Thanks to Los Angeles-based agency RPA, “We Are Farmers, buh bi dum dum dum dum dum” has become a bit of a jingle earworm. Great awareness and brand recognition for the insurance company. Joe Baratelli, EVP and Chief Creative Officer of the agency that’s been his home for almost 35 years, walked me through that and other creative concepts and their business results. It starts, he suggests, with the mantra of the organization: People, Relationships and Results. (Note: You can also read a summary of this conversation in the new publication, The Continuum.) Now, in an era of ubiquitous focus on health, though, the AOR of Farmers and Honda wants to expand its portfolio to include more healthcare clientele. Joe also explained how RPA has started to accomplish that -- and did well by doing good for UNICEF and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. It's heartwarming work and their pillars of focusing on people and relationships definitely shine through. Sample of UNICEF #VaccinesWork art If you're in advertising or #marketing, this is one to save as a download. Joe and I talk about: How respecting your co-workers AND the audience for the campaigns yields results How they applied that to the UNICEF #VaccinesWork campaign and leveraged our inclination to protect our kids from danger to drive inoculations that protect them from dangers we can't see. Brilliant! The elements that went into a worldwide campaign and its efficacy in changing minds How marketing #vaccines is similar to...or different from... marketing other clients like Apartments.com, Honda, or Farmers, for example. How DID they evolve their Farmers campaign as times have changed over 10 years on the account? What behavioral scientists can tell you about human nature...to inform creative campaigns How pro bono work, such as for PBTF and the stunning collection of compelling animations they did to ease kids into understanding their diagnosis led to a healthy set of new clients... Oh, and yes, I managed to sing the Farmers jingle.

Katrina helps advise college athletes promote their talent and marketability through the Professional Collegiate League.Katrina talks about how she got the charisma she has now, and how she was voted funniest in her 5th grade class, as it mentions in her LinkedIn profile. We discuss how HR gets a bad reputation because there are so many HR people that don’t find passion or purpose in human resources. We discuss why the 80/20 rule is so important, and how someone from HR can implement that into their gameplan.Katrina knows HR has a bad reputation, and she has changed the name of her company to reflect that, because in her words, “It’s gameday, every day!”.  Links:  Follow True Underdog on IG: www.instagram.com/true_underdogReach out to Jayson directly at jayson@trueunderdog.comFollow Jayson on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayson-waller-/Follow Jayson on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jaysonwallerbamCheck out our website to meet the team, view show notes and transcripts: www.trueunderdog.com Mentioned in the Episode: Katrina’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrina-ghazarianKatrina’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katghazarian/?hl=enHR Sucks Podcast: https://hrsuckspodcast.com/ Timestamps: 5:30 - Where Does Katrina’s Charisma Come From?10:54 - If You Can’t Handle the Truth15:01 - Why the Bad Perception of HR?20:39 - Changing the Culture of HR23:33 - Dealing with the 80/20 Rule26:00 - How Did the Podcast Start?31:26 - How Much is Social Media Affecting Our Jobs?36:29 - Getting More Comfortable with Change in Democracy39:27 - Reworking the Government Budget42:58 - Finding Katrina’s Podcast

Since starting the Mission Forward conversation series in 2014, we’ve had the opportunity to interview some amazing folks: Pulitzer Prize-winning writers, MacArthur Genius grantees, media entrepreneurs, and philanthropists. One of our favorite conversations to date has been with Ed Yong and Liz Neeley. It took place in 2018, shortly after Ed wrote a story in the Atlantic titled: “I Spent Two Years Trying to Fix the Gender Imbalance in My Stories Here’s What I’ve Learned, and Why I Did It.”As an acclaimed author and science writer, Ed was a big deal then, but he’s had quite a run these last few years. This past September, his story on the COVID-19 pandemic, “How Did it Come to This?” took the cover spot of The Atlantic magazine, and since that time, he’s published several other articles on COVID 19 including his most recent: “America Is About to Choose How Bad the Pandemic Will Get.” Given how much we value Ed Yong — and how straightforward he can make even the most complex science story — we decided to resurface this great conversation from a few years back, about building equity and breaking bias in storytelling.In that 2018 story about gender imbalance in his reporting, Ed found that only 24 percent of his last 23 articles quoted sources that were women. And of those stories, 35 percent featured no female voices at all. As Ed shared in his article:“I knew that I care about equality, so I deluded myself into thinking that I wasn’t part of the problem. I assumed that my passive concern would be enough. Passive concern never is.”Yong’s heartbreakingly honest revelation, and several others like it, spurred our desire to dig in on ways that writers, marketers, and communications directors can build equity and break bias in their storytelling, and his story has stuck with us for many years. But it wasn’t just Ed who we spoke with in 2018. We were joined by his partner, the brilliant Liz Neeley, founder and principal of Liminal Creations, where she focuses her time and talent on science communication. Liz served as Executive Director of The Story Collider through August of this year, shepherding real and deeply personal stories of science and living through on-stage events and their eponymous (and extraordinarily popular) podcast. Together, they had a lot to say on the topic of equity in storytelling.Liz Neeley and Ed Yong are extraordinary people and exceptional journalists and communicators. We love this conversation and we’re sure that you will, too. Links & NotesBuilding Equity and Breaking Bias in Storytelling — by Carrie FoxWhat Bias is Hiding in Your Writing? — by Carrie Fox

