Pour cette dernière partie de notre échange, Charlotte Parmentier-Lecocq, ministre déléguée chargée des Personnes handicapées, partage sa vision de l'engagement politique et ce qu'elle souhaite voir changer avant la fin de son mandat. Nous parlons ici de transmission, de confiance, et de l'importance de rendre la parole aux personnes concernées. Car au-delà des chiffres et des dispositifs, ce sont des vies, des histoires, des visages qui doivent guider l'action publique. Ce dialogue clôt une série d'épisodes engagés, mais profondément ancrés dans le réel. Parce qu'inclure, c'est aussi écouter, reconnaître et agir avec humanité. Merci à elle pour sa transparence, et à vous pour votre écoute.

Les communautés Roms forment la plus grande minorité ethnique d'Europe, et celle qui subit le plus de discriminations, en particulier dans l'accès à l'éducation et à l'emploi. Dans les pays de l'UE, les lois et les dispositifs de soutien de la Commission ont permis des progrès mais il reste beaucoup à faire, et dans les pays du voisinage, la situation est pire. Comment évolue la situation des communautés Roms en Europe ? Reportage en Moldavie, où plus de 40% des enfants Roms ne sont pas inscrits à l'école - alors que le taux de scolarisation approche au niveau national 90%. Et parmi les adultes, l'analphabétisme est fréquent. Pour remédier à cette situation des médiateurs, eux-mêmes issus de la communauté, sillonnent les villages à la rencontre des familles. Maria Gerth Niculescu.Invité : Olivier Peyroux, sociologue, enseignant à Sce-po Paris, co-fondateur de l'association Trajectoires. Il est notamment l'auteur de Délinquants et victimes ; la traite des enfants d'Europe de l'est en France (Non Lieu) et Les mondes Roms (Gallimard Jeunesse). Défense européenne : en Autriche, la neutralité commence à faire débatLes européens continuent à renforcer la coopération en matière de défense : hier lundi, un partenariat a été conclu entre Bruxelles et Londres, et les 27 se sont mis d'accord sur le principe d'achats communs de matériel militaire. Le mouvement de réarmement touche tous les pays y compris l'Autriche. Dans cette République qui a proclamé sa neutralité militaire au lendemain de la 2è guerre mondiale, le débat se focalise sur les moyens humains, et sur l'armée de milice aujourd'hui très affaiblie. Reportage en Basse-Autriche de Céline Béal. Rivers of blood : au Royaume-Uni, Keir Starmer a fait ressurgir un épisode historique très controversé de l'histoire contemporaine. Quelques jours après le succès du parti d'extrême droite Reform UK aux élections locales du 1er mai, le gouvernement travailliste a publié un Livre Blanc sur l'immigration. Le but : réduire l'immigration légale qui s'est élevée entre juin 2023 et juin 2024 à 728 000 personnes. Mais au-delà des mesures radicales annoncées, et de leur impact, par exemple sur l'emploi, ce qui a fait grand bruit dans les médias c'est la fameuse tournure de phrase du Premier ministre qui a dit redouter que son pays devienne une « île d'étrangers ».

According to a new report, gas prices in California could increase up to 75% by the end of 2026 as the state prepares to lose nearly one-fifth of its oil refining capacity. On Thursday, the Southern California Edison (SCE) tower in La Canada Flintridge was taken apart by airborne moving crews. A sky crane helicopter started the process of moving the tower to a staging area in three separate pieces. SCE says the three pieces of the tower will be dismantled and eventually moved into a warehouse. The Law Makers, Law Breakers and times that there oughta be a law.

This Day in Legal History: Pendleton Civil Service Reform ActOn January 16, 1883, the U.S. Congress enacted the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, a landmark piece of legislation that fundamentally transformed federal employment practices. The act was a response to widespread corruption and inefficiency in the government, fueled by the patronage or "spoils" system, which awarded jobs based on political loyalty rather than competence. Signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur, the Pendleton Act marked a critical shift toward merit-based hiring and promotion within the federal workforce.The law initially applied to only about 10% of federal jobs, requiring competitive examinations to determine qualifications. However, it granted the president authority to expand the classified service, allowing successive administrations to broaden its scope. The act also established the Civil Service Commission, the first federal agency tasked with overseeing adherence to these new standards of fairness and efficiency.This reform was catalyzed by public outcry following the assassination of President James A. Garfield in 1881 by a disgruntled office seeker. The tragedy underscored the dangers of a system rife with favoritism and incompetence, galvanizing bipartisan support for change. Over time, the principles of the Pendleton Act have become cornerstones of American civil service, contributing to the professionalization and stability of the federal government.By curbing patronage and introducing accountability, the act helped restore public trust in government operations. It also served as a model for state and local reforms and influenced broader discussions about the role of expertise in public administration. Today, the Pendleton Act is recognized as a foundational moment in the evolution of modern governance in the United States, laying the groundwork for a more impartial and effective civil service system.Victims of recent Los Angeles wildfires are leveraging California's unique legal doctrine of "inverse condemnation" to seek damages from Southern California Edison (SCE), even if the utility was not negligent. This doctrine, traditionally used against government entities for property damage, has been extended to utilities, making them liable for property damage caused during public service operations, regardless of fault. SCE is facing numerous lawsuits over the Eaton Fire, which destroyed thousands of structures and caused at least 24 deaths. Plaintiffs claim the fire originated near SCE's high-voltage transmission towers, although the company reports no operational anomalies on its lines before or during the fire.California law does not require plaintiffs to prove negligence for property damage claims under inverse condemnation. However, proving negligence could enable claims for personal injuries and wrongful death. The lawsuits cite substantial economic losses and damages exceeding insurance coverage. To mitigate financial impacts, a $21 billion state wildfire insurance fund is available, capping SCE's exposure at $3.9 billion.These cases, expected to take years to resolve, highlight the escalating legal and financial consequences for utilities in wildfire-prone areas.California utility faces billions in claims for fire damage even if it did nothing wrong | ReutersPam Bondi, nominated by Donald Trump for U.S. attorney general, assured the Senate Judiciary Committee that she would not politicize the Justice Department, but refused to rule out investigating Trump critics. Bondi, who previously served as Florida's attorney general and defended Trump during his 2019 impeachment trial, emphasized her focus on issues like violent crime and human trafficking while acknowledging she would evaluate investigations and potential pardons on a case-by-case basis.Democratic lawmakers expressed concerns about her independence, referencing Trump's pledge to target his adversaries and the dismissal of two past attorneys general who defied him. Bondi criticized Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations into Trump as partisan but claimed she would maintain fairness. Republicans praised Bondi, urging her to restore the Justice Department's reputation and combat crime and border issues. Democrats questioned her involvement in promoting Trump's election fraud claims and her support for FBI director nominee Kash Patel, who has been linked to controversial conspiracy theories. Bondi acknowledged Biden's 2020 victory but suggested irregularities in Pennsylvania. The committee continues vetting other controversial cabinet nominees ahead of Trump's upcoming inauguration.Trump nominee Pam Bondi vows independence, but won't rule out probes of Trump critics | ReutersIn my column for Bloomberg this week I focus on the strategic risks of advocating for retirement account tax reforms during the anticipated extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions under a new Trump administration. Extending these provisions, a top priority, will cost an estimated $4.6 trillion over the next decade, creating a politically and fiscally sensitive environment where other tax code changes could face heightened scrutiny. The 403(b) retirement accounts, designed for public employees and nonprofit workers, are particularly vulnerable because of their association with significant tax expenditures, which totaled over $300 billion in 2022 and are projected to exceed $2 trillion by 2026. Advocates for reform in areas like expanding 403(b) investment options should avoid pushing these changes now, as drawing attention to retirement accounts could lead to cuts framed as cost-saving measures. History shows that retirement savings provisions are not immune to political pressure, with past examples including the TCJA's elimination of Roth IRA recharacterizations and narrowly avoided cuts to 401(k) benefits. In this high-stakes fiscal landscape, strategic patience is essential. Advocates are advised to focus on preserving existing provisions rather than risking unintended consequences by pursuing reform during an unfavorable political moment.Retirement Account Reformists Should Wait to Push Tax Code Changes This is a public episode.

