What if the biggest problem with the way we manage people is that we're measuring the wrong thing? In this episode of An Educated Guest, Todd Zipper sits down with Fouad ElNaggar, co-founder and CEO of Array, to explore his provocative argument that the workforce needs to move from hours to outcomes. Rather than treating workers as interchangeable units of labor, Fouad believes employers should understand the value individuals actually create, reward high performers accordingly, and use technology, training, and better management to unlock dramatically greater productivity.Fouad brings a remarkable perspective to the conversation. He has been an entrepreneur, venture capitalist at Redpoint Ventures, Chief Strategy Officer of CBS Interactive, co-founder of Sapho, which was acquired by Citrix for $220 million, and a board member at Yahoo. At Array, he's applying lessons from technology, investing, and company building to what he sees as one of the world's largest broken marketplaces: labor. Fouad explains Array's model of combining software, staffing, and services and its framework of identify, amplify, and coordinate to find motivated workers, help them become more productive, and connect individual performance directly to business results.Todd and Fouad also dig into the disconnect between education and employment, workforce churn, the importance of grit and persistence, and what AI will actually mean for American workers. Fouad offers a fascinating distinction between the knowledge economy and the "essential economy," arguing that AI could disrupt white-collar work much faster than jobs requiring people to interact with the physical world. Ultimately, the conversation comes back to the American dream and a powerful question: What if greater productivity could simultaneously create better businesses, higher wages, and more opportunity for workers?

How can nearly losing your business help you shift from one mindset to another? Welcome back to The Property Management Show, where we deep dive into the world of property management, marketing, and entrepreneurship. I’m your host, Marie Tepman from Fourandhalf Marketing Agency. Today, we are joined by Ping Hsu, who has built something really incredible that a lot of people are striving to build. We're talking about how he got there and what mistakes were made along the way so that we can learn from those for ourselves. PUT TABLE HERE What Did Ping Hsu Think He Was Building? In 2019, when Spotted Properties began working with Fourandhalf, it was a much smaller company. Ping had begun as a real estate investor, and after considering a career in engineering decided that real estate is what he wanted to do long-term. Property management was something that he did on occasion, and he saw it as a way to expand his network. When he could not find the right property manager for his own properties, he combined the real estate and the property management and things grew from there. The recurring income in property management was especially attractive. Spotted Properties grew from about 130 doors in 2019 to around 800 doors today. What happened during that journey? How Can Marketing and Opportunity Help a Property Management Company Expand? Ping says that working with Fourandhalf allowed the company to build a good foundation for marketing. They were ranking in the top three on Google, and their social presence really exploded, which created a lot of demand. Add to that the fact that a few property management companies in Hamilton failed, so new clients were being on-boarded pretty quickly. This led to a larger payroll and a desire to run a more passive business as an owner. As the expansion really took off, it was impossible not to see all the opportunities for mini-businesses. Because Ping was dealing with so many vendors and watching money come in and out, he began to wonder why he was constantly paying all these people. Painting, for example, was something he always had to hire people to do. There was a lot of money spent on waste management. And pest control. Real estate agents. So many of these basic services seemed to be costing him a lot of money, and he wondered if that was money he could earn instead. So Spotted Properties began to internalize those systems. Eventually, sixteen or seventeen employees were on board, as well as a real estate team and a marketing budget, and this is how Ping realized it's possible to scale a company too fast. He could see that they were spread too thin. When Is It Time to Start Saying No and Focus on Your Core Business? It's tempting to want to continue adding lines of business. If you have a friend who can spray for pests, it seems easy enough to take on the pest control right? It seems like it's going to make you more money than paying an outsider. Exiting does not have to be difficult and it does not have to jeopardize your business. Ping began to notice: He was paying technicians to do the work he did not want to pay outside vendors to do, but they did not have full schedules. Yet, he still had to pay them. The math makes sense when those employees are busy all the time (or even 75% of the time). It's still extra payroll when you're trying to keep up with three or four businesses and you need to develop ways to keep your employees busy. This was the time to look at the company's core area of expertise and stick to what they did best. Another temptation? Virtual assistants. Here are the challenges that Ping discovered with VAs: It was hard to find a good fit, especially given the general