If you've ever felt like your story was erased, rewritten, or left out of the record, this conversation will remind you of your power to be seen and remembered. My guest Dominique Luster, founder of The Luster Company, shares her journey from a small-town theater student in Kentucky to becoming one of the few Black women archivists protecting culture, lineage, and legacy. What started as a job in the library became a calling that led her to preserve the voices and stories of families, communities, and women around the world. Dominique shows us that archiving is not just about old papers. It is about the recipes, the family stories, the sound of your grandmother's laughter in the kitchen. She reminds us that the cloud does not mean ownership and that women entrepreneurs must protect their creations and their intellectual property. Most of all, she shows us that history always favors the one who wrote it down.
At the Rangeland Trust, conserving California's working landscapes means more than protecting open space—it also means preserving the stories of the people who steward them. Ranching families carry generations of knowledge, resilience, and tradition, and if those stories aren't shared, they risk being lost.In this episode, we highlight Roots and Resilience: California Ranchers in Their Own Words, a book that brings together the voices of ranching families from across the state through stories, poems, and essays.

Suchitra Vijayan speaks with Sabhanaz Rashid Diya, Sams Wahid Shahat, Mohammad Arafat and Apon Das of the Tech Global Institute. They unpack the aftermath of Bangladesh's July 2024 uprising, which ended the Awami League's 16-year rule but left behind a trail of unacknowledged deaths, disappearances, and state-sponsored impunity. Drawing on the landmark report Bloodshed in Bangladesh, the conversation reveals how digital forensics, open-source investigation, and survivor testimony challenge the state's attempts at erasure. The discussion traces how the team worked under conditions of internet shutdowns and media blackouts to archive atrocity evidence in real time. They explain how metadata, satellite imagery, and video analysis reconstructed the final hours of massacres such as the killing of 20-year-old Mohammad Ridoi, whose disappearance still haunts his family. Archiving is a political act that confronts Bangladesh's machinery of impunity and keeps memory alive against official narratives. They also explore the disinformation ecosystem that accompanied the killings: pro-government propaganda campaigns on Facebook, deliberate framing of student protesters as violent extremists, and a systematic effort to discredit the uprising. Against this, informal networks of communities mobilised to counter state lies. Key Takeaways - Digital forensics as resistance: Satellite imagery, metadata, and video archives countered state denial and reconstructed events minute by minute. - Archiving as a political act: Preserving testimonies and evidence challenges the state's monopoly over history and builds collective memory. - Disinformation as state strategy: Paid social media campaigns framed protesters as extremists. - Justice and accountability: Beyond trials, justice means refusing erasure, ensuring victims' sacrifices become part of Bangladesh's democratic legacy. Sabhanaz Rashid Diya is the executive director of Tech Global Institute. She's a computational social scientist with over 16 years of experience in technology, public policy, and ethics. Sams Wahid Shahat is a dedicated researcher in the fields of media and information management and fact-checking. Shekh Mohammad Arafat has been a fact-checker since 2022. Throughout this period, he has developed interests in media and information literacy, fact-checking training, and disinformation research Apon Das is an experienced media and information researcher and fact-checker. He has written books on introducing fact-checking as a media literacy intervention for majority world communities.

What makes a community's stories worth preserving? Rick Thompson believes the answer lies in the rich tapestry of western heritage that defines North Dakota—a legacy he's dedicated his career to protecting as Executive Director of the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame.Thompson's journey from Bowman, North Dakota to his current role spans decades of deep connection to rodeo and western culture. With an animal science degree and 25 years producing a nationally syndicated rodeo program, he brings authentic passion to the Hall of Fame's mission. When asked why this work matters, Thompson's answer cuts to the heart: "If we don't tell our story, what's that story going to sound like?"The conversation reveals how the Hall of Fame functions as far more than a museum. Beyond its impressive exhibits honoring legendary cowboys, ranchers, and rodeo champions, the facility hosts land auctions, receptions, and community gatherings. Perhaps most remarkably, Thompson and his staff of seven don't wait for visitors to come to them—they travel extensively throughout North Dakota and beyond, sacrificing countless weekends to connect with communities and members who've relocated to warmer climates.This dedication speaks to a deeper truth about preserving heritage: it requires going to where people are, meeting them in their own communities, and creating opportunities for stories to be shared. The Hall's ambitious expansion plans—adding 10,000 square feet with technology-focused areas for younger visitors—demonstrates their commitment to evolving while honoring tradition.As Thompson explains, the urgency of their mission grows daily: "We lose those people every day. We lose a piece of that history when somebody leaves us." From the sod houses of early settlers to today's multi-generational ranches, these stories create an unbroken chain connecting past and future. Through creative fundraising (including auctioning a donated motorhome that attracted bidders nationwide) and a network of over 300 trustees who nominate Hall of Fame inductees, the organization continues finding innovative ways to capture these narratives before they're lost forever.Want to be part of preserving North Dakota's western heritage? Visit the Hall of Fame in Medora, attend an event, or consider supporting their expansion project through membership or donation. Every contribution helps ensure these powerful stories will inspire generations to come.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

