Podcasts about pipelines

Michael Bernstam discusses China's "colonial" economic relationship with Russia, demanding natural gas at heavily subsidized domestic rates. Capitalizing on Russian weakness, Beijing insists Russia fund its own pipelines while China signals a shift toward supporting Ukrainian territorial integrity, effectively throwing Putin "under the bus" to pressure the West.

En este episodio te enseño a combinar ImageMagick, Tesseract y Llama 3.2 para crear un pipeline de OCR inteligente en Linux. Olvídate de reescribir capturas de pantalla a mano.¿Cuántas veces te ha pasado que alguien te envía una captura de pantalla con información que necesitas y tienes que copiarla a mano? O peor aún, tienes un PDF escaneado del que no puedes seleccionar texto. Hasta ahora la solución era pasar horas transcribiendo o conformarte con un OCR básico que devuelve texto lleno de errores. En este episodio te muestro cómo construir un pipeline completo que automatiza todo el proceso.Primero capturas la imagen o la recibes, luego la preprocesas con ImageMagick para mejorar el contraste y eliminar ruido, después aplicas Tesseract para el OCR y por último pasas el resultado por un modelo de lenguaje local, Llama 3.2, que corrige los errores y da formato al texto. Todo con herramientas de código abierto, sin enviar tus datos a servidores externos.El script ocr_ai.py que he creado es capaz de detectar automáticamente el tipo de contenido que estás procesando. Si es código fuente, aplica un pipeline de preprocesamiento más agresivo con threshold y sharpen intensivos, y un prompt de IA específico para restaurar la indentación y la sintaxis sin cambiar nombres de variables. Si es una tabla, preserva la estructura de filas y columnas, corrigiendo números mal reconocidos pero sin rellenar celdas vacías. Si es prosa, simplemente corrige acentos, puntuación y caracteres mal interpretados sin alterar el significado del texto.También te explico cómo monitorizar un directorio con inotifywait para que cualquier imagen que caiga en él se procese automáticamente, ideal para combinarlo con carpetas compartidas de Nextcloud o Syncthing y tener OCR automático desde el móvil. Y cómo combinar todo con wl-copy en Wayland o xclip en X11 para tener el texto directamente en el portapapeles con un solo atajo de teclado.Cubrimos Tesseract 5 y su motor LSTM, los modos de segmentación de página (PSM 3, 6, 7 y 11), los diccionarios personalizados con --user-words para dominios específicos, las operaciones de ImageMagick v7 como colorspace gray, normalize, threshold, deskew, sharpen, negate y morphology, y cómo ajustar cada parámetro según el tipo de imagen. Además hablamos de OCRmyPDF para añadir capa de texto a PDFs escaneados y convertir cualquier PDF en un documento seleccionable y buscable.El episodio incluye consejos prácticos para troubleshooting: cómo ajustar el threshold cuando el texto es borroso (valores entre 40% y 65%), cómo reducir el ruido con filtros de morfología, cómo redimensionar imágenes con texto muy pequeño usando -resize 200%, cómo manejar fotos de documentos con -median 3, y cómo crear diccionarios personalizados con --user-words para mejorar el reconocimiento en dominios específicos como facturas, logs o código fuente.Capítulos:0:00 - El problema de las capturas de pantalla2:00 - Motivación: running, Hermes y el pipeline completo4:00 - Captura y preprocesamiento con ImageMagick6:30 - Operaciones clave: normalize, threshold, deskew y sharpen8:30 - Pipelines personalizados según el tipo de imagen10:30 - Tesseract: instalación, modos y diccionarios14:00 - ocr_ai.py: detección automática del contenido18:00 - Corrección con Llama 3.2 y prompts específicos23:00 - Monitorización de directorios y automatización24:30 - Consejos prácticos y cierreMás información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

Marty breaks down Canada's strange turn from pipelines to submarines, as Ottawa eyes new energy projects while buying German subs and sending $900 million to Ukraine. He weighs in on pipeline proposals, Carney's trouble with his base, and Canada's lack of shovel-ready projects. He also looks at Alberta's independence push, signature counting and Cory Morgan's July 18 telethon, plus manufacturing jobs, climate ideology and Europe's driver monitoring push.

Premier Smith's efforts to spin the issue are embarrassing. Nationalizing energy infrastructure will is the beginning of the end of Alberta's economy.

We're joined by macro strategist Kevin Muir—famously known online as The Macro Tourist—to break down the massive fiscal deficits pushing markets forward. We dive into the staggering reality of Canada's new government-funded pipeline project, which is costing a massive $35B+ but driving up to 140,000 jobs.Start an investment portfolio that's built to perform with Neighbourhood Holdings!

Danielle Smith says Alberta has entered a new era of economic growth, pointing to a string of major energy and technology announcements this week as evidence the province is once again open for investment. In an interview with Alberta Edge, the premier discusses Meta's $13-billion data centre, two proposed oil pipelines, and why she believes Alberta is making up for a lost decade of stalled development. She also addresses concerns over AI, investor confidence, and the province's delayed fiscal update.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

My special guest this week—and our go-to expert on all things that taxpayers and citizens need to know—is Kris Sims, Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. We discuss the hype around the Carney-Smith pipeline proposals and why taxpayers should be concerned that both the feds and the provinces are throwing taxpayer dollars at projects that are likely to balloon in cost. We also discuss the BC condo developers scandal: why are PM Carney and Premier Eby spending $3.2 billion of borrowed money propping up condo prices and bad decisions by developers? Visit the Canadian Taxpayers Federation online and subscribe: https://www.taxpayer.com 

Prime Minister Mark Carney appears to be succeeding where previous governments struggled, and one reason may be that he's reading the room. New polling shows a majority of Canadians now support building new oil pipelines. So what's behind this shift, and what does it tell us about Canadians' priorities? National political columnist Tasha Kheiriddin, whose latest column in the Montreal Gazette argues this is one of the reasons Carney is finding political success, spoke to Ken Connors.

