“Machine learning over the last few years has become revolutionary. But we still need, and maybe even more so, the constraint and knowledge of rock physics and QI as an integral part of those workflows.” Stephan Gelinsky describes quantitative interpretation as the place “where science meets business impact.” That idea anchors this conversation with Stephan and Per Avseth, built around the May quantitative interpretation special section of The Leading Edge. Elastic FWI and machine learning are moving quickly into QI, but both guests argue that better algorithms make rock physics, geology, and judgment more important, not less. Per also points to a broader challenge. Some students are turning away from reservoir geophysics because they associate it with petroleum, even though the same science is needed for CCS, geothermal, critical minerals, natural hydrogen, and other subsurface problems tied to the energy transition. The question is not whether QI still matters. It is how the field keeps its physics, communicates uncertainty, and shows the next generation where that science can take them. Read May's The Leading Edge special section at https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/tle/issue/45/5. QUESTIONS THIS CONVERSATION ANSWERS > How are elastic FWI and machine learning changing the role of QI specialists? > What makes a QI result trustworthy enough to support a real decision? > Why does QI remain foundational to CCS, geothermal, critical minerals, and other energy-transition problems?

Two variants are offered — the Pro with a 39.8 kWh battery and 292 km WLTP range, and the ProMax with 53.0 kWh and 382 km — both with a 14.6-inch touchscreen, 8.8-inch cluster, Leap OS 4.0 Plus, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard Level 2 driver assistance using 14 sensors and cameras across 21 functions.VOLVO FACELIFTS XC40, EX40 AND EC40Volvo has given the XC40, EX40 and EC40 their first major styling revision in nearly nine years, with all-new bodywork ahead of the A-pillars and revised 'Thor's Hammer' matrix LED headlights that Volvo says cut glare, debuting on the model year 2028 XC40 now that matrix LEDs are legal in the United States. Powertrains are unchanged, but the cars gain an 11.2-inch touchscreen with Google Gemini voice assistance, plus added cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors supporting a smoother Pilot Assist with lane-change assist, a 3-D 360-degree camera view and an occupant alert for approaching cyclists before doors open.VOLKSWAGEN PLANS IQ.DRIVE UPDATE TO ID. BUZZVolkswagen will upgrade IQ.DRIVE functions on 2027 MEB vehicles, with the ID. Buzz receiving the fullest package including Road Experience Management, and Enhanced Travel Assist that can execute a driver-requested lane change above 45 mph using rear radar, waiting up to 12 seconds if traffic blocks the move while the driver stays responsible. The 2027 Buzz also reacts faster to posted speed-limit changes, notifying the driver before adjusting speed, slows near ramps and exits using navigation or turn-signal input, and uses crowd-sourced map data to supplement cameras where road markings are faded or weather is poor, bundled into In-Vehicle Premium with a one-year trial.NISSAN LEAF S IS CANADA'S LOWEST-PRICED EVThe 2027 Nissan Leaf S is Canada's cheapest electric vehicle at CA$34,998 (about US$25,250), nearly CA$2,000 below the Kia EV3 Light FWD and under CA$30,000 once the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program is applied. It uses a 53 kWh battery, a single 174 hp motor and up to 341 km of range, trailing the EV3 Light's 58.3 kWh, 201 hp and 356 km, and charging 10-80% in about 35 minutes against the Kia's 29, though both use an NACS port.JLR INVESTS £356 MILLION IN WOLVERHAMPTON EV PRODUCTIONJLR has spent £356m converting its Wolverhampton propulsion plant, renamed the Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in 2024, to build electric drive units and assemble battery packs while continuing six-cylinder Ingenium engine production, giving it flexibility to flex output as the EV transition moves. The hall now making drive units for the Range Rover Electric, Range Rover GT, Jaguar Type 01 and smaller Defender 'Sport' previously built four-cylinder diesels on repurposed CNC machines, working to 80-micron tolerances against roughly 120 for combustion engines, with cells currently sourced from AESC in China and due to switch next year to Tata's Agratas plant in Somerset.EVGO OPENS 20-PLUG LOS ANGELES FAST-CHARGING STATIONEVgo has opened what it calls the largest non-Tesla fast-charging station in the City of Los Angeles, a 10-stall, 20-plug site on S Robertson Blvd in Mid-City just off the Santa Monica Freeway. The site has two 100 kW stalls, three 200 kW and five 350 kW, with 18 CCS cables capable of up to 350 kW and two CHAdeMO ports at up to 100 kW that keep older EVs served, though there are no NACS cables and NACS vehicles must use adapters.SKODA APPROVES NEW KAROQ FOR 2027 OR 2028Skoda chief executive Klaus Zellmer has approved a second-generation Karoq for launch in 2027 or 2028 on the Volkswagen Group MQB platform, reversing a plan under which the electric Elroq — itself a late addition to the range and now Europe's second best-selling electric car — was to have taken the Karoq's place. Zellmer said powertrains will be very comparable to the Kodiaq's and pointed to strong plug-in hybrid demand and a 100 km-plus electric range as ideal for the model, though a PHEV remains possible rather than confirmed.PENNDOT OPENS $11 MILLION CHARGER FUNDING ROUNDPennDOT has opened an $11 million round for EV charging infrastructure across 26 central Pennsylvania counties, with publicly accessible sites able to apply until 12 March 2027 under the third phase of the state's federally backed Community Charging scheme, which allocated $100 million in NEVI money from February to extend charging beyond Alternative Fuel Corridors. Local transportation planning agencies, not PennDOT, will set location priorities; the state says 50 NEVI-funded hubs have opened with 41 more planned or under construction, delivering over 146,000 charging sessions since December 2023 and avoiding more than 3,700 tonnes of CO2.TESLA CEO PROMOTES VIDEO OF DRIVER SAYING FSD IS 'EYES OFF'Elon Musk endorsed, with a heart emoji, a clip of Larry, a 98-year-old Model Y owner in Farmington, New Mexico, who says of FSD (Supervised) that he did not have to look at an intersection and does not want to, directly contradicting Tesla's disclaimer that the feature requires active driver supervision and does not make the car autonomous. The framing matters because Tesla's defence in Autopilot and FSD crash litigation rests on driver responsibility — a Florida jury already returned a $243 million judgment against the company, with up to $14.5 billion at stake across roughly two dozen cases — even as its lawyers have separately argued, successfully, that Musk's public statements should not be taken at face value.
This week, geopolitics became the centre ground of the energy debate as an Israeli minister backed Argentina over Falklands oil claims. Closer to home, Scotland's first clean technology manufacturing facility dedicated to electrolyser assembly and integration announced it will be established in Aberdeen. What does this all mean? Well, E-FWD editor took on the challenge of dissecting geopolitics, while renewable reporter Michael Behr discussed the state of play for project funding across the sector in Scotland. Meanwhile, North of England correspondent Floyd March tells us of his adventures to the Point of Ayr gas terminal - the beating heart of the HyNet carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.

