Ball Technical Services specialist and culture research manager, Dr. Nathan Jahnke, joins Tech On Demand host Bill Calkins to share research-based best practices for rehydrating unrooted cuttings before sticking.   Cuttings can (and will) lose water at multiple points in the supply chain—arriving at greenhouses dehydrated by as much as 20%. As soon as harvest occurs, dehydration begins and although offshore farms have greatly improved harvest and handling processes in recent years, your young plants go through a lot before they land on your benches, ready to grow. Wilted cuttings can negatively impact production from the earliest stages, resulting in shrink and losses.   Dr. Jahnke walks growers through potential dehydration points in the supply chain and the challenges that result from dehydrated cuttings before explaining why water loss occurs and some of the ways farms are working to improve cutting hydration and handling. Then he moves quickly into ways growers can rehydrate cuttings before sticking, from good (misting) to better (dipping) to best (fogging) practices. From arrival to inspection and staging, protocols are offered to help production teams manage cuttings effectively.   RESOURCES   Article: Tech On Demand Best Management Practices for URC Hydration https://ballseed.com/PDF/TechOnDemand-URC-Hydration.pdf   Article: Rehydrating Unrooted Cuttings https://www.growertalks.com/Article/?articleid=26603   Article: Tips for Rooting Difficult or Slow-to-Root Cuttings https://www.e-gro.org/pdf/2020_904.pdf   Article: Swish-Swish—Dipping Unrooted Vegetative Cuttings to Reduce Incoming Pest Populations https://www.e-gro.org/pdf/2024-13-05.pdf   Article: Improve Your Success with Unrooted Cuttings https://www.growertalks.com/Article/?articleid=24307   Article: Stick & Die—How to Avoid It https://www.growertalks.com/Article/?articleid=25582   Article: Tech On Demand Poinsettia URC Action Guide https://ballseed.com/documents/Poinsettia-URC-Shipping-Performance-ActionGuide.pdf   Video Playlist: The Importance of Vapor Pressure Deficit https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8NX3KFjAfBn48BahYB5oaQpfb-jRy_3C&si=DXEDmuI0lNLxeq4K   Video Playlist: BMPs to Enhance Rooting Uniformity https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8NX3KFjAfBkUFpE72nX37ByIG9mjqg_o&si=giBR0RLmBDPd4cAO

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 628 Why is circumcision leaving an imprint on boys for the rest of their lives? Eric Clopper, Leading Attorney and Activist in the movement to protect children from genital mutilation, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 628, to explain why male circumcision is genital mutilation and should be considered child abuse, why the U.S. must expand the laws to protect both male and female children from genital mutilation, and how his law firm, CLOPPER LAW, is planning to launch historic constitutional challenges to ensure that ALL children are protected. "The first sexual experience of most American and Jewish men is that they are sexually stimulated and then they feel the worst pain that they will probably feel in their entire life, as the most erogenous part of their body is crushed and amputated. It is not only an active mutilation of the penis, but it also causes an incredible myriad of complications which can include the loss of the entire penis or the death of the child." - Eric Clopper Support Eric Clopper's Nonprofit Intact Global, Inc., The Premier Nonprofit Dedicated to Ending Infant Genital Mutilation Go to www.clopper.com/donate Potential plaintiffs, collaborating lawyers, and donors may also email Eric Clopper directly at eric@clopper.com with questions, comments, and suggestions. In This Episode, Eric Clopper Uncovers: [01:30] Circumcision Is Genital Mutilation Eric Clopper Criminal cutting: break the circumcision taboo and end male general genital mutilation with Eric Clopper Sex & Circumcision: An American Love Story by Eric Clopper What brought Eric to start talking about circumcision. Why people don't want to approach the topic. Mutilation doesn't allow you to have a connection with your physical being. Circumcision is a man's first sexual experience as a baby. Genital mutilation will affect you for the rest of your life. [09:45] Do Babies NOT Have Human Rights? The new law will mandate consent laws for circumcision. How the word circumcision is a shield for mutilation. Religious rites are not the same as human rights. Parents have to push aside their impulse to protect their children when they're being mutilated. How Jewish people's profound trauma causes them to perceive radical change as a threat to their existence. [16:10] The Collective Lie The dark side of fathers wanting their sons to look like them. Circumcision is a collective lie America bought into. It's uncomfortable for men to address the problem because it was done to them. [20:25] Genital Mutilation = Sexual Violence Why circumcision is an unconscious addiction to shame. American Circumcision (2017) Those who have been abused are more likely to abuse their children to justify what happened to them. Men are traumatized right at the beginning of their lives. If you cannot handle seeing a baby get circumcised, it should be a sign that it's wrong. Why it's difficult for men to deal with the emotions around genital mutilation. [28:10] Denial of The Truth Why Josh decided not to circumcise his son. How Eric's father dismissed what he learned about circumcision. Why he stopped talking to his father after he found out his father didn't want to accept the truth. Many people don't want to address the truth. [32:35] Circumcision Is An Evil Religious Tradition Most religions disconnect people. Local rabbi accused of infecting babies with herpes Child mutilation is an act of anti-semitism. Why babies died during or after circumcision in the past. Sucking blood out of babies' penises is a new practice. [37:35] Healing The Trauma from Genital Mutilation 120 million people have been mutilated without their consent when they were children. The first stage of healing trauma is awareness. The correlation between the nations that support