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.

This Day in Legal History: First American Anti-Slavery Society OrganizedOn April 14, 1775, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the first American society dedicated to the abolition of slavery was organized. Known as the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, it marked a critical early step in the formal anti-slavery movement in the United States. Among its key founders were Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Benjamin Rush, both prominent figures of the American Enlightenment and signers of the Declaration of Independence. The society was composed primarily of Quakers, whose religious convictions aligned with the idea that slavery was morally wrong and incompatible with Christian values.While its initial activities were limited, the group laid the groundwork for more organized and effective abolitionist efforts in the decades to come. In 1787, after the American Revolution, the society was reconstituted as the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, with Franklin serving as its president. This reorganization gave the movement greater political clout and visibility. The society pushed for gradual emancipation, legal reforms, and the education and employment of freed Black individuals.Franklin's involvement lent substantial legitimacy to the cause, especially when he submitted a petition to the First Congress in 1790 calling for the federal government to take action against slavery. Although the petition was ultimately rejected, it sparked the first significant congressional debate over slavery in U.S. history. The 1775 founding of the original society represents a rare pre-Revolutionary acknowledgment of slavery's moral contradictions within the new American experiment. It also helped forge an early link between legal reform and moral advocacy, a tradition that would define much of the abolitionist movement in the 19th century.Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, is set to face trial in Washington over allegations that it created an illegal monopoly by acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) argues that these billion-dollar acquisitions were designed to eliminate emerging competition and solidify Facebook's dominance in the social media space. Filed in 2020, the case seeks to force Meta to sell off Instagram and WhatsApp, a move that would significantly impact the company's business, especially since Instagram alone is estimated to account for over half of its U.S. ad revenue.Meta's legal team has pushed back, calling the case weak and politically motivated. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to testify, facing scrutiny over past emails where he framed the Instagram acquisition as a defensive move against competition. Meta argues that the market has since changed, with strong competition from TikTok, YouTube, and Apple's messaging services.The FTC claims Meta still dominates platforms for sharing content among friends and family, while alternatives like Snapchat and MeWe lack sufficient market presence. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has allowed the case to proceed but acknowledged the FTC faces a tough road. The trial will run through July and, if the FTC prevails, a second trial will determine remedies like a forced breakup. The case is one of several targeting alleged monopolistic practices by major tech firms, including Google, Amazon, and Apple.Facebook owner Meta faces existential threat at trial over Instagram, WhatsApp | ReutersThe Trump administration has repeatedly accused immigrants of serious criminal ties—such as gang leadership or terrorism—without backing those claims with evidence in court. Presumably because they aren't interested in immediately perjuring themselves. One high-profile example involved the FBI's arrest of a Salvadoran man in Virginia, publicly labeled a top MS-13 leader and terrorist. Yet the Justice Department dropped the sole charge—illegal gun possession—and instead moved to deport him without pursuing gang-related allegations in court. A similar case involved Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported and later labeled a human trafficker, though no such charge appeared in legal filings. Officials also deported 238 Venezuelans alleged to be part of the Tren de Aragua gang, despite some having no criminal records. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended their imprisonment, citing national security, while declining to present supporting evidence. Legal experts caution that making unsupported public accusations risks undermining prosecutions and due process, as it can taint juries and violate Justice Department policy.Some judges have pushed back. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis emphasized that serious accusations should be vetted through the legal system, not just made in press conferences. Meanwhile, other alleged MS-13 members were charged through traditional indictments, showing the DOJ still uses evidence-backed prosecutions in some cases. Critics say the administration's approach mixes law enforcement with political messaging, leveraging public fear to justify aggressive immigration actions.Trump officials push immigrant gang message, but sometimes don't back it up in court | ReutersA group of Harvard University professors has filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from reviewing nearly $9 billion in federal grants and contracts awarded to the university. The lawsuit, brought by the Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors and its national organization, argues that the administration is unlawfully targeting the school to suppress free speech and academic freedom. The review was announced amid ongoing scrutiny of elite universities over pro-Palestinian protests, diversity programs, and transgender policies.Federal agencies including the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, along with the General Services Administration, began investigating $255.6 million in contracts and $8.7 billion in multi-year grants. They demanded Harvard meet conditions to continue receiving funds, such as banning protester mask-wearing, eliminating DEI programs, cooperating with law enforcement, and revising departments allegedly involved in antisemitic harassment.The administration has cited Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination at federally funded institutions, as its legal basis. However, the plaintiffs argue that the government has not followed the proper legal process and is instead using funding threats to impose political viewpoints. Harvard law professor Andrew Crespo said the government cannot silence speech it disagrees with through funding leverage.Harvard professors sue over Trump's review of $9 billion in funding | Reuters This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: President Johnson Vetoes Civil Rights Act of 1866On March 27, 1866, President Andrew Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, an extraordinary move that underscored his deep hostility to racial equality and his resistance to Reconstruction efforts. The bill, which Congress had passed in the wake of the Civil War, aimed to grant full citizenship to formerly enslaved people and guarantee their basic civil rights. Johnson, a Southern Democrat who remained loyal to the Union, used his veto power to block progress for freedmen, claiming the bill infringed on states' rights and unfairly favored Black Americans over whites. His justification was steeped in racism, couching white supremacy in the language of constitutional