Amy Hudson, Brian Cygan, and Dr. James Fisher answer all your burning questions about health, fitness, and strength training. They cover the best way to warm-up before strength training, eating before or after a workout, and why you should prioritize strength training over cardiovascular exercises. Amy, Brian, and James discuss how becoming stronger can improve all aspects of your life. Question 1 - To warm-up or not to warm-up? Dr. Fisher explains that there is no evidence to support any need for a warm-up before a strength training session. Brian and Amy add--when lifting heavy objects at home, you don't warm up. As long as you're increasing the load incrementally during a strength training session, you won't need to warm up. Question 2 - Do you need to eat before or after a workout? According to Brian, you don't want to start a strength training workout in a fasted state. It's always a good idea to have a light, healthy snack 45 minutes before a workout to ensure your glucose levels remain stable. Dr. Fisher talks about eating after a workout: consuming high-quality protein an hour after a workout may help the body recover and build muscle. He adds that consuming a large amount of carbohydrates after a workout can blunt some of the positive hormonal responses you seek from the strength training session. Question 3 - Is it possible to improve the aesthetics of our physique at different points in life? Brian explains that we all possess an ability to improve the aesthetics of our physique throughout our life. What we can't influence is the order in which body fat is gained or lost. When it comes to losing weight, you need to play the long game. Have conviction in the process and don't focus too much on the outcome. Amy shares how strength training, adequate protein intake, and anti-inflammatory eating will keep you on a positive metabolic trajectory that leads to leaning out over time. Question 4 -Cardio vs. strength training: Which is better for your goals? Dr. Fisher reveals what the research says about cardiovascular training versus strength training--and why you should prioritize strength training over cardiovascular exercises. According to Dr. Fisher, cholesterol is not a villain. It's an essential part of our body and is used in the production of essential hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. Dr. Fisher explains why we should approach exercise based on the intensity of effort and how hard you're working rather than making it about cardio versus strength training. Amy and Dr. Fisher break down the amount of time and effort it takes to optimize health, fitness, and longevity across a person's lifespan. Dr. Fisher highlights how a single strength training session of around 20 minutes is infinitely more beneficial than 150 minutes of low to moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise. Does workout length matter? Amy and Brian agree that longer workouts don't guarantee better results. Effective strength training is about the quality of your workout, not how much time you spend in the gym.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

One of the largest investor-owned utilities in the country is preparing for an 80% increase in electricity demand by 2045. In this episode of Grid Talk, host Marty Rosenberg interviews Steve Powell who is the president and CEO of Southern California Edison.With a customer base of 15 million people across a 50,000 square mile service area, Southern California Edison is changing the way it prepares for the increased demand.“Our engineers that are frankly used to dealing with relatively small changes on the grid and small amounts of load growth and really focus on just making sure that the infrastructure stays reliable are now having to think very differently about how we plan for customer load growth and load growth is showing up really quickly,” said Powell.Meeting the demand for carbon free electricity means more generation from wind and solar and other sources like nuclear and geothermal. It also means more transmission to get electricity to customers.“You look at the California Independent System Operator's 20-year outlook and they're talking about 50 plus billion dollars of new transmission that needs to get built. We're going to need to build transmission miles at four times the pace that we've seen historically.”Powell admits 20 years is short timeframe, and the industry needs to move faster. “About 20% of the energy that customers use is electricity. By the time you get to 2045, I would expect 50 to 60% of it to be electricity based. So, customers are going to be two to three times more dependent on electricity than they are today. That means our level of service has to be better. Reliability is going to have to be better.”Steven Powell is president and chief executive officer of Southern California Edison. Powell has held a variety of positions of progressing responsibility since joining the company in 2000, including executive vice president, Operations and senior vice president of Strategy, Planning, and Operational Performance.  He has a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles and received his MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management. He has also held leadership positions in resource planning and strategy, gas and power procurement, and SCE's plug-in electric vehicle readiness efforts.

"Dark, dirty, dull, dangerous, and dumb"—that's a common misconception about careers in manufacturing, says guest Jake Hall on this episode of the Better Together podcast. Yet, according to Hall, "manufacturing is an industry that creates so much opportunity... I think it's the foundation of our economy." As the Manufacturing Millennial, Hall talks to corporate clients and audiences around the country about automation, technology, and what they can mean for modern manufacturers when it comes to attracting young professionals.

