In this special episode, we talk about efficiency and managing assets in your brewery, as well as proactive and preventive approaches that extend the lifespan of your equipment and reduce equipment downtime. There's more data available to you than ever before, but understanding how to use that data to make smart decisions and anticipate issues before they happen can save you money and avoid costly downtime. Here we talk about some of the more common issues that breweries deal with as well as the warning signs, so that breweries can avoid problems rather than react to them. Joining for the episode are: Bobby Cole, President & CEO of Think-PLC, Lexington, North Carolina Corey Dickens, Principal Solutions Consultant for Manufacturing at Brightly Software, a Siemens company This special episode was produced in partnership with Brightly Software, a Siemens company based in Raleigh, North Carolina, that helps organizations manage their assets, facilities, and infrastructure throughout their entire lifespan.

Why do anomalous experiences so often arrive in the wake of trauma? And what happens when the people who understand that connection decide to use it as a weapon? This episode of Inquiry follows trauma as the hidden throughline connecting UFOs, consciousness, psychological operations, and the engineering of belief at scale. Kelly Chase starts with how human perception actually works, drawing on Donald Hoffman's "The Case Against Reality," James Madden's umwelt and über-umwelt from "Unidentified Flying Hyperobject," and Jeffrey Kripal's Filter Thesis, then grounds it all in the predictive processing model of the brain and Karl Friston's free energy principle. The picture that emerges is unsettling: trauma doesn't only wound a person, it makes them porous, loosening the filters that hold consensus reality in place. From there the conversation turns toward how that vulnerability has been exploited. It traces belief manipulation from the 1980 "From PSYOP to MindWar" paper by Michael Aquino and Paul Vallely, through MKULTRA and Operation Mockingbird, to the declassified reality of Operation Northwoods and the manufacturing of consent. It brings in Jacques Vallée's control system hypothesis and Colm Kelleher's concept of bidirectional mimicry to ask whether human institutions and the phenomenon itself may be using the same lever: disruption, destabilization, and the reshaping of belief in the rupture's aftermath. Then it turns the dread on its head. Research on openness to experience and Post-Traumatic Growth suggests the architects of mass stress made a critical miscalculation. Trauma creates openings, and openings go both ways. You can crack the shell of consensus reality to make people malleable, but you cannot control what hatches.

Filmmaker Ron James joins Richard Syrett to expose the unsettling possibility that UFO disclosure isn't unfolding organically—it's being managed. From psychological operations and missing scientists to non-human intelligence and consciousness manipulation, James argues the real mystery is no longer whether UFOs exist, but who's controlling the narrative… and why. GUEST: Ron James is an investigative filmmaker, producer, and Media Relations Director for the MUFON, the world's largest civilian UFO research organization. He is the creator of the acclaimed documentaries Accidental Truth: UFO Revelations and Accidental Truth: NEXT – Beyond UFO Disclosure, exploring the intersection of UAP secrecy, intelligence operations, consciousness, and the global disclosure movement. James has become a leading voice examining whether disclosure is truly transparency—or a carefully orchestrated psychological operation.

