Podcasts about ACR

A recent article on ZDNet talks about how modern TVs monitor your viewing habits using ACR (automatic content recognition) and why that could be a problem for you. The article also explains how to disable ACR in various makes of TVS, but the instructions don't always match the TV's menu system. Scott Wilkinson talks about this important issue.

Col. Nichole Ayers is a trailblazing pilot, leader, and astronaut whose journey began at the United States Air Force Academy, where she graduated in 2011 with a degree in mathematics. An accomplished F-22 Raptor pilot, Ayers is one of the few women ever to fly the world's most advanced stealth fighter—and she's one of even fewer to command them in formation for combat training missions. Col. Ayers earned her wings through years of training and operational excellence, logging over 200 flight hours in combat and playing a critical role in advancing tactical aviation. Her exceptional performance led to her selection in 2021 by NASA as a member of Astronaut Group 23, an elite class of 10 chosen from among 12,000 applicants. As a NASA astronaut candidate, Col. Ayers completed intensive training at Johnson Space Center, which included spacewalk preparation, robotics, survival training, systems operations, and Russian language. Now qualified for spaceflight, she stands on the threshold of a new chapter that led her to the International Space Station. Throughout her career, Col. Ayers has exemplified the Academy's core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. Her journey from cadet to combat aviator to astronaut is a testament to resilience, determination, and a passion for pushing boundaries.   LEARN MORE ABOUT NICHOLE NASA Astronaut Nichole Ayers     ALL PAST LBL EPISODES  |  ALL LBLPN PRODUCTIONS AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR PODCAST PLATFORMS   TRANSCRIPT SPEAKERS Guest, Lt. Col. Nichole "Vapor" Ayers '11  |  Host, Lt. Col. (ret.) Naviere Walkewicz '99   NASA  00:00 Station, this is Houston. Are you ready for the event?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  00:05 Houston, Station, I'm ready for the event.   NASA Air Force Academy, this is Mission Control, Houston. Please call Station for a voice check.   Naviere Walkewicz  00:13 Station, this is Lt. Col. Naviere Walkewicz. How do you hear me?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  00:17 Hi, ma'am. I've got you loud and clear. Welcome to the International Space Station.   Naviere Walkewicz  00:20 Welcome to a special presentation of the US, Air Force Academy, Association and Foundation's, Long Blue Line Podcast Network. I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. I was honored recently to speak with a true pioneer, United States Air Force Academy graduate, accomplished fighter pilot, 2022 Young Alumni Excellence Award recipient and now NASA astronaut, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole “Vapor” Ayers, Class of 2011, Vapor joined us from the International Space Station orbiting about 250 miles above Earth. Her journey from Cadet to astronaut embodies the pursuit of excellence and the spirit of exploration that distinguishes the Long Blue Line. For this conversation Vapor and I explored what it means to be a human in the vastness of space, how one's perspective shifts when Earth shows up as a distant blue marble, and what her journey can tell us about courage, connection and the Future. Lieutenant Colonel Ayers, this is such an honor. So excited. Seeing Earth from space forever changes your perspective. How was the experience for you? And how has it changed the way you view your role as a leader?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  01:32 Yeah, you know, I think for everybody, the experience is slightly different. For me, seeing the earth from the Dragon window for the first time was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. And then seeing the Earth every day from the cupola and then the lab window that we have here, you know, you don't see country or state lines on the Earth, right? There's not like each state has a different solid color, right? There's just geography and just terrain. And so you get to learn the world all over again in terms of colors and textures and geography and water. You know, there's so much water on this earth, and it's hard to put it into perspective until you're actually looking at the Earth, and it's, it's something that has really hit me, because the Earth is so fragile. You know, we see these beautiful auroras, we see thunderstorms, we see different natural disasters, and it's really kind of made me want to take better care of this earth. And you know, when I get home, I want to just do things a little bit better and just take that extra step, to take my make my part in taking good care of this earth.   Naviere Walkewicz  02:38 That makes amazing sense. And, you know, I think it takes us to kind of your path to becoming an astronaut. Can you walk us through what that was like?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  02:47 Yeah, sure. So, you know, I was, I've been saying that I wanted to be an astronaut since I was little kid. And, you know, I always had an affinity for space and for the sky. And growing up in the Shuttle era, you know, as soon as I learned that you could fly the shuttle be the pilot. I was like, “Ooh, that's what I want to do.” And so, the very serious little Nichole set my goals really high and started working towards that path. And, you know, grew up right there in Colorado Springs, watched the Air Force Academy graduation, you know, and the Thunderbirds fly over every year. And it just kind of seemed like a natural path for me to go to the Air Force Academy, become a pilot and try to pursue the astronaut dream from the pilot's perspective. So you know, I worked really hard, set my goals really high, and never got bumped off that path and was able to apply and actually get selected. And now here I am talking to you from the International Space Station.   Naviere Walkewicz  03:36 And it's pretty incredible being able to see you weightless there, and you're here in its full glory. It's pretty amazing. Can you, talk about your time at the Air Force Academy? Specifically, what foundational experiences would you say have really kind of played a part with your life in space right now?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  03:54 Yeah you know, I think the Air Force Academy, for me, the biggest part was just being on teams. You know, I played volleyball there. And, you know, I would say every Squadron is its own little team. And you know, as a four degree, you're there with all of your classmates, and you're going through training sessions together. And so being on these teams in different environments, and some austere environments and high pressure situations, and learning how to take care of other people in those moments, I think, has been huge in my path to getting here. You know, those, all those words speak truth here on the International Space Station, you know, we're in an austere environment. Sometimes we're under pressure situations, and it's just a few of us up here working together with the ground to make this International Space Station stay in orbit, to execute all of the science and the maintenance and keep it running and continue to learn everything we possibly can, both about space and about Earth in order to inform how we do life on Earth and how we get to the moon and Mars.   