Although geographically distant from Chinese shores, Latin America and the Caribbean occupy an important place in Chinese foreign policy. In the past decade, China has significantly expanded its influence in the region. The main vector of Chinese involvement has been economic, including securing access to commodities such as soybeans, copper, oil, and lithium, creating markets for Chinese companies, and deepening financial ties through trade, lending, and infrastructure investment. On December 10, China released a new white paper on its relationship with Latin America and the Caribbean, the third such document following earlier editions in 2008 and 2016. The White Paper characterizes the region as “an essential force in the process toward a multipolar world and economic globalization.” Its release came on the heels of the Trump Administration's release of its National Security Strategy, which places unprecedented emphasis on the Western Hemisphere and asserts that the US seeks a region “free of hostile foreign incursion or ownership of key assets,” highlighting the growing strategic salience of Latin America and the Caribbean in US-China competition. To discuss the new White Paper and the implications of China's policies in the LAC for the United States and US-China relations, we are joined by Dr. Evan Ellis. Dr. Ellis is a research professor of Latin American studies at the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute. He previously served on the Secretary of State's policy planning staff with responsibility for Latin America and the Caribbean as well as international narcotics and law enforcement issues.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:07] US and China on a Collision Course?

On today's podcast:1) Covid-era subsidies that help Americans pay for Obamacare health plans will expire today. It will result in more than 20 million Americans paying higher premiums next month. Democrats have tried to extend the additional support beyond the December deadline, but Republicans have balked, citing the cost of some $350 billion over the next decade. Meantime, a handful of House Republicans have joined Democrats in a maneuver that will put a three-year extension of the subsidies to a vote next month. 2) Russia and Ukraine struck each other’s Black Sea ports overnight, damaging infrastructure including an oil refinery. A drone attack on the Russian coastal city of Tuapse damaged a berth at the port and equipment at the local refinery, according to a statement from the emergency services. Fires at both sites were put out, while several residential buildings were also damaged. Two people were hospitalized. The Tuapse refinery, owned by Rosneft PJSC, has a processing capacity of about 240,000 barrels a day and produces mainly fuel oil, naphtha and diesel for export. In Ukraine, Russian forces struck the port city of Odesa, injuring at least six people and damaging residential properties and infrastructure, according to the local authorities. Some residents are without power, water and heating.3) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran should heed President Trump Warning's about not restarting its nuclear program. Speaking Tuesday to Fox News, he added that Iran is 'trying to' rebuild its missile capacity at new sites, and said he is aligned with Trump on wanting to give the new Syrian government a chance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aujourd'hui, nous nous penchons sur le genre de connaissance idéale pour briller lors des repas de famille en cette fin d'année, surtout quand l'oncle Gérard se plaindra que son transfert de photos de vacances prend des plombes, ou que sa souris sans fil fonctionne mal.La solution se trouve peut-être juste sous vos yeux, dans une simple touche de couleur.Car oui, les couleurs de vos ports USB ne sont pas là pour faire joli. Elles constituent un code secret standardisé qu'il est urgent de déchiffrer.La vitesse = la couleurCommençons par le constat de base. On a souvent l'impression que l'USB est une connectique universelle et interchangeable. C'est vrai pour la forme, mais absolument faux pour la performance.Si vous avez déjà remarqué qu'un périphérique réagissait mieux sur la prise de gauche que sur celle de droite, ce n'est pas une hallucination.Leur architecture interne peut varier du tout au tout en matière de débit de données et de fourniture d'énergie. C'est là que le code couleur entre en jeu pour vous guider instantanément, sans avoir à fouiller dans le manuel technique.Analysons maintenant ce code couleur pour comprendre ce qu'il cache.Analyse des anciens standardsTout commence avec les anciens standards.Si vous voyez un port blanc, c'est de l'USB 1, l'ancêtre, limité à 12 mégabits par seconde.S'il est noir, c'est de l'USB 2.0, très courant pour les claviers et souris, avec un débit de 480 mégabits. C'est suffisant pour de la bureautique, mais c'est là qu'il ne faut surtout pas brancher votre disque dur externe si vous êtes pressé.Pour la vitesse, cherchez le bleu. Cette couleur signale l'arrivée de l'USB 3.0 et du "SuperSpeed". Ici, on change de dimension avec un débit qui grimpe à 5 Gigabits par seconde, soit plus de dix fois la vitesse du port noir.Si le port est turquoise, c'est encore mieux; c'est de l'USB 3.1 à 10 Gigabits.Enfin, le Graal pour les transferts lourds, c'est le port rouge. Il indique souvent de l'USB 3.2, capable d'atteindre jusqu'à 20 Gigabits par seconde.Mais l'astuce qui vous fera passer pour un expert auprès de vos proches concerne l'énergie.Rouge ou orange ? Toujours actif !Avez-vous déjà vu des ports jaunes ou oranges ? Ces ports ont une particularité géniale. Ils sont "toujours actifs". Concrètement, cela signifie qu'ils peuvent recharger un smartphone même si l'ordinateur est éteint.C'est le port de secours idéal en déplacement.En résumé, ne branchez plus vos périphériques au hasard. Un disque SSD sur un port noir, c'est une perte de temps, et un téléphone sur un port jaune, c'est l'assurance d'une batterie pleine.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

