EP. 1513: Filmmaker Joseph Sauchelli (THE COMMUTER)

THE COMMUTER, 11min., USA Directed by Joseph Sauchelli A protagonist struggles to cope with a rough commute in the only way she knows how. Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? Really the urge to make something, particularly for cheap. When you know you are going to go down that route, you begin looking around at what you can use for free. Hoboken has this old fashioned train station I always admired and found cinematic, so I began to build a story around it. With college and my job I have commuted for quite some time, so I tried to bring that experience to this film – which immediately turned into a stressful thriller. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? The idea for “The Commuter” is several years old, however it took some time to feel ready and finally take the step towards making the movie myself. As I reflect on the finished product a lesson I have taken away is that no one is ever really ready to make a film, and it is a risky mindset to subscribe to. On one hand you want to make sure your script and pre-production planning is to the best it could be, however you must be careful not to lean on the excuse that “it's not ready” like a crutch.

Half of people with mental disabilities or developmental disabilities in Japan have experienced problems using trains, but only 10% have requested reasonable accommodation from train staff, according to a survey conducted by the mental disability group Polke on May 2nd. The revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, which came into force in April 2024, requires private businesses, including trains, to provide reasonable accommodation, but the survey report points out that only 10% of people have requested reasonable accommodation, which is a "very serious problem." It recommended that training for disabled people's organizations and train staff to learn together needs to be improved.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 20th of May and here are the headlines.1. India's Global Anti-Terror Diplomacy DriveIndia has launched a major diplomatic outreach, sending seven multi-party delegations to 32 countries to highlight its fight against terrorism, particularly from Pakistani soil. Briefed by the Ministry of External Affairs, the teams will explain India's military response after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. PM Modi framed the doctrine as part of a global anti-terror campaign, stating there will be zero tolerance for terror sheltered by “nuclear blackmail.” The goal: convince the world not to equate India, a terror victim, with Pakistan, a terror perpetrator.2. TMC Replaces Yusuf Pathan With Abhishek BanerjeeAfter initially rejecting the Centre's move to include Yusuf Pathan in its foreign outreach delegations, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has nominated Abhishek Banerjee instead. The switch came after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju spoke to TMC chief Mamata Banerjee. Abhishek, the party's general secretary, will now join the anti-terror diplomatic push. Separately, TMC is sending its own delegation, led by Manas Bhunia, to Jammu and Kashmir to support victims of cross-border terror. Earlier, Pathan, a cricketer-turned-MP, had been named without TMC's consultation, prompting the initial protest.3. Heavy Rains Disrupt Bengaluru; Red Alert IssuedBengaluru faced severe disruptions on Tuesday after intense pre-monsoon thundershowers caused widespread flooding and traffic chaos. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for the city and Karnataka, forecasting heavy rain, thunderstorms, and lightning through May 26. Commuters struggled, with some taking two hours to travel just 7 km. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre has echoed warnings of extremely heavy rainfall and advised caution. The relentless downpour left several areas waterlogged, reigniting concerns over the city's poor infrastructure and monsoon preparedness.4. Veteran Nuclear Scientist M R Srinivasan Dies at 95M R Srinivasan, former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and a pioneer of India's nuclear program, passed away on Tuesday at age 95. He is survived by his wife and daughter. Srinivasan played a key role in developing India's indigenous nuclear capabilities, working alongside legendary scientist Dr Homi Bhabha. Honoured with the Padma Vibhushan, his death marks the end of a historic era in Indian science. District Collector Lakshmi Bhavya Tanneeru paid floral tributes to the distinguished scientist's mortal remains.5. Netanyahu Offers Conditional End to Gaza WarIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he's willing to end the Gaza war if Hamas agrees to strict terms, including disarming. His statement comes amid rising international pressure, with the UK, France, and Canada threatening sanctions over Israel's latest Gaza offensive. Netanyahu slammed these nations for demanding a Palestinian state, calling it a reward for “genocidal attacks on Israel.” In a joint statement, the Western leaders criticized Israel's denial of humanitarian aid to Palestinians, warning that it could violate international law if continued.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Introducing the Komutr: Slim, Magnetic Earbuds for On-the-Go Life

PLUGHITZ Live Presents (Video)

