Agroforst oder auch Agroforstwirtschaft ist eine spezielle Landnutzungsform. Dabei werden Bäume oder Sträucher mit landwirtschaftlichen Kulturen oder Viehhaltung kombiniert. Beispielsweise können Rinder unter Bäumen weiden oder in Streifen gepflanzte Pappeln sorgen für ein spezielles Mikroklima, von dem das Getreide auf dem Feld profitieren kann. Allerdings gibt es einige Punkte zu beachten. Deshalb sollten Landwirte sehr gut planen, welche Gehölze und welche Ackerkulturen zusammenpassen. Unser Gast Ulrich Kotzbauer aus Rerik in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ist Agroforst-Experte. 2019 hat er den Deutschen Fachverband für Agroforstwirtschaft (DeFAF) mitgegründet. Auf seinem Betrieb hat er mit seinen Partnern auch Agroforst-Systeme gepflanzt. Denn für ihn liegen die Vorteile klar auf der Hand: eine bessere Resilienz bei Trockenheit, Schutz vor Bodenerosion, Grundwasserschutz, Klimaschutz, Förderung der Biodiversität und wirtschaftliche Vorteile. Im Podcast erzählt er Landwirtin Maja Mogwitz und Stadtkind Kuhlage vieles weitere spannende, was die Agroforstwirtschaft für ihn ausmacht.

In this very casual chat Sam Powell & Jaryd Krause from propertypals.au interview me to discuss:

In this conversation, I share my thoughts on a subject that is close to my heart—the death of culture through the loss of integrity and values.I reflect on what integrity truly means, the traditional values that once shaped us but are now fading, and the painful effects this erosion has on families, schools, leadership, and society. Most importantly, I point to where restoration must begin and the steps we all, especially young people, can take to rebuild.I invite you to listen, reflect, and join in this urgent call to restore integrity at the very core of our culture.

People living right on the beach on the central coast of New South Wales say they are sitting ducks as coastal erosion shrinks the beach frontage protecting their homes.  

A sinkhole does not start out as a huge hole in the ground. It starts with a bit of erosion of the foundation underneath that over time, causes the surface to finally sink. Our faith can also be eroded, not usually by the big issue of life, but by having our foundation erode over time. In this podcast, we will talk about the erosion that can happen and how to Restore your Foundation so a sinkhole does not occur in your life.    To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

In this candid episode, Alicia gets real about something most stepmoms won't say out loud: you want to be over your partner's past… but reminders keep ambushing you—kids' faces, old photos, in-law stories, even the house you live in. She explains why your brain grabs the past when you don't feel safe, the hidden cost of re-hashing old wounds, and a step-by-step plan to stop using history as ammunition so you can build the future you actually want.Who this is for:Stepmoms who feel caught between “I'm fine” and “I'm about to bring up 2014 again.” If you've ever tossed a decades-old moment into a current disagreement, this one's for you.What you'll learn:Why the past feels so present: Safety responses, stepfamily triggers, and the comparison trap (you're not “first,” so it feels like you'll never “come first”).The real cost of holding on: Erosion of trust, the resentment loop, and how re-reading old chapters keeps you from writing new ones.Six tools to move forward (without pretending it never happened):Catch the trigger in real timeSeparate past from presentJournal it (hello, Ex-Files) instead of dumping it on your partnerChoose your future over your fear (simple visualization prompt)Forgiveness vs. boundaries (what each one actually does)Shift the self-talk: from “I'll never measure up” to “I am the present and the future”Key takeawaysWhen you don't feel safe, your brain reaches for “proven” past evidence to protect you. That doesn't mean it serves your relationship now.The more you punish your partner for the past, the less space there is to create something new—today.You are not in competition with their past. You are their present and future.Boundaries protect you; expectations attempt to control them. Keep them separate.If the roles were reversed, you wouldn't want your old chapters thrown at you either.Related episodes & resourcesEpisode 111 – Spiraling: Why It Happens & How to Feel Safe Again → aliciakrasko.com/111Episode 110 – The Secret Journal Every Stepmom Should Have (Your “Ex-Files”) → aliciakrasko.com/110Want a specific topic covered?

This week on AgweekTV, opponents of two large dairies planned for North Dakota speak out about their environmental concerns. We'll show you a unique effort to draw attention to the importance of conservation efforts on the farm. We'll take a closer look at the effects of wind erosion near Westport, Minnesota. And it's sunflower season — we'll talk to a farmer who says it's his most profitable crop.  

