When regular contributor Emma Grace Brown sent me her article about avoiding burnout, I thought, “What perfect timing!” I’m currently on a hiatus from taekwondo because I am, in fact, burned out. There were many other life-related factors that led to my decision at the end of last year to take a few months off, which I may explore in a future blog post. For now, it’s the right thing for me, and I will return to what I love eventually. I’m going to take Emma’s words to heart and think about how I can approach my training differently when…

Monikka Spruyt spent years in corporate. Then, the training organization she worked for was being merged into another. She’d also just had her third baby. She saw it as a sign. Starting over in another corporate role wasn’t what she wanted. This was her moment to build something of her own. So she backed herself instead. She trained as a life coach, an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner, and a Reiki healer. She opened Connect Holistic Health — a business built around helping people untangle the noise in their minds and get more out of their lives. I get to…

Gillian Robertson is looking to make a statement at UFC Vegas 114. Robertson is set to take on Amanda Lemos in the co-main event in a pivotal fight at strawweight. The two were supposed to fight back in December, but on the day of the event, Lemos was pulled from the bout, and the UFC immediately got to work on rebooking the two. “If we want to look even further back, I was offered Yan in August, and they wanted me on the Vancouver card in October,” Robertson said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “Then, I got the Lucindo…

We’ve all been there: You eat something out of the ordinary and suddenly feel unusually bloated. You’re experiencing unusual stomach pain, and even your trips to the bathroom have become a bit out of your norm. But you brush it off, assuming that as much as you enjoy your meals, your body just isn’t digesting it well these days. But you never think to yourself: “Could my gut just be really inflamed from what I’ve been eating? According to Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, while the term “inflammation” gets thrown around a lot, few of us really understand what it means when…

The showcase that kicked off TurnBasedThursdayFest delivered plenty of major announcements, and among them was certainly the reveal of the new chapter of the excellent SRPG Those Who Rule. Eldin Turulja has officially revealed Those Who Rule 2 with the sequel heading to PC and currently listed with a release date that is still to be announced. The new project builds on the foundation of the first game, which launched on January 27, 2025, and shifts the series into what the developer describes as a gritty, Balkan-inspired fantasy setting centered on a fractured nation, political collapse, and the cost of…

The global economy is under a cloud of uncertainty. Trade disruptions, wars, aid retrenchment, and geopolitical realignment have forced governments and investors to reassess risk. Africa is often portrayed as the weakest link—too dependent on external financing, too exposed to shocks, and too fragile to adapt. That assumption deserves a second look.When the United States and other major donors slashed foreign aid last year, predictions of African economic catastrophe followed. Across much of the continent, however, economies have proved more resilient than the prevailing narratives suggest. Experts warned that Ethiopia, for instance, would be especially hard hit, but in early…

As part of our  ‘What does good look like in modern procure-to-pay execution series,’ we turn to intake and guided buying, which are where human intent meets system control. They determine how demand enters procure-to-pay workflows and how much effort is required to translate a business need into an executable transaction. As a result, they have an outsized impact on user adoption, compliance and downstream efficiency. Well-executed intake converts intent into the correct execution path with minimal user effort. Poor intake forces users to understand and navigate procurement’s structure to get work done.Historically, intake was designed to be explicit, not intelligent.  Early P2P systems assumed users needed structural guidance. Demand entry relied on predefined forms, templates and catalogs that forced users to supply…
