W najlepszym razie to nieudolność, w najgorszym – celowe działanie na szkodę polskiego producenta – ocenił Michał Dworczyk, komentując politykę MON wobec systemów antydronowych i zakupów dronów.Obrona powietrzna to bardzo skomplikowany system, którego nie da się kupić z dnia na dzień, nawet mając górę pieniędzy posypanych złotem i diamentami. Takie systemy buduje się latami– powiedział Michał Dworczyk, europoseł PiS i były wiceminister obrony w rozmowie z Radiem Wnet. Dodał, że „Polska nie jest przygotowana do skutecznej obrony powietrznej i jeszcze długo nie będzie”.Dworczyk przypomniał też, że budowę wielowarstwowej obrony powietrznej rozpoczęto za czasów Antoniego Macierewicza i Mariusza Błaszczaka.Obecna koalicja przykłada do tego za mało uwagi, a niektóre decyzje wręcz osłabiają bezpieczeństwo Polski– podkreślił.Ustawiony przetarg dla Straży Granicznej?Zwrócił też uwagę na problem z polityką zakupową państwa w zakresie systemów antydronowych. Jak podkreślił, jego zdaniem w Straży Granicznej przetarg został zorganizowany w taki sposób, że promował jedno konkretne rozwiązanie izraelskiej firmy.Nie mam nic przeciwko obecności na naszym rynku firm z Niemiec czy Izraela, ale przede wszystkim życzę najlepiej polskim przedsiębiorstwom– mówił były wiceminister obrony.Polskie systemy antydronoweDworczyk zaznaczył, że Polska dysponuje unikatowym w skali światowej rozwiązaniem antydronowym firmy APS, sprawdzonym i szeroko wykorzystywanym na Ukrainie.Jedyny skuteczny system antydronowy w Wojsku Polskim to rozwiązanie polskiej firmy APS. Od lat nie jest jednak modernizowany, mimo że pole walki zmienia się błyskawicznie. Mimo propozycji ze strony tej firmy Ministerstwo Obrony Narodowej nie zdecydowało się na modernizację tych systemów, co absolutnie powszechnym trybem działania i podjęto jakieś próby zmierzające do zakupu niemieckich systemów antydronowych– podkreślił.Polityk ocenił, że w najlepszym razie państwo nie radzi sobie z tą sytuacją, a w najgorszym – celowo tworzy warunki, które wykluczają polskiego producenta i otwierają drogę do zakupu systemów z zagranicy.

In this episode of the Arete Executive Podcast, I speak with Dr Zena Burgess FAICD FAPS, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Psychological Society, about her leadership journey across psychology, governance, and health reform. Zena shares how she scaled APS into a digitally enabled organisation with influence at state and federal levels, while also balancing a diverse board portfolio that includes Diabetes Australia, Bully Zero, and a psychedelic start-up. We discuss the importance of advocacy, how to navigate ambiguity as a leader, and why coaching, networks and patience are essential for long-term success. Zena also reflects on gender barriers she overcame early in her career, the role of vulnerability in leadership, and why aligning heart and mind is the key to effective profit-for-purpose organisations.

Description:The number one thing is relationships – we've all heard that. It's almost a meme. I think “the power of relationships” as an idea exists as two extremes where we tend to over emphasize and at the same time fail to appreciate the full power of relationships. I'm not sure I'm communicating what I mean, but I think it will become clearer in my discussion with today's wonderful guest.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

What are the foundational pieces of building relationships?How does this translate for APs? How can they use your techniques to build bridges with their teachers.2025 seems fundamentally different than the first 24 years of this century.

Drawing from real experience and the tough realities of the Australian property market, Sammy and Jimmy break down the numbers, myths, and emotions behind rentvesting. They discuss why rentvesting can be a powerful wealth creation tool, the pitfalls of jumping too early into homeownership, and how your goals - and your dream home - might change as your portfolio and passive income grow.

If there is a theme running through the late summer podcast episodes, it's this: listen to your teachers. Everything becomes easier when we listen. Today, two former beginning teachers of the year help us elaborate on the why and how of listening.Sponsor Spot 1:I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

She entered education to increase teacher diversity and holds degrees from UNC Charlotte, including a Masters in Latin American Studies. Having studied abroad in South Africa and Germany, she teaches multilingual students with a global philosophy rooted in Ubuntu ("I am, because we are") and the Mayan expression In Lak'ech ("You are my other me").

