In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully random life of Adam Schorger—a man who's lived in Saudi Arabia, studied gunsmithing, wrestled with journalism, befriended GIS, and still manages to fit in gym time and screenless hobbies. Basically, he's a one-man Swiss Army knife of the geospatial world. The hosts, powered by caffeine and TopoDOT hype, guide us through tales of failing forward, mentoring like a boss, and building GIS empires from scratch at Orbital Engineering—because who doesn't want a side of cartography with their asset management? Adam also debunks the myth that GIS folks just “make maps” (spoiler alert: they're digital twin wizards now), and drops advice for newbies who might be torn between making maps or, say, making firearms. (Just another Tuesday in Adam's origin story.) Throw in some gnarly punk energy from H2O, the ever-epic Geodnet satellite miner tally, a questionable raster vs. vector pop quiz, and the usual host banter that walks the fine line between insightful and delightfully unhinged—and you've got another can't-miss episode. Fail forward, ride the wave, be disruptive—and if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Also, don't forget to check if you can put a satellite miner on your house!!!

You've heard the term: Take a chill pill! Or take a chill pill and call me in the morning! What does that even mean?! Well, to put it simply, it means to relax! There are, in fact, pills that we can take to relax, but that's not always the most healthy or beneficial. There are other solutions to help us manage our stress because It is inevitable. We all have stressful situations, relationships, and circumstances. It isn't really something that we can get away from. How do you cope with stress? Some of us lash out. Some of us buffer or use other sources like food, work, and spending money to avoid the stress.  Some of us shut down, sleep Some of us bottle it up, shove it away,  Some of us stay busy,  All of us do something, and we all hold that stress differently in our bodies.  Maybe you feel tension in your shoulders, maybe you feel an upset stomach, maybe you have a headache.  All of these can be linked to the way you're coping with your stress. Is there a way that you cope with your stress that you know is helpful? There are many techniques like breathing, movement, journaling, exercise, and taking pills. Have you ever thought of using water as your chill pill? Yes, water. Water can be a tool to help cope with your stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, and regulate your nervous system to get to a more relaxed state, so we can handle our stress.   In this episode, we are going to talk about using water as a way to help manage stress using H2O. Hydrate: Drink water! Our bodies are made up of 63% water! 2 Activities: Swim, run your hands in it, wipe it on your face, so many options! Observe: Listen and watch water!  Listen in to hear more! It really is the Chill Pill you need!

Corrosion control is fundamental to the success of any water treatment program, but how often do we question the limitations of the tools we rely on? In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes back returning guest Mike Standish, Vice President of Water Additives at MFG Chemical, to explore the evolving role of maleic acid-based corrosion inhibitors in industrial water treatment. Drawing on decades of expertise, Mike shares practical insights into when — and when not — to use these innovative solutions to meet today's complex challenges. Understanding the Corrosion Control Toolbox  Mike Standish opens the conversation by reframing corrosion control strategies through the lens of a toolbox analogy. With limited primary approaches — from phosphate-based to organic and metal-based chemistries — the success of corrosion management depends on matching the right tool to the right application. Mike stresses the importance of avoiding overcomplication and focusing on the fundamental chemical pathways for mild steel protection. Organic vs. Inorganic Approaches  The discussion turns to the critical differences between organic and inorganic inhibitors. While inorganic phosphates remain cost-effective mainstays, organic phosphonates, including maleic acid-derived materials, offer advantages in high pH, high hardness, and oxidizing environments. Mike emphasizes that “organic” in water treatment bears no relation to natural or sustainable products, a frequent misconception among newcomers to the industry. Why Maleic Acid-Based Inhibitors Matter  Maleic acid phosphonates distinguish themselves with exceptional oxidant stability, a feature increasingly necessary as continuous halogenation becomes standard practice. Mike explains the chemistry behind maleic acid derivatives and how the ability to tailor molecular structures creates flexibility for specific field conditions — such as scaling tendencies, pH control, and calcium carbonate formation risks. Best Practices for Application and Measurement  Field success with maleic acid-based inhibitors hinges on proper dosage and testing. Mike shares lessons from real-world trials, emphasizing that underfeeding is a common mistake that compromises corrosion rates. Accurate differentiation between orthophosphate and phosphonate concentrations is vital for precise monitoring, and bench testing must closely simulate real-world surface-to-volume ratios to yield reliable predictions. The Future of Corrosion Control  In a forward-looking discussion, Mike predicts that industry consolidation will trigger a second wave of entrepreneurial water treatment companies. His vision underscores the ongoing need for technical excellence, adaptability, and innovation in corrosion management practices as the industry evolves.  This episode challenges water treatment professionals to rethink their corrosion strategies with a sharper, more informed approach. Maleic acid-based inhibitors are not a universal solution, but when applied thoughtfully, they offer powerful advantages for specific operational demands.   Explore more episodes, challenge your assumptions, and lead the way in advancing our industry's standards of technical excellence.

