//The Wire//2100Z July 22, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: IRANIAN TARGETING OF AMERICAN BASES REMAINS SIGNIFICANT. MISSILE THREAT ISSUED FOR LA GUARDIA LAST NIGHT, REPORT QUICKLY DEEMED NOT CREDIBLE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Kuwait: Strikes on American positions continue to degrade American capabilities. The logistical hub at Camp Doha in Kuwait City was struck overnight, along with possible strikes at the remote HIMARS launch sites in near the Iraqi border. Iran also claimed to have struck the AN/FPS-117 Early Warning radar array at Ahmed al-Jaber Airbase.Analyst Comment: Unlike all of the other strikes, this site cannot be independently verified or geolocated using current satellite imagery, so it might be a newly constructed site or the Iranians got the names of bases mixed up.Saudi Arabia: Iranian missile strikes were reported throughout the morning, with unknown success. The oil terminals at Yanbu as well as American positions at Prince Sultan Airbase were targeted, with unknown effect. Jordan: American positions continue to be struck at Muwaffaq al Salti Airbase, in the vicinity of the strike that killed 3x service members last week. In central Jordan, King Faisal Airbase was targeted as well, with satellite imagery confirming that as of this morning, one of the structures targeted was still on fire. Down south, the American positions at King Hussein International Airport were targeted, as the Iranians attempted to strike the American refueling aircraft that have been parked on the apron for several days. Israeli citizens across the border observed smoke over the mountain ridge in the vicinity of this airport.Analyst Comment: Now that the Iranians know that their targeting is effective at Muwaffaq, they will continue targeting the same location over and over again. Same with Tower 22, the far-flung base in Jordan's northeastern quadrant, where extensive damage has been noted. Also, the Iranians claim to have unveiled a comparatively new missile system during this wave of attacks; Iran used many of their low-grade missiles during the early days of the war, and now they are occasionally pulling out the newer missiles which have more advanced maneuverability during the terminal phases of the warhead's flight. This might be a contributing factor for why missile interceptions are completely non-existent during some attack waves.-HomeFront-New York: Last night, a security incident was reported at La Guardia after a MANPAD alert was issued for the airport. Port Authority Police alerted the tower regarding a threat they had received regarding the potential use of a shoulder-fired Surface-to-Air missile launcher being used to target a civilian airliner. The report was deemed to be not credible almost immediately afterwards, but the alert was still sent out over the radio to all aircraft in the vicinity.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Sometimes, a few seconds of radio traffic is very illuminating. Listening to the very brief radio exchange between the tower and a Delta flight explaining the issue in New York, perhaps the most telling and concerning detail is that La Guardia possibly has a "MANPAD alert" procedure now. From a counterterrorism perspective this is a good thing, but it's also very disconcerting that this contingency is something that is not only actively being planned for...but already has a procedure drawn up for it. Granted, there's not a whole lot that a commercial airline pilot can do with that information while trying to land, and the rather nonchalant affirmation that no issues have been reported "yet" is only slightly reassuring. But this does go to show that threats within the homeland don't take a break just because eastern Europe and the Middle East are on fire, and the threats to commercial aviation are always on the menu even if most of the concerns are not credible. However, it only takes one credible threat for a very bad day to occur, and this target vector is the epitome of the old counterterrorism saying: We have to be successful in defending ourselves every single time, but the terrorist has to succeed only once.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Our guest is Jarrett Fuller, a designer, writer, educator, and host of the long-running podcast Scratching the Surface, based in Raleigh, North Carolina.In this episode, Jarrett speaks with host Christian Solorzano about how conversation became the organizing principle of his creative life — from growing up surrounded by a large, talkative extended family, to a journalist grandfather who taught him the difference between a closed question and an open one. He reflects on ten years and nearly 300 episodes of Scratching the Surface, what he's learned about listening, and why the questions keep multiplying rather than resolving.Jarrett shares his evolving relationship to graphic design — how he still claims the title even as the work has shifted toward writing, teaching, and podcasting — and why he believes the field has always been more expansive than the industry gives it credit for. He talks about the tension between design as a commercial discipline and design as a cultural practice, the homogenization of aesthetics in the age of AI, and what it means to make work that actually moves someone.The conversation also explores Jarrett's photography — his interest in the friction between the natural world and the built environment, returning to the same places over time, and the design sensibility that shapes how he frames an image. And he gives a preview of his forthcoming book, Graphic Designers After Graphic Design, a celebration of designers around the world redefining what the field can be — due out September 29th.Music by the band Eighties Slang.

