At the height of the U.S. war with Iran, NATO allies declined to allow the U.S. to use air bases within their territory to launch attacks on Iran, they refused to let U.S. bombers overfly their territory, and they refused to commit their forces to helping the U.S. patrol the beleaguered Strait of Hormuz. In response, President Trump said he was considering withdrawing the United States from the 75-year-old defense alliance – something he has been talking about for years. Monday on the "Sound of Ideas," we bring you another installment of the series "Talking Foreign Policy," which is produced in conjunction with Case Western Reserve University. In this episode, a panel of experts discusses the role NATO currently plays as a global defense alliance, as conflicts continue in Iran as well as between Russia and Ukraine.

Piero Formica"Intelligenza umana e intelligenza artificiale"Un'esposizione nella Galleria della MenteEdizioni Pendragonwww.pendragon.itQuesto libro è un compendio di storia, scienze sociali, filosofia e osservazione dello sviluppo e del comportamento umani, in grado di stimolare una profonda riflessione sulle nostre interazioni con la tecnologia e le macchine. L'intelligenza umana è un fenomeno naturale, è generale e creativa. L'intelligenza artificiale è una tecnologia progettata per svolgere compiti specifici: spetta a noi decidere come rapportarci a essa. All'intelligenza artificiale dobbiamo accoppiare una forma di intelligenza umana potenziata, creativa, in modo da non rischiare di incorrere nuovamente nella schiavitù delle macchine, come successe in parte già ai tempi della Rivoluzione industriale. In queste pagine Piero Formica riporta prepotentemente alla superficie la forza e l'autonomia del pensiero umano, capace di vedere al di là della siepe “che da tanta parte dell'ultimo orizzonte il guardo esclude”, descritta da Giacomo Leopardi nella sua poesia L'infinito. E tutti noi dobbiamo far sì che l'IA non sia la siepe, l'impedimento che estromette l'uomo dal pensare, dallo spaziare con la fantasia.Piero Formica, professore di Economia della Conoscenza, è Senior Research Fellow e Thought Leader dell'Innovation Value Institute della Maynooth University, Irlanda. Ha ricevuto l'Innovation Luminary Award 2017 dall'Open Innovation Science and Policy Group sotto l'egida dell'Unione Europea per il suo contributo alla moderna politica dell'innovazione e il premio Magister Peloritanus 2023 per l'Innovazione e l'Imprenditorialità dall'Accademia Peloritana dei Percolanti dell'Università di Messina.

Welcome to Game Changers with Jeff Newkirk, where we speak with people who have done something to make this world a better place. It's simple: inspire, educate, and let's go change this world! On today's episode, Jeff continues his conversation with guest Mr. Darrell Guthrie. Mr. Guthrie is a retired U.S. Army Major General and is now a Senior Peace Fellow with the Public International Law and Policy Group. He is also an attorney and co-founder of the Advanced Dynamic Defense Directorate, a national security think tank and business incubator. He is a proud father of four and grandfather of six.  Today, Mr. Guthrie shares about leadership philosophy. To begin, he outlines the 5 key points of his leadership philosophy: be optimistic and proactive, address challenges at the lowest level possible, take administrative and logistic functions seriously, be willing to think and look at things differently, and be okay with imperfection.  The greatest reward as a leader, he and Jeff agree, is to see those you are responsible for move on and up in their careers. The power of thanking people who have done a job well should never be underestimated. Having a well-rounded perspective often leads to making better decisions overall. Mr. Guthrie's favorite point is recognizing that he is not perfect, and neither are other people. Humility is key to being a strong and effective leader. He also explains the difference between chasing perfection vs. chasing excellence.  These 5 points for leadership began to take shape in Mr. Guthrie's mind as he continued to gain more and more experience in leadership. As a lieutenant, which he claims he wasn't great at, he was able to step outside of himself and find his strengths and weaknesses.  The Army is a great place for developing leadership skills because it introduces you to so many different roles and challenges. An important lesson Mr. Guthrie learned in the military is the importance of letting other people do their jobs on their own. If it's not up to standard, then you may have a conversation with them about how they may do better. As a commander, he actively maintained a calm and focused persona who was ready to help soldiers work through problems. But he wasn't always perfect, and shares about the time he let go of his ego and apologized for his previous words and actions. Today, it's rare to see leaders and politicians publicly apologize, because apologizing is often equated with weakness. However, there is a huge difference between being weak and being humble.  Then, Mr. Guthrie shares his view that many corporations and the military are still following these 5 points, though their demands and expectations continue to evolve. He would like to see business leaders and CEOs embrace humility by making profits and benefits more equal for their employees. Treating people nicely and being positive and proactive about the future is the best way to bring up the organization and the people around you. Before cloning out, he discusses the differences between being proactive vs. reactive, especially in leadership roles. Interacting with other people from a place of humility and sincerity goes a very, very long way. Learn more about Jeff Newkirk. Do you have any game-changers in your life?