This week, our hosts Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of the T-Minus Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with another chicken update for everyone. Dave's got the story of a Monotype font-licensing shakedown that totally backfired — automated claims, mass messages, and scary warnings that all unraveled when a typography-savvy employee proved every allegation was wrong, leaving Monotype empty-handed. Joe's story is on a massive Walmart robocall scam targeting millions of customers. Fake calls, using AI voices claiming a pricey PlayStation 5 order, tricked people into giving personal info. The FCC is cracking down on SK Teleco, the U.S. voice provider behind the calls, threatening to cut them off from U.S. networks if they don't act fast to stop the scam. Maria has the story on TSA warnings for travelers: avoid plugging phones into public USB ports and skip unsecured airport Wi-Fi. Hackers can sneak malware through USBs or intercept data over open networks, so TSA and the FCC recommend using portable chargers, charging-only cables, or a VPN to stay safe while traveling. Our catch of the day comes from a Microsoft looking email which says the user has been flagged.

The ocean is unpredictable, but smarter digital routing is transforming how ships navigate it to ensure safety of passengers, crew and cargo. From real-time weather insights to automated voyage optimization, routing services are evolving to help vessels save fuel, reduce emissions, and improve safety at sea. And as progress accelerates, we’re asking the big question: What technologies will shape the future of ocean routing? In this season’s finale, Michel Greavette and Mark Streuper from ABB’s Routing Solutions and Services in Marine & Ports division join Fran to explore how data and automation are reshaping navigation today, and what’s coming next.

Ports face costly risks from abandoned or uninsured ships. If a ship sinks and the owner or insurance cannot cover costs, ports must manage the wreck to prevent pollution, clear channels, and ensure business continuity. Ports should review procedures for arriving ships and their insurance.

