What does a 30-year-old timekeeping protocol have to do with taking down a phone network? In this episode of the mnemonic security podcast, Robby welcomes OT security specialist Mikael Vingaard back to the podcast to share some war stories from the world of industrial security. They start off talking about the Network Time Protocol (NTP), a decades-old protocol that still plays a fundamental role in keeping systems synchronised. Mikael shares the story of how renting three servers in Albania accidentally made him one of the country's main sources of NTP traffic, and how shutting them down disrupted an ISP's IP telephony. They discuss what the story reveals about dependencies we may not even know exist, and what incorrect time can mean for industrial systems.They also explore configuration drift in OT environments, where small and often undocumented changes accumulate over long device lifecycles. Mikael shares findings from passive network assessments, including supposedly air-gapped networks that turned out to be connected and discusses how periodic verification can help organisations understand what is actually running in their environments.Finally, they discuss approaches to securely scanning OT environments, testing guardrails around AI and Denmark's push for digital sovereignty.Send us Fan Mail

Au risque de faire l'âge qu'est le mien, lorsque j'étais jeune, nous étions fiers du service public à la française. Nous disions non sans condescendance en regardant le fonctionnement d'autres pays, « Nous en France, nous avons la chance d'avoir… ». Les restes sans doute d'un Etat providence qui nous permettez donc de nous féliciter. Force est de constater, après le quart de ce 21ème siècle, que nos perceptions ont changé, à juste titre ou non. En tout cas, suffisamment pour que l'on se pose la question de savoir si le service public a encore un avenir ? à tout le moins suffisamment pour que cette question soit posée par le jury de l'ENM lors des grands oraux en 2025. C'est donc à la fois un sujet classique, évolutif et, par sa formulation, prospectif. C'est aussi un sujet multidimensionnel dès lors que pour le traiter il y a lieu d'aborder successivement la théorie juridique, les lois de Rolland notamment, la réalité économique au travers des contraintes budgétaires et des aspects sociologiques comme les attentes des usagers. Pour répondre à la question, le service public a-t-il un avenir, je reçois aujourd'hui Michaël Poyet, magistrat administratif, et professeur de droit public au sein de la Prépa ISP.

Daniel Oliveira e Francisco Mendes da Silva analisam as medidas do Governo para mitigar o aumento do custo de vida e a sua estratégia orçamental e fiscal e a rejeição de Luís Montenegro em adotar as propostas da oposição. Estará o Governo a tratar estas crise dando migalhas aos portugueses, como deu a entender o ex-ministro António Costa Silva?

El Instituto de Salud Pública (ISP)emitió una alerta a la ciudadanía ante la proliferación de la venta clandestina, a través de páginas web y redes sociales, de supuestos productos inyectables para reducir de peso —asociados a principios activos como la semaglutida y la tirzepatida— que se comercializan en condiciones totalmente irregulares.En conversación con Una Nueva Mañana, el jefe de la Agencia Nacional de Medicamentos del ISP, Jorge Canales, detalló que estos productos informales se ofrecen en frascos viales sin ningún tipo de etiquetado o con leyendas que advierten únicamente "para uso clínico", careciendo de los controles sanitarios indispensables.La autoridad sanitaria recordó que las versiones formales de estos medicamentos —comercializados en farmacias mediante dispositivos tipo pluma— requieren estrictos estándares de conservación, los cuales se incumplen de manera categórica en el mercado negro.Y junto a Osvaldo Lizama repasamos los estrenos más destacados en el streaming: la serie "Mis muertos tristes" de Pablo Larraín y el largometraje documental "El doc de la IA: O cómo me convertí en apocaloptimista", ambos ya disponibles en Netflix.Una Nueva Mañana, con Cecilia Rovaretti y Sebastián Esnaola.Descubre más contenidos como este en Cooperativapodcast.cl

Tammy Zywicki was on her way back to Grinnell College when she was last seen on the side of the road on I-80 in LaSalle County, Illinois. 8 days later, her body was found over 400 miles south in Missouri. But to this day, her case remains unsolved. Several suspects have been investigated over the years, but no charges have ever been filed. And as recently as August 2026, a new person of interest was named, and police are asking for the public's help. Anyone with any information about Theresa “Teri” Belenske (maiden name Vega), who was known to hitchhike and could have been traveling with the unknown truck driver Tammy was last seen with, can contact the FBI. Anyone with information about Tammy Zywicki's kidnapping and murder can call the Illinois State Police at 815-224-1171, email ISP.CRIMETIPS@illinois.gov, or the FBI's Chicago field office at 312-421-6700.

Esta semana quiero mostrarte una lectura que me dejó pensando varios días. Y después una tendencia que cambiará cómo vendemos carne en los próximos 5 años……Brasil produce el cerdo más barato del mundo. Y es el que más dinero pierde por animal.Los datos de agosto dices lo siguiente: Costo de producción por kilo vivo:

