Bryan Hummel is a big-time water nerd. Specializing in nature-based solutions to watershed and land management issues, he has brought his expertise to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Air Force, industry, and agriculture. The key to preventing flooding, he says, is to restore degraded land so that the soil becomes like a sponge, absorbing water and recharging subterranean aquifers––and in the process preventing flooding and contributing to the success of farming and ranching businesses, which thrive with abundant water resources. His techniques include beaver and bison biomimicry and permaculture techniques that slow, spread, and sink water into the soil instead of letting it run off.

President Trump and the first lady visited central Texas on Friday, surveying the catastrophic damage and offering comfort to families who lost loved ones in last week's floods. The death toll stands at 120 and at least 160 people are missing. Amna Nawaz reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Recent Iowa Weather Highlights Heavy Rainfall: Rain gauges in the Des Moines area report 1–2.2 inches; some areas in western/central Iowa received up to 6 inches in the past week. Southeast Iowa remains much drier, with some locations getting less than 0.1 inch.   Historical Context: July 11, 1993: Major flooding in Des Moines, with 250,000 residents losing water after levee breaches. 1993 marked 20 out of 37 consecutive days of measurable rain somewhere in Iowa. Current Wet Stretch: Statewide rainfall is 137% of normal for July so far. Several stations have received half a month's rainfall in just the last 10 days. Dew points remain high (60s–70s), signaling ongoing Gulf moisture. Weather Outlook Short-Term Forecast: Active weather continues for the next two days, with a chance of severe storms (supercells transitioning to linear systems). Flood warnings and flash flood watches remain in effect. After the weekend, temperatures return to the 90s, then cool down. Medium & Long-Term Outlook: July 16–20: Likely below-normal temperatures, leaning wet. July 18–24: Continued cool and wet trend. End of July: Warmer temperatures expected, with equal chances for precipitation. Southeast Iowa may remain drier than other regions. Regional Details: The "blue bullseye" for cooler weather covers eastern Nebraska, most of Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Weather Patterns & Impacts Storm Dynamics: Stationary fronts and ample Gulf moisture are causing repeated thunderstorms. Linear wind profiles have led to more squall lines and fewer tornadoes. "Training" thunderstorms have produced localized heavy rain. Precipitation Trends: 40% of Iowa's annual precipitation typically falls on just 10 days. High-intensity, short-duration rain events are becoming more common, often leading to localized flooding and drought in different parts of the state. National Weather Note: Texas Flooding Recent Event: Two Texas locations received 11 inches of rain in just over 24 hours. Catastrophic flooding on the Guadalupe River, with water rising 20–30 feet in under an hour. Factors: Gulf and monsoonal moisture, remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, and stalled weather systems. Similar patterns have caused flash flooding in Iowa (e.g., Clive in 2018, Des Moines metro in 2019). Specialty Crop & Pest Updates Disease Risks: Continued wetness raises concerns about foliar diseases (e.g., black rot in brassicas and cabbage). Wet conditions and heavy dews may increase disease pressure as the season progresses. Pest Observations & Management: Japanese Beetles: Active on crops like zinnias, basil, and sweet corn (can affect pollination if silk is heavily clipped). Control options: Conventional sprays (e.g., Mustang Maxx), manual removal, and using trap crops. Colorado Potato Beetle: Reports of spinosad resistance. Alternative controls: Physical removal (bucket method), azadirachtin, or biological products (though some, like certain BT strains, are hard to find). Potatoes can tolerate 33% defoliation before yield loss. Onion Thrips: High populations observed in some fields, causing silvery-white damage. Economic thresholds vary (1–3 thrips/leaf per Cornell/UMass; up to 30 per UC). Control: Multiple modes of action, increased spray volume, horticultural oils, azadirachtin, and soil treatments with fungi or nematodes. Other Notes & Events Field Days & Workshops: August 2: Field day at Grow Johnson County's Poor Farm, covering no-till vegetable research and a short food safety workshop (counts as an annual update for PSA-trained growers). Agrivoltaic field days in Ames: Ongoing research on crops grown under solar panels, with field days every other week through September. Podcast summary generated using perplexity.ai

Coach Chris interviews Thomas Henson, a personal injury attorney specializing in catastrophic injuries and avid cyclist, who shares critical insurance and safety information that can protect cyclists and all active individuals on the roads.We discuss: • Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) is vital but often overlooked insurance that protects you beyond just car accidents• UM/UIM coverage follows you when cycling, running, or even walking, and extends to family members in your household• North Carolina's minimum required auto insurance ($30,000) is often insufficient to cover medical expenses from even moderate injuries• Catastrophic cycling injuries can result in medical expenses reaching hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars• Detailed documentation after a cycling accident is crucial, including medical attention, police reports, witness information, and photographs• North Carolina's contributory negligence law means cyclists could recover nothing if found even 1% at fault for an accident• Safety practices like wearing helmets, using lights, and avoiding confrontational behavior protect you physically and legally• Keep detailed records of all cycling equipment purchases and upgrades to ensure proper valuation after an accident• GoPro cameras can provide valuable evidence in cycling accidents• Always seek proper medical attention after an accident, particularly for head injuries which should be evaluated by concussion specialists. Want more info?