interpretation.Johnson's veto message argued that Black Americans were not yet qualified for citizenship and that extending such rights would “operate in favor of the colored and against the white race.” He blatantly ignored the atrocities of slavery and the urgent need for federal protections, given the widespread violence and oppression freedmen faced in the South. His opposition wasn't just a political miscalculation—it was a moral failure and a betrayal of the Union victory. Johnson actively emboldened white supremacist groups and Southern legislatures seeking to reassert control through Black Codes and racial terror.Fortunately, Congress overrode his veto—marking the first time in American history that a major piece of legislation was enacted over a presidential veto. This moment laid the groundwork for the 14th Amendment, which enshrined birthright citizenship and equal protection under the law. Johnson's veto, however, remains a stark example of how executive power can be wielded to delay justice and reinforce structural racism.The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) plans to revoke a controversial interpretive rule that applied certain credit card protections to “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) products. This move follows a lawsuit filed by the Financial Technology Association (FTA), which represents major BNPL providers like PayPal, Klarna, Block, and Zip. In a joint court filing, the CFPB and FTA asked a federal judge to pause litigation while the agency works on rolling back the rule.The rule, issued in May 2024, treated BNPL plans like credit cards under the Truth in Lending Act, requiring providers to offer billing statements, handle disputes, and process refunds. It officially took effect in July, but the CFPB allowed a grace period for compliance. The FTA argued the CFPB overstepped its authority by reclassifying pay-in-four products—short-term, no-interest loans—without formal rulemaking or understanding the distinct nature of BNPL.Despite some early industry cooperation and encouragement from the CFPB for other regulators to follow suit, fintech firms claimed the rule created regulatory confusion by misapplying standards meant for revolving credit. House Republicans tried to overturn the rule legislatively last year but failed.The case, Financial Technology Association v. CFPB, remains on hold while the CFPB prepares formal steps to rescind the rule.CFPB Plans to Revoke Buy Now, Pay Later Rule Fintechs Fought (1)A federal judge in Washington, Beryl Howell, denied the Justice Department's attempt to disqualify her from overseeing Perkins Coie v. U.S. Department of Justice, a case challenging a Trump executive order targeting the law firm. The DOJ accused Howell of bias, pointing to remarks she made in public settings that criticized Trump and referenced his ties to Fusion GPS. In their motion, DOJ officials claimed she showed “partiality” and “animus” toward the president, citing her characterization of Trump having a “bee in his bonnet” over past political investigations.Howell sharply rebuked the motion, calling it an “ad hominem” attack intended to undermine judicial integrity rather than engage with the legal merits. She emphasized that the parties would receive fair treatment and dismissed the disqualification effort as an attempt to preemptively discredit an unfavorable outcome.The case stems from a Trump executive order aimed at punishing law firms perceived as politically hostile, including Perkins Coie, by restricting their federal building access and terminating government contracts with their clients. Perkins Coie argued the order caused immediate and severe business harm, including the loss of a long-standing client. Trump has since issued similar orders against other firms, such as Jenner & Block.The DOJ's attempt to remove Howell reflects a broader pattern of politicized efforts to delegitimize judicial rulings unfavorable to Trump. Meanwhile, a prior ethics complaint against Howell, filed by Rep. Elise Stefanik over earlier comments she made about the erosion of truth in public discourse, is still pending.Judge Rejects Trump Bid to Oust Her From Perkins Coie Fight (2)A federal appeals court has refused to pause a lower court ruling requiring the Trump administration to reinstate over 17,000 federal workers fired during a mass purge of probationary employees across six government agencies. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the administration had not shown that the district judge erred in finding the firings were likely unlawful. At issue is the role of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which Judge William Alsup said overstepped its authority by ordering the firings despite lacking the legal power to do so.The affected agencies include the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Energy, Interior, and Treasury. Some agencies claimed to have fired only a few hundred employees, while others—such as the Treasury and Agriculture Departments—terminated thousands. The fired employees were mostly probationary workers, often with less than two years in their roles, though some had longer federal service.The ruling doesn't prevent agencies from terminating probationary workers entirely, but it criticizes the centralized, OPM-directed method used. The Trump administration said it is working to reinstate the workers, placing them on paid leave for now, and has asked the Supreme Court to intervene.This case parallels another decision out of Maryland, where a judge ordered 25,000 similar reinstatements across 18 agencies, though on different legal grounds. That ruling has also been allowed to stand while under appeal.Appeals court won't pause ruling that forced US to reinstate federal workers | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes this week, Italy is attempting to tax the illusion of “free” on the internet—and I wrote about why that's a dangerous turn in VAT policy. In this piece, I walk through a recent move by Italian tax authorities to treat signing up for social media accounts as taxable barter transactions. The core claim is that when users hand over their personal data in exchange for access to a platform like Facebook or LinkedIn, a “supply for consideration” has occurred under EU VAT law. That would make the transaction taxable—even though no money changes hands.I argued that while user data undeniably has value, the theory stretches the purpose of VAT well beyond its policy design. VAT is supposed to be a consumption tax on goods and services, not a levy on intangible exchanges of attention or personal information. If this theory holds, Italy wouldn't just be taxing social media—it would be opening the door to taxing nearly every online interaction where data changes hands.I also pointed out that VAT requires a tax base, and valuing user data at the point of account creation is speculative at best. The market value of data depends on aggregation and use over time, not on the individual transaction. Plus, data isn't “consumed” in the way goods or traditional services are—it's copied, repurposed, and monetized indefinitely. That doesn't sit comfortably with the core logic of a consumption tax.Finally, I highlighted how this approach could ripple across the EU, creating regulatory chaos. If a cookie consent or an email sign-up becomes a taxable event, we risk converting the very architecture of the internet into a VAT trap. Italy's frustration with digital tax avoidance is understandable—but this isn't the right solution.​​Italy—Where Creating A Social Media Account May Be A Taxable Event This is a public episode.