CDI, coding, and clinical medicine are involved in a tug-of-war over a complex, life-threatening medical emergency that seems resistant to all forms of consensus. I'm talking about sepsis of course, and on today's show I got to talk about sepsis with someone as qualified as anyone in the world to do so. Steven Simpson, MD, is Professor of Medicine at the University of Kansas in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. He has done research in all areas of severe sepsis, from molecular and cellular mechanisms to translational and quality improvement studies. He is currently chair of the board of directors for the Sepsis Alliance and an author of the 2016, 2021, and 2025 reviews and updates of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines. I'm also joined by James Kennedy, MD, CCS, a familiar name and voice for anyone involved in CDI and coding circles. Listen in as we cover: Dr. Simpson's deep and rich background in sepsis, including early clinical days with septic patients, working with Drs. Bone and Balk who created Sepsis-1, and his role on the Sepsis Alliance. Co-authoring the 2026 Surviving Sepsis Guideline that defines sepsis as a “life-threatening acute organ dysfunction to infection”: His stance on sepsis-2 and sepsis-3. The politics of definition and diagnosis: Who gets to write these definitions. The struggle: Reconciling sepsis-2 with sepsis-3, further complicated by CMS' use of sepsis-2 in its new sepsis readmission measure. What's the right answer for this, if there is one? Looming sepsis proposal to create codes for “impending sepsis,” the role of AI-technologies (e.g., Sepsis ImmunoScore, TriVerity) in identifying these patients, and what the University of Kansas is doing to identify and intervene on infected patients before they evolve into organ dysfunctions. Plans for future work for other sepsis-related concepts, payers and denials, and a pair of songs for the Off the Record Spotify playlist.

A confession from someone who works on power grid connections for large emitters, and who has watched low-level regulators quietly close off the routes that new gas plants need to connect unless they include CCS.No announcement, no press release. Just minor changes to grid codes and guidances until the business case for a plant without carbon capture stopped existing.They call themselves a termite.Before the submission I get into James C. Scott and why we assume corporations rather than governments are the place climate action has to start. Also Estonia, and what it says about us that we cut an agency's funding and then point at how badly it works.Send your own anonymous confession here.Climate Workers Anonymous is curated by Ross Kenyon.

In Sluiskil is maandag 7 september het eerste grensoverschrijdende CCS-project ter wereld feestelijk geopend. Vijftien jaar lang gaat het Noorse kunstmestbedrijf Yara jaarlijks maximaal 800.000 ton CO2 opslaan. Niet in Nederland maar ... in Noorwegen. Wat waren de grootste uitdagingen? En kan CO2-opslag financieel wel uit? Oftewel: is er toekomst van CCS in Europa? Ik vraag het Gijsbrecht Gunter, een van de directieleden van Yara Sluiskil. Hij was eerder te gast bij de aankondiging van het project, in 2023: https://soundcloud.com/studio-energie/gijsbrecht-gunter-yara-over-het-eerste-grensoverschrijdende-co2-opslag-project-ter-wereld

Show Notes Should an acute lower-extremity DVT automatically stop mobility when anticoagulation is subtherapeutic? In this episode, Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Nicole Neveau speak with Aubrey Little, PT, DPT, CCS, and Becky Johnson, PT, DPT, PhD, about the clinical question that grew from a quality-improvement project into a case-control study published in the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy. Little and Johnson explain why a single laboratory value or protocol checkpoint cannot replace a comprehensive assessment. They discuss weighing the risks of immobility against potential adverse events while considering clot location, medical acuity, hemodynamic status, medications, laboratory trends, discharge pressures and the patient's overall trajectory. The conversation also explores the documentation needed to make clinical reasoning visible and the value of bidirectional conversations with the interdisciplinary team. The study included 30 patients and 60 physical therapy sessions. Its findings do not establish that mobilization at subtherapeutic anticoagulation is universally safe. The researchers emphasize the limitations of a small retrospective sample and their inability to determine whether pulmonary embolism occurred. Instead, the episode offers a thoughtful look at risk stratification, evidence-informed judgment and how clinicians can question automatic holds without abandoning patient safety.