In dieser Folge von einfach Komplex sprechen Alexander Blunk (zugeschaltet aus Dresden) und Gregor Vollmer-Fuchs (aus Magdeburg) darüber, was Loyalität wirklich bedeutet – jenseits von „Treue um jeden Preis“. Wir schauen auf den Ursprung (Vertrauen, Reziprozität, geteilte Werte), die Entwicklung (Investitionen, Commitment, Sunk-Cost-Effekt) und typische Bruchstellen (Vertrauensbruch, Disbalance, Wertverletzung, neue Bindungen, Erosion). Mit persönlichen Beispielen aus Fußball, Freundschaften und Arbeitsalltag wird greifbar, wann Loyalität stärkt – und wann „blinde Loyalität“ uns schadet. Am Ende steht ein klarer Takeaway: Erwartungsmanagement und das regelmäßige Abgleichen eigener Bedürfnisse halten Beziehungen gesund.

By Selva Ozelli Esq, CPA, Author of Sustainably Investing in Digital Assets Globally. In this interview she talks with Digital Artist Des Lucrece Des Lucrece, Digital Artist interviewed by Selva Ozelli Tell us about your journey to becoming a digital artist and why you prefer the digital art medium over others? My journey into digital art started out of necessity. I didn't have access to traditional materials or studio space growing up, but I did have a tablet, a bootleg copy of Photoshop, and time. Drawing digitally gave me the flexibility to work from anywhere, to experiment without fear of wasting materials, and to iterate endlessly in a way that left no physical traces. Over time, those tools became more than a means to an end - they became an extension of how I think. After earning my BFA with a focus in design, I worked in the branding world, but I never felt creatively fulfilled. On a whim, I applied for an artist residency in Tokyo. I didn't think I was qualified, but I got in - and it changed everything. I lived with five artists from different backgrounds who were years ahead of me in their practices. Their advice was simple but transformative: Make what's true to you and show it to everyone who'll look. That's where the seeds for Des Lucréce were planted. I created the alias as both a shield and a reflection of my identity - a nod to my Vietnamese roots, my love of French philosophy, and the long history of artists adopting personas to carve out their own space. I started posting the work I'd hidden for years, and it found an audience. Going digital wasn't just a practical choice - it was philosophical. The internet, like my identity, is fragmented, contradictory, and constantly under revision. Digital art gave me a space where those contradictions weren't weaknesses - they were the language. Digitized Decentralized Identification seems to be the way of the future https://crypto.news/decentralized-identifier-systems-are-key-to-the-future/. Tell us about your latest series "The Erosion of Time and Neo-Techne: Art in the Age of the Machine" on exhibit at the Art Light Museum which invites audiences to explore themes of identity, displacement, and innovation in the digital age. The Erosion of Time is my most ambitious exhibition to date - a fully immersive, 3,500-square-foot installation that blends animation, light, sound, and architectural scale to explore memory, cultural fragmentation, and the impermanence of digital identity. Exhibited at the Museum of Art + Light, the show is paired with Neo-Techne, a group exhibition that situates my work in dialogue with questions about technology, automation, and what it means to make art in a machine-mediated era. Thematically, the exhibition builds on the idea that our identities - particularly as second-generation immigrants or culturally displaced people - are constantly eroding and being rewritten. We leave traces everywhere, yet feel rooted nowhere. The show uses a combination of celestial imagery, shifting landscapes, and meditative pacing to give form to this emotional terrain. There's also a literal decay built into the projections - subtle loops where forms fall apart and reform, referencing both the fragility of memory and the persistence of digital traces. There's also a physical component to the show. I've created exclusive merchandise - plush figures and wearables - that extend the work beyond the screen. For me, this is about expanding Des Monsters into the everyday: they're not just artworks, they're avatars, totems, and mirrors of the self. It's a way to let the work travel with people, and blur the line between art, identity, and utility. What are your thoughts about the US Government's latest focus on digital assets ? Will this help institutional investment in NFTs in your opinion? It's a double-edged sword. On one hand, regulatory clarity could unlock more institutional investment, which would legitimize NFTs in spaces still resistant to them. It might m...

