Podcasts about Prism

This episode continues our conversation with Kristopher Williams of PRISM and a frequent guest on Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley. Kris is our go-to expert about all things invasive. We have talked to him about invasive plants, insects and diseases. Today we asked Kris to tell us some of the success stories about his long career as an environmental advocate. We have spoken to Kris in previously aired episodes 23, 24, 31,and 189, in case you want to look a little deeper into his work. First a reminder of the definition: PRISM stands for Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management. It is one of eight regional districts in the state devised by NYS DEC and funded by the EPA to try to control the onslaught of invasive species of all kinds into the state. Part 2 features another success story. The Hudson Crossing Park in Schuylerville, NY is on the Washington/Saratoga County line. It's an island in the Battenkill near Lock 5 of the Champlain Canal. Over a period of several years, a volunteer group sought advice from the PRISM organization. It began with a speaking engagement on the actual site, combined with a “park walk” to assess the trail network, pavilion and gardens already in place. This is what Kris calls the outreach component, educating interested people. A year later, the group asked for advice on how to manage the woodland in the park. The next year they asked for maps to divide the area into plots. Another year later, the woman leading the efforts attended a regional partnership meeting and reported a successful grant application and heavy equipment acquisition. The progress continued. They designed a “tree promenade” of native trees and underplanted it with native shrubs. The funding magic continued as more local businesses participated.They ended up with fifty trees and thirty shrubs, planted by an army of volunteers and local businesses along with members of the PRISM team. This can be replicated, usually with a “driver”, a motivated volunteer. There is a link here to the park's website.  Tim then changed the subject to an invasive he's particularly irked by... Japanese stilt grass. Possible solutions were discussed, including some failures. It all ended with a positive note, though. Kris had cleared stiltgrass from an area and replanted with natives. The following season checkup revealed NO stiltgrass. The natives had prevailed. As an added note, there is some study going on regarding the effects of tannins from Hemlocks being a deterrent to stilt grass. So hope remains in the control of invasive species. Stay tuned!

This episode brings back our frequent guest, Kristopher Williams, of PRISM (Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management). Eight PRISMs exist across New York State and work to prevent or minimize the harm caused by invasive species on our environment, economy, and health and welfare of residents. PRISMs are intended to coordinate invasive species management functions including coordinating partner efforts, recruiting and training citizen volunteers, identifying and delivering education and outreach, establishing early detection monitoring networks and implementing direct eradication and control efforts. Regional partnerships with nonprofits, municipalities, conservation groups and volunteers are devised to cast the widest net for control over an enemy that recognizes no artificial borders. The Capital Region Prism ranges from the Catskills to the Adirondacks, encompassing eleven Counties and three million acres. Kris is our go-to expert about all things invasive. We previously have talked to him about invasive plants, insects and diseases. Today we asked Kris to tell us some of the success stories about his long career as an environmental advocate. Our earlier conversations with Kris have aired in episodes 23, 24 and 31, in case you want to look a little deeper into his work. The team has five core members and sixteen seasonal members on staff. Their mission is to coordinate all available resources, public and private, along with volunteers, to combat the multitude of invasive problems and organize alternatives. Their mission includes massive public lands and advisory status for privately owned properties. They act as the glue, Kris says, to hold all entities together. PRISM delivers science and educational programs for maximum impact, and always keeps in mind the different objectives of local and statewide groups. Tim asked Kris for some success stories, since we have discussed so many problems in the past. Kris listed some of the lasting beneficial effects: people achieve self-actuation by becoming aware of and seeking resolutions to invasive incursions; celebrating local impacts to inspire further efforts; there is now an exposition on invasives every two years; college-level programs are now available educating about invasives and remedies. The conversation drifted to the emotional part of treatment of invasives. Most of them got here because they were introduced for a particular feature, and then “escaped” because they were prolific and had no natural enemies. There are also “sleeper” invasives, a new designation. These are known invasives that are still being sold to the public. Unfortunately sixty-one per cent of all invasives are still being sold. There is a patchwork of states regulating and actively banning sale of certain plants. One success story Kris talks about is the Grassland Bird Trust. Washington County had a 20,000 acre trust facing the issue of dealing with invasives. A management plan was devised and a board established. Kris detailed the progress over several years as a management system was put into place and assessed for success year by year. Tim asked about what happens with much smaller efforts, and Kris described available training in IPM (integrated pest management) and land management as well as other volunteer-led controls, with consultation with PRISM staff. Basic measurements to assess success include removal, restoration, and adapting responses to predetermined thresholds. There's a lot of issues associated with invasive species management. Stay tuned for more in the next episode (Part 2).

