In this episode, we hit the road—literally—with Tim Hawthorne and the Auburn University Geo Explorer crew, the masterminds behind America's first solar-powered, science-on-wheels geoscience lab. We cruised through the big ideas that sparked its creation (spoiler: one was so wild it nearly made the RV blush), how pioneering status shaped every bolt and blueprint, and the logistical magic of fitting cutting-edge tech into a space smaller than some people's closets. We geeked out on the coolest hands-on moments—think drone flights, augmented reality, and rock-solid geology demos—that had students' eyes lighting up brighter than the RV's solar panels. We shared heart-warming stories from Title I and underserved schools where the Geo Explorer's visit was more than a field trip—it was a spark for future scientists. From hydrogeology to GIS, and from navigating tricky school-day parking logistics to dreaming about future VR tours and global expeditions, the team proved that science isn't just about data—it's about people, passion, and creating “aha” moments. By the end, one thing was clear: when the wheels stop rolling, the curiosity keeps going—and that's the real mission accomplished. Music by Johnny Cash!

« Comment avoir une vie de couple hétérosexuelle quand je pense aux vidéos ? Comment supporter que des gens puissent ne pas penser tout le temps, nuit et jour, à ce qu'a traversé Gisèle Pelicot ?

Most seniors start their CPP and OAS when they retire or at age 65, without evaluating the options. But many would benefit from delaying CPP until age 70. Here's how to figure out what's best for you. CPP and OAS offer cool opportunities to increase after-tax income, because seniors often have flexibility in choosing taxable vs. non-taxable income, and OAS comes with several “clawbacks” beyond regular tax. To spot these opportunities, you need to think creatively about pensions, tax, and investments.  After 65, the biggest factors in deciding whether to delay CPP are whether you'll need to withdraw more from your investments, and whether you're a growth investor, as this decision looks very different for growth-focused portfolios. In my latest podcast episode you'll learn: Why should you ignore “CPP breakeven” calculations? Why are life expectancy stats understated? What is the best way to estimate your life expectancy? What happens if you are still working? How does your tax bracket each year affect your CPP & OAS & GIS? How can you qualify for the maximum GIS? How does your CPP & OAS fit into your overall retirement income? Who should take CPP & OAS early and contribute it to RRSP? How do CPP & OAS affect the estate you leave for your kids? Who should delay their CPP to age 65? Real life examples.

In the episode, we chat with Dr Pradeep Kumar Jain, who was the Chief Mineral Economist for the Ministry of Mines, Government of India, and has recently retired. With over 42 years of experience in mineral economics, geology, and mining legislation, he has been deeply involved in shaping India's mineral policy, pricing mechanisms, and strategic resource planning. He talks about critical factors for successful mine planning, adoption of new technology, India as a mining jurisdiction, and how they are developing their mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Since 2015, India's mineral concession grants have shifted from a first-come, first-served basis to an auction model, enhancing transparency, increasing state revenue, and expediting the process of granting mining rights. India is rich in a variety of minerals, including major, minor, critical, and strategic minerals. Key states like Goa, Jharkhand, and Odisha are known for specific minerals, contributing to a robust mining landscape. The integration of advanced technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, and drone surveys is transforming mining operations in India, improving decision-making, efficiency, and regulatory transparency. The establishment of the District Mineral Foundation aims to ensure that mining activities contribute positively to local communities and the environment, promoting sustainable and inclusive development. BEST MOMENTS "After 2015, the grant of the concession in an auction mode... it is becoming a transparent procedure for grant of the mineral concession."  "We have about 25 minerals available... all type of the mineral right from the bulk mineral to precious mineral."  "This auction model has made drastic changes... it is making a healthy competition but little bit there is some drawback also."  "India is a very good platform for international trade, as well as inviting the international experts to come and venture into the mining sector in India."

The biggest threat to grid modernization? It might be hiding in your GIS. Utilities are racing toward smarter, more dynamic grid systems—layering on DERs, EVs, ADMS, and DERMS. But there's a hidden bottleneck holding everything back: the massive disconnect between field data and back-office systems. In this episode of Power Perspectives, Adrian McNulty, Vice President of Utility Solutions at IQGeo, joins to dig into why real-time, mobile-first GIS systems are the unsung heroes of the modern grid. Adrian draws from more than two decades of experience in utility software to explain why outdated systems and poor field connectivity are dragging down the potential of advanced grid technologies—and how forward-thinking utilities are fixing it. Tune in to learn why traditional GIS platforms are falling short in the DER era, what it means to truly unify the field and the office around a single source of truth, and how utilities can streamline tools into one spatial solution.

