Mark Sedgwick finished this winter as #1 on the CARV global leaderboard for short turns, with a Ski IQ of 180 — the highest recorded this season. In this episode, I sit down with Mark to find out exactly how he got there.Mark is an Australian-born ski professional who started at age 10 and never looked back. He's worked through the APSI, CSIA, and Austrian instructor systems, raced in Europe, ran ski resorts, and now plays a senior role in the PSIC (Professional Ski Instructors of Canada) — including integrating CARV data into Level 4 certification exams.This is one of the most practical, data-rich ski improvement conversations I've had on the show. We cover:→ The difference between play, purposeful practice, and deliberate practice→ Why just trying harder keeps you stuck at the same score→ The #1 and #2 metrics that drive short turn Ski IQ→ Mark's philosophy: make something exist before you make it better→ Turn-by-turn breakdowns of parallel, carving, short turns, and moguls→ Why function before form is reshaping how ski instructors are trained→ A live coaching session using my real CARV data→ How Mark used AI to reverse-engineer the CARV scoring algorithm→ The future of CARV: stivets, one-ski skiing, and community featuresWhether you're a recreational skier trying to level up or a ski professional looking for a new lens on performance, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.——————————————————————————

Representantes do Grupo Técnico de Assessoramento à Execução da Sentença (GTA) da Ação Civil Pública (ACP) do Carvão participaram, na última semana, de uma missão técnica internacional nos Estados Unidos. A comitiva esteve no estado da Virgínia Ocidental (West Virginia), onde acompanhou um dos principais eventos mundiais voltados à drenagem ácida de minas e realizou visitas técnicas em áreas de recuperação ambiental e operações de mineração. A programação incluiu participação em workshop técnico sobre tratamento de drenagem ácida com uso de software especializado, além de visitas organizadas pelo Departamento de Proteção Ambiental da Virgínia Ocidental (WVDEP) e empresas do setor mineral norte-americano. Durante a missão, os representantes brasileiros conheceram estruturas de tratamento de drenagem ácida, áreas em processo de reabilitação ambiental, minas em operação e projetos de reaproveitamento de áreas no pós-mineração. O grupo também acompanhou iniciativas ligadas ao uso de rejeitos carbonosos para geração de energia e ações de desenvolvimento econômico em regiões anteriormente impactadas pela atividade mineradora. Segundo os participantes, a experiência possibilitou contato com soluções já consolidadas nos Estados Unidos que podem contribuir com os projetos ambientais desenvolvidos no Sul catarinense. Integrante da comitiva, o engenheiro ambiental da Carbonífera Catarinense, Eduardo Rabelo, falou sobre a experiência durante entrevista ao programa Cruz de Malta Notícias desta terça-feira (12). De acordo com ele, a nova missão surgiu após os resultados positivos obtidos em uma visita técnica anterior realizada em 2025. “Então, devido ao sucesso daquela que teve em meados ali de 2025 e que teve bastante efeito prático para quem acompanha aí a ACP do Carvão, principalmente na questão do descomissionamento e antecipação de uso dessas áreas para os proprietários, a juíza que conduz toda essa ACP do Carvão ficou muito interessada no que viu lá e quis fazer outra”, relatou. Rabelo destacou ainda que a viagem permitiu unir a participação no simpósio internacional sobre águas ácidas com visitas em campo para observação prática das técnicas aplicadas pelos norte-americanos. “Então a gente visitou áreas em processo de recuperação, áreas mineradas a céu aberto, estação de tratamento de efluente, minas em operação e o mais interessante é que o que a gente viu que eles fazem lá, muita coisa a gente já faz aqui também. Então só nos mostra que a gente está no caminho certo”, afirmou. A missão técnica reforça o intercâmbio de conhecimento entre Brasil e Estados Unidos em relação à recuperação ambiental de áreas impactadas pela mineração, especialmente no contexto da ACP do Carvão, considerada uma das maiores ações ambientais do país.