When people think collapse, they picture mushroom clouds, zombies, or Mad Max chaos. But the more likely scenario isn't overnight anarchy — it's a slow collapse. Prices keep creeping up, jobs get shaky, and shelves don't always look as full as they used to. That's Depression 2.0. And in that kind of world, the skill that matters most is putting food on your own table.

We discuss the significance of patient positioning, the careful balancing of resuscitation efforts, and the pivotal role of Roll 3 hospitals with their advanced CT scanning capabilities. The episode also shines a light on the logistical aspects of performing complex procedures like spine surgeries and managing traumatic vasospasm in military environments. Dr. Morton touches on the challenges of treating severe injuries in combat zones and the thoughtful considerations involved in using endovascular techniques for managing carotid injuries. Join us for an episode packed with expert insights and real-world solutions for the unique challenges faced in military medical care. Chapters: (00:02) Combat Neurosurgery (11:14) Surgical Techniques in Trauma Response (17:18) Combat Medical Care and Consultation Chapter Summaries: (00:02) Combat Neurosurgery Managing head trauma in combat zones requires vigilance against hypoxia and hypotension, with measures such as blood pressure monitoring and oxygen therapy. (11:14) Surgical Techniques in Trauma Response Maintaining brain health in trauma management through proper positioning, blood coagulation, and advanced capabilities of Roll 3 hospitals. (17:18) Combat Medical Care and Consultation Logistics of spine fusions, protocols for head trauma, challenges of treating vasospasm, and endovascular techniques for carotid injuries. Take Home Messages: Combat neurosurgery requires a proactive approach to managing head trauma on the battlefield, emphasizing the prevention of hypoxia and hypotension. Despite the lack of advanced imaging capabilities, military medical teams can effectively monitor and manage intracranial pressure through vigilant use of arterial blood pressure monitoring and oxygen therapy. Patient positioning, such as using the reverse Trendelenburg position, plays a crucial role in reducing intracranial pressure in trauma cases. Maintaining proper blood coagulation and sodium levels is essential to avoid complications, and the advanced capabilities of Roll 3 hospitals, like CT scanning, are vital for determining the appropriate neurosurgical interventions. While immediate spine surgeries may be necessary in combat zones, complex procedures are often preferred to be performed in more sterile environments such as Landstuhl, Walter Reed, or BAMC. These facilities provide the necessary resources and expertise to manage severe injuries and offer comprehensive care. The use of seizure prophylaxis, such as Keppra or Dilantin, should be carefully considered in cases of suspected head trauma. However, it is typically not an immediate priority unless the patient is actively seizing. If a severe traumatic brain injury is confirmed, seizure prophylaxis may be beneficial for a limited period. Endovascular techniques for managing carotid injuries, such as deploying covered stents or performing balloon test occlusions, require careful consideration and are best performed in well-equipped facilities away from the battlefield. The treatment of traumatic vasospasm, which can occur days after the initial trauma, should be managed in specialized centers to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Andrew McVeigh, veteran technology leader and Chief Architect, whose career spans transformations at Hulu, Riot Games, and beyond. Andrew has navigated multi-billion-dollar shifts across industries from finance to gaming and healthcare, leaving behind architectures that still power companies today.The conversation dives deep into some of the most pressing questions in modern tech leadership: What matters most—EQ, IQ, or AI? Should organizations rebuild systems from scratch or evolve incrementally? Andrew shares candid stories, including lessons from Riot Games, the pitfalls of full rewrites, and the importance of balancing optimism with realism.Listeners will gain insight into how domain expertise and generalist skills complement one another, why EQ becomes more critical than IQ at senior levels, and how AI is reshaping engineering work without eliminating the need for human craft. Andrew also reflects on personal resilience, leadership missteps (like literally flipping a table), and the value of building systems and cultures that endure. This episode offers a rare inside look into decades of architectural wisdom and leadership lessons applicable to anyone guiding teams through complexity and changeTakeawaysEQ often outweighs IQ at senior leadership levels when managing large teams.Losing emotional control may feel satisfying in the moment but erodes long-term trust and outcomes.Generalists and specialists both play vital roles—large-scale architecture requires a mix of both.Domain expertise is valuable but shouldn't be an absolute barrier to hiring strong engineers.Successful engineers learn to work at the level of intention rather than just tasks.Psychological safety fuels better performance and innovation in teams.AI augments, not replaces—engineers must learn to collaborate with it effectively.Craft and fundamentals (e.g., programming) remain essential even as AI automates repetitive work.The Pareto principle (80/20) applies broadly—focus on high-leverage outcomes, not perfection.Full rewrites often fail; incremental evolution with a defined “North Star” strategy is safer.Optimism in leadership can shift cultures and reframe challenges as opportunities.Balancing results with humanity ensures people want to work with you again.Chapters00:00 Intro: EQ, IQ, or AI?01:15 Guest Introduction: Andrew McVeigh's career at Hulu, Riot Games, and more02:30 Industry Crossovers: From finance to gaming to healthcare04:10 Specialists vs. Generalists in large-scale systems05:20 The rising importance of EQ in leadership07:10 Riot Games culture and the “must be a gamer” debate11:20 What makes great engineers stand out13:40 Leadership, personal resilience, and the humanity factor17:50 How AI reshapes engineering work22:30 Applying the Pareto principle in tech leadership24:50 The rewrite dilemma: Start over or evolve?31:20 Preserving value while modernizing legacy systems36:10 Final thoughts: EQ, IQ, or AI?