At the core of running an efficient, resilient power system, there's one singular need: interoperability. Do you have one place where everyone, across teams and structures, can go to get the real-time information they need when they need it? Without that, utility leaders are setting themselves up for failure to meet the rising expectations from consumers. But the good news? Maps make interoperability like second nature. And this week on The GISt, we have a step-by-step how-to for utilities that want to strengthen their collaboration. In the last of three top-notch episodes of The GISt with our partners at Esri, we're joined again by Director of Electric Utility Solutions Bill Meehan & Director of Electric Industry Solutions Pat Hohl. And these two? They're breaking down some of the coolest ways utilities are sharing information in real time—as it's happening—to avoid redundancy, become more effective across teams, and nail the three Cs of power: collaboration, coordination, and communication. This episode is brought to you by Esri. Esri is the global market leader in GIS software, location intelligence, and mapping. With Esri software you can add the power of location to modernize how you work.

Join us in this powerful episode as we dive into the heart of river biodiversity and conservation in South India with Sandeep Menon of the Wildlife Association of South India (WASI). Discover the story of the critically endangered humpback mahseer (Tor remadevii), a keystone and iconic fish species endemic to the Cauvery River and protected within the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary. This episode highlights the urgent need for fish conservation, biodiversity management, and sustainable engagement with river ecology in the face of rising threats to freshwater ecosystems.Founded in 1972—the same year India enacted its Wildlife Protection Act—WASI is one of Karnataka's oldest conservation organizations. While much of India's conservation history has centered on charismatic megafauna like tigers and elephants, WASI pioneered efforts to protect aquatic life, emphasizing the overlooked yet vital role of river systems. The humpback mahseer, often growing over five feet in length and weighing up to 50 kg, is not only ecologically important but holds deep cultural and mythological significance in Karnataka, with temple sanctuaries along the Cauvery River historically offering it protection.Sandeep explores how the health of the Cauvery River ecosystem is intrinsically tied to the survival of the mahseer. These fish require clean, oxygen-rich, fast-flowing waters for spawning and survival, making them a natural indicator of freshwater integrity. As dams fragment habitats and pollution disrupts flow regimes, the mahseer's survival becomes a symbol of broader freshwater conservation challenges.In this conversation, Sandeep outlines WASI's innovative three-pronged conservation strategy. The first is rigorous scientific research—including telemetry tracking, habitat mapping using drones and GIS, and an in-situ breeding program for the endangered humpback mahseer. Second, WASI physically protects stretches of the Cauvery by leasing river sections from the Fisheries Department—not for fishing, but for conservation. These stretches are patrolled to prevent poaching, dynamite fishing, and other destructive practices. Third, WASI has established a unique self-sustaining model: issuing catch-and-release angling licenses. Revenue from this ethical angling supports research, anti-poaching patrols, and community outreach, making conservation both participatory and economically viable.Importantly, this episode also touches on how catch-and-release practices are regulated with strict guidelines to minimize stress and injury to fish. From handling protocols to photographic limits and de-hooking tools, WASI's best practices ensure that angling becomes a force for conservation rather than exploitation.Listeners will also learn about the threats facing the humpback mahseer, such as declining water levels, hybridization with other mahseer species, habitat degradation, and the introduction of invasive species like grass carp. The episode details WASI's efforts to create India's first comprehensive management plans for aquatic sanctuaries—filling a critical gap in freshwater biodiversity conservation.Sandeep also emphasizes the critical role of public awareness and local engagement. From school and college volunteers conducting telemetry fieldwork to social media campaigns and community outreach with fishing communities, WASI's approach is deeply collaborative. Listeners passionate about wild Karnataka and namma Karnataka's rivers will find practical ways to get involved—whether through volunteering, spreading awareness, or supporting evidence-based river conservation.This conversation reminds us that beneath the surface of India's rivers lies an invisible world teeming with life, and that biodiversity conservation must include all species, from the tiger to the tiniest fish. Protecting the humpback mahseer is not just about saving one species; it's about restoring entire ecosystems, cultural heritage, and sustainable coexistence with nature.Watch now to understand why river biodiversity matters, and how one organization is making a big impact in the waters of South India.

