Watch the full coverage of the live stream on @TheEmilyDBaker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/xJUJNoRx2DU Join us as we dive into the dramatic second part of the Cardi B trial, where unexpected twists and courtroom confrontations take center stage. The other two eye witnesses took the stand. Tierra Malcolm, the front desk receptionist at the doctor's office, provides a detailed account of the altercation, including being caught between Cardi B and Emani Ellis. Tierra describes being scratched on her forehead during the chaotic encounter. Though she can only assume it was Emani who scratched her because Cardi B was behind her the entire time. Dr. David Finke, Cardi B's OBGYN that day, was allowed to testify. He recounts demanding Emani Ellis multiple times but she would not follow his orders until a long time. This was the only time something like this happened in his practice. The jury reaches a unanimous "no liability" verdict in favor of Cardi B on all counts, including assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. Hear Cardi B's powerful post-verdict statement, where she firmly denies the allegations and issues a warning against frivolous lawsuits. The plaintiff, Emani Ellis, expresses disappointment with the verdict, attributing it to a flawed justice system RESOURCES Cardi B Trial Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCqlINOcqaMDonna Adelson Trial - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gL0_OPy2AliqyEjGcI8QzBu STAY IN THE LOOP WITH EMILY D.

Landfill explosions, lithium-ion firestorms, and CIA briefings—today's guest has seen it all - or so she thought!Kathleen McCaffery's illustrious firefighting career includes crawling through rubble in Haiti, leading battalions as one of the first female fire chiefs in North America, and even rewriting Tesla's global fire safety strategy. This episode takes us into uncharted territory as Tesla recruits a retired firefighter to address global concerns over battery [fire] safety.Most solar companies are woefully underprepared to interact with firefighting agencies, and that's increasingly going to create friction and unnecessary limitations. Kathleen spent her entire career breaking down barriers (when she wasn't breaking down doors!) and has even been in the situation room of more than a few CIA operation briefs! To say she is battle-tested is putting it mildly. She answered the call to serve the country (CIA) and those in need (disaster relief), but could not have been prepared for the call she received post-retirement that pulled her back into active duty, this time taking her halfway ‘round the world to help solve battery fires in Australia! This is one of the most fun and wild conversations we've published all year.Expect to learn:
In the early hours of Oct 4, 2025 in downtown Indianapolis, former NFL QB and Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez got into a confrontation with Perry Tole, a 69-year-old truck driver collecting used cooking oil. The dispute reportedly started over blocked access/parking near an alley. During the struggle, Tole pepper-sprayed Sanchez and then stabbed him multiple times, saying it was self-defense after Sanchez allegedly tried to get into his truck and attacked him. Sanchez fled and was later hospitalized with serious injuries. Sanchez was arrested and initially booked on misdemeanors; prosecutors have since upgraded to felony battery resulting in serious bodily injury (a charge that can carry 1–6 years if convicted). Authorities say parts of the incident were captured on video. Tole has filed a civil lawsuit seeking damages against Sanchez and Fox over alleged permanent disfigurement and other injuries.

Check out OpenSolar OS 3.0 at: https://suncast.media/opensolar More batter density = more value, right? Not so fast.In this episode, we challenge the hype around energy storage density—and reveal what really drives value for battery storage assets.At RE+ 2025, Nico Johnson got to connect with two powerhouse product leaders from Wärtsilä Energy Storage: Neha Sinha, Head of Hardware Portfolio, and Ruchira Shah, Lead for Software Product Management. Together, they're crystal clear about how hardware and software integration impacts performance, revenue, and long-term viability in energy storage projects. And how that translates to strategic value for battery operators.If you think “more megawatt-hours per box” is the endgame, you might be oversizing your system—and leaving cash on the table. Neha and Ruchira explain why “usable energy,” not just nameplate capacity, is the real metric investors should care about. And why that's not solely defined by the MWH you can stuff inside a container.Expect to learn:

