Next up on this action-packed season of Shred With Shifty, country superstar Keith Urban joins Chris Shiflett to walk through some of his most iconic solos and unpack some fine details behind his successful music career. Strapped with the '51 Fender “Nocaster” that he used to record the solo on “Tumbleweed,” Urban walks Shifty through some of his guitar secrets, like how he came to own Waylon Jennings' iconic, leatherbound 1950 Fender Broadcaster (hats off to his wife, Nicole Kidman, for that one). Urban tells avid surfer Shiflett why he never got into surfing while growing up in Australia, and remembers his earliest influences in the country's music scene. Low-gain players like Mark Knopfler, Ray Flacke, and Lindsay Buckingham helped shape Urban's lead-guitar tastes, imprints you can hear in the capoed, drop-D solo on “Stupid Boy.” (Urban says his new solo record, High, features more of these theatrics.) Amid the fretboard analysis, Urban talks about his “love-hate relationship” with his Fractal amp-modeling unit, which he still leaves at home when he plays live—a 100-watt Marshall Super Lead and PRS J-MOD 100 still reign supreme for Urban's concerts. Tune in to learn how Urban's unique pick grip gave his solos some extra percussive edge, how he keeps his chops up, and which artist he'd want to “gunsling” for.

New asset classes like junk bonds and subprime mortgages initially promised high returns without too much risk. Many investors were surprised to find that the risk premium was insufficient to provide for actual losses when they came. Modelers need to adjust for incomplete investment cycles that include only the positive part (e.g., high spreads) but not the defaults and liquidity crises typical at the end of a cycle. By Max Rudolph

In this episode, Paul Barnhurst is joined by Derek Baker, who is drawn to really hard problems. Derek discovered early in his career that he loves startups and building companies.He began his career working for SaaS startups, building out their core FP&A processes.

Building the FP&A function for a marketplace has been the biggest challenge of his career, and he is loving every minute of it.

You can do all the study you want, but at the end of the day, it's like anything, without practice, it's just theory. ” “ The better you know an industry, the better you know the operations of the business, the easier it is to build a model.” “ [ What separates good FP &A from great FP & A] I think it's 1- business acumen and 2- business partnering. Anyone can build a model in Excel and can learn those technical skills. But using those technical skills to help the business and partner with the business to help them understand the business better and grow the business is exactly what FP&A should be doing....” Sign up for the Advanced Financial Modeler Accreditation or FMI Fundamentals Today and receive 15% off by using the special show code ‘Podcast'.

I'm not sure why, but whenever I see a video or read an article about “real” amps, by which the author invariably means an amplifier powered by tubes, or an article about digital modellers, that the underlying theme is one of either or. Each author will tend to have a preference one way or the other, and it comes across sometimes clearly and sometimes subtly in their presentation. That's ok, but for me, it's always been either / and because I have spent the hard earned cash on both deliverables and that's what I'm going to cover this episode

In today's podcast, Josh Anderson (TopBuild) and Scott Doyle (RESNET) help us understand the purpose, scope and functions of the RESNET HERS modeler designation.   In 2020, the RESNET Board of Directors voted for the creation of a new RESNET HERS Rater modeling designation with a goal of increasing the consistency in the input in HERS Ratings through the training and certification of persons who conduct the modeling and analysis using accredited HERS Software Tools.   Upon certification, HERS Modeler candidates are issued a unique RESNET Modeler ID which can be used for single or multiple HERS Software Tools.  In many ways this certification is like the current Rating Field Inspector certification for field inspection and testing including candidates being posted on the RESNET Registry.   Josh discusses how this is a natural evolution of the industry, especially as businesses scale. He also notes this helps to create an alternate career path within the RESNET ecosystem as it embodies a different skillset and an alternate work environment (office vs. field) for a more diverse workforce.    Scott gives us an overview of the formal training required and notes that continuing education will be required to maintain the certification. The continuing education will be offered by the accredited HERS Rating Software Program developers.    Scott notes that certified RESNET HERS Raters, having taken inputs and plan reviews as part of RESNET HERS Rater Training, will automatically receive the new certification without any additional fees, yet would still have to meet the continuing education requirements.   More info on this topic, as well as an infographic are available at this link: www.resnet.us/raters/resnet-hers-modeler-certification/   RESTalk: To the RESNET community, we hear you and want to engage.