Politicians of all stripes are out in full force at the Calgary Stampede, squeezing into jeans and cowboy boots. This year's focus: The upcoming referendum on Alberta separatism. Federal politicians are there in droves making their case for national unity. Independent pollster Janet Brown and CBC writer and producer Jason Markusoff join guest host Catherine Cullen to talk Stampede politics. And we'll hear what some Albertans are thinking when it comes to their province's future in the federation.

On The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian examines one of Canada's most important economic and political debates: the future of energy, pipelines, and national prosperity.Canada's energy future is once again at the centre of the national conversation. Can new pipeline projects finally move forward after decades of debate? Will the vision of nation-building infrastructure succeed where previous efforts have struggled? And how can Canada balance energy security, economic growth, environmental responsibility, and Indigenous partnerships in a changing world?Brian is joined by two of Canada's leading energy voices to explore the realities behind the headlines.In Part 1, Brian speaks with Trevor Rose, host of a leading business and energy podcast, about the current pipeline landscape and what industry leaders are saying about Canada's energy potential. They discuss proposed east-west pipeline concepts, the South Bow proposal, export opportunities, and the challenges surrounding regulatory approvals, financing, and land access.Trevor shares insights into why Calgary's business community is cautiously optimistic and whether Canada is finally positioned to unlock the economic potential of its energy resources.In Part 2, Brian welcomes Bill Whitelaw, Executive Director of RexTAG Energy Data and a respected energy historian and analyst, for a look at the history behind Canada's pipeline debates.Together, they explore the lessons of the Pipeline Debate of the 1950s, the National Energy Program, Trans Mountain Corporation, carbon capture, Indigenous partnerships, and the economic realities shaping today's energy decisions.The conversation also examines how pipelines could be financed, the future of oil sands development, the impact of potentially lower global oil prices, and how energy policy continues to influence Alberta's politics and questions of national unity.At the heart of the discussion is a larger question: can Canada create an energy strategy that brings together economic growth, environmental responsibility, energy security, and cooperation across the country?A timely and insightful look at one of the defining issues shaping Canada's economic future.

Deutschland zahlt weiter an die Ukraine – trotz Nord-StreamEin Standpunkt von Uwe Froschauer.Deutschland gehört seit Beginn des Ukraine-Krieges zu den größten Unterstützern Kiews. Die Bundesregierung hat Waffen geliefert, Milliardenhilfen bereitgestellt und weitere umfangreiche Finanzzusagen angekündigt. Inzwischen hat sich die rechtliche Bewertung des Nord-Stream-Pipeline-Anschlags verändert: Die Bundesanwaltschaft erhebt Anklage gegen einen ukrainischen Staatsangehörigen wegen seiner mutmaßlichen Beteiligung an der Sprengung der Nord-Stream-Pipelines – einem Anschlag auf die kritische Energieinfrastruktur Deutschlands.Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich eine politische Frage, die bislang kaum öffentlich diskutiert wird: Nach welchen Maßstäben entscheidet die Bundesregierung über Solidarität, Verantwortung und den Einsatz deutscher Steuergelder?Nach Angaben der Bundesregierung und verschiedener Medienberichte wird Deutschland seine Unterstützung für die Ukraine auch in den kommenden Jahren auf hohem Niveau fortsetzen. Im Zusammenhang mit den Beschlüssen des jüngsten NATO-Gipfels ist von weiteren Milliardenbeträgen die Rede. Damit bleibt Deutschland einer der wichtigsten militärischen und finanziellen Unterstützer der Ukraine.Gleichzeitig gehen die Ermittlungsbehörden davon aus, dass die Sprengung der Nord Stream-Pipelines im Zusammenhang mit ukrainischen Akteuren stand. Über die strafrechtliche Verantwortung entscheidet letztlich das zuständige Gericht. Unabhängig davon stellt sich bereits heute eine grundsätzliche politische Frage: Welche Konsequenzen zieht Deutschland, wenn ein Staat, den es in außergewöhnlichem Umfang unterstützt, mit einem mutmaßlichen Anschlag auf deutsche Infrastruktur in Verbindung gebracht wird?Nord-Stream – weit mehr als ein Anschlag auf eine PipelineDie Sprengung der Nord Stream-Pipelines war kein gewöhnlicher Sabotageakt. Sie richtete sich nicht gegen irgendein Bauwerk auf dem Meeresgrund, sondern gegen einen zentralen Bestandteil der deutschen Energieversorgung. Wer Nord-Stream zerstörte, traf nicht nur Stahlrohre in der Ostsee, sondern das wirtschaftliche Rückgrat eines Industrielandes.Deutschland war – und ist – über Jahrzehnte auf eine verlässliche und vergleichsweise günstige Gasversorgung angewiesen. Erdgas ist nicht nur Heizenergie für Millionen Haushalte. Es ist Rohstoff für die Chemieindustrie, Energieträger für Stahlwerke, Glashersteller, Papierfabriken und zahllose mittelständische Unternehmen verschiedener Branchen. Die beiden Nord-Stream-Systeme verfügten zusammen über eine Transportkapazität von bis zu 110 Milliarden Kubikmetern Erdgas pro Jahr und gehörten damit zu den bedeutendsten Energieverbindungen Europas.Es wäre zu einfach, sämtliche wirtschaftlichen Probleme Deutschlands ausschließlich auf die Sprengung der Pipelines zurückzuführen. Ebenso unredlich wäre es jedoch, deren Bedeutung kleinzureden. Mit der Zerstörung der Leitungen verschwand eine zentrale Versorgungsoption dauerhaft aus dem energiepolitischen Instrumentarium Deutschlands. Die Folge sind höhere Unsicherheiten bei der Energieversorgung sowie eine stärkere Abhängigkeit von alternativen Bezugsquellen.Hohe Energiepreise verteuern jede industrielle Produktion. Unternehmen verlieren an Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, Investitionen werden verschoben oder ins Ausland verlagert, energieintensive Betriebe reduzieren ihre Produktion oder schließen Standorte. Der Anschlag war damit ein weiterer, äußerst schwerer Belastungsfaktor für den ohnehin unter Druck stehenden Industriestandort Deutschland.Die politische ReaktionMit der Anklage der Bundesanwaltschaft hat dieser Terrorakt eine neue Qualität erhalten. Sollte sich der erhobene Tatvorwurf vor Gericht bestätigen und sollten sich darüber hinaus Verantwortlichkeiten staatlicher ukrainischer Stellen nachweisen lassen, hätte dies erhebliche politische und völkerrechtliche Bedeutung....https://apolut.net/milliarden-trotz-nord-stream-anschlag-von-uwe-froschauer/

