Here's an old saying about nature: Drown a salt marsh, drown a coastline. Okay, we made that one up. But it's true. And you might hear it more in the future because marshes are threatened by rising sea levels. But a team of researchers has developed a way to know that a marsh is in trouble before it vanishes—providing time to preserve and restore threatened systems. Coastal salt marshes offer many benefits. They store carbon, filter the water, and provide habitat for wildlife and fishing grounds for people. And they act as a barrier against storm surges and rising sea level. As sea level rises, they build more extensive root networks that trap more sediments, elevating the entire bed. But when the water level climbs too fast, or stays high for too long, it can drown the roots. So while the vegetation looks healthy, its days are numbered. The researchers developed a computer model that assesses the health of the roots. The model used observations by a satellite and other details. They applied the model to the marshes along the coast of Georgia. And they compared their findings to surveys made on the ground. They found that the root systems had been declining by about one percent per year over most of the study area—even though the amount of the plants above ground had been going up. It takes a while for what's happening in the roots to show up above ground. So the study provides an early warning—and time to save the marsh, save the coastline. The post Drowning Marshes appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

We speak to a woman who saved the life of a kayaker, after spotting him floating face down in Idaho's Snake River. Rachelle Ruffing says knowing CPR allowed her to 'make a miracle' which has changed her, and everyone should learn how to do it. She says she still finds it hard to believe that the man made a full recovery and that attending his recent wedding was a privilege.Also: the Afghan women's football team returns to the international stage, four years after the players fled the Taliban. FIFA changed the venue of the tournament to allow them to take part. Conservationists find a way to save a rare albatross by getting birds from another species to act as foster parents for their eggs. We hear how old home movies are being rescued so people can relive precious family moments decades later. Plus, after the fat bears of Alaska, we find out about the squirrels bulking up for winter in Texas; and we meet the man who can charm animals with his music, even stopping a herd of rhinos in their tracks.Our weekly collection of inspiring, uplifting and happy news from around the world.

Property managers are drowning in admin. What if you could save two hours every day? That's an entire month per year. (As Nikki says, "I'd be in Italy.") In this episode of Thought Leaders, we sit down with Nikki D'Agostino, a director, consultant, and mum of two who just won two major REIWA awards: Strata Manager of the Year and Strata Management Agency of the Year. Nikki runs multiple businesses by "automating the mundane to focus on the meaningful." She reveals her "human-first" AI strategy for eliminating the "soul-destroying" busy work (like arrears calls and paperwork) so her team can focus on the 1,600+ owners who need a human touch. In this episode, you will learn: The Monday Task Audit: How to track every task you do for one day, feed it to ChatGPT, and have AI build a matrix of what you must Automate, Delegate, or Eliminate. Agentic AI: Why Nikki is deploying AI agents to handle arrears calls, payment plans, and paperwork, freeing up her team for high-value human interaction. The Human-First Strategy: How the future isn't about replacing people but about creating better humans who excel at relationships and problem-solving. Nikki's AI Toolkit: The exact tools she uses (like Fixer, Notebook LLM, and HeyGen) to save 6+ hours every single week. Stick around to the very end to hear the exact prompt Nikki uses to build her entire "operating system" in ChatGPT and the one bottleneck she would eliminate for every property manager if she had a magic wand.

“Even in the darkest valley, the Shepherd is still good—and He never lets go.” In this week's episode, I talk with Meshea Ingram, a mom who has walked through the deepest valley imaginable and found her Shepherd faithful every step of the way.Meshea shares about her little boy, Briggs—a joyful child with an unforgettable laugh and a big personality that filled every room. In the summer of 2022, a tragic drowning incident changed everything. Meshea speaks honestly about the days she prayed for a miracle while Briggs was on life support, the disappointment that followed when God didn't answer as she hoped, and the long process of learning to trust His goodness again.Out of their pain, Meshea and her husband founded Love Can Build a Briggs, a nonprofit organization that raises awareness about drowning prevention and provides swim-lesson scholarships for young children.This episode is a beautiful reminder that even when our miracle looks different than we hoped and our hearts are breaking, the Shepherd is still leading us, His mercies are always new, and His faithfulness never fails.Connect with Meshea:Website: www.lovecanbuildabriggs.comInstagram: @shewhopraysFacebook: Love Can Build a BriggsI would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

Feeling like you're always one ping away from burnout?In this solo season finale of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I'm getting real about what it takes to find calm after divorce — when you're juggling solo parenting, solopreneurship, and the endless to-do list.What happens when your to-do list never ends, your phone never stops pinging, and you're the only one keeping everything together? As I prepared for a week unplugged in the mountains, I opened up about the spiral of control, anxiety, and exhaustion that so many women face — and how learning to let go became the key to freedom.