Naviere Walkewicz  04:47 Thank you. So maybe, can you share with us what your daily routine aboard the ISS is like...   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  04:53 Yeah, you know, it's not unlike yours. Potentially. You know, our schedule is pretty set to the ground team figures out about, you know, what science and what maintenance needs to be done, and who's going to go do it. We are scheduled from about 7:30 in the morning to 7:30 in the evening, and we get, you know, two to two and a half hours of exercise time so that we can maintain our bone and muscle and cardiovascular health up here. And then when we're not working out, we're, like, I said, executing science. You know, I'm surrounded just here in this module, every single rack has some sort of payload or science experiment going on, so we just kind of follow the schedule. We work with the ground team to figure out where the things are that we need, and the procedures and all of that. But it's not unlike life on Earth...   Naviere Walkewicz  05:37 Maybe a little bit different. What's the biggest misconception people have about life on the ISS, you think? And what's something that surprised you while you're being there?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  05:48 Man, you know, I've been asked this question before. I'm not sure if I know the biggest misconception. You know, I think that often people kind of put astronauts up on a pedestal, but, you know, we're just humans who like to do, like the work that we do. We're really passionate about what we do. We're good teammates. So we're just normal humans, and it's not the most glamorous job, you know, we do, you know, often wear diapers, or we're working really hard, or things like that. So, you know, just normal humans up here. I think one of the things that surprised me the most, I'll see if I can do this without bumping the Astrobee off the wall here. But for me, it took my brain a while to, you know, get used to seeing people on the wall, or, you know, our treadmills on the wall, or seeing people upside down, and there's no up and down in space. And so it took a while for me to get used to that, and for my brain to kind of remap what I consider up, down, left and right in space. And you know that people are just floating, and we get a float every day, I can let go the mic and talk to you.   Naviere Walkewicz  06:46 So we have a lot of cadets and young officers that listen to us. What advice would you give them in the dream of following in your footsteps?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  06:56 Yeah, that's a great question. You know, I love to preach hard work and teamwork. You know, find something that you really enjoy doing. You know, NASA needs, I studied math, right? I'm a pilot, but we need doctors. We need scientists, we need engineers. So figure out what you really enjoy doing, work really hard at that thing, and then go find a team you can be on, and figure out how to take care of other people, and figure out how, how you mesh in this world, and how you can and thrive in these small environments or austere environments with other people. So I love to just say, you know, work hard, be a good teammate, and everything will work out in your favor. I think.   Naviere Walkewicz  07:30 Can you share if you've received any valuable insights or advice from other Air Force Academy grads who were astronauts?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  07:37 Oh, yeah, I think tons, is what I would say, you know, Eric Kjell, and specifically Nick and Roger, who just recently flew and came back, you know, I think that there's been a ton of advice just in terms of of how we do life here on the International Space Station and how, you know, we're going to continue to explore on the Moon and Mars, and how we can share our story, and how we can share all of the science that we're doing. But I think one of the most practical things that I got was from Nick during the handover, when we, we had a couple days up here together, and he said, “Don't forget, you're still squishy.” You know, we're surrounded by a bunch of metal up here. Nothing is very soft. And so if you, if you get moving too quick, or you get too confident, it's very easy to stub a toe or hit something. And so we're still just squishy humans. And you know, if you take that one step further metaphorically, I think, you know, we're still just humans, and we make mistakes, and that's okay, as long as you can bounce back, and as long as you're not going too fast when you hit a handrail too hard.   Naviere Walkewicz  08:31 Absolutely. Well, you talked a little bit about the austere environment. What do you hope your mission and your story inspiring the next generation of Academy grads, especially those who feel called to serve in bold and unconventional ways.   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  08:46 Yeah, you know, I think the bold and unconventional part really hits me, because, you know, growing up during the shuttle era, and then I was at the Air Force Academy when the last shuttle flight flew. And you know, as you grow up, you say you want to be an astronaut, people often say like, Wow, that's awesome. And then when you become an adult, sometimes you don't quite get the same response, you know, sometimes you get a laugh. And so, you know, I would say that even if people don't believe you, or they don't necessarily support what you want to do, if you've got a goal or a dream, just continue to, like I said, work hard at it, you know, put your nose to the grinder. Get really good at whatever it is that you want to go do, and don't let the naysayers get you. You know, there will always be someone there who thinks it's silly, but you will always find someone who supports you. My old commander, Robin, again, he was the one who supported me and got me here, and he said, “Are you silly?” Like, why would you ever think that's silly, or hesitate to tell me what you want to do? So, keep talking about your goals, keep working towards it. And yeah, like I said, maybe someday you could be up here with us.   Naviere Walkewicz  09:44 Absolutely bold and unconventional, for sure. And speaking of such space missions demand precision under pressure. Can you share a moment, whether in training or on the ISS where quick thinking and calm leadership made a difference for you?