Eric welcomes Council on Foreign Relations President Mike Froman to discuss CFR's latest task force report on U.S. economic security. They explore the importance of AI, quantum computing and biotechnology as foundational technologies in today's strategic competition, the effort that China is investing in these technologies, and the market failures that have led the U.S. to underinvest in quantum and biotech. The conversation also covers supply chain vulnerabilities, human capital shortfalls in key areas of technology, and the tension in the Trump administration's effort to address China's growing technological dominance while simultaneously cutting funding for basic research at the NSF, NIH, and other institutions.

In this episode, we're joined by Chris McGuire for a conversation about AI and semiconductor export controls. We begin by discussing Chris' career path into AI and national security (1:55), then turn to his views on recent developments, including reports about a Chinese EUV prototype (11:07). We spend the rest of the episode rating common arguments against AI export controls as fact, fiction, or somewhere in-between (40:25).   Chris is a Senior Fellow for China and Emerging Technologies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a leading expert on U.S.-China AI competition. Before joining CFR, he served as a career government official for over a decade, including as Deputy Senior Director for Technology and National Security at the National Security Council (NSC) from 2022 to 2024. Links to some of Chris' recent work, as discussed in the podcast, are included below.   China's AI Chip Deficit: Why Huawei Can't Catch Nvidia and U.S. Export Controls Should Remain   Testimony on Strengthening Export Controls on Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment

2025 felt like a year when everything became more and harder. More crises. More fear. More civic strain. More communities under pressure. And yet – more leadership, too. In this episode, Glennda connects with Darlene Nipper, President of the Rockwood Leadership Institute, for a grounded look at what leadership truly looked like in 2025. Darlene shares what she and her team witnessed across the country: communities organizing, mutual-aid volunteers pivoting to meet urgent needs, families creating rapid-response communication networks, and leaders of small organizations adapting and strategizing for the future. This wasn't leadership from the podium. It was leadership from the sidewalk, school hallway, boardroom, and living room. Together, Glennda and Darlene talk about what broke, what held, and what grew stronger this year:  How democracy became a shared responsibility, not just a political concept What “leading from the inside out” looks like in high-pressure environments Why the long view and the short view have to coexist What nonprofit leaders need to prioritize amid uncertainty And through it all, one truth kept surfacing: leadership is no longer reserved for the chosen few. It is happening everywhere, often in people who never expected to step into the role. Whether you lead a nonprofit, neighborhood group, faith community, or simply your own family, this episode offers clarity on what your leadership means right now, and what it needs next. TUNE IN TO LEARN: How 2025 redefined who counts as a leader: This year showed us that leadership doesn't just come from titles or org charts – neighbors, parents, volunteers, and everyday people stepped in where systems fell short. Why democracy became a litmus test for leadership this year: In 2025, leaders weren't just asked to run programs. They were asked to choose whether to protect democratic values or remain silent as they eroded. How easy on-ramps – rather than professional gatekeeping – brought more people into meaningful action: Grassroots movements gained momentum because people could simply show up, proving accessibility is what fuels community power. What nonprofit leaders need to prioritize amid uncertainty: From pivoting quickly to listening deeply, this episode breaks down the practices that helped organizations stay grounded and effective. How leaders are thinking ahead while addressing immediate crises: Even while navigating fires, funding losses, and political turmoil, visionary leaders shifted into long-view strategy – imagining a future they may never personally see. KEY QUOTES: “I think this notion of leadership is this far-off behavior or category of people that's not us, totally is a thing, you know, and it's like – no, actually it is all of us.” - Darlene Nipper “I do think this moment is calling a lot of people into leadership in ways that are really motivating.” - Glennda Testone “So money should not be a problem. You know? That should not even be an issue. If we believe in the work, we need to give it away is such a level that people are just not even leaders are not even thinking about where the money is going to come from.” - Darlene Nipper “Listen to your constituents, your community, your people, and come out with what you know, because your role, your place, your space is very unique to you and the work that you're doing.” - Darlene Nipper ABOUT GUEST: With over 25 years of leadership and advocacy experience, Darlene Nipper joined Rockwood as a trainer in 2012 and now serves as CEO. Darlene's knowledge of the challenges facing leaders and the practices required for effective leadership is informed by her own background at a range of organizations. She has held key leadership roles in nonprofit and social justice organizations, as well as city government and foundations.  Darlene previously served as the executive director of the BET Foundation, and as the chief operating officer at National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), during which time she founded NAMI's Multicultural and International Policy Center. She is the former director of LGBT Affairs in the Executive Office of the Mayor of D.C., and the 2024-25 Visiting Senior Fellow for Movement Infrastructure and Explorations at the Freedom Together Foundation. A native Washingtonian, Darlene is an ordained interfaith minister, and practices mindfulness meditation, deep presence, and living joy.

