Jeff Abraham didn't set out to build a sexual wellness company. He was a semiconductor engineer from a coal mining town in Pennsylvania who sold his business, retired, and got a call from his neighbor, Dr. Ronald Gilbert, the urologist who invented Promescent's delay spray. One conversation, one product sample, and one phone call later, Jeff was all in. What followed was fifteen years of building one of the most respected sexual wellness brands in the world with over 5 million bottles sold, more than 4,000 healthcare professionals recommending the product, and a mission that Jeff describes simply as helping people. Along the way, he lost his closest friend to an act of senseless violence. And he decided the best thing he could do with that grief was give Dr. Gilbert the legacy he deserved. In this episode, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with Jeff for one of the most candid and practically useful conversations about male sexual functioning you'll find anywhere. They dig into the clinical reality of premature ejaculation, the difference between clinical PE and the much larger group of men who simply want better intimacy. Why 75% of women don't orgasm from intercourse alone, and what that means for couples. Why men who struggle with PE often stop initiating sex entirely, and the spiral that follows. How shame, not physiology, is usually the most dangerous factor in the room. And why Jeff's answer to "what's the best thing you can do for better intimacy?" is still, always, communication. They also talk about the rise of male masturbatory devices, why younger men are increasingly choosing not to pursue partners at all, the engineering logic behind Promescent's patented eutectic formula, and how to "put one in the bank" before intercourse if anxiety is running the show. This is a conversation for men who have quietly stepped back from intimacy because of shame and for the partners who don't understand why. Jeff is warm, irreverent, deeply informed, and completely unafraid to say the thing most people in this space are dancing around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Katie Gold and Dave Combs from Cornell University join Fritz to unpack one of the most confusing topics facing winegrape growers today: how biological fungicides truly fit into a spray program. Katie explains how the Cornell grape pathology program has expanded rapidly, moving from strictly conventional efficacy trials into extensive work with biologicals as more of these products come out of R&D pipelines. She outlines why growers can't rely on "the next new conventional" anymore and how biologicals are becoming essential tools for sustainable disease management and resistance stewardship. Dave brings decades of field experience and shares how his initial skepticism about biologicals shifted after seeing modern products perform on highly disease‑prone varieties in one of the toughest vineyards for powdery mildew, downy mildew, black rot, and bunch rots. Together, they walk through what "compatibility" really means and why water pH, formulation, and whether an organism is alive or dead matter far more than many growers realize. Listeners learn why mixing biologicals and conventionals in the same tank often provides no added control (and may waste money), where negative interactions can show up, and why tightening intervals and understanding infection periods is critical when working with protectant biologicals.  In this episode, you will hear: Why more new products in the pipeline are biologicals rather than conventional chemistries How Cornell's high‑pressure pathology vineyard reveals the real-world limits and strengths of biologicals Why many biologicals are strictly protectants and must be applied before significant disease is present How tank mixing biologicals with conventionals can reduce cost-effectiveness without improving control Why understanding water chemistry, pH, and product formulation is now an essential spray-program strategy Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Advancing Precision Weed Management in Turfgrass Systems with Machine Vision-Guided Targeted Spraying” Written by Brooke Heikkila – Graduate Research Assistant Navdeep Godara – Assistant Professor of Turfgrass & Forage Weed Science, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, North Carolina State University and Pawel Petelewicz – Assistant Professor of Turfgrass Weed Science, University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Agronomy Department Turfgrass managers are facing increasing weed challenges due to evolving regulatory framework and growing incidence of herbicide-resistant weeds. The release of the first turfgrass-specific commercial machine vision-guided sprayer (ALBA, Ecorobotix Inc.) enables automated and localized herbicide applications in turf. Although often referred to as “spot spraying” in marketing materials, “targeted spraying” is a more accurate description as it distinguishes this system from manual spot treatments and other existing precision weed management approaches. Such targeted application systems have already been successfully deployed in other crops using platforms such as the John Deere See and Spray, Agritech America WEED-IT, Verdant Robotics Sharp Shooter, Ecorobotix ARA. Using See and Spray technology, comparable weed control was observed between the broadcast and targeted spraying methods, but the targeted spraying reduced the treated acreage by up to two-thirds. In turfgrass, this technology not only offers significant herbicide savings but also opens the door for practitioners to combat herbicide-resistant weeds by incorporating alternative chemistries, including nonselective herbicides