Today's Guests: Aubrey Little PT, DPT aulittle@gmail.com Becky Johnson PT, DPT, PhD rjohns1@midwestern.edu https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-johnson-pt-dpt-phd-619244112/ Guest Quotes: 10:07 Aubrey “ I think that’s the intention of this paper is to really think about the patient more holistically as opposed to basing clinical decision-making off of one data point or one factor.” 13:09 Aubrey “ if somebody is working in an outpatient clinic, maybe they just had a knee replacement or a hip replacement and their suspicion for an acute DVT. Does that mean that we are going to, in the moment, suggest this person is fully immobilized, call the ambulance, call the stretcher- … you cannot walk on this limb until you make it to the hospital.” 19:18 Becky “ And so when we look at the adverse events that did occur, in retrospect we’re questioning, was that an adverse event? I think if you were the clinician treating the patient, you would’ve said no. But it did meet our criteria for that.” Rapid Responses: Do either one of you guys know what your theme song would be if you got to have a theme song every time you walked into the room at the hospital? Aubrey:” I would say September by Earth, Wind & Fire just ’cause that song immediately makes me dance.” Becky: “ Maybe the songs like, Look Who’s, Guess Who’s Back Again. Eminem. You know you’re an acute care or an ICU provider when… Aubrey: “You ask yourself, “Is one month too short to buy a new pair of shoes for work?” Becky: “ When you’ve got at least 8,000 steps by the time you get done with your shift.” Links: Incidence of Adverse Events When Mobilizing Patients With Acute Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis at Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation Level: A Case–Control Study

Pic of CCS plant in MississippiNina Robertson, Ileana Navarro, Thom Hersbach On today's show, carbon capture and storage for California? That is the question. I'll speak to Ileana Navarro policy associate with the Central California Environmental Justice Network, Stanford University Woods Institute for the Environment policy fellow and scientist Thom Hersbach and Nina Robertson, deputy managing attorney for Earthjustice to get some answers. Response from California Air Resource Board (CARB)'s Lindsay Buckley: “California's ambitious climate goals require both significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and growth of carbon sequestration. To help meet this charge, CARB staff initiated work on the Senate Bill 905 rulemaking last year which requires the agency to create the Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Program to evaluate, demonstrate, and regulate CCUS and carbon dioxide. The proposed regulations are expected to be considered by the Board before the end of the year as part of a transparent public engagement process. CARB remains committed to carrying out the objectives of the law which includes balancing environmental, public health and economic considerations as the state moves towards carbon neutrality.” Agency Meeting Info in Sacramento: ww2.arb.ca.gov Further Reading about CCS: Policy Brief by T.

"I wish people understood that the pace of change across this region is not gradual anymore. It's moving very quickly and in many cases faster than traditional global markets expect." Conflicts and disrupted energy flows have put energy security back at the center of the conversation, and Yogaani Bhatia is seeing what that means for geophysics across the Middle East and beyond. Exploration is gaining renewed attention, Saudi Arabia is building out a major mining sector, and countries such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are investing in geological knowledge and new resource development. Behind all of it is the same need: understand the subsurface well enough to make better decisions. And as investment accelerates, the challenge is not simply having better technology. It is having the people who know how to use it. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Energy security is making subsurface knowledge strategic again: Pressure on energy flows is reinforcing the need for secure, diversified resources. Exploration is increasingly viewed not only as a commercial activity, but as a strategic capability tied to long-term energy and resource security. > Some of the fastest change is happening across the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and Asia Pacific: Saudi Arabia is expanding mining, Central Asia is investing in geological knowledge, Africa is seeing renewed frontier exploration, and Asia Pacific is advancing offshore energy, CCS, and geothermal. > Energy and minerals draw on many of the same geophysics skills: Imaging, interpretation, data integration, and other subsurface expertise developed in oil and gas are increasingly crossing into mining, critical minerals, geothermal, and carbon storage. > Better technology still depends on people who know how to use it: The AI and digital conversation is shifting from whether the tools have value to how they improve workflows and decisions, while organizations also face a growing need to develop talent and transfer knowledge.

