New Tideworks Survey Reveals Need for Practical Data Accuracy and Connectivity at Marine Terminals
Process automation and digitalization emerge as top priorities, with larger operators turning to AI SEATTLE, June 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new global survey from Tideworks Technology® (Tideworks), a full-service provider of comprehensive terminal operating systems (TOS), in partnership with Port Technology International (PTI), reveals key opportunities for practical, real-time and automated data connectivity across marine terminal operations. AI emerged as a top technology priority for large terminals, while terminals of all sizes ranked equipment and asset utilization as the two leading focus areas to improve operations. The survey gathered responses globally from 121 professionals across container, bulk and roll-on/roll-off terminal operations, with annual throughputs ranging from under 100,000 TEUs to more than five million. Despite widespread adoption of digital tools and automation technologies, terminals still face persistent challenges with data connectivity, system integration and real-time visibility, especially those managing complex operations with lean teams. Operators are looking for connected systems that are easy to use, adaptable to their needs and built for everyday terminals. "We see marine terminals making bold technology investments, but the next step is ensuring systems work together," said Thomas J. Rucker, President of Tideworks Technology. "What's needed now is smarter connectivity that links data seamlessly across systems, both within the terminal and beyond the gate. Tideworks is committed to meeting terminals where they are, helping them unify their data and operations at their own pace, while giving them the flexibility to explore other emerging technologies on their own terms." The findings highlight where more connected, real-time systems can deliver the greatest impact for terminal operations. Yard Optimization is a Top Priority:74% of terminals are focused on reducing unproductive moves and maximizing equipment use. Yard space remains a constraint, with 66% citing it as their top challenge. Process Automation Leads, Equipment Lags:58% of respondents rank process automation as their priority for technology initiatives, making it the top item in this category. Equipment automation is a lower priority, ranked fifth place with 35%. Limited Connectivity Hinders Real-Time Insight:86% of respondents utilize TOS and planning tools; however, only 30% leverage real-time analytics. Data sharing is also a barrier—53% face internal integration challenges, and 46% struggle externally. In addition, nearly half (45%) lack real-time visibility. AI Interest Is Growing, but Data Foundations Must Improve:Among large terminals (1M+ TEUs), 64% are prioritizing AI, compared to 43% of terminals overall. However, 58% of all terminals still rely on manual data practices, highlighting the need for cleaner, more accessible data before advanced technologies can deliver real value. Tideworks and its leadership team will be at TOC Europe (Booth J50) in Rotterdam from June 17 -19, to share more insights from the survey and showcase its latest solutions designed to unify systems, unlock data and deliver operational optimization in real time.

Twitch bans Kai Cenat's friend RaKai after his reckless driving stream goes viral on social media
(Image via X/@clippedszn) Popular Twitch streamer and close friend of Kai Cenat, RaKai (aka 2xRaKai), has just been hit with a Twitch ban, again. This time, it's not because of something said online, but because of something he did IRL ...and it's got the internet talking big time. Here's everything about the incident. Who Is RaKai? If you're not already familiar, RaKai (aka 2xRaKai) is a rising streamer who's been gaining attention through collabs with big creators like Kai Cenat. He's young (just 16), high-energy, and until this week, very much active on Twitch. But on June 16, 2025, Twitch said 'nope' and took his channel down—for the second time. What Actually Went Down? On June 15, 2025, a clip started making rounds online showing 16-year-old RaKai driving a car recklessly and, yes, streaming it live. In the clip, he's seen texting while driving, taking his hands off the wheel, and basically just treating traffic laws like side quests. The video blew up on X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and everywhere in between. People were shocked, not just by the driving, but by the fact that this was all happening on stream . What Got Him Banned? In a word? Recklessness. Just a day before the ban, RaKai went viral for livestreaming himself driving while looking at his phone. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¿Padece una enfermedad renal crónica (ERC)? Trialbee Más información Undo And no, that's not even the worst part. At one point, he straight-up took his hands off the steering wheel on stream. The car swerved, the internet freaked out, and Twitch clearly wasn't amused. The clip started circulating on X (Twitter) and Reddit faster than you can say 'TOS violation.' Rakai Receives Backlash For Reckless Driving Underage | Should Rakai Be Banned From Twitch ? Twitch Was Already Watching Him Before the actual ban hammer dropped, RaKai had already hinted that something was up. During a 38-second clip from his June 16 stream, he told his chat that Twitch was 'investigating' his case. He seemed unsure if a ban was coming but was trying to stay optimistic, dropping lines like: 'I thought I was over, chat… but W Twitch. W Twitch rep.' Spoiler alert : It wasn't a W. A few hours later, boom—his Twitch channel became 'temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.' So What Now? RaKai hasn't publicly responded to the ban (as of now), and Twitch hasn't said how long the suspension will last. It could be days. It could be a month. It could be permanent. But one thing's clear—streaming while being irresponsible IRL is a fast track to getting clipped. Twitch isn't playing when it comes to unsafe behavior that spills off-screen. Whether you're a fan of RaKai or not, this incident is a reminder that clout-chasing while putting lives at risk (especially your own) is not the flex some think it is. Keep the energy on stream. Not on the highway.

