Podcasts about modernization

Film and literature are rarely, if ever, neutral. They are saturated with ideas of their creators and they invite the viewer or reader to think with them. What's great about that interaction is that it is not bound by time. Stories that are decades removed from their original authors can be read by modern audiences and have a meaningful impact on their world.The author of The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien, had some strong thoughts about the modernizing world, and they can be seen in his books. From his opinions about the disappearing countryside to his opposition to the mechanization of society, he was a bridge between an old world and an ever increasingly modern society. Modernization hasn't stopped since The Fellowship of the Ring was first published in 1954 and we are still reading Tolkien's books today.In this episode we ask: How is The Lord of the Rings a commentary on our modern age? How does narrative act as both a mirror and a lens? All that and more on this edition of the podcast.Leave us a short voice message or text message at (312) 725-2995.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/questionsfromthepew

Infrastructure is one of the four pillars of IT Modernization, along with theDevelopment Process, Application Architecture and Deployment methodology. Leveraging the promise of Cloud Native means using the best of each of these.

Hey there Newspeelers, Tune in this Friday for my conversation with Dr. Heidi Mehrkens, in which she takes us through the history of how constitutional monarchs had to adapt to their much-diminished powers after Europe's many revolutions and constitutions. This new power, soft power as it came to be called, created new opportunities for the monarchs to connect with their subjects, a kind of connection that was seldom present prior to the French Revolution. And it's also the kind of power we witnessed throughout Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II's reign, mourning rituals and funeral. This episode will be available at 6 am ET, this Friday, Sept. 23rd. Talk to you guys then. Adel Host of the History Behind News podcast HIGHLIGHTS: get podcast highlights in your inbox.

Crypto used to be the counterculture currency of choice. Giving participants an alternative to the centralized monetary systems of nations, cryptocurrency allowed those in the know a way to transact and invest without the use of fiat currency. But in recent years, cryptocurrency has emerged from the realm of alternative investments and found its place in the world of mainstream finance. And with so many platforms offering retail and commercial customers a way in, banks of all sizes are seeing an opportunity to tap into this rapidly growing market.In today's episode of financial futures, we speak with head of new business strategy for America's banking solutions at FIS, Fiaz Sindhu. We examine the past and present of cryptocurrency and ask what opportunities the tech poses for the future of regional banking. We'll find out how this once alternative financial product has made its way into the mainstream, attracting both private and corporate interest. And we'll explore the ways in which regional banks can adopt decentralized finance and discover what they need to do in order to serve their own crypto clientele.We'll also ask: What is happening in the world of cryptocurrency and what does the future look like? Who is driving crypto adoption and why are customers so excited about it? What are the cultural, technological, and regulatory considerations banks need to make when adopting cryptocurrency? How can regional banks determine what their own customers' crypto needs are? Who can banks turn to for guidance on how to implement cryptocurrency solutions?

As the pace of digital transformation accelerates, it's now more important than ever to prepare your entire operations for the future—and it begins with a foundation of asset digitization. Digital transformation is difficult if you don't have a basic digitalized operation.  From there, you can take full advantage of continuous innovation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, allowing your company the ability to compete on a whole new level. Modernization of older assets is the key to managing the lifecycle of your plant, and in the process, increasing productivity, revenue, and profitability, now and in the future.

Tom Santucci, director of IT modernization within the General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy, and Steven Naumann, a senior advisor in Office of IT modernization within OGP, spoke to Executive Editor Jason Miller on Ask the CIO more about it.

One of the critical campaigns of Animal Wellness Action is to ensure the modernization of FDA drug-testing standards, which currently require the suffering and entail the deaths of countless thousands of animals each year. Key to this modernization--and the alleviation of this toll on animals--is to eliminate the requirement in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938 for animal testing as the only test method for any new drug development protocol. The pharmaceutical industry is burdened by outdated FDA statutes and regulations that bar the use of faster, cheaper, and more reliable test methods.   Recently, the work has become more challenging. Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina has introduced legislation to strip all riders from the bill, leaving just the base funding package for FDA.  That maneuver would block key reforms of FDA and keep the status quo when it comes to animal testing.    There is urgency to address the problem because between 90 and 95 percent of drugs found safe in preclinical tests fail during human clinical trials due to toxicities not predicted by traditional animal tests or because of lack of efficacy. This exposes the public to unacceptable risk and stifles the movement of life-saving drugs into the marketplace.   The broader results are extraordinarily high costs for drugs, inordinately long wait periods bringing drugs to market, and, even after the drugs are approved for common use, the potential of serious side effects for consumers. However, significant investments in technology development and research have resulted in transformative breakthroughs in alternative methods, enabling us to leave most animal testing behind.   One of the many organizations also in this fight is PETA. Kathy Guillermo, a senior vice president at PETA, joins our founder and president Wayne Pacelle to discuss her organization's work to uncover animal abuse related to medical testing, improvements in science such as organs on a chip, and legislative work to ensure passage of the initiative.   Marty Irby, executive director, joins host Joseph Grove.   Music from https://filmmusic.io: "Fearless First" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com); License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
