Chef Pfeiffer's initiatives include a fascinating integration of beekeeping and a synergistic partnership with a local chicken farm, defining a full-circle sustainability model. In this episode, we will explore Chef Pfeiffer's sustainability efforts, which emphasize bee conservation and highlight his innovative farm-to-table approach. His collaboration with a nearby chicken farm exemplifies his comprehensive vision: all kitchen scraps and waste are repurposed as feed for the chickens, which in turn supply fresh, high-quality eggs to his kitchen. This process not only minimizes waste but also ensures the quality of his culinary creations by using the freshest possible ingredients. Additionally, we'll discuss his beliefs around hospitality, which for him goes far beyond mere food service. His approach involves creating unique and memorable experiences where every detail is considered—from how ingredients are sourced to how guests engage with their food. This holistic view of hospitality aims to create lasting impressions by making guests feel genuinely valued and connected to the entire food journey, sparking intrigue and curiosity in his innovative farm-to-table approach. Join us to learn about Chef Pfeiffer's innovative methods and his unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship and community engagement. Discover how he seamlessly blends his roles as a chef and a beekeeper with his passion for crafting unique dining experiences that respect nature and the consumer. Tune in and be inspired by Chef Pfeiffer's journey, which not only pushes the boundaries of traditional culinary roles but also redefines what it means to be a chef in today's environmentally-conscious world, positively impacting our planet. P.S. He recently won the IACC Innovation Award for his Beekeeping and sustainability practices. Join the Eating at a Meeting Community Connect with Tracy at tracy@thrivemeetings.com

Stefan's projects seamlessly blend agriculture, hospitality, and urban farming, creating unique environmental and economic synergies that exemplify the potential of thoughtful development.Circular's flagship project, Livingston Farm, is an 80-room agritourism resort built on a reimagined dairy farm in Sullivan County, New York. This resort integrates farm-to-table dining with a sustainable living experience, offering guests a direct connection to nature. Stefan explains, “We're transforming this former dairy farm into a thriving hub of regenerative agriculture, where visitors can experience first-hand the benefits of a climate-positive food system.”In addition to the farm, Circular is developing Wren of the Woods, a restaurant in Armonk, New York, which showcases the same commitment to sustainability. The restaurant will serve as a culinary beacon, emphasizing locally sourced and responsibly prepared food. “Our goal with Wren of the Woods is to create a LEED-certified space that not only delights diners but also educates them about the importance of regenerative agriculture,” Stefan says.Circular's third project is an innovative urban gourmet mushroom farm in Harlem, New York. This farm upcycles organic waste from their restaurants and other sources to produce high-quality mushrooms. Stefan elaborates, “By integrating waste products into our urban farm, we are closing the loop on food production and contributing to a more sustainable urban environment.”Stefan's projects are interconnected, creating a holistic system where waste is minimized and resources are efficiently utilized. His work demonstrates how regenerative practices can be applied across different sectors to create lasting environmental and economic benefits. As Stefan aptly puts it, “We're not just building properties; we're building ecosystems that sustain themselves and the communities around them.”I invite you to listen to today's episode to learn more about Stefan's groundbreaking work and the impact Circular is making in the realm of sustainable development.tl;dr:1. Innovative Real Estate Projects: Stefan Martinovic is a real estate developer focused on sustainable and regenerative projects. His company, Circular, has three major projects in New York: an agritourism resort on an old dairy farm, a standalone restaurant down in the Hudson Valley, and an urban gourmet mushroom farm in Harlem.2. Agritourism Resort: The Livingston Farm project involves transforming a historic dairy farm into an 80-room regenerative agritourism resort. It integrates agriculture with hospitality, offering farm-to-table cuisine and accommodations that blend with the landscape. The resort aims to educate guests on sustainable practices and includes restoring the property's ecological health.3. Sustainable Dining: Circular's restaurant endeavors include a formal dining restaurant and a casual café on the resort property, plus an off-site restaurant called Wren of the Woods in the Hudson Valley. These establishments will feature locally sourced, responsibly prepared food, leveraging waste products in composting and other regenerative practices.4. Mushroom Farm and Waste Recycling: The mushroom farm in Harlem is designed to upcycle food waste from Circular's restaurants and other sources into a productive growth environment for organic mushrooms. This initiative highlights the company's commitment to sustainability and creating closed-loop systems.5. Raising Capital for Expansion: Stefan and his family have invested significant personal capital into these ventures. They are now seeking to broaden their investment pool through small change offerings, inviting community members and other investors to contribute. The goal is to complete land acquisition, obtain necessary permits, and move forward with construction and operation phases.These points summarize the core aspects of Stefan's innovative work in creating environmentally sustainable and economically synergetic real estate projects.How to Develop Thinking Outside the Box As a SuperpowerStefan Martinovic's superpower is his ability to think outside the box. This unique talent allows him to innovate and find creative solutions in the real estate development industry, particularly in integrating sustainability and technology.An example of Stefan's superpower in action is his work on a master plan development in northwest Baltimore. Faced with a heavily blighted area, Stefan and his team proposed bringing the nascent modular building industry to the city. This initiative created jobs paying a living wage and provided a new industry to the area while also delivering new housing supply to replace dilapidated structures. This innovative approach touched on almost every facet of urban development and has principles that carry through to his current projects.Tips for Developing the Superpower:* Embrace Naivete: Approach challenges with a beginner's mind, free from preconceived notions. This allows for more creative problem-solving.* Always Learn: Continuously seek new knowledge and perspectives to fuel innovative thinking.* Question Established Processes: Don't be afraid to challenge existing business processes and explore new ways to achieve goals.* Vet Crazy Ideas: Evaluate the viability of unconventional ideas, as they might provide novel solutions others haven't considered.By following Stefan Martinovic's example and advice, you can make thinking outside the box a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In this episode I had a chance to have a candid conversation with Charles Henderson. Charles is a global managing partner at IBM and also happens to be the head of the X-Force team. IBM recently released the X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report for 2024.While the report is delves into many different areas of Threat Intelligence, we concentrated on several key areas focused primarily on artificial intelligence:Pronounced increase in Identity attacksUnderstanding how more 'business-like' malicious actors are becomingUpcoming universal AI attack surfaceHow much do you think this will get wors? For example, I reached out to a couple of CISOs from some prominent local companies and one of their worries was and I quote, "Longer term I think we will have to worry about attackers trying to attack and leverage AI technologies that are being utilized by organizations."50% is the expected market share threshold likely to trigger attacks against AI platforms.Evolution of malware delivery mechanisms. AI's part in Business Email Compromise. Another area of concern when I polled my CISO contacts was AI's ability to, and I quote again, "Easier to perfect grammar and templates for phishing and other social engineering attempts.". How do you think companies like IBM can start helping people combat these types of attacks?)Thoughts on OpenAI's Sora and its potential impact on securityEpisode Charity:The Corewell Health's involvement in the Blue Envelope Suicide Prevention Program. The School Blue Envelope Suicide Prevention Program trains middle and high school faculty and staff so that every school employee—from teachers to coaches and bus drivers—would know how to respond to a student who may express thoughts of suicide. The “Blue Envelope” protocol for crisis management was developed internally to quickly activate patient safety responses by communicating the code words "Blue Envelope."Every person within a physician's office became proficient in how to respond at a moment's notice to a patient who may have thoughts of suicide. Through previous grant and foundation dollars, this program has been able to successfully train over 8,500 middle, high, and elementary school personnel across 156 schools within 53 different school districts. This training has resulted in over 2,000 interventions for students in crisis.Episode Sponsor:This episode is sponsored by IBM, who recently celebrated their 100th birthday! IBM is a computer solution company based out of Armonk, New York.
When it comes to selling, there is a lot more planning involved besides deciding where to go. Whether it's decluttering your home, working on deferred maintenance, or staging to sell, preparing a home for sale with nowhere to go isn't exactly a thrilling proposition for many. So this week, I'm joined by Armonk's Regional Manager of Houlihan Lawrence, Barry Graziano to address the question, “If I want to sell, where do I go?” Tune in this week as Barry and I dive deeper into the 2023 Westchester market, and what you can do right now to start the process if you want to take advantage of the incredible sale prices on your departure residence but are wondering where to go. Barry reflects on the changes he saw in inventory, some important aspects that everybody needs to think about when wondering where to go, and some options for sellers to start the process.