He also leads the school's teacher-equity team, student-equity team, and Minority Achievers Program.His pedagogical approach centers on using historical understanding to create a better world today. Xavier has co-presented with students at venues including the National Governors Association and North Carolina's General Assembly, and helped students publish op-eds.

Last week I had Elena Aguilar as a guest and she talked about how disempowering a time this is. There are so many ways that people - young and old - are being told they don't matter, aren't relevant, have no power, and, worst of all, don't belong. The most obvious and egregious arena is politics and society, but social media, the economics, and the climate also make us feel small. Elena talked about how listening, and asking questions that put agency into the answerer's hands, were tangible ways to communicate to people they matter. I hope all our listeners will embrace that idea that we can use questions and listening to increase agency. I'd love to have a discussion around this  - as it applies to all of us, students, families, teachers, admins. What's your take?What questions can we be asking?How do we return agency to teachers and students?We are all North Carolinians, a state with a Democratic Governor and almost a supermajority Republican Legislature. As in many other states, there has been a lot of legislative activity aimed at chilling discourse in classrooms, especially as it relates to history. The bills have not become laws, but there is a chilling effect nonetheless. It is a scary time to cling to our authenticity and to push the edge of our teaching. How do you nurture your own strength?How do you nurture student agency?What can school leaders do to foster courage and authenticity in their teachers?Sponsor Spot 3:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast…Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction.

On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss how New Mexico's health care crisis and education crisis (along with other problems facing the state) share similar patterns and how/why the politicians have failed to address things for their own self-interest.  Environmental groups say New Mexico's clean fuel standard could worsen environmental issues. Paul and Wally discuss how the situation in Santa Fe highlights problems with NM's capital outlay process. Deb Haaland (or her campaign) had another interesting tweet this week in which she seemingly called out Gov. Lujan Grisham. Channel 7 KOAT did a story discussing incumbent Mayor Tim Keller's fundraising. RGF appeared to discuss the taxpayer-funded campaign finance system which is helping him with that advantage.  NM Biz coalition has an interesting poll on the Mayor's race. What'd they find? RGF is hosting a gala in November to celebrate the organization's 25th birthday. Paul and Wally wrap up with a few items including (again) overheated classrooms at APS.

"Just because you have a water management plan doesn't mean it's working."  That's the hard truth Matt Freije, founder and CEO of HC Info, delivers in this episode of Scaling UP! H2O. As the architect behind LAMPS — a leading cloud-based platform for water management programs — Matt joins Trace Blackmore to explore the critical evolution of water safety, compliance standards, and real-world implementation challenges facing facilities in 2025.   Beyond the Binder: Water Management Plans That Actually Work  In an era of heightened awareness and shifting regulations, simply checking the compliance box is no longer enough. Matt walks us through the CDC data and ASHRAE findings that make a strong case for active, ongoing water management — not just documentation. Drawing from recent outbreak investigations, he explains why implementation, not content, is often the root failure.  Trace and Matt discuss the widespread misconception that water management plans guarantee zero Legionella. They also address the real barriers preventing facilities from taking action — from budget limitations to internal roadblocks — and what water professionals can do to influence smarter, risk-based decisions. Regulatory Pressure, AI Integration, and What's Coming Next  With ASHRAE 514, AAMI ST108, and ASSE 12080 gaining ground, the water industry is seeing increased scrutiny, especially in healthcare and hospitality facilities. Matt outlines how these evolving standards are transforming expectations and forcing a shift in accountability.  The conversation takes a forward-looking turn as they explore the power of AI and aggregated analytics to optimize pathogen control. With 10,000 buildings in the LAMPS system, HC Info is preparing to offer data that could shape public health outcomes nationwide — a move that could redefine how we benchmark performance and interpret Legionella test data at scale. Culture, Purpose, and Long-Term Vision  As a mechanical engineer with an epidemiology background, Matt also reflects on the human side of leadership — from building a values-driven team to embracing his faith as a cornerstone of decision-making. His message for water treaters is clear: “Either do it well or don't do it.”  For facilities leaders, his advice is to stop fearing complexity and start leveraging the tools available — because water management done right can improve not just compliance, but health outcomes, asset longevity, and operational resilience. Conclusion  This episode is a masterclass in how to future-proof your water safety strategy. With actionable insights, emerging technologies, and a clear call to accountability, Matt Freije reminds us that smart water management is both a technical responsibility and a moral imperative.  Listen to the full conversation to understand how new standards, digital tools, and intentional leadership are shaping the future of water safety.

