A client was paying $3 to $6 per click on their Meta ads with a 0.98 ROAS. Two weeks after changing how they prompt AI for ad creative, they're at a $1.05 cost per click and a 2.08 ROAS, with a break-even of 1.69. Same product, same team, completely different creative process.In this episode, Josh and Dylan break down the exact AI creative workflow Dylan built with that client in person at our mastermind, and why most AI-generated ads come out looking like everybody else's.Inside this episode:The "blah blah blah prompt" that starts the whole process (and why Dylan kept telling the client "more, give me more" until it felt asinine)Why AI is trained on generics, and how doing 10% more thinking than everyone else gets you 100% better outputThe 34 inputs that went into one prompt: 10 pieces of deep product info, 10 reasons people buy, and 14 situations they'd use it inWhy you should have Claude write the ChatGPT prompt instead of writing it yourselfThe ad education section almost every prompt is missing (Claude is not a Meta ads expert, and if you listen to this show you already know more than it does)How to use Atria to pull visual diversity from brands in industries nothing like yours, plus the exact brands Dylan starts withWhy Dylan generated nine creatives for this client and only ran sixThe one line to add at the end of every prompt that changes what the AI gives backThe ethical dilemma of AI creative, and how to run this process even if you never publish an AI-generated imageThis isn't a shortcut for skipping the work. It's the opposite. The brands pulling 2 to 3 times the creative volume and performance out of AI are the ones doing more thinking up front, not less. If your ChatGPT creatives have been coming back flat, this is the missing step.
Jim McTague reports Lancaster County's diverse economy—spanning tourism, agriculture, light manufacturing, and healthcare—is showing signs of notable resilience. While heavy July rains and high fuel costs temporarily slowed business, economic activity stabilized in August. Local tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village report strong traffic, attracting over a million visitors annually with unique local goods and food. Lower gasoline prices have also arrived just in time to boost back-to-school shopping. Meanwhile, high inflation is driving steady consumer traffic to Costco for essentials, and local hotels remain heavily booked on weekends through October. (4)
Vitalize Seed, Grandpa Ray Outdoors, Northwoods Whitetail, Real World Wildlife Products In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses the importance of land management and food plot strategies with various experts. The conversation emphasizes the significance of plant diversity and species interaction in creating effective food plots that attract deer. Experts share insights on the ideal blends of plants, the role of soil health, and the benefits of diverse plantings for both deer attraction and ecological balance. The episode provides practical advice for hunters and land managers looking to optimize their hunting properties. Takeaways The best time to consult on land management is before hunting season. Plant diversity enhances food plot effectiveness and deer attraction. Different plants can complement each other biologically in food plots. Soil health is crucial for maintaining productive food plots. Diverse blends can extend the attractiveness of food plots throughout the season. Understanding plant interactions is key to successful food plot management. Annual clovers can provide benefits similar to biennials in certain conditions. Healthy soil should always have something growing to support microbial life. Diversity in food plots can help balance deer diets and improve herd health. Using the right planting techniques is essential for maximizing germination rates.

Ever wondered if your greenhouse control system is actually helping—or if it's leaving you in the dark about your energy bills? I've been there, and that's exactly what we dig into in this episode.Joining me are Neda, CEO and co-founder of Microclimates, and Gretchen, Executive Director at the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering Consortium at Cornell, whose combined expertise covers everything from cutting-edge environmental controls to energy efficiency in controlled environment agriculture. Neda has an extensive background in developing technologies that empower growers with actionable data, while Gretchen brings years of research experience with leading universities and utility-backed initiatives in optimizing greenhouse lighting and automation.This episode unpacks the real-world findings from the CalNEX Project—a first-of-its-kind scientific study focused on the impact of smart environmental monitoring and controls in California greenhouses. We compare “smart” and “smarter” systems, revealing surprising industry gaps in environmental data collection, misunderstood overhead costs, and how simple steps can lead to significant energy savings and business sustainability.Beyond the results, we chat about practical steps for adopting automation without ripping out your current systems, new open-platform sensor trends, the reality (and future) of AI in controlled ag, and why a phased, data-driven approach will be key for small and large growers alike. If you're daunted by all the talk of sensors, integration, or AI, consider this the guide to understanding what actually matters—and what you can do today.Curious if you're missing an easy win in your farm's energy management, or want a reality check on all the AI hype?

