On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, as Georgia leads most states in development and operation of data centers, a report from Greenlink Analytics and Science for Georgia is skeptical of their expected growth beyond 2030. It claims the industry is planning massive infrastructure expansions that has “about a 0.2% chance of actually materializing.” We discuss the potential future of data centers in Georgia, and what it means for resource consumption in the state with Etan Gumerman, Director of Analytics at Greenlink Analytics, and Amy Sharma, Executive Director of Science for Georgia. Then, former chief classical music critic for The New York Times Anthony Tommasini believes the cultural impact of Marian Anderson has been lost over the generations. In Tommasini’s new book, “Voice of a Century: The Life and Artistry of Marian Anderson,” he shines a light on the operatic talent and the civil rights fight of the singer. It shares how Anderson broke racial barriers in opera, while holding the same crowds and stages as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial where she performed for 75,000 people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The phones we carry in our pockets give us the ability to snap a picture any time we want. But a nearly 200-year-old form of photography is still around today — and still finding new fans.Milwaukee's own Amber Ascher has made a business out of her interest in the Victorian-era artform, which is making a return in this fast-paced digital age.  “I think with the rise of A.I., digital-perfected images, people want this even more because it's so obviously handmade,” she said. “Sometimes, you literally see the fingerprint of the photographer on the plate from them handling it, and it's just special for that reason.”In this episode, we go along on a tintype shoot to learn how it's done and why people continue to choose an antique form of photography in an age of advanced technology.#####Guest host: Rachel TarbyUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the support of our Radio Milwaukee members.

The industry is missing artistry. It's missing originality. And your artistry — the way you see the world, the way you approach helping people, the values you hold, the lived experiences you've embodied — is your unique edge. It's what puts you in an industry of your own.In this episode I'm talking about the third door (the way nobody else tries), why being unique isn't something you have to try to do (you just have to stop diluting yourself), and the cost of playing down your message, personality, and belief systems to try to fit into a niche or framework. This is about playing in your full range and making art instead of content.Key Takeaways:Your artistry is your unique edge — it's what puts you in an industry of your ownThe third door concept: there's always a way nobody else tries (and that's your artistry)Why we've been sold frameworks and strategies created by men for men (and why they don't work for dynamic, multi-dimensional women)The cost of diluting your artistry: sounding like a regurgitation of something your ideal client has already triedBeing unique isn't something you have to try to do — you just have to be all of youThe client who thought she didn't have the "credentials" to brag on (and why that's exactly her gift)What would change if you had nothing to hide and could talk about everything that feels alive to you?The difference between making art vs. making content, invitations vs. asking for the saleScaling to multiple 6-figures?

The first large number of Chinese immigrants began arriving in the United States in the 1840s, and Chinese opera troupes were not far behind. In Inside Chinese Theater: Community and Artistry in Nineteenth Century California and Beyond (U Illinois Press, 2025), Nancy Yunhwa Rao writes the story of the flourishing and resiliency of Chinese opera in America. Chinese opera troupes brought with them an important cultural reminder of China that helped immigrants to build community and maintain connections with their old home in their new one. At the same time, anti-Chinese violence, legislation, and prejudice was a constant and growing threat to Chinese immigrants and Chinese theater. As Chinese theater became part of California and San Francisco culture, popular Chinese actors advocated for their art alongside appeals for civil rights. Rao draws on personal accounts and artifacts to place theater within the everyday lives of Chinese people. She also describes the costumes, singing, staging, and storytelling that impacted mainstream reception and influenced how Chinese communities saw themselves. Rao makes a convincing argument that more attention to the transpacific connections between the US and Asia is vital to telling the true story of America. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Thomas Sammons – Bringing Technology, Compassion and a Preventive Approach to Dentistry Dr. Thomas “Tom” Sammons of Dental Artistry joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his path into dentistry, his commitment to continuing education and advanced technology, and his philosophy that good dental care is about far more than simply fixing teeth. A Youngsville native and UL Lafayette graduate, Dr. Sammons grew up in Acadiana after his family moved here in 1995. His father, Tom Sammons, taught architecture at UL Lafayette, and education was strongly emphasized in the Sammons household. Dr. Sammons graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from UL Lafayette before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans. His connection to UL Lafayette runs deep. As a student, Dr. Sammons was active in the pre-professional society, student government and honor society, and participated in Up 'til Dawn, which supported St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He says UL is where he truly found his community in Lafayette. Today, that sense of community remains important. Dr. Sammons and his wife, Abby, both grew up here and even attended the same church, where Abby's father once taught him in Sunday school. Their parents live nearby, and Dr. Sammons and Abby are raising two energetic young sons, Gabriel and Everett. “I love being with them. I love being with my family.” A Childhood Spent in the Dental Chair Led to a Career Dr. Sammon’s decision to become a dentist was shaped in part by his own difficult dental history. His permanent teeth erupted with enamel hypoplasia, leaving them soft and yellow and requiring extensive dental work. He also admits he did not take particularly good care of his teeth as a teenager. Fortunately, he had dentists he genuinely liked, Drs. Thomas and Harmon in Youngsville. “I actually loved my dentist. I didn't like being in the dental chair, but I liked him,” Tom recalled. For years, Tom thought he would become an engineer. Then he attended orientation at UL Lafayette, toured the engineering program and abruptly announced to his parents that he was going to become a dentist. The more he learned about dentistry, the more certain he became that he had found the right profession. That personal history also helps explain the empathy Dr. Sammons brings to patients who fear dental treatment. He discovered early in his career that many people had experienced frightening or painful dental care as children. For some patients, he says, simply opening the front door of a dental office can feel like “a very heavy weight.” When Dr. Sammons joined the practice of longtime Lafayette dentist Dr. Ann Laurent, he found a mentor whose philosophy closely matched his own. Dr. Laurent had built a practice around caring for patients with dental anxiety and treating their fears with empathy. “It's not the most fun place to be. I understand that,” Dr. Sammons said of the dental chair. “It doesn't have to be the worst place to be. We can make it comfortable. We can make it fun.” That philosophy is reflected throughout Lafayette Dental Artistry. Patients who need additional help with anxiety can receive nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, at no additional charge. The practice also offers oral sedation and, when appropriate, IV sedation administered with a nurse anesthetist. Your Mouth Is Connected to the Rest of Your Body One of Dr. Sammon's strongest messages is that oral health should never be viewed in isolation. “The mouth is also connected to the whole body. It is systemic health. It is not just oral health.” Dr. Sammons and his team spend considerable time educating patients about brushing, flossing, diet and the habits that contribute to dental disease. Chronic infection and inflammation in the mouth can have consequences beyond the teeth and gums, and periodontal disease can progress without causing significant pain. One of the biggest misconceptions Dr. Sammons sees today involves sugar-free beverages. Eliminating sugar does not necessarily make a drink tooth-friendly because acidity can damage enamel. “Acid is worse,” he explained. Energy drinks, soft drinks, coffee and other acidic beverages can create an environment that promotes enamel erosion and decay. Dr. Sammons explained that when bacteria consume sugar, they produce acid, but drinking an already acidic beverage exposes teeth directly to that damaging environment. He sees the consequences particularly among younger patients. Someone can leave high school with few or no cavities, head to college, develop a habit of consuming energy drinks throughout the day, and return with significant decay. The problem is compounded when a person sips the beverage over several hours. After each exposure, saliva needs time to buffer the acidic environment. Dr. Sammons’ advice includes limiting acidic drinks, drinking water and, for some patients, using an alkaline mouth rinse. He also discussed products containing xylitol as another tool for fighting cavity-causing bacteria. Lafayette Dental Artistry provides comprehensive care ranging from preventive dentistry to full-mouth rehabilitation, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, veneers, bonding, implants, bridges and clear aligner therapy. Dr. Sammons particularly enjoys cosmetic dentistry and clear aligners. In some complex cases, moving the teeth into a better position before restorative work can dramatically reduce the number of crowns or veneers a patient needs. “The less I do is more in a lot of ways. The best dentistry is no dentistry. The second best dentistry is preventative dentistry.” His goal is to perform dentistry today that prevents larger problems tomorrow. That philosophy becomes especially meaningful when patients arrive after years of avoiding dental care because of fear, embarrassment, finances or difficult life circumstances. Dr. Sammons has watched patients regain not only their oral health but their confidence. After restoring a person's smile, he may see