It may be easy to see the wisdom of Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, who noted back in the 6th century BC, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." When the journey of a lifetime is measured not in distance, but in sensing and connecting with a universal source of purpose and potency, what is that single first step?We've explored throughout Current Openings the many facets and dimensions of the human development quest and challenge. From personal — transforming me — to the collective of together evolving ourselves through our relationships and communities, which in turn uplifts and transforms our world and humanity. All guided by the search for truth in a time of evolutionary change and new possibilities.So, the first step? We know from our Portalsjourney that the human is the only species on the planet with freedom of choice — the power to focus the full energy and creativity inherent in the human design in pursuit of an intention. Make a decision, and it starts to build the potency of one person being able to say, “I choose to do this.”We learn a lot more about the zones of human development in the new episode, #15, of Current Openings: What the World Doesn't Quite Get Yet, with Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis. Among their insights:Many amazing ponders and mysteries to explore. Which we do in this latest Homo Universalis conversation with Aviv Shahar and Portals friends Karen Heney and Kyriaki Nikandrou.Among their ideas and insights:Each one of us impacts the world by our actions, thoughts, and feelings, and the impacts can be greater or lesser depending upon how wholesome, or integrated, we are as individuals.The higher impulse is where we get to not just develop ourselves, but also get something else to help us develop us, an extra kind of larger power to tether, orchestrate, and sculpt who we are.Why do we keep recreating over and over the same painful inner stories or narratives, when an opportunity is available to redeem and absolve that pattern?Much of therapy is directed toward functioning within the bar of “normal” — being able to be a functioning member of society, and have a satisfactory life. However, normal is a pretty low bar.We can be partners in passion, which is exchanging energy, or become partners in purpose, and even higher to partners in evolution, where we look to help each other's spiritual journey.Collective development depends upon the level of personal development which is actually present. They're interconnected; you can't look at one without the other.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

And then, within the greater purpose of life, we each get a chance to first of all work on alleviating pain and suffering.

And then we may choose to work on the higher impulse, in Zone One, which I'm proposing as a starter place is to liberate my essence, to liberate my higher creational nature.” (Aviv)“One of the really interesting features of personal development, people tend to think of themselves as singular, like, ‘What do I want to do?' Well, if their ‘I' is based in their emotion on Tuesday, then they may want to go into a retreat, and they may want to try and make contact, as you said, with the divine. But then on Thursday a different part of their system, their mental system, may be in charge, and it's going, ‘Oh, my Lord, we're a bit short on cash.' And then an hour later, a different part of their system is in charge, and it's saying, ‘What's for dinner?' We're not singular - unless we do a great deal of deliberate work to become whole.” (David) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteCurrent Openings #15: The Four Development Zones