Liquids pipelines operate quite differently from their gas-pipeline cousins. They are regulated under a different law than gas pipelines, plus they face broader competition. As a result, they enjoy more flexibility in some respects but less in others than gas systems.

Pipeline bullies have become a thing in order to squash questions and debate over the growing concerns about secrecy and just how much Glenfarne will cost taxpayers.

This episode we are joined by Mrs. Bonnie DuPont — director and former Calgary energy executive whose board career spans Viterra, NAV Canada, the Bank of Canada, AltaGas, Burke Construction, Silver Birch Energy, Silver Willow Energy, G3 Canada, and CustomerWorks. Mrs. DuPont executive career includes 13 years with Enbridge (formerly Interprovincial Pipelines) from 1997 to 2010, where she led talent and leadership development across the organization and oversaw the integration of the company's Mid Coast Energy acquisition in Houston, Texas. Prior to Enbridge, Mrs. DuPont held senior roles in the agriculture sector with the Alberta Wheat Pool and the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, and began her career in energy with the Saskatchewan Power Corporation following a position with the Saskatchewan Department of Labour. Mrs. DuPont has also served on the University of Calgary's Board of Governors, the Haskayne School of Business Management Advisory Council, and currently sits on the strategic advisory board for the O'Brien Institute for Public Health at the Cumming School of Medicine. Mrs. DuPont was the first female President of the Calgary Petroleum Club. Mrs. DuPont Ms. earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Regina and went on to complete a Master's degree at the University of Calgary. Among other things we learned about 50 Years in Canadian Energy: Pipelines, Boards & What's Next.Enjoy.Thank you to our sponsors.Without their support this episode would not be possible:Connate Water SolutionsATB Capital MarketsBunch Projects-*This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only, and is not intended as investment advice.

Chris Holman welcomes back Tekea Norwood, Chief Operating Officer of CAMW!, Capital Area Michigan Works!, Lansing, but serving Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties, Michigan. Walk us through how Capital Area Michigan Works! helps an employer build a Registered Apprenticeship program from the ground up? The process involves employers, educators, and workforce partners working together. Why is that collaboration so important to creating a successful talent pipeline? Apprenticeships can be used for both new hires and current employees. How are companies using apprenticeships to retain and upskill existing workers? Employers today are focused on workforce reliability and retention. How do Registered Apprenticeships help companies reduce turnover and build long-term workforce stability? For businesses that may think apprenticeships are too complicated or expensive, what support does Capital Area Michigan Works! provide to make the process manageable and practical? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Watch MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ ● Registered Apprenticeships are federally recognized and standardized programs that support the training, productivity, and retention of skilled workers. ● Apprenticeships are a proven win-win training model with benefits for both employers and our region's workforce. For example: ○ Apprenticeships offer a “learn and earn” model, allowing workers to contribute to the day-to-day operations of a company and earn a paycheck while they learn the necessary skills. ○ Apprenticeships lower turnover rates and reduce hiring expenses by developing talent from within. ○ Over 90% of apprentices are still employed with a company one-year after completing their apprenticeship. ● While many people are familiar with apprenticeships in the construction and manufacturing sectors, almost any occupation is a good fit for apprenticeships, including IT, accounting, childcare, and customer service. About Race to Talent: ● Race to Talent is for employers who want to grow, retain, and develop talent through registered apprenticeship programs. ● It is an outreach effort in partnership with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to increase the number of employers offering registered apprenticeship programs. ● During the event today, employers will hear from regional companies that have built successful apprenticeship programs in healthcare, manufacturing, HR, and more! How CAMW! Supports Employers: ● Capital Area Michigan Works! can help employers create a custom registered apprenticeship program for their company's goals. ● We work directly with employers to ideate training opportunities and walk them through program requirements to build the best apprenticeship program for their team. Get Involved: ● Employers interested in starting an apprenticeship program should contact CAMW!'s apprenticeship team at apprenticeship@camw.net. ### ABOUT CAMW! Capital Area Michigan Works!, a proud partner of the American Job Center network, connects with businesses to develop recruiting and retention strategies, and strengthens the local workforce by enhancing education and career opportunities for job seekers.