Send us a Text Message.Jennifer Oliver wants to tell you about Rize where the tagline is Beyond Banking. That's an Irwindale CA based billion dollar institution - formerly SCE Credit Union -  but Oliver says that even when she interviewed for the job she already was thinking about a name change.SCE, by the way, stands for Southern California Edison, a big electric utility. In the show Oliver explains why she thought the name had to change.But, importantly, this is more than a name change. Oliver, Rize's CEO,  also has put the institution on a rebranding journey where the mission becomes ending poverty.A big idea? You bet. Here's how Rize explains its mission and name change: “To better serve our members, we recognized the need for growth, which was challenging with our previous name. Many people don't know what a credit union is or mistakenly believe they must work for a specific company to join ours. We sought a name that eliminates that confusion and aligns with our mission, vision and values. We believe our new name will enhance our ability to serve current members, expand our reach, and allow us to make an even greater impact for our members and our communities."She's undertaking a big mission? You bet but on her way to this job Oliver put in a stint as executive vice president of Municipal Credit Union after NCUA conserved it. That happened after its CEO was arrested and later convicted for multi million dollar embezzlement and he was sentenced to a jail sentence. This was a big ugly blot on the reputation of all credit unions - and Oliver accepted the challenge to help remove the stain and keep Municipal functioning. The conservatorship team succeeded.  Municipal is out of conservatorship and it still serves New York's city employees.So if you think Oliver is taking on a huge problem, remember she's a veteran of the Municipal salvation.Sprinkled through the show are many good ideas she has for helping credit unions prosper.  Here's just one: she's created a pathway to enable foster kids to open accounts without the signature of an adult.  So the money the kid earns and may receive from the state is his or hers.  Getting this together needed thinking way outside of boxes - but she did it.And talk about our backpages she was a guest on this show in 2019, episode 2.  There's a link in the show notes.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

RFI en parle ce mercredi sur son antenne, au Burkina Faso, cinq magistrats ont reçu un ordre de réquisition pour servir l'armée au front contre les jihadistes et les groupes armés. Dans la presse, leur nombre varie selon les quotidiens : ils sont deux pour Le faso.net, quatre selon Aujourd8 ou SenePlus, le quotidien sénégalais.En tout cas, ils devront, rapporte SenePlus, « participer aux opérations de sécurisation du territoire du groupement des Forces de sécurisation du nord à Kaya (…) du 14 août au 30 novembre ».

In May 2024, T&D World not only included articles about wildfire mitigation in the annual Wildfire Supplement, but also in the print issue of the magazine. For this In Case You Missed It episode on the Line LIfe Podcast platform, we are featuring an audio version of the article, "Cutting Wildfire Risk." In this story, Thuan Tran, Jesse Rorabaugh and Andrew Swisher of Southern California Edison (SCE) share how their utility is taking a multi-layered approach to effectively mitigating the wildfire challenge. For example, SCE is driving down the wildfire threat by hardening the grid to avoid or prevent faults that can result in potential ignitions.

