Welcome back to Cannabis School! Today, Brandon and Jesse review Blue Lobster by Grassroots, an indica-leaning hybrid currently swimming around Utah's medical cannabis market.A member of the Cannabis School community helped make this review possible, so thank you for supporting the show and giving us another strain to break down!Blue Lobster crosses Apples and Bananas with Eye Candy. The batch reviewed comes in around 23% THC, along with minor cannabinoids including CBGA, CBCA, THCV, and CBDA. Once again, it proves that THC percentage is only one small piece of the experience.The container may feel cheap, but the flower inside tells a different story. These popcorn buds are small, dense, squishy, and surprisingly fresh. The aroma and flavor bring sweet fruit, citrus, earth, musk, and a little gas without becoming overly sharp or peppery.The experience is where Blue Lobster really earns its claws.This strain feels calm, euphoric, social, and incredibly present. It quiets the unnecessary noise without completely shutting down the mind. Instead of sending thoughts in every direction, Blue Lobster makes it easier to stay immersed in the conversation or activity directly in front of you.Physically, the body feels relaxed without becoming useless. Both hosts report a major reduction in their usual discomfort during the session, along with very little fidgeting. It may become sleepier with a larger amount, but at a moderate dose it feels surprisingly versatile.Morning, afternoon, conversation, gaming, relaxing, or winding down—this may be an anytime strain for the right consumer. Just remember: the more you consume, the more likely you are to catch what the guys lovingly call “the happy dumbs.”The commonly reported terpene profile includes myrcene, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and linalool. In this batch, the earthy relaxation and citrus brightness work together beautifully. It settles the body without making the entire room feel dark.The final verdict? Blue Lobster is Brandon's favorite hybrid of 2026 so far. Grassroots has not always been the first brand the guys reach for, but this strain was a genuine surprise—and proof that a discounted bag of popcorn flower can deliver a better experience than products chasing the highest THC number.In this episode:• Reviewing Grassroots Blue Lobster in Utah• Apples and Bananas × Eye Candy genetics• Dense popcorn buds and questionable packaging• THC versus the complete cannabinoid profile• Myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool• Sweet fruit, citrus, earth, and light gas• Calm, euphoric, social, and focused effects• Physical relaxation without immediate couchlock• Why higher THC does not guarantee a better experience• Finding quality cannabis on sale• Utah's broader cannabinoid profiles• Water filters, missing disc-golf equipment, and other detours• A free Cannabis School strain-labeling toolFind everything in one place here:

Nine more pharmaceutical giants join the fold, bringing the total to 26 companies covering 90% of the domestic drug market, and Trump calls it the biggest medical announcement of his presidency, maybe of any presidency. RFK Jr., Dr. Oz, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick each take turns explaining how "Most Favored Nation" pricing flips America from paying the highest drug prices in the world to the lowest, with projected savings north of $600 billion. A parade of pharma CEOs step up to announce Medicaid discounts, billions in U.S. manufacturing investment, and donations to the national drug stockpile, while GLP-1 weight loss drugs and IVF medications get singled out for dramatic price cuts. The Q&A afterward wanders well past pharmaceuticals, into Iran's military status, a massive Venezuela oil deal, interest rate frustrations, and China's upcoming state visit. Dense, numbers heavy, and genuinely wide ranging, this one covers a lot of ground fast.

While the world focuses on what I call the "kindergarten version" of heart disease causation, i.e., cholesterol, they ignore the REAL cause: small dense LDL particles and the entire constellation of abnormal metabolic phenomena that accompany it. Once you gain a better understanding of how coronary heart disease (heart attack, sudden cardiac death, need for heart procedures) is caused, you are on your way to taking more effective action in stopping it. Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMDBlog: WilliamDavisMD.comMembership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.comBooks:Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose WeightWheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with a mystery eye injury bit before pivoting to celebrate, ironically, the country officially crossing forty trillion dollars in debt. From there it's a full rundown of the week's declassifications, including an Eric Swalwell related document that's more interesting for how it got declassified than what's actually in it, plus new filings in the James Comey case that Herold still isn't convinced amounts to anything real. There's a segment on the former NIAID official who quietly pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges without much media attention, a discussion on US sanctions against the International Criminal Court president, and a longer debate about whether Comey could plausibly be guilty of something bigger than what's currently charged. The guys also touch on Venezuela, voting machine history, and revisit the ever popular Epstein files question. Dense news week, delivered with the usual banter.

The Moon is lumpy. In fact, its gravity is the lumpiest of any body in the solar system. That makes it tricky for spacecraft to maintain the right speed and altitude as they orbit the Moon. The lumps are known as mass concentrations – “mascons.” They were discovered by Lunar Orbiter 1, which arrived at the Moon 60 years ago. You can’t see them – only feel their gravitational pull. Lunar Orbiter was designed to survey possible landing sites for Apollo astronauts. But as it circled the Moon, its orbit changed in unexpected ways. As it flew over some parts of the Moon, it sped up a little and dropped closer to the surface. The same effect was seen in the orbits of later missions as well. The effect could be dramatic. Apollo 16 left a small satellite in orbit in April of 1972. It was supposed to stay in orbit for several months. Instead, it crashed after just one month. Many of the mascons are associated with giant impact basins. They formed when asteroids slammed into the Moon long ago. Dense molten rock bubbled up below the scars, then cooled and hardened. This rock is denser than the surrounding rock. That makes its gravitational pull a little stronger. Today, we have good maps of the mascons – allowing satellites to escape their fatal attraction. The crescent Moon is quite low in the sky as twilight fades the next couple of nights. Venus, the “evening star,” stands close by. Script by Damond Benningfield

Daily Boost Podcast Stack Dense Days August 10, 2026 | Episode 5516 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Happy Monday. I'm heading back from Death Valley today, and we're going to stack some dense days and get some stuff done. Everybody wants a quantum leap. It's not magic, it's not luck, and nobody wants to hear what it actually is: one ridiculously focused day, stacked. Busy is motion. Dense is progress. The math is stupidly encouraging — you don't need 365 of these days, just a handful. Today I'll show you how to pull one off, and the one itty-bitty thing to start with before the day is over. Featured Story Years ago I built my television business doing commercials for martial arts schools. One day I wrote a script about how hard we work: come watch us sweat, hit each other, block and punch — the best workout you've ever had. A great businessman I worked with said, no, don't say that. Nobody wants that. I argued — sure we do. He said, yeah, you do. But nobody runs toward the sweat. He was right. And yet it's exactly that stuff — at the gym, at the dojo, at your desk — that changes your life. Nobody buys the work, but the work is the only thing that ever produces the result. Important Points Busy is motion, dense is progress. A quantum leap is one ridiculously focused day, stacked back-to-back with more. The math is stupidly encouraging: you don't need 365 dense days. A handful of them will change absolutely everything. A dense day is a deadline you set on purpose — and you can't schedule one into a cluttered week without subtracting. Memorable Quotes Busy is motion. Dense is progress. It's one thing, hours deep, with nothing around you. That's what changes your life. A quantum leap isn't magic, and it isn't luck. It's one ridiculously focused day, stacked. Nobody wants to hear that. Everything that ever gave me the freedom and income I wanted came down to a handful of days and a handful of ideas. Scott's Three-Step Approach Name one itty-bitty thing that, put in motion today, would change everything about the next ten years of your life. Clear the deck for it — subtract, pull things away, and put your phone in the other room so the day can get dense. Go hours deep on that one thing like a midnight deadline, then stack the next dense day before the momentum fades.

