Podcasts about R1

This week's show kicks off with a quick run-down of the remaining Round 2 application deadlines; on Monday and Tuesday there are a handful of schools with apps due. Graham then highlighted an important admissions tip that Clear Admit recently published, regarding whether the optional essay should be used. He then presented the Columbia Business School 2022 employment report, which led with financial services, followed by consulting; the graduating class have a huge average starting salary of $175,000. Graham then highlighted the two deferred enrolment events that Clear Admit is hosting on February 1 and February 8 with ten leading business schools. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/defer23 For candidate reviews, Graham and Alex tackle two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: First up, Alex choses a candidate who dropped out of high school, but 13 years later is completing their undergraduate after stints in the private sector and in the army. They still need to complete the GRE or GMAT exam, but we think there is a lot to like, in terms of how they've appeared to successfully manage their unorthodox career to date. This week's second candidate also looks very promising, with one weak spot; a GRE of 318. Alex and Graham think that with the programs they are targeting, they should hear some positive news (assuming well-executed applications). Finally Alex and Graham discuss a candidate who ran the table with their R1 applications and has selected Michigan / Ross, despite having several other MBA options to consider. Some of those other options might appear to be more promising, but the nuances regarding each individual's decision making can lead to a variety of outcomes. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by Dennis Crowley in West Philadelphia. Thanks for listening, and for telling any fellow-MBA applicants about the show. Stay safe everybody!

Happy belated Christmas to those who celebrate! This week's episode kicks off with a discussion about the flood of upcoming Round 2 application deadlines, which start right after the New Year. Graham then highlighted the Real Humans stories from Manchester / Alliance and Johns Hopkins / Carey. Graham also noted a new holiday series that Clear Admit is publishing where we follow up on prior “Real Humans” with a series of holiday-related questions - a little fun, which led to Graham quizzing Alex on his Christmas traditions. We then discussed the Class of 2022 employment report from Wharton, which was in line with other leading MBA programs in terms of an outstanding median salary of $175,000 and a slight dip in terms of the numbers going into the tech sector. Graham then highlighted the deferred enrolment events that Clear Admit is hosting in February, which include the likes of Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Chicago, MIT, Columbia and more. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/defer23 Given the plethora of R1 decisions received, this week's candidate profiles include two DecisionWire entries for the first time this admissions season.  The episode also features an ApplyWire entry. First up, Alex selects a DecisionWire entry from a candidate who is deciding between Berkeley / Haas, Columbia, MIT / Sloan, and Yale SOM. They have some scholarship money from Haas, Sloan and Yale, and they want to work in tech on the west coast post-MBA. One interesting element to add to the decision is that they were an undergraduate from Haas, and wonder if that should play into their decision at all.  This week's second DecisionWire candidate is debating between Haas, Columbia (with a joint degree), and Duke /Fuqua (with scholarship). A key element influencing their decision is additional concerns related to cost of living, lifestyle, and their partner and two year old daughter. There's a case to be made for all three options... This week's final candidate is applying from Stockholm, Sweden, so we think they are in the online gaming or media industries. Alex and Graham do think there is a potential that their background profile and experience will help them standout, but your hosts worry about the combination of a lower GPA and more pedestrian(for top programs) GRE of 320. Perhaps MBA Math is worth exploring. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the always merry Dennis Crowley in frigid West Philadelphia. Please remember to spread the word about this show by rating, reviewing, and really telling anyone who will listen to tune in! Happy holidays to all and to all a good night...(or day).....

