Podcasts about requirements

Marco Witzmann, Head of Requirements Portal at Altium, returns to the Altium OnTrack Podcast to show host Zach Peterson what the tool formerly known as Requirements Manager has become. In a live demo, Marco starts from a plain-language email about a wind-farm inspection drone and watches the new engineering assistant turn it into properly formulated requirements, complete with TBD placeholders instead of invented numbers. From there he breaks a high-level product spec down into mechanical, electronics, and flight software specifications, with parent-child links and full traceability generated automatically. Every change is proposed first and applied only when you approve it, so the agent never silently rewrites your project. The heart of the episode is the workflow every PCB designer recognizes: you are handed a hundred-page IMU specification and told to pick the MCU. Marco drag-and-drops the PDF into the AI-assisted importer, lets it separate real requirements from tables of contents and revision history, then asks the agent which requirements actually drive MCU selection. The answer comes back as a clean parameter-and-value spec — supply voltage, ambient temperature range, power budget, clock speed, end-to-end latency — linked back to the originals, and ready to drop straight into an Octopart parametric search. Marco and Zach also dig into what AI should and should not decide for you, why requirements work is really about faster iteration rather than perfect first drafts, how skills let a team standardize the way requirements get written, and what is next on the roadmap: API access, simpler ECAD integration, and per-project access control. 

Got a small windshield crack and a car inspection coming up? You might want to postpone it for a few days; and a dairy plant in Franklin County staying shuttered, at least for now. 

Pharmacists and Advocacy for Patients in Pain  Friday, August 21, 2026 What happens when patients living with chronic pain, their advocates, and the pharmacists responsible for dispensing opioid medications view the same healthcare system from very different perspectives? This special episode of This Week in Pharmacy brings together the Doctor Patient Forum's founders, Claudia A. Merandi and Bev C. Schechtman, with pharmacist and nationally recognized pharmacy advocate Dr. Shane Jerominski, PharmD—better known as “The Accidental Pharmacist.” The discussion follows a wave of social-media debate surrounding Claudia's use of the term “Harmacists,” which prompted responses from hundreds of pharmacists who felt the label misrepresented their professional responsibilities and the legal restrictions under which they practice. Rather than allow that controversy to deepen the divide, TWIRx created an opportunity for direct, respectful conversation. The purpose of this episode is to help pain-patient advocates better understand the limits pharmacists face when dispensing opioids—and to identify opportunities for pharmacists and patient organizations to advocate together for safe, compassionate and uninterrupted pain care. Five Legal and Supply-Chain Realities Affecting Opioid Dispensing Pharmacists have a federal “corresponding responsibility.” Under 21 CFR §1306.04, a controlled-substance prescription must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose. Pharmacists share legal responsibility with prescribers for determining whether a prescription is valid. Knowingly filling an illegitimate prescription may expose the pharmacist to federal penalties and professional discipline. Review the federal regulation. Schedule II prescriptions must satisfy strict requirements. Federal law generally requires a valid written or compliant electronic prescription before a Schedule II opioid may be dispensed. Emergency oral prescriptions are permitted only under limited conditions and require prescriber follow-up documentation. Schedule II opioid prescriptions cannot be refilled. Under federal law, every additional dispensing generally requires a new prescription. Partial fills are allowed only under specific circumstances, documentation requirements and time limits. Pharmacists cannot simply extend or refill opioid therapy when a patient or prescriber requests it. State laws add another layer of requirements. Depending on the state, pharmacists may have to verify prescriber authority, review prescription-monitoring information, validate electronic or security-form requirements, confirm identification, document partial fills, or comply with state-specific dispensing limitations. For example, California requires controlled-substance prescriptions to meet defined security and validity standards. California Board of Pharmacy guidance. Wholesaler monitoring can restrict a pharmacy's opioid supply. DEA-registered distributors must identify and report suspicious controlled-substance orders under 21 CFR §1301.74. National wholesalers therefore operate monitoring programs that may delay, limit or suspend shipments based on ordering patterns, geography, drug mix and internal thresholds. These controls are imposed upstream and can leave a pharmacy unable to obtain medication—even when the pharmacist believes a prescription is clinically and legally appropriate. Review the federal distributor requirements. These examples are not exhaustive. Pharmacists must navigate overlapping federal law, DEA requirements, state pharmacy and controlled-substance laws, prescription-monitoring systems, employer policies, payer rules, wholesaler restrictions and professional standards. Requirements also vary by state and by the circumstances surrounding an individual prescription. The Central Question How can pain-patient advocates and pharmacists move beyond blame and work together to address the policies, supply restrictions, staffing conditions and regulatory pressures that can interfere with appropriate care? This conversation explores: Why patients may interpret a refusal or delay as judgment, discrimination or abandonment Why pharmacists cannot treat a valid prescriber signature as automatic authorization to dispense How PDMP and risk-scoring information can influence clinical decisions The effect of corporate policies and wholesaler ordering controls The difference between professional judgment and stigma The communication failures that damage trust between patients, prescribers and pharmacists How advocacy organizations and pharmacists can pursue policy reform together Why patients deserve clear explanations, respectful treatment and continuity-of-care planning How pharmacists can remain vigilant without losing empathy for people living with pain About the Doctor Patient Forum The Doctor Patient Forum, founded by Claudia A. Merandi and Bev C. Schechtman, combines healthcare education, research, digital influence and patient advocacy to address the consequences of opioid-reduction policies and barriers to individualized pain care. Claudia A. Merandi is an advocate and educator whose work contributed to a Rhode Island law protecting access to pain management. Since 2016, she has built a growing national audience while documenting systemic harms experienced by patients and healthcare professionals. Bev C. Schechtman is a researcher, advocate and educator who examines opioid-reduction policies, prescription drug monitoring programs and surveillance technologies such as NarxCare. Her work helps patients understand and navigate an increasingly complex healthcare system. Learn more: The Doctor Patient Forum About Dr. Shane Jerominski, PharmD Dr. Shane Jerominski is a pharmacist, Navy veteran and nationally recognized pharmacy advocate known as “The Accidental Pharmacist.” In 2025, his professional peers selected him as one of the “50 Most Influential People in Pharmacy.” Through his influential social-media platform, Shane combines humor, candid commentary and frontline experience to advocate for safer working conditions, professional unity and meaningful reform throughout pharmacy practice. He is also a co-founder of The Pharmacy Guild and has become a prominent voice for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians nationwide. A Call for Collaborative Advocacy Patients should not be stigmatized because they require pain treatment. Pharmacists should not be vilified for complying with laws and professional obligations that can place their licenses and livelihoods at risk. Progress requires both communities to recognize that many barriers originate beyond the pharmacy counter. Patients, pharmacists, prescribers and advocacy organizations share an interest in policies that protect medication safety without denying appropriate, individualized care. The goal is not to determine which group has suffered more. The goal is to replace mistrust with understanding—and turn that understanding into stronger, unified advocacy. This episode is intended for education and discussion. It does not provide legal or medical advice, and regulatory requirements may differ by jurisdiction and circumstance.