What if the same predictive code that runs ChatGPT is also running your life — and you've been letting it auto-pilot you into the wrong reality?Tommy McCarthy is a former Harvard basketball player turned founder of Super Conscious, an AI-powered app designed to help users rewrite the subconscious programs that quietly dictate 95% of their decisions. In this conversation, Tommy unpacks how he healed his own chronic back pain in a single week using Dr. John Sarno's mind-body framework, then walks through the wild story of how he manifested a $200M private equity commitment from a stranger jogging past him on a trail — and why the deal still collapsed.We get into why AI and the human subconscious are the same kind of predictive model, why training AI on fear and scarcity is humanity's real existential risk, and why self-worth is the silent saboteur for high performers. Tommy also breaks down the four-prompt protocol his team built into the Super Conscious app — and the daily practice he uses to stay in the frequency of his desired reality.If you've ever felt like you're running on outdated code, this one's for you.Subscribe for more conversations at the edge of consciousness, technology, and human potential.
For review:1. A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah appeared to take effect at midnight Thursday-Friday after being declared hours earlier by US President Donald Trump, who also announced that he was inviting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Lebanese president for peace talks at the White House.2. The Israeli military said Friday that it remains on high alert and ready to return to fighting in both Iran and Lebanon if the fragile ceasefires in both countries collapses or expire without an extension in the coming weeks.3. US War Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday accused Iran of piracy and terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz, and said the US was ready to resume fighting “with more power than ever before” if the current ceasefire ends.4. US President Donald Trump signaled growing optimism Friday about a potential deal with Iran to end the war amid a temporary ceasefire, saying negotiators could meet as soon as this weekend and that an agreement may be reached within days. 5. Axios Report: US & Iran talks are expected to take place in Islamabad, likely on Sunday, according to a source familiar with the mediation efforts.6. Pakistan's air force escorted Iranian negotiators home from inconclusive peace talks with the US last weekend, launching a major operation after the Iranians said Israel might seek to kill them, three sources told Reuters.Pakistan deployed some two dozen jets in the escort, as well as the force's Airborne Warning and Control System for aerial surveillance to ensure the safety of the delegation back from Islamabad, said two Pakistani sources with knowledge of the operation.7. Iran used a Chinese spy satellite to target US bases in the Middle East for missile and drone strikes, according to a report by The Financial Times published on Wednesday. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Aerospace Force acquired the sophisticated spy satellite from China in late 2024, agreeing to pay roughly $36.6m for the system, the report said.8. Australia this week announced three major shifts in military leadership, appointing a new Chief of Defence Force, as well as new leaders of the Navy and Army.Vice Adm, Mark Hammond, the current navy chief, will take over as Australia's top military officer.

Is the U.S. government preparing to go to war with Iran? Leading up to talks set to happen towards the end of the week in Geneva, the Trump administration has also threatened Iran with war, saying the country has “10 to 15 days” as of February 20th to agree to a deal - putting Trump's one-sided deadline somewhere in the first week of March.In apparent preparation for military strikes, massive amounts of military equipment have been sent to the region, including dispatching the USS Gerald R Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, to the Arabian Sea near the Persian Gulf. At least 120 aircraft, including F-35 stealth strike fighters and F/A 18-E Super Hornets, have been sent to the region with the Ford, in addition to E-3 Sentry AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) used for command & control operations as well as surveillance. The Ford will be joining the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is already off the coast of Oman.As we come up on the 23rd anniversary of the 2003 US war on Iraq as well as the 15th anniversary of the US-led NATO invasion of Libya, we'll look back at what led up to them, the lessons learned from the anti-war movement of the period, and how we can stop the next war:Stand for self-determination and against imperialist aggressionThe primary responsibility of those in the US is to oppose their government's actionsDon't fall into the trap of tailing the Democrats, the graveyard of social movements.Support the show

A tight, historic cellar. Arched ceilings. Long corridors. Tiny shafts. We faced a design wall: to keep routes tenable, we needed twice the extraction that the building could carry. At that point, I've failed as an engineer - I've reached my limit and could not find a solution.Some time later, a solution appeared in my head from nowhere —what if the fan changed with the fire? Not in a crude on-off way, but by tracking temperature, exploiting density changes, and chasing constant mass flow instead of fixed volume.We unpack the moment this clicked, the fan physics behind it, and why hotter smoke can actually make extraction easier if you use the margin correctly. You'll hear how we oversized the fan, ran it at a lower frequency in ambient, then ramped as temperatures rose to keep kilograms per second steady. That adaptive control boosted cubic meters per second right when the layer needed support, eased plug-hole entrainment, and stabilised makeup air velocities. We walk through the thermodynamics, the electrical and pressure implications, and how these pieces form a practical control strategy for retrofits and new builds.To ground the idea, we share two paths to proof. First, CFD with user-defined control that reads gas temperature each time step and updates fan frequency with smoothed delays to prevent oscillations—capturing the real feedback loop between fire and system. Then, full-scale container burns with live control showed the same trends from 20 to over 500 degrees: falling duct pressures, lower fan power at heat, and the headroom to increase volumetric extraction without breaking limits. Thinking about it now, this idea is a part of many other concepts that I describe together. To show a way how we come from the simple framework—Smoke Control 1.0 (empirical, static), 2.0 (CFD-informed, still static), into a new smoke control 3.0 (adaptive, feedback-driven)—and explore how this thinking can reshape underground venues, car parks, tunnels, pressurisation, and natural ventilation.If you care about safer evacuation, smaller shafts, lower velocities, and systems that work with physics rather than against it, this story is for you. Subscribe, share with a colleague who designs smoke control, and leave a review with your toughest question so we can tackle it next.Reading material:- Can smoke control become smart?- Transient characteristic of the flow of heat and mass in a fire as the basis for an optimised solution for smoke exhaust- Smart Smoke Control as an Efficient Solution for Smoke Ventilation in Converted Cellars of Historic Buildings----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