Hello Model Railroaders and welcome to the Second Section Podcast!  This podcast is a couple of regular guys talking about model railroading.  In this show we have a special treat where we are joined by 4 members of the “Section Crew” for another episode of Broken Rail! William Sampson, Alan Schroeder, Tom Klimoski and Tom Johnson will join Andy and Mike as they deep dive model railroad operations.  Our guests model railroads:William Sampson: https://www.youtube.com/c/SootheMilwaukeeRoadThomas Klimoski: https://www.youtube.com/user/ThomasKlimoskiAlan Schroeder: https://www.facebook.com/groups/123156795191579Tom Johnson: 

One of my long-time gripes about the climate-economic models that outfits like the IPCC produce is that they ignore politics. More broadly, they ignore social change and the way it can both drive and be driven by technology and climate impacts. This isn’t difficult to explain — unlike technology costs, biophysical feedbacks, and other easily quantifiable variables, the dynamics of social change seem fuzzy and qualitative, too soft and poorly understood to include in a quantitative model. Consequently, those dynamics have been treated as “exogenous” to models. Modelers simply determine those values, feed in a set level of policy change, and the models react. Parameters internal to the model can not affect policy and be affected by it in turn; models do not capture socio-physical and socio-economic feedback loops.But we know those feedback loops exist. We know that falling costs of technology can shift public sentiment which can lead to policy which can further reduce the costs of technology. All kinds of loops like that exist, among and between climate, technology, and human social variables. Leaving them out entirely can produce misleading results. At long last, a new research paper has tackled this problem head-on. Fran Moore, an assistant professor at UC Davis working at the intersection of climate science and economics, took a stab at it in a recent Nature paper, “Determinants of emissions pathways in the coupled climate–social system.” Moore, along with several co-authors, attempted to construct a climate model that includes social feedback loops, to help determine what kinds of social conditions produce policy change and how policy change helps change social conditions.I am fascinated by this effort and by the larger questions of how to integrate social-science dynamics into climate analysis, so I was eager to talk to Moore about how she constructed her model, what kinds of data she drew on, and how she views the dangers and opportunities of quantifying social variables.

