DCV-TV launches enhanced upload for viewer-contributed content

New functionality makes uploading videos to DC VELOCITY 's DCV-TV website easier than ever.

Adding your videos to the largest online archive of logistics- and supply chain-specific content just got easier. AGiLE Business Media, publisher of DC VELOCITY and its DCV-TV streaming video website, has unveiled several enhancements to DCV-TV Channel 4, its showcase for viewer-contributed content, sometimes described as "YouTube for the logistics and supply chain market."

"This enhanced video upload function provides greater functionality and some very useful account management and post-upload editing capability for all users," says Jeff Thacker, AGiLE's director of e-media. For example, viewers may now upload videos with a file size of up to 100MB. In addition, all videos can now run without a Flash plug-in and are therefore viewable on Apple iOS-based devices such as the iPhone and the iPad. Finally, the upgrade offers a greatly improved video interface, including better account management features and a username- and password-recovery system.


"This is a great opportunity to gain further exposure for our audience's and advertisers' video offerings," says Mitch Mac Donald, president and CEO of AGiLE, and group editorial director for DC VELOCITY. "Since its launch over four years ago, DCV-TV has aggregated the market's largest and most comprehensive archive of logistics- and supply chain-related video content. This includes not only our own editorial content, which we stream via DCV-TV Channel 1, but also content from our readers and advertisers, who to date have added over 1,500 of their own videos to DCV-TV Channel 4." Other DCV-TV channels are devoted to hosting the DCV-TV webcast archive (Channel 2), and video case studies (Channel 3).

Viewers can upload their content to DCV-TV Channel 4 at no charge and make it immediately available to an audience of over 50,000 executive-level logistics and supply chain decision-makers.

Straight talk on supply chains and the economy: An interview with Jason Schenker

After a dismal 2023, the U.S. economy finished 2024 in pretty good shape—inflation was in retreat, transportation fuel costs had fallen, and consumer spending remained strong. As we begin the new year, there’s a lot about the economy to like, says acclaimed economist Jason Schenker. But that’s not to suggest he views the future with unbridled optimism. As the year unfolds, he says he’ll be keeping a wary eye on several geopolitical and supply chain risks that have the potential to spoil the party.

Schenker, who serves as president of Prestige Economics and chairman of The Futurist Institute, is considered one of the best economic minds in the business. Bloomberg News has ranked him the #1 forecaster in the world in 27 categories since 2011. LinkedIn named him an official “Top Voice” in 2024, and almost 1.3 million students have taken his LinkedIn Learning courses on economics, finance, risk management, and leadership.

From pingpong diplomacy to supply chain diplomacy?

There’s a photo from 1971 that John Kent, professor of supply chain management at the University of Arkansas, likes to show. It’s of a shaggy-haired 18-year-old named Glenn Cowan grinning at three-time world table tennis champion Zhuang Zedong, while holding a silk tapestry Zhuang had just given him. Cowan was a member of the U.S. table tennis team who participated in the 1971 World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya, Japan. Story has it that one morning, he overslept and missed his bus to the tournament and had to hitch a ride with the Chinese national team and met and connected with Zhuang.

Cowan and Zhuang’s interaction led to an invitation for the U.S. team to visit China. At the time, the two countries were just beginning to emerge from a 20-year period of decidedly frosty relations, strict travel bans, and trade restrictions. The highly publicized trip signaled a willingness on both sides to renew relations and launched the term “pingpong diplomacy.”

California moves a step closer to requiring EV sales only by 2035

Federal regulators today gave California a green light to tackle the remaining steps to finalize its plan to gradually shift new car sales in the state by 2035 to only zero-emissions models — meaning battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid cars — known as the Advanced Clean Cars II Rule.

In a separate move, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also gave its approval for the state to advance its Heavy-Duty Omnibus Rule, which is crafted to significantly reduce smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from new heavy-duty, diesel-powered trucks.
