When it comes to moving freight long distances, you can go from ship to drayage to rail to over-the-road trucking… or you can go intermodal. Intermodal freight transportation combines the advantages of sea, air, and land transport to facilitate a preplanned end-to-end journey. Understanding the relative cost, security, and emissions benefits of intermodal transportation is key for companies looking for the most efficient way to move their goods. In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner is joined by Anne Reinke, the CEO and President of the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA). Anne has experience lobbying for the rail industry and working at the Department of Transportation, as well as with an organization representing 3PLs. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly and Anne discuss: How the relative roles of private companies and government agencies vary by mode of transportation Which factors are most influential in driving demand for intermodal transportation How tariffs are changing shipper behavior, altering the usual seasonal patterns for transportation peaks and lows   Links: Anne Reinke on LinkedIn Intermodal Association of North America Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x648! Shameless plug 4 et 5 novembre 2025 - FAIRCON 2025 8 et 9 novembre 2025 - DEATHcon 17 au 20 novembre 2025 - European Cyber Week 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 Description Introduction Dans cet épisode spécial du podcast, Miguel De Bruycker, directeur général du Centre pour la cybersécurité belge (CCB), partage les approches innovantes et les réalisations de son organisation en matière de protection des citoyens contre les cybermenaces. L'entretien met en lumière une philosophie unique qui place la santé numérique des citoyens au cœur des priorités gouvernementales. Une approche belge distinctive Contrairement à de nombreux pays occidentaux, la Belgique a adopté une approche proactive de la cybersécurité qui se distingue par son intervention directe pour protéger la population. Miguel De Bruycker souligne que leur clientèle comprend la population générale, les entreprises, les services gouvernementaux et l'infrastructure critique. Cette vision globale reflète une conception de la cybersécurité comme une question de santé publique, où l'État a un rôle actif à jouer pour le bien-être collectif. Le système suspect@ccb.be : une initiative citoyenne massive L'une des initiatives phares du CCB est la création, il y a sept ans, de l'adresse email suspect@ccb.be. Disponible en quatre langues, ce service permet aux citoyens belges de signaler les courriels suspects. Les chiffres sont impressionnants : en 2024, le centre a reçu en moyenne 25 000 courriels par jour de la part de la population. Cette mobilisation citoyenne témoigne d'une prise de conscience collective des menaces numériques et d'une confiance dans les institutions pour traiter ces signalements. Le Belgian Anti-Phishing Shield : une protection par défaut Depuis cinq ans, le CCB a mis en place un système encore plus audacieux : le Belgian Anti-Phishing Shield (BPS). En partenariat avec les principaux fournisseurs d'accès Internet (FAI) du pays, le centre a développé un système de protection DNS avec une approche opt-out, c'est-à-dire que la protection est activée par défaut pour tous les citoyens. Le fonctionnement est le suivant : à partir des 25 000 courriels quotidiens reçus, l'équipe identifie les domaines et sites web malveillants. Ces informations sont ensuite transmises aux FAI qui affichent des pages d'avertissement aux utilisateurs tentant d'accéder à ces sites dangereux. En 2024, ces pages d'avertissement ont été affichées 240 millions de fois, démontrant l'ampleur de la protection offerte. Un équilibre délicat entre protection et liberté Miguel De Bruycker reconnaît le caractère intrusif de cette approche et la nécessité d'éviter toute accusation de censure gouvernementale. C'est pourquoi le système intègre plusieurs garde-fous essentiels. Premièrement, contrairement aux systèmes opt-in utilisés dans d'autres pays (qui sont peu utilisés), le système belge est opt-out : les citoyens peuvent facilement désactiver la protection s'ils le souhaitent, les instructions étant clairement affichées sur les pages d'avertissement. Deuxièmement, un mécanisme de contestation permet aux utilisateurs de signaler immédiatement si un site est incorrectement classé comme malveillant. Dans ce cas, le site est retiré de la liste et analysé rapidement. S'il s'avère qu'il n'est pas dangereux, il reste débloqué ; sinon, il est remis sur la liste. Après cinq ans de fonctionnement, aucune plainte officielle n'a été déposée contre ce système, ce qui témoigne de son acceptation par la population. Une efficacité mesurable Bien que Miguel De Bruycker admette qu'il est difficile de mesurer précisément l'impact de ces mesures (car on peut quantifier ce qui est bloqué, mais pas ce qui aurait pu se produire sans protection), les indicateurs internationaux