difference in time zones. It was easy to delegate the things he didn't want to do, like phone calls and vendor coordination. Quality dropped and everyone got frustrated. Ping stopped and asked himself what his core business was. What was his profession? The answer was pretty simple: property management. He began integrating up instead of integrating down. What does that mean? For Ping and his business, it meant focusing on asset management and doing more than what typically property management companies did. The real estate sales raised capital for the long-term holds. The company began focusing on property management again, but they created an entire ecosystem that fed into the core property management base. How Can Property Managers Position Themselves as Asset Managers and Advisors? In today's market, it can feel like basic property management is a commodity. Ping says one of the most important things his company did was to stop seeing themselves as property managers. Once he removed that label, the real growth began. Here's what he did: Began a YouTube channel called Property Hustlers. He talked about how to invest in real estate, which during COVID a lot of people were interested in, thanks to a strong market. Provided education through video on how to acquire properties, how to finance them, and how to manage the operations. Shifting the conversation from how to manage a property to how to plan for additional investments. Beginning conversations on a higher level. There was no longer any space to argue with a client about why a repair is $75 instead of $55. Relationships with investors became more meaningful, and growth was pretty quick. Ping credits something he heard at a Fourandhalf conference, where it was suggested that if every owner you work with added one more door to their portfolio, you'd double your property management business. That made sense to him and it's why he decided to position the company a little differently. Is it Possible to Double Your Property Management Business? Ping said he did it by talking to owners about new things. They might approach him hoping to discuss their owner statements, and he'd refer them to someone else within the company. What he wanted to discuss was how to save several hundred dollars every month and how to earn $40k to $60k by the end of the year. The conversation shifted and the owners began listening. Introduce me as your mentor. That was Ping's instruction to the owners he was working with. Not to introduce him as their property manager, but as their real estate investment mentor. “He's been walking me through how to increase my portfolio.” “You should talk to Ping for more advice.” It took a year to fully shift his identity from property manager to investment advisor. It's not that Ping has neglected the property management part of his business. He has well-trained staff taking care of the day to day and when investors buy their new properties, they understand that he has a role in how they're managed. But he created his own brand, eXP Real Estate, to separate himself from the owner statements and the leasing and the tenants and to focus more on the long-term strategies of owners who listen to his advice. Once he created this separation, everything changed. Does Video Content Really Make a Difference? Ping says that it does. When he was making YouTube videos, he could create educational conversations for specific things that owners might be thinking about, and then he'd send those videos to them. Maybe it's a video on how to stabilize a portfolio or how to offload a property that's not performing. He could control the narrative. As he stuck with this new approach, he found it was eventually easier to raise capital and that he was doing more transactions within the same client audience. Good things take time. Trial and error also takes time. It's hard to remember this when you're growing your property management business, but it's an important lesson. Who Are the Owner Leads that Mean the Most? The shift Ping implemented in his own business meant a shift in the owners he wanted to work with at Spotted Properties. Only two types of portfolios are their targets: student rentals and multifamily properties. These are the owners he looks for. Student rentals are a great niche because the turnover timing is so predictable. This is something Fourandhalf has always talked about: identify the properties and the owners that fit your business model and your target margins. When you're just starting out, it makes sense to take on any property that needs to be managed. You don't yet know what the good fit might be. For example, Ping thought Airbnbs would be a good idea. He tested out three or four Airbnb properties and knew it was not going to work for him going forward. What Can We Learn About How Ping and His Partner Created Property Hustlers? Some questions Marie had about how Ping and his business partner Andrew created the Property Hustlers YouTube channel and brand: How did Ping prepare the team for this shift? Was the Spotted Properties team completely outside of this endeavor? Were there any conversations had? Did processes change to account for this new approach? Ping said he and Andrew were intentional about hiring people smarter than them when it came to understanding property management. That increased the cost of talent but it also meant they (Ping and Andrew) could also remove themselves from a lot of the day to day work. Turns out the team was more than happy to get them out of the way. Now, that team