Representantes dos sindicatos dos mineiros de Santa Catarina e do Rio Grande do Sul estão em Brasília em uma mobilização pela aprovação de um Projeto de Lei Complementar que trata da aposentadoria especial para trabalhadores da mineração de carvão. A proposta visa assegurar condições diferenciadas de aposentadoria, levando em conta os riscos e a insalubridade característicos da atividade. A comitiva reúne lideranças sindicais da região Sul, que cumprem agenda na capital federal com o objetivo de sensibilizar parlamentares e reforçar a relevância da pauta para a categoria. O movimento destaca a necessidade de reconhecimento legal das condições enfrentadas diariamente pelos mineiros, como a exposição a agentes nocivos e o trabalho em ambientes de alta periculosidade. Direto de Brasília, o presidente da Federação Interestadual dos Trabalhadores na Extração de Carvão do Sul do País, Genoir José dos Santos, o Foquinha, atualizou as informações sobre o andamento do projeto durante entrevista ao Cruz de Malta Notícias desta quinta-feira (9). Segundo ele, a mobilização está concentrada no Projeto de Lei Complementar 66, de autoria da deputada Ana Paula, que trata especificamente dos trabalhadores da mineração de carvão dos estados do Paraná, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul. “O projeto já foi aprovado na Comissão de Previdência e agora está na Comissão de Finanças e Tributação. Tivemos uma reunião muito produtiva com o relator, deputado Zé Neto, que apresentou parecer favorável e destacou a importância da proposta dentro do contexto da transição energética”, explicou. Foquinha também ressaltou o compromisso assumido pelo presidente da Comissão de Finanças e Tributação, deputado Merlong Solano, de pautar o projeto assim que ele chegar oficialmente ao colegiado. “Ele garantiu que não vai engavetar a proposta e que irá colocá-la em discussão com os parlamentares”, afirmou. Apesar da expectativa de avanço imediato, o projeto ainda passa por análise do impacto financeiro na Previdência. De acordo com o dirigente sindical, o custo será baixo, já que o número de trabalhadores do setor não chega a 3 mil no Sul do país. Ele argumenta ainda que os mineiros já contribuem de forma diferenciada ao sistema previdenciário. “No trabalho em subsolo, a contribuição chega a 47,5%. Um trabalhador que recebe R$ 5 mil, por exemplo, contribui com mais de R$ 2 mil por mês. É uma realidade diferente de outras categorias”, destacou. Para as lideranças, a aposentadoria especial é uma questão de justiça diante das condições extremas da atividade. A reivindicação também se apoia na Lei 14.299/2022, que garante a continuidade da extração de carvão para geração de energia até 2040, inserindo o debate no contexto da transição energética. “Estamos dentro da lei, discutindo um direito que precisa ser reconhecido. Nossa atividade é de risco máximo e precisa de um tratamento adequado”, concluiu Foquinha.

Do narrower skis actually make you carve better on piste? What about in moguls? And what sorts of skis are the best skiers actually using? For less-experienced folks, do certain skis make it easier to progress? Luke Koppa dives into these questions and more with the folks at Carv and Stomp It Tutorials. Carv's Jamie Salter brings a bunch of fascinating data to the conversation, and Stomp It Tutorials' Jens Nyström adds his perspective as an instructor who's been helping skiers of all backgrounds for years.

