DSD 6.6 | How much variability is allowable? Timing of insemination is still one of the most common question Dr. Paul Fricke, Extension faculty for the University of Wisconsin, gets from farmers. This month he and coauthors Vanda Santos and Paulo Carvalho  discuss the ideal timing of insemination when using popular artificial insemination protocols and when producers use estrus detection devices. Additionally, how does this change if you choose to use sexed semen or a straw of beef? Listen in to learn how to improve the pregnancies / AI metric in YOUR herd.

Send us a textVirtually all digital recording uses a format called PCM. But there is another digital format that works in an entirely different way. It's called DSD, for Direct Stream Digital, and you might find that it sounds better than PCM.In this episode, I explain what DSD is, mostly from a practical, user, viewpoint.If it sounds better, why don't we use it? Well, DSD comes with some serious limitations. I explain those limitations and the techniques used to get around them in the world of contemporary recording.Most people will find the shortcomings of DSD to be enough of a problem that they have no interest in it. But for those of us who are on a quest for the best sounding audio we can achieve, DSD is worth it despite its challenges.Here is a link to Native DSD, a digital distributor that has specialized in DSD digital downloads:https://www.nativedsd.com/… and a link to Outer Marker Records, the label the Hazelrigg Brothers and I founded a few years go. All the releases on Outer Marker were recorded in DSD:https://www.nativedsd.com/label/outer-marker-records/We think DSD is the most musical recording format there is. email: dwfearn@dwfearn.comwww.youtube.com/c/DWFearnhttps://dwfearn.com/

Does having a speech sound disorder put a preschooler at risk for persistent language and literacy delays? The latest research includes 290 effect sizes that compare children with speech sound disorders to their neurotypical peers. It indicates that the risk for children with speech sound disorders is greater for both language and literacy delays, and these delays, sadly, tend to worsen over time.

