IL MIO PRIMO LIBRO È DISPONIBILE ORA https://amzn.to/40fJhNe Che cosa sono i PLASMOIDI? Alcuni parlano di una nuova forma di vita aliena extraterrestre basata sul plasma. Dopo gli avvistamenti UFO/UAP del New Jersey, si è scatenata questa nuova teoria delle sfere di plasma, appunto i plasmoidi, e un nuovo studio parla di queste nuove entità aliene. In questo video, esploriamo il fenomeno affascinante e misterioso dei plasmoidi. Cosa sono realmente? Si tratta di semplici sfere di plasma, oppure di una manifestazione aliena legata agli avvistamenti UFO e UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena)? Approfondiamo le ipotesi scientifiche e le teorie più controverse, analizzando avvistamenti documentati, come quelli legati agli UFO nel New Jersey e ad altre segnalazioni di fenomeni aerei inspiegabili. Parleremo del significato dei plasmoidi, delle loro caratteristiche, e dei casi storici che li vedono protagonisti, tra cui i leggendari avvistamenti UFO sopra città e oceani. I plasmoidi possono davvero spiegare certi fenomeni extraterrestri? Oppure sono una chiave per comprendere eventi atmosferici poco noti? Con un approccio critico e basato sulle evidenze, affrontiamo il legame tra sfere di plasma, alieni e UAP, svelando ciò che la scienza (e la speculazione) hanno da dire su queste enigmatiche entità.

VYS0047 | The Weird Review Of The Year 2024 - Show Notes [Caution: This episode contains an extreme weariness for bullshit that some listeners may find triggering] 2024 was a tough year, weird but tough. And looking back over it doesn't make it any better. In what amounts to a rapid and inexorable descent into madness Hine and Buckley pick apart the weird and, frankly, fucking dystopian year that was 2024. Bouncing between jaded despair and hysterical mania the Vayse boys mull over the topics that dominated 2024: UFOs, Artificial Intelligence and Elon Fucking Musk. Whilst stumbling around in the intoxicating embrace of the seemingly endless darkness they also uncover strange stories of interconnected dreams, robot dogs with flame throwers, robot faces with living skin, bowls of goo with pong skills, plots to genetically engineer super-sheep, a surprising number of goblin attacks and perhaps, maybe, possibly a giant lake dwelling cow...?

For centuries, reports of strange lights moving through the skies have been reported around the world. Beginning in the late 1940s, popular reports of sightings involving mysterious aerial lights and other phenomena have formed the basis of the modern UFO phenomenon. But could some of these aerial apparitions have a natural explanation? This week, we examine a new science paper that argues many modern UAP sightings could represent manifestations of plasmas in space and in the atmosphere, which at times have been known to take on very odd, even life-like qualities. Could some of these curious electrical events be connected to the origins of alien life, or even life on Earth? We explore all these questions, as well as some of the latest happenings in the ongoing UAP controversy in America in this installment of The Micah Hanks Program. Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider sending us your sighting report, which may be of great importance to our scientific understanding of these phenomena.

Scientists from several U.S.-based universities suggest in a new, yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, that UFOs seen by astronauts in space, as well as in the skies by some World War II pilots, might actually have been plasmas. Also, UFO debunkers are claiming that UFO-hysteria has gripped the world, but in actuality, it's debunkers who are becoming hysterical and increasingly unhinged as we move closer to ending the long-standing truth embargo on the UFO phenomenon.

Strike outside the Happiest Place in Europe, as we are back for our second season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race Australia 2! Over these twelve weeks, three people who are sufficiently ploomphed - Logan, Michael & Michelle - are recapping a season that has an insane reputation amongst fans (which is completely justified), continuing with the seventh episode and first half of the double-length leg. In this episode - Michelle deals with Grace, we rank French laughs, Joseph forgets Grace, we learn things about Steve, the editors make Grace look shallow, we wonder if egg whites are liquid, Grant gets fact checked, James should have done the Roadblock, Paul is a braggart, we wonder if it's "perfectly fine" to steal a taxi, James & Sarah reveal a shocking piece of behind the scenes information, the painter becomes a national stereotype, there's an unaired Detour, the Paris portion of the leg gets timed, we wonder if it's understandable that everyone had trouble with cars, Logan worries his family, there's a theme to the back half of the season's locations, we wonder if this leg is the toughest in Amazing Race history, Shane & Andrew go a bit Grand Theft Auto, Michael struggles with muscle cars, everyone bends the rules, Production underestimates everyone, Logan explains why you need to be careful in Cuba and we look ahead to next week's slightly controversial episode. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Leg 8! Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free - however, as with our other historical recaps, this episode may contain references to episodes that we have already covered - namely from Seasons 3; 23-32; Australia 3; Canada 2-5 and Asia 5. It also includes a reference to an incident in Season 5. Additional note: Can we just talk about the choice to end the episode with Lucy & Emilia basically being damsels in distress?! This show...