Project Apollo was a feat of human achievement akin to, and arguably greater than, the discovery of the New World. From 1962 to 1972, NASA conducted 17 crewed missions, six of which placed men on the surface of the moon. Since the Nixon administration put an end to Project Apollo, our extraterrestrial ambitions seem to have stalled along with our sense of national optimism. But is the American spirit of adventure, heroism, and willingness to take extraordinary risk a thing of the pastToday on the podcast, I talk with Charles Murray about what made Apollo extraordinary and whether we in the 21st century have the will to do extraordinary things. Murray is the co-author with Catherine Bly Cox of Apollo: The Race to the Moon, first published in 1989 and republished in 2004. He is also my colleague here at AEI.In This Episode* Going to the moon (1:35)* Support for the program (7:40)* Gene Kranz (9:31)* An Apollo 12 story (12:06)* An Apollo 11 story (17:58)* Apollo in the media (21:36)* Perspectives on space flight (24:50)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversationGoing to the moon (1:35)Pethokoukis: When I look at the delays with the new NASA go-to-the-moon rocket, and even if you look at the history of SpaceX and their current Starship project, these are not easy machines for mankind to build. And it seems to me that, going back to the 1960s, Apollo must have been at absolutely the far frontier of what humanity was capable of back then, and sometimes I cannot almost believe it worked. Were the Apollo people—the engineers—were they surprised it worked?Murray: There were a lot of people who, they first heard the Kennedy speech saying, “We want to go to the moon and bring a man safely back by the end of the decade,” they were aghast. I mean, come on! In 1961, when Kennedy made that speech, we had a grand total of 15 minutes of manned space flight under our belt with a red stone rocket with 78,000 pounds of thrust. Eight years and eight weeks later, about the same amount of time since Donald Trump was elected to now, we had landed on the moon with a rocket that had 7.6 million pounds of thrust, compared to the 78,000, and using technology that had had to be invented essentially from scratch, all in eight years. All of Cape Canaveral, those huge buildings down there, all that goes up during that time.Well, I'm not going to go through the whole list of things, but if you want to realize how incredibly hard to believe it is now that we did it, consider the computer system that we used to go to the moon. Jerry Bostick, who was one of the flight dynamics officers, was telling me a few months ago about how excited they were just before the first landing when they got an upgrade to their computer system for the whole Houston Center. It had one megabyte of memory, and this was, to them, all the memory they could ever possibly want. One megabyte.We'll never use it all! We'll never use all this, it's a luxury!So Jim, I guess I'm saying a couple of things. One is, to the young'ins out there today, you have no idea what we used to be able to do. We used to be able to work miracles, and it was those guys who did it.Was the Kennedy speech, was it at Rice University?No, “go to the moon” was before Congress.He gave another speech at Rice where he was started to list all the things that they needed to do to get to the moon. And it wasn't just, “We have these rockets and we need to make a bigger one,” but there was so many technologies that needed to be developed over the course of the decade, I can't help but think a president today saying, “We're going to do this and we have a laundry list of things we don't know how to do, but we're going to figure them out…” It would've been called pie-in-the-sky, or something like that.By the way, in order to do this, we did things which today would be unthinkable. You would have contracts for important equipment; the whole cycle for the contract acquisition process would be a matter of weeks. The request for proposals would go out; six weeks later, they would've gotten the proposals in, they would've made a decision, and they'd be spending the money on what they were going to do. That kind of thing doesn't get done.But I'll tell you though, the ballsiest thing that happened in the program, among the people on the ground — I mean the ballsiest thing of all was getting on top of that rocket and being blasted into space — but on the ground it was called the “all up” decision. “All up” refers to the testing of the Saturn V, the launch vehicle, this monstrous thing, which basically is standing a Navy destroyer on end and blasting it into space. And usually, historically, when you test those things, you test Stage One, and if that works, then you add the second stage and then you add the third stage. And the man who was running the Apollo program at that time, a guy named Miller, made the decision they were going to do All Up on the first test. They were going to have all three stages, and they were going to go with it, and it worked, which nobody believed was possible. And then after only a few more launches, they put a man on that thing and it went. Decisions were made during that program that were like wartime decisions in terms of the risk that people were willing to take.One thing that surprises me is just how much that Kennedy timeline seemed to drive things. Apollo seven, I think it was October '68, and that was the first manned flight? And then like two months later, Apollo 8, we are whipping those guys around the moon! That seems like a rather accelerated timeline to me!The decision to go to the moon on Apollo 8 was very scary to the people who first heard about it. And, by the way, if they'd had the same problem on Apollo 8 that they'd had on Apollo 13, the astronauts would've died, because on Apollo 8 you did not have the lunar module with them, which is how they got back. So they pulled it off, but it was genuinely, authentically risky. But, on the other hand, if they wanted to get to the moon by the end of 1969, that's the kind of chance you had to take.Support for the Program (7:40)How enthusiastic was the public that the program could have withstood another accident? Another accident before 11 that would've cost lives, or even been as scary as Apollo 13 — would we have said, let's not do it, or we're rushing this too much? I think about that a lot now because we talk about this new space age, I'm wondering how people today would react.In January, 1967, three astronauts were killed on the pad at Cape Canaveral when the spacecraft burned up on the ground. And the support for the program continued. But what's astonishing there is that they were flying again with manned vehicles in September 1967. . . No, it was a year and 10 months, basically, between this fire, this devastating fire, a complete redesign of the spacecraft, and they got up again.I think that it's fair to say that, through Apollo 11, the public was enthusiastic about the program. It's amazingly how quickly the interest fell off after the successful landing; so that by the time Apollo 13 was launched, the news programs were no longer covering it very carefully, until the accident occurred. And by the time of Apollo 16, 17, everybody was bored with the program.Speaking of Apollo 13, to what extent did that play a role in Nixon's decision to basically end the Apollo program, to cut its budget, to treat it like it was another program, ultimately, which led to its end? Did that affect Nixon's decision making, that close call, do you think?No. The public support for the program had waned, political support had waned. The Apollo 13 story energized people for a while in terms of interest, but it didn't play a role. Gene Kranz (9:31)500 years after Columbus discovering the New World, we talk about Columbus. And I would think that 500 years from now, we'll talk about Neil Armstrong. But will we also talk about Gene Kranz? Who is Gene Kranz and why should we talk about him 500 years from now?Gene Kranz, also known as General Savage within NASA, was a flight director and he was the man who was on the flight director's console when the accident on 13 occurred, by the way. But his main claim to fame is that he was one of — well, he was also on the flight director's desk when we landed. And what you have to understand, Jim, is the astronauts did not run these missions. I'm not dissing the astronauts, but all of the decisions . . . they couldn't make those decisions because they didn't have the information to make the decisions. These life-and-death decisions had to be made on the ground, and the flight director was the autocrat of the mission control, and not just the autocrat in terms of his power, he was also the guy who was going to get stuck with all the responsibility if there was a mistake. If they made a mistake that killed the astronauts, that flight director could count on testifying before Congressional committees and going down in history as an idiot.Somebody like Gene Kranz, and the other flight director, Glynn Lunney during that era, who was also on the controls during the Apollo 13 problems, they were in their mid-thirties, and they were running the show for one of the historic events in human civilization. They deserve to be remembered, and they have a chance to be, because I have written one thing in my life that people will still be reading 500 years from now — not very many people, but some will — and that's the book about Apollo that Catherine, my wife, and I wrote. And the reason I'm absolutely confident that they're going to be reading about it is because — historians, anyway, historians will — because of what you just said. There are wars that get forgotten, there are all sorts of events that get forgotten, but we remember the Trojan War, we remember Hastings, we remember Columbus discovering America. . . We will remember for a thousand years to come, let alone 500, the century in which we first left Earth. An Apollo 12 story (12:06)If you just give me a story or two that you'd like to tell about Apollo that maybe the average person may have never heard of, but you find . . . I'm sure there's a hundred of these. Is there one or two that you think the audience might find interesting?The only thing is it gets a little bit nerdy, but a lot about Apollo gets nerdy. On Apollo 12, the second mission, the launch vehicle lifts off and into the launch phase, about a minute in, it gets hit by lightning — twice. Huge bolts of lightning run through the entire spacecraft. This is not something it was designed for. And so they get up to orbit. All of the alarms are going off at once inside the cabin of the spacecraft. Nobody has the least idea what's happened because they don't know that they got hit by lightning, all they know is nothing is working.A man named John Aaron is sitting in the control room at the EECOM's desk, which is the acronym for the systems guide who monitored all the systems, including electrical systems, and he's looking at his console and he's seeing a weird pattern of numbers that makes no sense at all, and then he remembers 15 months earlier, he'd just been watching the monitor during a test at Cape Canaveral, he wasn't even supposed to be following this launch test, he was just doing it to keep his hand in, and so forth, and something happened whereby there was a strange pattern of numbers that appeared on John Aaron's screen then. And so he called Cape Canaveral and said, what happened? Because I've never seen that before. And finally the Cape admitted that somebody had accidentally turned a switch called the SCE switch off.Okay, so here is John Aaron. Apollo 12 has gone completely haywire. The spacecraft is not under the control of the astronauts, they don't know what's happened. Everybody's trying to figure out what to do.John Aaron remembers . . . I'm starting to get choked up just because that he could do that at a moment of such incredible stress. And he just says to the flight director, “Try turning SCE to auxiliary.” And the flight director had never even heard of SCE, but he just . . . Trust made that whole system run. He passes that on to the crew. The crew turns that switch, and, all at once, they get interpretable data back again.That's the first part of the story. That was an absolutely heroic call of extraordinary ability for him to do that. The second thing that happens at that point is they have completely lost their guidance platform, so they have to get that backup from scratch, and they've also had this gigantic volts of electricity that's run through every system in the spacecraft and they have three orbits of the earth before they have to have what was called trans lunar injection: go onto the moon. That's a couple of hours' worth.Well, what is the safe thing to do? The safe thing to do is: “This is not the right time to go to the moon with a spacecraft that's been damaged this way.” These guys at mission control run through a whole series of checks that they're sort of making up on the fly because they've never encountered this situation before, and everything seems to check out. And so, at the end of a couple of orbits, they just say, “We're going to go to the moon.” And the flight director can make that decision. Catherine and I spent a lot of time trying to track down the anguished calls going back and forth from Washington to Houston, and by the higher ups, “Should we do this?” There were none. The flight director said, “We're going,” and they went. To me, that is an example of a kind of spirit of adventure, for lack of a better word, that was extraordinary. Decisions made by guys in their thirties that were just accepted as, “This is what we're going to do.”By the way, Gene Kranz, I was interviewing him for the book, and I was raising this story with him. (This will conclude my monologue.) I was raising this story with him and I was saying, “Just extraordinary that you could make that decision.” And he said, “No, not really. We checked it out. The spacecraft looked like it was good.” This was only a year or two after the Challenger disaster that I was conducting this interview. And I said to Gene, “Gene, if we had a similar kind of thing happen today, would NASA ever permit that decision to be made?” And Gene glared at me. And believe me, when Gene Kranz glares at you, you quail at your seat. And then he broke into laughter because there was not a chance in hell that the NASA of 1988 would do what the NASA of 1969 did.An Apollo 11 story (17:58)If all you know about Apollo 11 is what you learned in high school, or maybe you saw a documentary somewhere, and — just because I've heard you speak before, and I've heard Gene Kranz speak—what don't people know about Apollo 11? There were — I imagine with all these flights — a lot of decisions that needed to be made probably with not a lot of time, encountering new situations — after all, no one had done this before. Whereas, I think if you just watch a news report, you think that once the rocket's up in the air, the next thing that happens is Neil Armstrong lands it on the moon and everyone's just kind of on cruise control for the next couple of days, and boy, it certainly doesn't seem like that.For those of us who were listening to the landing, and I'm old enough to have done that, there was a little thing called—because you could listen to the last few minutes, you could listen to what was going on between the spacecraft and mission control, and you hear Buzz Aldrin say, “Program Alarm 1301 . . .  