circumcision and war. [42:50] Circumcision in the United States Why genital mutilation is accepted in men in Western culture. The reason why there's not enough empathy for men. How Eric and his law firm are aiming to make circumcision illegal. The way he processed his emotions around male mutilation. How the head of the penis is similar to the eye. 50% of men get circumcised in the United States. [50:40] Expansion of Consciousness You need courage to allow yourself to become aware. Individual VS societal healing. How Eric felt dark energy around circumcision since he was a young kid. People don't want to deal with the mutilation trauma. [57:45] Some Traditions Need to Die How traditions are passed onto new generations even though they don't have a valid reason to exist. Why Jewish men place a lot of importance on genital mutilation. Mutilation is a psychological delusion. How the law discriminated against genital mutilation based on gender. How informed consent is abused. What Eric's law firm is trying to achieve. [01:06:55] How Circumcision is Monetized Circumcision is a violation of a child's right to autonomy and physical integrity. How circumcision is monetized by the medical system. High Cost of Circumcision $5.7 Billion Annually The American Academy of Pediatrics views have been scientifically untenable. Circumcision can cause a complete loss of the penis or death of the child. Why foreskin is harvested to be used in cosmetics. Beauty Industry Part of Foreskin Flesh Trade, Anti-Circumcision Activists Warn [01:14:15] Don't Stay in The Victim Mindset Why people get stuck in the sadness so they can't move on to the anger. How playing a victim provides people with a feeling of justification. Why the Jewish tradition of genital mutilation is supported by people. [01:17:55] It's All About The Money Why Eric has been getting censored by large institutions. If you want to maintain a status quo, you can't offend anybody. Why people sacrifice their principles for money. [01:24:30] Being Driven By Rage Why fighting against something feeds its power. What motivated him to apply to law school. It's not sustainable to be driven by rage. How Eric's helping people to make better decisions for their children. [01:30:45] The Theft of Innocence Men are viewed as success objects and women as sex objects. When men are treated better, they treat others better. The importance of addressing how you enter the world. Liberated Life Community [01:37:35] Follow Your Dharma How advocating for children's safety became Eric's dharma. The personal struggles he had to face because of circumcision. It's easier to raise healthy and strong children than to repair broken men. How his work is a contribution to the collective consciousness. [01:43:40] The Manifestation of Evil on Earth How circumcision is connected to the patriarchy. Why religions care about what is most profitable. What makes people believe that rich people are evil. Why Eric's trying to figure out how to make circumcision non-profitable. It's not worth living in fear. [01:51:10] Harming Boys As Sexual Oppression John Harvey Kellogg 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs John Harvey Kellogg advocated for circumcision so that boys associate sex with pain. Why the U.S. adopted circumcision to prevent boys from masturbation. The challenge of stepping into the role of a father. [02:00:30] Religion + Censorship Five censored facts about circumcision. How elitism shows up in religion. Why Eric thought being Jewish was a symbol of superiority when he was a teenager. How he realized circumcision was an evil act. How people label certain things as antisemitic. Why you're not supposed to apply lotion to masturbate. [02:09:10] Foreskin Is an Essential Part of The Male Body How science tries to deny God. Pharmaceutical companies are motivated by profits. Many people who circumcise children are barbers. Why foreskin is an important part of the penis. How foreskin allows for more pleasure for both men and women. The U.S. media continues to feed us the circumcision ideology. Why Eric finds it offensive that our tax money is used to support circumcision. [02:20:30] Male VS Female Circumcision + Sexuality Male and female circumcision are identical. How men are being told uncircumcised penis is abnormal. The female and male genital tissue is the same. How sexuality has been tainted by trauma. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Masturbation Prevention "John Harvey Kellogg said we need to circumcise our kids to prevent self-abuse, aka masturbation, so the child forever associates sexual pleasure with pain." - Eric Clopper Our Swords Are Unsheathed "As men, our swords are unsheathed. We're always irritated and ready for war. If you look at the Middle East, that's almost an entire genital mutilating area and they're the ones in chronic wars. Because if you abuse or inflict violence on your men, you're going to damage these individuals and they will in turn be damaged and damage others, including women." - Eric Clopper Metzitzah B'peh "Before the 1800s, a mohel would use his sharpened fingernails to shred the foreskin off of a child and some of the babies would bleed out and die. So rabbis instituted a new practice called Metzitzah B'peh sucking, which is after they'd shred the infant's genitals, they would suck on the bleeding penis. The thought behind it was if you get a cut, you may suck on it to stop it bleeding. But it seems overtly sexual to me to perform bloody fellatio on an infant. It's horrific, it's disgusting, and it spreads diseases and kills infants." - Eric Clopper Links From Today's Show  Eric Clopper Criminal cutting: break the circumcision taboo and end male general genital mutilation with Eric Clopper Sex & Circumcision: An American Love Story by Eric Clopper American Circumcision (2017) Local rabbi accused of infecting babies with herpes High Cost of Circumcision $5.7 Billion Annually Beauty Industry Part of Foreskin Flesh Trade, Anti-Circumcision Activists Warn Liberated Life Community John Harvey Kellogg 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs ❄️ Biohack Your Mind & Body with Plunge Ice Baths!

