In this episode, Derek interviews Zero 2 Infinity Fouder & CEO José Mariano López Urdiales on a unique take on the space trousim industry. Instead of rockets, Zero 2 Infinity is using balloon technology to (hopefully soon) fly humans into space on a more comfortable, leisurely alternative to the rocket. Zero 2 Infinity also has a satellite delivery business that José explains and lays out the investment opportunities. Sam Marks jumps on the intro and outro to tell us where he's been traveling all through Asia, and tell why he is excited for this space technology... but won't be a passenger himself. About José & Zero 2 Infinity: Jose Mariano López is the founder and CEO of Zero 2 Infinity, the most active player in Europe in Near Space flights with over 50 successful missions. Jose Mariano is an engineer and a pioneer in NewSpace, whose vision is to make access to Space affordable and sustainable. His seminal work has sparked a renaissance of high-altitude ballooning with applications ranging from telecommunications to Space Tourism. He is a graduate of MIT in Aeronautics and Astronautics and holds 2 patents.

Elsa Tamez wrote that “The situation of oppression and pain tends to make people feel depressed, to dehumanize them, to destroy not only their bodies but also their spirit, to make them see their oppression as normal and natural.” These words will be recognizable to anyone who belongs to a marginalized community. Unmasking the lie that change is not only impossible, it is unnatural, we are called to respond with a praxis grounded in our values. We connect patience with resistance and integrity with solidarity, so that we can more intentionally participate in the personal and collective healing and growing we need.

Tabitha Miller left her career in Instrumentation to follow her passion for spreading joy to those in her community through face painting and balloon decor! In the beginning, she performed at restaurants and events, showcasing her art in the medium of face painting. With the emergence of Covid, her face painting took an abrupt halt; however, the pandemic did bring a silver lining. Many people at the time celebrated birthdays and anniversaries with roadside celebrations accompanied by big, beautiful balloons! From there, her love for the art of balloon decor took off, even leading her to compete on Team USA at the World Balloon Convention in Atlanta, GA. Since then, she has been creating extravagant, over-the-top balloon decor that demands to be the center of attention with its bright colors and unique configurations. In this episode, Tabitha talks about the decision to leave her career in STEM for one in the Arts, the lesser-known Rubber Tree, and her wildest design which includes a 12-foot moose. Thank y'all again for another great week! Please continue to share us with your friends, family, and colleagues so we can continue showcasing the amazing entrepreneurs that make up Baton Rouge.

Jeff has been on the show before, but previously representing his umbrella company, Asset Lab. And some of us remember Balloon Suite from years past... well Jeff and his team have taken it under their wing, and I am so delighted to have him as a huge supporter of the show and our balloon community.   In this episode we talk about how his team can help balloon business owners move past doing business via only referral networks or social media profiles, and establish their business with a website and marketing that brings brand new leads in.   When you listen in you'll hear the wealth of experience Jeff and his team have working in our industry. Not just with websites, but SEO, ads and more. And although my tendency is to be more frugal and DIY as much as I can, I've noticed more and more over time that working with contractors like Jeff who already know the industry can make things happen so much faster.   We also talk about Grab and Go Garlands and how his team is able to incorporate scheduling platforms like 17hats within their Balloon Suite website templates. But if you aren't currently using a CRM, their e-commerce plan can make it happen, too!   Finally, Jeff gives us some great tips for our home pages, which kind of blew my mind! since social media has trained us to endlessly scroll, our home pages can be set up the same way address your target markets, in order of priority, as you make your way down the page have a call to action for those who make it all the way down to your website footer don't be afraid to narrow in on exactly the type of customer you want to work with   If you're ready to get serious with your marketing strategy, get in touch with Balloon Suite to see how they can help!