A half-hearted water management plan can do more harm than good.”   “Most facilities still don't have a water management plan — and many don't even know what one is.”  “Just because you had the conversation once doesn't mean it stuck. With Legionella, repeating the important things is critical.”  “Analytics should make the problem obvious — you shouldn't need a PhD to interpret what your water data is telling you.”    Connect with Matt Freije  Email: mfreije@hcinfo.com Website: Legionella Water Management Plans  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattfreije    Guest Resources Mentioned   HC Info  ASHRAE Standard 188 (Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems)   ASSE 12080 Certification: Professional Qualifications for Legionella Water Safety and Management Personnel  Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health by Casey Means  The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown   John Adams by David McCullough (Audiobook)   John Adams by David McCullough (Paperback)    Keep Your Love On: Connection Communication and Boundaries by Danny Silk (Paperback)  The Bible (KJV)     Scaling UP!

Gruzijā valdošā partija "Gruzijas sapnis" pamazām izrēķinās ar saviem opozicionāriem, tos aizturot un liekot aiz restēm. Lai gan protesti Gruzijas ielās notikuši praktiski katru dienu mēnešiem ilgi, situāciju tie nespēj mainīt. Eiropas Savienība tikmēr piedraud atcelt Gruzijai piešķirto bezvīzu režīmu. Eiropā lielākā uzmanība ir pievērsta tirdzniecības vienošanās noslēgšanai ar ASV. Par ekonomiskajiem aspektie runājam Krustpunktā, bet šajā raidījumā mazliet par politiskajām blaknēm. Par ASV runājot, jāpiemin arī tā saucamie Epstīna faili, kas būtiski iespaido politisko noskaņojumu ASV. Vēl lūkojam saprast, kāpēc Šveice uz parlamentu vadītāju konferenci Ženēvā ir ļāvusi ierasties Krievijas domes vadībai? Ir izsniegtas vīzas, lai gan delegācijas dalībnieki, ieskaitot domes priekšsēdētāju, ir iekļauti sankciju sarakstos un Šveice ir pievienojusies Eiropas Savienības sankcijām. Aktualitātes komentē Ģeopolitikas pētījumu centra vecākais pētnieks Jānis Kažociņš un portāla LSM.lv žurnālists Ģirts Kasparāns. Runājot par Krievijas delegācijas ierašanos konferencē Šveicē, sazināmies ar Saeimas priekšsēdētājas biedri Antoņinu Nenaševu ("Progresīvie"), kura piedalās šajā konferencē.  Jaunumi no globālā golfa laukuma Pagājušās nedēļas otrajā pusē Donalds Tramps pavadīja četras dienas Skotijā, apraudzīdams savus turienes golfa kūrortus un pie reizes šo to nokārtodams ar „Vecās pasaules” līderiem. Vispirms bija tikšanās ar Eiropas Komisijas prezidenti Urzulu fon der Leienu Tērberijā, Skotijas rietumu piekrastē, tās finālā paziņojot par noslēgto tirdzniecības vienošanos starp Briseli un Vašingtonu. Daži iztēlo notikušo kā Eiropas kapitulāciju, kas gan ir krietni izkāpināts vērtējums. Eiropai nāksies samierināties ar 15% ievedmuitas tarifu, pie tam nepiemērojot nekādu bāzes tarifu amerikāņu importam, taču nav piepildījušās drūmākās prognozes, kas saistījās ar krietni lielākiem tarifiem Eiropas automobiļu, lidmašīnu un pusvadītāju eksportam. Tāpat Eiropa apņēmusies līdz Trampa prezidentūras termiņa beigām importēt amerikāņu naftu, sašķidrināto gāzi un citus energoresursus 750 miljardu eiro vērtībā, kā arī papildus investēt Savienotājās Valstīs 600 miljardus. Ja par pirmo apņemšanos tiek teikts, ka tā nav reālistiska, ciktāl tas nozīmētu, ka amerikāņiem būtu jānovirza praktiski viss savs pašreizējais attiecīgo energoresursu eksports tikai uz Eiropas Savienību, tad otrās apjomi neko daudz nepārsniedzot domājamo investīciju summu, kādu Eiropas uzņēmumi arī bez īpašas vienošanās varētu ieguldīt Savienotajās Valstīs. Vispārējais secinājums ir, ka vienošanās, protams, nav vienlīdzīga, tomēr tā no Eiropas puses esot pieņemama cena par izvairīšanos no tirdzniecības kara ar amerikāņiem. No Tērberijas prezidents un golferis, britu premjera Kīra Stārmera pavadīts, pārcēlās uz Aberdīnas apkārtni Lielbritānijas pretējā krastā, kur atklāja jaunu golfa laukumu savā Balmedī klubā. Pirmdien, 28. jūlijā, pirms doties pāri okeānam, viņš pārsteidza žurnālistus ar jaunu pavērsienu Krievijas sakarā, pasludinot, ka atceļ iepriekš līdz septembra sākumam noteikto termiņu, kurā Putinam vajadzēja vienoties ar Ukrainu par karadarbības pārtraukšanu. Tagad viņš dodot Krievijas vadonim vēl desmit līdz divpadsmit dienas, pirms ieviesīšot smagus sekundāros tarifus Krievijas energoresursu patērētājiem. Atgriezušos no šī brauciena, Baltā nama saimnieku sagaida pašmāju aktualitātes, kurās pēdējās nedēļās dominē t.s. „Epstīna faili”. Uzņēmējs Džefrijs Epstīns 2019. gada jūlijā izdarīja pašnāvību cietuma kamerā, kur bija nonācis kā aizdomās turētais par nepilngadīgo iesaistīšanu prostitūcijā. Versijas, ka Epstīna lietas izmeklēšanas materiālos atrodamas ziņas par pedofilu tīklu, kuram pieder ne viens vien nīstās politiskās elites