Electric cars nearly doubled their market penetration from 3.3% a year earlier as traditional petrol and diesel vehicles continued to dominate with 86.7% of transactions.USED EV VALUES RISE 1.6% IN JULY, FOURTH STRAIGHT MONTHLY GAINThree-year-old battery electric vehicles in the UK gained 1.6% in value during July, marking their fourth consecutive month of growth since March and a cumulative 7% increase of roughly £1,500 per car. Fleet EVs like the Peugeot 208 Electric, Mercedes EQB, VW ID.4, and Tesla Model Y now sell within 14 days, positioning them as the fastest-selling used cars in the market.AUSTRALIAN EV SALES DOUBLE AS PETROL HITS $2.53 A LITREElectric vehicle sales in Australia more than doubled in the second quarter of 2026 as unleaded petrol reached a record $2.53 per litre, making up one in five new cars sold. Market share for fully electric vehicles climbed from 12.25% to over 21% in the first half of 2026, driven primarily by fuel prices rather than policy.EVGO OPENS 350KW FLAGSHIP CHARGING SITE IN DETROIT WITH MEIJER AND GMEVgo opened a 350kW flagship charging station in Detroit with 12 CCS and NACS stalls beneath a canopy, capable of delivering a full charge in as little as 15 minutes and accommodating vehicles towing trailers through pull-through access. The site represents EVgo's vision for charging infrastructure, with the company expecting more than 100 flagship locations online by the end of 2026 after building nearly 2,400 stalls nationwide with GM's backing.GERMAN INSURER REPORTS 12% OF PRIVATE CAR SWITCHES GO ELECTRICGerman insurer HUK Coburg reported that 12% of private vehicle changes switched to battery-electric cars in the second quarter of 2026, more than double the pre-war rate of 6.3%, with 24% of licence holders citing fuel prices since the Iran conflict as motivation. Germany registered 368,000 new BEVs in the first half of 2026 (48% more than 2025) for a 24.8% market share, while Tesla's share among switchers jumped from 5.6% to 12.2% and German brands lost ground except in the used market.SAMSUNG SDI BUYS GM'S 49.99% STAKE IN INDIANA BATTERY VENTURESamsung SDI has acquired General Motors' 49.99% stake in SynergyCells, the Indiana battery venture formed in 2024, citing slower-than-expected EV demand and pivoting the plant to produce cells and modules for energy storage systems rather than GM vehicles. The $3.5 billion venture will still open in 2026, though Samsung SDI and GM have signed a separate agreement to develop next-generation prismatic cells together for possible future EVs.TOKYO RAISES EV SUBSIDY TO 1.3 MILLION YEN PER VEHICLETokyo's metropolitan government raised its electric vehicle subsidy to 1.3 million yen per vehicle with no purchase limit, stackable with national incentives and bonuses for vehicle-to-load capability, charging equipment installation, renewable energy, and solar power usage. The scheme grades manufacturers by subsidy level—Toyota, Nissan, and Honda receive 400,000 yen while BYD receives only 100,000 yen in Tokyo—allowing buyers to potentially pay as little as 2.2 million yen for a 4.8 million yen Toyota bZ4X after stacking both subsidy tiers.FORMULA E SPLITS INTO TWO RACE FORMATS FROM 2026/27From the 2026/27 season, Formula E will run two distinct race formats: the E-Prix Unleashed as a 30-minute sprint with high downforce and no mandatory pit stop, and the conventional E-Prix as a 45-minute race with low-downforce aerodynamics and compulsory pit stops. The split reflects the capabilities of the new GEN4 car, which features permanent all-wheel drive, up to 600kW output, and 0-62 mph acceleration in roughly 1.8 seconds.V ENGINEERING BUILDS 12.4KWH REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR MCLAREN P1V Engineering, a McLaren specialist based in Berkshire, has developed Project Continuum, a replacement high-voltage hybrid battery for the P1 that stores 12.4kWh compared to the original 4.72kWh while weighing 23kg less and requiring no rewiring. Customer installations will begin in spring 2027 for cars across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, addressing the 2010-era battery's deterioration after approaching 16 years in service.

Energy Sector Heroes ~ Careers in Oil & Gas, Sustainability & Renewable Energy
The energy sector is changing, but one thing hasn't changed: there are still opportunities for people who are willing to adapt, keep learning and build strong professional relationships. Whether you're just starting your career, already working in the industry, or developing new technology, this episode explores how well construction is evolving, why innovation matters, and what skills will help you build a long term career.This week I'm joined by Tristam Horn, CEO of Centrset. We discuss his journey from graduate drilling engineer at BP to leading a technology startup focused on solving challenges in well construction. We also talk about the future of drilling, carbon capture and storage (CCS), entrepreneurship, business development, and why authenticity is one of the most valuable qualities you can bring to your career.
Singapore's Competition and Consumer Commission — CCS — has been enforcing competition law for roughly two decades and more recently consumer protection laws as well. How does a small, open, trade-dependent city-state design and enforce a competition regime that punches above its weight — and what does that mean for global practitioners? Mr. Loke Shiu Meng, Assistant Chief Executive of the CCS overseeing Legal, Enforcement, and Consumer Protection, joins Subrata Bhattacharjee and Anora Wang to discuss Singapore's enforcement arc, its voluntary merger regime, the agency's push against dark patterns and unfair trade practices, and how CCS navigates its role as a neutral hub in an increasingly fractured geopolitical landscape.

Description: Bodie is joined by Tom Appel, publisher of Consumer Guide and co-host of the Car Stuff Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation about reviewing cars, buying them, and where the EV market is headed. Tom shares his experience driving the Lucid Gravity, including what impressed him and the software glitches that made an otherwise compelling luxury EV difficult to recommend without reservations. The conversation turns to what new cars actually cost today, increasingly long auto loans, and the things Tom and his daughter learned while shopping for a new compact crossover. They also talk about unusual option packaging, three-cylinder engines, Volkswagen diesels, the rise and fall of enthusiasm around the Ford F-150 Lightning, and how quickly consumer expectations can change. Tom and Bodie get into vehicle safety and airbags, including how difficult it can be to design around every possible type of crash or rare safety incident. Finally, they discuss the EV industry's transition from CCS to NACS charging and whether another change in charging standards could add confusion for buyers already hesitant about making the switch to electric.