Watch Out For This Chinese Stock Scam! Yes, there's another scam out there trying to part you from your hard-earned money. This has happened many times in recent years and it's occurred in very small Chinese stocks that are vulnerable to manipulation. For some reason some US investors see these and think they've hit it big. US regulators try their best, but typically cannot get access to information in China to go after these people. They're so good they trick people who should know better like businesspeople and even a university professor lost $80,000 in the scam. Their advertisements show up on social media or in messages on WhatsApp and they contain investment advice that looks very convincing with the alure of big, quick returns. They trick investors into thinking that this company is on the verge of something very big and they show that there are already short-term gains, which are engineered by the scammers through manipulative trading. The hucksters come from Malaysia, Taiwan and other places around the world. Some have been so bold that for some investors who lost money, they come back with a second better offer to make up losses on the first investment. Obviously, these people have no shame and the only thing I can recommend is to stay away from small Chinese stocks, especially if you see them advertised on social media. Remember the old saying if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.   Is The Current 401K System Out of Date? The current 401(k) system was first established 42 years ago in 1978 when the use of normal pension plans was in place and when people still worked for a single employer for most of their career. This change in 1978 was beneficial to both the employees and employers, because it gave employees control over their retirement plan and reduced the long-term financial risk for many companies with underfunded pension plans that caused multiple problems form companies during the 2008 financial crisis. Today, times have changed and employees might experience over their 40 years plus work career different jobs that may include side gigs, the launch of a business or two and potentially a change in their job that could take place as much as 12 times over their career. The benefit for employees of the 401(k) is it gives people the ability to control their retirement. If they do leave an employer, they can take their retirement with them and invest it as they see best. The problem of today with changing jobs so many times is unfortunately these employees decide to take and use the money, even though the penalties and taxes due are sometimes as high as 50%. In my opinion, there is not one good reason why you should be taking your retirement money early as you'll pay for it many times over if you reach retirement with little or no retirement funds. Believe me, it is hard being older, but it is devastating to be older with no retirement funds. It has been estimated that frequent job changes over a career can cost as much as $300,000 in retirement savings. I like the new system that has made auto enrollment the default for employees starting a new job, but there is talk that they also want to require when a worker leaves an employer that their 401(k) automatically follows them to the new job and it should contain the same contribution rates as well. I think this is a terrible idea as it could get employees that are changing jobs locked into a terrible new 401(k). It could perhaps be additional administrative work for the new employer who already has enough to take care of when you include all the regulations, they have along with health insurance and current retirement plan administration. Being an employer myself one would not believe how much employers have to do already.    The Unknown Risk of the S&P 500 Many people love investing in the S&P 500 because the recent performance has been very strong. We have talked in the past about the over concentration of technology in the index, but I was shocked to learn that 71% or roughly 351 companies in the index report either non-GAAP income or non-GAAP earnings-per-share. This is dangerous for investors because you're not comparing apples to apples and 89% of those 351 companies that made adjustments had results that appeared better. Wall Street has forced companies to continue to report higher and higher earnings each year and sometimes each quarter or else the stock gets pulverized. Non GAAP numbers were supposed to be allowed to explain extenuating or extraordinary circumstances like a factory fire or a sale of a division, but companies have abused the rule and exclude items like stock based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and currency fluctuations. The one that bugs me the most is restructuring charges that occur every year. For example, Oracle has had a restructuring charge for the past five years. Unfortunately, the SEC is absent on enforcing the rules and non-GAAP earnings have just about become the standard. The problem for investors is with no standard, you cannot compare true earnings of a company. If you have been investing as long as I have, you'll remember the last time the abuse of non-GAAP earnings was during the tech boom and bust. Some people say we are too conservative with our investing and we are missing out on some big gains, but I do believe fundamental investing and understanding the true numbers of a company is far safer and it should produce better returns in the long run.     Financial Planning: What is the Net Investment Income Tax? The Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) is a 3.8% federal surtax that began in 2013 under the Affordable Care Act, targeting high-income individuals. It applies to any net investment income that exceeds a single taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of $200,000 or $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. Crucially, these thresholds are not indexed for inflation, so while they may have seemed high in 2013, today they would equal roughly $270,000 and $337,500 in 2025 had they been indexed for inflation, meaning more taxpayers are caught by the tax over time. Net investment income includes interest, dividends, capital gains, rental income, passive business income, and the earnings portion of non-qualified annuity distributions. While non-investment income sources such as wages, IRA withdrawals or conversions, and active business profits aren't directly subject to NIIT, realizing large amounts of those sources can push your MAGI above the threshold, thereby exposing your investment income to this additional tax.  Also keep in mind, most investment income is still taxed as ordinary income as well. Only long-term capital gains and qualified dividends receive the lower capital gain tax treatment, but all investment income may trigger the NIIT if income exceeds the thresholds.   Companies Discussed: Fiserv, Inc.

