After five tumultuous years as head of Air New Zealand, CEO Greg Foran is preparing to hang up his wings this October. Between COVID-19 border closures, fleet delays, maintenance issues and other problems, it's fair to say the Kiwi flag carrier has had a rough half-decade – but how well has it weathered the storm? On location in Auckland, Australian Aviation's Jake Nelson talks to Foran about his tenure, what he might have done differently, and what might be next for the airline. Plus, Adam and Jake discuss the rest of the week's news, including Qantas' ongoing attempts to draw a line under the Joyce era. Jake Nelson travelled as a guest of Air New Zealand.

Between COVID-19, Avian Influenza, and African Swine Fever, ordinary consumers are more aware than ever of the risks of infectious diseases on animal and human health, and to society at large. Ag technology that helps farmers better prevent the spread of diseases is more relevant than ever, and that was a big part of the motivation for today's guest, Rob Hannam, CEO of Farm Health Guardian. But Farm Health Guardian was far from the only livestock biosecurity agtech company in the space, and at some point, when the team came in contact with a competitor with a complementary suite of technologies, they did something unusual. The two companies merged.Given the current state of agtech funding and global financial markets, we thought the time was right to invite Rob on to talk about how he and his team first started exploring the idea of a merger, how they thought about the decision, and how it helped them unlock new opportunities and a more complete product.For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

Brussels ushers in new leadership at the European Parliament in June. Migration, along with defence and the economy, will be a key issue to drive the changes in and for the next five years' politics. To make sense of a future that this new set of leaders may draw up, it is vital to look back to the last five years' key events that have shaped the migration narrative in Europe and beyond its borders. Between COVID-19 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine that triggered the Temporary Protection status; ongoing refugee crises intensified by the fire in Greece's Moria refugee camp and the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan that drove scores of migrants in the Mediterranean; and finally, the adoption this year of The Pact on Migration and Asylum. ICMPD takes stock at the policy directions and, more importantly, what this means to people – those seeking to reach Europe, those who welcome them and those who ask the question of where we are headed, and those who can potentially enrich the region's ability to sustain its future. This extended episode of ICMPD's Migration Podcast brings together two of our Experts, Hugo Brady and Martin Wagner. They discuss these key events and the policy directions in Brussels, the challenges and opportunities that migration has presented the EU, and the priority actions and policy recommendations that will guide the next five years for the new leaders in Brussels and the rest of the European community. 

Another day, another strike. Yes, it's the teachers again. In an industry crippled by lack of performance, they have divided yet another day of not turning up at work is somehow going to help kids get ahead in the world. Our email came through yesterday morning saying that the strike that was on, was put off, until it was put back on again after the latest pay offer was rejected. Say whatever you want about ACT, but they are at least consistent in their general view of life; and that is, we need to be better. In too many aspects of life these days we are haphazard, if not lackadaisical, if not outright abysmal. Their argument is that the 439 schools that haven't bothered to report their attendance data to the ministry should lose their funding until they do. Attendance is a crisis. As I told you the other day, they are worried in NSW about attendance rates dropping below 80 per cent. We are at 49 per cent. And while we are at 49 per cent teachers think it's a great idea to keep withdrawing their labour. So, by the time you get the industrial action, the holidays, the teachers only days, the paid union meeting days, half days, the absenteeism and the minister leading the way with her disgraceful performance in the house around attendance figures, you have yourself a pretty dire ol' set of circumstances. As I mentioned at the start of all this industrial action, most of us have sympathy with the teachers plight. Most of us get that the good ones are shockingly paid. But that starts to wear thin after a few too many days off and a bit too much inconvenience. I also mentioned the other day that there is a practical solution to the problem - performance pay. Unions don't want it and most teachers don't want it because, heaven forbid, you'd actually find out who was up to it and who was there merely making up the numbers. And so a large grouping expects more money, not for more performance, or better outcomes. But merely because the cost-of-living is a mess, and they inconvenience whoever they want, until they get what they want. Once again, the kids stay at home. History will show that this current crop of students was let down shockingly. Between Covid, the lockdowns, the piecemeal credit giveaways, the abysmal test results around numeracy, literacy etc, and the seemingly never-ending strikes, it doesn't get a lot worse than what they are having to put up with. It's a rare old day that a system that fails so badly, has the temerity to inconvenience so many for their own ends.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've been in my "cave" a lot the past few years. Between COVID, family caregiving, and chronic illness, it's been easy to avoid connection and community.And in some ways it's been good. It's been a very creative period. It's helped me to figure some things out.But.I am also realizing there's healing that can only happen in community. And I also have work to do in the world that requires contact with other humans.So May has been the month of venturing out of the cave and throwing myself ungracefully back into the world of human connection.Going on vacation with friends. Sleeping on the couch of an AirBNB. Sharing a kitchen. (HUGE.)Hiking with others. Putting my slowness, my weakness, and my weirdness on full display.I have definitely made mistakes and been a jerk. But I've also learned A TON. Stuff you literally can't learn on those solo spiritual getaways.So in today's episode, I talk about what this part of my healing journey — that is happening in community — is revealing. And also share some survival tips for those of you who need a little help coming out of the cave.Resources MentionedSarah's InstagramSarah's Breathwork MeetupEmail: sarah@missadventurepants.comSpecial OfferDownload a FREE meditative breathwork session for long COVID symptom relief — or any time you want to relax!