Today we cover the stories of two federal departments that are examples of both corruption and fraud and how hard it is to give up power when it all comes to an end. You are not going to believe what you hear, but it's all true.

Eco-anxiety. Climate guilt. Pre-traumatic stress disorder. Solastalgia. The study of environmental emotions and related mental health impacts is a rapidly growing field, but most researchers overlook a closely related concern: reproductive anxiety. Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question (U California Press, 2024) is the first comprehensive study of how environmental emotions influence whether, when, and why people today decide to become parents—or not. Jade S. Sasser argues that we can and should continue to create the families we desire, but that doing so equitably will require deep commitments to social, reproductive, and climate justice. Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question presents original research, drawing from in-depth interviews and national survey results that analyze the role of race in environmental emotions and the reproductive plans young people are making as a result. Sasser concludes that climate emotions and climate justice are inseparable, and that culturally appropriate mental and emotional health services are a necessary component to ensure climate justice for vulnerable communities.

In this era of VA budget cuts and workforce layoffs, we talked about it with Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Communications Chief, Air Force veteran Dan Clare. After a recent meeting with VA Secretary Doug Collins, who recently spoke at DAV's Mid-Winter Conference, Clare shared how Collins claimed his #1 priority was taking care of our vets, but did not offer any details about how exactly he's going to do it. Clare explains that massive cuts to VA staff, seems ill-advised considering over 800K new veterans have recently registered for VA care and over 1M claims have been filed, since the PACT Act, toxic exposure bill, became law three years ago. We also dove into the benefit claims process, and how DAV is there to help all veterans get their applications processed and ensure they stand a chance at getting approved. Clare also discussed alternative health care treatment options DAV members want to see in the future. And although DAV members hope the new administration will deliver results, they have yet to hear anything specific from VA or when they will deliver promising new treatments. If you're a vet who has been affected by federal layoffs or cancelled contracts … Contact DAV so they can share your opinions here: https://www.dav.org/defend-veteran-jobs/ DAV has support for all veterans submitting VA benefit claims. Find the help you need navigating your benefits process here: https://www.dav.org/find-your-local-office/ About DAV: https://www.dav.org/ We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America's injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life. This mission is carried forward by: Providing free, professional assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining benefits and services earned through military service and provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies of government. Providing outreach concerning its program services to the American people generally, and to disabled veterans and their families specifically. Representing the interests of disabled veterans, their families, their widowed spouses and their orphans before Congress, the White House and the Judicial Branch, as well as state and local government. Extending DAV's mission of hope into the communities where these veterans and their families live through a network of state-level Departments and local Chapters. Providing a structure through which disabled veterans can express their compassion for their fellow veterans through a variety of volunteer programs.