About That Coming AI Apocalypse Episode 375 – A recent essay by Matt Shumer, CEO of OthersideAI, an artificial intelligence company, has gone viral. He projects widespread employment disruption due to the rise of AI, and much more quickly than most people expect. Is he right? More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 375 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: are we really on the precipice of an AI apocalypse? Just in case you missed this, an essay written and published in February 2026 by Matt Shumer, CEO of OthersideAI, an artificial intelligence company, has gone viral. It got over 50 million views in its first three days.[1] His message: be very afraid. Shumer is sometimes referred to as an “AI Influencer.”[2] He says that he's noticed a trend in recent months. The change isn't coming; it's already here. And worse than that, it's accelerating. “In 2025, new techniques for building these models unlocked a much faster pace of progress. And then it got even faster. And then faster again. Each new model wasn’t just better than the last… it was better by a wider margin.”[3] In other words, according to Shumer, AI is now building on itself. Shumer claims he is no longer needed for the “actual technical work” of his job. In fact, he claims that AI has gone from “helpful tool” to “does my job better than I do.”[4] He also shares a prediction that 50 percent of entry-level white-collar jobs will be eliminated in one to five years. Things such as writing, legal work, medical analysis and customer service are especially in jeopardy, in his opinion. If this is if fact the case, one might wonder how white-collar management candidates will be trained in five years. Could a fight for upper management candidates in white-collar industries develop? And how might that affect the companies and industries themselves in the long term? That said, there's certainly no shortage of pushback on Shumer's post. Paulo Carvão at Forbes argues that Shumer's essay is, to some extent, a sales pitch. One of the pieces of advice Shumer gives is to sign up for the most expensive premium AI models. He suggests that those people will be better off than those who use the standard off-the-shelf models.[5] Gary Marcus, a professor emeritus of cognitive science at NYU, has referred to Shumer's essay as “weaponized hype.”[6] Marcus's criticism is two-fold. First, he says that studies have indicated that AI models still exhibit significant reasoning errors, even in advanced AI systems. He also accuses Shumer of making exaggerated claims about some of the other models he had previously worked on.[7] That said, it's only natural to think that AI could change employment dynamics in the long run. However, it seems unlikely that AI will similarly affect blue-collar workers. AI might be able to write a legal brief for you, but it still can't fix your plumbing. This is certainly not our first technological revolution. Another criticism is that if Shumer is correct, this time would be different from all the others.[8] In the long run, every other technological upheaval has created more jobs than it eliminated.[9] And the effect that AI has on white-collar employment may take longer than Shumer expects, if it happens at all. Take the financial services industry, for example. AI may be helpful with certain research-related projects, but you'll still need someone to guide you through the maze of options you have, for example, when funding a retirement plan or applying for life insurance. And a human being can help address some of your emotional and family issues that AI will never understand. Never underestimate the value of human contact. There are, of course, a lot of good things that come from AI. It makes sense that AI can make you more productive. It may eventually do some of the more tedious and time-consuming tasks you have to deal with, allowing you to focus on more meaningful items, such as long-term strategic planning. It also has the potential to improve the quality and length of all of our lives through more accurate medical diagnostics and analysis. Just how much of Shumer's prophecy comes true—and perhaps more importantly, when—remains to be seen. It's safe to say that there will be some disruption. No one can know just how much and how quickly. But it may be a bad idea to buy into the instant hype. Sixty years after The Jetsons, our world looks nothing like everyone thought it would. In the words of Andy Kessler, columnist at The Wall Street Journal, “We won't see a utopia or dystopia. We'll see faster growth and more productivity.”[10] One final note.

Os trabalhadores da mineração de carvão da região aprovaram, no último sábado (14), durante uma Assembleia Geral Extraordinária Unificada realizada em Siderópolis, a proposta de reajuste salarial apresentada pelos empregadores para a formalização da Convenção Coletiva de Trabalho de 2026. Durante o encontro, os mineiros analisaram os termos da negociação e deliberaram pela aprovação de um reajuste total de 6%. O percentual é composto pela reposição da inflação medida pelo Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor (INPC/IBGE) de 2025, de 3,90%, acrescida de 2,10% de aumento real. Segundo a categoria, o resultado representa um ganho de 53,84% acima do índice inflacionário. Com a definição do acordo, o piso salarial das minas passa a ser de R$ 4.040,88. Também foram atualizados outros benefícios da categoria, como o abono de férias do sócio, fixado em R$ 2.706,84, e o vale leite/vale alimentação, que passa a ser de R$ 195,00. A assembleia também aprovou mudanças relacionadas às condições de trabalho. Entre elas está a ampliação do fornecimento de uniformes para atividades no subsolo. Antes limitado a quatro mudas de roupa, o benefício passa a garantir cinco mudas para trabalhadores que atuam nas funções de ajudante PT/BBD, ajudante de minerador, mecânico, operador SCAR, operador LHD e operador de carregadeira. Outra alteração diz respeito ao benefício pago em caso de morte do trabalhador. O valor, que antes correspondia a cinco pisos salariais da categoria, foi ampliado para seis pisos, oferecendo maior amparo às famílias. Além do reajuste geral, algumas funções em empresas mineradoras da região conquistaram índices maiores de aumento. O presidente da Federação Interestadual dos Trabalhadores em Extração de Carvão do Sul do País, Genoir José dos Santos, o Foquinha, explicou que determinadas atividades receberam percentuais diferenciados. "Algumas funções na Carbonífera Metropolitana, por exemplo, o ajudante de topógrafo, o carpinteiro, o madeireiro e o bombeiro a gente conseguiu um índice de reajuste de 8%. No geral 6%, e para essas atividades 8%. Pro operador de máquinas pesada de superfície, a gente conseguiu além dos 6%, mais um abono de 120 reais. Isso dá em torno de 8,5% no salário. E para os eletricista, além do 6%, mais 50 reais. Está em torno de 6,90%. Para as funções também de mecânico, de madeireiro, mecânico de correia e bombeiro nível 1 da Rio Deserto, a gente conseguiu 9,90% e para os eletricista também nível 1. Para os trabalhadores da Catarinense, operador de Big Brother, que é o pessoal que monitora as câmeras lá, esse pessoal, além do 6%, ainda receberam mais 270 reais no salário. O detonador também da Catarinense, além de — dos 6%, também recebeu mais 270 reais. Então teve algumas atividades que a gente conseguiu um índice melhor do que o 6. Não para todo mundo, no geral foi 6%, mas teve algumas atividade que teve uma — uma melhora", detalhou.