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  09:57 Yeah, definitely. I think that I.... Actually, a great example is our space walk that Anne McClain and I did about a month and a half ago. You know, right in the middle of the space walk, the priorities changed and the game plan changed. And if you were just an onlooker watching, sitting at home watching, you may not have even noticed that. And I think that's a huge testament to our ground team and our flight director, Deanna Trujillo, for the day, you know, her ability to lead that ground team and change the game plan on the fly, and then get those words up to us through some calm loss and some other hardships that we were working through, and then for us, for Anna and I, to work together, both just the two of us out outside the space station and the vacuum of space, but also us with the ground to make that all look very seamless. We're very proud of how that space walk went, and our ability to kind of change the plan on the fly, execute, come up with new ways of doing things, and figuring out how we're going to leave the station in a good state, and also achieve all those objectives. So think that was we're actually really proud of the way that we, you know, manage all of those changes, and hopefully to the onlooker like yourself. It looks seamless.   Naviere Walkewicz  11:04 Absolutely and it kind of talks a little bit to what you said earlier about, you know, seeing Earth from a different vantage point and wanting to protect it. I'd like to actually ask you more about that. So can you share, from your vantage point what you've observed about humanity and the resilience as you, as you look on it, from us, from our perspective here on Earth, and you being up there,   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  11:24 Yeah, you know, I think that one of the biggest things that, you know, I mentioned the natural disasters that we see and, you know, and I feel a sense of duty to photograph and to try to document the things that just humans endure on a daily basis. You know, I talked about thunderstorms or landslides, forest fires, all sorts of things. You know, we see it from such a different vantage point up here. And, you know, knowing that there are people down there who are trying to survive, and knowing that those people will survive, and that we have an entire community that's going to rally around those people in those instances. And you know, just trying to do our part from up here and give, you know, that unique vantage point and give as much data and as much help as we possibly can. I think that's one of the biggest things that our world does well, is, you know, helping each other when we're in need.   Naviere Walkewicz  12:09 And Lieutenant Colonel Ayres, maybe you can share what's been the impact of this mission on your sense of purpose, and how do you think it will shape your next chapter when you come back on Earth?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  12:22 This is a great question. I've done a lot of thinking about this, you know, you know, finally achieving your childhood dream. What's next? You know, what do you do next? And I think for me, the biggest thing that I want to continue to do is just inspire the next generation. You know, all those little kids who say they want to be astronauts, and then they get laughed at as adults. You know, I think that's it's so important to just foster that curiosity and foster that sense of exploration. And really, you know, encourage the next generation to go do what they're passionate about, because we will always need someone in that niche thing that you're passionate about. And so helping people get there is, is really what I want to do next. And, you know, helping the next youth get to their dreams and their goals and continue to just build this society that continues to explore and as you know, especially as we go to the moon and onto Mars and we commercialize low earth orbit, I think there's so much that we can do. And it's I feel, again, a sense of duty to help the next generation do that?   Naviere Walkewicz  13:21 Well, we talk about the next generation and the long blue line being enduring. Is there anything else you'd want to share with Air Force Academy grads in general?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  13:30 Yeah, you know, I think it might be a dead horse that I'm beating at this point, but the teamwork is so important. You know, just, just take care of the people around you. Make sure that you're always looking out for each other. You know, the long blue line is a very special thing to be a part of. And, you know, like yourself, you know, I met you a couple years ago, and it feels like I could just go, you know, hang out with you, have dinner, and we could pick up like old friends. And that's what the long blue line is all about. You know, having friends all over the world who can help you. You know, I got to hang out with Nick Hague in space, another member of the long blue line who told me I was going to be squishy. You know, things like that are just the unique moments that we have as Academy grads. You know, there's always going to be someone there who supports you and who loves you and who wants to see you be successful,   Naviere Walkewicz  14:15 Wonderful. Thank you so much for this time. There's probably so many more questions we could ask you, but I think the biggest one is just, you know, we would leave you with it's such an honor and a privilege to see you out there. We're proud of everything that you're doing, and we can't wait to see more of what you're able to accomplish while you're in space and when you come back.   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  14:34 Thank you so much. Like I said, so excited to talk to you today and to just share the experience and also, you know, have a have an influence on the AOG. I'm excited that the AOG is interested in space and interested in all of us who are out here. You know, again, the Long Blue Line is a really cherished and unique group to be a part of. So honored and proud to be a part of that group, and excited that I got to share a little bit of what we do up here with you guys today.   Naviere Walkewicz  15:02 Thank you so much for the time. Naviere Walkewicz  Well, before I close, I'd like to share what happened after the podcast. My cell phone rang, and I had a call from government, and I said, “Who could be calling me?” Well, I answered, and wouldn't you know 250 miles above the Earth, Vapor Ayers was calling me on my cell phone just to say what an amazing conversation we had. What technology we have, that she sounded like she was next door. It was an incredible opportunity for us to talk a little bit more about the podcast and highlight what you might hear in an upcoming Checkpoints article. So for now, I'll sign off. I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. Thank you for listening. This has been a special presentation of the US, Air Force Academy, Association and Foundation's Long Blue Line Podcast Network.