Germany is experiencing a battery blitz. The market is expected to triple from 2GW to 6GW in less than two years. To give a bit of context, Zach Williams from Modo Energy, gives us the big picture and fundamentals of the German battery market. Legacy developers have not yet been able to catch that wave, but newcomers have. We bring on one those new pioneers, Philipp Man, CEO of Terralayr. In less than three years, Philipp has managed to set up a company which operates or currently builds 150MW of batteries in Germany; more importantly he has managed to sign some of the first tolling agreements with heavyweights such as Vattenfall and RWE. His approach combines medium size batteries (10-30MW) rather than gigantic ones. The Vattenfall-Terralayr deal is a pioneering seven-year, 55 MW multi-asset capacity tolling agreement for a decentralized fleet of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Germany, announced in May 2025. Described as an industry-first "virtual battery tolling structure," it marks a significant shift from traditional single-asset tolling models, enabling scalable and flexible energy storage solutions without significant capital investment from Vattenfall. With Philipp, we dissect his lightspeed approach in a seemingly bureaucratic environment, we analyse how he has been to put assets on the ground so fast, and his approach to commercialisation of flexibility combining hard assets and a digital layer. We discuss the price formation of tolling agreements, the “tranching” of capacity and how he sees the future. Is Terralayr a tech company? Is it an infrastructure play? Well, a bit of both.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-sixteenth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Senior Medical Operations Officer Observer-Coach-Trainer for the Task Force Sustainment (BSB / CSSB), CPT Victor Velez on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is CPT Christina Pierce, the Officer-in-Charge, Joint Aid Station-Rear (JAS-R) attached to Bayne Jones Army Community Hospital on Fort Polk, LA. This episode of The Crucible podcast focuses on the coordination and integration of medical operations from Role I through Role 2+, with particular emphasis on the Joint Aid Station-Rear (JAS-R) at the JRTC. The discussion outlines how units often underestimate the staffing, equipment, and Class VIII requirements needed to effectively run a JAS-R. Leaders are reminded that the JAS-R is designed to function as a Role I facility with limited expansion, and its true effectiveness is shaped by what the unit brings—particularly providers, medics, and a robust Class VIII package. A bare minimum staffing model (one provider and 12 medics split across shifts) is described as unsustainable, with best practices suggesting multiple providers and additional medics to manage patient flow, casualty movement, and external appointments. The podcast highlights how equipment such as exam tables, AEDs, suction systems, and crash carts are available in the facility, but units must stock and maintain them. The conversation further emphasizes coordination with JRTC JAS-R staff and Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital (BJACH) at Ft. Polk to ensure proper credentialing, MHS Genesis access, and Class VIII ordering prior to arrival. Units are cautioned against arriving with inadequate supplies or relying solely on CTC funds allocation for replenishment, which is intended for sustainment, not initial stocking. Critical points include managing referrals to BJACH and local civilian hospitals, establishing transportation plans for follow-up care, and ensuring effective communication between providers, medics, and the white cell for accountability and patient tracking. The episode stresses that medical planning is not just a surgeon's responsibility but a command responsibility, and leaders must treat the JAS-R as a training opportunity and readiness rehearsal for the demands of LSCO.

Max talks with Bret Koebbe, Vice President of Sporty's Pilot Shop, about how Starlink internet access is entering general aviation cockpits and what that means for pilots today and in the future. For decades, cockpit connectivity was mostly reserved for the airlines. Systems like Gogo provided limited bandwidth, required expensive antennas, and were impractical for piston aircraft. GA pilots relied on ADS-B weather, portable receivers, or Iridium text messaging to stay connected. That landscape has shifted with the Starlink Mini, a portable satellite dish small enough to fit in a 182 or Cirrus, delivering broadband internet in flight. Benefits for Pilots Bret outlines the legitimate safety advantages. Pilots can text family or FBOs, update arrival times, and share real-time position updates. More importantly, Starlink could enable widespread filing of PIREPs directly from an iPad, improving weather data for all. Weather cameras, now integrated into ForeFlight, could become accessible in flight, offering pilots actual visual conditions instead of relying solely on METARs or AWOS reports. Risks and Distractions But Starlink also poses serious distraction risks. Bret shares a personal story: during a family trip, he streamed an NFL game mid-flight, only to realize within seconds how dangerously it diverted his attention. He immediately shut it off, but the experience was a powerful reminder of how alluring the technology is. Max underscores that the NTSB lists distractions as a top factor in loss-of-control accidents, and Starlink could easily become an “attractive nuisance” in cockpits. Cost and Service Plans Starlink Mini hardware is about $499, and the Local Priority plan runs $65/month for 50 GB, sufficient for most piston pilots. For corporate pilots and jets, the Global Priority plan at $250/month supports higher speeds and offshore operations. Bret explains the differences in speed limitations (350 mph for Local Priority vs 550 mph for Global Priority) and how to choose based on aircraft type and mission. Mounting and Power Solutions Because Starlink Mini lacks an internal battery, powering it is key. Bret recommends Sporty's Flight Gear Max Battery, capable of outputting 140 watts via USB-C, giving about three hours of Starlink runtime. For longer flights, higher-capacity solutions exist. Mounting options include suction cup mounts for rear windows (ideal in high-wing Cessnas and Cirrus aircraft) or side-window solutions in low-wing and corporate jets. Positioning is critical—blocking the dish with wings can cause dropouts. Practical Tips Bret offers pilot-tested tips: Create a custom iPad Focus Mode that blocks notifications except for critical texts when ForeFlight is open. Establish SOPs—use Starlink only in cruise and disconnect before descent. Enable Low Data Mode on devices to prevent iCloud or app background syncing from eating up gigabytes. Don't rely on Starlink radar or traffic feeds, which have even more latency than ADS-B. The Future of Connected Cockpits Looking ahead, Bret sees huge potential. Automatic turbulence reporting from onboard sensors could update in real time if aircraft have internet connections. Engine monitor data could be streamed to ground support for diagnostics, offering pilots in-flight decision support. Eventually, Starlink-enabled cockpits could complement FAA datalink systems like CPDLC, streamlining communication and safety services. Final Thoughts This milestone Episode 400 illustrates how cockpit technology continues to evolve rapidly. Affordable internet access brings new possibilities for safety, convenience, and passenger comfort, but it also requires disciplined use to prevent dangerous distractions. As Bret and Max agree, the future of aviation will be defined by how responsibly pilots integrate these new tools. Whether you fly a piston single, a turboprop, or a corporate jet, Starlink is likely to shape your cockpit experience in the coming years.