had the authority they needed to make the property management part of the business really work well. Why does it matter that the staff is happy? It creates employee retention. Efficiency and trust increase. It keeps clients happy. They know they're working with a good company when they're dealing with the same people year after year. How Has Marketing Evolved in this Growth Story? Ping's property management company successfully showed up in the top three hits for Hamilton, Ontario on Google, thanks to the blogs they were writing and the SEO-driven website. Reviews were coming in, too, and despite a few bad reviews (there are always a few), his Google review stars were at about 4.4. Then, he shut down Google reviews. Why? They stopped using a phone line, hoping to move entirely online, and Ping knew that was going to create some frustration with tenants. He didn't want to open himself up to a lot of bad reviews all at once. They weren't trying to grow their property management business. A natural progression was what they were after, but there was no interest in adding another hundred doors or more. They're back to working on marketing specifically for student rentals, using Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) to attract new leads in the student rental space. Right now, they're working with about 140 owners on around 800 doors. That's counting each student tenant as their own door. Operational Questions: How Can Property Managers Create this Kind of Vertical Integration? Marie and Ping have talked about where he started and what he's built. How can other property management companies learn from this? Here's what Ping suggests: Communication. Start by creating a different domain for communication. As the company owner, you want to reduce the communication you're doing on the things that aren't as important. You don't want to be responding to complaints. Team Building. You have to trust your team to solve those problems and deal with those complaints. Establish Scope. Map out what you're doing and what your team is doing. If you have the right talent, you can back away from all the notifications that you don't actually need. Hire Smart. Look for the people who impress you right away. This is what Ping learned; the three-month probation period shouldn't necessarily be that long. He knew within a week that his leasing manager was going to be amazing. Good talent will want to do more. They'll want to grow. Is it really this easy? Not always. Mistakes can be made. Ping's first hire had access to his credit card and that's how Ping lost $90,000 in one year. He almost gave up on the business entirely. The employee had a gambling issue that no one knew about. The lesson? You can't just trust people blindly. Trust the employees who have proven that they are trustworthy. With $90,000 gone, Ping wasn't sure he'd be able to meet his payroll obligations and it felt like he would lose the business. Instead, he shoveled some snow. He and his girlfriend, who is now his wife, shoveled snow at his properties during a particularly snowy winter and saved some money and made the necessary ends meet. What is the GWC Hiring Framework? Get. Want. Capacity. That's how Ping hires. The person gets the job. Does the person want the job? Is there enthusiasm? Initiative? Does the person have the capacity to do the work that's needed? People can always be trained when they have the initiative. When local companies were shutting down and Spotted Properties was taking on a lot of new business, Ping knew he had to hire strategically and he also knew he didn't know how to do that yet. That's how this framework was created. How Can Property Managers Approach Owners as a Coach or an Asset Adviser? We've established that the real estate advising and the coaching feeds the property management business. But how to begin this conversation with owners? Ping says his script was simple. It went something like: “Hey John, now that your property is fully stabilized, what’s the plan? What’s your plan for the next couple of years? What do you want to do with your real estate portfolio?” They start talking about their vision, their dream outcome, which is, usually that they'd like to get a few more properties so they don't have to work so hard. Or: “Now that we have Madison dealing with the tenant issue or a paralegal taking care of the eviction through the Tenant Board, how are you feeling?” They'll usually be feeling ready to grow once they've seen their problem resolved. And that's how the conversation opens up. Ping is willing to be honest in his conversations, and that includes talking about mistakes he's made and situations that didn't go as planned. Owners can use this transparency to avoid their own mistakes. And the vulnerability makes him easy to trust. People can relate to failures. You're likely wondering: is there a fee for the expertise that Ping and Andrew provide? For owners and investors who belong to the Property Hustlers community, there's a fee for one-on-one coaching. Plenty of free resources are available and Ping is happy to have owners learn from that information. And the property management business and education platform feed revenue to each other. We're going to have Ping come back and talk to us about how he continues to evolve. Specifically, with the help of AI. You don't want to miss that conversation, where we'll talk about how you leverage AI to make your property management operation leaner and more efficient, which will free you up to do more things like this.