For this episode I spoke to American writer Jo Ann Beard about her latest collection Festival Days and her previous collection The Boys of My Youth. We talked about fact, fiction, creative writing, journalism, how her experience of a workplace shooting in which people died changed her writing career, writing for the New Yorker, writing about death or proximity to death, how she feels about using people's stories, and how she constructs her work piece by piece, very, very slowly.I found out about Jo Ann's work from William Fiennes, who told me about an essay called The Fourth State of Matter, which is included in The Boys of My Youth and was published by the New Yorker. Here is a link to that essay:https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1996/06/24/the-fourth-state-of-matterYou can buy Festival Days here:https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/festival-days-jo-ann-beard/5000893?ean=9780316497220You can buy The Boys of My Youth here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Boys-My-Youth-Ann-Beard/dp/0316085251She recommended Mothers of Sparta by Dawn Davies:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mothers-Sparta-Memoir-Dawn-Davies/dp/125013370XThe other book she recommended was The Tender Land by Kathleen Finneran:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tender-Land-Family-Love-Story/dp/0618340742Finally, you can buy my books here:https://uk.bookshop.org/contributors/andrew-hankinsonThank you for listening.

Mike has returned from a fabulously successful Music & Sky event that left all attendees elated & inspired with a deepened realization that truth-seekers in Resonance can indeed create Heaven on Earth.

“It's a testament to [Jo Ann] Beard, a towering talent, that she ... deliver[s] a book as forceful as it is fine, leaving us both awed and unsettled.” -- New York Times review of Festival Days (RE-RELEASE) In this week's episode, Eve and Julie talk to Jo Ann Beard about Festival Days, her extraordinary new collection of essays, some of which took decades to write. Jo Ann describes her deeply reflective, painstaking process and shares why so many of the pieces in Festival Days involve life and death moments and the kinds of reminiscences that emerge from thoughts about death. She discusses, too, her most famous essay, “The Fourth State of Matter” and wonders aloud about herself, “Why are you talking about this essay that you never talk about?” Published in The New Yorker in 1996, “The Fourth State of Matter” depicts a mass shooting at the University of Iowa lab where Jo Ann worked. “How do you take something like that, which is essentially meaningless, and infuse it with meaning?” Jo Ann asks during this Book Dreams episode. And she offers an answer to that heartbreaking question. (This episode was originally released on 8/12/21.) Jo Ann has received a Whiting Foundation Award and nonfiction fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She's the author of the groundbreaking collection of autobiographical essays The Boys of My Youth and the novel In Zanesville. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Tin House, Best American Essays, and the O. Henry Prize anthologies. She teaches writing at Sarah Lawrence College.

On today's episode we have writer Jo Ann Beard. She is the author of the essay collection The Boys of My Youth, the novel In Zanesville, and her latest collection Festival Days was published in 2021 by Little Brown and Company. She has won several awards including the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005. Her essay “The Fourth State of Matter” on the University of Iowa shooting, was published in The New Yorker in 1996 and is taught in creative writing programs around the country. Beard's writing occupies a liminal space, as she melds together personal essay and fiction. While reading her work, after a certain point, you stop trying to figure out whether she's telling a true story or not, and simply surrender to the meditative prose. Beard takes you through the inner lives of several interesting characters—many of whom are herself—and her writing tugs at the rawest of human emotion, as she chronicles the ordinary and extraordinary, talking about death, taking care of animals, the art of writing itself, and country life, amongst many other subjects. We sat down earlier this month to talk through her creative processes, her unique approach to subjects often impossible to write about, and the abilities of writers to illuminate certain aspects of the human experience, unavailable to the outside world. This conversation changed the way I approached both fiction and essay writing, and even inspired me to put some words down on the page. Before we begin, Some background info for you: We discuss two of her essays in considerable detail. The first one called “Werner” is about a man named Werner Hoeflich who was caught in a burning building, and was able to jump and save his own life at the last minute. The other story titled “Cheri” is about a woman who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and decided to take her own life with assisted suicide. We also briefly speak about the writer Karl Ove Knausgaard, who is known for her set of six autobiographical novels, titled My Struggle. All the writers mentioned are in the show notes.