L'hydrogène vert serait magique pour la transition énergétique, 60 pays ont déjà investi dans des gigaprojets pour décarboner leurs transports et leur industrie. Mais est-ce vraiment une bonne idée ? L'hydrogène, miracle ou mirage ? L'hydrogène est l'élément chimique le plus abondant sur terre. Par exemple, connaissez-vous la formule chimique de l'eau ? C'est… H2O ! Car combiner 2 atomes d'hydrogène à un atome d'oxygène et vous obtiendrez… une molécule d'eau !Il y a quelques années, ce gaz était présenté comme magique pour la transition énergétique de l'économie. Notamment pour décarboner les secteurs des transports et de l'industrie. Résultat : il n'y a pas un continent qui n'a pas de projets d'exploitation d'hydrogène.

L'hydrogène vert serait magique pour la transition énergétique, 60 pays ont déjà investi dans des gigaprojets pour décarboner leurs transports et leur industrie. Mais est-ce vraiment une bonne idée ? L'hydrogène, miracle ou mirage ? L'hydrogène est l'élément chimique le plus abondant sur terre. Par exemple, connaissez-vous la formule chimique de l'eau ? C'est… H2O ! Car combiner 2 atomes d'hydrogène à un atome d'oxygène et vous obtiendrez… une molécule d'eau !Il y a quelques années, ce gaz était présenté comme magique pour la transition énergétique de l'économie. Notamment pour décarboner les secteurs des transports et de l'industrie. Résultat : il n'y a pas un continent qui n'a pas de projets d'exploitation d'hydrogène.

I asked Google, “What are thoughts made of?”Google said, “According to current scientific understanding, thoughts are essentially made up of electrical signals generated by the firing of neurons in the brain, which communicate with each other through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters; essentially, a thought is a complex pattern of neural activity within the brain, triggered by sensory input, memories, and other factors.”Google's answer to my question is true, but it isn't useful. My goal is to place a thought into the mind of another person. I want to change what they are thinking and feeling.In 2003 I proposed a theory that has come to be known as “The 12 Languages of the Mind.” It explains how thoughts are constructed from pre-thought particles.Stay with me. This is about to get interesting.A neuron is a nerve cell, the basic unit of the nervous system. It is responsible for sending and receiving electrical signals. A synapse is the tiny gap between two neurons. This is where information is transferred from one neuron to another through the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Essentially, a neuron is the cell itself, and a synapse is the connection point between two neurons where communication occurs.Sounds a little bit like a computer, doesn't it?A computer is of little value without an operating system.The 12 Languages of the Mind are the operating system of the brain.Let's look at it another way.We know that all the matter in the universe is made from just 3 primaries: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These form atoms, the smallest units of matter.Atoms of elements combine to create molecules of compounds; two atoms of hydrogen plus one atom of oxygen create a single molecule of water, H2O.There are 118 different kinds of atoms organized in The Periodic Table of the Elements. We can create new substances because we now understand the constituent components that underlie all the matter in the universe.Just as protons, neutrons, and electrons can be arranged to form matter, The 12 Languages of the Mind can be arranged to communicate thoughts and trigger the emotions, opinions, and reactions that follow those thoughts.Symbols are one of The 12 languages of the Mind. Motion is another.Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water.Symbol + Motion = Ritual.Our material universe is created from just 3 primaries.Likewise, all the colors we see are created from just 3 primaries, red, yellow, and blue in subtractive color, red, yellow, and blue in subtractive color. But red, green, and blue in additive color. It depends on whether your eye is absorbing the light waves, which is additive, or whether you are seeing reflected light from a substance that has absorbed part of the light spectrum. That is called subtractive color.Created from 12 primaries, how much bigger is the universe of your mind?Your body contains about a 100 million sensory receptors that allow you to see, feel, taste, hear, and smell physical reality. But your brain contains about 10,000 billion synapses. This means you are approximately 100,000 times better equipped to experience a world that does not exist, than a world that does. It is these

