In "Electrifying the Cold Chain Without Breaking the Grid" Joe Lynch and Sam Plunkett, CEO of Nivalis Energy Systems, discuss how self-powered, electrified trailers can drastically cut fleet costs and emissions without overwhelming the power grid.  About Sam Plunkett Sam Plunkett is CEO of Nivalis Energy Systems, where he is leading the transition away from diesel-powered refrigeration in commercial transport. Under his leadership, Nivalis is developing and deploying electrified refrigerated trailer solutions that help fleets reduce operating costs, lower emissions, and improve the efficiency of cold-chain logistics operations across North America and Europe. Prior to joining Nivalis, Sam led Battery Technology at Beam Global and built a career spanning materials science, electrochemistry, electrical engineering and product development. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Argonne National Laboratory in conjunction with the University of Illinois Chicago, where his strong publication record and patented innovations focused on battery thermal safety and advanced Lithium battery chemistry. Today, Sam brings this expertise in electrification, energy storage and commercial transport to Nivalis, helping bring innovative technologies from concept to real-world fleet deployment. About Nivalis Energy Systems Nivalis Energy Systems develops electrified refrigerated transport solutions designed to help fleets transition away from diesel-powered Transport Refrigeration Units (TRUs). Supporting refrigerated logistics operations across North America and Europe, the company's platforms are designed to lower operating costs, reduce maintenance requirements, and improve operational efficiency across cold-chain transport operations. Designed for both retrofit and new-trailer applications, Nivalis solutions support a wide range of trailer sizes, operational requirements, and the system is TRU agnostic. The company's technology roadmap includes next-generation multi-energy systems combining battery, solar and regenerative technologies to improve the long-haul viability of electrified refrigerated transport. Key Takeaways: Electrifying the Cold Chain Without Breaking the Grid In "Electrifying the Cold Chain Without Breaking the Grid" Joe Lynch and Sam Plunkett, CEO of Nivalis Energy Systems, discuss how self-powered, electrified trailers can drastically cut fleet costs and emissions without overwhelming the power grid.  Proven Bottom-Line Savings: Nivalis's electrified solutions have been on the road for over two years, demonstrating average operational savings of $12,000 per trailer, per year by dramatically reducing diesel consumption and mechanical maintenance costs. Strategic European Acquisition: The recent acquisition of SolarEdge eMobility brings 25 years of automotive-grade electrification engineering and manufacturing scale, accelerating Nivalis's integration of solar and regenerative braking technologies. Independence from the Power Grid: Upcoming next-generation platforms will utilize solar panels and e-axles to harvest braking energy. This allows trailers to generate their own power, drastically reducing or entirely eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming depot grid charging upgrades. Seamless, Agnostic Integration: Designed to be TRU (Transport Refrigeration Unit) agnostic, the technology easily retrofits onto existing Carrier or Thermo King systems. It requires zero operational changes from drivers, automatically powering up or down alongside the existing refrigeration unit. Trailers as Mobile Microgrids: Nivalis is building toward a future where returning trailers with latent battery capacity can push energy back into a distribution hub's grid during peak pricing hours, using AI to optimize energy usage across the entire facility. Powering Advanced Security and Compliance: The robust onboard battery provides a reliable, redundant power source for critical auxiliary systems—like advanced telematics, door-breach sensors, cameras, and pallet-level temperature tracking—without draining the tractor's alternator or relying on idling diesel engines. Expanding into Dry Vans: A new European pilot program applies Nivalis's solar and e-axle technology to standard, non-refrigerated dry vans. The harvested energy is used to slightly propel the trailer on the highway, reducing the tractor's workload and tracking toward a savings of 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year.

Transit in Metro Detroit is at an inflection point. We talk with Transportation Riders United executive director Megan Owens about the new Wayne County‑wide transit millage, what an extra eight bucks a month could unlock, and how our region invests less in buses than almost any big metro in America. The vote is crucial for the future of transit as it would finally opt-in all communites in Wayne County to transit, similar to how most places nationall work. If it fails, we could lose what service we do have.  They dig into Lansing's latest budget "switcheroo," how Oakland County's all‑in vote reshaped service, and TRU's upcoming Round‑the‑Mitten tour to prove you really can ride public transit from Detroit to Marquette.