Program Alarm 1301 . . .” and you can't…   well, you can reconstruct it later, and there's about a seven-second delay between him saying that and a voice saying, “We're a go on that.” That seven seconds, you had a person in the back room that was supporting, who then informed this 26-year-old flight controller that they had looked at that possibility and they could still land despite it. The 26-year-old had to trust the guy in the back room because the 26-year-old didn't know, himself, that that was the case. He trusts him, he tells the flight director Gene Kranz, and they say, “Go.” Again: Decision made in seven seconds. Life and death. Taking a risk instead of taking the safe way out.Sometimes I think that that risk-taking ethos didn't end with Apollo, but maybe, in some ways, it hasn't been as strong since. Is there a scenario where we fly those canceled Apollo flights that we never flew, and then, I know there were other plans of what to do after Apollo, which we didn't do. Is there a scenario where the space race doesn't end, we keep racing? Even if we're only really racing against ourselves.I mean we've got . . . it's Artemis, right? That's the new launch vehicle that we're going to go back to the moon in, and there are these plans that somehow seem to never get done at the time they're supposed to get done, but I imagine we will have some similar kind of flights going on. It's very hard to see a sustained effort at this point. It's very hard to see grandiose effort at this point. The argument of, “Why are we spending all this money on manned space flight?” in one sense, I sympathize with because it is true that most of the things we do could be done by instruments, could be done by drones, we don't actually have to be there. On the other hand, unless we're willing to spread our wings and raise our aspirations again, we're just going to be stuck for a long time without making much more progress. So I guess what I'm edging around to is, in this era, in this ethos, I don't see much happening done by the government. The Elon Musks of the world may get us to places that the government wouldn't ever go. That's my most realistic hope.Apollo in the Media (21:36)If I could just give you a couple of films about the space program and you just… thought you liked it, you thought it captured something, or you thought it was way off, just let just shoot a couple at you. The obvious one is The Right Stuff—based on the Tom Wolfe book, of course.The Right Stuff was very accurate about the astronauts' mentality. It was very inaccurate about the relationship between the engineers and the astronauts. It presents the engineers as constantly getting the astronauts way, and being kind of doofuses. That was unfair. But if you want to understand how the astronauts worked, great movieApollo 13, perhaps the most well-known.Extremely accurate. Extremely accurate portrayal of the events. There are certain things I wish they could include, but it's just a movie, so they couldn't include everything. The only real inaccuracy that bothered me was it showed the consoles of the flight controllers with colored graphics on them. They didn't have colored graphics during Apollo! They had columns of white numbers on a black background that were just kind of scrolling through and changing all the time, and that's all. But apparently, when their technical advisor pointed that out to Ron Howard, Ron said, “There are some things that an audience just won't accept, but they would not accept.”That was the leap! First Man with Ryan Gosling portraying Neil Armstrong.I'll tell you: First place, good movie—Excellent, I think.Yeah, and the people who knew Armstrong say to me, it's pretty good at capturing Armstrong, who himself was a very impressive guy. This conceit in the movie that he has this little trinket he drops on the moon, that was completely made up and it's not true to life. But I'll tell you what they tell me was true to life that surprised me was how violently they were shaken up during the launch phase. And I said, “Is that the way it was, routinely?” And they said, yeah, it was a very rough ride that those guys had. And the movie does an excellent job of conveying something that somebody who'd spent a lot of time studying the Apollo program didn't know.I don't know if you've seen the Apple series For All Mankind by Ronald D. Moore, which is based on the premise I raised earlier that Apollo didn't end, we just kept up the Space Race and we kept advancing off to building moon colonies and off to Mars. Have you seen that? And what do you think about it if you have? I don't know that you have.I did not watch it. I have a problem with a lot of these things because I have my own image of the Apollo Program, and it drives me nuts if somebody does something that is egregiously wrong. I went to see Apollo 13 and I'm glad I did it because it was so accurate, but I probably should look at For All Mankind.Very reverential. A very pro-space show, to be sure. Have you seen the Apollo 11 documentary that's come out in the past five years? It was on the big screen, it was at theaters, it was a lot of footage they had people had not seen before, they found some old canisters somewhere of film. I don't know if you've seen this. I think it's just called Apollo 11.No, I haven't seen that. That sounds like something that I ought to look at.Perspectives on space flight (24:50)My listeners love when I read . . . Because you mentioned the idea of: Why do we go to space? If it's merely about exploration, I suppose we could just send robots and maybe eventually the robots will get better. So I want to just briefly read two different views of why we go to space.Why should human beings explore space? Because space offers transcendence from which only human beings can benefit. The James Webb Space Telescope cannot articulate awe. A robot cannot go into the deep and come back with soulful renewal. To fully appreciate space, we need people to go there and embrace it for what it fully is. Space is not merely for humans, nor is space merely for space. Space is for divine communion.That's one view.The second one is from Ayn Rand, who attended the Apollo 11 moon launch. This is what Ayn Rand wrote in 1969:The next four days were torn out of the world's usual context, like a breathing spell with a sweep of clean air piercing mankind's lethargic suffocation. For thirty years or longer, the newspapers had featured nothing but disasters, catastrophes, betrayals, the shrinking stature of man, the sordid mess of a collapsing civilization; their voice had become a long, sustained whine, the megaphone a failure, like the sound of the Oriental bazaar where leprous beggars, of spirit or matter, compete for attention by displaying their sores. Now, for once, the newspapers were announcing a human achievement, were reporting on a human triumph, were reminding us that man still exists and functions as a man. Those four days conveyed the sense that we were watching a magnificent work of art—a play dramatizing a single theme: the efficacy of man's mind.Is the answer for why we go to space, can it be found in either of those readings?They're going to be found in both. I am a sucker for heroism, whether it's in war or in any other arena, and space offers a kind of celebration of the human spirit that is only found in endeavors that involve both great effort and also great risk. And the other aspect of transcendence, I'm also a sucker for saying the world is not only more complicated than we know, but more complicated than we can imagine. The universe is more complicated than we can imagine. And I resonate to the sentiment in the first quote.Faster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Hicimos un podcast de coches pesados… y rápidamente muchos me pedisteis éste, el de coches ligeros. ¡Y rápidamente lo hemos hecho! ¡Somos muy cumplidores! Pasamos de hablar de coches de 3 toneladas a coches de 300 y pico kg… ¡qué diferencia! Y os traigo nada menos que 15… porque he hecho unas pequeñas trampitas. Y es que hacer hoy día y con coches actuales de venta al público una lista de coches ligeros, casi equivale a hacer una lista de coches sencillos y baratos. Y es que podría deciros, sencilla y llanamente, que “los coches ligeros han muerto”. Por eso junto a coches de serie de venta en la actualidad os he traído algunos ejemplos de coche ligeros que no son actuales, pero son una referencia en este asunto. Y ya, para acabar de complicarlo todo he elegido coches actuales o muy actuales, pero… ¡un pero muy gordo!... ¡artesanales! 1. LCC Rocket. 386 kg. (1991). Con solo 386 kilogramos, anunciaba un 0 a 100 km/h en 4,4 segundos y solo se fabricaron 55 unidades. 2. Caterham Seven 170R. 440 kg. (Actualidad). La versión 170 R con motor Suzuki turboalimentado de 660 cm3 y 84 CV, marca sólo 440 kg en la báscula, lo que le permite acelerar de 0 a 100 en 6,9 segundos. 3. Renault Twizy. 450 kg. (Actualidad). Un coche diseñado y nacido para la ciudad y que debe su peso, entre otras cosas, a su reducido tamaño: 2,3 metros de largo y 1,4 metros de ancho. A pesar de ser eléctrico, era muy ligero, pero eso se pagaba en autonomía, que rondaba los 60 kilómetros. 4. De Tomaso Vallelunga. 500 kg. (1964). Cuando hablas de “De Tomaso” muchos piensan en preciosos deportivos con motor V8… lo que es cierto. Pero entre los años 1964 y 1968 nació este Vallelunga con un motor de 1,5 litros del Ford Cortina. 5. Fiat 500. 500 kg. (1957). Solo pesaba 500 kilos, pero su nombre no proviene del peso sino de la cilindrada de su motor bicilíndrico de refrigeración por aire, inicialmente 479 cm3 y 20 CV. 6. Lotus Elan. 584 kg. (1960). El mismo tío que decía “quítame un kg antes de darme un caballo” diseñó este coche. Hablamos por supuesto de Colin Chapman que fue el creador del Lotus Elan que pesaba 584 kilos, gracias a su chasis de viga central de acero y su carrocería de fibra de vidrio. 7. MINI 850. 580 kg. (1959). Quizás en este caso la ligereza fue una consecuencia, más que un objetivo. Porque el Mini era un coche pequeño, muy pequeño. Y bastante simple. Con el motor de cuatro cilindros y 850 cm3, el Mini pesaba 580 kilogramos. 8. Ariel Atom. 595 kg. (Actualidad). Tengo debilidad por los modelos fabricados por Ariel y en particular por el Atom. Hablamos de un biplaza con motor del Civic Type R, un 2.0 Turbo de 320 CV para 595 kg y consigues un “pepino” capaz de acelerar de 0 a 100 km/h en apenas 2,8 segundos. 9. Citroën AX. 640 kg. (1986). En el caso del AX la ligereza no era el objetivo principal… pero era el objetivo. Citroën quería un coche con un consumo muy bajo y para eso el peso es clave. El diseño del chasis, el empleo masivo del plástico e ideas muy originales, como el portón trasero sin estructura metálica, sino usando el propio cristal como estructura, permitieron un peso de 640 kg. 10. Spartan. 680 kg. (Actualidad). Este coche no es de las islas británicas, pero sí de una isla muy grande: Australia. La receta es parecida a la del Ariel: estructura tubular, carrocería de fibra de carbono, motor trasero 2.4 Honda de 275 CV y un peso de 680 kg en su versión básica. La aceleración de 0 a 100 es de sólo 3,3 segundos. 11. Suzuki Ignis. 935 kg. (Actualidad). El Ignis es el campeón de los coches ligeros producidos en grandes series. Hablamos de la versión básica, el Hybrid 2WD con el acabado más reducido con un peso en orden de marcha de sólo 935 kg. 12. Renault Twingo. 940 kg. (Actualidad). Aquí hacemos otra pequeña trampa porque en el momento de grabar este video la versión con motor de gasolina 1.0 SCE de 65 CV, la más ligera y que pesa solo 940 kg, no está disponible en España sonde solo se vende el eléctrico. Su aceleración de 0 a 100 km/h llega a los 15,1 segundos. 12+1. Mitsubishi Space Star. 940 kg. (Actualidad). El actual en su versión básica 1.2 pesa también 940 kg. con motor de gasolina de 1,2 litros y 71 CV. Tampoco es un “dragster” y acelera de 0 a 100 en 14,1 segundos. 14. Suzuki Swift. 965 kg. (Actualidad). Cuenta con la misma mecánica híbrida ligera de 83 CV del Ignis y acelera de 0 a 100 en 12 segundos además de tener un consumo muy bajo, en ciclo combinado: 4,7 litros cada 100 km. 15. Kia Picanto. 978 kg. (Actualidad). Y cerramos esta lista con el Picanto, al borde de la tonelada de peso en su variante más básica con motor 1.0 DPi de 67 CV pesa tan sólo 978 kg. acelera de 0 a 100 en 14,6 segundos y su consumo combinado es de 5,0 litros cada 100 km.

