Mom of teen girl, We are talking about tips to create lasting relationships with your teenage daughter AND ways you can take care of you in the season of raising her full of JOY! Special Guest: Lilly Brodbeck "Living in Southern California as a wife and empty nester, I navigate the world of finance by day. But my true passion lies in people! As a ministry leader and the writer/author of the "Joy in Every Season" devotional, I love connecting with women over coffee to explore their purpose, passion, and potential in Christ. People are definitely my jam!" You can find Lilly and her journal and devotional on Instagram. Are you looking for a supportive mom community? The common thing I ask the moms I work with to be most valuable is having a community with other moms who get it. Who are in the weeds too. Moms who are also in the season of raising tween & teen girls. We need each other to vent, laugh, encourage and support on another. If that's you too, I have a free mom community I invite you to be a part of.

Jon came this week! THE TERM IS OVER. THE SHOW IS OVER AT ISABELLE'S GALLERY! So we're both in good spirits. I'm getting my bike out today! Oddly, no election talk. We saw a plane! Oh, one pic is the plane, the other is plastic making.
This one is not about animal behaviour.I mean really, are any of our episodes ever about anything?THE TERM IS OVER.The show at Isabelle's gallery is winding down.The snow is gone.Might get my bike out soon!
This week's title works on two levels. The stuff Isa is doing for an art project (which.sounds super cool) and the fact that the melting snow has a sculpture like effect, it's kind of cool.Speaking of cool, it's cool, but above freezing, so lots of melting.I'm still mad about the USA.I gave an exam on Monday.I have another on Friday.We voted.
Yup it's been a while.I was away at a conference two weeks ago, and last week I lost my voice.Of course many of you are saying ‘Oh Dave lost his voice, on hon, anyway…'The term is winding down.Jon came again, he's always super helpful.Isabelle's student presented their work.This city is full of micro climates.
It's early in the season, but Amy Linhart already has been harvesting from her crop of 13,000 daffodils to supply her main wholesale customer, an upscale regional grocery chain in the Seattle-Tacoma region. I visited Humming Harvest Farm in late March for a tour of the fields and new high tunnel, both of which allowed […] The post Episode 711: Flower farming as a second career with environmental educator Amy Brodbeck Linhart of Humming Harvest Farm appeared first on Slow Flowers Podcast with Debra Prinzing.
Shopping!Isabelle has been busy, of course.Tim Horton's, it's Canadian, sorta.It's Jon's birthday! Happy 24th Jonno!I did self checkout today, not a fan.Why is it winter again?
It's been a while.Isabelle was away, she's back.Hey, Jonno came along!Isa has a workshop tonight on grant writing.It's warming up, spring soon?Now whey, whey.
Yes yes, we didn't do last week. Lots of stuff has happened.We were to drive to Quebec last week, but the weather didn't cooperate.Isabelle will head over there next week.The break is over, so I'll be back teaching.There are Canadian flags everywhere!I'm not going to talk about him.
We skipped last week for a good reasonThe awesome Noëlla Guimond, Isabelle's Maman, died last week. She had a huge impact on our lives of course, but, she affected many others. Her work was always about lifting other people up. Remember that.Oh yeah, and the USA sucks. You can take your trade war and shove it.I'll see Maddie in a couple of months.Hey, maybe Isabelle will go to Germany!Oh yeah, it snows a lot again.
Oh the picture? It's the first thing that came up when I searched on ‘Not Very Structured and Weird'.Isabelle has some exhibitions coming up.Oh and a workshop!I'm used to my schedule.We went a little later today, so the episode is coming out a little later, stop complaining.Jon is doing great at the U.
In dieser Episode ist Prof. Dr. Felix Brodbeck zu Gast im Murakamy Podcast. Felix ist Lehrstuhlinhaber für Wirtschafts- und Organisationspsychologie an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Gemeinsam diskutieren Marco und Felix, was es bedeutet, als echtes Team zusammenzuarbeiten, statt nur nebeneinander her zuarbeiten – insbesondere aus organisationspsychologischer Perspektive. Sie erörtern, welche Rahmenbedingungen für erfolgreiche Teamarbeit notwendig sind und wie man eine „Vereinbarung“ mit den einzelnen Teammitgliedern entwickelt, die die Zusammenarbeit strukturiert und ein belastbares Fundament schafft. Die beiden diskutieren außerdem, ob und wie Positive Reinforcement (positive Verstärkung) im Unternehmenskontext funktionieren kann und wie man es konkret anwendet. Darüber hinaus beleuchten sie verschiedene evidenzbasierte Managementmethoden und deren praktische Anwendungsfelder.