Happy Thursday everyone, this is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Thursday, July 28th, 2022. Whoopi Goldberg has made another whoopsie, and is back in the news, after comments she made about Turning Point USA, on this show called The View. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WhXg3GTn5OM - Play Video Well, when she said those things… Turning Point USA wasn’t exactly pleased with those comments, and as a result, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk said the group was considering legal action against the show. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-the-view-apologizes-for-wrongly-linking-neo-nazi-protestors-to-turning-point-usa?utm_campaign=64487 The View apologizes for wrongly linking neo-Nazi protestors to Turning Point USA That prompted this response from the view: https://rumble.com/v1dt5k9-july-27-2022.html - Play Video After TPUSA called out "The View" on Twitter for making openly and provably false statements, conservative politicians, commentators, and supporters defended the organization and got the hashtag #SUETHEVIEW trending. Human Events Daily host and Turning Point USA contributor Jack Posobiec called "The View's" actions "textbook" defamation. "I was standing outside when this incident happened," he added. "TPUSA attendees confronted the agitators." Tim Pool talked about this on his show: https://twitter.com/i/status/1552105148180217858 - Play Video https://thepostmillennial.com/biological-male-swimmer-lia-thomas-loses-bid-for-woman-of-the-year-to-female-fencer?utm_campaign=64487 Biological male swimmer Lia Thomas loses bid for 'Woman of the Year' to female fencer The NCAA has announced a biological woman as their choice to represent the Ivy League to compete for the "Woman of the Year" title over Lia Thomas, the transgender athlete who made headlines after leaving men's swimming to compete against women. Columbia University fencer, Sylvie Binder, will be the Ivy League's pick. The award is meant to honor women student-athletes who have "distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college career." Binder, a senior from Armonk, New York, won the NCAA Fencing Championship in 2019. Binder was selected over Thomas, whose eligibility was hotly contested as Thomas is biological male who identifies as a woman and began transition in 2019. Thomas swam for the men’s swim team representing the University of Pennsylvania for three seasons before transitioning to compete against female swimmers, breaking records and winning championships in the women's division. Riley Gaines, an SEC champion swimmer who competed against Thomas at the NCAA Championships, said the male nomination as "Woman of the Year" was "another slap in the face to women," adding that the NCAA has now "made this award worthless." The University of Pennsylvania nominated both Thomas and tennis player Iuliia Bryzgalova for NCAA Woman of the Year in July. The NCAA website states that a school may nominate two individuals for the award if one of the two nominees is a "student-athlete of color or international student-athlete." The announcement on Monday narrowed down the 577 students nominated to 151 female athletes. The Woman of the Year Selection Committee is set to select 10 nominees from each division and the top 30 will be announced in October, with the winner announced in January at the NCAA Convention in San Antonio. Moving on… Hey California! That’s a place that exists… California Democrats Move to Make State a 'Sanctuary' for Child Sex Change Surgery https://neonnettle.com/news/19709-california-democrats-move-to-make-state-a-sanctuary-for-child-sex-change-surgery "Woke" lawmakers have introduced a bill to create a safe haven for doctors to perform operations on kids to remove or alter their genitals.The bill was introduced by Democratic California State Sen. Scott Wiener.As Neon Nettle has previously reported, Wiener successfully campaigned to legalize "gay sex" with minors in the state. Weiner's latest bill would block courts from enforcing out-of-state court orders revoking custody for parents who allowed their children to get illegal sex changes.The measure would also weaken parental rights of those who aren’t supportive of sex changes for their kids, giving "woke" teachers and other officials more powers to put children through life-changing transgender treatments without the need for family approval or knowledge. The proposal comes as several states move to restrict “gender-affirming care,” for children, which includes socially transitioning, puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. Texas is treating these procedures as a form of child abuse under existing state laws, Alabama has banned the procedures for minors and Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is making an administration-wide push to ban child sex-change procedures.Wiener characterized the bill as an effort to grant legal protections to transgender minors and their parents, noting that the bill blocks California courts from enforcing out-of-state subpoenas for parents who break state laws banning child sex-change treatments. The legislation also makes the enforcement of out-of-state arrest warrants for violations of child sex-change bans the lowest law enforcement priority. A spokeswoman for parental rights group Family Watch International told the Daily Caller News Foundation how the law might work in practice. If a mother in Texas believes her daughter is actually a boy and seeks a double mastectomy for her, her doctor may alert the authorities that the child is at risk for permanently disfiguring surgery, she explained.If the mother flees to California with the child to get the surgery, California would currently be required to comply with court orders from Texas to have the child returned to the state, according to the spokeswoman. Wiener’s bill would block California courts from complying with Texas’s child custody orders when it comes to parents giving their children sex changes, she explained.

