Cyber and Operational Risk in the Quantum Era: Financial Stability amid Escalating Geopolitical ConflictThis panel took place at the 2026 International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group Spring Meetings.Financial stability is under fire as geopolitics and cyber risk collide. As global tensions intensify and technological capabilities accelerate, financial institutions face a rapidly evolving threat landscape where cyber operations, financial crime, and state-sponsored actors are increasingly intertwined. From ransomware campaigns and sanctions evasion to sophisticated cyber intrusions targeting critical infrastructure, adversaries are exploiting digital systems and global financial networks in new and complex ways.As these threats continue to evolve, the quantum horizon introduces an additional layer of strategic risk. This executive panel will examine how advances in quantum computing could reshape cyber and operational risk across the financial sector, while also considering the growing convergence between cyber-enabled crime, ransomware payments, sanctions evasion, and global illicit finance networks. Leaders from policy, finance, and technology will explore the implications of quantum-enabled decryption, the expanding links between cyber threats and illicit finance, and the operational vulnerabilities that could undermine confidence in critical financial infrastructure.The discussion focused on how institutions and regulators can strengthen resilience, enhance cross-border coordination, and prepare for a future in which emerging technologies, cyber conflict, ransomware, and financial crime increasingly intersect. The panel explored what these developments mean for international efforts to combat cyber-enabled financial crime and how global standards bodies, national authorities, and financial institutions can strengthen cooperation to protect the integrity and resilience of the international financial system.Opening Remarks:Cindy Termorshuizen, Deputy Minister of International Development, Government of CanadaPanelists:Giles Thomson, Director, Economic Crime and Sanctions, His Majesty's Treasury; Incoming President, FATFStefan Ingves, Chair, Toronto Centre; Former Governor, Sveriges RiksbankMichele Mosca, Professor, Institute for Quantum Computing, University of WaterlooModerator:Jennifer Elliott, Assistant Director, Monetary and Capital Markets, IMF; Board Member, Toronto CentreWatch the executive panel session here.Read the transcript here.

Dr. Genee Francis is a licensed therapist and Assistant Director of Content and Programming for Windshaped Marriage — and after 18 years of marriage, two kids, a two-year estate battle, an unexpected hip replacement, and a decade in couples' counseling, she has a reframe for every couple who says they can't communicate: it's not a communication problem. It's an intimacy problem. In this conversation, Genee and Aaron talk through the prayer rhythm that gave her a window into her husband's grief when words failed him, why so many couples feel alone even inside a church, and what it actually takes to build the kind of community that sustains a marriage through hard seasons. If you've ever felt disconnected and didn't know what to call it — this one is for you.

Transforming a neighborhood starts with people who refuse to give up on it. In Episode 160 of Recovery On Air, Andrea Northup, Assistant Director of State & Community Relations and leader with 27 Collab, shares how a corridor once known as “the Blade” along 27th Avenue in Phoenix is being re‑imagined as a safe, walkable, thriving community. Andrea talks about how Grand Canyon University, churches, recovery programs, local businesses, residents, and city partners are working together around three core focuses: safety, restoration, and redevelopment. She also digs into the realities of homelessness, addiction, and sex trafficking in the area—and why recovery organizations must have a seat at the table for real, lasting change. If you care about recovery, community transformation, or faith in action, this episode will encourage you and challenge the way you see your own neighborhood.