Bienvenidos de nuevo a un directo desde Twitter, esta vez voy a darles una clase magistral sobre como funciona nuestra red eléctrica, algo complejo y sencillo a la vez. No hay ningún medio de comunicación que hable claramente sobre esto y por ello la gente no se puede formar una opinión al respecto. Se habla de oido y por regla general los tertulianos no tienen ni idea de lo que hablan. Os explicaré a grandes rasgos mi formación: Título de FP2 en la especialidad Líneas y maquinas eléctricas, eso antiguamente eran 5 años. Luego pasé algunos meses como técnico para un autónomo que trabajaba para Balay antes de irme a la mili. La mili la realice en la base aérea de Getafe como electricista dentro de la central eléctrica donde ayude a los electricistas civiles, allí teníamos varios grupos electrógenos, de varios tamaños y potencias. Al volver de la mili entre en una empresa de verificación trafos en fábricas y permisos para poner en marcha instalaciones. Después entre en una de las empresas eléctricas mas antiguas de España, J.Gil, se trata de una empresa de las primeras que construyó nuestra red eléctrica. Decir que los antiguos trabajadores de Hidroeléctrica Española hacían horas en esa empresa y que nosotros celebrábamos la comida de nochebuena con ellos. En esa empresa viví la unificación de Hidroeléctrica Española e Iberduero dando como resultado el monstruo de Iberdrola. Esa empresa empezó a ir mal y entre a otra del sector y entre las dos estuve más de 10 años en las empresas que construyen y mantienen centrales de generación y distribución trabajando por toda España. Dentro de esas dos empresas trabajé en todo tipo de instalaciones: nucleares, térmicas de carbón, hidroeléctricas, de fuel, eólicos, de todo salvo solar. Y en todo tipo de tensiones, desde las subestaciones de distribución en 20KV a las grandes centrales de 400KV. Participe en la construcción desde cero de subestaciones y centrales, instalacion de cableado de control, montaje de bastidores de protecciones y pruebas en todo tipo de instalaciones. Estuve trabajando en el cinturón de 400KV que rodea Madrid y también en la instalación de los telemandos para manejar las centrales a distancia. Trabajando en el parque de 400 KV de Vandellos se pusieron en contacto conmigo para que echara el curriculum en REE, Red eléctrica de España. Tuve que ir a Zaragoza a realizar una entrevista para ver si estaba capacitado para ser operador del sistema con ellos. Lo pase y realice también un test de conocimientos básicos y otro psicológico que también pase…pero al final mi apellido no era el adecuado y no entre. Luego contaré una anécdota al respecto. Pude ir a trabajar a Brasil y deje esta última empresa porque me querían contratar en Iberdrola y mi jefe lo impidió. Le di quince días y me marché a una pequeña ingeniera de valencia. Alli trabaje un año como delineante diseñando telecontroles, teledisparos, equipos de protección de red y modificaciones en centrales eléctricas. Allí colaboré en el diseño de subestaciones para Brasil. Pero yo soy un técnico de campo, una rata de calle y parque al aire libre, por lo que terminé yéndome a la empresa donde sigo trabajando hoy dia. Dicha multinacional fue a su vez comprada por otra aún mayor, nada menos que GE. Así que sí, he trabajado para GE (General Electric) como técnico de campo, incluso me dieron un cuadro de reconocimiento, ja, ja, ja. En esta empresa llevo los últimos 25 años. Se trata de una empresa que produce energía y la inyecta a la red todos los días desde todas partes del mundo. Así que sí, creo estar capacitado para hablar sobre el apagón del dia 28, otro fatídico 8, a las 12:33 Decir que las explicaciones que ha dado REE a través de Eduardo Prieto como director de servicios para la operación de Red eléctrica son claramente insuficientes. Un escueto video de 50 segundos publicado en su página web donde simplemente nos dicen que la demanda había sido repuesta en un 77% a las 4 de la mañana… De momento nadie ha dado una respuesta verosímil sobre lo que de verdad a pasado. REE, la empresa privado-estatal que maneja la red eléctrica ha dicho esto en su sala de prensa. Tan solo ha explicado que a las 12 de la noche se recuperó el 60% de la demanda y a las 2 de la mañana el 77%. Esto es largo de explicar a través de unos tuits...pero digamos que es la pescadilla que se muerde la cola. Muchas instalaciones generadoras no están diseñadas para producir mientras la red está caída, lo que se denomina blackout, y necesitan que haya tensión de red para empezar a inyectar potencia a la red. Las instalaciones grandes como las nucleares y otros grupos de generación necesitan horas o incluso días para estar disponibles. Es más, las nucleares necesitan una enorme cantidad de energía eléctrica para refrigerar sus núcleos nada más desconectarse de la red. La propia distribución eléctrica consume un montón de potencia eléctrica que se disipa en forma de calor y de emisiones de radiación electromagnética en todos los cientos de miles de kilómetros del cableado eléctrico de AT (alta tensión) y en los bobinados de los trafos. Por lo tanto, la primera generación que se va recuperando debe enviarse a qué las nucleares tengan red y no utilicen sus grupos electrógenos de emergencia y en inundar las redes de distribución con tensión. De momento no he escuchado ni una explicación técnica sobre el #apagon de parte de REE o de algún medio oficial. Aquí, Eduardo Prieto, director de Servicios para la Operación de Red Eléctrica en declaraciones a los medios nos contó como iban reponiendo esta tensión para que todos tengamos electricidad en casa. Eso fue a las 20:35 y es el último comunicado publicado en la web de REE. Ya está circulando por ahí la posibilidad de que este apagón haya sido debido a la presencia de masiva de energia procedente de los paneles solares fotovoltaicos, leo: "En un sistema eléctrico dominado por paneles solares, aerogeneradores e inversores, la inercia física es prácticamente nula. Los paneles solares no producen rotación mecánica. La mayoría de los aerogeneradores modernos están desacoplados electrónicamente de la red y proporcionan poca fuerza estabilizadora. Los sistemas basados ​​en inversores, que predominan en las redes modernas de energía renovable, son precisos pero delicados. Siguen la frecuencia de la red en lugar de resistir cambios repentinos”. El tuitero Principia Marsupia decía: “Veremos si tiene algo que ver con el apagón de hoy o no, pero hay un concepto del que se habla muy poco: la **inercia** de un sistema eléctrico. La inercia funciona como un amortiguador ante las fluctuaciones. Las centrales nucleares, las hidroeléctrica, las de gas, etc. proporcionan inercia al sistema xq tienen el mismo principio de funcionamiento: turbinas muy pesadas que giran muy rápido (a 50 vueltas por segundo = 50 hertzios). Esos bichos tan pesados girando a tanta velocidad tienen una inercia muy grande. Newton nos enseñó que cuanta más inercia tienes, más fuerza tiene que ejercer el exterior para cambiar tu velocidad de rotación. Dicho de otra manera: esos sistemas "absorben" las fluctuaciones de forma instantánea y muy eficiente. Por supuesto, todo tiene su límite y también puede haber apagones con esas centrales. ¿Y la solar y la eólica? La solar y la eólica producen electricidad sin una masa que proporcione inercia. (Los molinos eólicos no giran a 50 vueltas por segundo). Ojo: yo soy muy partidario de las renovables. Son más baratas y nos hacen depender menos de los países que exportan petróleo o gas. Pero creo que no se explica bien que cuando dependemos *sólo* de las renovables, el diseño y la gestión de la red es mucho más compleja. Y dicho esto, repito: no sé si el apagón de hoy ha sido un problema con la inercia del sistema. En todo caso, os he podido dar la chapa con un tema que me parece interesantísimo.” Es cierto que el dia del apagón el aporte de la energia fotovoltaica fue mayor de un 60% dentro del mix energético, concretamente un 60,64% con 17.657 MW. Pero hace solo unos días, el 21 de abril de 2025, la energía fotovoltaica alcanzó un récord en España, aportando el 61,5% del mix energético peninsular a las 13:35 horas, con una producción instantánea de 20.120 MW. El 19 de marzo de 2023, a las 11:37 horas, la energía solar fotovoltaica cubrió el 64,5% de la demanda eléctrica en España, marcando un récord histórico…sin que sufrieramos un apagón. ………………………………………………………………………………………. contar que es la red…tendréis que escuchar mi explicación ………………………………………………………………………………………. Decir que consultando los datos vemos que a las 12 y 20 no solo estábamos produciendo lo que consumían los españoles sino que estábamos exportando o guardando energia en forma bombeo. En concreto estábamos exportando 1 GW (a grosso modo una central nuclear) a Francia, 2,6 GW a Portugal y 3 GW se estaban destinando a bombear agua en presas para luego turbinarla, esto es, para en otro momento donde la energia sea mas cara vender de nuevo esa energia. Y casi un 1 GW más destinado a Marruecos, Andorra, etc… O sea, a las 12 y 20, 13 minutos antes del desastre nos sobraban casi 7 GW. En ese momento teníamos algunas de nuestras centrales nucleares en marcha, en torno a la mitad, por lo que estábamos produciendo unos 3 GW de forma nuclear. Por no decir que en España existe también el servicio de Interrumpibilidad por el que cobran y muy bien algunas de las empresas que mas energia eléctrica consumen. Este servicio significa que en caso de necesidad estas empresas serán desconectadas de la red por el operador y tendrán que funcionar en isla, o sea, se tendrán que generar ellas mismas su energía. Este servicio se empezó a gestionar en la Orden ITC/2370/2007, de 26 de julio, y hoy dia no está claro cuantos gigavatios hay destinados a esto. Esto funciona por subasta, el