Open seasons are a key part of marketing capacity for gas pipeline and storage projects, but they can also raise several regulatory questions. And the answers depend on what kind of open season it is. Today, we take a deep dive into the ins and outs of a gas project open season.

On episode 13 of Data Renegades, CL Kao sits down with Josh Wills to explore how AI agents are reshaping software engineering, data science, and data infrastructure. They discuss verification, benchmarking, pre-training data pipelines, multimodal AI, and why understanding a problem may matter more than writing code. Josh also shares lessons learned from decades of building large-scale data systems and his journey from management back to hands-on engineering.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Borders, Western Memory, Medicine, and the Green Energy Fight in a Post–Alan Nathan Era Guests, Mark Krikorian, James Hankins, Dr. Toby Watson and Steve Goreham Carrying Forward the Alan Nathan Tradition In this episode of Spouting Off, host Karen Kataline continues what she describes as a new era for The Alan Nathan Show and the Alan Nathan All-Stars following Alan Nathan's untimely passing. She explains that the show will continue in his memory and honor, with her likely continuing to host many Monday editions. The program includes a mix of political commentary, interviews, tribute references, sponsor segments, and closing reflections on the Main Street Radio Network's transition after Alan Nathan's death. Mark Krikorian on Immigration, Libertarianism, and Sanctuary Policies Karen's first major guest is Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. They discuss immigration policy, libertarian support for open immigration, and the conflict between open borders and a welfare state. Krikorian argues that libertarians once aligned more often with conservatives on taxes, regulation, and government size, but now often align with the left on issues of sovereignty, borders, and immigration. Karen presses the question of whether open immigration can coexist with government benefits and public services. Chicago, Illinois, and Immigration Enforcement The conversation then focuses on Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois as sanctuary jurisdictions. Krikorian says local law enforcement is prevented from cooperating with immigration enforcement, even when people arrested for local crimes are found to be deportable. He says ICE primarily wants local authorities to hold such individuals long enough for federal agents to take custody, but sanctuary policies interfere with that process. Karen and Krikorian also discuss Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and conflicts involving ICE facilities and federal officers. Karen's Commentary on Communism, Democracy, and the Mayoral Race After the first interview, Karen turns to commentary about an upcoming mayoral race and expresses concern about a candidate she describes as Marxist, communist, or democratic socialist. She argues that communist movements often misrepresent their intentions and that terms such as democracy, republic, socialism, and communism are being confused or misused. Her commentary frames the political moment as one in which the left has embraced ideas she sees as hostile to private property, constitutional government, and individual liberty. James Hankins and the Lost Western Tradition Karen then interviews James Hankins, Harvard University historian and co-author of The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Hankins describes the book as an effort to recover the history of Western civilization from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and into the modern world. He argues that Western civilization has not been adequately taught in schools or universities for decades and says that ignorance of history contributes to political confusion, especially around communism, democracy, and republican government. Harvard, Communism, and Historical Amnesia Karen asks Hankins about teaching at Harvard, which she criticizes as politically hostile to conservative viewpoints. Hankins responds that he does not believe the entire university is corrupt, but says some of the loudest voices tend to come from administrators and graduate students rather than the whole institution. The short interview emphasizes the importance of understanding the past, learning clear definitions, and recognizing that terms like democracy and republic carry meanings rooted in Western history. Dr. Toby Watson on Psychiatric Medication and Violence Another major guest is Dr. Toby Watson, a clinical psychologist from Wisconsin. He describes his background researching psychotropic medications, presenting data to the FDA, working on black-box warning labels for SSRIs, and consulting in forensic cases where medication may be connected to violent or self-destructive behavior. Karen asks whether antidepressants and psychiatric medications can fuel violence, and Watson says that SSRIs are known to increase suicidal thoughts and behavior in some patients, especially through a condition he identifies as akathisia, which involves intense restlessness, agitation, and emotional distress. Politics, Medication, and Social Contagion Karen asks whether the issue may involve more than money and whether political motives could be connected to the suppression of information about medication risks. Watson says he believes political factors are involved and connects the issue to broader claims about family breakdown, poverty, medication use among vulnerable populations, and disability outcomes. Karen also raises gender ideology, social contagion, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Watson says he does not have direct knowledge of that case but suggests the profile could fit someone who had used psychiatric medication, while making clear he cannot confirm it. Steve Goreham on Climate Policy and Rising Energy Costs The final interview features Steve Goreham, executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. Karen asks him about rising electricity prices and green-energy mandates. Goreham argues that wind, solar, and other renewable-energy policies are driving costs higher, particularly in blue states. He contrasts states such as California, Maine, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut with states that still rely more heavily on natural gas or coal, saying the latter have seen lower electricity-price increases. Green Energy, Pipelines, and the AI Power Demand Goreham also discusses the effects of federal policy, the “one big beautiful bill,” pipeline politics, and Donald Trump's opposition to green-energy mandates. He says Trump is using leverage over offshore wind and pipeline approvals, particularly involving New York and New England energy access. The discussion then shifts to artificial intelligence and the rapid growth of data centers, which Goreham says require reliable twenty-four-hour power that cannot be supplied by wind and solar alone. He argues that the AI energy demand may overwhelm net-zero and green-energy policies. A Show in Transition Karen closes the program by emphasizing that the Alan Nathan All-Stars are entering a new chapter while keeping Alan Nathan as their guiding star. Across the episode, she uses interviews and commentary to connect immigration, political ideology, Western civilization, psychiatric medication, climate policy, energy costs, and media narratives. The program remains strongly opinion-driven, with Karen and her guests framing current events through themes of sovereignty, liberty, historical memory, institutional mistrust, and resistance to centralized control.