O diretor executivo do Sindicato da Indústria de Extração de Carvão do Estado de Santa Catarina, Márcio José Cabral, destacou que, apesar de a negociação ter sido mais demorada, o resultado final foi considerado positivo para trabalhadores e empresas.

Techno und Machtmißbrauch. Mehrere Medien berichten seit Tagen über Vorwürfe sexueller Übergriffe im Umfeld international gebuchter DJs wie Shlomo, Carv und Odymel. Gleichzeitig droht den Clubs auf dem RAW-Gelände in Friedrichshain eine Nutzungsuntersagung – ein politischer Konflikt, der Veranstaltende existenziell treffen könnte. Zwei Nachrichten. Ein strukturelles Problem. In dieser Folge öffnen Zoe und Jessie die Steer-Akten und erklären, warum man hier sich über instrumentalisierten Feminismus sprechen muss. Außerdem ordnen die Expertinnen ein, weshalb die Clubkultur auf dem RAW-Gelände auch vor den neusten Ereignissen unter massivem ökonomischem Druck stand. In dieser Folge geht's um Machtstrukturen im Nachtleben. Um politische Steuerung von Stadträumen. Und um die Frage, ob Berlin gerade die Kontrolle über sein kulturelles Aushängeschild verliert. Eine Folge zwischen Skandal und Standortpolitik. Reinhören und mitdiskutieren!

De hardtechnoscene is in rep en roer. Verschillende grote dj's, zoals Shlomo, Odymel, Carv en Basswell worden beschuldigd van grensoverschrijdend gedrag. Bron: een voormalig medewerker van het Franse boekingskantoor Steer. Hij noemt zich Brad No Limit en doet een boekje open over predatorgedrag dat volgens hem tegen alle moraal in gaat. Wat is hier precies aan de hand? En na maanden onderzoek heeft de Europese Commissie zijn goedkeuring uitgesproken over de overname van Downtown Music Holdings door Universal. Waarom lag dat zo gevoelig?

A Câmara de Vereadores de Lauro Müller recebe, nesta segunda-feira (23), o diretor técnico do SIECESC Carvão+, Márcio Zanuz, para uma explanação sobre a antecipação de uso em áreas inseridas em Ações Civis Públicas (ACPs) relacionadas à mineração de carvão. A participação do especialista foi intermediada pela Fundação Ambiental Municipal (FAM), a partir de requerimento do vereador Ricardo Fontanella, com o objetivo de ampliar o entendimento sobre o tema, que influencia diretamente o desenvolvimento urbano e a regularização de áreas no município. Além de diretor técnico do SIECESC Carvão+, Zanuz também atua como diretor administrativo e financeiro da SATC e integra o Grupo Técnico de Assessoramento (GTA) do SIECESC, reunindo ampla experiência na área. As ACPs do carvão são processos judiciais que tratam das áreas impactadas pela mineração, estabelecendo diretrizes para a recuperação ambiental e o uso do solo. Em determinadas situações, é possível a antecipação de uso dessas áreas, desde que sejam atendidos critérios técnicos, ambientais e legais, assunto que será detalhado durante a apresentação na Câmara. O tema é considerado estratégico para o planejamento urbano e envolve diretamente proprietários de imóveis, profissionais das áreas ambiental e da construção civil, além do setor de loteamentos. A engenheira ambiental e sanitarista do município, Taise Fortunato, destacou a importância da população acompanhar a discussão, ressaltando que o assunto tem impacto direto no futuro do crescimento urbano de Lauro Müller.