Episode 92 of The Teaching Space Podcast is about my approach to running an online class. Introduction I am recording this episode in April 2020 while Guernsey is locked down in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Because I bulk record my episodes, you will be listening to this in the future. I hope that life has got back to some semblance of normal now, but I suspect things won't ever be the same again. This episode, and the next few that follow, are inspired by my personal experience of teaching classes remotely from my office at home. Context It's essential I am clear on my context, because with it, comes some privilege - particularly concerning the resources I can access. What I don't want to happen is for you to listen to this and think "this is how I need to work now" because it might not be right for you. Anything I share on the podcast must be considered in your context (students, workload, subject, resources etc) before you decided to try things out. One of the main points of this show is to help you achieve work/life balance, so, for example, if I explain my approach and it is too labour intensive for your context or plain wrong - that is ok. I share ideas in the spirit that it "might help or inspire someone". My context in a nutshell: I teach adults (initial teacher trainees, trainee assessors and trainee quality assurers). While my courses have some practical elements, there is also a lot of theory, which lends itself well to SOME online delivery. I have a dual role, so teach fewer hours than most full-time teachers (half of my role is professional development and promoting scholarly activity). I have a genuine interest in technology for learning and lots of experience in this area - I also have access to decent tech tools and bandwidth (at home!) What follows is based on the first online session I delivered from home during the crisis - subsequent sessions followed a similar format. Rationale I was keen to limit teaching (as in, delivering content) live online because I find it utterly exhausting and I was not sure it was right for my students. Also, as adults, I can assume a degree of independence in their approach to studying; also, they all pay to come on my courses, so their motivation is usually high. My Approach I opted for a flipped approach. My in-person sessions are usually three hours long, so I asked students to keep the time slot free and check-in before the scheduled start time to pick up instructions via Google Classroom. I shared an instructions post on the stream and copied those instructions to the classwork area too, where the session's resources are shared. Below is a screenshot of the Classwork area of my Google Classroom showing the first session I delivered in this format. You will see there are video and text chat documents in there too - these are from our Google Meet session and were added afterwards. I will explain this shortly. This session is usually 18.00 - 21.00, so this is what I planned: 18.00 - 19.00: students watch video of delivery in their own time and make notes. 19.00 - 20.00: gather online in a Google Meet for a planned discussion activity. 20.00 (or after): complete quiz homework. Let’s break this down. Video of Delivery I had a presentation and session plan already prepared for this session. I pared it down and stripped out the activities to the bare minimum of input, knowing that a fair bit could be covered in a discussion afterwards. I then screen recorded my presentation delivery (not my face, just my screen). I use a tool called Screenflow for Mac as it is a tool I already own and I like the editing interface. There is no need to spend too much time on the recording aspect. I did edit but only because I could. However, you could do just as good a job using a free tool such as Loom, and there is no need to edit anything. I posted the video to my YouTube channel as unlisted, meaning that only people with the link can view the video. With Loom, there is no need for this step as a link to your video is generated automatically. Videos ended up being around 30 minutes long, leave the students a further 30 minutes to make notes and revisit sections as needed. Discussion Activity This was the live element of the session. My students joined a Google Meet (I did a practice run beforehand to establish protocols for this new set up - I will tell you about that in next week's episode when we will focus on video conferencing). I had one absence for this first session (again, adults). I'd written a list of questions and discussion topics based on the criteria for the session. I steered the group through those questions. The session and chat were recorded and shared in the Google Classroom afterwards. Google has extended its Meet services to include recording and other advanced features to support teachers during the COVID-19 crisis. I'll expand on this in the next episode. Homework I set a Quizizz for homework that students could do straight after the session if they wanted, directly tied to the criteria of the session, as a formative assessment. How Did it Go? That first one went well, and subsequent sessions have been similar. My initial teacher trainees have found the experience useful as they have been able to reflect on the differences between teaching and learning online compared to in-person. I enjoyed the challenge, but it is not something I would want to do every week. The preparation is incredibly time-consuming, and I missed the activities we do in sessions. You cannot replicate them online. Furthermore, when you teach teaching, there's a lot of modelling practice that happens, and you cannot replicate that online either. The experience has been fascinating. I have always thought that online or flipped learning has a place, but for me and my subject area, it would only be a percentage of the curriculum. Wrap Up And that’s it. I’d really love to hear about your experience of teaching online. Please drop into The Teaching Space Community to chat: community.theteachingspace.com.

