1. Headline: The Birth of the Federal Theater Project Guest Author: James Shapiro On April 14, 1936, the Lafayette Theater hosted an integrated crowd for the premiere of an all-Black production of *Macbeth*. This era-defining moment was made possible by the Works Progress Administration under Harry Hopkins, who launched Federal One to employ artists during the Great Depression. Hopkins believed in putting people back to work in fields that suited their skills rather than manual labor. He recruited Hallie Flanagan, an experimental theater professor from Vassar College, to lead the newly formed Federal Theater Project, which eventually reached millions across twenty-nine states.

5. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro describes the Federal Theater's bold production of *It Can't Happen Here*, which served as a warning against a fascist takeover in America. The play's portrayal of concentration camps and tyranny significantly shifted public opinion regarding the threats posed by Hitler and Mussolini. However, the project faced mounting political opposition. Shapiro introduces Martin Dies, an ambitious Texas congressman who chaired the first House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Dies targeted the Federal Theater as "low-hanging fruit," accusing it of being communistic to attack FDR's progressive New Deal policies. (5)1921

Philippe le Bel, roi de France, se distingue par son ambition politique et son autorité sans faille. Son règne est marqué par des réformes audacieuses et une détermination à affirmer la puissance de la monarchie. Mais c'est l'étrange affaire des Templiers qui en fait une figure énigmatique de l'histoire médiévale. En 1307, il ordonne l'arrestation de l'ensemble des membres de l'ordre, les accusant d'hérésie, un coup de force qui ébranle l'Église et laisse planer un mystère autour de ses véritables motivations. Philippe le Bel, à la fois roi pragmatique et homme de pouvoir, devient le catalyseur de l'effondrement d'un ordre mystérieux, marquant son époque de façon indélébile."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

Vendredi 13 octobre, des hommes d'armes frappent aux portes de tout le royaume de France et arrêtent les Templiers. Peu parviennent à s'enfuir.

Natasha Hamilton was 16 when she signed a record deal with the girl band, Atomic Kitten. The group went on to sell over 10 million records and achieve three UK Number One singles including Whole Again and The Tide Is High. But the pressures of fame affected her mental health and made her feel isolated and judged. After five years and the birth of her first son, Hamilton quit the band. Today, Hamilton tells that story - the one that existed behind the headlines. We talk about the toxicity of 90s and early Y2K media, surviving postnatal depression and financial catastrophe after divorce. Plus we talk about why she set up her own record label, Morpho, to focus on nurturing and empowering young talent rather than - as she puts it - ‘moulding them into a product'. An amazing woman whose resilience should be an inspiration to us all!

The US Israel war with Iran has caused significant disruption to the global supply of oil and caused major economic upheaval. The US government has granted permission to domestic oil producers to drill in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, but much of America's oil comes from fracking. So will the frackers be taking advantage of current high oil prices to increase production? Vishala Sri-Pathma has the latest.In Sri Lanka, the government has announced an emergency shift to a four day work week to conserve dwindling fuel reserves, amid growing fears over petrol shortages. The Sri Lankan government has now declared that every Wednesday will now be a public holiday to cut fuel consumption on the island. Elsewhere, there were real worries in Dublin that Donald Trump's tax agenda could see US multinationals paying far less corporation tax in Ireland on their European profits. However, those fears haven't materialised. US tariffs have generally not been applied to pharmaceutical products which are Ireland's main export to the US. Meanwhile, the Irish economy has also been underpinned by a continuing corporation tax windfall.

Welcome to the very first episode of Inside Jim's Inbox, a new Q&A series where I open up the real questions you send—about faith, fear, evangelization, ministry, and everything in between—and we walk through them together. In this kickoff episode, I'm sharing the questions I hear most often: What even is evangelization? Do I know enough to share my faith? How do I deal with the fear of rejection? Along the way, I'll offer simple, hopeful ways to see evangelization not as expert level work, but as sharing what God has done in your life one honest, hope-filled conversation at a time. We'll also look at the questions parishes ask all the time: how to invite volunteers in a way that honors their gifts, and how to set healthy boundaries so that ministry strengthens you instead of draining you. My prayer is that this first episode feels like a welcoming doorway into a series where your questions guide the journey. [00:51] What is evangelization? [02:23] Do I know enough to share my faith? [04:00] How do I overcome the fear of rejection? [07:49] How do I get volunteers for our ministry? [09:56] How do I keep healthy boundaries in my ministry?