sont encourageants. La Belgique se classe régulièrement dans le top 3 ou 4 des pays européens en matière de cybersécurité selon divers indices comme le Bitsite Index ou l'ITO Index. Ce positionnement avantageux suggère que l'approche belge porte ses fruits et pourrait inspirer d'autres nations. Une organisation efficiente L'aspect peut-être le plus remarquable de cette initiative est son efficacité organisationnelle. L'équipe qui traite les 25 000 courriels quotidiens et gère le système BPS ne compte que quatre personnes. Cette prouesse est rendue possible par une automatisation poussée des processus. Le centre travaille avec deux partenaires privés qui aident au traitement. L'information est anonymisée de façon automatisée, puis contrôlée par les partenaires privés avant d'être analysée automatiquement au centre. L'intervention humaine n'est nécessaire que lorsque des anomalies sont détectées. Coordination nationale et cadre fédéral Sur le plan organisationnel, la cybersécurité en Belgique relève du niveau fédéral, comme la défense et les services de renseignement. Le CCB est au cœur d'un écosystème de coordination complexe. Un comité de coordination réunit mensuellement tous les chefs des services de renseignement et de sécurité (police, renseignement militaire et civil, affaires étrangères, défense). Au-dessus se trouve un comité stratégique incluant les représentants ministériels, et au sommet, le Conseil national de sécurité avec les ministres eux-mêmes. Cette structure permet une circulation efficace de l'information et une prise de décision coordonnée. L'initiative Cyber Fundamentals et NIS 2 Au-delà de la protection des citoyens, le CCB joue un rôle majeur dans l'implémentation de la directive européenne NIS 2. Le centre a développé un framework appelé Cyber Fundamentals, qui établit une couche commune de mesures de cybersécurité pour tous les secteurs, tout en laissant la liberté aux autorités sectorielles et régionales d'ajouter des mesures spécifiques. Cette approche de simplification et de standardisation tout en respectant l'autonomie a été rapidement adoptée et inspire maintenant d'autres pays comme l'Irlande et la Roumanie. Une adoption au niveau européen est même envisagée. La patience comme stratégie Miguel De Bruycker conclut en soulignant que ces succès sont le fruit de dix années d'efforts soutenus. Le chemin n'a pas été simple : des accords n'ont pas toujours été respectés, des collaborations ont connu des difficultés. Mais la clé du succès a été la persévérance et la capacité à maintenir le dialogue plutôt que de rompre les collaborations. Le CCB a créé un Conseil de cybersécurité permettant de discuter des problèmes en dehors des grandes réunions officielles, favorisant ainsi la conciliation et la recherche de solutions communes. Cette approche de collaboration continue, même face aux obstacles, illustre une philosophie où le bénéfice collectif prime sur les frictions individuelles. C'est cette vision à long terme et cette capacité à transformer les conflits apparents en opportunités de solutions qui ont permis à la Belgique de devenir un modèle en matière de cybersécurité citoyenne.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Colonel John Spencer, one of the world's leading experts on urban warfare, to break down the brutal realities of the Israel–Hamas war.Spencer explains how the October 7 invasion was more than a terror attack – it was a coordinated military operation, backed by Iran and linked to Hezbollah. He describes in detail how Hamas used tunnel networks, IEDs, and human shields to wage war inside Gaza, deliberately drawing civilians into the battlefield to create global outrage against Israel.We discuss the IDF's strategy, from their full-scale ground invasion on October 27 to the unprecedented measures taken to warn and evacuate civilians – even at the cost of prolonging the war. Spencer also reveals why Gaza has become the first modern “tunnel war”, why snipers and booby-trapped homes shaped the conflict, and how Israel managed to hold off threats across multiple fronts, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Iran itself.This is a rare, insider military analysis of the Gaza war – exposing the tactics, strategies, and propaganda battles that most of the media ignore.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction 4:27 Coordination of the October 7 Invasion 8:17 Hezbollah's Role and Hamas' Strategy 21:08 Hamas' Military Capabilities and Tactics35:14 IDF's Response and Strategic Decisions56:56 The Evolution of the Conflict and Hamas' Survival1:05:01 The Impact of Foreign Military Aid 1:11:52 The Role of Egypt and Humanitarian Considerations1:15:25 Vaccination Campaigns and Perceptions in Gaza1:25:19 Humanitarian Aid and Hamas' Control1:41:56 Jordanian and Egyptian Aid Efforts1:45:47 Resistance Within Gaza1:54:20 The Trump Peace Plan 1:59:49 Hamas' Incentives and Challenges 2:10:08 Netanyahu's Leadership During the War2:13:09 Final Thoughts and Future Outlook Hosted on Acast.