Hundreds of families have been living in community halls in and around Kwa-Zulu Natal after heavy flooding ravaged the province in April this year, leaving families destitute and even washing away infrastructure.  According to the KZN provincial government, more than 4,000 people lost their homes in the floods, which caused an estimated R17bn in damage. One of those affected by the devastating floods was *Ntombezintle Zulu from Umlazi Durban. Zulu shared her experience of spending almost 8 months in a community hall after losing everything. Zulu's wish to not spend Christmas in a community hall came true on December 14 when when the KZN government announced that it would be relocating families at her shelter.  The 42-year-old single mom of says she is relieved that she will be able to have space to spend Christmas alone with her children after being in a shelter for most of the year.  In late November, the KwaZulu-Natal finance department said R1.1bn in flood relief from National Treasury had been allocated. Social development received R48.5m to support and protect flood victims in mass shelters.  *Disclaimer: the name of the subject of this story has been changed to protect her identity.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: You can still fetch the coffee today if you're dead tomorrow, published by davidad (David A. Dalrymple) on December 9, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. "You can't fetch the coffee if you're dead."—Stuart Russell, on the instrumental convergence of shutdown-avoidance Note: This is presumably not novel, but I think it ought to be better-known. The technical tl;dr is that we can define time-inhomogeneous reward, and this provides a way of "composing" different reward functions; while this is not a way to build a shutdown button, it is a way to build a shutdown timer, which seems like a useful technique in our safety toolbox. "Utility functions" need not be time-homogeneous It's common in AI theory (and AI alignment theory) to assume that utility functions are time-homogeneous over an infinite time horizon, with exponential discounting. If we denote the concatenation of two world histories/trajectories by ⊳, the time-consistency property in this setting can be written as This is property is satisfied, for example, by the utility-function constructions in the standard Wikipedia definitions of MDP and POMDP, which are essentially Under such assumptions, Alex Turner's power-seeking theorems show that optimal agents for random reward functions R will systematically tend to disprefer shutting down (formalized as "transitioning into a state with no transitions out"). Exponential discounting is natural because if an agent's preferences are representable using a time-discount factor that depends only on relative time differences and not absolute time, then any non-exponential discounting form is exploitable (cf. Why Time Discounting Should Be Exponential). However, if an agent has access to a clock, and if rewards are bounded by an integrable nonnegative function of time, the agent may be time-inhomogeneous in nearly arbitrary ways without actually exhibiting time inconsistency: Any utility function with the above form still obeys an analogous version of our original time-consistency property that is modified to index over initial time t0: Note that time-homogenous utility functions are a special case in which U(t,h)=γtU(0,h). Time-bounded utility functions can be sequentially composed We define a time-bounded utility function as a dependent tuple i.e., a family of utility functions indexed by times within a given fixed range. The intended semantics of a time-bounded utility function in (τ,R) form is: Given two time-bounded utility functions (in the same environment), they can be concatenated into a new time-bounded utility function: You can check that ⊳ is a monoid, with the neutral element given by (0,∅). How to build a shutdown timer Let R1 be the reward function for a time-bounded task and τ1 be the time limit for the task, after which we want this agent to shut down. Assume that R1 also has bounded output, with per-stage reward always between R1––– and ˆR1. We define We can then define τ2 to be 1 or indeed any positive integer. If an agent does not reach a shutdown state before τ1 is up, then it will realize a cost in R2 that outweighs all other rewards it could receive during the episode by a factor of C (a constant greater than 1). Therefore, optimal agents for (τ1,R1)⊳(τ2,R2) must shut down within time τ1 with probability ≥1−1/C (if the shutdown state is reachable in that time by any agent). Proof Suppose that the optimal policy π∗ results in a shutdown probability p

There's a lack of women in top leadership positions at many universities across the country. A study by the Women's Power Gap found that only 22 percent of what's considered R1 universities currently have a woman serving as president. American Association of University Women CEO Gloria Blackwell discusses some of the study's highlights. New York University Professor Teboho Moja breaks down why this is a systemic issue. CUNY Graduate Center's President Dr. Robin Garrell explains what's different at a university with a history of women in its presidency.