For us, Covid really highlighted the importance of being prepared, and it was also a stimulus for Adam wanting to become a hunter after he went into the market in Portugal and found that there was no meat available for purchase. Between Covid and the war in Ukraine, we just wanna make sure we are always prepared enough within our own 4 walls that if anything ever happened, the kids would never feel a sense of panic, or a fear come out of us as their parents because we're not prepared. It's good to have a stock of food 2:05Putting aside money for food storage 7:30We go through a lot 12:00“We made the decision that we would always take food storage seriously. And look what happened, look at Russia, in Ukraine they didn't expect to have to leave their country overnight, but look at a 72 hour kit bag would have been perfect for them to be prepared.” 6:43https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/Pick up a copy of Journal to Joy.

Branta Lockett moved through her educational odyssey at the highest levels. W.E.B. DuBois would have absolutely drafted her for his Talented Tenth All Star Team. Highly Gifted and Talented, International Baccalaureate, Brown University, she brought her sterling credentials to Denver, hoping to be the difference for all students, especially Black students. Her first two years as a Denver teacher were, simply put, "great." But by year three, things began to unravel. She witnessed disproportionate disciplinary actions taken against Black boys. Still new to the work, she became a voice of advocacy for students and community. Her evaluation scores took a jarring dip. She changed roles, and found no support in any of them. Between COVID-19 and anti-Black dynamics within the union, she took the leap. The 5280 Freedom School, inspired by the Civil Rights era's Mississippi Freedom Schools, launched first as a summer program. After having their charter initially rejected, they are poised to open their doors in "Harlem of the West," the Five Points neighborhood. This story is at once a cautionary tale and a call to action.

If you don't have experience doing these things, that's not a problem; you can't be an expert at everything, but get somebody to help you.” “Don't treat FDA as our elementary school teacher.” Links:Mike Drues LinkedInArticle: FDA wants COVID test developers to shift from EUAs to traditional premarket pathways (RAPS, Sept 27, 2022)Article: FDA Repeatedly Adapted Emergency Use Authorization Policies To Address the Need for COVID-19 Testing (HHS, Office of Inspector General, Sept 2022) ReportCDRH Website: Monkeypox Emergency Use Authorizations for Medical DevicesArticle: FDA issues draft guidance for transitioning medical devices granted EUAs during pandemicFDA Guidance: Transition Plan for Medical Devices That Fall Within Enforcement Policies Issued During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Public Health EmergencyFDA Guidance: Transition Plan for Medical Devices Issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Public Health EmergencyWebinar: How Can Medical Device Companies Use The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) To Address The Covid-19 Pandemic?

Dr. Jeff Pettis returns to Beekeeping Today Podcast with an update of this past September's Apimondia Congress, in Turkey. Jeff was selected President of Apimondia when they last met in Canada three years ago. His goal was to hit the road running by planning a spectacular event in Russia for 2021. Between Covid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, lots of things got in the way of that plan and the 2021 meeting was moved to Istanbul, Turkey in 2022. The location was chosen because Istanbul was a familiar location for the group, and travel to there from almost anywhere was one of the least troublesome due to covid issues and other legal restrictions. Dr. Pettis, a former USDA Research Leader at the Beltsville Bee Lab brings not only over 20 years of experience in honey bee research, but also a unique perspective of what beekeepers need, and want to get from an international meeting such as Apimondia.

Hidden Charges at the Pump. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika. Many of us who drive cars now dread the day when we've got to go to the gas station. Between COVID-19, Russia vs. Ukraine, and other economic factors, gas prices have already passed the $5 per gallon mark and don't appear to be falling anytime soon. What we might not know, however, is that there are a lot of different taxes that go into the price at the pump. They are non-trivial now, and under some legislative proposals they will be much more intrusive. Under consideration, for example, are carbon taxes and/or road usage charges.

At 5:30AM on Saturday morning, Coach Jack posted on the team Facebook page – the training run was a go.  Just as well. The Boston Marathon is now five weeks away and as a proud member of the gasping geezers division of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team, I knew we needed to get in a long run.  Between Covid and the weather, training has not exactly been easy.  On Saturday, the forecast was for rain with the possibility of torrential downpours.  But getting wet on Saturday was a better choice than waiting any longer for ideal training conditions.  Sometimes, despite adverse conditions and uncertainty, you just have to get going.

It's been a week since the start of the new year, and I'm already starting off shaky. Between COVID, a snow storm, work and the little struggles of life, I've found myself hating my “here”. Worst of all, the new year, new me rhetoric on social media has been making me discontent with my own life, instead of inspiring me to start or continue on my spiritual wellness journey. In today's episode, we'll talk about comparison, the growing pains of our 20s, and how God wants to develop us in private so we can effectively demonstrate our purpose in public.KINGDOM KEYSSurviving Redefining- Sarah Jakes Roberts - https://youtu.be/P-Vz-clTORI“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin….” Zechariah 4:10 “I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything.

I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.”Prayer:Lord, Help me to not seek approval from others, but from you alone.

