Unexpected events happen to us all.This is why it is never completely within our power to determine the acceleration and elevation of our lives. We can, however, influence our futures to a meaningful degree through the intensity of our energies and the direction of our activities.Your energy and your activities, your decisions and their consequences are the gas pedal, the gearbox, the steering wheel and the roulette wheel of your life.Energy is the fuel that determines how fast your motor is spinning.How much energy are you expending each day?Activities determine your acceleration.What are you doing each day with your time?The amount of time you spend doing a thing – let's call it “practicing” – determines whether you are in first, second, third, fourth, or fifth gear.Decisions spin the roulette wheel of Probability.Consequences follow decisions.Some of these consequences will be the ones that you were hoping for when you made your decision. Others will not.Unintended consequences happen to us all.Serendipity is an unintended consequence that works in your favor. Catastrophe is an unintended consequence that works against you.Never assume that the roulette wheel of Probability will always land on a winning number. Even when you have a 90 percent probability of winning, one out of every ten spins of the roulette wheel will punish you for no reason.It isn't fair.It isn't right.You didn't plan for this.You didn't choose it.But it happened.Get over it. Get past it.Deal with it. Move on.Do not allow your ears to hear your mouth tell the story of your bad luck. Do not let your eyes read the words of it; for every time you revisit your dark story, you empower that one, bad spin of the roulette wheel to determine the acceleration and elevation of your life.Quit whining and start winning.What will you do with your energy and activities, your decisions and their consequences?Will you choose a journey that is structured and predictable, or will you choose an exciting adventure?Predictable, structured journeys are often tedious and soul-sucking.Adventures are exciting because they bubble with trouble and danger. If there lurks no Wicked Witch, no dragon, no lions or tigers or bears, you are not having an adventure.Paul Tournier wrote a marvelous book called “The Adventure of Living”.Here are a few bits of its wisdom:“The excitement of adventure rescues us from the Sea of Introspection that drowns many of those who hesitate.”“The adventurous life is not one exempt from fear, but on the contrary, one that is lived in full knowledge of fears of all kinds, one in which we go forward in spite of our fears.”“The law of adventure is that it dies as it achieves its object.”Dorothy, go, adventure beyond the Wicked Witch, the flying monkeys and the sleep of the poppies, all the way to Oz.Bilbo, go, adventure beyond William the troll and the spiders of Mirkwood into the lair of the dragon. Ride through the skies on the backs of giant eagles and return home as an altogether different Hobbit.Frodo, go, adventure to Mordor with elves, dwarves, and men, destroy the ring, save Middle earth, then sail away on the White Ship to the Undying Lands.Go, reader, find your adventure and feel alive again.Roy H.

GLP-1 receptor agonists (the "Ozempics of the world") have been a truly revolutionary pharmacological advance in modern medicine. In randomized controlled trials (RCTs), these agents have been shown to do much more than just reduce weight, including significantly reducing cardiovascular events, lowering all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, and even slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease. But as we see their use rapidly expand among older adults, we have to ask: at what cost? In geriatrics, weight loss is rarely simple. In older bodies, GLP1s carry increased risks, including accelerated muscle loss, functional decline, and possibly decreased bone density. So are we just trading weight loss for frailty? To help us untangle this complex web, we sit down with three expert geriatricians in obesity: Dr. John Batsis, Dr. Shen Dewar, and Dr. Aruna Josyula. What We Discuss in This Episode: How age-related changes alter the distribution of fat and muscle, even when body weight stays exactly the same. What are sarcopenia (muscle loss) and sarcopenic obesity, and why are they so dangerous for independence? A discussion on what happens to fat, muscle, and bone during standard weight loss versus weight loss accelerated by GLP-1s. Whether GLP-1-induced muscle loss a direct biological side effect from suppressed muscle protein synthesis, or is it simply the indirect result of a massive caloric deficit and dropping protein intake? A broad, geriatric-focused approach to weight, including a vital review of common medications that might actually be causing weight gain in the first place. Practical, actionable strategies to protect muscle mass and function when prescribing GLP1s A discussion of red flags in older adults, where we should have major hesitation before ever writing a prescription for a GLP-1 We cover this and more in the podcast. There is a forthcoming article in JAGS that addresses this topic, and we will add the link here once published. If you want to take a deeper dive, take a look at some of the following references we discuss: Aruna's article in JAGS titled "One Size Fits None: Developing a Person-Centered Approach to Weight Management in Older Adults" John's Annal's article on the "Effect of Incretin-Based and Nonpharmacologic Weight Loss on Body Composition: A Systematic Review" John's article on the "Unintended risks of sarcopenic obesity during weight-loss interventions in older people" in Nature Med. An article titled "The Effects of Incretin Mimetic Therapies on Muscle and Bone Health in Older Adults" A systematic review of the effect of weight loss on muscle-based indices An article on "Treating Sarcopenic Obesity in the Era of Incretin Therapies: Perspectives and Challenges" Shen's article describing "The Optimal Health Weight and Lifestyle (OHWL) Clinic" Shen's article titled "A Geriatrician's Approach to Managing the Complex Older Adult with Obesity" Another JAGs article on "Older Adults with Obesity: The Need for a 4Ms Age-Friendly Approach to Care" Lastly, CMS's information on the GLP1 bridge program
In this episode of the Handyman Pros RadioShow, Larry and John break down the latest regulatory requirements and whatthey really mean for consumers, contractors, and the marketplace.We cover:• Overview of the new requirements• Effect on consumers — increased costs, reduced product choice, and potentialperformance issues• Environmental claims — will these rules actually save fuel and reducegreenhouse gas emissions? We look at the data and note that major emitters likeChina and India are not following the same path• Why is this being enforced now when the rules have been on the books since2003?• Unintended consequences: consumers crossing the border for products,potential safety trade-offs, loss of marketplace choice, and the question ofwhy the free market hasn't already adopted these changes if they were trulysuperiorIs the juice worth the squeeze? We dig into thereal-world impact so you can decide for yourself.Watch the full discussion and share yourthoughts in the comments.
In this episode, Jon and Adam explore why even the best-looking golf swings can still produce terrible shots—and why tiny changes at impact often matter more than what you can see on video. They break down the difference between “macro” swing mechanics and the micromechanics of strike, including how just a few millimeters of variation can turn a solid shot into a chunk or blade. They also discuss the “curse of the good ball striker,” where hitting more greens can actually make golfers feel worse about their putting because they're facing more long-range birdie attempts. Along the way, they explain why golfers should manage expectations, focus on what they can control, and accept that some variability and luck are unavoidable parts of the game.