Espresso in hand at Black Hat USA 2026, Monzy Merza, Co-Founder and CEO of Crogl, gave Marco Ciappelli the read from a week that started Monday. The free download the company announced the week before had drawn a strong community reaction, and a hackathon was running alongside the conversation with people downloading Crogl, hacking on it, and competing in challenges. Merza credits the openness of the approach as much as the product. What do security teams want from AI right now? Sovereignty. Merza describes a movement in which organizations have concluded that any work with AI has to cover privacy and security of the product and of the AI workload itself. Crogl was built as an on-prem product from the very beginning to serve mission critical organizations and critical infrastructure operators with hard requirements, and a larger community is now arriving at the same principles and asking what should be governed. The second shift is operational. The question moved from whether to look at AI to how work stays consistent and repeatable when one model is swapped for another, prompted by outages across model providers and in-house AI services going up and down. Merza describes the arc as a pendulum, from avoiding AI, to human in the loop, to a stretch where autonomy dominated. Crogl customers now run it both interactively and fully autonomously, with the line drawn at the tasks where a human has little reason to sit in the loop. This is a Brand Briefing.

CardioNerds (Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli, Dr. Cory Sejo, and Dr. Joseph Kassab), discuss tricuspid regurgitation evaluation and management with Dr. Sunil Mankad. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Einthoven under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. This discussion was planned in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Board Review Course.  Audio editing by CardioNerds intern Emma Winakur.

