POPULARITY
On this week of Stupid Genius, Emily and Mollie tackle a popular academic competition that sounds simple but can be deceptively challenging: the Three Minute Thesis, or 3MT. Mollie shares her experience as she won her faculty heats /(twice!) and went on to compete at the university level. They also break it down into what the 3MT is and where it comes from, how to write a great 3MT, and how to perform it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Southern Silver Exploration Corp President Larry Page joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share results from its updated Preliminary Economic Assessment on its Cerro Las Minitas project. The study is based on an updated Mineral Resourse with Indicated - 13.3Mt averaging 102g/t Ag, 0.07g/t Au, 0.17% Cu 1.3% Pb, and 3.1% Zn totaling 43.4Moz Ag, 32Koz Au, 49Mlb Cu, 374Mlb Pb and 921Mlb Zn; and Inferred - 23.4Mt averaging 111g/t Ag, 0.14g/t Au, 0.21% Cu, 1.1% Pb and 2.1% Zn totaling 83.4Moz Ag, 104koz Au, 111Mlb Cu, 582Mlb Pb and 1,106Mlb Zn. Page told Proactive the project's Robust Economics has a Base Case1: after-tax NPV5% of $501M and IRR of 21.2%with a 48-month payback. The company says this latest economic update of represents a new milestone in the ongoing evolution and development of the project which is the culmination of a number of smaller technical improvements, developed over the last 18 months, which together result in a significant increase in the value of the Cerro Las Minitas asset. This includes the addition of new mineral resources from the North Felsite zone as first reported in March 2023; the standardization of the metallurgical recoveries and charges across each of the deposits, including the addition of gold revenues into the project cash-flow; improvements in the mine scheduling and optimization both the Operating and Capital costs of the project. Page feels infill drilling is needed, specifically on the portions of the deposit that fall within the Inferred category of classification will increase confidence in the Mineral Resource estimate, will further de-risk the project and potentially increase the value of the project. Page emphasised that the property is free from net smelter return royalties, making it more attractive for future deals. The focus is now on securing favourable agreements to maximise shareholder value. #proactiveinvestors #southernsilverexplorationcorp #tsxv #ssv #Mining, #Silver, #Gold, #Zinc, #Copper, #Mexico, #CerroLasMinitas, #LarryPage, #Investment, #MiningDevelopment, #Exploration, #Minerals, #WesternSilver, #Goldcorp, #Shareholders, #NetSmelterReturn, #MiningProperty, #MineralExploration, #SteveDarling #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
This week we had such a wonderful time speaking with Laura Bibiana Ospina-Rozo, who joined us all the way from her home in Columbia. Laura is a scientist who finds joy in tackling research questions in the field of biophotonics: where light and living matter interact. She completed her undergraduate and masters degrees at the University of Los Andes in Colombia and her PhD in 2022 investigating beetle colours at the University of Melbourne. As a postdoc at the Stuart-Fox lab at the University of Melbourne, she analyzes biological samples combining microscopy and colour-measuring techniques, and spends most of her time talking to people from different disciplines to interpret the results together. Her work has taught her the importance of communicating science in an engaging and efficient way, as well as listening to diverse perspectives around common questions. That is why she eagerly participates in science communication competitions such as the 3MT competition and the Big Science Pitch and also likes being part of the diversity and inclusion committees at the University of Melbourne.

For most of us, we manage our investments with the goal of having a nice big nest egg when it's time to retire. But we need to continue to stay invested throughout our retirement. Often, investors are more afraid of running out of money than they are actually dying! Today Alex Cabot and Ed Lambert of Birch Run Financial discuss how to lower that risk.Ed points out that psychologically, investors experience more anxiety around market changes right before and after retirement. After all, the move from drawing income from a salary to drawing from investments is one of the biggest changes of your financial life. If you retire at 65, your median life expectancy in retirement is 20 years. And you have a 25% chance of living until age 90. How do you make your money last? You need a growth component to your portfolio. And while we plan for long-term market growth, we need to prepare for bumps in the road -things like the tech bubble bursting, the 2008 crisis, the "COVID Crash," and more. Moreover, inflation is built into our economy by design. We've seen a 2.4% core inflation rate over the last 20 years. If you extrapolate that forward, $10,000/month in living expenses today will be $18,000 in 25 years, or $20,000 in 30 years! You want to have enough income to live on, and in most cases, have something to pass down to your heirs.Alex speaks to the importance of diversification. With the help of Morningstar, he looked at several different theoretical $1,000,000 portfolios over the last 25 years. Assuming a 2.4% rate of inflation, and a $40,000 annual distribution (adjusted for inflation), here's what he found. That million dollar portfolio, counting inflation and distributions, would be worth the following today, 25 years later.Stock only: $908kBond only: $360k60% stock 40% bond $1.3MT-bills: $0Alex breaks down these numbers, and explains why the diversified portfolio outperformed anything else on the list.Here's the article on diversification Alex referenced on his LinkedIn in today's episode: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/measuring-impact-portfolio-distributions-diversified-asset-cabot/ You can always email Alex and Ed at info@birchrunfinancial.com or give them a call at 484-395-2190.Or visit them on the web at https://www.birchrunfinancial.com/Alex and Ed's Book: Mastering The Money Mind: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Money-Mind-Thinking-Personal/dp/1544530536 Any opinions are those of Ed Lambert and Alex Cabot and not necessarily those of RJFS or Raymond James.

