The move is designed to monitor energy use, enforce tax collection, and stamp out unregistered operations in key mining regions. A separate law, still in draft form, would also allow courts to seize digital assets linked to mining deemed “illegal.” Miners who fail to comply will face fines of up to 2 million rubles (about $22,000). Six regions are already under a full mining ban until 2031. Overall, Russia's new Bitcoin mining registry poses serious risks to financial and civil liberties. By forcing miners to register equipment and comply with rules under threat of asset seizure or closure, the Kremlin gains greater surveillance and control over Bitcoin mining in Russia and offers a potential blueprint for other authoritarian regimes.

Tại thượng đỉnh của khối NATO ngày 25/06/2025, ở La Haye, Hà Lan, các quốc gia thành viên Liên minh phòng thủ Bắc Đại Tây Dương đã quyết định sẽ tăng ngân sách dành cho quốc phòng lên đến 5% GDP/năm trong 10 năm tới. Đe dọa ngày càng lớn từ Nga, nhưng đặc biệt là các áp lực chưa từng có từ chính nước Mỹ « đồng minh » buộc nhiều nước châu Âu phải chấp nhận đưa ra cam kết tài chính đặc biệt nói trên, vốn được coi là vượt xa khả năng thực hiện. Nếu như cam kết 5% được một số nhà quan sát nhìn nhận như là một chuyển biến chiến lược của NATO nói chung, của châu Âu nói riêng, thì không ít người hoài nghi cao độ, coi đây chỉ như một biện pháp mang tính tình thế để đối phó với « đồng minh » Hoa Kỳ ngày càng trở nên khó chơi. Theo một số thẩm định, cam kết 5% tương đương với việc các nước châu Âu sẽ phải chi thêm khoảng 500 tỉ đô la/năm cho quốc phòng trong bối cảnh một số nước châu Âu đang trong khó khăn chồng chất về tài chính. Nhiều nước châu Âu không chấp nhận hy sinh mô hình xã hội hiện có để tăng mạnh chi phí cho quân sự. Các nước châu Âu sẽ xoay sở ra sao với cam kết 5% ? Sườn đông châu Âu sẵn sàng, nhiều nước Tây Âu dè dặt Con đường để đạt được mục tiêu 5% còn rất dài và đầy bất trắc. Trong hiện tại, 32 quốc gia thành viên cam kết chi 2% GDP/năm cho quốc phòng, mục tiêu được đề ra từ năm 2006, và chính thức khẳng định từ năm 2014. Tuy nhiên, theo số liệu của NATO, trong năm 2024, chỉ có 23 trên 32 nước đạt chỉ tiêu 2%. Theo một dữ liệu mới nhất từ ​​Ngân hàng Thế giới năm 2023, chỉ có 10 trên tổng số 32 nước có khả năng thực thi được mục tiêu chung nói trên của NATO đặt ra cho năm 2035. Đọc thêm : Không có Hoa Kỳ liệu châu Âu có thể đối đầu quân sự với Nga ? Khác biệt là rất rõ giữa các nước phía đông châu Âu, giáp với Nga, và nhiều nước ở phía tây. Ba Lan, quốc gia coi Nga như đe dọa nhãn tiền, là nước có khả năng sớm đạt được mục tiêu 5%. Vacxava đã chi 4,1% GDP cho quốc phòng hồi năm ngoái. Các nước Baltic, đơn cử như Estonia với 3,4% GDP, cũng đang nỗ lực hướng đến mục tiêu này. Ngược lại, trong số các nước chi phí dưới 2% cho quốc phòng, có nhiều nước Tây Âu, như Tây Ban Nha, Bỉ, hay