Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. Special Episode. The portrayal of law enforcement and criminal organizations in Hollywood has long shaped public perception. However, the media's representation of police work and the realities of drug gangs often diverge from the truth. Dr. Stephen Morreale, a retired DEA agent, college professor, and host of The Cop Doc Podcast, is dedicated to dispelling these myths. He sheds light on the overwhelming violence committed by organized drug gangs and the misconceptions surrounding law enforcement. The story on this episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. The Reality of Drug Gangs in America Hollywood often glamorizes or oversimplifies the operations of drug gangs, but the truth is far more complex and violent. The United States is home to numerous gangs deeply involved in drug trafficking and organized crime. Groups like MS-13, Nuestra Familia, Surenos, Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, and 1% Motorcycle Clubs have an extensive presence across the country. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as of 2014, there were approximately 33,000 gangs in the U.S., classified into street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs. While some of these organizations are multi-ethnic, many operate along racial lines, restricting membership based on ethnicity. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. At least 23 gangs operate at a national level, spanning multiple states and drug markets. Moreover, law enforcement has identified connections between transnational drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) and several street and prison gangs. Mexican DTOs, such as the Federation, the Gulf Cartel, the Juárez Cartel, and the Tijuana Cartel, leverage U.S. based Hispanic street gangs and prison gangs for drug smuggling, distribution, and enforcement. These DTOs avoid direct involvement in retail drug distribution, instead utilizing gang members to minimize their exposure to law enforcement. Read supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. The Role of the DEA and Law Enforcement, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is at the forefront of combating these criminal enterprises. Its mission is to enforce U.S. controlled substances laws, dismantle drug trafficking organizations, and reduce the availability of illicit drugs in domestic and international markets. Dr. Morreale, who served in law enforcement for 30 years, played a crucial role in these efforts, retiring as Assistant Special Agent in Charge for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Investigations. During his 20-year tenure with the DEA, he worked on financial investigations, asset forfeiture, and enforcement operations targeting major drug networks. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms In addition to his work with the DEA, Dr. Morreale was instrumental in advancing community policing efforts. In 1990, he co-founded the New England Community Police Partnership, a program that trained thousands of police officers and community members to foster better relationships between law enforcement and the public. He educated future law enforcement professionals as Chair and Full Professor of Criminal Justice at Worcester State University. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Dispelling Hollywood Myths Through The Cop Doc Podcast Through his podcast, The Cop Doc Podcast, Dr. Morreale provides a platform for in-depth discussions on law enforcement, policing reforms, and the challenges officers face in the field. His expertise is especially relevant in an era where social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X play a significant role in shaping public opinion. Many misconceptions about law enforcement stem from sensationalized portrayals in movies and TV shows, leading to unrealistic expectations and misunderstandings about police procedures and challenges. Hollywood often focuses on dramatic shootouts, rogue cops, and quick case resolutions, but the truth is that real policing involves extensive investigations, intelligence gathering, and strategic planning. While media outlets and streaming services like Apple Podcasts and Spotify provide platforms for entertainment and also facts, it is crucial for the public to seek out factual information. This conversation is a valuable resource in this regard, offering insights from experienced law enforcement professionals and academics. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The Impact of Social Media and News Outlets, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. The role of social media in spreading misinformation cannot be overlooked. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X have become primary sources of news for many people, but they often contribute to the dissemination of biased or incomplete narratives about policing and criminal organizations. Dr. Morreale emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking when consuming media. His work highlights the need for a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the challenges and successes of law enforcement efforts. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Conclusion, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. Dr. Stephen Morreale's career in law enforcement and academia has given him a unique perspective on the realities of drug gangs and policing. Through his Podcast, he continues to challenge Hollywood myths, educate the public, and provide a factual account of law enforcement. In an age where media influence is stronger than ever, it is essential to seek the truth beyond dramatized portrayals and social media narratives. By engaging with experts and factual sources, the public can gain a more accurate understanding of the complexities of crime and policing in America.