Use mathematics to figure out how many sets a day you need to make your quota, and make sure you have your quota present, visible everywhere in your community, in your ashram, so people can see the number. Because you can't hit a target you can't see, and we don't want to do any guesswork. If you need to know anything more, contact us, and we'll give you the numbers that you need to hit. (info@bbtbooks.com) We set the goals for what it makes of us to achieve them. Could be any goal, but we have looked at this 100,008 goal for over five years, and now the time has come. We want to make a stand. We want to show that it's Lord Caitanya's time in this universe, not the materialists who are promoting the idea that there is no God. We want to counteract that, and we want to smash Kali-yuga. It's very practical to distribute literature because nobody can take it back once the book goes out there. Let's do damage to Kali-yuga by getting out the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, so it's everywhere, and people who run into it end up changing their lives and their trajectory in life, in going back home, back to Godhead. This was Prabhupāda's vision. We can enter deeply within it and take it up as our own, and in that way, we'll be following in his footsteps and the footsteps of the great ācāryas, and that is the way to make advancement. śuśrūṣoḥ śraddadhānasya vāsudeva-kathā-ruciḥ syān mahat-sevayā viprāḥ puṇya-tīrtha-niṣevaṇāt (SB 1.2.16) It's great service. If we take it up and have something tangible to offer to Śrīla Prabhupāda, then I guarantee you, all of us will be dancing in ecstasy together in a kīrtana to celebrate the fact that we did something together that is unassailable, that is perfectly aligned, and that it will bring joy to the heart of Śrīla Prabhupāda. He promised the devotees who had worked on the Caitanya-caritāmṛta marathon to produce the entire set of Ccs within a couple of months that they would go back to Godhead. He promised them in writing, and he said at the end, he guaranteed they would. So we could leave at any minute. There's no guarantee we're going to live for five more seconds. Let's put our energy into this and astound the world and astound ourselves by hitting this goal, smashing 100,008. Every set counts. It's never too late. Even the last day makes a difference. But start now. Lean into it. Talk about it. Advocate for it, and keep the number visible!

While Dan is away on his Honeymoon, we have Chloe & Tim diving into the wonderful world of Child Care Subsidies (CCS) — because apparently raising children wasn't expensive enough already. They unpack how CCS is actually calculated, why your income might not be what Centrelink thinks it is, and how things like salary packaging, fringe benefits, extra super, and investment property losses can affect your subsidy. The pair also tackle the big question many parents ask themselves: "Is it even worth going back to work?" when childcare costs, tax, and daycare sickness seem determined to eat every extra dollar you earn. Plus, they throw around a few ideas on how to fix the system, including whether childcare should simply be tax deductible. This is one not to be missed!
Host: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO, Industrial Connect Group LtdGuest: Grant Budge, CEO, PeroCycleEurope spent somewhere between eight and ten billion euros on hydrogen and CCS projects over the last decade. Grant Budge's rough calculation is that the same capital, deployed into carbon capture and utilisation, could have been removing three to six million tonnes of CO2 per year by now. Instead, we have a handful of projects that never crossed the line and an industry still arguing about infrastructure that doesn't exist. Grant was there for CCS v1.0. He knows why it stalled, and he has a clear view on what we keep getting wrong, as well as what could help drive the right capital to the right tech. PeroCycle is CEO of a team converting CO2 into carbon monoxide on site, no pipeline, no offsite infrastructure, negative cost of carbon abatement on a DRI steel plant at current European energy prices. That's the claim. In this episode, Grant walks through how they got there, what could still break it, and why the deeper problem in industrial decarbonization isn't the technology at all.Key Takeaways1. Why large corporate balance sheets have been part of the problem, not the solution. The assumption that big companies with big balance sheets would lead deployment shaped a decade of policy. Grant explains why that logic kept failing, and what it meant for the technologies that got backed as a result.2. The real reason hydrogen and CCS absorbed so much capital for so little output. It wasn't just bad technology choices. Grant traces it back to how the direction was set in the first place, and who was driving that conversation.3. What a global database of validated decarbonization technologies would actually change. Right now, an industrial company trying to compare options has no independent source to go to. Grant makes the case for why that gap exists, who could fill it, and what it would have meant if it had existed ten years ago.4. How PeroCycle moved from a cost of plus $50-60 per tonne of CO2 abated to minus $80. The engineering decisions behind that shift, and what they tell you about where most tech developers are leaving value on the table.5. The stage gate that will make or break the business case. Scaling to the steel sector means a first-of-kind plant costing $250-300 million for a pre-revenue startup. Grant explains the strategy for getting there without that number killing the story with investors.6. Why nickel and glass might matter more to PeroCycle right now than steel. The biggest market isn't always the right first market. Grant's thinking on this is worth hearing by anyone building deep tech for heavy industry.7. What investors actually want to see from industrial tech companies at TRL 4-5. Grant has been on both sides of this conversation. His read on what separates companies that keep the conversation alive from those that get screened out early is direct and practical.Links: · Follow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect· Connect with Grant Budge, CEO, PeroCycle· Find out more about Perocycle and its projects· Join Alex and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025)· Sign up for our newsletter Want to learn more about Decarb Connect?We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.