Before the citations. Before the regulations. Before the arguments—there's people. In the first-ever Safe Word segment of Mining Minds, Grover sits down with longtime mentor, former MSHA inspector, and no-nonsense safety professional Jim Hoover to have the conversations most safety meetings never do. This episode strips away the myths, the fear, and the finger-pointing around mining safety and replaces them with something better: honesty, experience, and critical thinking. They break down what MSHA actually does (and doesn't do), why citations aren't cash grabs, and how perception, personality, and human judgment shape every inspection. From the difference between being compliant and being truly safe, to why asking why matters more than memorizing the 30 CFR, this episode is about understanding safety—not weaponizing it. You'll hear real stories from the pit and the inspector's side, hard lessons learned early in a career, and why building relationships—rather than hiding when inspectors show up—can make operations safer for everyone. Brass in—join the conversation and be a part of The Safe Word.   Chapters: 01:50 Why This Safety Conversation Started 02:41 Opinion, Experience, and Inviting Disagreement 07:52 Mining Safety Myths: Do Inspectors Get Paid for Citations? 10:55 The Human Element of Inspections 13:26 Understanding the 30 CFR and Asking "Why" 17:48 Real-World Example 22:34 Regional Differences and Interpretation of Standards 29:05 Inspectors as a Resource, Not the Enemy 35:32 Recognizing Good Work and Building Safety Culture

In this episode of the ASC Podcast with John Goehle we discuss the latest news, review common infection control and sanitary environment issues in ASCs and in our focus segment, discuss Navigating the Complexities of ASC Billing and Coding with Bob Lathrop from SIS.   This episode is sponsored by Surgical Information Systems,    Notes and Resources from this Episode: Cost pressures that battered ASCs in 2025: https://www.beckersasc.com/asc-transactions-and-valuation-issues/the-cost-pressures-that-battered-ascs-in-2025/?origin=ASCE&utm_source=ASCE&utm_medium=email&utm_content=newsletter&oly_enc_id=5567B4088734C3Z Focus on Sanitary Environment and Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) in ASC Surveys Sanitary environment and IPC issues consistently rank among the top deficiencies in ambulatory surgery center (ASC) accreditation and certification surveys, making this a critical "hot issue" for 2025 and beyond. These citations directly impact patient safety by increasing risks of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and they appear frequently across major accreditors like CMS, AAAHC, and ACHC. For context: In AAAHC's 2025 Quality Roadmap (released September 2025), IPC remains a persistent top challenge, with deficiencies cited in nearly 90% of surveys for ASCs and office-based surgery settings. ACHC's November 2025 survey data highlights sanitary environment lapses (e.g., sanitation issues, incomplete policies) as a leading deficiency, often tied to inconsistent implementation of hand hygiene, glove techniques, and environmental cleaning. Historical CMS data shows patterns holding into recent years, with "Sanitary Environment" and "Infection Control Program" among the most cited, stemming from failures in basic practices like cleaning, sterilization, and safe injection protocols. These issues often arise from documentation gaps, staff inconsistencies, or overlooked details during busy operations, even in high-performing centers. Key Regulatory Requirements The foundation for sanitary environment and IPC in ASCs is CMS Conditions for Coverage (CfC) at 42 CFR § 416.51, which applies to Medicare-certified ASCs and influences other accreditors (deemed status via AAAHC, ACHC, etc.). Standard: Sanitary Environment (§ 416.51(a)): The ASC must provide a functional and sanitary environment for surgical services, avoiding sources and transmission of infections by adhering to professionally accepted standards (e.g., CDC, AORN, APIC guidelines). Standard: Infection Control Program (§ 416.51(b)): Maintain an ongoing, coordinated program to prevent, control, and investigate infections/communicable diseases. This includes: Designation of a qualified professional (e.g., infection preventionist) to oversee the program. Annual risk assessment to identify infection risks. Integration of nationally recognized guidelines (CDC core practices are mandatory if no other evidence-based standards apply). Policies for hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, sterilization/high-level disinfection (HLD), safe injection practices, and point-of-care devices.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/NCUA has launched a new Deregulation and Simplification Project, signaling a shift toward clearer, more flexible rules—without weakening safety and soundness.In this episode of With Flying Colors, Mark Treichel breaks down the four proposed regulatory changes released by NCUA and explains what they mean in practice for credit unions, boards, and exam preparation.Rather than a wholesale rewrite, this package focuses on clarity, structure, and regulatory housekeeping—especially around audits, corporate credit union governance, and cybersecurity guidance.Key topics covered:Updates to Supervisory Committee audit rules (Part 715)Technical and governance clarifications for corporate credit unionsWhy cybersecurity guidance is moving out of regulation and into Letters to Credit UnionsWhat's not changing—despite the headlinesHow this project fits into broader NCUA budget and structural discussionsMark also shares perspective on why moving guidance out of the CFR matters—and what credit unions should (and shouldn't) do next.More regulatory developments are coming fast, including NCUA's upcoming board meeting and budget discussions. Stay tuned.