Imagine for a second if you could have treatment which fits you better than a tailored suit. In some cases, biostatistics tools and custom medicines like gene therapy open new doors for patients. After today's pod, you'll know all the practical and impractical uses of precision medicine for patients.So what is precision medicine? Aren't doctors already supposed to customize treatments for each given patient's situation? The short answer is yes but the longer answer leaves a key gap I want to talk about. What the majority of doctors follow is evidence-based medicine. This is a time-tested process—a patient arrives to the clinic with XYZ history and suffers from XYZ complications. The provider then suggests the best clinical or surgical options based on what has worked for the disease in the past as well as what makes sense from experience in med school, residency, etc. In essence, treatment is targeted for alleviating symptoms or root causes of symptoms, which is great. Notice that potential solutions are personalized to the given disease more so than the patient directly. That distinct intent is where precision medicine begins. As you may imagine, patients with a given disorder can have wildly different reactions to similar treatment. To be clear, evidence-based medicine has way more benefits than drawbacks—precision medicine has been promoted over the last couple decades as taking care to another level. The greatest benefit patients get from precision medicine is that any treatment you take is created from your specific environment, lifestyle, and genetic makeup. For example, if someone ends up with a disease like lung cancer, there could be a customized therapy targeting the problem with that patient's genome in mind.Although genomics is a huge part of precision medicine today, especially with everything we've learned since the US's Human Genome Project finished up in the 2000s, precision medicine was in motion before then when the textbook Pharmacogenetics was published in 1962 by Dr. Werner Kalow. A helpful article on the Harvard Data Science Review dives more into the historical buildup of precision medicine, which I'll link on my Substack page at rushinagalla.substack.com. Even before the 20th century, doctors were interpreting data linked to the onset and treatment of disease to craft better options. For example, there might be a group of patients who all suffer from severe asthma. Precision medicine could in theory still occur here without going into each patient's genetic profile. In this situation, doctors could see that patients one to 100 live in cleaner-air environments than patients 101 to 150. Maybe patients 80 to 120 have other issues that make the asthma worse or better, and so on. Modelers then crunch and reformat all that unstructured data to suggest treatment for each individual. Obviously, evidence-based medicine isn't going away. If a whole region is dealing with an unusual flu outbreak, we know that making tweaks to the annual flu vaccines will do a reasonable job targeting the specific changes made by that strain of the flu itself without needing to consider every individual's situation case by case. Evidence-based care is still part of the foundation of what precision medicine does. But since in this day and age we're generating so much data and have a better understanding of our genetic code, there is more runway for precision medicine to take off such that patients may someday get one-of-one solutions to their issues.Shifting over to the genetic focus of modern precision medicine shows us that we can deal with patients who respond differently to common treatments. Some patients may need varying dosages, treatment lengths, or alternative choices because of side effects. Having 100% unique solutions for each person's medical issue is wonderful and utopian on paper. The reality of precision medicine's main playing field is cancer treatment, which is life-saving but not cheap. ~90% of precision treatments approved by the FDA in 2018 were for cancer indications. Well-known cancer therapy brand labels like Keytruda by Merck or Herceptin by Roche cost multiple hundreds of thousands a year before insurance discounts. There also could be issues between how customized the medicine is versus whether the patient actually matches up well to do the treatment. Cancer therapies are anything but short experiences—not all patients can handle extended courses even if the treatment is a perfect match for their genes. Not to mention that a skilled oncologist wouldn't be enough to oversee the treatment since there would be considerable expense involved for doing genetic sequencing and reading out results that not all doctors are trained to understand. Not all medical facilities are equipped to perform this kind of care regardless of superb personnel. It's also difficult to do a clinical trial to make better custom medicines in the first place since, by definition, uncommon diseases affect less people so clinical study recruitment becomes a separate challenge. This is part of why the biggest irony of precision medicine is that individual solutions improve only when you accumulate enough data at the population level. There is nothing inherently wrong there, but that's just where precision medicine is at for now.A recent in-depth review by the Brookings Institution think tank offers some insight on how “agile governance,” which is a policy approach for regulators to make better private and public partnership decisions for the purposes of innovation, can bring down precision medicine costs and ease logistical problems. That analysis focuses on aggregating private and public health care data, improving direct to consumer genetic testing incentives, and building international relationships between drug regulators among other possible initiatives to make precision medicine practical.Without a doubt, the medical field is still a number of years away from having consistent treatments with a capacity for individual genetic modifications serving patients at the outpatient clinic level. However, your care can still improve with better decision-making that still takes your social, genetic, and medical history into account so medicine doesn't reduce itself to just a bunch of if-then statements. Another field of medicine that shouldn't be reduced to algorithms is mental health, which is the prime subject of next week's pod. At that time, we'll learn about what mental health resources exist and how to use them well. Stay tuned and subscribe to Friendly Neighborhood Patient for the big and small pictures of healthcare.