Petróleo a subir, juros a apertar, famílias a sufocar. O "Expresso da Meia-Noite" reuniu António Nogueira Leite, economista; Catarina Castro, especialista em mercados financeiros; Miguel Costa Matos, economista e deputado do Partido Socialista; e João Galamba, ex-secretário de Estado da Energia, para dissecar a tempestade perfeita que se abate sobre Portugal — e descobriu que, por detrás do debate sobre combustíveis e medidas de emergência, há uma questão muito mais funda e incómoda: o país continua a jogar ao dia da marmota, acudindo às crises com pensos rápidos enquanto adia as reformas que poderiam torná-lo verdadeiramente resiliente. As medidas anunciadas por Luís Montenegro — uma redução de IRS que vale 13 euros por mês para quem ganha 2.000 euros, e um bónus de Natal para pensionistas — foram desmontadas peça a peça. Do outro lado, as propostas do PS, nomeadamente a descida do IVA e do ISP nos combustíveis, foram acusadas de contradizer a filosofia climática que o próprio partido defendeu durante anos. Enquanto isso, o Banco Central Europeu prepara-se para novas subidas de taxas que os especialistas consideram economicamente discutíveis, a dívida soberana portuguesa caminha para os 4% de juro, e indústrias inteiras — do vidro à cerâmica — começam a olhar para Marrocos como alternativa. A única certeza: isto vai piorar antes de melhorar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Num discurso ao país à hora dos Telejornais, o primeiro-ministro anuciou aquilo que já tinha anunciado, deixando de parte a implementação de cortes fiscias directos no cabaz alimentar ou nos combustíveis, para além da habitual mexida semanal do valor do ISP. Luís Montenegro mostrou-se cauteloso e prefere as contas públicas certas do que apoiar de forma mais robusta os portugueses num período onde os combústeis e o cabaz alimentar continuam a subir. Mas de que serve um país de contas certas se os portugueses estão a ficar sem dinheiro no bolso?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Octotel CEO Trevor van Zyl joins the TechCentral Show to talk about where South Africa's fibre market goes next – including a potential merger with MetroFibre Networx. Van Zyl told TechCentral that Octotel and MetroFibre Networx are assessing a combination that would create the country's third-largest fibre network operator, with both companies sitting under a common investor in an AIIM-led consortium. In the interview, he sets out Octotel's position: just under 400 000 homes passed across the Cape Town metropole, the West Coast and the Garden Route; a balance sheet he says lets the company deploy capital when and where it chooses; and a Western Cape footprint he argues overlaps very little with MetroFibre's. He discusses the next phase of roll-out, too. As networks push into lower-LSM areas, “the commercials and the economics start changing”, he says, and affordability now reaches well into the middle class. He rejects the idea that fixed-wireless access can substitute for fibre in dense settlements – wireless has improved dramatically, he says, “but when you look at the actual demand case and what is required in those environments, it absolutely has to be fibre”. The more important question, in his view, is how to distribute it economically once you get there. On Openserve's move into the ISP business, Van Zyl is relaxed. He says he understands why Openserve did it, but that Octotel will not follow: “We certainly don't want to become an ISP. We're not good at being an ISP.” He also expects consolidation among ISPs as networks saturate, sees low-Earth orbit satellite as complementary to fibre rather than a threat to it, and will not rule Octotel out of any future move by MTN on fibre network assets. Don't miss the discussion. TechCentral

What happens when major broadband grants wind down? Revati Prasad, Executive Director of the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, joins Gary Bolton, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, to explore the future role of state broadband offices and the challenges of sustaining capacity for mapping, oversight, affordability and digital opportunity. Drawing on additional research with State Broadband Officers, Revati will also share findings from Benton's ISP focus groups examining the practical barriers to deployment—including permitting, workforce, supply chain and state-provider coordination—and the solutions that can accelerate broadband buildout while maintaining accountability and consumer protections.

The episode examines why fuel is so expensive in Portugal, noting that about 47 cents of every euro spent on petrol and around 42 cents on diesel goes to the state through stacked taxes. Using AI research, it breaks down the main components: ISP fuel duty, a carbon tax added on top, and 23% VAT applied to the full price (effectively “tax on tax”). A real-world example estimates that filling a 50-liter petrol tank at €2.075/L costs €103.75, with roughly €49 going to taxation, and an average driver could pay about €886 per year in fuel tax alone. The discussion compares Portugal's fuel-tax burden to other EU countries, questions policy choices, and considers alternatives like electric cars, driving less, public transport, walking, cycling, and living closer to work.00:00 Fuel Tax Shock01:29 Breaking Down Petrol Costs03:17 Diesel Taxes and Real Costs05:28 Portugal vs EU Prices06:27 EVs Not a Simple Fix08:11 Practical Alternatives to Driving09:54 15 Minute City Debate11:10 Switching to AI NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.Get help moving to and living in Portugal

Katherine White, Stephanie Wilt and Hailey Youngling were all forensic scientists with Idaho State Police Forensic Services who became part of the prosecution's expert-witness lineup in the Bryan Kohberger case. White, a Forensic Scientist III, specialized in forensic biology and DNA and was expected to explain DNA extraction, quantification, amplification, STR and Y-STR analysis, probabilistic genotyping and the examination of biological fluids and trace evidence. Her role was tied to the broader DNA work that became central to the case, including explaining how biological material was collected, preserved, tested and interpreted. Wilt was also a forensic biology and DNA scientist and personally examined numerous pieces of evidence from 1122 King Road, Kohberger's apartment and his vehicle. Her reports covered swabs from walls, floors, doors and furniture inside the house as well as hairs, stains, vehicle upholstery and Kohberger's reference DNA sample. She was also involved in examining the knife sheath, including presumptive testing that indicated blood was present on portions of it.Hailey Youngling's role was more closely connected to crime-scene and latent-print work. She responded with other ISP forensic scientists to Kohberger's Pullman apartment on December 30, 2022, helped process the residence, verified portions of the forensic work and later participated in collecting Kohberger's fingerprints, palm prints and other exemplars after he returned to Idaho. Youngling also served as a verifier on latent-print examinations connected to evidence from the King Road house, including prints developed from surfaces inside the residence, and she submitted at least one latent print from the sliding-door area for a database search that returned no identification. Together, White, Wilt and Youngling represented three different pieces of the forensic case the State intended to explain to jurors: White on DNA interpretation, Wilt on the biological evidence actually recovered and tested, and Youngling on the physical processing and fingerprint evidence. Their inclusion on the expert list showed just how much of the prosecution's case depended on reconstructing the crime through laboratory science rather than through a single eyewitness or confession.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:030326+REDACTED+Exhibits+S-1+through+S-13+to+States+Amended+Supp+Resp+to+Rqst+for+Disc+RE+Expert+Testimony.pdf