Conrad Black emphasizes the vital economic ties between the U.S. and Canada, noting Canada provides 25% of U.S.aluminum and 20% of its uranium. He expresses confidence that Prime Minister Mark Carney will build necessary oil pipelines to both coasts to benefit the Canadian economy, despite opposition from environmental groups and Carney's own "green instincts."

In the May 2026 edition of the PRmoment Podcast, host Ben Smith sits down with new business maestro Andrew Bloch (AAR, PCB Partners) to dissect a shifting UK communications landscape. The overarching theme of the month highlights a widening divide between agencies riding massive waves of momentum and those experiencing localized, procurement-driven hesitation.Before diving into the market data, Ben shares two critical industry diary dates for your radar:AI in PR Masterclass (July 2nd, 2026): Titled The Age of Algorithms, Predictive Analytics, and Risk, this event is a comprehensive guide to navigating future-facing tech.

Ensure your team's best creative work is in the running by submitting over at creativemomentawards.co.Key Themes1. The procurement squeeze and market polarizationAndrew Bloch defines the current climate as one of "cautious optimism" mixed with macro anxiety. Pipelines are active, but growth is unevenly distributed. Agencies with sharp specialisms—particularly in sports, consumer lifestyle, and social—are thriving, while others face gridlocked client sign-offs. Furthermore, clients are heavily relying on procurement to extract maximum commercial impact, shifting expectations entirely away from traditional "column inches."2. The independent "David vs. Goliath" surgeA massive takeaway from May's pitch cycle is the clear dominance of independent agencies over legacy network holding companies. Clients are progressively prioritizing agile storytelling and pure earned media capabilities over sheer corporate scale.3. M&A Strategy: earned media as strategic platform glueWhile private equity (PE) and trade buyers are exercising strict valuation discipline, high-quality independents remain hot targets. Private equity is increasingly viewing standout consumer PR agencies as anchor platforms to bolt on smaller social, data, and AI-enabled services.Major pitch wins & M&A DealsNotable Wins: Words and Pixels scooped the coveted UK/Ireland brief for tech giant Pinterest, beating out legacy networks. Newly launched Joe Public landed Sneak Energy, and The Romans expanded their sports footprint by securing Oakley's global and North American remit. Other wins included Grayling taking the Croatian National Tourist Board and Hope and Glory onboarding Ask Italian.M&A Highlights: Publicis made a massive $2.2 billion bet on tech infrastructure by acquiring data collaboration platform LiveRamp at a 30% premium. Meanwhile, Havas snapped up Paris-based corporate influence firm Format, and Mike Worldwide acquired workplace communications agency Hudson Lake.Quotes from Andrew BlochOn maintaining agency momentum:"In a market like this where budgets could disappear overnight, momentum is really the closest thing you can get to having security... You can't stand still in this market. Standing still is going backwards."On why private equity is hunting for PR firms:"What's really encouraging for the PR space is they're seeing earned media as actually the glue that ties together lots of different bits of the marketing mix."On the resurgence of pure storytelling:"A lot of agencies have almost forgotten the art of storytelling and the art of earned media... Let's not forget how important earned media is. That's where PR is."