We discuss some of the reasons plastic modelers might be reluctant to paint figures.  Also, why does it seem to be so difficult to explain the process of figure painting?  We will attempt to convince a few more modelers to give it a try by talking about why figures can add something to your models. We also give some tips for beginners that will hopefully help take away some of the apprehension.For some helpful images and links, visit our blog post here: http://www.boxdioramas.com/smallsubjects/2021/7/28/episode-3

The May 2021 AMA Club of the Month is the Blacksheep R/C Modelers Club!  Founded in 1990, the Blacksheep R/C Modelers is located near Danville, Indiana and has been a Gold Leader Club since 2003.  Their flying field is located on land owned, and rented to them, by Waste Management, with whom they have a wonderful relationship with, as well as with the rest of their local community.  Their National Model Aviation Day celebration is an annual highlight, and thanks to the hard work put into that event, the Blacksheep R/C Modelers have been able to donate nearly $47,000 to local charities over the years; such as the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation.   Trainer days are held for local youth groups, volunteer time is donated to local community programs, and this summer, the Blacksheep will be helping out with the Greencastle, IN EAA Young Eagles with a program to help their youth group build and learn to fly RC.Learn more about Blacksheep R/C Modelers ClubLearn more about the AMA

With declining numbers in cases and hospitalizations, Covid numbers look promising. However, Dr. Natasha Martin tells us that the latest Covid modeler says that the next couple of months will be worst.

January's AMA Club of the Month is The Riverside Aero Modelers Society!   The Riverside Aero Modelers Society is located in the Yadkin foothills of East Bend, North Carolina.  Averaging around 90 members, the RAMS membership pilots a variety of aircraft from giant scale to park flyers in multiple disciplines such as jets, electrics and even gas engines;  all flying from a 1000 foot runway that affords a beautiful panoramic view of Pilot Mountain State Park.  The RAMS' goals are simple:  to promote the fun and safety toward the sport of aero modeling.  This is accomplished in part by a membership who offers inclusion, respect and fellowship to all of its pilots.  And thanks to this philosophy, events such as their Premiere Warbird event, all electric fun fly, Dragonfly Helicopter event and their memorial giant scale event generates loads of fun for all visitors.. making them feel welcomed and appreciated.Check out the RAMS website Check out the RAMS Facebook groupLearn more about the AMA

Jeff Leon is a professional CAD modeler working on some of the world's most exciting and advanced concept and production vehicles. A graduate of Art Center College of Design, he's worked for companies such as Honda R&D Americas, GM Advanced Design, and Geely Design California. He is also a patented inventor and car nut.   Talking with Jeff is always a great time! A Ferrari fan, he explains how, early during the quarantine, he took it upon himself to tear down a Ferrari engine! His upbringing taught him what hard work is all about and why everyone should work in retail at some point in their life. Oh, and we also spoke about what CAD (Computer-aided design) design is all about. what it means to the auto industry and where its all going! Youre in for a treat! 

For most of us, learning to play the electric guitar started in a similar place. We had a guitar to learn on, a cable to plug in, and of course… an amplifier to make some noise. But now there are so many amp choices. Modeling, profiling, simulation pedals… what's right for you? What should you get? Why should you get it? We will discuss this, and more, on this group therapy session… with Jason on the Tweed Couch. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tweedcouch/support

Episode 53 of the Bench Time Podcast by HO Scale Customs brings us to the end of the year and the last episode of 2018!This week we discuss what is on our workbenches, Todd’s new build of KC’s Workshop’s Cameron Street Apartments and how he has detailed some of the multi-diverse materials of walls with some pretty neat tricks to create ivy vines, vintage wall signs, and window blinds, creating layers of depth to achieve great realism in ho scale. Also how these techniques will be demonstrated on Facebook Live builds happening this weekend which will be available to view on our HO Scale Customs Facebook page for those that don’t catch it live and long after this podcast airs.We then talk about the human side of model railroading and how the non-model railroader or non-fine scale modeler views us, the model railroader and fine scale artists, and what some often think about us.  How we are perceived at times by a lot of people.  How some admire our work, many may find it silly, others ask WHY?  And some may snicker. How we may want to avoid telling certain circles to avoid the stereotypes at times associated, and how it is healthy to not over-talk about model railroading and modeling with our loved ones, family and close friends to the point where it is all we talk about and we bore them to tears. We wrap up with some new details of the upcoming live facebook build-a kit program, some new capabilities with video on youtube and a big upcoming 2019 with lots of surprises and special guests. Also some of the cool model railroad Christmas gifts we received.