Key Points: Tricuspid regurgitation is common and associated with increased mortality at every stage, regardless of etiology. Outcomes are worse with worsening severity, so accurate grading is critical. Etiology is critical to guide treatment decisions. Etiology includes primary vs secondary (atrial or ventricular) vs CIED-related TR. 3D echocardiography can be very helpful in determining TR etiology, especially in CIED-related TR. Diuresis with the goal of euvolemia is step one. Additionally, underlying contributory conditions (eg. pulmonary HTN, HFrEF, atrial fibrillation) should be addressed, if appropriate, and then TR severity reassessed. The choice between T-TEER and TTVR hinges on anatomy, RV function, pulmonary hypertension, and the ability to tolerate anticoagulation. T-TEER is generally first line in atrial functional TR with appropriate anatomy, in patients with poor RV function who cannot tolerate a sudden increase in RV afterload, or in patients who cannot tolerate the necessary anticoagulation with TTVR. TTVR is preferred with wide coaptation gaps and CIED-related TR. This is a team sport. Multidisciplinary discussions utilizing imaging (TTE/TEE, CT), risk scores (TRI-SCORE or TRIO), patient preference, and prior institutional experience are essential for the effective treatment of severe TR. Notes: What is the clinical importance of tricuspid regurgitation? TR is very common with approximately 4% of people over 75 having moderate or greater severity. TR (even mild) is associated with increased mortality. Those outcomes worsen as the TR severity worsens, and this phenomenon is independent of the mechanism of regurgitation. What is unique about the tricuspid valve compared to the other cardiac valves? It is at an anterior location which allows it to be imaged well with transthoracic echocardiography It is the largest valve and composed generally of 3 leaflets (but very often can have 4+ leaflets). Importantly, the RV is compliant and changes size and shape readily based on loading conditions. The TV annulus similarly changes size and shape based on hemodynamic conditions such as preload. What is a good framework for approaching the causes of tricuspid regurgitation? Determine the presence and define the severity of TR. Using TTE, we want to measure the right atrial size, the RV size, and any other concomitant valvular lesions.  Use TTE (2D and 3D) to characterize leaflet anatomy and characteristics. Subtypes of TR mechanisms (many times etiology is mixed). Primary: primary leaflet abnormality, occurs in ~10% of cases. Look for prolapse, flail, endocarditis, etc. Secondary/functional: leaflets normal but surrounding structures are abnormal. Atrial: RA and tricuspid annular dilation but normal RV size/shape, and can be related to arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation. Ventricular: RV dilated and/or dysfunctional with leaflet tethering. Can be related to pulmonary hypertension or primary RV disease. Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED): Related to device (usually pacemakers or ICD) interaction with TV leaflets. Includes perforation, entanglement in subvalvular apparatus, impingement, etc. 3D TTE particularly helpful to evaluate How do we grade TR severity? It is very important to grade the severity of TR, and this is generally done with echocardiography. There are both quantitative and qualitative methods which use Doppler and various equations to estimate TR severity. Current recommendations have expanded TR severity beyond mild/moderate/severe to include “massive” and “torrential” categories. The most important parameters measured/calculated are vena contracta width, regurgitant volume, regurgitant fraction, and effective regurgitant orifice area. Helpful qualitative metrics include hepatic venous flow reversal. When should additional studies beyond transthoracic echocardiography, such as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), cardiac computed tomography (CT), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) be pursued? TEE is particularly helpful if TTE views are poor. Since TEE is used during transcatheter intervention, a pre-procedure TEE to define anatomy, determine procedure candidacy, and plan for the procedure is critical.  CT is also helpful for procedure planning and has particular strengths in defining annulus size and geometry. A CT is required prior to transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR). MRI is helpful for measuring RV volumes and function, but is not generally used to assess TR severity.  What is the approach to the treatment for severe tricuspid regurgitation? The first step is to try to determine the etiology. For secondary TR, treating the underlying condition is indicated. For example, pulmonary vasodilators for pulmonary HTN or guideline therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Diuretics are the mainstay for treatment, with the goal to obtain euvolemia. This may require inpatient admission to optimize volume status and medication regimen. Once reversible etiologies are addressed, if the patient is still symptomatic from TR, additional therapies can be considered. What is the role of right heart catheterizations (RHC) in patients with severe TR? RHC is very helpful for many reasons. We use it in TR to help determine volume status, cardiac output, and RV function. Additionally, identifying and characterizing pulmonary hypertension (with pulmonary artery pressures and calculating pulmonary vascular resistance) is an important factor when choosing future therapies.  With severe tricuspid regurgitation, when should we refer for intervention (either with surgery or transcatheter repair or replacement)? Once reversible etiologies are addressed and euvolemia has been achieved, if the patient is still symptomatic from TR despite aggressive medical optimization, additional therapies can be considered. Once euvolemic, a repeat TTE should be ordered to reassess the severity of the TR. Use calculators (for example, either the TRI-SCORE or TRIO score) to predict operative mortality for isolated TR surgery. What are our transcatheter treatment options in severe tricuspid regurgitation, and how do we choose between them? The primary approved transcatheter treatment options for severe TR include transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), of which the Edwards EVOQUE valve is the only one currently approved by the FDA. There are other TTVR device under investigation. These decisions should be made with a multi-disciplinary team including representation from cardiac imaging, interventional cardiology, and cardiothoracic surgery. Factors that go into the decision between T-TEER and TTVR include anatomy (annulus width, coaptation gap, leaflet length), RV reserve, pulmonary hypertension presence, ability to tolerate anticoagulation, patient preference, and institutional experience.  T-TEER is generally the first line with atrial functional and suitable anatomy. It is successful at reducing TR but does not generally eliminate it.  TTVR with EVOQUE is preferred in certain anatomic considerations like a large coaptation gap or when there is CIED-related TR (as this was excluded in T-TEER trials). Patients must be suitable for anticoagulation to receive TTVR as there is risk of leaflet thrombosis without it. If moderate/severe pulmonary hypertension is present, or there is poor RV function, TTVR may be avoided as the sudden elimination of TR causes a sudden increase in RV afterload which may not be tolerated. What is the role in advanced metrics for evaluating RV function? Advanced metrics like RV/PA coupling are under investigation but have not made it into the guidelines. The clinical utility is not yet known.  Assessing the RV function is important as stated above. Dr. Mankad prefers using 3D TTE to calculate an RVEF, or tracking RV longitudinal free wall strain. If you do encounter CIED-related TR, how do you treat it? Evaluate with TTE or TEE. 3D is very helpful to identify relative anatomy and leaflet-device interactions. There is no clear consensus about treatment if CIED-related TR is the primary mechanism of severe TR. If recently implanted, repositioning may be a valid option, but requires discussions with multiple teams including electrophysiology, advanced cardiac imaging, CT surgery, and interventional cardiology.