or herbicide tank mixtures combining multiple modes-of-action which are not typically feasible in broadcast applications. Overall, spot spraying is not a new concept, as many turfgrass managers already employ it to control weed escapes following broadcast herbicide applications or where selective chemistries are not an option. Manual spot spraying involves individuals walking the golf course or other turfgrass areas with a sprayer loaded with herbicide to make localized applications directly to weeds. Traditional spot spraying is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and requires applicators to accurately identify weeds, necessitating additional training and expertise. It ultimately increases application costs and is also prone to human error, often resulting in overapplication and missed weeds. However, targeted spraying systems such as ALBA, utilize artificial intelligence combined with machine vision to detect problematic weeds within turfgrass canopy in real-time to apply herbicides only to those small areas where individual weeds are present. ALBA is a tractor pull-behind unit that can operate at speeds up to 4.5 miles per hour and uses an enclosure to block ambient light and to create consistent lighting conditions to continuously scan the turfgrass canopy with its cameras to detect weeds. When a weed is spotted, an individual nozzle – one out of 108 – activates to directly target the weed with a 1.2 × 1.2-inch spray resolution per nozzle. As targeted application systems continue to advance and competing platforms emerge, it is critical to understand how to effectively integrate and leverage these sprayers within turfgrass weed management programs. Several preliminary field experiments using ALBA and its ARA-based predecessor research platform were conducted by the NC State Turfgrass Weed Science Program and the UF/IFAS Turfgrass Weed Science Program to understand the applications of this technology. Preliminary studies showed that machine-vision guided targeted spraying substantially reduces herbicide usage and treated acreage while maintaining weed control efficacy, offering both economic and environmental benefits while targeting wide variety of problematic weeds with high accuracy. Reduction in Herbicide Volume Used – In a study focused on controlling false-green kyllinga in bermudagrass fairways, machine vision-guided targeted spraying with ALBA reduced herbicide spray volume by 77% compared to broadcast treatments. False green kyllinga cover was 17% at the experimental sites during study initiation, triggering significant savings due to the weed-specific, localized targeted treatments compared to broadcast herbicide applications. Broadcast applications of standard kyllinga control products typically cost around $190 to $240 per acre, but targeted treatment can lower the cost by more than $145 per acre even when dealing with moderate level of weed infestation (~15% weed cover). Similarly, in another ongoing study, when annual bluegrass weed cover was 10% in bermudagrass fairways, targeted applications achieved a 66% reduction in herbicide spray volume compared to conventional broadcast treatments. Sulfonylurea herbicides for postemergence control of annual bluegrass cost around $140 to $185 per acre and targeted spraying can reduce the cost by at least $92 per acre when weed cover is 10% or less. Practitioners can expect greater savings at turfgrass sites with lower weed infestations, which are typical of intensively managed surfaces and when applying expensive herbicides such as PoaCure or organic herbicides during winter dormancy of warm-season turfgrasses. Targeted application system was also evaluated for control of broadleaf weeds, dallisgrass, smooth crabgrass, and tropical signalgrass in studies conducted independently or in collaboration between Mississippi State University, NCSU, Virginia Tech and UF IFAS, and observed a 53% to 95% reduction in spray volume. In all the aforementioned cases, weed control levels achieved with targeted spraying were no different from broadcast applications. Thus, these studies demonstrate that, across various problematic weed species, this novel application system can substantially reduce the herbicide volume required, lowering costs without compromising weed control efficacy. Lower Treated Acreage – During broadcast herbicide applications, substantial areas without weeds are often treated unnecessarily. Targeted applications can reduce the treated acreage, enabling practitioners to use herbicides such as MSMA, which are currently restricted to spot treatments on less than 25% of the total golf course acreage per year. Targeted spraying systems are particularly useful for herbicides with limited or no residual activity, as it allows localized treatments to weed instead of broadcast applications to turfgrass. Targeted spraying for false-green kyllinga control (17% weed cover) in bermudagrass fairways resulted in 85% reduction in treated acreage compared to broadcast spraying. In a similar study, an 80% reduction in treated acreage was found when only treating annual bluegrass in dormant bermudagrass at 10% weed cover. A study conducted by UF/IFAS Turfgrass Weed Science Program using circular, non-overlapping targets of varying patch sizes (4-10 cm diameter) to simulate random different weed densities and dispersions within the 1-20%, 21-40%, and 41-60% coverage, indicated total spray deposition of approximately 40%, 64%, and 74%, respectively. This corresponded to estimated herbicide savings of 60%, 36%, and 26%. Spray deposition increased with rising weed pressure, while the non-sprayed area, directly reflecting herbicide savings declined accordingly. These results