Podcast : 10 questions sur le métier d'administrateur au Parlement Dans la série des podcasts de l'ISP sur les nombreux métiers de la fonction publique pour lesquels elle propose des formations, celui m'intéresse et m'intrigue tout particulièrement et vous allez comprendre pourquoi. Dans ce podcast, nous allons parler de professions, souvent peu connues, exercées par des fonctionnaires dans les deux grandes Assemblées parlementaires françaises. Dans ces lieux institutionnels, que sont le Sénat et l'Assemblée nationale, des personnels de haut niveau, recrutés essentiellement par concours, exercent en effet une variété de métiers : surveillants, informaticiens, rédacteurs des débats, jardiniers, mécaniciens, ingénieurs, agents, assistants etc. Tous ces fonctionnaires sont régis par un statut particulier. Fonctionnaires de l'État, ils sont essentiels au fonctionnement à la fois des services administratifs et des services législatifs dans les assemblées parlementaires. Aujourd'hui, focus sur le métier d'administrateur. Pour en parler je reçois un administrateur du Sénat, avec 20 ans d'expérience, enseignant de Culture Générale à la prépa ISP.

¿De verdad eres el dueño de la cámara que cargas en tu mochila fotográfica o simplemente eres un inquilino pagando una renta perpetua a las corporaciones de software para poder usar tus propios lentes? En este episodio, analizamos las crudas realidades financieras y tecnológicas que están reconfigurando la industria audiovisual, y trazamos una verdadera estrategia de supervivencia para proteger tu dinero, tus activos físicos y tu criterio artístico.Analizamos a fondo los cinco acontecimientos que marcan el panorama actual de la creación de contenido:El giro militar de GoPro: Revelamos los detalles detrás de la venta de GoPro por 285 millones de dólares a Starman Optical para evitar la quiebra. Explicamos por qué una empresa líder en transceptores de fotónica militar adquiere una marca de consumo masivo para fusionar sus más de 2,500 patentes de óptica con sistemas de seguridad nacional, inteligencia artificial y defensa de EE.UU. ¿Qué pasará si acabas de comprar o reservar sus últimos modelos?La rebelión contra el monopolio de Adobe: Evaluamos el lanzamiento de DxO Photolab 10 como un ecosistema de resistencia con su licencia perpetua única de $250 USD y su estrecha integración "píxel a píxel" con Affinity Photo. Analizamos su revolucionaria IA de mapeo de profundidad 3D y segmentación de rostros, pero también desnudamos sus limitaciones críticas antes de que decidas migrar: problemas en macOS, incompatibilidad con RAW comprimidos de Sony y la ausencia de mejoras en reducción de ruido.La rebelión silenciosa frente al smartphone (Canon 2026): El informe financiero oficial de Canon confirma un impresionante crecimiento del 16.9% en ventas de cámaras tradicionales, impulsado por usuarios que abandonan la fotografía computacional móvil buscando una experiencia óptica auténtica.

No obstante, analizamos por qué el sistema de autofoco del cuerpo de cámaras como la Fujifilm XH2S sigue siendo el cuello de botella que te puede dejar vendido en entornos complejos.Circuit Valley CHC5: Analizamos críticamente el proyecto alemán de cámara modular de código abierto por menos de $700 USD en Kickstarter. Evaluamos el riesgo extremo de perder la comunicación electrónica con tus lentes y la falta de un procesador de imagen ISP propietario, lo que te obliga a ser programador antes que artista.Únete a nuestra resistencia colectiva contra el abuso corporativo. ¡Protege tu capital, defiende tu autoría y mantén limpia tu óptica!

Des phrases qui ne sont pas si rares. « Tu es sûre que tu veux prendre ce dossier ? C'est un peu technique. » « Franchement, avec une robe comme ça, tu vas déconcentrer tout le bureau. » « On va peut-être laisser un homme gérer la négociation, ce sera plus simple. » Ou encore cette scène devenue presque ordinaire : être interrompue en réunion, puis voir la même idée reprise quelques minutes plus tard par un collègue… et enfin écoutée. Si ces situations vous semblent familières, alors vous avez probablement déjà été confronté à des comportements sexistes dans le monde professionnel. Longtemps banalisés ou présentés comme de simples maladresses à l'égard d'une salariée, d'une collègue, ces propos et attitudes interrogent aujourd'hui les rapports de pouvoir au travail, mais aussi les limites posées par le droit. Quelles sont les évolutions juridiques récentes relatives à ces comportements sexistes et discriminatoires au travail, comment en apporter la preuve, quelles sont les obligations des employeurs. Une certitude, il faut des transformations profondes du monde professionnel face aux enjeux du sexisme ordinaire. Pour envisager ces nécessaires solutions, je reçois Anaële Maman, enseignante en droit, journaliste judiciaire et intervenante au sein de la Prépa ISP.