Let’s shift our eyes over seas now… https://dailycaller.com/2022/07/27/us-military-prep-war-pelosi-taiwan/ US Military To Prep For War If Pelosi Goes To Taiwan: REPORT The U.S. military is readying for possible conflict in the Pacific ahead of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s possible trip to Taiwan in August, according to The Associated Press. The Pentagon will escalate troop movements and security measures in the Pacific if Pelosi follows through with her planned Taiwan visit. China likely would not attack Pelosi’s plane directly, officials familiar with the matter told the AP, but senior officials worry that her presence could inflame existing tensions between the U.S. and China over Taiwan. Officials declined to provide specifics but said measures could include fighter jets, ships and surveillance equipment to create redundant shields around Pelosi. China threatened to impose a no-fly zone over Taiwan if Pelosi visits and has dispatched warplanes into Taiwan’s claimed air defense identification zone, CNN reported, as a possible countermeasure. Pelosi would be the highest-ranking elected official to visit Taiwan in a quarter century, according to the AP. While enhanced security is typical of any high-level official visit to a foreign country, the precautions would go beyond those taken for trips to less risky destinations. Tensions between the U.S. and China have escalated in recent months over conflict related to Taiwan, an independently-governed country that China perceives as part of the mainland. Milley said Sunday that the number of dangerous interceptions between U.S. and Chinese forces in the South Pacific has escalated in 2022, and China has used unusually strong language opposing the U.S. ahead of Pelosi’s possible visit, Financial Times reported Saturday, citing six people with direct knowledge of the warnings. China confirmed prior threats of possible military action should House Speaker Nancy Pelosi follow through on Monday. “If the US side insists on making the visit, the Chinese side will take firm and strong measures to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian said.

In exchange, Russia will send over Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan… Their deal sounds cooler. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that the United States made a "substantial" proposal to Russia to bring home wrongfully detained WNBA star Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan, who is also serving a prison sentence in Russia. CNN reported that the U.S. offered Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer nicknamed "The Merchant of Death," for the prisoner swap. A prisoner swap freed former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed from a Russian penal colony in April. Blinken added he would engage with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. It was the first public acknowledgement of a deal that could involve a prisoner swap or addressing the sanctions placed on the country after it invaded Ukraine. “My hope would be that in speaking to Foreign Minister Lavrov, I can advance the efforts to bring them home,” Blinken said. Blinken said President Joe Biden has been directly involved in the negotiations and he signed off on the offer to Moscow. This has been your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief.

Born in 1983, Christian Petroni grew up in an Italian family in Bronx, New York. He told Food Network in a 2018 interview that he spent "countless time in the kitchen learning to make Italian feasts" as a kid and he knew he wanted to be part of the restaurant industry from a young age. By 2013, Petroni had opened up the first of what would become five uber-successful restaurants in New York and Connecticut under the name Fortina, in the tiny but affluent hamlet of Armonk, New York. But prior to that, he had helmed several popular kitchens and partnered with three other New York chefs to open Cooked & Co., a restaurant in well-heeled Scarsdale, New York Christian Petroni is a burgeoning celebrity chef whom you probably know about even if you don't realize you do. That's because Petroni has been a presence on the Food Network for years. In 2016, he appeared as a judge on Chopped Junior. Petroni has also appeared as a judge on Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay, among other series. Additionally, he has competed on Chopped and Food Network Star, which he won in 2018. In this episode, Christian and I got into a bunch of different topics like old school 90's pop culture and we talked about Chef's culture, Chef's life. We also talked about what got him into the food industry and how he left the comfort zone of being a restaurateur and going out on his own and leaning into himself and trusting himself into the journey.