AI Assisted Coding: From Deterministic to AI-Driven—The New Paradigm of Software Development, With Markus Hjort In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the emerging world of AI-assisted coding with Markus Hjort, CTO of Bitmagic. Markus shares his hands-on experience with what's being called "vibe coding" - a paradigm shift where developers work more like technical product owners, guiding AI agents to produce code while focusing on architecture, design patterns, and overall system quality. This conversation explores not just the tools, but the fundamental changes in how we approach software engineering as a team sport. Defining Vibecoding: More Than Just Autocomplete "I'm specifying the features by prompting, using different kinds of agentic tools. And the agent is producing the code. I will check how it works and glance at the code, but I'm a really technical product owner." Vibecoding represents a spectrum of AI-assisted development approaches. Markus positions himself between pure "vibecoding" (where developers don't look at code at all) and traditional coding. He produces about 90% of his code using AI tools, but maintains technical oversight by reviewing architectural patterns and design decisions. The key difference from traditional autocomplete tools is the shift from deterministic programming languages to non-deterministic natural language prompting, which requires an entirely different way of thinking about software development. The Paradigm Shift: When AI Changed Everything "It's a different paradigm! Looking back, it started with autocomplete where Copilot could implement simple functions. But the real change came with agentic coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code." Markus traces his journey through three distinct phases. First came GitHub Copilot's autocomplete features for simple functions - helpful but limited. Next, ChatGPT enabled discussing architectural problems and getting code suggestions for unfamiliar technologies. The breakthrough arrived with agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code that can autonomously implement entire features. This progression mirrors the historical shift from assembly to high-level languages, but with a crucial difference: the move from deterministic to non-deterministic communication with machines. Where Vibecoding Works Best: Knowing Your Risks "I move between different levels as I go through different tasks. In areas like CSS styling where I'm not very professional, I trust the AI more. But in core architecture where quality matters most, I look more thoroughly." Vibecoding effectiveness varies dramatically by context. Markus applies different levels of scrutiny based on his expertise and the criticality of the code. For frontend work and styling where he has less expertise, he relies more heavily on AI output and visual verification. For backend architecture and core system components, he maintains closer oversight. This risk-aware approach is essential for startup environments where developers must wear multiple hats. The beauty of this flexibility is that AI enables developers to contribute meaningfully across domains while maintaining appropriate caution in critical areas. Teaching Your Tools: Making AI-Assisted Coding Work "You first teach your tool to do the things you value. Setting system prompts with information about patterns you want, testing approaches you prefer, and integration methods you use." Success with AI-assisted coding requires intentional configuration and practice. Key strategies include: System prompts: Configure tools with your preferred patterns, testing approaches, and architectural decisions Context management: Watch context length carefully; when the AI starts making mistakes, reset the conversation Checkpoint discipline: Commit working code frequently to Git - at least every 30 minutes, ideally after every small working feature Dual AI strategy: Use ChatGPT or Claude for architectural discussions, then bring those ideas to coding tools for implementation Iteration limits: Stop and reassess after roughly 5 failed iterations rather than letting AI continue indefinitely Small steps: Split features into minimal increments and commit each piece separately In this segment we refer to the episode with Alan Cyment on AI Assisted Coding, and the Pachinko coding anti-pattern.  Team Dynamics: Bigger Chunks and Faster Coordination "The speed changes a lot of things. If everything goes well, you can produce so much more stuff. So you have to have bigger tasks. Coordination changes - we need bigger chunks because of how much faster coding is." AI-assisted coding fundamentally reshapes team workflows. The dramatic increase in coding speed means developers need larger, more substantial tasks to maintain flow and maximize productivity. Traditional approaches of splitting stories into tiny tasks become counterproductive when implementation speed increases 5-10x. This shift impacts planning, requiring teams to think in terms of complete features rather than granular technical tasks. The coordination challenge becomes managing handoffs and integration points when individuals can ship significant functionality in hours rather than days. The Non-Deterministic Challenge: A New Grammar "When you're moving from low-level language to higher-level language, they are still deterministic. But now with LLMs, it's not