them six months later having made other changes: exercising, losing weight, quitting smoking or simply taking better care of themselves. “It changes their whole life. It changes their whole trajectory.” Dentistry's Role in Sleep Health Dentists are playing a growing role in recognizing potential sleep disorders. Because dentists routinely examine the mouth, jaw and airway, they may see signs that suggest a patient should be evaluated for sleep apnea. Lafayette Dental Artistry has equipment patients can take home for a sleep study, although Dr. Sammons emphasized that a medical doctor reads the study and makes the diagnosis. For appropriate patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, a dental appliance may help keep the airway open by positioning the jaw forward. More severe cases generally require CPAP therapy. Implantable airway-stimulation devices are an option for some patients who cannot tolerate either CPAP or a dental appliance; those devices are placed by specialists. Dr. Sammons also uses Botox primarily as a therapeutic treatment for patients suffering from TMD, often called TMJ, including people who clench their jaws and develop muscle pain and headaches. While he occasionally uses Botox cosmetically, his primary interest is relieving pain and muscle tension. More Than 100 Hours a Year of Continuing Education Louisiana dentists are required to complete 40 hours of continuing education every two years. Dr. Sammons regularly pursues more than 100 hours annually. Why? “I'm just a huge nerd. I love it. I love to learn.” That appetite for learning has helped him incorporate rapidly changing technology into his practice, including digital scanning, same-day crowns, 3D printing and digitally created surgical guides for implant procedures. Approximately 99 % of the impressions in his practice are now digital. A tooth can be scanned, the crown designed virtually, milled in the office and placed in the patient's mouth the same day. For anxious patients, avoiding a temporary crown, a second appointment and another injection can make an enormous difference. Artificial intelligence is also becoming part of the practice. Dr. Sammons uses AI with digital X-rays to help identify possible cavities, bone loss and calculus. He views it as an additional set of eyes rather than a replacement for professional judgment. The technology is also a powerful educational tool. Instead of asking patients to decipher shades of gray on an X-ray, the software can highlight areas of concern, making it easier for patients to understand what the team members of Dental Artistry are seeing. “It's kind of like a second set of eyes,” he explained, noting that the technology can occasionally flag a tiny area that deserves a closer look. Lafayette Dental Artistry Is Growing Lafayette Dental Artistry is preparing for a major renovation and expansion of its longtime office. Dr. Sammons discussed the reality that modern digital dentistry requires different spaces for equipment, laboratories and treatment areas than were needed when the original office was built. During construction, the practice will temporarily relocate about five minutes away while the existing office is rebuilt. The temporary move is expected to last approximately nine months. The goal is to create a more modern environment while preserving what patients already value about the practice: comfort, relaxation and personal attention. And Dr. Ann Laurent remains very much a part of the practice. “She's been an amazing mentor to me, both as a clinician and also just as a leader.” Dr. Laurent continues to see patients while enjoying a little more time to travel. Dentist, Business Owner, Husband and Dad Running a dental practice also means running a small business, something Dr. Sammons jokes can be difficult “when you got your fingers in people's mouths.” He generally treats patients Monday through Thursday and reserves Fridays for administrative work, meetings and catching up on the business side of the practice. He made a commitment to himself to leave the office on time whenever possible so he can be home with Abby and their boys. His days start early, often around 3:30 a.m., with quiet time followed by a workout or swimming. When he does find spare time, Dr. Sammons loves to read, alternating between science fiction or fantasy and books on business, professional development and self-improvement. He enjoys movies, working out and swimming, but these days much of his free time is devoted to his sons. That means building blocks, jumping on the trampoline and, much to his delight, a recent family discovery of Legos. “I love doing Legos.” Perhaps the most revealing part of our conversation was hearing Dr. Sammons describe what makes dentistry rewarding. Sometimes it is as immediate as helping someone who walks into the office after spending a sleepless night with an excruciating toothache. Other times, it is watching someone who has neglected their oral health regain a healthy smile and the confidence that comes with it. “I don't know of many professions…that can do all that. It's so much fun and rewarding to do that. And I really can't imagine doing anything else.” We thank Dr. Thomas Sammons and the entire team at Lafayette Dental Artistry for their support of Discover Lafayette and for their commitment to helping Acadiana residents achieve better oral health while making the dental experience as comfortable and positive as possible.