Looking into the sky at night with radio eyes you would not see the points of starlight forming the constellations instead you would see a very bright, colorful and wildly changing scene. In a desert valley near the Great Basin National Park Caltech is building the world's largest radio telescope called the Deep Synoptic Array or DSA for short.
The Square Kilometre Array is so large it requires two countries: Australia and South Africa. The venture has a new boss, Australian Jessica Dempsey. The Australian part is in Western Australia and will eventually have 131,000 antennae pointing skyward yielding so much cosmic data its computers will be the most powerful ever.

Which structure works best for a property management business: Departmental or Portfolio? This is a topic that can be pretty polarizing in the industry. Welcome back to The Property Management Show, where we deep dive into the world of property management, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Today, we're talking with two prominent property management business owners in Central Florida. Welcome to Maryann Hoffman and Andrew Dougill of Hoffman Realty and David and Stacy Wilson of Wilson Management Group. These experts are talking about the structures they've adopted and offering some advice to property management owners who have not yet decided on how they want to organize their businesses. td {vertical-align: top; border:1px solid #eee;} li {font-size:15px;} .clean-td {border-bottom:none;} Podcast Summary Each type of management structure has its pros and cons. For property management companies that are about to build out their own structure, they need to think about the things they like to do and don't like to do. Deciding what works best will require flexibility. Processes and systems are often more foundational than how a property management company is organized. Guest Bios: Hoffman Realty Andrew and MaryAnn Hoffman are the founders and principals of Hoffman Realty, bringing decades of leadership and experience to the Tampa Bay property management industry. MaryAnn, a licensed real estate broker, entered the industry in 1983 and established Hoffman Realty in 1988 with a clear vision: to deliver personalized, high-quality service to small residential investors. In 2000, Andrew, then Vice President of Engineering at TECO Energy, joined the firm to lead business operations, aligning his background as a long-time real estate investor and landlord with the company's mission. Together, they have built a 38+ year track record of supporting residential investors throughout the Tampa Bay area and currently oversee a portfolio of approximately 450 managed properties. Hoffman Realty's continued success is rooted in a disciplined operational approach and a strong commitment to client service, with MaryAnn remaining actively involved in day-to-day oversight to ensure every client receives personal attention, and no property owner is overlooked. Both Andrew and MaryAnn are deeply engaged in the professional community. Andrew is an active member of Suncoast Tampa Area Realtors (STAR), the Bay Area Apartment Association, and the Tampa Bay Chapter of NARPM. He has served as Property Management Chair for Greater Tampa REALTORS®, is a member of the STAR Government Affairs and Property Management Committees, a former Tampa Bay NARPM Board member, and currently serves as Tampa Bay NARPM Legislative Chair—advocating for landlord-tenant policy at both the state and national levels. Wilson Management Group Wilson Management Group was founded in Orlando in 1986 and has been family-owned and operated ever since. David Wilson obtained his Real Estate Salesperson's license in 1993 and began working for WMG as a property manager. In 2005, he obtained his Real Estate Broker's license and gradually transitioned into overseeing all day-to-day business operations. David, and his wife, Stacy, purchased the business from his parents in 2014, and they run it together with their fantastic team. They are active members of NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers). David has been a member since the Orlando/Central Florida chapter was formed in 1995. They are passionate about keeping Florida a landlord-friendly state, for the benefit of their current and future clients. They participate every year with NARPM in annual legislative summits both in Tallahassee, FL and Washington, DC, advocating for the rights of landlords here in Florida. What Do Successful Central Florida Property Management Companies Look Like? Let's take a look at who we're talking to today: Hoffman Realty is based in the Tampa Bay Area. They serve communities as far north as State Route 54 and as far south as Apollo Beach and Wimauma. They're a departmental structure and have about 450 companies under management. Wilson Management Group is in Orlando. They're a portfolio style management company and serve all of Orange and Seminole Counties, with part of Lake County, Volusia County, and Osceola County within their scope. They also manage about 450 doors. How Do These Structures Differ? At the NARPM Broker/Owner Conference this year, Matthew Tringali of BetterWho presented a framework called The Team Structure Checklist, which highlighted the fundamental differences between each business structure. Here's what Maryann reported from that event: Departmental Structure. Most people are in the office and available for phone calls, answering questions, and serving more specialized areas of expertise. There's one person managing inspections for all properties and another person managing the accounting or the leasing. One point of contact