The skilled trades are at a crossroads. By some industry estimates, for every five experienced technicians retiring, only two new ones are entering the field—highlighting a growing HVAC talent gap. At the same time, buildings are becoming more complex, more connected, and more dependent on high-performance mechanical systems. The stakes are real: without a new wave of trained, adaptable technicians, the systems that power hospitals, schools, and data centers are at risk.So how do we close the skills gap while preparing young technicians for a faster, more digital future? And what does it take for a field tech to evolve into a leader who can train the next generation?Welcome to Straight Outta Crumpton. In the latest episode, host Greg Crumpton sits down with Phil Manchester, Service Team Lead at AirTight FaciliTech. Together, they explore the realities of modern HVAC careers—from hands-on technical growth to leadership development and the power of self-education.What you'll learn…The widening HVAC talent gap—and why stronger training pipelines matter: With experienced techs retiring faster than new ones are entering the field, companies must accelerate how they develop and support emerging talent.How social media can boost recruiting and awareness: Sharing real field work and lessons learned can spark interest in the trades and influence the people guiding young career decisions.Why leadership now requires emotional intelligence: Technical skill alone isn't enough—today's team leads must communicate well, manage people effectively, and continue growing personally.Phil Manchester is a Service Team Lead at AirTight FaciliTech in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he has grown from Service Technician to field leader over nearly nine years. A graduate of Hudson Valley Community College's two-year HVAC program, he began his career in facilities maintenance before expanding into commercial HVAC service, developing skills in ultrasonic testing, shaft alignment, and complex mechanical systems. Phil continues to build both his technical expertise and leadership capabilities, focusing on mentoring technicians and strengthening team performance in the field.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Immigration, Western Civilization, Psychiatric Drugs, and Green Energy Karen Kataline Continues the Alan Nathan Show in Alan's Memory In this episode of The Alan Nathan Show / Alan Nathan All-Stars, host Karen Kataline opens by acknowledging the untimely passing of Alan Nathan and explaining that the show continues in his memory and honor. She notes that she and Alan had often done Mondays together and says it is an honor to help continue the program during this transitional period for the Main Street Radio Network. Throughout the episode, Karen frames the broadcast as part of a new chapter while preserving the spirit, name, and tradition of the Alan Nathan All-Stars. Immigration, Libertarianism, and Sanctuary Policies Karen's first guest is the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, identified in the transcript as Mark Krikorian or a similar spelling. They discuss immigration enforcement, libertarian arguments for open immigration, and the tension between open borders and a welfare state. Mark argues that libertarians once aligned more closely with conservatives on taxes, regulation, and the size of government, but now often align with the left on questions of sovereignty, borders, and immigration. He cites Milton Friedman's argument that open immigration and a welfare state cannot coexist and says that while social programs can be tightened, the welfare state is not simply going away. Chicago, ICE, and Local Non-Cooperation The discussion then turns to Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois, which Mark describes as sanctuary jurisdictions. He explains that ICE is not asking local police to conduct immigration checks in the street, but to hold criminal suspects who are already arrested and fingerprinted if they are deportable, so ICE can take custody. He argues that sanctuary policies release deportable offenders back into communities and says this especially harms immigrant neighborhoods. Karen and Mark also criticize Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, accusing them of interfering with immigration enforcement and downplaying violence in Chicago. Karen Reflects on Alan Nathan and the Show's Transition After the first interview and intervening ad segments, Karen returns to discuss the show's transition after Alan Nathan's death. She encourages listeners to hear the tribute program that aired over the weekend and recalls clips of Alan and his wife Jane from years earlier, describing their on-air chemistry as entertaining, lively, argumentative, and classic talk radio. Karen says it is a sad time for everyone at Main Street Radio Network, but emphasizes that the Alan Nathan Show and Alan Nathan All-Stars tradition will continue. James Hankins on The Golden Thread and Western Civilization Karen then welcomes James Hankins, described as a Harvard University historian and co-author of The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Hankins explains that the “golden thread” is a metaphor for the Western tradition, and that the book aims to recover the history of Western civilization from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and into the modern world. He argues that this history has not been properly taught in schools or universities for decades, leaving people without a shared understanding of democracy, republics, communism, socialism, and the meaning of Western civic life. Communism, Democratic Socialism, and Historical Amnesia Karen connects the discussion to contemporary politics, warning against Marxism, communism, and democratic socialism. Hankins says many people who call themselves democratic socialists do not understand what the term means or how socialism has operated historically. He argues that adding the word “democratic” does not solve the deeper problem, because socialism has not historically favored democracy. Karen and Hankins agree that many public arguments suffer because people no longer share basic definitions or historical knowledge, especially about the distinction between a republic and a democracy. Dr. Toby Watson on Psychiatric Drugs and Violence Later, Karen interviews clinical psychologist Dr. Toby Watson, who says he has worked on research and testimony related to psychiatric medications, including SSRI antidepressants and black-box warning labels. Watson says his work involves outcome research on psychotropic medications and forensic cases where people with no history of violence commit violent or self-destructive acts after taking medication. Karen asks whether antidepressants and psychiatric medications may be contributing to violence, especially in the wake of Columbine-era discussions. Watson answers strongly that SSRIs can increase suicidal thoughts and behavior and says this is acknowledged in FDA black-box warnings. Akathisia, Political Motives, and Youth Medication Dr. Watson discusses akathisia, describing it as an inner agitation or restlessness that can make people feel as though they want to crawl out of their skin. He says it can occur with SSRIs and is even more common with antipsychotics. Karen asks whether suppression of this information may be about more than money, suggesting possible political motives. Watson agrees that politics can be involved and argues that children in poverty, especially those connected to Medicaid or Medicare systems, are disproportionately medicated at higher doses even when diagnosis and symptom severity are considered. He also references Anatomy of an Epidemic and argues that long-term psychiatric drug use can contribute to disability and general decline. Gender Ideology, Violence Profiles, and Dr. Watson's Cautions Karen and Watson also discuss social contagion, gender ideology, and political violence. Karen asks about the murder of Charlie Kirk and whether the alleged killer was on psychiatric medication. Watson says he has no direct knowledge and is not involved in that investigation, cautioning that too much misinformation is circulating to make a firm claim. However, he says the suspect fits a known profile for certain kinds of shooters and that, statistically, it would not surprise him if psychiatric medication were involved. Karen closes the short segment by inviting Watson back and directing listeners to his work online. Steve Goreham / Gorham on Green Energy and Rising Electricity Prices Karen closes the show with Steve Goreham or Steve Gorham, described as executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. The conversation focuses on rising electricity prices, renewable energy policies, and what Karen calls the “green new scam.” Steve argues that expensive electricity increases are concentrated in blue states that have pursued aggressive green policies, naming California, Maine, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. He contrasts those with states such as Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Missouri, which he says rely more on natural gas or coal and have seen smaller increases. AI, Data Centers, Pipelines, and Energy Reality Steve argues that green-energy policies are running into the reality of rising electricity demand, especially from artificial intelligence and data centers built by companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon. He says AI-related electricity demand requires constant 24-hour power and cannot be reliably supported by wind and solar alone. Karen and Steve also discuss the Keystone pipeline, New York pipeline politics, natural gas constraints in New England, offshore wind leverage, and the role of Trump administration energy policy. Steve closes by directing listeners to his book Green Breakdown and website. Closing the New Chapter of the Alan Nathan All-Stars Karen ends the show by saying the Alan Nathan All-Stars are heading into a new chapter, but with Alan Nathan still serving as the program's guiding star. The episode as a whole blends remembrance of Alan with Karen's political and cultural commentary, moving through immigration enforcement, Western civilization, psychiatric drugs, gender ideology, energy policy, and the future of American public debate.

