(Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Two episodes ago we found out that ants are farmers, at least some species of ants are farmers and they are amazingly well organized and productive farmers. The other side of sustained food production is ranching. Ranching is a form of agriculture focused on raising livestock for various uses. Are ants ranchers? Let's find out! The eighth thing I like about ants is their ranching activities. For those of you listening in order, last episode we learned about the Weaver ants of Africa that live in trees. They are some of the coolest ants out there with special physical adaptations  and behavioral adaptations that help them survive in the tree. One of the activities I didn't talk about, because I was saving it for this episode, is their ranching. The weaver ants, Oecophylla longinoda, use other insects as a form of food resources. Now they do hunt other insects and tear them apart and eat the bits, but they also corral certain insects and use the honeydew that those insects produce as food. Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, and scale insects are some of the “cattle” that Weaver ants utilize. These insects are all sap-sucking species that tap a plant for it's sap and drink it. The ants love the honeydew, or doo-doo, that comes out the other end of these insects. Yes, that's correct, the ants are eating their excrement which is actually more nutritious than nectar.  The Weaver ants are protective of their livestock keeping them from harm and moving them to fresher pastures, just like human cowboys. They often build leaf tents over and around their charges keeping them hidden from predators and controlling their movements so they can gather the honeydew for as long as the insect lives.  Who knew ants were ranchers? It's not only Weaver ants that exhibit this behavior.  Some species of Formica ants are also ranchers. They will tend similar insects as the Weavers including Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, scale insects as well as whiteflies and aphids. I found several papers talking about the relationship between Formica ants and aphids. They really treat these aphids like humans treat cattle. The ants tend them, watching them to protect them from predators, they will pick them up and remove them from a plant when danger arises (okay humans can't pick up cattle, but we can escort them to another area when needed), and when the part of the plant that the aphids are eating from begins to run dry the ants will take them to greener pastures. The ants are after the honeydew, of course, the excrement from the aphids, just like the Weaver ants. It is high in concentrated sugars and carbohydrates that keep the ants running.   Giant ants, Camponotus gigas, from the tropical forests of Borneo herd wax cicadas. They are incredibly well organized in their herding and perform three behaviors to help gather as much honeydew from these cicadas as possible. Some of the ants are collectors and spend about 80% of their time sitting below the cicadas to collect the honeydew as it comes out. Ants that spend their time collecting often focus on one cicada, returning to the same individual after each collection. There are also secondary gatherers that collect honeydew from the body parts of the primary collectors and receive honeydew via trophallaxis, or passing of regurgitated liquids to another insect. This allows the primary collectors to spend more time collecting directly from the cicadas. The secondary gatherers take the collected food back to the nest. A third worker might sometimes stand in front of the cicada and perform what the researchers called “antennating from ahead”. One or more ants will sit in front of the cicada or next to it and gently tap it with its antenna. At times this seems to encourage the cicadas to pass honeydew more frequently, but sometimes it didn't do anything, except possibly annoy the cicada. It's so interesting that these Giant ants of Borneo have adapted such specialized behaviors to collect excrement from another insect. It may seem like the ants may be controlling the aphids or cicadas and taking advantage of their production, which is not entirely false. Many ant colonies restrict the movement of their insects just like humans do with cattle, allowing them to go only where they want them to go, but its not always bad for the cattle. Aphids are not the most cleanly insects and they congregate in large groups, as any gardener listening to this episode will tell you. A group of aphids can suck a plant dry! Anyways, the ants retrieve the honeydew almost immediately once it is excreted. This is an advantage to the aphids, because it cuts down on fungus that can grow on the excrement