I don't want to be disparaging, but there is some massive confusion from inaccurate data posted about BHB and R,1-3 Butanediol. What are those? And what do we need to take for performance gains? Let's get into it. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In this video, let's discuss the scientific difference between ketone esters like Delta G, and other “ketone drinks” that contain just BDO, or R-1,3-BDO, such a Ketone IQ. Delta G Is 1 part BHB and 1 part R-1,3 Butanediol. Ketoneaid has products that mimic both, which is a great third party to compare these other two big brands to. More on that in the video! (What are "hard ketones"?) Others like Ketone IQ, HVMN are just BDO Ketonaid has a drink that is both, and also some marketed to get you buzzed. R1,3 Butanediol is an alcoholic ketogenic precursor, not a ketone ester, and we'll talk about how this negatively affects performance AND some really bad test results in a study. The Delta G CEO even tried with @darpa and @nihgov to use 1,3 Butanediol because it was cheaper to make, however it was discarded since it was getting subjects drunk +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Podcast with Frank from Ketoneaid: https://insideouthealth.libsyn.com/frank-llosa-the-truth-about-ketone-esters-and-how-to-spot-deceiving-marketing Ketoneaid HARD KETONES: https://shop.ketoneaid.com/collections/all/products/r-1-3-butanediol Check all academic ketone studies on our website or on the @nihgov website. 1,3B on cycling, intoxication https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30632425/ Glycogen Sparing: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(16)30355-2?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS1550413116303552%3Fshowall%3Dtrue ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Full Blog With Training Tips: www.evoq.bike/blog Subscribe to Our Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/ggRc4n Follow Along on Strava: https://www.strava.com/pros/5889 EVOQ Training Packs: https://www.evoq.bike/training-packs TrainingPeaks Store Programs: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans/search?language=en&sort.field=soldCount&sort.dir=desc&keyword=evoq&index=0 Ketones, Delta G Tactical: https://www.deltagketones.com/products/g-tactical CODE Brendan for 15% off Lactigo: www.lactigo.com/brendan MORE WATTS and LESS BURN Airofit: https://www.airofit.com/?sca_ref=476545.3AVnm3vdGW Best Chamois Cream: https://www.hellobluecbd.com/, Code Brendan Codyceps Mushrooms: www.realmushrooms.com, Code EVOQ.BIKE Best shades: https://www.julbo.com/en_us/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/evoqbike/support

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Altruistic kidney donation in the UK: my experience, published by RichArmitage on November 30, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Last week I donated a kidney as an altruistic donor through the UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme (UKLKSS). This post will cover the landscape of kidney donation in the UK, how kidneys from living donors are shared in the UK, the process of donating through the UKLKSS, and some reflections on my experience. Note: this post discusses details of altruistic kidney donation specifically in the context of the UK. Kidney donation in the UK At any one time, some 3,500-5,000 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) sit on the UK's national waiting list in need of a kidney donation. While most of these are adults, 112 children (under 18 years of age) were in need of a replacement kidney in April 2021 (most recent data available). While waiting for a replacement kidney, these individuals must undergo renal dialysis for three to four hours per session, three times every week, which imposes severe limitations on the freedom in their lives and their ability to enjoy a ‘normal' existence. Around 250 of these people die every year, either because a suitable donor cannot be identified in time, or after they are removed from the waiting list due to a deterioration in their health that renders them no longer able to endure the necessary surgery and immunosuppressive therapies inherent to organ transplantation. Around 3,000 kidney donations take place in the UK each year, of which about 2,000 originate from deceased donors (an opt-out system of organ donation after death came into effect in Wales in 2015, in England in 2020, and in Scotland in 2021, and Northern Ireland will follow suit in 2023), and about 1,000 from living donors. Kidneys constitute by far the most frequently donated solid organ in the UK (67.6% of all solid organ donations in 2019/20), followed by liver lobes (which can also be donated by living donors), and heart, lungs and pancreas (which obviously cannot). How are kidneys from living donors shared in the UK? Kidneys donated from living donors are ‘shared' across the UK through the UKLKSS, which includes paired/pooled donations (PPD), and altruistic donor chains (ADCs) that are initiated by non-directed altruistic donors (NDADs). A person in need of a kidney (the recipient) may have a specific individual (such as a family member, partner or close friend) who is prepared to donate one to them (the donor), but is unable to do so directly since this donor-recipient pair is incompatible by Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) type or ABO blood group. Such incompatible linked donor-recipient pairs are registered in the UKLKSS and ‘matched,' through quarterly Living Donor Kidney Matching Runs (LDKMR), with other incompatible linked donor-recipient pairs that, in some combination, are together compatible for donation exchanges. In PPDs, a two-way (in paired donation) exchange occurs between two linked pairs (D1-R1 and D2-R2) in which D1 donates to R2, and D2 donates to R1, while a three- or greater-way (in pooled donation) exchange occurs between more than two linked pairs in which (for example) D1 donates to R2, D2 donates to R3, and D3 donates to R1. Individuals not in linked pairs but who wish to donate a kidney without the promise of a linked recipient receiving one in return can do so anonymously as NDADs. Such donors are registered into the UKLKSS and donate to a recipient in the paired/pooled scheme, triggering an ADC consisting of multiple donations (NDAD donates to R1, D1 donates to R2, D2 donates to D3, and so on) that culminates (when no compatible linked pairs remain) in the last donor donating to a recipient on the national waiting list. The first non-directed altruistic kidney donation in the UK took place in 2006 and, since the beg...