A little later today.It's time to make the méli mélo.The streets are still pretty messy.It was a madhouse in the store today.The plumbing thing is basically done, so that's good.The bits and bites are now in the oven actually.

SO yeah, we got 80 cm of snow Thursday night.Needless to say, Friday was a snow day.Of course I didn't have to teach anyway.Jon and I took 2.5 hr to shovel the driveway.I went from BBQing stuff and hanging laundry outside to, well, this.I think our street got more snow than anyone, somehow.
Dan and Ellen talk with Scott Brodbeck, founder and CEO of Local News Now. Many of the news entrepreneurs on this podcast lead nonprofits. Local News Now is a for-profit. Scott owns and operates local news websites in three big Northern Virginia suburbs: Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax County. Dan has a Quick Take about a corporate newspaper owner that is making a big bet on growth at a major metropolitan newspaper. In Georgia, Cox Enterprises is making a $150 million bet that it can transform The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If Cox is successful, it might serve as a model for other corporate newspaper owners. Ellen has a Quick Take about a piece in the New Yorker by a writer named Nathan Heller. At first glance, it doesn't seem to relate to local news. In fact, the title is pretty wonky: The Republican Victory and the Ambience of Information. But Heller has some smart observations about how information travels in a viral age.
Nice day today.Indeed, I'd take my bike out if it weren't such a pain.We watched the Snake River Canyon jump, err, Mike Tyson fighting Logan Paul.It was fun, also Isabelle watched sports.It was brutal.The two middle fights were actually pretty good.Isabelle has lots of art projects on the go.
Hey we're back!We haven't been doing things as the Internet Archive was down and that's where we put the audio.Could one today, though it did warm up.Lots of useless trucks in the parking lot today.I didn't get one of my favourite cashiers.Work is repetitive currently.Isabelle has projects, as usual.I got my COVID and flu shots and had side effects.
Stell dir vor, wie sich deine Beziehungen verändern könnten, wenn du wirklich zuhörst – ohne Ablenkung, ohne Bewertung, einfach mit voller Präsenz. Biohacking bedeutet schließlich nicht nur, den eigenen Körper zu optimieren, sondern auch die Qualität unserer Kommunikation (denn Kommunikation ist Schwingung und damit auch biologisch). Heute widmen wir uns daher einem oft unterschätzten Aspekt der Kommunikation: der Kunst des Zuhörens. Viele von uns halten sich für gute Zuhörer, doch die Realität zeigt oft das Gegenteil – unsere Gedanken schweifen ab, wir warten darauf, selbst zu sprechen, oder werden von unseren eigenen Triggern abgelenkt. ► Was passiert, wenn wir beginnen, wirklich zuzuhören? Wir gewinnen nicht nur wertvolle Einsichten, sondern stärken auch die Verbindung zu unserem Gegenüber – sei es der Partner, ein Kollege, ein Freund oder Familienmitglied. Mein heutiger Gast ist professioneller Zuhörer (ja, diesen Beruf gibt es wirklich!). Stefan Brodbeck hat sich ursprünglich in der Welt des Möbeldesigns einen Namen gemacht und weltweit Anerkennung für seine Arbeiten erhalten. Doch trotz aller Erfolge fühlte er sich irgendwann innerlich leer. Eine Auszeit und ein „Zuhör-Seminar“ führten ihn auf einen völlig neuen Weg. Heute ist Stefan Gründer des gemeinnützigen Vereins „momo hört zu“ und setzt sich leidenschaftlich für bewertungsfreies Zuhören ein. Mit seiner Arbeit inspiriert er Menschen, durch bewusstes Zuhören ihre Beziehungen zu stärken und mehr Empathie und Verständnis in unsere oft laute, schnelle Welt zu bringen. Mehr über Stefan erfährst du hier: Stefan Brodbeck Website ► Was dich in dieser Episode