and sicken the aphids. The ants are also protecting them from predators. Some ants remove Ladybugs, their larvae, and pupae from the plants that the aphids have chosen to feed upon. Ladybugs love a juicy aphid! Parasitic wasps that feed on aphids are also on the ants' radar. One of the questions that researchers have about this mutualistic relationship is whether it's obligate or facultative. Turns out it can be both. Facultative mutualism is a relationship where both parties benefit from each other's company but do not rely on each other. The previous discussion is an example of this. The Formica ants tending these aphids can walk away and find food elsewhere and the aphids can also go about their business without the ant ranchers. Obligate mutualism is when one or both parties is reliant on the other for survival. Some ants and aphids have evolved to rely on the other for survival. Some species of aphids and other insects have lost their ability to protect themselves without the help of ants. Some ants rely on the aphids and other sects to provide honeydew, they have lost the ability to go out and look for other food. Certain aphids live inside the ant colony and have lost the ability to grow wings and fly to find a mate. They just reproduce asexually throughout their entire lives and never the the ant colony at all. If these aphids left the ant nest, they would not survive. I guess we have proven that ants can be ranchers, as well as farmers. Thanks for joining me for this episode of ants as ranching is my eighth favorite thing about them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about ants.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

Summary: Did you read that title right? Yes, you did. Some ants make slaves of other ants! Join Kiersten to find out how.   For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes:  “Tales from the Ant World” by Edward O. Wilson “Adventures Among Ants” by Mark W. Moffett Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. In the last episode we talked about communication and how pheromones allow ants to give each other important messages and instructions. This is an amazing adaptation that makes them one if the most efficient organisms on the planet, but it does have a downside. Relying on pheromones as your main source of communication can lead to loop holes that others will take advantage of and by that I mean enslavement. Yep! Some ants enslave other ants. It's not exactly something I like, but it is incredibly interesting. So, the fourth thing I find interesting about ants is how they use and misuse pheromones to their greatest advantage. We discussed how ants know who is allowed to come in and out of a colony in the last episode. When ants emerge from their pupal stage their body oils absorb the unique smells of their colony. This gives them the key to re-enter their colony when they venture out, and it helps protect the colony from intruders, but it can also be used to enslave them.  Let's find out exactly how this works. The workers of ant species specialized to be slave-makers will raid colonies of other species. Workers from Polyergus lucidus or Formica subintegra will raid the colony of a vulnerable species such as Formica subsericea. When they raid the colony they have one target, the pupae. The adults of the colony being raided certainly put up a fight and ants on both sides of the battle will lose their lives but the raiders will retrieve at least some of the pupae they were after. That pupae is taken back to the raiders colony and settled in with the nursery there. Within a few days or weeks, the raided ants will emerge and soak up the scent of their new colony. They believe this is their home. It's where they are meant to be. They accept the raiders as their sisters and the raiders accept them as their own. So, the enslavement isn't like what we think of from the human perspective. It is a bit more like capture and domestication of wild animals. In the north temperate zones of North America, Europe, and Asia ant slavery is common especially in the subfamily Formicinae. Oddly, slavery is known in only temperate areas. Five species of Polyergus ants are known to be slave-makers and these ants range across North America, Europe, Russia, and Japan. All of them enslave ants in the genus Formica.   