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: ATOS 17:24-32 Plano De Leitura Anual: SALMOS 35–36; ATOS 25  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  Visitei recentemente a cidade de Atenas, na Grécia. Caminhando pela antiga Ágora, o mercado onde os filósofos ensinavam e os atenienses adoravam, encontrei altares para Apolo e Zeus, todos à sombra da Acrópole, onde um dia ficava a estátua de Atena. Podemos não nos curvar a Apolo ou Zeus hoje, mas a sociedade não é menos religiosa. O romancista David Foster Wallace exortou: “Todo mundo adora alguma coisa. Se você adora dinheiro e bens, nunca terá o suficiente. Se adora seu corpo e beleza você sempre se sentirá feio. Se adorar seu intelecto acabará se sentindo estúpido”. Nossa era secular tem seus próprios “deuses”, e eles não são bondosos. Paulo disse ao visitar a Ágora: “vejo que em todos os aspectos vocês são muito religiosos” (ATOS 17:22). O apóstolo então descreveu o único Deus verdadeiro como o Criador de todos (vv.24-26) que deseja ser conhecido (v.27) e que se autorrevelou por meio da ressurreição de Jesus (v.31). Diferentemente de Apolo e Zeus, Deus não é feito por mãos humanas. Adorá-lo não nos arruinará; ao contrário, adorar o dinheiro, aparência ou inteligência, sim. O nosso “deus” é aquilo em que confiamos para nos dar propósito e segurança. Felizmente, quando todos os deuses terrenos falham conosco, o único Deus verdadeiro está pronto para ser encontrado (v.27).  Por: SHERIDAN VOYSEY

Si el Gran Premio de Austria dejó una estela de emoción y debate, de cara al próximo fin de semana, la Fórmula 1 se prepara para llegar a uno de sus escenarios más emblemáticos: Silverstone, cuna del campeonato, que además este año celebra el 75.º aniversario del primer GP puntuable de la historia, lo que le da un aire especial al evento y para lo que nos preparan en el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Austria nos deja buen sabor de boca y ganas de más. Y es que el fin de semana pasado nos gustó especialmente por la intensa lucha entre los McLaren y la estrategia maestra de Alonso, que volvió a brillar con una sola parada y movimientos muy inteligentes. Lo que no nos gustó nada fue la pobre imagen de Williams, con ambos coches abandonando, uno sin tomar la salida y el otro en la vuelta 17. Silverstone de aniversario. Se cumplen 75 años del primer Gran Premio (puntuable) disputado en la historia y, en honor a este aniversario, Pirelli ha lanzado una gorra de edición limitada y ha optado por compuestos más blandos (C2, C3 y C4), con lo que buscan – veremos si lo consiguen – una mayor variedad estratégica en carrera. Silverstone, con sus 5,861 km y 18 curvas, es uno de los trazados más rápidos y exigentes del calendario. Se caracteriza por zonas de alta velocidad, como el complejo Maggots-Becketts-Chapel, y un clima inglés siempre cambiante que puede alterar cualquier previsión. A pesar de ser poco exigente con los frenos, el circuito premia el equilibrio aerodinámico y la valentía del piloto. Es un circuito de los que más gustan a los aficionados y suele dar unas excelentes carreras. En cuanto a las previsiones, todo apunta a una carrera emocionante, con incertidumbre meteorológica y muchos equipos en forma. Y eso nos encanta a estas alturas de la temporada. WRC: Tänak firma una obra maestra en un Acrópolis demoledor. Por otro lado, el Rally Acrópolis volvió a hacer honor a su fama de ser uno de los más duros del calendario. Este año no fue la excepción: los problemas mecánicos y los pinchazos (qué mala impresión de los Hankook), marcaron la pauta de una prueba, como siempre, muy exigente. Eso sí, el rally tuvo un rey incontestable, que fue Tanak, quien nos dejó la mejor de las impresiones, batiendo de largo a Ogier y dando, por fin, la primera victoria esta temporada para Hyundai. Esperemos que esto los aliente para no irse del Mundial. Lo que nos espera este fin de semana. Hablando de Fórmula 1, volvemos a un fin de semana con horario europeo y formato tradicional, donde tendremos entrenamientos libres el viernes a las 13:30h y a las 17:00h del viernes ya las 12:30h del sábado. La clasificación dará comienzo el sábado a las 16:00h y el domingo podremos disfrutar de la carrera a partir de las 16:00h. Si el fin de semana pasado fue brutal (las 36 últimas vueltas de la Nascar en Atlanta fueron de lo mejor que se ha visto en años), el horizonte del automovilismo se abre con otro fin de semana que no pinta nada mal con la F1 llegando a la meca de este deporte, Silverstone: tal y como están las cosas, carrerón a la vista en una pista mítica. Además, tenemos a la Indy en Mid-Ohio, un rutero: ¿qué más podemos pedir? Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Tu ton mi son es un libro-disco donde una gran familia artística de cantautores y músicos adaptan, interpretan y hacen volar poemas de Julio Santiago. Una selección de veinte temas entre los más de doscientos musicalizados en estos últimos treinta años, donde Julio ha estado al servicio de las Bellas Artes en sus respectivos campos de la Poesía y la Pintura. «Sus poemas y cuadros, al igual que su creador, no entienden de normas ni fronteras, sólo de belleza y libertad». Como bien dijo de él su amigo Luis Eduardo Aute. (M.P.B.) Con la colaboración de: Lucía Caramés, Javi Morán, Moncho Otero, Juanlu Mora, Alejandro Martínez, Isabel Ortega, Rafa Mora, Carlos Ávila, Juan Antonio Loro, Chico Herrera, Antonio Toledo, Manu Clavijo, Pedro Pedrosa, Antonio de Pinto, Marta de la Aldea, Bartolomé Marín Aznar (Lito), Rosa Arroyo, Iñaki Hernández y Alberto de Rodrigo. IMPULSO Al principio del todo fue el sonido del mar bailando con el viento. Luego llegó el pálpito de la creadora y posteriormente un latido propio. Así comenzó la música dentro de las entrañas de la Tierra y, como réplica, en el útero materno. A partir de ahí vino todo lo demás? Parece increíble que hayan pasado cincuenta eneros desde que me mostraron la luz por primera vez y treinta desde que comencé a parir hijos propios y ajenos. Debo decir que estos versos que me nacen no son otra cosa que la fórmula precisa de poder admirar, amar y gozar la Belleza. Son muchos aliados emocionales los que se han ido uniendo paulatina y sigilosamente, durante estas tres últimas décadas, a este proyecto de musicalizar y cantar aquello que dibujo, escribo, pinto, beso y sueño. Estoy profundamente abrumado y agradecido por tanto apoyo altruista e incondicional, ojalá pueda corresponder a cada cual como bien merece. «Tu/ ton/ mi/ son./ (¿Entiendes?)». Es un poema depilado, que hace veintiocho años dediqué, junto a muchos otros, a mi querida amiga Gloria Fuertes, la principal responsable de que me encuentre hoy aquí, en Madrid, dedicándome a «trabajar el aire», como bien hubiera dicho mi admirado y añorado Ángel González. Era muy adecuado trastocarlo y ponerlo como título de este trabajo. Tu ton mi son. Tu palabra sea mi música. Tu latido, mi voz. Julio Santiago Julio Santiago TU TON MI SON.