pārstāvis, ieņem svarīgu vietu MAGA kustības folklorā. Tramps, priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā uzturējis spēkā priekšstatu, ka ievēlēšanas gadījumā raus priekškaru šiem derdzīgajiem noslēpumiem, nesen lika daudziem no attiecīgās publikas vilties, kad paziņoja, ka „failos” neesot ko redzēt un visa šī lieta esot viņa ienaidnieku demokrātu sagudrojums. Tikām presē ir nonākušas ziņas, ka izmeklēšanas materiālos figurējot arī paša prezidenta vārds. Ziedi noziedzniecei Šobrīd Ženēvā notiek starptautiskās nevalstiskās organizācijas Starpparlamentu savienība rīkotā 6. Vispasaules parlamentu priekšsēžu konference un ar to saistītais 15. Parlamentu priekšsēžu – sieviešu samits. Daudzi no pasākuma dalībniekiem, jādomā, bija šokēti, kad tajā uzradās arī visai respektabla Krievijas Federācijas delegācija ar Federālās Sapulces priekšsēdētāju Valentīnu Matvijenko priekšgalā. Kā liecina reportāžas, ierodoties Ženēvā, Matvijenko kundze sagaidīta ar ziediem. Gan pati agresorvalsts parlamenta spīkere, gan divi citi delegācijas locekļi – Krievijas Liberāldemokrātiskās partijas līderis Leonīds Sluckis un Krievijas Valsts Domes (parlamenta apakšpalātas) priekšsēža vietnieks Pjotrs Tolstojs – ir pakļauti personālām sankcijām, tai skaitā iebraukšanas liegumam Šengenas zonā, par lomu, kāda viņiem bijusi Krievijas agresijas atbalstīšanā un politiskajā nodrošināšanā. Matvijenko paraksts ir uz attiecīgā Federālās Sapulces lēmuma par Krimas aneksiju 2014. gadā un balsojuma protokola, ar kuru Putinam tika dota „zaļā gaisma” iebrukumam Ukrainā. Ja Šveices valdībai kā pasākuma uzņemošajai pusei teorētiski bija tiesības pieļaut izņēmumu sankciju piemērošanā, tad Itālijas valdībai, kura ļāvusi Krievijas valdības lidmašīnai šķērsot savu gaisa telpu, šādi rīkoties nebija pat formāla pamata. Tikusi pie vārda konferencē, Matvijenko lika klātesošajiem uzklausīt kārtējās pasāžas par tēmu „astoņus gadus bumboja Donbasu” un citus Krievijas propagandas pekstiņus. Daudzi delegāti vairījušies nonākt ar skandalozo viešņu kopīgās oficiālās fotogrāfijās, kā arī pagodināt ar savu klātbūtni viņas uzstāšanās. Ka izteicies Ukrainas Ārlietu ministrijas oficiālais pārstāvis Heorhijs Tihijs, viņa valsts nenogurstoši strādāšot, lai organizētu šai dāmai vēl vienu braucienu – uz Hāgu, kur drīz sāks darbu Īpašais Tribunāls agresijas noziegumam pret Ukrainu. Gruzija puspagriezienā pret Rietumiem  Raksturojot pašreizējā Gruzijas režīma ģeopolitisko orientāciju, nebūtu gluži pareizi sacīt, ka oficiālā Tbilisi ir pagriezusi Rietumiem muguru. Šobrīd Gruzijā norit militārās mācības ar divu tūkstošu NATO dalībvalstu un partnervalstu karavīru, tai skaitā apvienotās Lietuvas-Polijas-Ukrainas brigādes, tāpat Vācijas, Rumānijas, Moldovas u.c. vienību līdzdalību. Apņemšanās virzīties uz iestāšanos Ziemeļatlantijas aliansē joprojām nav svītrota no Gruzijas konstitūcijas. Tajā pat laikā vēl šomēnes Eiropas Parlamentam nācās pieņemt skarbi nosodošu rezolūciju par Gruzijas pašreizējās varas rīcību. Jūnija nogale iezīmēja juridisku izrēķināšanos ar redzamākajiem Gruzijas opozīcijas līderiem. Bijušais partijas Apvienotā nacionālā kustība vadītājs Nika Melija saņēmis astoņus mēnešus cietumā, viņa partijas biedrs Givi Targamadze – septiņus mēnešus, vēl četri citi opozīcijas spēku līderi – līdzīga apjoma cietumsodus. Apsūdzības saturs visiem vienāds: atteikšanās liecināt t.s. Culukiani komisijai – Gruzijas parlamentā izveidotai pagaidu izmeklēšanas komisijai deputātes Tejas Culukiani vadībā, kurai jāizvērtē nelikumības, kuras it kā notikušas prezidenta Miheila Saakašvili varas periodā. Vēl viens opozīcijas līderis Nika Gvaramija, kā arī kādreizējais iekšlietu ministrs Iraklijs Okruašvili atrodas pirmstiesas apcietinājumā. Pašam eksprezidentam Saakašvili šī gada martā tiesa par it kā veiktu valsts līdzekļu izšķērdēšanu piesprieda deviņus gadus cietumā, tādējādi par trīs gadiem pagarinot jau agrāk piespriesto cietumsodu, kā arī gandrīz simt tūkstošu eiro naudas sodu. Aiz restēm atrodas arī daudzi pagājušā gada nogalē notikušo protestu dalībnieki – daži vēl pirmstiesas izmeklēšanā, citi jau notiesāti, tai skaitā ar vairāku gadu ieslodzījuma termiņiem. Eiropas Savienības institūcijas piedraudējušas Tbilisi, ka varētu tikt pārskatīts līdzšinējais bezvīzu režīms ieceļošanai savienībā. Šādu lēmumu Eiropadome var pieņemt ar kvalificēto balsu vairākumu, kamēr kādas skarbākas sankcijas, kā aktīvu iesaldēšana, visdrīzāk bloķētu Eiropas kvazidemokrātu duets Viktors Orbans un Roberts Fico. Tiesa, ir pazīmes, kas liecina, ka Gruzija nav gluži kurla pret Briseles toņa maiņu. Pēdējās dienās atlikta lēmumu pasludināšana pāris protestu dalībnieku prāvās, tāpat vairākiem notiesātajiem opozīcijas līderiem doti mājieni, ka prezidents Miheils Kavelašvili varētu viņus apžēlot, ja viņi apņemtos neboikotēt oktobrī paredzētās pašvaldību vēlēšanas.   Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