In today's fast-paced world, where mobility and convenience reign supreme, the need for practical audio solutions has never been more pressing. Commuters, gym-goers, and those constantly on the move require reliable, easy-to-use audio devices that seamlessly integrate into their lifestyles. Enter the innovative solution presented by Harmony Studio: slim, magnetic earbuds designed specifically for commuters. These earbuds, aptly named the "Komutr," embody the intersection of functionality, design, and practicality, addressing common concerns faced by users of traditional earbuds.The Problem of Losing EarbudsOne of the most significant challenges for frequent earbud users is the fear of losing them. Many people have experienced the frustration of misplacing their earbuds, whether they slip through the cracks of a couch, get left in a gym locker, or accidentally tumble into a washing machine. This anxiety is exacerbated by the small size of most earbuds, which makes them easy to misplace and difficult to find. The Komutr earbuds tackle this issue head-on with a unique design that incorporates a magnetic case that snaps onto the back of a smartphone. This innovative feature not only provides a secure storage solution but also ensures that the earbuds are always within reach, reducing the likelihood of loss.Design and FunctionalityThe design of the Komutr earbuds is a testament to the principle that practicality should not come at the expense of style. The slim case is lightweight and compact, making it easy to slip into a back pocket or bag without adding bulk. Unlike many other accessories that clutter a commuter's daily carry, the Komutr earbuds are designed to be unobtrusive and user-friendly. The strong magnetic connection ensures that even when the case is open, the earbuds remain securely in place, providing peace of mind to users who are constantly on the go.Moreover, the earbuds themselves are engineered with comfort and sound quality in mind. Despite their slim profile, they house an 8mm speaker capable of delivering impressive audio performance, complemented by active noise cancelling features. This balance of design and functionality is crucial for commuters who rely on high-quality sound to enhance their travel experience, whether they are listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls.Battery Life and Charging OptionsBattery life is another critical factor for commuters who often find themselves away from charging outlets for extended periods. The Komutr earbuds offer approximately three hours of listening time on a single charge, which is supplemented by the case that provides an additional 25 to 30 hours of battery life. This extended usage is essential for users who may be commuting for long durations or engaging in activities where access to power is limited.Additionally, the Komutr earbuds feature versatile charging options, including USB-C and wireless charging capabilities. For users with compatible Samsung devices, there is even the option for reverse wireless charging, allowing the earbuds to draw power directly from the phone. While this feature may not be universally applicable to all devices, it highlights the innovative thinking behind the product and adds an extra layer of convenience for users of compatible technology.A Solution Born from NecessityThe development of the Komutr earbuds was driven by a clear understanding of the needs and challenges faced by modern commuters. The founders of Harmony Studio recognized that while the market is saturated with various audio products, there was a distinct gap for earbuds that specifically catered to the commuter lifestyle. The two years of development that went into creating these earbuds reflect a commitment to addressing real-world problems with thoughtful design and engineering.Conclusion: A New Concept for a Growing MarketIn a world where convenience and functionality are paramount, the Komutr earbuds stand out as a practical solution for those who rely on audio devices during their daily travels.