How can we confirm the cure if it's not being tested? I am not a health practitioner BUT I am a true seeker and the fact of the matter is more natural cure's rarely seen the day of light even in time of global pandemics.Even those that have been tested on patients that are documented to enhance the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the cost!Nichole, HOW Did you just google it?? It couldn't possibly be that simple?! OR COULD IT!There could be a number of reasons this medical extract isn't in the news and not being tested, possibly ignorance in the community, information possibly archived in medical search engines, due to who controls the natural element Shungite, as well as other higher agendas in progress.I Simply typed the right keywords in the search and Viola (which funny enough is no longer showing up on the first page of google) but luckily for you, I saved the link. https://patents.google.com/patent/RU2308296C9/

Benjamin Franta is a PhD student of History & Law at Stanford University and one of my absolute favourite people to follow on Twitter. Ben writes amazing threads covering the history of propaganda that the fossil fuel industry has created when it comes to climate change. He analyses their PR tactics, they language they use or what wording they create to deflect the attention from their products and place the responsibility on the consumers.We discussed what internal documents revealed about when the fossil fuel companies knew about climate change (starting in 1959) and how that evolved over time; Ben went in depth on the tactics they deploy including "product defense" and the "complexity rhetoric". We also drew parallels between the fossil fuel industry and the tobacco industry - how the latter deployed similar tactics and was eventually defeated through numerous lawsuits. Finally, we also discussed the media and what role it sometimes plays in slowing down action.RELEVANT LINKSBenjamin Franta’s Twitter Profile: https://twitter.com/BenFrantaTIMECODES02:26: Benjamin Franta’s Background.

Niki referred to this piece at The Daily Beast. Neil noted the emergence of viral videos showing a side-by-side comparison of Trump’s announcement of al-Baghdadi’s death and Obama’s announcement about the killing of Osama bin Laden. S. Representative Katie Hill (D-CA) has resigned her position after an alleged sex scandal. Natalia cited this article at GenderIT.org about the problematic term “revenge porn.” President Trump was met with boos at a World Series game last week. Neil referred to this history of booing at Natalia recalled the longer history of presidential booing, written up at The Washington Post.   In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia recommended Susan Donaldson James’ ABC News article, “’Practice Babies’: 1 Orphan Raised by 8 Mothers.” Neil shared Rachel Wharton and Koren Shadmi’s New York Times illustrated history, “How Did the Diner Menu Get So Long?” Niki discussed Grayson Quay’s American Conservative article, “Franco’s Victory Was Necessary, But Ultimately Meaningless.”