What are the latest trends in large-scale cyberattacks, and how can individuals help prevent them?Large-scale cyberattacks, especially Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), are growing in both scale and sophistication. One recent attack hit 7.3 Tbps, unleashing 37.4 TB of junk traffic in 45 seconds. These attacks often harness botnets made up of compromised Internet of Things (IoT) devices—like home routers or cameras—that have default credentials or unpatched software.How to help prevent this:Change default passwords on IoT devicesRegularly update firmwareDisable unused services (e.g., Telnet)Use firewalls and segment your networkHow do smart TVs and other smart devices compromise privacy, and what's being done?Smart devices like TVs and speakers often use Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to monitor what you're watching and send this data to manufacturers or advertisers—often without clear consent. This data fuels detailed user profiling and cross-device tracking.In response, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) now requires manufacturers to ensure transparency, secure data handling, and routine data deletion—or face enforcement. Consumers can protect themselves by disabling ACR (e.g., SyncPlus on Samsung, Live Plus on LG) and reviewing privacy settings.What are the current limitations of LLM-based AI in enterprise settings?A Salesforce-led study found that large language model (LLM) AI agents succeed at only 58% of basic CRM tasks and just 35% of multi-step ones. More concerning, they exhibit poor confidentiality awareness. Prompting helps slightly but often hurts task accuracy. Current benchmarks fail to assess sensitivity to confidential data, raising red flags for enterprise use without rigorous testing.What are the geopolitical implications of AI and cyber operations?AI and cyber tools are shaping geopolitical strategies. The U.S. accuses Chinese AI firm DeepSeek of aiding military intelligence and bypassing export controls. Chinese law further mandates data sharing with its government, raising global privacy concerns. Meanwhile, cyberattacks are weaponized to disrupt infrastructure and spread disinformation—as seen in Iran's state TV hijacking and a $90M crypto exchange hack.How do data brokers threaten personal safety, and what can you do?Data brokers compile and sell personal data—including home addresses—without vetting buyers. This can lead to stalking or worse, as shown in the murder of Rep. Melissa Hortman, allegedly found via a “people search” site.The U.S. lacks federal regulation, but California's "Delete Act" is a step forward. Until broader laws are in place, individuals must manually opt out of data broker sites or hire services to assist in removing their information.How are ransomware groups evolving?Groups like Qilin are getting more professional. Their “Call a Lawyer” service gives affiliates legal guidance to classify stolen data, assess damages, and negotiate ransoms more effectively—maximizing economic pressure on victims. It's a troubling move toward organized, businesslike cybercrime.Why is ACR in smart TVs a privacy issue?ACR continuously scans all video content viewed on your TV—even from HDMI devices—and sends data to third parties. It enables:Tracking without consentData monetization for targeted adsCross-device profilingPotential security risks from unmaintained TV firmwareWhy should you secure IoT devices?Unpatched IoT devices can be infected and used in global botnet attacks. By securing your devices, you're not only protecting yourself but also helping reduce the scale of global cyber threats.

A pesar de que el fin de semana pasado no tuvimos Fórmula, pudimos disfrutar, y mucho, del deporte del motor. Excelente carrera de la Indy en Road America, con una victoria hiper-trabajada de Palou. Y, si nos quedábamos con ganas de más, teníamos MotoGP, que también nos dio dos carreras (la sprint del sábado y la larga del domingo) que nos volvieron locos por su acción en pista. Pero en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca hablar de coches, de los que vimos en Wisconsin y de los que veremos en Austria y en Grecia el próximo fin de semana. Qué podemos esperar en Austria. La Fórmula 1 regresa a Europa en Austria, en el Red Bull Ring, un trazado rápido, técnico y de corta duración, en el que la estrategia de neumáticos y la climatología serán factores determinantes. Se espera una carrera competitiva en un circuito que, pese a su sencillez aparente, exige precisión milimétrica. Y que nos encanta por sus cambios de elevación. Este año, por otra parte, volvemos al formato tradicional en Austria, que había visto sus últimas carreras disputarse con el formato sprint. Así, tendremos entrenamientos libres el viernes a las 13:30h y a las 17:00h; así como el sábado a las 12:30h. También el sábado podremos disfrutar de una siempre entretenida clasificación en Spielberg, a las 16:00h. El domingo, la carrera dará comienzo a las 15:00h. Road America: Palou vuelve a la victoria. El pasado fin de semana, en la Indycar, Álex Palou volvió a demostrar su clase imponiéndose en una carrera caótica y estratégica, sumando su sexta victoria en nueve pruebas y consolidándose como líder indiscutible del campeonato 2025. Road América es uno de nuestros circuitos favoritos, por la belleza del entorno, pero también por lo exigente. Palou partía segundo con neumáticos duros, y cayó al séptimo lugar en la primera vuelta, pero supo mantener la calma y avanzar con inteligencia. Aprovechó errores y accidentes de rivales como Kirkwood, Power, McLaughlin o Newgarden, para escalar posiciones y situarse en cabeza entre quienes seguían la estrategia convencional. La carrera vio un montón de ‘caution’, que hicieron que muchos pilotos tuvieran que cambiar la estrategia inicial escogida por sus equipos. Algunos, como Dixon o O’Ward, optaron por una estrategia alternativa que no acabó de funcionar. Otros, como Kirkwood o Lundgaard, intentaron alargar su permanencia en pista para evitar una cuarta parada. Palou, sin embargo, mantuvo su ritmo, ejecutó una estrategia impecable y supo adaptarse a las circunstancias con maestría. Bueno, en realidad, lo que lleva haciendo toda la temporada. El podio lo completaron Felix Rosenqvist, que logró su mejor resultado del año, y Santino Ferrucci, que remontó desde la 18ª posición, dedicó el podio a Marlyne Sexton, recientemente fallecida, y protagonizó una simpática escena con los aficionados, tras la carrera. Kirkwood y Armstrong cerraron el top 5. Dixon fue noveno tras liderar brevemente, mientras que el equipo Penske vivió una jornada desastrosa, con Power, McLaughlin y Newgarden lejos de los puestos de honor. O’Ward, por su parte, fue 17º y pierde terreno en la clasificación general. Con esta victoria, Palou lidera el campeonato con 93 puntos de ventaja sobre Kirkwood, seguido por Dixon y Rosenqvist. La próxima cita será en Mid-Ohio, dentro de dos semanas, donde Palou buscará acercarse aún más a un título que parece tener bien encaminado. WRC, en la nubes del Acrópolis. Llegamos este fin de semana, al Rally Acrópolis, una de las pruebas más duras (y más vistosas) del calendario WRC. Y vuelve con sus tramos polvorientos, técnicos y de alta exigencia mecánica. Las altas temperaturas y las pistas de tierra con grandes rocas suponen un desafío tanto para los pilotos como para las máquinas. La resistencia, saber cuidar - dentro de lo posible - del coche y la elección de neumáticos serán claves, en una prueba que pondrá a prueba tanto el temple de los favoritos como la fiabilidad de sus equipos. Así, con la Indy ofreciendo unos espectáculos soberbios, y con la F1 y el WRC listos para volver al ruedo, el verano automovilístico ya está aquí y promete no dar tregua.