Chief James Fry and Idaho State Police spokesman Aaron Snell became two of the main law-enforcement voices explaining what investigators knew, and just as importantly, what they were not prepared to say publicly, after the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Fry repeatedly described the killings as a targeted attack based on the evidence investigators were seeing, but he also acknowledged that police could not guarantee there was no continuing threat to the Moscow community and urged residents to remain vigilant. As public pressure mounted, Fry defended the investigation and stressed that Moscow Police remained in command, even with extensive help from the Idaho State Police and FBI. He said his department was deliberately withholding details that could compromise the case, arguing that investigators had to protect evidence, witness information and the eventual prosecution rather than satisfy the enormous demand for immediate answers.Snell largely reinforced that message from the state-police side, emphasizing that ISP and the FBI were supporting Moscow rather than taking over the investigation. He repeatedly urged the public to distinguish confirmed information from speculation and explained that investigators were examining enormous amounts of tips, video, digital evidence and physical evidence while refusing to publicly validate theories simply because they were gaining traction online. Both men pushed back against the idea that a lack of public information meant police lacked information internally. Their consistent position was that rumors about suspects, motives, victim behavior and investigative techniques could damage innocent people and interfere with the case, while verified information would be released only when investigators believed doing so would not jeopardize the investigation or prosecution.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Anne Nord, Jade Miller and Rylene Nowlin were all forensic scientists associated with Idaho State Police Forensic Services who became part of the prosecution's extensive forensic case against Bryan Kohberger. Nord and Miller were among a group of ISP laboratory employees identified as potential expert witnesses because they had performed or reviewed forensic testing connected to the investigation. Their work fell within the larger effort to process the enormous amount of physical evidence collected from the King Road residence and other locations, document laboratory findings, and provide the state with scientists capable of explaining those results to a jury. Prosecutors eventually identified eleven ISP forensic scientists who could potentially testify about specific laboratory reports, including Nord, Miller and Nowlin, demonstrating how heavily the case depended on specialized forensic analysis rather than a single laboratory examiner.Rylene Nowlin had the most prominent role of the three because she was a longtime Idaho State Police forensic laboratory manager and became directly involved in disputes over the knife-sheath DNA. Nowlin testified that testing of the sheath produced a single-source male DNA profile and was expected to explain concepts involving touch DNA, direct transfer, secondary transfer and the persistence of DNA on objects. The defense aggressively challenged the limits of that testimony, arguing that science could not reliably establish exactly how or when Kohberger's DNA was deposited on the sheath, while prosecutors maintained that Nowlin's training and experience allowed her to discuss the relative likelihood of direct versus indirect transfer. Judge Steven Hippler ultimately permitted her testimony, making Nowlin an especially important figure in the battle over how prosecutors intended to explain the most significant piece of biological evidence tying Kohberger to the crime scene.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The defense aggressively challenged the limits of that testimony, arguing that science could not reliably establish exactly how or when Kohberger's DNA was deposited on the sheath, while prosecutors maintained that Nowlin's training and experience allowed her to discuss the relative likelihood of direct versus indirect transfer. Judge Steven Hippler ultimately permitted her testimony, making Nowlin an especially important figure in the battle over how prosecutors intended to explain the most significant piece of biological evidence tying Kohberger to the crime scene.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining light on wind energy’s brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Brent, welcome back to the program.  Bret Tollgaard: Appreciate you having me back on.  Allen Hall: There’s been so much happening in the world of UV prepregs and UV adhesives over the past year. Particularly on LinkedIn, I’ve seen numerous repairs which have used your material, SunRes material, to fix some pretty decent, uh, blade problems. Are you seeing, just seeing a, a much wider adoption now that everybody has basically agreed that UV is the way to go?  Bret Tollgaard: I, I really do think that it’s starting to become one of the go-to standards for a variety of repairs in the wind market. And yeah, it’s great to see both our prepregs and lights being used all over LinkedIn, showing the [00:01:00] capabilities of the materials and how happy customers are to use and adopt the materials. Allen Hall: Yeah. The UV materials are, are getting adopted by OEMs. A lot of ISPs, a, a lot of operators now have it as a standard practice to use UV cured materials just because of the speed and the time that is saved. Uh, it’s, it’s remarkable how much time you’re saving, because the, the real kicker right now if you’re trying to do a repair, even in the summer months, let’s just say it’s warm outside and the temperatures are right and it’s calm winds, you’re saving multiple hours per repair. What generally… How much time are you generally saving on a kind of a, quote unquote, “standard blade repair”?  Bret Tollgaard: More and more time, actually, with each session. So we might be saving 50 upwards of 80% of the labor of a traditional epoxy repair. Um, what we’ve been training companies to do more and more frequently is to actually pre-consolidate the entire repair patch downtower, whether it’s in the trailer or inside the tower itself. Um, and so you can pre-consolidate, get [00:02:00] all the air out in between your layers, have the primer pre-applied to the backside. That way, when you’re actually uptower, it’s simply peel, stick, roll, and then cure it out with our UV light. Sub 10 minutes, uh, will get you a fully cured part.  Allen Hall: Wow. That’s remarkable. Yeah, when I see those LinkedIn posts from all kinds of operators all around the world using your material I also noticed that the weather conditions may not be pristine like you would have to do with epoxy. So there, there’s like a band of temperatures that epoxy systems generally work in. But with the UV material, I’m noticing, I’ve s- I s- especially over the wintertime, I saw some cold weather repairs going on. Is there any limitation really to the UV cured patches and materials in temperatures?  Bret Tollgaard: There, there really aren’t for the temperature ranges that people will actually be out and installing these. Some of my favorite photos are when it’s negative five Celsius outside and everyone’s got the big gloves, the big [00:03:00] scarves, the big warmers and everything, and they’re applying our prepreg materials, uh, in below freezing conditions and still curing with the same 10-minute cycle time. Uh, another big advantage of our UV prepregs is everything’s already pre-wet out, so you’re not uptower with your fiberglass and your resin kicking off an epoxy or even some other, uh, you know, materials out there where it’s really hard to impregnate and get that saturation and kick off with UV. And so our prepreg repair patches really lend themselves to efficiency in the field, uh, over a really broad variety of, uh, ambient temperatures. So some of the negative five, negative 10 C installs all the way up to the hot ones in Texas and India and Australia, where you’ve got these people and it’s 100 Fahrenheit or, you know, 35 plus C, and you still cure with the same consistency, the same cure rate, the k- same cure speeds, um, really, really makes it a very versatile system. Allen Hall: It just gets rid of the variation and, and [00:04:00] that’s one of the items when we look at repairs. So we’re on the lightning side of this business where lightning damage happens, so we see a lot of repairs happen. We also see a lot of repairs that don’t look great. They’re, I mean, the vast majority do look great, but you get these occasional ones where they’ve tried to use epoxy in the wintertime and use a heat blanket. It, it’s difficult to do. It, it just is because of the material, it’s very difficult to do. I’m recommending more and more that they use a UV cure material if they’re gonna go off and do it, particularly as they, uh, do what I would consider to be a temporary patch until they get where they can do more in-depth work when it’s warmer outside. But it, it does really change the game because the ability to buy the material quickly is amazing. Uh, b- there’s no hazardous me- chemi- chemicals in, uh, the Sunrise material at all, so it can be shipped anywhere, anytime, overnight, on a airplane, on a truck, doesn’t matter. Does that really open up the marketplaces for the [00:05:00] Sunrise UV cure materials? Bret Tollgaard: 100%. And because of the long shelf life as well, um, we stock and store all of the common, um, materials used for wind. The prepreg, the putties, the surface primers. Fiberglass also does a great job of stocking and storing things. And yeah, because these can ship as unregulated materials, we get calls for next-day air shipping all the time, all over the world. And so whether it’s out here domestically, it’s going up to Canada, Europe, uh, Asia, Australia, um, it’s really, really simplifies the whole process from start to finish.  