On Friday, the Trump administration announced it will cut $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University in New York City for allegedly failing to protect Jewish students from harassment. Additionally, the administration has directed the Departments of Education, Justice, and Health and Human Services to form a Federal Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism and investigate participants in pro-Palestinian protests on campuses last year. On Saturday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia graduate student and U.S. resident from Palestine, on State Department orders to revoke Khalil's student visa. When ICE discovered through his attorney that Khalil had a green card, they told him they would revoke that instead. Khalil has not been formally accused of a crime.Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.

RaeAnn Tucker, Alex Lindbom, and Megan Washburn from the Henry and Stark Health Departments joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to promote health and safety. Representatives from the Henry and Stark Health Departments emphasized the necessity of testing well water. Available at the Kewanee location for a nominal fee of $25, these testing kits ensure water quality as the summer season approaches. Additionally, Megan Washburn and Alex Lindbom highlighted the importance of adhering to food safety regulations, encouraging early permit applications to sidestep late fees. Residents with concerns or questions are urged to contact the Environmental Health Division at 309-852-0197 for expert guidance and support in maintaining community health standards.

As measles continue to spread in Texas, health officials in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are looking to add testing centers to get quicker returns on measles tests. Dr. Philip Huang, director of Dallas County's Department of Health and Human Services, said the department could add local testing centers should measles cases spike in North Texas. The West Texas outbreak neared 200 cases Friday; In other news, many Ellis County residents were picking up the pieces Sunday after high straight-line winds blew through the area Saturday, injuring at least four people, including one man who died.  Meteorologists say winds reached up to 90 miles per hour; a man died after being shot last Thursday by Frisco police as officers attempted to serve a warrant. Family members told The Dallas Morning News that police have shared little information about the circumstances that led to the shooting death of 43-year old Gregory Dylan Sheppard; and the NFL salary cap continues to skyrocket. The league informed teams at the scouting combine the cap will be a record-high $279.2 million in 2025, an increase of $23.8 million. It's up $102 million since 2018. What does that mean for the Cowboys? Simply put, the club will have more money than expected to retain its free agents and possibly add new talent to the roster. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jaime Hunt sits down with Brittney Westbrook to discuss the nuances of working with graphic designers and managing creative teams. They dive into the challenges of balancing creative freedom with strategic goals, the importance of giving actionable feedback, and how marketing leaders can foster stronger partnerships with designers. Whether you're leading a creative team or collaborating with designers on marketing projects, this episode is packed with insights on how to improve workflows, enhance communication, and ultimately create more effective marketing materials.Key TakeawaysDesigners are strategic communicators, not just decorators. They translate complex messages into compelling visuals that align with marketing goals.A well-structured creative brief is essential. It should outline objectives, audience, required content, and deliverables while still allowing room for creative autonomy.Collaboration is key. Designers should be involved in project kickoff meetings and work closely with writers and strategists to ensure alignment.Provide specific and actionable feedback. Avoid vague statements like "make it pop" and instead focus on objectives, audience needs, and functionality.Respect designers' time and creative process. Avoid last-minute changes and ensure they have the bandwidth to do their best work.Break down silos within marketing teams. Encourage cross-functional collaboration to create more cohesive and impactful campaigns.Higher ed marketing should look beyond higher ed for inspiration. Drawing from consumer brands and other industries can help create fresher, more engaging designs.Why Do Designers Need a Creative Brief?Many marketing teams push back on creative briefs, seeing them as an unnecessary extra step. But as Brittney explains, a creative brief doesn't have to be intimidating. It can be as simple as a well-organized email that outlines key details: the project's objectives, target audience, timeline, required elements, and deliverables.Having a structured brief prevents last-minute surprises and ensures designers understand the strategy behind the project. For ongoing campaigns, creating an overarching creative brief that can be referenced for multiple pieces can save time while maintaining consistency.How Can Marketers Give Better Feedback to Designers?One of the biggest frustrations designers face is vague or unhelpful feedback. Instead of saying, “I don't like it,” try to pinpoint why: Does the design meet the project's goals? Does it align with the intended audience? Is there a functional issue with readability or layout?Brittney suggests starting with what works before addressing areas that need improvement. Ask open-ended questions about design choices, rather than dictating specific changes. And most importantly, remember that designers are professionals—trust their expertise while providing clear, strategic guidance.What Are the Unique Challenges of Design in Higher Ed?Unlike corporate brands where strict brand guidelines are universally followed, higher ed institutions often struggle with brand consistency. Departments may push for unique identities that deviate from institutional branding, creating tension between designers and internal stakeholders.Marketing leaders play a crucial role in navigating these challenges. They should advocate for brand consistency while ensuring departments understand the value of strategic design. Additionally, fostering collaboration between designers and other communicators, rather than treating them as an “end-of-the-line” production team, helps prevent misalignment.How Can Marketing Leaders Support Creative Teams?Creativity doesn't happen in a vacuum—designers need time and space to think, experiment, and refine their work. Marketing leaders should:Protect their designers' time by minimizing unnecessary meetings and last-minute requests.Encourage cross-team collaboration from the start of a project, rather than operating in a handoff-based workflow.Recognize the strategic role of design in marketing and advocate for designers as key contributors to messaging and storytelling.By treating designers as partners rather than production workers, marketing leaders can create a culture where creativity thrives and projects are more successful.Guest Name: Brittney Westbrook, Senior Marketing Officer, University of Southern MississippiGuest Social: linkedin.com/in/brittneywestbrookGuest Bio: Brittney Westbrook is a strategic communications leader whose experience spans marketing, public relations, branding, and creative.

