An invasive species has taken hold in the Waikato River, and it's multiplying fast. Gold clams, tiny but relentless, are now found along a large stretch of the awa, where they threaten water infrastructure, and native species. Where might it invade next, and can we control it? Sign up to the Our Changing World monthly newsletter for episode backstories, science analysis and more.Learn more:Among their other conservation activities, the team at Kids Greening Taupō have taken on the challenge of speaking to every class about the gold clam to raise awareness.MPI's John Walsh spoke to Paddy Gower on Nine to Noon after last year's gold clam survey, and more recently to Kathryn Ryan about following the rules to prevent the clam's spread this trout fishing season.In Auckland, efforts are underway to protect the native kākahi from the threats of introduced fish.Guests:Dr Michele Melchior, Earth Sciences New ZealandKarl Safi, Earth Sciences New ZealandGo to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

When I arrived in New Zealand as an immigrant (in 1978), the Asian Paperwasp arrived here too. I remember I was impressed by the New Zealand obsessions to keep these invaders out of the kiwi ecosystems. A few years later I started working for the Ministry of Agriculture and the Asian (or Chinese) Paperwasp was still being pursued; unfortunately without success. We tried to create some pro-active techniques to stop unwanted critters making it to our wonderful country and every time some new pest arrives, I feel awful and ready to have a crack at a counter offensive. So – here we are …. With a real “Hornet” (Hornets are a different group of wasps): The yellow-Legged Hornet. Have a look at the pictures of these brutes: they have yellow legs and are way bigger than the wasps we are used to. They are originally from East and South-East Asia (My birth place: Indonesia!!) and rapidly moving all over the place: the rest of Asia, Korea, Japan, Now Europe, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy Belgium and the UK. Almost exactly 8 years ago it showed its “EU Passport” in the Netherlands; Let me tell you that the Dutch moved rather quickly to knock that hornet on the head… Good Luck!! Rather recently it was found in Ireland – an island with perhaps better chances to eradicate it. This Hymenopteran is on the move!! Nobody likes this beastie – it simply has no sense of humour; in terms of its dietary preference you could say that this Hornet is as selective as a vacuum cleaner. It goes for all sorts of native insects (flies, beetles, wasps, honey bees) ripe fruits, pollen and nectar, as well as people with allergies to wasp stings. So right now is the time to gather the Nature Nerds of our country and start our counter attack, together with the Ministry of Primary Industries. So far we've found 2 adult male yellow-legged hornets in Grafton and Albany – that was some months ago. A week ago there was a female (a Queen) in Glenfield, trying to build a brand-new nest. That nest was still small and light in colour: The very beginning of the nest, made by the queen (a so-called “primary nest”) This nest can grow much bigger as the colony builds up in numbers (up to 60 centimetre diameter); so far MPI haven't found any established nests yet So, how can we all help to give MPI a hand getting rid of this pest species: Gardeners are usually extremely observant, when it comes to insects on the property and in this case the identification is relatively easy (especially with NatureNerd kids in the household!!) Identification: The Hornets (on the left) are quite a bit bigger than German wasps (on the right), common wasps and our established species of paperwasps. Thorax and abdomen have different colours too. Wings rather dark and not translucent – I reckon most people can see that easily. At this stage we simply do not have a useful treatment to kill these rotters in your garden; I'm sure some scientists as well as back-yard inventors might try their luck with all sorts of concoctions, fatal to the hornets, but in my opinion it's best to do the following as soon as you find a nest or some big hornets in your garden: First Report it to MPI: Contact MPI's exotic pest and disease hotline: 0800 809 966 Carefully take a photo of the suspect insect(s) Alternatively: report these pests online: https://report.mpi.govt.nz/pest/ Have a look at the Fact Sheet: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=keep+an+eye+out+for+yellow-legged+hornetsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni explore one of the most important challenges for professional speakers: how to stay relevant in a rapidly changing marketplace. Maria explains why relevance to a paying market is the first element of her Bookability Formula and how speakers can identify what audiences will need today—and in five years' time. James shares how he blends perennial topics like creativity with fast-moving ones like AI, and why staying a few steps ahead of clients keeps him in demand. From industry reports and boardroom insights to experimenting with new keynote content and testing topics with the market before creating them, this conversation is packed with strategies to help speakers stay visible, booked, and valued in an ever-evolving industry.     Key Takeaways Relevance drives bookings – It's the #1 factor in Maria's Bookability Formula. Think five years ahead – Use strategy insights to prepare for how industries and audiences will evolve. Blend perennial and trendy topics – Pair evergreen skills (creativity, leadership, resilience) with emerging trends (AI, tech, demographics). Listen more, talk less – Relevance often comes from asking the right questions in discovery calls. Experiment before you build – Test keynote ideas, topics, or programs in the market before investing time and money. Differentiate by audience – Tailor your pitch for C-suite, event professionals, and bureaus, as each values relevance differently. Stay close to your industry – Associations like MPI and global markets (US, Europe, Asia) often signal future trends.     Memorable Quotes “The most important element of being bookable is relevance to a paying market.” – Maria Franzoni “Don't wait for five-year plans—ask what the world will look like in five years and move your speaking to match.” – James Taylor “Sell it before you create it. The market decides what's relevant, not you.” – Maria Franzoni “Relevance isn't just your topic—it's how you present it to different stakeholders.” – James Taylor     Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome and updates: group sessions and risky live AI music demos 04:24 – Why staying relevant matters: Maria's Bookability Formula 05:18 – James on blending perennial topics with fast-changing ones 06:45 – Strategy lessons from Eric Schmidt: think five years ahead 07:34 – Maria on LinkedIn Learning and WEF reports as future-skills guides 09:10 – How James tracks trends using board minutes, Gartner reports, Reddit 11:11 – Tech examples: AR glasses, live facial recognition, event tech 14:54 – Staying close to the meetings & events industry for insights 16:22 – Meeting professionals shaping the future of conferences 18:48 – Being too early: when audiences aren't ready for your message 20:01 – Test the market first: lessons from publishing and Dragon's Den 23:15 – Differentiating yourself in competitive pitches 25:00 – Evergreen vs. niche topics and industry-specific competition 27:20 – Relevance shifts depending on whether you're pitching C-suite, planners, or bureaus 28:07 – Discovery calls: listening, mirroring language, and building relevance 29:18 – Why listening is the most underrated skill for speakers 30:17 – Maria's tip: ask clients “How did you find me?” and “Why me?” before and after gigs 32:43 – James' tool: Opus Pro for creating viral short-form video clips 34:16 – Closing thoughts and listener questions    