The projects Gretchen mentioned, every site had something different… Our job wasn't to go in and just say, rip everything out for this control study and start over because we want to collect the data. It was really to take a look at what do you currently have, how can we complement that with adding more environmental insight, environmental visibility to that operation, and is there a way that we can integrate what you currently have?" "I'd say the biggest surprise and biggest lesson was that they didn't have enough environmental visibility. A lot of these operations had maybe one temperature humidity sensor hanging in the middle of the room representing the entire greenhouse or a section of the greenhouse. Your control system is only as good as the information it's taking in, like the input, right?""If you don't have the thousands of data points, if you can't summarize the trends, if you can't make any recommendations and alerts, and you can't generate those reports based on the thousand data points, how is this AI going to actually get to know you?... First of all, we have to step back and say, are operators actually collecting data? We already said early on in this conversation they are, but they don't have enough environmental visibility, which means they actually are not collecting enough data."Resources MentionedWebsite - www.microclimates.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Microclimates-IncInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/microclimatesFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/microclimates.incLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/microclimatesLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gschimelpfenig/Resource Innovation Institute - https://resourceinnovation.org/ Microclimates - https://microclimates.com/ Priva Control Systems - https://www.priva.com/Ritter Greenhouse Automation - https://rittergreenhouse.com/Connect With UsVFP LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/verticalfarmingpodcastVFP Twitter - https://twitter.com/VerticalFarmPodVFP Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/VFP Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/VerticalFarmPodSubscribe to our newsletters!AgTech Digest - https://agtechdigest.comThe Indoor Farmer - https://www.indoorverticalfarm.com/Horti-Gen Insights - https://www.hortigeninsights.com/
Episode Summary Senior IT change and adoption consultant Janie McNeil joins host Justin Lake to talk about why new technology so often goes unused, and what it actually takes to change that. She makes the case that adoption is a people problem long before it's a technology problem: when workers aren't brought in early, tools that cost millions sit idle and the damage trickles downstream for months. Janie digs into using data to prove adoption is working, why frontline teams learn by doing and watching rather than reading dense documentation, and why change management and learning teams get the best results when they're pulled in from the start instead of the eleventh hour. She closes on AI, arguing that the way to get people to embrace it is to show them their worth, not warn them about restructuring, and she shares a simple task list anyone can use to see where AI helps and where a human is still the answer. It's a practical, empathetic look at keeping people at the center of technological change. Key Topics The operational cost of poor technology adoption Downstream effects of adoption failure Bringing change management in early Measuring adoption with data The product manager's role in system success How frontline workers actually learn Change management and L&D working together Building trust to get involved sooner Supporting AI adoption without fear Episode Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the episode and guest 00:30 Janie McNeil's background and expertise 01:02 The operational impact of failed technology adoption 01:35 The importance of early stakeholder engagement 02:00 The cost of unused tools and systems 02:47 Downstream effects of poor adoption 03:25 The prolonged impact of adoption issues 04:25 Measuring adoption through metrics and data 05:24 The role of product managers in system success 06:21 Aligning success metrics with organizational goals 07:17 The importance of user behavior and process adherence 08:00 Challenges faced by product managers 09:07 Diverse user groups and their needs 10:01 Including change management early in projects 11:12 The late involvement of change management teams 12:24 The undervaluation of change management 13:32 The power of data literacy in adoption 14:54 Using data storytelling to demonstrate value 16:04 Microsoft's investments in adoption tools 18:06 The ongoing challenge of software adoption 19:50 Supporting frontline workers through community and education 22:21 Effective learning methods for frontline teams 24:36 The strategic role of L&D and change management 26:43 Defining responsibilities of change management vs. L&D 28:45 Streamlining project delivery with integrated teams 30:56 The risks of delaying documentation and training 32:40 Building relationships and trust in change initiatives 36:50 Managing overwhelm and delegation in change projects 39:03 Supporting AI adoption and addressing fears 44:52 The importance of human value in technological change 47:02 Embracing AI as a tool for growth and development 48:38 Closing remarks and key takeaways About Janie McNeil Janie McNeil is a senior IT change and adoption consultant who helps organizations turn new technology into lasting behavior change, working at the intersection of people and the tools meant to support them.

