Podcasts about Concentrated

The shift to clean energy isn't just a climate issue—it's about national security, global supply chains, and how we ensure reliable power 24/7. In this episode, I spoke with Steve Anglin, founder of Utopia, about what it takes to make real progress in harder-to-abate sectors, why concentrated solar power could be a game-changer, and how global politics and material sourcing shape the path to net zero.This conversation is useful for anyone in energy who wants a deeper grasp of the challenges around industrial heat, battery materials, and the practicalities of powering economies without fossil fuels. We also unpack how tariffs, hydrogen, and microgrids fit into the wider picture.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the world's sources of critical minerals are increasingly concentrated in just a few countries, most notably China, leaving the global economy vulnerable to supply cutoffs

In this episode, we dive deep into one of nature's most powerful superfoods—colostrum—and explore its incredible benefits for immune function, gut health, and overall well-being. But we're taking it a step further by introducing Immunel, a highly concentrated and bioactive colostrum extract developed by Sterling Technology. Immunel represents the 5th generation of colostrum, setting a new standard for immune and gut support. Topics Covered:  What is Colostrum? The first milk produced after birth, rich in antibodies (IgG), growth factors, and bioactive peptides. The science behind 9,000+ PubMed studies on colostrum's health benefits.  The Health Benefits of Bovine Colostrum Immune Boosting: Clinical research shows colostrum is 3x more effective than the flu vaccine in reducing flu incidence. Gut Healing Properties: Protects the GI lining, reduces diarrhea by 86.6%, and helps in ulcerative colitis management. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Supports those with NSAID-induced GI issues. Stem Cell & Regenerative Potential.  Immunel: The Next Evolution in Colostrum A concentrated colostrum extract packed with key bioactive compounds: Growth Factors (IGF-1, TGF-ß2) Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs) for immune modulation Enzymes (lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin) for pathogen defense Sialic Acid & Nucleotides essential for immune function & DNA synthesis  Immunel vs. Standard Colostrum Unlike standard colostrum, which focuses on IgG content, Immunel is clinically validated for immune activation and pathogen defense. Outperforms β-glucans and vitamin C in immune response.  Scientific Evidence on Immunel Enhances phagocytosis & innate immunity Activates Natural Killer (NK) cells (↑ CD69 expression) Reduces bacterial lung infections by 70.2% Lowers viral load by 64% in influenza  Why This Matters for Public Health The economic burden of flu & colds: 75M lost workdays annually, costing $37.5B. Growing consumer interest: 47% of people prioritize immune health, driving demand for functional foods. Immunel is a next-generation, scientifically backed immune and gut health solution—more bioavailable and effective than traditional colostrum. Perfect for daily supplementation to support overall health and resilience.

“From a valuation standpoint, you have some cover going overseas,” says Marta Norton. “The real overvaluation has been concentrated in the Mag 7,” so she says looking in traditional value areas is a better choice. She discusses broader macro trends, adding that she doesn't expect a “hard landing.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Hey hotties! Today I'm talking about those periods in life where you feel stuck in a holding pattern while everyone else seems to be racing ahead. I had this revelation while sitting in my car thinking about my word of the year - "golden opportunity" — and realised that whenever I stress about getting older, it's not about aging at all. It's about feeling like time is passing without me growing. I share my story of losing momentum with my YouTube channel, then showing up consistently again and winning an all-expenses-paid trip to France that changed everything. The truth is, success compounds behind the scenes even when you can't see it. If you're feeling behind, it's probably because you're waiting for life to show you results before you fully commit to the work. That's not how it works! Your concentrated success is coming — but only if you move forward like it's inevitable. It's time to move, bitch!!!RESOURCES:Hot Business: https://hot-business.scoreapp.com/Hotel Home Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2rElkv9sPGgbNm98fuzjhN?si=6miEPOekTHCHszAy_OlcUgSpill your secrets (or ep requests, feedback, or praise to me) by sending me a text

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the concept of exchange funds, particularly for individuals with concentrated stock positions. They explore the implications of holding large amounts of stock in a single company, the tax ramifications of diversifying, and various strategies to manage risk and enhance portfolio diversification. The conversation emphasizes the importance of working with financial and tax advisors to create a tailored strategy for managing concentrated stock positions.   Check out our website:  beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo   Takeaways Exchange funds are a solution for diversifying concentrated stock positions. Concentrated stock positions can lead to significant financial risk. Tax implications are crucial when considering diversification strategies. Exchange funds require a long-term commitment, often up to seven years. Diversification can be achieved through various strategies, including options. A collared option strategy can protect against downside risk while allowing for some upside. Exchange fund replication maintains liquidity while providing diversification benefits. It's essential to coordinate with financial and tax advisors for effective planning. Investors should consider their overall portfolio strategy, not just individual investments. Creating a financial plan is vital for managing concentrated stock positions.