One of the things that we were designed for is relationships (see Genesis 2:18). And this shouldn't surprise us because we are made in the image of our God who is Himself a community (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Perhaps that is why this past year has been so difficult: it has been a year in which we are not only separated physically, but separated relationally. Between COVID and cultural conflict, social media fights and social division, it is no wonder we are exhausted, worn down, and depressed. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Hello Interactors,It’s hard to miss news about global supply chain woes these days. Between Covid, natural disasters, and strained trade relations with China it seems unlikely we’ll see anything that looks like normal for some time. But companies aren’t waiting to find out. They’re taking matters into their own hands. Or so they think. As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…MARIA CANTWELL AND THE CHAIN GANG“There are some people who are saying, ‘Look, what I need is short term because this is never going to happen again,’ ” she said. “Then there are other people who are saying, ‘This is going to happen more often than we think.’ The world is a very different place, and it’s not just the pandemic. It’s natural disasters. It’s the floods down in the South. It’s tornadoes, it’s hurricanes.”These are the words of Ellen Kullman. She’s the CEO of Carbon Inc., a 3-D printing company. She’s also the former CEO of DuPont, sits on the board of directors for Goldman Sachs and Dell, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a recognized leader in global science and engineering, and once chaired the US-China Business Council.She knows a thing or two about global supply chains; which have had their fair share of attention recently. As global corporations have pushed their employees to work Harder, Better, Faster, and Stronger. They must appease shareholders demanding perpetual growth, even at the cost to people and the environment. To do so, they rely on other parts of the globe for raw materials and labor – a spatial fix.Covid has taken a 200-year capitalism strategy believed to be immune to disruption and has created a supply chain pandemic. Just as the disease is testing our body’s immune system, it’s also testing the resiliency of networked global supply chains.The onset of the pandemic showed early signs of vulnerability when global corporations were hit by governmental restrictions. Without notice borders around the world were closed, lockdowns prevented employees from working, and no sooner were facemasks recommended did we run out of supply. Dr. Gary Gereffi from Duke’s Global Value Chains Center said,“China accounted for about 60% of U.S. face mask imports prior to the pandemic, but China suspended its exports of face masks worldwide as it dealt with its own outbreak of COVID-19 cases in early 2020.”It wasn’t until late August that the supply gap was filled by U.S. producers.Gereffi was testifying on July 15, 2021, in a hearing chaired by Democratic U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell on “Implementing Supply Chain Resiliency.” The meeting was in reaction to one of Biden’s first executive orders. It launched a 100-day review identifying vulnerabilities in the nation’s supply chains and how to address them.The witnesses in the hearing included Gereffi from academia and five others from government agencies and the business sector. Their testimonies paint an accurate state of the country’s complicated over reliance on the global supply chain. They also had asks of the government that you might expect; more government funding, private-public partnerships, subsidies, or for the government to get out of the way. Or, in the case of Lex Taylor, a confusing mix of all the above.William A. (Lex) Taylor III runs The Taylor Group of Companies, Inc. It was founded in 1927 as Taylor Machine Works in Louisville, Mississippi. Did I mention the ranking member and co-chair seated alongside Cantwell was U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi?The Taylor Group is now a privately held holding company for Taylor Machine Works (heavy industrial forklifts), Taylor Power Systems (power generators), and Taylor Defense (remanufactured military material).Taylor complained about the lack of resiliency in the global supply chain. He said the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) had quickly come up with a plan for how to circumvent the Covid caused supply chain conundrums called operation “Floorplan”. It was modelled after what he deemed a “successful Payroll Protection Program the Congress instituted at the Small Business Administration.” A clear nod to a government success story by a devote capitalist.But he claimed operation “Floorplan“ failed “because of the political wrangling and failure of the government to understand the big-picture consequences of letting supply chains falter.” Yet the association seemed ok asking the government to bankroll his “Floorplan” program.He went on about how every private company involved in his vast and deep supply chain began raising their prices to control their limited and dwindling supplies – a tried and true trick of the free-market system. Compounding inflation among suppliers forced him to ultimately raise his prices too; all the while trying to stay afloat. He said, “we have kept our lines running but are facing 30% to 75% price increases either from our vendors or the transportation companies, or a combination of both.”What gouged him the most was unbridled free-market pricing; a practical solution driven by the private sector. At the same time, he wanted federal dollars to fix the problem with a government subsidized “Floorplan.”But while he and his employees benefitted from the government run Payroll Protection Program – and he wished the federal government would have funded his “Floorplan” – he would rather the free-market solve his problems. Even though the free market created the bulk of his financial pain.In his closing remarks he said, “My request is that this committee not act to overcorrect with solutions that may cause unintended consequences. Rather, I encourage you to support the free-market system and allow it to do what it does best and find solutions that are practical and driven by the private sector.” Price gouging is a practical mechanism of the free-market. A solution? Maybe not.BOEING BOEING GONEIn her opening remarks, Maria Cantwell said, “I would say, Senator Wicker, I'm not sure 20 years ago, if we would've had the same hearing.”Twenty years ago Cantwell was in her first year as a U.S. Senator. Amassing independent wealth from her time in the software industry, she threw a lot of her own money into her campaign against the eleven year incumbent, Republican Slade Gorton. Microsoft was her biggest donor, followed by two law firms, and the fourth largest campaign contributor was Boeing.Six months later Boeing sought their own spatial fix and announced they were moving their corporate headquarters to Chicago. By September of 2001, after being headquartered in Seattle since 1916, the Boeing corporate offices fell vacant.Eight years later, in 2009, after the 2008 financial crisis, Boeing applied another spatial fix moving an assembly plant from Washington to South Carolina. North Charleston’s economy had been devastated by the closure of a naval shipyard and the Great Recession. They were experiencing record high unemployment rates. So the state offered Boeing an incentive to move their factory. If Boeing could create 3,800 jobs and invest $750 million over the next seven years, the state would pitch in another $450 million.Boeing had already been dealing with ugly union strikes in Washington. Four of their last seven contract negotiations ended in strikes. Conservatives blamed the machinists while liberals blamed Boeing. Either way, South Carolina was union free. An unorganized labor force is attractive to corporations because they can dictate the terms of pay uncontested. Some states, and nations, will even suppress or ban unions in hopes of attracting businesses to their regions.Frank Larkin of the Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said in 2009, “It became clear early on that the company was less interested in making a deal than they were in getting more incentives out of South Carolina…The longer they sat at the table with us, the more South Carolina offered them."Just 2.7% of South Carolina’s labor force is unionized – the lowest in the United States. Since the plant opened in 2011, Boeing has been fighting attempts by employees to unionize. In 2017, 3,000 employees tried and failed to unionize. A year later they succeeded despite Boeing funding a widespread media campaign against it.So, Boeing took them to court. Because litigation slows down unionization, it buys time for Boeing to continue to use their wealth, power, and strength to disrupt the momentum of organizers. It also provides opportunities to fire employees as a way of sending a message to workers.In November of 2018 they fired air force veteran, Richard Mester and two others for failing to report a bird strike on a Boeing engine. Mester had been doing this line of work for 30 years and knows a bird strike when he sees it. The Guardian reported, “He had just bought a house and had two daughters in