Many lawn and landscape companies stay busy all season long but still struggle financially. Why? Because they track revenue, but they ignore the KPI that actually determines profitability: production rate. In this episode, John explains how production rates work, why labor burden changes the math of every job, and how tracking time at the property level can expose which accounts are truly profitable. He also explains how tools like Yardbook's Job Profitability Report help identify underperforming jobs and what to do about them. If you want to know whether your crews are actually generating profit or simply staying busy, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Comments and Questions are welcome.

Hygiene production problems don't start this week — they were built months ago through leading indicators you can track and influence. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with ACT Dental coach Ariel Siegel to explain why hygiene production is a lagging indicator and how to improve it by focusing on reappointment rate, perio diagnosis, and perio acceptance. You'll learn what hygiene breakdown looks like in real time, what predictable stability looks like when systems are working, and the simplest numbers to start tracking today so you can engineer future results instead of reacting to past ones.Listen to Episode 1021 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysHygiene production is a lagging indicator that is built three to six months before the appointment through daily behaviors and tracking.Reviewing last week or last month's numbers shows where you were, but it doesn't give you a chance to change those results now.Reappointment rate, perio diagnosis, and perio acceptance are leading indicators that drive future hygiene production.When hygiene is built poorly, teams scramble to rebuild schedules, cancellations feel disruptive, and there is little depth in future hygiene.Perio diagnosis will vary by provider when the department lacks alignment, consistent protocols, and consistent verbal skills.Tracking real reappointment data (patients seen vs. patients scheduled) immediately increases awareness and improves performance.Focusing on one KPI for 30 days creates clarity for the team and compounds into stronger, more predictable hygiene production.Snippets:00:00 Hygiene production problems are built months before today.02:16 Hygiene production is a lagging indicator driven by leading indicators.04:22 What it looks like when hygiene is built wrong: scrambling, inconsistency, and a weak schedule.06:33 What it looks like when you build hygiene right: stable, predictable hygiene three to six months out.09:23 Engineer hygiene production by tracking reappointment, perio diagnosis, and perio acceptance.11:16 The actionable first step: track patients seen vs. patients reappointed.13:08 Use perio diagnosis by provider to find alignment gaps and improve consistency.15:49 Pick one KPI at a time to create focus and compounding improvement.17:13 Data removes emotion and lets the team solve the problem together.18:35 New BPA resources added for hygiene systems and metrics.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

n this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Sandy and Dana begin a three-part series exploring one of the most common questions dentists ask: how does a solo practice consistently reach an additional $150,000 per month in production? Many dentists assume the answer is more marketing, new technology, or outside solutions. But Sandy explains that production growth is usually driven by systems already inside the practice. When teams improve communication, scheduling, patient education, and training, they often uncover significant missed opportunities. In Part 1 of this series, Sandy and Dana break down four key production drivers that can immediately impact practice growth: same-day dentistry, phone call conversion, visual communication with patients, and consistent team training. Topics We Discuss Same-day dentistry and capturing treatment opportunities while the patient is in the office How unscheduled treatment represents one of the biggest missed opportunities in dental practices Why phone call conversion is critical to turning marketing into scheduled appointments How automated phone systems can create barriers for potential new patients Why visual tools help patients understand and accept treatment How intraoral photos, mirrors, and images improve case acceptance Why ongoing team training strengthens communication, systems, and production growth Special thanks to our sponsors:

Jacob Warwick is an executive negotiation coach who helps senior operators negotiate better salary, equity, titles, and severance packages. He has worked with leaders across tech and Hollywood, was previously a founder and CEO himself, and has helped clients secure millions in additional compensation. His approach focuses on collaboration over confrontation, understanding motivations, and treating job searches like enterprise sales processes.We discuss:1. Why a simple “What's the chance there's a little more here?” often unlocks a 20% bump2. Why Jacob sees 40% average movement when negotiations are run well3. When negotiation actually starts (hint: it's much earlier than you think)4. Why information + timing create power5. The biggest mistakes people make when negotiating6.