William Gallois joins the podcast to discuss his latest book, Qayrawān: The Amuletic City, published by The Pennsylvania State University Press in 2024. Qayrawān: The Amuletic City investigates the fascinating history of the Tunisian city of Qayrawān, which in the last years of the nineteenth century found itself covered in murals. Concentrated on and around the city's Great Mosque, these monumental artworks were only visible for about fifty years, from the 1880s through the 1930s. This book investigates the fascinating history of who created these outdoor paintings and why. Using visual archaeological methods, Qayrawān highlights the ‘unknown artist' as an actor of ‘unnoticed agency' and a practitioner of living traditional arts. Locating pictorial records of the murals from the backdrops of photographs, postcards, and other forms of European ephemera, Gallois identifies a form of religious painting that transposed traditional aesthetic forms such as house decoration, embroidery, and tattooing―which lay exclusively within the domains of women―onto the body of a conquered city. Gallois argues that these works were created by women as a form of “emergency art,” intended to offer amuletic protection for the community, and demonstrates how they differ markedly from “classical” Islamic antecedents and modern modes of Arab cultural production in the Middle East and North Africa. The book challenges tacit assumptions of foreign categories and standards of aesthetics imposed upon Islamic and African art. It contributes to further explorations of the exploration of the ways in which Islam was interwoven with preexisting cultures and forms of expression, particularly in calling for a continued reimagining of the study of “Islamic art.” The book makes welcome contributions to Islamic, African, and Middle Eastern studies, particularly in relation to colonial and art histories. It will be welcomed by scholars of Islamic Studies, African Studies, and Art History. William Gallois is Professor of the Islamic Mediterranean in the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter, in England. In addition to Qayrawān: The Amuletic City, Prof Gallois is the author of A History of Violence in the Early Algerian Colony (2013) and The Administration of Sickness (2008), among other works. Yaseen Christian Andrewsen is a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford, specialising in Islamic intellectual history in West Africa focusing on issues in Sufism, theology, renewal, and authority.

Episode 459 / Dana Piazza Dana Piazza is a visual artist who creates abstract drawings and paintings on paper, panel, and canvas through a process of open-ended experimentation, repeating simple marks with brushes, markers, pens, and nibs. The meticulous forms that Piazza conjures on his flat surfaces depict the illusion of depth and movement; they seem voluminous, carrying significant visual weight. He approaches each work as though it were both a puzzle and an experiment, and lets the materials and tools determine the process.   Dana lives and works in Lenox, Massachusetts. He looks forward to featuring at Dallas Art Fair and having his first solo exhibition with TURLEY, by whom he is represented, in the Spring of 2025. His work has previously appeared in solo exhibitions at Art Austerlitz in Austerlitz, New York; Thompson Giroux Gallery in Chatham, New York; and Jennifer Terzian Gallery in Litchfield, Connecticut. His numerous group exhibitions include “Flat Files at OyG” at Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn; “Concentrated” at Galerie Manqué in Brooklyn; “Art on Paper” at Muriel Guépin Gallery in New York City; and “Guilty Pleasures” at Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, hosts Marshall and Nick discuss the challenges of detailing in winter conditions, the importance of interior cleaning, and the evolution of cleaning products in the detailing industry. They explore the risks associated with using concentrated products and the shift away from traditional all-purpose cleaners (APCs) towards newer, safer alternatives like Revive. The conversation highlights the need for detailers to adapt to changing product quality and the importance of understanding the materials they are working with. In this conversation, Marshall and Nick delve into the intricacies of surfactants, the debate between concentrated and ready-to-use cleaners, the importance of quality in cleaning products, and the necessity of proper panel prep for ceramic coatings. They emphasize the balance between cost, time, and quality, and share personal anecdotes to illustrate the impact of these choices on business and customer satisfaction. Takeaways Ice skating in Vegas is a new experience. Winter detailing requires creative problem-solving. Focus on interior detailing during cold months. Quality control in car manufacturing is declining. APCs can be harmful to modern plastics. New cleaning products are emerging in the market. Detailers need to adapt to changing materials. Revive offers a safer alternative to traditional cleaners. Understanding product ingredients is crucial for detailers. Dealerships heavily rely on APCs for cleaning. Understanding surfactants helps in making better product choices. Grades of surfactants indicate their harshness and suitability for different tasks. Time spent on diluting products can add up, affecting overall efficiency. Quality products can save time and provide peace of mind. The cost of saving on cheaper products can lead to significant losses in business. Proper panel prep is crucial for the effectiveness of ceramic coatings. Using the right panel prep can prevent damage to paint finishes. Many detailing products contain oils that can affect coating adhesion. It's important to follow manufacturer guidelines for product use to maintain warranties. Investing in quality products can enhance customer satisfaction and business reputation.