On today's show we're talking about affordable housing initiatives. It's no secret that housing in many major cities like Toronto, San Francisco, Vancouver, Los Angeles is increasingly difficult to find, and highly unaffordable. In a free market, this is a function of supply and demand. Many of these cities have struggled with allowing new supply as a result of bureaucratic gridlock. Some homeowners have added supply to the market by adding secondary suites, or accessory dwelling units. These are often a basement apartment in climates where homes have basements. Sometimes, it's an attic apartment, or a rear apartment. In each case, the accessory dwelling must share the utilities from the main house. A few years ago, a new classification of accessory dwelling unit was introduced. These coach houses, sometimes called a backyard tiny home, are separate dwellings that just like their attached counterparts must take their utilities from the main house. The province of Ontario just introduced legislation that would allow for two accessory dwelling units on each R1 residential property for a total of three. You could have a basement dwelling unit or attic apartment attached to the main house, and a separate carriage home all on the same property. This idea is that these units are among the more affordable units in the market and they would contribute supply at the affordable end of the spectrum. Allowing builders a free hand to add supply at the top end of the market does add supply, but doesn't directly address affordability. Accessory dwellings suffer from a few problems. There are not that many of them and many lenders and appraisers have a hard time valuing them. There are countless stories of lenders undervaluing them and requiring owners to bring a lot more cash to the table when funding these improvements. The cost of these units are often disproportionately high when compared with the cost of new construction to high volume builders. Coach houses are not new. But they are new in the zoning code in many cities as they try to create incentives for affordable housing. The latest startup venture to make headlines is called Samara and was started by Joe Gebbia, co-founder of AirBnb. The Samara product is a modular build that can be assembled quickly on the site of a tiny backyard home. The focus initially is California. ---------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

The Land Bank introduced a three-year, R1.95 billion blended finance program on Monday. The bank introduced the blended finance program in 2018 but later experienced financial difficulties, entering debt default in April 2020, following which they temporarily stopped providing loans. The Land Bank, a state-owned institution, resumed financing on Monday – a blended finance program that will invest R1.95 billion over the next three years in helping new farmers become profitable. Ms Thoko Didiza Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development launched an R3.2 billion blended finance program with Land Bank to help farmers. According to Didiza, the department and Land Bank have each committed R325 million per year, effectively developing an R650 million fund. By the third year, the fund will have reached R1.95 billion. Duncan Masiwa, Head of News at Food for Mzansi, spoke with Radio Islam International on the R3.2 billion Blended Finance Scheme intended to help farmers, particularly black farmers.