gobierno ofrece este chollo solo a las empresas afines, ya que como yo he comentado en mis artículos y podcast titulados “La red de araña” la corrupción y el oscurantismo en este sector es generalizado. Hace años que no busco datos sobre este respecto pero han habido años donde habían mas de 7 GW destinados a esto. Por ello estas empresas pagan su energia mas barata que la señora Maria que utiliza la electricidad para usar su secador de pelo y cuatro bombillas. Hoy se llama Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD) y son solo unos 2 GW, podemos leer esto: “Las subastas de interrumpibilidad, tal como se conocían tradicionalmente, han evolucionado en España. Desde 2022, se han reemplazado por un nuevo mecanismo denominado Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD), según el Real Decreto-ley 17/2022. Este servicio permite a grandes consumidores, como la industria electrointensiva, y otros agentes con al menos 1 MW de potencia reducir su consumo eléctrico en momentos críticos para el sistema eléctrico, a cambio de una retribución económica. A diferencia del antiguo sistema, la retribución se basa en la disponibilidad y, en caso de activación, en la ejecución efectiva de la reducción de consumo. En 2024, se anunció que la subasta para el SRAD de 2025 se celebraría el 14 de noviembre, con un requerimiento de 2.116 MW. Estas subastas, gestionadas por Red Eléctrica de España (REE), son telemáticas, anuales y abiertas a más participantes que las antiguas subastas de interrumpibilidad, que estaban restringidas principalmente a la gran industria. Por tanto, las subastas de interrumpibilidad como tal ya no existen, pero el SRAD cumple una función similar, adaptada a un marco regulatorio más moderno y flexible, alineado con las directrices de la Unión Europea.” Esto nos dice que en cualquier momento nos podríamos deshacer de la producción de 9 GW…ya saben que supuestamente todo ha sobrevenido porque nos faltaron de golpe 15GW en un consumo de entorno 26. Les hablare de como se calcula la energia necesaria que tenemos que producir para no tener problemas. Toda la energia que podemos producir se denomina “capacidad efectiva” y toda la energia que necesitamos en un instante se llama “demanda máxima bruta coincidente”. Lógicamente esta ultima debe ser menor que lo que podemos producir, esa diferencia se denomina “margen de reserva”. Y aqui es donde vienen las curvas. Lógicamente no todas las instalaciones están operativas: Puedes estar paradas debido a un mantenimiento programado, a un fallo, a la degradación por el paso del tiempo o al cajón de sastre que denominan “causas ajenas”. Asi que ese margen de reserva que teníamos antes se nos ha reducido hasta lo que se conoce como “margen de reserva operativo”. Por tanto tenemos una capacidad neta disponible que debe superar a la demanda máxima neta en ese “margen de reserva operativo”. Dicho margen esta compuesto por el margen de reserva de generación, la demanda interrumpible y la capacidad de interconexión (nuestra red está conectada a la de otros países y podemos exportar o importar electricidad). Nuestra interconexión principal es con Francia, pueden buscarla como Inelfe, una linea que pretende que pasemos del 3% de interconexión actual a un 10%...o sea aproximadamente 10 GWh… esto solo puede servir para enviar nuestra energía sobrante ...porque a nosotros nos sobra aproximadamente un 70% de todo lo que hay instalado en este santo país. Hice unos cálculos sobre el margen de reserva en 2014, son estos: Pues bien, si nosotros tenemos oficialmente 108 GWh (yo creo que son mas bien 120 GWh...pero "aceptamos pulpo") y consumimos en una franja entre los 22 y 36 GWh...¿Cuantos GWh nos sobran?... Pues bastante mas de esos 10 GWh que si no paran en Francia (que pararan, vaya si pararan)...y le dejo aqui los fríos datos extraídos de ese pdf que Vd. obvio y ojo es un pdf muy, pero que muy pronuke… Le remarco lo de la flechita para que vea que ES PARA EXTRAER NUESTRA ENERGIA SOBRANTE CREADA EN INSTALACIONES QUE EMPLEAN ENERGIA RENOVABLE LA QUE CIRCULARA POR LAS REDES FRANCESAS...PORQUE ELLOS DE ESO POCO... Para calcular el margen de reserva de nuestra red necesitamos conocer estos tres factores: MRG ó margen de reserva de generación. Como tenemos parados casi todos los ciclos combinados, y según Iberdrola, este margen es grande de casi 30 GWh (datos del 2010, ahora sera mayor) y ya que cobran sumas astronómicas en concepto de disponibilidad pues que estén preparados para empezar a generar, leñe. DI ó demanda interrumpible. Esto por si no lo saben nuestros oyentes se trata de un convenio entre las empresas eléctricas y los grandes consumidores via subvención del estado para que sean avisados y dada la circunstancia de un preapagon se queden fuera de la red, esto es, les sea cortado el suministro eléctrico para compensar la demanda en ese momento, a veces simplemente para gestionar las tensiones en la red. La ultima orden de interrumpibilidad se produjo en diciembre del 2009 en el sur de España. Solo se pueden sumar a estas "primas" los grandes consumidores de mas de 100MW, o sea, a estas grandes industrias la luz les sale bastante mas barata por este y otros motivos que a un pequeño consumidor. CI ó capacidad de interconexiones. Actualmente gozamos de unos 10 GWh que serán ampliados en breve gracias al proyecto INELFE pasando a los 15 GWh ampliable a los 25 GWh, que consiste en enterrar unas líneas de corriente continua entre Francia y España. Todo esto hace que nuestra capacidad bruta de 108 GWh oficiales y nuestra capacidad efectiva que es la suma de la demanda bruta coincidente y el margen de reserva sean bastante grandes y parecidos. Yo calculo a grosso modo que esta capacidad efectiva seria de: 36GWh del pico máximo actual, ya que no volveremos en mucho tiempo a los 45 GWh de nuestra burbuja mas los 30 GWh del margen de reserva de generación mas los 6 GWh de la demanda interrumpible mas los 10 GWn actuales de la capacidad de interconexión nos arroja un total de 82 GWh. Unos 82 GWh, que descontandole el aproximadamente el 25 % de fallos, degradación, causas ajenas y al mantenimiento de equipos nos arroja una potencia de margen de reserva operativo mas demanda bruta coincidente de 61,5 GWh y esa y no otra seria la potencia bruta instalada mínima que precisaríamos en estos momentos. Sin embargo nosotros que hemos tenido un pico máximo de demanda de 45 GWh en plena burbuja inmobiliaria, tenemos instalada la friolera de 108 GWh lo que nos arroja un margen de reserva del 59%. Vamos por último a comparar estos valores con dos países, el primero México: En el informe del 2012 de la comisión nacional de energia eléctrica podemos leer los datos del 2011, esto es, México tuvo una demanda media de 38,85 GWh y una capacidad bruta de generación de 54 GWh, lo que deja un margen de reserva operativo del 24 %, o lo que es lo mismo en Mexico hacen los deberes. Veamos ahora el caso de Francia: Su pico máximo de demanda en el año 2010 fue de 96 GWh y ellos tienen una capacidad bruta instalada de 123,5 GWh así que esto nos arroja un margen de reserva operativo de tan solo un 22 %, o sea peor margen de reserva que México y no digamos con nuestro abultadisimo margen del 59 %. Todos los autores están de acuerdo en que este valor de reserva se debe situar entre el 25 y el 30%... así que le dedico estos datos a un pronuclear cabezón que sigue opinando que nuestra red no puede funcionar sin la mano que nos echan los franceses...pero ya vemos que es al revés y que en breve aun necesitaran mas de nuestras energias renovables. ………………………………………………………………………….. Quería comentar que los cortes eléctricos que puedan inestabilizar el sistema no son tan poco frecuentes, yo he vivido dos. El más importante, sin lugar a dudas fue el de 1987 provocado por un fallo en un trafo de 220 KV en la subestación de Sentmenat. Durante aquellos días estaba trabajando en la ET de la Plana (Castellon), punto estratégico donde se pudo aislar la avería junto con la ET de la Mudarra en Valladolid. Para ello fue preciso el sacar las “palas” de los relés de protección de sobreintensidad (que por cierto eran GE , como casi todos) y controlar la línea “a mano”. Os dejo un fragmento del libro histórico de REE , donde se recoge aquel accidente, en la pág. 31 podemos leer esto: “…El apagón de Cataluña de 1987 El 14 de octubre de 1987 se produce un apagón en Cataluña que deja sin servicio al 91 % del mercado catalán y desacopla las conexiones con Francia. El incidente se origina a las 22:44 horas en la subestación de Sentmenat (Barcelona), al explotar un polo de un interruptor. La situación se agrava a las 23:20 horas al dispararse la línea Aragón-La Plana, lo que afecta al resto de las centrales eléctricas de la zona. En concreto se disparan los grupos de La Robla, Teruel, Ascó, Vandellós I y Garoña. La potencia de la central de Cofrentes se queda en 80 megavatios. Para superar esta situación, se acoplan grupos de fuelóleo en Sant Adriá de Besós, Foix, Cercs y Castellón. El suministro se normaliza al cien por cien a la 1:45 horas de la madrugada. «Se puede hablar de perturbación general. Es la incidencia mayor que se ha registrado en la etapa de la explotación unificada», asegura José Alburquerque, que fue jefe del CECOEL entre 1990 y 1999 y ahora está jubilado…” (OJO 4 Nucleares paradas, y bajar a 80 MW Cofrentes es una parada técnica de emergencia en toda regla, la situación se puso al rojo vivo) Sobretodo se han dado situaciones de peligro en la zona de Cataluña, aunque tras crear el doble anillo de 400 KV de la red eléctrica se ha mejorado muchísimo. Figuraos que hasta hace no tanto tiempo toda la energía eléctrica que salía y/o entraba a Segovia lo hacía por un único interruptor de 400 KV. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