Luxembourg. Pháp đứng thứ 19 trong danh sách, với mức cam kết 2% chỉ mới được thực thi vào năm 2025. « Đỉnh Himalaya » khó vượt : Để đạt 5% phải hy sinh nhiều chi phí căn bản khác Mục tiêu 5% cho quốc phòng hiện « chưa gây ra bất kỳ cuộc tranh luận thực sự nào trong giới chính trị Pháp ». Bộ trưởng Quân Lực Pháp, Sébastien Lecornu, trong cuộc trả lời phỏng vấn tờ Le Parisien, Chủ Nhật, 22/06, « hy vọng rằng đây sẽ là trọng tâm của chiến dịch tranh cử tổng thống trong tương lai, bởi vì giai đoạn địa chính trị mà chúng ta đang trải qua sẽ còn kéo dài ». Ưu tiên trước mắt của chính quyền Pháp là thực thi hai đạo luật về ngân sách quốc phòng (LPM - loi de programmation militaire), vốn đã giúp tăng ngân sách của lực lượng vũ trang thêm 56%, từ  2017 đến 2025. Tuy nhiên, việc đạt được mục tiêu 5%, tương đương khoảng 170 tỉ euro, gấp khoảng ba lần so với hiện nay, đòi hỏi phải có một thay đổi lớn hơn nhiều. Trả lời La Croix, người phụ trách Cơ quan Chiến lược và Kế hoạch của chính phủ Pháp, Clément Beaune cho biết, « để thực thi mục tiêu tăng ngân sách quân sự thêm 3,5% vào năm 2030, sẽ phải tăng thêm 10% thuế TVA ». Nhật báo Công giáo Pháp La Croix gọi đây là « đỉnh Himalaya » khó vượt. Ông Clément Beaune cũng muốn dùng sắc thuế Zucman 2%, nhắm vào các tài sản của những người giàu nhất, từ 100 triệu euro trở lên, để cho thấy tầm mức hết sức lớn của khoản tiền cần huy động. Việc đánh thuế Zucman, nếu được tiến hành hàng năm, cũng chỉ mang lại từ 15 đến 25 tỉ euro, và như vậy là hoàn toàn không đủ. Nếu chỉ dựa trên chiếc bánh ngân sách, việc gia tăng ngân sách quân sự sẽ không tránh khỏi « ảnh hưởng đến số tiền phân bổ cho phúc lợi xã hội » và « lương của các công chức ». Mà động chạm đến « mô hình xã hội » cho đến nay vẫn là một chủ đề húy kị. Theo truyền thông Pháp, rất ít lãnh đạo đảng phái sẵn sàng đưa vấn đề này ra thảo luận, do lo ngại tác động đến sự ủng hộ của cử tri. Để huy động được nguồn tài chính khổng lồ nói trên, cần đến các phương thức khác. Cam kết 5% để đối phó với Mỹ hay vì nhu cầu an ninh thực sự ? Cam kết chi 5% GDP cho quốc phòng có phải là nhu cầu thực sự của châu Âu, hay chủ yếu là một phản ứng mang tính tình thế của các nước châu Âu trước áp lực chưa từng có của Mỹ dưới thời Donald Trump, đe dọa cắt bỏ ô bảo trợ an ninh đối với các nước không gia tăng chi phí cho quân sự. Sau thượng đỉnh NATO, truyền thông Bỉ chú ý đến phát biểu của thủ tướng Bart De Wever về trao đổi giữa ông với tổng thống Mỹ : « Ông ấy (Trump) nói rằng ''2% là rất tốt, nhưng tôi cho rằng very low'', tức là rất thấp. Về phần mình, tôi đáp lại ‘‘Đúng, ông cho rằng mức đó là rất thấp, nhưng đó là tiêu chuẩn chi tiêu của khối NATO cho đến nay. Vì vậy, hãy cho phép chúng tôi tăng các chi tiêu theo tốc độ của riêng mình, theo các quyết định độc lập mà mỗi quốc gia thành viên có thể đưa ra''. Như vậy đấy, ông ấy không nói thêm gì về điều đó nữa, nên