Podcasts about TIA

What's the real cost of fraud, and how do we finally shut the door on the criminals exploiting the transportation industry? In this episode, Chris Burroughs breaks down how the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) is stepping up with a new fraud hotline that connects 2,000 members directly to the FBI, helping track patterns, tighten data collection, and speed up responses to cargo crime! We also dig into how organized crime takes advantage of weak FMCSA oversight, why boosting the broker bond matters, the push for enforcement under MAP-21, the role industry advocacy plays, why unregulated dispatch services are becoming a serious risk, the ongoing broker transparency debate, and the need for consistent standards across the board!   About Chris Burroughs Chris Burroughs is the President and CEO for the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA).

In this raw and powerful conversation, author and survivor Tia Levings joins Pat Kahnke and Amy Hawk to expose the hidden cruelty behind Pete Hegseth's rise in Christian nationalist circles — and the broader religious movement that enabled him. Drawing from her memoir A Well-Trained Wife and her upcoming book I Belong to Me, Tia shares what it's like to grow up under church-sanctioned patriarchy, escape at midnight with her children, and heal from years of religious trauma.

Now I was back on my own, just me, myself, and I.  But my attention stayed with my breath as it continued to flow in and out of me.    "As long as I'm breathing, I'll know that I'm still alive," I thought.    Now, I had been meditating for many, many years, and part of that practice is to focus on your breath, but this was completely different.  Before, the breath was a calming presence.  Now, it was literally my lifeline. Breathing no longer felt like an automatic process and I made no assumptions about it.  As each breath went out, it was clear that the next one might not be coming in. Instead of just feeling an automatic, mechanical motion, it felt more and more like each breath coming into me was like I was receiving some kind of a consciously given gift. After some time, I started feeling a little better. My eyesight problem was still the same, but my system seemed to have stabilized a little. I got up and walked around the pool for a bit. I kept feeling better and better, but I still could barely see. I could make out the time on my watch and was surprised to see that the whole episode had happened in about 30 minutes. My wife, Sally, hadn't even come down to the pool yet. I decided to relax and see if I kept feeling better. Maybe my eyesight would clear up and it would all just pass. Sally came down about ten minutes later and she was pretty alarmed when she saw me. I felt a lot better, but she was very concerned. After a little while, she convinced me to go back up to our apartment with her and get into bed. I must have dozed off for a while because the next thing I knew, our family doctor walked into our bedroom. He was actually a member of our pool and when he got there for the day, some friends told him what was happening with me.  He called Sally and she asked him to come up and give me a quick exam. I was surprised to see him. I asked him if he was planning on playing any golf over the weekend. He didn't answer. He just took one look at me and said, "You're going to the hospital right now. " He took my pulse and said to Sally, "Go get an ambulance and tell them it's urgent." When I heard the word "ambulance" I said to Sally, "Make sure they're taking me to Lankenau and not Roxborough," Our condo is on the border between two hospitals. Lankenau is much more of a suburban hospital and Roxborough is located within the city limits. They always tell you to pick Lankenau if you get your choice. She came back in the room in a matter of moments. "OK," she said to me, "They're on their way over and they're taking you to Lankenau." "Is that for certain?" I asked. "Absolutely," she answered. "They understood completely. There's no question about it at all." At that point, a whole different momentum started and I realized that my responsibilities in the world had just come to an end. I was about to become a patient, and the only thing I had to do was cooperate with the people who were about to take care of me. Whatever they told me to do, I would do. It was all out of my hands now. Was I going to live? Or was I about to die? Who could say? I thought I had been feeling better, but from the look on my doctor's face, it was obvious that I was clearly in serious trouble. All that I had left now was my breath. It was the only thing that I could rely upon. "As long as I can feel my breath, I'll know I still have a body," I thought.  "If I'm still conscious, but I can't feel my breath anymore, then I'll know the change has happened and I'll just have to take it from there. But as long as I'm still breathing, I'm still here." The ambulance came within a few minutes and I was on my way.  The next 36 hours were pretty much of a blur. Sally told me later that I wasn't given any drugs or sedatives at all, but I kept drifting in and out of consciousness. They took me to Lankenau, which is one of the top hospitals in our area. But after a CAT Scan, they immediately decided that my condition was critical and rushed me downtown to the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital of Neuroscience in the middle of the night.   They determined that I was long past the point where they could have given me a "clot buster" to take care of the stroke. There was absolutely nothing they could do now but put me in intensive care and monitor me closely. While they hoped for the best, they gravely told Sally to prepare for the worst. "Stay with him. Hold his hand. Talk to him," they said. "We might lose him tonight. Just…just don't let him slip away…" The next thing I became aware of, I was lying in a hospital bed and Sally was holding my hand. When I opened my eyes and looked at her, she looked like she had really been through hell. She told me that I had been out of it for about 36 hours.           "You've had a stroke," she said. "But you're going to be alright," she assured me calmly and kept holding my hand.           