MartesXXXI Semana Tiempo OrdinarioSolemnidad Todos los SantosLastimosamente en la actualidad los modelos o ejemplos de nuestros nuestros niños, jóvenes y adultos son un conjunto de personas famosas que en realidad muchas veces viven un desorden de vida. Ayer en muchos lugares del mundo se celebraba a Satanás y algunos se disfrazaron de algo que en realidad no son... Hoy la propuesta verdadera es a la santidad...Lee los textos y date cuenta que el proyecto de Dios es que vivamos santamente desde nuestra realidad siguiendo el ejemplo de aquellos que se atrevieron a ser diferentes...Ap 7, 2-4.9-14Sal 23, 1-61 Jn 3, 1-3Mt 5, 1-12
3Mt. 21. 33-46 Lc. 20. 9-19 12 Parabla de los servidores homicidas1 Jesús se puso a hablarles en parábolas: «Un hombre plantó una viña, la cercó, cavó un lagar y construyó una torre de vigilancia. Después la arrendó a unos viñadores y se fue al extranjero. 2 A su debido tiempo, envió a un servidor para percibir de los viñadores la parte de los frutos que le correspondía. 3 Pero ellos lo tomaron, lo golpearon y lo echaron con las manos vacías. 4 De nuevo les envió a otro servidor, y a este también lo maltrataron y lo llenaron de ultrajes. 5 Envió a un tercero, y a este lo mataron. Y también golpearon o mataron a muchos otros. 6 Todavía le quedaba alguien, su hijo, a quien quería mucho, y lo mandó en último término, pensando: Respetarán a mi hijo. 7 Pero los viñadores se dijeron: Este es el heredero: vamos a matarlo y la herencia será nuestra. 8 Y apoderándose de él, lo mataron y lo arrojaron fuera de la viña. 9 ¿Qué hará el dueño de la viña? Vendrá, acabará con los viñadores y entregará la viña a otros. 10 ¿No han leído este pasaje de la Escritura: 10 La piedra que los constructores rechazaron 10 ha llegado a ser la piedra angular: 11 esta es la obra del Señor, 11 admirable a nuestros ojos?». 12 Entonces buscaban la manera de detener a Jesús, porque comprendían que esta parábola la había dicho por ellos, pero tenían miedo de la multitud. Y dejándolo, se fueron.

Isabelle Hoxha estudia los procesos cognitivos que tienen lugar en el cerebro y es estudiante de doctorado en la prestigiosa Universidad Paris Saclay. Ella forma parte de los 16 estudiantes que participan en la final nacional francesa del concurso Ma thèse en 180 secondes (MT180) "Mi tesis en 180 segundos" el 31 de mayo en la ciudad de Lyon, en Francia. Un divertido concurso de divulgación científica que cada día tiene más adeptos en el mundo. Isabelle Hoxha es una joven doctorante que estudia las ciencias cognitivas y computacionales en la Facultad de Deportes de la prestigiosa Universidad de Paris Saclay. Sus investigaciones las lleva a cabo en el laboratorio Complexité, Innovation, Activités Motrices et Sportives de este complejo universitario que se encuentra a una veintena de kilómetros al sur de París y que abarca numerosas facultades y centros de estudios. Su tesis de doctorado se titula Mécanismes neurocognitifs de l'anticipation perceptive dans la prise de décision que podría traducirse como "Mecanismos neurocognitivos de anticipación perceptiva en la toma de decisiones". Un mecanismo que en realidad todos llevamos a cabo en el transcurso del día. Es decir, el cerebro anticipa una serie de situaciones para reaccionar de una manera u otra. A pesar de su timidez, Isabelle Hoxha se inscribió a este concurso y después de varias etapas selectivas llegó a la final regional con un video bastante divertido sobre su objeto de estudio. La primera pregunta que hace en su presentación es ¿Qué haría si caminando por el bosque se encuentra con un venado o un jabalí? ¿Sale corriendo o se detiene para tomar una foto? A partir de este ejemplo, la doctorante explica los mecanismos que suceden en nuestro cerebro y como "anticipamos" ciertas situaciones para reaccionar en su momento. Aquí está el video (en francés) y que le dió el pase a la final nacional 2022. 16 finalistas Isabelle Hoxha es una de las 16 finalistas que participan en la gran final francesa de este concurso Ma thèse en 180 secondes y que tiene lugar el próximo 31 de mayo 2022 en la ciudad de Lyon. La final francesa tendrá lugar en la ciudad de Lyon el 31 de mayo del 2022, en su edición número 9 y puede seguirse en vivo pour Youtube y por Facebook. Los 16 finalistas son estudiantes de doctorado y los campos de estudio son muy diversos. Cada candidato busca explicar en tres minutos qué es lo que estudia, hacerlo de manera clara e incluso con notas de humor. Este concurso, que se conoce mundialmente con la abreviacion MT180, busca ser un concurso de divulgación científica. La versión original surgió en el 2008 en Australia en la Universidad de Queensland con el concurso Three minute thesis (3MT®), un concepto adoptado rápidamente por numerosas universidades del mundo. En Francia se organiza desde el 2014 e incluso hay una versión conjunta con países francófonos. Escuche aquí el programa sobre Presentar su tesis de doctorado en 180 segundos Cada participante tiene tres minutos para presentar su tesis de doctorado. Una mezcla del arte de la oratoria, de la síntesis y de divulgación científica, con algunas notas de humor también. Para esta edición 2022, cerca de 600 doctorantes de toda Francia estaban en la línea de salida del concurso MT180, pero sólo quedaron 58 en la semifinal y 16 finalistas, entre ellos Isabelle Hoxha. Isabelle Hoxha, francesa y con raíces albanesas, habla varios idiomas, entre ellos el español y vino a RFI para hablarnos de manera sencilla sobre su objeto de estudio y también sobre este concurso. Entrevistada: Isabelle Hoxha, doctorante de la Universidad Paris Saclay y finalista del concurso "Mi tesis en 180 segundos".