Welcome back to the It's All Greek Retrospective series that contains previously aired short segments about gardening acronyms, jargon, and botanical nomenclature. In this third and last part of a series, Master Gardener Jean Thomas covers plants that have been named after people, a discussion about soil pH, and a range of acronyms. The first short segment covers the popularity of naming plants for people. It's been going on since people began naming plants at all, dating back to at least four centuries BC. Two causes are usually to blame; either the ego of the “discoverer” or the desire to flatter someone powerful. There are often great stories to uncover. One of the most interesting is the name of the Christmas standard, the Poinsettia (not poinTsettia). Dr, Joel Poinsett was the first U.S. Ambassador to Mexico and an avid plant collector. His life story is a colorful one, but the only reason anyone remembers his name is because of the seasonal flower. Actually, the history of the flower and its interaction with humans is equally interesting. Some other names every gardener is familiar with are: Forsyth because this gentleman (1737-1804) was a respected palace gardener in England and was honored with the name of the familiar Forsythia; Kasper Wister (died in 1818) was a famous botanist in Pennsylvania and honored with the name of the popular Wisteria. Wister and Forsyth were honored by the English botanist Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859), who spent over thirty years cataloging plants in the U.S., and had the power to assign formal names to plants. The familiar Magnolia x soulangeana was named by and for Pierre Magnol and m. Soulange-Boudin, and developed from two Chinese species. Many familiar shrubs bear the species names (like Sargentii( C.S. Sargent), Fortuneii (R. Fortune), Thunbergii ( Carl Peter Thunberg)), named for contemporaries and students of Linnaeus. Many plant and animal names honor the interesting Pere Armand David with the appelation “davidii.” The familiar Fuchsia (Dr. Fuchs) and Dahlia (Dr. Dahl) are good herbaceous examples. The large Lobelia group (415 species) was named by Linnaeus himself for Dr. Mathias De Lobile. The conversation then moves on to one of the great topics discussed by gardeners without a real understanding of the mechanism. The pH of soil is crucially important and measured and adjusted fanatically by gardeners. The way the chemistry works is described, starting with the litmus papers we dealt with in school science classes. Cations and anions are the active ions that determine how soil makes nutrition available to plants. A scale is used, with one end called acid and the other end called alkaline. The place on the scale tells the soil's description as to what kinds of nutrients are best assimilated. “Acid” soil is best for blueberries and Rhododendrons and “Alkaline” soil is better for Lilacs and Spirea. Gardeners assiduously “adjust” the soil with amendments like sulfur or wood ash, remembering that this takes several seasons to effect. Jean closes this segment with an aside about names where she wonders about Monkshood, Begonias and Darth Vader. The final segment moves on to acronyms, which translates to “names from the extremities.” It refers to new names for things created from the initials of word describing the things. Like Scuba, Laser, and Yahoo. There is also another related usage of initials called initialism, where the actual letters are sounded out, not merged into a new word. For instance, AT&T or DEC. Both of these practices are twentieth century phenomena. Further discussion of acronyms leads us to AVID, CRISP and PRISM, all popular programs in New York, devised by Cornell and the NY Department of Conservation. In a nutshell, the ideal acronym is an invented word that should either help recognize its subject or be catchy enough to be memorable and relatable to its subject.

Join us for this week's Prism of Torah as we explore Parshas Eikev's most intriguing derivation. When Moshe tells Bnei Yisrael "Ma Hashem shoel me'imcha" - what does Hashem ask of you - the Gemara in Menachos transforms this into the obligation of 100 daily brachos. But three questions demand answers: Why is this mitzvah derived specifically from the pasuk about Yirat Shamayim? What's significant about changing the word "ma" to "me'ah"? And why precisely 100 brachos - not 90 or 110?Drawing from the Divrei Yoel and Sfas Emes, discover how fear of Hashem connects to constant awareness, how the word "ma" represents a crucial spiritual quality, and why 100 specifically builds the foundation for divine presence. Plus, hear the inspiring story of a yeshiva student whose careful bracha tracking caught the attention of a wealthy visitor, leading to an unexpected shidduch.Transform your understanding of daily brachos and discover practical tools for living with spiritual awareness. This episode offers profound insights into Yirat Shamayim, humility, and building a personal Mishkan through mindful Jewish practice.Keywords: Torah podcast, weekly parsha, Parshas Eikev, Jewish learning, 100 brachos, Yirat Shamayim, Gemara Menachos, spiritual awareness

In this episode, I talk with Daphne Michaels, a bestselling author, human potential expert and former psychotherapist whose work bridges behavioral science with spiritual insight. Daphne shares the turning points that shaped her path and how she helps others access greater awareness and possibility through practical tools and energetic alignment.Some Key Highlights:The childhood experience that helped her see chaos and calm as equally realWhat she discovered during a late-night drive that shifted her life's directionHow depression led to the start of her formal journey into personal growthA surprising insight about posture, energy, and presenceWhy she believes consciousness—not willpower—is the key to lasting changeDaphne's story is a reminder that transformation doesn't always follow a straight line. It unfolds through the body, the psyche, and our willingness to engage with both mystery and science.