confirm that variation in herbicide savings with targeted applications is driven primarily by weed density, with dispersion playing a secondary role, exerting stronger effects at low weed densities but negligible influence at higher densities. The reduction in treated acreage can potentially diminish the environmental impact of herbicides by minimizing overall pesticide load released into the environment, limiting off-target movement, reducing the risk of groundwater contamination, and lowering the risk of human exposure associated with pesticide applications. Targeted approaches permit treatment to a limited portion of turf, enabling the effective use of chemistries with area-use limitations. Effective reduction in area treated with targeted spraying will become increasingly important as new regulations come into effect, particularly in the context of upcoming Endangered Species Act-imposed changes. Therefore, research projects funded by the Turfgrass Council of North Carolina will focus on investigating the agronomic and environmental benefits of targeted application systems for managing problematic weed species. Alternative Herbicide Options for Resistance Management – Targeted spraying also enables selectivity at the sprayer level rather than relying only on selectivity of the herbicide used. This potentially allows turf managers to use nonselective herbicides that were previously not an option for broadcast treatment due to severe injury to actively growing turfgrasses. Broad spectrum herbicides like glyphosate, glufosinate, or flumioxazin are highly effective against a wide variety of weeds, but practitioners often wait for turfgrass to go dormant before spraying nonselective herbicides, while in some geographies, such as Florida, achieving full dormancy is not even possible. However, with this new technology, practitioners will have the option to incorporate nonselective herbicides year-round with minimal collateral damage to turfgrass. Glyphosate (Roundup Pro Concentrate) applied via broadcast application at 12 fluid ounces per acre rate reduced bermudagrass green cover significantly, but targeted spraying had similar level of green cover as nontreated plots as documented in our recent study. Likewise, glufosinate applied at 41 fluid ounces per acre (as Finale XL T&O) reduced bermudagrass cover drastically after broadcast application but had minimal effect on turfgrass after targeted spraying. Targeted spraying technology also allows use of novel admixtures that are not currently being used during regular turfgrass maintenance. Rotating or tank mixing herbicide from different modes of action are crucial for sustainable turfgrass management, as selection pressure for herbicide resistance continues to increase. For instance, practitioners can use tank mixtures of herbicides like pyridate + sulfentrazone or bentazon + halosulfuron + sulfentrazone for targeted spraying without compromising efficacy on false-green kyllinga. These novel admixtures contain multiple modes of action in a single application that could reduce selection pressure and combat herbicide-resistant kyllinga. Similar admixtures should be explored for the management of other herbicide-resistant or difficult-to-control weeds. Limitations – Like with any new technologies, there are limitations to consider when adopting a machine vision-guided sprayer. Currently, only one commercial unit (ALBA by Ecorobotix Inc.) is available, providing managers with a single option for this turfgrass-specific targeted spraying technology. Additional machine vision-guided sprayers need to be developed specifically for turfgrass systems, as interest in these technologies among turfgrass managers continues to grow and the needs across different turfgrass industry segments will vary. The cost of the equipment and the annual model subscription will be a major barrier for many turfgrass managers. Offering incentives, such as reduced subscription fees for the first few years, could help increase adoption of this technology. Alternatively, with ALBA being an example of a high-end solution maximizing performance and system sophistication, other developers may consider trade-offs to reduce equipment production and maintenance costs to improve accessibility. Although ALBA seems to demonstrate high detection accuracy on key problematic weeds, further research is needed to understand its year-round performance, considering changes in visual characteristics of weeds and turfgrass across growth stages and under varying environmental contexts. In our preliminary work, a few false positives occasionally led to herbicide applications to weed-free turfgrass. Also, we observed that in situations where weed presence (particularly grassy weeds) in the camera's path exceeded that of turfgrass, the detection system became confused, effectively reversing target and background and treating turfgrass instead of the weed. However, developers are actively addressing these shortcomings and performance of targeted applications systems by continuing to improve imagery databases, training and validation across diverse geographical regions and management contexts. There is no doubt that machine vision-guided sprayers will have a transformative impact on the turfgrass industry, however, extension efforts will be critical for adoption. Also, as this technology is still novel for turfgrass systems, ongoing research and development is critical to improve performance, reliability, and to meet industry needs. Among others, further research is needed to evaluate performance under varying travel speeds, expand applications to targeted residual treatments, and refine application thresholds to maximize herbicide savings.