deterministic. This changes how we have to think about coding completely." The shift to natural language prompting introduces fundamental uncertainty absent from traditional programming. Unlike the progression from assembly to C to Python - all deterministic - working with LLMs means accepting probabilistic outputs. This requires developers to adopt new mental models: thinking in terms of guidance rather than precise instructions, maintaining checkpoints for rollback, and developing intuition for when AI is "hallucinating" versus producing valid solutions. Some developers struggle with this loss of control, while others find liberation in focusing on what to build rather than how to build it. Code Reviews and Testing: What Changes? "With AI, I spend more time on the actual product doing exploratory testing. The AI is doing the coding, so I can focus on whether it works as intended rather than syntax and patterns." Traditional code review loses relevance when AI generates syntactically correct, pattern-compliant code. The focus shifts to testing actual functionality and user experience. Markus emphasizes: Manual exploratory testing becomes more important as developers can't rely on having written and understood every line Test discipline is critical - AI can write tests that always pass (assert true), so verification is essential Test-first approach helps ensure tests actually verify behavior rather than just existing Periodic test validation: Randomly modify test outputs to verify they fail when they should Loosening review processes to avoid bottlenecks when code generation accelerates dramatically Anti-Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid Several common mistakes emerge when developers start with AI-assisted coding: Continuing too long: When AI makes 5+ iterations without progress, stop and reset rather than letting it spiral Skipping commits: Without frequent Git checkpoints, recovery from AI mistakes becomes extremely difficult Over-reliance without verification: Trusting AI-generated tests without confirming they actually test something meaningful Ignoring context limits: Continuing to add context until the AI becomes confused and produces poor results Maintaining traditional task sizes: Splitting work too granularly when AI enables completing larger chunks Forgetting exploration: Reading about tools rather than experimenting hands-on with your own projects The Future: Autonomous Agents and Automatic Testing "I hope that these LLMs will become larger context windows and smarter. Tools like Replit are pushing boundaries - they can potentially do automatic testing and verification for you." Markus sees rapid evolution toward more autonomous development agents. Current trends include: Expanded context windows enabling AI to understand entire codebases without manual context curation Automatic testing generation where AI not only writes code but also creates and runs comprehensive test suites Self-verification loops where agents test their own work and iterate without human intervention Design-to-implementation pipelines where UI mockups directly generate working code Agentic tools that can break down complex features autonomously and implement them incrementally The key insight: we're moving from "AI helps me code" to "AI codes while I guide and verify" - a fundamental shift in the developer's role from implementer to architect and quality assurance. Getting Started: Experiment and Learn by Doing "I haven't found a single resource that covers everything. My recommendation is to try Claude Code or Cursor yourself with your own small projects. You don't know the experience until you try it." Rather than pointing to comprehensive guides (which don't yet exist for this rapidly evolving field), Markus advocates hands-on experimentation. Start with personal projects where stakes are low. Try multiple tools to understand their strengths. Build intuition through practice rather than theory. The field changes so rapidly that reading about tools quickly becomes outdated - but developing the mindset and practices for working with AI assistance provides durable value regardless of which specific tools dominate in the future.

This week, the crew sits down with Jeff Wright of Oklahoma Foundation Seed to trace the wheat seed pipeline—from a few pounds in the breeder's bag to the certified seed growers buy. Jeff opens the hood on a weather‑delayed harvest that still posted only ~5% sprout damage and a 56‑lb test weight on Orange Blossom, then tells the highway‑shoulder saga of backing a combine down I‑44 after a trailer failure. He explains the four certified seed classes (breeder → foundation → registered → certified), why purity matters, and how new tools—like fast‑cleaning plot combines and precision planters—help scale a 10–15 lb start into bushels, quicker. Agronomy nuggets abound: skip‑row/wide‑row, ~500k seeds/acre targets, and how partnerships from Hutchinson to Stillwater keep seed flowing across the Plains.Top ten takeawaysThe seed pipeline exists to protect purity—breeder → foundation → registered → certified—so farmers get exactly the genetics they expect.Even in a rough year, Orange Blossom came off with ~5% sprout damage and 56‑lb test weight, underscoring how management and luck intersect.Logistics are real: after losing two trailer wheels, Jeff literally backed a combine down I‑44 to keep harvest moving.Modern gear