‘Is This How Layoffs Start?’ — How to Ease Your Employees’ Fears About AI
Entrepreneur Media LLC and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some products and services through the links below. Key Takeaways Write down the three things in your business that only a human should ever do, and say them to your team before you spend a dollar on software. Then hand the machine the tedium. Done right, AI isn't how the layoffs start; it's how the judgment work finally gets room to breathe. The best AI companies will not be the least human.
The Hidden Costs of Outsourcing Judgment to AI Suppliers
Since 9/11, the U.S. government has spent more than $7 trillion on private military contractors (PMCs), outsourcing core military functions at an unprecedented scale.1 At the height of the Afghanistan war, these contractors outnumbered American troops by a staggering three to one.2 Initially embraced as a pragmatic move to boost efficiency, control costs, and offset a shrinking military, this outsourcing soon spiraled into a costly and reputationally damaging quagmire—marked by legal battles,...
Intelligent Automation Failed. AI-Native Software Can’t Make the Same Mistakes
We tried to slot AI into old workflows — and it broke. Here’s how we build smarter from here. In the last decade, enterprise technology has poured billions into a dream: intelligent automation. We were told software bots would replace tedious workflows. That machine learning models would handle decisions. That AI would quietly power operations behind the scenes — cheaper, faster, and smarter. But something went wrong.
Good Friday's Answers to Wounded Church Members
I serve as a priest in an Anglican church in Dallas, and I have the privilege and responsibility of pastoring many people who have experienced pain at the hands of a church. Some in our congregation have been outright abused. Some have had their faith shaken by the fall of a leader. Some have been pushed out of congregations for asking legitimate questions.

tdsa: An R package for time‐dependent sensitivity analysis
1 INTRODUCTION Sensitivity analysis aims to quantify how changes to a mathematical model impact the predictions of that model. This can be important for quantifying the uncertainties of model predictions due to uncertainties in parameter estimates, for assisting with parameter estimation from data, or for identifying points of effective control or manipulation in managed systems (e.g. Caswell, 2000, 2001, 2019; Saltelli et al., 2008).

The Conceptual and Empirical Value of a Positive Lens: An Invitation to Organizational Scholars to Develop Novel Research Questions
This article articulates how a positive lens contributes to organizational studies by stimulating novel research questions to foster flourishing in individuals, teams, and organizations. We highlight how researchers have used a positive lens to transform the kinds of questions that are asked in three domains of organizational research: resources, learning, and ethics.
Storytelling as a Tool for Vicarious Learning among Air Medical Transport Crews
As organizations engage in knowledge-based work that is increasingly complex and dynamic in its execution (e.g., relying on globally dispersed teams, virtual work, and disruptive employment technologies), the need for employees to continually learn is ever more pressing (Noe, Clarke, and Klein, 2014).
Covid-19 has made clear why all physicians need to know about the business of healthcare

Preparing pharmacists to manage gene therapies
Abstract This commentary provides a background on gene therapy and identifies a critical gap in pharmacy practice education. The history and handling of gene therapy is contextualized with current pharmacy practice. With the increasing numbers of gene and cell-based therapies approaching the market, the need for appropriate training is greater than ever. There are few gene therapy training resources for pharmacists, and gene therapies require complex handing and administration.
Old Books Are Strange and Threatening. That’s Why We Should Read Them.
It all begins with the ancient poet Horace and a room full of undergraduates. Alan Jacobs and his Baylor University Honors Program class are reading the Roman poet’s Epistles, letters written as poems that Horace dispatched from his home in the country. In moving away from the bustle of Rome, Horace sought to acquire “a tranquil mind.” Rome was the center of everything, of course, and the place where the present, the concerns of the now, mattered most.