Dzīvojam laikmetā, kad līdzās milzīgam apjomam zinātnisku faktu un pētījumu ir tik pat liels apjoms mārketinga satura, kurā vairs īsti nevaram orientēties un viegli nošķirt, kur graudi, kur sēnalas. Veselība ir tā joma, kur tas ir īpaši būtiski. Vairs nav tie laiki, kad informāciju par savu veselību meklējām tikai biezās enciklopēdijās. Mūsdienās talkā nāk mākslīgais intelekts un arī digitālā satura veidotāji. Vai varam ticēt visam, ko lasām? Kādos gadījos sociālo mediju satura veidotāji patiešām ir labs avots un kad jākļūst uzmanīgam? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā analizē Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes doktorante, docētāja, Bērnu klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas datu pārvaldības speciāliste Viola Daniela Kiseļova. Ierakstā uzklausām kardiologa Kārļa Trušinska komentāru. Viola Daniela Kiseļova norāda, ka "Eurostat" ir analizējis, cik daudz cilvēku pēdējo trīs mēnešu laikā internetā ir meklējuši ar veselību saistītu informāciju par kādām slimībām, par traumām, uzturu vai veselības uzlabošanu. Saskaņā ar "Eurostat" aptaujas datiem Eiropas Savienībā šādu cilvēku īpatsvars 2025. gadā sasniedz apmēram 60 procentus, bet Latvijā - aptuveni 47 procentus. "Skaidrs arī, ka veselības informācijas meklēšana internetā kļūst arvien izplatītāka, lai gan Latvijā šie rādītāji joprojām ir zemāki nekā vidēji Eiropas Savienības valstīs," atzīst Viola Daniela Kiseļova. Pēdējā laika tendence - cilvēki dod analizēt un skaidrot savus analīžu rezultātus mākslīgajam intelektam. Vai to var uzticēt mākslīgam intelektam? Viola Daniela Kiseļova: No manas puses galvenās bažas par mākslīgā intelekta lietojumu ir tā pārliecinošā retorika, kad izlasot arī man šķiet, ka varbūt nemaz nav jāveic pētījums. Es pajautāju jautājumu un varu pat palūgt, lai man publikāciju izveido, tādu, kas varbūt neeksistē nekur. Protams, svarīgs arī ir vaicājums, ko cilvēki vispār jautā mākslīgajam intelektam.  Bažas ir par to, ka cilvēki nekorekti interpretē. Tas var būt palīdzošs rīks, lai labāk interpretētu kādus terminus, ja, piemēram, runā ar veselības aprūpes speciālistu, saņem atbildi un īsti kaut ko neuztver, tad var vienkāršotā valodā pēc tam pārskatīt un saprast, ko tas nozīmē. Ēnas puse varētu būt, pirmkārt, sensitīvie dati, tie paši analīžu rezultāti tiek "iebaroti" mākslīgajam intelektam, mēs nezinām, kur tie dati nonāk tālāk. Mēs droši vien pat neizlasām šo politiku konkrētajam rīkam vai programmatūrai, cik ilgi šie dati tiek glabāti. Otrs - vai mēs tiešām, ja mums nav priekšzināšanu vai izglītības veselības nozarē, spēsim kritiski izvērtēt, kuri rezultāti ir patiesi un kas varbūt ir ļoti maldinoši? Informācijas pieejamība pieaug, bet tas nenozīmē, ka iegūstam kvalitatīvāku saturu un ka spējam kritiski izvērtēt, kādu saturu patērējam. Kāds ASV veikts pētījums liecina, ka aptuveni 20% no pieaugušajiem iedzīvotājiem ir izmantojuši mākslīgo intelektu, lai jautātu kaut ko saistībā ar savu veselību. Runājot par sociālo mediju algoritmiem, kas piedāvā dažādus līdzīgus ierakstus, ja esi izvēlējies vienu, Viola Daniela Kiseļova atzīst, ka jāuzdod jautājums, vai tiešām mēs saprotam, ko patērējam? "Arī pētījumi rāda, ka cilvēki sāk arvien vairāk izmantot sociālos medijus un arī patērēt influenceru saturu saistībā ar veselības tēmām. Bet, ja paraugās datos, galvenokārt cilvēki uzticas veselības aprūpes profesionāļiem," norāda pētniece. Vai ir pamats domāt, ka veselības influenceru veidotais saturs vismaz kādai daļai sabiedrības kļūst, ja ne gluži ģimenes ārsta aizvietotāju, tad par cilvēku, ar kuru primāri viņi konsultēsies vai uztvers viņu teikto kā konsultāciju par saviem veselības jautājumiem?  Viola Daniela Kiseļova: Pētījumi rāda, ka primārais avots aizvien ir ģimenes ārsts vai veselības aprūpes speciālists. Bet vienlaikus mums ir jādomā arī par pašiem pētījumiem - kā tie tiek veikti un kāda ir metodoloģija. Un, ja mēs domājam par veselības informācijas meklēšanas paradumiem, tad tur galvenokārt ir intervijas un aptaujas. Ir arī tāds fenomens kā sociāli pieņemamāka atbilde. Tas nozīmē, ka cilvēks, izvērtējot un iepazīstoties ar jautājumu, varbūt jutīsies kaut kādā mērā neērti atbildēt patiesi. Ja viņš patiesi zina, ka galvenokārt patērē saturu, kas saistās ar veselību, izmantojot sociālos medijus, nevis vēršoties pie sava veselības aprūpes speciālistu, pie ārsta, tad cilvēks varētu arī tās atbildes pielāgot, zinot, kā tas varbūt ir mums sociāli pieņemts.  -- Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības pārstāve Ance Priedniece iepazīstina ar skaisto pogotāju lakstīgalu.