(14:25) What are "misbeliefs" and the importance of knowing the origin story of the misbeliefs of your main character. (19:20) The art of writing is to take what is inchoate ... and put it into language. (25:35) Story structure is a byproduct of a story well told. And the story polishes the prose, not the other way around. (30:01) Story is story, whether you're writing nonfiction, a memoir, or fiction.

This is: Speculation on Current Opportunities for Unusually High Impact in Global Health, published by johnswentworth on November 11, 2022 on LessWrong. Epistemic Status: armchair speculation from a non-expert. Short version: I expect things to get pretty bad in the Sahel region over the next year in particular. The area is an obvious target for global health interventions even in good times, and impact is presumably higher in bad times. A simple baseline intervention: fill a backpack with antibiotics, fly to the region, and travel around distributing the antibiotics. What's The “Sahel” Region? The Sahel is a semi-arid region along the southern edge of the Sahara desert. Think roughly Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan. Bad How? Based on statistics on the Sahel, it's one of the few remaining regions on Earth where the population is near Malthusian equilibrium. Fertility is high, contraception is rare; about half the population is under age 16. Infant mortality is around 6-8%, and ~a quarter of children are underweight. (Source: CIA World Factbook entries on Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan.) Being near Malthusian equilibrium means that, when there's an economic downturn, a substantial chunk of the population dies. Die How? Traditional wisdom says: war, famine, disease. In this case, I'd expect famine to be the main instigator. Empty bellies then induce both violence and weak immune systems. On priors, I'd expect infectious disease to be the main proximate killer. The Next Year In Particular? The global economy has been looking rough, between the war in Ukraine shocking oil and food markets, and continuing post-Covid stagflation. Based on pulling a number out of my ass without looking at any statistics, I'd guess deaths from violence, starvation, and disease in the Sahel region will each be up an order of magnitude this year/next year compared to a good year (e.g. the first-quartile best year in the past decade). That said, the intervention we'll talk about is probably decently impactful even in a good year. So What's To Be Done? Just off the top of my head, one obvious baseline plan is: Fill a hiking backpack with antibiotics (buy them somewhere cheap!) Fly to N'Djamena or take a ferry to Timbuktu Obtain a motorbike or boat Travel around giving away antibiotics until you run out Repeat Note that you could, of course, substitute something else for "antibiotics" - maybe vitamins or antifungals or water purification tablets or iron supplements or some mix of those is higher marginal value. There are some possibly-nonobvious considerations here. First, we can safely assume that governments in the area are thoroughly corrupt at every level, and presumably the same goes for non-government bureaucracies; trying to route through a local bureaucratic machine is a recipe for failure. Thus, the importance of being physically present and physically distributing things oneself. On the other hand, physical safety is an issue, even more so if local food insecurity induces local violence or civil war. (That said, lots of Westerners these days act like they'll be immediately assaulted the moment they step into a “bad neighborhood” at night. Remember, folks, the vast majority of the locals are friendly the vast majority of the time, especially if you're going around obviously helping people. You don't need to be completely terrified of foreign territory. But, like, don't be completely naive about it either.) Also, it is important to explain what antibiotics are for and how to use them, and there will probably be language barriers. Literacy in these regions tends to be below 50%, and presumably the rural regions which most need the antibiotics also have the lowest literacy rates. How Much Impact? I'm not going to go all the way to estimating QALYs/$ here, but. according to this source, the antibiotic impor...