Nick Lloyd surveys the diverse personalities of the French high command, beginning with Joseph Joffre, whose "earthiness" and calm "gravitas" were essential in absorbing the shock of the 1914 German invasion. While Joffre provided stability, the war also saw the meteoric rise and subsequent failure of Robert Nivelle, an artillery officer whose overconfidence in a "magic touch" led to the disastrous Nivelle Offensive in 1917. Following Nivelle, Philippe Pétainemerged as a "savior of France," noted for his deep connection to his troops and his refusal to sacrifice them in impossible situations. Finally, the narrative introduces Ferdinand Foch, the "Eisenhower of the first war," who possessed the energetic spirit and diplomatic skill to coordinate the multinational forces of the British, Americans, and French toward final victory in 1918. These leaders highlight the internal French struggle to reassert political primacy over military dictatorships while enduring outsized sacrifices on their own soil. (4)1914
Evan Ellis examines Mexico's economy, increasingly integrated into the American market and moving beyond oil into diverse manufacturing sectors. Despite Trump administration objections to the USMCA, the treaty includes provisions requiring a ten-year exit process. Current negotiations reflect tensions over Chinese inputs, automotive tariffs, and labor standards. President Claudia Sheinbaum manages these diplomatic challenges while cooperating with the US on extradition, drug lab seizures, and stemming illegal immigration through Mexican territory.

Sabine Botha left her home in South Africa, rejecting its apartheid and studied at Oxford and in Germany, ending with a smorgasbord of subjects. This turned out to be ideal for her present position at Arizona State University, leading a team pioneering work in newly designed laboratories where vast lasers and X-rays are used to reveal the structures of drugs and new materials in the field of analysis.
Effective leadership requires the ability to bring together individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. In this blog post, Evan Alicuben, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, reflects on a recent STS Leadership Institute session on leading diverse teams and implicit bias, where case-based discussions with peers explored practical approaches to fostering inclusion and navigating challenging workplace situations. Dr. Alicuben writes, "Only by purposefully leading will we bring success to a diverse team."
Yascha Mounk and Claude Steele discuss why diversity can produce anxiety—and how it differs from prejudice. Claude Steele is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University. His latest book is Churn: The Absurd Abyss of Race in America. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Claude Steele discuss why diversity produces psychological tension even in the absence of explicit prejudice, whether American schools are truly as racially segregated today as they were in the 1950s, and how the fear of being stereotyped affects both minority and majority group members in integrated settings.

In this episode, host Mike Horne talks with returning guest Norm Jones, CEO of Integrated Diversity, about how organizations can move beyond surface-level diversity metrics to create truly inclusive cultures that drive performance and sustainability. Discover actionable strategies to embed DEI into core business processes and decision-making. Key Points: Organizations often misunderstand diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and how it enhances core work. It is crucial to integrate DEI into organizational strategy rather than treating it as peripheral or separate initiatives. Focusing solely on demographic representation can hinder real inclusion and cultural shifts. Diverse perspectives have the transformative power to enhance organizational culture and innovation. Inclusion should be viewed as a journey rather than a static goal, emphasizing ongoing reflection and adaptation. Leaders can take immediate actions, such as fostering conversations about wants and needs at work, to strengthen relationships and performance.