What's up folks, today we're extremely privileged to be joined by David Chan, Managing Director at Deloitte Digital.Summary: Keep a keen eye on the modular evolution of CDPs. Know that reverse ETL tools are tactical additions, not replacements. Expect to reevaluate the roles of older platforms in your martech stack as CDPs get smarter. And if your organization's data strategy resembles more of a herding cats scenario than a well-oiled machine, maybe it's time to look into that dual-zone approach. It's a way to make sure everyone from your IT folks to your marketing creatives are playing from the same strategic playbook.About David David started his journey with PepsiCo as a Data Strategy Analyst and progressed to a Senior Associate role at Accenture Interactive He then joined Deloitte Digital as a Senior Consultant where he worked his way up to Managing Director, leading their CDP practice and focusing on Marketing Transformation and Operations He possesses extensive knowledge in crafting real-time personalization strategies, blending Identity Resolution, Customer Data Platforms (CDP), AI/Machine Learning, Dynamic Content, and their interplay within the broader martech ecosystem At Deloitte, David also works with product engineering teams to develop assets using tech platforms like AWS, Snowflake, Adobe, Salesforce and many others. From Web Analytics to CDPs: David's Evolution in MartechWhen asked about his journey into the world of Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) and martech, David candidly revealed that CDPs were nowhere on his radar back in 2010. Those were the days when conversations in the marketing tech space revolved around web analytics, content management, and commerce systems. No one was losing sleep over data management; instead, the questions on everyone's lips were about the promise of mobile apps. Is mobile going to be a big deal? Will people actually shop on a tiny screen? David noted that his professional background was solidly rooted in digital marketing, with a focus on areas like web analytics and content management. He didn't venture into the data-centric world of CDPs until about five years ago. The pivot happened when Deloitte, where David was employed, made a strategic acquisition. For the first time, they brought a company into the fold that specialized in data and analytics, a capability entirely new to Deloitte's existing services. It was this event that nudged David to start integrating this newfound expertise into Deloitte's broader service portfolio. He shared that this acquisition was a sort of aha moment for him, leading him to delve deeper into the CDP arena. Before this, the martech issues that were top of mind for him and the industry were focused elsewhere. Now, with this new role, David began to consider how to marry data and analytics capabilities with existing digital marketing services. His career took a turn, opening up new avenues and challenges.At this point, David's journey becomes a testament to how quickly martech can pivot and evolve, but also a case study on the necessity of adaptability in one's career. David's path shows that sometimes, the most significant career shifts happen when you're willing to integrate new, emerging components into your existing skill set. Key Takeaway: David's shift from web analytics to CDPs didn't happen overnight but was catalyzed by a crucial acquisition at Deloitte. His career trajectory illustrates that being open to new opportunities, especially those that are tangential to your existing expertise, can make all the difference.The Future Isn't Unbundled, It's Composable: David's Take on CDPs When asked about his unique take on the future of CDPs, particularly as articulated in his article responding to claims that "CDPs are dead," David drew parallels to his earlier experiences in the world of commerce. According to him, before one could even talk about a composable CDP, it's crucial to understand headless commerce. Back around 2013-2015, headless commerce decoupled web content management from the more intricate logic of commerce tools. In simpler terms, the pretty face of the website was one tool; the behind-the-scenes grunt work of product listings and checkouts was another. David noted that this breaking apart into components wasn't just a neat trick—it was an evolution seen in various technologies, especially commerce. Fast-forward to CDPs today, and there's a glaring issue. While commerce tools have achieved a kind of "modular maturity," CDPs lag behind. The tools exist, but how they should integrate is still a murky question. There's no established standard or framework yet that guides how these diverse tools and features should come together in a seamless, unified way. He went on to clarify that this lack of standardization in the CDP landscape is what makes an unbundled approach impractical, for now. In contrast, the commerce space went through a period of consolidation and standardization that made headless systems not just possible but effective. The CDP space is in its infancy when it comes to this level of system integration. It's like trying to assemble a puzzle when half the pieces aren't just missing; they haven't even been made yet. David's outlook? We're not there yet, and no, his stance hasn't changed. There's a future where CDPs are as composable as lego sets, but the industry needs more time to harden its thoughts, develop standards, and agree on frameworks.Key Takeaway: The future of CDPs isn't about scrapping the concept, but refining it. The industry needs time to mature and adopt standards for how disparate CDP components should integrate seamlessly, much like what has happened in the commerce space. Until then, declaring CDPs dead is a bit premature.Why Composability Wins: The Power of Choice in CDPsWhen asked about the top benefit of choosing a composable route for CDPs, David cut to the chase: it's all about choice. Imagine subscribing to a cable package with hundreds of channels when you only watch a handful. You get stuck with a bunch of extras you don't really need. David likens this to package CDPs, which come pre-bundled with an array of features that may not align with individual business needs. Sure, the package deal may look appealing on the surface, but dig deeper and you find yourself with components that are more noise than signal. The compelling thing about composability is it allows companies to choose only what they actually need. This isn't just about being picky; it's about optimizing performance and cutting down on excess baggage. Yet, David also added a word of caution: composability isn't some magic elixir. As the industry is still in the early stages of this journey, composability can offer either the "best of both worlds" or the "worst of both worlds." In other words, you can cherry-pick the best elements, but if you're not cautious, you might end up with a mishmash of incompatible parts. Companies should keep in mind that the CDP landscape is still maturing. For now, the fully composable CDP is like a chef's tasting menu that's still in development. Sure, some dishes are ready to serve, but others need more time to cook to perfection. So where does this leave us? David's take is clear: the path to fully composable CDPs is an ongoing journey, one that requires both caution and a bit of adventurous spirit. And, crucially, more time.Key Takeaway: Composability in CDPs offers the critical advantage of choice. Yet, with the industry still in its infancy, that choice comes with a responsibility to be cautious. Your tech stack can be a well-curated collection of best-in-class tools or a disorganized jumble. The next few years will be key in shaping how this unfolds.Who's the Ideal Fit for Composable CDPs? The Tale of Two ExtremesWhen David was asked about the ideal type of company for implementing a composable Customer Data Platform (CDP), his answer highlighted two extreme cases: large enterprises and small digital-native startups. David emphasized that the real crux of any CDP project lies in how a company constructs identity. In the U.S., for example, identity often hinges on where you live. In China, a WhatsApp ID can serve as a robust identifier for all kinds of transactions.Large enterprises have often sunk years and millions into getting their data in order. They've typically built up a wealth of data in different domains, from customer and product to financial and supply chain. They've got data for days, but the problem? Making it easily accessible for the business user without relying on a constant back-and-forth with IT. In this case, the last 5%—making data accessible and actionable—is where they're most likely to stumble.Contrast that with small, digital-native startups. These companies usually don't have the historical tech debt that can bog down larger organizations. They have fewer requirements and a more straightforward path to achieving a composable CDP. They don't have to unify data across multiple physical and digital channels, making their overall project complexity much lower.David also offered insights into which industries might find composable CDPs most beneficial. Companies that are less omni-channel—think streaming services like Netflix or Hulu—have it easier. These platforms require user login and payment details upfront, practically solving the identity question from the get-go. They don't need to unify data across various channels, simplifying the process.Key Takeaway: Large enterprises and small startups occupy opposite ends of the spectrum but both can effectively leverage composable CDPs. The secret sauce lies in mastering the intricacies of identity data, whether you're a big fish in a big pond or a small fish in a fast stream. Know your advantages and tackle that 'last mile' with eyes wide open.The Realities of Unbundling CDPs Across Company SizesWhen asked about the new wave of unbundling Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) and the role of resources in both small and large companies, David brings up an interesting analogy. Think of your martech stack as a collection of rocks and pebbles. The bigger the company, the more rocks and pebbles you'll have to manage. In this world, rocks symbolize the larger, more complex tasks and pebbles are the smaller, nimbler operations.The scale isn't just about data; it's also about the entire ecosystem. Larger companies have to wade through the labyrinth of vendor management, procurement, and InfoSec reviews for each tool they add to their stack. Smaller shops, while nimble, are often resource-starved. They may find it challenging to handle even five to eight additional tools, which could be the entry-level requirement for a low-end, unbundled CDP.What's worth noting is the rise of specialized data teams in both small and large organizations. Unlike a decade ago, engineers focusing on product development are now complemented by a whole squad of data-focused folks. This shift isn't just a passing fad; it's a fundamental change. Organizations that embrace this development are more likely to effectively manage their CDPs and, by extension, their customer data.So, the question isn't whether CDPs are dead or not. It's about understanding the resources, both human and technological, that you need to manage them effectively. The complexity of managing these platforms should be considered from a total cost of ownership (TCO) standpoint. After all, implementing a CDP isn't a one-off project; it's an ongoing, living, breathing initiative.Key Takeaway: Whether you're a startup or a large enterprise, unbundling a CDP requires you to weigh resources against complexity. Before jumping into any CDP project, consider the TCO, not just the upfront costs. It's an ongoing commitment, not a one-time task.The Real Scope of Reverse ETL Tools in the CDP EcosystemWhen asked about the heated debate between Census and Hightouch over whether reverse ETL tools could replace traditional Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), David had a unique perspective. While Census believes in complementing existing CDPs and focuses on seamless integration, Hightouch claims it can completely replace legacy CDPs. David's articles generally align more with Census' viewpoint and he's actually moderated a panel discussion sponsored by Census and had the opportunity to connect with Boris, Census' founder. In David's view, Boris was not aiming to overthrow CDPs but focused on building solid technology that empowers data teams.David expressed skepticism about Tejas's bold claims that Hightouch could fully replace legacy CDPs. For David, such statements are a bit of a red herring. "What exactly does Tejas think a CDP is?" David questioned. Reverse ETL tools, he argued, represent just one component of a CDP. The notion that they could replace CDPs in totality is misleading, especially when these tools aren't responsible for a host of crucial functionalities like customer data infrastructure, data ingestion in real-time or batch and data transformations.David makes it clear that reverse ETL tools can integrate well with an existing data infrastructure, but they shouldn't claim to replace an entire CDP. He points out that even if Tejas would accept this line of reasoning, Hightouch's primary function is to plug into enterprise data warehouses. Their purpose is to simplify data queries for front-end users and facilitate connections to downstream martech, ad tech, and CRM systems, but that's far from a complete CDP solution.Key Takeaway: David debunks the notion that reverse ETL tools can fully replace CDPs. These tools might be powerful in what they do, but they're not an all-in-one solution for customer data management. Calling them a CDP replacement is not just an oversimplification; it's misleading.The Complexity and Potential of Reverse ETL in CDP EcosystemsIn our interview with Tejas, we asked him about how Hightouch compares to traditional CDPs, focusing on its functionalities and whether it could eventually take on the role of a full-fledged CDP. Tejas agreed that Hightouch doesn't currently offer all these features but didn't rule out adding them in the future. He mentioned that they've already started incorporating features like ID resolution and have a partnership for first-party data tracking with Snowplow and hinted at data ingestion features coming soon (which has since been released). While Hightouch is primarily a reverse ETL tool, Tejas argued that some enterprises have ditched their packaged CDPs in favor of Hightouch.David acknowledged that for enterprises that have already sorted their data collection and ETL needs, a reverse ETL tool like Hightouch could easily take on the role of a CDP in their minds. However, he stressed that Hightouch explicitly outlines on their website where they fit into the CDP landscape, making it clear they're not trying to play in every space.Diving deeper into the evolving CDP market, David reflected on how different tools are considering expansions into adjacent areas. For example, tag management systems have begun to offer data storage solutions, while others are contemplating adding web SDKs. According to David, this trend is likely to continue as companies strive to increase the value proposition of their solutions. Product teams are left with the strategic question of where to invest their time and resources for maximum impact.What caught David's attention was the concept of journey orchestration, an area still not fully grasped or well-executed in the industry. David argued that reverse ETL vendors, already proficient in data segmentation, could logically advance into the journey orchestration space, thereby increasing their value and utility.Key Takeaway: David believes the role of reverse ETL tools like Hightouch in the CDP ecosystem isn't set in stone. While they can serve as a CDP for some businesses, their real strength lies in the opportunity to expand into adjacent, high-impact functionalities, like journey orchestration. This ability to adapt and grow may well shape the future of CDPs and reverse ETL tools alike.The Changing Role of Segmentation and Journey Orchestration in the Martech StackWhen David was asked about the current transition in martech—where reverse ETL tools are challenging traditional customer engagement platforms on tasks like segmentation and journey orchestration—he framed it as a shift between "dumb hubs and smart spokes" versus "smart hubs and dumb spokes." According to David, there's a move toward centralizing the intelligence in the stack. In this scenario, the "hub," often a Customer Data Platform (CDP), would handle the heavy lifting of segmentation and data management. As a result, the other tools (the "spokes") would just execute the tasks they're fed, possibly becoming simpler and more specialized in their functions.David explained that legacy marketing platforms like Marketo and Braze have limitations when it comes to segmentation and data processing. Often, they run into performance issues due to the sheer volume of data, forcing users to simplify their segmentation logic or even causing timeouts. These older platforms were conceived before the rise of the modern CDP, which can handle complex segmentation and data management tasks more efficiently.The shift towards smart hubs is leading marketing cloud companies to invest in CDPs as a central nervous system for their various tools. David implies that as CDPs become increasingly capable, the need for complex segmentation logic in secondary tools may diminish. This will alter not just the technology but the entire structure and strategy of martech stacks across industries.However, this raises questions about the future role of traditional customer engagement platforms. If a lot of the complexity they were designed to handle is now managed earlier in the tech stack, what function will they serve moving forward? David suggests that we could see an industry-wide reevaluation of these platforms' roles and functionalities.Key Takeaway: As CDPs potentially evolve to become the "smart hubs" of the martech stack, handling additional features on top of complex segmentation and data management tasks, the importance of other tools like Customer Engagement Platforms may start to diminish. This has implications for the entire industry and could redefine what we expect from our marketing technology.Dual Zone Versus Hybrid in CDP: A Nuanced Take on Customer Data StrategyWhen asked about his unique "dual zone" concept for CDPs and how it contrasts with the more traditional hybrid approach, David agreed that companies like Acquia and ActionIQ are onto something by offering a range of configurations for their CDP products. The marketplace has shifted towards customization—nobody wants to buy a one-size-fits-all solution. While some companies call this a "hybrid" approach, David's take on dual-zone addresses a deeper, more nuanced issue: the rift between data producers (IT and data teams) and data consumers (marketing, sales, and service ops teams). The fundamental problem, he pointed out, isn't just about storage or composition. It's about breaking down the barriers between data producers and data consumers. Marketing, sales, and service teams often work in silos, unaware of the kind of data being generated or how to harness it. This lack of synergy creates a disconnect that the dual zone strategy aims to address.On the technical front, David stresses that a dual zone approach gives both sides—cloud-native data stores and SaaS platforms—specific roles to play.  Zone One focuses on ID resolution, data management, and heavy computational tasks.  Zone Two, on the other hand, takes care of customer engagement elements like journey orchestration and campaign activation.  Unlike a mere "hybrid" system, which might evolve into a "Frankenstack" of mismatched parts, dual zone is intentional. Every tool, every piece of tech, has its designated space and function.What really sets David's dual zone model apart is its purposefulness. It's not an amalgamation of technologies thrown together over time. It's a well-defined, clear-cut strategy that aims to balance workload efficiently between different zones. The end game? To ensure that the right data is available to the right teams at the right time, boosting operational efficiency and customer engagement in one fell swoop.Unlike the 'hybrid' systems that try to do a bit of everything, dual-zone forces you to be deliberate about what you're doing and why. For instance, identity resolution doesn't occur in just one zone. Zone one might provide a baseline identity, while zone two enhances it with device IDs, cookies, or IP addresses. This distinction, while subtle, is crucial. It prevents a mishmash of functionalities and ensures that you're not overbuying or overextending in either zone.Key Takeaway: David's dual-zone model is not just a conceptual pivot; it's a tactical framework designed to align your data strategy with business goals. By dissecting the data journey into two specialized zones, companies can achieve a rare balance—efficiency and effectiveness, without unnecessary complexities.Championing Asian American Awareness in Corporate AmericaWhen asked about his role as an executive sponsor and co-founder of the SES and East Asian Leadership Network, David candidly shared his upbringing and motivations. Born in Brooklyn to immigrant parents, David faced his share of challenges, including racism, while navigating the complexities of life in a metropolitan city. Despite achieving career success, he's also experienced a changing perception of safety amidst rising hate crimes against Asian Americans—a stark contrast to his previous comfort and confidence in his own city.David's work at Deloitte brought to light a glaring issue. Though the firm focuses on underrepresented minorities, Asians had often been left out of that categorization. David's push for the creation of the SES and East Asian Leadership Network stems from the understanding that Asians, while possibly not underrepresented in certain corporate environments, face unique challenges tied to cultural values and norms. The clash between Western and Eastern cultures, he noted, can sometimes hinder career advancement for Asians, putting them at a disadvantage.The primary objective of David's group is not merely representation, but genuine empowerment. He emphasized the importance of mentoring younger professionals in the firm to help them succeed authentically, without losing their true selves in the process. David clarified that success doesn't just mean climbing the corporate ladder within the company; he celebrates even if they find their path elsewhere.Key Takeaway: David's advocacy for Asian American awareness is far from a corporate checkbox; it's a mission rooted in personal experience and an intimate understanding of the unique struggles faced by Asians in America. His approach redefines the term 'underrepresented' to capture not just numbers, but the nuances of cultural collisions and barriers to true equality.The Realities of Balancing Success and HappinessWhen asked about how he balances his busy life—juggling roles as a managing director, executive sponsor, co-founder, and husband—David offered a candid perspective. He doesn't claim to have found a magical formula for balance. Instead, he talks about making trade-offs. It's a conscious decision to allocate time and energy, whether it's toward family, work, or friendships. The trick, according to David, is to make these choices without harboring regret.A critical element that keeps David motivated is his love for his job, a passion rooted in his early career aspirations and influenced by his parents, who were small business owners. David saw consulting as a learning opportunity, a means to understand the intricacies of running a business before launching his own. Over time, he found that Deloitte offered the kind of autonomy that scratched his entrepreneurial itch. He relished the freedom to build his own teams while aligning with broader corporate mandates.This enthusiasm for his work isn't just an isolated experience. David revels in the discussions and dialogues that occur in his professional life, especially the learning aspect. His thirst for knowledge isn't merely for personal growth; it feeds into his approach with clients. David frequently tells his clients, "My pain is your gain," underscoring that his own experiences, both successful and otherwise, serve as valuable lessons for others.Key Takeaway: David's approach to the often-asked question of work-life balance shatters the illusion of perfection. Instead, he emphasizes the reality of trade-offs and the importance of living without regret. His zest for learning and the job at hand serves as a pillar that helps him navigate through these trade-offs, enriching not just himself but those around him.Episode recapIn a rapidly evolving martech landscape, CDPs are shifting from the fringes to become the central nervous system of data strategy. But let's get one thing straight: CDPs are at a teenage stage. They're moody, hard to predict, and just like headless commerce a few years ago, they haven't reached their full potential. It's a space where caution and choice co-exist. You can choose your own adventure, selecting modules like you're shopping a la carte, but make no mistake—without standards, that liberty could get messy.As CDPs step up, reverse ETL tools like Hightouch that claimed to be a "next best thing" need to be put in perspective. They're good, but not the CDP-killer some might think. They fill gaps but aren't equipped to manage the panorama of tasks a full-fledged CDP can. While they integrate neatly into an existing architecture, they're not an architecture unto themselves.Now, while CDPs are getting sharper and more intelligent, it doesn't mean every tool in your stack should or will. Platforms like Marketo are being forced to simplify; they're turning into role players rather than MVPs. The CDP is emerging as the LeBron James on your martech team, orchestrating plays and setting up others to score.Here's where David's concept of a "dual-zone" CDP strategy adds another layer of finesse. It's not just about intelligent data collection and customer engagement. It's a targeted approach to breaking down the silos that often keep data producers and consumers in an organization from truly collaborating. This isn't your average 'hybrid' model that clumsily tries to be everything. It's a fine-tuned system that ensures the right hand knows what the left hand is doing, enhancing operational efficiency and customer engagement in one coherent, strategic sweep.Keep a keen eye on the modular evolution of CDPs. Know that reverse ETL tools are tactical additions, not replacements. Expect to reevaluate the roles of older platforms in your martech stack as CDPs get smarter. And if your organization's data strategy resembles more of a herding cats scenario than a well-oiled machine, maybe it's time to look into that dual-zone approach.