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. Today’s guest is David Armstrong, senior healthcare reporter at ProPublica. David has covered the pharma industry for more than a decade, and is an expert on the current opioid crisis in the U.S. We discussed a ton, and below is my post-game analysis on everything we covered. Enjoy!How Did the Opioid Crisis Even Start?The U.S. opioid crisis is one of its worst-ever drug epidemics. Almost 1,000 people die each week from opioid-related overdoses, and some experts say the death toll could be another 500,000 in the next decade. The problem started when doctors overprescribed legal painkillers for years and years, such as oxycodone, and was made worse by the influx of cheap substitutes supplied by foreign drug cartels, such as fentanyl. In 2017, it was estimated that 1.7 million Americans suffered from an opioid overdose. Claire Felter, Council on Foreign RelationsPain, Meet OxyContinThe most well-known painkiller on the market, and thus the drug attracting the most attention is OxyContin, produced and sold by Purdue Pharma. Purdue’s original best-seller was a drug called MS Contin, which is a slow-release morphine pill that dissolves over several hours into the bloodstream allowing many patients to sleep through the night. Just before the patent for MS Contin expired, Purdue developed a new, more potent painkiller derived from pure oxycodone and about 50 per cent stronger than morphine. This began the opioid crisis.Xan Rice, New StatesmanThanks to Dan Keating and Samuel Granados from the Washington Post for visualizing just how strong the drugs are that people are taking legally and illegally.Is the Crisis Nearing an End?Latest data from the CDC shows that the number of drug overdose deaths fell five percent, the first decline since 1990. Some experts point to the fall being directly linked to the reduction in opioid overprescription, but we’re not of the woods yet. Other experts say that the overdose deaths from illegal painkillers sold by drug dealers are still on the rise.Chelsea Whyte, New ScientistDo You Like Me?Before you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read. Cheers.Who Are the Sackler family?Brothers Mortimer and Raymond Sackler bought Purdue Pharma in 1952, which has been controlled by the wider Sackler family since their deaths in 2010 and 2017, respectively. The Sackler family were once known around the world for their generous philanthropic donations to some of the world’s leading institutions, from Yale University to the Guggenheim Museum in the US and the Serpentine Gallery to the Royal Academy in Britain. That’s all changed in the past few years.Joanna Walters, the GuardianThe Danger (but Effectiveness) of Purdue’s MarketingPurdue Pharma first released OxyContin in 1996 and has made billions of dollars from the drug. It did so by concealing the truth about the risk of addiction in its marketing. Purdue knew it would receive criticism, and in 2001, Richard Sackler, the company’s former president and co-chairman and son of the late Raymond Sackler, wrote this in an email with the aim of pinning the blame on the users of his company’s drug: “We have to hammer on the abusers in every way possible. They are the culprits and the problem. They are reckless criminals.”Andrew Joseph, STAT NewsWhy Did Purdue Just Declare Bankruptcy?Earlier this month, Purdue Pharma filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as part of a deal to settle more than 2,000 lawsuits against the company (my guest David Armstrong said this number is now nearer 3,000). Don’t be fooled though. Purdue and the Sackler family have certainly not run out of money. Such a process is meant to ensure that Purdue can preserve its value while it gets more time to negotiate with every entity it’s being sued by. Andrew Joseph, STAT NewsWho Are the Other Opioid Companies Involved?It’s not just Purdue under fire. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against other drug companies including Teva and Johnson & Johnson, who were recently ordered to pay a whopping $572million for its part in fuelling the crisis in Oklahoma alone. But it’s not just drug producers that are in hot water. Pharmacies such as CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens, who distribute the opioids to patients are being sued as well.German Lopez, VoxPartisan split?While the opioid crisis should unite Democrats and Republicans against Purdue and the other companies involved, diverging strategies may have started to emerge. Most of the 24 suing states that rejected Purdue’s settlement bill are Democratic, who “are aiming to send a broader message about corporate accountability, not just to Purdue, but to the large collection of even more powerful companies still tied up in opioid litigation,” according to Politico. Meanwhile the GOP are “going for a more pragmatic approach that may also reflect the party’s traditionally closer relationship with industry.”Sara Karlin-Smith, Dan Goldberg and Brianna Ehley, PoliticoAndddddd Trump?As per usual, Trump has claimed credit for the decline in opioid overdose deaths. Like with most things in life, it’s not that simple, and work from previous administrations to tackle the opioid crisis may be part-responsible. More nuanced, the decline in fatalities doesn’t necessarily mean that fewer people are overdosing; it may mean that the campaign to make antidotes widely available is saving their lives, though not necessarily getting people treatment to end their addiction.Brianna Ehley, PoliticoRelated Podcasts#46 — Christine Brennan (USA Today, CNN, PBS)#44 — Sebastian Junger (Tribe, The Perfect Storm)Last Time#48 — Scott Brodbeck (Local News Now)Thanks so much for making it all the way to the bottom.