Four Dunedin students from Taieri College have the answer to those hideously cold mornings where your car windscreen is frosted over. The group of year 13 students have invented a potato-based anti-frost spray 'Winter Warrior' for the Young Enterprise competition. Ollie Mcfelin is one of the Winter Warrior architects and spoke with Lisa Owen.

When does it make sense to invest in spray-up GFRC equipment? And when can smaller equipment get you the same result? In this episode of The Concrete Podcast, Joe Bates of SC Fabrication shares his experience with spray-up GFRC, production efficiency, equipment upgrades, business growth, and the realities of scaling a concrete fabrication shop. We talk about the differences between spray-up GFRC and SCC GFRC, when larger equipment becomes financially viable, how to get started with more modest equipment, and the production bottlenecks that often hold shops back from growth. Joe also shares practical insights on workflow, efficiency, and making equipment investments that actually improve profitability. We also discuss ICT Protect and ICT Fusion, when to use each sealer, how to select the right system for different applications, and the steps makers can take to reduce callbacks while improving long-term performance. Whether you're creating concrete sinks, countertops, furniture, architectural concrete, or decorative concrete products, this episode is packed with real-world lessons that can help you improve quality, increase efficiency, and build a stronger business. Follow The Concrete Podcast for more conversations about concrete fabrication, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and creating a better life through making. #ConcretePodcast #GFRC #ConcreteCountertops #ConcreteFurniture #DecorativeConcrete #ConcreteArtisan #SmallBusinessGrowth #Craftsmanship #Entrepreneurship #MakerMovement

A manufacturing defect may be to blame for an issue potentially impacting some 88,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles.Reports suggest that removing the dipsticks to check the motorcycles' oil has been linked to a nasty surprise – spraying oil.According to the NHTSA, the issue stems from a design problem where bikes equipped with an airbox baseplate have a breather port that may be blocked. This allows pressure to build up inside the crankcase with nowhere to go – until the pressure is released after the dipstick is withdrawn. Carscoops described it as “akin to shaking up a bottle of coke and then uncapping the lid.”The Wisconsin-based company has recalled nine different models for this possible issue and is also reportedly aware of an incident where a dealer technician was injured by spraying oil while working on one of its bikes.The quickest fix is related to awareness; if technicians and bike owners can release the built up pressure slowly, they can prevent the “coke bottle” effect from occurring. Even better, owners of the motorcycle should bring in their recalled bike for a free repair of the blockage, if necessary.Carscoops says Harley's own investigation uncovered 192 reports involving blocked breather ports. Of these, just over a dozen resulted in the oil discharge. Harley's North American sales rose 14% in Q1 of 2026, with CEO Artie Starrs saying the company was "pleased" with the results. Still, the company's profits plunged 81% year over year, an outcome attributed to tariff costs, higher sales incentives, and unfavorable product mix. Last month, Harley also unveiled a new strategic plan - "Back to Bricks" - with the goal of adding more affordable models, gaining market share and improving its operating efficiency.#HarleyDavidson, #MotorcycleRecall, #Motorcycles, #Manufacturing, #ManufacturingNews, #IndustrialNews, #Recall, #ProductSafety, #QualityControl, #NHTSA, #Powersports, #MotorcycleLife, #Engineering, #FactoryNews, #IndustryNews

A customer recently asked me a great question: "Is Tough As Shell still worth using if I take my car through a soft-touch automatic car wash?" He had just bought a brand new dark jade green Kia Telluride, parks outside, does not have a garage or carport, and uses a commercial soft-touch car wash two or three times a month. So in this video, I'm answering that question honestly. Does a car wash remove ceramic spray? Is ceramic spray still worth it if you use automatic car washes? How often should you reapply protection if your car sits outside? And what is the best way to protect a new car when real life gets in the way? The truth is, products like Tough As Shell are not force fields. They will not make your paint scratch-proof or maintenance-free. But they do add a real layer of protection that helps with water beading, easier cleaning, UV exposure, gloss, and keeping your paint looking better over time. If you use a soft-touch car wash regularly, you may need to refresh your protection more often. But that does not make ceramic spray pointless. In fact, for many people, an easy-to-use ceramic spray is one of the most realistic ways to keep a daily driver protected.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. Feel the light mist and soft spray of a gentle waterfall all around you. These soothing water sounds create a calming environment for deep sleep, meditation, and stress relief. Let the delicate rhythm guide you into stillness. Love,