Show Notes When does teamwork strengthen patient care—and when can it unintentionally limit it? In this episode of Acute Conversations, hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Daniel Young welcome Haley Bento, PT, DPT, CCS; Harley Kvenvold, occupational therapist; Dr. Kathryn Brito, PT, DPT, CCS; and Brian Hull, PT, DPT, MBA, BCHE, to revisit PT and OT co-treatment in acute care. Building on a previous listener-favorite episode and their newly published clinical perspective, the panel examines why routine co-treatment remains common and how clinicians can move toward more intentional, patient-specific decision-making. The conversation explores how co-treatment can affect therapy intensity, access to care and professional identity—particularly when occupational therapy is reduced to an extra set of hands rather than recognized for its distinct expertise. The guests also address the real-world factors that shape practice, including clinician confidence, limited support staff, productivity pressures, discharge demands and hospital culture. Listeners will hear practical strategies for distinguishing a true need for two skilled disciplines from a need for brief physical assistance, strengthening ICU competency and mentorship, documenting clinical reasoning, and reassessing the need for co-treatment during every session. The goal is not to eliminate co-treatment or shame clinicians who use it. It is to create a meaningful shift toward thoughtful collaboration that protects each profession's unique value and better serves patients. Today's Guests: Haley Bento PT, DPT, CCS Haley.bento@utah.edu IG: @utahcardioptresidency; @utahacuteptresidency Brian Hull PT, DPT, MBA, BCHE brian.hull@bswhealth.org www.linkedin.com/in/BrianHulldptmba Harley Kvenvold, OT harley.kvenvold@utah.edu www.linkedin.com/in/harley-kvenvold-4309211a9 Kathryn Brito PT, DPT, CCS IG: @kathrynbrito kathryn.brito@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-brito-pt-dpt-ccs-69135993/ Guest Quotes: 5:53 Katie “ Putting out this article was important to start those conversations, and I think so far we’ve been pretty successful with that because there really was nothing in the literature talking about co-treatment between OT and PT in the acute care setting.” 15:22 Harley “ I think the main issue is the kind of diluting what an occupational therapist can do for a patient, particularly in an acute setting.” 17:53 Haley “ There are plenty of times where I need help. That does not mean I need an occupational therapist. They’re not my helper, right? So really trying to differentiate I need help versus I need an occupational therapist- and their specific skills in this scenario.” 22:28 Brian “ The one thing that, that we do is we ask people to try to limit co-treats or co-evals to about eight per month, so a couple per week…and really think through when is it actually beneficial for the patient to have only one treatment for that day that combines the expertise, that does not risk it of being, of homogenizing The expertise of PT and OT that can somehow preserve it both.” 43:27 Katie “ The point of this perspective piece and this episode is to start a conversation and allow people to reflect and really critically think through why they’re doing things in order to benefit the patient or optimize what we’re doing for the patient. I don’t want people to listen to this episode and walk away from this thinking, “Oh, I’m not a good acute care therapist because I do X, Y, and Z.” That’s not the point… don’t come down on yourself, but take away from this paper and this episode an opportunity to reflect on your practice and try to make small s- to even take small steps of asking and having those conversations with your colleagues.” Rapid Responses: Haley, what’s the best thing about living in Salt Lake City? Ooh, the best thing about living in Salt Lake is the mountain access. People in other parts of the country like to say that they’re close to the mountains, but I can literally run or bike from my house and be on some world-class trails. So that’s the best part is the trail access. Harley, name a movie that you could quote endlessly. The Princess Diaries. You know you’re an acute care therapist when… Katie- “Fridays are your least favorite day of the week- … ’cause it’s discharge day.” Brian- “ I’d say when you’re familiar with cortisol, and plenty of it, nonstop.” Links: https://journals.lww.com/jacpt/fulltext/2026/04000/a_clinical_perspective_on_the_value_of_reducing.1.aspx

What if you could uncover hidden risks, assess facility conditions more accurately, and make smarter maintenance decisions—without disrupting operations?In an industry where safety, reliability, and uptime are critical, understanding the true condition of your facility can be challenging. Many grain facilities contain hard-to-access areas, aging infrastructure, and hidden structural conditions that are difficult to evaluate through traditional inspection methods alone. Yet waiting until problems become visible can lead to increased repair costs, unplanned downtime, and greater operational risk.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training for the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS), sits down with Hayes Guillot, Inspection and Technology Specialist with Custom Concrete Specialists, to explore how modern inspection technologies are transforming the way grain facilities evaluate, maintain, and protect their assets.Drawing on his background in precision agriculture, drone technology, and facility inspections, Hayes explains how today's tools are providing facility owners and operators with unprecedented visibility into the condition of their structures. From interior and exterior drone inspections to ground penetrating radar (GPR), thermal imaging, and LiDAR technology, these solutions allow organizations to safely inspect areas that were once difficult, time-consuming, or costly to assess.Throughout the conversation, Hayes shares how technology is helping facilities identify potential issues earlier, reduce the need for confined-space entry, improve documentation, support data-driven decision-making, and establish a proactive approach to maintenance and capital planning. He also discusses how detailed reports, high-resolution imagery, video documentation, and advanced scanning technologies are helping maintenance teams, managers, engineers, and boards make more informed decisions with greater confidence.Whether you're responsible for operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, asset management, or strategic planning, this episode offers practical insights into how modern inspection technology is helping organizations move beyond reactive repairs and toward a safer, smarter, and more proactive future.Important LinksCustom Concrete Specialists https://www.ccsgrouponline.com/Previous Whole Grain Podcast Episode Featuring Cheyenne Wohlford, CEO & President of Custom Concrete Specialists Innovations in Grain Silo Maintenance: Drone Inspection Services https://www.geaps.com/news-publications/whole-grain-podcast/innovations-in-grain-silo-maintenance-drone-inspection-services-2/GEAPS Website https://www.geaps.com/GEAPS Credentialing Program https://www.geaps.com/training-education/credentials/Whole Grain Podcast https://www.geaps.com/wholegrainGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Host: Andy Shiles, Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Madison Lackey Published: June 11, 2026 Length: 46:08 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Breaking into international trade can feel overwhelming, especially at a time when tariffs, enforcement, AI, and shifting regulations are changing the industry almost daily. In this episode of Simply Trade, Andy Shiles and Lalo Solorzano welcome Madison Lackey back to the show to discuss what it is really like to enter the trade compliance field as a young professional. Madison shares her path from studying agriculture business at Cal Poly to earning her customs broker license and becoming a trade compliance consultant at Blue Tiger International. She offers honest insight into the pressure new graduates face, the importance of slowing down before choosing a job, and why certifications, conferences, networking, and mentorship can make a major difference. The conversation also explores foreign trade zones, the growing knowledge gap as experienced professionals retire, and why young people have a major opportunity to step into the industry now. For students, early-career professionals, and managers building the next generation of trade talent, this episode offers practical advice and a fresh perspective. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on career development in international trade compliance, especially for younger professionals entering the field. Madison Lackey discusses how her education, broker license, certifications, conference networking, and willingness to take on uncomfortable opportunities helped her build momentum early in her career. The discussion also highlights the current complexity of trade compliance, including tariffs, CBP enforcement, foreign trade zones, AI, and the retirement of experienced professionals. Madison emphasizes that this is a challenging but promising time to enter the industry because companies need people who can research, ask questions, build relationships, and adapt quickly. Key Takeaways • The customs broker license and CCS certification can provide a strong foundation, even for professionals who do not plan to work as brokers. • Young professionals should look beyond job titles and salary to understand company culture, responsibility, mentorship, and growth opportunities. • Conferences, webinars, certifications, and networking can help build credibility and open career doors. • Foreign trade zones are becoming more relevant as companies look for legal ways to manage duty and tariff exposure. • Relationship-building with CBP, agencies, colleagues, and mentors is essential in a fast-changing compliance environment. • Managers should challenge newer employees with meaningful work, not busy work, so they can build real-world skills.