tôi hy vọng ông ấy hài lòng. Nhưng tôi không chắc lắm ! » Tăng ngân sách quân sự lên 5% không đồng nghĩa với việc toàn bộ số tiền này để dành cho quân đội, để mua vũ khí và trang thiết bị quân sự. Theo thỏa thuận của NATO vừa qua, trong số tiền 5% này, 3,5% sẽ được dành cho chi tiêu thuần túy quân sự, và 1,5% còn lại được dành cho các chi phí liên quan đến an ninh quốc phòng, như an ninh mạng, xây dựng các tuyến đường giao thông, có thể được sử dụng cho mục tiêu quân sự. Xác định đầu tư nào thuộc lĩnh vực 1,5% này tùy thuộc khá nhiều vào mỗi quốc gia. Trang mạng truyền thông Pháp ngữ RTBF, trong bài « 5% du PIB pour l'OTAN, un chiffre, beaucoup d'hypocrisie » (5% GDP của NATO, một con số nhiều phần đạo đức giả), nhận định : « nước Bỉ cũng như nhiều nước khác nói rằng sẽ tôn trọng quy định 5% này, nhưng sẽ không thực hiện. Chắc chắn là sẽ có một thứ đạo đức giả ở đây, nhưng trên thực tế chi phí cho quốc phòng cũng sẽ phải tăng ồ ạt trong những năm tới, như điều Donal Trump muốn ». Báo chí châu Âu, trong đó có nhật báo thiên hữu Le Figaro, nhấn mạnh đến thái độ « quỵ lụy » của « các đồng minh » châu Âu trước « hoàng đế » Donald Trump khi chấp nhận mục tiêu 5% tại thượng đỉnh NATO. Nhiều nhà quan sát dự báo châu Âu sẽ gia tăng mua vũ khí Mỹ. Cơ hội phát triển nền công nghiệp quốc phòng tự chủ của châu Âu Trên thực tế, mục tiêu tăng cường chi phí cho an ninh quốc phòng cũng nằm trong chính nhu cầu của châu Âu. Đặc biệt kể từ khi Nga xâm lược Ukraina, việc tăng cường xây dựng năng lực phòng thủ của châu lục, trong bối cảnh vai trò của nước Mỹ ngày càng thu hẹp, và bất trắc gấp bội phần với chính quyền Donald Trump, khối 27 nước đang ngày càng quyết tâm hơn trong việc tăng cường sức mạnh quân sự của châu Âu, bên trong NATO. Đọc thêm : Tổng thống Pháp kêu gọi châu Âu từ chối « làm chư hầu » « lệ thuộc » vào Mỹ Đầu năm nay, Ủy Ban Châu Âu đã xác lập kế hoạch huy động 150 tỉ euro trên thị trường tài chính, để cung cấp đòn bẩy tài chính cho các quốc gia thành viên, tăng đầu tư vào các lĩnh vực quốc phòng quan trọng, chẳng hạn như phòng thủ tên lửa, drone, hay các trang thiết bị chiến lược khác. Kế hoạch được gọi là « ReArm Europe » (Tái vũ trang châu Âu), mới được đổi tên lại là Chuẩn bị cho chân trời 2030. Việc xây dựng một quân đội chung của châu Âu là chuyện viễn tưởng, nhưng huy động vốn đầu tư mạnh mẽ cho quốc phòng châu Âu, kể cả từ các nguồn đầu tư bên ngoài, là điều nằm trong tầm tay. Trong một cuộc tọa đàm của đài Arte (OTAN : l'UE doit-elle devenir une machine de guerre ? / NATO : Liên Âu phải chăng đang trở thành một cỗ máy chiến tranh ?), nhân dịp thượng đỉnh NATO, nhà kinh tế học Anne-Sophie Alsif, phụ trách văn phòng thẩm định tài chính BDO France, nhận định : « Tôi không thực sự tin tưởng vào một hệ thống phòng thủ châu Âu thống nhất, phản ứng nhanh chóng này, với một quân đội châu Âu, vì chúng ta có những bất đồng