In Segment 1's 2A Tuesday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) Florida State Director Luis Valdes joins the broadcast during primary election campaign travel to discuss a landmark ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF). Valdes outlines the legal challenge following budget reconciliation legislation that reduced National Firearms Act (NFA) transfer and manufacturing taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns to zero dollars. The court ruled that without an active tax revenue collection mechanism under Article I, the federal government lacks constitutional authority to mandate NFA Form 1/Form 4 registration, fingerprinting, background checks, and registry filings for zero-taxed items. Valdes details the Department of Justice appeal window, federal agency oversight, and upcoming U.S. Supreme Court Second Amendment litigation regarding state-level semi-automatic firearm and magazine capacity bans.

Existing FedRAMP certification is no longer required for Department of Veterans Affairs contractors to win bids, a top agency IT official said Tuesday in a memo obtained by FedScoop. Any acquisition documents, including requests for information, proposals or quotations, should not state or imply that a cloud company must have already completed the governmentwide security check, Zack Schwartz, principal deputy assistant secretary in the VA's Office of Information and Technology, said in the memo. Schwartz wrote that the “memo supports VA's ability to sustain momentum with mission needs to provide secure technology solutions in a dynamic cyber risk environment, while avoiding unnecessary delays in the procurement of critical systems and services.” He added that the “distinction is intended to preserve acquisition flexibility while maintaining VA's risk management and operational security standards.” Instead, cloud systems, services and solutions companies must fully comply with other security requirements — including those from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, VA directives and handbooks — and receive a VA Authorization to Operate, which could be granted in 60 days. The Department of Homeland Security is expanding its AI use for FOIA processing in response to a sizable backlog and increasing number of requests, per the agency's annual report. In fiscal 2025, DHS started with 221,068 pending FOIA requests. After receiving more than 1 million requests and processing nearly the same amount, the agency ended the year with 245,572 pending requests. Despite the uptick, DHS said it maintained its backlog — defined as the number of requests or administrative appeals at the end of the fiscal year that are beyond the statutory time for a response — at just 16% of total requests received. Technology could help the agency make a bigger dent in the years to come. “The DHS Office of Privacy continues to invest, develop, implement, and deploy new technological advances in FOIA processing,” the agency said in its 2025 FOIA report, published Thursday. “It expects to launch additional automation tools this coming year to further improve efficiency and reduce administrative redundancies.