When people think collapse, they picture mushroom clouds, zombies, or Mad Max chaos. But the more likely scenario isn't overnight anarchy — it's a slow collapse. Prices keep creeping up, jobs get shaky, and shelves don't always look as full as they used to. That's Depression 2.0. And in that kind of world, the skill that matters most is putting food on your own table.

The dominion of God's people is to reflect the dominion of God: Protecting the lowly and advancing the good of those within our influence.
Today we welcome Tim Metcalf, a Lafayette entrepreneur whose name is tied to some of Acadiana's most beloved establishments. Owner of Deano's Pizza, Prejean's Restaurant, and Marcello Wine Market, along with ventures in real estate, storage, and assisted living, Tim has built his life around preserving local traditions while bringing fresh ideas to our community. A Family Legacy in Restaurants Tim's entrepreneurial roots trace back to his father, who left behind a thriving restaurant career in California where his pizzeria drew in celebrities and locals alike. Fess Parker and Steve McQueen were regulars as they could hang out in the days before paparazzi. “He left very successful restaurants in California just because he didn't like the political, sociological climate. He was a country boy, an Idaho potato farmer, and the fast lifestyle of California didn't sit well with him.” A Korean War veteran, his father moved the family to Lafayette in 1970, opening Deano's in 1971. "Lafayette was booming. Oilfield, oil and gas. You know, he just didn't come to Lafayette on a whim. He read entrepreneurial magazines saying how it was one of the fastest growing cities in the country at the time," says Tim Metcalf. The original Deano's on Bertrand Drive was a simple pizzeria: counter service only, draft beer, pizza, a little green salad, and fountain drinks. “You wouldn't recognize it at all today… when Dad first started, there was no waitress. It was counter service. That didn't work in Lafayette. He soon changed it.” Deano's menu from the 1970s. Posted by Mona Bernhard on Lafayette Memories's Facebook Page. Tim, then ten years old, adapted quickly to Louisiana life after growing up in Santa Barbara. “They said, well, you can trade your surfboard for maybe a horse or a mini bike. I'm like, I'm okay. That sounds good to me.” He helped his dad around their rural property on Ridge Road and learned the value of hard work. "“We had pigs, sheep, rabbits, chickens… and a pretty big garden. Dad had a rototiller — an old Sears knuckle buster — and it was a lot of work, and it all fell on me.” As the youngest of four, Tim shouldered much of the responsibility for cutting grass, working the compost pit, and tending to the garden. “The older ones were in high school and had jobs. So from cutting the grass to road tilling, to manure, to compost, it all fell on me.” Looking back, he credits that hard work with shaping his character. “It taught me some really solid work ethic. I was never afraid of work, and still I'm not.” By the 1980s, Tim had taken over the reins of Deano's. Recognizing the need to adapt, Tim expanded both the hours and the menu. “When I got aboard, we started lunches and then we started other food and expanding the menu. 1983–84 — we had to do something else.” His biggest shift was weaving Acadiana's food culture into the pizza kitchen. “That was an awakening — to start taking the Cajun food, the great food that we have in this area, and incorporating it into our pizzas and our menu. Sausages, boudin, shrimp.” Photo by Paul Kieu for the Advertiser Expansion and Adaptation Tim later partnered with his son to open a South Lafayette Deano's, which quickly became a success. “My son and I have this great working relationship.” When COVID hit, they pivoted to selling pizzas and ranch dressing in grocery stores, personally delivering orders across Acadiana. “We kept our whole staff busy. We didn't have to lay anybody off.” That resilience fueled further growth. When the Guilbeau family approached him about Prejean's, Tim stepped in. “I wanted to keep it as pure and original as possible… I wanted to make it the spot in Carencro for the locals to hang out.” Prejean's: Preserving a Cajun Landmark The opportunity to purchase Prejean's came unexpectedly. “I had a good customer that goes, hey, you know Bob Guilbeau? He wants to talk to you about Prejean's. Next thing I know,