chính trị rất đáng kể, với nguyên tắc đồng thuận 100%. Vì vậy, mọi việc sẽ rất phức tạp. Các quốc gia không phải nước nào cũng có cùng ngân sách, lợi ích, và cùng chung một hệ tư tưởng. Vì vậy, mọi việc sẽ rất phức tạp. Mặt khác, trên thực tế, theo tôi, cơ chế hợp tác tùy theo lợi ích này sẽ là phù hợp tương tự, như với các lĩnh vực, như trí tuệ nhân tạo, dân số lão hóa : đó sẽ là sự hợp tác dựa trên lợi ích. Nghĩa là, trên thực tế, các quốc gia, ngay cả khi không thuộc Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, vẫn có thể gia nhập, đầu tư tiền, được hưởng nguồn tài chính ưu đãi và ngược lại, sẽ phải mua các sản phẩm của châu Âu. Thực sự đó là kiểu hợp đồng, một dạng deal, như mọi người nói hiện nay. Khi tham gia, bạn phải thực hiện những gì đã  cam kết, và bạn sẽ được hưởng lợi từ sự bảo vệ và cơ chế này trong trường hợp bị tấn công. Để tham gia cần phải có một tầm nhìn chiến lược chung, đúng vậy, nhưng không có nghĩa là tất cả 27 quốc gia đều có nghĩa vụ phải tham gia. Mỗi quốc gia tự quyết định. Chúng ta đã thấy điều đó khi có sự rút lui phần nào của Mỹ, khi Emmanuel Macron bắt đầu tổ chức một cuộc họp và ông nói rằng : ‘‘Quý vị hãy xem, ai yêu quý chúng tôi sẽ đồng hành với chúng tôi''. Ta thấy rằng, trong bối cảnh này, người Canada có lẽ đã là nước đầu tiên quan tâm, cũng như Vương quốc Anh, cho dù không còn nằm trong Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Vì vậy, điều này sẽ cho phép chúng ta có được sự hợp tác ở phạm vi rộng hơn, linh hoạt hơn và hiệu quả hơn nhiều. » Tiền tiết kiệm, nguồn tài chính dồi dào Kinh tế gia Anne-Sophie Alsif cũng nhấn mạnh đến một nguồn tài chính khác : « Và có một nguồn tài trợ thứ hai, cũng là yếu tố vô cùng cơ bản, chính là tiền tiết kiệm. Tiết kiệm của người Pháp gởi trong ngân hàng rất lớn. Chưa bao giờ số tiền tiết kiệm lại lớn đến như vậy. Trước khi xảy ra Covid, tỷ lệ này vào khoảng 14%, còn hiện tại là đến gần 19%. Cơ quan thống kê quốc gia Pháp INSEE đặt tiêu đề cho một báo cáo về tình hình kinh tế hiện nay là ‘‘Hãy cẩn thận với việc tiết kiệm quá nhiều'', ‘‘chúng ta đã vượt qua Nhật Bản với 19%''. Chúng ta có 3.600 tỷ euro tiền tiết kiệm trong lúc nợ là 3.200. Như vậy chúng ta có nhiều tiền tiết kiệm hơn nợ, và vấn đề là những khoản tiết kiệm này được đầu tư rất ít. Chúng chỉ được dùng để đầu tư vào trái phiếu kho bạc và bất động sản, nhưng rất ít đầu tư vào lĩnh vực sản xuất. Vì vậy, nếu chúng ta chỉ dành một vài phần trăm cho quốc phòng, cũng cho các lĩnh vực khác, chúng ta có thể tìm được nguồn tài trợ. Ngân hàng đầu tư BPI đã thành lập quỹ quốc phòng nhà nước để đáp ứng chuyện này. » Đầu tư cho quốc phòng rất lời nhưng cần một tầm nhìn dài hạn Trả lời báo La Croix, dân biểu đảng Xã Hội Pháp Anna Pic nhấn mạnh đến việc đầu tư cho quốc phòng của từng nước cần đến các công cụ « ở cấp liên chính phủ, cấp độ châu Âu và ở cấp độ NATO ». Trong cuộc tọa đàm