Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. From wire-bending machines and digital ortho workflows to Vulcanite dentures and photogrammetry, this episode from the DLAT floor is packed with stories, laughs, and a whole lot of dental lab wisdom. First up, the crew sits down with Jason Dyas — better known these days as the man behind Ortho Outlaw and everyone's favorite outlaw mascot, Clyde. Jason shares his journey from construction work and garage-built orthodontic appliances to running successful ortho labs and diving headfirst into digital technology. What started with fax-machine marketing and Walmart bench grinders eventually evolved into automated wire-bending machines, digital scanning, social media content creation, and a growing mission to help older labs embrace modern workflows instead of shutting their doors. The conversation covers everything from AI-driven ortho tech and the future of wire bending to building a brand, traveling to industry events around the world, and how Ortho Outlaw became one of the most recognizable new names in orthodontic lab social media. Then the podcast catches up with longtime friend of the show Jim Collis for an incredible deep dive into 45 years of dental technology experience. Jim talks about teaching hands-on courses at DLAT, helping labs transition from analog workflows into digital dentures and 3D printing, and why education is still the key to success in modern dentistry. From discussing AI-assisted denture design and automated workflows to reminiscing about fixing Vulcanite dentures and the earliest days of implants, Jim delivers one amazing story after another. Along the way, he shares lessons from his CDT journey, the mentors who shaped his career, his passion for consulting and education, and why he still loves this industry after nearly five decades. It's equal parts history lesson, technology discussion, and classic Voices From the Bench chaos — complete with Star Trek references, Slurpee stories, and enough off-topic tangents to make Barb proud.Special Guests: Clyde, Jason Dyas, and Jim Collis CDT.
Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. CAM has been a major topic lately, and a lot of that conversation keeps coming back to hyperDENT. But instead of just talking about the software itself, it's worth looking at real-world experience. Imagine USA has been using hyperDENT in their own lab for over 15 years. That kind of longevity says a lot—they're not just selling and supporting it, they're relying on it in their own production every single day. That's what really sets them apart. This week's episode brings it full circle as Elvis reconnects with one of the podcast's very first guests, Renata Bundy, now a longtime professor at New York City College of Technology. Along with her are two technicians who represent both sides of the journey—lab owner Roberto Rossi and workflow master Eugene Vega—creating a conversation that dives deep into education, mentorship, and what it really takes to succeed in today's dental lab world. Roberto shares his unlikely path from working sanitation in New York to building a thriving lab, Synergy Dental Studio, over nearly three decades. With a relentless focus on quality, constant improvement, and embracing digital (while still questioning it), he explains how his lab has grown into a tight-knit, high-level operation. Eugene adds perspective from inside the lab, describing his evolution from student to managing daily workflow, highlighting how important environment, mentorship, and work ethic are when transitioning from school to real-world production. Renata ties it all together from the educational side, reflecting on over 20 years of teaching and how the program has evolved alongside the industry—from analog fundamentals to digital workflows—while still preparing students for the realities they'll face after graduation. The group doesn't shy away from the tough truths either: low starting pay, steep learning curves, and the high dropout rate among new technicians. But the message is clear—stick with it, find the right lab, and the opportunity is there. It's a conversation about growth, grit, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people—whether that's in the classroom or the lab. And if nothing else, you'll learn that a little Italian lunch might just be the secret to building a loyal team.Special Guests: Eugene Vega, Renata Budny, CDT, TE, and Roberto Rossi.

This episode of WeBER Talks is dedicated to economic growth challenges and opportunities for the Western Balkans. WeBER 3.0 guest is Nicola Pontara, Country Manager of the World Bank in Serbia. He talked with Milena Mihajlović, CEP Programme Director and WeBER 3.0, about the region's future and how reforms, governance, and technology can propel the Western Balkans toward convergence with the EU. 1. Growth Slowdown & Socioeconomic Divergence: While the Western Balkans experienced solid growth in the early 2000s, the region has struggled to maintain momentum post-2008. Nicola highlights the "golden period" between 2000 and 2008 but warns that without significant reforms, convergence with the EU could stretch as far as 2093 in a pessimistic scenario. 2. Governance Deficit: Poor governance remains a significant roadblock. Nicola emphasizes that countries in the region must focus on improving the rule of law, combating corruption, and increasing government accountability to accelerate growth and reduce the trust gap with their citizens.