speeds purity: a Kincaid research combine can be torn down and cleaned in about 1–1.5 hours(often right in the field).Tiny starts can scale fast: planting 10–15 lb with a research planter can produce bushels the next year and accelerate releases like Scab Striker.Low‑pop, wide/skip‑row wheat works—Jeff often targets ~500,000 seeds/acre and still harvests competitive yields.Trait licensing shapes access: certain lines (e.g., DoubleStop, Strad, CoAXium) are certified‑seed‑only or under special contracts.Cross‑state coordination matters: OSU and K‑State swap seed and use Hutchinson, KS, as a hand‑off to serve customers on both sides of the line.Cold storage and national germplasm archives keep legacy varieties alive for future breeding and rescue.The future's colorful (literally): purple wheats, higher‑fiber lines, and other innovations are on the horizon. Timestamps:00:00–00:18 — Sponsor: Oklahoma Wheat Commission; “feeding the world while growing the future.”00:19–01:20 — Show open, Ep. 424; “lots of wheat going in the ground across the Great Plains.”01:21–02:16 — Team roll call: Dr. Brian Arnall, Dr. Josh Lofton, Dr. Raedan Sharry; booth banter.02:25–03:38 — Meet Jeff Wright, manager of Oklahoma Foundation Seed; recorded at High Plains Journal Live (Wichita).03:39–04:52 — Harvest chaos: cutting delays; “lost two wheels” off the trailer; backed a combine down I‑44 to solve it.04:53–06:10 — What Foundation Seed does: maintain purity, scale new releases, and handle more than wheat (barley, oats, rye, peanuts, mung beans, forage grasses).06:11–08:14 — Weather impact: a late cut still tested ~5% sprout damage and 56 lb test weight on Orange Blossom; theory on staying consistently wet.08:15–12:26 — Jeff's 18‑year arc (since 2007): from F2 gleaners and all‑day cleanouts to better logistics and later planting windows.12:27–15:06 — Launching varieties faster: from Duster's slow start to handling 15–10 lb starts across many lines.15:07–17:22 — Research planter tactics: planting ~25 lb over ~2 acres (80 bu the next year) and 15 lb over ~2 acres (later “Scab Striker” at ~90 bu).18:13–19:32 — Equipment leap: Kincaid seed‑production combine (clean in ~1–1.5 hours in the field) and a small 10‑ft header plot machine (30 minutes, one person).20:09–21:11 — Seed classes explained: breeder → foundation → registered → certified; most OSU lines can be saved farm‑to‑farm, with traited exceptions (e.g., DoubleStop, Strad, some CoAXium).21:53–24:26 — How other states do it; crop mixes; Kansas heavy in wheat, Missouri soybeans, Georgia peanuts.24:37–26:06 — Coordination with K‑State and Kansas Wheat Alliance; swap seed and use Hutchinson as a distribution point.26:46–28:06 — Facilities: moved into a new building in 2018; goal to hard‑install cleaning equipment (retire the portable setup).28:36–29:46 — Agronomy: ~500k seeds/acre can still push yield; which plant types handle wider rows/skip rows best (good tillering, wide leaves).30:09–33:05 — When varieties fade: carryover strategy, hauling to the elevator, and keeping small lots in cold storage; national germplasm backup.34:33–35:24 — What's next: purple wheats, high‑fiber lines, and more CoAXium—“exciting changes ahead.”|36:00–37:30 — Why producer partnerships matter; wrap and contact info RedDirtAgronomy.com

Zach didn't begin in commercial real estate. He spent six or seven years in auto portfolio finance, making a living but not finding his calling. A move into commercial title insurance put him closer to the industry he'd later help shape. Then a series of conversations with the team at Biznow changed everything.The people drew him in. “Every single person was super dynamic, super sharp, super ambitious,” he said. After a call with the late CEO Will Friend—“the greatest salesman I've ever met”—Zach knew he had to join. He wasn't sure if he'd be on stage or in the audience. He chose the stage and never looked back.Today, Zach serves as Vice President of Sales across the Midwest for Bisnow, one of the most prominent commercial real estate events and media companies. He credits the work to a team-first mindset. “Nothing happens without the people I work with,” he said. That lens powers everything from editorial to events. The editorial engine keeps nearly 2 million subscribers across about 50 cities engaged. The events side hosts roughly 400 gatherings worldwide, with about 25 in Chicago alone. The aim is simple and hard at once: keep people informed and help them meet the right people to do their next deal.Then came the pandemic. In-person events vanished overnight. The company refused to frame the moment as “if.” It became “how.” “We did almost a thousand webinars during that year and a half,” Zach said. Production shipped a webinar every week. Sales reframed campaigns. Coordination delivered at speed. They didn't just preserve the business. They came back stronger, and they still use digital when a national niche topic needs it.Zach's take on sales is refreshingly direct. Relationships matter, but they are not the reason to buy. “I don't ever want somebody to do business with me because of our relationship,” he said. The reason must be clear value. Trust is built by doing what you say you'll do, delivering what you promised, and being accessible. Relationships accelerate timing, open doors, and create introductions, but they should not carry the full weight of the transaction.Culture is not a