Democratic committee leaders are disputing the Trump administration's plans to shuffle components of the Education Department into the Labor Department. A group of four senators say moving career and technical education programs between agencies is not within the President's authority. The lawmakers reiterated that it's up to Congress to decide whether federal agencies should be rearranged or dismantled. They're demanding that the administration leave Education's programs as-is, since Congress has not approved the transition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The report from the Inaugural Valentia Island Symposium on Subsea Cable Security and Resilience, held from October 10-12, 2024, was launched at the European Maritime Day Event in Cork City. This unique Symposium brought together Irish and international experts from industry, academia, and government to address critical issues related to submarine telecommunications cables. Hosted at the historic Valentia Island Transatlantic Cable Station, a symbol of global communication and innovation, the Symposium provided a unique setting to reflect on the historical, political, social, economic, and technological dimensions of subsea cable security and resilience. Subsea Cable Security and Resilience Growing digital dependencies as well as recent geopolitical tensions and the concurrent climate crisis have placed the topic of critical infrastructure protection at the top of policy, industry and research agendas. This includes subsea telecommunications cables, across which over 99 percent of transcontinental data traffic transits and upon which countries across the globe increasingly rely as they continue to digitally transform their economies and societies The report describes several recurring themes central to the discussion on subsea cable security and resilience including; Geopolitical tensions affecting the subsea cable ecosystem. The need for public-private engagement at sea and on land as the subsea cable industry owns and operates most cable systems, while at the same time, governments are responsible for national security and the delivery of essential services. The critical role of technology in both public and private efforts to ensure the resilience and security of subsea cables systems. The Valentia Transatlantic Cable Foundation was proud to host this not-for-profit event at the place from where the first transatlantic cable was laid over 150 years ago. The event was run in collaboration with a team of Irish and international researchers as well as global industry actors, and with the generous support of AquaComms, Ireland's Departments of Foreign Affairs and Defence, the IDA, Aurora, Philip Lee, Analysys Mason and the European Subsea Cables Association (ESCA). The report is available at https://www.valentiacable.com/event/cable-symposium/ Over three days of presentations, thematic panels and side events, recognized experts in the field examined historical continuities and discontinuities in key security and resilience questions; how security and resilience come together in national policy; current policy and practice in identifying and responding to subsea cable-related incidents; how industry and government are adapting to the current geopolitical environment; core characteristics of the cable repair eco-system and related challenges; technology's contribution to security and resilience of the systems; and current and future policy and regulatory issues. Several recurring themes central to the discussion on subsea cable security and resilience are evident. Principle among them is the growing complexity of the regulatory environment at a time when, for both resilience and security purposes, regulation needs to be more streamlined and predictable, attuned to shifting cable ownership models, as well as better coordinated and harmonised across connected countries, while also meeting one of its primary aims, which is to prevent and mitigate risks that could negatively impact individuals, communities, or entire societies. Many governments are working towards these goals within a broader framework of critical infrastructure protection. Second, as in the past, geopolitical tensions affect the subsea cable ecosystem. They influence the geographies of the physical network and spill over into regulation and an ever-broadening number of policy areas, at national, regional and international levels. Ensuring the availability of the systems and of fleets and supply chains is a concern of both industry and government. It requires vario...