Episode 64 of The Teaching Space Podcast shares a new approach to lesson observations. Welcome Welcome to season two of The Teaching Space Podcast. I have decided to start classing each academic year’s worth of episodes as a season to make it easier to keep track of where we are with the show. I started recording the podcast back in December 2017, so I am classing the episodes between then and June 2018 (episode 27) as season 0. Episodes 28 to 63 (the last academic year) were season one. So that means today’s episode marks the start of season two. I wanted to kick the new season off with a meaty episode, that’s why I’ve chosen lesson observations. If you’re listening and thinking “this doesn’t apply to me as I am not in a school environment”, keep listening. Remember, I am not in a school environment either. You’ll find I am going to talk more about professional development than anything else. Background I work in the further education and skills sector. Like most Colleges, in recent history, our approach to lesson observations has been something like this: One lesson observation a year Observer is a member of the lesson observation team Lesson observations are graded against criteria They are judgemental, as opposed to developmental Managers (middle and senior) carry out additional learning walks The rationale behind this approach, like most observation schemes, was performance management, loosely framed as professional development. You could argue there is a degree of developmental focus in there, as if someone was not performing in a certain area, they could access various CPD opportunities. But, when it comes down to it, performance was being measured against criteria. This is how most observation schemes are structured, to the best of my knowledge. In most cases, observations would be carried out by managers rather than peers (as in our case). On the face of it, we appear to be a little ahead of the game, using peers instead of managers. However, should a peer have a responsibility for contributing to the performance management of another peer? Probably not. Research Added to this, current research demonstrates that traditional, graded observations do not work. If you are interested in reading more about this I highly recommend anything by Matt O’ Leary, in particular his book, Classroom Observation (which I think is being updated at the moment). I have just downloaded his more recent book, Reclaiming Observations, which I am looking forward to getting stuck into. Some of the reasons these observations are not effective are: They are a snapshot of teaching practice They cause teachers unnecessary stress There is a formula for achieving an outstanding lesson observation As such, lesson observations are not a good measure of performance and rarely contribute to a teacher’s professional development. ONE THING We decided to redesign the entire professional development cycle for teachers at my organisation. We wanted to: Redefine the role of lesson observation as a tool for professional development only - performance management would be handled outside of this process Avoid causing teachers undue stress and needlessly adding to their workload Place ownership of professional development with the teacher Create a culture of professional trust Encourage collaboration with peers, reflective practice and scholarly activity Place teaching and learning at the heart of professional development. So the “ONE THING” was born. Broadly speaking, it looks like this: Start of the academic year: teachers self-assess their practice against the ETF Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers in the UK. In discussion with peers, they choose their ONE THING - an aspect of their professional practice to focus on developing for the academic year. Teachers research their ONE THING with peers and experiment in their classroom. Observed activity happens (not always classroom-based): Pre-meeting to discuss the focus of the observation (ONE THING) Observed activity happens Post-observation discussion to explore next steps and developmental/research opportunities Observation is conducted by a peer, is: Non-judgemental Ungraded Focussed on the ONE THING Driven by the teacher End of the academic year: self-assessment is repeated. How Did it Go? The short answer is: extremely well based on the questionnaire and focus group feedback from lecturers. On the questionnaire, 100% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed the ONE THING process benefited their teaching practice. There are things we are going to change for next year, for example, our communication strategy and our ONE THING vocabulary. The phrase “ONE THING” has stuck well but some of the role names within the process have not, for example, there was a lack of clarity on the role of the “buddy” and the role of the “peer”. While we’d simplified the observation paperwork dramatically, we know we can simplify it further. Over to You I’d like to take our observation research further and find out your experience of similar processes.