Welcome to Game Changers with Jeff Newkirk, where we speak with people who have done something to make this world a better place. It's simple: inspire, educate, and let's go change this world!  On today's episode, Jeff welcomes guest Mr. Darrell Guthrie to discuss national security. Mr. Guthrie is a retired U.S. Army Major General and a Senior Peace Fellow with the Public International Law and Policy Group. He is also an attorney and co-founder of the Advanced Dynamic Defense Directorate, a national security think tank and business incubator. He is a proud father of four and grandfather of six.  To begin, Mr. Guthrie shares that he received an ROTC scholarship during the Raegan buildup in the mid-80s. His first deployment was to the first Gulf War. After nine and a half years in active duty, he served 28 years as Commander in the Army Reserve. He explains that being in the military is a lesson on how to be a good leader. Oftentimes, people will follow the movement and actions of a quality leader without even having to hear their commands. After finishing his time on active duty, Darrell decided he wanted to get a law degree.  Then, the conversation shifts to discussing national security and how Darrell found success with his startup. He gives the U.S. a "C" grade for its national security. This grade is made up of several components, including our safety from external threats as Americans. The last significant security threat the U.S. experienced was on 9/11. While we have been safe from threats of this magnitude since then, other factors have not been as positive.  The Army, Navy, and Air Force are facing crisis-level challenges in recruiting enough young people to join. The way to address this problem is by communicating an optimistic method about why it's important to serve our nation. Darrell also explains that our military is not paying significant attention to terrorist groups in Africa, the impact of the cartels in Mexico, and the gangs in Central and South America. Although the world still follows the United States as a world leader, that perspective is becoming more unstable. We must work together to set a positive example and strengthen the reputation of the United States in the eyes of the world. This could be as simple as an American company conducting good business in a foreign country, a soldier who behaves properly in a foreign city, or not letting bad players get away with evil actions. Since the U.S. is a superpower, we must be sure that we are doing this responsibly.   Before wrapping up, Darrell discusses the U.S.'s decision to leave Afghanistan and the problems at the Mexican border, both of which set poor examples of America. The key to restoring our reputation is through quality leadership and keeping our word.Learn more about Jeff Newkirk. Do you have any game-changers in your life?

A train was speeding along the tracks in 19th-century England when a passenger suddenly started smashing windows and waving a pistol in the air. People believed his actions were caused by what was, at the time, a new and unfamiliar form of transportation. Doctors posited the rattling motion and noise of trains could cause passengers to act erratically, creating the short-lived but popular myth of "railway madness."In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at how people often overreact to poor quality or incomplete information.A sudden explosion in 1889 ripped apart the USS Maine, the United States' largest warship at the time. The ship sank, killing more than half of the sailors on board. The Maine had been anchored in Cuba, and despite having little proof, the American public immediately blamed the Spanish for the sinking. Newspaper editors published headlines such as "Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!" Nearly a hundred years later, an underwater investigation would reveal what likely caused the explosion.Historian David Silbey recounts how public pressure from this tragedy pushed the United States to make a decision that would have lasting consequences for the world. David Silbey is a military historian and adjuncta professor and director of teaching and learning at Cornell University. He is also the author of A War of Frontier and Empire: The Philippine-American War, 1899-1902. His new book is called Wars Civil and Great: The American Experience in the Civil War and World War I. Next, Katy speaks with Ned Augenblick about his research that shows people's tendency to overreact to weakly supported information and underreact to strongly supported information. You can read more in the paper he co-authored with Eben Lazarus and Michael Thaler, called "Overinference from Weak Signals and Underinference from Strong Signals." Ned Augenblick is a professor in the Economic Analysis and Policy Group at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab. If you enjoy the show, please leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts.Important DisclosuresThe comments, views, and opinions expressed in the presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of Charles Schwab.​Data contained herein from third party providers is obtained from what are considered reliable source.

Could we all be underestimating the dangers of passive vaping? To discuss with Pat was Professor Des Cox Chair of the Policy Group on Tobacco at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.

My thesis:"Teaching Hospital and Healthcare personnel the skills and principles of All-Hazards Incident Management pay more positive dividends and develops more well-rounded response skills than teaching the same people how to follow the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) structures."So, I believe using the standard ICS is more holistic and beneficial than using HICS.Episode takeaways:Choose the most qualified for ICS positions, not the highest rankingLet the situation dictate what's needed in Operations, not the preset HICS structureUse ICS for planned events and unplanned incidentsPractice with internal and external partners, oftenCreate a Policy Group that complements the core ICS org structureRemember...Have a planStay informedGet involved

Spenser Villwock talks with expert construction economist at Sage Policy Group Chairman & CEO, Arniban Basu. They discuss the current impacts of the Coronavirus, COVID-19, on the economy, paying particular attention to how electrical and systems contractors in America can best act in the current time. Basu notes as a “short and vicious” V-shaped market reaction and steep recovery that is something unlike what we have experienced in recent time. The current economic disruption is due to a Supply Shock of the market, versus a Demand Shock, as it was in the Great Recession. The message that Basu shares is one of hope, optimism, yet a strong thread of realism of the current time and how contractors may not only survive, but thrive coming out of the COVID-19 period. Listen in to the podcast and gain terrific insights on something that will be written about in history books forevermore. #MeritShopStrong #WeAreIEC