Allen Hall: Are there any special tools you need to use when applying a, a UV cured prepreg patch to a blade, or is it just standard existing tools? Is there anything unique there? Bret Tollgaard: No. It’s kind of as simple as it gets. There’s no vacuum bag required. There’s no heat blanket required. To truly install the materials, you’re gonna take off the back, uh, layer of, of the film on the backside of the [00:06:00] prepreg, re-stack and consolidate your materials. Uh, you’re gonna consolidate that with a basic three-inch or six-inch bubble buster hand roller. Every technician’s gonna know exactly what that is. Uh, it’s a simple piece of little rolling metal that, uh, simply rolls out any air between the, the repair patches. And then after that, you’re gonna grab a paintbrush, and you’re gonna spread some of our surface primer over the backside of the prepreg. So you got a hand roller, and you got a paintbrush That’s all you’re gonna need to get the material up onto the wind blade. And then of course, to cure the material, you need a UV light to do so. The sunshine, although it will cure the material, you never have consistent sun, light intensity, you’re on the shady side of the blade, et cetera. And so we’ve developed a variety of UV curing devices to help facilitate that. So our standard in the industry right now is what we call our Gen 2 LED lamp. It’s about the size of an eight and a half by 11 sheet of paper. Um, but it’ll, it’ll cure several square feet at a time when you’re 14 to 20 inches or so away from that [00:07:00] surface. Uh, but in addition to that, we’re also working on a patent pending LED array system that is gonna be a broader… Right now, it’s about a half meter by one square meter surface area, and it’s gonna, um, emit a very, very uniform, uh, amount of light intensity across that entire surface all at once to make it even easier for the installers so they can just strap it to the blade, cure it for five minutes, and then move it over if they have a longer, uh, you know, one to two square meter repair. Allen Hall: Wow, that’s remarkable. I, I have one of your lights, and I’m always shocked at how much light intensity there is because I’ve used other lights and seen other lights, and then they’re not nearly as bright or consistent across a, a piece of fabric, for example, where you just see uniformity.  Bret Tollgaard: That is certainly one of the challenges that we’ve actually encountered when people say, “Oh, well, I have a UV light. I bought it on Amazon. I bought it from eBay. I bought it from somewhere where that 200 watt listed on that is not truly 200 watts, or the light intensity, [00:08:00] uh, that they, you know, claim to have. UV cure materials need the correct wavelength. They also need the correct light intensity on that surface to guarantee your depth of cure and to make sure that you’re truly bonding to the base substrate behind you. The thicker you go, the more light intensity you’re going to need. So a lot of the knockoff materials really just don’t do it justice, um, and which is why we’ve, you know, intentionally built the LED curing systems that we have to cure with our prepregs, uh, and putties and adhesives. So they are all true one, uh, one single system. Allen Hall: We’ve looked at different light systems here at Weather Guard, and I know we’re engineer- we’re an engineering group, right? So we’re gonna go look to see what these different lights are, and are they really truly putting out the frequency of light which is written down on the ad. It’s amazing, like, uh, the variation you get light to light. It really depends on what the source is, but, uh, to test a light, just to test a light to make sure it’s putting out the right intensity at [00:09:00] the right frequency is super expensive. So you can buy a several thousand dollar sensor to check your hundred dollar light, or you could actually buy the right thing from SudRes and have the proper light because it does change the cure rate and what the result is. So- Y- y- is it easy to tell, Brett, when I, if I have a light in the truck, do I know it’s the right frequency? How do I even tell that, uh, to know that I’m using the right stuff?  Bret Tollgaard: Well, if it says SunRes on the backside of that lamp, you have a guaranteed method of knowing exactly what that is. Um, we have the most broad industrial use UV lamp on the market, like, first and foremost. There are several that cost four to five times what we do, but a lot of times they’re also a really small aperture, so they’re only curing a small footprint, which is why we’ve become the kind of gold standard for all UV cure repair solutions out there using a SunRes lamp. Um, we just make the best product, not to toot our own horn [00:10:00] too much. Um, but it, it really serves the need of what these industrial customers in wind and other industries are looking for. Um, and I’m sure there are other systems out there. I’ve personally tried and tested dozens of different lamps out there to always see what’s on the market, and what we provide is just above and beyond performance-wise for the cost. Allen Hall: And one of the, the questions that comes up with the light when we talk to operators, like, “Where do I get the light?” Well, you, you call Brett at SunRes and you buy yourself a light. The second question that happens is, has the OEM blessed this material? Have they validated the material? Has it been through material testing? Has the OEM done structural loading on the material? Did I know that as a repair material, it’s actually gonna adhere to my polyester blade or my epoxy blade or whatever this thing is? Do I know that this is gonna work? Sunrise has been through a number of, uh, OEMs at this point. What’s the status of your OEM [00:11:00] relationships there? Bret Tollgaard: Very, very solid, and constantly getting approved by more and more OEMs. Um, we’ve sold over 35,000 square meters of prepreg into the wind market alone. And with that has come a variety of, uh, you know, engineering approved jobs versus fully validated materials. We now have 20-year lifespans on a variety of different OEM, uh, wind parts. And so our epoxy and polyester, we adhere phenomenal to both. And yeah, our prepregs are getting, uh, used more and more in every single application.  Allen Hall: I, I assume you can provide references if, if someone were to ask, like an ISP, “Can I talk to the OEM about this?”  Bret Tollgaard: Absolutely. Uh, and it, it’s, you know, no secret. General Electric’s been one of the big pushers of UV cure materials now for a while, um, for both their epoxy and the LM polyester blades. Um, but there are several European OEMs that are actively, you know, certifying the materials as well.  Allen Hall: Oh, that’s a smart move on their part. [00:12:00] Uh, one of the considerations for using a UV material is training. Uh, do I need to do special training for my technicians? Is it really different than epoxy? Do I have to do any training at all? What’s the level of skill that would be in- involved in using a, a UV prepreg?  Bret Tollgaard: The reality is, if you have any bit of experience of knowing what a resin and a fiberglass and wetting things out, UV just makes that job even simpler. So all the repair technicians that have gone through repair academies, been trained on the, on site or on the job, that have gotten their hands dirty, as we like to call it, with making some, uh, composite repairs, UV is just gonna simplify the process even more. Um, in 2026 and 2027, we’re actually starting to work, uh, uh, more closely now with a variety of the blade repair groups or academies and training facilities to also get UV cure in people’s hands so they don’t experience, uh, for the first time when they’re out, you know, getting a job with one of these other [00:13:00] OEMs that are recommending use our material now instead of, uh, epoxy systems. Allen Hall: Mm. And all the experience that’s happened at, at Sunrise, I, I don’t know if a lot of people realize that you’re a roughly 40-year-old company. You’ve been around a long time, although you’re nowhere near 40. But the company has been around a long time. What was the origin of SunRes? Uh, because it wasn’t necessarily in wind, right? Wind is sort of an afterm- after-market kind of application where it kind of transferred over. But what, what was the core start of the business?  Bret Tollgaard: Yeah, no, we were founded in September of 1986. So in just a couple of weeks, we’ll actually hit our 40-year anniversary.  Allen Hall: Wow.  Bret Tollgaard: SunRes was originally founded, uh, in, uh, once again, the, the mid-’80s for just UV cure formulations in general. Spent the first several decades, uh, of its life being primarily an R&D, uh, kind of based group, um, formulating specialty UV cure solutions for mostly thick wall fiber reinforced applications. So anything from [00:14:00] boat hulls to, uh, drones to, uh, you know, bathtub repair and saddle trees. Um, we’ve sold really the, a whole kind of gambit of very broad basic systems to incredibly advanced high precision, uh, you know, applications. And so as we grew and evolved the, the formulas and the recipes to cert- uh, to solve certain needs, now we’re kind of elevating that to a more, uh, manufacturing based business and offering true repair solutions as opposed to just R&D and working on developing solutions to repair something.  Allen Hall: And that’s growing outside of just the pre-preg processing materials, packaging it up and shipping it. And y- you’re now getting more into specific solutions in wind, which is really exciting. The leading edge erosion issue is plaguing a lot of turbine blades in the United States and, and globally. Australia has a big problem with it, and there’s a, some other places that I’ve seen some pretty [00:15:00] rough looking blades, India being another one. Uh, the solution to go fix those blades has generally involved, uh, putting someone up on a rope, a- applying material, fiberglass back down, trying to repair holes in particular, and trying to cap that off. But now there’s some new materials that can speed up the process to at least get you back to a, a surface, a usable surface that you could then apply an LEP or whatever you decided to do there. What do those new materials look like and, and how are they being used today?  