“Your test kit is your tool, and you are the master of that tool. “- Trace Blackmore  In this insightful episode of Scaling Up! H2O Podcast, host Trace Blackmore delves into the critical topic of understanding and optimizing water treatment tests. This episode is designed to equip water treatment professionals with practical knowledge to enhance their test-taking techniques and interpretation skills.  The Concept of Pinks and Blues   Trace shares the origins of the term “pinks and blues,” coined by his father, and explains its significance in water testing. He stresses the importance of understanding that tests are tools to confirm or disprove hypotheses about system conditions, not tasks that generate revenue. This foundational mindset shift sets the stage for improving both the efficiency and effectiveness of test execution.  Strategic Testing Approaches  Trace provides a comprehensive breakdown of running tests in the most efficient order, starting with the longest tests and multitasking with shorter ones while waiting. This strategic approach helps water professionals maximize time on-site. He also discusses the value of running tests based on hypothesis-driven objectives, such as walking through the site and engaging with clients before taking samples.  Categorizing and Interpreting Your Tests  Listeners will gain insight into organizing test types into meaningful categories:   Base water  Concentrated water  Product contributions  System signs  Trace illustrates how to establish true concentration levels and interpret results to identify potential issues like scaling, precipitation, and system corrosion. The importance of using non-scaling ions, like silica, for accurate concentration analysis is also explained.  Analyzing Interpretative Skills Trace walks through examples that highlight how to use test results for informed decision-making, whether it's confirming system status or taking corrective action. He advises on how to integrate polymer tests and other contributing product measurements into your routine for a fuller picture of system health. This deep dive into interpretation emphasizes a detective-like approach to problem-solving in water treatment.  Final Thoughts and Essential Tips  The episode concludes with Trace's encouragement to prioritize understanding your test procedures and knowing the interferences that can affect results. He underscores the importance of planning tests efficiently and being prepared with all necessary tools before visiting client sites. By mastering these practices, listeners can transform their testing routine into a powerful tool for maintaining system integrity and customer relationships.

As you stand in front of it, you may see the handholes and manholes opened. The room may be much quieter than normal because the burners and air blowers aren't running. It may be a firetube or water tube boiler. The inspection will be different between the two, with several commonalities as well. Before you start your inspection, what should you do? Have you spoken to the operators in the area? Have you followed proper safety protocols for confined space entry, lockout/tagout, etc.? Do you feel safe entering the boiler? Do you know the history of the boiler before going in? Does this history of water treatment and boiler performance allow you to predict what you will see inside the boiler? How will you document what you find? How will you collect any samples, if necessary? How dirty will you get? Do you know the equipment you will see inside the boiler, such as steam-water separators, baffle plates, downcomers, feedwater piping, etc.? What do you expect the water line to look like? Where will oxygen pitting or hard water scaling first show up in the boiler if there was a problem? Will you be inspecting the deaerator as well? How long will it take you to get the boiler inspection report to your client? Doing a proper boiler inspection takes time, experience, knowledge, attention to detail, and often agility.   Events for Water Professionals  Check out our Scaling UP!

As a young single woman living in a punk house in LA, Sarah made an unusual choice: to become certified as a foster parent. Over the next few years Sarah welcomed young traumatized children and surly teenagers into her home and gave them all the love she had to give. Then, after days, or weeks, or months, she let them go. Sarah talks about what it is like to not know the end of the story, to know that maybe nothing is fixed, and how she sees her role as a foster mother in both the lives of the children she loves and the parents who are trying their best with what resources they have available.