How an increase in fastball velocity is helping Chicago Cubs reliever Brad Keller find success
CINCINNATI — Brad Keller grinned at the mention of his fastball velocity. After his four-seam fastball sat at 93.8 mph last year, Keller's heater is averaging 97 mph with the Chicago Cubs. The dramatic increase hasn't escaped Keller's attention. He topped it out at 100 mph on a 1-2 pitch to the Los Angeles Dodgers' Teoscar Hernández with the bases loaded and nobody out in the seventh inning April 22, attempting to hold the Cubs' two-run lead. 'It's sick — I surprised myself a couple times, like hitting 100, never thought I would ever do that,' Keller told the Tribune. 'It's pretty cool, but it's fun going after guys now instead of like before just relying on movement, things like that, in the zone. Now I still have the movement, but with added velo, just a little bit more confidence to be in the zone attacking guys and see what they can do.' Some of it has to do with usage, tapping into more velocity out of the bullpen in shorter stints rather than needing to reserve enough as a starter to get through multiple innings, and smoothed out mechanics. But perhaps the biggest centers around Keller's health. Keller, 29, was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) in 2023 and underwent surgery after that season. The mental impact of finally getting a diagnosis after months of unknowns at what was causing his sudden and seemingly random inability to throw a baseball was as much, if not more, of a relief than from the physical ailments he dealt with that included being unable to grip a baseball and intense shooting pain deep into his right armpit that ultimately required surgery. Keller was told by doctors he likely had been pitching through varying symptoms of TOS as far back as 2020. Now healthy and after his first normal offseason in years, Keller is thriving with the Cubs. Entering the series opener Friday against the Cincinnati Reds, Keller owns a 2.70 ERA with a 1.029 WHIP, career-best 3.43 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 148 ERA+ in 21 appearances spanning 23 1/3 innings, 'Over the last really three years or so just battling the TOS and everything with that, just not really feeling great when going out there, but I think that I'm finally feeling healthy, feeling like I'm bouncing back well after outings,' Keller said. 'Us bullpen guys, we want to be available every single day to obviously help the team win. And so I wasn't sure how my body would respond to something like that because I've never done it before, and so I'm really happy with how I've been able to stay in a good routine, to stay healthy and feel good every single day.' There are encouraging trends for the right-hander beyond the significant jump in velocity. Keller has the highest Whiff% (24.7%), 1st Pitch Strike% (64.5%) and Chase% (32.5%) of his career, all of which highlight how his success isn't rooted solely on his four-seam fastball's improved velocity. A more effective slider has played off well against the fastball. Hitters produced a lot of damage off Keller's slider in 2024, tagging it for four doubles, five home runs and a .581 slugging percentage. This year, Keller is throwing his slider 13% less and seeing less hard contact, extra-base hits and slug (.286) while increasing his sweeper usage by 8%, a pitch he started using in 2023 that is 1-for-19 against. 'I think that's every pitcher's dream is to add velocity like that and kind of organically do it, really,' manager Craig Counsell said. 'And I think he's gotten better in some other areas too. … It's credit to Brad and our staff. They've collectively done a great job working together, getting him to a good spot and a spot where he's really confident. You watch him go out there, and it's really good stuff. Couldn't be happier with where Brad's at.' Counsell remembers speaking with Keller a lot over the winter trying to recruit him to sign with the Cubs, which he did on a minor-league deal with a camp invite before being added to the big-league roster before the start of the season. Keller has become a versatile arm for Counsell, especially as the Cubs have navigated injuries to the pitching staff early in the season. They gained a veteran reliever Friday with the return of right-hander Ryan Brasier from the injured list and optioned right-hander Ethan Roberts to Triple-A Iowa. Keller, who first debuted in the majors at 22 with the Kansas City Royals in 2018, is the type of high-upside pitcher the Cubs have needed to find out of the bullpen. 'He's got so much career ahead of them, I think one of just really emphasizing that to him about how much he's got left in terms of as a pitcher, and that I love players that have accomplished a lot at a young age,' Counsell said. 'I think that means it's in there. And injuries and other factors can derail you, but that means that success is in there and fortunate that he chose us to be the ones to help him get it back going the right way.'