Departments of Government Secretaries are supposed to manage their staff, ensure accountability, and know what's happening in their agencies. If we need another department—DOGE—to do this for them, then why have Secretaries at all? It's an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy and a waste of resources.Then there's Elon Musk, suggesting that federal workers send daily emails just to prove they're alive. That logic is flawed. If dead people are somehow getting paid, they can just as easily send back emails. This entire exercise makes no sense.Each department, with its newly confirmed leadership under a new president, should run the government—without an extra, redundant oversight body. A shadow cabinet only adds to the waste, forcing taxpayers to fund DOGE, Elon, and the Secretaries all at once. It's inefficient and unnecessary.Submitted by Rev. Renaldo C.

In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Dr. Jon Belkowitz and host Seth Tandett discuss the excessive costs and challenges associated with low carbon concrete, particularly Type 1L cement. They delve into the implications for the cement industry, the struggles faced by Departments of Transportation (DOTs) with new cement standards, and misconceptions surrounding blended cements. The conversation covers the shift towards performance-based design, the implications of ACI 323 on concrete practices, and the role of concrete pumping in quality assurance. They also highlight the importance of long-term testing for new materials and the need for research and development in ready-mix concrete to address industry challenges. Takeaways Low carbon concrete has significant cost implications for the industry. Misconceptions about blended cements are prevalent in the industry. The shift to low carbon cements has led to premature cracking issues. Concrete performance is not solely determined by its strength. Performance-based design has shifted the responsibility from prescriptive to outcome-based. Long-term testing is crucial for new concrete materials to ensure reliability. Research and development in ready-mix concrete is often neglected in contracts.