So the Ports of Auckland boss Roger Gray is onto something, isn't he? Because we are a country that loves to say no. He said in a speech to a crowd at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in Auckland that he went to Miami to speak to four major cruise liners to find out why the cruise ships aren't coming here as much as they used to. And he apparently says that they call us 'No Zealand' because we just say no to everything. Is he wrong? I mean, look at the news that's been around just for the last couple of days, right? Santana wants to dig $7 billion worth of gold out of the ground near Cromwell. The locals say no. Eric Stanford wants to change the curriculum so our kids can actually get a decent international education and have a future ahead of them. The unions say no. Chris Bishop wants to scrap regional councils because they just waste everyone's time and money and say no to things, and the perpetually concerned looked at that and said no. We say no so much that the Government has created the fast-track approvals process to basically bulldoze through all the 'no's' they know are gonna come. Some of it is the rules that we've created for ourselves, right? Because the RMA is just one giant no factory. But some of it, I think, is actually cultural. We have a great life here in New Zealand, even if you're rich or poor, whatever your circumstances, you can enjoy your life in New Zealand. Temperatures aren't too extreme, there aren't creatures trying to kill you all the time like in Australia, foreign enemies aren't trying to kill us all the time like places in Europe, and we don't actually really have to struggle too much to get by. So we can cruise, and so we do cruise. So we just don't try. We just say no, we just don't want to change that much. On the bright side, I think this attitude is changing at the minute. I mean, I hate to make things about politics all the time and look to politicians for help, but I think it is because we have some brave political leaders at the moment who are prepared to ruffle some feathers. The mayor of Auckland who was just getting on with changing the port and making money for the city, and the RMA minister Chris Bishop who's scrapping the regional councils, which is a massive thing to do. And everyone's crush, Erica Stanford, who's completely overhauling education despite the educators saying no to her. So when we have to say yes, when the going gets tough like it is right now, I think that we can say yes. My hope is, though, that we get stuck in the yes setting and we stay here and break the habit of the constant no setting. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marine cargo ports serve as the conduits connecting global and regional economies, and their ability to run efficiently can be felt near and far. In this Talking Transports podcast, American Association of Port Authorities’ (AAPA) Vice President of Government Relations John Bressler, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to unpack the policies shaping US seaports and what his trade organization is doing to push for more federal infrastructure funding. Bressler also discusses rail consolidation, shipbuilding incentives, tariffs and automation, stressing balance between efficiency, labor and security. With ports investing in decarbonization, dredging and digitalization, he says smarter infrastructure and collaboration will keep America’s maritime network competitive and resilient.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this two-parter of an intro episode, we're peeling the skin off the Fake Net, buying children a $212 videogame, charging more money for more megabits, realizing the Mega Drive was online in 1990, de-making to the NES, creating a million ports, overthinking world details, not just plagiarizing Dragon Quest, building love and friendship around the stars, making something no one else was making, loving Star Wars, having snacks with the staff, and wondering if we believe game localization's most powerful ego weirdo.

Send us a textThe gangway drops, the music hits, and we kick off a cruise-driven, faith-forward journey from Port Canaveral with one goal: make your time at sea effortless, joyful, and unforgettable. We introduce our duo—Captain Jesse and the Cruise Coach—and dive right into how to choose the best Florida homeport, from Miami's buzz to Tampa Bay's Skyway views, and why that first decision shapes your itinerary, budget, and onboard rhythm.We unpack the big Caribbean question—East, West, or South—and explain what each route delivers, from Cozumel tacos and Cayman reefs to longer Southern escapes like Aruba. Then we zoom in on the ships themselves: Utopia, Icon, and Star of the Seas redefine “floating city” with aqua theaters, two-tier promenades, solariums, and spa sanctuaries that rival land resorts. You'll hear smart, actionable tips: Boardwalk and Central Park balcony hacks on Oasis-class ships, the best ways to catch the AquaTheater (including from your own balcony), and complimentary breakfast windows that most guests miss.Competition is reshaping the industry for the better. We talk MSC's rise, why dry docks matter, and how more than fifty new ships on order will push design, dining, and entertainment forward. Private islands are leveling up too—think Perfect Day at CocoCay and Carnival's Celebration Key—making short sailings feel like full-on resort getaways. If you're a first-timer, we demystify gratuities, inclusions, and what “turn off your brain” truly means once you step aboard.Most of all, we're building community. Join our hosted group cruises to get concierge-style planning: curated excursions, dining guidance, show reservations, and flexible tracks for families, foodies, and adventurers. Link two ports in one vacation with Brightline rail, or bookend your sailing with Cocoa Beach sunsets and Orlando theme parks. We keep it service-first and faith-centered, closing with a prayer for safe voyages and lighter hearts.Subscribe, share with your cruise-curious friends, and tell us where you want to sail next. Your next great story might be waiting just beyond the pier—come aboard and let's chart it together.Support the showFollow us on Instagram @spacecoastpodcastSponsor this show Want to watch our shows? https://youtube.com/@spacecoastpodcast

Founder Arturo Lewin unpacks the drayage grind behind U.S. imports—how Alliance Worldwide Logistics Corp grew from a two-truck hustle into a reliable intermodal carrier by obsessing over turn times, chassis and free-time clocks.
