Send us a textGet ready for a mind-blowing deep dive into the science of spontaneous combustion! Scott and Chastity catch up on their busy schedules, with Scott fresh from teaching at the Fire Investigator Academy in Fresno where students bond over four intensive weeks of training. The hosts discuss recent marine fire investigation training and upcoming wildland classes before diving into the main event.The Doug Byron Interview: Spontaneous Combustion MasterclassThe real star of this episode is Dr. Doug Byron from Fast Labs, a renowned expert in spontaneous combustion who's been practicing forensic scientific testing for 30 years. His journey into fire forensics began unexpectedly after a car accident derailed his military aviation plans, leading him to answer phones at his father's ATF laboratory - and the rest is history.Doug definitively settles the mulch pile debate that plagues investigators: small playground mulch piles CANNOT spontaneously combust. The mass simply isn't there for heat retention. But here's the kicker - castor oil in hair products can absolutely cause spontaneous ignition in laundry baskets, something most investigators have never encountered.The episode reveals why Friday and Saturday night commercial fires often involve spontaneous combustion - workers rushing to leave for the weekend skip proper rag disposal protocols. Doug explains the fascinating science behind cooking oil fires in restaurants, particularly Mediterranean and Mexican establishments where heavy oils create perfect storm conditions.Pro Tips That Will Blow Your Mind:Your HVAC filter can be tested for byproducts of spontaneous combustion reactions - a forensic goldmine most investigators never considerDryer cool-down cycles exist for a reason - removing clothes early creates dangerous conditionsCotton rags can retain oils through multiple wash cycles, remaining reactive for weeksMicrofiber rags actually prevent spontaneous combustion because they melt before reaching critical temperaturesThe Flowchart RevolutionPerhaps the most exciting development discussed is the creation of a spontaneous combustion investigation flowchart, inspired by student Sawyer's brilliant suggestion. This practical tool will help investigators systematically evaluate scenes and communicate effectively with laboratories.Doug shares incredible case studies including hay bales (biological degradation), recycling super bags, and even latex gloves in warehouses. The science behind "clinkers" - those concrete-like masses found in burned materials - gets thoroughly explained, debunking old myths about their diagnostic value.The conversation explores the differences between chemical reactions (cooking oils, wood stains) and biological processes (hay, organic materials). Doug explains why spray paints can self-heat but rarely ignite, and shares a jaw-dropping case involving aluminum signs with linseed oil ink that reached over 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit before open flame.The episode concludes with information about upcoming training opportunities, including marine fire investigation in Boise and the Illinois Chapter seminar where Scott and Chastity will teach AI applications and defensive report writing strategies.This episode is essential listening for any fire investigator serious about understanding spontaneous combustion. Doug Byron's expertise, combined with practical case studies and actiThank you for listening!

There's nothing like the NBA and NHL Finals… unless you count professional pillow fighting.  In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate the end of the sports season with a rundown of the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals, and the rise of summer's strangest athletic events, including the Pillow Fighting Championship (yes, it's real).  But the heart of the episode is hope—the kind that doesn't come from scores or summer plans, but from Christ. They reflect on the Eucharist, the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, and the graces poured out at recent conferences at Franciscan and Notre Dame. From youth ministry to marriage milestones, they explore what it means to trust God with both our spiritual and everyday needs.  Naturally, they go off on tangents, from hotel bathrobes and awkward airline announcements to anniversary shoutouts and the idea of launching a Franciscan pillow-fighting team (tentative name: the Franciscan Feathers).    