Time travel may not be possible, but two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Colson Whitehead transports readers back to the 1970s with the latest edition in his Harlem Saga.  The second in a trilogy that began with the successful Harlem Shuffle, Crook Manifesto blends dark elements with humor to feature the gritty realities in New York City's complex history. From Blaxploitation films, America's Bicentennial Celebrations, and the Jackson Five, Whitehead shows popular culture as it was five decades ago, to high crime rates, social unrest, swelling racial tension, and anti-police sentiment that seem to mirror life today. The novel is an unembellished exploration of harsh truths. Yet in between the corruption, theft, violence, and a motley crew of hustlers and hitmen is Whitehead's perhaps unexpected exploration into the meaning of family, adding greater depth to the narrative. Colson Whitehead's kaleidoscopic portrait of Harlem explores a city under siege and a turbulent decade, told through the eyes of a colorful cast over multiple years. Fans of this novel's predecessor will appreciate the reprisal of earlier characters and familiar situations, and new readers may be drawn to Crook Manifesto's unique blend of dark comedy, caper, and commentary on the urban landscape. Colson Whitehead is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad, which in 2016 won the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction and the National Book Award and was named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review. Other books include The Noble Hustle, Zone One, Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, Apex Hides the Hurt, and The Colossus of New York. He is also a Pulitzer Prize finalist and a recipient of the MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowships. He lives in New York City. Robert Sindelar has been a bookseller for over 32 years. He is the Managing Partner of Third Place Books (est. 1998), an independent bookstore with 3 locations in the greater Seattle area.