Hello Interactors,I've long been a fan of “regreening” cities, imagining replacing bits of asphalt and concrete with trees, plants, mini-parks, and green roofs to cool them down. In many cases these are indeed good interventions. But even these celebrated nature-based solutions to the “urban heat island” effect require closer inspection. It turns out any land cover change alters energy, water, and momentum exchanges between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Which are the right ones and where?To understand why cookie cutter greening plans can fail and how planners and policy makers can build cities that can handle climate change, we need to understand how land and the air interact. Environments vary from place to place, and this puts limits on what we can do to land to create urban climates that are both beautiful and healthy.To get a handle on what the research says, I found a literature review from 2025 that synthesized findings from 84 peer-reviewed studies. In was published in the journal Climate Risk Management.Let's see what they, and others, found.BEATING HEAT WITH BIOPHYSICAL FEATSWhat better place to start than science. Let's just delve right into how urban green spaces affect temperature. It starts with determining the energy balance at the surface of the earth. This comes from a budget equation found in physical geography. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, it breaks down into three main fluxes, or ways heat moves around* Sensible heat flux: the heat that directly warms the surrounding air, which we measure as temperature.* Latent heat flux: the heat that's used to turn water from a liquid to a gas, like when we sweat or plants release water vapor (transpiration).* Ground heat flux: the heat stored in building materials, asphalt, and soil.In conventional urban environments dominated by concrete and asphalt, latent heat flux is minimal because we've built cities in ways that rapidly drain water away as ‘waste'. As a result, incoming solar energy is funneled into sensible heat. This raises daytime air temperatures that gets stored as ground heat, which is slowly radiated back into the city at night. Urban greening can reshuffle this thermodynamic budget through three interconnected physical mechanisms: shading, evapotranspiration, and albedo modification.Mechanism 1. Shading: Intercepting Solar RadiationShading — the most immediate and reliable cooling mechanism provided by vegetation — requires precise microclimatic quantification. Vegetative canopies act as physical shields, intercepting incoming shortwave solar radiation before it strikes impervious surfaces like concrete or asphalt. By preventing these dense materials from absorbing heat and emitting sensible heat flux back into the boundary layer, shading dramatically lowers surface temperatures and reduces the baseline thermal energy transferred to the surrounding air. (Bowler, D. E., et al. 2010)The cooling benefit of urban trees is non-linear, accelerating significantly once neighborhood canopy cover crosses a critical threshold of around 40%. Measuring daytime air temperatures across urban gradients, they found that canopy cover above this 40% mark can lower local air temperatures by up to 1.5 to 2.0 degrees Celsius, effectively offsetting the thermal burden created by surrounding roads and impervious surfaces. (Ziter, C. D., et al. 2019)Mechanism 2. Evapotranspiration: Trading Sensible Heat for Latent HeatWhile shading blocks heat absorption, evapotranspiration actively removes heat from the air. Plants absorb soil moisture through their root systems and release it as water vapor through tiny microscopic pores in their leaves called stomata. This process requires thermal energy that turns phase-changing liquid water into gas. This energy transfer absorbs sensible heat and converts it into latent heat.Evapotranspiration from well-watered urban green spaces can lower local air temperatures by 2-4 degrees celsius. (Coutts, et al., 2013) However, physical geographers emphasize a crucial physical prerequisite that is easy to overlook: evapotranspiration is entirely dependent on available water. When the soil is dry or the air is super dry, plants close their stomata to save water. When stomata close, evapotranspiration shuts down. This leaves shading as the sole remaining cooling mechanism.Mechanism 3. Albedo Dynamics: The Surface Reflectivity ParadoxAlbedo measures the reflectivity of a surface on a scale from 0.0 (total absorption) to 1.0 (total reflection). Urban asphalt has a low albedo (0.05 to 0.10), absorbing up to 95% of incoming solar energy. Vegetation's albedo can range from 0.11 to 0.25.In temperate climates, replacing low-albedo asphalt with greenery or reflective surfaces increases surface reflectivity, sending more solar radiation back into space before it can be absorbed as sensible heat. One study documented that increasing urban surface albedo typically lowers peak ambient air temperatures by 0.3 degres Celsius to 1.0 degree Celsius — alongside much larger drops in surface pavement temperatures. While a temperature change under one degree Celsius may sound modest at first glance, a baseline shift of this magnitude across a neighborhood is enough to redefine a local microclimate. (Santamouris, 2014)But swapping out light urban surfaces for dark vegetation can also have a negative effect. Paradoxically, when researchers in 2023 replaced dry, light-colored desert soil with darker vegetation in hot, arid regions it reduced overall surface reflectivity. The drop in albedo caused an increase in daytime surface warming. (Schlaerth, et al., 2023)Furthermore, dense tree canopies inside narrow urban street canyons can act as thermal blankets at night. While trees provide valuable shade during the day, their foliage reduces the sky view factor at street level, trapping outgoing longwave thermal radiation emitted by surrounding building facades and asphalt. When combined with reduced wind permeability, this canopy barrier restricts nocturnal radiative cooling and holds warm air near ground level (Lee et al., 2016).These are the physical realities that can demonstrate how urban greening is not a consistently inherent cooling practice. It is a complex thermodynamic intervention whose success relies entirely on local environmental conditions.PLACEMENT, PATCHES, AND PARK PATTERNSBecause thermodynamic processes happen across physical spaces, cooling urban green space can be uneven. The literature review reveals that a green space's cooling capacity depends on four spatial and biological variables: vegetation density, species selection, spatial configuration, and urban morphology. Let's break them down individually.Cooling Factor 1. Vegetation Density and Species TraitsNot all greenery cools equally. One way to measure this is through a Leaf Area Index (LAI). This is the total leaf area per unit of ground area and is a primary predictor of thermal performance. As you might imagine, dense foliage absorbs more from the sun and then produces higher cumulative transpiration (so long as there's adequate water).Botanical traits also play a big role. Broadleaf deciduous species (like oaks or maples) feature large surface areas that maximize summer transpiration, but that goes away when they drop their leaves in winter. Evergreen coniferous trees, however, maintain continuous canopy coverage through every season.In temperate rainforest environments like Seattle or Vancouver, researchers found that conifers cooled urban surroundings up to 1.7 degrees celsius more effectively than broadleaf trees. Dense needle canopies continuously block incoming solar radiation due to higher LAI and the fact that clusters of spiny needles better trap a stable buffer of calm air which moderates heat exchange with the surrounding urban environment. (Eyster & Beckage, 2022, 2023) Cooling factor 2. Spatial Configuration: Landscape Ecology PrinciplesEcologists and geographers commonly evaluate green spaces through two main attributes: composition (how much green space exists) and configuration (how those green patches are arranged across the landscape). Over 58% of the mechanism-focused studies in the literature review analyzed spatial pattern metrics. The consensus is the spatial layout of green space is just as important as its total area!Other empirical studies consistently demonstrate that cooling effects decay the further you get from green spaces. Research done in 2016 and 2023 shows how urban parks can produce a primary “cooling footprint” that extends typically 100 to 300 meters from the park boundaries. If you're lucky enough to live within this buffer, temperatures drop between 1.9 and 3.1 degrees celsius, but beyond 300 meters, the cooling influence quickly falls off. (Bao, et al. 2016, Shi et al. 2023)This spatial limit leads to a couple spatial layout choices. A few big parks or connected networks of smaller green spaces. Large, consolidated parks (>2 hectares) generate intense, stable “cool islands” at their core, but their benefits remain localized. For example, a study in Xalapa, Mexico, revealed that parks larger than 2.8 hectares with over 21% tree cover provided reliable local cooling of around 2 degrees celsius . (Lemoine-Rodriguez et al., 2022)Connected networks of smaller green spaces distributed across a city create a more equitable cooling effect. Three studies in 2019 and 2021 show that fragmented, isolated green patches — like big parks — perform poorly compared to continuous, linear green corridors. Linear “green belts” or street-tree networks (in the right environment) can act as ventilation channels, allowing cool air generated by vegetation to flow into adjacent built-up neighborhoods. (Masoudi et al., 2019, 2021; Pramanik, 2019)Cooling factor 3. Urban Morphology: The Built Environment MatrixObviously, green spaces don't exist in isolation. They're embedded within a three-dimensional hodge podge of buildings, streets, and other bits of infrastructure. Urban morphologists can quantify this urban morphological cacophony using building height-to-street-width ratio and sky view factor - the extent to which surrounding structures and canopies obstruct a location's view of the open sky.High-density urban cores with tall buildings create deep “urban canyons” that generate their own shade. In these settings, building shade can combine with tree shade during peak daylight hours to significantly lower temperatures.However, studies show that if tree canopies in narrow street canyons are too dense — particularly in humid environments — they can trap anthropogenic heat emitted by vehicle exhaust and air conditioning condenser units. They can also significantly reduce localized wind speeds. As a result, maximizing green space cooling efficiency requires aligning vegetation density and canopy architecture with prevailing wind corridors to preserve urban ventilation channels (Cheung & Jim, 2019; Morakinyo et al., 2019).Nothing is every as easy as it seems.BRIDGING GAPS WITH BETTER MAPSWhile academic literature can offer detailed insights into microclimatic processes, there remains a big gap between academia and urban planning and governmental policy. That gap may be self-fulfilling. The literature review of 84 papers revealed 61% of the papers simply advocate for expanding green space area, whereas only 26% focus on optimizing existing green infrastructure.Recommending that dense, historical cities “add more large parks” ignores real-world urban constraints. In modern, rapidly expanding cities, urban land is expensive, highly contested, and structurally constrained. Space dedicated to a new park often competes directly with housing, transit infrastructure, or commercial development. To move beyond idealistic slogans, urban planning will have to recon with three major implementation challenges.Challenge 1. The Water-Energy-Heat Nexus in Arid CitiesThe most significant implementation challenge facing nature-based solutions occurs precisely where urban heat stress is most severe — in hot, arid regions. Cities like Phoenix, Cairo, Tehran, or Riyadh already suffer from intense summer heatwaves. You don't have to live in or visit these places to know water there is extremely scarce.Maintaining green spaces in places like this requires pumping groundwater or desalinating seawater. Pumping and desalinating water requires massive amounts of electricity, which only increases greenhouse gas emissions if that power is coming from fossil fuels. Furthermore, if irrigation water runs out during a heatwave, non-adapted vegetation dries out, loses its cooling capacity, and can even become a wildfire risk.To solve this dilemma, physical geographers advocate evaluating urban greening through a standardized resource efficiency metric: evapotranspirative cooling per unit of water applied. In plain language, this ratio measures how many degrees of cooling you get for each liter (or gallon) of water that plants and soil release into the air through evaporation and transpiration.In dry climates — where municipal water is already tightly rationed and turfgrass is increasingly discouraged but rarely banned (I'm looking at you Arizona) — urban greening strategies are going to have pivot away from high-water lawns and non-native foliage. These cities have to move from simply prioritizing or incentivizing drought-tolerant species to requiring them. While drought-tolerant plants transpire less water than many other plants and trees — and still require water — when combined with drip-irrigation using treated municipal wastewater (greywater), they can provide a pretty reliable canopy shade and even modest evaporative cooling without draining water reserves.Challenge 2. Environmental Justice and Thermal EquityUrban heat exposure is rarely, if ever, distributed evenly across socio-economic groups. In many cities worldwide, low-income neighborhoods exhibit significantly lower tree canopy cover, higher proportions of impervious asphalt, and higher building densities than the more affluent suburbs and ex-urbs. This imbalance leaves more vulnerable populations exposed to extreme heat hazards.When municipalities undertake uncoordinated “regreening” projects, they risk triggering green gentrification. Installing fancy attractive parks can then inflate surrounding property values, displacing residents while still not reducing their heat related vulnerability.To address this, requires targeted interventions like deploying small-scale, distributed interventions (think pocket parks, vegetated bus stops, and road corridors) directly in high-vulnerability, low-canopy/vegetation neighborhoods. You could focus on functional shading over high-maintenance aesthetics. This could better ensure that at least transit stops, pedestrian walkways, and playgrounds are prioritized for canopy cover. Lastly, combining situated green infrastructure with social policy could create and/or protect more affordable housing around old and new greened public corridors and spaces.Challenge 3. A Multi-Benefit, Context-Specific Design FrameworkNo single cooling intervention works everywhere. Planners and policy makers need to adopt an integrated, multi-tiered approach that combines nature-based solutions with material interventions.In arid and semi-arid environments, planners should prioritize structural canopy shading and end an over-reliance on water-intensive lawn evapotranspiration. It's time to demand drought-tolerant trees with greywater irrigation networks, shade sails, and high-albedo “cool pavements” that can better reflect solar radiation without draining water resources.In contrast, humid and more temperate climates would likely benefit most from maximizing green spatial connectivity. By linking existing parks through linear street-tree corridors — with select broadleaf and/or coniferous species — summer evapotranspiration can be enhanced while maintaining year-round microclimate regulation.Finally, within high-density, built-up cores where ground space for new parks is limited, cities should leverage vertical green walls and green roofs paired with reflective building materials. But they best also preserve prevailing wind corridors while preventing nighttime heat traps through street canyons.“Regreening” is a compelling slogan, but as physical geography demonstrates, simplistic blanket policies can yield unpredictable thermodynamic results. Simply planting trees without considering local climate, available water, species traits, spatial configuration, and urban geometry can lead to unintended consequences.The exhaustive synthesis of decade-long research provided by Hadi Soltanifard and Majid Amani-Beni (2025) offers a clear path forward. Nature-based solutions are not off-the-shelf products that can be copy-pasted across different global cities. They are dynamic, living interventions that alter energy fluxes across urban surfaces.By moving beyond blanket acreage targets and framing urban greening as the strategic reorganization of surface-energy relations, geographers, urban planners, and policymakers will need to work together. When we design green infrastructure that respects local environmental constraints, honors spatial equity, and optimizes microclimatic processes, urban greening moves from a vague policy promise toward tools of experimentation that can pragmatically evolve our cities and megaregions into truly climate-resilient urbanscapes.ReferencesBowler, D.