Agro Forestrium Best Plants & Trees To Prevent Catastrophic Landslides Plus Strengthen Soil Structure Podcast Edition by Agro Forestrium StudioLandslides are a type of natural disaster that involve the downward movement of a mass of soil, rocks, and debris on a slope or hillside. They can occur in various forms, such as rockfalls, rockslides, mudslides, or debris flows, depending on the materials involved and the velocity of movement.Landslides are typically triggered by a combination of factors, including heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, erosion, changes in groundwater level, slope instability, or human activities such as construction and deforestation. These factors can weaken the stability of the slope, causing it to fail and result in the movement of materials downslope.The destructive power of landslides can be significant, as they can damage or destroy structures, roads, and infrastructure in their path. They can also lead to loss of life and cause severe environmental damage, particularly when they occur in populated areas or near water bodies.To mitigate the risks associated with landslides, various measures can be taken, including slope stabilization techniques, land-use planning to avoid vulnerable areas, early warning systems, and emergency preparedness. It is important for communities living in landslide-prone areas to be aware of the potential hazards and take appropriate precautions to minimize the impact of such events. Certain plants and trees can play a role in preventing landslides by stabilizing slopes and reducing soil erosion.

The globalists always telegraph their plans ahead of time, so it's important to pay close attention to what they are saying. In 2023, Bill Gates predicted the next global pandemic for 2025. In 2024, the National Blueprint for Biodefense predicted the pandemic would start on July 4, 2025, and would be highly deadly to people and animals. Globalists have also predicted that the Iranians would assassinate Trump. Curtis explains how such “predictions” are merely projections of what they hope to accomplish through False Flag events.

Hello.我是杰克。大家好。Hello,Jack. You're off on holiday tomorrow, aren't you?你好，杰克。你明天休假，是吗？I am and you know, and I'm dreading it. I hate flying!是的，你知道，我很害怕。我讨厌坐飞机！Do you? I didn't know you had a phobia- and that means a strong and unreasonable fear of something.是吗？我不知道你有恐惧症——就是对某种事物强烈而不合理的恐惧。Well,I don't think this is a phobia because it isn't unreasonable. Flying thousands of feet up in the sky, you know, that's not safe!嗯，我不认为这是恐惧症，因为它并非没有道理。你知道，在几干英尺的高空飞行很不安全Flying is safer than you think, Jack. It's much riskier to drive or cycle to work.And, actually, risk taking is the subject of today's show! Risk means the chances of something bad happening. For example, did you know that your chance of being knocked off your bicycle and killed during a one-mile journey is the same as your chances of winning the lotter乘飞机比你想象得要安全，杰克。开车或骑车上班风险更大。冒险！就是今天节目的主题！风险是指发生坏事的可能性。例如，你知道在一英里之内你骑自行车被撞到撞死的几率和你中彩票的几率是一样大的吗？I didn't know that.我不知道。Can you guess what are the chances of either of these two things happening?你能猜到这两种情况发生的概率是多少吗？I have no idea. One in a million?我不知道。一百万分之一吗？No,it's one in 14 million. You are as likely to win the national lottery from a single ticket as you are to be knocked off your bicycle and killed during a one-mile journey.不，是1千4百万分之一。你中全国彩票头奖的可能性就像一英里之内你骑自行车被撞倒撞死的可能性一样大。But why are we bad at assessing risk?但是为什么我们不善于评估风险呢？People typically fear anything which is small probability but it's extremely catastrophic if it were to happen...通常人们害怕的都是发生的可能性很小，但如果发生的话，将会是一场灾难的事情…….Recently we have another increase in these birds' virus outbreaks. People read about that. And they may pay a lot of attention to that in the news but they may forget to get their flu shot.最近这些鸟类病毒爆发事件又增加了。大家都知道这些。他们可能会在新闻中注意到这一点，但他们可能会忘记注射流感疫苗。That's right. We tend to worry about big or catastrophic events such as catching bird flu or dying in a plane crash because we react emotionally to them.对。我们倾向于担心重大或灾难性的事件，如感染禽流感或飞机失事伤亡，因为我们情绪上会对它们产生反应。Yeah.Catastrophic events feel like very real threats, while we tend to forget about the small but chronic risks that become more likely over time.是的。灾难性的事件感觉起来是非常真实的威胁，而我们往往会忘记那些随着时间的推移变得更有可能发生的，小而长期的风险。We do. So for example, what if there was a cigarette that killed you as soon as you smoked it? Nobody would do that, would they?是的。举个例子，如果有一根烟，你一抽完就会死，会出现什么样的情况？没有人会那样做，对不对?No,they wouldn't.对，没有人会那样做。But plenty of people are happy to smoke for years, and put off worrying about the health risks for the future.但是很多人很乐意吸烟很多年，并没有担心未来可能出现的健康风险。Yes,that's a good point, Jack! People feel they are in control of risks that stretch over time. You know, they think, "I could stop tomorrow" or"I could smoke less". But what about people who really enjoy taking big risks—those thrill seekers out there?是的，说得好，杰克！随着时间的推移，人们觉得他们能够控制住风险。你知道，他们会想，“我明天可以停下来”或者“我可以少抽烟”。但是那些真正喜欢冒险的人——那些寻求刺激的人呢？People who enjoy extreme sports actually seek out danger—it gives them extreme pleasure!喜欢极限运动的人实际上是在寻找危险，那给了他们极大的乐趣！If the risk is really high, it means that the pleasure needs to be equally high,or hopefully even higher—如果风险真的很高，那就意味着其中乐趣需要同样高，甚至更高.…..You're right.你说的对。Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.请根据对话2回答第6到10题。6.According to Alice, what is a phobia?问题6.根据爱丽丝的说法，什么是恐惧症？7.What are the chances of getting knocked off one's bicycle and killed in aone-mile journey?问题7.一英里之内骑自行车被撞倒撞死的可能性有多大？8.What kind of event do people tend to worry about?问题8.人们会担心什么样的事情？9.Which may involve a chronic risk?问题9.哪一项可能涉及慢性风险？10.Why do some people enjoy risks?问题10.为什么有些人喜欢冒险？