In this episode of Risky Conversations, I interviewed my good friend and literary agent Kat Kerr about her unconventional path from Florida state government to championing marginalized voices in publishing. Kat shares how her childhood love of books, early encounters with racism, and a mid-career pivot led her into advocacy-driven literary agenting and involvement with programs like We Need Diverse Books. Together, we talk about some of our favorite Asian American authors, why representation in literature matters, the realities of the publishing industry (including agents, querying, and self-publishing), and what it really takes to take bold risks for your career, your values, and your family.You'll learn: Why diverse representation of marginalized voices is not a luxury, but foundational to empathy, identity, and genuine human connectionHow advocacy and self-advocacy are learned, practiced skills—and what mindsets make it possible to speak up when it feels riskyHow Kat's decision to speak up boldly against bigoted remarks in high school created a ripple effect that emboldened other students of color to advocate for themselvesHow traditional publishing, self-publishing, and hybrid models are different and how authors can make informed business choices that fit their goals and resourcesHow taking big, values-aligned risks (for your family, identity, and justice) reshape your career and your life, even when success isn't guaranteedWhy building or joining supportive communities—like We Need Diverse Books or identity-centered indie bookstores—matter so much for writers and readers from marginalized backgroundsFeatured: Kat's agency, Donald Maass Literary Agency: https://maassagency.com/Yu & Me Bookstore in NYC: https://yuandmebooks.com/Jamie's coaching practice https://www.JamieLeeCoach.com/Text me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

Welcome to In Reality, the podcast about truth, disinformation andthe media with host Eric Schurenberg, long time journalist,now the founder of the Alliance for Trust in Media.Over the years, he's interviewed a number of people from the so-called bridge-building community. They've been researchers likeMatt Levendusky of University of Pennsylvania, Journalists likeAmanda Ripley, bridge builders like Monica Guzman, allconvinced that things would be better if Americans could just stopdemonizing their neighbors. Let's stipulate that's a worthy goal.Still, all of these movements face a similar problem: How do youscale listening skills? How long do the effects of civilconversations across political divides actually last?I'll put those questions to today's guests, Malka Kopell and PalmaStrand, the founders of 13-year old Civity.org.

Strand came to Civity after a career it law, teaching lawat Creighton University and the University of Marland andclerking for, among others, Supreme Court justice Byron White.The Civity insight is that relationships are key to building trust andtrust is fundamental to getting things done in a diverse society.Civity's recipe is to train local leaders—from mayors to citycouncils and nonprofit directors —to build relationships beforetackling contentious issues.It sounds great, but perhaps still subject to the issues of scale andpersistence facing all bridge builders.

John Sadler's coming up 72 next birthday and can look back on a fascinating career. He's possibly more content currently than he's ever been, working a team of just thirty horses at the widely lauded Pakenham training centre. Half the team are pre-trainers for good friends, the other half racehorses owned by valued clients old and new. It hasn't been all beer and skittles for the Terang born trainer with recurring bouts of depression and one unfortunate run in with a senior steward during the infamous Aquanita Racing scandal that came to light in 2017. That misdemeanour cost John six weeks on the sidelines. You'll hear his side of the story on the upcoming podcast. John begins by acknowledging the merits of the state of the art Pakenham training precinct. He talks about his team of thirty horses and the pre-training support given him by fellow trainers. The veteran horseman talks of life on the farm at Terang in the 1950's. John talks of Terang's history in both thoroughbred and harness racing. He pays tribute to his remarkable parents Lindsay and Mary. His father died in 1993 at 95 years of age. His mother stayed around for much longer. John remembers friendships formed in schooldays that would introduce him to the racing game. He talks of the modest start he made as a trainer on the small property he'd purchased at Colac. John reflects on his very first win as a trainer and the unforgettable thrill of his maiden metropolitan win. You'll enjoy the trainer's reminiscences about the ageless Pressman's Choice and the betting plunge he landed with the horse in the 1991 Hamilton Cup. Few knew what dire financial straits he was in at the time. John fondly remembers his very first Gr 1 win with Jolly Old Mac. The trainer acknowledges the talents of Kenvain and Lady Jakeo, a star two year old filly of the early 90's. He hasn't forgotten the surprise phone call from jockey Greg Hall which led to an exciting overseas training stint. On returning to Melbourne after his 4 year Dubai experience, John received an unexpected offer from leviathan owner Lloyd Williams. He became private trainer for Williams from Flemington to begin with, and later from the owners' lavish Macedon Lodge training operation. John has one small regret about the Macedon Lodge experience revolving around Melbourne Cup winner Efficient. When his arrangement with Macedon Lodge ran its course, John opted to team up with young trainer Troy Corstens at Flemington under the Malua Racing banner. The four year partnership was both successful and harmonious. John relates the amazing story of a new Swedish owner and the acquisition of Linton, a horse he knew well from the Macedon Lodge days. A Gr 1 success would follow. He was more than happy to talk about his recurring battles with depression. He was able to bounce back from several low periods. Today, with the right advice and continued treatment he's on top of the problem. John looks back on the infamous Aquanita Racing scandal which resulted in multiple disqualifications. His horses were stabled in the same barn which would later bring him unwanted “fall-out”. It all came to a head when a senior steward scratched one of John's horses from a Gr 3 race. His subsequent outburst resulted in a six week suspension. He talks of two marriages and seven children, two of whom are heavily involved in racing- Tom as a jockey and trainer, Edward as race caller and TV presenter. We conclude the podcast by pressuring John to nominate a horse or two from his current team likely to visit the winner's circle in the near future. He suggests two mares who are already multiple winners, but far from finished yet. An enjoyable chat with one of Victoria's most respected horsemen. John Sadler tells it as it is.