We're over a year into a new government and nobody could possibly argue there hasn't been a significant recalibration in the way Canada thinks about climate policy and environmental regulation.The public policy balance between the environment, pipelines, and project-building has shifted from what it was, say, back in 2018. So has the public's perception, by the way. Recent polling shows that Canadians now prioritize economic growth over environmental protection. All of this is what we'll explore today. From multiple angles. In 3 different individual conversations.First up ... Aaron Wherry, senior writer at the CBC ... to set the table on the issues between Ottawa and Alberta.Then … Rick Smith, President of the Canadian Climate Institute, for his perspective. We talk about emissions reduction, what's happening to the industrial carbon price, the clean energy economy and more.Finally … Andrew Leach, energy and environmental economist and professor at the University of Alberta, to explore the energy sector, particularly oil. The economic impact vs. opportunity cost of pipelines, and the tension between market forces and climate policy. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

A giveaway funnel pulling 100+ emails a week. 300 to 500 comments a post on X. Newsletter readers. Ad clickers who never book. Five different lists, none of them talking to each other. A great setter could go to work on that data and print money — if anyone had organized it.So Jordan brought in Dylan Rich, founder of Systemized Sales. Dylan runs 10 sales teams at once, end to end — name, email, phone number all the way to contract signed and cash collected. In 15 years of sales and seven years working with agencies, this is the most sophisticated GoHighLevel pipeline either of them has seen. They build it live: UTM attribution per post, the "tattoo" rule for tags vs. custom fields, an action-based lead score that pings a setter the second a lead crosses 6 points, a speed-to-lead workflow with 73 million enrollments, and 57 smart lists ranked P1 through P5 so setters never waste a minute guessing who to call.Then Dylan opens up Revphlow — the post-call attribution tool that kills the EOD form forever and tells you your cash per call by traffic source, by closer, by calendar.

There's a growing tension inside healthcare right now—between the people leaving the workforce and the patients still arriving every day. It's a dynamic that leaders can no longer afford to ignore. The numbers make that clear: the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that the U.S. could be short of as many as 86,000 physicians by 2036, fueled by an aging population and a wave of retirements.So, how do healthcare organizations compete for talent at a time when the workforce is shrinking, expectations are shifting, and technology is rapidly changing how care is delivered?On this episode of I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson sits down with River Meisinger, Regional Vice President of MSP & Strategic Accounts at AMN Healthcare, to unpack the evolving landscape of healthcare recruitment. Together, they explore how systems can build sustainable pipelines for executives, physicians, and the next generation of leaders.Top insights from the talk…Workforce shortages are structural, not temporary, driven by burnout, aging clinicians, and insufficient talent pipelines.AI and data are reshaping workforce planning, but success depends on pairing technology with a human-centered strategy.Gen Z is redefining career expectations, forcing healthcare leaders to rethink mentorship, growth pathways, and workplace culture.River Meisinger is a senior healthcare executive at AMN Healthcare, specializing in enterprise workforce solutions, strategic partnerships, and talent optimization across physician, leadership, and clinical staffing.

The global supply chain supporting U.S. military operations faces persistent cyber threats from adversaries targeting both government systems and the broader industrial base. Speaking at the CyberScape Federal Cybersecurity Summit in April, Defense Logistics Agency CIO Adarryl Roberts said the agency is prioritizing efforts to secure small suppliers while protecting AI-driven decision pipelines. Roberts said DLA's first line of defense in managing third-party risk remains contractual enforcement. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) enables the agency to require prime contractors to ensure subcontractors meet federal cybersecurity standards, he added. As DLA expands its use of artificial intelligence for logistics planning and operational decision-making, securing the data pipelines that feed those models has become a top priority. Roberts pointed to multifactor authentication and the War Department's zero-trust architecture as foundational, enabling DLA to inherit cloud-native protections while layering on departmentwide cybersecurity policies.

The United States is celebrating roughly a decade of transforming the shale revolution into a global LNG export powerhouse. But as geopolitical tensions rise and electricity demand surges from AI and data centers, new questions are emerging about America's long-term energy strategy.In this new Energy Vista episode, Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with former Congressman Charles Boustany to discuss the extraordinary transformation of Louisiana and the United States into a dominant force in global energy markets.The conversation explores how the US became a net exporter of oil and gas, whether America's energy abundance strengthens its geopolitical leverage, and how policymakers should think about energy planning in an era of growing power demand, industrial competition, and global instability.The conversation also explores the importance of historical perspective in energy and geopolitics. Charles reflects on his long-standing passion for history and his decision to pursue a PhD in the field.This is an insightful exchange at the intersection of energy, industrial policy, geopolitics, and American competitiveness.