Formosa: Fulcrum of the Future?An invasion of Taiwan is uncomfortably likely and potentially catastrophic. We should research better ways to avoid it. TLDR: I forecast that an invasion of Taiwan increases all the anthropogenic risks by ~1.5% (percentage points) of a catastrophe killing 10% or more of the population by 2100 (nuclear risk by 0.9%, AI + Biorisk by 0.6%). This would imply it constitutes a sizable share of the total catastrophic risk burden expected over the rest of this century by skilled and knowledgeable forecasters (8% of the total risk of 20% according to domain experts and 17% of the total risk of 9% according to superforecasters). I think this means that we should research ways to cost-effectively decrease the likelihood that China invades Taiwan. This could mean exploring the prospect of advocating that Taiwan increase its deterrence by investing in cheap but lethal weapons platforms [...] ---Outline:(00:13) Formosa: Fulcrum of the Future?(02:04) Part 0: Background(03:44) Part 1: Invasion -- uncomfortably possible.(08:33) Part 2: Why an invasion would be bad(10:27) 2.1 War and nuclear war(19:20) 2.2. The end of cooperation: AI and Bio-risk(22:44) 2.3 Appeasement or capitulation and the end of the liberal-led order: Value risk(26:04) Part 3: How to prevent a war(29:39) 3.1.

It is impossible to overstate how hellish life in Gaza has been for the past 20 months.The death count is above 50,000 people — more than 15,000 of whom are children — and at least 1.9 million of Gaza's 2.1 million people have been displaced over and over again. Starvation is rampant. Hospitals are either damaged or closed; there are only 2,000 remaining hospital beds.Nearly two years after the atrocities of Oct. 7, Israel still has no plan for the day after the conflict ends. Instead, it is escalating its assault on what remains of Hamas and seizing territory to expand its security buffer zone. There are reports that the government is considering a plan that would herd the Gaza Strip's Palestinians into just a small fraction of the territory. In the West Bank, meanwhile, settler violence has increased sharply, and new settlements are moving forward at a record pace.Ehud Olmert, the prime minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009, recently published a searing opinion essay in Haaretz, one of Israel's most influential newspapers: “Enough Is Enough. Israel Is Committing War Crimes.” He joins me to discuss why he believes Israel's war in Gaza can no longer be justified, what he finds missing in Israel's current political leadership and why he has not yet given up hope for a two-state solution.Book Recommendations:The Gates of Gaza by Amir TibonThomas Jefferson by Jon MeachamAll or Nothing by Michael WolffWait Till Next Year by Doris Kearns GoodwinThoughts?