What do you do when the first thing you see in the morning isn't sunlight—but a dark mist blocking your way out? At just five years old, while staying at his grandparents' house, Chase awoke to the sound of movement in the living room. Expecting only morning light, he instead saw a black and gray mist—a cocoon-like shape tall enough to tower over him, standing between him and the front door. Terrified, he ran back to bed and hid under the covers until daylight gave him the courage to move again. His grandmother later revealed her own experiences in that same house—visions of being spiritually attacked, countered by what she described as a circle of angels surrounding her bed in protection. And the family's encounters didn't stop there. In Marion, South Carolina, Chase's late uncle experienced strange phenomena in his children's playroom. Battery-powered toys activated on their own, only to fall silent when he entered the room. The silence was broken by something even more unnerving: the sound of childlike laughter when no one was there. From angelic visions to sinister mist, these are the kinds of paranormal stories that leave us questioning: what's really happening in the places we call home? #RealGhostStories #ParanormalMist #HauntedHouse #SouthCarolinaGhosts #ParanormalActivity #DarkEntity #AngelProtection #GhostStoriesOnline #TrueHauntings #Supernatural Love real ghost stories?

WHY DO CUTTING EDGE EVS STILL HAVE A 12 VOLT BATTERY? Welcome back to EV News Daily, welcome The Tech Sheet, the name we give to special bonus episodes which explain the tech behind EVs. Despite the advances in electric vehicle technology, from massive lithium-ion battery packs to sophisticated power management systems, virtually every modern electric vehicle still carries what appears to be an automotive relic: the humble 12-volt lead-acid battery. This seemingly anachronistic component, dating back to automotive conventions established in the 1950s, continues to play a critical role in even the most advanced electric vehicles. The persistence of 12V systems in cutting-edge EVs represents a fascinating intersection of legacy engineering, practical necessity, safety requirements, and economic considerations that have proven remarkably resistant to disruption. The recent introduction of Tesla's Cybertruck with its groundbreaking 48-volt electrical architecture has reignited industry discussions about whether the time has finally come to abandon the decades-old 12V standard. Tesla's decision to share its 48V implementation documentation with other automakers has created both opportunity and controversy, raising fundamental questions about the future of automotive electrical systems. Yet two years after the Cybertruck's launch, the industry has largely remained committed to traditional 12V architectures, revealing deep-seated challenges that extend far beyond simple technical preferences.

Electric Starter Innovation (1912): Cadillac's electric starter replaced hazardous hand cranking, creating the first real demand for onboard batteries. Primitive Battery Tech: Early lead-acid batteries were heavy, maintenance-intensive, but crucially rechargeable, forming the backbone of automotive electrification. Transition to 12 Volts (1953–1956): GM pioneered the switch to 12 volts to handle more powerful engines, advanced lighting, and growing accessory loads. Efficiency of Higher Voltage: Doubling voltage reduced current needs, allowing thinner wiring, cost savings in copper, and improved reliability. Industry Standardization: By 1956, nearly all US automakers adopted 12 volts, though some European brands (e.g., VW) stuck with 6 volts into the 1960s. Failed 42-Volt Push (1990s–2000s): Attempts to move to 42 volts collapsed due to entrenched 12-volt supply chains, high transition costs, and improvements in electronics that stretched 12-volt capacity. Dual Systems in EVs: Modern EVs use high-voltage packs (400–800V) for propulsion plus a separate 12-volt system for safe, standardized accessory power. Critical Role of 12 Volts in EVs: Powers ECUs, startup systems, safety features, and even contactors that enable the high-voltage battery—failure immobilizes the car. Manufacturing & Service Dependence: Wiring harness complexity, global supply chains, technician training, and standardized safety/service procedures all lock in 12-volt dominance. Economic & Regulatory Inertia: Supplier ecosystems, cost-benefit barriers, and established safety frameworks have long prevented alternative low-voltage standards from taking over. Tesla's 48-Volt Revolution (2023, Cybertruck): First production vehicle to adopt full 48-volt architecture; reduces current loads, wiring weight, and improves efficiency but required custom components outside traditional supplier chains.