It was one year ago today that Vladimir Putin's Russia invaded Ukraine and began the bombing. It's been a horrific year for the people of Ukraine, who did nothing to provoke that monster. But a year later, they're still taking incoming fire, living without reliable power and under the constant warnings of sirens. Yet the people are strong and aren't willing to give an inch. Today, we'll look back on a year ago, and our calls to people in Ukraine. I'll share one with a hotel clerk in Kyiv who didn't believe that forces were amassing on the border getting ready to attack. And we'll check in with Philip Ittner. He's an American journalist who's been in Ukraine for the past year, and says he'll be there until the war ends!

This summer marks a decade since the 2012 Olympics - a moment of national pride when London represented Britain on the global stage. Ten years on from those Olympian heights, the capital is struggling. Scarred by the pandemic and entrenched inequality, London faces challenges which are often overlooked or ignored. Meanwhile a cultural backlash, an anti-Londonism, threatens a crisis of confidence - at a time when the city's success looks far from guaranteed. London expert Dr Jack Brown, who was born and still lives in the Olympic borough of Waltham Forest, talks to fellow residents about life in the capital. He hears from those who defy the 'liberal metropolitan elite' stereotypes - those who stay local and rarely, if ever, venture into Zone One, those of deep faith, and the gentrifiers who now can't afford their rent. He asks why London has attracted, magnet-like, so many negative associations, and how views of the city might change. Can London recapture the spirit of 2012? Can capital and country be at ease again? Producer: Emily Craig Executive producer: Leala Padmanabhan

Show #1402 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of information. It's Saturday 12th March, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. TAVARES CONFIDENT THAT STELLANTIS CAN CATCH UP WITH TESLA - Stellantis (STLA.MI) should be able to catch up with electric vehicle pioneer Tesla (TSLA.O) in the coming years, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Friday, adding that competition would benefit consumers. - Tavares also called for greater investment in charging networks in Europe and the United States to encourage drivers to switch to electric vehicles. Original Source : https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tavares-confident-that-stellantis-can-catch-up-with-tesla-2022-03-11/ CCS RETROFIT KIT FOR MODEL 3/Y APPEARS IN TESLA PARTS CATALOG - Tesla launched a new CCS1 adapter in South Korea last year, announcing shortly thereafter that it would eventually be coming to North America. - Tesla added new information to the in-car display to know if you had the hardware required for your car to work with the CCS charging standard. - Generally cars built in late 2019 or early 2020 or later had the message “CCS enabled,” while cars built prior to that date had the message “Not Installed.” - While we still wait for the CCS adapter to appear in the North American Tesla Shop, a retrofit kit has been added to the Tesla Parts Catalog. The part number (1652004-00-A) is listed for both the Model 3 and Model Y, while there is a second part number (1652005-00-A) listed just for the Model 3. - When Tesla released the retrofit in Europe, it was initially offered at €500 ($965 CAD), which included the adapter itself. The price was later dropped to €299 ($416 CAD). Original Source : https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/ccs-retrofit-kit-appears-in-tesla-parts-catalog/ VAN HOOL DOUBLE-DECKER ELECTRIC BUS WITH PROTERRA BATTERY DRIVES 2,500 MILES from Florida to California on public chargers - North American motor coach seller ABC Companies has announced another successful trip across the US, this time using a Van Hool TDX25E all-electric bus. The double-decker motor coach was “Proterra Powered” and traveled 2,524 miles from Winter Garden, Florida, to Costa Mesa, California, using only public charging stations. - the TDX25E – a 100% electric, 69-passenger double-decker bus. It's the first of its kind to become available in the US, and the largest electric passenger vehicle on the road today, according to ABC Companies. - ABC Companies shared details of its latest (and longest) demonstration drive in a recent press release. The double-decker Van Hool electric bus was provided by ABC Companies and is powered by a Proterra battery system, delivering a storage capacity of 676 kWh. - Empire Coach Line provided the driver for the cross country drive that began at ABC's HQ in Winter Garden, Florida. Over the course of six days, the TDX25E bus traversed 2,524 miles of US roads, reaching elevations over 5,000 feet and averaging 260 miles per charge before reaching the finish line at ABC's Costa Mesa facility in California.