Introducing the Komutr: Slim, Magnetic Earbuds for On-the-Go Life

In today's fast-paced world, where mobility and convenience reign supreme, the need for practical audio solutions has never been more pressing. Commuters, gym-goers, and those constantly on the move require reliable, easy-to-use audio devices that seamlessly integrate into their lifestyles. Enter the innovative solution presented by Harmony Studio: slim, magnetic earbuds designed specifically for commuters. These earbuds, aptly named the "Komutr," embody the intersection of functionality, design, and practicality, addressing common concerns faced by users of traditional earbuds.The Problem of Losing EarbudsOne of the most significant challenges for frequent earbud users is the fear of losing them. Many people have experienced the frustration of misplacing their earbuds, whether they slip through the cracks of a couch, get left in a gym locker, or accidentally tumble into a washing machine. This anxiety is exacerbated by the small size of most earbuds, which makes them easy to misplace and difficult to find. The Komutr earbuds tackle this issue head-on with a unique design that incorporates a magnetic case that snaps onto the back of a smartphone. This innovative feature not only provides a secure storage solution but also ensures that the earbuds are always within reach, reducing the likelihood of loss.Design and FunctionalityThe design of the Komutr earbuds is a testament to the principle that practicality should not come at the expense of style. The slim case is lightweight and compact, making it easy to slip into a back pocket or bag without adding bulk. Unlike many other accessories that clutter a commuter's daily carry, the Komutr earbuds are designed to be unobtrusive and user-friendly. The strong magnetic connection ensures that even when the case is open, the earbuds remain securely in place, providing peace of mind to users who are constantly on the go.Moreover, the earbuds themselves are engineered with comfort and sound quality in mind. Despite their slim profile, they house an 8mm speaker capable of delivering impressive audio performance, complemented by active noise cancelling features. This balance of design and functionality is crucial for commuters who rely on high-quality sound to enhance their travel experience, whether they are listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls.Battery Life and Charging OptionsBattery life is another critical factor for commuters who often find themselves away from charging outlets for extended periods. The Komutr earbuds offer approximately three hours of listening time on a single charge, which is supplemented by the case that provides an additional 25 to 30 hours of battery life. This extended usage is essential for users who may be commuting for long durations or engaging in activities where access to power is limited.Additionally, the Komutr earbuds feature versatile charging options, including USB-C and wireless charging capabilities. For users with compatible Samsung devices, there is even the option for reverse wireless charging, allowing the earbuds to draw power directly from the phone. While this feature may not be universally applicable to all devices, it highlights the innovative thinking behind the product and adds an extra layer of convenience for users of compatible technology.A Solution Born from NecessityThe development of the Komutr earbuds was driven by a clear understanding of the needs and challenges faced by modern commuters. The founders of Harmony Studio recognized that while the market is saturated with various audio products, there was a distinct gap for earbuds that specifically catered to the commuter lifestyle. The two years of development that went into creating these earbuds reflect a commitment to addressing real-world problems with thoughtful design and engineering.Conclusion: A New Concept for a Growing MarketIn a world where convenience and functionality are paramount, the Komutr earbuds stand out as a practical solution for those who rely on audio devices during their daily travels. By combining a slim, magnetic design with high-quality sound and extended battery life, Harmony Studio has created a product that not only meets the demands of modern commuters but also enhances their overall experience. As technology continues to evolve, the Komutr earbuds represent a forward-thinking approach to addressing the needs of users in a dynamic and ever-changing landscape.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

KINTO Join - a provider of sustainable mobility applications has revealed the findings of its survey which found that 45% of commuters in Ireland find their journey to work or university stressful. The research - conducted by Censuswide and involving 1,000 people who commute to work or university in the Republic of Ireland - found that more than half (51%) have considered changing their commute method. However, 48% have never tried a different mode of transport for their commute. Traffic delays and congestion were cited by 44% of commuters as one of their biggest frustrations. The other leading frustrations were fuel costs (30%), the time lost having to commute (30%), the weather (29%), and delays with services (15%). Driving by car is the most popular primary mode of transport (51%) among commuters. However, only 16% prefer to travel this way. If available, the bus was the most preferred means of commuting (25%), followed by the train (24%) and walking (23%). One in ten (10%) respondents said they would prefer a company or university shuttle. In urban areas, driving by car and getting the bus were tied for the top spot as the most popular primary mode of transport (at 32% respectively). In terms of generations, almost twice as many Generation X commuters drive by car (63%) than Generation Z commuters (32%). Of those who commute by car, 91% always or mostly do so alone. Their top reasons for travelling to work or university by car are that it is more time-efficient (48%), it is the only option (43%), and inadequate public transport accessibility (34%). The study found that the average daily commute time is around 1 hour and 10 minutes, whilst the average daily cost is €10. Train commuters have the most expensive journey to work or university (€13.14). At the other end of the scale, (excluding walkers) eBike commuters have the least expensive commute (€4.71). As for the average distance of a one-way commute, this is just shy of 17km, with those in Roscommon (30.56km), Wicklow (24.97km), and Westmeath (23.76km) travelling furthest. Meanwhile, respondents in Longford (6.13km), Waterford (9.58km), and Donegal (11km) have the shortest distances to travel. Patrizia Niehaus, CEO, KINTO Join Ltd, said: "It's ironic that while so many commuters in Ireland drive alone out of necessity, a significant number would actually prefer not to. They're frustrated - by traffic, rising fuel costs, and the stress of it all - but don't feel they have another choice. Of course, large-scale infrastructure upgrades are vital, but they take time. In the meantime, the congestion worsens, and emissions reduction targets slip further out of reach. That's why action at the micro-level is so critical. "A large share of short-distance travel happens for work and education. Employers and institutions are uniquely positioned to support more sustainable commuting through initiatives like shared transport schemes, carpooling platforms, or incentives for walking and cycling. When organisations take the lead, they not only support their own sustainability goals, but also drive behavioural change that benefits entire communities - cutting emissions, easing traffic, and giving people what they clearly want: the freedom not to drive alone."