This time of year, the boys are typically talking fishing non-stop. Unfortunately, this week, they were talking about the weather – and the significant lack of fish. They were thankful for the rain, of course, but the combination of conditions was making everything tough. The Old School Kingfish Shootout is on the horizon, and birthday boy Paul Dozier called in to hype it up (like it needs any hype, right?). After that, the conversation shifted to the “interesting” fishing conditions and left everyone asking where the fish were. Ed Malin also called in during the episode to talk about his tournament, the Kingfish Shootout. Now if you’ve been listening for a while, and you’ve heard Ed call in, you know there’s no telling where things are going to go. This time is no different, so buckle up, sit back and enjoy the ride! The guys’ conversation went all over the place, and even went sideways on them when it rolled into hog “delicacies”…don’t ask. Listen, but don’t ask. Here's your L.V. Hiers Inc gear tip of the week from one of our listeners John Jackson: He picked up Extra Tough Cleaner/Degreaser at the Hagan Ace Hardware Christmas Special in Callahan this past year, but hadn’t used it. Fast forward to now – love bug season is upon us and it worked like a charm! Spray on, let is sit for a minute and then wipe them away. Here's your Ring Power Cat tip of the week: AFW SurfStrand 7-strand leader/trolling wire has been showcased as a tip before, but it’s worth sharing again, because so many anglers still use hard wire for king fishing. If you want to cut your tying time by a quarter and save your fingers you need to try this wire!

Tom Wolf opened with the frame that carried the session: doing the right thing at the right time. Take away the right time part and the right thing is irrelevant. Spraying has changed dramatically -- operators who used to make two passes a year now make three to five, and the equipment cost running at roughly $400 an hour means every minute away from spraying is measurable. The first section covered water quality, built around five numbers from a standard water test. Darren Sander opened with the operator's version of the lesson: Crop-Aid's farm pulls from a cold well at 1,200 TDS, so they tank it into black poly storage and spray from the warmest tank first. Cold water hurts efficacy -- especially glufosinate. Tom then walked through pH (most mixes fine; what matters is the final mix pH, not source pH), TDS and conductivity (under 500 is clean; most Prairie wells come in over 1,000; the number tells you whether to look further), bicarbonates (500 ppm is the threshold; above it, ammonium sulfate is the most versatile fix), total hardness (calcium carbonate equivalent; Jeff Bennett's water had very low hardness but elevated sodium, which still antagonizes glyphosate and glufosinate), and turbidity (aluminum sulfate as a flocculant for dugouts; stir and leave 24 to 48 hours). Jeff's live water test from Agvise became the worked example. Tom's verdict: low hardness, elevated sodium, ammonium sulfate recommended. The coverage section opened with a number that reframed the whole conversation: according to a Mesonet researcher in North Dakota, 100 percent of nights in the state experience thermal inversions. Some are worse than others, but the baseline is total. Under an inversion, fine droplets go where they want -- downhill if there is topography, anywhere if there is not. Tom's prescription: start on the downwind side of the field, spray perpendicular to the wind, turn into the headwind on every pass. Never spray down and then back against the wind. The droplet size discussion followed: coarser nozzles, deployed early in Canada before most countries, allowed operators to spray in slightly windier conditions without adding drift risk. Air induction tips are the go-to for general spraying. Spray pressure -- as low as 30 psi for AI tips -- adjusts droplet size one category in either direction. Water sensitive paper laid on the ground is the cheapest coverage check available. On water volume, Tom's position was direct: more is better. Complex tank mixes behave better with more water. More water allows coarser droplets without losing coverage. Later-season applications -- PGRs, fungicides, desiccants -- want 10 to 15 gallons per acre. Cutting back on water to improve logistics is a trade with a real cost. The logistics section brought Jay Peterson into the conversation. He runs a 1,600-gallon machine with a 120-foot boom and a dedicated water truck driver. His fill times on easy mixes: seven to nine minutes on three-inch plumbing. Complex mixes with dry products that need to hydrate: 15 minutes. Tom confirmed those numbers are right. The tendering