Deep dive with Dan Hendrycks, a leading AI safety researcher and co-author of the "Superintelligence Strategy" paper with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang.*** SPONSOR MESSAGESGemini CLI is an open-source AI agent that brings the power of Gemini directly into your terminal - https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cliProlific: Quality data. From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://prolific.com/mlst?utm_campaign=98404559-MLST&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=script-gen***Hendrycks argues that society is making a fundamental mistake in how it views artificial intelligence. We often compare AI to transformative but ultimately manageable technologies like electricity or the internet. He contends a far better and more realistic analogy is nuclear technology. Like nuclear power, AI has the potential for immense good, but it is also a dual-use technology that carries the risk of unprecedented catastrophe.The Problem with an AI "Manhattan Project":A popular idea is for the U.S. to launch a "Manhattan Project" for AI—a secret, all-out government race to build a superintelligence before rivals like China. Hendrycks argues this strategy is deeply flawed and dangerous for several reasons:- It wouldn't be secret. You cannot hide a massive, heat-generating data center from satellite surveillance.- It would be destabilizing. A public race would alarm rivals, causing them to start their own desperate, corner-cutting projects, dramatically increasing global risk.- It's vulnerable to sabotage. An AI project can be crippled in many ways, from cyberattacks that poison its training data to physical attacks on its power plants. This is what the paper refers to as a "maiming attack."This vulnerability leads to the paper's central concept: Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM). This is the AI-era version of the nuclear-era's Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). In this dynamic, any nation that makes an aggressive, destabilizing bid for a world-dominating AI must expect its rivals to sabotage the project to ensure their own survival. This deterrence, Hendrycks argues, is already the default reality we live in.A Better Strategy: The Three PillarsInstead of a reckless race, the paper proposes a more stable, three-part strategy modeled on Cold War principles:- Deterrence: Acknowledge the reality of MAIM. The goal should not be to "win" the race to superintelligence, but to deter anyone from starting such a race in the first place through the credible threat of sabotage.- Nonproliferation: Just as we work to keep fissile materials for nuclear bombs out of the hands of terrorists and rogue states, we must control the key inputs for catastrophic AI. The most critical input is advanced AI chips (GPUs). Hendrycks makes the powerful claim that building cutting-edge GPUs is now more difficult than enriching uranium, making this strategy viable.- Competitiveness: The race between nations like the U.S. and China should not be about who builds superintelligence first. Instead, it should be about who can best use existing AI to build a stronger economy, a more effective military, and more resilient supply chains (for example, by manufacturing more chips domestically).Dan says the stakes are high if we fail to manage this transition:- Erosion of Control- Intelligence Recursion- Worthless LaborHendrycks maintains that while the risks are existential, the future is not set.

n this episode, Rob Brown exposes a subtle but widespread issue in accounting firms: silent firing.**You haven't been let go. But you're no longer invited to meetings. Projects go to others. Nobody is talking about your future. You feel sidelined. Not officially, not publicly, but unmistakably.This is silent firing. And it's happening across the profession.This is episode four in a six-part series on the broken career ladder in accounting. Rob Brown explains how good people are being quietly pushed out without the firm ever saying a word. And more importantly, he shares what professionals can do when their career stalls without warning.*Key Takeaways:*➜ Silent firing is career drift by design➜ It affects high performers who stop being visible➜ AI, private equity and leadership churn increase the risk➜ Being left out of projects is a warning sign➜ Visibility and value must be actively managed➜ You must self-advocate or risk fading away*Killer Quotes:*"You're not in trouble. You're invisible.""Silent firing is when nobody tells you to leave, but nobody asks you to stay either.""Being ignored is not neutral. It's negative.""You can't wait for recognition. You have to reassert your relevance.""If your job is shrinking quietly, that is a signal.""This is not about performance. It's about presence.""You're not broken. You're unclaimed. That can be fixed."The Accounting Influencers Podcast (AIP) is aimed at accounting firm leaders, managers and partners looking to build their executive presence, influence and credibility both internally and externally.You can find this on youtube here: https://youtu.be/a-pfvBt8RBU◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢The Accounting Influencers Podcast serves accounting firm leaders, managers and partners looking to build their executive presence, influence and credibility both internally and externally.

Former Latvian Defense Minister Dr. Artis Pabriks joins us with a stark warning: the West still misunderstands Russia's long-term ambitions—and its slow, fragmented response to the war in Ukraine is already reshaping Europe's future. From Belarus's silent absorption to NATO's fragile cohesion, Pabriks argues the stakes couldn't be higher.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever tried running a business like it's a utility function? Today's guest has. CJ is joined by Michaela Lehr, a seasoned FP&A leader and former CFO of ActionIQ, who breaks down how CFOs can pull levers like growth, retention, margin, and cash runway to maximize value without blowing something up. Michaela explains how not all growth is created equal and why how you grow matters as much as how much you grow. She talks about gross margin as the most sensitive area of the P&L and how to communicate with engineers about their impacts on it. The conversation also covers the rise of “experimental recurring revenue” in AI-first products, why investors are obsessed with net dollar retention, the risks of over-servicing customers, looking out for your own finance team, and what it means to budget in the real world when everything changes after board approval.—LINKS:Michaela Lehr on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaela-lehr-2908996/ActionIQ: https://www.uniphore.com/actioniqCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: Loveable: https://lovable.devCanva: https://www.canva.comConcourse: https://www.concourse.co—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:20) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(07:33) What It Means To Run a Company Like a Utility Function(10:45) An Example of Optimising for This Utility Function Regarding AI Spend(15:36) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(19:35) Less Visible but High-Impact Levers That Drive Revenue(22:15) Gating Headcount Based on Performance Milestones(25:09) Cloud Costs as a Hidden Lever(27:30) Why How You Grow Matters As Much as How Much You Grow(30:08) Professional Services as a Necessary Investment(32:43) What ERR (Experimental Recurring Revenue) Is(36:39) Margin As the Most Sensitive Area of the P&L(38:13) Communicating With Engineers About Gross Margin(41:56) Why Investors Care So Much About Net Dollar Attention(43:53) Making Sure Your Upsells Don't Mask a Churn Problem(44:40) What Over-Servicing Your Customer Looks Like(46:58) Why the “Just Give Me My Budget” Mindset Doesn't Work(49:23) Brokering the Budget With Execs in Real Time(51:38) Looking Out for Your Own Team as a CFO(56:26) The First Sign of an Erosion of Trust(59:50) Finance's Role in Upholding Capital-T Truth(1:01:31) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A COVID-Era Multitasking Mistake(1:02:06 ) Advice to Younger Self(1:04:07) Michaela's Favorite Finance Tool(1:04:17) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