I looked around. I was obviously in an intensive care room. I moved every part of my body to see if everything was working okay and it was. I actually felt fine. Two close friends of mine had been through small stroke episodes over the past year. They were mini-strokes. They had to stay in the hospital overnight and then they went home. They were told that it wasn't a big deal. I was pretty sure that's what had happened to me. I felt completely fine. My vision had cleared up, except I had lost a small part of my upper left peripheral vision. But other than that, I seemed fine. Doctors and nurses came and went over the next half hour. They seemed happy to see that I was awake and gave me some very quick exams. One of them told Sally that I seemed to be doing pretty well and that she could take a break. I don't know how long she had been there for, but she decided to go stretch her legs a little and get some coffee. The room that I was in had no windows, so it was impossible to tell what time of day it was. One of the nurses suggested that I relax and doze off for a little. Soon, I was lying in the room by myself. I closed my eyes to take it easy, but I had a funny experience. I found that I had some kind of inner vision. I could clearly see images inside of myself with my eyes closed. I saw an endless parade of black and white sketches. They were all of rabbis dressed in religious clothing, all from centuries long ago.  It was crystal clear. There must have been hundreds of them, one right after another. Black and white sketch after sketch. It went on for a really long time. Then suddenly, instead of sketches, a small grey statue appeared. It was the image of the Madonna holding the Holy Child and it was really exquisite. As I stared at it, it rotated, giving me several different views. Then, all of a sudden, a full color figure burst out of the Madonna part of the statue. And to my shock and surprise, it was Wonder Woman, the comic book character. She was in her red, blue and gold outfit and she was wearing her bright gold crown on her head. She was standing on the ledge of a mountain and I noticed that she was holding a large grey sack. She looked at me, pulled her gold crown down over her eyes like a visor and flew into my brain. I watched as she methodically pulled glob after glob of bloody tissue out of my brain and put it into her sack. This went on for quite a while. Finally, she flew back out of my brain, and landed on the ledge of the mountaintop. She lifted the visor of her crown off of her eyes and put it back on top of her head. She looked at me and even though she was a miniature version of herself, she seemed to be the embodiment of raw power. She gave me a strong salute, grabbed the bag full of bloody brain material and flew away. I must have drifted off to sleep after that, because the next thing I knew, I awoke to Sally holding my hand again. She said I'd been out for about an hour.   *         *          *   Sometime a bit later, a very  important looking doctor came walking into the room. He looked like he was in his middle sixties and was surrounded by about five medical students who were obviously studying under him. He introduced himself to me and told me that he was the actual head of the hospital. He gave me a quick examination and said a few things to his students. Then he sat down on the bed and looked me straight in the eyes. "David," he began. "It's really important that you understand something. What you had was not a mini-stroke or a TIA or anything like that. What you had was a major neurological episode that could have killed you in about three seconds, or maimed you permanently for the rest of your life. "You could have been blinded, paralyzed, lost your ability to speak, or all of it at the same time." I was completely taken by surprise. I had no idea that any of that was true. I had basically been in a very comfortable, dreamy state, with absolutely no sense of danger. "Now it looks like you're going to walk away from this whole thing basically unharmed. But you're going to have to take care of your Atrial Fibrillation. The stroke was a direct result of it," he concluded. "Really?" I asked. "Absolutely," he replied. "There's no question about it. The clot came straight from your heart." I had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat, about six months earlier. I had been treated with medication, but apparently it didn't help. "Listen, the chances of walking away unscathed from a stroke of this magnitude are less than one in a thousand. You can't reach back into the deck and pull out another card like this again. You have to take care of the A-Fib when you get out of here. "Which brings me to another point," he continued. 'We're keeping you here for another ten days until we know your blood has been thinned down. We have to protect you from having another stroke. "The next forty-eight hours are critical though. Even though the worst is over, it's still possible that you can have some swelling of the brain or even some brain bleeding.  There can be damaged tissue involved. It's not uncommon with a stroke. So we're going to keep a really close watch on you. Suddenly, in my mind, I flashed on an image of Wonder Woman. As if sending me a message, she triumphantly held up the bag full of bloody material she had pulled out of my brain.  "But as it is, you're looking pretty good," the doctor concluded and gave me a big smile. He looked over at a bulletin board on the wall. There was a sign that said," David, Your Assignment Today Is To EAT." "Oh yeah," he said and pointed to the sign. "Eat, David. Eat up! You haven't had anything in your system for a long time. You have to make up for it." He gave me another very kind smile and walked out of the room, the five medical students trailing behind him. They closed the door and I was left alone in the dimly lit environment. I took a few breaths and let this new information sink into me. I had survived a major neurological episode that could have killed me in a matter of seconds or seriously injured me on a permanent basis. But now, according to this major medical authority, all was well.  It was all way too much for me to process at that point but for some reason, I suddenly flashed on Wonder Woman holding that bagful of bloody brain matter, and her look of absolute assurance as she put her crown back on her head and gave me a warm salute that seemed to convey a deeply positive essence, rooted in the very power behind infinity. And as I intuitively let go of it all, I could feel the breath continue coming into me and going out. Coming in and going out. It was the same as it ever was, only very different…