Welcome to our weekly segment, "Three Minute Thursday" where host Pooja Mottl highlights a piece of wisdom she has come across from her own readings, or shares an inspirational anecdote or insight that can help you lead a more calm and rooted life.--"The purpose of life is a life of purpose” concludes author Robbin Sharma (Monk Who Sold His Ferrari). But what is your purpose? If you don't know, you're no alone. Most people fly through life existing but never living, going through the motions, doing what they think they're supposed to be doing but never really taking the time to figure out if that aligns with what truly energizes and fulfills them.If you want to know one thing about your purpose, its about being selfless. Living and doing things that go beyond your individual gain. But to get to the heart of your unique purpose, you'll have to put in the effort. You'll have to take time out life to find it. And one thing that helps is silence. Often, when we get rid of the noise, the conversations, the technology, and all the stimulations of the material world, our mind calms down just enough for it to reveal to us what it is that we're here on this planet for. What is it that our talents and capabilities are meant to work on? What is it that energizes us, uplifts us and fills us with joy? Often times, we can't get these answers if we keep ourselves on the treadmill of life and reaching for distractions. What we need to do is find quiet. Make that time for quiet and it will help you find your purpose. Put it in your calendar if you need to. Turn off your phone – shut down your computer – sit alone with your thoughts. Calm your mind and give it the space it needs to reveal to you what it is that you're here to selflessly do. --If you want to read more of my essays on living calm and free, please sign up to my newsletter by following me on LinkedIn or signing up to at our new website at calmandfreepodcast.com.

Welcome to our weekly segment, "Three Minute Thursday" where host Pooja Mottl highlights a piece of wisdom she has come across from her own readings, or shares an inspirational anecdote or insight that can help you lead a more calm and rooted life.--In a fast-changing world, news about success runs rampant. It seems society wants to sell us it's own version of success and the fact is, most of us have bought into it.If you're connected to the internet, news about people achieving great wealth, respect or fame, grab your attention in the form of posts, tweets, headlines, and alerts. This kind of sensational success is more alluring and seemingly more accessible, than ever before in human history. From unicorn founders to voyages into space, stories about success mesmerize us and seduce us into wanting it, and the herd mentality justifies this narrative and keeps it alive.There's nothing wrong with working hard for financial freedom and recognition from our peers – but what we've collectively done as a society…is taken success to a dangerous level in the context of our mental wellbeing.Dangerous, because when we make the end game all about success – the fortune, the notoriety, the achievements - we make the biggest sacrifice: we give up our peace of mind.See, when we're driven by the promise that success will make our lives better, as the news and our culture want us to believe, we stop feeling grateful for what we have right now, a scientifically proven way to make our minds unhappy.And in the competitive race for success, we feel inadequate until me make it, insignificant if we never do, and unsatisfied when we arrive, because hitting one benchmark only begins the chase for yet another.To counter these emotions, we numb ourselves with food, with drugs, with shopping, with alcohol, with social media and by the dopamine hit that comes from just the idea that success can happen to me… if I just keep plugging away. So today I'd like to offer you this advice with love and compassion – I want you to ask yourself: is my definition of success bringing me peace of mind at the end of my day? Does it give me energy or does it take it from me? Does my definition of success help me sleep well at night? Does it make me the best colleague I can be? The best parent I can be? These are the questions you must ask yourself to ensure a calm mind, which by the way, is the foundation necessary to unleash the genius within you.In the coming days, I will be releasing a full length video to expand on the process I use, personally, to define success in a way that brings me inner peace. It has been inspired by the likes of legendary coach John Wooden, the work of essayist and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson and the philosophy inherent in the Bhagavad Gita, the storied ancient Indian poem imbibed with time-honored wisdom . It will be both at my YouTube channel and on my social media channels. I truly hope these messages resonate with you and can add real value to your life.--If you want to read more of my essays on living calm and free, please sign up to my newsletter by following me on LinkedIn or signing up to at our new website at calmandfreepodcast.com.

More fearful, less trusting. Less joyful, more lonely. More diseased, less healthy. More anxious, less at peace. But the fact is, we're not different than we entered this world as tiny, beautiful babies – we're no less loved, we're no less valid. It's just the norms of society that change the very way we think about ourselves as adults – and it's a racket.Persian Poet Rumi so eloquently advised to: “Look inside yourself, everything that you want you already are.”We are already enough – we don't need to overwork ourselves to burnout and needlessly compare and compete. We are worthy just as we are.I'll leave you to contemplate on this most profound piece of wisdom and encourage you to watch the entire video on YouTube.I wonder what our world would be like if everyone - especially tech moguls, founders, investors and alike - took this message to heart and put a brake on the never-ending chase – would society be less polarized? Would we be individually and collectively happier and healthier?If you want to read more of my essays on living calm and free, please sign up to my newsletter by following me on LinkedIn or signing up to at our new website at calmandfreepodcast.com.

If you enjoy these short episodes please text or email them to someone you love and subscribe!--Today I wanted to share with you the last words of Steve Jobs prior to his death. I hope they can help you, too, craft a more examined life.I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In some others' eyes, my life is the epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, my wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on my bed and recalling my life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in have paled and become meaningless in the face of my death.Material things lost can be found or replaced. But there is one thing that can never be found when it's lost – Life. Whichever stage in life you are in right now, with time, you will face the day when the curtain comes down.Treasure love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well and cherish others. As we grow older, and hopefully wiser, we realize that a $300 or a $30 watch both tell the same time. You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things and not the price. Eat your food as your medicine, otherwise you have to eat medicine as your food.There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage! The six best doctors in the world are sunlight, rest, exercise, diet, self-confidence and friends. Maintain them in all stages and enjoy a healthy life.