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear While J. Allen Hynek was bringing the invisible college out into the open, he became involved with a documentary that has Rod Serling as its main host, along with Burgess Meredith, José Ferrer, and Vallée. The movie makes a compelling argument that UFOs should be taken seriously and includes appearances by former Blue Book heads Robert Friend and Hector Quintanilla.In its release in 1974 it was titled UFOs: Past, Present, and Future, which was changed to UFOs: It Has Begun for its release in 1976 and 1979. Besides being informative and entertaining and preserving a bit of UFO history for future researchers, the story behind its production has become a part of UFO history as well, as its producers were reportedly misled by the Pentagon into believing they would receive classified footage of a UFO landing at Holloman AFB in May of 1971.The footage was described as showing a meeting between the UFO occupants and Air Force officials. According to producer, main writer, and composer Robert Emenegger, it was going to be the finale of the documentary until the DoD withdrew the offer at the last minute.Robert Emenegger was interviewed by Mel Fabregas in 2009. According to him, he and Allen Sandler had originally set out to produce a series of films about advanced military technology, but were diverted by an intriguing piece of information offered by their military contact at Norton Air Force Base, Paul Shartle. Shartle, Security Manager and Chief of Requirements for the Audio-Visual Program at the base, said that he had seen a film of an alien craft landing at Holloman AFB in 1971. As discussions about possible projects continued, the idea that one of them be about UFOs came up and was encouraged by military officials who offered the producers the use of the footage. Emenegger and Sandler decided to go ahead with a UFO documentary, and the film was made. Read more →CONTACT AND SUPPORT

Sustainability anxiety is real. Watching wildfires spread, sea levels rise, and ice melt while governments drag their feet on climate policy can leave anyone feeling stuck. Andrew opens today's episode by naming that frustration directly, then makes the case for where real momentum is actually coming from: business. This episode breaks down why companies are adopting sustainability practices, sometimes because they want to and sometimes because regulation and consumer pressure leave them little choice. Andrew walks through the European Union's corporate sustainability due diligence directive, a law requiring large companies to address environmental and human rights harms across their entire supply chain. He also shares a real cost savings story from Mountain Equipment Co-op's warehouse recycling overhaul, and explains how B Corp certification gives consumers a way to check a company's environmental and social record before they spend a dollar. This episode sets up Friday's interview with a sustainability consultant who works inside the entertainment industry, giving listeners the business and regulatory context needed to get the most out of that conversation. Takeaways The EU corporate sustainability due diligence directive requires large companies to address environmental and human rights harms across their full global supply chain Consumer spending and cancel culture create real pressure on companies to change their environmental practices Mountain Equipment Co-op saved millions of dollars annually after fixing its warehouse recycling and packaging process B Corp certification scores companies on people, profit, and planet, giving consumers a way to vet businesses before buying Small and medium-sized businesses face a heavier relative burden than large corporations when new sustainability regulations take effect Industry pushback has already led EU ministers to reduce the number of companies covered by the directive and delay its timeline Support Independent Podcasts: https://www.speakupforblue.com/patreon Need help with your ocean non-profit, company, or project?

In this episode of Marked by Grace, Pastor Heath Lambert answers a listener question in two parts: what is the significance of fasting, and are Christians required to do it? He explains that fasting means withholding food (or another good gift) in order to shift focus from the gift to the Giver. He then walks through what the New Testament actually teaches about fasting as a spiritual practice, showing that while fasting is assumed throughout Scripture, it is never commanded the way prayer is commanded.00:13 This week's topic: the significance and requirements of fasting01:23 What fasting actually means: withholding food to focus on the Giver02:21 Is fasting required of Christians?03:07 Matthew 6:16-18: Jesus teaches on fasting in the Sermon on the Mount04:14 The New Testament assumes fasting but never commands it05:12 Why the lack of a command gives Christians freedom06:37 Ephesians 6:18 and the command to pray at all times07:04 Why fasting pairs with prayer but is not required like prayer is