Happy Monday Everyone The V236 just had a bad week last week. a blade failed on one of the turbines at ENBW’s [EN-bay-vay’s] HE DREIHT [hay DRYT] offshore wind farm in the German North Sea. Nine hundred and sixty megawatts. There are 64 of those V236 machines. The project hit first power just last November. ENBW says no one was hurt. VESTAS says it has launched a root cause investigation. But a blade failure on your flagship turbine … at one of Germany’s biggest offshore wind farms? That will be a headline. And the industry is watching. Now … from the North Sea … to the coast of Maine. The UNIVERSITY OF MAINE has done something no one in America has done before. They put a full-size floating wind turbine in the ocean. And it is delivering power to the grid. The platform is called VOLTURNUS [vol-TURN-us]. It was assembled onshore … in Brewer, Maine … then towed thirty miles down the PENOBSCOT [peh-NOB-skot] River and out to sea. No specialized heavy-lift vessels. No deepwater pile driving. The hull is made of concrete … sourced locally. Not imported steel. Eighty percent of the best offshore wind in America sits over water too deep for fixed-bottom foundations. Floating platforms like VOLTURNUS could change that math entirely. Meanwhile … in Japan … wind energy just found a brand-new customer. Data centers. EURUS [YOO-rus] ENERGY and TOYOTA TSUSHO [TOY-oh-tah TSOO-shoh] have broken ground on a wind-powered data center in HOKKAIDO [hoh-KY-doh]. It is the first data center in Japan directly connected to a wind farm. The facility sits next to the KOBAOKO [koh-bah-OH-koh] Wind Farm … forty-two megawatts … with a private power line running straight to the servers. And here is the bigger picture. Japan has most of its data centers packed into Tokyo and Osaka. HOKKAIDO has the wind … but not the demand. So instead of sending the power somewhere else … they are bringing the demand to the wind. TOYOTA TSUSHO already operates ten wind farms in the region … more than five hundred megawatts. They are planning a much larger data center cluster by twenty thirty. Ten to twenty megawatts of capacity. And speaking of scale … China just laid out its five-year plan for renewables. The target? A fifty-three percent jump in renewable energy consumption by twenty thirty. According to BLOOMBERG … renewable power use should rise to about one-point-eight billion tons of coal equivalent … Wind and solar generation alone should nearly double … from two-point-three trillion kilowatt-hours to four trillion. And here is the part that matters for reliability. China wants wind and solar … backed by storage … to provide twenty percent of electricity during peak summer and winter evening hours. That is double the current level. Three hundred gigawatts of peak generation from renewables. That is not an aspiration. That is a published national target. Now … before we go … a story from the other end of the scale. In KONGIGANAK [KAHN-gig-uh-nak] … a village in western Alaska … they built five wind turbines. There is no grid connection. No transmission lines running to the outside world. For years … the village ran on diesel generators. The turbines changed that. But they created a new problem. Sometimes … the wind made more electricity than the village could use. No grid to send it to. No big battery bank to store it in. So the engineers came up with something simple. They put special ceramic heaters inside every home. When the wind blows hard … the extra power flows into those heaters. Dense ceramic bricks soak up the energy as heat. And when the wind dies down … that stored heat slowly releases into the house. In Alaska … where winter never seems to end … surplus wind power now keeps homes warm and cuts diesel bills at the same time. There is a shift in the wind energy business at the moment.   It used to be utilities buying megawatts. Now it is tech companies buying uptime. Remote villages buying independence from diesel. And entire nations buying credibility on their climate commitments. Each of those buyers has a different definition of reliability. And every one of them needs turbines that can run for years and years. The wind industry has never had more demand. The question is whether the hardware can keep up with the ambition. `That is the state of the wind industry for the twenty-seventh of July … twenty twenty-six.