Mike Ralston Ceo of Blencowe Resources #BRES discusses their near surface high-grade drilling results at Camp Lode which will form part of an updated JORC Standard Mineral Resource Estimate and Reserve Determination for the Orom-Cross project scheduled for late February 2022. Highlights · Drilling at Camp Lode delivers consistent outstanding high grade graphite results in the oxide zone including: o OREA-L1302, 11 metres at 9.73%TGC from 3 metres including 6 metres at 10.97%TGC o OREA-L1401, 5 metres at 10.30% TGC from surface o OREA-L1501, 14 metres at 11.81% TGC from 4 metres o OREA-L701, 19 metres at 9.78%TGC from 2 metres o OREA-L1201, 17 metres at 10.35% TGC from 2 metres including 7m @12.21% TGC o OREA-L401, 19 metres at 9.49% TGC from surface · These results will form part of an updated JORC Standard Mineral Resource Estimate and Reserve Determination for the Orom-Cross project scheduled for late February 2022 Blencowe Resources Plc ("Blencowe Resources") (LSE: BRES) is pleased to announce exceptional high-grade drilling results at the Camp Lode deposit which forms part of the Orom-Cross project. These results will allow the Company to bring Camp Lode into the wider Orom-Cross JORC Resource and Reserve Estimate update scheduled to be released in February 2022. Camp Lode Resource Drilling The results, which come from the weathered, close-to or at-surface zone of the Camp Lode deposit, highlight the quality of the project's mineralisation and ultimately its ability to be a low-cost producer. The drilling targeted both infill zones and strike extensions to existing high-grade oxide mineralisation. The spectacular near-surface intercepts confirm the geological interpretations as well as grade continuity over the strike length of the Camp Lode. The Camp Lode Deposit has been subjected to a diamond drill hole program on a 25 metre by 12.5 metre grid. The drilling was designed to provide sufficient information to enable the classification of Resources at the Camp Lode into the indicated category and enable a Resource Estimate on the Camp Lode to be reported and to qualify the initial production area for the deposit as a high-grade supplement to the main Northern Syncline deposit. Northern Syncline Resource Drilling Blencowe Resources continues to receive the sample assays for the additional 24 diamond drill hole program undertaken on the Northern Syncline Lode and QA/QC checks are expected to be completed shortly enabling the company to proceed to finalising the Orom-Cross JORC Resource Estimate. The holes to date have returned visible grade graphite over the majority of 30m of intersection, with weathering extending to within 5m of the base of the holes in most cases. This may present Blencowe with a high-grade ore for initial mining which could have significant advantages to both mining costs and product quality. Subsequent logging by company geologists has also identified zones of large to jumbo flakes in the core. The core has been assayed at SGS in Perth, Western Australia using the method C-IR18. The method is appropriate for understanding graphite deposits and is a total method. Orom-Cross Graphite Project Orom-Cross is a potential world class graphite project both by size and end-product quality, with a high component of more valuable larger coarse flakes within the deposit. A 21-year Mining Licence for the project was issued by the Ugandan Government in 2019 following extensive historical work on the deposit and Blencowe is moving into the studies phase shortly as it drives towards first production. Orom-Cross presents as a large, shallow open-pitable deposit, with a maiden JORC Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource deposit of 16.3Mt @ 6.0% Total Graphite Content. Development of the resource is expected to benefit from a low strip ratio and free dig operations, thereby ensuring lower operating and capital costs.
Welcome to "3 Minute Thursday" (#ThreeMinuteThursday) where Pooja shares a weekly nugget of wisdom in just a few minutes. --I'd like to honor and celebrate Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietamese Buddhist monk who passed away last week.Many of you have been listening for a while, know that much of my work and my own inner shifts have been inspired by the work of Nhat Hanh (lovingly known as Thay).When I first got a hold of his tiny book, How to Relax, for under $10 dollars at my local bookstore, I had little clue what mindfulness was all about. I picked up the book only because it seemed like a "mindfulness for dummies" type book.But what I found inside the pages was beyond belief, and quiet literally changed my life. Thich Nhat Hanh was one of those special beings – a genius at not only mastering the teachings of the ancients for himself but mastering the art conveying these teachings to beginners. I encourage everyone to pick up this book and others:Peace is Every StepHow to RelaxYou are HerePlum Village: https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh/---If you want to read more of my essays on living calm and free, please sign up to my newsletter by following me on LinkedIn.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to "3 Minute Thursday" (#ThreeMinuteThursday) where Pooja shares a weekly nugget of wisdom in just a few minutes. --The idea – that the more you want the more you suffer – is a basic tenant of Buddhism and many other spiritual and religious traditions. The Buddha believed that most suffering is caused by a tendency to crave things. These things might be exact and tangible like wanting to own a sports car or getting to 100K followers on Twitter, or more amorphous, like just not feeling content in the now – wanting to be somewhere else or do something else.Think about how much wanting happens in your own life. How often do you think about wanting things or experiences or situations?Legendary coach John Wooden, didn't need to study eastern philosophy to figure this out. He wrote in his 1997 book, Wooden that: “It is my observation that the primary cause of unhappiness for most people is simply wanting too much: expecting too much materially, chasing the dollar, overemphasizing the material things. When they don't arrive, unhappiness does.Eckert Tolle, the author of book The Power of Now, links wanting with stress: he says “Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there.”How often do you want to be there instead of here. How often are you playing for later, hoping that when you get the things you want you will be happy?---If you want to read more of my essays on living calm and free, please sign up to my newsletter by following me on LinkedIn.