Let's follow a specific raid detailed by Mark W. Moffett in his book Adventures Among Ants. At Sagehen Creek Field Station in the Sierra Nevada of the United States, Moffett and his graduate student watched a raid between Polyergus breviceps, also known as Amazon ants, and Formica argentea. The Amazons were raiding the Formica colony. They watch as the Amazons forced their way inside the Formica colony and then head out the other side with the pupae of the Formica. They flipped a rock to find out what was going on inside and expected to see a war going on between the raiders and the Formica, but that is not what they saw at all. The only fight they saw was one Formica ant in a tug of war with a n Amazon over a pupa, but all the other Formica were just walking around, business as usual. These species of Formica only fight raiders by putting up blockades of dirt. Once the raiders destroy those blockades and enter the colony, the residents just give up and let the Amazons raid the nursery. Mark and his student followed the Amazons back to their own colony and were amazed at what they saw. The Amazons were greeted by adult Formica slaves that took the pupae that they'd just raided from them and scuttled off with the stolen pupae. Other adult Formica ants exited the Amazon colony and picked-up the raiding party and carried them back into the colony where they would be waited on hand and foot. The majority of the time, the Amazons never did anything for themselves they just laid around maybe grooming one of their sisters as the Formica slaves did everything in the colony. A quote from Moffett's book explains everything we need to know about the fate of the stolen Formica pupae, “Assimilated into the wrong society, the ants are duped into a life of servitude, doing all the drudge work their masters won't: building nests, foraging for prey, harvesting honeydew, slaying free-living Formica that enter their territory, and taking care of the brood. The Amazon slavers' only job is to go on raids, replenishing the store of Formica pupae as their enslaved workers age and die.” End quote. The other side of this raiding behavior is also quite interesting. The Amazon ants can't actually take care of themselves. The literally can't do anything but raid Formica nest to steal pupae. They cannot create nests, they cannot find food for themselves, the cannot take care of themselves. They must have slave ants to do it for them.  Moffett tells his readers about an instance when he dropped a piece of his turkey sandwich near an Amazon worker. She walked right by completely ignoring it, not knowing it was a tasty bit of food. It remained where it fell until a Formica slave ant came upon it and took it to the colony.  The Amazon raiders are so out numbered when they enter a Formica colony that, if the Formica actually fought back, the Amazons would lose, but these species have evolved in this unusual dance for years. The Amazons are now dependent on the Formica for survival. Maybe the Formica have accepted the raids as just another day in the colony. Polyergus aren't the only ants that make slaves. It seems to be spread through the ant kingdom. In Yosemite National Park, Edward Wilson came across a raid in progress. The raiders were Formica wheeleri and they had four different species of Formica spread throughout their colony with some of the enslaved ants participating in the raid on another nest.  You would think that slave-making would be a dead end evolutionarily speaking for the ants that adopt this behavior, but it doesn't seem to be causing any of them to go extinct yet. It can degenerate into social parasitism though. Strongylognathus testaceus has completely lost their raiding warrior spirit. The newly mated queen simply moves into a colony of another species and sets up shop right next to that colony's queen. The host colony workers take care of both queens. When the parasitic queen lays eggs the host workers take care of them as well. The adult parasitic ants just kind hang out with the other workers but don't do any work at all. Talk about the couch surfing friend that just won't leave! How did slave making evolve in ants? No one is sure of an answer, but the most accepted hypothesis is that the first slave-makers were competitive species that raided other colonies for whatever they needed and took the pupae as part of their booty and most likely ate them. Some of the pupa survived and became the first slaves. Evolution and survival took over from there. Nature can be so very interesting. Thank you for joining me for the fourth episode of ants. I know it was a choice to listen to this specific episode based on the title, but I am glad you did listener's, because my fourth favorite thing about ants is how the use of pheromones have evolved into something so surprising. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about ants.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