Ask someone to picture a ballet dancer, and posture is probably the first thing that comes to mind — that effortless, upright poise that reads as ballerina the second you see it. But if you've ever felt like you struggle to achieve it as an adult dancer, you're not alone!In this episode, I'm joined again by Chelsea Weidmann for the next installment in our ongoing series on the elements of artistry, as she defined & unpacked them in her thesis on artistry in ballet. This time we're digging into the fundamentals of ballet posture: what it actually is, how to work on it, and what it allows us to accomplish technically that we couldn't otherwise.We also talk about the difference between posture that's technically correct but reads as flat, and posture that reads as intentional and alive. And for anyone who performs, Chelsea breaks down how a character's posture can shift over the course of a ballet (hello, Giselle) and how you can use those shifts to support your own artistry both onstage and in the studio. If you've ever wanted your posture to look more confident and effortless, or wondered how to use it to support your artistry, this episode is for you! ✨CONNECT WITH CHELSEA

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait.

With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. This week, Elvis and Barb are coming to you from the FDLA Symposium at the GPS Digital RPD booth with two conversations that prove one thing: dental technology never stops evolving. First up, Chris Bradley from SmileLine USA returns to the podcast alongside technician, educator, and lab owner Richard Wodzinski, with Dawn Roniger from GC America joining the discussion. What starts as a conversation about "sexy brushes" quickly turns into a deep dive into one of the most intriguing shade-matching workflows you'll hear about. Richard explains how the OptiShade camera and Matisse software work together to create incredibly accurate shade recipes for everything from monolithic zirconia to layered ceramics and even gingiva. They also discuss the latest Creation Magic Color system, hands-on education, custom shade appointments, and why reducing remakes isn't just good for labs—it's better for doctors and patients too. Add in some FDLA leadership talk and a shared passion for education, and you've got a conversation packed with practical ideas and plenty of laughs. Then Elvis and Barb sit down with Kaveh Shams, Branch Manager for Zirkonzahn Canada, whose journey into digital dentistry spans London, Italy, and Canada. Kaveh shares how his admiration for Enrico Steger and Zirkonzahn eventually led to his dream job, while also offering a fascinating look into the company's history, philosophy, and commitment to education. From the origins of Exocad and custom CAM strategies to modular milling systems, open architecture, and Zirkonzahn's incredible Military School program that trains the next generation of technicians, this conversation is full of insight into what makes one of dentistry's most respected digital companies tick. It's an inspiring story of passion, persistence, and why great technology always starts with great technicians.Special Guests: Chris Bradley, Dawn Roniger ​​​​, Kaveh Shams, and Rich Wodzinski.