In today's episode we're talking about Florida's state freshwater fish, the Florida bass. We will discuss why it's no longer called the largemouth bass, where they can be found, how they survive and support our freshwater ecosystems and more.

What does it mean to build products that truly work for everyone — including the people most systems were never designed to include? Debbie Hsu, EVP of Product at Experian Consumer Services, joins Toni for a conversation that spans the full arc of her career — from software engineer at Oracle to leading product at one of the world's most significant consumer financial data companies — and gets into some of the most important questions facing product leaders today. Debbie leads the evolution of EVA, Experian's AI-powered virtual assistant, and brings a consumer-first lens to everything she builds. In this episode she shares how AI is changing team structures and role boundaries in product, why over-reliance on AI risks making every product look and sound the same, and what the socioeconomic stakes of AI access mean for product leaders who care about inclusion. She also shares three pieces of advice that I see as foundational to leading: Being humble is not the same as being invisible. Self-advocacy is not the same as bragging. And never let an official meeting be the first time people hear about your idea. What we cover: ⏹ The unplanned path from software engineer to EVP of Product — and what learning by doing really looks like ⏹ Why Debbie went back to business school to pivot into product management — and what actually landed her the job ⏹ How product leadership has evolved over 20 years: from Flash-based seat maps to AI-powered financial assistants ⏹ T-shaped builders and the blurring of roles in the AI era — what this means for product teams right now ⏹ The AI homogeneity risk: why over-reliance on AI makes products look and sound the same — and what differentiates the ones that don't ⏹ EVA: how Experian's AI assistant uses trusted credit data, expert compliance, and lender eligibility to go beyond generic AI responses ⏹ AI access as a socioeconomic equity issue — and why product leaders need to be part of this conversation ⏹ Financial inclusion and credit invisibility: what it means to build products for people the system overlooked ⏹ Being humble is not the same as being invisible ⏹ Self-advocacy is not bragging — and why visibility for meaningful work is a leadership skill ⏹ Never let an official meeting be the first time people hear your idea ⏹ Diverse voices in product: why every product leader has a responsibility to build inclusively Useful Links Connect with today's guest and sponsor, Debbie on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbie-hsu/ and find out more about Experian at https://www.experian.com.

Marco Pautasso"Lungo Mare di Libri"www.lungomaredilibri.itStorie, culture, geografie e conoscenze si dispiegano e si intrecciano come trame, in un mondo sempre più complesso e in rapido mutamento: sarà “Le trame del mondo”, il tema filo conduttore della sesta edizione di Lungomare di Libri a BariLa manifestazione letteraria che trasforma il capoluogo pugliese in una grande libreria a cielo aperto affacciata sul mare – grazie al lavoro dei librai – e in una fiera dell'editoria indipendente pugliese – grazie agli editori del territorio – si svolgerà da venerdì 17 a domenica 19 luglio 2026.Si snoderà, come da tradizione, lungo la muraglia sul mare (via Venezia) e nei luoghi simbolo della città, dove troveranno spazio librerie, case editrici e le aree dedicate agli appuntamenti: da Piazza del Ferrarese al Fortino Sant'Antonio, fino a Largo Vito Maurogiovanni, dall'ex Mercato del Pesce allo Spazio Murat.Al centro della manifestazione l'idea del libro come strumento essenziale per orientarsi nella realtà, mappa indispensabile per decifrare il presente, attraverso l'intreccio di racconti, riflessioni, analisi e prospettive. Librai ed editori, indispensabili tessitori di storie, contribuiscono a rendere il festival un luogo di scoperta e condivisione, uno spazio vivo di incontro e confronto e, soprattutto, un presidio di resistenza culturale, dove il libro diventa un bene comune.Diverse saranno le tipologie di incontri che animeranno la manifestazione. Dialoghi, presentazioni editoriali di romanzi e saggi, reading, momenti di approfondimento, attività per bambine e bambini e consigli di lettura si alterneranno nell'arco di tre giorni, dal