What You Say is Not What They Hear What is the Difference Between Your Intended and Unintend Message? Episode 313 (Solo show featuring George Torok) In this episode we explore: why your whole message includes more than the words you intend to send four reasons your intended message might not get through why clarity in your head does not guarantee clarity for the listener how beliefs and past experiences filter what people hear how emotional state changes the meaning people receive why setting and delivery method influence interpretation how recent events can reshape audience receptiveness why unintended messages act like static around your main point how vocabulary and grammar influence credibility how body language can contradict spoken words how pace, pitch and inflection alter meaning why missing information can distract listeners how audience engagement strengthens communication how to reduce unintended messages before they sabotage your intended message ----- Your Host, George Torok: Is known as the Speech Coach for Executives because he's been coaching executive leaders to convey their messages with more confidence and success for 30 years. For 19 years, he hosted the radio show, Business in Motion, interviewing over 600 business and community leaders. As host of the podcast, Your Intended Message, he has interviewed communication specialists from 16 countries. George is co-author of the national bestseller, Secrets of Power Marketing, and contributed to 12 other books. His articles have been featured in magazines around the world, and he's written over 2,000 blog posts. An adventurer, he's visited over 30 countries on five continents and has run 12 marathons. ----- Key Lessons from this episode: Your whole message includes both the message you intend to send and the unintended messages that travel with it. Clarify your message before you speak. A message that feels clear in your head might become confusing when converted into words. Your intended message can fail because people were not listening, did not understand you or did not believe you. Communication requires several translations: from the thoughts in your head, into words, through the listener's filters and finally into meaning in their mind. Your audience filters your message through beliefs, past experiences, emotional state, setting, perspective and recent events. Recent experiences can influence how people receive your next message. An unresolved issue might block acceptance of a new idea. Unintended messages create communication static that can blur, weaken or contradict what you meant to convey. Vocabulary and grammar send messages about clarity, credibility and professionalism beyond the literal meaning of your words. Body language and voice can support your intended message or create doubt when they conflict with your words. The method of delivery matters. Email, phone, video, coffee conversation and boardroom discussion each shape how a message is received. Missing information can distract listeners when you raise a question but fail to answer it. Audience engagement strengthens the message. Reading slides or text can weaken connection and reduce attention. Distractions exist in the room, on the screen and inside the listener's mind. Effective communicators pay attention not only to what they intend to say, but also to the unintended messages attached to their delivery. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more. Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills. Especially presentation. He's fascinated by the links between communication and influencing behaviors. He delivers training and coaching programs to help leaders and promising professionals deliver the intended message for greater success.

In Episode 130 of I Learned About Flying From That, host Carl Valeri sits down with airline pilot and aviation attorney Chris Pezalla to recount a marathon time-building flight that quickly turned into a damp, late-night lesson in aeronautical decision-making. Twenty years ago, a 19-year-old Chris and a friend rented a Cessna 152 to fly from Daytona Beach down to Key West. What started as a straightforward opportunity to build cross-country flight time evolved into a grueling ordeal on the journey home.