Peking to Paris Motor Challenge:  Experiences You Should Have Show Notes     Experiences You Should Have Show Notes - Interview with Michelle Jana Chan from Vanity Fair I had the pleasure of interviewing Michelle Jana Chan from Vanity Fair. Please listen to the episode at the top of the screen or wherever you listen to podcasts. She is an award-winning journalist and travel editor of Vanity Fair. She's is also a contributing editor at Condé Nast Traveller, presenter of the BBC’s ‘Global Guide’, a contributor to BBC Radio 4’s From Our Own Correspondent and a writer for The Daily Telegraph. Michelle has been named the Travel Media Awards’ Travel Writer of the Year.       What is Peking to Paris Motor Challenge and How Did it Start? The Peking to Paris Motor Challenge is a very special motor rally that starts in Beijing, China's capital, (formally known as Peking) and ends in Paris. The race began in 1907 as proof that cars could travel long distances. The race has run every three years (and has for the last decade), but there has only been 7 total. The route changes every race but it always starts in Beijing and ends in Paris and lasts about a month. In 2019 the route went through 11 countries and lasted 36 days for over 8,500 miles. It is one of the most unique vintage car rallies you can do. All cars are older than 1976 and is a true classic car rally. There are multiple categories based on the car type in addition to an overall winner. There is no prize for winning (well except a bottle of champagne and bragging rights). Racers participate for the fun and the challenge of it. Michelle competed in the 2013 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge and it was the experience of a lifetime.     What is the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge Like? It's like a competitive team sport on steroids; because you've spent a lot of money and taken time off of work and you really want to win. It requires teamwork and an intense amount of concentration. One-hundred drivers pile in for an epic 8,000-mile journey, and there is adventure around every corner. There are two people per car, a driver and a navigator (that can trade-off)., and it is a wacky and wild adventure. There is a powerful connection between driver and navigator where the two have a focused vision and joy for what they are embarking on.   What is the Route Like? The roads are a real mix of variety: tarmac through China, a lot of off-road in Mongolia (a lot of cars fall out of the race here), high altitude passes through Russia, tough, boring roads full of trucks and busy traffic, Ukraine and other European roads are high-altitude switch-backs. Once you leave the Alps and enter Southeast France you're at the end of the race and if you aren't already in the lead, you'll have a hard time getting in to first. You'll finish the race on the Champs-Élysées in grand celebration with a bottle of champagne.   Peking to Paris 2013   Map of the 2019 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge   Photo from endurorally.com Why should a person want to experience this journey? You love traveling, you love cars, you love history, you want to have an interesting experience with your partner. It's an experience that will allow you to see many different countries and cultures as you whiz by. You get to watch 2 continents change as you drive by and a macro sense of how people and the landscape changes. It's an experience that you would never forget. While it does take a lot of money and time to partake, it is well worth the experience of a lifetime. You will discover that you will need a lot of help along the way, and you will get to experience the kindness of strangers in countries you have never been to. It's the serendipitous encounters that bring the magic into the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge. How Far in Advance Should You Plan to Enter the Peking to Paris Challenge? You will need to book well in advance...

What is Yojees technology? How Did it evolve from concept to enterprise-grade platform and what does it all mean? In this episode, we sit down with Yojees Chief Technology Officer Vivek Aditya.

Julia Parsons joins Tim to talk about her role as a code-breaker during World War II. Julia was part of a a team of Navy women stationed in Washington, D.C. during World War II who worked to decipher German submarine messages that were sent in secret code using the Enigma machine. Her work relied on the now legendary Bombe machine invented by Alan Turing. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/WWII_-_Cracking_the_Enigma_Code_auphonic.mp3   If you’ve ever seen the motion picture The Imitation Game, you would be familiar with the story of Alan Turing and his highly secretive and revolutionary work during World War II. If you have seen that movie, it may give you a greater sense of what Julia Parsons, this episode’s guest, did in her own way to help the Allies defeat the Nazis. Not long after the war started, German submarines were sinking more ships than the United States could replace. During 1942, German subs patrolled just off America’s Atlantic coast. Under the cover of darkness, they would torpedo ships that were silhouetted against the city lights in the background. In the open water, German U-boats would operate in packs and sink entire convoys in coordinated attacks. If a U-boat spotted a convoy, the German skipper would communicate with other U-boats nearby using a complex machine that sent coded messages that only other U-boats could decipher using the same machine. Then they would converge like a pack of wolves and attack allied ships. The goal was to cut off England’s supply line from the United States. The machine that the German military used to create that secret code was called the Enigma. Enigma was so sophisticated it was thought impossible to crack. The entire secret language the machine used changed completely every 24 hours. So, even if you were to crack the code of the machine today, you would have to start all over again tomorrow. Both the Americans and the British were working hard on both sides of the Atlantic to crack the German military’s secret code. In England, British Intelligence put together a team of their greatest minds and set about trying to solve the Enigma code. Alan Turing, young a mathematical genius, ran his own group as part of that effort, which would somehow find a way to crack the Enigma code. In the process, he and his team created a new machine. Turing had realized that human beings alone could not analyze the vast amounts of data required every 24 hours to solve the Enigma problem each day. They needed a machine that was equally sophisticated at unlocking the Enigma code. The machine Turing’s team invented was known as the Bombe, and not only would it crack the Enigma code, shortening World War II by two or three years and saving countless lives, but it would also launch the modern era of computing. Thanks to the Bombe machine, the Allies could read German communications and gain a strategic military advantage in the field. German U-boats were neutralized. Allied ships were steered away from U-boats and kept safe. In December 1942, Turing went to the United States to share what he knew about Enigma, along with his own solutions, with the U.S. military. Meanwhile, the U.S. had its own code-cracking team. Within that larger U.S. effort, Julia Parsons was on a team of Navy women who worked to decipher German U-boat messages sent by the Enigma machine. In the Naval Communications Annex on Nebraska Avenue, thousands of WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Services) worked in three shifts to break the codes the Germans used in Europe and on the Atlantic, and by the Japanese in the Pacific.