We met up with Yvan at Deccico's markets in Armonk, NY. Yvan De Baets is a founder and brewer at the famed brewery, Brasserie De La Senne, in Brussels. He is also a social worker and beer historian. Belgium has a long rich history when it comes to brewing and is also trend setter to the entire brewing industry. Yvan is extremely passionate about the beers he and fellow brewer, Bernard Leboucq produce. Together they brew beers they love while remaining uninfluenced by trends and profit. As a result they brew beers that are wonderfully bitter, low in alcohol and superior when it comes to quality. Many consumers in the brewing industry consider Brasserie De La Senne to be "some of the best beer in the world"."The beers of Brasserie de la Senne are produced by two passionate brewers from Brussels: Yvan De Baets and Bernard Leboucq. They work in a small brewery honouring the traditional ways of brewing beer: unfiltered, unpasteurized, free of any additives and using only the finest raw materials of the highest quality. Their dedication to un-compromised quality is definitely one of the outstanding characteristics of the brewery. The beers, with their complex flavour and well-distinguished personalities, are true beers of character, made in Brussels.""Brussels is the place where we were born and where we live. We love this city. We are very proud to have doubled its number of breweries, as, when we opened, the only other active brewery in Brussels was Cantillon. We brew in the Brussels Region, on 565 Chaussée de Gand, in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, since 22 December 2010. This date has also become the date of our anniversary brew, only brewed once a year – the Brussels Calling. We have designed our production facilities by carefully selecting the technologies in use. For some stages we have purposely opted for simpler technologies in order to preserve all the aromas of our beers. We take pride in being a local brewery; Brussels is our first market, followed by the rest of Belgium. We limit our exports, despite the success we have encountered abroad. We are, however, available in a dozen countries, with a leading presence in the United States, Italy and Japan."We hope at some point to follow up with Yvan at his brewery in Brussels for an "on the road" episode.

FORTRAN Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because by understanding the past, we're better prepared for the innovations of the future! Todays episode is on one of the oldest of the programming languages, FORTRAN - which has influenced most modern languages. We'll start this story with John Backus. This guy was smart. He went to med school and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He didn't like the plate that was left behind in his head. So he designed a new one. He then moved to New York and started to work on radios while attending Columbia for first a bachelor's degree and then a master's degree in math. That's when he ended up arriving at IBM. He walked in one day definitely not wearing the standard IBM suit - and when he said he was a grad student in math they took him upstairs, played a little stump the chump, and hired him on the spot. He had not idea what a programmer was. By 1954 he was a trusted enough resource that he was allowed to start working on a new team, to define a language that could provide a better alternative to writing code in icky assembly language. This was meant to boost sales of the IBM 704 mainframe by making it easier to hire and train new software programmers. That language became FORTRAN, an acronym for Formula Translation. The team was comprised of 10 geniuses. Lois Haibt, probably one of the younger on the team said of this phase: "No one was worried about seeming stupid or possessive of his or her code. We were all just learning together." She built the arithmetic expression analyzer and helped with the first FORTRAN manual, which was released in 1956. Roy Nutt was also on that team. He wrote an assembler for the IBM 704 and was responsible for the format command which managed data as it came in and out of FORTRAN programs. He went on to be a co-founder of Computer Science Corporation, or CSC with Fletcher Jones in 1959, landing a huge contract with Honeywell. CSC grew quickly and went public in the 60s. They continued to prosper until 2017 when they merged with HP Enteprirse services, which had just merged with Silicon Graphics. Today they have a pending merger with Cray. David Sayre was also on that team. He discovered the Sayre crystallography equation, and molter moved on to pioneer electron beam lithography and push the envelope of X-ray microscopy. Harlan Herrick on the team invented the DO and GO TO commands and ran the first working FORTRAN program. Cuthbert Herd was recruited from the Atomic Energy Commission and invented the concept of a general purpose computer. Frances Allen was a math teacher that joined up with the group to help pay off college debts. She would go on to teach Fortran and in 1989 became the first female IBM Fellow Emeritus. Robert Nelson was a cryptographer who handled a lot of the technical typing and designing some of the more sophisticated sections of the compiler. Irving Ziller designed the methods for loops and arrays. Peter Sheridan, aside from having a fantastic mustache, invented much of the compiler code used for decades after. Sheldon Best optimized the use of index registers, along with Richard Goldberg. As Backus would note in his seminal paper, the History Of FORTRAN I, II, and III, the release of FORTRAN in 1957 changed the economics of programming. While still scientific in nature, the appearance of the first true high-level language using the first real compiler meant you didn't