Hello Hillside! I (Dan) invite you to church this Sunday morning at 10:00. Please remember that church will be happening in two places: our park-like Hilltop campus at 2060 Magnolia Way, and the green and glorious Civic Park in downtown Walnut Creek.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – I love watching the press conferences where Donald exposes the lies of the media, the cabinet meetings, the heads of state meetings, and the committee meetings. It is AWESOME to see the way our government works, even in the times when it is maddening to watch some of the stupid antics made by either party...

In this episode, I sit down with Clay Moffat, a former Navy weapons tech turned high-performance behavioral strategist and author of The Trust Trap. Clay's life took a sharp turn when he went legally blind in one eye, torched a 7‑figure business chasing a failed app, and was forced to confront the patterns of self-betrayal that had shaped his identity. Through raw introspection and tactical reframing, he rebuilt himself—and now helps leaders reclaim their authority and live in ruthless alignment with their values. Clay's story is an unfiltered look at the high cost of misalignment—and the deep power of rewiring trust, from the inside out.Some Key Highlights:The identity-shattering moment he realized self-betrayal was at the root of his strugglesHow he rewrote his inner dialogue by uncovering the positive intent behind toxic self-talkThe nuanced difference between trust as a virtue vs. trust as a mutual exchangeWhat it really takes to recover after burning your business—and your reputation—to the groundHis radical view on boundaries, victimhood, and personal sovereigntyThis episode is packed with insights that challenge conventional thinking on trust, identity, and power. Whether you're rebuilding after a fall or ready to stop betraying your own standards, Clay's perspective is a must-hear.Clay's links:https://www.facebook.com/clay.moffathttps://x.com/MoffatClaywww.claymoffat.com/We'd appreciate a review on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – Just as in Ancient times, FEAR is used to create the crisis so people will scream for CONTROLS. The government can then use massive regulations to suppress the opposition and control the people. Now, the Deep State has added another component for control called AI. AI can be a great resource used for good...

Ever wondered if the key to your future is already inside you, just waiting to be noticed? In this enlightening episode, Laura Day, renowned intuitive, bestselling author, and advisor to the world’s biggest companies joins Sarah Grynberg to unpack the power of intuition, practical magic, and why true transformation starts with the smallest of shifts. From surviving an unimaginable childhood to guiding CEOs and celebrities, Laura shares the lessons, tools, and mindset that helped her create a life of impact, purpose, and deep self-trust. You’ll learn: *Why intuition isn’t mystical, it’s measurable, trainable, and you already have it. *How shifting your internal “prism” can change your entire reality. *What manifestation really means (spoiler: it’s not about wishful thinking).

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – After a recent broadcast, I got several emails from Democrat listeners. I wanted to share the emails with you because they will give you an indication of how the left thinks. I constantly tell you when you have a conversation with Democrats or people on the fence, ask questions. You can present facts, but you will soften the conversation if you...

Today's episode is a powerful conversation about legacy, love, and how technology is reshaping the way we protect our wealth and our families.My guest is Martha Underwood, a 25-year tech veteran and the founder and CEO of Prismm, a digital vault platform that helps families and financial institutions securely manage documents, streamline inheritance transfers, and reduce the chaos that often comes with crisis. Prism was born out of Martha's own family emergency—when her father was injured during Hurricane Irma and no one could locate the documents needed to access care or funds.Since then, she's made it her mission to protect consumers—especially women—from being left out or left behind when it matters most.In our conversation, we talk about the rise of AI bias and what it means for your money, the real risks of becoming unbanked, and how your data—yes, even your browsing history—can be used to make financial decisions about you without your knowledge or consent. Martha also shares smart, practical advice for how to start important legacy conversations with your aging parents, and why women must play a leading role in shaping the future of financial technology.

Laura Day is the world-renowned intuitive and NYT best-selling author. Her transformative new book The Prism is incredible and we hear all about it in this brand new episode. Laura is internationally known for helping guide some very famous folks - Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Lucy Hale - on their own healing journeys. She also consults a number of Fortune 500 companies to help them predict their financial futures.   In this conversation we hear why dissolving the ego is a myth, how intuition actually works, how your pathology IS your potential, and why your answers aren't always “within.” Plus, we talk about creating the life you want not by changing yourself, but by changing your life — one tiny shift at a time. Laura shares personal stories of surviving a traumatic childhood, her psychic gifts, and her refreshing take on personal growth that's practical, not precious. This one's deep, rich, and truly soul-expanding. Learn more about our remarkable #cattsadlernow guest here: lauraday.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – Attack us they have. Instead of guns, they have used indoctrination. Our college students, the future leaders of America, have just selected an openly globalist-Communist-Islamist-Racist to be their candidate of choice for Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani. They elected him without knowing what any of those descriptive words mean...

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – Not teaching science in school eliminates the opportunity for students to develop the ability to reason and think critically. The part of the brain that regulates logic, reason, and critical thinking...never develops properly. The student grows up learning to accept, comply, and become an obedient little follower. Students are not taught HOW to...