Después de una semana de descanso y de haber hecho un viaje express a Canadá, la Fórmula 1 vuelve a Europa y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca prepararse para uno de los Grandes Premio más vistosos de la temporada: el de Austria en el precioso Red Bull Ring. Pero no sólo de Fórmula 1 vive el aficionado, así que habrá que hablar de otra cita importante el próximo fin de semana - el Acrópolis en el WRC - y de la increíble carrera en Road America, el pasado fin de semana. El Red Bull Ring y sus características únicas. El Gran Premio de Austria se celebra en el Red Bull Ring, un trazado conocido por lo corto de su trazado, sus pendientes y sus frecuentes cambios meteorológicos, factores que prometen emociones y desafíos técnicos. Después de tres años con formato Sprint, en 2025 se regresa al formato tradicional: dos sesiones de libres el viernes, una el sábado, clasificación por la tarde y carrera el domingo. Desde el punto de vista técnico, el circuito se caracteriza por su asfalto abrasivo, el bajo número de curvas (10) y un diseño que alterna fuertes aceleraciones con frenadas intensas, generando gran estrés térmico en los neumáticos. Por ello, Pirelli ha optado por los compuestos C3, C4 y C5, los mismos que el año pasado. El control del sobrecalentamiento, especialmente en el eje trasero, será clave. Además, la meteorología puede cambiar rápidamente debido a su ubicación en las montañas de Estiria. Diseños y estrategias. En términos de estrategia, el año pasado dominó la estrategia a dos paradas, y los compuestos medios y duros fueron los más utilizados, con escasa aparición de los blandos salvo para buscar la vuelta rápida. En cuanto al diseño del circuito, se divide en tres sectores diferenciados: el primero es una preciosa y espectacular subida con dos rectas, el segundo inicia con una frenada fuerte y desciende hasta la curva 7, y el tercero combina subidas y bajadas con curvas rápidas, lo que unido a las tres zonas DRS asegura acción constante. Desde el punto de vista mecánico, los frenos sufren una exigencia media según Brembo, similar a la del circuito de Budapest. Aun así, el sistema de frenado está sometido a cargas elevadísimas: hasta 177 kg de presión sobre el pedal, 62 toneladas acumuladas en toda la carrera y deceleraciones de hasta 5,5 G, especialmente en la curva 1. Comparado con MotoGP (que también corre aquí con una chicane añadida), las diferencias de frenado son abismales, destacando la precisión y eficiencia de los monoplazas. Con la vuelta de la máxima competeción a Europa, esperamos un fin de semana muy intenso, donde la estrategia, la climatología y el control de las gomas serán factores decisivos. La pista, corta pero técnica, puede ofrecer sorpresas, y con una parrilla tan ajustada como la actual, las predicciones son inciertas. ¿Volverá Verstappen a imponerse en su “jardín de casa” o veremos a algún equipo plantar cara en uno de los escenarios más espectaculares del Campeonato?

In this episode, we examine Behcet's Disease—a rare, multisystem inflammatory disorder that continues to challenge traditional frameworks of autoimmunity and vasculitis. Dr. Johannes Nowatzky joins us to discuss the disease's hallmark features, including recurrent mucocutaneous ulcers and ocular involvement, as well as its geographic distribution and genetic associations. We explore the diagnostic difficulties posed by its heterogeneous presentation and symptom overlap with other conditions, and the rationale behind individualized, often multidisciplinary treatment strategies. This conversation offers valuable insights into a condition that remains as enigmatic as it is clinically significant. 