In the ancient Yererouk Basilica in Armenia, near the border with Turkey, young engineers are using 3D digital technology to scan every part of the building. The aim is to recreate the church on a screen, in full-colour and in three dimensions. This is the digital preservation initiative, created by TUMO, the Center for Creative Technologies, based in Armenia's capital Yerevan. It is training young Armenians to use new technology and also to connect them to their their 2000-year-old Armenian Christian heritage. In 2023, the country lost control of numerous important religious sites, when the province of Nagorno-Karabakh was taken over by neighbouring Muslim Azerbaijan. The mountainous enclave, known as Artsakh to Armenians, has long been a disputed territory between the two countries. Despite the new peace agreement signed recently, the province is still closed to Armenians. International observers using satellite technology say dozens of important Christian sites have been damaged or destroyed. Julia Paul travels to Armenia to find out how drones and lasers are helping young Armenians to connect to and preserve their ancient Christian heritage. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

Stepping inside an unassuming Pittsburgh garage the air feels heavy with history. Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, AC — names that shaped the language of speed - the names that defined eras of racing and excess — are lined up shoulder to shoulder, waiting patiently under covers like sleeping lions. It's a place that could easily feel like a museum. But it isn't. The heater hum, the bright lights, the smell of oil and gas — that all comes from a 21-year-old named Jacob Serbin. He is, in every sense of the word, a craftsman — one forged in grease, patience, and trial by fire. He is the conservator and mechanic of this wild collection owned by a man we will simply call Joey.
Aug. 26, 2025- In response to President Donald Trump's effort to allow church leaders to make political endorsements, Assemblymember Tony Simone, a Manhattan Democrat, makes the case for legislation intended to keep nonprofits from backing political candidates by tying nonpartisanship to their state tax-exempt status.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Giordano exposes how the loudest defenders of “democracy” are the same voices working to dismantle the very institutions that protect our Republic. From the Senate to the Supreme Court and the Electoral College, every safeguard designed by the Founding Fathers is under attack in the name of power. Nick explains why these institutions exist, the dangers of tearing them down, and how today's calls to abolish or reinvent them threaten the future of the United States. Episode Highlights Why the Founders intentionally created an undemocratic Senate to protect the rights of states and prevent mob rule How packing the Supreme Court for ideological gain would destroy its independence and moral authority The truth about the Electoral College, why it ensures balance among the states, and why DC statehood is nothing more than a political power grab
In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi! I'm currently working for a big tech company and I've just accepted an internal transfer to another team. At the same time, an external company reached out, offering me a job for a role I'm interested in and twice my current compensation. I'm not sure what to do. The offer from the new company is very interesting and I wouldn't think twice at accepting it if I still was in my old team. But now that I've accepted the internal transfer, I don't know what's best for my career: stay with my current company and lose out on a great offer, or go with the new company but likely burn bridges with my current manager, possibly closing off future opportunities to return to my current company (something that I'm open to in the future)? How do I politely but firmly stop a project manager colleague, who has vast open plains in their calendar compared to my Tetris-stacked week as a senior software engineer, from parking themselves at my desk for 45-minute vent sessions about everything that's frustrating them about our project? It's never just the weather; it's a full-blown TED Talk on their annoyances, which makes me feel defensive and frustrated in return. I've tried the headphones-on-and-look-intently-at-the-screen-approach, and sitting on the other side of the office, booking a smaller meeting room to hide, and carrying on working as they tell me about their troubles with both leadership and members of my team. Nothing seems to work. They find me every time. Is there a way to escape without faking my own death or staging an office fire drill? Thanks!