What happens when citizens lose faith in the institutions that serve them? And how can we rebuild that trust?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm speaking to someone who cares passionately about this subject and who has made it her life's work to research and solve it.  From politicians who lie, to corruption scandals, to public services that simply don't work the way we expect—especially when we're paying taxes and getting poor value—something feels broken. I want to know: how do we understand and respond to that breakdown of faith?Libby Maman, founder and CEO of Luminata, whose work turns abstract values like transparency, accountability, participation and inclusiveness into tangible, measurable trust indicators.We dig into why conventional approaches to rebuilding trust often backfire, and how designing systems that measure the right things can actually shift organisational behaviour for the better.You'll hear not only how trust can be mapped, measured and managed—but why that matters. We challenge assumptions: do metrics actually undermine trust? Or can they signal seriousness, credibility and responsiveness? Libby shares concrete examples of stakeholder‑led indicators, behavioural logic in gamification, and the limitations and opportunities of measuring democratic values.Guest Biography: Libby MamanLibby Maman is a researcher and systems designer working at the intersection of public policy, behavioural science and institutional design. She is the founder and CEO of Luminata, a consultancy that partners with governments and civil society to build measurable trust frameworks.  Libby's broader background spans academia, consulting and public sector work.Her research focuses on translating democratic norms—such as transparency, accountability and inclusiveness—into practical metrics that organisations can both implement and act on. Through Luminata, she has worked with national and local governments to co‑design trust indicators that respond to real stakeholder needs and drive change.AI-Generated Timestamp Summary[00:00:00] Introduction: Declining trust in public bodies and the stakes of measurement[00:02:45] Libby's background and mission at Luminata[00:05:30] Why traditional trust-building (PR, appeals to values) often fails[00:10:15] Designing trust indicators: transparency, accountability, participation, inclusiveness[00:15:40] Co‑design with stakeholders to ensure relevance and buy‑in[00:20:10] Behavioural logic: how metrics can motivate institutional change[00:25:00] Risks of aspirational vs realistic measurement targets[00:30:00] Trust-politicisation: when metrics become tools of power[00:35:20] Case examples of gamified measurement and its impact[00:40:00] The relationship between trust-building and voluntary compliance[00:45:30] Limitations: measurement isn't magic—but it's a start[00:50:00] Final reflections on what organisations must do to grow trustLinks:Libby's website - Luminata website (Libby's consultancy) Libby on LinkedIn Relevant Previous EpisodesProfessor Yuval Feldman on why we should write rules for good people not bad peopleProfessor Yuval Feldman on Trust & Voluntary ComplianceHilary Sutcliffe on TrustDr Jake Mazulewicz on Human Reliability

On today's show, we confront the growing and deeply troubling trend of politicizing tragedy—specifically, the devastating floods that have ravaged parts of Texas. These floods have claimed innocent lives, including those of young girls, and left countless families shattered in their wake. Rather than uniting in grief, compassion, and support, some individuals on social media have chosen instead to weaponize the disaster for political gain.Shockingly, posts have surfaced directly blaming President Trump and his supporters for the natural disaster—some even suggesting that those affected "got what they deserved." This type of rhetoric isn't just distasteful; it's morally bankrupt. To suggest that political affiliation somehow justifies death or suffering is a line that should never be crossed. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderRed, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, to explore the growing disconnect between the American people and their government. He explains why Americans no longer trust government and how to fix it. As public trust continues to erode, Meckler breaks down how entrenched bureaucracy, unpunished corruption, and an unaccountable political class have warped the system beyond recognition. They also discuss the potential of third-party movements like Elon Musk's and why the Convention of States may be the only real solution to restore constitutional principles, enforce term limits, and rein in runaway spending. Episode Highlights: The Convention of States offers a constitutional path to implement term limits, enforce fiscal restraints, and shrink the federal bureaucracy. Elon Musk's rumored third-party movement could fracture the GOP and reshape political coalitions. America's unelected bureaucratic class now functions as an unaccountable fourth branch of government.