L'Afrique de l'Ouest est sous le choc après la sortie des pays sahéliens de la Cédéao, la Communauté économique des États d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les putschistes maliens, nigériens et burkinabè ont annoncé simultanément hier, dimanche 28 janvier, leur retrait unilatéral d'une organisation créée pour promouvoir l'intégration économique de la région. La Cédéao a été fondée au lendemain des indépendances en 1975. Jusqu'à hier, elle englobait quinze pays aux profils très disparates. En termes de PIB, le bloc est largement dominé par le Nigeria : il pèse à lui tout seul 450 milliards d'euros de PIB. Les trois partants réunis, c'est seulement 50 milliards d'euros. Sans la paix et la stabilité politique, difficile de promouvoir plus d'intégration dans ce vaste espace de libre-échange. La Cédéao va donc effectuer de plus en plus d'opérations de sécurité. Au lendemain du coup d'État au Niger, elle envisage d'intervenir militairement pour restaurer le président Bazoum.À lire aussiCédéao: comment expliquer l'annonce du retrait du Burkina Faso, du Mali et du NigerLes conséquences économiques de ce Brexit à l'africaineL'économie de toute la région a déjà été affaiblie par les sanctions de la Cédéao contre le Niger et le Mali. Les Nigériens pâtissent de la fermeture des frontières, de la suspension des transactions financières et du gel des avoirs déposés dans d'autres États membres. Les ménages des autres pays de la Cédéao ont vu le prix des denrées importées du Sahel s'envoler, c'est le cas de l'oignon principalement expédié par le Niger. Les pays sahéliens fournissent aussi du bétail dans toute la région. Les tensions sur les prix alimentaires sont une des conséquences les plus redoutées par les experts. Ce divorce fera des perdants à travers toute la communauté, estime un économiste observateur du continent.Les conditions du divorceDans les statuts de la Cédéao, une période d'une année est prévue pour négocier les termes du divorce. L'organisation sous-régionale s'est dit ouverte à la discussion. Cela prendra du temps et selon le résultat, l'effet sur l'économie sera plus ou moins négatif. L'une des questions les plus préoccupantes pour la population est celle du maintien ou pas du passeport qui permet aux 300 millions d'habitants de circuler librement. Sera-t-il retiré aux Sahéliens ? Le Nigérien Hamma Hamadou, consultant en finances, est convaincu que les effets négatifs seront atténués par les accords bilatéraux qui seront négociés entre voisins une fois le retrait officiellement acté, une nécessité d'après lui entre des pays frères qui échangent depuis la nuit des temps.La Cédéao ébranlée par ces trois départs simultanésCe n'est pas le premier départ, la Mauritanie est partie en 2000 sans grande conséquence pour le bloc. Mais l'économie des trois partants d'aujourd'hui est beaucoup plus imbriquée dans celle de la région.Et les trois pays pourraient aller plus loin dans la rupture. En quittant ensuite l'Union économique et monétaire ouest-africaine, et en renonçant donc au franc CFA, la monnaie des huit pays membres de l'UEMOA. Une décision « logique », selon Hamma Hamadou. Un avis partagé par plusieurs observateurs. Ce serait alors toute la structure de l'économie régionale qui serait ébranlée.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, but there are many benefits to a balanced diet. That's SAS' philosophy around embracing and extending open source as explained by life sciences leaders Mark Lambrecht and Matt Becker on this episode of the Health Pulse Podcast. To keep up with the staggering pace of change, life sciences organizations need cutting-edge analytics and the flexibility to use different programming languages. Tune in for a candid conversation about the pros and cons of open source and commercial software and the importance of the statistical computing environment (SCE) in clinical research.