takes care of customer service. There are property management departments. Portfolio structures would have one professional with a portfolio of 75 to 125 properties and they handle everything. The entire experience of that property is under their purview, whether we're talking about maintenance or leasing or tenant management. The primary point of contact is the property manager overseeing the portfolio. Does the Company Structure Impact Quality of Service? When we talk about departmental vs. portfolio structures, is it merely an internal operational decision that owners don't notice, or are there differences in how service is delivered and perceived? It depends. When we talk about portfolio models, we're often talking about companies that cover a larger geographic area, and to expand the business portfolio is necessary. Departmental structures work better for smaller service areas. Both structures can provide excellent client experiences. This depends on policies and procedures and how effectively and consistently the company can apply those. It also depends on staff. A leasing agent having a bad day in a departmental structure will not affect an owner who calls to talk about accounting. But in a portfolio structure, the property manager may be having a bad day, and that can affect any owner who calls for help. The answer to high-quality service delivery in either structure? Having strong systems. Which Model is More Scalable for Property Management Companies? Property management companies may want to know if one type of company can support growth better than the other, but the answer comes down to company goals and vision. Portfolio property management companies are geographically based. Each property manager has a portfolio that they manage, and the properties assigned are based on maintaining boundaries geographically. There's always a bit of overlap, but it's not going to work to have property managers crossing counties while trying to provide great service. David and Stacy want their property managers to concentrate on their portfolios to the best of their ability. So from an expansion perspective, portfolio works for management companies that want to grow geographically. It's possible to add another property manager when new doors are added in different neighborhoods or cities. Departmental management companies grow best within a tight service area. Maryann and Andrew note that their employees go home at night without being on call for owners or tenants who might need them (Maryann hands out her cell phone for that purpose). The point is to have good property managers who communicate well with existing clients before growing. A new client joined Hoffman Realty because he had not heard from his previous property manager for three months. It turned out his assigned manager had left the company, but no one there had told him. In each business structure, growth is only possible with good systems, clear assignment of duties, and smart staff. What Are Some of the Weaknesses in Portfolio and Departmental Property Management Structures? What if a tenant doesn't pay rent? What if there are complaints that repairs are taking too much time? What if a key property manager leaves the company? Portfolio The main challenge for portfolio companies is the loss of that knowledge and expertise when a property anger leaves. And it's also important to be clear about who owns the client. In a portfolio system, you would not want a property manager to leave your company and take your clients with them. Property management is a relationship business. Internal controls are needed no matter what your structure. You will need: Management agreements Independent contractor agreements (this is how Wilson hires) Policies and procedures David and Stacy have done a great job of mitigating risk and establishing that clients belong to the company, not the property manager. Most of the professionals working for them have been with the company for over 15 years. Departmental For departmental companies, it can be a challenge to juggle all the repairs. It requires a lot of time management to negotiate every single lease renewal. Things come up and Maryann and Andrew must decide when the limits of their system have been reached and it's time to hire another person. Another weakness in departmental businesses is that sometimes owners and landlords can feel passed around from one person to another. They're talking to someone different about maintenance and accounting, for example. As the Business Development Manager, Maryann makes sure she is the point of contact for any struggles owners may encounter. There are lots of questions when they're being onboarded, but once the path is clear, things settle quickly. How Are Florida Property Management Companies Unique? The housing collapse in 2008. COVID eviction moratoriums. Massive hurricanes. Post-pandemic pricing surges. Major relocation of new residents into Florida. Major insurance crisis. Florida management companies have been through a lot. How does each business structure approach these elements that are unique to Florida property management? Andrew said that for Hoffman Realty, the 2008 crisis was one of the worst to manage. There had just been a huge boom and prices were high. Then, the market crashed and people who had no intention of being landlords found themselves renting out homes when they could not sell.That included a lot of private equity firms.Maryann remembers a meeting with a huge company that was planning to buy hundreds of properties in 2010. It was exciting at first; the idea that they would get so much business. But