This week, our guest is the Honourable Brian Jean, Alberta's Minister of Energy and Minerals. The conversation was recorded at an ARC Financial event in Calgary on June 9. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has underscored the importance of energy security and supply diversity. This, along with more supportive federal policies, is raising expectations for growth in Alberta's oil and gas sector. On the podcast this week, Jackie asks Minister Jean about Alberta's opportunity to expand oil and gas production, including: Is the Strait of Hormuz closure and the Iran war reshaping how people view Canadian energy? What is Alberta's goal for oil production growth, and what changes, regulatory and otherwise, are supporting that goal? How does Alberta benefit from the build-out of LNG export capacity on the West Coast? The Canada–Alberta MOU outlines a plan to submit a 1 MMB/d oil pipeline to reach Asian markets to the Major Projects Office, with the aim of starting the regulatory review by early July. What is its status, and does the decision on the large oil sands CCS project affect the path forward? Are discussions underway with BC on the pipeline and with local communities, including Indigenous groups? And what are Alberta's opportunities in mineral production and, potentially, processing?

Host: Lalo Solorzano, Andy Shiles Guest(s): Ashley Arnold Published: June 4, 2026 Length: Approximately 33 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Trade compliance has changed dramatically, and this episode digs into why importers, exporters, executives, and compliance professionals can no longer treat it as a back-office task. Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome Ashley Arnold, licensed customs broker, CCS, and founder of JEM Consulting, for a timely conversation on the evolving role of trade professionals in today's regulatory environment. Ashley explains how trade compliance now touches sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, purchasing, customer service, and executive strategy. With shifting tariffs, increased Customs scrutiny, ACE reporting, USMCA claims, duty mitigation opportunities, automation, and documentation challenges all demanding attention, the old “we've always done it this way” mindset is no longer enough. The discussion highlights why companies need stronger internal collaboration, better systems, proactive monitoring, and more visibility into what Customs sees in real time. For executives, this episode is a reminder that compliance teams need resources, support, and a seat at the table. For trade professionals, it is a call to stay informed, ask questions, build relationships across departments, and keep pushing for smarter processes. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on the expanding role of trade compliance professionals and why companies must rethink how they support compliance, logistics, and supply chain teams. Ashley Arnold explains that compliance work is no longer limited to classification, entry review, or post-entry audits. Today's trade professionals are monitoring court cases, tariff updates, government notices, ACE reports, Customs requests, free trade agreement documentation, software workflows, and automation opportunities. The conversation also emphasizes that compliance must be involved earlier in the business process. Purchasing, sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, and leadership all need to work together to prevent problems before shipments are delayed, costs increase, or Customs issues arise. Key Takeaways • Trade compliance now belongs in strategic planning, not just operations. • Importers should have ACE access, run reports, and monitor Customs activity directly. • USMCA, duty drawback, exclusions, tariff engineering, and free trade agreement claims require strong documentation and audit readiness. • Automation and software can reduce manual work, but qualified trade professionals still need to review and validate decisions. • Compliance teams must build relationships with IT, accounting, sourcing, logistics, purchasing, and customer service. • Executives should ask whether their compliance teams have the tools, people, and cooperation they need. • The phrase “we've always done it this way” is a warning sign in today's trade environment.

This country does a decent job in our primary schools working with children and young adults with special needs. Certainly many improvements have been made in the last 40-50 years. But once neurodivergent kids become adults, that support seems to vanish. Tami Gomez stepped into this large breach by launching the UC Davis Neurodiversity Coding Internship Program. This new program creates professional pathways for neurodivergent individuals by offering hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world exposure to healthcare operations, specifically in inpatient medical coding. I'm thrilled to get her back on the program to talk about this, her greatly expanded role as Executive Director, Mid Rev Cycle, HIM, Coding, CDI Programs, & Revenue Integrity, and a cutting-edge new initiative she spearheaded that's already making a big financial impact. Listen in as we discuss: Origins of UC Davis Neurodiversity Coding Internship Program: Tami's own story of neurodivergence Getting started—funding, early struggles and sticking points, partnership with UCLA The curriculum and beyond: What are they learning, thanks to generous donations from HCPro/AHIMA, and not just education—taking students all the way through CCS credentialing and job placement Reception from attendees and the industry at large What makes neurodivergent people uniquely able to code, and their real struggles interviewing and entering the workforce Tami's new busy day job as Executive Director, Mid Rev Cycle. HIM, Coding, CDI Programs, & Revenue Integrity at UC Davis Health. New Initiative: High-Pay Huddles and its financial impact Increasingly tech-enabled coding and CDI professions—are we in danger of losing them to AI? Updates on her personal life as a party planner, why her colleague Penny Jefferson rocks so much, and a new song for the #OTR Spotify Playlist...

