Pool Pros text questions hereRudy does something different this week: he takes the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) out of the pool industry echo chamber and walks it through the lens of academics, civil engineers, groundwater chemists, and industrial water experts who don't care about plaster warranties, brand marketing, or trade show politics.If you've ever argued about “which LSI is right” in a Facebook group, this one is for you.Episode OverviewRudy kicks off with a news analogy: How the same event looks completely different on U.S. news versus international coverage. Same facts, different framing.He uses that setup to shift how we look at LSI:We already know the pool industry story about LSI: PHTA charts, app calculators, Orenda talks, trade folklore.But this episode asks: “What does the scientific community think about LSI when they're not talking to pool people at all?”Rudy dives into how universities and researchers actually use and define LSI in research on:GroundwaterDrinking water stabilityIndustrial cooling systemsDesalination plantsBoiler operationsCement leachingEnvironmental engineeringKey Concepts Covered1. LSI as the Outside World Sees ItAcademics consistently define LSI = pH − pHs, where pHs is the calculated saturation pH, not something you measure with a test kit.pHs is derived from:Calcium hardnessCarbonate alkalinityIonic strength (modeled via TDS / activity coefficients)TemperatureLSI is treated as a thermodynamic index:It shows which direction water wants to move with respect to calcium carbonate.It does not tell you how fast scale forms, how thick it gets, or how quickly surfaces dissolve.2. What Negative, Zero, and Positive LSI Actually Mean (Academically)Negative LSIWater is under-saturated in calcium carbonate.It is capable of dissolving calcium carbonate if given the chance.Researchers call it “aggressive” or “decalcifying” water—but they do not say it guarantees corrosion.LSI ≈ 0Theoretical equilibrium with calcium carbonate.In the real world, systems almost never sit at perfect equilibrium because of flow, aeration, dosing, and turbulence.Positive LSIWater is supersaturat AquaStar Pool ProductsThe Global Leader in Safety, Dependability, & Innovation in Pool Technology.POOL MAGAZINE Pool Magazine is leading up to the minute news source for Swimming Pool News and Pool Features.

2025 has been a tremendous year for the artificial intelligence industry. Stock prices for AI companies skyrocketed, soaring beyond expectations and propping up an otherwise stagnant U.S. economy. But everywhere, there's talk of an AI bubble — one even bigger and more threatening than the 2008 housing bubble or the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. What makes this bubble so different? When is it likely to pop? And if it does, what does that mean for the rest of us? In this episode of Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Ed Zitron and Sruthi Pinnamaneni, journalists covering the AI frenzy, to recap the year of the AI Bubble — and predict what will happen next.

DEKA World Championships took place in Fort Lauderdale, FL this past weekend and while we focus on being an OCR podcast, this event has my interest every year! Since we didn't fly down to cover it in person (someday!), we looked for an athlete to have on the show to talk about their experience. It didn't take long to pick Brooklyn Nichols as our potential guest as she had an incredible race weekend being the first elite to win all events, especially in an increasingly stacked field! We talk about her background in sport and fitness, coaching, how she came across hybrid racing, her history with DEKA, her plans for the world championships, HYROX, and much more! We did not discuss the sled station in the DEKA STRONG because what matters is the end result and that Brooklyn had an incredible series of races. I am not an expert in the sport but that being said Dave Claxton is as the head official, and DEKA stands by their decision and I'm sure there will be other podcasts talking about the situation.

My guest this week is Gavin Baker. Gavin is the managing partner and CIO of Atreides Management, and he has been on the show many times before. I will never forget when I first met Gavin in 2017. I find his interest in markets, his curiosity about the world to be as infectious as any investor that I've ever come across. He's encyclopedic on what is going on in the world of technology today, and I've had the good fortune to host him every year or two on this podcast. Gavin began covering Nvidia as an investor more than two decades ago, giving him a rare perspective on how the company – and the entire semiconductor ecosystem – has evolved. A lot has changed since our last conversation a year ago, making this the perfect time to revisit the topic. In this conversation, we talk about everything that interests Gavin – Nvidia's GPUs, Google's TPUs, the changing AI landscape, the math and business models around AI companies and everything in between. We also discussed the idea of data centers in space, which he communicates with his usual passion and logic. In closing, at the end of this conversation, because I've asked him my traditional closing question before, I asked him a different question, which led to a discussion of his entire investing origin story that I had never heard before. Because Gavin is one of the most passionate thinkers and investors that I know, these conversations are always amongst my most favorite. I hope you enjoy this latest in the series of discussions with Gavin Baker.

In his latest memo, Howard Marks addresses the much-asked question, “Is there a bubble in AI?” He identifies the uncertainty associated with AI investments and the conspicuous parallels to previous bubbles, while also acknowledging why those comparisons could be inappropriate. Given AI's vast potential but numerous unknowns, no one can say for certain whether investors' current enthusiasm is merited or irrational. Thus, Howard emphasizes the importance of prudence and selectivity in navigating this transformative yet unpredictable technological revolution.You can read the memo here (https://oaktreecapital.com/insights/memo/is-it-a-bubble).