Time-of-use (TOU) and other innovative rate designs are critical to managing an increasingly complex grid, achieving decarbonization goals, and integrating DERs. To achieve meaningful results, more energy customers need to adopt them. Southern California Edison (SCE) wanted to get its customers on new rates in a way that ensured a positive experience and delivered impact to the business. The utility's transition began with an opt-in pilot in July 2016 and a default pilot of 400k customers in 2018. The full TOU rollout started in Oct 2020 and ran through June 2022, with over 1.9M customers defaulted. SCE knew that managing a program of this scale would require an analytics-driven approach and a focus on putting customers first. The result of its approach was strong engagement and an added benefit: significant peak load reduction in August 2022, making it equivalent to the third largest program in SCE's DR line up. During the summer of 2022, SCE used its innovative Rate Coach Program, powered by Oracle's "Opower Behavioral Load Shaping" solution, to send specialized weekly communications to approximately 800,000 customers to help mitigate the effects of a record-breaking heat wave.

C'est quoi ces Barbies partout ?Tu l'as sûrement vu sur Insta ces derniers jours, elles ont volé la vedette aux chocolatiers et leurs publicités de pâques : LES BARBIESMais pourquoi on en voit de partout ?Le point de départ : la bande annonce officielle du film Barbie qui sortira au mois de Juillet avec un casting de oufPuis comme ça se souvent sur les lancements, la franchise Barbie et la Warner ont créé des portraits des acteurs flanqués du logo barbie. Ces portraits ont été repartagés par les concernés - Ryan Gosling - dualipa - margot robbie - Emma Mackey … Et pour compléter le tableau, le compte officiel du film @barbiethemovie met à dispo un générateur de selfies Barbie.https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqoFaC9t5QV/?igshid=MTIyMzRjYmRlZg==Le générateur te propose de te prendre en photo, le logo s'affiche par dessus et un statut aléatoire apparait « cette barbie est prête pour le week end » Le générateur t'invite bien sûr à partager avec le #barbielefillmSourceC'est ainsi que le #barbiethemovie tape 56k publications repris par des tonnes de personnes de créateurs et de comptes .