Bret Tollgaard: Yeah, no, great question. So ultimately there are broad– uh, you know, a really, really broad, uh, array of challenges that wind in particular really kind of faces. And so developing UV cure solutions to fit more of those than just a small little repair patch or a crack has been something that we’ve been working on for a while with a variety of different groups. Um, but leading edge in particular, not just protection, but also the rehabilitation of those leading [00:16:00] edges. So we’ve done that in a couple of different ways. Some have been some pre-consolidated repair patches that we’ve built, where a specific blade requires, um, you know, a, a design package to reinforce certain areas, whether it was, uh, too many ply drops in a certain zone or an area of high wear. Uh, but the other ones kind of more recently are starting to build, I’ll call like a fiber reinforced type putty, where you’re actually filling gaps, filling holes, filling imperfections with a more structural repair solution before then coming over the top with an LEP for the protection of that blade long term. And so being able to provide solutions for both, uh, hand, but then also robotics is something that we’ve been focusing on. So repair technicians can do it, but then also make sure that the, uh, robotics industry has the materials that they need to be able to do that in a fast and timely manner.  Allen Hall: So these new materials can be applied with a robot, I just heard. How does that work? Is it a cartridge system or a liquid system? How– Is it sprayed on? [00:17:00] W- how does this thing work?  Bret Tollgaard: Ultimately, it’s whatever that robotics company says that they would like and need. And so we build, uh, certain things to meet different demands on both of those aspects. But some are spray, some are coated, some are troweled, uh, all of which though, uh, include applying a UV cure material, uh, and then curing it to then make sure that they get the correct, uh, you know, mechanical and thermal properties for that leading edge or that leading edge re- rehabilitation. Allen Hall: That must be a huge time saver.  Bret Tollgaard: Phenomenally so. Uh, the robotics companies are, are pretty happy with the way that things are starting to unfold, and then same with the, uh, owner-operators. Like when you can go and you can have a robot Fix, sand, or sand, clean, fill that leading edge without a technician having to be up there. Tremendous amount of time savings, and then also just liability and repeatability, um, which is always an important thing, is having extremely high quality throughout that entire process, uh, and then recording it and everything like [00:18:00] that too.  Allen Hall: Well, that’s the key to any leading edge repair that I’ve seen, is the repeatability and controlling the, uh, sometimes the uncontrollables, trying to add a little bit of restriction about what you’re doing, how you’re doing it to get the consistency in the product. Because there’s a lot of products on the market right now, uh, that supposedly will do this thing But there’s– we have seen a variety of outcomes even for the same material. C- moving to something that’s a little more standard and, and particularly UV-based, where it’s stable, shelf-stable, right? I mean, th-there’s no expiration date necessarily. You, you probably put a time limit on it, but it’s shelf-stable, so I have a, a barrel of it in the, in the pickup truck. I can probably still use it. But, uh, what am I thinking about when I start to make those decisions? Because this is all new to most of the industry. They haven’t seen this. What– some of the things should they be considering when they’re thinking about, “I got a leading edge repair.[00:19:00] It’s kinda ugly. It’s probably cat three, maybe cat four. Where am I going here? Who am I talking to, and why am I thinking about UV?”  Bret Tollgaard: Yeah, I mean, ultimately it comes down to, you know, a variety of value that we provide the customers. Um, as you said, being shelf-stable is incredibly important. The reality is a lot of these repair materials aren’t being stored in a temperature-controlled warehouse. It’s being stored in someone’s trailer, and they’re gonna use half of a cartridge, or they’re gonna use four prepregs, and they’re gonna have six more sitting on the shelf for two more months until they move to another job that they’re gonna go and do something else. And so the materials themselves need to have an incredibly long shelf life, but also be able to handle those varying temperatures. Like if you’re out in the middle of Texas here in the United States, it can be 130, 140 degree Fahrenheit inside that trailer during the day, but at the same time at night, you can have temperatures below freezing in certain areas, and it needs to be able to withstand both of those extreme temperature environments. Um, that being said, [00:20:00] you buy from a group like us or you buy it from Fibre Glast where it is stored properly, and it can be shipped next day to, to you on site. Uh, it simply, it, yeah, it simply helps, uh, everyone long term, uh, make sure that they have the materials that they need.  Allen Hall: I would be remiss not to talk about our Strike Tape Ultra product, which is a partnership between Weather Guard, Lightning Tech, and SunRez. Uh, it’s a project that we’ve been working on for probably two years now, maybe a little bit longer. It, it’s been a tremendous amount of effort, engineering time and materials-wise, and learning about different, uh, performance of a, uh, particular resin system and trying to figure out what works. But, uh, there is now a solution, and SunRez is producing a lot of Strike Tape Ultra parts at the minute Really durable, based on Sunrise material, but you’re using not just our, our, our obviously our, our recent, uh, experiments and all the data, [00:21:00]but this goes back almost 40 years. You’re, you’re bringing 40 years of knowledge to the table to come up with a solution for a really difficult environment.  Bret Tollgaard: Yeah, and we’ve had to certainly rely on the past experiences that we have learned along the way. Um, you know, part of the challenges of working for the last year or two years together on this was to truly make as robust and durable of a system as we can. And so having this new 7303 vinyl ester-based system, uh, which we’re not only using for you but also using as the primary component for our LEP system, uh, it definitely has the durability and the longevity for, uh, your strike tapes, uh, in particular to be, uh, to withstand all the elements and all the abrasion and all the erosion that’s gonna come its way for years. Allen Hall: Now, I, I’ve watched you at trade shows take a hammer to some of your prepreg materials and demonstrate you can cure it within a couple of minutes, and you’re hitting it with a hammer and it’s super tough. We’ve done that at Weather Guard with the Strike Tape Ultra. It’s [00:22:00] crazy durable, and I don’t understand the chemistry of what you guys do. You’re experts in UV and all the chemicals and how to make this thing work, but it is truly remarkable how tough that material is and UV stable it is and how quick it is to cure and to get onto a blade in a couple of minutes. It’s quite remarkable, and the, the rain erosion performance of it has been crazy good. Uh, it’s a real game changer.  Bret Tollgaard: We’re extremely proud of the way that, uh, this has all kind of unfolded, and it has been a long time to kinda work through and iterate through the different formulas. Um, but the combination of the extremely hard and durable system that we have as the overcoating combined with our UV cure adhesive, AKA surface primer, uh, to act as that really, um, gooey, high elongation, great stress distribution kinda medium, uh, to then get that into the blade, it’s the perfect one-two combo, [00:23:00] and being able to cure in just a couple of minutes is only, uh, icing on the cake. Allen Hall: Yeah. It’s, it’s, it’s quite good. Uh, I know, uh, when people hear this podcast, you’re gonna get a lot of reach-out because we’re kinda getting near the end of the typical Northern Hemisphere season. It’s gonna get chilly here in about six to eight weeks since when we’re recording. How do people get ahold of you and start talking about repair patches and materials for this year, and also for next season? Bret Tollgaard: The easiest way is gonna be reach out to us, uh, via email, info@sunrez.com, sales@sunrez.com. We’ll put you in touch with, uh, all the right people within Sunrez to make that happen for you. Um, and similarly too, groups like com- uh, Fibre Glast have been stocking and storing the material for years. They’re really, really great at tailoring the exact amount of material that you need for a given job site. They’re willing to break it down to individual patches, single things of primer, putty. Uh, you come to us, you’re gonna have larger MOQs to be able to buy [00:24:00] boxes and rolls, uh, directly off the shelf. But at the same time too, we’re happy to get customers whatever products they need as quickly as they need, and put them in touch with the right people to do so. Allen Hall: So you just Google Sunrez, S-U-N-R-E-Z, or just go to sunrez.com, and you’ll get to the Sunrez site, and you can learn a whole bunch about the materials of what is offered. But you need to, to call Brett and call the team at Sunrez, uh, to, to get the solution for you. And it is, uh, really great working with Sunrez. It, it’s been a pleasure, honestly.  Bret Tollgaard: My, uh, my business development manager, Gerhard, will certainly have me say, “Let’s direct all that to Gerhard instead of Brett.” So he’ll be happy to get you all the info that you need. Um, but yeah, so ultimately, we’re an extremely customer-driven company, and we bend over backwards as often as necessary to get customers what they need in the time that they need it. It’s something that we really pride ourselves on. Uh, it’s also how we developed all these new, uh, technologies and materials to, to make customers’ [00:25:00]lives easier in the field. And so even as all of our wind portfolios, you know, grow and expands for product line offerings, um, we’re certainly interested in learning about what your challenge in particular is, and how we can best help you solve that challenge. Allen Hall: Yeah, so if you have a blade challenge right now, and most operators do, you better be checking out sunrez.com. Brett, it’s so great to have you back on the podcast. Love having you on, and we’ll speak again soon.  Bret Tollgaard: Looking forward to it. Thank you, Allen.