poster on a wall in Zach's world. It's who gets hired, promoted, and retained. “We don't hire jerks,” he said. Fun and winning sit at the core. He looks for people who care about outcomes, often former college athletes or others with a visible competitive edge. Hunger beats polish. Effort beats résumé. Everyone in the “dojo,” as they call their offices, must be an A player because every seat directly affects results.The Midwest focus is no accident. Zach sees real momentum in Chicago and neighboring markets like Detroit, the Twin Cities, Kansas City, and Columbus. Talent density is rising. Clients are investing. The city's fundamentals—from fresh water to a diverse industry base—support long-term growth. That thesis shapes where the team expands next and which asset classes they spotlight.Work and life became sharper when his family grew. Early on, Zach was out four or five nights a week and logging 90-hour stretches. That wasn't sustainable. Now he guards time with Alicia, their son Cam, and even Amy the cat. The shift worked because he trusts a strong Midwest team to execute at the same level—or better. Systems support the boundary. So does clear ownership.If you lead sales or community, here are moves you can copy this week. First, audit your offer so value stands on its own. Your relationships should speed a yes, not create it. Second, build a simple introduction flywheel. Track who needs to meet whom and facilitate two quality intros per week. Third, adopt Zach's “how, not if” stance on constraints. Write the obstacle at the top of a document, then list three workable paths around it within 30 minutes.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-sixteenth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Senior Medical Operations Officer Observer-Coach-Trainer for the Task Force Sustainment (BSB / CSSB), CPT Victor Velez on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is CPT Christina Pierce, the Officer-in-Charge, Joint Aid Station-Rear (JAS-R) attached to Bayne Jones Army Community Hospital on Fort Polk, LA.   This episode of The Crucible podcast focuses on the coordination and integration of medical operations from Role I through Role 2+, with particular emphasis on the Joint Aid Station-Rear (JAS-R) at the JRTC. The discussion outlines how units often underestimate the staffing, equipment, and Class VIII requirements needed to effectively run a JAS-R. Leaders are reminded that the JAS-R is designed to function as a Role I facility with limited expansion, and its true effectiveness is shaped by what the unit brings—particularly providers, medics, and a robust Class VIII package. A bare minimum staffing model (one provider and 12 medics split across shifts) is described as unsustainable, with best practices suggesting multiple providers and additional medics to manage patient flow, casualty movement, and external appointments. The podcast highlights how equipment such as exam tables, AEDs, suction systems, and crash carts are available in the facility, but units must stock and maintain them.   The conversation further emphasizes coordination with JRTC JAS-R staff and Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital (BJACH) at Ft. Polk to ensure proper credentialing, MHS Genesis access, and Class VIII ordering prior to arrival. Units are cautioned against arriving with inadequate supplies or relying solely on CTC funds allocation for replenishment, which is intended for sustainment, not initial stocking. Critical points include managing referrals to BJACH and local civilian hospitals, establishing transportation plans for follow-up care, and ensuring effective communication between providers, medics, and the white cell for accountability and patient tracking. The episode stresses that medical planning is not just a surgeon's responsibility but a command responsibility, and leaders must treat the JAS-R as a training opportunity and readiness rehearsal for the demands of LSCO.   Part of S05 “Beans, Bullets, Band-Aids, Batteries, Water, & Fuel” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Steven Pinker returns to Conversations with Tyler with an argument that common knowledge—those infinite loops of "I know that you know that I know"—is the hidden infrastructure that enables human coordination, from accepting paper money to toppling dictators. But Tyler wonders: if most real-world coordination works fine without recursively looping (a glance at a traffic circle), if these models break down with the slightest change in assumptions, and if anonymous internet posters are making correct but uncomfortable truths common knowledge when society might function better with noble lies, is Pinker's theory really capturing how coordination works—and might we actually need less common knowledge, not more? Tyler and Steven probe these dimensions of common knowledge—Schelling points, differential knowledge, benign hypocrisies like  a whisky bottle in a paper bag—before testing whether rational people can actually agree (spoiler: they can't converge on Hitchcock rankings despite Aumann's theorem), whether liberal enlightenment will reignite and why, what stirring liberal thinkers exist under the age 55, why only a quarter of Harvard students deserve A's, how large language models implicitly use linguistic insights while ignoring linguistic theory, his favorite track on Rubber Soul, what he'll do next, and more.

