What does it take to build a resilient public health system? Keshana Owens-Cody, Director of the Office of Public Health Infrastructure at the New York State Department of Health, talks about incorporating core competencies into public health agencies and why fostering a true culture of learning is essential in an era of constant change. Owens-Cody explains how competency-based frameworks can help agencies move beyond “survival mode” and toward a more intentional, organized approach to workforce development, performance evaluations, accreditation, and long-term infrastructure building. Later, Catherine Murphy, Senior Analyst of Government Affairs at ASTHO, discusses the status of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA). Originally passed in 2006, the sweeping preparedness law underpins key programs supporting medical countermeasures, hospital readiness, and emergency response nationwide.

47 years. That is how long the U.S. and Iran have been circling each other, probing for weaknesses, and demonizing the other (in many cases for good reason). Tensions reached a tipping point on February 28, 2026 and the United States, along with Israel, initiated a new wave of strikes which has lead to chaos across the Middle East. 11 countries have been targeted by retaliatory strikes from Iran and the death toll on all sides continues to rise. How did we get here? Why was now the time to act? Where does it all end and what decisions will shape the final outcome of this latest use of military force? In this month's episode, we speak with Alex Vatanka, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, where he focuses on Iran. We review the terse relationship between these two countries since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and outline the litany of moments that have shaped the course of history. In addition, the conversation outlines how this war got started and what shape it has taken in the early days, providing key insights into possible outcomes. While much is left to be written in this story, the key moments have been set in motion. Listen to gain critical insights into this fast moving and ever changing conflict that will reverberate across the world for years to come.(Please note: This episode was recorded on February 27, one day before U.S. and Israeli airstrikes started. We have tried to capture the latest updates to the fighting, but understand this conflict has shifted rapidly in the first few days).Alex Vatanka is a Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute. He specializes in Middle Eastern regional security affairs with a particular focus on Iran. He was formerly a Senior Analyst at Jane's Information Group in London. Alex is also a Senior Fellow in Middle East Studies at the US Air Force Special Operations School (USAFSOS) at Hurlburt Field and teaches as an Adjunct Professor at DISAS at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He has testified before the US Congress and lectured widely for both governmental and commercial audiences, including the US Departments of State and Defense, US intelligence agencies, and a list of international corporations.Born in Tehran, he holds a BA in Political Science (Sheffield University, UK), and an MA in International Relations (Essex University, UK), and is fluent in Farsi and Danish.

Cresce l'allarme tra le imprese energivore per il forte aumento del prezzo del gas. In pochi giorni il Psv è salito da 33 a 55 euro al MWh, mentre i future sul Ttf di aprile hanno già raggiunto i 58 euro. Per settori come la ceramica questo significa un possibile extracosto annuale stimato in circa 180 milioni di euro, anche perché solo una parte limitata dei contratti di fornitura è stata bloccata a prezzi precedenti. La preoccupazione riguarda anche l'effetto a catena sul prezzo dell'elettricità e sulla competitività delle industrie italiane ed europee. Diverse associazioni industriali chiedono interventi a livello europeo, dalla revisione del sistema Ets alla definizione di politiche energetiche più stabili e accordi di fornitura di lungo periodo. Nel frattempo il governo ha annunciato un confronto con il sistema produttivo per valutare possibili misure di sostegno nel quadro della conversione del decreto Bollette. Ne parliamo con Sara Deganello, Il Sole 24 OreRincari energetici, come (indirettamente) colpiscono l'agroalimentareL'aumento delle tensioni in Medio Oriente e dei prezzi dell'energia rischia di avere effetti anche sul settore agroalimentare, soprattutto attraverso canali indiretti. Una delle principali preoccupazioni riguarda i fertilizzanti: una quota significativa della produzione mondiale passa dallo stretto di Hormuz, mentre un'altra parte rilevante proviene da Russia e Bielorussia. Eventuali interruzioni nelle forniture potrebbero far aumentare i costi agricoli e, di conseguenza, i prezzi lungo tutta la filiera alimentare. A incidere sono anche i rincari energetici che si trasferiscono sui trasporti, sulla trasformazione industriale e sui materiali di imballaggio. Tuttavia, rispetto alla fase iniziale della guerra in Ucraina, i mercati agricoli partono oggi da una situazione più stabile, con scorte più elevate e una domanda più debole, fattori che potrebbero attenuare eventuali shock sui prezzi. Resta comunque il rischio di volatilità legato all'incertezza geopolitica e alle aspettative degli operatori. Interviene Filippo Roda, Senior Analyst di AretèLavoro, Istat: tasso di disoccupazione a gennaio cala al 5,1%, nuovo minimoA gennaio 2026 il mercato del lavoro registra un miglioramento: gli occupati salgono a oltre 24 milioni e il tasso di disoccupazione scende al 5,1%, il livello più basso dall'inizio delle serie storiche nel 2004. La crescita dell'occupazione riguarda dipendenti permanenti, lavoratori a termine e autonomi, mentre diminuisce il numero delle persone in cerca di lavoro. Anche il tasso di disoccupazione giovanile cala, scendendo al 18,9%. Nonostante questi segnali positivi, resta aperto il nodo dei salari: nel quarto trimestre del 2025 i redditi da lavoro dipendente sono aumentati solo dello 0,5% e le retribuzioni reali nel settore privato restano ancora inferiori del 6,5% rispetto ai livelli del 2020, segno che il recupero del potere d'acquisto è ancora incompleto. Il commento è di Francesco Seghezzi, presidente Fondazione ADAPTOpenAI mette la retromarcia sull'alleanza con il PentagonoOpenAI ha annunciato una revisione dell'accordo siglato con il Pentagono per l'utilizzo dei suoi modelli di intelligenza artificiale all'interno delle reti classificate del Dipartimento della Difesa. L'intesa, pensata per supportare attività come analisi tattiche, logistica e decision making militare, ha però suscitato forti critiche e reazioni negative tra gli utenti, con un aumento significativo delle disinstallazioni dell'app ChatGPT negli Stati Uniti. Il caso è esploso anche in seguito alla scelta della società rivale Anthropic di interrompere la propria collaborazione con il Pentagono, rivendicando limiti più stringenti sull'uso militare dell'IA. Di fronte alla polemica, il CEO Sam Altman ha definito l'operazione iniziale "opportunistica e raffazzonata" e ha annunciato modifiche all'accordo, tra cui il divieto di utilizzo per sorveglianza domestica intenzionale dei cittadini statunitensi e nuove restrizioni sull'accesso da parte di alcune agenzie governative. Il commento è di Biagio Simonetta, Il Sole 24 Ore