In Season 5, Episode 17 of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, we discuss why every growing pest control company needs a properly managed CRM, sales pipeline, and marketing automation system. The episode focuses on how platforms like HighLevel can help pest control companies track leads, automate follow-up, measure marketing performance, and create better accountability across the team.We also talk about one of the biggest challenges with CRMs: getting employees to use the pipeline correctly every day. Bad data leads to bad reports, and bad reports lead to poor marketing decisions. The old saying applies perfectly here: garbage in equals garbage out.If your pest control company is investing in Google Ads, Local Services Ads, SEO, call tracking, AI receptionists, SMS/email follow-up, or outbound sales, then accurate CRM usage is essential. You cannot manage what you do not measure, and you cannot measure what your team does not properly track.This episode is a reminder that your CRM should not just be another software tool. It should become the central system for managing leads, measuring growth, improving follow-up, and making smarter decisions about your marketing dollars.Rhino Pest Control MarketingEmail: casey@rhinopros.comPhone: (925) 464-8383Website: https://rhinopros.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RhinoPestControlMarketingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketingContact & Find Us

13. Michael Bernstam explains why the Strait of Hormuz blockade has not caused an oil price spike, citing diverted pipelines in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. He notes China's impending shortfall due to the blockade.

For years, growth has been built around a simple idea. Drive traffic into a funnel, move people through stages, convert, repeat. But that model was built for a different time. A time when brands controlled information and buyers followed predictable paths. That is no longer the reality. Today, people explore, pause, research, ask communities, trust creators, and make decisions on their own terms. They don't move in straight lines. They move in networks. That shift is exactly why funnels and pipelines are no longer enough on their own. In this episode, we break down what changed, where traditional models still work, and where they fall short. More importantly, we introduce a new way to think about growth through Conscious Growth Pathways™. Instead of forcing people through linear systems, this approach focuses on building environments, ecosystems, and connections that people naturally move through. It's about awareness, trust, culture, and community driving momentum. We also unpack a six-phase growth cycle that helps identify where your growth is actually breaking and how to fix it, from investigation and initiation to innovation and introspection. If your marketing feels heavy, inconsistent, or stuck, this will reframe how you think about growth and what it actually takes to win today.

Our Global Commodities Strategist Martijn Rats discusses how the Strait of Hormuz shutdown has created a deep air pocket that will likely keep markets tighter and prices higher for longer than many expect.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Martijn Rats, Morgan Stanley's Global Commodities Strategist. Today – an update on the global impact on the Strait of Hormuz shutdown.It's Tuesday, March 24th, at 3pm in London.More than three weeks into the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz disruptions, the numbers are striking. Normally, around 35 oil tankers leave the Gulf each day. Today, that number is closer to zero to two. That amounts to a shock. In fact, we estimate this event has disrupted roughly 20 percent of global oil supply – double the scale of the Suez crisis in the 1950s. Now, you might think: can't the system adapt? Can't oil just flow another way? At first, oil kept moving by being stored on ships already inside the Gulf. But that buffer is now full. Floating storage has surged in the area to over 120 million barrels, and new loadings have effectively stopped. Once storage is filled, producers have no choice but to cut output – and that's exactly what we're seeing. About 10 million barrels per day of upstream oil and gas production is now offline. Now once we reach this point, the Hormuz closure becomes a real supply loss. There are some partial workarounds. Pipelines that bypass the Strait. Strategic reserve releases. Possibly, naval escorts at some point to help ships move along. But unfortunately, none of these fully solve the problem. Even after accounting for all these offsets, the market still faces a shortfall of around 10 to 12 million barrels per day. Now, that is more than three times the supply shock markets feared in 2022, when Brent oil prices surged to around $130 a barrel. And beyond crude oil, the supply strain is showing up even more in refined products. Now, how so? By comparison, crude oil is still flexible. One barrel can sometimes be substituted with another. But refined products – like jet fuel or petrochemical feedstocks – are much more specific. They're harder to replace quickly. And we're already seeing acute shortages. Europe relies on imports for about 37 percent of its jet fuel needs, and those flows have now declined sharply. Middle East exports of naphtha, a key input for plastics and chemicals to destinations in Asia, have fallen from about 1.2 million barrels per day to almost zero. And in shipping hubs like Singapore, marine fuel prices have surged dramatically, with some fuels exceeding $250 per barrel. Once fuel shortages hit logistics, the disruption spreads beyond energy to affect the movement of goods across the economy. So where does this leave us? We envision two broad scenarios. First, a reopening. Even if the Strait reopens relatively quickly, say within one to two weeks, the system doesn't just snap back. There's what we call an air pocket in the system – a gap created by delayed shipments, empty inventories, and disrupted supply chains. In that case, oil prices are still likely to stay elevated throughout the second and third quarters, rather than quickly returning to pre-crisis levels which were about $70 per barrel at the time. A second scenario would be a prolonged closure. If the disruption continues, the market shifts from substitution to rationing. And rationing means demand has to fall. Historically, that only happens at much higher prices – typically in the range of $130 to $150 per barrel. Now given all this, we've revised our base case forecasts higher. We now expect Brent oil prices to average around $110 per barrel in the second quarter, easing only slightly to $90 in the third and $80 by the fourth quarter. But it's key to realize that reopening the Strait is not the same as repairing the system. This supply chain shock to the oil market will take time to unwind.Thanks for listening.