DSD 6.3 | Big Picture Management Decisions Matter Timeless dairy management decisions, such as voluntary waiting period & days dry, have recently been the topic of interest across the globe. Scrutiny to illuminate the ideal to maximize productive life has left the industry questioning convention.   Michael Overton, DVM at Zoetis worked with co-author Steve Eicker to tease out the answers to these questions from a a massive dataset of 109,000 cows across 60 herds nationwide. This retrospective, observational research project was recently published in the Journal of Dairy Science titled, “Associations between days open and dry period length versus milk production, replacement, and fertility in the subsequent lactation in Holstein dairy cows”. All dairymen should pause to determine the unintended consequences of their management decisions on optimal performance and ultimately the economic success of the herd.

Clarence Ford spoke to Western Cape Minister of Social Development Jaco LondtSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Pienaar community in Mpumalanga has been plagued by a crippling lack of social services, including vital support such as social grants, counselling, and pauper burials. The crisis began several months ago when the Department of Social Development's (DSD) offices were abruptly closed. The community and the department are now embroiled in a bitter dispute, with each side trading accusations. The community alleges that the department flouted hiring guidelines, appointing friends and associates to key management positions, while the department claims the community locked its gates without justification. To shed more light on this contentious issue, Elvis Presslin spoke to Pienaar Community Spokesperson, Sthembiso Sithole

Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) basically went from getting its categorical ass whipped to being the most interesting energy drinks portfolio in just two short years by acquiring a large stake in Nutrabolt (owner of C4 Energy), strategically partnering with Black Rifle Coffee Company to distribute its new energy drink, acquiring GHOST Lifestyle, and adding Bloom Energy to its national DSD system. But what if KDP was making all these strategic moves to simply hedge against a growing risk on its multibillion-dollar U.S. coffee segment? KDP was recently charged by the SEC over making inaccurate statements within past earnings reports about the recyclability of K-Cups. And while the civil penalty levied was laughable, it highlights sustainability questions at a time when conscious consumerism is becoming more popular. If anything, maybe it's telling when the K-Cup inventor has publicly stated for years his regret over the negative environmental impact of those tiny plastic pods.

This talks highlights the reality that the attention economy is over, we are now in the addiction economy. You have been warned. Double down on your practice. This talk was given at the DSD mentoring group. If you are interested in joining you can check out this LINK. 