Greetings in love, light, and wisdom as one.  A situation arose with this month's channeling session with the members of Ashtar Command and the session chosen for this month only had ten minutes total on side B. We had another tape with only the first thirty minutes recorded so we added them together to make a complete addition to the Ashtar Command archives. We will have guests in the second session but this session it was just me answering questions right away from Korton about a astral travel trip Tia and I had taken earlier that day out to Alpha Centauri and back using Sirius as a waypoint. This was a breakthrough for me that we had made it that far to visit the base on Alpha Centauri and so he was interested in the process that helped me achieve that trip. He can only stay for a short while so Tia comes on and we go over the trip also as a sort of continuing debrief of how everything went. Much of what we discuss is about the navigation needed to reach a point in space when constellations are changing as your position in space is changing. She gives me some good tips about using known planets and constellations as waypoints so as to not lose direction. She also helps me to understand the use of charged particles and dark matter as fuel that I was testing out for the first time. We next talk about the base itself on Alpha Centauri and how it was outside instead of being deep below a planet like Hades base. We finished with coming up with analogies to use for future trips that will bring back all the successful things done that day. Kiri is the next very pregnant speaker and we start off with chitchat about her pregnancy, the end of the ski season and putting in a golf course on the base. She has a funny response to that last one. We finally get to coercion questions and her advice for shortening coercive commands into one or two word sentences. After that it's time for Omal to come on for the minute or so left on the tape before we move on to his picking things up again on side two.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 02/06/93 & 05/20/1994. Side one includes:   1.)(0:00)- Korton only has a few minutes to channel so he uses the time to debrief me on a trip he already had a report but wanted to hear firsthand what it was I did to get to where I was going in my astral body.   2.)(3:46)- Tia and I now go over what took place during our astral travel trip together to Alpha Centauri and how not to get lost when constellations seen from Earth look so different the closer you get to them.   2.)(3:46)- Tia and I now go over what took place during our astral travel trip together to Alpha Centauri and how not to get lost when constellations seen from Earth look so different the closer you get to them.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Omal returns to questions about farsighting or would have except that he happened across a file in Mark's brain called Python humor. He couldn't resist and broke out a Monty Python joke to liven things up. We get back on topic which is ideas he can provide to take it to the next step from all that Tia had gone over. What he suggests is visiting Sedona and the various universities around the world to help with looking for landmarks to find my way to each one. He identifies those places of learning that were working on astral travel at the time. He next suggests other places around the world like visit to hone my skill at astral travel such as Edinburgh or the Imperial Palace in China. That was all we had time for so we move on from there to the next session where this time we would have guests. Kiri is the ring mistress for the session and starts things off with introductions all around. She gets a surprise in that one of the guests has a son in the room called Alex which happens to be her son's name also. Before we get to questions and answers, there is some housekeeping she needed to go over which was a visit that Mark and I had planned to a psychic who was able to read auras and her husband. The plan was to have Kiri and Karra channeling through Mark but he would be up on the base in his astral body at the same time. So his physical body would be theirs to use and they would feed me questions while we talked to the people. We have been trying to perfect the technique since we had discovered it during a Pink Floyd concert. When we do get the questions, it is about coercion lessons for one of the guests who was moving to Las Vegas where it might come in handy. So she gives a basic primer on coercion for him along with examples of various coercers throughout history. She next does a coercion example by trying to coerce a cat in the room. We finish up so Omal can get us to the end of the tape by offering advice about a light sound technology that we were looking to test. It would integrate pulsed lights flashed through goggles that would correspond to sound coming through at the same time. It was thought it would be a way to achieve deeper states of consciousness along with opening up deeper states of the mind. Omal was already familiar with the tech and what it could do so his advice was very helpful. The technology was also thought to help with stopping smoking which is just about where the tape stopped as well. It was a good session where we learned a lot.

Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Omal finishes out a short session by suggesting locations I can visit in my astral body to build up the skill. He also suggests looking at maps ahead of time to note any landmarks to point the way. 2.)(9:07)- Kiri starts off a brand new channeling session with making arrangements for a planned visit to someone who could see auras. She then gives a coercion primer for a guest in the room to get him started.   3.)(25:15)- Omal gives his take on some googles designed to help increase psychic skills by using lights that strobe and sounds in ways that act on the brain. One of the benefits was to help reach a Theta state.

Dr. Lori McElroy begins this podcast by describing the effects of trauma on nursing students' academic progression and well being and explains why using a trauma-informed approach (TIA) in nursing education is important. Along with Dr. McElroy, Dr. Stacy King and Dr. Valerie Eschiti discuss some practical strategies faculty can use to create a trauma-informed learning environment for students. They also share the outcomes of their scoping review on literature related to a TIA in nursing education.

Monique gets reacquainted with her Potomac crew, but gets more than she bargained for with some of the ladies. Stacey introduces Tia to Thiemo with interesting results. At Gizelle's Reasonably Shady party, Keiarna and Tia confront Stacey about her pattern of inconsistency. #RHOP #GizelleBryant #StaceyRusch Thank you for your support of this channel

Mandy brings her friend Jodi Tirengel back on the podcast to discuss their adventures at BravoCon last weekend. From the beginning, it was a bravolebrity packed few days, with Giselle and Tia being on their flight. Mandy and Jodi share a play by play of the weekend and discuss their meaningful conversation with Bronwyn, some tea they heard about the Craig/Paige breakup, and a very memorable interaction with Tom Sandoval.Get Dayna Wyland's jewelry: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DaynaWylandJewelryFollow Jodi on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jodigetinsta/Follow Mandy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mandyslutsker/