This busy weekend and upcoming Holidays on tepisode #52 of the Bench Time Podcast by HO Scale Customs we list and review some of the best non-professional modelers works from 2018!  In no particular order, we pick ten or so of our favorite structures, dioramas and sections of layouts base on our own personal opinions and there were so many many more we simply could not have fit in a single episode.  This year was BIG!  The year modelers turned up the volume!  Mammoth Structures and dioramas filled with tons of tiny details peppered the facebook groups and instagram photos! We saw creativity not just step outside the box but shred the border outlines of that box!  Modelers taking bold steps to try new material, multiple techniques, some old, some new, and giving the viewer unique design and perspectives, and we talk about our personal favorites!  Many of them were even guests of ours this year, and some of them supporters and listeners of our show!We also talk about the styles and types of paintbrushes we use.  How they feel, the applications we put them through, and what each design offers.  They are the cornerstone tool of artistry and what delivers and transfers what the artist sees onto their pieces.  Finally on this jam packed episode, we tell you all about a special Facebook Live with HO Scale Customs modeling project where everyone can participate in, be it the new to craftsman kit starter or the experienced old hand!  A craftsman kit structure soon to be released and announced that each viewer can purchase and follow along weekly step by step with Brett and Todd Wiley and an extra special modeling guest who will each give their own hints and tips each week until the completion of a uniquely designed with multiple building materials to teach a little bit about everything, and the modeler can stand back and say, “I did that!”  It is going to be a fun winter working on this for everyone!  We want to wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday season, and remember to take a break from the bench and enjoy time with family and friends!  Become a Patron! 

Questing, Why Movie and News

Welcome to the weekend our fine scale modeling freaks!  And with this weekend’s episode # 49 brings us to December and we talk about how we both loathe the cold Winter months ahead, and how to survive it through modeling and all that can be accomplished on our benches.  With Winter also brings us to the Holiday season and a time of year for many where we buy, and receive gifts and wouldn’t it be great to have a list of ideas on what to get for modeling instead of that ugly pair of socks and yet another ice scraper for your vehicle?  What are some good places to get those small stocking stuffers, items every modelers would love to have, many of which are inexpensive and things our families would never think to give.  What constitutes good directions and a few other topics are answered from Listeners questions!We discuss storage containers for our tools and small parts for easy portability from place to place in the home or to other locations away from the bench, and the color blue and how blue is used in water to enhance it’s effect and draw the eye.  But also how blue could be a total nightmare for other modeling projects that could completely take away from viewing pleasure if you are not careful!  Brett talks briefly about his new structure project build of Wiley Waterproofing by FOS Scale Models, and Todd has now begun his latest build Cameron Street Apartments by KC’s Workshop.There is a lot more in this episode and we mean, cram packed!  So buckle up and get to work on your bench and listen in!Join our Patreon Page! https://patreon.com/hoscalecustoms

Listen, we know, we know, we messed up and said it was episode 40 in the intro to the show, we were just too excited to hit that mark and we messed up. It's actually episode 39... Sorry for the premature milestone! This weekend brings in the Fall season, and here on the Bench Time Podcast we will kick off the cooler season by hosting Canadian Modeler Ron Pare of the Modelers Guild facebook group, and youtube channel Just Another Scale Modeler. Ron is an excellent detail modeler who has brought a lot to the model railroad community through social media, podcasting, and vlogging on youtube with his channel that created over 160 videos focused on teaching the skills of the hobby with instructional, informative topics, kit reviews, and many live builds of structures and scenery. Something we can relate to entirely! He has unselfishly devoted a lot of his personal time and money through the years to help others improve and enjoy their modeling and he brings with him a positive attitude and a sense of humor that the hobby needs like a big shot in the arm! Today on the show he shares with us some of his ideas on structures and scenery, tells us about his new studio, and his new layout he is building, shares some super cool tips with us, and we discuss some of the nuances of the artistry, state of the hobby and the many aspects of model railroading that we all love. We had a great time with Ron as our guest and our first testing of new audio equipment we are using to improve the quality of sound to the podcast and we hope you enjoy the show!