Specs, millimeters, torque, hydraulic pressure… customers check out FAST when advisors go “full tech mode.” That's where analogies change the game. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, I share one of my favorite techniques that helps customers understand repairs without feeling overwhelmed: turning technical jargon into relatable stories. I'll cover: Why customers decline work when they don't understand the language How to use simple, everyday analogies (like crayons, sneakers, or coffee filters) The power of humor and storytelling to reduce tension and win trust How to practice analogies as a team for fun, memorable customer experiences A weekly challenge: turn two MPI jobs into analogies and test them with your team When you swap tech talk for real talk, customers nod, laugh, and approve more often. Analogies make the complex simple — and that's where credibility (and sales) live. Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |

The global humanitarian protection system is at a critical juncture. It is under major strain as record numbers of people have been forced out of their homes by a complex array of factors and protracted crises. Yet at the same time, a system created in the wake of World War II no longer meets today's challenges and is increasingly coming under political pressures, with some countries chafing at protection obligations. In this episode of the World of Migration podcast, one of the leading voices in the humanitarian protection world, Vincent Cochetel, discusses the future of refugee protection and the evolution of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) with Meghan Benton, MPI's director of global programs.

Here's something that's kinda awful to admit.I once dropped out of journalism school because I was terrified of networking. During a radio production class, I had to go out onto the street and do interviews with passers by.It was terrifying, and I vowed not to do that anymore.I have a feeling my experience would have been different if I'd run into E.J. Corporan. This guy makes Networking seem like breathing. Moments after I met him at MPI's WEC, he was acting like we'd known each other for years.I knew I neeeeeeeded him to talk about his secrets on the radio show. So this week - Exactly What to Do tells you how to be like E.J. and win with networking.And you don't even have to drop out of journalism school to get it done.

The fact there is a growing backlash to immigration in communities around the world is well established. What is less discussed are the solutions to address decline in social cohesion and rise in mistrust, misinformation, and prejudice. Meaningful contact between different groups can reduce tensions. Under the right conditions, this dynamic can strengthen social cohesion when newcomers and members of established communities come together and build meaningful relationships. Linda R. Tropp, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has spent decades studying how members of diverse groups experience contact with each other. In this episode, she and Natalia Banulescu-Bogdan, Deputy Director of MPI's International Program, discuss contact theory and the triggers that can make such relationships succeed or fail.