But we look at NASCAR as a place where, in an ideal world, it would be all things to all people. If you went to a NASCAR event weekend, you could see whatever types of technologies you wanted throughout a race weekend." - While there aren't any plans for the top NASCAR Cup Series to go all-electric, the Next Gen cars that were launched this year were future-proofed to accommodate hybrid powertrain that O'Donnell had previously said could be used as soon as 2024. They'd likely first be featured on short ovals and road courses where their regenerative braking systems could recover energy as the cars slow down for corners which would then be used by the electric motor for a burst of acceleration.

Business drivers can't afford time or associated risks of finding and using a public charging point, with many of these also not being suitable for larger vehicles or e-vans to use. - With FleetCharge, JustPark will find a local homeowner with a driveway within a five-minute walk of the EV driver, install a home charger and give said fleet driver exclusive access to that charging point. - Through FleetCharge, all the upfront EV charging installation costs are covered, but it could potentially earn the hosts a guaranteed additional income of £1,000 a year – all tax-free. Original Source : https://electriccarsreport.com/2022/03/justparks-innovative-fleetcharge-program-could-earn-uk-homeowners-1000-a-year-and-unlock-new-method-of-ev-fleet-charging/ MERCEDES-BENZ ESTABLISHES SUSTAINABLE BATTERY RECYCLING - Mercedes-Benz rolls out its global strategy for recycling automotive battery systems - The project is intended to set standards in terms of battery recycling from an ecological point of view: the process design of the patented hydrometallurgy with recovery rates of more than 96 percent is expected to allow a holistic circular economy of battery materials. - Construction of the plant is in two stages. Initially, a plant for mechanical dismantling will be constructed by 2023. As a second step - subject to promising discussions with the public sector - the facilities for hydrometallurgical processing of the battery materials are to go into operation. This means that in the future, Kuppenheim could cover all the stages from dismantling to module level, shredding and drying and subsequent processing of battery-grade material flows.

Uber is investing £5 million in the chargers, which will be branded by Uber but available for all drivers to use. - The aim is for the new on-street charging points to improve access for those without driveways or home chargers. Uber says it will be working with the boroughs to determine where the chargers should best be installed. An Uber spokesperson told electrive that the chargers will be in the ground in 2023. - This time last year, Uber launched its ‘Uber Green' EV-only option, initially in London's Zone One. Now, Uber says it will expand this option to the whole of the city – meaning that riders will be able to request an electric vehicle from anywhere in the city for the same price as a normal UberX. To incentivise the drivers, Uber ensures that they earn 13% more when taking trips on Uber Green.

Colson Whitehead is the only novelist to win a Pulitzer Prize for consecutive books: The Underground Railroad, now a television miniseries directed by Oscar-winner Barry Jenkins, and The Nickel Boys. His novels span a wide range of genres, including satire (Apex Hides the Hurt), post-apocalyptic zombie horror (Zone One), and an autobiographical coming-of-age story (Sag Harbor, which is slated for an HBO adaptation produced by Laurence Fishburne). With his highly-anticipated new heist novel, Harlem Shuffle, Whitehead tries his hand at yet another literary category. On September 17, 2021, Colson Whitehead talked to Alexis Madrigal about his writing before an audience at the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco, the first live on-stage program for City Arts & Lectures since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bruce helps advance the question what the term “literary” means. Is it a commercial label? Is it a publishing market category for how to put similar books together in a bookstore? Class distinction or participation is one way to look, but so is technical accomplishment. In any case, learning to write seems a noble (and spiritual) way to squander your time as well as a social network, and Bruce has been amazing over a long and fruitful career as both a writer and educator. … Continue...Episode 92 – Interview with Bruce Holland Rogers

In this episode Christian is joined by Nigel Wilson, chief executive of Legal and General, a City institution with more than £1 trillion of assets under management. Nigel talks about L&G's long-term view and how its investments could shape our recovery and future economic growth, but he also reflects on the immense change that the pandemic has brought to his company, the City and all urban centres. He remains optimistic about London's future, but says getting people back into offices will be key — even if it's just for two or three days a week. He says "our culture will erode" without the collaboration and creativity that comes from having people work together, and our city centres will suffer without at least a modest return of the office. Also in this episode, Christian talks about City A.M.'s new 'back to the office' campaign, which seeks to contribute to a debate about the merits and wisdom of working from home at a time when our business districts are suffering from a catastrophic decline in footfall. The effects of the pandemic have meant that even as London's outer zones return to economic vitality, central London remains eerily quiet as commuters shun public transport and employers struggle to bring people back into offices. Without a doubt, the pandemic will change the way a lot of us work — almost entirely for the better. More flexibility and greater personal autonomy will be welcome changes for a lot of people. But the sudden and near total disappearance of people from our city centres is having a devastating effect on local economies and, over time, our social fabric. City A.M. believes that employers must start to implement innovative, risk-assessed ways of bringing more people back into central London and Canary Wharf. People can work one, two or three days at the office without overloading the transport system and without giving up their newly forged relationship with work. Business groups, City leaders and the mayor of London have all backed our call to save central London, and this can only be achieved if the scenes now evident on the high streets of Clapham, Hampstead, Chiswick and Greenwich are replicated in Zone One.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In honour of National Reading Group Day and World Refugee Day, we discuss The Beekeeper of Aleppo, the bestselling novel by Christy Lefteri.  It's a heartrending and important novel. The story of Nuri and Afra, a devastated couple forced to flee their home in Aleppo in the hopes of reaching safety in the UK. Harrowing and haunting, it's a must read. But did it make for a good discussion book? Is there any hope amid the heartbreak? Listen in to find out. We sat down to discuss it with special guest and fellow podcast host Anna Baillie Karas of Books on the Go. * If you'd like to be more involved, Christy Lefteri suggests at the end of her book that you seek out the following organisations: Open Cultural Centre, an NGO and education project in northern Greece Faros (The Lighthouse), a Christian non-profit providing humanitarian care in Athens Salusbury World, a charity supporting refugees in the UK. The Buzz Project, a Yorkshire charity founded by the Syrian apiarist Professor Ryad Alsous. * Books mentioned in this episode: The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri No Friend but the Mountains by Behrouz Boochani The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan Disoriental by Negar Djavadi I Will Never See the World Again by Ahmet Altan What Is The What by Dave Eggers Cleanness by Garth Greenwell How Much of These Hills Is Gold by C Pam Zhang The Nickel Boys and Zone One by Colson Whitehead Simon the Fiddler and The News of the World by Paulette Jiles Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke Au Revoir, Tristesse by Viv Groskop * Follow us on Instagram or Facebook @BookClubReviewPodcast, on Twitter @bookclubrvwpod, or email thebookclubreview@gmail.com.  Subscribe to us on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode.