This week, Chris is joined (again!) by Christian Mouysset, Co-founder of Tenzo, the “glue” that brings sales, labour, inventory, reviews and reservations into one real-time view. We talk actionable KPIs over vanity metrics, why speed of feedback beats perfect dashboards, and how “performance ops” helps GMs move the needle on today's shift, not next quarter's report.HighlightsFrom data overload to action: pick 3–5 KPIs and shine a light—things improve.Real-time or it's too late: feedback after lunch beats a board pack next week.Shift-level impact: targets part-timers can act on within a three-hour window.AI done right: ML for forecasting, LLMs for summaries, automation for delivery—different tools, different jobs.Integrations that work: human relationships + solid APIs matter.Best-of-breed vs all-in-one: choose your four dimensions (geo, sub-vertical, toolset, segment) and make trade-offs on purpose.Hotels turning F&B inside-out: untapped revenue if ops and insight align.Key takeaways:Start with one KPI (e.g., spend per labour hour) and prove a win before adding more.Put mobile, real-time insight in the GM's hand; avoid 15 logins and 28-page PDFs.Separate ML, LLMs and automation; don't lump everything under “AI”.Build integrations at the right granularity (hour, site, revenue centre).Timestamps01:45 – Tenzo in one line: the “glue” for restaurant data04:50 – Data drowning vs focusing on what matters06:40 – “Shine a light and it gets better” (Hard Rock lesson)08:50 – Real-time targets teams can act on today12:30 – Why mobile matters for GMs (and part-timers)14:50 – AI: forecasting, summaries and automation—what's what18:30 – Trust, accuracy and adoption20:45 – Integrations: people, APIs and the right granularity24:30 – Best-of-breed vs all-in-one (choose your sacrifices)26:55 – Industry pulse: cautious optimism and real ROI28:40 – Hotels & F&B: new momentum29:55 – How to reach ChristianGuestChristian Mouysset – Co-founder, TenzoWeb: gotenzo.comEmail: christian@gotenzo.comSponsorLightspeed — POS and payments built for busy service.

If embedded super intelligence at the core of factory operations enabling custom software to be built in 24 hours instead of 18 months bridged the chasm that exists between management, vision, and operational reality, would you do it?

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, connects with ADHD and life coach Jamie Blume to tackle a question many ADHD Entrepreneurs ask themselves: why doesn't the brain realize we're truly safe and let go of old protective patterns? They unpack how our brains act as survival prediction machines, why the ADHD brain defaults to negative thinking, and what happens when our "body budget" gets depleted. Jamie breaks down how consistent new experiences and reframing thoughts can help retrain those ingrained patterns. If you're an ADHD Entrepreneur wanting practical ways to shift your mindset and grow, this honest conversation is a must-listen.  

It's taken me longer than I'd like to admit to learn that “more” isn't always the answer. More space, more stuff, more goals, more plans… they sound good in theory. But in reality? More often leads to burnout, not contentment. The more I tried to add, the more scattered I felt. And eventually, I had to ask myself the question no one wants to face: What if I already have enough and just didn't notice?So this is a reflection on enoughness. Not in a theoretical, minimalist sort of way, but in the real-life, real-mess, small-flat-with-kids kind of way. Because if there's one place that's taught me how to live inside the word enough, it's this 650-square-foot home, with its shared bedrooms, balcony garden, books stacked in corners, and never-quite-empty laundry basket.From “Passing Through” to Choosing to StayWhen we first moved in, it felt temporary. A stepping stone. Something we'd outgrow. That's the story, isn't it? That small homes are a phase to get through before you graduate to something bigger. Bigger house, bigger life. It's what we're told to aim for.But somewhere along the way, I stopped waiting for the upgrade. I stopped planning the next move. I stopped thinking of this space as something I had to get out of and started seeing it as something I could grow into.And that changed everything.Small Space, Big LessonsLiving small has forced us to be deliberate. We can't accumulate without consequence. Every item has to earn its keep. Every corner has to work. But that's not a burden, it's a gift. It's made us intentional. It's made us creative. It's made us notice what we truly value and what we really don't.This home isn't picture-perfect. It's loud. Lived in. Sometimes chaotic. The laundry dries wherever there is space, the kids share a bedroom (ours!), and storage is… let's call it “inventive.” But none of that feels like a limitation anymore. It feels like a choice. Not “we make it work,” but this works because we've chosen it. And that? That's enough.Enoughness Is a MindsetThis way of living has changed how I see everything. It's not about settling. It's about rooting into what's already here. Enoughness, for me, has become a kind of rebellion, a refusal to keep chasing just because the world says I should.And it's everywhere. It shows up in our home education, not as a curated Pinterest-perfect setup, but as learning that happens at the kitchen table, on the sofa, out on walks, in the real rhythms of our life. We don't need a separate classroom or a shelf full of printables. We need books, conversation, curiosity and space to be together. That's enough.Cooking Slower & Living DeeperIn the kitchen, enoughness tastes like from-scratch meals made with simple ingredients and zero pressure to be impressive. Our kitchen isn't huge. Our tools are basic. But the food is real, made with love, and often stirred while someone reads out loud or tells me a wild story about the Ice Age.We grow what we can, even on a second floor balcony and our allotment. We preserve what we're able to. We waste less. We eat better. Building a Business That Doesn't Burn Me OutIt's also shaped the way I run my business. I've stopped buying into the idea that growth always means scaling. Bigger isn't always better, not if it costs me my time, my values, or my presence with my family. I want my work to fit inside my life, not overtake it.Enoughness in business means building something sustainable. Honest. Grounded. Something that pays the bills and makes an impact without requiring me to trade my whole self to keep it afloat. For me, that's success.Embracing enoughness has given me breathing room. Margin. The space to enjoy my life instead of constantly trying to upgrade it.This Is More Than EnoughThere's this myth that living well means always levelling up. More square footage. More output. More ambition. But I think a lot of us are just tired. Full in all the wrong ways. Drowning in choices and clutter and pressure. And in that noise, it becomes almost impossible to feel present, to enjoy what's actually here.But when you choose enoughness? Things start to shift. The edges soften. The pressure loosens. Life starts to feel like something you're in, not something you're behind on.Let Yourself Bloom HereSo if you're reading this from a space that feels small, or temporary, or not what you thought it would be, I want you to know: you don't have to wait for more to feel at peace. You don't have to move house to feel rooted. You don't have to keep chasing. You're allowed to stop. To breathe. To look around and say, actually, this is good.Once you stop chasing what you think you should have, you finally get to notice what you already do.And sometimes, that's where the real abundance lives.