Did we just experience the defining moment within the better-for-you, functional lifestyle products movement? Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) had quarterly revenue of $332.2 million, which was down 4% YoY. And while that now marks the second straight quarter of YoY revenues losses…sequential QoQ revenue activity increased sharply at 25%. According to Circana last 52-week data, CELSIUS accounted for 30.3% of all energy drink category growth YoY. In addition, Celsius sustained its market share of 11.8% and is securely the third-largest energy drink brand in the category. And I don't want gloss over this accomplishment…as CELSIUS became the first brand in over a decade not named Red Bull or Monster Energy that was able to capture more than a 10% share in the U.S. energy drinks market. Celsius energy drinks has seen massive growth in convenience stores, foodservice (e.g. fast food restaurants), mass retailers like Walmart, the club channel in retailers like Costco, and the Amazon marketplace. Additionally, the early international market development groundwork starting to formalize with CELSIUS extending its relationship with Suntory Beverage & Food and also the first major international market expansion under the PepsiCo umbrella (i.e. Canada). It's my opinion that international expansion presents significant opportunity for incremental growth over the next three to five years. With Celsius at basically full distribution now…the TDP growth will have to come from increased items carried per store. Going forward, Celsius will increase items per store through a combination of product strategies like flavor, format, pack size, and variant expansion. Additionally, CELISUS will continue scaling up the new Essentials lineup that has exceeded the company's expectations. Moreover, they will seek more store placements like leveraging cold display activity in Celsius-branded coolers. But the huge breaking news that accompanied this earnings report was CELSIUS entering into a definitive agreement to acquire Alani Nutrition for a net purchase price of $1.65 billion, comprising a mix of cash and stock. In 2024, Alani Nu became the fourth-largest U.S. energy drink brand…reaching more than $800 million in retail sales across tracked channels…growing an astonishing 63% YoY. Moreover, the combined brand platform of CELSIUS and Alani Nu energy drinks would be considered the fastest growing energy drink brand portfolio of the top 10 categorical competitors...generating slightly below $2 billion in revenue and more than $3.5 billion in tracked channel retail sales over the full-year 2024 period, and would have 16% category share (trailing only the Monster Energy combined brand platform and Red Bull). But I'll also analyze a collection of questions that have huge energy drinks market implications like why did CELSIUS acquire Alani Nu, is there cannibalization risk, will PepsiCo distribute Alani Nu now, CELSIUS product category expansion, and will this set off more market consolidation and another game of independent DSD musical chairs.

Calling mallards effectively requires practice, observations skills and creativity.  In this episode of Fin And Fire With Jeff Mishler, Mike and I sit down at DSD headquarters and dive deep into the process of improving your duck calling.  This podcast is much more than just another "How-To" lesson.  In fact, we break some molds and myths around the entire process of talking to ducks.

After getting ghosted, Anheuser-Busch puts together a deal that no one saw coming [well almost no one]. But maybe why this deal news announcement by Anheuser-Busch caught so many off guard was that (even being in market more than two years now) the trailing twelve months of tracked channel retail sales for the 1st Phorm Energy drink would rank them just inside the Top 50 energy drink brands in the U.S. market. But as you'll hear in the content, even if comparative growth rates were sharply increasing (proving that the thoughtful independent DSD network buildout and retail go-to-market plan was working), those retail sales metrics weren't going to be one of the primary reasons behind the new partnership announced a few weeks ago. In the press release, it noted that the new partnership aimed at fueling new innovations within the rapidly growing energy drinks and related functional beverage segments. And the partnership's initial energy product was expected to come to market by this upcoming summer 2025 and to be distributed by the Anheuser-Busch network of wholesaler partners. Moreover, a fun little extra detail was that the partnership would also include sports and entertainment mogul Dana White…who if you didn't realize has had success in the beverage world (selling minority interest of his Howler Head whiskey brand a few years ago to Campari Group). But for my latest first principles thinking content, I'll analyze what this announcement means for all involved stakeholders (including the U.S. energy drinks market implications).

DSD 6.1 | Management to create the invisible cow If you pause and think about a list of cows –  chances are the list that pops into mind is a group of troublemakers that didn't breed back or need another round of treatment or are on this week's cull list. What if you could create a herd of unmemorable cows – ones who just do their job; make milk, breed back, no mastitis – the "Invisible Cow". Dr. Krogstad's research program's goal is to create more invisible cows; ones you only see at calving, breeding and dry off. This month he shares with us a dataset analyzed for associations of hyperketonemia (HYK) with body condition, milk production, pregnancy loss, mastitis and ultimately culling. It turns out that the timing of lipolysis determines if it is healthy or harmful and ultimately has a big impact on her success through transition. It all boils down to are the free fatty acids being mobilized to fuel early lactation being completely oxidized or partially oxidized?   Listen in to learn more about our featured article: Associations of Body Condition Score, Body Condition Score Change, and Hyperketonemia with Mastitis, Reproduction, and Milk Production  Topics of discussion 1:40       Introduction of Kirby Krogstad 2:39       Definition of hyperketonemia (HYK) 4:22       Frequency of HYK 5:16       Milk yield decrease due to hyperketonemia 7:36       Figure 3: Prepartum BCS by lactation 9:39       Ideal range of prepartum BCS 10:17     Impact of BCS loss on pregnancy loss 12:04     What's the biology behind the pregnancy losses? 13:58     How does hyperketonemia impact odds risk mastitis? 14:44     Cellular rationale behind increased mastitis risk 16:36     Figure 5: Health status impact on milk yield 18:16     “Healthy” Lipolysis   18:58     Were cows with high BHB treated? 19:43     Week one vs week two – Timing of Lipolysis 20:40     Healthy Lipolysis generates the invisible cow 22:11     Can you suppress inflammation to improve transition?   23:08     Lipolysis in week one 25:24     Culling association to hyperketonemia 26:15     BCS association to culling 27:27     Impact of stable BCS 28:14     Prevalence and goals for HYK 29:07     Rumen protected niacin for the transition herd 31:01     Transition BCS recommendations 32:05     Take away for boots on the ground dairy producers Featured Article: Associations of Body Condition Score, Body Condition Score Change, and Hyperketonemia with Mastitis, Reproduction, and Milk Production #2xAg2030; #journalofdairyscience; #openaccess; #MODAIRY; #InvisibleCow; #BCS; #ketosis; #pregnancyloss; #Maturecow; #transitiondairy; #HYK; #lipolysis; #dairysciencedigest; #ReaganBluel;

With legions of die-hard customers, Dave Smith Decoys have long been regarded as the most realistic and utterly effective decoys available. But who is the man behind these legendary craft decoys, and what does his functional art say about him as a hunter and a human being? You'd have to figure him a serious goose hunter if nothing else. Legendary decoy maker Dave Smith describes growing up hunting and trapping in Oregon, artistic influences, starting a decoy company, and more. We get deep into the many various goose species hunted in Oregon, why regular ol' honker decoys aren't effective in luring various species, hunting techniques, leg bands and neck collars, new DSD duck decoys, turkey decoys, what makes his DSD best, and continually striving to be better.