college when he was terminated.” Mester said, “It was easy to see it was because we were union members…Boeing has no qualms about squashing any possibility of a union down here. Unfortunately we were the result of that.”Despite the dwindling Boeing presence in Washington state, Maria Cantwell did mentioned in her opening remarks, “I can say for me in the state of Washington, aviation supply chain is something we're very proud of. More than 150,000 people work in that supply chain that continue to innovate and create new products…[this] is where the innovation is happening in the supply chain.”She’s referring to an insight offered in a testimony by Richard Aboulafia, the VP of Analysis at the Teal Group in Fairfax, Virginia. Out of the gate he exposed the realities of the aviation supply chain by talking about value, innovation, and vulnerability.He said, “For a typical Boeing jetliner, 80% of the value gets added at the supplier level…When Boeing sells a jetliner…suppliers, collectively, realize more revenue than [Boeing does].”He added, “the innovation that takes place in aviation happens at the supplier level, and not at the prime level. Boeing’s 737 jetliner [has] been in production for around half a century. But the…successful transformation of these aircraft is because of the tremendous innovation that has taken place at the supplier level.”Perhaps this explains why Washington state has not fought to win back the union heavy airplane assembly business. As Microsoft rose in the 90s and Amazon in the 2000s, the area attracted higher paying white collar engineering talent that fed into the aviation supply industry. Washington’s aviation history catalyzed a new industrial trajectory; what evolutionary economists call path dependence.Aboulafia continued, “As with most complex manufactured products, an aircraft production system is only as strong as its weakest link. The supply chain, crucial to industry success, is also its greatest Vulnerability.”China is fully aware of this vulnerability. Aboulafia said, “China, notably, is not a significant source of aircraft components, even from transplant factories. In fact, at the peak level of U.S.-China aerospace trade, the trade balance between the two countries was 17-1 in the U.S.’s favor.”This does not bode well for U.S. aviation suppliers. Aboulafia said, “The only area of serious concern, outside of Covid-19 itself, is China, the biggest single export market (and tied with the US for biggest single market). At the peak level of deliveries to China, 2018, the country took 23% of all jetliner deliveries worldwide. This has fallen precipitously, for both market reasons and due to geopolitical factors. This trade is under threat, due to slowing in-country growth rates, China’s reluctance to recertify Boeing’s 737MAX, and the U.S. Government’s decision to put Western components for China’s ambitious national aircraft programs on a possibly restrictive export list.”Furthermore, Covid put a real dent in the airlines biggest revenue generator – international business travel. It’s forced them to ground planes and halt new orders. And while business is picking up again, the companies bringing supply chains closer to home will be taking fewer overseas business trips to Asia.The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Italian apparel company, Benetton is planning to “cut its Asia-based production by half in the next 12 to 16 months and move the work to countries on the Mediterranean.” It’s an end to a decades old reliance on Asian labor and supply chains that “requires regular visits to make sure manufacturing and materials meet quality standards and some aspects, such as production timing, aren’t under the company’s control overseas.” (1)HOG TIED ON THE SUPPLY SIDEReading and watching the testimonies from Cantwell’s hearing, I couldn’t help notice the yearning for the glory days of the 20th century Fordist era when America dominated manufacturing and supply chains. The Duke professor, Dr. Gereffi, gushed over the reemergence of the furniture and textile industry in North Carolina and how his state excels at efficient pig processing.Lex Taylor sees dollars signs with a “Floorplan” that can build more trucks, generators, and recycled military parts. And while Boeing has all but ceded the airline market to AirBus, Cantwell wants the 150,000 aviation experts in Washington state to at least be supplying parts.Some of these aging, all male except Cantwell, boomers testifying at the hearing are of the age where I can imagine them reminiscing on the golden years of the nationalist “America First” sentiment that Trump tapped into in 2016. Wicker would have turned 16 in 1967, the end of the Fordism era.But there were also testimonies that looked to a Post-Fordist industrial era. IBM’s Dr. Dario Gill talked about their semiconductor lab in New York and how their public-private partnership will produce new chips out of the factory in Malta, New York. Chuck Schumer, Democratic Senator from New York, helped seal that deal with the $110 billion Endless Frontier Act; $10 billion of which goes toward hubs like those in New York. The North Carolina Research Triangle hopes to get on that money as well. Dr. Gereffi talked of how North Carolina’s booming weaving loom know-how could transmogrify from cotton into silicon.The Endless Frontier Act is a bipartisan bill intended to counter China’s semiconductor dominance. But, again, it falls victim to this outdated notion that America can return to our Fordist days. I know I’m over simplifying, but it takes a special combination of hubris and ignorance to believe you can replace 30 years of global supply networks, throughput, and intellectual property with a ‘Made in America’ stamp. Federal funding is needed to remedy our supply chain woes, but chest pounding nationalistic protectionism won’t get us there.The most reasoned testimony in Cantwell’s hearing came from James A. Lewis. He’s a Senior Vice President and Director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He said, “Two things broke that global supply chain. The first is the rise of a predatory China that will use any means to displace competitors in its quest for global primacy. The second is the COVID-19 pandemic, which produced an understandable desire in many nations to reduce their dependence on foreign suppliers and instead rely on national capabilities.”He talked about how America got spooked when we realized how much we relied on China for necessary medical supplies. It prompted many in the U.S. to “want to move some critical production back onto their territories.” He’s right.Atlanta home builder PulteGroup got fed up with delays and is building an automated assembly plant in South Carolina. Majestic Steel USA is opening new facilities across the country to avoid impediments in the supply chain. Climate calamities are also forcing companies to rethink supply chains. Paint powerhouse Sherman-Williams got fed up with Hurricane delays at southern ports. They bought a company with sites in Oregon and South Carolina to handle the load.But as Lewis point out, in many ways this is just copying China and may be short sighted. Even the knee jerk reaction from Schumer and the Endless Frontier Act. He said, “This supply chain nationalism is reinforced by growing and powerful competition for technological leadership and by events like the semiconductor shortage.”He continues, “Twentieth century American innovation was national, but today’s innovation base is international, with strong research and commercial links between the United States, Europe, and Asia.” And he rightfully concludes, “A country that cuts itself off from this international innovation system will fall behind.”China has assumed America, and Europe, have been in decline since the end of the Cold War in 1989. They recognized the strategy of the U.S. and our allies was to seek regions to either invade, persuade, or buy. And then, theoretically, establish a Western style democracy to further build out a global supply chain, buy labor, and manufacture and sell goods and services.So they invested heavily in industry within China and then expanded globally investing in 70 countries worldwide in infrastructure. Their One Belt One Road initiative has been building mines, dams, ports, railroads, airports, solar installations and more around the world to control the extraction and flow of resources and capital.It’s like a parasitic super-structure on top of the West’s established global supply chain. It grows their dominance by feeding off of Western consumerism and neoliberal economic policies; all the while continuing to spoon Chinese made goods to the perpetually hungry mouths of American consumers.John A. Lewis concluded his remarks with a stern directive:“The U.S. must respond to China’s hostility, but we can no longer rely on market forces alone to advance the national interest. Defensive actions alone will not suffice. These themes all point to the need for a renewed industrial strategy, but it cannot simply duplicate previous policies because we are now in a world where the private sector leads. This means the task [for America] is to find where government intervention can best support a multinational commercial innovation base.”A renewed industrial strategy is needed, indeed. But, so is a new economic creed that doesn’t breed greed. Subscribe at interplace.io