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Bathrobes, Notre Dame, and the $175 Upcharge  Deacon Bob checks in from the Morris Inn at the University of Notre Dame, complimentary robe included. He's there for Notre Dame Vision, a youth program inviting high schoolers into deeper faith. (03:30) Sports Wrap and the Rise of Pillow Fighting  From there, they pivot to sports: the Florida Panthers clinch the Stanley Cup, Oklahoma City Thunder top the Pacers in Game 7, and Canada's Stanley Cup drought continues. And just when you think sports can't get weirder—enter the Pillow Fighting Championship, now with corporate sponsorships and, apparently, rules.  (10:31) Augustine and Airport Public Shaming  Fr. Dave highlights a recent In Focus episode featuring Dr. Shane Owens, where they unpack the enduring relevance of St. Augustine's Confessions in a world increasingly shaped by AI and secular culture. The conversation quickly pivots, though, as Deacon Bob shares a less lofty moment: a painfully awkward moment from his flight to South Bend, where a bathroom break turned into a public shaming over the intercom.  (19:29) Hope as Grace: Conferences and Franciscan Honeymoon  Father Dave shares stories from the Power and Purpose Conference, themed around hope. He reflects on hope as a grace—not just good vibes or optimism—and mentions a couple who spent their 50th wedding anniversary and a couple on their honeymoon at the same event.  (23:01) Corpus Christi and the God Who Satisfies  Jesus didn't just meet spiritual needs. He fed the crowds too. Father Dave and Deacon Bob explore how our trust in God is often strong in the abstract, but wavers in daily stresses. They tie it back to Corpus Christi, Romans 5, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.  (28:34) Sacred Hearts, Summer Kickoffs, and Marriage Milestones  Deacon Bob celebrates 28 years of marriage on the same day as the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He also gives a shoutout to the kickoff of Franciscan's high school youth conferences and the ongoing Priests, Deacons, and Seminarians Retreat.  (31:10) Praying for Peace in a Complicated World  The hosts close with a prayer for peace amid global tensions, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine. They close with a reflection on Pope Leo's Angelus invitation to prayer and remind listeners that lasting peace only comes from the Heart of Christ.    Resources & Mentions  ·                     Power and Purpose Conference – A weekend of renewal, prayer, and worship through Steubenville Conferences.   ·                     Notre Dame Vision – A summer youth program helping teens hear God's call.  ·                     Romans 15:13 and Romans 5:5 – Scriptures that anchor this episode's theme of hope  ·                     Pope Leo XIV: Son of St. Augustine– Watch the latest In Focus episode with guest Dr. Shane Owens on Faith & Reason.   ·                     Pillow Fighting Championship– Yes, it's real. Yes, it has rules. Yes, you're going to Google it.

Der Pianist, der die Musik verliert – und wiederfindet: Stefan Rusconis Welt verstummt, als sein Bandkollege stirbt. Der Zürcher Jazzmusiker hört auf zu spielen, zieht sich zurück. In der Stille begegnet er Neuem: der Faszination von Pilzen und dem Bogenschiessen – und sich selbst. Stets gefeiert als einer der aufregendsten Jazzpianisten der Schweiz, kehrte Stefan Rusconi der Bühne den Rücken. Dem Tod des Freundes folgte eine tiefe Depression – er konnte keine Musik mehr hören oder spielen. In einer Lebensphase, in der er als Musiker und junger Vater eigentlich hätte aufblühen sollen, nahm er Abschied von Zielen, Tourneen und Applaus: «Nichts ging mehr. Meine Tochter hatte einen Pianisten zum Vater, den sie noch nie spielen gesehen hatte», sagt Rusconi rückblickend. Sieben Jahre lang bleibt seine Welt still – bis ihn ein Filmprojekt unerwartet zurück an das Piano führt – und er zurück zur Musik findet. «Ich habe wieder eine Zukunft – es fühlt sich so gut an.» In «Focus» spricht Stefan Rusconi mit Kathrin Hönegger über die Kunst, neu zu beginnen und den Mut, nicht aufzugeben. Triggerwarnung: Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über Depression, Tod und Folgen von sexualisier Gewalt.