write in machine or assembly, which was hard to teach, hard to program, and hard to debug. Instead, you'd write machine independent code that could perform complex mathematical expressions and once compiled it would run maybe 20% slower, but development was 5 times faster. IBM loved this because customers needed to buy faster computers. But customers had a limit for how much they could spend and the mainframes at the time had a limit for how much they could process. To quote Backus “To this day I believe that our emphasis on object program efficiency rather than on language design was basically correct.” Basically they spent more time making the compiler efficient than they spent developing the programming language itself. As with the Constitution of the United States, simplicity was key. Much of the programming language pieces were designed by Herrick, Ziller, and Backus. The first release of FORTRAN had 32 statements that did things that might sound similar today like PRINT, READ, FORMAT, CONTINUE, GO TO, ASSIGN and of course IF. This was before terminals and disk files so programs were punched into 80 column cards. The first 72 columns were converted into 12 36 bit words. 1-5 were labels for control statements like PRINT, FORMAT, ASSIGN or put a C in column 1 to comment out the code. Column 6 was boolean where a 1 told it a new statement was coming or a 0 continued the statement from the previous card. Columns 7 through 72 were the statement, which ignored whitespace, and the other columns were ignored. FORTRAN II came onto the scene very shortly thereafter in 1958 and the SUBROUTINE, FUNCTION, END, CALL, RETURN, and COMMON statements were added. COMMON was important because it gave us global variables. FORTRAN III came in 1958 as well but was only available for specific computers and never shipped. 1401 FORTRAN then came for the 1401 mainframe. The compiler ran from tape and kept the whole program in memory, allowing for faster runtime. FORTRAN IV came in the early 60s and brought us into the era of the System/360. Here, we got booleans, logical IF instead of that used in arithmetic, the LOGICAL data type, and then came one of the most important versions, FORTRAN 66 - which merged all those dialects from IV into not quite a new version. Here, ANSI, or the American National Standards Institute stepped in and started to standardize. We sill use DO for loops, and every language has its own end of file statement, commenting structures, and logical IFs. Once things get standardized, they move slower. Especially where compiler theory is concerned. Dialects had emerged but FORTRAN 66 stayed put for 11 years. In 1968, the authors of BASIC were already calling FORTRAN old fashioned. A new version was started in 66 but wasn't completed until 1977 and formally approved in 1978. Here, we got END IF statements, the ever so important ELSE, with new types of I/O we also got OPEN and CLOSE, and persistent variable controls with SAVE. The Department of Defense also insisted on lexical comparison strings. And we actually removed things, which these days we call DEPRECATE. 77 also gave us new error handling methods, and programmatic ways to manage really big programs (because over the last 15 years some had grown pretty substantial in size). The next update took even longer. While FORTRAN 90 was released in 1991, we learned some FORTRAN 77 in classes at the University of Georgia. Fortran 90 changed the capitalization so you weren't yelling at people and added recursion, pointers, developer-controlled data types, object code for parallelization, better argument passing, 31 character identifiers, CASE, WHERE, and SELeCT statements, operator overloading, inline commenting, modules, POINTERs (however Ken Thompson felt about those didn't matter ‘cause he had long hair and a beard), dynamic memory allocation (malloc errors woohoo), END DO statements for loop terminations, and much more. They also deprecated arithmetic IF statements, PAUSE statements, branching END IF, the ASSIGN statement, statement functions, and a few others. Fortran 95 was a small revision, adding FORALL and ELEMENTAL procedures, as well as NULL pointers. But FORTRAN was not on the minds of many outside of the scientific communities. 1995 is an important year in computing. Mainframes hadn't been a thing for awhile. The Mac languished in the clone era just as Windows 95 had brought Microsoft to a place of parity with the Mac OS. The web was just starting to pop. The browser wars between Netscape and Microsoft were starting to heat up. C++ turned 10 years old. We got Voice over IP, HTML 2.0, PHP, Perl 5, the ATX mother board, Windows NT, the Opera browser, the card format, CD readers that cost less than a grand, the Pentium Pro, Java, JavaScript, SSL, the breakup of AT&T, IBM's DEEP BLUE, WebTV, Palm Pilot, CPAN, Classmates.com, the first Wiki, Cygwin, the Jazz drive, Firewire, Ruby, and NumPy kickstarted the modern machine learning era. Oh and Craigslist, Yahoo!, eBay, and Amazon.com. Audible was also established that year but they weren't owned by Amazon just yet. Even at IBM, they were buys buying Lotus and trying to figure out how they were going to beat Kasparov with Deep Blue. Hackers came out that year, and they were probably also trying to change their passwords from god. With all of this rapid innovation popping in a single year it's no wonder there was a backlash as can be seen in The Net, with Sandra Bullock, also from 1995. And as though they needed even more of a kick that this mainframe stuff was donezo, Konrad Zuse passed away in 1995. I was still in IT at the university watching all of this. Sometimes I wonder if it's good or bad that I wasn't 2 or 3 years older… Point of all of this is that many didn't