Between COVID-related mandates and burgeoning cybersecurity requirements and false claims threats, is it still worth the trouble for companies to try and obtain federal business? There's an irony here. If you are in fact secure and you've got the best mousetrap, a contract is more important than ever. Federal Drive host Tom Temin talked about all of this with Federal marketing and sales consultant Larry Allen.

2020 was a crazy year for ASML. Between COVID outbreaks and worldwide economic instability, ASML found itself juggling whipsawing customer demand. TSMC lost Huawei as a flagship customer. As a result, they did not need so many EUV machines and they cut their allocation. Then, Intel delayed their roadmap by 6-12 months, and the EUV order book shrank yet further. Suddenly, ASML found itself making more EUV machines than their customers needed. So they cut their 2021 budget. They told their entire supply chain to hunker down. Well, you know what happened next. The economy came roaring back and everyone needs chips now.

Between Covid-19 and America's racial reckoning over that past 12 months, there's never been a more important time to understand how race and racism affect both the reporting and the consumption of news in America. In the leadup to Juneteenth, Watson held an event exploring these issues with some of the leading voices covering race today: New York Times reporter John Eligon and CNN Senior Correspondent Sara Sidner. They were interviewed by former President of CNN Jon Klein '80. It was a fascinating event that we thought our listeners at Trending Globally would love, so on this episode we're broadcasting an edited version of their conversation.

Summer of 2021 is looking real outsidish haha. Between Covid dying regulations lifting and PPP loans ...its looking like this summer is gonna be one for the books ! K.O and Jamerson speaking right here on All Things Wavy.

I am going to have a real conversation with you today. Have you ever wanted something so bad and then became disappointed when it doesn't happen immediately? Yeah... me too!  Long story short, I've had some pretty serious goals this year (even with having baby #3) and they seem like they are taking forever! Between COVID, delays in material good, unexpected weather, and so much more.. It feels like this goal will never happen. Life happens...  My advice to you - KEEP GOING! Yes, it might not be perfect and that's OK. Show the Universe/God/Source/Spirit that you are serious about your goals by not giving up if things don't turn out your way the first time. There are two reasons why are goals don't manifest immediately or like we imagined:  1. We are not energetically ready for them.  2. Something better is coming our way if we can just be patient!  Anyways.. Slow down. Relax. Breathe.

Between COVID and social media, many people find it harder to be friends with others. Dannah Gresh asks the question, how does God want us to be a friend?

When the pandemic hit last March, the U.S. was still facing another major public health crisis —the opioid epidemic. Between COVID-19 lockdowns and economic devastation, overdose deaths soared. Experts estimate that around 90,000 people died of a drug overdose in 2020. That's the highest number of overdose deaths ever, and it represents the largest one-year increase. On the latest episode of The Dose, we explore why drug deaths are rising and how policymakers can help fix the problem with guests Brendan Saloner, professor of health policy at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, and Jesse Baumgartner, a research associate at the Commonwealth Fund.  

These past couple of years, following the news has felt like a roller coaster. Between COVID, the US presidential elections, and most recently the Israel-Gaza conflict, there has been a lot to follow, but the biased coverage and spin that most news outlets engage in can be confusing and frustrating.  Bracha Halperin saw the need for unbiased, non-inflammatory, factual reporting, and took it upon herself to fill this void. It's come with many challenges, but knowing that her work is having a strong impact on so many people keeps her going. 