What if the real threat to your financial future isn't the next market crash… but the AI-fueled bubble we may already be living through? Today's So Money is part liberation, part investing reality check, and part clapback at the financial pressure women face to “get it perfect” when the system itself is unpredictable.I'm joined by Amanda Holden, author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady, who breaks down how to build real, long-term wealth even as tech stocks dominate headlines, valuations drift from reality, and everyone seems to be bracing for a correction. Together, we unpack the psychology of risk, what true diversification looks like in an AI-obsessed market, and why slow, intentional investing still works — especially now. Hosted on Acast.

Is AI building the future — or inflating the next great tech bubble?This week's episode of Leveraging AI peels back the layers of billion-dollar optimism and uncovers the quiet panic sweeping the AI giants. From OpenAI's internal “Code Red” to Anthropic's cautious warnings, host Isar Meitis walks you through the pivotal shifts shaking the foundation of the AI industry.While tech giants throw trillions into compute power and bold promises, business adoption is… shockingly stagnant. Are we seeing signs of a bubble about to burst — or is the market simply catching its breath before the next leap?If you're a business leader navigating the hype, headlines, and high stakes, this is your briefing.In this session, you'll discover:Why OpenAI froze development and went into Code Red modeHow $8 trillion in projected AI infrastructure is colliding with disappointing ROIThe growing disconnect between enterprise AI adoption and corporate AI spendWhat top CEOs like IBM's Arvind Krishna and Anthropic's Dario Amodei really think about the AI investment surgeA jaw-dropping look at deep AI infrastructure costs and the five-year obsolescence cycleWhy Claude Opus 4.5 is being called the best coding model on the marketThe bold new moves from AWS, including agentic AI factoriesPolitical pressures: PAC wars, employee protests, and the race to regulateAnd what your company should (and shouldn't) do right now to stay aheadAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!
The service industry is entering a major correction — and most entrepreneurs have no idea what's coming.Across the country, service prices have skyrocketed while customer satisfaction and perceived value have stayed the same. Haircuts, cleaning services, videography, coaching, design, consulting — almost every service-based business is charging more but delivering the same thing.And now the market is pushing back.Customers are cutting expenses. Jobs are being eliminated. Household budgets are shrinking. Subscriptions are getting canceled. Loyalty no longer exists in this new economy.
Joe Oltmann Untamed tackles the explosive arrest of Brian Cole, the Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, just before the January 6 riots. With fresh updates from Fox News and eyewitness video of the Woodbridge standoff, we'll dive into the FBI's five-year investigation, the $500,000 reward, and Cole's alleged anarchist ties, as reported by the Daily Mail. Plus, we'll slam Colorado Governor Jared Polis, dubbed a “SLEAZEBAG” by President Trump on Truth Social, for his role in the ongoing Tina Peters saga.Financial expert Vince Lanci joins us to unpack the silver market's wild 83.52% yearly surge, and the looming AI bubble threatening U.S. equities. With 30 years in commodities and his acclaimed GoldFix newsletter, Vince will share battle-tested strategies from Echobay Partners to navigate U.S. policy impacts and China's silver supply crunch. Don't miss his take on whether the AI boom mirrors the dot-com bust, backed by BlackRock data and Yahoo Finance's “air pocket” warning. We welcome Peter Ticktin for a Tina Peters update, exploring her legal battle with new documents like the BOP's transfer request and an emergency motion for bond release due to her mother's life-threatening injuries. From his bold call for the 101st Airborne to free Peters to challenging Colorado's justice system, Ticktin's decades of legal prowess shine. With the court backlog and Polis' stance in focus, we'll grill him on strategy and evidence. Stay untamed—truth awaits!
Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this podcast or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ --- In this episode, I reflect on the third anniversary of ChatGPT's launch as a marker of where we are in the exponential age. As a product, ChatGPT captures the speed of technological progress, the new behaviours emerging around it and the widening gap between innovation and institutional change – all symptomatic of the era I called the exponential age in my 2021 book. I cover: (00:09) How ChatGPT became synonymous with AI (01:41) The rise of the reasoning model (03:53) Why NVIDIA's chip cycle is exponential (05:53) How general-purpose tech changes everything (07:59) The subtle power of building bespoke software (11:46) The iPhone calculation that breaks everything (14:53) Who profits from a general-purpose technology? (16:38) The software market example (20:07) Are we headed towards another .com crash?