Dr. Liz Hansen takes us behind the scenes of a remarkable transformation at Seattle Children's Hospital, where pediatric anesthesiologists have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions by over 90% without compromising patient safety. A lifelong environmentalist and bike commuter, Dr. Hansen was shocked to discover that anesthesia gases contributed to 7% of her hospital's total emissions. This revelation sparked a personal and professional journey to align her clinical practice with her environmental values.The conversation reveals practical strategies for reducing anesthesia's carbon footprint, from eliminating nitrous oxide to implementing low-flow techniques. Dr. Hansen shares how her team gradually won over colleagues by demonstrating that sustainable practices could maintain or even improve patient outcomes. She offers detailed insights into working with child life specialists, adapting mask induction techniques, and using data tracking to drive continuous improvement.What makes this story particularly powerful is the ripple effect beyond a single institution. Dr. Hansen co-founded Project SPRUCE (Saving Our Planet by Reducing Carbon Emissions), an international consortium of anesthesia groups collaborating to reduce their environmental impact. Member organizations have already achieved their first-year goal of 50% emissions reduction, with more ambitious targets on the horizon.For anesthesia professionals concerned about climate change but unsure how to make a difference, this episode offers hope and concrete action steps. Remember, "the antidote to despair is action." Download the Yale Gassing Greener app, try a nitrous-free induction on your next cooperative patient, or advocate for addressing gas leaks in your facility's central supply system. Your individual choices matter, especially when they inspire others to follow your lead.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/246-ditching-nitrous-oxide-the-bike-commuters-guide-to-safe-and-sustainable-anesthesia/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

On March 11 the Joint Transportation Committee of the Oregon Legislature took testimony on HB 3453, which would create a new transit authority with a mission to take over TriMet's Westside Express Service (WES) commuter line and expand it to Eugene.While I share the enthusiasm of the bill's sponsors for passenger rail, the history of WES shows that a market for commuter rail does not exist.WES was originally projected to cost $65 million and open in 2000. It actually cost $161.2 million and opened in 2009. TriMet predicted that opening-year ridership would average 2,500 average daily boardings. Actual ridership averaged 1,140.Daily ridership peaked in 2014 at 1,964 daily boardings, then dropped in each successive year. During 2024 WES averaged just 477 boardings per day.Since each rider typically takes two daily train trips, that means WES only has about 240 actual customers.With such little ridership, public subsidies are costly. Last year the operating cost per boarding ride on WES averaged $103, far in excess of the standard TriMet fare of $2.80.There is no business case for expanding commuter rail. In fact, taxpayers would be better off if we canceled WES, sold the train cars, and moved the few customers back to buses.

In the hills of Sparta, Tennessee, during the early nineties, Helen decides to break free from the life that stifles her: marriage, motherhood, the monotonous duties of a Southern housewife. But leaving isn't the same thing as staying gone... Rooted in a lush natural landscape, this stunning poetry collection explores Helen's isolation and rebellion as her expansive personality clashes with the social rigidity of her small town. In richly layered poems with settings that range from football games to Chuck E. Cheese to the bathroom of a Motel 6, Helen enters adulthood as a disaffected homemaker grasping for agency. She marries the wrong man, gives birth to a child she is not ready to parent, and embarks on an affair that throws her life into chaos. But she never surrenders ownership of her story or her choices, insisting to the reader: "if you never owned a bone-sharp biography... / i don't want to hear it. i want you silent. / i want you listening to me." Blurring the line between mythology and modernity, Helen of Troy, 1993 is an unforgettable collection that shows the Homeric Helen like she's never been seen before.