Why are Super Bowl ads so good for launching certain kinds of new products? Why do we all drive on the same side of the road? And why, despite laughing and crying together, do we often misread what others think? According to bestselling author and Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, it all comes down to common knowledge, or the phenomenon that happens when everyone knows that everyone else knows something. Hear Pinker and EconTalk's Russ Roberts explore the necessary conditions for that knowledge, and how it can be both vital and dangerous to societies, depending on how it's used. They discuss, among other things, game-theory puzzles, how laughter spreads, how totalitarian regimes exploit uncertainty about who knows what (even when they don't), and why we often don't say explicitly what we really mean to say.

During peak lunch hour at a busy restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan province, four chefs work in perfect unison, deftly churning out multiple dishes as flames leap from the woks. However, their expertise and execution are not only of interest to the customers waiting for the food, but also to over 50,000 viewers watching them live at work on Douyin, China's short-video platform.在四川省成都市一家人气餐厅的午间用餐高峰时段,四位厨师配合默契,炒锅火光跃动间,娴熟地烹制出一道道菜品。他们的精湛技艺不仅吸引着等候取餐的顾客,还受到中国短视频平台抖音上5万余名实时观看直播网友的关注。Luoxiaoyang Home-Style Cuisine, which opened its doors in June, has attracted more than 1.7 million followers on Douyin by livestreaming what goes on in its kitchen.这家名为“罗小羊家常菜”的餐厅于今年6月开业,通过直播厨房日常运作,已在抖音平台积累超170万粉丝。Responding to increasing public concern about food safety, a number of restaurants nationwide have begun livestreaming their kitchen operations - a strategy aimed at both winning diners' trust and boosting visibility through online engagement.随着公众对食品安全的关注度持续提升,全国多地餐厅纷纷开启厨房直播模式。这一举措既是为赢取消费者信任,也旨在通过线上互动提高店铺曝光度。The growing interest in "transparent kitchen" livestreams follows a heated online debate sparked by celebrity entrepreneur Luo Yonghao. Last week, Luo criticized domestic restaurant chain Xibei on China's popular social media platform Sina Weibo, alleging that many dishes were premade. His post went viral, prompting public discussion about food safety and kitchen transparency.“透明厨房”直播受热捧,源于知名企业家罗永浩引发的一场网络热议。上周,罗永浩在国内知名社交平台新浪微博上,对连锁餐饮品牌西贝提出质疑,称其多款菜品为预制菜。该言论迅速走红网络,引发公众对食品安全与厨房透明度的广泛讨论。Kitchen livestreams are not exactly new. In March, the State Council, China's Cabinet, issued a guideline strengthening food safety supervision, urging platforms and merchants to implement"internet plus transparent kitchen"initiatives and enhance oversight on delivery-only restaurants through public monitoring.厨房直播并非新鲜事物。今年3月,中国国务院印发关于加强食品安全监管的指导意见,明确要求平台与商户落实“互联网+透明厨房”举措,并通过公众监督强化对纯外卖餐厅的监管。Sun Juanjuan, an associate professor at Hebei Agricultural University and researcher at the Center for Coordination and Innovation of Food Safety Governance, said, "As customers have begun focusing on how the food is being prepared, restaurants have shifted focus from price wars to hygiene standards."河北农业大学副教授、食品安全治理协同创新中心研究员孙娟娟表示:“如今消费者更关注菜品制作过程,餐饮企业的竞争焦点已从价格战转向卫生标准。”However, some industry insiders worry that the livestreams could become mere "performances".不过,部分业内人士担忧,厨房直播可能沦为“表演秀”。Zhong Kai, a food safety expert from the China Food Information Center, said the actual impact of livestreaming on food safety supervision might be more about deterrence than regulation."Issues such as pesticide residues or cross-contamination are hard to catch via livestreams. Most food safety incidents that have been exposed have been due to snapshots of chefs not wearing masks or hats, or catching glimpses of rats in kitchens," he said.中国食品信息中心食品安全专家钟凯指出,直播对食品安全监管的实际作用更多体现在震慑层面,而非直接监管。“农药残留、交叉污染等问题难以通过直播发现。目前曝光的食品安全问题,多是因镜头捕捉到厨师未戴口罩、帽子,或厨房内出现老鼠等明显违规场景。”Yet, Sun said: "Implementing 'transparent kitchen' measures in the mass catering sector has always been a regulatory challenge. Now, with public enthusiasm and demand, it can help accelerate implementation across various regions."孙娟娟则认为:“在大众餐饮领域推行‘透明厨房',一直是监管工作的难点。如今借助公众的热情与需求,有望推动这一举措在各地加速落地。”premadeadj.预制的;预先制作的/ˌpriːˈmeɪd/deterrencen.震慑;威慑/dɪˈterəns/cross-contaminationn.交叉污染/ˌkrɒs kənˌtæmɪˈneɪʃn/