A spike in U.S. youth vaping rates back in 2018 sparked a worldwide moral panic over teen vaping. But the so-called “epidemic” was short-lived. In just 4-years, U.S. teen vaping fell over 60% to a historic low in 2023. It's good news for everyone except those campaigners who profit from panic.

In this podcast, our space experts, Christopher Baugh, Partner, and Prachi Kawade, Senior Analyst, cover how Amazon Leo and TeraWave from Blue Origin will soon enter the low-Earth orbit (LEO) connectivity market and raise the competitive pressure on today's satellite broadband leaders. Amazon Leo's LEO network pairs gigabit class, enterprise-grade performance with deep AWS integration, signalling a cloud-native challenger built for far more than consumer access. Blue Origin's TeraWave constellation will up the ante with a multi-orbit, ultra-high throughput design aimed squarely at enterprise, government and data-centre workloads. We compare these architectures with Starlink's model and highlight where features such as symmetrical multi-Tbit/s capacity and built-in redundancy could shift expectations for non-terrestrial networks. We also examine the strategic and operational hurdles both players must clear to compete globally. Explore our related programmes: Satellite Capacity Satellite Broadband

Then, Heather Tomlinson, Senior Analyst of Environmental Health at the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, breaks down the growing presence of kratom in U.S. markets. She explains its traditional use in Southeast Asia, how modern products differ from natural leaf preparations, and why highly concentrated or synthetic compounds are raising new health concerns.

What do infection prevention in dialysis clinics and hurricane response in the Caribbean have in common? More than you might think. This episode explores how culture, leadership, and coordination shape health outcomes, whether in a treatment chair or a disaster zone. First, Shalini Nair, a Senior Analyst of Infection Disease at ASTHO, breaks down the growing concern around dialysis-related infections and what the CDC's Making Dialysis Safer for Patients Coalition is doing to address it. She shares frontline-informed strategies that health departments and facilities can use right now: building a “see it, say it” culture of safety, using short, role-specific training and real-time coaching, and ensuring visible leadership support that reinforces infection prevention as everyone's responsibility. Then, the focus shifts to disaster response with Maggie Nilz, Senior Analyst of preparedness at ASTHO and Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization. Nilz reflects on her decade of deployments, from chainsaw operations in U.S. disaster zones to coordinating international health response in Jamaica after a devastating hurricane. She explains how public health leadership, interagency coordination, and pre-disaster data systems are critical when hospitals are damaged, infrastructure is down, and communities still need everyday healthcare.

What does it mean to live in an age where disorder is no longer a temporary crisis but a permanent condition? Corey is joined by Jason Pack, a geopolitical analyst and founder of Libya Analysis, to discuss global instability, institutional decay, and what Jason calls the Enduring Disorder. Drawing on experiences spanning post-9/11 Middle East policy, Libya's fragile political landscape, and years of work with NATO affiliated institutions, Jason argues that the world has moved beyond the post Cold War order into something far more volatile and fragmented. The conversation weaves together geopolitics, psychology, religion, and even gambling theory. Jason explains how games like backgammon and poker illuminate leadership, risk, empathy, and decision making under uncertainty, offering metaphors for diplomacy and democratic governance alike. From Russia's strategy of chaos to the erosion of institutional trust at home, the episode explores how disorder benefits those seeking power without responsibility and what it will take to rebuild shared standards of truth, accountability, and civic trust.