When it comes to the question of ski width, there are some very strong opinions held by skiers, and lots of them aren't true. Are lots of people on skis that are too wide? Will a skinnier ski always carve better than a wider ski? What's the ideal width for mogul skiing? And is there any real difference in bottomless powder between a 120mm-wide and a 135mm-wide ski? Today, Luke Koppa and Jonathan Ellsworth walk through the entire range of skis from 65mm to 135mm wide, and hope to clear up a number of confusions and debunk some myths about ski width.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please share with us the questions, topics, or stories you'd like us to cover on GEAR:30.

O Instituto do Meio Ambiente de Santa Catarina (IMA) deu um passo considerado histórico na conciliação entre desenvolvimento regional e responsabilidade ambiental ao emitir a primeira Autorização de Uso Antecipado do Solo voltada a áreas inseridas no contexto da Ação Civil Pública (ACP) do Carvão, no Sul do Estado. A iniciativa inaugura um novo modelo de encaminhamento do licenciamento ambiental para intervenções em territórios ambientalmente sensíveis, trazendo mais previsibilidade, segurança jurídica e transparência aos processos. A autorização foi concedida à Prefeitura de Treviso e está relacionada à pavimentação de um importante eixo viário intermunicipal. O ato marca o início formal de um fluxo institucional construído em conjunto com a Justiça Federal e o Ministério Público Federal, permitindo que obras de interesse público avancem de forma responsável, sem comprometer os critérios de proteção ambiental. De acordo com o IMA, trata-se de uma etapa inicial que possibilita a avaliação técnica da viabilidade das intervenções em áreas marcadas por passivos ambientais relevantes, especialmente aquelas abrangidas pela ACP do Carvão. O procedimento segue critérios definidos no âmbito do Grupo de Trabalho de Assessoramento (GTA), elaborados ao longo do último ano em diálogo com os órgãos de controle. Para a sociedade, o avanço é significativo. Além de contribuir para a melhoria da infraestrutura e da mobilidade regional, o novo procedimento fortalece a governança ambiental, reduz incertezas para o poder público e para a população local e reafirma o papel do Estado como mediador qualificado entre o desenvolvimento econômico e a preservação dos recursos naturais. Em entrevista ao programa Cruz de Malta Notícias, nesta sexta-feira (6), o coordenador regional do Meio Ambiente de Criciúma, Ibanez Anibal Zanette, destacou que o novo procedimento representa um importante avanço para áreas abrangidas pela ACP do Carvão, ao permitir soluções técnicas responsáveis e alinhadas às exigências legais e ambientais.

Já está em vigor a flexibilização que autoriza o uso de terrenos localizados em áreas densamente urbanizadas e abrangidas pela Ação Civil Pública do Carvão (ACP do Carvão). A medida foi definida por consenso no âmbito do Grupo Técnico de Assessoramento à Execução da Sentença (GTA) e estabelece critérios específicos para a liberação dessas áreas. De acordo com a decisão, a permissão contempla exclusivamente a construção e utilização para fins residenciais e de pequenos comércios, desde que os imóveis estejam situados em quadras com índice mínimo de 70% de ocupação já consolidada. A liberação, no entanto, não ocorre de forma automática. O processo prevê um mapeamento completo das áreas envolvidas e começa com uma consulta prévia, na qual será verificado se o interessado se enquadra nos critérios estabelecidos. Na sequência, a demanda é encaminhada à Satc, responsável por identificar e avaliar individualmente se o terreno está inserido nas quadras consideradas aptas para a flexibilização. Para embasar a iniciativa, representantes da indústria carbonífera analisaram experiências internacionais, buscando referências em modelos adotados em outros países, como um projeto desenvolvido no estado da Pensilvânia, nos Estados Unidos. Envolvido com a ACP do Carvão desde 2004, o diretor-técnico do Siecesc-Carvão+, Márcio Zanuz, participou de entrevista no programa desta sexta-feira (23), onde detalhou os objetivos da medida e destacou a importância do equilíbrio entre a recuperação ambiental e a realidade urbana das regiões afetadas.