Writer and educator Amye Archer joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss her 2019 anthology, If I Don't Make It, I Love You: Survivors in the Aftermath of School Shootings, co-edited with Loren Kleinman. Archer explains how hearing the heartbreaking details of loss can prevent us from glossing over the staggering trauma of these events. Archer also reads from the anthology's section on the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, and questions why, as a nation, we haven't changed the Second Amendment in response to modern weapons.

Our guest this week is Emily Fletcher, the founder of Ziva Meditation, creator of The Ziva Technique, and the leading expert in meditation for high performance.About EmilyEmily is the author of the bestselling book Stress Less, Accomplish More which debuted at #7 out of all books on Amazon. Her recent accomplishments provide a stark contrast to the stressed out Broadway performer she was ten years ago. During her decade-long career on Broadway, which included roles in Chicago, The Producers & A Chorus Line, she began going gray at 27, suffering from insomnia, underperforming at work, getting sick 4 to 5 times a year, and believing this was all “normal.” Click here to get your copy of her bestselling book Stress Less, Accomplish More: https://amzn.to/3bDtjm1Thankfully, she found a powerful practice that cured her insomnia and improved her health on the very first day. Her physical and professional transformation was so dramatic that she felt inspired to share it with others.One year later, Emily left Broadway for Rishikesh, India to begin what would become 3 years of teacher training. She later founded Ziva in 2011, opened the NYC studio, and created the world’s first online meditation training.After years of teaching thousands of people, Emily realized that meditation was not enough to help her students perform at the top of their game. So in 2017, she developed The Ziva Technique, a powerful trifecta of mindfulness, meditation and manifesting designed to unlock your full potential.The New York Times, The Today Show, Vogue and ABC News have all featured her work, and she’s been named one of the top 100 women in wellness, has taught 20,000 students and has spoken on meditation for performance at Google, Apple, Harvard Business School and Barclays Bank. Ziva graduates include Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony award winners, as well as NBA players, CEOs, busy parents, and entrepreneurs.Join the Inspired Evolution Tribe:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/In this Episode We Canvas:Meditating to be Better at LifeEmily believes that we don’t meditate to be better at meditating but to be better at life, because so many people start meditating and end up quitting somewhere along the way because they feel like they can’t clear their mind enough to do it properly. She encourages people to focus more on the real benefits of meditation (like being kind, present, compassionate, creative, intuitive, and much more) which is what people really look at. “None of us are meditating because we want to be excellent meditators” - Emily FletcherEmily’s Meditation BackstoryShe started meditating 11 years ago and teaching 9 years ago, but before that she had no idea what meditation was. She had been performing on Broadway for 10 years and her work there gave her a lot of stress, anxiety, insomnia, and other health complications so she signed up for a 4-day course where the first thing she had to do was meditate. That meditation enabled her to sleep through the night for the first time in 18 months, and every night since. From the curiosity of wondering why everyone was not doing meditation, she decided to leave Broadway to go to India where she started a 3-year training process to teach. She’s excited to see that the world is waking up to the benefits of meditation.“I don’t have grey hair now, I was legitimately going grey at 27, I didn’t get sick for eight and a half years, and most importantly, I started enjoying my job again” - Emily FletcherThe Challenges People Have with StressShe explains how the human stress reaction is borne out of predatory attacks by describing the series of chemical reactions that take place when we are stressed, and how that keeps us from performing at the top of our game. Practicing meditation and other mindfulness techniques helps people in dealing with stress and Emily talks about how the meditation portion of Ziva helps a person in creating a trait change that is based more on getting rid of stress from the past because the accumulation of stresses is what makes us stupid, sick, and slows as a species.“If all your doing is dealing with your stress in the now, that’s a very western, like treat-the-symptom type of thinking” - Emily FletcherGetting to the Fourth State of ConsciousnessThe three states of consciousness that we’re all familiar with are waking, sleeping, and dreaming. Emily highlights the reason for insomnia as the fact that many of us use sleep as a time for stress release because sleep is the most effective form of rest that we have if we don’t have a meditation practice. Emily’s Ziva meditation enables one to access and cultivate a verifiable fourth state of consciousness which is different from waking, sleeping, or dreaming. It enables someone to give their body rest that is about five times deeper than sleep which then facilitates the body's healing even from stress.“When you insert those two restful periods into your day, your body uses that as a time for stress release, which allows your body to use sleep as a time for sleep” - Emily FletcherThe Legit Fountain of YouthEmily believes that society should focus less on chasing youth and more on chasing health. She explains how people equating health with youth is what leads them in the wrong direction, but with meditation (as studies have proven), one can reverse their body age by somewhere between 8 to 15 years. “We gotta chase the right thing, and in this case I think it should be health not youth” - Emily FletcherManifestationThis is all about consciously creating a life we love or getting intentional about what we want our lives to look like, which a lot of us aren’t doing. It all starts with asking ourselves the simple question, “What would I love right now?” Emily has found that the combination of meditation and manifesting is so much more powerful that either one alone. One can meditate all day, but if they're not clear about what it is they want, it’s very hard for nature to give them the thing, and vice versa.“The trick, if there is one, is imagining the dream as if it’s happening now” - Emily FletcherHow to Save the World in Two Simple StepsEmily advocates for two meditations per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The one in the morning deals with all our stress in the now and the afternoon one gets rid of the stress from the past, which is where we can get a return on our time investment. Emily did a Mindvalley talk about the importance of alleviating our stresses so we can usher ourselves into higher states of consciousness. She outlined the three biggest challenges to the human species, namely climate change, terrorism, and racism/separateness, and highlighted how they are all symptoms of deeper underlying imbalances that are created from a lack of consciousness. She talked about upleveling our state of consciousness (through meditation) as a solution to those intense problems.“We cannot consume our way to happiness” - Emily Fletcher See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Constellations, a New Space and Satellite Innovation Podcast
Satellite propulsion has been receiving much deserved attention. Not to be confused with chemical launch propulsion, satellite propulsion is primarily electrical propulsion that optimizes the satellite’s orbit once launched, maintains that orbit despite gravitational pulls and, finally, helps to assure a safe de-orbit. Electric propulsion uses an electric or a magnetic reaction or magnetic fields to heat or electrify a gas and turn that into a plasma, which, when forced out of the satellite, creates thrust. Beau Jarvis, CEO at Phase Four (plasma is the 4th state of matter) explains that while electric systems today typically use aerospace grade xenon because of its efficiency, it is also very expensive. With the anticipated growth in small satellites the cost of xenon will only increase. Phase Four, Jarvis explains, can use actually any neutral gas as fuel. The implication? Rather than transporting propulsion fuel from Earth, something as simple as water vapor, atmospheric nitrogen or methane, all available in space, could work as a propellant for Phase Four propulsion systems, thereby extending the satellite’s useful life.