The quote is, “The lines are painted wrong.” Who said that and what did this person mean?  That was my Dad. He used to tell us that as kids. You see, my Dad took pride in his driving abilities, and when he would not park the straightest in a parking space, we kids would take great delight in pointing it out to him. His reply was always, “The lines are painted wrong.” Oddly enough, we LOVED this answer! We would argue back, “No they aren't! You parked crooked!” He would just shake his head, smile, and calmly insist, “The lines are painted wrong.” In my career as an industrial water treatment professional, this quote has always stuck with me. There are most certainly times when the lines are painted wrong. The control ranges may be wrong, too tight, or too broad. The lines are painted wrong. The expectations from a client or manager may be unrealistic. The lines are painted wrong. The finger often gets pointed at the water treatment professional first when things go wrong with water-related equipment, even when it's not our fault. The lines are painted wrong. While it would not have been appropriate for my Dad to repaint the lines in a parking lot, it can be appropriate for us to repaint the lines at times in industrial water treatment. Control ranges can be appropriately adjusted. Expectations can be diplomatically realigned. Blame can be diffused or redirected with listening, discussion, facts, and patience. Sometimes, it takes a little thinking outside the box to realize when the lines are painted wrong. I have my Dad to thank for helping me see this at such a young age, and I can't wait to tell him that now tens of thousands of people have just learned from him, too.   Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

Angela talks to Carrie B, a practitioner in clinical nutrition and circadian biology, as they explore the intricate connections between water, light, and health. Carrie shares her personal journey into the realms of circadian and quantum biology, highlighting the transformative impact of understanding how our bodies interact with light and structured water. They also journey into the significance of water's unique properties, including its structured forms and the importance of remineralisation, as well as the profound effects of light exposure on cellular health and energy production. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding how our bodies interact with light, nature, and water is crucial for maintaining health. Never underestimate the importance of circadian rhythms and how they can be influenced by environmental factors. The water in our bodies is not just H2O; it exists in a structured form known as exclusion zone water, which has unique properties that support cellular health. This structured water is negatively charged and essential for optimal cellular function. Exposure to natural light, particularly infrared light, is vital for recharging the structured water in our cells. This light helps maintain cellular energy and vitality, which is especially important during the winter months when natural light is limited. The way we treat water—through thoughts, words, and intentions—can affect its structure and, consequently, our health. Practices like expressing gratitude and prayer can enhance the quality of the water we consume BEST MOMENTS "I knew deep down that I was missing a very large piece of the puzzle when it came to what we need to support our health." "The water inside of our cells is highly, highly structured to the extent that it forms almost like a gel-like consistency." "If water is a responsive antenna, I want to make sure that if this water has been traversing through my reverse osmosis system, that I'll remineralise it." "In the winter, melatonin acts similarly to vitamin D in the body. They run the same programs."

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study on the impact of renal and liver function on clinical outcomes following tricuspid valve transcatheter H2O repair in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation. While the study found no significant differences in organ function between repair and control groups at 12 months, successful repairs showed small but favorable improvements in kidney and liver function, suggesting potential long-term benefits in reducing heart failure hospitalizations and mortality.

Can water become an investable asset? How is decentralized water treatment reshaping the way industries and communities manage their most vital resource? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Riggs Eckelberry, CEO of Water on Demand, to explore the groundbreaking technology and financial innovation behind this transformative company. Riggs shares how Water on Demand is revolutionizing the water industry by decentralizing treatment systems. Instead of relying on overburdened municipal systems, industries can now treat and recycle water on-site, reducing costs, achieving regulatory independence, and advancing sustainability efforts. At the heart of this innovation are modular, prefabricated systems that can be operational in just one day, representing a shift toward adaptable, climate-resilient infrastructure. We also dive into the financial technology underpinning Water on Demand. Riggs explains how businesses can adopt water treatment systems without upfront capital investment, thanks to a pay-per-gallon model that removes financial barriers. For investors, this model opens opportunities for equity and generational royalties, with future plans to tokenize water assets ($H2O), creating a more liquid and tradable market. Beyond technology and finance, we discuss the social impact of decentralized water solutions. By alleviating industrial demands on municipal systems, residential users benefit from improved access and lower water rates, with significant implications for low-income communities. Riggs highlights how scaling industrial water recycling to just 15% could effectively double the world's freshwater supply, offering a path toward social equity and climate resilience. How can technology and finance transform water into a sustainable, investable resource? What role will decentralized systems play in addressing the challenges of climate change? Tune in to this insightful conversation with Riggs Eckelberry and join the discussion by sharing your thoughts!