In s2e37, Ann and Tru continue their History-of-Prints conversation about Venice in the 18th century. This is part two of three in which we talk about Canaletto. While often remembered as a topographical painter of postcards, Canaletto was, in fact, a master of curated reality. In this segment, they examine how Canaletto transformed the ordinary streets and canals of Venice into grand, cinematic scenes. Whether using the camera obscura to manipulate perspective or painting en plein air, he captured the "Venetian Vibe" with a meticulous yet lively brush. We take a deep dive into his Capricci—imaginative visions and cityscapes that felt more like Venice than the city itself—and discuss how his work became the ultimate souvenir for travelers seeking to bottle the spirit of the floating city.

They discuss the film's plot, the development of Katniss Everdeen as a reluctant hero, and the role of President Snow as the mastermind villain orchestrating the oppressive regime of Panem. The conversation highlights the complexities of storytelling in a multi-part film series and the challenges of maintaining audience engagement in a narrative that is not self-contained. They discuss the destruction of District 12, the believability of the world-building, and the significant character development of Katniss Everdeen. The conversation also explores themes of trust, survival, and the impact of choices, while comparing the film's narrative structure to other series. Ultimately, they reflect on the importance of middle installments in storytelling and how 'Catching Fire' sets the stage for the next chapter in the saga.----------Highlights:0:00 ‘Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Introduction7:58 Katniss Everdeen24:43 Coriolanus Snow & Plutarch42:00 Cinna45:00 Finnick Odair52:11 The Climax & Final Reveal58:07 Katniss's Character Arc1:07:15 Cliffhanger Films#katnisseverdeen #hungergames #catchingfire #finnickodair #alostplot

In Part II of his hard-hitting analysis, Andrew Parker continues his examination of how Minnesota has gone from a model of good governance to the epicenter of national outrage and unrest.This episode centers on the fatal shooting of a woman during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota and the political fallout that followed. Andrew breaks down the legal realities surrounding federal law enforcement authority, the dangers of state and local officials interfering with federal law, and how inflammatory rhetoric from progressive leadership has contributed to an increasingly volatile and lawless environment.Andrew challenges the narrative that enforcement itself is the problem, arguing instead that elections, the rule of law, and democratic processes are being undermined in favor of chaos, street politics, and selective outrage. He addresses the real human consequences of illegal immigration, the misuse of tragedy for political messaging, and the growing breakdown of order in Minneapolis.The episode also expands to foreign policy, comparing Democratic and Republican leadership on the world stage, with a sharp focus on Iran, the Middle East, Israel, and the stark contrast between Trump-era deterrence and decades of failed Democratic foreign policy.This is an unfiltered discussion about law, accountability, leadership, and the consequences of abandoning democratic norms—both at home and abroad.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