pomeriggio alla sera inoltrata, con proposte che traggono ispirazione non solo dal tema “Le trame del mondo”, ma anche dalle più recenti novità editoriali di saggistica e narrativa.Tra le ospiti e gli ospiti attesi sul lungomare barese: Ascanio Celestini con il nuovo libro “Pasolini. Una vita, anzi due” (Laterza); Matteo Bussola con il nuovo romanzo “Il sole nelle pozzanghere” (Einaudi); Farian Sabahi con un incontro dedicato alla situazione in Iran e un omaggio all'illustratrice Marjane Satrapi; Matteo Lancini autore del saggio “Chiamami adulto. Come stare in relazione con gli adolescenti” (Raffaello Cortina); Mario Del Pero con "Buio americano. Gli Stati Uniti e il mondo nell'era Trump” (Il Mulino); Leo Ortolani con il graphic novel “Tapum” (Feltrinelli Comics); Ivan Cotroneo, autore di “Grande” (La Nave di Teseo); Giovanni Semi con il saggio “È il capitalismo, bellezza. L'estetica all'assalto delle città” (Einaudi); Nadeesha Uyangoda con "Acqua sporca" (Einaudi); Antonio Vassallo con il romanzo di testimonianza “Negli occhi di Giovanni. Storia di un ragazzo di Capaci” (Il Castoro); Damiano Rizzi con il saggio "Adolescenza, parliamone. Educare all'amore per disarmare la violenza" (Piemme); Michele Emiliano con il giallo “L'alba di San Nicola” (Solferino); Franco Faggiani con il romanzo “La luce del primo mattino” (Fazi); Majid Bita autore dell'albo illustrato “Un sequestro lungo 10.000 anni” (Canicola); Francesco Carofiglio con il romanzo “Camillo il piccolo topo di biblioteca” (Garzanti); Fulvio Frezza con “Claudio Baglioni. Metamorfosi di un cantautore” (Florestano Edizioni); l'attrice Nunzia Antonino con il reading tratto da “Nate dalla tempesta” di Alessia Coppola (Fazi).Dopo il successo del 2025, Il Post tornerà a Lungomare di libri, con un incontro dedicato alla politica e alla società, quest'anno con Valerio Valentini, autore della newsletter Montecit e Nicola Ghittoni, conduttore di Morning.Agli incontri con gli autori si affiancheranno due approfondimenti sul mondo dell'editoria: il convegno “Leggere fa sistema. Perché all'Italia serve una nuova legge sul libro” sarà curato dal Forum del Libro e vedrà la partecipazione, tra gli altri, di Chiara Faggiolani e Della Passarelli (ADEI), Fabio Del Giudice (AIE), Alessandro Laterza (Casa editrice Laterza), Della Passarelli (ADEI), Vincenzo Santoro (ANCI); l'altro convegno, dal titolo “Le librerie salveranno le città? Chi salverà le librerie?” sarà organizzato dalla neonata Associazione A.L.B.A. sul ruolo dei librai nelle città e nella promozione e produzione culturale.Novità del 2026 è il progetto podcast “Marea. Storie di librerie a Bari” , realizzato in collaborazione con Ticket to Read di Margherita Schirmacher. La prima stagione sarà composta da 26 episodi della durata di circa 15 minuti ciascuno. Un viaggio tra le librerie di Lungomare di libri, alla scoperta delle particolarità che le contraddistinguono, tra storie, aneddoti e consigli di lettura. Le puntate saranno disponibili gratuitamente su Spotify e su tutte le piattaforme di streaming a partire dal mese di luglio 2026.28 librerie di Bari e del territorio barese , alcune riunite nell'associazione A.L.B.A. (IG: @a.l.ba_libreriebaresi), accoglieranno lettrici e lettori, turiste e turisti lungo la muraglia del lungomare (via Venezia), all'interno delle tipiche casette bianche in legno che contraddistinguono la manifestazione, con un'esposizione di libri degli autori e delle autrici ospiti, ma anche con altre proposte editoriali, dalle novità ai classici per adulti, bambine e bambini. Diverse attività di animazione e performance per grandi e piccoli prenderanno vita davanti alle casette delle librerie. Dopo il successo dello scorso anno, anche per questa edizione, in occasione dei due appuntamenti dedicati ai consigli dei librai , sabato 18 e domenica 19 luglio, i titoli suggeriti saranno offerti in dono al pubblico attraverso un sorteggio in diretta.32 editori indipendenti pugliesi, diversi dei quali riuniti nell'associazione APE (associazionepuglieseditori.it), si racconteranno al pubblico attraverso le loro autrici e i loro autori e le tante novità editoriali nei rinnovati spazi dell'ex Mercato del Pesce e dello Spazio Murat.