với đài Arte về nền quốc phòng của Liên Âu, nhà sử học về quân sự Guillaume Lasconjarias, giám đốc nghiên cứu IHEDN (Viện Nghiên cứu Cấp cao về Quốc phòng) nhấn mạnh đến tầm nhìn dài hạn : « Chúng ta đang trong bối cảnh phải đứng trước các đòi hỏi mâu thuẫn nhau, tuy nhiên, chúng ta vẫn có những cách thức để tiến về phía trước. Đầu tiên là bạn biết về tính hiệu quả của đầu tư. Có nghĩa là, nếu bạn đầu tư nhiều hơn vào quốc phòng châu Âu, mà ở đó nước Pháp vẫn duy trì được nền tảng công nghiệp công nghệ tân tiến. Như vậy, quý vị sẽ có một dạng đầu tư vào quốc phòng. Ví dụ, người ta ước tính cứ đầu tư 1 euro, bạn có thể thu được lợi nhuận từ 2 đến 3 euro. Như vậy, điều này là tốt. Có điều đáng lo ngại là việc này đòi hỏi thời gian. Ví dụ như quý vị có một dây chuyền lắp ráp, bạn sẽ có thể tăng tốc độ sản xuất, nhưng trước tiên bạn phải có được các đơn đặt hàng và các nhà sản xuất phương tiện quốc phòng. Vấn đề đặt ra ở đây là khả năng dự báo để lập kế hoạch. Lo lắng của chúng ta là không biết việc này sẽ kéo dài được bao lâu vì khi bạn tăng tốc độ, bạn sẽ phải đối mặt với vấn đề đào tạo, vấn đề tuyển dụng và sau đó là vấn đề bán hàng. Và đó là một cuộc thảo luận thực sự vì chúng ta không chỉ thực hiện việc này ở cấp quốc gia mà còn ở cấp châu Âu hoặc cấp độ quốc tế ». Cơ hội để Liên Âu có được tiếng nói về « chiến lược » ? Theo nhiều nhà quan sát, việc cam kết đầu tư mạnh hơn hẳn cho an ninh quốc phòng của châu Âu không chỉ để xoa dịu tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump, mà cũng để phục vụ cho chính lợi ích của châu Âu. Vấn đề là việc đầu tư này liên quan ra sao đến mục tiêu thúc đẩy nền công nghiệp quốc phòng của chính châu Âu, và vấn đề « kiến ​​trúc an ninh tập thể » của châu Âu. Đọc thêm - Nửa thế kỷ ''Hiệp định Helsinki'': Chiến tranh Ukraina xóa sổ "Kiến trúc an ninh châu Âu" Nguyên lãnh đạo ngoại giao Liên Âu, người Tây Ban Nha, Joseph Borell (2019-2024), cựu chủ tịch Nghị Viện Châu Âu, được coi là người nỗ lực thúc đẩy việc tăng cường tiềm lực quốc phòng của khối khi tại nhiệm, trong một hội nghị về tương lai quốc phòng châu Âu tại Chantilly (Pháp), tổ chức cùng dịp với thượng đỉnh NATO vừa qua (có sự tham gia của bộ trưởng Quân lực Pháp) đã lên án mạnh mẽ thái độ « chư hầu » của khối 27 nước chấp thuận chính sách tăng chi 5% GDP cho quốc phòng, theo đòi hỏi của Trump (Tây Ban Nha là nước duy nhất trong Liên Âu không chấp thuận mục tiêu 5% dưới áp lực của Mỹ). Joseph Borell nhấn mạnh đến quan điểm « đế quốc » của chính quyền Mỹ thời Donald Trump hoàn toàn trùng khớp với chính sách của nước Nga Putin, và « châu Âu trong một thời gian dài đã là một xứ sở nằm dưới sự bảo trợ của Mỹ ». Gia tăng chi phí cho an ninh tập thể, liệu tiếng nói của các nước châu Âu sẽ có trọng lượng hơn trong tương lai hay không, trong các đàm phán chiến lược với Nga, thực thể địa chính trị được coi là đối thủ hiện nay ?