the geographic area covered seven counties. Hoffman Realty would have had to change their entire operation in order to accommodate that management contract. For Stacy and David, the COVID pandemic and hurricanes are particularly memorable.During the pandemic, people did not want to leave their homes but they needed to see properties. At that time, video walk-throughs were not common, but they quickly became necessary. They could not imagine doing without video tours, now. Property management companies in Florida have to adapt to manage these crises.In 2004, there were three different hurricanes that hit the Orlando region in a span of three weeks, including the very powerful Hurricane Charlie. That storm took out the power to the Wilson Management Group office for two and a half weeks. But they still had to operate. Trees were down everywhere and property managers could not use phones or email. This was long before the technology we have today. David was grateful that they had planned ahead and printed out what they needed and were able to physically check on their properties. Diving Deeper into Hurricanes: How Do Business Structures Respond? More recently, after Hurricanes Milton and Helene in 2024, Hoffman Realty had three pages of roof repairs that their properties needed. This is how the departmental process served them: One person was in charge of roofs. Another person was in charge of fence repairs. Another handled mold remediation. Separate people were assigned to insurance adjusters. Staff members were calling tenants to ask about any damage. It was a mess, Maryann said, but everything was departmentalized already. As a portfolio-based company, David and Stacy would have their property managers check in with tenants, first. In the first few days after a hurricane, roads were dangerous. There were no stop lights and trees were down across town. Before putting their property managers in any kind of situation where they had to go out and put eyes on a property, they'd ask their tenants for reports. Instead of conducting 30 inspections a month, their property managers were eventually conducting about 30 per day. What is the Relationship Between Team Structure and Company Size? Is there a size where one specific structure makes more sense than the other? It may not matter. Regardless of the business model a Management company has, there is some level of overlap into different sorts of business models no matter what. Some companies have a pod style, with senior and junior managers and they have coordinators in that pod. Andrew and Maryann have a departmental business which is similar. In the Wilson portfolio structure, property managers still have back-office support for accounting and leases. Overlap should be expected. Scaling any of those structures can be challenging. For portfolio companies, property managers are geographically aligned, so if there is a burst of new properties that come under management, how are they assigned when all of the existing property managers are at capacity? How Do Property Managers Know Which Structure is Right for Their Company? Maybe you're a smaller company at 50 to 100 doors, and you have to decide whether to form a portfolio or department company structure. What clues should you be looking for that might tell you which path is the best? Andrew says that if you're growing from a one-person show to a larger company, you'll realize you need help, and you should delegate the tasks you don't like to do. Maybe you like leasing and talking to landlords but you don't like coordinating maintenance. That maintenance supervisor should be your first hire. Stacy and David advise to be prepared for one thing: systems will break down as you grow. Whether you gravitate towards departmental or portfolio or something else, you'll have to pivot or adjust at some point. You might start off with one model and pivot to the other. Try to anticipate where the break might occur. If you can see it coming, you can prevent it. How Can AI and Technology be Used? Thanks to automation and AI, it's possible to do more with fewer people. With the help of technology, property management owners know that they can focus more on relationships. And remember that AI is able to do a lot of things, but it can't just be plugged into a property management business. Automating something that is broken will just allow mistakes to be made faster. We're saying it again: processes and procedures are essential. Deploying AI will not magically fix problems. Will Owners Care about Company Structure when Choosing a Property Management Partner? Hopefully, clients will ask deeper questions about how your business functions. How are applicants screened? How quickly does the staff handle maintenance? How and when will my residents get solutions to their problems? These are the things that help determine how efficient a property management business is. Company structure is rarely a part of the interview. Property managers trying to earn new business will want to clarify with the property owners and investors what the long-term financial goals are. That may play into how they decide what kind of company they hire. But that may not have to do with structure; it may have more to do with the perspective of the business and how they manage. What Are the Last Words from Hoffman Realty and Wilson Management Group? Here's what our guests want to leave you with: Loving what you do is a big part of success. Start off with strong systems and get those down before growing a property management company. Owning investment real estate is great. If you're starting off, keep moving forward.