BONUS: Why the Human Architect Still Matters—AI-Assisted Coding for Production-Grade Software How do you build mission-critical software with AI without losing control of the architecture? In this episode, Ran Aroussi returns to share his hands-on approach to AI-assisted coding, revealing why he never lets the AI be the architect, how he uses a mental model file to preserve institutional knowledge across sessions, and why the IDE as we know it may be on its way out. Vibe Coding vs AI-Assisted Coding: The Difference Shows Up When Things Break "The main difference really shows up later in the life cycle of the software. If something breaks, the vibe coder usually won't know where the problem comes from. And the AI-assisted coder will."   Ran sees vibe coding as something primarily for people who aren't experienced programmers, going to a platform like Lovable and asking for a website without understanding the underlying components. AI-assisted coding, on the other hand, exists on a spectrum, but at every level, you understand what's going on in the code. You are the architect, you were there for the planning, you decided on the components and the data flow. The critical distinction isn't how the code gets written—it's whether you can diagnose and fix problems when they inevitably arise in production. The Human Must Own the Architecture "I'm heavily involved in the... not just involved, I'm the ultimate authority on everything regarding architecture and what I want the software to do. I spend a lot of time planning, breaking down into logical milestones."   Ran's workflow starts long before any code is written. He creates detailed PRDs (Product Requirements Documents) at multiple levels of granularity—first a high-level PRD to clarify his vision, then a more detailed version. From there, he breaks work into phases, ensuring building blocks are in place before expanding to features. Each phase gets its own smaller PRD and implementation plan, which the AI agent follows. For mission-critical code, Ran sits beside the AI and monitors it like a hawk. For lower-risk work like UI tweaks, he gives the agent more autonomy. The key insight: the human remains the lead architect and technical lead, with the AI acting as the implementer. The Alignment Check and Multi-Model Code Review "I'm asking it, what is the confidence level you have that we are 100% aligned with the goals and the implementation plan. Usually, it will respond with an apologetic, oh, we're only 58%."   Once the AI has followed the implementation plan, Ran uses a clever technique: he asks the model to self-assess its alignment with the original goals. When it inevitably reports less than 100%, he asks it to keep iterating until alignment is achieved. After that, he switches to a different model for a fresh code review. His preferred workflow uses Opus for iterative development—because it keeps you in the loop of what it's doing—and then switches to Codex for a scrutinous code review. The feedback from Codex gets fed back to Opus for corrections. Finally, there's a code optimization phase to minimize redundancy and resource usage. The Mental Model File: Preserving Knowledge Across Sessions "I'm asking the AI to keep a file that's literally called mentalmodel.md that has everything related to the software—why decisions were made, if there's a non-obvious solution, why this solution was chosen."   One of Ran's most practical innovations is the mentalmodel.md file. Instead of the AI blindly scanning the entire codebase when debugging or adding features, it can consult this file to understand the software's architecture, design decisions, and a knowledge graph of how components relate. The file is maintained automatically using hooks—every pre-commit, the agent updates the mental model with new learnings. This means the next AI session starts with institutional knowledge rather than from scratch. Ran also forces the use of inline comments and doc strings that reference the implementation plan, so both human reviewers and future AI agents can verify not just what the code does, but what it was supposed to do. Anti-Patterns: Less Is More with MCPs and Plan Mode "Context is the most precious resource that we have as AI users."   Ran takes a minimalist approach that might surprise many developers:   Only one MCP: He uses only Context7, instructing the AI to use CLI tools for everything else (Stripe, GitHub, etc.) to preserve context window space No plan mode: He finds built-in plan mode limiting, designed more for vibe coding. Instead, he starts conversations with "I want to discuss this idea—do not start coding until we have everything planned out" Never outsource architecture: For production-grade, mission-critical software, he maintains the full mental model himself, refusing to let the AI make architectural decisions The Death of the IDE and What Comes Next "I think that we're probably going to see the death of the IDE."   Ran predicts the traditional IDE is becoming obsolete. He still uses one, but purely as a file viewer—and for that, you don't need a full-fledged IDE. He points to tools like Conductor and Intent by Augment Code as examples of what the future looks like: chat panes, work trees, file viewers, terminals, and integrated browsers replacing the traditional code editor. He also highlights Factory's Droids as his favorite AI coding agent, noting its superior context management compared to other tools. Looking further ahead, Ran believes larger context windows (potentially 5 million tokens) will solve many current challenges, making much of the context management workaround unnecessary.   About Ran Aroussi Ran Aroussi is the founder of MUXI, an open framework for production-ready AI agents, co-creator of yfinance, and author of the book Production-Grade Agentic AI: From brittle workflows to deployable autonomous systems. Ran has lived at the intersection of open source, finance, and AI systems that actually have to work under pressure—not demos, not prototypes, but real production environments.   You can connect with Ran Aroussi on X/Twitter, and link with Ran Aroussi on LinkedIn.