Conhecida como o berço do carvão nacional, Lauro Müller celebra 69 anos de emancipação político-administrativa relembrando uma trajetória construída a partir da mineração, da ferrovia e da força de seus colonizadores. O município também abriga um dos principais cartões-postais de Santa Catarina, a Serra do Rio do Rastro, reconhecida nacional e internacionalmente por sua imponência e beleza natural. A história de Lauro Müller começa no final do século XIX, com a chegada da Estrada de Ferro Dona Tereza Cristina, em 1884. Conhecida como a “Ferrovia do Carvão”, a linha férrea foi fundamental para o desenvolvimento da região. A estação ferroviária foi inaugurada em 1885 e marcou o início do crescimento urbano e econômico do então povoado. Antes de receber o nome atual, a localidade era chamada de Minas ou Bom Retiro, denominação atribuída pelos tropeiros que utilizavam a região como ponto de descanso, atraídos pela abundância de boas águas para os animais. A partir de 1841, a área passou a ser explorada de forma mais intensa com a descoberta de importantes reservas de carvão mineral, que impulsionaram a ocupação e o desenvolvimento local. Os primeiros colonizadores de Lauro Müller foram, em sua maioria, descendentes de imigrantes italianos vindos de municípios como Urussanga e Treviso. A formação da cidade ocorreu inicialmente por meio da caça, da exploração da erva-mate e da extração de madeiras nobres, atividades que sustentaram as primeiras famílias e abriram caminho para a consolidação da comunidade. Até o ano de 1905, o município era oficialmente conhecido como Minas. O nome foi alterado para Lauro Müller em homenagem ao então ministro Lauro Severiano Müller. Anos mais tarde, em 1956, o distrito foi desmembrado de Orleans e, em 1957, conquistou sua emancipação, passando a figurar oficialmente como município independente. A data foi lembrada no programa Cruz de Malta Notícias desta terça-feira (20), com a participação de Pedro Lopes, comunicador com longa trajetória ligada à história de Lauro Müller e à Câmara de Vereadores, onde atualmente atua como diretor. Durante a entrevista, ele destacou a importância de preservar a memória do município e valorizar personagens que ajudaram a construir sua identidade.

A assinatura do contrato de energia de reserva entre a Diamante Geração de Energia e o Governo Federal, com validade até 2040, foi apontada como uma das principais conquistas de 2025 para o setor carbonífero catarinense. O acordo garante segurança jurídica e econômica a uma cadeia produtiva responsável por cerca de 21 mil empregos diretos e indiretos e por uma movimentação anual estimada em R$ 6 bilhões na economia regional. A avaliação foi feita pela presidente do Sindicato da Indústria de Extração de Carvão do Estado de Santa Catarina (Siecesc – Carvão +), Astrid Barato, durante entrevista concedida nesta terça-feira (23) ao programa Cruz de Malta Notícias. Segundo ela, o ano foi marcado por avanços importantes tanto na área econômica quanto ambiental, consolidando um novo momento para o setor. Entre os destaques, Astrid ressaltou o desenvolvimento de projetos de pesquisa e inovação no Centro Tecnológico da SATC, voltados à transição e à sustentabilidade da atividade carbonífera. As iniciativas incluem estudos sobre captura de carbono, além da produção de fertilizantes por meio de zeólitas obtidas a partir das cinzas do carvão, ampliando o aproveitamento de resíduos e agregando valor à cadeia produtiva. Outro ponto relevante foi o avanço na Ação Civil Pública (ACP) do Carvão, com a retomada das reuniões do Grupo Técnico de Assessoramento à Execução da Sentença (GTA), por determinação da Justiça Federal. O grupo discute parâmetros técnicos para a recuperação ambiental das áreas impactadas pela mineração no passado. Atualmente, cerca de 55% dessas áreas já passaram ou estão passando por obras de recuperação ambiental, resultado considerado significativo pelo setor. O Siecesc – Carvão + encerra o ano também com progressos nas tratativas para a liberação do uso de áreas da ACP localizadas em regiões densamente urbanizadas, o que pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento ordenado desses espaços. No campo social, o sindicato mantém o projeto Carvão Amigo, que presta auxílio a 12 entidades filantrópicas do Sul Catarinense, além de apoiar iniciativas como o Proerd, da Polícia Militar, os Protetores Ambientais da Polícia Militar Ambiental, o Projeto Golfinhos, do Corpo de Bombeiros, e o Pelotão da Esperança. Já no eixo esportivo, o Carvão + atua como patrocinador master do projeto Tigrinhos e do Campeonato Regional da Larm. Para Astrid Barato, os resultados de 2025 demonstram que o setor carbonífero segue em transformação, buscando conciliar desenvolvimento econômico, responsabilidade ambiental e compromisso social com a região Sul de Santa Catarina.