On this week's episode of the MashReads Podcast, we're continuing our lovely streak of books that happened to have been turned into feature films. We discuss the brilliance of Andre Aciman and his stunning 2007 novel, Call Me By Your Name. The premise is simple: Elio, an intelligent 17 year-old, meets and falls for Oliver, the 24-year-old American graduate student staying with the family for six weeks in the summer. Elio and Oliver embark on a friendship and love story set in Italy of the 1980s. The two wrestle with their feelings, take about a million swims in a pool, and ultimately will have you feeling like a love-obsessed teen by proxy. But because this book is much more than it's detailed descriptions of bodily fluids, inspired by Elio and Oliver's love, we also discussed all our favorite love stories including everything from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien to The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. Martha recommends checking out Spotify's newest podcast "Microphone Check" about all things hip-hop music—and things that fall under the grander ethos of hip-hop. It formerly had a home within NPR Music but the new reiteration of the show can be listened to here. Proma Khosla, who joined us for this episode, recommends the film Thoroughbreds, which is as she describes it, a "great movie for staring." It features the late Alton Yelchin and, according to Proma, the acting—and the sound—is incredible and striking. Watch the trailer here. Peter read a book and thinks you should too. He recommends Alone by Christophe Chabouté, a graphic novel that is "kind of wonderful" about a lighthouse occupied by a deformed man and his imagination. "The art style is captivating and it's quiet itself," Peter says. You can check it out here. MJ recommends reading Jo Ann Beard's 1996 New Yorker essay "The Fourth State of Matter." It chronicles the 1991 shootings at The University of Iowa and the death of her co-workers. "What I love about this story is it zigs when you expect it to zag," MJ says. You can read the story, with both zags and the zigs, here.
Vedic Meditation… Rick Little, Organizational Consultant & Meditation Teacher, Co-Founder of The Spring, and former Vice President, Administration & Strategic Projects for Friends of the High Line, joins Julie Chan for a discussion Vedic Meditation, spirituality, and being complete. Recorded at the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.Discovering the practice, Vedic Meditation in the workplace, and spiritual vs. non-spiritual practice Little discusses how he was first introduced to the practice of Vedic Meditation by former boss Robert Hammond, a caution against participating in mediation without proper instruction, and the experience of having a boss speaking with employees about meditation and modalities. Meditation as a spiritual practice and as not being one, how it aligns with what employers want employees to be, and meditation was one way, not presented to staff as a spiritual practice, and why spiritual aspects are not what meditation teachers usually lead with.Origins, scanning for the most attractive things, and a fourth state How Vedic Meditation comes from The Vedas in India (which also produced yoga), which is 5-10,000 years old. How to live one’s life in alignment with nature, mantras, how the mind is scanning for things it finds attractive and moving towards it, following it down as the mantra becomes fainter, leaving the mind in a place where it isn’t thinking conscious thoughts. Transcendental Meditation vs. Vedic Meditation, and meditation as a fourth state if consciousness, or wakeful hypometobolic state, and meditation on the subway.Becoming complete, the right instruction, and The Spring How meditation is not something that can only happen under a specific set of circumstances, learning to meditate with someone close to you, and why meditating gets us in touch with the part of us that makes us see that we are complete. Instruction in meditation should be seen as important just like any other new skill in life, and why it is best learned on an individual basis. And, how Little is collaborating with several other mediation instructors to open a new New York City studio called The Spring.