Send us a textWelcome to Season 4! The Accelerators (Dr. Matt Spraker and Cameron Tharp, MPH, RT(T)) kick it off with a sequel to our prior podcast on the Advanced Practice Radiation Therapist (APRT) role. We host friends-of-the-show Drs. Join Luh and Marsha Haley, Radiation Oncologists who bring important past experiences and unique expertise to the discussion. We kick off by examining some articles from the Spring 2025 issue of ASRT's Radiation Therapist:Caldwell and Lee, Defining Advanced Practice Radiation Therapy at MDACCBurch et al., Advanced Practice Role in IGSRT for Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer TreatmentBeckert, Implementation of an APRT in Online Adaptive Radiation TherapyWe then explore "scope creep", a phrase used to describe mid-level healthcare provider encroachment on traditional physician roles. One example is the UPenn study comparing the interpretations of Radiology Assistants with physician residents. Don't miss the excellent YouTube review of this study by Physicians for Patient Protection. Join shares his experience with another example, California Assembly Bill (AB) 890.Later, Join shares some discussion about the APRT among ASRT and CARROS members at the ACR 2025 meeting.This leads to an open discussion of what APRTs should do -- versus could do -- in a radiation oncology clinic. As evidenced by Table 1 in Caldwell and Lee, the tasks are wide ranging, may replicate existing roles of US radiation therapists, and might make more sense in international markets than in the United States.We close by reviewing Marsha's letter to the IJROBP editor in response to an APRT role scoping review. Here are some other things we discussed in the episode.Physicians for Patient Protection WebsiteAMA successfully fights scope of practice expansions (2024)Patients at Risk Audio and Video PodcastCouncil of Affiliated Regional Radiation Oncology Societies (CARROS)Beckert et al., Impact of APRT for on-table adaptive radiotherapyShah et al., Radiation Oncology Workforce Analysis ReviewBook recommendation: Lower Ed by Tressie McMillan CottomPatients at Risk Video - Deficiencies in NP Education

Dr. Laura Plantinga joins us to discuss her recent work on the APPEAL study, which examines how lupus affects activities of daily living using patient-reported outcomes and validated measures such as IADLs, BADLs, SLAQ, and PROMIS. We explore her methodological approach, key findings, and implications for clinical practice—particularly how physicians can better support patients in managing functional limitations. Dr. Plantinga also shares insights on translating epidemiologic data into actionable strategies and maintaining scholarly productivity in academic medicine. 

In this episode, we explore a new approach to improving participation in lupus clinical trials by strengthening provider outreach and education. Our guest, Dr. Saira Sheikh of UNC Chapel Hill, discusses the TIMELY study, which focuses on involving healthcare providers and community health workers to better connect patients with trial opportunities. From roundtable discussions to changes in provider behavior, we highlight practical strategies that could improve how clinical trials are conducted.

Watch the Podcast Video on our YouTube Channel No business can operate with zero emissions, there's only so much you can reduce before you need to look at offsetting the remainder to truly achieve Net Zero. Carbon offsetting comes in many forms, but the ones people will be most familiar with include purchasing carbon credits for nature restoration projects and tree planting efforts. Historically, the voluntary carbon market has been troubled by project developers who haven't operated their carbon offsetting projects to the environmental and social standards expected by buyers. With the use of offsets on the rise, it's clear that there is a need for transparency and standardisation within these voluntary markets. In this episode Mel is joined by Tiffany Cheung, the Corporate Engagement Lead at AlliedOffsets, to explain what the voluntary carbon market is, how carbon credits work from purchase to retirement and what quality controls are in place to ensure they are reliable. You'll learn ●       Who are AlliedOffsets? ●       What is the voluntary carbon market? ●       What are carbon credits, and how do they work? ●       What quality controls are in place for carbon credits? ●       How will the voluntary carbon market affect future regulatory requirements? ●       What does it mean to retire a carbon credit? ●       What services do AlliedOffsets offer?   Resources ●       AlliedOffsets website ●       AlliedOffsets LinkedIn ●       Carbonology   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – Tiffany Cheung joins Mel to discuss the voluntary carbon market, explaining the carbon credit lifecycle and what quality controls are in place to ensure they are reliable. [01:40] Who are AlliedOffsets?: AlliedOffsets aggregates data from over 30 carbon registries and compliance schemes as well as off-registry transactions to present the most comprehensive dataset on carbon offsetting activity globally. Their data has been featured in publications such as the Financial Times, Forbes, The Guardian and many more. [03:20] How did Tiffany get involved in carbon markets?: Tiffany has been working with AlliedOffsets for over a year, and a lot of their role as Corporate Engagement Lead includes talking to a variety of stakeholders on the buying side of the carbon market, understanding what their motivations for being in the space are, what their strategies are going into the future and their wider decarbonisation process. Tiffany also looks at their transactional activity and how that has changed over time. Prior to their position at Allied Offsets, Tiffany worked in a major environmental advisory and brokerage firm based in London. There they gained a knowledge of both voluntary carbon markets as well as renewable energy markets in that space, this in addition to learning more about the accompanying compliance trading and risk side of things. [06:00] What is the carbon market?: Carbon markets describe markets where carbon is translated from a greenhouse gas into an asset, or a commodity that can be traded. These tend to represent actual tonnes of atmospheric carbon dioxide that have been sequestered somewhere else in the world through various projects. Compliance carbon markets work differently from voluntary carbon markets. Compliance carbon markets provide regulated ways of pricing carbon, both in terms of reducing emissions and generally making polluters aware of the environmental impact of their emissions in a financial way. They may be associated with the voluntary carbon market, also known as the VCM, or they may be referred to as a kind of carbon tax. [07:05] What's the difference between a voluntary carbon market and a non-voluntary carbon market? If you are engaging in the voluntary carbon market, there is no legislative impetus for you to be involved in it. It's mostly driven by a business' own desire to offset emissions. The offsetting of residual emissions is done through the purchase of carbon credits, which are representative of 1 tonne of CO2 equivalent removed from the atmosphere. If you offset all of your remaining emissions, then you may be able to claim carbon neutrality for the year that the credits apply to. The benefits of carbon credit-issuing projects aren't always related to solely greenhouse gas removal, and depending on a businesses motivations, you can help to fund a wide range of beneficial projects such as clean water provision or improved cook stoves which improve air quality in domestic settings. [09:25] What type of organisations are leading the way with carbon credit purchasing? – AlliedOffsets has unique access to the transaction history across 30 different global registries, enabling them to