I have to admit that one of my core beliefs about moguls was challenged during this most recent conversation with Olympic Moguls silver medalist Matt Graham. For a long time, I believed that more ski snow contact was the ultimate sign of a good bump skierl. But in this open and honest conversation, Matt explains why the opposite is true when you want speed and rhythm in a mogul course.I was working with Carv at Hintertux when I met up with him, and he talked me through the key ideas the best bump skiers in the world rely on plus a whole lot more

Lots of people dream of starting a ski or snowboard or some type of company in the outdoor industry. But how do you go about actually doing that, and really getting a company off the ground? At Blister Summit 2025, I talked with four individuals who had the dream — and the audacity — to start their own companies: Klem Branner, Venture Snowboards; Will Ritter, Spark R&D; Jamie Grant, CARV; and Cobey Nash, AlpenFlow Design. Today you'll hear them talk about the highs, the lows, and the breakthroughs that come with starting a company — and the arguably even more challenging work of keeping a company going.RELATED LINKS:Get Covered: BLISTER+TOPICS & TIMES:New Blister Cinematic Ep w/ Cody (1:00)New BLISTER+ Members (2:01)Founder Introductions (3:42)How Long from Idea to Launch?

How can technology enhance our adventure experiences on skis? Is it possible that ski coaches, instructors and guides can be replaced by technology all together?In this episode we touch on these questions as we explore Carv with Morgan Engel and Alex Jackson. Carv is a small device that skiers can affix to their ski boots that analyzes their movement patterns as they ski. The data that Carv collects is uploaded to a user-friendly app on a Smart Phone. From here, users can either analyze the data and metrics themselves. Users can also select one of the coaching modes that provides targeted feedback. This makes Carv the largest ski school in the world by hours taught!Alex Jackson is the VP of Marketing for Carv and is based in the UK. Morgan Engel is a PSIC Level 4, CSIA Level 4 and PSIA Level 3 ski instructor and a PSIC Level 4 Licensed Professional Trainer in Whistler, British Columbia.

Morgan has also helped develop the Carv Instructor Certification offered through the Professional Ski Instructors of Canada.Alex Jackson and Morgan Engel share their insights on what Carv is and how it can be used as a development tool for not just skiers, but by instructors, guides and coaches.TakeawaysInnovative: Carv is definitely a well thought out skill development tool for skiers that adds the possibility of gamifying skiing by trying to reach higher and higher scores. It is also nice to have a tool that measures your performance objectively with weight being placed on your performance instead of your style.Does Not Replace Snow Sports Professionals: There is still an important role for instructors when it comes to interpreting and communicating the data and structuring development. Carv also isn't going to tell you where the best snow is on a given run or how to prepare for what you are going to encounter before you get there.Adventure Enhancer: Carv is an excellent example of where technology can enhance the user experience. Other technologies that I can think of are apps like Stava and Gaia and devices like GoPros and even Smart Phones.Importance of Milestones: To keep us motivated and in a positive space, we need be able to break progress into small pieces. The one thing that Carv does well that other similar technologies should take note of is pointing out each time the user has reached a new level. It might be improving a certain metric or achieving an improved score. Guest BioAlex Jackson is based in London, UK and is the co-founder and VP of Marketing for Carv.