James Pope is on site in Las Vegas more than a week before the doors open. As SOC lead for the Black Hat NOC and Senior Director of Security Product Research and Technical Marketing Engineering at Corelight, his show starts with switches and access points rather than alerts. The team brings in the ISP, the firewall, the switches, and the access points, deploys them across the conference, and then moves into SOC mode. If there is no network, there is nothing to secure. The tooling arrives through partnership rather than sponsorship. James Pope says a company cannot buy or sponsor its way into the NOC, and that the team picks what it wants and fills gaps as it finds them. Cisco covers Umbrella and file malware analytics, Palo Alto Networks provides the firewall and XSIAM as the log aggregator, Arista handles switching and access points, Jamf runs MDM across the registration devices, and Lumen supplies the internet. Corelight is the network visibility layer. That layer carries different weight here than it would inside a company. Asking attendees to install a certificate or an endpoint agent so the NOC can inspect their traffic is a request nearly everyone declines. In most corporate environments the endpoint is one of the richest sources of signal. At Black Hat, visibility into attendee activity comes from network data. A Black Hat positive is malicious activity that is legitimate in context. Attendees pay to learn attack techniques against real targets, and researchers demonstrate new exploits on stage. Those events generate true detections no corporate SOC would ignore. The NOC lets them run rather than killing a paid training exercise or a live demo. So how does the team tell a training exercise from a real attack? It baselines each classroom and spends its time on the outliers. When seventy students in a room run the same attacks against the same destinations, the activity is probably sanctioned. The curriculum is ingested as a JSON file and the system moves through a series of gates, asking whether this is a class, whether multiple sources are reaching the same destination, and whether the attack would be expected in that curriculum. Anything that does not fit comes back for a human. The team informs far more often than it blocks. On the day of the recording, James Pope went to the trade show floor to tell someone that command and control traffic was running from their machine, and handed over logs for their IT and security team. He is not their manager, and what happens next is their call. Illegal activity is treated differently, and a handful of times per show the team asks a room to stop. At Black Hat Asia, traffic from a Corelight sensor showed a double RAT infection on one machine, a single APT running one implant for exfiltration and another for command and control. Working from traffic, James Pope established that the person was a reporter, the region they covered, and the company they worked for. Open source intelligence narrowed it to a single name, registration confirmed the person was on site, and the NOC invited them in. The reporter arrived expecting a product demo. The laptop was reset with everyone present, sessions were revoked, passwords were changed, and the reporter left in a secured state. This year the team opened the Outpost, running real Black Hat network logs from Corelight behind application guardrails, LLM guardrails, and a kill switch, where visitors query the data with text to SQL. Agentic triage stitches alerts into detections and detections into a timeline, and James Pope treats the ability to drill down to raw logs as a requirement rather than a preference. Success is measured largely by what does not happen: no compromise of registration, the switches, or the access points, and people who arrive infected leaving better than they got here.