C'est simple, on a repris le concept du générateur de Martine ou de tchoupiAlgorithme TwitterL'algorithme de Twitter a un petit peu changé ces derniers mois avec le rachat de Elon Musk.Il y a maintenant un feed « Pour toi » qui permet à Twitter de te faire découvrir des comptes et des tweets que tu ne connais pas.Donc on peut savoir ce qui boost la visibilité de ses tweets. Car l'algorithme classe vos publications selon certains critères.Chaque retweet multiplie par 20 la visibilité de son tweet.Chaque like par 30.Si quelqu'un clique sur votre tweet et reste dans la section des réponses pendant plus de deux minutes par 22.Si utilisateur va voir votre profil depuis un tweet par 24.Si un utilisateur répond à votre tweet par 54.C'est un utilisateurs répond à votre tweet et que vous lui répondez à votre tour par 150.Dans ce qui dévalorise votre tweets :Plusieurs hashtagsÊtre signaléInventer des mots, faire des fautes d'orthographePublier des liens sortants !On retrouve aussi votre ratio abonnements/abonnés.SourceMeta annonce un outil d'IA pour ses publicitésC'est le branle bat de combat chez Meta, au fur et à mesure que l'IA s'impose, l'intérêt pour le Metaverse diminue et il n'y a pas d'autre choix pour zuck que de réagir.Tout récemment, Meta a annoncé travailler sur de nouvelles options de création d'annonces générées par l'IA qui devraient voir le jour au second semestre de cette année, ce qui fournirait des moyens supplémentaires aux annonceurs pour personnaliser leurs promotions à destination de différents publics cible.Pour faire feu Meta a mis en place une équipe chargée de l'Ia Generative.L'Ia viendrait appliquer automatiquement des améliorations publicitaires - telles que l'ajustement de la luminosité, des rapports d'aspect et du placement du texte - dans le but d'améliorer les performances de chaque campagne« Nous créerons automatiquement des variations de votre annonce avec différentes combinaisons de texte, des améliorations des médias et des changements de composition. Nous montrerons à chaque personne la variation à laquelle elle est plus susceptible de répondre. »La prochaine étape du processus pourrait permettre de simplement entrer quelques images et des notes de copier, d'appuyer sur un bouton et de demander au système de Meta de créer l'ensemble de la campagne.TikTok galère ? Byte Dance encaisse !Bien que TikTok soit un petit peu contrarié aux États-Unis, et en Europe, la société mère, Byte Dance, se porte bien. La société a enregistré des bénéfices record pour l'année 2022.Pour la première fois, elle dépasse ses concurrents chinois : Ali Baba et Tencent.L'entreprise chinoise aurait connu une augmentation de 30 % de son chiffre d'affaires annuel. Soit 85 milliards de dollars.Mais le bénéfice brut de l'entreprise aurait bondi de 79 %, pour atteindre les 25 milliards de dollars contre 14 en 2021.Bien sûr la croissance de TikTok y est pour quelque chose. Et notamment les dépenses de ses annonceurs.TikTok a cumulé 1,7 milliards d'utilisateurs sur l'année 2022 auquel il faut rajouter sa version chinoise Douyin et ses 730 millions de d'utilisateurs.25 milliards pour Byte Dance23,9 pour Tencent22,5 pour Alibaba37,63 pour Meta90,77 pour AlphabetSourceLa Maison Blanche recrute des influenceurs TikTok pour atteindre les jeunes électeurs avec des messages clésCe n'est pas nouveau, le gouvernement américain a l'habitude de se maquer avec des influenceurs pour faire passer ses messages, une stratégie qui a débuté durant le Covid, quand ils ont été invités à appeler à la vaccination sur leurs réseaux sociaux. Ça s'est aussi vu juste avant les élections de mi mandat, de discussions et tables rondes autour de la guerre en Ukraine, le gouvernement sait s'entourer pour obtenir l'appui des réseaux sociaux.selon des informations du médias Axios, la Maison-Blanche serait sur le point de créer une salle de briefing spécialement dédiée aux influenceurs. Le média va même plus loin en indiquant que cela viendrait appuyer «  la candidature non encore officielle du président Biden à sa réélection s'appuiera sur des centaines d'influenceurs »L'objectif de ce rapprochement avec les influenceurs est clair. Le gouvernement américain souhaite toucher les jeunes, notamment les 18-29 ans qui ultra présents en ligne et qui ne suivraient pas la Maison Blanche ou le Parti démocrate sur les réseaux sociaux. Cette stratégie a aussi pour ambition d'avoir un poids aussi lourd que les soutiens de Trump, très nombreux sur les réseaux sociaux. « Nous essayons d'atteindre les jeunes, mais aussi les mères qui utilisent différentes plateformes pour s'informer, les militants pour le climat et les personnes qui s'informent principalement par voie numérique », a déclaré Jen O'Malley Dillon, chef de cabinet adjoint de la Maison-Blanche.L'équipe de Biden vise à travailler avec des influenceurs dans les communautés régionales, coïncidant avec les visites de Biden dans ces régions, afin de maximiser la résonance des messages. TikTok et Instagram seront les principales plateformes de concentration dans cette nouvelle poussée.. . . Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

In this episode, we give the hosting reins to Matt Wehner, co-owner of Cabinet Concepts by Design in Springfield, MO, and board member of the Cabinet Makers Association. He chats with Tim Coleman of SCE Unlimited about year-end financials and focusing on your shop's magic number. Show notes Tim Coleman founded his Closet Organization company in 1988 and ran his business for nearly 30 years. He sold his successful company in 2017 and was asked by that buyer to stay on to run the closet division, which he did for 3 years.  In October of 2020 Tim was delighted to take the helm of SCE Unlimited in the Chicagoland area, which is owned by Installed Building Products, a publicly traded $2.5 billion company. SCE offers both Wire & Solid Systems from melamine to veneered wood, Shower Doors & Mirrors, and Bathroom hardware. Tim has run the business gamut from being a one-man shop to working with a team of over 50 employees. He was a Hunter Douglas Blinds, Shades, and Shutter dealer for 14 years and works with homeowners, custom builders, commercial developments, and retirement living centers. Tim believes that sharing knowledge and consistently seeking to learn new information is the only way people evolve and grow, and he endeavors daily to do both.    This podcast is produced by Association Briefings.