The Hogwarts Professor comment threads have been jumping so Nick Jeffery and John Granger decided to dedicate a conversation to a review of the Greatest Hits in the last week (to do a complete review yourself, click on ‘Activity' in the left margin of the Hogwarts Professor Substack home page).After their reviewing the remarkably global and growing audience of Rowling Readers — 36 countries, 46 states! — and tracking The Presence's location — her yacht seems to be in Fiji but she is touring Levesden Studios? — Nick and John read out fifteen comment subjects and discuss the merits, deficiencies, and promise of each.The lede story is the theory shared by Jaclyn Hayes that Cormoran Strike and the late Charlotte Campbell were half-siblings with Jonny Rokeby in common as their absentee father. From her notes: I think Charlotte was blackmailed (via threat of exposing the relatedness btw her and Cormoran) into marrying Jago to provide him a male heir. Perhaps their relatedness is even an open secret in Charlotte's family, similar to the “secret” relatedness of Decima and Rupert in THM (another parallel). Charlotte was forbidden from telling Cormoran about the blackmail, but since she's conniving and obsessed with him, she uses their unexpected encounter at the Paralympics gala to drop hints about her predicament, hoping he'll solve the mystery and save her or take her back once she's fulfilled the terms of her marriage/birth agreement with Jago. She then orchestrates another encounter with Cormoran to drop more hints-- this time at Franco's, which she knows will trigger the memory of her father's outrage at seeing her and Cormoran dating again. She hopes Cormoran will realize her father was angry because he knew they were related, not simply because he thinks Cormoran wasn't good enough for her. She then tells Coromoran things would be different if he'd taken the job her father offered him (calling to mind the job Tara gives Rupert to keep him quiet in THM), and says she found out she was pregnant at Tara's house and later “lost” (not aborted) the baby. Read the whole thing. Ed Shardlow's response, in which he points out that the hallmark given to silver and DNA testing of human beings have a lot in common, and Tamspells and Jaclyn Hayes discussion of Strike's dreams in previous books give the Strike:Charlotte::Rupert:Decima theory some heft. Cheryl Rose Orrocks asked for help with research she is doing on a possible divine marker, mythologically divine at least, being placed in each book at the appearance of that novel's killer. The only holes in her theory at the time Nick and John recorded their conversation were Troubled Blood and Running Grave — and Catherine has since posted a neat solution for Strike 5. Check that out and please share the missing god or goddess from Running Grave!Nick and John also review and discuss:* Ed Shardlow's idea that the characters creating narratives inside Rowling-Galbraith stories are perhaps best understood as creating their stories as Rowling writes hers, i.e., inspired by Lake material and crafted with the tools in their Sheds;* Vicky's thank you to Dr Fimi for the Ursula Le Guin quotation;* Ed Shardlow's ‘RL Mystery' with back-up from Tamspells and J. S. Maleksen;* Cheryl Rose Orrocks' YouTube notes about the Dirty Bomb Theory conversation (and just how wrong John is about Carmen the opera and Carmen Ellacott); and* Answers to listener requests for more information — all of which can be found in the Links section below!In the week to come, John pledges to post his Hallmarked Man Names exegesis, Nick is working on his review of Aurora Leigh, the supposed template of Ink Black Heart (and the only book ever confirmed by Rowling as such), they will record their Part Two ring charting this weekend, and John is reorganizing his 2017 seven week online course — Wizard Reading Formula — for which class Paid Subscribers will get a greater than 50% discount.John and Nick thank everyone listening and especially those active on the comment threads and taking part in the Hallmarked Man Ring Reading Workshop!Links to Subjects Discussed in the Conversation Above:Cheryl Rose Orrocks: Can you let me know the title and author of the book about Gothic elements?The one John used for Harry Potter's Bookshelf was Patterns of fear in the Gothic novel, 1790-1830 by Ann Tracy, now only ‘in print' via a Kindle version.John read from his much longer Harry Meets Hamlet and Scrooge: Harry Potter's Hogwarts Adventures as the Gateway to English Literature in the conversation above, in which the list of subjects is spelled out (e.g., the castle, supernatural atmosphere, horror, isolation, subterranean passages, fragmentation and reunion, prophecy, ancestral curse, tainted blood, bond of blood, graveyard, corpses, Decay of Aristocratic Privilege, Rise of Bourgeoisie, forest, memories, dreams, found book, doppelgangers, scar or tell-tale mark, mysterious stranger, confused origin, night, mist and fog, distant past, death,, etc.).John also recommends The Handbook of Gothic Literature, ed. Marie Mulvy-Roberts, and The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction, ed. Jerrold Hogle.Who is the mystery writer John was talking about who killed a women when she was an adolescent?Anne Perry, author of the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt and William Monk series of historical detective fiction. John recommends Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century, the book written by the journalist who out'd Perry as a convicted murderer writing murder mysteries. Perry died in 2023. J. S. Maleksen I too enjoyed this post, immensely. Can someone recommend a version of Cupid and Psyche and other relevant works of mythology for a Striker who assiduously avoided mythology through seven years of post-secondary education. I'm willing to gut it out in order to understand Rowling's work. TIA.John shared his favorites in the conversation above — Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, Graves' The Greek Myths, Powell's Classical Myth, and Schwab's Gods and Heroes: Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece but Dr Dimitra Fimi responded in the thread today:It's a really difficult question this, and yet it shouldn't be. But the truth is that there is no contemporary authoritative collection of Greek/Classical mythological retellings that's up-to-date with recent scholarship, etc. Catherine recommends Hamilton's book below, which is still good in many respects, but these earlier compilations (like Bulfinch's too) often synthesize different versions of mythological narratives, and omit some interesting variations. My recommendations are a bit heavier on the scholarly side of things, but still readable (the issue will be getting hold of them, but I provide links where possible):1) Classical Myth by Barry B. Powell - as implied by the astronomical price on Amazon.uk (https://amzn.to/3JYkLfF) this is mostly available second-hand now, but there is a scanned version via Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/classicalmyth0000powe (you'll need to create a free account, but once you do you can log in and borrow the book digitally to read)2) Early Greek Myth: A Guide to Literary and Artistic Sources (2 Volumes) by Timothy Gantz is great, and at least easier to get hold of. It gives the tales and their versions as well as an overview of their sources. The Amazon price of Vol. 1, for example, is a bit more accessible: https://amzn.to/4oTFKQ1For those interested in the de profundis interpretation of classical myth, see The Door in the Sky: Coomaraswamy on Myth and Meaning and Symbolism in Greek Mythology by Paul Diel.You can find the post about Beedle the Bard that Dr Fimi discussed in her conversation with Nick and John at her Substack, ‘A Kind of Elvish Craft:' “You must've heard of Babbitty Rabbitty!”: Secondary World Fairy Tales in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Series This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit hogwartsprofessor.substack.com/subscribe