STANDAR SEMANAL.-BLUE MONK.-VINILOS MITICOS DEL JAZZ.-.John Coltrane - My Favorite Things (1961) .-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-JOSE PEREZ VARGASS.-ALIENACION-ACUSTICO My Favorite Things es un álbum de estudio delmúsico de jazz John Coltrane . Se lanzó en marzo de 1961 con Atlantic Records . Fue el primer álbum en el que Coltrane tocó el saxofón soprano . Una versión editada de la canción principal se convirtió en un sencillo exitoso que ganó popularidad en la radio en 1961. El disco se convirtió en un gran éxito comercial. En marzo de 1960, durante una gira por Europa, Miles Davis compró un saxofón soprano para Coltrane. Si bien el instrumento se había usado en los inicios del jazz (en particular, por Sidney Bechet ), en la década de 1950 se había vuelto poco común, con la excepción de Steve Lacy . Intrigado por sus capacidades, Coltrane comenzó a tocarlo en sus conciertos de verano. Tras dejar la banda de Davis, Coltrane, para sus primeras actuaciones regulares en la Jazz Gallery de Nueva York en el verano de 1960, formó la primera versión del John Coltrane Quartet. La formación se conformó en otoño con McCoy Tyner al piano, Steve Davis al bajo y Elvin Jones a la batería. Las sesiones de la semana anterior a Halloween en Atlantic Studios dieron como resultado el tema "Village Blues" para Coltrane Jazz y la totalidad de este álbum, junto con los temas que Atlantic posteriormente ensambló para Coltrane Plays the Blues (1962) y Coltrane's Sound (1964). Según la biografía de Lewis Porter , Coltrane describió " My Favorite Things " como "mi pieza favorita de todas las que he grabado". La canción principal es una versión modal de la canción de Rodgers y Hammerstein "My Favorite Things" de Sonrisas y Lágrimas . La melodía se escucha numerosas veces, pero en lugar de tocar solos sobre los cambios de acordes escritos , tanto Tyner como Coltrane interpretan solos extendidos sobre vamps de los dos acordes tónicos , Mi menor y Mi mayor (mientras que el original resuelve en Sol mayor ), [ 9 ] tocados en compás de vals . En el documental El mundo según John Coltrane , el narrador Ed Wheeler comenta el impacto que la popularidad de esta canción tuvo en la carrera de Coltrane: En 1960, Coltrane dejó a Miles [Davis] y formó su propio cuarteto para explorar más a fondo la interpretación modal, las direcciones más libres y la creciente influencia india. Transformaron "My Favorite Things", la alegre canción populista de 'Sonrisas y Lágrimas', en una hipnótica danza derviche oriental . La grabación fue un éxito y se convirtió en la canción más solicitada de Coltrane, además de ser un puente hacia una amplia aceptación del público. El álbum también es notable por el arreglo de Coltrane del estándar de George Gershwin " But Not for Me ", que muestra los cambios de técnica de Coltrane , como se escucha en " Giant Steps " y " Countdown ". El 3 de marzo de 1998, Rhino Records reeditó My Favorite Things como parte de su serie Atlantic 50th Anniversary Jazz Gallery. Se incluyeron como bonus tracks ambas caras del sencillo "My Favorite Things", publicado como Atlantic 5012 en 1961. Alienación" es un álbum doble del músico chileno-argentino José Pérez Vargas, lanzado en 2025, que presenta versiones acústicas y eléctricas de sus composiciones, explorando la desconexión social y emocional desde una perspectiva poética y musical, y que fue concebido como un desafío artístico para mostrar la multiplicidad del ser y la transformación de las obras. Detalles del álbum: Formato: Es un álbum doble con dos facetas de las mismas composiciones. Concepto: La idea es mostrar cómo las piezas musicales mutan al cambiar el contexto sonoro, la instrumentación y los climas, reflejando la multiplicidad de la identidad humana y la tensión entre diferentes versiones de uno mismo. Temas: El álbum es una reflexión profunda sobre la desconexión emocional, social y artística de nuestra época, convirtiendo circunstancias vitales y significativas en un paisaje musical. Estilo: A pesar de su enfoque en el jazz, que Pérez Vargas define como libertad, el disco también aborda la alienación desde un punto de vista poético y artístico. Contexto y producción: Músicos: El álbum cuenta con la colaboración de músicos locales como Carlos Michelini, Matías Formica, Lucio Balduini, entre otros. Proceso: Fue un proceso de composición largo, personal y desafiante para el artista, quien buscaba una conexión y diálogo con otros músicos y estéticas. Instrumentación: La versión eléctrica destaca el uso del bajo eléctrico, el instrumento principal de Pérez Vargas, mientras que la versión acústica permite una atmósfera más íntima y orgánica, adaptada al contrabajo. Información adicional: "Alienación" es el segundo álbum de José Pérez Vargas, quien se ha consolidado como un artista versátil y comprometido con la exploración musical. El álbum fue grabado por Mariano Miguez en el estudio Ideo, y se editó como parte de la discografía de la sello Microscopi.