When you have a podcast, and it's Mother's Day, what's more natural than asking your boys to be the guests? I'm fortunate to have three wonderful sons, and on this episode you'll hear their opinions on part of their education journey, and the importance of education not just in their life, but in the larger society, as they see it. I hope you enjoy this have as much as I did! Thanks to Walker, Darwin, and Everett! Between COVID and the fires last year, the two Californians, Walker and Darwin, moved home to Amarillo, if only for a bit. Glad to have them home for awhile. Everett is still in Wichita, Kansas. Wonderful young gents!

Resources Five long-term consumer behavior changes due to COVID-19The Joe Public Retreat 2022 Takeaways The "untouchables" Making room for new, high-ROI initiatives could mean retiring old practices that no longer make sense in today's changed (and continually changing) world. We call these old practices the "untouchables" because they're often repeated on behalf of leadership without a clear business case.We discussed three "untouchable" marketing initiatives, including open enrollment campaigns, disease of the month campaigns, and the U.S. News & World Report.Modern brands are human brands The way people interact with brands has changed, and health system marketers must be more creative and relevant in how they connect with their audiences.Staying creative and relevant means we have to become human brands, prioritizing honesty and authenticity while listening to our audiences at every opportunity.Patients' experience of your hospital or health system brand must match your brand promise – what your patients can expect from you at every step of their consumer journey.Today's consumers have more options, and those options often offer low-stakes trial periods, resulting in waning brand loyalty. To counter this trend, health brands must become human brands.Thinking different, differently Creativity means taking risks and ignoring unfounded doubts. But don't just be different to be different. Be different to resonate.Between COVID-19, social unrest, and election turmoil, events within the last year created stressors and ignited new fires. The result: changed behaviors.Multiculturalism is no longer a nice-to-have. It has to exist in the data we pull, the strategy we employ, and the creative we develop. It's not just about language.Can you still have a single brand slogan? Will a broad slogan resonate across audiences? What are the implications if that is the case? Hospital and health system marketers must consider these questions.

The US Census Bureau had a really hard time doing its work last year. Between COVID and natural disasters occurring across the country, the census process was delayed by months. But now the first data set of the 2020 Census is in. And for Michigan, the numbers are telling a story we’ve heard before. It's the fifth consecutive census in which we've lost a congressional seat.

Dave Hembrough is Founder and Head Coach at Sports Club Hallam Barbell, Sports Personality of the Year 2020 Unsung Hero for the BBC Yorkshire Region, and Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach at Sheffield Hallam University. Hallam Barbell is a weightlifting and strength training club, affiliated to British Weightlifting. Dave set up Hallam Barbell just over 10 years ago. At the time, he confesses, he didn't know what he was getting into. He had to embark on a learning journey to equip himself for leadership. Dave has had roles in strength and conditioning at national level for volleyball, table tennis, and diving as well as weightlifting, but none of that prepared him to run a club and to manage people. What he did learn from his time in performance sport was that helping people to beat an opponent didn't motivate him as much as helping people to be better, and healthier, and enjoy life more. At an early stage in the development of the club, Dave had the opportunity of a place on a leadership course run by Richard Field (http://www.integralleadership.com/prof-richard-field-obe.php (http://www.integralleadership.com/prof-richard-field-obe.php)), based on the ‘Integral Leaders Programme' (http://www.integralleadership.com/ (http://www.integralleadership.com)). This was a formative experience for him. One outcome of the course was that he developed a purpose statement that grounds him and helps him steer in the right direction: “To find happiness and commitment, for me, and those around me as best as I can, through being positive and future focused, supportive, caring, and compassionate, and by making a difference through action.” Hallam Barbell is a small, relatively new, and growing organisation that relies heavily on its team of volunteers. He recognises the need to support that team and for them to be enjoying the journey, contributing, and active. Where you arrive is “not always where you set out to go but that's part of the fun of the adventure as well.” Developing people is a priority for Dave. Development is part of what the volunteers rightfully expect in return for participation in the club. He runs a strength and conditioning mentorship programme at Sheffield Hallam University. During Covid he has run a mentoring programme for coaches, involving a monthly meeting, a buddy system providing for regular one-to-ones (for which Dave provided a framework), and also a one-to-one with Dave every two to three weeks. One of Dave's proudest achievements is that when he stepped back from Hallam Barbell for a couple of months following the birth of his daughter, the programme he had developed ran in his absence. He thinks great leaders make themselves dispensable. Similarly, when the club is hosting a competition he organises it so that he is a “spare part” and everyone else is doing the doing. He sums it up by saying the thing he is proud of is the people who have taken and run with the opportunities the club has offered them. The biggest challenge for Dave has been managing individuals. He uses the term ‘coaching tightrope' to describe the balance that needs to be struck between support and challenge, which in turn requires listening, and understanding. He is still working at this. During Covid Hallam Barbell were unable to use their original gym, and a company called Kitlocker (https://www.kitlocker.com) stepped forward to provide space. Between Covid lockdowns the club has had more sessions, and more participants. “It just shows that we've got the right traction, the right momentum, the right people.” They're currently going through a rebranding process that will position them for what's next. The end goal is to coach more people throughout the city region and beyond and positively affect more lives. Previously Professor Rob Copeland of Sheffield's Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre has featured on the Compassionate Leadership Interview (episode 15). In 2021 the AWRC will launch a Leading Health and Wellbeing...