How Did a Mule Save a Fish? That story and more on H2O Radio’s weekly news report about water. The heavy rains brought by Hurricane Barry can be directly connected to manmade climate change. Several countries are making travel plans to go to the moon—and one reason is water. A new cruise ship is heading to the Arctic—and is akin to a Prius. Prospectors are digging up ancient woolly mammoths for their tusks as the permafrost melts in Russia. These mules had live fish in their saddlebags.

How Did a Euthanasia Drug Get into Pet Foods? Veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward reviews the current pentobarbital pet food recall, the history of euthanasia solution present in pet foods, and the most likely source of pentobarbital contamination in dog foods.

Hi-- Let's get into the Dream Syndicate (or perhaps not, as they didn't get into much of anything from the years 1989-2012). Here in 2017, they're back with new work, How Did i Get Here? Spirited discussions ensue as to whether they have moved on from their previous incarnation (ca.1989), from the "Paisley Underground," a scene in Los Angeles that I'm pretty sure I would have been all over had I been a) there and b) of legal age in the eighties (and which also spawned The Bangles, who will forever be my 'band in the closet'). Also, PM Dawn makes an appearance, and this is important. Hey, it beats another sex scandal, right? Buy This Week's Vinyl on Amazon A Few Minutes With [**P.M.