This session explores the foundational concepts and practical applications of Zero Trust Architectures (ZTA) and Digital Trust Frameworks (DTF), two paradigms gaining traction in cybersecurity. While Zero Trust challenges the traditional notion of trust by enforcing strict access controls and authentication measures, Digital Trust seeks to build confidence through data integrity, privacy, and ethical considerations. Through this talk, we will investigate whether these approaches intersect, complement, or diverge, and what this means for the future of cybersecurity. Attendees will gain insights into implementing these frameworks to enhance both security and user confidence in digital environments. In addition to a practical overview, this talk will highlight emerging research areas in both domains.  About the speaker: Dr. Ali Al-Haj received his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Yarmouk University, Jordan, in 1985, followed by an M.Sc. degree in Electronics Engineering from Tottori University, Japan, in 1988 and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from Osaka University, Japan, in 1993.

“Procurement is going to make a transformative leap. It may be in a year. It may be in three years. But it's going to happen. So start experimenting.” – Remko Van Hoek, Full Professor of Practice SCM, Executive Director CSCMP Supply Chain Hall of Fame, hosted by Walton, University of Arkansas ­- Sam M. Walton College of Business It's time to make procurement fun again.  That's what Remko Van Hoek, Full Professor of Practice SCM, Executive Director CSCMP Supply Chain Hall of Fame, hosted by Walton, University of Arkansas ­- Sam M. Walton College of Business, told Philip Ideson when they sat down together at DPW Amsterdam 2024. In this episode, Remko shares insights from the 10X Procurement survey he led in conjunction with DPW, and what it reveals about how AI and digital transformation are injecting opportunity, value, and, yes, even fun back into procurement.  The survey also uncovered a troubling ‘inspiration to action' gap between procurement's AI readiness and their ability to successfully execute at the pace required by the rest of the business. Along with discussing digital transformation pressures, Philip and Remko also explore: What 10X growth actually looks like in practice and how procurement can take the idea of exponential growth and turn that into tangible, bottom-line results for the business What it means to be “digitally literate” and why focusing only on technology is actually not the right approach to digital transformation The fundamentals procurement needs to have in place to 10X their growth and impact in 2025  Links: Remko Van Hoek on LinkedIn Listen to “Integrating Blockchain into Procurement” with Remko Van Hoek Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube

The launch of Girls in SciTech in Luxembourg last week is a movement aimed at empowering girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths. The Girls in SciTech campagin, coordinated by Professor Serge Haan, brought together high school students, university alumni, industry professionals, and political leaders, all united to tackle the gender imbalance in STEM fields. How can we encourage more young female minds to take up the ‘hard' sciences rather than just the ‘soft' sciences (life sciences, medicine, biological sciences etc.)? Indeed one can even question the words attributed to the sciences here.  The State of Women in STEM: A Statistical Snapshot Despite incremental progress, women remain underrepresented in STEM, particularly in senior roles. According to Eurostat, 41% of all scientists and engineers in the European Union were women in 2022. The figures are consistently lower for maths, physics, computer science and engineering, varying from country to country.  Philippe Hiligsmann, Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs at the University of Luxembourg, underscored the importance of the campaign: “This is more than an event; it is a movement to change things by motivating and inspiring girls to pursue a career in science.”  A Powerful Group of Role Models The event featured a panel of inspiring women from diverse STEM backgrounds, who shared their own personal journeys and ideas: - Hania Tayara, Programme Leader at Native Scientists - Marie-Alix Dalle, Environmental Engineer at ArcelorMittal - Prof. Serge Haan, Full Professor in Biological Chemistry, University of Luxembourg - Laurence Lampecco, Analyst Developer at POST Luxembourg - Prof. Skerdilajda Zanaj, Full Professor in Economics, University of Luxembourg - Marie-Louise Uwizeye, Chargée d'études at Administration de la gestion de l'eau - Monika Zlopasa, Investment Fund Risk Manager at UBS Luxembourg Stéphanie Obertin, Minister for Research and Higher Education in Luxembourg, captured the essence of the event's message when she said, “It's about transforming our society by empowering women in STEM fields. The unique perspectives and ideas they bring to the field enhance problem-solving and spark innovation.” The Challenges: What's Holding Girls Back? The panelists identified several key barriers that contribute to the gender gap: Stereotypes and Gender Roles:  From an early age, girls are