NEXE Innovations has announced a significant commercial milestone with over 700,000 compostable coffee pods ordered in May 2025, highlighting strong demand from three customers across North America. This surge in purchase orders reflects accelerating adoption of NEXE's BPI-certified compostable pod technology, a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic and aluminum single-serve formats. President Ash Guglani shared the update in an interview with Steve Darling of Proactive, noting that this latest batch of orders comes in addition to the more than 1.7 million pods NEXE has produced since November 2024. Among the key developments is a new partnership with Crazy Cups, a popular U.S.-based coffee brand known for its bold, dessert-inspired flavors like White Chocolate Strawberry, Cinnamon French Toast, and Amaretto Almond Kringle. The initial order from Crazy Cups includes 20 flavored SKUs, marking NEXE's largest engagement in the flavored coffee category to date. Crazy Cups is affiliated with EKOCUPS, an existing high-volume customer of NEXE and a prominent online and Amazon retailer. This relationship not only strengthens NEXE's foothold in the flavored single-serve market, but also enhances its direct-to-consumer reach, especially in the competitive U.S. e-commerce space. Looking ahead, Guglani confirmed that NEXE is currently developing an additional 20 new SKUs across its customer base—including 14 more for Crazy Cups—as part of a broader innovation roadmap. These new offerings are expected to support both product diversification and customer growth initiatives. Beyond expanding its product portfolio, NEXE is also making strategic operational moves to strengthen its North American supply chain and enhance profitability. The company remains on track to launch its next-generation, compostable Nespresso® OriginalLine-compatible pods later this year, a move that will allow NEXE to further tap into the premium pod market. #proactiveinvestors #nexeinnovationsinc #tsxv #nexe #otc #nexnf #Sustainability #CoffeePods #EcoFriendlyProducts #Manufacturing #PatentTechnology #StrategicPartnerships #AshGuglani #ProactiveInvestors #GreenTechnology

Il investit les 6000 m2 du niveau 2 de la Bibliothèque publique d'information (Bpi) et y opère une transformation de l'espace qui met en dialogue son oeuvre avec la bibliothèque, envisagée à la fois comme architecture et comme lieu de transmission du savoir.L'exposition retrace près de 40 ans de création artistique et embrasse l'ensemble de la pratique de Tillmans. Elle propose une coupe transversale dans son oeuvre photographique, dont l'accrochage ne suit pas une logique chronologique mais s'élabore en dialogue avec l'architecture du lieu. En parallèle, l'artiste y incorpore vidéos, musique, son, ainsi qu'un vaste corpus d'imprimés et d'objets personnels issus de sa propre collection. Jouant avec l'infrastructure de la bibliothèque, il met en lumière les analogies entre son travail et ce lieu particulier de savoir et de diversité sociale. Plus que jamais, Tillmans intervient dans l'espace – un geste caractéristique de ses projets depuis le milieu des années 1990 – transformant les dispositifs existants et imaginant de nouvelles formes de présentation. L'artiste conçoit ainsi une installation globale, qui réinvente la manière dont la photographie est exposée.[...]Le catalogue de l'expositionWolfgang Tillmans Rien ne nous y préparait – Tout nous y préparait, Sous la direction de Florian Ebner et Olga Frydryszak-Rétat – Édition Centre PompidouPublication – Wolfgang Tillmans Textes.

Episode Notes This special Pride Month episode of Sunday Edition brought together a powerful panel of voices from our LGBTQIA+ community and allies to discuss a topic that feels more urgent than ever: why Pride still matters, now more than ever. Host Anthony Corona was joined by four incredible panelists: Gabriel Lopez Kafati Tristan Snyder Margot Downey Brynn Lowden Together, we explored the heart of Pride—what it means, how far we've come, and what we're still fighting for. From celebration to protest, from visibility to vulnerability, our panelists reminded us why Pride is not just a party—it's a promise. Key topics included: Why Pride remains essential in 2025 How anti-LGBTQIA+ laws and rhetoric are affecting our most vulnerable The importance of staying vigilant, staying safe, and staying visible How we can reach into our history of advocacy and remix those lessons for today's landscape The symbolic and symbiotic connection between joy and resistance We celebrated our triumphs, acknowledged the ongoing struggles, and centered the importance of unity across identity, gender, ability, and experience. While this episode centered voices from across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, we also highlighted the essential role of our strong, straight, and steadfast allies. There is a seat at the table for everyone who comes with love, comes with pride, and is ready to speak truth to power.

Resilience is the new currency of leadership. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than facts, brands, leaders, and governments are being tested like never before. In this episode of Change Makers, we speak to Ben LaBolt, former White House Communications Director and now President at BPI. With experience spanning the West Wing, City Hall, and global boardrooms, Ben shares insights into how organisations can navigate today's fractured media landscape. At the heart of our conversation is BPI's Resilience Index - groundbreaking research revealing what separates the brands that survive and thrive from those left vulnerable to misinformation and public mistrust. Drawing on lessons from politics and the private sector, Ben offers a blueprint for how leaders can strengthen their communications and build lasting reputational resilience.

