Most people take it for granted that buying land means owning everything on it and under it. In Oklahoma, that assumption can cost you thousands of dollars and years of legal headaches. Mineral rights and surface rights are two separate legal estates, and they don’t always belong to the same owner.

Ghorashal is not broken. It sits idle because the gas that would feed it is rationed to homes, fertilizer plants and industry first, and there is rarely enough left over. It shares that fate with dozens of other stations.

A condition report comes in on a Tuesday afternoon — a technician noticed a valve seeping slightly more than usual during a routine walkdown. By Thursday, it’s gone. Not resolved, not closed with corrective action — cancelled. No note, no justification, just an empty status change in the system. The supervisor reviewing the weekly CAP queue has no way of knowing whether that report was a duplicate, a mistaken entry, or a real issue that someone decided wasn’t worth pursuing.

For much of the artificial intelligence boom, the processor conversation has followed a relatively straightforward narrative. AI required enormous amounts of computing power, GPUs became the engine behind that growth, and competition centered largely on which companies could deliver greater performance. That era is beginning to change as artificial intelligence expands into more industries, applications, devices, and operating environments.

Many business proprietors consider duty of care when it’s too late. In reality, duty of care is a legal and ethical responsibility that arises as soon as you welcome employees, clients, or vendors onto your premises, and it’s as applicable to security issues as it is to a hazardous surface or a malfunctioning fire door.

What happens when a jury has to decide whether a medical device manufacturer followed proper safety protocols, without anyone in the room having a background in medical devices? The case can hinge entirely on whether someone can translate that technical reality into something the court can actually evaluate. That’s precisely the gap a medical expert witness is brought in to close, and getting that translation right can shape the entire outcome of a case.
A corrective action program is only as good as the condition reports that feed it. Every trend identified, every root cause pursued, and every corrective action implemented traces back to the raw material an assessor, manager, or frontline employee captured the moment a condition was observed. When that raw material is vague, incomplete, or sloppily […]

Commercial buildings bring people, electrical equipment, stored materials, heat sources, and changing business activities together in one place. A small ignition source can become a major emergency when fuel is nearby, exits are blocked, or protective systems are not ready to operate.
