It's snow season in a lot of places right now – which means salt season. And salt season isn't great for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is contaminated water. So, Connie Fortin and Tim Olson have a new idea. They call it low salt design – a way of reducing the need for salt from the very start of the project. Fortin is a low salt strategist and Olson a water resources engineer, both for Bolton and Menk in Minnesota. In episode 185 of ASCE Plot Points, Fortin and Oloen discuss low salt design and why the solutions might be even simpler than you ever imagined. Learn more about low salt design, including a free download with suggested solutions. And dive deeper into the concepts in an article Fortin and Olson wrote for the ASCE Journal of Cold Regions Engineering.

Episode Notes My guests include Scott Fortin, President and CEO of the Mid-South Food Bank. This has been a pretty stressful time to be sure, with the government shutdown putting federal employees out of work and food programs like SNAP being effectively shut down. With thousands being affected and inventory low, he tells me how they will continue to operate in spite of great challenges. In times of uncertainty, people of the mid-south don't ask what the problem is, but how to solve it. Many people rely on area food pantries and recently at Advent Presbyterian Church, a rise in food insecurity brought on by SNAP benefits caused a traffic overload. Rich Lando coordinates the church's efforts and says it's another example of sharing God's love. Finally, Gloria Browne-Marshall is an Emmy Award winning author, law professor and playwright. She has written a new book dealing with the history of protest movements, called A Protest History of the United States. She joins me to talk about the 500 year journey of protests highlighting the individuals and moments that have shaped our country. That and more on air and online Monday, 6 pm on 91.7 WYXR.

Sometimes, I have a pretty good idea what guests on the podcast are going to talk about. But going in to this conversation with Carin Fortin, I wasn't sure what to expect - I knew very little about Carin and even less about her chosen herb, ashitaba (Angelica keiskei)! At first I thought this plant would be similar to angelica (Angelica archangelica) or even dong quai (Angelica sinensis). But no! Ashitaba is an amazing herb with its own unique gifts. It was fascinating to hear all that Carin had to say about this versatile, strengthening herb, and the connections she made among ashitaba, the different systems of the human body, and the workings of the earth. Carin also shared why it's so important to build personal relationships with plants, along with some intriguing perspectives from biodynamic farming.You'll love Carin's recipe for Ashitaba Honey with Rose, Burdock, and Light Root - a delicious example of how food can be our medicine! To download your beautifully illustrated recipe card for this herbal honey, check out the resource section below.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How ashitaba can be seen as a mirror of the human body, as well as the body of the earth► Seven medicinal benefits of ashitaba - and why Carin sees it as a knight in shining armor!► Why getting to know herbs is a lot like like getting to know people► Five tips for growing ashitaba► How biodynamics influences Carin's approach to farming and herbalism► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Carin Fortin—herb farmer, herbalist, and teacher— grew up in Switzerland and has been living in America for 25 years. She is a member of national and international Biodynamic Agriculture committees and is active in the Santa Cruz Anthroposophical Society branch. Together with her partner, Delmar McComb, she started and runs Blossom's Biodynamic Farm in Aromas, California, where she grows and value-adds medicinal herbs from all over the world. She distills hydrosols, and makes skincare products as well as other health products. Blossom's first line of California-grown remedy was a range of digestive bitters, picking up Carin's family's Swiss tradition.I can't wait to share our conversation with you today!----Get full show notes and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!The secret to using herbs successfully begins with knowing who YOU are.

'The king can do no wrong' remains one of the most fundamental yet misunderstood tenets of the common law tradition. Confusion over the phrase's historical origins and differing meanings has had serious consequences, making it easier for the state to escape liability for the harm caused to individuals by governmental officials or institutions. In The King Can Do No Wrong: Constitutional Fundamentals, Common Law History, and Crown Liability (Oxford University Press, 2024), the first dedicated monograph on the topic, Dr. Marie-France Fortin traces the historical evolution of 'the king can do no wrong' in constitutional and public law to shed new light on our current understanding of crown liability. The different meanings conveyed by the phrase in the common law world are clarified; the contradictions between them revealed. Adopting a historical constitutional approach, the book delves deep into traditional legal sources to develop an intellectual history of this key legal idea. It explains the mutation from 'the king can do no wrong' to 'the crown can do no wrong' at the end of the nineteenth century, analyzing the resulting departure from core tenets of the constitutional arrangement of the seventeenth century. The study of the evolution of 'the king can do no wrong' in English legal thinking, mirrored in Canada, is complemented by a comparative analysis of the idea in Australia, Ireland, and the United States, where its relationship with the concept of sovereign immunity is scrutinized. Retracing the evolution of the king can do no wrong in legal thinking, this book enhances academics', students', practitioners', and judges' understanding of the law of governmental liability in the common law world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Meet Isabelle Fortin, the Team LeaderSHIFT Consultant on a mission to eradicate disengagement and infighting in the workplace. A 10-year military veteran turned corporate innovator, Isabelle was inspired by the stark contrast between the life-and-death camaraderie of service and the often uninspired, rigid leadership models she found in civilian roles. In response, Isabelle developed the LeaderSHIFT Strategy—a behavioral and motivational approach that empowers leaders to adapt their style to the unique strengths, motivations, and creative potential of each team member. By focusing on human-centered leadership, she helps teams unleash higher productivity, engagement, and loyalty without stifling autonomy or creativity.