What if your conference wasn't designed around sessions, speakers, and logistics, but around how you wanted attendees to feel? How can your association bring more artistry, intention, and humanity into everything it does?In part two of this two-part special on Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Nir Hindi, Founder of The Artian. Nir discusses:What business artistry is, and why leaders should think of business as a platform for creative expression and human value, not simply optimization.Why association conferences should begin by asking, "What should this feel like?" rather than focusing first on speakers, logistics, or attendance goals.How associations can intentionally design conferences for the individual attendee, especially first-time attendees who arrive alone and often feel intimidated.Why post-pandemic conferences must prioritize human connection and community, since educational content is increasingly available online.How artists teach leaders to pay attention to invisible details that create meaningful experiences, even when attendees can't articulate why something feels exceptional.The Pixar meeting room story, and how changing physical environments can dramatically improve participation, collaboration, and idea generation.How storytelling should focus on members' problems, journeys, and transformations rather than organizational history, milestones, or statistics.Why associations should measure success not simply by attendance or satisfaction scores, but by whether their events genuinely transformed members' professional lives.References:TheArtian websiteNir's Business Artistry CourseFollow Nir on LinkedInNir's Website

Most people assume that if a goal is hard to achieve, getting there has to feel hard too. We tend to believe that extraordinary results require extraordinary suffering.But my guest says the secret to success isn't gritting your teeth; it's making the path enjoyable. His name is Jia Jiang, and in his new book, Easy Discipline, he argues that consistency comes from designing your work and your life so that doing the right thing becomes something you actually want to do. Today on the show, Jia explains the difference between hard and easy discipline, why "eating bitterness" isn't the best way to go after your ambitions, and how to make your work feel more like play without lowering your standards. Along the way, we discuss Soviet hockey, Japanese tea ceremonies, rejection therapy, one-action goals, and the power of pursuing aims that are an expression of who you are.Resources Related to the PodcastJia's previous book: Rejection TherapyJia's 100 Days of Rejection Therapy videos, including asking for a "burger refill"AoM Article: Motivation Over DisciplineAoM Podcast #954: The Feel-Good Method of ProductivityConnect With Jia JiangJia on SubstackJia's websiteJia on LinkedIn0:00 Introduction to the AOM Podcast0:41 Introducing Jia Jiang and Easy Discipline1:36 Welcome Jia Jiang / The Myth of Sisyphus6:05 Hard Discipline vs. Easy Discipline9:36 Eating Bitterness10:44 Soviet Hockey: Tarasov vs. Tikhonov16:02 The EASY Framework: Enjoyment31:02 Artistry and Ichi-go Ichi-e33:54 Systems and One Action Goals41:22 Repetition with Variation44:18 Why: Being True to Yourself52:33 Where to Find Jia Jiang's WorkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we explore the creative paradox that sometimes the best work begins when we stop trying to produce our "best work." We revisit the story of Richard Feynman, who rediscovered his passion for physics by indulging in what seemed like trivial curiosity—with world-changing consequences.We're joined first by Ian Bogost, author of The Small Stuff, professor, writer, and game designer, who unpacks the idea of “gratification”—the sensory enchantment of everyday life—and why chasing only the "big stuff" means missing the moments that actually comprise our experience . We examine the relentless march toward efficiency and abstraction, the threat of dematerialization, and practical strategies for reclaiming a more embodied, present approach to work and life.After the break, Jia Jiang, author of Easy Discipline, explains why enduring endless grind isn't the recipe for lasting success—or personal satisfaction. Drawing on his own journey from ambition-driven burnout to a more sustainable, enjoyable approach, Jia Jiang reveals his E.A.S.Y. framework (Enjoyment, Artistry, Systems, Yourself) for building discipline that doesn't feel like drudgery.We unpack why presence—not just productivity—fuels creative brilliance, how seeking “orthogonal” experiences can reawaken genuine engagement, and why you'll go further by learning to love the process rather than trying to force yourself through it.Five Key LearningsGratification Overrides Big Goals: The richest experiences come from moment-to-moment sensory engagement, not from deferred, infrequent milestones (Ian Bogost at 04:42).Dematerialization Is Draining: Our digital conveniences come at a cost: They strip away physicality, leading to a disconnect from what's most enjoyable in the work itself (Ian Bogost at 08:39).Presence Is the Antidote: Simply allowing ourselves to fully experience sensory details—rather than obsessively planning or optimizing—can restore lost gratification (Ian Bogost at 11:02).Enjoyment Enables Sustained Effort: Lasting discipline isn't about brute force; it's about making the journey itself rewarding so that you can do hard things for longer (Jia Jiang at 25:42).Everyone's Discipline Is Individual: Advice from others is often based on their optimization, not yours; embracing your own strengths, rhythms, and sources of enjoyment is critical to building sustainable creative practices (Jia Jiang at 36:16).Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Packed with inspiration, laughs, and crafty wisdom, this episode is a reminder that your creative journey doesn't have to be perfect it just has to stick.=====Hosted By: Dr. Lisa WoolforkSenior Producer: Krystal HillProducer: Mike Bryant=====Where You Can Find More Deborah!============Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.