In 2009, John Woolard's team flipped the switch on a first-of-a-kind concentrated solar power project. The pilot paved the way for BrightSource Energy, where John was CEO, to build its first commercial CSP plant, a 440-megawatt project in the Mojave Desert called Ivanpah.  John and his team believed they were far ahead of the competition, including photovoltaics. And they were on the verge of building several large, concentrated solar plants. That was the plan. But in the middle of building the first commercial plant, the BrightSource team faced a series of unexpected challenges that forced them to ask: “if we stay the course, will we survive?” In the first episode of The Green Blueprint, host Lara Pierpoint talks to John Woolard, former CEO of BrightSource Energy and current CEO at Meridian Clean Energy, on lessons from the concentrated solar boom and bust.  They dig into how John salvaged a financial deal that collapsed in the middle of a global financial crisis, the unexpected challenges of permitting and environmental regulations, the competitive threat of solar PV, and knowing when to pivot.

Get Peter's book here: https://a.co/d/hAtLLq0   In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capital shows how the financial investments of transnational elites threaten human rights and the future of the planet.   Private capital investments serve as the primary operating funds for international arms sales, private prisons, and other socially negative activities. These investments fuel the continued use of carbon-based energy leading to amplified global warming and climate change.   Military spending is a critical component of continued wealth concentration and political power in the world. Spending on arms and intelligence is a required aspect of maintaining global power and control. Dealing with Russia, China, Iran and other “rogue” states is a continuing agenda for agents of the world power elites. Propaganda machines in Western capitalist governments serve to protect elite wealth by promoting military conflicts to open new regions for economic investment.   Phillips warns that while continued concentration of global capital increases the profits enjoyed by the global economy's “Titans,”, it also increases global inequality, starvation, and civil unrest, threatening the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. It is imperative to ask how we can reverse the concentration of Titan wealth and revitalize grassroots democracy unbridled by extreme wealth. Identifying 117 global Titans by name and exposing the networks and interests that unite them provides readers opposed to militarism and committed to economic equality with crucial tools to directly engage the power elite who endanger life on earth.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

What's behind their analysis includes whether the S&P 500 Index has too much concentration. Then they discuss what is responsible in retrospect for markets going up or down including profit margins, sales, buybacks, dividends, and EPS. Later, they talk about gold and its huge jump in 2024.

Hi Bakers! Grab a mug of tea and a warm, buttery cinnamon-sugar-covered apple cider donut. Take a big bite and savor the sweet apple flavor with a crunchy sugar exterior. If you bake anything this Fall, make these iconic donuts! They'll bring a smile to your face and you'll be glad it's apple season! Concentrated cider in the dough makes these treats smell and taste divine. Don't want to stand over the stove for 30 minutes to cook the cider down? No problem, I have an easy hack you can use instead. This is one of my most loved recipes and I hope you adore it too! Enjoy! ~Carolyn Gluten-Free Apple Cider Donuts Revised for gluten-free from Sally's Baking Addiction makes 12 donuts (unless you overfill them like I usually do!) Dry Ingredients 1¾ cups Cup4Cup Multipurpose gluten-free flour ¼ cup blanched almond flour 1½ teaspoons sweet rice flour ¾ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon allspice ¼ teaspoon nutmeg Wet Ingredients 3 tablespoons melted butter ½ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup light brown sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ cup 2% milk ¼ cup applesauce, unsweetened ¼ cup apple cider, (reduced amount)****  For rolling Melted butter  Cinnamon Sugar (In a wide shallow cereal bowl combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon.) Directions: ****Begin by pouring 1½ cups of apple cider into a medium-sized saucepan. Heat until boiling over medium heat until cider is reduced to ¼ cup. This will take about 30 minutes. If you don't want to reduce the cider, you can use apple juice concentrate instead. Simply thaw it and measure out ¼ cup.  Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Oil the donut pans, and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together and set aside.  Mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until well combined.  Add egg, vanilla, milk, reduced cider, applesauce, and mix well. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.  Spoon the batter into a piping or large ziplock bag and twist the end shut. Then, cut the tip off the bag so you have a 3/4” inch opening. Pipe the batter into the donut pan so it is about ¾ full. Batter is very thick so this takes some work. Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes until the donut springs back when touched with your finger. Cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack. Dip the donuts in melted butter, front and back, and then coat in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Donuts are best eaten the day they are made but will be good in the fridge for another day. Heat briefly in the microwave if desired.

Are your expensive active mutual funds and ETFs actually active? Or, as is too often the case, are they only pretending to be active? Do they charge a high active fee but then behave more like an index fund? Andrew Slimmon, Managing Director at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, speaks with Barry Ritholtz about the advantages of concentrated portfolios. If you want to own active funds, then make sure they differ their benchmarks and truly are active.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