notice when Fortran continued on becoming more of a niche language. At this point, programming wasn't just for math. Fortran 2003 brought object oriented enhancements, polymorphism, and interoperability with C. Fortran 2008 came and then Fortran 2018. Yes, you can still find good jobs in Fortran. Or COBOL for that matter. Fortran leaves behind a legacy (and a lot of legacy code) that established many of the control statements and structures we use today. Much as Grace Hopper pioneered the idea of a compiler, FORTRAN really took that concept and put it to the masses, or at least the masses of programmers of the day. John Backus and that team of 10 programmers increased the productivity of people who wrote programs by 20 fold in just a few years. These types of productivity gains are rare. You have the assembly line, the gutenberg press, the cotton gin, the spinning Jenny, the watt steam engine, and really because of the derivative works that resulted from all that compiled code from all those mainframes and since, you can credit that young, diverse, and brilliant team at IBM for kickstarting the golden age of the mainframe. Imagine if you will, Backus walks into IBM and they said “sorry, we don't have any headcount on our team.” You always make room for brilliant humans. Grace Hopper's dream would have resulted in COBOL, but without the might of IBM behind it, we might still be writing apps in machine language. Backus didn't fit in with the corporate culture at IBM. He rarely wore suits in an era where suit makers in Armonk were probably doing as well as senior management. They took a chance on a brilliant person. And they assembled a diverse team of brilliant people who weren't territorial or possessive, a team who authentically just wanted to learn. And sometimes that kind of a team lucks up and change sthe world. Who do you want to take a chance on? Mull over that until the next episode.

Greetings, Summit Leaders. What joy awaits those who find themselves being a part of something new! Can you recall a time when you experienced something new that just filled you with awe, excitement, and wonder? The best days of our lives are the ones we take time to notice, reflect and enjoy the new things that are occurring before us and around us. I understand in my heart; "I am doing something new. Now it springs forth. Do you not see it and will you not be part of it?" Last week, I met a great new group of IBM Summit Leaders at the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Center for Learning in Armonk, NY. Their orientation occurred on the first day of spring! I could not help marveling at the timing of the new thing that is blossoming in IBM and all the people who are a part of the emergence of something higher than ever.

Executives at ascendant tech titans like Amazon and Google tend to look down on their predecessor IBM. The fading giant of Armonk, New York, once sustained itself inventing and selling cutting-edge technology, but now leans heavily on consulting. Renting out people to help other companies with tech projects is a messier and less scalable business than selling computing power on a distant cloud server, and leaving the customer to do the grunt work.

Susan Blum, MD, MPH. Dr. Susan Blum has been treating, healing and preventing chronic diseases for nearly two decades. Her passion and dedication for identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness through the groundbreaking whole body approach known as Functional Medicine, is helping to transform our healthcare system. As the Founder and Director of Blum Center for Health in Rye Brook, New York, Dr. Blum’s crusade for personalized medicine is paramount for treatment and prevention. Dr. Blum’s mission for Blum Center for Health is to facilitate a personalized healing experience by creating a partnership with her patients while providing cutting-edge Functional Medicine and teaching self-care skills for changing health habits. Through Dr. Blum’s medical practice, education efforts, writing, research, and advocacy, she empowers her patients to stop covering up symptoms in order to actually treat the underlying causes of illness, thereby combating—and most often curing—the chronic-disease epidemic. Blum Center for Health focuses on the comprehensive integration of Functional Medicine, Mind-Body Medicine, and Nutritional Medicine. Dr. Blum is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and is a member of the Medical Advisory Board for The Dr. Oz Show. She has appeared on Fox 5 News, ABC Eyewitness News, and is regularly quoted in Real Simple, Harper’s Bazaar, Redbook.

In her first book, The Immune System Recovery Plan, (April 2013) Dr. Blum offers her proven four-step program, which she has used to help thousands of patients reverse their symptoms and prevent future illness. The Immune System Recovery Plan is a groundbreaking, revolutionary program that shows how anyone can cure the causes of autoimmune disease, strengthen their immune systems, and bolster their overall health. Dr. Blum lives in Armonk, NY with her husband and three sons and loves to begin her day with a hike in the mountains or a morning walk on her quiet country road. She completes her morning ritual with a 20-minute meditation and a green smoothie made with love from the contents of her garden. Dr. Blum also plans family meals in the summer based on the same homegrown vegetables. She loves experimenting in her kitchen with new recipes and with the power of herbs for their medicinal properties. She’s an expert skier and also plays golf regularly with her husband. On most evenings, Dr. Blum can be found at home drawing inspiration and support from many of the books she reads on spirituality and self-realization.