This week on the Upstate Golf Guys Podcast, we are back with a new Golfweek Spotlight and we're joined by Mike Winters, Assistant Director of the Golfweek Amateur Tour, along with Brad Facteau, for a great conversation packed with tournament recaps, course strategy, and plenty of laughs. We kick things off by breaking down the two-day Major at Eagle Crest, where the course played every bit as long and difficult as advertised. We recap the weekend, discuss some of the biggest challenges players faced, and give a well-deserved shout-out to all of the flight winners for their outstanding performances. From there, we look ahead to the next Golfweek Amateur Tour stop at Hiland Golf Club in Queensbury, NY. Since Hiland is Mike and Brad's home course, they share insider knowledge on what players can expect. We go hole-by-hole, pointing out key landing areas, risk-versus-reward decisions, and where trouble is waiting. One thing became very clear—Hiland is not a course where you can just grip it and rip it. Water hazards, white stakes, and tight landing areas are everywhere, and they have a way of sneaking up on you if you're not paying attention. Accuracy off the tee is going to be the key to posting a good score. If you tend to slice the ball, you may want to leave the driver in the bag on a few holes! Whether you're playing this week's event or just enjoy hearing course strategy and tournament talk, this episode is full of valuable insight to help you prepare for one of the tougher tests on the schedule. we finished the episode off with a little Tiger talk and a few questions and answers to close out. Be sure to like, subscribe, and let us know your predictions for Hiland. We'll see everyone on the first tee! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fellowship App Hell, Strategic TV Directing Pitches, and Why Verticals Are the New Wild West On the Get Reelisms podcast, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen catch up on recent festival news and Christine's birthday, then dive into “fellowship app hell season,” comparing repeated lab applications and essay-writing to endlessly applying to colleges with no clear feedback. Christine shares she's applying to programs including Film Independent, Sundance Producing Lab, and WriteBack Rise, and discusses the demoralizing competition, lack of guarantees, and the need to budget time by stepping back from AD work to focus on directing and stronger applications. Adam explains reframing a Disney directing program pitch from choosing a favorite show to choosing a show that logically matches evidence in his portfolio and experience. They also recap a Scene Lab focused on verticals and discuss vertical video's growth, rising production value, democratized audience-driven discovery, and reduced gatekeeping compared to traditional Hollywood.    Hosts: Adam Rani (@adamthechase)  & Christine Chen (@cchenmtf)  About Christine W Chen: Christine W.

For additional information on this please visit Ohio EPA's website.**********ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE seems to be everywhere. Whether we're using a chatbot, saving files to the cloud, or asking Google a question, we're relying on infrastructure that's largely invisible to us: data centers. As demand for AI and cloud computing accelerates, so do questions about the resources needed to support this digital economy—resources like water!  We were very interested in bringing some light to this hot-button topic in this, our first virtual episode, featuring a panel of guests from Central Ohio, Virginia, and Washington D.C. Dr. Landon Marston is an Associate Professor at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and holds a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research group looks at how and where water is used within the economy as well as the environmental consequences associated with economic production and consumption.  John Newsome is Administrator of the Division of Water at Columbus Water and Power and has served with the city's Department of Public Utilities since 2006. We've asked John to give CWP's perspective on this emerging technology and water demands in Central Ohio, a national hub for data centers.  Also with CWP, Sarah Bloom Anderson serves as Assistant Director of Policy and shares some information from the wastewater side: what happens to the water used to cool the servers in data centers.  And Dr. Peter Grevatt is CEO of the Water Research Foundation, a nonprofit educational organization in Washington D.C. which funds and publishes research on the technology, operation, and management of drinking water, wastewater, water reuse, and stormwater systems. Peter discusses current research projects the WRF is supporting. Utility Perspectives on Data Center SurveyDr. Marston's team at Virginia Tech, in partnership with WRF and the American Water Works Association, is conducting a survey among water and wastewater utilities regarding data centers.

