This Day in Legal History: Vermont Abolishes Slavery for MenOn July 8, 1777, the Vermont Republic adopted a constitution that became the first in what would eventually become the United States to formally abolish slavery. At the time, Vermont was not yet a state—it was an independent republic formed after declaring independence from both New York and British colonial rule. The new constitution, influenced by Enlightenment principles and revolutionary ideals, declared that “no male person born in this country, or brought from over sea, ought to be held by law, to serve any person, as a servant, slave or apprentice” after the age of 21.This clause effectively outlawed slavery for adult men and set the groundwork for emancipation, although enforcement was inconsistent. Vermont's action was revolutionary, especially considering that slavery remained deeply entrenched in both the southern and northern American colonies. While other Northern states like Pennsylvania and Massachusetts would later take steps toward abolition, Vermont's constitutional ban was a bold and early legal rebuke of human bondage.Despite its symbolic significance, the legal impact was somewhat limited. Vermont did not join the Union until 1791, and historical records indicate that some slavery-like practices may have persisted unofficially. Nevertheless, the 1777 constitution established an early legal precedent for anti-slavery sentiment, showing how legal documents could be used to challenge institutional oppression. The language also hinted at the contradictions between American ideals of liberty and the reality of enslavement.Several major U.S. medical organizations filed a lawsuit on July 7 against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the HHS, challenging recent changes to federal COVID-19 vaccine policy. The plaintiffs—including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Physicians—are seeking to overturn Kennedy's directive removing COVID-19 vaccines from the CDC's immunization schedules for children and pregnant women. They argue that the move poses an immediate threat to public health and undermines evidence-based medical policy.The complaint accuses Kennedy of dismantling the federally established vaccine framework that has historically saved millions of lives. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, took control of HHS earlier this year and has taken steps to reshape vaccine policy. In addition to altering the immunization schedules, he also dismissed all 17 members of the CDC's independent vaccine advisory committee and replaced them with seven individuals, some of whom have publicly opposed vaccination.Medical groups contend that these actions are not grounded in science and place vulnerable populations at significant risk of preventable diseases. HHS has not yet commented on the lawsuit.Medical groups sue HHS, Kennedy over vaccine policy | ReutersThe Biden administration had extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Hondurans and Nicaraguans in 2023, citing lingering effects of Hurricane Mitch, political instability, and economic hardship. But on July 7, the Department of Homeland Security under President Donald Trump announced it will end those protections effective September 6, 2025, impacting roughly 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans. TPS offers deportation relief and work permits to migrants from countries experiencing crisis, but Trump officials argue the program has been overused.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said both countries have recovered significantly, referencing tourism, real estate, and energy developments. Critics, including Democrats and migrant advocates, say ending TPS will uproot people who have legally lived and worked in the U.S. for decades and may force them to return to dangerous or unstable conditions. The Honduran deputy foreign minister acknowledged the decision wasn't country-specific, but part of a broader rollback of TPS protections.Trump's administration has already targeted TPS designations for migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Cameroon. Legal battles continue over the policy's rollback: while the Supreme Court recently upheld ending TPS for Venezuelans, a federal judge blocked the termination for Haitians just last week.Trump to end deportation protections for thousands of Hondurans and Nicaraguans | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week focuses on Maryland's new 3% digital services tax, which took effect on July 1. I argue that while the state's goal of modernizing its tax base is understandable, the execution creates more problems than it solves. Rather than taxing consumption—the standard, more efficient route—Maryland is taxing business inputs like data hosting and web services. This approach violates basic tax principles, potentially stifling investment and driving up operational costs for firms doing business in the state.The administrative burden is uniquely complex. Vendors must determine how much of each service is used in Maryland, secure pre-approval for calculation methods, and issue separate certificates per transaction. No other state requires this, which leaves businesses with a costly choice: build a Maryland-specific tax compliance system, risk penalties, or exit the market entirely. The true burden, then, is not just the 3% rate, but the compliance infrastructure that must be created from scratch.Ultimately, the tax may hurt the very businesses Maryland is counting on for economic growth. Consumers may face higher prices, companies may route around the state, and the tax may collapse under its own administrative weight. I argue that the smarter path forward lies in multistate coordination, where shared definitions and harmonized rules could make enforcement more efficient and less distortionary. Without collaboration, Maryland risks substituting short-term revenue for long-term competitiveness. This is a public episode.