Rivian has spent four years and billions of dollars building electric vehicles that most people cannot afford. The R2 — a mid-size SUV that starts at $45,000 and tops out at $57,990 — is the company's answer to that problem. Full pricing and trim details dropped today, 12 March 2026, and deliveries of the first Performance variant begin this spring. If it works, Rivian becomes a proper carmaker. If it does not, the maths gets ugly fast.From Concept to ConcreteThe R2 platform was first announced in 2022, with production originally pencilled in for 2025 at a planned factory in Georgia. That changed in March 2024, when RJ Scaringe, Rivian's founder and chief executive, unveiled the production-ready R2 alongside the smaller R3 and R3X crossovers at a packed event at the Rivian Theater in Laguna Beach, California. Mr Scaringe also confirmed he was scrapping the Georgia plan — at least for now — and would build the R2 at the existing Normal, Illinois plant instead. That decision saved more than $2.25 billion in capital expenditure and, crucially, pulled the launch date forward.Within 24 hours of its unveiling, Rivian had taken more than 68,000 reservations at $100 apiece. By July 2024, the company's VP of manufacturing Tim Fallon said reservations had surpassed 100,000 and were still climbing. Rivian has not updated that figure publicly since.Production began in January 2026. Validation vehicles rolled off the Normal line first, and the factory is now ramping toward a target capacity of 155,000 R2 units per year — alongside the R1 models it already builds there. Each R2 takes roughly 15 hours to assemble, down from 18 hours for an R1.Why the R2 Matters More Than Any Vehicle Rivian Has BuiltThe R1T pickup and R1S SUV earned Rivian a devoted following and the top spot in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction surveys. They also bled money. Rivian posted a net loss of $3.65 billion in 2025, on top of a $4.75 billion loss in 2024. The R1S starts near $75,000 (around £59,000) — a price that limits the addressable market to a sliver of American buyers."R2 is really instrumental for driving the business to positive cash flow and overall profitability," Mr Scaringe told CNBC in February. He was not exaggerating. The bill of materials for the R2 is roughly half that of the R1. Rivian slashed the number of computing units from over 60 in a traditional vehicle to seven, and cut wiring length by about two miles (3.2 km). The result is what Mr Scaringe called "a dramatic reduction in the cost structure to build it."Rivian did scrape together a positive gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 — a milestone, though the margin was wafer-thin at around 2%, compared with Tesla's 17%. The R2, with its leaner architecture and lower price, is meant to close that gap at volume. Analysts expect around 15,000 R2 deliveries in 2026, though some believe Rivian could exceed that figure. By 2027, with three full shifts running, the Normal plant could produce roughly 155,000 R2s annually.Today's Pricing: What You GetThe lineup spans four trims, all sharing an 87.9 kWh usable battery and a $1,495 destination charge. Here is how they break down:The Performance trim arrives first, this spring, at $57,990 (around £46,000) including the Launch Package. It runs dual-motor all-wheel drive with 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft (826 Nm) of torque and a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.6 seconds. Highway overtaking is savage: 50–70 mph (80–113 km/h) in 1.55 seconds. EPA-estimated range sits at up to 330 miles (531 km). The Launch Package bundles lifetime Autonomy+ access, a tow package rated at 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg) and an exclusive Launch Green paint option.The Premium trim follows in late 2026 at $53,990 (around £43,000). It shares the 330-mile range and dual-motor AWD layout but dials the power back to 450 hp and 537 lb-ft. Zero to 60 takes 4.6 seconds — hardly slow.The Standard RWD Long Range arrives in the first half of 2027 at $48,490 (around £38,500). A single rear motor delivers 350 hp and 355 lb-ft, reaching 60 in 5.9 seconds. Rivian estimates range at up to 345 miles (555 km) — the longest in the lineup, because rear-wheel drive is more efficient.Finally, the Standard RWD variant lands in late 2027 at approximately $45,000 (around £35,700). It uses a smaller battery pack and offers 275+ miles (443+ km) of estimated range. Rivian has shared few other details so far.All trims charge from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, which grants access to the Tesla Supercharger network. CCS adapters are supported too.Built Lighter, Built TougherThe R2 rides on an entirely new mid-size unibody platform — a departure from the R1's body-on-frame architecture. The result is a vehicle that weighs nearly 2,000 lbs (907 kg) less than its bigger sibling while sitting on a 115.6-inch (2,936 mm) wheelbase. At 185.9 inches (4,722 mm) long and 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, it is squarely in Tesla Model Y territory.The weight savings translate directly into agility, but Rivian has kept the off-road DNA intact. Ground clearance of 9.6 inches (244 mm) is