In this episode, host Dr. Sabeen Dhand speaks with neurosurgeons Drs. David Altschul and Omar Tanweer about updates on cerebral aneurysms, including device innovation, risk stratification, and the importance of the doctor-patient relationship in decision-making. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR MicroVention FRED X https://www.microvention.com/emea/product/fred-x --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Omar Tanweer is the director of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery at Baylor College of Medicine. He works in a multidisciplinary group of neurologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons. He trained at NYU and has been at Baylor for 2 years, where he does 100% neurovascular work. Dr. David Altschul is also from New York and is the division chief of neurovascular surgery at Montefiore. He completed an endovascular fellowship in Manhattan and has now been back at Monteriore since 2014. Both physicians have an 80 to 20 endovascular to open case ratio. In the case of ruptured cerebral aneurysms, Dr. Altschul describes a rule of threes. Around one third of patients pass away before reaching a hospital, another third arrive with significant neurologic deficits, the final third simply endure a headache. The severity of symptoms on presentation is generally predictive of outcome. They use the Hunt and Hess score, as well as the Modified Fisher Scale in their workup. They will generally only put in a ventriculostomy if a patient is lethargic and has a Hunt and Hess grade of at least 3. Both physicians use viz.ai to review their aneurysm cases at their home institutions, as well as at all local referring hospitals, as they are all connected via the viz platform. For unruptured aneurysms, they implement the PHASES score and rely on patient preference. Some patients are comfortable monitoring the growth of very small aneurysms, while others prefer the risk of treating it over the risk of monitoring due to the fear of having a known aneurysm. The two agree that developing a good doctor-patient relationship is important in these cases, because getting to know your patient can help you decide which of these small aneurysms to treat. Finally, we discuss new technology in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Coils have improved by becoming smaller, containing biologic agents, and coming in different shapes. Dr. Tanweer discusses the difference between balloon and stent assisted techniques. Balloon assisted is great for wide neck aneurysms or patients who can't be on dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) and are better in the case of re-rupture. Stent assisted, when tolerated, increases efficacy and reduces recurrence by keeping coils in place, as well as providing a scaffold for endothelial cells to heal across. The Flow Diverter, a vessel preservation device, is less porous and good for internal carotid and anterior circulation aneurysms. The downside is that it requires DAPT. There is also the Web device, an intrasaccular device that diverts flow across the metal in the aneurysm and at the base of the neck, but does not leave any metal in the normal part of the artery. These are mainly used for wide neck bifurcation aneurysms at the internal carotid, basilar, anterior communicating, and middle cerebral artery bifurcations. --- RESOURCES Twitter: @DavidAltschulMD @omar_tanweer Viz.aneurysm: https://www.viz.ai/aneurysm

Motivated by the Chinese balloon story that recently if briefly dominated the news, Kelsey Atherton (@AthertonKD) joins me to talk about PROJECT GENETRIX (1956), a Pentagon scheme to float almost 600 balloons over remote parts of the USSR and China. Turns out balloons are not well-suited to espionage duty for reasons that should be obvious to anyone over the age of ten.  We also talk plenty about the recent balloon incident, the link between GENETRIX and the phenomenon of UFO sightings, and about how a crashed GENETRIX balloon is indirectly responsible for mankind's first photos of the dark side of the moon.

What are some of the key takeaways when you marry global financial markets with potentially extraterrestrial influences? Global Macro investor David Dorr, has taken on that conversation. As government and national security services have begun to declassify information around UFOs, David is exploring the edge of what people are starting to talk about but financial markets haven't yet embraced. Energy, defense, travel, technology, are points of influence in this conversation. Then there's what Lockheed Martin may be sitting on that could be a real game changer. David has been following this line of research for quite awhile and feels that things are just now starting to break loose. David Dorr is the Managing Principal at Dorr Asset Management SEZC and has more than 25 years experience in trading, global macroeconomics, risk management and trading technology.----------EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCE: Find Out How to Build a Safer & Better Performing Portfolio using this FREE NEW Portfolio Builder Tool----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “The Many Flavors of Trend Following” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Follow David on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 03:36 - Introduction to David 05:43 - A touchy subject 12:48 - The Tic Tac incident 19:37 - The Navy ships incident 24:17 - What is Area 51? 27:03 - What happened in Mosul, Iraq? 28:29 - The New York Times article 30:41 - Who is Bob Lazar and why is he important? 34:40 - Connections in the UFO network 38:40 - Alfred O'Donnell & EE&G 41:50 - Are they saving us from ourselves? 43:20 - From rockstar to UFO...

Everything from the guilt to the sadness to the disbelief takes its toll & leaves us different than we were before.But here's the thing, I think it's SO important to remember that our loved one were SO MUCH MORE than their addictions.They were people who loved, who laughed, who brought all sorts of LIFE to our own lives & that is something we cannot forget.While I know this episode may be hard for some of you to hear, I hope you know that you are not alone in your pain & in your grief.Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need additional help finding professional resources to help you & your loved ones.Here are some resources for you:-Therapy option: https://www.betterhelp.com/- Recovery Support: https://www.cdc.gov/stopoverdose/stigma/index.html?s_cid=DOP_Stigma_Search_Paid_001&gclid=CjwKCAiAu5agBhBzEiwAdiR5tE6IeI2aNfAmvyFkyX9h9rc186MEf2kEwfFPgZeXWZqS7lg1Bdpt7hoCe8kQAvD_BwE

On this Salcedo Storm Podcast:Texas Governor, Greg Abbott.