Show Notes Pediatric vital signs are more than numbers on a monitor — they are part of a larger clinical picture that includes development, physiology, behavior, medical complexity and careful observation. In this episode of Acute Conversations, host Dr. Leo Arguelles is joined by Ashley Parish, PT, DPT, PhD, CRT, CCS, and Dawn Drumm, PT, DHSc, two contributors to the new Pediatric Vital Signs Guide. Together, they discuss how the resource came to life, why collaboration across APTA Acute Care, the Academy of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy, and pediatric clinicians was essential, and how the guide can support therapists across settings. Ashley and Dawn share the challenges of building a practical document from variable pediatric references, the importance of using the guide alongside clinical reasoning, and why pediatric knowledge matters even for therapists who primarily treat adults. From infants in the NICU to adults living with congenital conditions, this episode highlights the need to think across the lifespan. Today's Guests: Dawn Drumm PT, DHSc ddrumm@luriechildrens.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-drumm-b141b455/ IG: drummdawn Ashley Parish PT, DPT, PhD, CRT, CCS ashbrown@uab.edu https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-parish-pt-dpt-phd-crt-ccs-b98b60273/ IG: ashleyparish_pt Guest Quotes: 18:31 Ashley “ What we came up with originally, and Dawn will probably laugh, it’s a massive- massive document. It was a textbook. And we were like- … “Yeah, we gotta shave this down and make it like a guide people can actually use in clinic practice.” 21:05 Dawn “First look at the document, it’s a great overview of just the lifespan within a pediatric lens. And so honing in on those first few areas of content, it just gives you kind of basics. Heart rate through the lifespan, your, respiratory rate… I think that beginning section is really important to highlight so that way you’re getting your foundational guidance that way.” 28:51 Ashley “ If you specifically wanna go into acute care peds, sometimes it’s difficult to find a job because there aren’t as many pediatric hospitals as there are adult hospitals, so just hang in there if it’s really hard for you to get on at first. Get experience in acute care. That always looks really good if you go from an adult hospital to a pediatric hospital. But those jobs do open up, so just be patient if you can’t find one right out of school ’cause no one likes to leave pediatric acute care. It’s the best setting.” Rapid Responses: What's your favorite color scrubs to wear while you’re at work? Ashley “ Oh, since I’m a peds therapist, it’s always fun, bright colors. I would say Barney purple is my favorite set. Barney purple.” Dawn “ Okay. So sadly, we don’t actually have to wear scrubs at work. Oh, wow … and we don’t have a color. But I feel like physical therapy was always blue. We always were like- … blue at county, Going with my basic blue.” You know you’re an acute care therapist when… Ashley “You have a distain for purewicks.” Dawn “ You've have changed more diapers than you would probably like. Yes. So getting down- In both adult and pediatrics, right? Both. Oh, yes … you can’t get away without poop talk.” Links: Pediatric Vital Sign Interpretation in Acute Care Guide 2025 https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/24/7681/xml https://www.sralab.org/research/labs/max-nader-rto/projects/intervention-promote-motor-development-infants

Capital Creative Showcase brought Sacramento's creative scene together, and this episode captures the energy right from the floor. Frank sits down with four different creators working across video games and tabletop games, giving listeners a closer look at how indie teams build, test, balance, and refine their projects. The episode features Kim from Ghost Hunter Simulator, Sarah from Wizard Cleaning Simulator, Keoni from Seize Gilded Treasures, and Mike from Legends of the Arena. Each conversation highlights a different side of development, from player choice and cozy horror to small-team production, card balance, community building, character design, and why live playtesting matters so much for creators. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Capital Creative Showcase recap and event overview 01:09 Interview: Kim on Ghost Hunter Simulator and player choice 15:17 Interview: Sarah on Wizard Cleaning Simulator and small-team indie development 24:59 Interview: Keoni on Seize Gilded Treasures, card balance, and community building 41:37 Interview: Mike on Legends of the Arena and building a Smash-inspired tabletop game 52:30 Final thoughts on CCS, playtesting, and Sacramento's creator community Key Takeaways Capital Creative Showcase gave local video game and tabletop developers a space to show their work, gather feedback, and connect directly with players. Ghost Hunter Simulator stands out by letting players decide whether ghosts are real, changing how they interpret evidence and approach the game. Wizard Cleaning Simulator started from a game jam idea and grew into a cozy magical cleaning game built by a small art-focused team. Seize Gilded Treasures blends trading card game mechanics with board movement, creating a strategy layer where positioning matters as much as card text. Legends of the Arena aims to capture the feel of a fast, competitive fighting game in a tabletop format built around reads, anticipation, and quick matches. Across all four interviews, playtesting comes through as one of the biggest tools for improving balance, clarity, pacing, and player experience. Memorable Quotes "If we wanted this game to exist, it had to be us." "Indie games get to be so much more experimental." "We joke that the three of us make one junior programmer." "The difference between this and a lot of other trading card games was the tabletop and the fact that we're able to move." "We lean really heavily into the fighting game idea of reading and anticipation."