Utilizing other people's money is a crucial strategy for successful real estate financing. Networking with local real estate investors can provide significant opportunities for property acquisition. Exploring various financing options, including seller financing and hard money loans, is essential for aspiring investors. Understanding market cycles is vital for making informed investment decisions in real estate. Maintaining access to capital allows for strategic purchasing during market downturns, enhancing long-term profitability. The primary focus of this podcast episode is the intricate art of financing real estate investments, a subject of paramount importance for aspiring investors who often face financial constraints. I, Dustin Heiner, elucidate various strategies to acquire funding, emphasizing that one does not need substantial personal wealth to embark on a successful real estate investment journey. Instead, I expound on the utilization of other people's money, alternative financing methods, and creative problem-solving as vital components of effective investment practices. Throughout the discourse, I share personal anecdotes and insights derived from extensive experience in the field, thereby providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the current market dynamics and opportunities available for investors. As we navigate the complexities of real estate financing, it becomes evident that with the right knowledge and resources, financial independence and wealth creation are within reach for all who aspire to invest in this lucrative domain.financial independence, real estate investing, generational wealth, financing real estate, creative financing, how to invest in real estate, funding for real estate, mortgage options, seller financing, hard money loans, private money lenders, FHA loans, conventional mortgages, home equity loans, cash flow properties, multifamily investing, real estate coaching, credit card investing, access to capital, rental property financing

We're joined by Bill Garland who farms at Maungatautari in the Waikato and Dr Katherine Tozer, Senior Scientist at AgResearch, to talk deferred grazing. Around for many decades in different forms, it's gaining more popularity as a way to transfer feed from spring to autumn/early winter, to regenerate pastures and to cut down on diesel, seed and cropping/regrassing costs.  Could it have a place in your system? For more details, check out the deferred grazing information on B+LNZ's Factsheet, DairyNZ's Deferred Grazing page and AgResearch's guide book. This research was supported by AgResearch, DairyNZ, MPI, Ellett Trust, Ballance Agri-nutrients, Bay of Plenty Regional Council, Waikato Regional Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Beef + Lamb New Zealand and especially the many farmers who contributed their time, paddocks and expertise. 

Episode 28 is dedicated to the memory of Winnipeg City Councillor Jason Schreyer, who passed away on April 29th at the age of 57. You will hear a few details about the funeral held on Friday evening at St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church in his ward of Elmwood-East Kildonan. Area residents, community activists, political leaders past and present, and members of the music and cultural communities gathered with his family to pay their respects to a man referred to as "a True Son of the Greatest Generation."10.00 - The words spoken by his son Jared to the assembled mourners are reviewed, as is the unique upbringing and life experiences Jason had as the child of Ed and Lily Schreyer, raised in households led by a Premier of Manitoba who then became Canada's Governor-General. Marty Gold also provides some personal memories about Jason, who he first met in 1988 when a 21 year old Jason took a taxi ride to the airport. Jason made a number of appearances on City Circus TV and The Great Canadian Talk Show podcast, always eager to talk about civics, the art of politics, and the needs of the Elmwood-EK community.Jason understood the essence of public service. His kindness, friendship and support were invaluable and will never be forgotten.This episode is a single segment and contains no commercial interruptions. In the near future TGCTS will publish an episode describing the reception after the ceremony, and some of the conversations that took place- including one that was a big surprise to Marty. *****Here are our latest columns in the Winnipeg Sun: Driver punished by MPI for crime he didn't commitDriver acquitted of road rage charge taking MPI tocourt to clear suspension record Marion bike lane poses threat to St. Boniface business district

Microplastics seem to be everywhere, inside and outside our bodies. These micro and nano particles are shedding from our clothes, our tires, food packaging — basically anywhere there's plastic. People, animals, and plants are consuming these microplastics, thereby complicating the issue and contributing to health problems. But what health issues? And how do we avoid them? The science is still a work in progress, but today, we're finding out what we know so far. We're going to find out from an actual scientist what we know and don't know about the health implications of microplastics and what we can do about it. And we're going to try our best to find our way to a place of understanding without complete overwhelm.