 “The winning combination will include not just removal—but real destruction of PFAS.” - Brian Liotta PFAS: The Invisible Challenge Reshaping Water Treatment  PFAS chemicals are everywhere—from consumer products to our bloodstream. But as regulations tighten, water treatment professionals must now evolve faster than ever. In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore speaks with Brian Liotta, Director of Marketing and Product Development at USALCO, about the shifting regulatory landscape and the advanced technologies being developed to monitor, remove, and destroy PFAS compounds. From Industry Curiosity to Regulatory Urgency  Brian candidly shares how he “fell into” the world of PFAS, sparked by client questions and his work with AWT's Wastewater Subcommittee. Over time, he became one of the industry's clearest voices on how PFAS is transforming everything from chemical manufacturing to compliance practices. In this conversation, Brian breaks down the science, the timeline, and the technologies professionals need to understand—whether they're manufacturers, consultants, or field engineers. Testing, Treatment, and Destruction: What's Working and What's Coming  Testing for PFAS isn't straightforward. Brian outlines why high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry are still standard, despite the lack of affordable, field-ready kits. Then, he walks us through the big three: granular activated carbon, ion exchange, and membrane filtration—explaining how each performs and what their operational limits are. He also introduces lesser-known but emerging strategies like foam fractionation, electrostatic concentration, and supercritical water oxidation—some of which could shape the next generation of end-to-end PFAS solutions.  The Legal Front: EPA Rules, State Action, and the Chevron Doctrine  The conversation turns toward the regulatory environment: from the EPA's national drinking water standard of 4 parts per trillion to individual state actions in California, Maine, New York, and others. Brian unpacks the implications of the Chevron Doctrine being overturned and why this legal shift may slow federal implementation but accelerate state-led policies. What It Means for Water Treatment Professionals  Whether you're new to industrial water or managing a large portfolio, Brian delivers a simple but powerful takeaway: understand the regulations, study the technologies, and provide solutions. With PFAS-related services on the rise, the opportunity for technical leadership and business growth is clear—but only for those who do their homework and move early.  Conclusion  PFAS isn't just a regulatory buzzword—it's a catalyst for innovation. As Brian notes, the most successful professionals will be those who bridge the gap between evolving science and real-world application.