Hazel Barkworth is creative consultant, who graduated from Oxford with an English Degree, and when she decided she'd try and write fiction... she went back to school. She enrolled in the Curtis Brown Creative Novel Writing Course, and published her debut, 'Heatstroke', to rave reviews in The Guardian and the Evening Standard.Hazel's newest novel is 'The Drownings'.

One dark night, she saves a students life, and the process leads her to learn about a dark, twisted history unseen through the campus.

What does Monthly CEO Support actually look like? Not the theory - the reality. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a real client transformation. From October 2024 (drowning, grieving, crying through weekly planning) to October 2025 (£25-30k months, second business launched, speaking on stages, loving her work). I walk you through the exact structure of a Monthly CEO Support session: the capacity audit, the pattern identification, the accountability that makes implementation actually happen. You'll hear what we cover, how we work, and why this model works when courses and DIY frameworks haven't. If you've been wondering whether Monthly Support is for you - or if you're tired of knowing what to do but not doing it - this episode shows you exactly what changes when you have someone in your corner who sees the patterns you can't see. 3-4 Monthly Support spots open this week (last spots until January 2026).

Renee Troughton: Analytics From Day One and Four Other Principles of Great POs Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Product owners who think about their products as just a backlog that I prioritize, and I get some detailed requirements from stakeholders, and I give that to the team... that's not empowering the team. And it's probably leading you to building the wrong thing, just faster." The Bad Product Owner: The Backlog Manager Without Vision Renee describes a pattern of Product Owners who don't understand product management—they lack roadmaps, strategy, and never speak to customers. These POs focus solely on backlogs, prioritizing detailed requirements from stakeholders without testing hypotheses or learning about their market. Taking an empathetic view, Renee notes these individuals may have fallen into the role without passion, never seeing what excellence looks like, and struggling with extreme time poverty. Product ownership is one of the hardest roles from a time perspective—dealing with legislative requirements, compliance, risk, fail-and-fix work, and constant incoming demands. Drowning in day-to-day urgency, they lack breathing space for strategic thinking.  These POs also struggle with vulnerability, feeling they should have all answers as leaders, making it difficult to admit knowledge gaps. Without organizational safety to fail, they can't demonstrate the confidence balanced with humility needed to test hypotheses and potentially be wrong. The result is building the wrong thing faster, without empowering teams or creating real value. Self-reflection Question: Are you managing your Product Owners' workload and supporting their strategic thinking time, or are you allowing them to drown in tactical work that prevents them from truly leading their products? The Great Product Owner: Analytics from Day One and Market Awareness "They really iterated, I think, 5 key principles quite consistently... the one thing that did really shape my thinking at that time was... Analytics from day one." Renee celebrates a Chief Product Owner who led 13 teams with extraordinary effectiveness. This PO consistently communicated five key principles, with "analytics from day one" being paramount—emphasizing the critical need to know immediately if new features work and understanding customer behavior from launch. This PO demonstrated deep market awareness, regularly spending time in Silicon Valley, understanding innovation trends and where the industry was heading. They maintained a clear product vision and could powerfully sell the dream to stakeholders.  Perhaps most impressively, they brought urgency during a competitive "space race" situation when a former leader left with intellectual property to build a competing product. Despite this pressure, they never allowed compromise on quality—rallying teams with mission and purpose while maintaining standards. This combination of strategic vision, market knowledge, data-driven decision-making, and balanced urgency created an environment where teams delivered excellence under competitive pressure.