Sasha and Stella welcome Aaron Kimberly back to the show, nearly a year after her first appearance on the podcast. Aaron has undergone a remarkable transformation, returning to her female identity and embracing a new understanding and acceptance of herself. This episode delves into Aaron's complex journey of self-discovery, shaped by her unique experiences with a rare ovotesticular disorder of sex development (DSD), her longstanding identity as a butch lesbian, and the medical, professional, and social experiences that have shaped her path.In this episode, Aaron examines the role of the butch lesbian community that once fostered a vital sense of belonging—a community that, as she remarks, has largely faded, leaving young butch lesbians with limited support. She suggests that this shift might be contributing to the increased rates of medical transition among younger lesbians today. Her deep commitment to understanding the diverse reasons for sex non-conformity, coupled with her involvement in lesbian communities, has cultivated her interest in the cultural contexts of gender and atypical bodies, often pathologized or medicalized in society.This is an incredibly compelling conversation reflecting on the evolving relationship between lesbian identity, butch identity, and the implications of a medicalized appearance.

What does the Terminator, artificial intelligence, and Bang Energy founder (and former CEO) Jack Owoc have in common? Well…if you hadn't seen the recent energy drinks market news yet, it's probably A LOT more than you imagined! For those that didn't see the announcement yet, Bang Energy founder (and former CEO) Jack Owoc is launching a new energy drink called AI Energy. And if you were wondering…the AI in AI Energy does indeed pay homage to artificial intelligence technology. In fact, many aspects of AI Energy from its visual identity to its digital media assets were developed with AI image generation software. According to the website, AI Energy will utilize a 12-oz sleek can and initially be available in four flavor variants. Based on the earlier comments from Jack Owoc (and seeing the supplement facts panel), AI Energy will be within what I call the “focus, cognition, and nootropic” segment of the performance energy drinks subcategory. Beyond the typical exclusionary callouts (like zero sugar or artificial colors) within the performance energy drink subcategory, Jack Owoc focuses on three other (let's call them lesser known by the mainstream market) ingredient concerns that are avoided by AI Energy that includes natural caffeine, cyanocobalamin (synthetic form of vitamin B12), and alpha GPC. As for the retail, distribution, and marketing strategy for AI Energy, Jack Owoc is going back to his VPX Sports roots by working with “nutrition and gym channel” distributors Europa Sports Partners and Muscle Foods USA. But beyond focusing on those small but influential sales channels for performance energy drinks, AI Energy will also build out an independent DSD network to service convenience stores and large retail accounts…with my assumption being that many will be previous partners that helped grow Bang Energy before the initial PepsiCo buyout. And then another strategy that Jack Owoc is planning to leverage from his previous Bang Energy success is that large roster of social media influencers. Yet, beyond a few of those strategic commercialization commonalities…you'll notice Jack Owoc has shifted from the “let's own everything” asset-heavy business model of Bang Energy to now an asset-light approach. But with a brand name like AI Energy…deploying AI in a manner that can condense operations, write distributor contracts, and/or design visual aspects would be aligned with its strategic narrative, right? But with that being said…my wonder surrounds why AI Energy would even work want to work with hundreds or thousands of social media influencers again anyways, especially when there's swarms of virtual influencers that are looking more like humans each day. Regardless of how that AI marketing strategy ultimately plays out…my guess is that many of you are wondering if I think AI Energy will be successful or not. And I'll explore that in this content...which has some intermingling with my thoughts around the race within the CPG industry to capture value from artificial intelligence.

DSD 5.10 | Rumen friendly fatty acids in High Oleic Beans Soybeans and dairy cows have walked hand for decades. These oil beans are known specifically for the amino acid sequence in their high-quality protein and energy to support lactation. Recent developments in plant breeding has shifted the fat profile of the bean contain a higher amount of Oleic fat, which is easier for the rumen to digest, in certain varieties.  Substituting linoleic acid for higher concentrations of oleic allows nutritionists to increase the inclusion rate in the diet and therefore support the herd during times of high production. This month we feature an article from  Dr. Adam Lock and his team at Michigan State University as highlighting research generated from on-farm questions. Ensuring producers know how much to feed, and how to feed high oleic soybeans to the herd was the objective of a series of research projects in the pipeline of publications due to come from MSU in the coming months and years.

Send Cathy a text:)In this episode, I dive deep into essential mindset strategies tailored specifically for caregivers, drawing from recent insights gained in a transformative mindset training. I explore two powerful techniques—DSD (Do Something Different) and CCC (Catch, Cancel, Correct)—that can help caregivers navigate the emotional and mental challenges of their demanding roles. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a rut, or in need of a fresh perspective, these strategies offer practical ways to inject more joy and resilience into your daily caregiving journey.Through relatable stories and real-life examples, I share how DSD encourages caregivers to break free from monotonous routines by introducing small, meaningful changes, such as trying new activities, altering daily schedules, or reorganizing the home environment. Meanwhile, CCC provides a framework for managing negative thoughts by identifying them, acknowledging their impact, and replacing them with positive alternatives. Building these mindset muscles takes time and consistent practice, but the rewards are invaluable—enhanced well-being, reduced stress, and a more positive outlook on caregiving.Join me as we share actionable tips and inspiring client scenarios that demonstrate how these mindset practices can transform your caregiving experience. By integrating DSD and CCC into your routine, you can empower yourself to handle challenges with greater ease and find moments of joy amidst the demands of caregiving. Tune in to discover how small shifts in your mindset can lead to significant improvements in your daily life and overall resilience.Ready to take your caregiving journey to the next level?Work with me to create a plan that brings balance and joy back into your life.