When you see relationships and patterns, you don't just take a peek at opportunities—you get a preview of risks…and a chance to get out in front of changes that need to be made. That's the power of GIS as a tool for discovery. Why? Because looking at your reality in a spatial context opens up a new world of discoverability—and that can quite literally take utilities from “I hope so” to “now I know what to do.” Creating that tapestry of high-value information can change everything for power pros. In the second of three top-notch episodes of The GISt with our partners at Esri, we're joined again by Director of Electric Utility Solutions Bill Meehan & Director of Electric Industry Solutions Pat Hohl.

Nous avons tous découvert en 2024 l'affaire Pélicot avec effroi.  Dominique Pélicot drogue sa femme Gisèle Pélicot des années durant pour la violer et la faire violer à son insu. Il s'agit d'un procès historique qui marque notre société et qui questionne profondément sur les violences intra-familiales.  Mais au delà des atrocités subies par Gisèle Pélicot qui a eu le courage de lever le huis clos pour que la honte change de camp, il y a aussi l'histoire d'une famille. Dans cet épisode, je reçois Caroline Darian. Certes, Caroline est la fille de Gisèle Pélicot et de son géniteur Dominique Pélicot mais elle est surtout et avant tout une femme puissante. Juste après avoir appris les atrocités des crimes commis par son père sur sa mère, Caroline découvre, photos à l'appui retrouvées par la police, qu'elle a elle même été droguée, prise en photo à son insu à des fins probables d'agression sexuelles pourtant jamais avouées par Dominique Pélicot.  Lorsque toute une vie par en fumée, il ne reste que des cendres.  Alors, comment se reconstruit t-on sur des cendres ? Caroline, en dépit du traumatisme, du deuil et de la douleur immense, choisi l'action et le combat.  Celui contre la soumission chimique qu'elle met en lumière dans ses deux livres (JC Lattes) : "Et j'ai cessé de t'appeler papa" paru en 2022 et "Pour que l'on se souvienne" paru en mars 2025. Le combat également contre les violences intra-familiales et notamment contre l'inceste, l'un des derniers tabous de notre société. Et puis, ce qui la sauve de ses propres mots c'est la famille que Caroline a construit, sa propre famille, au sens large aussi puisqu'au gré des rencontres elle a créé sa famille choisie. Caroline est puissante autant qu'elle est sensible. Par sa présence d'abord. Par son regard droit planté dans le votre. Par son émotion, spontannée, belle, vraie. Par sa détermination à rester, malgré la violence de qu'elle a subi, une femme, une mère, une soeur, une fille engagée qui fait bouger les lignes. J'ai interviewé beaucoup de femmes sur ce podcast, toutes aux parcours différents. Et je dois dire que Caroline m'a particulièrement touché. Il faut lire ses livres, il faut écouter ses épisodes et ses prises de paroles plus généralement.  Merci à ma chère Véronique Cardi, éditrice des éditions JC Lattes d'avoir rendu cet épisode possible  NOTES DE L'ÉPISODE: Le podcast vous plaît ?

What do you get when you mix a surgeon, a scientist, and a self-proclaimed “tinkerer” who also happens to struggle with reflux? You get Dr. James Daniero—and you get this conversation about RefluxRaft. In this episode, Theresa Richard chats with Dr. Daniero, an ENT who's not just treating voice, airway, and swallowing disorders—he's innovating them. From basement experiments to biomaterials backed by NIH grants, Dr. Daniero walks us through how his personal journey with reflux turned into RefluxRaft, a barrier-based solution designed to help patients (and clinicians) think beyond PPIs.