Cyberattacks against U.S. government employees surged by 85% during the recent government shutdown, with projections estimating over 555 million attacks by the end of November 2025. These attacks, characterized as targeted digital assaults rather than generic phishing attempts, exploit vulnerabilities during periods of financial stress, particularly affecting essential employees in agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Justice. Experts warn that the implications of these cyber threats extend beyond immediate breaches, potentially undermining recruitment and trust in government institutions.In a related development, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to remove several cybersecurity regulations established after breaches by Chinese hackers targeting major telecommunications companies. This decision, made along party lines, reverses requirements for telecoms to enhance cybersecurity measures and submit annual risk management certifications. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr argued that voluntary efforts from carriers would be more effective, despite concerns from Democratic lawmakers about increased public vulnerability. Additionally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed its case against SolarWinds Corporation, which had been accused of failing to disclose vulnerabilities related to the 2020 Sunburst attack.The episode also highlights the growing complexity in the technology landscape, with vendors rolling out new identity tools and autonomous agents that increase operational challenges for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). OpenAI introduced group chats in ChatGPT, enhancing collaborative capabilities, while RSA launched RSA ID Plus for Microsoft, aimed at improving security in regulated sectors. TeamViewer unveiled TIA, an intelligent agent for autonomous IT support, and Sophos integrated its services with Microsoft Security Suite, further complicating the identity management landscape.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the need to establish a clear identity baseline and governance model amidst a rapidly evolving threat landscape and regulatory environment. As cyber threats become more targeted and regulations loosen, MSPs must proactively define their security standards and operational strategies. The increasing fragmentation of identity solutions and the rise of autonomous agents necessitate a focus on risk management and operational clarity to maintain client trust and ensure effective service delivery. Three things to know today 00:00 Targeted Federal Cyberattacks Surge as FCC Rolls Back Telecom Rules and SEC Ends SolarWinds Case, Leaving MSPs to Fill the Governance Gap05:42 Identity Wars, Agent Sprawl, and Rising Collaboration Expectations Put New Pressure on MSP Governance10:42 AI Isn't Just a Tool Anymore — It's Reshaping MSPs, Risk Strategy, and the Future of Agent MarketplacesThis is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/

CardioNerds (Dr. Kelly Arps, Dr. Naima Maqsood, and Dr. Elizabeth Davis) discuss chronic AF management with Dr. Edmond Cronin. This episode seeks to explore the chronic management of atrial fibrillation (AF) as described by the 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines. The discussion covers the different AF classifications, symptomatology, and management including medications and invasive therapies. Importantly, the episode explores current gaps in knowledge and where there is indecision regarding proper treatment course, as in those with heart failure and AF. Our expert, Dr. Cronin, helps elucidate these gaps and apply guideline knowledge to patient scenarios. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah.