On February 4, 2023, an F-22 fighter jet committed the first air to air kill in the weapons history. It was an alleged Chinese spy balloon near Myrtle Beach. In the days that followed the F-22 would score another kill, this time against a mysterious floating object above the Yukon.But this second object hadn't come from China. Hobbyists, in fact, think it might be one of their balloons. Across the world there is a small but dedicated group of people who love launching tiny balloons into the sky.It's been a weird month for the community. What with the fighter jets patrolling the sky and constant reports of UFOs. On this week's Cyber, Motherboard reporter Becky Ferreria stops by to talk about the amateur balloonists who lived through the great balloon panic of 2023.Stories discussed in this episode:'Unfortunate and Amusing': Balloon Enthusiasts Undeterred by U.S. Air Force ShootdownsWe're recording CYBER live on Twitch and YouTube.

In Episode 226, we do something new: tell a novel in the podcast. It's way easier to talk about a prepping scenario in a podcast than to spend six months writing and editing a novel. Our scenario is the Chinese putting low-yield nuclear charges on balloons and detonating them to creat small-scale EMPs over red states. They then orchestrate blue states to fight the red states. The ending of the story is in the After Show, available exclusively to Patreons.

Acclaimed fiction writer Ann Beattie joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss her recent LitHub essay about Donald Barthelme's short story “The Balloon” and the Chinese spy balloon. She also talks about her recently published first collection of essays, More to Say: Essays and Appreciations, in which she writes about the work of authors, photographers, and artists she admires, including Elmore Leonard, Sally Mann, John Loengard, and her own husband, visual artist Lincoln Perry. Beattie explains why as a nonfiction writer, she prefers close looking and reading; considers defamiliarization in the hands of Barthelme and Alice Munro; analyzes former visual artist John Updike's depiction of the natural world; and reflects on developing increased comfort with writing about visual art. She also reads excerpts from both her LitHub piece and the essay collection.

Robby Seidel had the hand of God reach down and give him an experience of such profound magnitude, that it changed his life forever, and set him and his wife Correll on a path of purpose that fills their souls. Today, they share their incredible story. Robby and Correll Seidel lost their sixteen year old daughter, Kaitlin to sudden cardiac arrest on July 30, 2006 just three weeks after she had committed her life to Christ at a Young Life Camp in Colorado. In their grief and healing, they were invited back to the very camp on year later to retrace Kaitlin's footsteps. Little did they know that on this trip, God would miraculously deliver a purple balloon to bring Kaitlin's dad, Robby into relationship with Jesus at age 55, and change the trajectory of the lives of Robby and Correll Seidel forever.For more conversations like this one, visit www.astrongerfaith.org.A Stronger Faith is a crowdfunded, nonprofit organization committed to pointing people toward the truth of the presence of God.If you would like to give and be a part of the fuel for expanding this work please visit astrongerfaith.org/give or text “ASFM” to 53555.

In early February, 2023, the US shot down a Chinese balloon. The US says the balloon was gathering intelligence while the Chinese claimed it was a weather balloon. We look at the history of spy balloons and how they've evolved over time, as well as the dilemma these balloons put leaders in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From space aliens to foreign surveillance, we spoke to experts to find out what’s really going on with the balloon brouhaha.

For over 30 years Chris Rutkowski and his group UFOlogy research has been collecting, compiling, and analyzing data associated with Canadian UFO reports. They share their findings in the Canadian UFO Report.  Chris and his colleagues have recently published the 2022 Canadian UFO Report so I invited him for a discussion about the parts that jumped out at me.  Additionally, you may have heard that North America has seemingly overnight become a battlefield for the milatary and mysterious flying balloons... we get into that as well.  Episode Links: Read the Canadian UFO Report: https://uforum.blogspot.com/?fbclid=IwAR2SEJOjNqUyH96O-szZ0sNlyGGPsYPayh4nSTNaofg3G5G66oAHXmQf-b8 Series Links: UFOs Above Canada Series: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/ufos-above-canada UFOs Above Canada Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ufosabovecanada/ Report a Canadian UFO Sighting: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/report-a-canadian-ufo-sighting Credits: Musical Theme - Noir Tokyo by Monty Datta Provide feedback and comments on the episode: nighttimepodcast.com/contact Nighttime Links: Premium Feed: https://www.patreon.com/nighttimepodcast Website: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/nighttimepod Learn more about your ad choices.

A debate about the best Western movie ever made leads Phil and Jase to reminisce about their time on "Duck Dynasty" and their experience with “Hollywood.” Jase thinks he's got a solution to all the “spy balloon” drama, and Al is confronted at church by a former "Duck Dynasty" filming voyeur with something to say. The guys use the Bible to navigate how they should respond to insults and the issues the world faces in this day and age. Plus, Phil rejects all -isms except for two!  In this episode: 1 Peter 3, verses 8-9; Romans 6, verse 11; Isaiah 8, verses 11-14 https://policygenius.com/phil — Get your free life insurance quotes and see how much you could save!  https://netsuite.com/phil — Take advantage of this special financing offer and make the switch!  "The Blind" hits theaters in 2023.