Karina Delfino, alcaldesa de Quinta Normal y vicepresidenta de la Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades (AChM), rechazó tajantemente las recientes declaraciones del ministro de Hacienda, Jorge Quiroz, sobre la fórmula de compensación por la exención de contribuciones a la vivienda principal de los adultos mayores desde los 65 años, que está dispuesto en el proyecto de Reconstrucción."Lamento las palabras del ministro Quiroz, porque cuando uno está en democracia —a pesar de que (en el oficialismo) tienen mayoría en el Congreso, pero ese día no tuvieron mayoría en el Senado, por algo retrasaron la votación respecto a esta materia—, yo entendería que estas discusiones no se agotan, porque además es como bajo la amenaza de'bueno, si no les gusta, entonces quédense sin ni uno'", fustigó Delfino.La alcaldesa explicó que el principal punto de discordia radica en que el Gobierno descartó focalizar el beneficio según tramos de ingreso o patrimonio, concentrando la discusión en un esquema de compensación que perjudica a las comunas más vulnerables.También conversamos con la subsecretaria de Relaciones Económicas Internacionales, Paula Estévez, quien señaló que el Gobierno de Chile hizo todo lo posible por evitar que Estados Unidos impusiera a los productos nacionales un arancel de 12,5 por ciento debido a lo que consideró "esfuerzos insuficientes para combatir el trabajo forzoso".El Diario de Cooperativa, con Verónica Franco y Rodrigo Vergara.Encuentra más episodios en Cooperativapodcast.cl