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to "Time Out Thursday" (#TimeOutThursday) where I guide you through a powerful meditation. --Often, many of us try to meditate with a misunderstanding of mediation which then leads to doubt or hesitation to meditate regularly.Today I'll start by briefly helping you understand what mediation is and then we'll go straight into the experience of it.Meditation is about moving into stillness. Our bodies may be in the noisy outside world but we are going inside with mediation. You can also think of it as allowing your mind and senses to stop working. Letting your mind rest. Your eyes rest from seeing – your ears and mouth rest from hearing and talking. Meditation is a way to slow all of this down – to give your mind a body the break they need. And when we can relax the mind and body, we can move beyond the mind itself – into a deep and silent space, what yogic philosophy refers to as the Self, or atman. Where we can touch the bliss that is inherently inside all of us.Remember, mediation isn't another test or challenge or something you have to put effort into. It's about putting in NO effort – giving nothing - and completely letting go. ---If you want to read more of my essays on living calm and free, please sign up to my newsletter by following me on LinkedIn.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to our weekly segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and compassionate life. --Today I'd like to share with you an insight based on the book, Your True Home – everyday wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist monk who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr.He says that most of us believe that happiness is possible only in the future. And when you are searching for something else, you are not at peace with yourself, you are not satisfied with yourself. Then there is conflict. And with conflict there is no peace and calm. And when there is no peace and calm, there is no happiness and joy.But the truth is, he says, that we have already arrived, we don't have to travel any further. The conditions for our happiness are already sufficient. We don't need any more labels, things, titles, or other type of currency to be happy and free. We only need to allow ourselves to be in the present moment, and we will be able to touch our happiness.Thich Nhat Hanh talks about a practice to help us experience this. He calls it “I have arrived”. When you breath in and bring you mind home to your body, you make peace with your mind and body. This is the practice. It takes only 2 seconds he says – you establish yourself in the here and now. You are enough. Smile and internalize this idea that you are enough. There is no need to search, to wait, to seek for something better to happen. Better is happening now. Just breath in.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to our weekly segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and compassionate life. --Earlier this week I got some sad news – a former boss of mine from London passed away. He left behind a beautiful family – a wife and three kids. He was an amazing human with great empathy and compassion for humanity and others.I'll be the first to admit, that most days, I'm not thinking about life as impermanent, as transitory. Most of the time I'm playing for the future. For the next week, the next year. But this incident gave me that reminder I needed to keep mortality in mind each and every day. To live each day as if it were my masterpiece, not as if it's just another ordinary day in an infinite life.Stoic philosophers opined on death greatly and have left a litany of profound knowledge we can use to our benefit in modern life:Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius famously said “It is not death that a man should fear, but rather he should fear never beginning to live.”...“Don't behave as if you are destined to live forever.”This same week, an incredible Netflix film called 14 Peaks, helped take this Marcus Aurelius wisdom a step further for me.In 2019, a Nepali mountain climber who goes by the name of Nims, climbed all of the worlds 8000+ peaks - the death zones - in less than 7 months – a world record. He knew that if he quite while on a mountain he would die. But in being so acutely in the present moment as he climbed those mountains, he found that fear of death became irrelevant. In other words...he was free. Freedom comes from living fully in the present – free from fears, from worry, from regret, from anxiety, from planning– and living fully with enthusiasm and in the pursuit of a purpose beyond yourself.For Nims, his purpose was to gain recognition for all the nameless Sherpas that helped countless western climbers over countless years with no credit.So these two things – the death of a colleague and 14 Peaks helped nail down a solid definition of freedom for me. That freedom happens when you keep mortality in mind which then forces you to live each and everyday in the present without fear, energized by a higher purpose and infusing these present moments with joy and positivity.Certainly you don't have to be climbing Annapurna or K2 to find the kind of freedom Nims has – you can do it in your own way. You just have to internalize this definition of freedom and make the life-changing choices that put you on the path to getting it. --For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to our weekly segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and compassionate life. --This week I have contentment on my mind, inspired by my current education at the Sri Sri School of Yoga. Many of you know that one of the central areas of focus in this podcast is spotlighting profound wisdom and philosophical insights, both ancient and modern, that can be applied to finding calm, freedom, and compassion in the hustle of modern day living.Today I want to talk about some key wisdom around contentment and happiness – wisdom that has spanned not only the ages, but continents and world views.The idea that contentment and happiness is a choice is not new.Sentenced to prison twice for his views on the French government, 18th cent. Paris-based Writer and philosopher Voltaire, had a strong conviction about contentment – that is was a decision you had to make. He wrote that the "most important decision you will make is to be in a good mood."Two hundred years later, a man from Detroit Michigan who began his life as an orphan only to write one of the best-selling books of all time, Wayne Dyer said something similar: “Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find.”Rewind about 2000 years from this and we find that this same idea – that a happy mood and contentment is a choice we make, - can be found in the ancient Yoga Sutras, one of the foundational texts of classic yogic philosophy. In this text, Maharishi Patanjali refers to the Sanskrit word santosha – which means contentment, describing it as an attitude and a practice. He says that only by practicing santosha, can unparalellled joy be achieved.So if you're feeling a bit low or empty today, Make that decision to be in a good mood. Tap into your inner world or explore your outer world to find those nuggets of contentment– there are never far from reach. --For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to our new segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and full life. --Coach John Wooden is one of the most revered coaches in sports history, the brains behind the Pyramid of Success, and known for his simple, inspirational messages that have impacted thousands of individuals and organizations. Since on this podcast I try to uncover timeless wisdom – no matter who its from