Summer is the heart of the baseball season. But recently the country's oldest professional sport has been going through some changes. It's not just the moves to speed up the pace of play. These days, along with training in the weight room or the bullpen, players are also spending time with their team's sports psychologist. KQED's health correspondent April Dembosky goes behind the scenes at the San Francisco Giants' ballpark to understand how the team keeps an athlete's mind in shape, both on and off the field. And we explore the history of the bacon-wrapped hot dog. Vendors selling the popular street food can be seen outside of most major gathering spots, from baseball games and concerts to tourist attractions like Pier 39.

Send us a textERP implementation has come a long way from the days of consultant armies and 15-to-1 service ratios—today, it's more about smart AI-human collaboration than brute-force deployment. As Jon Reed points out in his cloud ERP article, the real transformation isn't in the flashy go-live moment, but in the gradual, AI-assisted journey to measurable value—timelines that tend to shift depending on which vendor's pitch you're hearing. In this episode, Sam Gupta joins Jon in a live LinkedIn session to unpack that journey, exploring how modern, AI-ready ERPs subtly steer vendors, customers, and system integrators toward success—minus the traditional chaos, and without relying on ChatGPT to tell the story.In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Jon Reed, Diginomica in a live LinkedIn session as they take another look at the article and rewrite the script from the AI lenses (without using ChatGPT).Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down the latest growth rankings among the top 10 cloud providers, highlight Google Cloud's continued lead, and show how legacy giants like Oracle and SAP are rapidly transforming into cloud powerhouses.Highlights00:15 — I wanted to share with you the latest numbers for the Cloud Wars Growth Chart, where we take a look at the growth rates of the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies. Google Cloud holds on to the number one spot. But SAP and Oracle are breathing down Google Cloud's neck. Google Cloud grew in its most recent quarter by 28%, with revenue of $12.3 billion.00:51 — Tied for second place are these two so-called legacy companies. Both grew in their most recent quarters by 27%. SAP's cloud revenue is now $5.3 billion, Oracle's $6.7 billion. Next quarter, it is likely that Oracle could well be number one on this list. But that's all the future, and we will see how that goes.01:42 — In fourth place is Microsoft, 20% growth rate on $42.4 billion in revenue. ServiceNow grew 19% as it cracked $3 billion for the first time in a quarter. AWS, 17% — $29.3 billion. Similar to what we said about Microsoft: 17% growth rate on almost $30 billion in revenue is very impressive.03:00 — Workday, up almost 14%, to $2.1 billion. Salesforce at 8%, $9.8 billion. Snowflake, up 26% to $997 million. I'm not placing Snowflake within the regular run until its quarterly revenue exceeds $1 billion. It's extremely likely that next quarter, we'll see Snowflake take its place in the regular run of companies. IBM does not report its cloud revenue anymore. I hope IBM will change that policy.04:22 — It's fascinating to see a purely built-for-the-cloud company, Google Cloud, in the number one spot. And who's behind it? Two venerable companies — mostly still in the software business completely for SAP — but Oracle now, in addition to its fast-growing cloud software business, also has a hypergrowth cloud infrastructure business.

"We've got a real problem. And no easy fix."Accounting InfluencersWith Rob BrownThe accounting profession is undergoing a seismic shift—and not all of it bodes well for those who value independence, innovation, or client service. In this episode of Accounting Influencers, veteran tech strategist Randy Johnston, shareholder at K2 Enterprises, reveals the hard truths behind the changing operational and technological landscape of accounting firms. MORE Accounting Influencers with Rob Brown Johnston, who has advised thousands of firms across four decades, shares what he's hearing behind closed doors at events like AICPA ENGAGE. From AI hysteria to private equity overreach, the most alarming trend is clear: “We're seeing the erosion of what made accounting firms trusted advisors in the first place.”According to Johnston, the most disturbing trend is the hollowing out of accounting technology products. As private equity and public companies consolidate the market, product quality is dropping, support is slower, and innovation is stagnating.