Is Taiwan's biggest ally still reliable? For years, the U.S. and Taiwan were "best friends" because of democracy. But now, the conversation has changed to "protection fees" and business deals.

[00:34] Why Taiwan's mood is a global warning sign. [01:43] The "might makes right" dynamic at Davos. [07:33] The shift from "shared values" to "protection fees."

Der frühere deutsche Vizekanzler der Grünen ist heute Senior Analyst am Dänischen Institut für internationale Studien. In dieser Funktion beschäftigt er sich mit Grönland, welches zu Dänemark gehört. Im Tagesgespräch erzählt er, wie Europa mit dem Druck aus den USA umgehen soll. Wir lebten in einer Welt der Raubtiere, sagt Habeck. Es sei daher wichtig, dass Europa geeint dastehe. Die Ansprüche Trumps auf Grönland müsse man ernst nehmen, man könne sie nicht als Spinnerei abtun. Er erklärt, welche Strategie er Europa nun empfiehlt und ob er in dieser Weltlage froh sei, dass er nicht Kanzler geworden ist.

In this episode of Stuff About Money They Didn't Teach You in School, Erik Garcia is joined by Miles Clark, Senior Analyst at Nasdaq Dorsey Wright, to explore a simple but important question: what's better—time in the market or timing the market? The conversation opens with a long-term look at how markets have behaved over multi-decade periods and what that data can teach investors when they're deciding what to do with new money, especially when markets are sitting at or near all-time highs. From there, Erik and Miles walk through three common investor approaches: investing a lump sum right away, waiting for a pullback, or easing in over time. They discuss which experiences tend to lead to better long-term outcomes and why those results often surprise people. The conversation also touches on momentum, relative strength, and market breadth, including what it means when market leadership becomes narrow and valuations stretch. The episode wraps up with Miles' thoughts on what matters most heading into 2026, what investors tend to worry about too much, and what deserves more attention moving forward. If you found this episode helpful, follow the show and share it with someone who's still waiting for the “right” time to invest. Episode Highlights: Miles discusses a study showing "Average Joe," who invests $500 monthly regardless of market conditions, outperforms market timers by about $1 million. (07:25) Miles breaks down market breadth through a football analogy: it tells investors whether the market is on offense or defense. (13:20) Miles mentions that in core-dominated markets, the real risk isn't beating the benchmark but simply keeping up with it. (18:55) Miles discusses how Dorsey Wright applies relative strength to identify which assets to hold, focusing on sustained trends rather than short-term news. (22:45) Miles explains how momentum investing rotated out of tech in 2022 into energy and utilities, then back into tech for 2023-2024. (29:30) Erik emphasizes that risk capacity matters more than risk tolerance, which is often driven by emotions about current market conditions. (36:25) Key Quotes: "We don't necessarily have to focus on protecting against the entire market washout. We really just need to protect ourselves against where we're over-concentrated in our portfolios." - Miles Clark "In core-dominated markets, a lot of the risk is actually just not keeping up with the benchmark because it is so strong." - Miles Clark "Finding and earning positive relative strength is just trying to pick those assets that are doing relatively better towards the up or downside than their benchmark." - Miles Clark Resources Mentioned: Miles Clark Nasdaq Dorsey Wright Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

Ready for an explosive episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, as we dive into the heart of America's battle for freedom. First, we tackle the shocking persecution of Tina Peters, the 70-year-old Gold Star Mother and election integrity hero thrown into solitary confinement at La Vista State Prison after exposing 2020 election irregularities. With updates from her own X post, Joe Oltmann's war cry, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's outrage, we'll expose the Colorado government's brutal retaliation—strip searches, windowless cells, and a 17-day lockup—while rallying you to join the #FreeTinaPeters movement. Don't miss our urgent call to action to save this patriot from the Deep State's clutches.Next, we unleash intelligence titan Michael Waller, Senior Analyst at the Center for Security Policy and author of Big Intel, to dissect the Marxist infiltration turning our CIA and FBI from Cold War victors to woke warriors. From the “long march through the institutions” to chilling reversals of counterintelligence against American citizens, Waller will name names and reveal how the Left hijacked our spy agencies. With his firsthand experience under CIA Director Bill Casey, this is a masterclass in fighting the ideological subversion threatening our Republic—tune in and arm yourself with truth.We tackle today's breaking news: Democrats' call for the military to defy Trump sparks a fiery exchange with President Trump and Michigan Senator Slotkin, dissected with Joe Oltmann's X take. Then, we expose Minnesota's $1B welfare fraud scandal, where Somali communities funnel taxpayer cash to Al-Shabaab, complete with a shocking “Jihad now!” clip from a community leader. We'll demand action to clean house, overstay visas be damned, before ending with a laugh courtesy of Kyle Seraphin's roast of Julie Kelly's X hiatus. This is raw, unfiltered patriotism—lock in now!
