Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. We spend millions of dollars on athlete contracts,
but how much time do we spend auditing their neural
resilience their nervous system. I have a new podcast called
Logical Leadoff and we go beyond the highlights. Whether it's
the high volatility ecosystem of the San Diego Padres, or
the identity moratorium of Mike Tyson, or how certain basketball
players use reading body language. We use clinical psychology to
understand why the legends do what they do. It's had
to move past the noise and look at the data.

authorities have charged four individuals, including two Chinese nationals, and
a sophisticated espionage operation uncovered in the quiet village of
Comblanis at Maynac, It's fifteen miles southeast of the case
began on January thirtieth, when local residents noticed a roughly
two meter wide parabolic satellite dish being installed in the
garden of a house rented through Airbnb. The installation coincided
with a temporary internet outage in the area, promoting suspicions
that were quickly reported to authorities. Francis Domestic Intelligence Agency
launched an investigation, and on the thirty first of January,
officers raided the property, seizing a computer system connected to
the satellite dishes and other equipment capable of intercepting satellite transmissions.

and leading to the arrest of four men. The Paris
prosecutors announced on February fifth at the suspects, two nationals
from China, along with two others suspected of assisting, were
placed under formal investigation for delivering information to a former
foreign party. Investigators allege to the group aimed to capture
and transmit data from the Starlink satellite network operated by
Elon Musk. The set up reportedly allowed in interception of
exchanges involving military communications. The Geron Department, encompassing Bordeaux nearby
aerospace hubs, has long drawing espionage concerns due to the
proximity to defense contractors, airbus facilities, and other high tech
sites central to France's aeronautics, space and military industries. Intelligence
experts note that southwest France, between Bordeaux and Tulos, has
become a recurring target for foreign intelligence operations in recent years.