Ghost comes in hot off his third recording of the day for a whiplash inducing news cycle. The big story is the US Saudi civilian nuclear deal, signed one day and seemingly upended by Trump the next with a surprise Abraham Accords condition. Ghost walks through the CNN and Zero Hedge reporting, then spends serious time explaining why he thinks the whole "confusion" narrative is theater aimed at a very specific audience. From there it is a lightning round through Barak Ravid's timeline: Trump weighing a massive new strike on Iran, Netanyahu's upcoming White House visit tied to Lindsey Graham's funeral, and a US UK push for an international coalition to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Ghost closes out with a Turkish sailor killed in a Ukrainian drone strike near Novorossiysk, and what that could mean for Turkey's patience. Dense, opinionated, and unmistakably Ghost.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Keeping the Game Green: Fall Overseeding Sports Fields” written by David Lawrence with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. For many turf managers, fall marks a welcome transition time when cooler temperatures slow turf growth and the frantic pace of summer maintenance finally eases. The start of the fall season often brings a sense of relief and satisfaction as turf maintains its green color without the surge of growth that demands constant mowing and management. For some, it's a rare chance to pause, reflect on the successes and challenges of the summer, and prepare for the months ahead. However, not everyone gets to slow down. For many sports field managers, fall is one of the busiest times of the year. Football season is in full swing, and fields endure relentless stress from practices, games, and unpredictable weather. While most fans focus on the players and the scoreboard, turfgrass professionals can't help but notice the condition and aesthetic appeal of the playing surfaces when attending a game or watching on television. Beyond appearances, turf managers know that the quality of the surface directly affects player safety. Dense, healthy turf cushions impact, reduces divots and holes, and helps minimize the risk of slips and injuries. One of the most effective ways to maintain both aesthetics and playability during this demanding stretch is through overseeding bermudagrass fields with perennial ryegrass. Across the southeastern U.S., bermudagrass growth slows dramatically in the fall as temperatures drop and daylength shortens, limiting the plant's ability to recover from traffic and wear. Even during milder years, reduced sunlight and cooler nights simply don't allow bermudagrass to sustain vigorous growth and recover after the pounding of a typical football season. That's where perennial ryegrass shines. Its deep-green color, fine texture, and excellent striping potential make it the go-to choice for achieving high-quality field appearance. Beyond visual appeal, perennial ryegrass establishes quickly, provides dense coverage, and enhances traction, all key factors in maintaining safe and consistent playing conditions. A well-established ryegrass overseed offers a stable, even surface that keeps athletes confident in their footing throughout the season. Most athletic field managers begin overseeding in mid-September, adjusting timing based on local climate and field schedules. Typical seeding rates range from 8 to 12 pounds per 1,000 square feet, with periodic supplemental applications to fill divots and high-wear zones such as between hash marks and along sidelines. Proper irrigation and fertility management are critical during establishment. It's important to provide consistent moisture to promote uniform germination, while avoiding excessive wetness that could compromise field conditions during play. Managers should also monitor soil temperatures closely, as seeding too early can stress young ryegrass, while seeding too late can delay establishment as cooler weather sets in. Of course, overseeding comes with challenges. Weed management requires careful planning to avoid damaging both ryegrass and the underlying bermudagrass. Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) remains one of the most persistent issues on overseeded fields. Herbicide options are limited, and success depends heavily on timing for both pre-emergent and post-emergent applications. Precision and patience are essential for achieving control while minimizing damage to desirable turf species. The following provides examples of commonly used products, though it does not represent a complete list of all labeled options. Pre-emergent herbicides such as prodiamine or pronamide can be applied prior to overseeding but must be applied several weeks before the expected overseed date to allow time for herbicide degradation before seeding. Some sulfonylurea herbicides such as foramsulfuron or rimsulfuron can be applied one week prior to overseeding. These products that can be used do not have any pre-emergent activity but will control any annual bluegrass that has already germinated. This application can be beneficial especially when the overseeding date is later into the fall after annual bluegrass germination. Post-emergent options for overseeded turf include ethofumesate, amicarbazone, paclobutrazol, and bispyribac. These products can be temperature dependent so careful planning should be considered when making an application. Some PGRs such as ethephon can reduce or prevent seedhead formation on annual bluegrass when applied at the proper time. Applicators should read all herbicide labels to ensure turfgrass safety while providing the best opportunity for annual bluegrass control. Another management hurdle arises during spring transition. If not carefully managed, perennial ryegrass can delay bermudagrass green-up, leading to thin, uneven turf. Many managers opt for chemical removal of ryegrass once bermudagrass begins active growth, though the timing varies depending on field use and athletic schedules. Sulfonylurea herbicides are commonly used for ryegrass transition. However, due to the increased incidence of ALS herbicide resistance, many managers may need to rely on other products such as pronamide for ryegrass transition if annual bluegrass is present. The goal is to remove ryegrass early enough to allow bermudagrass to recover, yet late enough to maintain playability for spring sports. When managed thoughtfully, fall overseeding with perennial ryegrass delivers multiple benefits such as enhanced color, improved traction, extended playability, and safer, more resilient fields. It's not just about keeping the turf green when bermudagrass slows down; it's about protecting players, preserving field quality, and ensuring that every game, practice, and play happens on a quality surface. For many sports field managers, overseeding is not simply a seasonal task but a key component of year-round field performance and visual quality. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