What happens when a nuclear chemist pivots into industrial water treatment? In this episode, host Trace Blackmore is joined by Dr. Jasbir Gill, President at Water Energy Solutions Inc, whose career spans five decades of breakthrough innovations in water chemistry and sustainability. From developing predictive modeling systems to creating new polymer standards, Dr. Gill shares how scientific rigor and practical experience came together to shape tools still used today.   “We were not just saving water—we were calculating the true cost of energy and environmental impact.” From Nuclear Chemistry to Water Treatment  Dr. Gill begins by tracing his academic roots in nuclear and inorganic chemistry from IIT Roorkee, followed by early post-doctoral research in Italy and England. While initially headed for a career in nuclear separations, a chance encounter rerouted his path to the U.S., where his work at SUNY Buffalo introduced him to the intricacies of water chemistry. That foundational knowledge laid the groundwork for his transformative career at Calgon, and later Nalco.   The Birth of CalGuard: Predictive Modeling Ahead of Its Time  In one of the most compelling parts of the episode, Dr. Gill walks us through the creation of CalGuard—an award-winning predictive modeling tool that transformed how chemical dosing and scaling behavior are calculated. Integrating thermodynamic principles, field data, and statistical regression, the CalGuard model helped standardize customized water treatment programs across regional chemistries and system variables.   Defining the Water-Energy-Carbon Nexus  A highlight of Dr. Gill's later career came when he began asking hard questions about sustainability. How much energy is consumed per gallon of water saved? What's the carbon footprint of that savings? He shares compelling stories of his work with nuclear power plants, showing how acid use for pH control contributed to CO₂ emissions—insights that later shaped his independent firm, Water Energy Solutions.   From Chromate to Phosphate: Reinventing Treatment Chemistry  When chromate was phased out of industrial water treatment, Dr. Gill was at the forefront of developing phosphate-based alternatives. He recounts the invention of the AAM 60/40 copolymer in his lab—now an industry standard—and how field trials and real-time testing guided product refinement. This section underscores how practical chemistry, adaptability, and client trust converge to move the industry forward.   The J-Factor and Real-World Impact  Dr. Gill explains his invention of the J-factor—a conversion metric allowing new inhibitors to be benchmarked against legacy ones. Developed through comparative field tests and algorithmic modeling, the J-factor exemplifies the intersection of empirical science and industry need, with wide applicability even decades later.   Final Reflections: Leadership, Teamwork, and Lifelong Curiosity  In the closing segment, Dr. Gill reflects on the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and focusing on one's work amid organizational change. His stories—from field trips in Montana to building mobile labs for rapid field testing—reveal the human side of technical innovation.  This episode is more than a lesson in chemistry—it's a case study in innovation, leadership, and long-term thinking. Dr. Gill's insights remind us that successful water treatment isn't just about products; it's about persistence, systems thinking, and data-driven action.  Share this episode with colleagues committed to impactful, sustainable water management.