provide an up to date and wide ranging view on the voluntary carbon market. There is a very strong relationship between how polluting a sector is and how well engaged it is with the voluntary carbon markets. So major players include energy producers, aviation, maritime, ground transportation and mining and materials. There is also an increase in financial services, technology and telecommunications services entering the carbon market. Tiffany expects this trend to continue with increased data centre usage and artificial intelligence driving up energy consumption across these sectors. [11:10] How does the voluntary carbon market operate?: When a company first decides they want to buy carbon credits, ideally they would engage with a well-established broker or intermediary who can source a variety of carbon credits. It's helpful for the broker to know what sort of carbon credits or projects a company is looking to invest in. There's a lot of different options, including: ●       Forestry ●       Alternative land use ●       Blue Carbon ●       Engineered carbon dioxide removal The company will let the broker know how many tonnes of carbon credits they'd like to buy, attributed to a certain period of time or activity based on their quantification and existing carbon reporting. Market prices will range quite significantly based off of what technology type or methodology you're going with, but most carbon credits are currently sub $15. Once agreed, your intermediary will secure and retire the credits for you, from the registry and project developer. Retiring a carbon credit means they are taken entirely off the market and they're considered to be “spent” or used. Nobody else can use those as an investment or offset at that point, and the purchasing company can consider their carbon footprint to have been neutralised for the specified period. [12:00] What quality controls are in place for the voluntary carbon market? While there isn't a master registry, there are several registries across the world that generally dominate the market. They vary in terms of the methodologies that they may or may not specialise in, as well as with geographies. The biggest ones that you're most likely to see in the market are known as VCS, GS, ACR, and CAR. These account for about 80% of the total market volume by retirement and issuance. The way that these registries work is that they perform a bookkeeping function within the space. Projects will register their sequestered tonnes of CO2 removed with these registries, who will then check to see if these projects have complied with their methodology, which would have been set by a Standards Body. Once approved, those project developers can sell their credits as a commodity. When a business wants to buy credits, the type of projects they want to engage with will dictate the sort of registries they'll be engaging with. There are also checks in place set by the registries to ensure that project developers use third parties to further validate their project activities. [16:45] What are the methodologies used in the voluntary carbon market? A methodology refers to the way in which a specific project should be undertaken in order to ensure that the pace of carbon sequestration and storage is consistent throughout the project's life. Registries are ultimately responsible for issuing the appropriate methodology, and the project developers need to be able to evidence compliance to that methodology. The process for a project to be registered is quite complicated, and it generally takes 2 – 3 years from concept to being in a position to issue credits. There is also a requirement to have their work validated by a Verification and Validation Body (VVB). These are third party auditors who check the evidence provided by project developers to ensure they comply with the necessary methodology. This may include the VVBs undertaking a site visit. [19:30] Will regulatory requirements be introduced within the voluntary carbon market?  – Tiffany states that there is definitely a demand for regulatory requirements in the space. There a two key drivers for this: The need for integrity among buyers – There are many sectors where engaging in a more unregulated space can be risky. Sectors such as the legal and financial sectors need a certain level of oversight to ensure they are making sound investments. Convergence of compliance and voluntary markets – This is a change that's been happening over the past few years. This is being driven by governments taking part in the voluntary carbon market space and realising that they can yield returns for the country. Additionally, when they're spending public funds, there needs to be a certain level of assurance in the projects they're engaging with. There is also a growing appetite for businesses engaging in this market to ensure that they are doing the best thing possible ahead of the curve. There's been a lot of negative press around greenwashing projects, leading to potentially tarnished reputations, to the need for proper checks and regulation is becoming a necessity.  [22:45] What does it mean for a carbon credit to be retired? – The point at which a carbon credit is retired is when it has been taken totally out of circulation for the market. That means that no other broker, intermediary or end buyer would be able to use that credit in any kind of capacity. It's like having the receipt to say this person has purchased this product, it belongs to them now and nobody else can use it.   [24:30] How are stakeholders using the data provided by AlliedOffsets? – AlliedOffsets has a very wide data set, with an equally wide range of stakeholders. Some particularly interesting use cases include: Benchmarking against the competition – Corporate buyers use their data to compare how their activity measures up to competitors or peers within their sector due to AlliedOffsets long view of historic activity. It highlights what projects are being favoured by their competitors and what kind of price points they should be looking at as well. Project developer research - Another common use case is that project developers will want to see who is active in the market and who they should be targeting for funding. AlliedOffsets can see specific buyer activity broken down by region as well as methodology, which means project developers have a really good chance of being able to engage with buyers who are entering the space and might not have established those direct procurement relationships. Government consultation - Markets can be a huge source of income from the private sector into the public purse. For example, you might have a voluntary carbon market scheme that's associated with a compliance scheme, which can mean tax benefits for complying businesses alongside socio-environmental benefits for the country.

He discussed the current fishing conditions in the area, noting that the warm weather has kept the fishing in a late summer/early fall pattern, with anglers still finding good numbers of speckled trout and redfish feeding on shrimp. Captain Bobby explained that as the water temperatures start to drop with the upcoming cold front, the shrimp will begin to thin out and the fishing will transition, with anglers needing to switch to tactics like topwater lures, jigs, and soft plastics to target the trout and reds. He provided detailed tips on techniques like the "do nothing drift" for fishing deep river channels in the winter. The hosts also discussed the importance of boating safety and emergency preparedness, including the essential gear that should be kept in a well-stocked "ditch bag" on the boat. They were joined by ACR Electronics to talk about Ditch Bags and the importance of having one. Mikele D'Arcangelo with ACR provides expert advice on items like EPIRBs, PLBs, and other communication and signaling devices that can be critical in an emergency situation offshore.