In this episode of Control Intelligence, which was written by contributing editor Shawn Cox in June of 2023, more than two and a half years ago, editor in chief Mike Bacidore discusses the predictions for control systems. Cox's article was revisited by many as we closed out 2025, and it became one of Control Design's most popular reads in December. Let's revisit his thoughts from the summer of 2023.

America's air traffic system is showing cracks, and the shutdown only widened them. Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute is here to explain why budget dependence and failed modernization make the system fragile, and why he believes a Canadian-style model could be the fix.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this gripping and deeply important episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco sits down with Cathy O'Brien, one of the most courageous and outspoken survivors to expose the U.S. government's MK Ultra mind control operations. Cathy shares her firsthand experience with minor trafficking networks, psychological manipulation, and the global control systems designed to suppress human consciousness and freedom. She opens up about her traumatic upbringing, her escape from government control, and the pivotal role played by Mark Phillips, who helped guide her into recovery and truth. Cathy also discusses her newest book, “Resolutions,” where she shares poetry, healing tools, and the methods she used to reclaim her mind, spirit, and sovereignty. Michael and Cathy explore the mechanics of mind control, the connection between government programming and trafficking rings, and the ways individuals can break free from psychological conditioning. Cathy speaks with raw honesty about the failures of the mental health system, the power of awareness, and the personal responsibility required to expose corruption and protect future generations. This conversation shines a bright light into dark places — but ultimately offers hope, empowerment, and a path toward healing and liberation.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the launch of the Executive Order titled Genesis Mission by President Trump as the inescapable digital prison walls are rapidly built around us. Both the left and the right sides of the paradigm are launching initiatives to force humanity into a digital prisonscape as technocrach reigns supreme in a convenient world. Tyranny comes under the guise of convenience. The Biblically named Genesis Mission ensures total control of AI regulations are in the hands of the state, furthering Trump's commitment to ensure the government grows and no states can constitutionally opposed anything he does. These AI regulations come as $500 billion are invested in AI, the Big Beautiful Bill gives further billions and makes it so AI can completely control nuclear energy and weaponry, at the same time as AI militarism deals are signed with Saudi Arabia and Qatar and at the same time as Israel utilizes Palantir AI drones to indiscriminately attack people and decide who can or cannot eat rations. Speaking of Palantir who was tapped by Trump to create master database on all Americans, Peter Thiel and Alex Karp are working closely with Trump and Elon Musk to establish a massive hive mind system of surveillance. In fact, the feds are now putting facial recognition cameras all over highways throughout the United States to monitor people's travel habits. The goal is to decide if people traveling from point A to point B is suspicious and should be investigated. Similarly, everyone's social media posts are being monitored. This is clearly for the future social credit system. As Keir Starmer rolls out mandatory digital IDs alongside the EU which is launching their CBDC, Canada's Mark Carney told COP30 that he was AI data centers to pay carbon credits. This is getting incredibly dystopian. With the UN Pact For The Future being signed off on by 193 countries in September 2024, allowing the government to shut down bank accounts under emergency orders and force social credit score and food rations on people, none of this is a coincidence. We are being forced into a digital prison and how you prepare will determine how you remain free or not. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

When most people think about warehouse efficiency, they picture automation, robotics, or faster picking speeds. But for James Malley, Co-founder and CEO of Paccurate, the real opportunity lies in something far less flashy—how we pack boxes. In this episode, Kevin chats with James about Paccurate's milestone of processing one billion packs and how the company is redefining packaging optimization through cartonization.What began as a side project tackling dimensional weight challenges has evolved into a new layer of warehouse intelligence: the Packing Control System (PCS). As James explains, sometimes the smallest adjustments have the biggest ripple effects.Learn more about Endpoint and give Gary a break here. Learn more about The Brecham Group here.