Sudden Cardiac Death in the Adolescent Athlete: History, Diagnosis, and Prevention
Abstract Sudden cardiac death in young athletes is a devastating condition that occurs without warning. While most middle and high school athletes require preparticipation screening, many predisposing conditions go undiagnosed until they occur. The frequency of sudden cardiac death is often under-reported because there is no mandatory system for reporting sports-related death in high school sports.

To Cope with Stress, Try Learning Something New
Stressed. Anxious. Exhausted. Drained. This is how many employees feel at work due to stressors like longer work hours, more-frequent hassles, the need to do more with fewer resources, and so on. Such work stress has been shown to induce anxiety and anger, unethical behavior, poor decision making, and chronic exhaustion and burnout — all of which impair personal and organizational performance. There are typically two ways people try to deal with this stress.

Betty Lou Gower Oliver (1925-1999) - Find A Grave...
As a young 20 year old bride, Betty Lou Oliver was the elevator operator of elevator #6 in the Empire State Building when Lt. Col. Willian F. Smith's B-25 hit the north side of the building between the 79th and 80th floor on July 28th, 1945. Seriously injured, she was put in an elevator for evacuation to medical help. Unbeknownst to everyone, the right engine of the plane smashed its way through an elevator door and went crashing down the elevator shaft, severing cables as it went.
17 Bizarre Stories From Behind The Scenes Of The Halloween Movies
Premiering in 1978, Halloween was a low-budget film that changed the world. Written and directed by novice filmmaker John Carpenter, featuring virtually no famous actors, and shot in the span of 20 days, the film somehow managed to revolutionize a genre and spawn a series of sequels that is still producing to this day. The Halloween movies have inspired a cult following, so what magic transpired behind the scenes to make these films?

Surgeons Are Using Social Media to Share and Learn New Skills
Learning from others’ experiences is an important aspect of professional development in surgery. Yet, as the field has grown – both in number of surgeons, and in their dispersion across countries – surgeons are less able to rely on casual hallway conversations and conferences to learn from each other and stay up-to-date with new techniques or practices. Enter social media. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms have emerged as powerful tools for keeping surgeons connected.

As the lead federal prosecutor in North Dakota, I am writing in an attempt to clarify some confusion regarding the state statute and how it relates to prosecution under federal law.First, the United States Attorney's Office in North Dakota does not prosecute individuals in federal court for possession or illegal use of drugs.

Christopher Myers: Happy as a lab
The world is in a crazy place; it always has been ever since Adam and Eve had to put clothes on. Self help and psycho analysis, introspection and shame — these are the run of the mill ambient noises we hear all day long, from newscasters to celebrities. They allow politically correct views to permeate our minds and hearts. These corrupting influences numb us to our joyful existence.
Christopher Myers: Exhaustion
I feel exhausted. Pooped out — and not even near the finishing line that signifies the end of so many financial encumbrances and legal issues that have bogged down and actually defined my circumstances for the past two years. It’s honest to be whipped and to admit it. One small tax victory still leaves the burdensome debts that helped me get through some of the tighter legal spots. “Am I making progress,” I ask myself. Yes. “How do things look compared to this time last year,” I ask.
Don Brown’s ‘Aaron and Alexander,’ and More

Women have risen to the top in Baltimore
What, if anything, about your leadership style can be attributed to being a woman? Brenda McKenzie, Baltimore Development Corporation, president & CEO: When I was in business school, ladies wore the suit with the bowties, ‘the poofs.’ I thought I’d have to get the Ferragamo flats and the ‘uniform.’ You guys know what I’m talking about [laughter]. Perry: I’m still wearing the uniform. McKenzie: But I worked for a woman who kind of broke the mold and totally owned her femininity.
Opinion | The Apartheid of Children’s Literature (Published 2014)
Of 3,200 children’s books published in 2013, just 93 were about black people, according to a study by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin. I’M talking with a boy. He’s at that age when the edges of the man he will become are just starting to press against his baby-round face. He’s got his first opinions and ideas and jokes, which are horrible, because there is nothing that boys his age love more than corny jokes.