Anna and Avery kick off with a decade-long game of cosmic hide-and-seek that has finally ended: Beta Pictoris d, the faintest exoplanet ever directly imaged from Earth, found lurking in more than ten years of archival images — and orbiting a star in the southern constellation Pictor. Then it's the completion of VLASS, the sharpest radio map of the whole sky ever made, arriving just as the Rubin Observatory's optical survey switches on. The James Webb Space Telescope has caught a supermassive black hole feeding itself in the Centaurus Cluster — the missing link in a decades-old mystery. A Pluto system double bill follows: the first landslides ever identified on Pluto, and evidence written in Charon's mountains that the big moon once spun more than ten times faster than it does today — both delivered by New Horizons data from 2015. Finally, SpaceX's latest FCC filing reveals Starlink satellites made over 355,000 collision-avoidance manoeuvres in the past year — nearly one dodge per satellite per week — and experts are warning about where the trend leads. Plus dark-sky Southern Hemisphere stargazing and a Starship Flight 13 launch reminder.

For skywatchers in the United States, a grouping in the western evening sky right now is a case of the haves and the have-mores. The group is visible across the entire country. But the view gets better as you move farther south. The group features the planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury, and the stars Pollux and Castor – the “twins” of Gemini. Venus is the brightest member, with the twins to its right, and Jupiter and Mercury to its lower right. All five members of the group are near the ecliptic – the Sun’s path across the sky. And the angle of the ecliptic varies by latitude. As seen from the equator, the ecliptic stands almost straight up from the horizon at sunset. The Sun drops straight down below the horizon, so the sky darkens quickly. At the same time, Venus and the others stand fairly high above the horizon. They’re still well up as twilight fades. As you go farther north, the ecliptic tilts toward the south. The farther north you are, the greater that angle. So when the Sun sets, it doesn’t drop straight down – it also slides across the horizon. As a result, the sky remains bright for much longer than it does at the equator. Venus and the others are lower in the sky at sunset, so they’re more likely to be blocked by trees or mountains. And they’re immersed in the twilight longer. That leaves less time to enjoy this beautiful group of planets and stars in the evening sky. Script by Damond Benningfield
North Carolina state lawmakers are in the midst of the 2026 legislative session and, as had been expected, several important proposals are advancing that could impact everything from alcohol sales to the state constitution. On the alcohol front, it appears that the recent ongoing trend to move the state away from longstanding blue laws continues as the demands of retailers and producers seem to slowly be overcoming the objections of religious conservatives and other alcohol opponents. And recently, as part of a wide-ranging two-part conversation with NC Newsline government and politics reporter Brandon Kingdollar, we dug into precisely what's under consideration and what the competing sides are saying. In Part One of our recent extended conversation NC Newsline government and politics reporter Brandon Kingdollar, we examined the ongoing debate at the General Assembly over our state's regulation of alcohol sales and how proposals to liberalize and privatize the process and move away from older, more restrictive regulatory schemes appear to be making headway. In Part Two of our chat, we turned our attention to a series of constitutional amendments that Republican leaders are moving to place on the fall ballot that deal with an array of subjects – some of them potentially hugely impactful and some more symbolic that appear to be designed mostly to help drive conservative voter turnout.