What happens after a railcar leaves your facility?For most of us, it's easy to think our responsibility ends once the paperwork is complete, the railcar is loaded, and it's released onto the track.But that's really where the journey begins.That railcar may travel hundreds of miles across the country, passing through neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and communities before reaching its destination. Every switch that's thrown, every inspection that's performed, every wheel that's checked, and every decision that's made at your facility contributes to the safety of everyone along that route.It's a responsibility the grain industry carries every single day.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training for GEAPS, sits down with two respected railroad professionals from Northern Plains Rail Companies—Steven Fry, Assistant Director of Safety, Training & Operating Practices, and Noel Christensen, Superintendent of Training & Operating Practices. Together, they bring more than seven decades of railroad experience to an engaging conversation about the critical role grain facilities play in rail safety.Rather than focusing solely on regulations, this discussion explores the why behind rail safety. You'll hear why routine track inspections matter, what effective track protection really means, where facilities most commonly fall short, and how strong operating practices can prevent incidents before they happen.The conversation also examines how the commodities being shipped can influence regulatory expectations, why understanding railroad operating rules is just as important as knowing your facility's procedures, and how ongoing employee training builds a stronger culture of safety.Whether you're responsible for operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, environmental compliance, transportation, or facility management, you'll leave this episode with practical ideas you can put to work immediately.In this episode, you'll learn: Why every railcar leaving your facility carries a responsibility beyond your property  What effective track inspection should include—and what facilities often overlook  The purpose and importance of track protection  Common rail safety risks found during facility inspections  How different commodities can change regulatory expectations  Why employee training and operating practices are essential to safe rail operations  The habits that distinguish high-performing facilities  Practical "Start, Stop, and Continue" recommendations to strengthen your rail safety program Rail safety isn't simply about compliance.It's about protecting employees.Protecting equipment.Protecting your operation.And protecting every community a railcar passes through after it leaves your facility.Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Send us Fan MailWe talk with Brooke Willette, Assistant Director of Admissions at the University of Vermont, about why the Common App activities list is one of the most underestimated parts of a college application. We share how admissions readers scan it, what makes descriptions stand out, and how authenticity and context can matter more than a long list of titles. • The real purpose of the activities section as a window into excitement, belonging, and campus fit • How quickly readers review activities and why strong headers and roles matter • Why quality beats quantity and how to move from “should” to genuine passion • How to choose which ten activities to include when you have more than ten • Whether the order of activities matters and how categories can help readers • Common mistakes in 150-character descriptions and how to be clear without repeating yourself • When and how to quantify impact with numbers without obsessing over exact hours • Redefining leadership beyond formal titles and highlighting quiet leadership • Valuing jobs, caregiving, and non-school responsibilities as real involvement • Including unique hobbies to add dimension and memorability in holistic admissions • What students overthink versus what admissions officers actually weigh • Adding context in Additional Information so changes in activities make sense If today's episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share this podcast with someone who needs study guidance right now.

On Get Reelisms Podcast episode 191, hosts Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen interview filmmaker/producer/AD and occasional actor Avid (“Avi”) from Puppy Love Productions about becoming a “multi-tool” on set, especially in vertical productions. Avi recounts starting as a high-school editor on Final Cut Pro 7, continuing filmmaking while majoring in chemistry/biochemistry due to family pressure, learning directing performances through an improv-actor collaborator, and falling into first AD work via a 48-hour challenge and a Sony-financed short where a seasoned producer taught him set lingo.

Donald Trump's on again off again deal making with the Iranians has hit another flashpoint this week as exchanges of fire on commercial shipping and US military bases in the region stymied negotiations before their 60 day deadline. Although large-scale combat has subsided, the conflict between the United States and Iran is far from over. Nick Carl argues that Tehran has emerged from the war with a new strategic objective: establishing de facto control over the Strait of Hormuz and using it as a tool of coercion against the international community after its traditional sources of deterrence fell short. He also examines the regime's evolving leadership following Ali Khamenei's death, the continued discontent between Iran's rulers and its people, and why Tehran believes it can outlast the United States politically despite suffering major military setbacks. While conventional wisdom suggests Iranian weakness (as discussed in our many conversations with General Jack Keane), Tehran is nonetheless negotiating from a position of confidence. Will the United States remain committed to denying Iran control of the Strait? Can diplomacy succeed without rewarding Iranian aggression? And ultimately, who has the greater will to persist? Will President Trump accept a bad agreement or abandon his deal making desires in pursuit of a more decisive outcome?Nicholas Carl is the Assistant Director for the Critical Threats Project and a Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he specializes in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Mr. Carl is the author of reports, analyses, and maps covering Iran's regional strategy and nuclear program, military structure, and politics. His commentary and maps have been featured in a variety of media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and Financial Times.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