In this episode of Liminal Phrames, Darren/Exo and Nathan examine the ancient roots of the UAP phenomenon. Tellingly, across cultures in deep history, common themes emerge: encounters with "celestial races," schisms, hybridization, and a control system. Who's behind the curtain?
Roughly 750,000 federal employees were furloughed when the government closed its doors. Not included in that number are the air traffic controllers who will continue to work, without pay, as long as the shutdown continues. That has raised concerns about the strain on an already understaffed and overworked cohort. Geoff Bennett spoke with Nick Daniels of the air traffic controllers' union.

Two companies bid to become the Brand New Air Traffic Control System prime integrator, FAA issues carry-on SAFO, 737 MAX production limits eased, P&W and GE adaptive cycle engines, Sikorsky contract for CH-53K helicopters, and Sergei Sikorsky passes away at age 100. Aviation News Two bidders vie to be project manager of massive FAA US air traffic overhaul Two bids to become the prime integrator in the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system have been received. Congress has approved $12.5 billion for the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The bids come from two DC Beltway companies: Peraton is a national security company owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. See the press release: Peraton Offers the FAA a Brand New Approach for Its Revolutionary ATC Modernization Initiative. Parsons Corporation is a technology provider in national security and global infrastructure markets. Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, Parsons confirmed it has bid with IBM. The FAA says it will make a selection by the end of October. FAA urges airlines to discourage passengers from taking bags during evacuations The FAA issued Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO 25003, PDF) titled “Addressing Risk Associated with Passenger Non-Compliance and Retention of Carry-On Baggage and Personal Items During Emergency Evacuations.” The SAFO “Serves to emphasize the operational and safety-critical importance of strict passenger compliance with crewmember instructions during emergency evacuations. Specifically, it addresses the adverse effects of passengers attempting to evacuate with carry-on items, which can significantly impede evacuation procedures and increase the potential for injury or fatality.” FAA Signals Easing of Oversight on Boeing Jets The FAA is expecting to restore Boeing's ability to conduct safety sign-offs on new 737 MAX jets. Final airworthiness certificates will continue to be issued by the regulator The FAA is also considering increasing Boeing's 737 MAX production cap from 38 to 42 planes per month. Engines for America's F-47 Sixth Gen Combat Aircraft Coming Together Faster Than Expected The F-47 is being developed as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Family of Systems. It's a stealthy air superiority aircraft that can directly engage adversaries on the ground and in the air. It will be able to fly itself as well as collaborate with and control wingman drones. The propulsion system being developed under the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program is a concept that offers two modes of operation, which can be dynamically adjusted in flight: high thrust and high speed, and lower thrust with reduced fuel burn. Adaptive cycle engines can modulate the bypass ratio and fan pressure using a third air stream and advanced variable geometry components. Both Pratt & Whitney and General Electric are developing NGAP engines. Airbus, Air France reject blame over AF447 crash, 16 years on Air France 447 crashed in the Atlantic in 2009. In a 2023 trial, the judge found acts of negligence by Airbus and Air France, but determined that, under French criminal law, these acts were insufficient to establish a definitive link to the loss of the A330. Both Airbus and Air France were cleared of corporate manslaughter. In an appeals hearing, the two companies pleaded not guilty. Air France and Airbus chief executives recognized the suffering of the families, but denied any criminal responsibility for the crash. Appeal hearings are expected to run until late November 2025. Sikorsky to Build 99 CH-53K King Stallions for the U.S. Marine Corps Sikorsky announced the award of a $10.8 billion contract from the U.S. Navy to build up to 99 CH-53K King Stallion helicopters for the U.S. Marine Corps over the next five years.

At the end of April, air traffic control radar surveillance and radio communication systems at Newark airport went dark for over a minute. A week and half later, radar went down again briefly. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has since cut down the number of flights in and out of Newark. But, how does our air traffic control system work? How do air traffic controllers keep track of all of the planes in the sky? And what happens when systems fail? Michael McCormick, a former air traffic control operations manager at the FAA, joins Host Flora Lichtman to dive into the science of air traffic control. Guest: Dr. Michael McCormick is a former vice president of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization, and an associate professor and program coordinator of Air Traffic Management at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.Transcripts for the segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