In Episode 363 of The Canine Paradigm, things get wild, technical, and a little heavenly. Glenn opens with an update on Ladybug after she nearly tried to punch her own ticket to the pearly gates again. We talk through what happened, what the recovery looks like, and why these moments hit so hard when you live life with dogs. Then we pivot back to the listeners. We asked what topics you want, and you delivered. One question took the episode into a completely different orbit. What happens when AI starts interacting as a dog trainer, and how far could that realistically go? We explore what AI can do well, where it will fail, and why real-world training still depends on timing, observation, and judgement that is hard to replicate through a screen. It is part life update, part community chat, and part future-facing debate. Expect laughs, a bit of emotion, and a surprisingly technical dive, all in the one show.

In this conversation, Peter discusses significant advancements in the Cardano ecosystem, focusing on the introduction of atomic swaps between Bitcoin and ADA through Fluid Tokens, and the upcoming Van Rossum hard fork. The atomic swaps eliminate the need for centralised exchanges and bridges, enhancing security and efficiency in cross-chain transactions. The Van Rossum hard fork introduces five key upgrades to the Plutus smart contract platform, improving performance, reducing costs, and preparing Cardano for future developments in zero-knowledge proofs. Overall, these innovations signify Cardano's maturation as a robust smart contract platform.TakeawaysYou can swap real BTC for real ADA directly.The Van Rossum hard fork introduces five key upgrades.Atomic swaps eliminate the need for centralised exchanges.The drop list upgrade makes DAP performance faster and cheaper.Arrays in Plutus will allow constant-time lookups.Zero-knowledge proofs are the future of blockchain.The upgrades are foundational for Cardano's smart contract capabilities.Multi-asset values will be handled more efficiently in Plutus.These changes are crucial for Cardano's long-term health.The ecosystem is building tools that matter for users.DISCLAIMER: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and is not financial, investment, or legal advice.

Solar panels are a popular source of renewable energy, but large groupings of them — called arrays — can take up a lot of space. Chelse Prather, an ecologist at the University of Dayton, wanted to know how wildlife are using the habitats underneath two arrays in Ohio. The first site was a fixed array with panels that are locked in place. The second was a tracking array where panels tilt to follow the sun. Chelse and her students found American Robin nests at both sites, but the tracking array nest looked… weird. In their study published in 2025, the team confirmed that these nests were unusually tall and mounted to the support beams at odd angles. It's a new example of how birds are adapting to a changing world. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Simon's live update for James O'Brien's programme on the UK's LBC.
As every brand rushes to adopt generative AI, what if the greatest competitive advantage is no longer about speed and scale, but about sounding uniquely, verifiably human?Agility requires moving beyond the hype of new technology to strategically apply it for true differentiation. It's about being smart and selective, not just fast.Today, we're going to talk about a paradox at the heart of modern marketing. Generative AI has promised unprecedented scale and personalization, but for many, it's delivering a sea of sameness where brand voice gets lost. We'll explore how to break free from this generic output, moving from a reactive "test and learn" model to a predictive one, and discuss the critical balance of combining AI's power with essential human expertise to maintain brand soul, safety, and performance across countless channels.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Toby Coulthard, Chief Product & Growth Officer at Jacquard.About Toby Coulthard Toby Coulthard is Chief Product & Growth Officer at Jacquard.

We'll explore how to break free from this generic output, moving from a reactive "test and learn" model to a predictive one, and discuss the critical balance of combining AI's power with essential human expertise to maintain brand soul, safety, and performance across countless channels. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Toby Coulthard, Chief Product & Growth Officer at Jacquard. About Toby Coulthard Toby Coulthard is Chief Product & Growth Officer at Jacquard.