Coming at you in person, Matt & Adrian sat down in the same room to record an episode about Colson Whitehead's post-apocalyptic literary novel, Zone One (https://amzn.to/2MR1hZT). We loved this book, and had in particular have a lot to say about its relationship to other apocalyptic literary fiction, the ways the novel discusses, analogizes, and interacts with depression & PTSD, and New York City in literature and reality.

Sorry for the late episode this week! Real-life travel has made editing & publishing more difficult than expected. The episode's editing might be a bit rough around the edges for that as well. However, we have a really fun episode discussing Colson Whitehead's novel Zone One, a litfic novel about a man clearing zombies out of Manhattan after the apocalypse. We discuss the history of zombie movies & books, lightly touch on the problematic cultural history of zombies (which you can hear more about in our episodes with Mendez Hodes), and spend a lot of time discussing what makes a B movie. It was a really fun episode to record, and we hope you enjoy it, outtakes and all. --- As always, we'd love to hear from you!

In 2007, three partners came together to take bike fitting to another level. Cliff Simms was a medical device engineer who had come up with a prototype of the 3-D bike fit system and Todd Carver was a bike racer and bike fit expert who knew how to apply the technology to help cyclists get the most out of their body and bike performance. Franko Vatterott was the third partner who was selling high altitude tents at the time, but knew how to market and sell the ground breaking 3-D fit technology. Their business plan intended to bring the system to market, make it the most in-demand and respected bike fitting system, and then eventually sell it to a major bicycle company. In September of 2012, the trio sold RETUL to Specialized and now Todd Carver is the Head of Human Performance at Specialized and Cliff Simms is the Head of the RETUL division. Franko Vatterott is the Founder of The Human Interest Group, agency for developing brands and partnerships like RETUL, Sansego and others. Welcome back.

A Case for Zone 1 - by Laura Marcoux https://d3multisport.com/d3-university/article/a-case-for-zone-1   Based on article in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance   Purpose: To describe training loads during an Ironman training program based on intensity zones and observe training–performance relationships. Methods: Nine triathletes completed a program with the same periodization model aiming at participation in the same Ironman event. Before and during the study, subjects performed ramp-protocol tests, running, and cycling to determine aerobic (AeT) and anaerobic thresholds (AnT) through gas-exchange analysis. For swimming, subjects performed a graded lactate test to determine AeT and AnT. Training was subsequently controlled by heart rate (HR) during each training session over 18 wk. Training and the competition were both quantified based on the cumulative time spent in 3 intensity zones: zone 1 (low intensity; AnT). Results: Most of training time was spent in zone 1 (68% ± 14%), whereas the Ironman competition was primarily performed in zone 2 (59% ± 22%). Significant inverse correlations were found between both total training time and training time in zone 1 vs performance time in competition (r = –.69 and –.92, respectively). In contrast, there was a moderate positive correlation between total training time in zone 2 and performance time in competition (r = .53) and a strong positive correlation between percentage of total training time in zone 2 and performance time in competition (r = .94). Conclusions: While athletes perform with HR mainly in zone 2, better performances are associated with more training time spent in zone 1. A high amount of cycling training in zone 2 may contribute to poorer overall performance.   If the Bike Fits: RETUL bike fits measure angle and motion distance within the accuracy of A) Centimeter; B) Millimeter; C) Micrometer RETUL fits include digital measurements for A) Bike; B) Saddle; C) Foot beds; D) Helmets; E) All Above; F) A-C True or False, RETUL Match captures your measurements with sub-millimeter accuracy for capturing foot size, arch height, and different body segment lengths   A Case for Zone 1: The article "A Case for Zone One and it's foundational article in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance is based on A) 3 training zones; B) 5 training zones, or C) 7 training zones? True or False - Training below Aerobic Threshold (AeT) is most effective when paired with minimal training above Anaerobic Threshold (AnT)? Doing the majority of your training below Aerobic Threshold showed a statistically significant improvement for subject athletes competing Ironman at A) Below Aerobic Threshold; B) Above AeT, but below AnT; C) Above AnT   YouTube Video of the Week is sponsored by Rudy Project.