1114. This week, we look at the history and purpose of indents, from medieval manuscripts to modern word processors, and the difference between a first-line indent and a hanging indent. Then, we look at the fascinating, multi-layered story behind the word "Formica," and its connection to both a plastic substitute for mica and the Latin word for "ant."The indent segment was written by Jim Norrena, MFA, who has been writing, editing, and leading grammar and proofreading workshops for more than thirty-five years. He founded  TypoSuction.com, an independent editorial service, and is a member of Bay Area Editors' Forum. He also serves on the board of Professional Publishers Network.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions:  What are the the most useful 3d prints for a woodworking shop.  I often print out small pattern templates and fixtures for hole placement.  Even storage solutions for various tools etc...  what are your top suggestions? Josh Hi, let's talk about working with laminated plywood.  I just picked up about 25 sheets of 3/4”x 22”x6'  birch plywood that has Formica laminated on both sides from the free pile of a high volume cabinet shop. I want to encourage everyone to find local cabinet or mill work shops  in your area and drive by them often! I do on my commute to and from work.  What kind of design/construction considerations would you make when building cabinets with drawers for my garage using only this 3/4” plywood? It will be for my garage.  I know it's common to make drawers using thinner plywood but I'm not trying to spend money if I have to.   how would you finish the edges? I'm going to make a blanket chest next, The laminate is a fancy textured walnut wood grain that actually looks pretty good. I currently don't have a shop but have some hand tools and hand power tools like a router,  circular saw with track, and a lot of imagination! With the help from your podcast I just recently purchased a biscuit jointer and a large (rather intimidating) 45 degree chamfer router bit. Haywood Guys Questions: Hi Guys, I've been listening to your podcast since the beginning and it's by far the best. There's not even a close second. My question is: I want to make shop sawn veneer. I have a band saw with 11” cut capacity, grizzly 8” jointer, a dewalt 735 thickness planner with a Byrd Shelix helical cutter head, but I don't have a drum sander. I would like to end up with 1/16”  cherry veneer that is 10” wide, but I'm not sure about the process to make it. Would the thickness planer be too aggressive to remove the bandsaw marks or would I need to purchase a drum sander?  Also, after cutting a piece of veneer from the stock, do I need to reflatten the stock before cutting another piece of veneer. In general, I guess what I'm asking is given the set of tools above, how would you go about making veneer? Mike I am building a trestle table out of African Mahogany, more specifically Khaya. I am using 8/4 for the top and 12/4 for the legs. It is going to live on a jalousy window sun room that is not climate controlled in the state of Florida. What finishes do you guys recommend to use to help preventwood movement or warping over time, or is that just going to happen. David Huy's Questions: Hello Gents, This is a bit of a long winded question regarding aftermarket sliders for the table saw and how to best use them. I recently purchased an old Excalibur sliding table from my saw.  This is an older model but from my understanding is almost identical to the current SawStop sliders, as SawStop took over the old Excalibur models (maybe this is incorrect or you have more insight?).  I mounted the slider to the extension table on the left so I get the full size of the TS top and the slider fence is long enough to reach all the way to the blade.  I figured that this way I get the best of both worlds, and I do have the space for it. My purpose for the slider was to help break down sheet goods, manage angled cuts on larger pieces, and to help cut miters on larger case panels.  I've made a few cases in the past with mitered corners and running a long case panel on the TS to cut the miters is a bit of a pain.  I was hoping that the slider would simplify that process as it would allow the long panel to move over the table smoothly while held square to the blade. Here is the kicker, the slider mounts on the left of the saw which is the direction that the blade tilts.  In my mind, this creates a problem as I have to run the panel up-side-down, under the tilted blade, and the offcut would now be dropping on top of the blade where it will create a kickback situation.  In general, I wouldn't run the piece "under" the blade when using a rip fence as it is trapped, but with the slider that's not really true.  Seems problematic for the offcut but gives more accuracy and control on an otherwise unwieldy piece and may be worth rolling the dice.  I figure that with the slider I have plenty of space to stand out of the firing line when that offcut goes flying, but it is probably smarter to avoid the situation in the first place....  What are your thoughts? How are others handling miters with a slider?  It seems most folks in North America have them mounted on the left, and most of the saws tilt to that side. Bojan Hey guys I've been listening to lots of episodes of the podcast lately and find it very helpful me being a beginner. This will be a long one but here is the situation, I'm not far from Indianapolis so a couple of you understand the weather. Earlier this year I cut down a couple of trees from a family property before it got demolished for development. Trees were run through a local saw mill and kiln dried for me. When I picked them up from the local guys I brought the stack back and put it in a barn on the family farm. The barn is generally shut up but it is not conditioned. I do all my wood working in my basement at home that is conditioned. I'm getting ready to buy a used 8” jointer to help me handle all these boards. I will not be carrying a large jointer into the basement to do the work it will be at the farm where the wood is stored. Question is, with an unconditioned barn do you think it will be a problem to joint a few boards there, bring them back to the basement Woodshop and let them acclimate for a few weeks before proceeding to plane/cut up for projects? Would it be better to joint just a couple at a time as I'm going to need them or would jointing most of the boards and storing them unconditioned during the year and moving them to the Woodshop as needed be ok? Thanks for the podcast and all the info you guys provide. I've learned multiple things from you guys already and hope to continue learning more. Drew