Recorded live at DX Annual, Abi Noda, co-founder and CEO of DX, joins Brian Houck of Microsoft to share an early look at DX's new research on AI's impact on engineering velocity.Drawing on data from a sample of DX customers, they discuss what companies are actually seeing as AI adoption matures. Most organizations in the study saw pull request throughput increase by 10 to 15 percent—far more modest than the 10x gains often promised in industry headlines.They explore why coding remains only a small part of developer work, where time saved by AI may be going, and the unintended consequences of moving faster, from shifting bottlenecks to “false velocity.” Abi also shares how engineering leaders are applying AI beyond coding and how DX is evolving its measurement framework to account for both human and agent productivity.Where to find Brian Houck: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianhouck/ Where to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(00:53) What motivated DX's research into AI's impact on engineering velocity(02:36) How DX designed the study and selected companies(04:54) What DX's data reveals about AI's impact on engineering throughput(06:31) Why PR throughput was the most practical metric to publish(08:21) Why AI productivity gains are lower than many leaders expected(10:24) How an all-in culture can amplify AI productivity gains(12:35) Why it's hard to track where AI-generated time savings are going(15:04) Unintended consequences of AI-driven productivity gains(17:12) Why leaders should look beyond coding to the rest of the SDLC(19:43) Cognitive debt and the human costs of AI-assisted development(21:33) How DX's AI measurement framework is evolving(24:42) How to make agents more effectiveReferenced:• DX Core 4 Productivity Framework • DORA, SPACE, and DevEx: Which framework should you use?• Time Warp: The Gap Between Developers' Ideal vs Actual Workweeks in an AI-Driven Era - Microsoft • Research• How Generative and Agentic AI Shift Concern from Technical Debt to Cognitive Debt• Measuring AI code assistants and agents

In this episode, Jody Mayberry welcomes back retired director of South Carolina State Parks, Phil Gaines, to discuss the realities of managing capacity, infrastructure, and visitor expectations during the peak summer months. Phil and Jody trace how park philosophies have shifted from the old-school mentality of "packing them in" to a modern focus on preserving the social and resource carrying capacities of our public lands. They share personal stories from Zion and South Carolina's Lake Jocassee to highlight the balance between technology, transportation infrastructure, and personal connection. This episode serves as a guide for park supervisors on how to protect staff morale and prevent rangers from burning out on continuous traffic control. Read the blog for more from this episode.