Colson Whitehead, is the author of Zone One; Sag Harbor; The Intuitionist, a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award; John Henry Days, which won the Young Lions Fiction Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; and Apex Hides the Hurt, winner of the PEN Oakland Award. Colson is interviewed by Kobo's Nora Parker about his latest book, The Underground Railroad, which is an Oprah's Book Club pick. Whitehead's decision to play with the quirky premise of “what if the underground railroad was a real railroad?” The navigation of research and how it gets interwoven into the fiction; but the fact that this is not a historical novel and that it doesn't stick to any real world chronology The freeing aspect of not being beholden to reality when crafting a novel The manner by which the novel addresses the two opposing viewpoints and biases that take the same passage(s) from the bible and use it to either oppose or support slavery The choice of the opening setting in North Carolina and the different arenas for Cora to be tested, and how that allowed for the examination of different types of racism and social structures The concepts of racism in pre-Civil War America to the concepts of racism as it exists today in modern America The historic use of rendering of dialect in the dialogue between white and black characters compared to how it is done in this novel The music Whitehead listens to while writing, when he listens to Purple Rain from Prince and Debut Nation from Sonic Youth and how David Bowie is in every book How Whitehead felt about being selected for the Oprah Book Club The adept characterization and relationships of the kids in Whitehead's novel Sag Harbor and how the characters evolved from inspiration from real people into their own unique fictional characters within the novel KWL Director Mark Lefebvre talks about the concept of writers listening to music while working and then asks KWL listeners to share their own habits and practices when it comes to listening to (or not listening to) music or other ambient noises while writing.

Like so many Americans, I'm a big fan of the undead. I look forward to a night of nail-biting when a new episode of The Walking Dead airs and I get excited when Hollywood gears up for the next big-budget film featuring zombie hordes. I also love those rarer literary takes on the undead, such as Colson Whitehead's Zone One, and I even published my own riff on the genre entitled The Cliffs, which imagines what those familiar zombies might do in the Appalachian foothills where I live. If you share my enthusiasm for people not quite alive and not quite dead and, well, not quite people, you're in for a post-Halloween treat. Medieval historian and former grave-digger Scott Bruce has assembled an anthology of tales about the undead that shows were not alone. Readers have been fascinated by spirits, ghosts, apparitions, demons, and zombies since the start of Western literature. Bruce's anthology, The Penguin Book of the Undead: Fifteen Hundred Years of Supernatural Encounters (Penguin, 2016) begins with Homer's Odyssey and ends with Hamlet, but between those classic stories, he gives us selections from a vast and surprising range of sources: histories, hagiography, personal letters, theological treaties, sagas, and collections of miracles and marvels. In these selections, which are by turns fascinating, surprising, heartbreaking and sometimes freaky, the undead have never been so fresh, so lively. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I correct a mistake I made in talking about heart rate zone training.  As part of a series starting with this episode I'm talking about training, today I talked about Zone 1 and it's importance, as well as recovery rides. My main resource for training comes from a climbing training book, because I believe the cardio loads, and full body fitness requirements are very similar to high performance alpine rock and ice climbing: Long days where endurance and strength are tested in critical situations.  Here's the book: Training for the New Alpinism

We were having so much fun in episode fourteen that we ran a little long again, but I’m sure you won’t mind listening to a little extra from these great guests, each of whom brought a really interesting selection. We start with comedian Lou Perez, who brings us Zone One by Colson Whitehead. A recent entry into the zombie fiction genre from one of contemporary literature’s brightest stars, this book sounds like a must read for fans of either the zombie genre or just great writing. Next up, we talk to rapper/comedian Zach Sherwin about the ground breaking work of Jorge Luis Borges, as well as his own ground breaking work in burgeoning the field of hip hop/comedy crossover. It’s a fun conversation that leads us seamlessly into a discussion of our final book, the indelible dystopian classic, 1984 by George Orwell. Comedian Brody Reed shares with us his love for this book that spoke to him as a young man, as it does to so many of us who encounter it during our formative high school years. As relevant today as it was when it was released, if not more so than it ever was, this book is one of the all time greats, and deserving of my highest praise as a host, a “humdinger”. Zombies, Big Brother, and Music! It sure makes for a hell of a show. ENJOY!

Whitehead, the bestselling author of Zone One and an amateur player, lucked into a seat at the biggest card game in town—the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. In this raucous social satire—equally exhilarating for those who’ve played cards their whole life or who have never picked up a hand—he chronicles the gritty subculture of high-stakes Texas Hold-em.*Click here to see photos from the program!

Host David Naimon speaks with award-winning writer Colson Whitehead about his new novel Zone One, described as a “wry take on the post-apocalyptic horror novel.” The world has been devastated by a plague. There are two types of survivors: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. Colson Whitehead is the author […] The post Colson Whitehead : Zone One appeared first on Tin House.

In MacArthur Award-winning Whitehead's satiric take on the post-apocalyptic horror novel, a plague has sorted humanity into two types: the infected and the uninfected, the living and the living dead.

The Twilight Zone is a television anthology series created (and often written) by its narrator and host Rod Serling. Each episode (156 in the original series) is a self-contained fantasy, science fiction, or horror/terror story, often concluding with an eerie or unexpected twist. Although advertised as science fiction, the show rarely offered scientific explanations for its fantastic happenings and often, if not always, had a moral lesson that pertained to everyday life. The program followed in the tradition of earlier well written radio programs such as The Weird Circle and X Minus One. A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to serious science fiction ideas through television and also through a wide variety of Twilight Zone literature. The success of this original series led to the creation of two revival series (a cult hit series that ran for several seasons on CBS and in syndication in the '80s, and a short-lived UPN series that ran early in the new millennium), a feature film, a radio series, a comic book, a magazine and various other spinoffs that would span five decades. Writers for The Twilight Zone included leading genre authorities such as Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Jerry Sohl, George Clayton Johnson, Earl Hamner Jr., Reginald Rose and Ray Bradbury. Many episodes also featured adaptations of classic stories by such writers as Ambrose Bierce, Lewis Padgett, Jerome Bixby and Damon Knight.