erwartet: Die Kunst des Zuhörens: Wie du lernst, deine eigenen Gedanken zur Seite zu legen und deinem Gegenüber Raum gibst, sich auszudrücken. Praktische Zuhör-Techniken: Von Paardiaden bis hin zu alltagstauglichen Strategien, die deine Kommunikation sofort verbessern. Inspiration für persönliche Entwicklung: Erfahre, wie bewertungsfreies Zuhören nicht nur deine Beziehungen, sondern auch dich selbst transformieren kann. ► Kapitel 00:00 Die Kraft des Zuhörens 04:53 Stefans Reise zum Zuhören 12:39 Die Bedeutung des Zuhörens in Beziehungen 20:58 Herausforderungen des Zuhörens in der modernen Welt 26:58 Die Kunst des bewertungsfreien Zuhörens 34:01 Auswirkungen des Zuhörens auf den Sprecher 38:02 Techniken für besseres Zuhören 50:47 Zuhören in Beziehungen 57:27 Wertvolle Werkzeuge für effektive Kommunikation 01:01:14 Umgang mit emotionalen Belastungen 01:12:03 Die transformative Kraft des Zuhörens ► Weiterführende Links Stefan Brodbeck Website FlowFest Warteliste Flowgrade YouTube Kanal abonnieren Flowgrade Website Flowgrade Instagram FlowTribe Community Max Gotzler's Instagram Mail info@flowgrade.de
A day late.A day late because the recording screwed up yesterday, well part of it anyway.I don't even know if the part about crazy fur and sparkles is in the episode actually.Isabelle had her final night of her installation.Our buses here are like Uber aft 6 on weekends, so that was interesting.We seem to keep forgetting things.The wind today is insane.
OK, like when will summer end? It's going up to like 28 today.Jon came along, and got the movie you see in the past.Isabelle has a big day, she is presenting an installation today and next week for Ontario Culture Days. It's a long process, going from the early conceptual days to today. Isabelle takes you through it.I will come down tonight on my bike to help her out.Oh also, I picked up a few season s of the Twilight Zone.
Hey, Jon came today! (He didn't talk much, but he was there).I'm used to my schedule sort of.I got my favourite cashier.Grey and 18 today.Oh we went to the library too.There are murals all over town, here's one with this post!
Nice day today, though I think it is going to get hot.I finished my first full week. Getting used to the timetable is the hardest thing.Oh and lecturing for 4.5 hours on Wednesday does not help.We talked to Maddie!They don't speak Wasabi in Germany.Isabelle is hoping for some news soon.
Oooh it's cool today.Needed gas, sometimes even a hybrid needs gas.Hey, I've buried the lede, we got a new washer and dryer!We've gone through a lot of them.Jon is very helpful.Isabelle is planning her big exhibit coming up.
Nice day today.It is week 2 of our national nightmare, where we don't have a washing machine.An RV pulling a car was stuck on the road, as you can see in the picture.Oh my god, it's the last weekend of the summer!OK, not technically, but you know what I mean.Washing clothes by hand has given me Popeye arms.
Lot's of technical difficulties in the past two weeks, but we're back.Where are we back from? We are back from Kingston where we visited Ken and Jackie!It was great.We saw some cool old rare books.We went on a tour of the old Kingston Pen.Generally we hung out with our friends and it was glorious.Thanks Ken and Jackie!
James Earl Jones had nothing to do with this one.We lamented the news, and the lack of it.We used to read the paper every morning, and while it is now replaced with websites, it's not the same.Rainy day.About 14C out, no biking weather.Canada won the 4x100m men's relay, so that's great.
Very warm today, there won't be a bike ride.Indeed, I even mowed the lawn early today.I say ‘fair to middling' a lot.We went to Timmins!Timmins is interesting enough. People were very friendly.Our hybrid car continues to amaze.