EP 291. In this week's update:When a 200-pound internet-connected machine can be hijacked from 6,000 miles away, the smart home has officially become a liability.The moment security researchers have long anticipated has arrived: AI is no longer just defending systems - it's actively being used to break them.The same open ecosystems that accelerated AI adoption are now emerging as a significant and underestimated vector for supply chain attacks.In a landscape where breaches are inevitable, DigiCert's handling of a code-signing compromise offers a rare and instructive model for what accountability actually looks like.A browser trusted with your most sensitive credentials is quietly leaving them exposed in memory - and the vendor considers it working as intended.Google is embedding fraud detection directly into the operating system, signaling a fundamental shift in where the mobile security perimeter now begins.After years of a fragmented messaging security landscape, Apple and Google have closed one of the most glaring cross-platform encryption gaps in consumer technology.Decades of observational data linking coffee to longevity may finally have a molecular foundation - and it has nothing to do with caffeine.Let's go grab a mug!Find all links and the full transcript for this podcast here.
This week we highlight the multifaceted global impact of AI infrastructure and digital security, focusing on the physical and financial costs of technological expansion. Reports detail how massive data centers are straining public utilities, causing power disputes in Kenya and Maryland while leading to significant water waste in Georgia. In the realm of cybersecurity, researchers have identified critical vulnerabilities in smart home devices and "zero-day" exploits developed by artificial intelligence, prompting tech giants like Google and Apple to implement stricter protections. Meanwhile, the professional landscape is shifting as Amazon and Nvidia emphasize AI-driven metrics and proprietary software ecosystems, creating new pressures for employees and developers alike. Collectively, these narratives illustrate that while AI offers advancements in molecule design and medical research, its integration into daily life demands greater transparency and more robust infrastructure management.
There's little doubt that the conflict in Iran has hurt much of the world economy. But not Russia. Data suggests that the Kremlin has already made billions of dollars in additional oil revenue since the United States and Israel attacked Iran. But beyond just cash, how much will this change President Vladimir Putin's broader strategy? And what does this mean for the fate of the war in Ukraine? Alexander Gabuev, the director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, joins FP Live to explain how Russia is navigating a moment of particular global flux. Plus, Ravi offers his read on U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing. Christian Caryl: Vladimir Putin Is Much Weaker Than You Think Sean Wiswesser: Don't Fall for Rumors of Putin's Weakness Keith Johnson: Russia Is Making Bank on Trump's Iran War Christian Caryl: How Ukraine Benefited From Trump's Iran War Alexey Kovalev: Russia's War Boom Masks an Economic Implosion Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan Mail“How to reduce pressure on young athletes?” “How can I support my kids in youth sports?” “How do sports shape character in kids?” — Kids worldwide engage in team sports, and for years it has brought joy to the players. Recently, though, the commercialization of youth sports, as well as motivations beyond character building and fun, have placed undue pressure on young athletes. This unhealthy pressure leads to stress, overwhelm, and tension. In part one of Benoit Harpey and Kayla Richerson's conversation with Harvey Araton—New York Times columnist and sports journalist, author, and father—we learn about the true goal of team sports, which lies in character building. Harvey shares his own story; explains how budget constraints, scholarship goals, and sports commercialization take away from the joy; and provides applicable advice for avoiding these negative effects. Together, we dive into the true purpose of youth sports, how to cultivate growth, and how to make the most of what kids really love.
Uterine hysterotomy unintended extensions happen. For sure. This has been analyzed over many years, and it is still making news. Look at this mini-timeline: Back in 2018, authors published “Unintended hysterotomy extension during caesarean delivery: risk factors and maternal morbidity”. Moving up the timeline to 2020, others published in J Maternal-Fetal Neonatal Medicine, “Risk factors for uterine incision extension during cesarean delivery”. Then in 2024, in the PINK journal, authors published a related study, “The association between unintended hysterotomy extensions with cesarean delivery and subsequent preterm birth”. In this episode, we will review a new narrative review (in the Green Journal, May 3, 2026) of unintended hysterotomy extension at C-section. We will summarize known risk factors and focus on subsequent uterine rupture risk. Does unintended hysterotomy extension at CS increase TOLAC uterine rupture? It's complicated. Listen in for details.1. Giugale LE, Sakamoto S, Yabes J, Dunn SL, Krans EE. Unintended hysterotomy extension during caesarean delivery: risk factors and maternal morbidity. J Obstet Gynaecol. 2018 Nov;38(8):1048-1053.2. Epub: Unintentional Extensions of the Cesarean Hysterotomy Incision. A Review and Proposed Classification System (May 3, 2026)

For the first time in over a century, renewables have knocked coal out of the top spot for global electricity generation — and solar is the reason why. Emma Varvaloucas, Executive Director of The Progress Network, breaks down what this energy milestone actually means, and why geopolitics is unexpectedly accelerating the clean energy transition. Plus: forty years after the worst nuclear disaster in history, wildlife is flourishing inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone; a Utah startup claims it has grown functional human sperm in a lab — a potential breakthrough for male infertility; and NASA is branching into the human organ delivery industry. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and Kaleidoscope.

What if screens are not the real problem but the way we are using them is? In this powerful and practical conversation, physician and digital wellbeing researcher Dr Sajita Setia explains why today's children are growing up in what she calls the largest unintended human experiment with technology and how families can respond with clarity instead of guilt We explore what healthy digital habits actually look like in real homes and classrooms: Why the “guilt trap” is hurting parents and children more than screens themselves • How tech companies are intentionally designed to capture attention and why children are not “addicted” but manipulated • The three step framework that works in real families: Name it, Move it, Team it • Why keeping devices out of the bedroom may be the fastest way to improve sleep, mood, and behaviour • How sleep deprivation is quietly driving irritability, low mood, and school struggles in teens • Why emotional regulation skills must come before digital literacy • The truth about delaying smartphones, dumb phones, smart watches, and realistic boundaries • How peer mentoring in schools can shift digital culture from the inside out Dr Sajita works at the intersection of medicine, research, and real family life. As both a clinician and a mother, she brings a rare combination of scientific depth and compassionate realism to the digital wellbeing conversation If you are a parent, educator, or simply someone trying to raise grounded kids in a screen-saturated world, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed steps you can implement immediately. Healthy tech is not about banning devices. It is about connection, boundaries, sleep, and intention.

In this season of Lent, we're on a break from new episodes and are re-running a conversation from 2023 that we had the co-author of Freeing Congregational Mission, Dr. Hunter Farrell. He served as a long-term missionary in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru and now works as the Director of the World Mission Initiative at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Dr. Farrell brings a wealth of first hand and research knowledge about Christian Mission. After 35 years in intercultural missions, he is calling for a reframing of missions. What would it look like to approach missions with a learning posture? How can we create spaces of connection for shared learning across cultures?