In the evolving landscape of media and information dissemination, the trajectory of Tucker Carlson's post-Fox News venture into the digital sphere via X/Twitter has been a focal point of intrigue and skepticism. Known for his polarizing views and spirited commentary, Carlson's transition to a platform known for its immediacy and unfiltered reach was watched closely, both by supporters and critics. However, amidst this transition, claims regarding the viewership numbers of Tucker Carlson's short-lived show on X/Twitter have become a contentious subject. Understanding the nature of viewership metrics on digital platforms is integral to this discussion. Unlike traditional television, where Nielsen ratings have long been the standard measure of a show's success, digital platforms offer a myriad of engagement metrics, including views, likes, retweets, and comments. Each of these metrics can paint a vastly different picture of a show's popularity and reach. The controversy stems from the reliability—or lack thereof—of these digital viewership figures presented by or on behalf of Tucker Carlson's online show. Critics argue that these numbers, often flaunted for their impressiveness, lack transparency and verifiability. Digital platforms, with their proprietary algorithms and data, do not offer an external, independent mechanism to validate viewership claims thoroughly. This discrepancy raises important questions about how success is quantified in the digital era. For a television personality such as Tucker Carlson, who has had significant viewership on cable TV, the transition to a digital platform presents new challenges in maintaining and proving an audience's size and engagement level.Moreover, the nature of content consumption on platforms like X/Twitter differs markedly from traditional TV. Users might not engage with a full-length show in one sitting, preferring instead to interact with snippets or highlights, which complicates the notion of a "view." This fragmentation adds another layer of complexity to understanding the true reach and impact of digital shows.In addition, the highly partisan landscape of digital information consumption further muddies the waters. The echo-chamber effect, prevalent on social media platforms, can amplify content within ideological confines, potentially inflating perceived viewership amongst a loyal base while not necessarily breaking through to a wider audience.Given these challenges, the debate over the viewership of Tucker Carlson's short-lived X/Twitter show underscores the broader issues surrounding digital content consumption, measurement, and credibility. It casts a spotlight on the need for clearer metrics, better transparency, and more reliable ways to assess the impact of digital programming in a landscape that continues to shift beneath the feet of traditional media figures trying to find solid ground online.

Puntare solo sull’elettrico nell’attuale processo di transizione energetica può avere ripercussioni negative sulla nostra economia: è quanto emerso nel recente congresso internazionale Energy, Environment and Digital Transition, organizzato da AIDIC, l’Associazione Italiana di Ingegneria Chimica, che si è svolto nei giorni scorsi a Palermo.Sarebbe opportuno invece arrivare alla decarbonizzazione utilizzando tutte le soluzioni alternative e tutte le tecnologie attualmente disponibili - commenta Giuseppe Ricci (nella foto), presidente di AIDIC. Anche il percorso verso le zero emissioni messo in atto da Hyundai punta per ora solo in parte sull'elettrico, che occupa circa il 30 % della produzione, ma senza dimenticare il design. La casa sudcoreana, che si prepara a lanciare sul mercato le versioni full hybrid di Tucson, Kona e Santa Fè, ha dato vita infatti alla nuova divisione Global Design, dedicata sia alla progettazione di veicoli full electric sia alle forme future di mobilità, come la robotica e la mobilità aerea avanzata - commenta Andrea Crespi, Presidente di Hyundai Italia.

Bob Hughes, Executive Director of Local Ireland, discusses the future of local newspapers.
The smart meter unlocked a trove of data on how people use energy in their homes. And it created the opportunity for utilities to offer more services based on customers' individual needs and consumption habits. These demand-side services are crucial for decarbonizing the grid, enhancing reliability, and integrating more renewables.But many utilities are still in the early stages of digitizing their operations. As director of industry marketing for energy and utilities at Salesforce, Sharon Talbott is helping power providers get more digitally sophisticated. “Utilities still keep a lot of their data in different silos, and then a lot of their processes are done on spreadsheets and with people handing packets of paper to each other with wet signatures and things like that. So a lot of utilities want to change that,” explains Sharon.This week, Brad talks with Sharon about how she works with electricity companies to provide more digital services and products to their customers in order to modernize their operations.This podcast is produced by GridX. GridX is the Enterprise Rate Platform that modern utilities rely on to usher in our clean energy future.

Our guest podcast guest says, People who discuss digital transformation often focus on new technology with a presumption that the working population will embrace it enthusiastically. But human beings are still instinctively dominated by fear, a single complicating reflex which will always be the default response. In simple words, humans are hardwired to resist change. Our brain resists change as a threat which releases reactions such as fear, fight, or flight. These are difficult responses to deal with when emerging technologies are constantly tossing us into change, and fear is one of the most prevalent responses. Fear can have enormous repercussions on an organization, including increased vulnerability to ransomware and cyberattack, increased employee turnover, loss of competitiveness, loss of market share, resistance, sabotage, discrimination, and litigation. So how do we deal with this? How do companies deal with fear in the organization as new technologies are introduced, and organization transformation takes place? This podcast explores what kind of fear is prevalent in the workforce, how people react to it and what we can do about it.

The digital transition has been going on now for over a decade and although we see it and live it every day we will not have made the transition to a fully digital life until the work flows and processes around new technology are modernized and adapted. This means that companies need to look at digital transition with a 360-degree view. They have to understand what digitalization means to sales, marketing, customer relationship management, recruiting and just about every process in their company. And leaders must understand their people. Even the clearest digital strategy will fail if your people are unprepared to embrace it. As critical as defining where you want to be is, setting up the capabilities and processes that will enable it are even more critical. This episode looks at digital transition as a whole, with a focus on what it means for sales, marketing and the people that are leading us into the next generation of business.