ในช่วงหลายปีที่ผ่านมาแนวคิด ‘การดูแลแบบประคับประคอง' (palliative care) สำหรับผู้ป่วยระยะสุดท้ายได้รับความสำคัญมากขึ้นในสังคมไทย และเริ่มขยายวงกว้างทั้งในระดับบุคลากรทางการแพทย์ ครอบครัว และชุมชน การดูแลรูปแบบนี้ไม่ได้มุ่งหวังการรักษาให้หายขาด แต่เน้นไปที่การสร้างคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีที่สุดในช่วงท้ายของชีวิต . อย่างไรก็ดี นอกจากการดูแลแบบประคับประคองในมนุษย์ ยังมีอีกหนึ่งองค์ความรู้ที่เริ่มถูกให้ความสำคัญ นั่นคือ ‘การดูแลแบบประคับประคองในสัตว์' ซึ่งหมายถึงการดูแลสัตว์เลี้ยงในวาระสุดท้ายของชีวิตอย่างเข้าใจ ไม่เพียงเพื่อลดความเจ็บปวดและไม่สบายทางกาย แต่ยังรวมถึงการดูแลสภาพจิตใจของสัตว์ อีกทั้งยังเป็นการเตรียมความพร้อมให้กับเจ้าของสัตว์เพื่อเผชิญหน้ากับการสูญเสียอย่างอ่อนโยน . 101 In Focus สัปดาห์นี้ ชวนสำรวจแนวคิด ‘การดูแลแบบประคับประคองในสัตว์' ซึ่งยังเป็นองค์ความรู้ที่ยังอยู่ในระยะตั้งไข่ในสังคมไทย เพื่อเข้าใจว่าการดูแลสัตว์เลี้ยงในวาระสุดท้ายของชีวิตนั้นคืออะไร มีขั้นตอนและกระบวนการอย่างไร และจะช่วยให้สัตว์เลี้ยง ‘ตายดี' อย่างสงบได้อย่างไร .

Send us a textIn this episode, hosts Scott Kuhlman and Chasity Owens deliver another compelling installment from the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI) training conference. Recording remotely while Scott teaches at the Fire Investigator Academy in Fresno, the duo presents an illuminating conversation with Rick and Cassandra Jones, two passionate advocates for fire investigation certification and training excellence.Rick Jones shares his journey from law enforcement canine handler to IAAI board member and eventual president during the challenging COVID-19 period, where he helped pivot the organization to remote training delivery. His wife Cassandra, with her educational background in English, brings her expertise in report writing and program development to their shared mission of elevating industry standards. Together, they've built a successful fire investigation company while dedicating countless volunteer hours to improving certification programs and training quality across the field.The conversation centers on the critical importance of obtaining professional certifications, particularly the Evidence Collection Technician (ECT) program. The Joneses announce significant updates to certification requirements, including the elimination of mandatory evidence collection numbers in favor of training-based qualifications and the addition of five new evidence categories specifically designed for private-side investigators. These changes address long-standing concerns from investigators who participate in evidence collection but may not physically handle items themselves, making certifications more accessible while maintaining rigorous standards.Rick and Cassandra emphasize that certifications serve as third-party validation of an investigator's competency, going beyond the minimum requirements of NFPA 1033 to include practical demonstrations and courtroom testimony experience. They detail the upcoming alignment of all IAAI certifications to five-year renewal cycles, streamlining the process for investigators while ensuring continued professional development. The couple's commitment extends to personally answering questions from members, with Rick providing his direct phone number and encouraging investigators at all levels to reach out for guidance.The episode also highlights the Joneses' innovative internship program, where university students pursuing fire investigation degrees spend 5-7 weeks living and working with their company, gaining invaluable real-world experience. These stories, including humorous accounts of interns learning the realities of hands-and-knees scene processing, demonstrate their dedication to nurturing the next generation of fire investigators.Scott and Chasity wrap up with their popular segments, including "We Train Frequently" spotlighting upcoming conferences in Arizona and Georgia, and "Can You Use It In A Sentence" continuing their educational series on fire investigation terminology. The hosts also address listener questions about accessing Science Advisory Work Group meetings, explaining the confidential nature of these peer review sessions while encouraging participation in local chapters.This episode reinforces the podcast's mission of connecting the fire investigation community through shared knowledge and professional development opportunities, showcasing how industry leaders like Rick and Cassandra Jones are working tirelessly to advance the field through improved training and certificaThank you for listening!