For over 125 years, Farmers Mutual Telephone Company (FMTC) has helped connect rural Iowa—first with telephones, then cable television, cellular service, broadband internet, and now preparing for what may become agriculture's next major infrastructure investment: AI computing. In this episode, Kevin shares how a small rural telephone company evolved into a modern broadband provider and why Iowa's independent telecommunications companies have been uniquely positioned to bring fiber internet to rural communities long before much of the country caught up. He explains how fiber optic networks work, why broadband is becoming just as essential as electricity, and why nearly every modern technology—from cellular service to Starlink—ultimately depends on fiber somewhere along the journey. The conversation then turns toward one of the fastest-growing topics in technology: artificial intelligence. Kevin explains why AI is creating unprecedented demand for computing power, what massive data centers mean for energy and infrastructure, and why he believes the future isn't giant facilities consuming thousands of acres—but rather distributed micro data centers that could fit on a single lot while serving customers around the world. The hosts also tackle concerns many farmers have about large data centers, including land use, energy consumption, and local economic impact. Kevin discusses how smaller AI computing facilities could create new opportunities without removing productive farmland while giving farmers more control over their own data. The discussion explores whether producers could someday "farm data" just like they market grain—owning, storing, and deciding when and how to monetize one of their operation's fastest-growing assets. Along the way, you'll also hear: How the internet actually reaches your farm Why symmetrical upload and download speeds matter The differences between fiber, cellular, and Starlink The future of precision agriculture and AI Why protecting farm data may become just as important as protecting grain in the bin Whether fiber optics will ever be replaced If you've ever wondered how technology is reshaping agriculture—or where rural America fits into the AI revolution—this episode offers a fascinating look at what's coming next.