best in class — nearly three inches more than a Model Y. Approach and departure angles of 25° and 26° respectively, plus a wading depth of 19.7 inches (500 mm), mean the R2 can do more than look adventurous in a car park. The Performance trim gets semi-active suspension, eight drive modes including Rally and Soft Sand, and a low centre of gravity courtesy of the structural battery pack.Inside, the cabin seats five adults with 40.4 inches (1,026 mm) of rear legroom and headroom — enough, Rivian says, for occupants over six feet (1.83 m) tall. Total enclosed storage is 90.1 cubic feet (2,551 litres), with a front trunk that swallows a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, fold-flat rear seats that create a level loading surface, and dual gloveboxes. The rear drop glass — a powered window that lowers completely into the liftgate — is a genuine talking point, allowing surfboards and other long cargo to slide in or a breeze to sweep through. It is included on Performance and Premium trims.Materials lean sustainable: upcycled Birch wood accents, a headliner made from recycled ocean plastics and Rivian's second-generation Adventex material, which is designed to withstand muddy boots and wet dogs in equal measure.The Technology PlayRivian calls the R2 a "software-defined vehicle," and the specification sheet backs that up. The perception stack comprises 11 HDR cameras with a combined 65 megapixels and a five-radar system — hardware that comes standard on every trim.Rivian Autonomy+, the company's Level 2+ hands-free driver-assist system, covers 3.5 million miles (5.6 million km) of roads across the United States and Canada. It costs $49.99 per month or $2,500 as a one-off purchase. The Launch Package includes it for the lifetime of the vehicle. Every R2 gets a 60-day trial.On-board AI compute runs to 200 TOPS, dedicated to the in-cabin experience. This powers the forthcoming Rivian Assistant — a voice-controlled system that processes complex requests locally, even when offline. The 5G-connected architecture ensures updates arrive over the air, while the offline capability means the vehicle is not hobbled in areas without signal.At the steering wheel, Rivian's in-house Haptic Halo dials replace conventional switchgear. These context-aware controls scroll, push, pull and tilt with distinct tactile feedback for different functions — an attempt to bridge the gap between touchscreen convenience and physical control that many rivals have abandoned entirely. Two digital displays complete the cockpit: one behind the wheel for driving data, and one in the centre for everything else.The Elephant in the Room: TeslaThe R2 lands in the most contested segment of the electric vehicle market. The Tesla Model Y — the best-selling EV on the planet and briefly the best-selling car of any kind in 2023 — starts at $44,000 in the United States and delivers up to 357 miles (575 km) of range. It has a vast Supercharger network, a mature software ecosystem and years of manufacturing refinement behind it.The R2 fights back with 3 inches (7.6 cm) more ground clearance, genuine off-road hardware, a richer interior (Model Y's cabin has always divided opinion) and that distinctive outdoor-adventure identity that Rivian has cultivated since its founding. Whether that is enough to prise buyers away from Tesla — or from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Chevrolet Equinox EV — remains the central question.Why Failure Is Not an OptionRivian burned roughly $3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 alone. It ended 2024 with about $5.3 billion in cash, a figure being steadily eroded by capital expenditure and operating losses. The Volkswagen joint venture — worth up to $5.8 billion in total — provides a lifeline, as does the potential for Department of Energy loan access. But lifelines do not last for ever.The company's stock tells its own story. Rivian went public in November 2021 at $78 a share, briefly touched $170 and now trades around $15. A 90% decline from the peak concentrates the mind wonderfully.The R2 must do three things at once: attract a materially larger customer base than the R1 ever could, generate a positive gross margin per vehicle and ramp to volumes that spread fixed costs across enough units to bend the loss curve downward. At a planned capacity of 155,000 units per year from Normal alone — with a second factory in Georgia eventually to follow — Rivian has the industrial ambition. The Volkswagen partnership supplies software licensing revenue and engineering credibility.Mr Scaringe has described the R2 as "the most important thing that we've developed as a company." On the evidence of today's specification sheet, it is also the most complete. The range is competitive, the technology is ambitious, the price is within reach of mainstream buyers and the off-road capability gives it a personality that few electric SUVs can match.None of which will matter if Rivian cannot build it at scale, on time and at a cost that leaves room for profit. The company that once dazzled Wall Street with a $170 share price now needs to dazzle customers with a $45,000 truck. That is the harder trick — and the one on which everything depends.