Happy Labor Day Weekend to our fellow Modelers! This week’s Bench Time Podcast we are joined by special guest model railroad specialist Ken Anderson! Ken does it all! From structures to scenery, fine detailed scratch building to rail operations His work is beautiful, creative, and has a touch of Southern U.S. charm that you don’t often see modeled. The normally obvious in real life detail, Ken brings to you in miniature and it will make you stop and ask yourself, “Hey! Why didn’t I ever think of that?”. A member of the Sippers and Switchers of North Carolina, a teacher of the hobby and art to many with his involvement with shows and local, regional events, Ken is always giving back whatever he can so that that others can better enjoy model railroading! Particularly, our youth. He has much to share with us, and in this episode he does not disappoint! So sit back on your holiday weekend, crack that cold beverage, turn the power onto the tracks, fire up the throttle, and enjoy learning with us! Support us on Patreon, become part of the show!

Support us on Patreon! On this special extra episode #30 of the Bench Time Podcast our guest is super size, large structure, urban scenery fine scale artist Frank Varga. His structures are a marvel of extreme detail, and his city scenes on his layout are jam-packed with everything your mind and eyes can think of. On his tall ho-scale buildings that borderline skyscrapers in scale, there is no details spared. We’re not just talking about on the roof or on the ground level, but from top to bottom, the walls come to life, his streets and alleys you can almost hear the sounds, feel the textures. Join us as we discuss with him how he adds the kaleidoscope of detail and creativity to his art. Listen as he explains how he views a scene as he recreates it from his eye. Plus we share some of our modeling techniques, how to use some very simple everyday materials to achieve great results, and you will feel the passion he has for his work. This podcast is a Cornucopia of inspiring ideas, and we had a lot of fun, as usual trading views on the finer points of modeling. Modelers talking with modelers about modeling!

It's all about plants on this week's Cultures of Energy podcast. Our guide is anthropologist Natasha Myers, director of the Plant Studies Collaboratory at York University (https://natashamyers.wordpress.com) and author of Rendering Life Molecular: Models, Modelers, and Excitable Matter (Duke University Press, 2015). We talk about Natasha's work in savannah ecosystems millennia in the making, how to sniff out chemical atmospheres and queer environmental monitoring practices. Natasha explains how plants conduct inquiry in their worlds, their sense and sentience, how they both catalyze and epitomize ecological relations. We discuss how plants trouble human notions of subjectivity, the possibility a plant-based phenomenology, end-of-time botanical tourism in Singapore, and whether gardening can be a redemptive practice. Natasha envisions plants as photosynthetic world-makers and tells us that if we humans want to thrive, our plants needs to thrive too. It's time to embrace the Planthropocene.

After reading Natasha Myers’s new book, the world begins to dance in new ways. Rendering Life Molecular: Models, Modelers, and Excitable Matter (Duke University Press, 2015) is a sensory ethnography of protein crystallographers that is based on five years of fieldwork conducted between 2003-2008 at a research university on the East Coast of the US. “Protein modelers are the scientists to watch in order to see what forms of life and what materialities are coming to matter in the twenty-first-century life sciences,” according to Myers, and the book bears out this statement. Those forms of life and materialities emerge from kinesthetic and affective entanglements created and navigated by the scientists in the course of their modeling work. Understanding that work – in part thanks to a thoughtful exploration of the notion of “rendering” that unfolds over the course of the book – helps us understand the ways that scientific knowledge is fundamentally embodied and gestural, and refigures scientific cultures as performance cultures. This is an exciting, inspiring book that is simultaneously a careful study of a particular local scientific culture, and a model for how to re-enchant our knowledge of the living world.