FS 258: Positioning, Outcomes, and States of Market Awareness Panelists Philip Morgan, Jonathan Stark, and Reuven Lerner lead the discussion this week. They discuss Positioning, Outcomes, and States of Market Awareness. Tune in to learn more about these three topics! What does this mean? Jonathan explains the specifics of positioning outcomes by reading from an email he recently received. He talks about pitching to the wrong audience and using activities as key points instead of outcomes of the services offered. He uses the analogy of a website that sells drills and the headline. He points out that the headline on the website should not say, "So you need a drill?" Instead it should say, "So you need to hang a picture?" Sometimes buyers don't understand what outcomes a tool or service can provide and they are often looking for the outcomes. If they do not understand the tool, it's impossible for them to connect the availability of the tool to the outcome they are looking for. In some cases talking about the action or tool is valuable but in most cases, speaking in terms of how you are an input to a process helps sell. Technology specialists are bad at positioning the outcome. Many developers will sell themselves as developers with a particular language and results in commoditization. To sell yourself as an outlier, you have to talk about the business and outcomes of the work you do. Also, the life of specific technology can be short and selling yourself as an expert in a specific tech isn't as long lasting as selling yourself as someone who yields positive outcomes. Timing of the Technology can come into play. In some cases you'll want to describe yourself as a developer in a particular language or framework. If you notice a large demand for someone who is an expert developer for a language, then it would be appropriate to sell yourself as that person first and foremost. Many cases the employer isn't as concerned about the framework or language but is looking to have something done. Over time, emerging languages will create demand and over time will be in less demand. States of Market Awareness Knowing what your audience is thinking in terms of what they are looking for helps to position yourself correctly. The states of market awareness describes the different awareness types that you may be in regards to your understanding of what the audience is thinking and your audiences knowledge of your product. There are five states to market awareness. First State – “Most Aware” Describes the customer knowing of your product, knowing what it does, and knowing that they want it. For example, something like a telephone, broom, or an air conditioner falls under this category. Customers that are “most Aware” will spend time comparative shopping but mostly know what they are going to get. Many people will positions themselves as if the customer knows exactly what they need to solve their issue. Second State – “Customer knows of your product but does not yet know they want it." This describes awareness where marketing has successfully informed the client or customer what the product is but hasn't been told how well it does what it does. In some cases it's down to the conditions the customer is in. In those cases, something hasn't created a demand in their situation to want to approach this product. Third State - "Knows or recognizes immediately what the problem is, but doesn't know that there is a product that fixes it." Often a customer will have an issue, know it's an issue, and would want something to fix the issue, but doesn't know where to go to purchase that item or service. For example, a customer is running an ad campaign and knows that it is being run poorly, but the customer doesn't know whom to go to optimize it. Often this works out for the customer by either accidentally finding a solution or reaching out to find one. Finding someone who sells himself or herself as someone who solves that particular issue often creates an immediate connection. Sometimes with this state, the value of a diagnosis is as great if not greater than the service or product itself. Fourth State - "The prospect does not have a desire but has a need." This is when a person recognizes the need immediately and does not recognize the connection between the fulfillment of that need and your product. This is when a person does not know your product matches his needs. Fifth State - "Is not aware of his desire or need or will not admit to it." This category tends to be a red flag where the salesperson or marketing department spends most of his or her energy convincing the customer that they actually do want the product instead of the value of the product. The example of 'Pilling the dog' is brought up to illustrate the overall experience the customer or client has in this state of awareness. Often the salesperson or marketing will seemingly force their suggestion of need onto the customer and this generally leads to a bad experience. Marketing Successfully If you pitch to the wrong state of awareness your marketing will be ineffective. The customer won’t know or understand how to evaluate their problem. Software developers usually talk over customers’ heads. HR Departments can be the blame for it being difficult to know how to market to customers. Resumes are a form of marketing, which causes people to think of themselves in terms of feature lists. More opportunity exists in a middle state of awareness. A consumer knows the problem but they have not decided upon the solution already. Talk about yourself less in terms of outcomes in order to be the most successful. There needs to be a target market you know you are selling to first. It is difficult to understand how what you do is important unless you know whom you are selling to. A question to ask is, “how would their business be worse if they didn’t hire you?” Worth Worth is not objective: it is always within a context. In order to know your worth, you have to know your audience. Who are you selling your craft or product to? The value of something is different to people. The example of a car is used. Someone may ask, “how much is this car worth?” But the question that really is being asked is, “How much am I likely to get from a dealer for this?” The Gardener Hype Cycle When a technology is brand new, there is an increase in excitement and interest. While there is excitement, there is no demand. This is depicted by an image of a hockey stick pointing up and to the right. It eventually peaks because of the earlier hype. Then, early expectations are seen as being hyperbole. Eventually, there is a bounce back and excitement stabilizes as it becomes a mature technology and is viewed as more realistic. While it bounces back, excitement doesn’t ever reach the peak of the initial hype. Advice Some advice to freelancers is to know where you are in the states of awareness, know your market, and the clients you are selling to. You should be good at your craft. But you should be cautious and know that it does not take you far. Being good is only part of the package. In order to be successful, have to have more than skills. Need to be current with your craft (keep up with new tools), improve the client’s condition, and have an ability to create change for your clients.