Watch the video of this podcast here.How Did 17hats Begin? Donovan Janus is the CEO of 17hats which is an all in one business management app where you can manage client communications, proposals, contracts, bookkeeping and more. His idea for the software happened when he was working for an online gallery system at the time. The company was trying to generate and followup leads but they were wasting too much time on these processes. (And we all know, as business owners, we never have enough time!) He tried to find a complete solution for the client onboarding process, but nothing such as this existed at the time. So, he decided to build it himself, and despite being told they were crazy, the demand for the product was huge and the company grew quickly.The Struggles of Growing Your Product Donovan says that an influential book for him has been “The E-Myth” by Michael E. Gerber which explores the different stages of growth within a business. One of the stages is when you become ashamed of your business - which is where Donovan was at the beginning of this year. They had been in business for two years and had grown to 75 employees, but he started to see the cracks in the foundations of the business and was embarrassed, especially about their lack of customer support. They had launched a service called “Ally” where they actually run businesses for people and it was meant to have superior customer service. Whilst it was a good idea, it became too much and they weren’t ready for it. Two years in and they realised that they needed to make changes because the way it was going wasn’t sustainable. They had to start again from basics and turn everything back around which took a whole year to do. They shut down the Ally service and brought those people to customer support. These were people who have actually run businesses before so the support went from something that was embarrassing to “a point of pride”.How Did He Simplify His Business? Donovan tells us that recently he ran into his business coach from when he was 18. After discussing his business ventures with him, the coach told him that they had failed because he over-complicated them! His first business was successful, but then he added too many products The second company was going ok until he added more complication by introducing a photo app. And now with 17hats, he had added a human service to a software company Donovan has learned that often people overcomplicate their business because a client has suggested an idea. But if a client does this, you need to ask yourself what the side effects of this will be. [wpecallout title="Gold Nugget Take-Away:" align="left" image="/wp-content/themes/wpelevation/images/callout/nuggets.png"]Don’t overcomplicate things when it comes to your business![/wpecallout]The Importance of Having a Mission and Vision for Your Company Donovan says that the first thing you should do is define your mission and vision. He did this with his team before they even started the coding for the product. A couple of months ago they reviewed their mission and they were surprised to see how much they had got off track. One of the things that they always wanted to be was affordable for small business owners. However,  not only had they raised the price, but they had also overcomplicated it with three different pricing plans. So they have now lowered the pricing and gone back to one plan. If you don’t take the time to define your mission and vision, as a result you have a harder time making decisions. Defining this gives you so much clarity.Simplifying Your Company’s Structure = More Time The company has gone through many structural changes as it has grown. One of the challenges has been that as the company grows, processes slow down because everyone wants to put in their opinion and different people have to sign off on things. So they have simplified the structure and they work from a 90-day roadmap where everyone knows what they need to do and they have the full responsibility for that without having to go through all of the red tape. Now he has time to get back to programming!Books That Donovan Has Drawn Inspo from 1.The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz. He turns to this book for inspiration just to know that the things that they are going through are normal. 2.The Pumpkin Plan by Mike Michalowicz. This will take you back to foundations and what matters most in management such as bad clients and employees, and how to handle those situations. Multitasking Slows You Down! The company uses Slack but he is trying to limit how much they use that. He tells his employees that every time they send a message, that it costs $5. Why?  Because it stops their workflow and switches their intention. (It’s all about focussing people!) A fun exercise to do with your employees so you can see how less productive you are when you multi-task: 1. Write down the sentence “I am good at multitasking” 2. Underneath each letter in this sentence, write a number counting up from 1. 3. This time try writing the letter and then the number, the next letter and the next number etc See how much longer that took! By focusing on one thing at a time, you get so much time back. So there you have it. Some simple but awesome tips to help you get back to what is important in business. Tune in for that and more on this week’s WP Elevation Podcast! We would love to hear your thoughts on Donovan’s advice. Have you experienced any of these struggles and simplified your business as a result?

In 1896, Adolf Beck found himself caught up in a senseless legal nightmare: Twelve women from around London insisted that he'd deceived them and stolen their cash and jewelry. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow Beck's incredible ordeal, which ignited a scandal and inspired historic reforms in the English justice system. We'll also covet some noble socks and puzzle over a numerical sacking. Intro: A 1631 edition of the Bible omitted not in "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

Podcasts should be of interest to cord cutters. Instead of video on demand, it's audio on demand. Why pay for satellite radio or listen to a ton of commercials on terrestrial radio when there is all this quality free audio content out there. Just getting into podcasts?  Joel and Dennis let you know their favorite podcasts. When we first started listening to podcasts it was hard to discover content. This episode will point you in the right direction. Here are a few we love in no particular order. Serial - A feat of investigative journalism of a mysterious true crime. Nerdist Podcast -  Nerds, Chris Hardwick and friends, hang out and interview celebrities.  NoSleep Podcast - An anthology horror podcast born out of the NoSleep subreddit.   Black Tapes - If you've listen to Serial, imagine if it was paranormal.    We’re Alive - The dead walk in this post-apocalypse zombie-esque audio drama. It's my  personal favorite.   Pseudopod - Horror fiction anthology podcast. This one has been going a long time.   Invisibilia - This one is about the invisible forces that control human behavior – ideas, beliefs, assumptions and emotions. It's one of the best podcasts around.   TED Radio Hour - A podcast based on the Ted Talks we all know and love.   How Did this Get Made - Three actor/comedians riff on movies that are so bad you wonder  . . .    Freakonomics - A podcast about using economic theory to find the truth when it comes to the human condition.        

During wargames in Louisiana in September 1941, the U.S. Army found itself drawn into a tense firefight with an unseen enemy across the Cane River. The attacker turned out to be three boys with a toy cannon.

We'll also rhapsodize on guinea pigs and puzzle over some praiseworthy incompetence. Sources for our feature on the "Battle of Bermuda Bridge": Elizabeth M.