Vague exertional intolerance is common  Some patients also have polyuria due to increased production of atrial natriuretic peptide  Less commonly can present as tachycardia-associated cardiomyopathy or syncope  Cardioversion into sinus rhythm may be diagnostic to help determine if a given set of symptoms are from atrial fibrillation to help guide the expected utility of more aggressive rhythm control strategies.   What are the current guidelines regarding rhythm control and available options?  COR-LOE 1B: In patients with reduced LV function and persistent (or high burden) AF, a trial of rhythm control should be recommended to evaluate whether AF is contributing to the reduced LV function   COR-LOE 2a-B: In patients with reduced LV function and persistent (or high burden) AF, a trial of rhythm control should be recommended to evaluate whether AF is contributing to the reduced LV function.

A wave of layoffs in Square Enix sparks worry, as the company enters the second year of its three year restructuring plan. We discuss the impact this will have on Square Enix as a whole, and if it will affect Final Fantasy XIV at all. The voice of G'raha Tia, Jonathan Bailey, was awarded the title "Sexiest Man Alive". We discuss if Jonathan Bailey is about to be replaced due to his likely high cost and limited schedule now. We also discuss mysteries in video games - and the risk of revealing too much. We also discuss SE's recent announcement about their push for AI, aiming to replace 70% of their QA teams with AI.► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpeakersXIV ► Become a Speakers YT Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BQVHKP5x3Cs62MB0DF5EQ/join ► Merchandise: https://speakersxiv-shop.fourthwall.com/ ► Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/speakersxiv.bsky.social ► Catch us LIVE on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/SpeakersXIV ► Speakers Discord: https://discord.gg/ATBUccS

Send us a textRHOP-Forks, Filters & FeelingsPodcast Summary – RHOP S10 E6: “Sun Out, Buns Out”The ladies are still in Nevis for Night 2 of their trip, and tensions are running high. The night starts with a round of shady shots at Sunshine's—where everyone's labels reveal some hidden digs (like “Giselle Hater” for Kiarna).Meanwhile, Ashley, Staci, and Jassi have a secret villa chat where Staci clarifies her “separation” and denies ever sleeping with Chris Samuels. The next day, the group heads out on a yacht, which quickly becomes the stage for a long-awaited confrontation between Giselle and Kiarna. Giselle reveals that during the time Kiarna was hurt she didn't call, Giselle was dealing with her father's cancer and death. With help from Tia, they manage to reach an emotional truce—at least for now.Later, Jassi and Tia clash at dinner over filters, forks, and fiery words. What starts as a light convo about photo filters turns into Jassi waving a fork and mocking Tia's accent—sending tensions soaring.Back at the villa, off-camera mics catch Angel calling Jassi a “snaggletooth, stringy-haired hot piece of trash,” which sets up more chaos heading into the final night.For the bachelorette party (“Slut Night”), the women dress outrageously and attempt to have fun—but drama strikes again when Angel and Jassi rehash old gossip. Angel shares a painful past involving false accusations during her relationship with Bobby, while Jassi insists she was just warning her. The emotional talk leaves Angel in tears, feeling betrayed and exhausted.The episode ends with Angel breaking down, calling Bobby, and Kiarna and Giselle checking on her—closing the night on a somber note amid the chaos of “Sun Out, Buns Out.”Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy, and Tia Mitchell discuss the Senate's procedural vote to advance a deal that could end the record-long government shutdown and what the proposal means for Georgia. They explain why Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock voted against the measure and how both parties are preparing for the political fallout. Then Greg and Tia sit down with Congressman Buddy Carter, a Republican running for U.S. Senate, to get his thoughts on the shutdown negotiations, health care subsidies, and his ongoing effort to win Donald Trump's endorsement in Georgia's GOP race.

Who is using who, who is really mad at who, what role did BravoCon play in all of this and why RHIONJ will not be back to filming anytime even remotely soon.  Aaron Phypers may be playing it real cool with a huge smile on his face but the future does not look so bright so he can keep his shades at home.