Over the years, American colleges and universities have made various efforts to provide prisoners with access to education. However, few of these outreach programs presume that incarcerated men and women can rise to the challenge of a truly rigorous college curriculum. The Bard Prison Initiative is different.In his book, College in Prison: Reading in an Age of Mass Incarceration (Rutgers University Press, 2017), Daniel Karpowitz chronicles how, since 2001, Bard College has provided hundreds of incarcerated men and women across the country access to a high-quality liberal arts education. Earning degrees in subjects ranging from Mandarin to advanced mathematics, graduates have, upon release, gone on to rewarding careers and elite graduate and professional programs. Yet this is more than just a story of exceptional individuals triumphing against the odds. It is a study in how the liberal arts can alter the landscape of some of our most important public institutions giving people from all walks of life a chance to enrich their minds and expand their opportunities.Drawing on fifteen years of experience as a director of and teacher within the Bard Prison Initiative, Daniel Karpowitz tells the story of BPI's development from a small pilot project to a nationwide network. At the same time, he recounts dramatic scenes from in and around college-in-prison classrooms pinpointing the contested meanings that emerge in moments of highly-charged reading, writing, and public speaking. Through examining the transformative encounter between two characteristically American institutions—the undergraduate college and the modern penitentiary—College in Prison makes a powerful case for why liberal arts education is still vital to the future of democracy in the United States. Interviewee: Daniel Karpowitz has worked on public and private sector systems change for over twenty-five years. He is the former director of policy and academics for the Bard Prison Initiative and the cofounder of the Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, an organization that launches and cultivates college-in-prison programs across the country.

Episode Notes One of Pride Connection's most inspiring and thought-provoking conversations was with then-Senate aide Laurel Hilbert—a shining example of courage, conviction, and the strength of the human spirit. In this episode, we revisit Laurel's extraordinary journey: from leaving his home country of Syria, to his time in Saudi Arabia, to arriving in the United States knowing only a few words of English—but armed with drawings, dreams, and unstoppable determination. Laurel speaks passionately about the universal truths of democracy, the resilience of the human condition, and what becomes possible when we align our spirit and purpose. But this conversation isn't just about where he's been—it's also about where he's going. Since the passing of his mentor and friend, the late Senator Dianne Feinstein—whom many of us remember as a fighter for justice and democracy—Laurel has taken time away from politics and even from the United States. In this deeply personal update, he shares his own version of an Eat, Pray, Love journey: finding love, learning how to live within grief, and reconnecting with his purpose. Now studying for finals and preparing for the LSAT, Laurel took time out of his busy schedule to reconnect with us, reflect on where life has taken him, and share why he still believes in the future of this country, our intersectional communities, and humanity itself. This powerful and timely episode is a reminder that strength comes in many forms—and that hope, when nurtured, can carry us through even the darkest times. Have thoughts or questions?

In this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser interview Jake Yurek, the co-founder of Pearl Edison, a platform designed to simplify the installation of energy-efficient systems for homeowners and contractors. Jake shares the origins of the company's name, inspired by Thomas Edison's first power station on Pearl Street, and explains how Pearl Edison partners with trusted entities like utilities and city governments to facilitate HVAC installations. Their approach aims to reduce customer acquisition costs for contractors while improving the decision-making process for homeowners.