or what century it was born in that can help us lead our best lives - I've been drawn to Coach Wooden's work for a while and today I wanted to share some bits of wisdom I found from a recent book I read on the life of John Wooden.It seems John Wooden learned the bulk of his most important life lessons from his father, Joshua, a farmer than a sanitarium worker from Indiana who lived through the Great Depression. One day Joshua wrote down a direct set of rules “Two sets of Threes” for John and his brothers:Never Lie, Cheat, or Steal.Don't Whine, Don't Complain, and Don't Make Excuses.Coach Wooden never put up with complaining from his players. He expected a see a positive attitude from every player every day. Whining was particularly destructive because it took the spotlight off the “we” and onto the “me”.Complaining is draining – it drains us and the people around us.The act of complaining is 100% under our control. The attitude we bring to every moment and every situation in our lives is under our control. This little story also made me think immediately of this quote by 18th c French philosopher and writer Voltaire: “The most important decision you make, is to be in a good mood.” Our life is only as good as the choices we make. The more we can find that space, the breath, the moment to catch ourselves in every new situation and respond by not complaining rather than reacting by complaining, that's when we utilize the skills we have on the inside to live our best lives on the outside.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Highlights Ø Over-Subscribed £2m fund-raise, including subscriptions from Blencowe Board Ø Orom-Cross now fully funded through to completion of PFS Ø Outlook for graphite market continues to strengthen, driven by EV sector Blencowe Resources (LSE: BRES) (Blencowe or the Company) is pleased to announce the successful completion of an over-subscribed capital raise for £2 million at 5p through the issue of 40,000,000 new ordinary shares ("Fundraise"). This includes a subscription of £75,000 from the Directors and CEO. The Fundraise is subject to a simplified prospectus that is currently being approved by the FCA ahead of the seeking of shareholder approval at a general meeting to be arranged. The Company anticipates that admission of the new ordinary shares will be in approximately 21 days. Use of Funds These funds will be used for the further development of the Company's flagship Orom-Cross graphite project in Uganda, including: · an updated JORC Resource early next quarter; and · Delivery of a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") by mid-2022. Blencowe announced results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for Orom-Cross in September 2021, which highlighted a long-life, low-cost graphite project that delivers significant operating margin per tonne; the resultant NPV (US$317 million) and IRR (49%) are considered exceptional and as such the Company has moved into PFS stage. The Company will further refine the project economics in the PFS and continue to use these studies to engage with strategic and industrial parties that are seeking graphite product. Background Orom-Cross is a potential world class graphite project both by size and end-product quality, with a high component of more valuable larger flakes within the deposit. A 21-year Mining Licence for the project was issued by the Ugandan Government in 2019 following extensive historical work on the deposit and Blencowe is moving into the studies phase shortly as it drives towards first production. Orom-Cross presents as a large, shallow open-pitable deposit, with a maiden JORC Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource deposit of 16.3Mt @ 6.0% Total Graphite Content. Development of the resource is expected to benefit from a low strip ratio and free dig operations, thereby ensuring lower operating and capital costs.
Welcome to our new segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and full life. --In a recent conversation with a budding entrepreneur, it hit me that overachievers who embrace the idea that the harder you work, the more you increase your chances for success, tend to struggle nearly all their lives with placing limits on that hard work itself.Driven individuals tend to believe that the more effort they put in, the more they can guarantee their future success. And because these individuals are so incredibly determined and ambitious, they're willing to overwork the competition and sacrifice everything, even their own happiness, so they can toil, grind, and push even harder.But here's the rub: The finish line can't be guaranteed, no matter how hard you try. Work can take you only so far. There is a very profound verse from the seminal ancient Indian scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, which states that you have the right to your actions, but not the right to the fruits of your actions. What this means is that no matter how much you do, the fruits of your actions are not entirely in your hands. Imagine planting an apple seed in the ground. It may not grow into a tree. But if it does, it's not entirely due to your planting of the seed. There are other factors involved – rain and sun to help it grow, temperature, and how it withstands threats from animals or inclement weather. In other words, it's not just your hard work that determines your success.The same verse also states that as much as you don't have the full rights to the fruit of your action, you must also, after you've put the hard work in, detach from the action itself. Do the best you can, give it your 100% then…let go. Put forth your best effort, then surrender. Don't overdo it. Don't push yourself to burnout because…well, it's futile. Letting go isn't about giving up. It's about the wise acceptance of this very principle.And this is what overachievers have trouble swallowing – because it doesn't make sense logically speaking. Surrender? You mean leave my potential success in the hands of an invisible high power? That's not what they taught me in business school.So, they all too often find themselves getting closer and closer to their breaking point – miserably overworking, rather than joyfully working hard and then letting go. What's more, they often can't comprehend why others aren't quick to sympathize with them. This same entrepreneur expressed to me several times “People don't realize how hard I'm working”. The thing is, no one is asking or expecting you to work this hard – except, of course, you.I must confess, I used to be this exact type of overachiever over-worker myself. Never satisfied with the effort I put in. Always ready to put in more and more fight, and use more and more of my grit, willpower, and drive.But looking back, yes, my innate tendencies may have gotten me somewhere, helped me check off a few boxes and pushed me up the ranks a bit, but I recognize now, that I likely could have gone a lot farther and been happier along the way, if I just learned to…well…Let Go.