Episode Summary Welcome back to the Erica Diamond Podcast. Between COVID, and creating my new online course Busy To Bliss, it has all has kept me away for far too long. I'm so happy to be back with you guys! And as I have come to teach over the years, although prioritizing self-care and health may seem like common sense, it's often the first thing to go when we find ourselves is challenging situations, especially during a pandemic. That's why I'm so thrilled to have Val Desjardins on today's episode. She's here to inspire us to get ourselves back on our to-do lists and care for our mind, body and soul. Before we went on lockdown, Val was also one of my coaches at her gym, kicking my ass for 60 hard minutes, which then let me reap the benefits and feel the afterglow of all that hard work. In This Episode  Take me back to the beginning. We know you as Pump Fitness MTL, but I feel like I remember night club owner somewhere in your past? Tell us about that, and how you found fitness. You're an LGBTQ advocate, married to your amazing wife Jen (also in health and fitness), with your beautiful family and daughter Brooklyn. Talk to me what it was like growing up a gay woman in Montreal. As a society, we weren't nearly as progressive back then as we are today— gay marriage is legal in Quebec and thank goodness for our world finally embracing that love is love.  Let's get into fitness! I wanna jump right in. First, — your body, your discipline, your regiment. We have to talk about that first. Not your clients' - please tell us about you! Tell me your secret to DISCIPLINE. Because that's the hardest part for most people - it to stay consistent. Talk to be about this stat we often hear. It's 80% food and 20% exercise to keep our bodies fit and in shape. Do you really believe this?  Which leads me to, anyone can work out for an hour. It's the other 23 hours that helps determine success too. Can you speak to that? I'm going to ask you especially during COVID when we're at home and not in gyms (depending of course where you live), what 5 quick exercises you would do on a deserted island with no equipment! What are 3 things you can't live without. What are 3 things we should all give up (I'm expecting soda to be one of them?) How have you adapted during COVID? I know you followed the digital trend, but you also have your new space, The Studio MTL, which I can't wait to check out when we can! I know that I miss teaching my yoga students in person so much, it hurts. Zoom doesn't convert for me the way live human interaction does, especially for yoga. How has it been for you? How do you feel about cardio vs strength training… what balance is right? Is it ok to just do cardio?  If someone is listening and they haven't made moving their body a priority, where can they start? How do they ease into a life of health and wellbeing? What do you do to relax? When are you at your happiest? When are you at your most vulnerable What would you tell your younger self? Favorite book or podcast? What are you reading and listening to these days? And finally, I ask this one a lot: What's still on your bucket list? About Val Desjardins  Val Desjardins, also known as PUMP Fitness MTL, has devoted the bulk of her career to both creating and embracing an all-encompassing wellness approach. Her 20 years of experience as an athlete, coach, and entrepreneur have greatly contributed to the success of her own brand and to the launch of both her physical and digital spaces in the wellness industry. She is the owner of The Studio MTL, located in Westmount, QC, and, over the last year, she has also launched her own platform, the PUMP Digital Studio.     Val's distinctive PUMP training method, which combines individualized cardio, resistance work and mat pilates, has become infamous and has attracted clients that include celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Pfeiffer and Coeur de Pirate. Ultimately, her approach is about empowering people to embrace a mindful lifestyle which she firmly believes is the path to wellness on all levels.  Links PUMP FITNESS DIGITAL STUDIO PUMP Fitness MTL   Learn More about Your Host Teaching Empowered Living, Erica Diamond is a leading Women's Expert in Lifestyle, Wellness and Empowerment.

Episode 49. I never thought I would be almost 50 episodes into a podcast, but I am glad that I am getting to experience this journey along with all of you great fans! 2020 sucked. I mean, really there's no getting around that. Between COVID, quarantine and everything that's gone along with it. That said, in the same breath you can also say that hockey was REALLY FUN once it returned and the Islanders did really well, making it to the Eastern Conference Final. But, here we are - in January of all months with hockey starting back up. We have seven whole months to enjoy watching hockey, and if we're lucky - talking about hockey here on the Podcast. I have a brand new computer this season, my third doing the podcast. It allows me a ton of flexibility to do things with the podcast I have never done before - audio clips, music and maybe even highlights. Who knows how crazy we'll get here. Regardless, this episode is a primer of sorts - it's to get me into game shape and it'll only get better as we progress. I go into some of the offseason moves (trades and singings) and all the new NHL mandates we are seeing this season as well. Give it a listen, hit me up on Twitter and let me know what we should talk about next episode!

Welcome to Imagine with Us! In this episode, we discuss how we can acknowledge and responsibly steward our grief to give birth to healing. Between COVID illness and loss, distance, loneliness, economic stress, blatant injustice, and environmental catastrophe, so many of us are experiencing distress. The longer we are deprived of psychological and spiritual care, the more we prevent grief from serving as a foundation for the healing transformation of our world.

Buyers, Sellers, these are very emotional times we are living in. Between COVID, lifestyle changes, the upcoming holiday season & more, 2020 has thrown a LOT our way. And while as a realtor I would love your business, be sure your decision to buy or sell is just that - YOUR decision! With all the hype around the seller's market we are in and record low interest rates, it's easy to get caught up in the "SHOULDS" aka you should sell now to maximize profits and you should buy now because of the rates. While that's of course true, just be sure you're ready and working with the right team!  Today's episode is a spontaneous topic I was inspired to bring up because of recent conversations I've been having with sellers who want to maximize the market we are in. So today I wanted to quickly shed some light on 2 topics: In this episode: Pros & Cons of Pricing: Below Market Value + higher interest, faster sale + higher chance of receiving multiple offers - risk selling at lower price At Market Value + low chance of appraisal issues + buyers & agents can recognize fair price + appears on more relevant buyer searches Above Market Value + still a chance of receiving more for the home - takes longer to sell - longer market time leads to questions from prospects - higher chance of it not appraising   FSBO - For Sale By Owner Do you understand all parts of the selling process? Do you have a plan and budget for marketing? Are you prepared for showings? Are you able to qualify a buyer and handle negotiations? Do you know what to do after an offer is accepted? If you have questions, are curious about what your home is worth or want to learn more about the selling process, I highly recommend reaching out to your local realtor! They are there to remove the risk and burned and help you see out your real estate goals!  ------------------------------------------------------ Interested in any of my FREE real estate guides?