Rather than asking how AI can help produce more books faster, he explores how AI can unlock entirely new ways for audiences to experience stories through interactive apps, games, codices, workbooks, and other formats that previously required large development teams.That leads into a larger discussion about permission.Neither traditional publishing nor modern technology determines what creators are “allowed” to make anymore. The only real limitations are imagination, willingness to experiment, and understanding the business realities behind each creative decision.The episode also explores one of the most important concepts for building a sustainable creative career:Every creative goal is built from dozens of smaller skills.Whether someone wants to become a podcaster, novelist, filmmaker, or entrepreneur, success isn't about mastering one discipline. It's about gradually stacking complementary skills until seemingly unrelated experiences suddenly converge years later into a career that feels inevitable in hindsight.Throughout the conversation, Lee explains how she coaches authors by breaking seemingly impossible goals into measurable component skills, while Russell emphasizes that many creators fail simply because they confuse different goals, like “finishing a book” versus “writing the perfect book.”The discussion continues into branding, genre, audience expectations, marketing strategy, commercial fiction versus literary fiction, and why understanding your actual goals matters far more than copying someone else's career.By the end, the conversation becomes less about books and more about designing an entire creative life around what genuinely energizes you instead of chasing someone else's definition of success.Topics Covered:* ADHD, body doubling, and productivity through co-working* Live TikTok writing sprints* Building creative momentum through accountability* Why the AI debate has become less interesting than AI's unexplored possibilities* Using AI to create interactive fiction experiences* Games, apps, codices, and alternative storytelling formats* Moving beyond simply writing more books* Escaping the “book-a-month” mindset* Delivering a consistent brand promise* Lessons from Colleen Hoover and her readership* Brand consistency versus creative freedom* Why audiences buy feelings, not formats* Permissionless creativity in the modern publishing world* Teaching yourself instead of waiting for gatekeepers* Everything changes, but nothing is wasted creatively* How unrelated skills compound over time* Why every creative pursuit strengthens future work* The hidden skill tree behind creative careers* Breaking large goals into measurable subskills* Diagnosing bottlenecks in an author's business* Identifying obvious versus non-obvious constraints* Marketing, branding, writing, and sales as separate skills* Goal clarity versus perfectionism* Finishing a book versus endlessly rewriting it* Coaching authors through creative paralysis* Living in the energy of the solution instead of the problem* Chapter-by-chapter developmental editing* Making stories “hookier” without sacrificing quality* Scene goals and narrative momentum* Book marketing bootcamps and implementation coaching* The five marketing levers:* Cover* Description* Audience* Ad creative* Ad copy* Improving conversion instead of increasing production* Hiring coaches to solve specific problems* Defining what “good” actually means* Literary fiction versus commercial fiction* Hook-driven storytelling* Character goals as reader engagement* Matching writing style to audience expectations* Understanding market size versus artistic goals* Commercial realities of genre fiction* Fantasy, romance, literary fiction, YA, and niche genres* Building businesses around niche audiences* Total addressable market* Choosing creative constraints intentionally* Dense fiction versus highly consumable fiction* Writing beautiful prose without sacrificing readability* Generating traffic versus improving conversion* Lessons from James Clear and Atomic Habits* Creating highly shareable nonfiction* The difference between broad-market products and niche products* Serving a small but passionate audience* Designing a creative life around personal values* Investing versus relying solely on book income* Aligning business models with lifestyle goals* Accepting tradeoffs instead of chasing impossible comparisons* Building a career that fits your definition of success This is a public episode.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons responds to Peter Attia's breast cancer screening episode (#396). Attia asks the right question: why are 42,000 women still dying of breast cancer every year? But his answer, more mammograms and MRI on top, is exactly wrong. Dr. Jenn breaks down, study by study, why that 40-year approach has never moved the death toll.Forty-two thousand women a year. That number has not moved since mammography went mainstream in the 1980s. Detection rates are up, diagnoses are up, and the death toll has not changed. We have been finding more cancer, calling more women patients, and watching the same number of them die. If you have ever scheduled your annual mammogram believing it was the most protective thing you could do, this episode will reframe everything you thought you knew.What You'll LearnWhy the breast cancer death toll has not moved in 40 years, and why more screening is the reasonWhy DCIS is not cancer, why mammography invented it, and what happens to a woman the moment it gets labeled "stage zero"Why an aggressive tumor is aggressive from the day it forms, and why finding it earlier on a mammogram does not change what it does nextWhy mammography catches the cancers least likely to kill you, and routinely misses the ones that willWhat happened when researchers followed 89,835 women for 25 years and compared annual mammography to doing nothing, and why you have never heard about itWhat the Cochrane review found after analyzing every randomized mammography trial ever run, and why Peter Attia addressed it in one sentenceWhy the WISDOM trial, the most significant recent evidence in this space and the one study Attia never mentions, is an indictment of everything he arguedWhy there is no standard radiation dose for a mammogram, and why the woman next to you in the waiting room may have received ten times less than you didWhat the FDA has formally documented about gadolinium staying in the brain and bones for years, and why the women being told to get it every six months are the last women who shouldWhy insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and toxic burden are among the most powerful drivers of breast cancer risk, and why Attia's episode contained zero mention of any of themResources MentionedPeter Attia, Episode 396 on breast cancer screening: peterattiamd.com/breastcancerscreeningDr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley HealthMiller AB, et al.

The Presenter's Dilemma The presenter's dilemma is simple: should we build the talk around slides, or build the slides around the message? Too many business presentations begin with recycled decks, clever visuals, and a desperate slide shuffle. The better path starts with one clear message, a specific audience, and stories that make the idea memorable. Should presenters start by building slides? No, presenters should not start by building slides; they should start by deciding what they want the audience to know, believe, and remember. A collage of slides is not a message. The warm embrace of an existing deck is tempting. We plunder old PowerPoint files, pull in favourite charts, add new content, and then wonder why the presentation feels like a beast with too many limbs. In Japan, Australia, the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific corporate settings, executives often equate slides with preparation. That is the trap. Slides are support tools, not the thinking itself. Before any visual appears, the speaker must boil the subject down to one pungent, crystal-clear message. Do now: Write the central message in one sentence before opening PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, or Canva. How do you choose the right message for a presentation? Choose the right message by understanding who will be in the audience and what will hit the bullseye for them.The best message is not always the speaker's favourite message. The topic gives a clue, but the audience decides the angle. Ask the organiser who usually attends, which companies are registered, what roles are represented, and what outcomes they expect. A talk for CFOs at Toyota, Rakuten, Salesforce, or a Japanese SME should not sound identical to a talk for HR leaders, sales managers, investors, or startup founders. In B2B presentations, audience intelligence changes everything: examples, story selection, data points, objections, and the final call to action. Do now: Get audience intelligence early. Then choose the message most likely to matter to those specific listeners. Why are stories more powerful than raw data in presentations? Stories are more powerful than raw data because they give information context, colour, and human meaning. Data informs, but stories make people care. Numbers can be inert. A spreadsheet, table, or statistic may be accurate and still leave the audience cold. When data is wrapped inside a story, people can visualise the point. That is why presenters translate measurements into familiar comparisons, such as football fields, daily costs, customer time saved, or missed revenue per month. In sales presentations, investor pitches, leadership briefings, and training sessions, the story turns abstract information into something the audience can feel and remember. Do now: For every major data point, ask: "What story, person, image, or comparison will make this real?" How many slides should a business presentation use? A business presentation should use only the slides that strengthen the message; sometimes that means very few slides or even none. The goal is impact, not slide volume. Video meetings make this especially important. In Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex presentations, screen sharing often shrinks the speaker into a tiny box while the slides dominate the screen. If the speaker's personal brand, leadership presence, or executive credibility matters, that can be a poor trade. A senior leader presenting to top management may create more impact by using fewer visuals and speaking directly into the camera. This keeps attention on the human being, not the slide machinery. Do now: Cut every slide that competes with your presence rather than amplifying your point. How can speakers tell stories without relying on visuals? Speakers can tell stories without visuals by painting a scene with time, place, people, and sensory detail. A well-told story creates its own screen inside the audience's mind. Instead of showing a snowy New York image, say it was three years ago, heavy snow was falling, and the streets around Rockefeller Center were white. Add a recognisable person, such as Warren Buffett leaving the building in a thick coat and long scarf, and the audience starts building the scene themselves. This works in Japan, Australia, the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific because humans are wired for narrative. The speaker becomes the focus, not the slide deck. Do now: Build stories with four anchors: when it happened, where it happened, who was there, and what changed. When should presenters use slides? Presenters should use slides when the visual can be processed quickly and supports the story rather than replacing it. A good slide earns its place in about one second. Photographs with no words can work beautifully because they trigger curiosity and allow the speaker to explain the symbolism. Dense text, detailed spreadsheets, complex graphs, and tables of numbers often do the opposite. They drag attention away from the presenter and force the audience to read instead of listen. In executive communication, keynote speaking, sales enablement, and leadership presentations, slides should be visual allies. They should never become the main act while the speaker becomes the narrator of a document. Do now: Prefer simple visuals, strong photographs, and story-led explanations over text-heavy slide dumps. Conclusion: How should presenters solve the presenter's dilemma? The presenter's dilemma is solved by changing the order of preparation. First, know the audience. Second, define the one message. Third, choose stories and examples. Fourth, decide whether slides are needed at all. Finally, build only the visuals that help the audience understand and remember. When your personal and professional brand is on display, these choices matter. A recycled slide deck may feel efficient, but it can bury the message. A story-led presentation keeps the spotlight where it belongs: on the speaker, the audience, and the idea that needs to land. Meta description: Learn how to solve the presenter's dilemma by choosing message-first storytelling over slide-heavy business presentations. Keywords: presentation slides, business presentations, storytelling, executive communication, presentation structure FAQs Should I reuse old slides for a new presentation? You can reuse old slides only after you have defined the new audience, message, and story. Starting with old slides often creates a patchwork presentation. What is the biggest mistake presenters make with slides? The biggest mistake is treating slides as the presentation instead of support for the message. The speaker, not the deck, should carry the impact. Are stories better than data in presentations? Stories and data work best together, but stories give data context and meaning. Raw numbers often need a human example or familiar comparison to become memorable. Should I use slides in a video presentation? Use fewer slides in video presentations when your presence and eye contact matter. Screen sharing can reduce the speaker to a small box and weaken impact. What kind of slides work best? Simple visual slides, especially strong photographs with little or no text, often work best. They are easy to process and leave room for the speaker's story.