On this much delayed episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy takes a look at the entire strata of the typical dealership and informs them of at least one major thing that they should take into consideration in order to make the process seamless. For ownership and boards of directors, it is very hard to get an accurate picture of a dealership's overall functionality just by the numbers. The numbers can tell you a lot, but it is sometimes hard to put toxic shops or bad processes into numbers. Working the way down, the message gets much more explicit for the Service Managers. This person should probably be well-acquainted with the chaos of a shop scenario, and needs the customer service skills to deal with people who have problems with their car, or your staff! This position is best filled with former shop foremen. Sales people just need to stay in their lane and no disrupt the process too much, while Service Advisors simply need to ask for the sale. If a Service Advisor has the added benefit of video MPI's this should be extremely easy! We also take ourselves and Lot Porters to task for a variety of issues, and finally Uncle Jimmy takes himself to task as well! Also Uncle Jimmy gives a shoutout to his teddy bear as the thunderstorm in the background would have warranted a dramatic reading of ‘The Raven' as an intro!

Auch wenn humanoide Roboter immer mehr menschliche Geometrien annehmen – mit ihren harten Formen aus Metall bleiben sie viel weniger flexibel als Menschen mit anpassbaren Muskeln und hochsensiblen Greifern. Künstliche Muskeln könnten Roboter viele Vorteile bringen und auch die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Mensch und Roboter sicherer machen. Unser Studiogast Prof. Christoph Keplinger leitet nach Stationen in Harvard und Colorado das Max-Planck-Institut für Intelligente Systeme (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart. Wir diskutieren über die Fortschritte in der Robotik, insbesondere den Übergang von harten zu weichen Materialien und die Nachahmung natürlicher Muskeln. Wir beleuchten die Bedeutung von embodied intelligence und die Zukunft tragbarer Robotik, die in den Alltag integriert werden kann. Wie wäre es, wenn künstliche Muskeln direkt in unsere Kleidung integriert wären? Wir wollen von ihm wissen, welche Rolle Kreativität im Designprozess spielt und welche Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung von Forschung in die Praxis zu meistern sind. Und Christoph erzählt von seinen Erfahrungen als Startup-Gründer und die Lektionen, die er aus seinen Fehlern gelernt hat. Takeaways Die Robotik entwickelt sich rasant weiter, insbesondere durch weiche Materialien. Künstliche Muskeln können die Beweglichkeit und Anpassungsfähigkeit von Robotern verbessern. Embodied Intelligence ermöglicht es Robotern, intuitiver zu agieren. Tragbare Robotik könnte die Lebensqualität im Alter erheblich verbessern. Die Nachahmung der Natur ist entscheidend für innovative Robotikdesigns. Kreativität im Designprozess ist unerlässlich für funktionale Roboter. Die Integration von Sensorik in künstliche Muskeln verbessert die Kontrolle. Start-ups spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Umsetzung von Robotikinnovationen. Zukünftige Roboter sollten nahtlos in den Alltag integriert werden. Künstliche Intelligenz spielt eine zentrale Rolle in der Robotik. Interdisziplinarität ist notwendig für innovative Lösungen. Kommunikationsfähigkeiten sind entscheidend für den Erfolg in der Forschung.

During his campaign, Donald Trump pledged swift and sweeping actions on immigration enforcement and policymaking more broadly. From his first day back in office, President Trump and his team began delivering on their promised “shock and awe,” with policies ranging from a halt to refugee resettlement and dramatically widened immigration enforcement in the U.S. interior to an effort to end birthright citizenship. Other high-profile actions, including the declaration of an “invasion;” dispatch of deportees to third countries such as Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador; and first-ever peacetime triggering of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, have followed.  Amid the “flood the zone” tempo and blizzard of headlines and legal filings during the administration's first 100 days, it is sometimes difficult to anticipate which actions will have the greatest impact and be most long-lasting.  On this webinar, MPI analysts assess the most consequential actions taken during the first 100 days, detail the litigation picture, and analyze some of the early effects of policies on communities across the United States. Read the related policy beat.

In this episode, I'm talking directly to the powerhouse behind the most successful service departments: Lane Managers. Also known as Assistant Managers, these leaders are the glue that holds the service drive together. I've been spending time on-site with service teams recently, and when Lane Managers are engaged, locked in, and supporting the hustle live on the drive—everything changes fast. We break down how Lane Managers reinforce training, support Advisors in the moment, jump into heat cases, and create an environment where growth isn't just expected—it's lived. From tightening up MPI processes to improving greeting structure, managing wait times, and even securing financing approvals—these leaders do it all. And when they do, you feel it: happier customers, faster approvals, more trust, and an energized team all rowing in the same direction. This episode is filled with real examples, easy-to-execute ideas, and reminders of just how impactful Lane Managers are. It's time to level up the leaders who keep the wheels turning!