By highlighting cost savings, clients can see how efficient water treatment impacts their bottom line. Sustainability isn't just a trendy term—it's about implementing practical practices that protect our planet for current and future generations. By adopting sustainable strategies, we can conserve resources, cut costs, and create lasting benefits for both the environment and our client's businesses. In our latest episode of the Scaling UP! H2O Podcast, we had the privilege of speaking with James Courtney, CWT, LEED AP of CSC Technologies an advocate for water sustainability, who shared actionable insights on how water professionals can effectively embrace sustainability while adding value to their clients. Meet James Courtney: A Champion for Sustainability In our enlightening conversation, James shared his journey in the water industry and emphasized the vital role that water professionals play in promoting sustainability. He stated, "We help our customers by saving them money on water, electricity, and fuel." This highlights how our work not only benefits the environment but also leads to significant financial savings for our clients. Sustainability: More Than Just a Buzzword Sustainability means optimizing our resources. As James noted, "We operate in this space where we are directly responsible for the sustainability of our customers.” Water treaters have a unique opportunity to minimize their clients' carbon footprints while improving efficiency. Whether it's running boilers without scale, optimizing cooling towers, or maximizing cycles of conductivity, every action contributes to a greener future. James also cautioned against greenwashing, reminding us that not all practices labeled as "green" deliver real benefits. We must be vigilant and ensure that our sustainability efforts  Educating and Empowering Clients Understanding water and energy usage is essential for effective water management. James encourages water professionals to educate their clients about their consumption patterns. “Clients often don't realize that overusing chemicals or wasting water is a problem,” he explained. By illustrating the cost savings—like reducing their electricity bills or fuel costs—clients can connect the dots between efficient water treatment and their bottom line. Harnessing Data One of James's most compelling stories was about using smart meters to identify inefficiencies. He shared, “Meters give you information; information gives you the opportunity to find solutions to problems you didn't even know you had.” In one instance, a client's building was using half a million gallons of water due to a blocked condensate receiver. The installation of a meter enabled the team to identify the issue and prevent unnecessary water loss, ultimately leading to significant cost savings for the client. James's team also tackled a fascinating case with two identical LEED Platinum buildings. Even though they were built exactly the same, one consumed significantly more power. By analyzing minute-by-minute energy data, they pinpointed the problem, leading to solutions that not only enhanced efficiency but also inspired other buildings in the community to adopt similar practices. The Impact of Visibility James highlighted an intriguing study involving a housing development where identical homes were built. In half of these homes, energy meters were placed indoors, allowing residents to see their energy usage, while the other half had meters located outdoors. The results were striking: “The houses with visible indoor meters used less energy simply because people could see it,” James explained. Residents began to turn energy monitoring into a game, challenging themselves to reduce their consumption. This simple shift towards visibility in daily energy use not only heightened awareness among residents but also nurtured a culture of energy-saving habits. As James aptly put it, “What gets measured gets managed.” Engaging clients in enjoyable and measurable ways can significantly drive sustainability efforts. Final Thoughts James's insights remind us of the significant role water professionals play in fostering a sustainable future. By leveraging data and educating our clients, we can create meaningful change that benefits both our communities and the environment. Together, let's continue to explore the importance of sustainability practices that protect our generation and the ones to come. Thank you for being part of the Scaling UP! H2O community. Together, let's continue to educate ourselves and each other on the importance of sustainability practices that benefit both our generation and those to come.