Andrew Robinson is not one of those writers. The transplanted New Englander has built a remarkably diverse career spanning children's books, time travel fantasy, screenplays, and television—with projects produced everywhere from Central Florida to Poland to Turkey.Andrew is currently focused on his time travel fantasy series that began with Worst Date, Greatest Adventure, published by Champagne Book Group. Similar to the popular Outlander series, the book and its sequel Worst Date, Greatest Challenge blend romance, history, and fantasy. He's now working on the third installment.Andrew's also making waves in the vampire genre with Vampire Academia—and he's quick to clarify it's nothing like Twilight. The book resonated enough that Champagne Book Group requested a sequel, proving there's appetite for fresh takes on supernatural themes.Beyond novels, Robinson's screenwriting credits span continents. His work has been produced by companies in the U.S., Poland, Iran, and Turkey. His rom-com A Vagabond's Chaotic Life and Cannabis Queen: The Elvy Musikka Story were both presented by All the Line Studio in Orlando.Andrew's dedication extends beyond his own writing. He now leads the Orlando/Maitland Chapter of the Florida Writers' Association, supporting other writers in their journeys. His focus on strong female protagonists comes from a personal place—his daughter inspires many of his determined heroines.To learn more about the topics discussed, or to contact Andrew directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur les moyens militaires européens face à la Russie, le redécoupage électoral au Texas et la question des avoirs russes gelés. Mali : une coalition clandestine peut-elle ébranler la junte ?   Exilé depuis 2023 en Algérie, l'imam Mahmoud Dicko a pris la tête d'une plateforme d'opposition clandestine. Décrite comme non violente, la Coalition des forces pour la République (CFR) est destinée à contester la junte malienne. Quelle est sa feuille de route ? L'imam Dicko est-il encore en capacité de mobiliser ? Comment peut-il piloter à distance ce nouveau mouvement ? Avec Serge Daniel, correspondant régional de RFI sur le Sahel.     Défense : en cas de guerre, l'Europe a-t-elle les moyens de se défendre face à la Russie ?   Dans un rapport publié par l'Institut français des relations internationales, les experts dressent un panorama des moyens militaires européens et russes. Il en ressort qu'en cas de confrontation, l'Europe bénéficie d'une nette supériorité dans les airs et sur les mers. Sur quels éléments s'appuie cette étude ? Si les pays européens ont vraiment un avantage militaire, pourquoi donc insistent-ils pour se réarmer ? Avec Franck Alexandre, journaliste spécialiste des questions de défense à RFI.     États-Unis : le redécoupage électoral permettra-t-il à Trump de remporter les élections de l'année prochaine ?  La Cour suprême des États-Unis a autorisé le Texas à reconfigurer la carte électorale. Cette manœuvre devrait permettre aux Républicains de reprendre cinq sièges aux Démocrates à la Chambre des représentants lors des élections de mi-mandat, en novembre 2026. Cette décision peut-elle influencer les résultats à l'échelle du pays ? D'autres États vont-ils, à leur tour, envisager un découpage électoral partisan ? Avec Ludivine Gilli, directrice de l'Observatoire de l'Amérique du Nord de la Fondation Jean Jaurès.     Guerre en Ukraine : pourquoi la France hésite à utiliser les avoirs russes gelés ?   On savait la Belgique opposée mais, selon une enquête du journal économique britannique Financial Times, la France est également réticente à utiliser les 18 milliards d'euros actifs russes gelés dans ses banques commerciales pour aider l'Ukraine. Comment expliquer cette hésitation ? Avec Ulrich Bounat, analyste géopolitique, chercheur-associé chez Euro Créative.

Dr. Yuan Li, Director of Medical Business at DQS and a former medical device auditor with deep expertise across orthopaedic manufacturing and regulatory systems.In this episode, we discuss the sweeping regulatory transition coming to the U.S. with the introduction of the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), which formally aligns 21 CFR Part 820 with ISO 13485. Yuan unpacks what this shift means for U.S.-based manufacturers, why FDA is phasing out the QSR audit model and why contract manufacturers and software-based device firms are particularly vulnerable if they delay planning.We also explore the growing use of AI in QMS platforms, the pitfalls of template-driven compliance, and why “regulatory fatigue” is no excuse when patients' lives are at stake. From post-market surveillance strategies to paperless QMS migrations and the validation grey zone, Yuan offers pragmatic, deeply informed advice for those navigating FDA audits, ISO certification and international expansionTimestamps[00:02:36] Why QMSR is a Big Deal for U.S. Manufacturers[00:04:09] Key Differences Between 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485[00:05:09] Why Companies Wait Too Long to Comply[00:07:19] Impact on Contract Manufacturers and Supply Chains[00:08:36] Do You Really Need ISO 13485 Certification?[00:10:18] AI-Generated QMS Systems: Useful or Risky?[00:11:52] Most Memorable Audit Story: Iterative Design Gone Wrong[00:14:46] How to Spot Proactive vs Reactive Post-Market Surveillance[00:17:03] Why Software Companies Struggle with The Regulatory Mindset[00:20:57] What Validation Really Means Under ISO 13485Connect with Yuan - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuan-li-phd-3bb14013/Learn more about DQS - ⁠https://www.dqsglobal.com/en/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast

La Coalition des forces pour la République – le CFR – avec à sa tête  l'Imam Mahmoud Dicko, ancien président du Haut Conseil islamique espère un retour à l'ordre constitutionnel. Quelles sont les autres figures du mouvement qui prône un dialogue avec les groupes armés ? Étienne Fakaba Sissoko, Porte-parole de la coalition était notre invité.

Send us a textHeadlines say the VA system is broken and rife with abuse. Our conversation with Marine veteran Clayton Sims tells a different story—one grounded in lived experience, policy fluency, and a community-first approach to getting claims right without fear or costly consultants.Clayton shares how a rough transition and a hurried VSO visit pushed him to learn the language of 38 CFR and the evidence behind service connection. We unpack the realities of infantry life—miles in boots under load, daily wear that wrecks feet, ankles, and backs—and why conditions like flat feet and sleep apnea aren't punchlines, they're predictable outcomes. We also go deeper than combat. MST, toxic command climates, uneven medical boards, and administrative limbo can all drive mental health injuries that are real and compensable when documented properly.We cut through the noise about “rampant fraud” with data: far fewer veterans file than most assume, and only a portion reach 100 percent. The bigger problem is confusion. Clayton maps the routes that actually win—direct, secondary, aggravation, presumptive, MUCMI—and the kinds of evidence that matter: deployment health assessments, awards narratives, buddy statements, specialty opinions, and clear medical links. He explains how CivDiv helps veterans self-advocate or meet VSOs prepared, flipping the script on an industry that profits from complexity.If you've felt overwhelmed by forms and jargon, you'll walk away with a clearer path and a stronger mindset. And beyond claims, Clayton leaves a vital reminder: don't isolate. Find your circle—online, at a VFW, through church, or with a few trusted friends—because community can save time, money, and lives.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a veteran who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest question about VA claims.

Today, U.S. economic leadership is at a crossroads. An overconcentration of critical supply chains in China, underinvestment in important sectors at home, and strategic competition over the next generation of foundational technologies has exposed vulnerabilities in U.S. economic security.    In its new report, U.S. Economic Security: Winning the Race for Tomorrow's Technologies, the CFR Task Force on Economic Security addresses U.S. economic security risks and offers practical recommendations for mobilizing the resources needed to prevail.   This Task Force is part of RealEcon: Reimagining American Economic Leadership, a CFR initiative of the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies.   Background Reading: This CFR Task Force Report finds that strategic competition over the world's next generation of foundational technologies is underway, and U.S. advantages in artificial intelligence, quantum, and biotechnology are increasingly contested.   Host: Greg Ip, Chief Economics Commentator and Deputy Economics Editor, Wall Street Journal   Guests: Jonathan E.

In this episode, we expose the unsettling rise of transhumanism—the global elite's plan to merge man with machine and rewrite creation itself. From DARPA's brain-interface projects to Klaus Schwab's “Fourth Industrial Revolution” and Ray Kurzweil's promise of digital immortality, the push to transcend God's design has never been more blatant. We trace the spiritual roots of this movement—the same lie from Eden that “ye shall be as gods”—and reveal how it connects to modern biotech, AI, and the manipulation of human and agricultural seed. This isn't science fiction; it's the seed war of our generation. The battle lines are drawn between the image of God and the image of the machine—and only one kingdom will stand.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comReferences: Ray Kurzweil, The Singularity Is Near  Julian Huxley, Transhumanism  World Economic Forum, “The Great Reset” DARPA, Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3)  Neuralink Whitepaper, “An Integrated Brain-Machine Interface Platform Psalm 139:14; Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:5; Proverbs 20:27 (KJV) Nick Bostrom, Superintelligence  Oxford Future of Humanity Institute publications Google Calico corporate filings  Human 2.0 – The Future of Sense Making https://youtu.be/xttBHcXZGM8?si=3ggAL1fvhf4P0i7L Peter Thiel on Transhumanism and the Future of Humanity https://youtu.be/YSp07P8jvYs?si=YUe2wvwdu6LJHpTI