We dive into the powerful connection between mental health, nutrition and the body, exploring why IBS is often just a symptom rather than a root cause. We also discuss blood sugar balance, practical plate portion hacks and simple yet effective ways to support your overall well being through food. What if food wasn't something to restrict, control or stress over—but a tool for deep nourishment and healing? In this episode, we reframe the way you think about nutrition, shifting from rules and rigidity to seeing food as fuel, support and self-care. To move beyond fear-based eating and into a mindset of empowerment, where every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body and mind. We also explore the connection between what's on your plate and your nervous system. How does food impact your ability to regulate stress, feel calm, and support your mental well-being? From blood sugar balance to the vagus nerve's role in digestion and relaxation, we unpack how what you eat directly influences your body's ability to shift between fight-or-flight and deep rest: really as they say to be in rest and digest. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of eating “perfectly,” this conversation is for you. True health isn't about rigid rules—it's about sustainability, self-compassion, and making choices that feel good long-term. We approach wellness with love rather than pressure, this episode with Meg offers a fresh, uplifting take on nutrition. Tune in and discover how intentional shifts can transform the way you feel.

Send us a textThis episode is all about How We Did It, when we renovated 2 out of state units in Idaho, traveling to the units twice, for 4 days each.We are discussing the condition of the units (one was in bad shape and one not so bad) and the work performed by ourselves and those we hired.  As we did not have a team in Idaho, we also talked about how we quickly were able to put one together.For the first time, we painted kitchen cabinets, using Beyond Paint Products. So, listen to the process we followed and how they turned out. In addition to the kitchen cabinets, we or those we hired painted these units, installed new lighting, replaced old and dirty plugs and switches with decora style ones, replaced the old yucky carpet with LVP, and replaced Formica kitchen countertops with Quartz counters we purchased for a steal.Communication, organization, and time management were all key elements to pulling this renovation off and we are here to share how it all worked out!LINKS

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the sixty-first episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ James “Jim” Lee is the Brigade Executive Officer Observer-Coach-Trainer for the BDE Command & Control Task Force (BCT HQ) on behalf of the Commander of Operations Group. Today's guest is the Brigade S-3 Operations Officer for 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, MAJ Anthony “Tony” Formica. (MAJ Formica is a repeat offender of The Crucible, as he was on episode 13, titled “Field Grade Lessons Learned from Good Geronimo, 2-501st PIR.”)   Established during the fierce fighting in the Italian campaigns of World War II, 1st BDE / 82nd ABN was employed in multiple brush wars throughout the Cold War as well as in Operation Desert Storm and later as part of Operation Joint Guardian in Kosovo before deploying in support of the Global War on Terror. They have the Hollywood call-sign of “Devil” and the motto of “Strike and Hold.”   In this episode we discuss setting the conditions for the BDE and BNs to succeed during large scale combat operations through staff overmatch. Leaders at all echelons must understand the amount of control and influence leaders must exert to be effective, grasping what you can't control and not wasting resources in pursuit of it, understanding your area of operations and your sphere of influence within it, and lastly understanding the systems which drive all of these is critical. There's a common “eureka” moment at the JRTC, when leaders realize that time is your number one “enemy” or concern, not the opposing force. The goal for leaders at all echelons must be to ensure that you're not creating problems than you're solving for your subordinates as well as your higher headquarters.   Part of S02 “If I Would Have Only Known” series.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Window Repair: Broken windows can be a pain in the glass, but here's how to fix them safely.   Q & A: Painting Stucco: The paint on Terry's stucco exterior didn't last long. She gets tips on applying primer, the best temperature for paint projects, and using a paint sprayer. Mold Odors: Carolyn can't get rid of a moldy smell in her kitchen cabinet. We suggest where to look for hidden mold and how to seal the surface with a clear finish. Solar Panels: Should solar panels be installed on the roof or away from the house? Albert gets advice about the lifespan of the roof and seeking open areas for the solar panels. Countertops: Linda gets step-by-step details about a product to refinish old, dark Formica countertops.