There are a few trains of thought on control ranges. Which tests and readings really need a control range applied to them? How wide or narrow should the control range be? It's something one should consider carefully. I have seen control ranges applied to every test parameter for a makeup, such as city water, that the user had absolutely no control over. Are these control ranges really necessary? Sometimes, they are, especially if the makeup source is susceptible to changes in water quality, such as total hardness, which can impact downstream softener performance. I've also seen control ranges so large a bus could slide through them sideways. What good is such a wide control range doing for the water system? Nothing was actually being controlled. I've seen control ranges that were so unreasonably narrow that the parameters were almost ALWAYS out of range as well. What good does that serve? Is a better control system needed to meet these narrow ranges or is a wider control range more fitting instead? A lot of you out there use field service report programs that turn red, green, and sometimes yellow when a parameter is outside the control range. Not having good and proper control ranges can make that field service report's color coding nearly useless because it is always too red or even too green and not actually reflecting the true stressed or controlled state of the system. Control ranges that are too tight may yield field service reports that are red all the time, which will lead to either the end user ignoring the colors or being annoyed by the report always looking red. Control ranges that are too broad may not show the true state of stress the system is under and lead to more problems down the road. Lastly, I've even seen reps be pressured by their customers to avoid red color coding as much as possible, leading to either uselessly wide control ranges or no control ranges at all. This can be a touchy subject, but your control ranges must be meaningful and useful. It may take some finesse to get everyone on the same side of the table on this but seeing a little red when appropriate TODAY beats dealing with the impact of a failed water system and wasted energy and water TOMORROW.

Naturopaths Explain Hydration for Health Think hydration is just about chugging water? Think again! In this week's episode, Nic and Steve break down hydration without putting you to sleep. They chat about how water gets into your body (spoiler: it's more complicated than you think), why too little or too much sodium can turn you into a zombie, and how dehydration messes with your workout mojo. They even dive into topics like hydrogen and structured water—because plain old H2O is soooo last season. Oh, and don't worry, we promise this episode isn't dry (Steve joke)!   The Truth About Salt - https://youtu.be/LdaiMD2m4Gs References can be found in the YouTube description here - https://youtu.be/_XpIHiYi7YI As always, this information is not designed to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any condition and is for information purposes only - please discuss any information in this podcast with your healthcare professional before making any changes to your current lifestyle.   Check out ATP Science's range of products at our online store - https://bit.ly/3WlwFnr  

Today, we're diving into a topic that's as vital as the air we breathe but often overlooked: the water we drink. And not just any water—coherent water. You might be thinking, "Water is just water, right?" But what if I told you that the quality of the water you consume could drastically change not only your health but also the quality of your life? Imagine this: 98.6% of the molecules in your body are water. That means water isn't just something you drink; it's essentially who you are. But here's the kicker: the state of that water matters. It's not just about being H2O—it's about how that water is structured, how it's energized, and how it interacts with every cell in your body. When we change the state of the water we consume, we change our entire biology, boosting our energy, enhancing brain function, balancing our gut microbiome, and even reversing the signs of aging. That's where our guest today comes in. Meet Mario Brainovic, the CEO of Analemma, a revolutionary company that's transforming the way we think about water. Mario is on a mission to change the world one sip at a time by upgrading your everyday tap or bottled water into something truly remarkable: coherent water. This isn't your average filtered or purified water. Coherent water is structured and charged to mirror the natural, harmonious state found in untouched nature. So, what exactly is coherent water? Think of it like this: regular water is chaotic and disorganized at the molecular level. It's like listening to a symphony where all the instruments are out of tune—it's still music, but it's not pleasant, and it's certainly not optimal. Coherent water, on the other hand, is like that same symphony but perfectly in sync, every note harmonizing beautifully. And when you drink that symphony, every cell in your body starts to perform at its best. The technology behind Analemma isn't just about filtering out impurities—it's about transforming the water's molecular structure, restoring it to a state that can significantly enhance our health. Clinical studies have shown that drinking this water can increase your cellular energy by boosting ATP production—essentially the battery that powers your body. Imagine having 20% more energy simply by changing the water you drink! It's like giving your cells a power-up, making them work more efficiently so you can feel more vibrant, focused, and alive. But it doesn't stop there. Analemma water has been shown to improve brain function, enhance gut health, and even slow down the aging process. In one study, participants who drank coherent water daily for three months showed up to 12 years of biological age regeneration. That's right—just by drinking better water, you could potentially turn back the clock on your cellular age. And if you're still skeptical, (I get it I was too!) consider the groundbreaking work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, whose studies revealed that water can change its structure based on the energy and intention it's exposed to. Water exposed to positive thoughts and words formed beautiful, symmetrical crystals, while water exposed to negativity became disordered and chaotic.