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 336: Alice Brooks, ASC For cinematographer Alice Brooks, ASC, shooting both Wicked and Wicked: For Good concurrently was a huge feat. The giant sets, precise camerawork and complex, live lighting cues for the musical numbers required detailed planning and prep. But first, Alice and her long-time collaborator, director Jon M. Chu, broke down the scripts and discussed the emotional intentions for each scene. “When we first start talking about a movie, we talk about emotion,” says Alice. “I love getting an emotional cue for the camera the same way an actor would. What is the emotional intention in the scene? An actor gets to tell the story through their breath and through their looks and through their being. And I get to tell the story, the emotional story, through camera and lenses and lighting.” Separation, seclusion and surrender were the emotional themes in Wicked: For Good. “It became very clear that the first movie would live in this ever-present daylight,” explains Alice. “And the second movie would have this weight and complexity and maturity and density to it and live in the shadows.” 90% of Wicked takes place in the daytime, with the sun setting as Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) embraces her power, sings “Defying Gravity” and flies away. In contrast, Wicked: For Good takes place mostly at night, in the shadows, forest, and underbelly of Oz while Elphaba is in hiding. Alice chose to frame the characters Glinda and Elphaba in contrasting ways for the story. Now separated from Elphaba, Glinda (Ariana Grande) is central to the world of Oz. Alice kept her center punched, carefully composed and choreographed. Elphaba is framed always to the right or left, with tight close-ups and static hand-held shots, to emphasize her loneliness. When the two are together, Alice repeated the same motifs from the first movie, with Ephaba framed to the right and Glinda to the left, often holding hands. Though Wicked: For Good is a huge fantasy movie, Alice and the production crew tried to do as much practically and in camera as possible. The “Girl in the Bubble” dance sequence was done entirely with carefully choreographed mirrors and flyaway walls that were removed as Glinda dances. Alice planned it out using her daughter's bath toys and her husband's shaving mirror. The art department storyboarded it, then the special effects team was able to figure out all the mirror technology needed to pull it off. The camerawork had to be very precise, with many of the frames exactly matching the last, combining both a Technocrane and a Steadicam. Unreal Engine was an indispensable tool for Alice to aid the film's sophisticated lighting and shot design. She used the software to pre-visualize outdoor sets, making sure the sun was at the right angle for perfectly backlighting Glinda in her bubble over Munchkin Land. It also helped her discover where the sun would hit tall buildings and spires of the Emerald City. Unreal assisted with pre-lighting, finding where practical light sources could be integrated and built into interior sets. She even tested different camera lenses to see how they would look in the space under certain lighting conditions and at various angles and heights. Alice is the cinematographer for the upcoming animated Spiderman: Beyond The Spider-verse as well as an animated version of the Dr. Seuss book, Oh The Places You'll Go with director Jon M. Chu.

AI-driven investment, rising leverage and shifting market dynamics are reshaping the 2026 stock market outlook. As companies accelerate spending on data centers, chips and digital infrastructure, micro-level decisions are increasingly influencing the capital markets and broader economy.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Jean Boivin, Head of the BlackRock Investment Institute, about the major forces shaping the 2026 markets and investing landscape. Jean breaks down how AI-related capital expenditure is transforming growth patterns, why governments and companies may need to leverage up to finance large-scale projects, and how these trends interact with today's policy and market environment.They also explore the diversification mirage — the idea that in an economy driven by a few powerful megaforces, some strategies that appear diversified may actually be concentrated calls. Jean shares how this affects views on regional equity markets, fixed income trends and the evolving structure of global investing.

Trump's rallies have been his signature event, but since he returned to the White House, he has stopped doing them. And his allies are worried he's losing touch with voters, as well as his political antenna. Instead of traveling the country, he's dining with billionaires, playing golf, and going abroad in search of his elusive peace prize. Meanwhile, he can't stay awake in own Cabinet meetings. Plus, the heat is on Hegseth, the ex-Honduran president Trump pardoned bragged about stuffing drugs up the noses of Americans, and the results of the Tennessee special election are a good sign for Democrats—and a reminder for the party to go all-in on the gerrymandering war.

The penultimate College Football Playoff rankings have been released, but the picture of who is going to make it in the final field is still unclear. A CFP first could happen this year with the potential of two Group of Five teams making the Playoff. This would mean the ACC champion would be left out. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss the scenario in which this could happen. They also discuss which bubble teams should be concerned and which bubble teams have a good shot at making the Playoff. Can Texas or Miami make their way into the field of 12? Is there a way Miami can jump Notre Dame? The guys dive into all of this and more from the latest rankings reveal.Then, they jump back on the coaching carousel.

Andy and Godfrey explain how this all occurred and what role the CEO of Crumbl played in this story. Then, they discuss where Penn State goes from here and who fits best for the role. The guys also look at some other jobs that have been filled as both Oregon coordinators are set to become head coaches. Oregon's defensive coordinator, Tosh Lupoi, returns to his alma mater to be the head coach at Cal. Oregon's offensive coordinator, Will Stein, is off to be the head coach for Kentucky. How will these new branches from the Dan Lanning tree grow at their new locations?Later, Andy and Godfrey dive into some recruiting news. The early national signing period begins on Wednesday and a shocking flip has already occurred. On Tuesday, it was announced that the top-ranked quarterback, Jared Curtis, is flipping from Georgia to Vanderbilt.