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, Jon Teater discusses various aspects of land management and habitat improvement, focusing on the principles of biomimicry. The host shares personal experiences related to property management and emphasize the importance of sunlight and functional design in creating sustainable ecosystems. The conversation highlights the need for efficient use of natural resources and the role of cooperation in nature. In this conversation, the speakers explore the intricate dynamics of nature, focusing on the balance between competition and cooperation within ecosystems. They discuss the importance of biodiversity, local expertise in managing wildlife, and the natural regulatory mechanisms that maintain ecological balance. The conversation emphasizes the need for sustainable practices in wildlife management, prioritizing quality over quantity, and understanding the limits of nature to ensure long-term ecological health. Takeaways Biomimicry involves mimicking nature's designs for better land management. Personal experiences in property management can inform effective strategies. Sunlight is crucial for the productivity of ecosystems. Nature operates on principles of efficiency and cooperation. Functional designs in nature can inspire habitat improvement techniques. Waste does not exist in nature; everything serves a purpose. Creating a self-sustaining system reduces the need for maintenance. Observing natural landscapes is essential before making design decisions. Leave natural materials in place to support future growth. Utilizing natural resources efficiently can enhance habitat quality. Cooperation among species can enhance ecosystem resilience. Diversity in planting supports a variety of wildlife. Local expertise is crucial for effective wildlife management. Natural feedback loops regulate populations and ecosystems. Quality management practices are essential for healthy wildlife populations. Understanding nature's limits is key to sustainability. Healthy ecosystems require a balance of species and resources. Diverse habitats provide food and cover throughout the seasons. Native species often require less maintenance and are more resilient. Long-term ecological health depends on respecting natural processes.

For this episode, we are replaying another episode of Diverse Thinking, Different Learning, this time episode 239, in which we sat down with Ashley Harding to discuss why it's so important to allow students time for rest, rejuvenation, and exploration of their interests outside of academics, especially during the summer months. As a reminder, Ashley is a fourth-generation educator and is deeply committed to educational equity. She holds degrees from USC and Tufts University in Child Development, and her career spans more than a decade, during which she has supported students and families in private and independent schools and contributed to global education initiatives in South Africa and Belize. Formerly the Director of External Engagement for a national school network, she has co-authored research on disparities affecting Black and Latino males and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. Through her organization, North Star Academics, and her roles with BEAN and CHADD, Ashley empowers students with evidence-based strategies and advocates for those with learning differences. With summer right around the corner, this seems like the perfect time to re-air this episode, and Ashley touches upon the fact that even though academic progress remains valuable throughout the school year, summer offers a really important opportunity for students to strengthen their sense of identity, independence, and executive functioning, so, rather than filling the break with demanding academic programs, she encourages parents to instead prioritize experiences that help build confidence, self-awareness, and connection. Our conversation stresses the importance of families (both parents and students, that is) using the summer to rest, recharge, and reconnect. Ashley recommends a gradual approach, beginning with more unstructured time in June before introducing increasingly intentional activities in July and August, such as exploring upcoming coursework, reinforcing some core skills, and establishing goals for the new school year. We also explore the value of real-world learning opportunities such as cooking, managing money, and traveling, all of which can reinforce academic skills in meaningful ways while also supporting executive function development. Ashley emphasizes the importance of giving students, especially older ones, the space to pursue their interests and uncover new passions during the summer.