In the 1880s, a conservator at the Smithsonian set out for Montana to capture an American bison before the dwindling species vanished forever. He returned with six taxidermied bison that he displayed in the museum. The bison diorama wowed visitors so much that it helped kickstart a movement to save the species. But then, just like that, the stuffed bison vanished! Where did they go? With the nation's 250th birthday fast approaching, the director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History set out to find the missing bison. It's a journey that led west —where it all began— and ended on the steps of the museum. Guests: Kirk Johnson, Director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural HistorySiobhan Starrs, Senior Project Manager and Exhibition Developer at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Jonny BearCub Stiffarm, Volunteer with the Fort Peck Tribal Bison program in Montana.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone bring listeners a special Fourth of July episode focused on America's founding principles, political hypocrisy, civic education, and a chilling unsolved Independence Day murder case. First, Sam Stone is joined by Jay Lapeyre, CEO of Laitram LLC, Board Chair of the Cato Institute and The Atlas Society, and a founding leader of the Free Society Coalition. Jay discusses the Declaration of Independence, the moral foundations of liberty, and why America's founding truths still matter today.

Sam and Jay also explore the Free Society Coalition's Declaration challenge, which encourages Americans to read, reflect on, and discuss the Declaration of Independence with family, friends, and neighbors. Next, Chuck Warren talks with Andrew Kerr, investigative reporter at The Washington Free Beacon, about his reporting on congressional financial disclosures and the wealth of politicians who campaign as working-class champions. Andrew explains how lawmakers can delay disclosures, why some still file in analog format, and what he found in Rep. Ro Khanna's financial records, including family interests tied to private golf clubs and wealth management. They also discuss Arizona Democrat Joanna Mendoza and questions raised after changes to her reported net worth. Follow Andrew Kerr  X: @AndrewKerrNC Then, Brenda Hafera, Assistant Director and Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's B.

Mark Labella is the creator of “Nurse the Dead,” a brand new series on iWant. It's the first Filipino-led scripted series written, created, and filmed in Hollywood, and it follows a Filipina nurse who sees ghosts and works at the most haunted ward in LA. But the ghosts in the series were more than fiction. The series was filmed in a real hospital in Historic Filipinotown that was filled with enough spirits to turn Mark from a skeptic to a believer.  In this episode, Mark shares the paranormal activity that broke his cheery 1st Assistant Director, the spirit who blessed the set with her presence, his passion for Filipino representation in entertainment, and how he developed a mutually respectful relationship with the spirits of the hospital.

In July of 1777, gunshots rang out over Philadelphia. At first glance, this may not be surprising, as America was still in the throes of the Revolutionary War. But it was not the redcoats who were firing that night. It was Americans, celebrating the very first anniversary of their independence. The edition fo the Philadelphia Evening Post, published on July 15 1777 described the celebration thus:  Yesterday the 4th of July, being the anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, was celebrated in this city with demonstrations of joy and festivity. About noon all the armed ships and gallies in the river were drawn up before the city, dressed in the gayest manner, with the colors of the United States and streamers displayed. At one o'clock, the yards being properly manned, they began the celebration of the day by a discharge of thirteen cannon from each of the ships, and one from each of the thirteen gallies, in honor of the Thirteen United States … The evening was closed with the ringing of bells, and at night there was a grand exhibition of fireworks (which began and concluded with thirteen rockets) on the Commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated. Next month, our nation will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Independence. While our struggles have changed, our civic and spiritual heritage has not. I invited Brenda Hafera, the Assistant Director for the Simon Center for American Studies, to share some thoughts about Independence Day and what we are doing this Fourth of July to keep the American dream alive.    Email us with thoughts, questions, or suggestions: HeritageExplains@heritage.org   Heritage Guide to Historic Sites: https://historicsites.heritage.org/ American Founders: https://www.heritage.org/american-founders More by Brenda Hafera: https://www.heritage.org/staff/brenda-hafera