Actionable Takeaways: Use yoga or mindful movement practices as low-intensity ways to stay connected when injured. Pay attention to biomechanics during rehab—it's not just about healing tissue, but about moving better long-term. Reframe injuries as opportunities to explore different forms of movement. 10:43 – Discovering Movement Connections Through Slow Practice Key Idea: Slowing things down can reveal hidden connections between muscles, joints, and fascia. Tim found value in practicing movement slowly before adding intensity. Actionable Takeaways: Strip movements down and slow them until you can feel the sequence. Use slow practice as a diagnostic tool to notice leaks, compensations, or missing links. Build control first, then layer on speed and power. 23:26 – Parkour Training as a Unique Learning Process Key Idea: Parkour introduced Tim to exploration, problem-solving, and adapting movement to different environments. Actionable Takeaways: Use obstacle-based tasks to force creative movement solutions. Train adaptability—don't just repeat drills, but give athletes problems to solve. Embrace exploration: movement learned through play tends to stick. 31:41 – Balancing Intensity, Recovery, and Longevity in Training Key Idea: Tim highlights that chasing intensity every session can shorten careers—longevity requires balance. Actionable Takeaways: Periodize intensity with recovery—don't redline every workout. Prioritize sustainability: ask “Can I do this 10 years from now?” Recovery practices are as important as the training itself. 42:08 – The Value of Gentleness in Building Strength Key Idea: Strength doesn't always come from force—sometimes it's built by gentleness, precision, and subtlety. Actionable Takeaways: Explore lighter, more mindful work instead of always going maximal. Recognize that gentleness can rewire coordination in ways brute strength cannot. Use precise, controlled practice as a pathway to more efficient power later.

Don't miss it — we won't!   Matt Cooper is the Founder of SPRK Lighting. With a background in music, theater, and AV integration, Matt brings a unique blend of creative and technical expertise to the attractions industry. After realizing that many of his theater colleagues had moved into theme parks, he joined the industry himself and soon found that lighting design in attractions offered a dynamic canvas for storytelling. SPRK Lighting, founded in 2018, focuses on immersive and intentional lighting design for location-based entertainment venues. In this interview, Matt talks about a novel approach to lighting, theater realism, and budget vs. coordination. Novel Approach to Lighting “It was a novel approach to lighting design, specifically for attraction spaces… It was fun, it was creative, it celebrated the collaboration of a team.” Matt's entrepreneurial mindset led to the founding of SPRK Lighting with the goal of breaking the mold of the stereotypical grumpy lighting designer. Drawing from his AV integration background, he embraced the design-build model—less common in attractions—which allowed for a more seamless creative process from concept through installation. Matt believes lighting should be accessible, collaborative, and joyful, and that this approach is not only artistically fulfilling but also more cost-effective for regional attractions. By tightly integrating design and execution, SPRK eliminates the common friction between designers and integrators, maximizing value for operators, especially those with lean budgets. Theater Realism “We attempted to bring a kind of theater realism, which isn't real reality, but it's our interpretation of reality.” Using a Shanghai project as an example, Matt explained how traditional exhibit-style lighting gave way to more dramatic, theatrical techniques that brought static environments to life. Applying knowledge from live theater—such as manipulating texture, day-to-night transitions, and environmental dynamics—he and his team created lighting effects that made miniature cities appear to breathe. This philosophy elevates lighting beyond utility into a powerful storytelling tool. Whether enhancing drama in a haunted house or invoking wonder in a children's attraction, Matt emphasizes that lighting can serve as a primary medium for delivering emotional impact—when it's treated as part of the narrative, not just a technical necessity. Budget vs. Coordination “It isn't always a budgetary issue. It's often a coordination issue.” Matt argues that many lighting limitations attributed to budget are actually rooted in a lack of early collaboration. He stresses that meaningful creative integration requires upfront alignment between designers, fabricators, and operators. Too often, infrastructure like power and data is overlooked until late in a project, resulting in compromises that diminish guest impact. Instead, Matt advocates for early conversations that prioritize guest experience, ensure infrastructure supports design goals, and allow the team to find cost-effective yet compelling solutions. As he says, a great guest experience doesn't come from the most expensive lights—it comes from lights used with purpose, collaboration, and care.   To learn more about SPRK Lighting, visit www.sprklighting.com or connect with Matt on LinkedIn.