revolution changed spraying fundamentally: a 30-minute fill is now a five-minute fill, which means filling is the stressful moment and spraying is the calm one. Continuous rinsing systems collapsed a three-quarter-hour triple rinse down to five minutes. Tom's recommended exercise: when the sprayer engine is running, write down what you're doing if you're not spraying. Data entry, monitor troubleshooting, looking for a menu -- every one of those is a round you did not spray. The session closed on the same line it opened with: an important job is worth doing well. Key Topics The five water quality numbers: pH (final mix matters more than source), TDS/conductivity (500 clean threshold), bicarbonates (500 ppm action threshold), total hardness (calcium carbonate equivalent), turbidity (aluminum sulfate flocculant) Ammonium sulfate as the most versatile water conditioner -- binds hard water cations AND improves herbicide uptake Warm water and spray efficacy: glufosinate works significantly better with warm water; Darren Sander's black poly tank system Thermal inversions: 100% of nights in North Dakota are inverted; fine droplets go where they want under inversion Spray direction strategy: downwind start, perpendicular to wind, headwind turns on every pass Coarser nozzles and Canada's early adoption: air induction tips as the go-to for general spraying; pressure adjusts droplet size Water volume: why cutting back hurts complex tank mixes, coverage flexibility, and late-season applications Sprayer logistics and the tendering revolution: three-inch plumbing, five-minute fills, continuous rinsing systems Time accounting: write down what you're doing when the engine is running but you're not spraying Foam management: turn off agitator while filling; Halt defoamer for high-salt tank mixes Resources Mentioned Sprayers 101 -- sprayers101.com (Tom Wolf, Dr. Jason DeVos) Crop-Aid Nutrition -- cropaidnutrition.com (Darren Sander) Spray Water Cheat Sheet -- Tom Wolf / Crop-Aid co-branded, distributed to all registrants Agvise Labs -- water testing (Jeff Bennett's water test source) ALS Labs, Saskatoon -- water testing Saskatchewan Research Council (Innovation Place, Saskatoon) -- water testing Nozzle Ninja, Stettler AB -- nozzle parts, mail order (nozzleninja.com) Agri Auto, Saskatoon -- nozzle parts, expanded store north end Water sensitive paper -- available at Agri Auto Saskatoon and Nozzle Ninja Halt defoamer -- high-salt tank mix defoamer (Darren Sander recommendation) Aluminum sulfate -- dugout turbidity flocculant; source via municipalities or water treatment suppliers ClearTech -- aluminum sulfate supplier (mentioned by Mike Green in chat) Connect Sprayers 101 -- sprayers101.com (click Tom Wolf name at bottom of page) Crop-Aid Nutrition -- cropaidnutrition.com growingthefuture.ca Register for the Convergence Conference at convergence.ag and stay updated by subscribing to the Growing the Future Podcast at growingthefuturepodcast.ca.

When it comes to bear safety, there is a debate on what is a better deterrent, bear spray or a gun. Stephanne and Daryl debate the pros and cons of each tool, and it appears to be much less of a debate after all.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, Corey sits down with Zach Smith (The Stock Cropper), James Epp, and Matt Boerman — better known as The Loeb Rangers — for a candid and in-depth conversation about the future of agriculture, conservation practices, and what farmers can do to improve profitability while protecting soil and water resources. The group shares how The Loeb Rangers started as a simple Snapchat conversation between frustrated farmers who wanted to discuss poor farming practices, erosion, nitrogen management, and conservation solutions happening across Iowa's Des Moines Loeb region. What began as a private peer group quickly evolved into a growing movement focused on honest conversations around agriculture, sustainability, and practical solutions that work at scale. The discussion covers: Strip-till and no-till systems Cover crop adoption and management Nitrogen timing and in-season application Water quality and nitrate concerns Soil erosion and long-term land stewardship Farm profitability through reduced input costs The economics behind regenerative agriculture Challenges with ag policy and regulation Spray drift and pesticide stewardship The role of leadership within agriculture How farmers can proactively avoid future regulation Why knowing your numbers matters more than ever The Loeb Rangers explain how they've implemented conservation systems on their own operations while still maintaining profitability and efficiency. They also discuss the realities of public perception, working with Des Moines Water Works, and why communication between farmers, consumers, and policymakers is critical moving forward. This episode is a raw, honest, and thought-provoking discussion about balancing production agriculture with long-term sustainability while keeping family farms profitable for future generations.