Between COVID-19 and innovations in technology, the way we attend events has changed. Virtual trade shows are everywhere now and will linger for the foreseeable future. This week we sat down with our very own marketing manager, Sam Riegsecker, to discuss the topic of trade shows in a modern world dogged by a persistent pandemic. The truth is that many of us had signed up for trade shows. In previous years they could be found sprinkled throughout the Janitorial Manager's schedule for the year. This year many trade shows were either canceled entirely or they took the leap and went virtual. We wanted to sit down and discuss this new world, how you can optimize your experience at a virtual trade show, and how you can decide between virtual and in-person next year.

Between Covid, Trump and our own personal growth journeys, life has been complicated, draining and messy AF lately. As hard as this is, though, it's good because we're learning to be messier, more honest and more real. Doing the work to show up as your authentic self, to love yourself, warts and all, and to embrace vulnerability as a path to connection requires that you let yourself be seen for all of who we are.

Series Finale! Between COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality, a lot has changed in the world since NARAL started recording this podcast. But the Radical Right remains emboldened as the pandemic gives them another opportunity to create a new wedge issue: this time, the act of listening to scientists and public health experts. How do progressives defeat Radical Right extremists in 2020 and safeguard reproductive freedom for the long term? What is our 40-year plan? In this final episode, we talk about how to fight back in November and beyond. We are joined by Stacey Abrams (founder of Fair Fight and Fair Count), Ilyse Hogue (President of NARAL), Ellie Langford (Director of Research at NARAL), Loretta Ross (Author, Professor, and Reproductive Justice activist), Imani Gandy (Senior Editor Legal and Policy, Rewire.News, podcast host: Boom Lawyered), Angelo Carusone (President and CEO of Media Matters), Melissa Ryan (CEO of CARD Strategies and Editor of “Ctrl Alt-Right Delete”), Amanda Marcotte (Senior Politics Writer for Salon), Brianna Wu (Former 2020 Candidate for US House in Massachusetts) Pamela Merritt (Reproductive Justice activist)Based on the book “The Lie that Binds,” by NARAL Pro-Choice America President, Ilyse Hogue, with Ellie Langford, director of research.

When it comes to ethics in nursing, easy answers are hard to come by. ANA's Bioethicist Liz Stokes says that the questions she helps nurses tackle are rarely a case of “wrong vs. right,” but rather “right vs. right,” and her job is to help ANA's members think through those issues in a constructive and ethical way. Between COVID-19 and increasing urgency on conversations around health equity, Liz is fielding more ethical questions than ever these days, and in this episode of The Handoff, she speaks with Dan about what she's hearing.  Liz shares insights into the kinds of ethical dilemmas she's seeing nurses struggle with as a result of COVID-19 and how they are weighing their professional obligations to deliver care against a lack of PPE and other resources. She recommends several resources for nurses working on the frontlines of the pandemic.  Liz and Dan also discuss the intersection of racial justice and the nursing profession, and the tools for nurses who want to avoid health disparities in their own organizations. One surprising insight? While we often talk about the intersection of racism and healthcare as it relates to patients, Liz says she is often asked by ANA members about the racism that they experience from their patients.  You can reach Liz at ethics(at)ana(dot)org Links to recommended reading:  https://asbh.org/ https://www.healthynursehealthynation.org/  https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/work-environment/health-safety/disaster-preparedness/coronavirus/what-you-need-to-know/the-well-being-initiative/ https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/nursing-excellence/ethics/code-of-ethics-for-nurses/ https://www.trustedhealth.com/mental-health  https://www.trustedhealth.com/blog/the-burden-of-caring-the-moral-injury-of-covid-19  The full transcript for this episode can be found here: www.trustedhealth.com/the-handoff-podcast/liz-stokes

Between Covid, politics, and the new life as we know it.. Emotions have taken over

Between COVID and the most recent protests against police brutality, ""how are you?"" is a loaded question right now - especially for Black folks! Imani talks with reporter Priska Neely about the cognitive dissonance of getting check-in texts from her white friends (you can read her essay in The Cut about those texts here: https://www.thecut.com/2020/06/i-dont-need-your-check-in-texts.html), plus how Priska takes care of her mental health while reporting on traumatic events for her job. 

2020 has been a politically charged year. Between Covid 19, the upcoming election, debates about health and safety vs rights and religious freedom, and now the recent murder of George Floyd and the following Black Lives Matter protests, one thing has become clear: our nation is divided. America is caught in a never-ending culture war between left and right, and many on both sides of the divide see the battle as a clear cut case of “good vs evil”. Aaron sits down with Scott Curran, the resident church planter at Park Hill Church, to discuss the deep political divide and how followers of Christ can rise above it, be lights in a dark culture, and make a difference for the Kingdom of God. We hope this conversation is helpful to you as you seek to follow the Way of Jesus in the difficult days we find ourselves in.

We are in the middle of the most evolutionary time of our generation. Between Covid-19 and the recent events in our communities. We are having tough conversations, picking up broken glass, and educating one another. Pain. Education. Change. A New Future. In this special episode of the Bicycle Media Podcast, we speak with Damon Turner, Founder of the Los Angeles Bicycle Academy. Damon shares his thoughts on recent events, about the work he does with the Academy, a youth education program, community bike shop and youth cycling team with a mission to empower, educate and develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills in boys and girls between the ages of 8-18.  He also discusses representation in the cycling industry and the need for equality among athletes, especially the black community who train and deserve it. The road ahead is one we need to take with all of us in the peloton together.