Unser heutiger Gast hat an der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn vergleichende Religionswissenschaft studiert und dort bereits seine Leidenschaft für das Hinterfragen tief verankerter Überzeugungen entdeckt. Nach weiteren Ausbildungen in systemischer Beratung und NLP sammelte er praktische Erfahrung in Coaching- und Innovationsmethoden, von Design Thinking bis Scrum. Seit über einem Jahrzehnt ist er geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der TWENTYONE SKILLS GmbH, einem Unternehmen, das vor allem eine Mission verfolgt: Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler mit den Führungs- und Kommunikation-Skills auszustatten, die sie in einer zunehmend komplexen Forschungslandschaft dringend brauchen. Sein Ansatz: E-Learning-Programme und Workshops, die fachliche Exzellenz mit den Anforderungen moderner Team- und Projektführung verbinden, sei es für große Departments mit mehreren Hundert Mitarbeitenden oder für junge Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, die zum ersten Mal Teamverantwortung übernehmen. Wer mit ihm zusammengearbeitet hat, beschreibt ihn als inspirierend, kreativ und professionell zugleich, jemanden, der Menschen die Werkzeuge an die Hand gibt, ihre eigenen Potenziale zu entdecken und auszuschöpfen. Sein Credo: Eine veränderte Arbeitswelt braucht neue Ideen – gerade in der Forschung, wo kluge Köpfe schnell an Führungsgrenzen stoßen können. Seit acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt – statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 480 Gesprächen haben wir mit über 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wie gelingt es, hochqualifizierten Forschenden die dringend benötigten Leadership-Skills zu vermitteln, ohne ihre wissenschaftliche Identität zu kompromittieren? Welche Methoden und Tools sind besonders wirksam, um komplexe akademische Herausforderungen in praxisnahe Lernerfahrungen zu übersetzen? Und wie verändern E-Learning-Angebote das Miteinander in Laboren, Forschungsprojekten und Universitäten? Fest steht: Für die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit brauchen wir neue Impulse und daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

SummaryIn this engaging episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley and Kendall Jasper are joined by Humphrey Chin, founder of CLIPr, who shared how his startup is revolutionizing documentation for police officers. Originally conceived as a tool to pinpoint important moments in any video—serving students, event attendees, and enterprise teams—CLIPr found its true calling during a pivotal accelerator program. After a Bentonville police officer heard Humphrey's pitch, it became clear that law enforcement needed a faster, smarter solution for creating police reports from hours of body cam footage.CLIPr's technology now automatically generates the first draft of a police report from body cam videos, slashing the time officers must spend on paperwork. As Humphrey explains, this means police can focus more on patrol and less on administrative burdens. By integrating seamlessly with body camera providers, CLIPr simplifies uploading, ensures searchability, and maintains accuracy—capturing what's said, not just what's seen.The reception from law enforcement has been overwhelmingly positive. Departments now go straight to discussing pricing, not just possibilities—a clear sign CLIPr solves a real problem. Humphrey hopes this is just the beginning, envisioning future applications for social workers, insurance adjusters, and anyone facing mountains of documentation.

Harry talks with Mark Tushnet, the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law, Emeritus at Harvard Law School, and one of the country's leading constitutional scholars. After a brief discussion about his new book, “Who Am I To Judge,” the two dive in to the law and politics of the Trump administration assault on elite universities, in particular Harvard and Columbia. Tushnet explains why he thinks that the Administrations' broad-gauged demands are unconstitutional on several grounds, including a somewhat underdeveloped principle in the law of fit between Government objection and proposed remedy, i.e. here that the administration is stating concerns about antisemitism to justify an extremely broad range of demanded changes. Tushnet describes the fervent opposition on campus and in the Harvard alumni community to the Administration's demands, and lays out Harvard's overall strategic thinking in the short, medium, and long terms. The two then turn to the very different response from Columbia, including discussion of the Administration's apparent consideration of a very novel approach to continuing supervision of the university under the model previous Departments of Justice have employed for corrupt police departments.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

My guest today is David Staley, associate professor in the Department of History at the Ohio State University, where he teaches courses in digital history and historical methods, and holds courtesy appointments in the Departments of Design where he is taught courses in design history and design futures, and the Department of Educational Studies where he has led the forum on the university. This is his fifth appearance on Historically Thinking, which means I owe him a coffee mug. He has previously been on with co-author Dominic Endicott to talk about their book Knowledge Towns;  with Brent Orrell to talk about "The History of the Future"; explaining the beauties of historical context; and, in our very first conversation together, describing some potential Alternative Universities. This time we'll be talking about his book, Visionary Histories out for a few years now, available for free on Apple Books. In it David has written "twenty histories of the future"–originally essays in the Columbus Underground–which range from the future of artificial intelligence, to democracy, capitalism, education, and leisure. So this means that this will be at least the fourth time that David tries to convince me that historians have something to say about the future other than giving a shrug.