Alan sat down with Dr. Matt Burton to talk shop in a "swanky" new Chicago Dental Society podcast lounge that's a far cry from the usual exhibit hall floor. Matt shares the latest evolution of the Quad Matrix System, detailing how a few "minor" tweaks to wedge angles and material firmness are making a massive difference in clinical predictability. Between the deep dives into dental engineering, the conversation takes several hilarious detours—ranging from the high-speed, contempt-filled experience of Chicago taxi rides to the traumatic sight of a mascot (Hadley the dog) with its head off. Whether discussing the "smell of money" (anaerobes) or the potential for a dental-themed Voltron mascot, this episode balances technical expertise with the kind of irreverent humor that makes the Very Dental Network what it is. Key Takeaways from the Conversation The Evolution of the Quad Matrix: Matt discusses the "Matt Burton magic" found in the split-wedge design and the accompanying ring. The newest version features firmer materials and trapezoidal shapes to prevent matrix displacement. The "Renewable Resource" of Dentistry: A shift in focus from "Production" to "Profit." Matt argues that direct restorations (Class IIs) are the backbone of a recession-resilient practice because they have lower overhead and higher frequency than elective procedures. Eliminating Technique Sensitivity: Using high-quality tools isn't just about the result; it's about reducing the "sweat factor" and mental fatigue. Matt explains how a predictable matrix system turns a stressful procedure into a step-by-step win. The "Tryout" Procedure: Why the humble filling is actually your most important diagnostic and relationship-building tool. Flubbing a Class II is the fastest way to lose a new patient's trust. Invention Anxiety: Matt opens up about the "scary as hell" process of patenting and the "fake it until you make it" mentality required to bring a new dental product to market. Mascots and Misadventures: A hilarious warning about seeing mascots without their heads and a pitch for Garrison Dental to adopt "Anarobe" or "S. Mutans" as official characters.