A conversation with coach Kerry McGawley, PhD. She is a Professor at Mid Sweden University with a broad research agenda in the female athlete, and menstruation effects on training, and racing performance. She is a coach and 2x age group world champion in triathlon. Professor McGawley engages in a science centered conversation around the protected women's category in sport and explanation and implications of athletes with DSD.  We talk about the paper she co-authored with other scientists and unpacks the evidence and critique of the IOC's 2021 framework aimed at providing governing bodies with guidelines for fairness and inclusion.  Professor McGawley gives her dissemination of a common rebuttal regarding performance advantage (i.e., Phelps advantages).  Finally, Professor McGawley provides listeners with the key considerations that athletes/coaches should be aware of regarding the menstrual cycle, and the impact on female athlete training, racing and performance. She also comments on contraception influences.  About Kerry McGawley, PhDhttps://www.miun.se/en/personnel/m/kerrymcgawley/  Kerry McGawley, PhD Instagram:https://instagram.com/kerrymcgawley Kerry McGawley, PhD Twitter/X:https://x.com/KerryMcGawley  Kerry McGawley, PhD  Co-Authored Paper:The International Olympic Committee framework on fairness, inclusion and nondiscrimination on the basis of gender identity and sex variations does not protect fairness for female athletes https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/sms.14581   Follow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvX: https://x.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTvSupport Us:https://Patreon.com/Endurancehttps://paypal.me/EnduranceExperience    

Prof Alun Williams of Manchester Metropolitan University who's research focuses on the genetics of human physical performance, injury risk, health and it's relation to sex categories in sport. The transgender athlete and DSD athlete debate hit a new height in the 2024 Olympics. But what does the science suggest about this highly debated area in sports? Are we focusing on the moral and social elements to a scientific answer? Expect to learn; the differences between trans-athletes and DSD athletes, why it's possible for federations to have the same policies on trans-athletes, the ethics of trans-athlete and DSD testing, the effects of lowering testosterone in trans-women athletes, how much of your performance is down to genetics or training, how your genetics can predict injury risk, and much more.

The IOC and big tech can't suppress what we all know to be true. A man is defined by his chromosomes, not his DSD. Imane Khelif, for whatever else he might be, isn't a woman, and doesn't deserve applause for being allowed to beat up actual women. Dr. Morse explains six things we have learned from this fiasco.   Get more details about transgenderism: https://ruthinstitute.org/defend-against-transgenderism/   Visit our transgender resource center here: https://ruthinstitute.org/resource-centers/father-sullins-research/transgender/   Visit our friends at ACPEDs for more trustworthy information on transgenderism: https://acpeds.org/topics/sexuality-issues-of-youth/gender-confusion-and-transgender-identity/deconstructing-transgender-pediatrics   Learn more about how to deal with gender dysphoria: https://transregret.com/   If you regret your sex change, you can reach out to Walt Heyer at: https://sexchangeregret.com/   Watch our playlist on the science of transgenderism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWNDeaRiQ9Q&list=PLSi2OoPf_APtMaIwFZe79sV3xU0VefkCD   Watch our playlist on the stories of people impacted by transgender ideology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nMGzxZWS-I&list=PLSi2OoPf_APsYzdIIFqs1GW13Yrk5Yqe9   Have a question or a comment?

In this episode, Wendy Liebmann talks to Sri Rajagopalan, co-founder and co-host of The GPG Guys and founder of Think Blue, about the fast-changing dynamics of retail, what's plaguing board rooms,  and what retail leaders needs to address right now.They discuss:Retail's number one problem post-Covid: driving volumeHow digital influences virtually every purchase Why the role of the in-store end cap is significantly diminished nowThe urgent need for marketers to get away from their data and their desks to see what's going on at the shelf (and why DSD companies have the edge because they're in the stores all the time)The erosion of national brand shelf space (by smaller and private brands)Why (old world) full-funnel marketing is more essential than ever.  (Lower-funnel is not the answer.) How consumer-centricity is key to all decisions.  (No argument from us!)Why investing in innovation is more important than ever.Visit our website for transcripts and video podcasts.

JK Rowling howled! JK Rowling-haters roared back at her! Has anyone ever cared this much about women's boxing?This actually isn't a story about trans women in sports — though it kicked up plenty of opinions about that subject — but a more nuanced discussion of how genetic abnormalities should play out in athletics. Our roving conversation covers:* DSD cases (Differences in sexual development)* Why is boxing called “the sweet science”?* The spectacle of women being hit —> kind of uncomfortable* Title IX was never intended to expand women's sports, but it did anyway* What kind of sports do girls want to play?* The golden age of female trick riders* Stella Walsh, early intersex Olympic champion* How much do men hate seeing women cry?* The old Italian woman who yells Sarah to sleep each night* But wait: What is a man?… and much more!REMINDER: First Sunday Zoom TONIGHT! 5pm PT/8pm ET.