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to our new segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and full life. --Many of you may know from my posts on social media that this year I decided to take a teachers training course from an authentic school of yoga based in India, pioneered by world humanitarian leader and spiritual master, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.The first few days of this course flipped my understanding of yoga inside out and upside down. Yoga, in its truest form, has to do very little with asanas (those exercises and poses that we have now come to automatically associate with yoga) and everything to do about calming the mind.See, when the ancients began asking those profound questions like "What is the meaning of life?", and "How do I find joy?", and when they began practicing ways to find inner peace, they came to realize that by calming the mind and connecting with the inner self the answers to these questions revealed themselves.Yoga, is, in fact, our ability to master the stream of thoughts that run through our mind. This is the definition provided by Maharishi Patanjali himself, the author of the Yoga Sutras. Yoga is our capacity to connect with our true self through stillness. It is cultivating the inner skills used to master life while it unfolds before you. It is a disciplined path to finding your center, and dealing with your emotions.The physical aspect of yoga- the yoga postures that we equate with yoga are only meant to be vehicles to achieve this ultimate goal and only 1 spoke in a wheel of many. In fact, practicing yoga postures without understanding the historical context, the philosophical wisdom and the other practices that comprise it, such as service and breath work, won't make you a yogi no matter how many years you practice.Yoga, is not a physical practice, yoga is a metaphorical and disciplined path of many practices and deep knowledge – a path to uniting you with you're your truest self, a path that can allow you to blossom to your full human potential and contribute to the world as you do so. --For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to our new segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and full life. --This week I have compassion on my mind. Compassion is an antidote to stress, anxiety, and a gateway practice to thriving. I recently learned this from taking part in a talk given by Dr. Jim Doty at Stanford University who is a co-founder of a program called ACT – Applied Compassion Training.Jim spoke about how compassion has been scientifically proven to be a health-booster not unlike exercise, the Mediterranean Diet and meditation. When we are kind and compassionate, our physiology changes through the reward centers in our brain. By practicing compassion, our blood pressure goes down, our immune system is boosted, there's a decrease in levels of inflammatory proteins, and a decrease in stress hormones levels. We move from the fight or flight (threat mode) mode to the rest and digest mode, where we're tapping into the parasympathetic nervous system. We actually live longer when we're compassionate! So how do we become compassionate and practice compassion? Compassion happens when we see ourselves in others – or we're able to see the other as ourselves. When we realize we are all a part of a common humanity. We are all one. Compassion happens when we wake up to the truth that we're innately hardwired to connect with others and to have empathy for our fellow humans.This talk really opened my eyes to what truly affects our long-term health. Its not just meditation and fitness that can work wonders, its our relationship with others, its showing up with kindness, caring for one another, and realizing our oneness, that can further our mental and physical health. Compassion is no doubt compelling. And if you'd like to learn more about the science behind it – please look up the ACT program and the CCARE program at Stanford Medicine.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Welcome to our new segment, "Three Minute Thursday" (#3MinThursday) where I highlight a piece of wisdom I've come across from my own readings over the past week, or share with you an inspirational anecdote that can help you lead a more calm, free and full life. This week, we unpack why you don't have to be busy to be successful.--So the other day I saw a post that introduced someone by saying they had a "busy and successful life". It seems our cultural norms have evolved to equate busy with success or at least allow for both to happen simultaneously: You can't be successful unless you're busy. And if you're not busy, you can't be successful. The irony here is that to be truly successful, you're never busy. Yes, you're engaged in activities and you're doing, but you're present and calm and you are enjoying it. You're in the flow and open to adjusting. There's no resistance. Busy often connotes rigidity and this idea that you're leaping from one thing to the next with no breaks. Busy means there is stress. Even thinking about the word tends to change the when you inhale and exhale – higher up in your lungs as opposed to the deep long belly breaths that we take lower down that help us find calm and relaxation.Let's sever this tie between busy and successful. Know that those who are truly successful – those that are living their lives with presence, self-actualization, vitality and can both relax and deeply focus when needed – those ppl aren't busy. They at ease. They're floating. They're smiling instead pushing through the day with grit and willpower. That life can be yours.--For more from Host Pooja Mottl: www.PoojaMottl.comPodcast Producer: www.Go-ToProductions.comTwitter: @PoojaMottlInstagram: @TheCalmandFreePodcast and @PoojaMottl LinkedIn: @PoojaMottlSpecial Thanks : Kris Kosach of the TPR Podcast for lending her VO for our Podcast Intro.Jessica Panian for her help with our graphic design.

Jessica Sharmin Rahman is one of those rare human beings we always hear about who can do it all. She has been taking dance lessons from the age of six and taught classical dance at Chhayanaut Cultural Centre (one most prestigious dance institution of Bangladesh) for almost eight years. But that is not her primary career. She is a young computer science researcher whose work primarily involves looking at the effects of auditory and visual stimuli on human physiological signals to analyze how sensory input influences Human affective (emotional) reasoning. She is now a PhD Student in the Human-Centred Computing (HCC) group of the Research School of Computer Science at the Australian National University (ANU). Before that, she received her B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Dhaka. Recently she became the people's choice winner of The Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT) hosted by ANU for her presentation titled "Do you know how music makes you feel?". In this episode of Bangla Tech Talk, we talked about the 3MT competition, her doctoral research, the importance of ethical thinking in computer science research, and the social dilemma both the documentary and issues we face as a society. Later in the episode, Jessica shared why both her dance and research works are equally important to her and how they help each other to be more productive.