Together, they unpack the fundamentals of gold-backed ETFs, taking a closer look at how these products work and address some of the most common myths in the market. The conversation covers everything from how gold ETFs are created and redeemed to the role of authorised participants (APs) in maintaining price stability and liquidity. Together, they also reflect on 20 years since the launch of GLD, the first U.S.-listed gold ETF, and explore how ETFs have revolutionised access to gold for both retail and institutional investors. Notable Quotes:  “An ETF, or as it's known, an exchange-traded fund, pools assets from many different investors and gives them an easy option to buy into a diversified product. They'll buy shares of this product, which will allow them to get access to many different underlying investments.” — Amanda Krichman   “I've seen it with my own eyes. For the two products that we work on with GLD and GLDM, the gold is there. The shares of the fund won't be released until the physical gold bars are delivered and allocated within the accounts for each of the ETFs.” — Amanda Krichman  “You might be wondering, how do these authorised participants make money? It's based on the arbitrage of how that's trading in the secondary market and to help keep the price as close as possible, less expensive to the underlying value of the gold per share.”  — Amanda Krichman  Disclaimer:  For additional information on SPDR® Gold Shares (GLD®) and SPDR® Gold MiniShares (GLDM®), please visit www.spdrgoldshares.com.   The information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute a recommendation, investment advice, or offer for the purchase or sale of gold, any gold-related products or services or any other products, services, securities or financial instruments.

Do patients and their healthcare teams view the impact of indolent systemic mastocytosis on quality of life in the same way? In this episode of The Itch Review, we unpack key findings from a May 4, 2025, descriptive study from The Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncology, “Patient and Advanced Practitioner Perspectives on Symptom Burden and Symptom Management in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis.” Is there a disconnect between what patients feel and what providers think when it comes to indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM)? A new study suggests yes, revealing a mismatch between how patients and advanced practitioners (APs) perceive disease control and what that means for care. This episode dives into whether research like this could help bridge the gap between patient experience and clinical perspective. What we cover in our episode about the indolent systemic mastocytosis: Understanding ISM: What makes indolent systemic mastocytosis a unique multisystem condition? Symptom burden explained: Frequency, severity, duration, distress, and functional interference. Patient vs practitioner views: Understanding the most impactful symptoms differs from patient to AP.  Practical tools: The Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis-Symptom Assessment Form (ISM-SAF) is a validated instrument that can be used to determine symptoms and severity. Barriers and solutions: Why tracking symptoms is hard and how clinics can improve coordination. AP-focused Toolkit: Resources to help nurse practitioners, PAs, and pharmacists provide patient-centered ISM care.

Jamil Zaki earned his degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Boston University, obtained a Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard Center for Brain Science. He is currently a professor of Psychology and director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab, where he has become an international authority on empathy, which he describes not as an innate trait but as one that can be trained through practices ranging from meditation to compassionate attention to others. His research and science communication work, which he leads through the platform The People's Science, have been recognized by organizations such as the Society for Neuroscience, APA, APS, and Autism Speaks.   In addition to publishing over 100 scientific articles and being a regular contributor to outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Scientific American, Zaki is also the author of books such as The War for Kindness (2019) and Hope for Cynics (2024), in which he defends values like empathy, understanding, and emotional communication almost as acts of resistance: “We all need to think about our capacity to connect with others — especially those who are different from us — as an act of resistance, a way to fight back against the popular discourse that is dividing us and destroying our culture.” Zaki reminds us that in a world as polarized as ours, cultivating hope means choosing to trust — and that this decision, both human and radical, can transform our relationships, societies, and cultures.