Wazirpur is one of the 29 industrial areas spread across Delhi – NCR. The place is overrun with hundreds of small-scale factories which have attracted thousands of low-income migrant workers – usually from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal. Scattered among the factories are the jhuggis/ slums which these workers call home.  The recording is made one evening on a busy street in the Wazirpur Industrial Area. Vendors walk by, selling all sorts of things from clothes, slippers, utensils, cosmetics, old radios, meat, vegetables, and bangles. Most vendors have smalls mics or recorded tapes through which they advertise their prices. One such vendor is heard through a mic saying ‘Pyaaz das rupiya kilo' (Onions 10 rupees per kg), whose sound by the end gets mixed with its own organic delay.  Photo Credits – Jignesh Mistry.

Episode Info After a series of conferences where I saw some sales tactics that were having the opposite effect from what the person employing them would have wanted, I thought I'd use an episode to share some of the advice I give to companies I've advised over the years. It's informed by my direct experience having been an executive at insurance companies who got sold to, and running the sales function for a B2B SaaS insurtech solution provider. Hopefully this is valuable to anyone trying to sell into the insurance industry (and to those of us on the receiving end of those sales efforts!). Episode Summary This episode provides insights into effective sales and networking strategies for those selling to insurance companies. It challenges conventional sales tactics and emphasizes the importance of personalized and informed approaches. Key Points: Personalized Outreach: Avoid blanket approaches like mass emails or messages. Instead, invest time in understanding if the recipient is a genuine prospect. Tailor your messages to address specific needs and demonstrate genuine interest. Challenges with Conventional Tactics: Many sales playbooks advocate for reaching out to everyone, but this often leads to brand damage and wasted efforts. The video argues that the insurance industry requires a different approach due to its unique nature. Effective Networking: Utilize platforms like LinkedIn for meaningful connections rather than relying solely on event apps, which are often underutilized. Be mindful of social etiquette, such as not interrupting ongoing conversations or meetings. Building Relationships: Focus on being informed and culturally aware to foster genuine relationships. The goal is to reach a point where the prospect feels understood and sees you as a potential solution to their challenges. Practical Advice: Spend a few moments researching potential clients to ensure they are the right fit. Be upfront about your intentions to avoid wasting time on both sides. This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance book series (future-of-insurance.com) from Bryan Falchuk.

Erik Bloch, security operations expert and longtime infosec leader, joins the show to talk about the real problems plaguing SOCs and why the industry keeps missing the mark!George K and George A talk to Erik about:- The massive disconnect between what vendors think SOCs do vs. reality - spoiler alert: most founders have never worked in the trenches- Why we're still fighting the same problems from 20 years ago - false positives aren't even 10% of the actual work, so why do we keep obsessing over them?- The real burnout formula: high responsibility + low control + endless busywork that has nothing to do with catching bad guys- Business alignment that actually works: Stop talking about theoretical $48 bazillion losses and start tying security outcomes to actual business growthWhether you're a vendor or an executive leader, there's gold -- and data! -- in this episode. The "AI will solve everything" narrative is misleading, hear what actually works in security operations!------------