Interview with James Anderson, CEO of Alt Resources (ASX:ARS).Alt Resources is an ASX-listed mineral exploration company. It was incorporated in April 2014 to acquire up to a 70% interest in projects held by GFM Exploration Pty Ltd. As part of its JV with GFM, Alt Resources is exploring gold assets in south-east Lachlan Orogen, New South Wales. The company is aiming to raise capital to fund exploration drilling at the Paupong and Myalla Projects. Alt Resources' former flagship project is Paupong, a Greenfield discovery comprised of gold-bearing quartz and sulphide veins, breccias and stockwork. However, the company has recently shifted focus and the new flagship project is the 360km² Mt Ida Gold Project, with 600,000oz of gold and 4Moz of silver. The company is close on a PFS and a maiden ore reserve statement.Strategically, Alt Resources is trying to buck the trend set by most gold explorers, by forging a clear, accelerated path towards production via a mining service agreement with Blue Cap Mining. The duo will develop and mine the Tim’s Find deposit within Alt Resources' wider Mount Ida gold project in Western Australia.The company was originally focussed on expensive copper-gold porphyry but made a pragmatic corporate decision to chase a gold project in the "tier-1" mining jurisdiction of Western Australia. Why does Alt Resources want to get into production quickly rather than focussing on expanding the resource via drilling? Anderson sees the classic model of building up as large as a gold resource as possible as flawed, and driven by big funders who want to make a larger margin. A smaller capacity gold project, with a reduced tonnage and CAPEX, but a higher grade with a substantial NPV, is the path Alt Resources has chosen. Rather than building an on-site plant to process 3Mt, the company has opted for a perhaps more sensible 750,000t. While the company will only produce 40,000oz gold, the company will generate "A$18-$20M free cash every year." The main reason behind this profitability is the mineralogy of the Mt Ida Gold Project's ore body. It is open-pit: an oxide. This de-risks the project significantly and could fund Alt Resources to make further acquisitions and push the share price up for gold investors.What are the details behind the deal with Blue Cap Mining? Blue Cap made the deal to help transport some of Alt Resources' ore to process it (around 80,000t) in a 65:35 cash split. Blue Cap has agreed to help Alt Resources with its short-term, small-scale mining operation, with the intention to get involved in something bigger. The gold is sold to a refinery and Alt Resources receives the residual once everyone has been paid. Anderson expects to receive A$5.5M to add to the A$1.5M from Blue Cap and A$2M in the bank as of last quarter. The burn rate A$900,000 per month, which is significant. Will a feasibility study (+-20%) allow Alt Resources to garner additional financing from the market?The crew was taken off-site in mid-March due to the COVID-19 crisis, so the burn rate has been reduced and the timescale has been stretched out. Luckily, Blue Cap's fleet is less restricted by quarantine, so July could be the start month, and by the end of September, Alt Resources could have its share of the A$7.5M with a maiden resource and FS. It's highly likely Alt Resources will look towards a debt funding scenario for Mt Ida; thus, the A$5M isn't necessarily earmarked for anything. With cash generation the priority in the short term, why wasn't it planned what this capital would be allocated for?Anderson is confident that his company is in a great position to grow. Strong infrastructure, good assets, meaningful JVs and a potential A$50M valuation in the near future are all reasons that investors may consider Alt Resources as an investment opportunity.

The winner of the 2019 Macquarie University 3MT Gillian Smith, PhD candidate in the department of Ancient History, is the latest guest on the ResourcefulHDR podcast. Gillian went on to win the Asia Pacific 3MT Peoples' Choice awared and in this episode she talks about how she decided to enter the competition after a 'pep talk' from her Supervisor, Dr Susanne Binder when she was feeling deflated after being in the 3MT audience as a new PhD candidate – wondering whether her research was worthy. She speaks about how she decided to become an Egyptologist and her plan to undertake a PhD to achieve this goal, while still at school. In this episode we discuss the value of studying Ancient History and how it provides the capacity to gain perspective, particularly in relation to the constant complexity of societies. She talks about how the love of the PhD project needs to be there from the beginning because interest needs to be sustained over time and to recognise the privilege of being surrounded by researchers who are deeply focussed on their topics.

Nine graduate students from a wide array of disciplines will compete for a cash prize as well as a People's Choice Award. The winner of the Tulane event will be sponsored by the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies to compete in the regional 3-Minute Thesis Competition at the Council of Southern Graduate Schools conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, in February 2016. The first 3-Minute Thesis Competition was held in 2008 at the University of Queensland in Australia; today, 3MT competitions are held in over 200 universities across more than 18 countries worldwide. “This event is designed to help our PhD students communicate the value and integrity of their thesis work to a lay audience,” says Ashley Robison, a senior program coordinator in the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. “There's a great range of gender, internationality and racial diversity, as well as thesis topics.” Students will have exactly three minutes to relay their life's work — a second more and they are disqualified. “Thirty-eight percent the students at Tulane are graduate students and post-docs,” says Briana Mohan, a career advisor in the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. “The work they do, they are so invested in, and they are so excited about, and it is really the kind of ground-breaking research that is going to shape our future and have an impact on our country and the world. “The fact that they are getting three minutes to share that with the public, when most of the time they're talking to their faculty members or their classmates, or in their confined worlds of being researchers and writers, is really exciting.”

Matt and Erin wrap up a few loose ends before the holiday week. First, Matt shares DowAgroSciences sulfoxaflor insecticide got a renewed registration. This insecticide targets fluid-feeding insects and was an option for soybean aphid before it was canceled in 2015. Now, sulfoxaflor can be used in a number of crops, but not for corn or soybean; cotton and sorghum have emergency labels in some U.S. states. Over the weekend, a soybean aphid Biotype-2 colony died due to a bad compressor in a growth chamber. Aphids don't tend to do well in temperatures over 100 degrees, and these ladies got cooked. Our labs host all four soybean aphid biotypes plus a few other aphid colonies. Colony management is really important and the maintenance is ongoing to keep plants and aphids healthy. Iowa State University features a 3MT (Three-minute thesis) oral competition this week. Three people featured insect-related presentations (a long video of all the speakers can be found here).Upcoming extension events:ICM Conference (30 Nov, 1 Dec) in AmesCrop Advantage Series (January 2017) in IowaCCA Online Review Course, (on demand) .