In this episode, I'm in the trenches—literally—on-site with a dealership service management team I've been working with. We've trained, implemented new tactics, and now we're locking in on accountability without turning the heat up too high. Here's the truth: you don't need to micromanage to get big results. What you do need are simple, consistent actions that reinforce change. I walk through real-life examples—like how to use visual gauges during check-in, recognize loyal customers in the drive, and improve technician videos—to create habits that stick. We dive into: How to reward the right behaviors without burning people out Why shadowing advisors and reviewing MPI calls should be your weekly rhythm A fun team game called “Sell It to Me” that builds value-selling skills How easy metrics like % of tech videos completed can keep your team focused Simple contests and incentives that actually motivate people to grow Bottom line: when your people are having fun, feel seen, and know what to aim for—they win and so do your numbers. If you're a service manager who wants real accountability without the grind, you need this episode. Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |

El Instituto de Políticas Migratorias (MPI) publicó un informe en el que resalta que, por primera vez en 175 años, el crecimiento de la población en Estados Unidos se debe principalmente a la inmigración. 'El aporte de los migrantes es clave en sectores que sufren escasez de mano de obra', dijo a RFI Thomas Kennedy, vocero de la Coalición de Inmigrantes de Florida (FLIC). En medio de un descenso de la natalidad y la ofensiva de la administración Trump contra los inmigrantes indocumentados, que también afecta a los migrantes legales, el MPI ha publicado un informe según el cual entre 2022 y 2023, la migración fue el único factor que impulsó el crecimiento poblacional en ese país. En ese período, el número de inmigrantes aumentó en 1,6 millones, alcanzando los 47,8 millones en 2023, según el informe de ese centro con sede en Washington."La migración ha contribuido de forma importante al crecimiento de la población estadounidense, que se ha ralentizado en la última década debido al descenso de las tasas de natalidad", señala también el MPI en su informe.Thomas Kennedy destacó a RFI los aportes de los inmigrantes, incluidos aquellos en situación irregular."Aquí en Estados Unidos, el Seguro Social, nuestro sistema de pensiones, es financiado en gran parte por los inmigrantes. Cuando un inmigrante llega a este país, el único número oficial al que puede acceder es un ‘Tax ID' [número de identificación fiscal]. Con este número, también conocido como ‘ITIN number', el migrante puede pagar sus impuestos cada año. Cuando tenés la oportunidad de ajustar tu estatus migratorio, te preguntan cuándo entraste al país. Pues bien, tenés que demostrar que has pagado todos tus impuestos desde ese momento utilizando tu número de identificación fiscal", explica Kennedy.Pagar impuestos sí, beneficiarse de ellos, noSin embargo, los inmigrantes realizan más aportes, en particular al Seguro Social, sin beneficiarse automáticamente de ellos."Aparte de pagar impuestos, tenés que contribuir al Seguro Social. La cuestión es que una persona indocumentada no recibe los beneficios del Seguro Social durante los años en que estuvo en esa condición. Ellos están aportando a un sistema del que se benefician los ciudadanos estadounidenses, pero no ellos. Esto hace que el dinero disponible para las pensiones sea mayor de lo que sería sin el aporte de los inmigrantes. Por eso, deportar a esta gente afecta el sistema de pensiones", señala Kennedy.Casi tres cuartas partes de los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos están en el país de forma legal y casi la mitad son ciudadanos naturalizados. Representan una fuerza laboral clave con un impacto significativo en la economía.Escasez de mano de obra en varios sectores "Estados Unidos enfrenta ahora una escasez de mano de obra muy aguda en varios estados. Por ejemplo, los jubilados están viniendo a vivir a Florida, mientras que los jóvenes se van por el alto costo de vida, que empeora cada mes. En enero, la inflación subió un 3%. La gente ya no está dispuesta a formar una familia como antes porque es demasiado costoso. La única manera de cubrir la falta de trabajadores en estos sectores es con la inmigración", subraya Kennedy.El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional llevó a cabo 685.000 deportaciones de inmigrantes indocumentados el año pasado. Esta cifra podría aumentar debido al endurecimiento de la política migratoria desde la llegada al poder del presidente Donald Trump.

It follows a 1000 water foul at Otago's Waikouaiti waste water treatment plant dying from the bacterial disease. Otago fish and game said the majority of the dead birds collected so far were paradise shelduck, a native species which traditionally used oxidation ponds at the treatment plant as a moulting site. MPI has ruled out bird flu. Now wildlife rescuers are dealing with a second suspected outbreak of avian botulism after dozens of dead and sick birds were retrieved from Timaru's Washdyke lagoon on Monday. Wildlife vet Brett Gartrell spoke to Lisa Owen.