exposed to stereotypes that suggest STEM is not for them. Many girls are told, either overtly or subtly, that they are not as good at math or science as boys. These messages, often reinforced by parents, peers, and teachers, can impact their self-confidence and limit their aspirations. As Prof. Skerdilajda Zanaj pointed out, “It's not that girls don't like science, it's that they are taught to believe it's not for them.” Lack of Role Models:  The absence of female role models in STEM fields further discourages girls from pursuing these paths. Research shows that girls are more likely to enter STEM fields if they see women succeeding in them. “For every 10 Google queries asking, ‘Is my daughter gifted?' there are 25 asking, ‘Is my son gifted?'” said Marie-Alix Dalle, an alumna of the University of Luxembourg and an Environmental Engineer at ArcelorMittal. The lack of female role models in leadership positions can make it harder for girls to imagine themselves succeeding in science. Parental Biases:  Parents often unconsciously reinforce gendered expectations. Research has shown that girls are less likely to be encouraged to pursue STEM subjects, particularly in math and technology. This parental influence can have long-term effects on girls' academic choices and self-perception. Workplace and Family Balance:  Women in STEM often face the additional challenge of balancing their careers with family life. Marie-Louise Uwizeye, an engineer and mother of three, shared her experience of working in engineering while raising children: “If you really want to do it, you can. I am a mother of three children, I have a PhD, and I am working full-time. Don't excuse yourself—this is your right.” Despite the challenges, she emphasized that women can thrive in STEM, even as mothers. Breaking the Barriers: Solutions and Strategies To address these barriers, the panelists discussed various strategies that can help increase the number of girls in STEM, especially in leadership positions: Increased Representation of Women in Senior Roles:  One of the critical points raised during the discussion was the importance of seeing women in senior positions within STEM fields. Not only do these role models inspire the next generation, but they also demonstrate that leadership in STEM is achievable for women. “We need to increase the representation of women in science at senior levels to show young girls that it's possible to rise to the top,” said Hania Tayara. Studies show that having female mentors or professors increases the likelihood that girls will continue to pursue STEM studies and careers. Changing Course Content:  Many panelists emphasized the importance of making STEM content more relevant to girls. As Marie-Alix Dalle put it, “Enough talk about cars!” In order to engage more girls, science education must reflect a broader range of interests and real-world applications. “Science should resonate with girls as well,” she added, advocating for curricula that connect STEM to real-world issues like climate change, healthcare, and technology. Mentorship and Support Networks:  Several initiatives are already in place in Luxembourg to support girls in STEM. For example, mentorship programs, such as those offered by Native Scientists and the University of Luxembourg, help guide girls through the uncertainties they may face when applying to university or entering STEM fields. Laurence Lampecco, an analyst developer at POST Luxembourg, shared her personal experience of mentorship and the crucial role it played in her journey: “Having someone who believes in you makes all the difference.” Challenging Societal Norms:  Finally, the discussion underscored the importance of challenging the societal norms that dictate what careers are “appropriate” for men and women. By showcasing the success stories of women in STEM, through media and other platforms, we can shift perceptions and inspire young girls to see these fields as viable career paths. As Monika Zlopasa, a Risk Manager at UBS Luxembourg, pointed out, “We miss out on complementary skills and points of view when we don't have women in STEM. It's not just about representation—it's about making work better, more innovative, and more inclusive.” Moving Forward: A Collective Effort The Girls in SciTech event marked an important milestone in the effort to close the gender gap in STEM. But as the panelists emphasized, real change requires a collective effort from all sectors of society. From parents and teachers to industry leaders and policymakers, everyone has a role to play in creating a more inclusive environment for girls in STEM. Yuriko Backes, Luxembourg's Minister for Gender Equality and Diversity, stated, “When young girls see women excelling in STEM fields, it serves as an inspiration. It shows them that they too can achieve success in these areas.” By continuing to promote mentorship, support networks, and initiatives like Girls in SciTech, we can ensure that the next generation of STEM leaders includes a balanced representation of both women and men. In the end, the journey towards gender equality in STEM is just beginning. With sustained commitment, collaboration, and advocacy, we can create a world where girls in science are not the exception—but the norm.