Please tune in to this episode of The Building BITE Podcast, as we hear from industry experts about key topics to help you be successful. The Building BITE hosts Chris Epps, LEED AP, and Mike Diercksen, CRIS, welcome back Josh Levy, Co-Founder and CEO of Document Crunch. We begin the episode by revisiting our previous discussion with Josh, highlighting what has changed for Document Crunch in the two plus years since our last conversation. Josh takes us through various examples of how he and his team have sought to adapt and enhance their technology to meet the needs of the market. One such way was the creation of their Tarriff Risk Assessment Tool, a timely innovation for today's market. Ultimately, Josh leaves our audience with three key takeaways from our conversation: 1. Wrap Your Head Around Your Tariff Risk: This is non-negotiable. Knowledge is power, and the quicker you and your firm can wrap your head around the current market factors, the better decisions you will be able to make. The firms that are quickest to adapt will be best positioned to make their way through this unique risk period. 2. AI is here to stay: AI is real and here to stay, but this is a two-way street. As a partner, make sure your vendors are not only providing AI to check a box, but real solutions for real problems. Vendors need active buy-in and field input to developing the best quality solutions. This partnership will be the bedrock of future innovation and success. 3. A Path Towards Zero Disputes: This is a recognized ,ambitious goal, but the path is clear to Josh. Technology and effective communication can transform our industry and move us towards a world with zero disputes. This is the driving force behind Document Crunch, and the impact he wishes to have on the Construction Industry at large. To learn more about how you can better prepare your firm for the opportunities ahead, listen to our full podcast episode with Josh on “AI, A Valuable Tool to Combat Market Disruption”.

In this episode of Benefits Influencer, host Dennis Carlson interviews Steve Santangelo, Chief Revenue Officer at Garner Health, about their unique approach to healthcare cost management through provider quality assessment. The conversation offers benefits brokers and consultants valuable insights into innovative solutions for addressing rising healthcare costs at a time when employers are seeking more effective alternatives to traditional health plans. ------------------------------------------------- Steve Santangelo brings his decade of carrier-side experience to explain how Garner Health uses data analytics to identify high-quality healthcare providers and incentivize employees to choose them, resulting in both better care and lower costs. The discussion explores: Key Takeaways: Provider Quality Focus: Garner Health analyzes physicians on over 500 metrics using data representing 320 million patients to identify high-performing providers. Their approach connects patients to top doctors within existing networks, finding that higher quality care typically costs less, delivering average savings of 27% per healthcare episode. Market Transformation: We've reached a "tipping point" in healthcare where employers are actively seeking alternatives as costs become unsustainable. CFOs are now directly involved in benefits decisions, and previously "too disruptive" solutions like reference-based pricing are gaining traction as companies face higher healthcare cost increases. Broker Strategy: Successful benefits consultants need to develop multi-year strategies for clients rather than temporary solutions. Vendors should work closely with brokers throughout the client lifecycle, focusing on delivering promised results that help brokers demonstrate value when renewals arrive. The episode also covers insights on price transparency developments, how self-funded employers can leverage concentrated membership for direct contracting, and why brokers remain essential partners in implementing innovative healthcare solutions.

David Waldman returns, only to depart again. But that does not mean he can't sit down and talk awhile! Vendors are filing out of the 2025 Middle East Global Scam Expo today. This year's ScamSpo headliners were an impressive list of world-class scum suckers, though some might assert that they lack the gravitas of past douche nuggets. If you are collecting plutocrat trading cards, now is the time to pick up a Dina Powell. It will take Donald K. Trump the weekend to pack all of his gift bags, but he might not yet be able to show off his big beautiful Emolument 747. Meh, Donald has 3-11 more years to top that swag. Trump can hardly wait to get home and let Don Jr. try out his new bone saw. Tulsi Gabbard canned intelligence officials that she caught acting too intelligently, while She-Wolf of the DOJ, Pam Bondi, shall add humiliation to her toolbox of torture. If they run out of ideas, the 17 Mexican cartel members Trump brought into the US are certain to have some innovative suggestions. Team Trump is getting pretty good at disappearing people. RFK Jr. doesn't remember those hundreds of scientists that were in his department a moment ago. The DHS misplaced who knows how many people. The FAA is pretty certain that fewer than 3000 air traffic controllers are MIA, but definitely more than one. The ICC's chief prosecutor isn't even certain that he's still there anymore. The Gop TLDR bill is having a tough time, because folks keep giving out spoilers to them.  Republicans think they have a way to get around the filibuster… so do the Democrats. SCOTUS obviously can't outright deny birthright citizenship, so obviously they will need to get craftier.