Georg Brodbeck steckt Hunderte von Stunden in seinen Youtube-Kanal und die Flugvisualisierungsplattform Ogoy. Was bringt ihm das? +++ „Anleitung zum Absaufen“, oder „Anleitung zum Langsamfliegen“. Wenn Gleitschirmvideos solche Titel tragen, dann sollte klar sein, dass hier jemand mal etwas anderes zelebriert als das „Höher-Schneller-Weiter, mehr Kilometer, mehr XC-Punkte und ach was war das doch für ein genialer Flug“, das sonst so häufig in üblichen Fliegerfilmchen mitschwingt. Wahrscheinlich gerade auch deswegen hat der Youtube-Kanal Steppenwolf X des Schweizers Georg Brodbeck eine stetig wachsende Fan-Gemeinde. Denn die feinhumorige Selbstironie, mit der Georg in diesen Filmen unter anderem seine eigenen Flugfehler aufarbeitet, trifft in positivem Sinn einen Nerv. Da draußen gibt es sicher viele andere Pilotinnen und Piloten, die solche Erlebnisse gut nachempfinden können. Aber Fehler sind nun mal dafür da, dass man daraus etwas lernen kann. Und so spreche ich in dieser 134. Folge von Podz-Glidz mit Georg darüber, wie ihm seine Youtube-Filme helfen, mit den Fliegerfrustmomenten zurecht zu kommen und nach und nach ein besserer Pilot zu werden. Dabei spielt auch ein weiteres Großprojekt von Georg eine Rolle: Ogoy. Das ist eine Website, auf der man seine Flüge in 3D-Ansichten visualisieren, analysieren und gewissermaßen nachfliegen kann. Mehr als 1000 Arbeitsstunden hat Georg schon in die Programmierung von Ogoy gesteckt und damit eine sehr wertvolle Plattform für die Gleitschirmszene geschaffen. +++ An dieser Stelle möchte ich einmal allen danken, die meine Arbeit an Podz-Glidz und Lu-Glidz bereits finanziell unterstützen. Ohne eure Förderbeiträge hätte ich Podcast und Blog schon lange aufgeben müssen. Und wenn auch Du willst, dass es mit diesen Kanälen weitergeht, dann schau doch mal auf die Seite „Fördern“ im Gleitschirmblog Lu-Glidz: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/p/fordern.html +++ Musik dieser Folge: Reach to View von Georg Brodbeck https://soundcloud.com/steppenwolf-x/reach-to-view +++ Lu-Glidz Links: + Blog: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com + Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luglidz + Insta: https://www.instagram.com/luglidz/ + Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBVs05CHDynzdlJlU34 + Youtube: https://youtube.com/@Lu-Glidz + Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lu-glidz + Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZNvk83xxGHHtfgFjiAHyJ + Apple-Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/podz-glidz-der-lu-glidz-podcast/id1447518310?mt=2 + Linktree: https://linktr.ee/luglidz

On the 34th episode of Enterprise Software Innovators, host Evan Reiser (Abnormal Security) talks with Marty Brodbeck, CTO of Priceline. Priceline is an online travel agency that enables users to book hotels, flights, and rental cars across 400 airlines and 300,000 hotels in over 200 countries worldwide. Marty shares thoughts on organizational frameworks to implement AI effectively, underestimated use cases for generative AI, and how Priceline's new chatbot, Penny, uses the latest generative AI capabilities to transform the customer experience.Quick hits from Marty:On the future of AI in business: “I firmly believe that... a lot of the biggest innovations [in the enterprise] are going to be the application of machine learning and generative AI to scale out infrastructures.” On the iterative development of AI applications: “These large language models don't work right out of the box. There's a corpus of information that they get trained on that isn't necessarily accurate, so you have to complement the capabilities you're going to get from a large language model with your own data.”On AI for personalization and customer interaction : “Number one, it's the iterative nature in which we built our prompts for Penny and tested those to get it to a point where it was conversion positive... And two, being able to iterate on prompts to get them right so that Penny is responding in the appropriate way that's valuable for our consumers, those are the two big things that we learned."Recent Book Recommendation: Going Infinite by Michael Lewis--Like what you hear?