This week's episode of the Clear Admit MBA Admissions podcast kicks off with a review of the upcoming admissions deadlines, including R1 interview invites for UPenn / Wharton and Duke / Fuqua.  Your hosts also discuss the wave of Early Action decisions out of Darden and Fuqua. Graham then highlighted the Real Humans pieces for Vanderbilt / Owen and Ohio State / Fisher as well as a recent adcom Q&A with Fuqua' Shari Hubert, noting that half their incoming class receives some form of merit-based scholarship. Graham also presented NYU / Stern's recently released employment report, which includes huge average starting salaries; Alex suggested that the large number of finance placements and the school's New York City location must be at least partially responsible for these impressive figures. Graham highlighted an upcoming webinar on Wednesday, focused on whether or not to take a test (GMAT/GRE vs. waiver); signups are here: https://bit.ly/testornotest. Graham also highlighted Clear Admit's upcoming Deferred Enrolment event; signups are here: https://bit.ly/defermba As usual, this episode features three real candidate profile reviews; coming from both LiveWire and ApplyWire entries. First up, Alex selects a candidate who was denied admission at Columbia ED, following their alumni interview. They have a very strong GMAT, work in MBB consulting, and are from South Africa. Based on the limited information shared by this candidate, the decision appeared surprising, so Alex and Graham discussed some of the possible reasons. Your hosts also encouraged the candidate to not loose focus, and to continue applying to top programs in Round 2.  This week's second candidate has charted a path from Colorado to Philadelphia (UPenn undergrad) to London where she is working for a large sports team, in human resources. Alex and Graham really like her profile, and think with the less traditional career path, she may be an appealing candidate for top programs, despite her numbers not jumping off the page (they are certainly near the averages at leading MBA programs). She also has a great post-MBA plan. The final candidate for this episode is a faculty member of economics at a university in India. They now want to transition into the business world. Alex and Graham wonder if they might be better off applying next season, with a more concrete plan... This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the immensely talented Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia. Thanks so much for tuning in to the show. Please remember to rate, review, and share the Clear Admit MBA Admissions podcast! Best of luck to all who are currently applying to business school...

October 17, 2022 — The City of Ukiah and a private developer spoke to a citizens group last week about a variety of plans to increase housing stock in the Ukiah Valley. Plans for a housing project on 171 lots at the south end of town are getting closer to breaking ground. And the city is updating its general plan for 2040, with an eye toward land use, infrastructure, and agriculture, among other elements. A new state law and a focus on accessory dwelling units are meant to make it easier and more affordable to build more housing within city limits. Jesse Davis, Planning Manager with the City of Ukiah, and Jake Morley, a developer with Guillen Construction, spoke about their work at a meeting of the inland Mendocino County Housing Action Team on Thursday morning. The proposed project, Bella Vista, has been under consideration in one form or another for about a decade. It is a modification to a proposed subdivision formerly called Gardens Gate, a nearly fifty-acre property just outside Ukiah city limits, on South State Street. A map of the proposal shows that it is centered between Gobalet Lane and Plant Road, and extends west near Oak Knoll Road and Oak Court. The lot sizes range from about 3,500 square feet to just over 18,000 square feet. The plan includes four point four acres of open space, and a roundabout at South State Street and Plant Road. It is in the Willow County Water District. Jake Morley calls himself the “paper project manager” for Guillen Construction, which means he's been coordinating the studies and other preparatory materials for the development agreement with the county. He said 39 of the 171 lots will be age-restricted to people 55 years old or older; and that ten percent of the balance of the lots will be dedicated to moderate-income housing. He said the homes for seniors will be between a thousand and 1250 square feet, with extra wide hallways and bathrooms, and the larger homes will be between 1400 and 1800 square feet, to accommodate more residents. He said Guillen has been working through the studies for the project for the last three years, and “we're hoping to be before the (Mendocino County) Planning Commission by the end of the year, and Board of Supervisors by the start of the year. Then off to PG&E to go through their process, and start moving dirt, hopefully in spring or the end of summer of the following year.” Morley said he couldn't predict exactly how much the homes will cost, as the costs of building fluctuate, but said he expects them to be affordable for people in the community. Morley added that Guillen Construction was planning another subdivision called Vineyard Crossing, just north of Ukiah, but, “we're giving it a long, hard look right now…that fragmentation of water doesn't really lend to making sure we have a project. So that's kind of where that sits right now.” In addition to updating the general plan, the city is working to consolidate the water districts in the Ukiah Valley and update the city's “sphere of influence,” the areas on the edges of town where it can provide various services and annex land. The city is not planning to annex the Bella Vista property at this time. Davis, the planning manager, hopes the items about water district consolidation and the sphere of influence will be ready to bring to the CIty of Ukiah Planning Commission in more detail on October 26, next Wednesday. Davis focused on smaller-scale approaches to building more housing within the city, to fill what he calls the “missing middle.” This includes accessory dwelling units, cottage court developments (defined as a group of small homes “arranged around a shared court visible from the street”); duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and other kinds of second units. “And that's where we see the potential for infill to really be expanded in the city of Ukiah,” Davis said. He added that the city has three pre-designed sets of plans for accessory dwelling units, which are supposed to help homebuilders cut down on the costs of adding a living space to a property. The plans didn't generate much interest when they were first introduced, but in the last year, Davis reported, “We now have two developments that are utilizing those plan sets to help expedite the plan review and move projects forward, here in Ukiah.” A new state law, SB9, is another strategy that is supposed to increase residential developments. Davis explained that SB9 allows R1, or small residential properties, to be subdivided to accommodate four residential units, in a number of combinations. The city is using SB9 to allow a property owner to build an accessory dwelling unit on a lot that already has three units, which, prior the law's passage last year, was a non-conforming usage for the city's R1 code. The law has a number of restrictions, including a requirement that the owner live on-site, and a prohibition on short-term rentals. “It's a very extensive law, that a lot of jurisdictions are still feeling out, including the county,” concluded Davis, a former county planner. “Because, as these laws are passed in Sacramento, they have to be means-tested by the local jurisdiction, to see how they are applied.” If you'd like to review the current draft of Ukiah's general plan, you can visit City Hall at 300 Seminary Avenue, or visit ukiah2040.com.