This Yoshinobu Yamamoto 1/1 Superfractor committed the Hobby's most grievous sin
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 11: Yoshinobu Yamamoto #18 of the Los Angeles Dodgers reacts after the third out against the Chicago Cubs in the sixth inning at Dodger Stadium on April 11, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) (Ronald Martinez via Getty Images) There is a lot to worry about in this 1/1 Yoshinobu Yamamoto Superfractor auto post on eBay . The lack of punctuation in the title. The seller's feedback at a mere 2. The fact that their only other eBay listing is a Superfractor lot of both Luka Doncic AND Kevin Durant, which inexplicably omits both player's names in the title of the listing. None of which is illegal or against TOS. But the most grievous, and most serious faux-pas, is the absence of a penny sleeve. The sought after Yoshinobo Yamamoto card is currently available on eBay. (Image from eBay listing) A penny sleeve serves as the hobby's fundamental protective measure, safeguarding cards against scratches, fingerprints, and smudges. In this case, it would have also prevented the auto from becoming tragically smudged as the card was carelessly pushed into the top loader. The penny sleeve might cost just a cent, but neglecting it can cost thousands. Advertisement Seeing a card of such stature without proper protection raises significant red flags and a slew of urgent questions: Where did this card originate? Who handled it so carelessly? Is the card even authentic? And crucially, is its surface compromised? The absence of something as basic as a penny sleeve isn't just negligence, it actively diminishes a card's value and shakes buyer confidence. Penny sleeves have become an essential staple within the hobby precisely because they're inexpensive yet vital. Ask any seasoned collector, and they'll emphasize how crucial these thin plastic protectors are to maintaining the integrity and value of prized cards. For beginners, penny sleeves are among the first investments recommended because even the slightest scratch can drastically impact a card's value. The hobby's reaction to this listing has been swift and vocal. MegaCardInvestor , the owner of the Yamamoto Kanji Superfractor 1/1 auto couldn't believe what he was looking at, "This is just a travesty. I'd like to know what happened to that auto and if it was pulled like that. I can't imagine the card being put into the pack like that. I'm hopingto get answers from seller.' Megacardinvestor claims he has gotten almost 6 figure offers for his Bowman 1/1 Yoshi Superfractor auto card, so 8k for some, is a steal. A steal on a card like this is great, but what then? Wiping the auto and attempting to have Yamamoto re-sign it raises immediate red flags; PSA would likely label the card as altered, a designation that almost always tanks its value. As the card's surface is most likely scratched on the surface, maybe the play is getting it re-signed and submitting only the autograph for grading? Or, maybe you submit as is and opt for just the 'authentic' designation? Whatever is decided, the buyer of this card has a lot to think about. Advertisement With Yamamoto boasting a sub-2.00 ERA through four games in the 2025 season, any Yamamoto Superfractor remains a massive chase for collectors, making this particular listing a stark reminder as to why penny sleeves are indispensable. It's also worth remembering that most people are doing the best they can, and we assume all good intentions here as respect to the seller, but penny sleeves are not merely optional; they're a requirement, especially when dealing with high-value collectibles. As the saying goes, 'penny wise, pound foolish'—never risk thousands to save just one cent. Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.