On this episode, we chat with Ying Liu about the 2025 PSIA-AASI Women's Summit at Solitude, an event dedicated to skill development, inclusivity, and connection. Ying dives into this year's theme, “Connecting Through Power and Grace,” and how it applies to both skiing and teaching. We explore key takeaways from the event, including technical coaching insights, the role of telemark skiing in building a beginner's mindset, and how proper boot fitting can dramatically impact performance. Ying also shares her experience skiing with PSIA-AASI national team members, testing the latest ski technology like CARV sensors, and how a unique coaching analogy involving a rodeo clown helped improve lateral movement on snow. Plus, we discuss what's ahead for the 2026 Women's Summit in Steamboat and how the event continues to evolve to support and inspire female snowsports professionals.

For the first time in company history, Armada is releasing a ski boot: the AR ONE. It's a project that's been in development for five years, and this release comes with a number of questions, like: why do a boot? And why now? What sort of boot is the AR ONE, how is it different from what's out there, and … who's it for? We discuss all of these questions and more with Matt Rihm, Armada's VP of Product, and Bransford Briggs, Ski Boot Product Manager.RELATED LINKS:CARV: getcarv.com (use code BLISTER32)Blister Rec Shop: Boot MechanicsGEAR:30 Ep #327 w/ Boot MechanicsBLISTER+: Get Yourself CoveredBlister Summit 2025TOPICS & TIMES:Boot Mechanics (1:20)Carv (2:11)The New Armada AR ONE (6:37)A “Hybrid Cabrio” Boot (12:40)Matt's Background (14:50)Bransford's Background (15:34)Development of the Boot (18:10)Heel Hold (21:26)Liner (24:09)Fit (25:30)Instep & the 2nd Buckle (28:33)Redneck Engineering (31:56)Plastic (34:28)Fine-Tuning Flex (39:00)Range of AR ONE Models (44:51)Who's It For?

Jon Jordan and BlockchainGamer.biz editor Jenny Jordan discuss all the news from 2024. [2:16] The success of Pixels was an ongoing trend in 2024; but it wasn't always about DAUWs. [2:35] Heroes of Mavia was the first big game and token launch of 2024 but it didn't scale. [4:10] In 2024, we saw a lot of blockchain games launching through app stores but no big hits. [6:10] Browser vs app stores and PC gaming stores remains a key business decision. [8:44] A lot of meme-y game coins such as MON, PORTAL, CARV, XAI launched in Q1. [11:30] There was a lot of news about chain migration - so many new L2 and L3 chains. [13:00] In Q2, there was a big change in sentiment with game token prices tanking. [14:11] The rise of KOLs, who encouraged retail crypto to invest in new tokens with often bad results. [16:05] The rise of Telegram and TON as a strong marketing channel for blockchain games. [17:46] Another nascent year for Immutable: Guild of Guardians was not a success. [22:17] But in Immutable's defence... 4 million Immutable Passport wallet sign-ups. [28:28] In Q3, the issue of bots became a problem esp. in respect to airdrops and token rewards. [30:09] What are you trying to do with your blockchain game when it comes to giving out value? [32:04] Does it matter if bots or AI agents are paying $10 to play your game? [32:30] The other thing in Q3 was the start of successful games on Ronin - Wild Forest, Lumiterra etc. [34:56] Pretty much every game launched on Ronin has got +100,000 DAUWs in testing. [37:19] Should we view console game Off The Grid as a success? [44:22] Whatever happened to The Sandbox? [45:25] CCP Game's EVE Frontier is now in closed alpha testing. [46:59] What's significant is these projects are very serious about the value of blockchain in games. [49:45] More generally, the US presidential election was the clear pivot point for crypto in 2024. [52:51] Investment into the sector was down on 2023 but around $1 billion.

As artificial intelligence reshapes our world at an unprecedented pace, the United States is being pressured to act. However, with Congress failing to pass meaningful AI legislation despite introducing over 100 bills, we face mounting challenges in governing this transformative technology. Paulo Carvão from Harvard’s Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government shares how, moving forward, the interplay between state initiatives, executive actions, and legislative gridlock will all influence how we'll shape AI's future in our democracy.