Holly Fretwell introduces the wildfire crisis, noting that 80 million federal acres require urgent restoration. She argues that historical policies like the 10 a.m. suppression rule and reduced timber harvesting have created dense, flammable forests. Consequently, the Forest Service has transitioned into a "fire company," prioritizing firefighting over active silviculture. (1)1915 WILDFIRE AUSTRALIA

What does it really mean to have dense breasts—and how does breast density affect what a mammogram can see?In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with Dr. Hannah Milch, a breast-specialized radiologist at UCLA, for a clear, candid conversation about breast cancer screening, mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, and the evolving role of artificial intelligence in early detection.Dr. Milch explains why dense breast tissue is so common, why mammography remains the foundation of breast cancer screening, when supplemental imaging may be recommended, and why there is no one-size-fits-all answer for every woman. Amy and Dr. Milch also discuss the emotional reality of preventive care: what women can control, what they cannot, and how better information can help patients make more confident choices.This conversation is especially helpful for anyone wondering:What does breast density mean?Should I get an ultrasound with my mammogram?When is a breast MRI recommended?What are the limits of mammography?How could AI improve breast cancer screening?The SEAM Podcast is produced by the Lynne Cohen Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to breast and ovarian cancer prevention, early detection, and expanded access to preventive care. https://lynnecohenfoundation.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Pastor Gerrit walks through Luke 9:37-48, exploring what it looks like to follow Jesus not just in moments of spiritual highs, but in the ordinary and often messy work of loving people. Three lessons emerge from the story: disciples are called off the mountain and into ministry, real power for that ministry comes through faith and prayer rather than self-reliance, and true greatness in God's kingdom looks like humility and service rather than status. The father who brings his demon-possessed son to Jesus becomes a picture of persistent, honest faith, even when that faith feels shaky.

On this deeply personal episode of SHE MD, co-host Mary Alice Haney sits down with her lifelong best friend, Stacey Hunt, to share the story of how listening to the podcast led Stacey to advocate for herself, and ultimately, catch her breast cancer early enough to save her life.After hearing the Olivia Munn episode and learning about lifetime breast cancer risk assessments, dense breast tissue, and the importance of MRIs for high-risk women, Stacey decided to take action. Despite having a recent “clear” mammogram and no symptoms, she pushed for additional testing after learning her lifetime risk score was 28%. That MRI revealed a tiny invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; something her mammogram missed entirely.Together, Stacey, Mary Alice, and Thais Aliabadi have an emotional and eye-opening conversation about self-advocacy, early detection, dense breasts, genetic testing, the realities of a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, reconstruction options, menopause after cancer, and the emotional toll that comes with survivorship. This episode is both a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives and a call for every woman to know her lifetime risk of breast cancer.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Inspired by the podcast's conversations around breast cancer risk assessments and early detection, Stacey advocated for additional screening despite having a recent negative mammogram and no symptoms.

Chris Holman welcomes back Glenn Stevens, Jr., Executive Director of MichAuto and the Chief Automotive and Innovation Officer at the Detroit Regional Chamber, Detroit, MI. Welcome back, Glenn. A popular day in your annual cycle was earlier this week, recap how Automobility Day at the Capitol went? What are the top priorities emerging from the Automobility Policy Roadmap that business leaders should be preparing for now? How can Michigan's automotive companies better align with state policymakers to stay competitive during this election cycle? What specific policy changes would have the greatest immediate impact on growth and investment in Michigan's mobility sector? How are industry leaders balancing innovation—like EVs and mobility tech—with current economic and regulatory pressures? What does being named Legislator of the Year signal to businesses about the state's future direction on automotive policy? (and who got that honor this year)? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Watch MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ On April 21, MichAuto hosted its annual Automobility Day at the Capitol, gathering over twenty MichAuto investor companies in Lansing to meet with legislators and connect Michigan's signature industry with policymakers. Throughout the day, conversations centered on the rapid technological change in the industry, fluctuating trade policies, uncertainty around EV adoption and infrastructure, the debate over data center proliferation in the state, and a growing skills gap in the workforce. Against this backdrop, discussions highlighted the urgency of MichAuto's Automobility Policy Roadmap to keep Michigan at the forefront of automotive and mobility innovation. The conversations reinforced a shared responsibility among MichAuto, its investors, and policymakers to collaborate on policy solutions and guide the roadmap's execution over the next decade. Share your input to inform the Policy Roadmap. 2026 Automobility Day at the Capitol 2026 Legislator of the Year MichAuto also honored Sen. John Damoose (R-Harbor Springs) as its 2026 Legislator of the Year, which recognizes a state representative or senator who has made significant contributions to policy that has benefited Michigan's signature industry, while seeking bipartisan consensus. As someone who grew up in the automotive industry and whose father worked at Ford Motor Company, Damoose appreciated every second he got to hear about his dad's day at work, which ultimately laid the foundation for where he is today. Featured Web (18) Reflecting on the Michigan Senate's approval of a $3.5 billion Ford investment to build a battery plant in Marshall, Damoose said, “There is no way in the world I was going to vote against this. This is our industry. This is a quintessential American industry, but it's a quintessential Michigan industry.” He added that supporting this initiative honored his father's legacy at Ford and the industry that shaped Michigan. Key Priorities Discussed Michigan must diversify by building on its core automotive strength, not by turning its back on the industry it created. Michigan needs a long‑term, bipartisan economic development strategy, supported by transparent, reliable, and accessible incentives for startups, suppliers, OEMs, and beyond, providing certainty across political cycles. Dense proximity between OEMs and suppliers is a strategic advantage, reducing risk and cost while accelerating innovation and reinforcing the resilience of Michigan's automotive ecosystem. A strong business climate should benefit the entire economy, and companies must view investment through this lens, not solely individual bottom lines.