Join Marquette as she interviews Eric Bennett,Managing Partner at Brain Capital Partners. Eric launched Brain Capital Partners and the Brain Superfund in 2025 to invest in brain science venture and growth capital. The Brain Superfund will focus on investing in companies in the areas of mental health and related disorders, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries such as concussions and strokes, health and wellness to enhance mental health and brain performance, and longevity. Companies will include those that offer new drugs and other therapeutics, neuro technology and devices, diagnostics, digital health, and clinical access. By investing in innovative companies with proven science, we aim to accelerate the development of breakthrough treatments and technologies that improve the quality of life and brain performance. The Fund's goal is to provide strong investment returns for our investors and make a meaningful societal impact.Eric began working with John Tolleson's single-family office in 1998 before co-founding Tolleson Wealth Management in 2000. He was Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Investment Committee, and Board Member, growing the firm from 3 people to 150.Eric's passion for brain science was accelerated in 2013, when he left Tolleson to become the founding Executive Director of the Brain Performance Institute (BPI) at the Center for BrainHealth – part of The University of Texas at Dallas. BPI focused on scaling evidence-based cognitive neuroscience programs and assessments, developed at the Center for BrainHealth, to larger populations. He was on the advisory board at the Center for BrainHealth for ten years and joined full-time in 2013 in a leadership role to build and grow BPI. Under his leadership, BPI secured over $105,000,000 in funding, grew to over 35 people, built a new facility to provide services, including an fMRI center, and reached over 50,000 people in their evidence-based programs.After a planned succession to a new Executive Director at BPI in 2017, Eric re-joined Tolleson Wealth Management as Chief Investment Officer, where he managed $10 Billion in portfolios. During this time, he led investments of over $400 Million in over 20 funds and co-investments in healthcare and biotech. He transitioned out of Tolleson in early 2025 to launch Brain Capital Partners.Eric remains involved with the Center for BrainHealth Board, as well as other health care organizations including the Meadows Mental Health Institute, the Brain Capital Alliance, the Baylor Healthcare Foundation Board, Health Wildcatters, and Impact Shares.Eric began his career with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in 1987 after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance with honors from the University of Missouri. He later joined Ernst & Young, where he served as Senior Manager for private clients and led the firm's DFW Investment Advisory Services team.Eric is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Certified Public Accountant (CPA). He is also an operating partner with Satori Capital and a member of Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), having served on the executive board of his YPO chapter for four years. He formerly served on the investment committees for the Baylor University Endowment, the Dallas Symphony Foundation, and Communities Foundation of Texas in addition to serving on the boards of several private companies, including financial services, retail, and media industries. *Please note that this discussion is not an offer or solicitation to invest in any fund or other security.

Porque não estou disponível para fazer parte do circo”, afirmou João Pedro Oliveira e Costa, presidente do BPI neste podcast ‘O Mistério das Finanças', conduzido pelos jornalistas António Costa e Pedro Santos Guerreiro.

The following was a clip from a recent presentation, where I discuss the importance of data in improvement (seems obvious, yet not always present). I also share the unique situation that happened in the 1948 Presidential Election when polling data was biased towards the candidate that lost. As I dug deeper into this story, I don't see where they specifically mention the phone, but there was a problem with the accuracy of the polling. It also mentions that Truman was gaining momentum late in the election, and that wasn't reflected in the polls. Nonetheless, the Chicago Tribune ran their infamous headline that Dewey had won the election, when Truman actually won.You can learn more about that strange election at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_United_States_presidential_electionLearn more about BPI 7 Continuous Improvement Best Practices: ⁠https://mail.biz-pi.com/lss-best-practices-funnel⁠ Need help in your organization, or want to discuss your current work situation?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk!

Tony Smotherman is known as the foremost expert in the world of muzzleloaders and muzzleloader hunting. He is also a dear friend and someone that is admired in the outdoor industry. Some of many hats include "director of influencer relations" for BPI outdoors the parent company for CVA, Bergara, Powerbelt, Durasight and Quake Slings.  In this episode we focus the discussion on muzzleloading projectiles and  black powders and powder substitutes (Blackhorn 209). With the advancements of powders and projectiles in the muzzleloading world, we felt this show should help the listener decide on which to use and when to use them.  Tony also has had some recent life changes that he shares with us and how his faith has helped him to handle these changes and how he has drawn on his faith to help him through these events.    www.cva.com  www.taurususa.com www.birddogcoffeebeans.com www.himtnjerky.com www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com  www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org  

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss Jonathan Givony's fresh Top 100 for the 2025 NBA Draft class, which has Duke's Cooper Flagg ranked #1. Flagg has been the consensus number one for awhile, despite being a 17-years-old freshman at Duke. Is he the prospect with superstar potential the Bulls desperately need? ESPN's first BPI rankings of the season dropped and the Bulls are surprisingly projected for 38 wins. Is the projection higher than it should be given the roster changes? Or are the Bulls going to be better than most expect? If they are that good, does that risk the chance of drafting Flagg or another high lottery pick? Matt and Will break it down on this edition of the CHGO Bulls Podcast.