If you haven’t taken your business digital at this point, especially after the craziness of 2020, then it’s safe to say you are hurting your business more than helping it. However, digital marketing is a broad statement, and to do it right you’ll have to hone in on specific strategies and techniques that actually move the needle to where you want your business to be. You might be asking yourself, “Do I need to use social media? Do I need to be on Google? Should I actually be shooting videos about my life?” Yes, yes, and yes, but how you actually execute online is what clearly sets you apart from the competition. Geoff Zimpfer has been in real estate since 2003, through the ups and downs of the market in the last 2 decades, and if there’s one thing he’s taken away from the industry shift, it’s that digital initiatives, or the lack thereof, will make or break your business. Starting out as a mortgage originator in Orange County, CA, Geoff learned the ins and outs of the mortgage business. Fast forward to now, and he’s a national sales trainer and coach, helping other lenders, brokers and agents navigate the mind field of digital marketing. In 2020 he then compiled all this knowledge into a book, Disrupt or Die | How to Survive and Thrive the Digital Real Estate Shift. On this podcast, Geoff and I chat about the importance of having a digital presence, and why the personal side of marketing is more important than ever for anyone in real estate. He walks us through the top five ways to build rapport with a potential client before even meeting them, and how to determine which strategies will work best for your goals (you can’t choose them all!) Tune in this week to hear all about the strategies that are actually converting in 2021 and how you can use them to achieve highest and best results for your business. Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode The importance of having multiple marketing streams The worst kind of marketing is one. Having only one stream of business is a huge vulnerability to your business. We’ll talk about why and how to diversify your streams of marketing. What marketing strategies actually work for YOU Not every strategy is one size fits all, and you must determine which is most effective, comfortable and convenient for your business. If you try to do everything you’ll spread yourself too thin, with only one strategy you’ll short yourself on opportunities. We’ll talk about how to determine which strategies to dive into, and how those can work for you. How to ‘own the search’ for your city I’m sure you’ve heard the term of ‘digital mayor’, but how do you actually do that? We’ll walk you through how to create authoritative content on YouTube, Google, and other platforms that will get you seen by anyone looking to learn more about real estate in your city.

Story or Die Whether you’re pitching a product, saving the planet, or convincing your kids not to text and drive, story isn’t just one way to persuade. It’s the way. It’s built into the architecture of the brain, and has been since early humans gathered around the camp fire, trying to figure out how to outsmart the lion next door. This is a fascinating conversation with Lisa Cron discussing the topic of her book story. Guest Bio.

Dr. Michael Greger is on a mission to give people information on how to live their healthiest lives.  The obesity pandemic in North America and globally is quickly escalating and Dr. Greger hs the most comprehensive book on evidence-based weight loss, the psychology behind our interpretation of how many calories are in food, and the danger of quick fixes like weight loss surgeries and diet pills.  He also has the healthiest and easiest foods to add to your diet to help burn more fat. "It turns out a calorie is not just a calorie. 100 calories of chickpeas is a different impact on the body than chicken or chicklets, based in part on different effects on their impact of absorption, appetite or microbiomes.  Different foods can rev up your appetite for example. It's not just what you eat, it's what you absorb.  Fiber, for example, in whole intact plant foods can trap calories, flush them out the other end. And even if you do eat and absorb the same number of calories. A calorie still may not be a calorie. The same number calories eaten at a different time of day, in a different meal distribution, or after different amounts of sleep can translate into different amounts of body fat." -Dr. Micheal Greger "Obesity is one of today's most blatantly visible – yet most neglected – public health problems. Paradoxically coexisting with undernutrition, an escalating global epidemic of overweight and obesity – “globesity” – is taking over many parts of the world. If immediate action is not taken, millions will suffer from an array of serious health disorders."  -WHO But here's the thing, weight loss is really hard for most people.  The food industry makes sure that their high calorie, low nutrient foods are highly addictive.  Many Americans are nutritionally bankrupt.  And weight loss?  People will do anything, including surgery and reaching for diet pills that actually are not effective or safe.  Enter the book How Not to Diet by Dr. Michael Greger. You may have heard my previous episode with Dr. Greger about his book How Not to Die and of his incredible organization, NutritionFacts.org.  If you aren't familiar with Dr. Greger, the man has more energy than anyone I've ever seen. Between the hundreds of the latest nutrition research videos on NutritionFacts.org, writing a book every 2-3 years, and spending most of his time on the road speaking about nutrition, he is a busy guy.   He is a medical doctor, a New York Times Best-Selling Author, and internationally acclaimed speaker.  NutritionFacts.org is a public service to give people the information they need to lead the healthiest, disease-free lives possible through evidence-based nutrition. He also recently released the book How Survive a Pandemic and has been releasing videos about COVID-19 that have been helpful and interesting on NutritionFacts.org.