Dave's cows got out again.The gate was shut. Just not latched. There's a difference — a difference Dave now knows in vivid detail, courtesy of the Broken Arrow Police Department and at least one very stressed heifer on the turnpike. Nobody died. The cows are back. The neighborhood is bonded. And apparently this is just a tradition they keep at Niles Ranch and Fecundity Farm.This week Adam and Dave sat down with a glass of Dancing Panda — a straight Kentucky bourbon, eight years, 100 proof, with an unexpected apple-cinnamon finish — and got into someone most Catholics have heard of but few have actually read: St. Bonaventure.Before you dive in: Adam's daughter Mary is in the hospital. Her lungs keep deflating. The situation is hour by hour. Please pray for her.St. Bonaventure is, in a word, underrated. He was the Franciscan answer to Aquinas — less systematic, more contemplative, every bit as deep. Best friends with Thomas Aquinas. Minister General of the Franciscan Order. Seraphic Doctor. Second founder of the Franciscans. The man who, when Aquinas read his contribution to the Mass reform aloud, said "That's perfect. There's no need for mine" — and meant it.The book on the table is Holiness of Life, published by Coriaceous Press. Written to a Poor Clare nun. Short — you can finish it in an afternoon. Dense — you'll carry it for a long time after.Bonaventure lays out a ladder. Self-knowledge first. Then humility. Then poverty. Then silence. Then prayer, the remembrance of Christ's passion, perfect love of God, and final perseverance. Adam and Dave cover the first four.Self-knowledge is not a journaling exercise. It's a brutal, honest accounting of where you actually are — seeing your dignity as an image of God and your misery as a sinner, both at the same time, clearly. Bonaventure names three root causes of sin: negligence, passion, and malice. He also gives you a mirror: are your interior promptings pulling toward pleasure, curiosity, or vanity? Most of us don't have to think long.Humility follows — because you can't see yourself honestly and still puff up. Bonaventure says humility is the guardian and foundation of all virtues. To excel in virtue without humility is to carry dust before the wind. If pride is the root of every sin, humility is the root of every virtue. And Adam drops the Aquinas line that's worth writing on a wall: A man is truly wealthy when he lacks nothing that he truly needs for salvation.Poverty, in Bonaventure's framing, isn't about being broke. It's about holy detachment. The unburdening of the soul so you can actually run toward Christ. We're not trying to anchor ourselves in this world. The more you sink your teeth into worldly things, the less you can sink your soul into heavenly ones.And then silence. Not just quiet in the house — interior silence. Bonaventure says poverty and silence are twins. Those appetites you feed don't just cost you. They're loud. They lie.

"What has happened in the last few years is exploration overall has taken a little bit of a backseat. So they are starting to relook at seismic acquisition to explore new areas and solve more complex challenges." Seismic acquisition is entering a new phase where better design and smarter technology are quietly changing how we see the subsurface. New methods like full wavefield recording, DAS, and blended acquisition are not just improvements, they are opening paths to solve problems that once seemed out of reach. As the easy resources disappear and new energy needs grow, those who understand these shifts early will have a clear advantage. In this context, we are joined by Shivaji Maitra, guest editor of The Leading Edge special section on advances in seismic acquisition, whose insights help frame where the field is headed next. Read the February 2026 special section, "Advances in seismic acquisition," at https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/tle/issue/45/2. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Better acquisition leads to better decisions: The real breakthrough is not one tool, but smarter survey design that improves imaging and reduces uncertainty at the reservoir level. > Dense and full wavefield data are becoming essential: Technologies like OBN and DAS are unlocking details in complex reservoirs that were previously invisible. > Fundamentals still matter in a high-tech world: Strong physics knowledge is the hidden advantage that allows geophysicists to use AI and new tools effectively.

The evidence is in. The witnesses have testified. And now the Kouri Richins murder trial moves into its final act — closing arguments and the deliberation room where this verdict will be built or broken.Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski for Part 2 of the listener Q&A, focused on what this jury will actually do with three weeks of testimony and how this verdict is likely to take shape.Dreeke opens with deliberation psychology in a circumstantial case. No smoking gun. No confession. No direct forensic link. How do jurors move from reasonable inference to the legal standard of reasonable doubt? He maps the behavioral process of how people build and resist consensus — and what the specific contours of this case suggest about how that dynamic plays out.The forensic accountant's testimony gets examined here too. Dry. Document-heavy. Dense with loan records, failed real estate deals, and accounts reportedly running red. That kind of evidence doesn't produce the visceral reaction of testimony about fentanyl and obituaries pinned to mirrors — but Dreeke explains why financial evidence often does more durable work in the jury room than emotional testimony ever will.The defense left one thread specifically unresolved: a man who allegedly told investigators Eric sought to purchase fentanyl from another source — never followed up on. If jurors are aware of that, Dreeke explains what it does to the behavioral narrative they've been constructing.And jury instructions — handed to jurors before closing arguments — represent the architecture of how a verdict actually gets constructed. Dreeke is clear-eyed about the behavioral gap between what those instructions require and what twelve people actually do when gut feeling and legal standard don't move in the same direction.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

4. A Radical Shift in Tactics LeMay secretly develops a radical plan for low-altitude night bombing using incendiaries. Tests in Utah revealed that Tokyo's dense wooden architecture was highly flammable. Believing he might be fired if he fails, LeMay prepares for a dramatic shift in strategy without seeking approval from Washington. (13)1920 TOKYO

The Vietnam War was a conflict defined by brutality and uncertainty. Dense jungle concealed ambushes, artillery shattered the night, and young soldiers were forced to fight an enemy they could rarely see. It was a war of exhaustion, paranoia and relentless fear. Yet for some who served there, the Viet Cong were not the only threat moving through the trees. In whispered accounts that surfaced years later, they spoke of another presence in those jungles; an enemy unexplained.

Have you ever tried winter sowing… only to wonder if you were doing something wrong? In today's episode, I'm chatting with Luke from MIgardener all about winter sowing, what it is, how it works, and who it's really best for. I'll be honest with you — I haven't had success with winter sowing in my northern garden when it comes to warm-season vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. But after this conversation, I'm looking at it differently. Instead of trying to make it replace my indoor seed-starting system, I'm shifting how I'll use it this year — especially for medicinal herbs, culinary herbs, and perennials (particularly those that benefit from cold stratification). In this episode, we talk through: What winter sowing actually is Which crops thrive with this method Why warm-season crops struggle Cold stratification and why it matters How to handle watering and ventilation Dense planting tricks for lettuce How to simplify your seed-starting system If you've ever felt overwhelmed by seed-starting calendars, grow lights, and timing everything perfectly, this episode may give you a refreshing perspective. Gardening doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes we just need to work with nature instead of trying to outsmart it. And if you're growing herbs and flowers this year, you may want to give winter sowing a try right alongside me.