Nowadays we seem to consume news not necessarily to be informed but to corroborate and strengthen our own prejudices. The reign of the Fourth State is under attack and not only from Donald Trump but -more insidiously- from fake news, the individualised bubble world of social media and the PR ethos that dominates much of what we read, see and hear from "official" news outlets. We live in the epigrammatic world of Twitter and personalised forms of truths. In a world ruled by information, we now have its dialectic opposite: misinformation.

In this episode of The Building Science Podcast, Kristof explores all the great mysteries of water (especially the water you don't see).The Commonly Known Stages of WaterPure water is tasteless, odorless, and colorless. Water can occur in three states: solid (ice), liquid, or gas (vapor).Solid water—ice is frozen water. When water freezes, its molecules move farther apart, making ice less dense than water. This means that ice will be lighter than the same volume of water, and so ice will float in water. Water freezes at 0° Celsius, 32° Fahrenheit.Liquid water is wet and fluid. This is the form of water with which we are most familiar. We use liquid water in many ways, including washing and drinking.Water as a gas—vapor is always present in the air around us. You cannot see it. When you boil water, the water changes from a liquid to a gas or water vapor. As some of the water vapor cools, we see it as a small cloud called steam. This cloud of steam is a miniversion of the clouds we see in the sky. At sea level, steam is formed at 100° Celsius, 212° Fahrenheit.The water vapor attaches to small bits of dust in the air.