"Writing on the Wall" is a global platform founded by Professor William Kolbrener and novelist Ronit Eitan in response to the traumatic events of October 7th and the alarming rise in global antisemitism. The co-founders, despite their differing perspectives on many issues, share a steadfast belief: the fight against antisemitism can begin by uniting diverse voices through poetry and art. In a world where some wield literature, art, and scholarship as tools of intimidation and exclusion, efforts to silence Israelis and their supporters grow—alongside the grim reality of Hamas holding Israelis and Americans hostage. Yet, there are those who embrace the transformative power of writing to challenge antisemitism and foster collective healing. As Executive Director of Writing on the Wall, a nonprofit initiative based at Bar-Ilan University, Professor Kolbrener spearheads creative and community-driven responses to combat hate and division. How should we confront the intellectual boycotts and the subtler but equally harmful efforts to marginalize Israeli academics? In today's episode, William Kolbrener shares his approach, offering a powerful example of resistance through creativity and inclusion. William Kolbrener is a Full Professor of English Literature at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, with a Ph.D. from Columbia University. His research explores the intersections of literature, theology, and politics, focusing on figures such as John Milton, Mary Astell, and Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik. He is the author of several influential books that integrate literary studies, Jewish thought, and philosophy: Milton's Warring Angels: A Study of Critical Engagements (Cambridge University Press, 1996): A key contribution to Renaissance studies, focusing on critical interpretations of John Milton. Open Minded Torah: Of Irony, Fundamentalism, and Love (Continuum, 2011): A collection of essays blending Jewish tradition with contemporary thought. The Last Rabbi: Joseph Soloveitchik and Talmudic Tradition (Indiana University Press, 2016): An exploration of Soloveitchik's philosophical legacy in the modern age. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Kyle interviews Geoff Bathje, Ph.D.: licensed psychologist, researcher, former Full Professor, and co-founder of Sana Healing Collective, a Chicago-based non-profit focusing on ketamine-assisted therapy and psychedelic integration. He talks about what he feels is one of the largest factors in our mental health crisis: the individualistic and neoliberal lens Western culture has placed on mental health and how it neglects the massive systemic and relational factors that are affecting us all. He digs into how we got so alienated and how psychedelics and non-ordinary states of consciousness can not only help us think critically and solve problems, but also move us out of this individualistic framework of healing and more into a collective one. How do we use psychedelics to fix our relationships and find our community? He discusses: The challenge of knowing when to work for relationships and when to just end them, especially in the afterglow of a big experience Group ketamine experience vs. individual, how groups can help facilitators find patterns, and how ketamine works with somatic therapy His paper, “Psychedelic integration: An analysis of the concept and its practice” and his visual model of integration showing the different domains of our personal experience What he thinks will happen next in drug development: Will therapy be left out after Lykos' failure with MDMA? The importance of moving beyond aggressive criticism and moving into world building and more!  For links, head to the show notes page.

Listen to this interview of Tim Menzies, Editor in Chief, Automated Software Engineering, and also, Full Professor, Computer Science, North Carolina State University. We talk about how disagreement in research brings advancement. Tim Menzies : "In writing your research, you can't belligerently say, 'I want to say something.' The thing that goes wrong with newbies writing papers is that they write, 'I did. I did. I did.' Because, the people who publish very well, they write, 'They did. They did. They did.' So, you have to say something someone else can hear, otherwise there's no point in saying it. And to say something someone else can hear, you have to say it in the patterns they appreciate. You have to study the discourse and the norms of the forums you're targeting, and you have to match to them."