Wait, you're telling me that a $100 million plus acquisition just occurred in the North American protein bar market…and I've never once mentioned the brand name throughout its almost decadelong existence? That simply cannot be TRU! Though, before anyone tries to ignorantly throw dirt on my name…I'll finally reveal why I've been publicly ignoring TRUBAR! However, it was just announced that TRUBAR would be acquired by Eti Gida, a Turkish CPG company, for approximately $142.5 million. And if you were trying to understand the valuation…as of the 2025 third quarter closing (dated September 30, 2025), trailing twelve months revenue from the TRUBAR segment would be just shy of $61 million. So, this would imply a 2.3x trailing twelve-month revenue multiple. And this is why I suspect TRUBAR “retail investors” are unhappy with the M&A transaction, as it would mark what I believe to be one of the lowest revenue multiples in the last decade of the protein bars market. Yet, for several varied reasons…TRUBAR isn't ONE Brands, Quest Nutrition, FITCRUNCH, Barebells, Power Crunch, or a few other protein bar companies involved in recent M&A activity. Firstly, unlike the negative EBITDA (on a trailing twelve-month basis) at TRUBAR, these other protein bar companies actually made money. Next, while customers might enjoy the taste (and consumption experience) of TRUBAR products, there isn't anything differentiated about them. If you weren't familiar, protein bars are mostly a contract manufacturing “follow the leader” dominated category with a “sea of sameness” market composition. But even if TRUBAR differentiation could've been gained by form factor uniqueness (complexity), it still requires creating (or owning) the manufacturing process if a protein snacking company really hopes to secure longer-term defensibility (and competitive advantage). Then, with Big CPG jumping heavily into “protein-ified variants” of their leading snacking brands, it will further deepen the competitive landscape and transform “protein” into a battleground category as it proliferates across the entire grocery store. And you can argue that most of the beforementioned protein bars are dealing (at some level) with this same challenge (as the market evolves, expands, and segments further), but mainstream buyers don't know about TRUBAR. Yes, retail availability has grown substantially in recent years…and revenue growth has largely accompanied it, but TRUBAR still has an extremely low U.S. protein bars market share and brand household penetration percentage overall. But to understand if new ownership can materially improve the likelihood that TRUBAR will become culturally relevant with the next generation of modern protein snacking customers, I'll more closely examine Eit Gida...which is among the top CPG manufacturers based in Turkey (becoming well-known in multiple geographies across various bakery and snacking categories). Though, you might be wondering…why is a Turkish Big CPG strategic acquiring a relatively small Canadian public company selling plant-based protein bars mainly in the U.S. market? But more importantly if Eti Gida can really help TRUBAR carve out a distinct niche in the crowded North American protein bar market.

In this History of Prints episode, Tru and Ann look at the considerable output of British satirist James Gillray (1756–1857). Younger than William Hogarth by nearly sixty years, Gillray took Hogarth's social commentary, its energy, and caustic approach, and used his skills to skewer politicians and kings, laugh at Napoleon and his empire building, point out the absurdity of the fear of vaccines, and make clear the debauchery of public executions. In fact, he's now called the father of the political cartoon. With scary parallels to current events, Gillray's acerbic eye nails it every time.     You can listen to Platemark or watch a video version.

Yo, what's good, packaging people? Adam Peek here, and you know how we roll—we're diving deep into the real talk behind building a brand. On this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Jack McNamara and Yash Banthia, the co-founders of Tru Energy Drinks. These guys aren't just making a great-tasting, better-for-you beverage; they're building a brand with a purpose, and their story is a masterclass in hustle and smart business decisions.From the Dungeon to DrinkTru.comJack and Yash's journey is the kind of scrappy startup story you love to hear. We're talking about a a literal dungeon—the basement of a Jiu-Jitsu gym—and a mindset of relentless improvement. We got into the nitty-gritty of their brand's evolution, from the early days of a crazy-expensive, custom-designed shot bottle that customers didn't even understand, to their current sleek, pre-printed cans. It's a prime example of why you can't be afraid to kill your darlings and embrace change, even if it means moving away from your original, most "creative" idea.The Power of Packaging EvolutionThis is where the real value bombs were dropped. We broke down:* The Cost of Creativity: Why a custom-molded bottle wasn't the right move for them early on, and how tooling costs can crush a new brand's cash flow.* The Sprint to Scale: The massive leap from a small, local co-packer to a national one, and the significant 35% savings they unlocked by switching from shrink sleeves to pre-printed cans. This is a crucial lesson in understanding your supply chain and the economies of scale.* Reading the Room (and the Shelf): How a simple redesign, like moving the brand name to the top and adding a clear flavor stripe, can make all the difference in a competitive retail environment. We talked about consumer behavior and why you've got two seconds to communicate what your product is.Products with a PurposeOne of the coolest things about Tru is their commitment to giving back. I had to call them out for not leading with their charitable contributions—they're just out there doing good because it's the right thing to do. We discussed their partnership with the Trevor Project and how building a brand with a strong mission, even when you're not yet profitable, can be a huge motivator for the team.Big shout-out to Jack and Yash for their time and their transparency. If you're out there building a CPG brand, trying to figure out your packaging, or just need a dose of entrepreneurial inspiration, this episode is for you.Check out Tru's full product line at drinktru.com and grab a can or a powder pack to fuel your next big idea. Don't forget to look for them at stores like Market Basket, Wegmans, and H-E-B.And hey, if you're ever in Salt Lake City, hit up Harmons and tell 'em Adam sent you!