And if this is too big of a commitment, I'm always thankful for a simple cup of coffee.]You may or may not have a relative or friend or acquaintance in your life who has posted on social media in the past few days, quite sardonically, that there's a lot of money to be made in betting on Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who just made it to the semifinals of women's boxing in the 66kg weight class at the Paris Olympics.The past several days have seen a deluge of disinformation across the internet regarding Ms. Khelif, whose sex has been called into question because she was simply too good in her Olympics match against Italy's Angela Carini, who gave up 46 seconds into their bout and then implied Ms. Khelif may not be a fair competitor.Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, J.K. Rowling, rightwing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and YouTube star Logan Paul, among others, have viciously spread vile propaganda that Ms. Khelif is actually a man, not only smearing her reputation with transphobic and misogynistic nonsense but also likely putting her in danger.To be clear, there are three trans athletes in the Paris Olympics, none of whom are trans women. You can read more about them right here. But hey, it's been interesting to watch the response of sports betting markets!That's probably why your “very concerned” relative insisted on plunking down a wad of cash on Ms. Khelif winning the Gold Medal in her weight class, despite simultaneously dehumanizing her.Let's review how betting odds work. 1. The better the odds for an athlete winning, the lower they yield for bettors. Ms. Khelif, for example, currently has -500 odds on Fanduel. This has jumped substantially in light of the anti-trans propaganda online this week.That means a bettor has to wager $5 on her in order to make $1. The question then becomes: would you put down $500 to make $100? Some folks would, but it's pretty risky. It's even riskier when you consider that the odds are very likely inflated due to the incomplete reporting on Ms. Khelif over the past several days. That brings me to my second point. 2. Ms. Khelif has a 42-9 record. She has lost previously to nine other women. Nine. That includes a loss to Amy Broadhurst of Ireland in the World Boxing Championships, who is among the women loudly defending Ms. Khelif against these horrid accusations. Nine times she's lost to other women in the ring. Think about that. That brings me to my third point.3. There has been no evidence presented that Ms. Khelif has XY chromosomes, but a woman having XY chromosomes does not mean she's a man. Contrary to what I think most of us were taught in 6th grade biology, there are non-trans women with XY chromosomes and non-trans men with XX chromosomes. This is long-established science. You can read more about it here. There is also no evidence that Ms. Khelif has differences in sexual development (DSD) or Swyer's Syndrome or any other condition that may present her chromosomal status as having substantially "male" sex characteristics. That brings me to my fourth point. 4. Ms. Khelif was disqualified by the IBA last year in incredibly murky circumstances. The International Boxing Association (IBA) refused to be transparent about their testing methodology, which, in itself, is bonkers. Her disqualification just so happened to come three days after she beat Russian boxer Azalia Amineva in the semfinals of the IBA Women's World Championship. The IBA has strong, documented ties to the Russian government. Its president, Umar Kremlev, is a Russian citizen. He also serves on the Executive Committee of Russia's boxing federation. After becoming its president in 2020, Mr. Kremlev moved the IBA's operations to Russia and made Gazprom, Russia's state-owned energy company, its sole sponsor. Mr. Kremlev is an associate of Putin, which feels pretty redundant to state after all the above. All of this, plus a number of other concerns over corruption, led to the International Olympic Committee, last year, stripping the IBA as an eligibility authority for the Paris Olympics. In response, Mr. Kremlev called IOC President Thomas Bach a "chief sodomite." Classy. That brings me to my fifth point. 5. Ms. Khelif's country, Algeria, is notoriously anti-LGBTQ. The rights of queer Algerians is abysmal. Are there non-LGBTQ Algerians who support equality? Of course, but the Algerian government does not. It is illegal to be transgender in Algeria. It is impossible for a trans woman to obtain an Algerian passport indicating her as female. Ms. Khelif would literally not be able to leave the country with a female passport if she were transgender, which she is not. Of course, this is further moot given that 1) Ms. Khelif's father has provided her birth certificate establishing she was assigned female at birth and 2) trans women are barred from competing in boxing at the Olympics. That brings me to my sixth point. 6. This isn't really about whether or not Ms. Khelif is a woman. It's about women athletes only being valid when they meet arbitrary standards of femininity as defined through the male gaze. Women athletes as varied as Serena Williams and Katie Ledecky—whom I think most of us would agree are gorgeous (not that it should matter, of course)—have been targeted in the past by vile rumors that they aren't really women. Because they're too damn good and aspects of their bodies may not align with the absurd and arbitrary expectations of the male gaze. Women can be successful in the male gaze if, and only if, they please the male gaze. And even then, not really. That brings me to my final point. 7. Male athletes don't deal with this nonsense. When a man is stronger and faster, preternaturally gifted, has extraordinary biological deviations from the norm, he is celebrated and mythologized. When a male boxer KOs their opponent in the first ten seconds of a bout, it is cause for adulation. When a woman does it, she is suspect. Sounds a lot like misogyny to me. Of course, Angela Carini, the Italian boxer whom Ms. Khelif defeated in that bout that launched this whole controversy, recognized this within a day of the match. She said: "All this controversy certainly made me sad, and I also felt sorry for my opponent, she had nothing to do with it and like me was only here to fight... It was not intentional, in fact I apologize to her and to everyone. I was angry, because my Games had already gone up in smoke. I have nothing against Khelif and on the contrary if I happened to meet her again I would give her a hug." She hasn't been the only one to back off. The Boston Globe released a rare statement apologizing for their sloppy reporting on the story, and Logan Paul released a statement backpedaling on his claims. I'm gonna leave it there. So, if your relative would like to risk $500 to win $100 on all this controversy and disinformation surrounding Ms. Khelif, they are welcome to do so.

Imane Khelif is at the center of controversy after defeating Angela Carini in boxing at the Olympics. Reportedly having XY chromosomes, Khelif is said to have DSD and did not transition but has always lived the life of a girl/woman. Nonetheless, it's still not fair for Khelif to compete against women.Listen to Part 1 here. Watch Part I here.To watch this current episode, Part 2, click here.SUBSCRIBE. LIKE. COMMENT RESPECTFULLY.

Ross and Gareth look back on Day 2 in Paris, which was characterized by dominance for some, despair for others, and defeats by the tiniest of margins - milliseconds and magnifying glasses. We also tackle cupping, tell the truth about lactate and fatigue, and discuss a looming controversy about males in women's sport, thanks to the IOC's leadership. On the deck:Swimming on night 2 produced a French gold and dominant win for Leon Marchand, and gold by the smallest of margins by Nicolo MartinenghiWe correct some errors in understanding of lactate's role in fatigue, as explained by the BBC in Paris two nights agoThe Mountain Biking produced an even more dominant win for France, with Pauline Ferrand Prevot destroying the competition. Crashes and bad luck punctuated the hunt for the medals she left behindA DSD controversy is growing, where both boxing and football have cases in women's events. The IOC have already acted to create this situation, and won't intervene, leaving the issue to build, to the detriment of women's fairness and safetyWe look ahead to Day 3, where the men's MTB should produce a closer battle for gold, and where five golds are on offer in the pool.Show notesHere's where you go to sign up for Patron, with a small monthly pledge, which then gives you access to the richness of the Discourse forum mentioned on the show Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In typical reproductive system development, recall that the intermediate mesoderm forms the mesonephric (Wolffian) and paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts and the indifferent gonads; primitive germ cells migrate into the indifferent gonads. These are the structures that become the internal organs of the reproductive systems. After listening to this AudioBrick, you should be able to: Describe the normal development of male and female reproductive systems. Compare and contrast anomalies of the uterus and vagina arising in the female reproductive system. Compare and contrast anomalies of the testes, scrotum, and penile urethra arising in the male reproductive system. Compare and contrast disorders of sexual development (DSD): ovotesticular DSD, 46 XX DSD, and 46 XY DSD.