SummaryThe conversation explores the evolving landscape of telehealth, focusing on recent regulatory changes, challenges faced by Congress in legislating telehealth, and the implications for patient care. The panel discusses the importance of documentation, access to services, and the need for guardrails to ensure quality care. They also highlight the historical context of telehealth and its restructuring during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for clarity in its implementation moving forward. The conversation delves into the complexities of healthcare compliance, focusing on the challenges of time documentation, the implications of macro time statements, and the necessity for effective communication between departments to ensure compliance and quality patient care. The speakers emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of documentation and the need for a collaborative approach to workflow processes in healthcare settings.Takeaways Telehealth regulations are changing, impacting patient access. Congress is struggling to address telehealth legislation effectively. Quality of telehealth documentation is often inadequate. Access to telehealth services remains a significant issue. Telehealth has been a part of healthcare for decades. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth services. Patients often prefer in-person visits for social interaction. There is confusion about telehealth benefits and coverage. Specialty care access has improved through telehealth. Guardrails are necessary to prevent abuse of telehealth services. Accessibility to healthcare services is crucial for all patients, especially seniors. Time documentation in healthcare can lead to significant challenges and misunderstandings. Macro time statements can degrade the quality of medical documentation. Providers should focus on medical necessity rather than just time spent with patients. Compliance and workflow processes must be integrated to avoid issues in healthcare delivery. Departments within healthcare organizations need to communicate effectively to ensure compliance. Auditing practices should be mindful of the nuances in time documentation. Healthcare providers should avoid using canned statements that do not reflect actual patient care. Collaboration among departments can lead to better compliance and patient outcomes. Healthcare organizations should consider hiring compliance consultants for a comprehensive review.

DOGE is holding to account various Departments within the US government, As our comprehension of fraud waste and abuse, other crimes grows, we're also beginning to realize the full impact of unchecked agencies. Policies intended to create positive impacts to humanity are now shown to have the opposite impact. Our desire to be compassionate has caused incalculable harm when it comes to the human trafficking of children. Even worse, the trafficking of tender aged children.

IT and security teams are under constant pressure to streamline operations while maintaining strong security and compliance. In this Brand Story episode, Chase Doelling, Principal Strategist at JumpCloud, shares insights from the company's latest SME IT Trends Report. The discussion highlights key trends, challenges, and opportunities that IT teams face, particularly in small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).The Role of IT in Business OperationsDoelling emphasizes the increasing responsibility placed on IT teams. Historically seen as cost centers, IT and security functions are now recognized as critical to business success. More organizations are merging IT and security efforts, ensuring that security considerations are built into every decision rather than being addressed reactively.A major takeaway from the report is the shift toward decentralization in IT decision-making. Departments are increasingly adopting tools independently, leading to an explosion of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. While this autonomy can boost efficiency, it also creates risks. Shadow IT—where employees use unauthorized tools—has become a top concern, with 88% of organizations identifying it as a risk.AI, Security, and IT InvestmentThe report also reveals a growing divide in AI adoption. Organizations are either moving aggressively into AI initiatives or staying completely on the sidelines. Those embracing AI often integrate it into security and IT operations, balancing innovation with risk management.Budget trends indicate that IT spending is rising, with security tools accounting for a significant portion. The need for robust cybersecurity measures has pushed organizations to prioritize visibility, access management, and compliance. A notable shift is occurring in remote and hybrid work models. While remote work surged in previous years, only 9% of organizations now report being fully remote. This return to office environments introduces new IT challenges, particularly in managing networks and devices across hybrid workplaces.How JumpCloud Supports IT TeamsJumpCloud's platform simplifies IT and security operations by unifying identity and access management, device management, and security policies. One key challenge IT teams face is visibility—knowing who has access to what systems and ensuring compliance with security policies. JumpCloud's approach allows organizations to manage users and devices from a single platform, reducing complexity and improving security posture.An example of JumpCloud's impact is its ability to detect and manage SaaS usage. If an employee tries to use an unauthorized tool, JumpCloud can guide them toward an approved alternative, preventing security risks without stifling productivity. This balance between security and efficiency is essential, particularly for SMBs that lack dedicated security teams.Looking Ahead: IT and Security ConvergenceDoelling teases upcoming research that will explore the relationship between IT and security teams. With these functions blending more than ever, organizations need insights into how to align strategies, resources, and budgets effectively.For IT and security professionals navigating a landscape of increased threats, shifting work environments, and AI-driven innovation, the insights from JumpCloud's research provide a valuable benchmark. To gain a deeper understanding of these trends and their implications, listen to the full episode and explore the latest SME IT Trends Report.Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more. Guest: Chase Doelling, Principal Strategist, JumpCloud [@JumpCloud], On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/chasedoelling/ResourcesLearn more about JumpCloud and their offering: https://itspm.ag/jumpcloud-pg7zTo download the SME IT Trends Report: https://itspm.ag/jumpcljqywCatch more stories from JumpCloud at https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/jumpcloudAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story