Chris: To start us off, why do you think OSS and the software supply chain are now beginning to get so much attention, despite being widely used for years now?Chris: When it comes to OSS, any thoughts on how we balance security while also not stifling the innovative creative environment that is the OSS ecosystem?Nikki: On one of your recent podcast episodes, you discussed how open source can be unfair, whether that's to users or to developers. Can you break that down a little bit for our audience?Nikki: I think there are a lot of valuable lessons from the past that inform future trends. What would you say some of the top emerging trends are around open-source software - what should we be concerned about today versus a year from now?Chris: What are your thoughts on the current state of Vulnerability Databases, we know you have some strong opinions and have been involved in an effort titled the Global Security Database with CSA - can you tell us a bit about that and why it is needed?Chris: Do you think the emerging frameworks such as NIST 800 161 R1, SSDF, SLSA etc. are going in the right direction?Chris: We couldn't let you go without discussing SBOM. What are your thoughts on the current state and direction of both SBOM and VEX. Do you think this increased level of transparency and granularity of vulnerabilities will be something most organizations can manage successfully?Nikki: You have 341 episodes of your podcast - can you talk a little bit about why you wanted to get into podcasting? And also if you have any tips or advice for anyone who wants to start their own podcast?Nikki: One of the major areas I don't hear being discussed around open source software is the 'human factor'. I see the integration of open source software as alleviating some of the mental workloads and information processing for developers and teams, but may also introduce other concerns. How do you feel about the human factor around OSS?