We had a big trip this week. Not to bury the lede, but there are now two Dr.s Brodbeck in the family. Our drive was eventful. On the way home we ate Chinese food in a gas station parking lot. We're very proud of Maddie. We're very proud of Jon too, he was great at home giving out candy and all of that. As usual Isabelle has art stuff coming up and I have teaching stuff.

In mokuhanga, nature plays a large part in the process. Using wood, water, natural paper, and even natural pigments can bring you closer to the natural world, closer to the root of all things. From that natural process, many mokuhanga artists will use nature as a subject in their work. By portraying the mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, these subjects manifest the world from a different perspective on paper. On this episode of the Unfinished Print, I speak with Michigan-based mokuhanga printmaker Mary Brodbeck. Her work delves deeply into the natural world and colours of Michigan. Mary speaks on her mokuhanga process, colours, and technique, learning by watching, her early experiences with Japan, and the nature of the creative process. We also discuss the exhibition In Kalamazoo, Michigan, Cross Currents: East/West, with her teacher Yoshisuke Funasaka.

Shin hanga was born in 1915 by Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) when he found Austrian artist Frtiz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned Capelari to design some prints for Watanabe's feldgling printing house . From there shin-hanga evolved into its own distinct “new” style of Japanese woodblock printing. It lasted as this distinct style until its innevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945).

European settlers settled in the early 17th century. Michigan, located in the Midwestern region of the United States, has a rich and varied history. The French ceded Michigan to the British in 1763 following the French and Indian War, and it became part of the United States after the American Revolution. Michigan became a state in 1837, and its early years were marked by rapid industrialization and growth. The state became a hub for lumber production, mining, and manufacturing, particularly in the automotive industry. In the early 20th century, entrepreneurs such as Henry Ford and Ransom Olds revolutionized the automotive industry, and Detroit became known as the "Motor City." The state also played a prominent role in the Civil Rights Movement, with figures such as Rosa Parks and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. making essential contributions. In recent decades, Michigan has faced economic challenges, particularly in the wake of the automotive industry's decline. However, the state remains a necessary research, manufacturing, and innovation center. It is home to major universities and research institutions such as the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. You can find more information about Michigan at Michigan.org.

Divine Descent and the Four World-Ages in the Mahābhārata reflects on the theology of time in this early Hindu text and poses the key question: why does the Krishna avatāra inaugurate the worst yuga? The Sanskrit Mahābhārata describes a massive war facilitated by God and the gods. That war took place between the third and the last ages of a 12,000-year cycle; within the cycle, moral behaviour and human lifespan always decrease in steps before being rebooted for the next cycle (initial lifespan 400 years). Divine Descent and the Four World-Ages in the Mahābhārata-Or, Why Does the Krsna Avatāra Inaugurate the Worst Yuga? (Cardiff UP, 2022) describes and discusses this cycle and tries to explain why God and the gods are said to have descended and acted at that particular point within it. The trigger was the complaint of the Earth, who was suffering on account of the human beings upon her. This book is available open access here. Raj Balkaran is a scholar of Sanskrit narrative texts.

"Urban forest" sounds like an oxymoron unless you're Beau Brodbeck. Beau teaches the finer points of the how, when, where, and why of trees in urban landscapes. I was introduced to him through a listener who had just been in one of his seminars and emailed me to say "You gotta have him on" and when I chatted with him I knew she was right. It's amazing how trees influence the value of commerical property, and how we repeatedly do the wrong things when trying to enhance property by planting trees. And how we often plant them in such a way that their failue is all but assured.