Discover the hard-earned wisdom of a 27-year insulation veteran who transitioned from a one-man operation to managing a massive Houston-based team. Carlos Bales shares why profitability in spray foam requires more than just pulling a trigger—it demands business savvy, strict maintenance, and a commitment to quality. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Carlos Bales with Payless Insulation. Carlos discusses the evolution of the Houston insulation market, reflecting on a time when energy standards were nearly non-existent and spray foam was a niche residential service. He explains the shift toward large-scale commercial projects and the complex web of regulations modern contractors must navigate, from specialized crawlspace certifications to the high financial stakes of floating commercial payroll. The conversation explores the "prima donna" nature of skilled sprayers and Carlos's preference for training new talent from the ground up to ensure they understand both the machine and the craft. Carlos also breaks down his philosophy on profitability, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a 16% to 22% net margin and explaining why he refuses to bargain on price with builders who prioritize volume over partnership. Inside this episode... 01:42 – Carlos's 27-year journey from starting in injection foam to becoming a Houston spray foam pioneer. 07:09 – Why a great installer needs the "wherewithal" to understand the machine, not just pull a trigger. 13:37 – The "bankruptcy line": Why 16% to 22% net margins are the benchmark for a healthy business. 20:38 – Selling the value: How to explain to customers that spray foam pays for itself through utility savings. 28:18 – The financial reality of commercial work and the necessity of "floating" massive project costs. 35:42 – Why equipment maintenance is the ultimate liability and why you should never work on your rig on a job site.

In episode 252, Coffey talks with Beverly Parker about how recruiting and talent acquisition are evolving and why relationship-based recruiting still matters.  They discuss the shift from newspaper job ads, to Monster, to today's AI-powered recruiting platforms; why “post and pray” or “post and spray” recruiting fails to attract high-quality passive candidates; how recruiters use professional networks to identify specialized talent faster; the growing impact of AI-generated resumes and fraudulent job applicants; why recruiters should avoid over-relying on AI resume filtering tools; strategies for sourcing passive candidates in competitive hiring markets; the value of agency recruiters for hard-to-fill and specialized positions; how employers can improve hiring processes during a frozen labor market; candidate expectations around compensation, flexibility, and work-life balance; why transparency about career growth opportunities improves retention and hiring outcomes; the increasing importance of training and development in workforce planning; how younger workers want meaningful work and stronger onboarding support; the importance of hiring for adaptability and learning agility instead of static skills; lessons from building recruiting functions inside growing organizations; and how long-term recruiter relationships create stronger organizational outcomes than transactional placements.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

Summary In this episode of the Essential Wellness Podcast, the panel explored doTERRA's "Beautiful Blend," often referred to as the oil of self-respect. Hosted by Aisha Harley alongside Ariana Harley,  Louise Rose ND, Mica Carew ND, LA.c, and Will Wan LA.c, the discussion examined the blend through physical, emotional, spiritual, and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspectives. The conversation highlighted the blend's key ingredients—osmanthus, lime, bergamot, and frankincense—and how they work together to support emotional balance, confidence, cellular health, and energetic alignment. The panel also discussed fragrance energetics, practical application techniques, and how scent can influence mood, self-worth, and emotional regulation. Listeners were also reminded that the Beautiful Blend body mist is being discontinued, making the current Timeless Trio Kit a limited-time opportunity.

This is episode 6 of The Broken Crow Podcast: notes from a hospice nurse. This is a work of fiction. 

The raid begins just after midnight on March 10, with napalm bombs designed to puncture roofs and spray flaming gel inside Tokyo's wooden homes. The resulting fires quickly meld into a catastrophic firestorm that consumes 16 square miles of the city. Survivors recount the horror of hurricane-force winds and a "tidal wave of fire" that causes people's clothing and hair to spontaneously ignite. Families who fled to primitive home shelters often died from the heat, while those in concrete communal shelters were incinerated when the glass windows melted, allowing superheated air and toxic gases to rush inside. The firestorm becomes its own weather system, overwhelming all traditional firefighting efforts and creating a vacuum that pulls in cold air to feed the inferno. Photographer Coyo Ishikawa documents the apocalypse, describing the phenomena as a wave crest approaching from the ocean as the fire devours the world's most densely populated districts. 6/81959 LEMAY