We're joined by Dr. Gary Wagner, Acadiana Business Economist and Endowed Chair at UL- Lafayette B.I. Moody III College of Business Administration. This is Dr. Wagner's second interview, the first having been conducted in March of 2020, right before the pandemic shut down things for a while and threw the employment market a curve ball unlike any other. The pandemic recession was historic. Dr. Wagner always tracks economic data and was taken aback by the number of job losses we saw in a short period of time, saying, "It was like nothing we had seen in 80 to 100 years." Thankfully, the U. S. has regained all the jobs that were lost. Lafayette has done very well in the past six months compared to the rest of Louisiana, with many job gains in the healthcare sector. The oil and gas sector has not lost jobs but is still hovering at about 13,000, where we were at the end of 2014 when the bottom fell out of the market. With oil and gas still being the highest-paying job field in Louisiana, the state of this industry is of crucial concern. Dr. Wagner reflected on the mid-1980s when the energy industry peaked and constituted one-third of Louisiana's economy; 33 cents of every dollar earned at that time was tied to oil and gas. Today, it's 1%. In Dr. Wagner's view, "We're now seeing the consequences of antiquated tax policies put in place decades ago which are not conducive to attracting business. By historically relying upon oil and gas production as a captive resource with our tax system built around that commodity," we can expect stagnant business conditions. Southern states tend to rely upon sales taxes rather than property taxes, which in Dr. Wagner's view is a less stable and regressive way to tax citizens. He prefers to see a property tax as the main source of revenue as it is more stable and less impactful on lower-income individuals who end up spending a bigger chunk of their income on taxes when they purchase basic commodities. Healthcare is driving job growth in Acadiana and is our top employer along with education, with 20% of our jobs coming from these two sectors. Six percent of our local economy is oil and gas related. Wagner noted that our region recovered very quickly after the hit it took in late 2014. "It says a lot about our people as not many regions have bounced back after such a blow to their economies." With UL-Lafayette now being designated as a Carnegie R1 university (top-tier research institution), Lafayette and the surrounding region have much to celebrate. Dr. Wagner said this recognition will attract talented people and not just academics who want to work for UL. Lafayette will be viewed as a hub for creativity, talent, and innovation. Innovation is what drives a region. Other metro areas that have R1 universities, such as Austin, Columbus OH, and Raleigh/Durham, have all grown exponentially and are known for attracting talent. He noted that he could think of only two thriving metro areas that don't have R1 universities: Boise, Idaho has Hewlett Packard and attracts top talent; and Rochester, Minnesota has the Mayo Clinic and is a medical hub. "Lafayette is a great place to live with a great university. I've worked at other R1 universities and I've never seen in other places the connection that our people have here to the university such as UL does. The community support for UL-Lafayette is amazing. And what a great place to live! People can work remotely anywhere now and have options as to where they can live. We have a very unique culture compared to the rest of the country and could become a bedroom community for Houston. We can capitalize on our quality of life." Inflation is the biggest problem we're facing today. He doesn't predict much growth into next year due to inflation. While people saved at record levels during the early stage of the pandemic due to uncertainty about the future, the stimulus package spurred spending at high levels,

This week's podcast kicks off with a discussion of the recently released class profiles for UCLA / Anderson and Cornell / Johnson. Both programs showcase impressive incoming students and stats overall, but there are some notable trends to observe around application volume and an uptick in the percentage of international students at these US-based programs. This potentially leads to a downward pressure on gender diversity, as the international pool traditionally has fewer women (as a percentage) than the domestic pool. Alex noted the fast-approaching R1 deadlines for this season, and Graham highlighted the Adcom Q&As that were recently published for Washington / Foster, Maryland / Smith, Ohio State / Fisher, SMU / Cox, Boston College / Carroll, Manchester / Alliance and IMD. Graham also highlighted our recent Real Humans Alumni event, which included alums working at Deloitte, Disney, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and BCG. Graham then pitched the upcoming essay workshop series, which includes three events on September 14, September 21 and September 28. And finally, Graham and Alex also chatted about the upcoming private webinar for Clear Admit+ members, slated for August 29th.  You can join CA+ and the webinar here: https://www.clearadmit.com/clearadmit-plus-members/ As always, this episode features in-depth breakdowns of three candidacies - all from ApplyWire this week: First up, Alex chooses an Indian candidate who worked in investment banking before building an EdTech startup with $1m in revenue to date and some substantial impact. With a rather unorthodox 10 years of work experience, they are seeking a top FT MBA program in the U.S., but have not yet taken the GMAT. Although there are several challenges to consider, Alex and Graham suggest that targeting the first rounds would be helpful, if the candidate can (move up the GMAT), spreading their list of target programs will also help (MIT / Sloan has a deadline of September 29). This week's second candidate has a super GMAT, strong engineering academics, and what appears to be strong work experience in the Aerospace and Defense industry. This led to a discussion on their gender, and if and why that might matter; Alex thinks they should also target Stanford. This week's third candidate is an enlisted Army linguist working in the intelligence field. They also have a super GMAT. We think they might adjust their target programs a little, and perhaps fine-tune their goals, but potentially there is a lot to like. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by Dennis Crowley in Illadelphia, home of the potentially wild-card bound Phillies. Thanks for reading this far, and for joining us!