Tune in to this week's Beer Sessions Radio as host Jimmy Carbone and winter co-host Anne Becerra welcome Joe and Chris DeCicco of DeCicco Family Markets as well as Lars Dahlhaus, Eastern Sales Manager at Fentiman’s Inc, plus special guests from NYC's Fraunces Tavern. Anne Becerra is still shocked that she's been able to turn her love for craft beer into a career. She was the first female Certified Cicerone in New York City and has been at the helm of some of the best craft beer bars in Manhattan for the last seven years, most recently at The Blind Tiger, The Ginger Man and as Beer Director for Taproom 307. Anne is a beer writer for Serious Eats and Martha Stewart Living, and has been featured multiple times on NBC, Fox and Friends and CNN as well as contributed to TIME Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Wall Street Journal, Sirius XM, USA Today and more. She was the only speaker at both Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans and the Women’s Chef and Restaurateur Conference in NYC to represent the beer industry, and believes the best part about craft beer is sharing it. You can catch her teaching classes, judging beer competitions, hosting beer dinners and weekly tasting events, and curating beer pairings throughout the tri-state area. The three young scions of the family that founded the Westchester/Rockland DeCicco Markets dynasty—Joe and his cousins, brothers Chris and John—all share a passion for beer. The trio used the unglamorous fact that they were born into a supermarket family to launch themselves as heavy players in the local beer world. Look for the 10 DeCicco stores in Westchester and Rockland to carry between 400 and 1000+ beers each. Meanwhile, several of the DeCicco stores (Pelham, Harrison, Ardsley, Armonk, Cornwall, and Brewster) offer taps for growler fills. And two of the DeCicco Markets (Armonk and Brewster) actually offer craft-beer bars on the premises, which means that you can catch a buzz before doing your weekly shopping. The Armonk DeCicco is located next to Fortina and offers 28 taps for growler refills or for just hanging around drinking. Look for the DeCicco boys to collaborate with several local brewers including Sixpoint Brewery, Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, and Evil Twin Brewing. Also, look for DeCicco’s sponsorship at many local beer events, including Savor New York. Lars has a new company called "Liquid Projects" which incorporated in April of 2015. As the president of Schwelmer Beer Imports N.A., Lars has been importing the Craft Beers from his hometown as well as other Bavarian beers such as Lammsbrau, Miltenberger, Meckatzer and Eichbaum to name a few since 2003. From 2011 to 2014 Lars has been the Craft Beer Portfolio Manager at St. Killian, responsible for such renowned brands as Wuerzburger and again Lammsbrau. During his time there he launched and established Crabbie’s from the UK, 961 from Lebanon, Andechs and Rothaus from Germany. The burning desire to offer an innovative and cost-effective way to international producers is what started Liquid Projects. Lars has been a resident of Williamsburg, Brooklyn for 18 years.
Today’s show is about real estate and relocation. I live in Brooklyn, where people complain that they’re getting priced out. It’s not just Manhattan with its high prices, but also Brooklyn and even parts of Queens. So, hard working families are finding themselves at the crossroads, do they stay and squeeze themselves and their two and a half kids into a tiny apartment? Or do they venture a little further out to the suburbs? Today, the founder of Suburban Jungle Realty Group, Alison Bernstein joins us. The company, which launched in 2008 in New York City and has since expanded to other cities including Miami and LA, is a suburban relocation firm exclusively focused on buyers looking to leave their city for greener pastures, literally. She has been dubbed as the "suburban matchmaker for urban families." Families can work with a personal strategist and team of agents and locals for free of charge to help them find their dream home in the right location. Often, you might make a big move to a suburb only to discover it’s not exactly what you thought it would be like. The company was founded after Alison took on the daunting task herself of relocating out of Manhattan and found she was unable to pick a home that would suit her family in a nice town. It took them three moves before settling down in Armonk. Now, she’s committed to helping families and simplifying the process so that they don’t go through the same situation that she did.