Send us Fan MailThe Truth About Pool Coatings, Surface Preparation, and Why Failures Really HappenEveryone wants to know which pool paint is the best.Wrong question.In this episode of Talking Pools, Rudy Stankowitz takes listeners far beyond the paint can and into the science of coating failures, adhesion, compatibility, moisture, and surface preparation. Using the recent attention surrounding the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as a jumping-off point, Rudy explains why nearly every coating failure investigation asks the same question:What happened before the paint ever touched the surface?From chlorinated rubber and acrylics to epoxy and high-build epoxy systems, this episode explores the strengths, weaknesses, and proper applications of today's most common swimming pool coating systems. More importantly, it explains why even the most expensive coating in the world can't overcome poor preparation.If you've ever wondered why one painted pool lasts fifteen years while another begins peeling after a single season, this episode connects the dots between chemistry, application, environmental conditions, and good old-fashioned craftsmanship. Along the way, Rudy shares real-world stories, practical advice, and plenty of his signature Gen X humor.Whether you're a pool service professional, contractor, facility manager, or simply fascinated by how coatings succeed—or fail—this is one of the most comprehensive discussions on swimming pool coatings ever presented on the Talking Pools Podcast. In This Episode Why asking "What's the best pool paint?" is the wrong question  The lessons every pool professional can learn from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool  Why compatibility between coating systems matters  Understanding chlorinated rubber, synthetic rubber, acrylic, epoxy, and high-build epoxy coatings  Why surface preparation determines the success or failure of almost every coating system  How to properly inspect an existing painted pool before recoating  The importance of documenting coating failures before disturbing the evidence  Mechanical adhesion vs. chemical adhesion explained in plain English  Why moisture remains one of the biggest enemies of successful coating applications  Proper cleaning, sanding, acid washing, and contamination removal  How silicone contamination, chalking, oils, and residue interfere with adhesion  Why weather, humidity, dew point, and curing conditions matter  Understanding recoat windows and why missing them creates problems  Common causes of blistering, peeling, and coating delamination  Adhesive failure vs. cohesive failure vs. substrate failure  ASTM testing methods used during professional coating failure investigations  Why coating failures should be investigated—not guessed Key Takeaways✔ The most expensive coating cannot overcome poor surface preparation.✔ Compatibility between existing and new coating systems is critical.✔ Surface contamination is often invisible but can completely prevent proper adhesion.✔ Moisture inside concrete can remain long after the surface appears dry.✔ Proper environmental conditions are just as important as choosing the right coating.✔ Good investigators document the failure before removing any evidence.✔ Most coating failures begin long before the pool is filled with water.✔ Successful coating jobs are built on preparation—not luck.Memorable Quotes"Surface preparation isn't part of the job. Surface preparation is the job.""Compatibility matters. Chemistry matters. Guessing doesn't.""Painting a pool isn't hard. Knowing when not to paint—that's what separates a guy with a roller from a pool professional."Featured SponsorsBlu-Ray XLReduce chemical usage, lower labor costs, and improve profitability with Blu-Ray XL's mineral purification technology for pool professionals. Jacks MagicProfessional stain identification, removal, and prevention products trusted throughout the pool industry. AquaStar Pool ProductsLearn about AquaStar's innovative Pipeline cartridge filters featuring NSF-tested performance and simplified maintenance. Service Industry NewsStay informed with nationwide pool and spa industry news, technical articles, and the famous Horror File.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga Pull up a chair and let's talk about something I've been exploring lately. It's the “depth of inquiry” that steers a nice essay into a memorable story. That sounds a bit academic, right? But here on Front Porch Friday© what it really means is the difference between just surviving your life, and actually understanding the truth of what you've lived through. Too often, as women, we get into the habit of just reporting the facts. We tell our stories like a laundry list of events. "I raised the kids, I worked the job, I did what was expected, and now I'm here." There's no story magic because you are missing. We do the same thing when we speak out loud to the world—we say what's polite, or what keeps the peace, instead of saying what we actually mean. Think about a moment where you had to say a hard "no" to someone, or maybe you finally picked up a hobby you abandoned years ago. The surface story is simple: "I was too busy for another commitment," or "I just wanted a new creative project." But looking deeper we feel the memorable story.  The truth is more than protecting your calendar or buying art supplies; you realized that your time and your passions don't belong to everyone else anymore. You decided that you are finally ready to be seen and heard exactly as you are, without adapting yourself so others feel comfortable. That shift right there? That is “depth of inquiry.” It's stopping the report and starting the investigation, the exciting archeological dig on your life. Story Prompt: As you go about your day, take a deep look past the surface of your own daily routine as if gazing into a wishing well. Don't just report the facts of your life to yourself. Find the glimmering coins of a deeper truth under the surface; write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Mit „Das Damengambit“ hat sich Anya Taylor-Joy eine weltweite Fangemeinde erspielt, jetzt ist sie mit „Lucky“ (5:15) bei Apple TV zurück im Seriengeschäft. Als Trickbetrügerin gerät sie in der Serie von Jonathan Tropper („Banshee“, „Your Friends and Neighbors“) ins Fadenkreuz von FBI und Annette Bening. Eine Serie, auf die sich Michael besonders gefreut hatte, während Maite und Rüdiger ohne große Erwartungen herangegangen sind. Wer hatte den richtigen Ansatz? Danach geht es mit Will Ferrells Netflix-Serie „The Hawk“ (32:04) auf den Golfplatz. Was für Rüdiger Alltag ist, ist für die anderen beiden Neuland, weshalb sie die Comedy mit anderen Augen gesehen haben – und trotzdem zu dem gleichen Urteil kommen. Schließlich geht es mit „Surface – Das versunkene Dorf“ (54:08) noch in die ARD Mediathek und zu einer französisch-belgischen Krimiserie. Die Prämisse, dass ein Mord in einer überfluteten Stadt geklärt werden soll, klingt faszinierend, aber – um die einzige Wasser-Wortspielerei zu benutzen, die Michael ihm noch übergelassen hat: Das Leben ist kein Wunschbrunnen. Cold-Open-Frage: „Was halten wir von Netflix' Kanal-Plänen?“

Have you ever felt like everything you've been avoiding, suppressing, or pushing down is suddenly coming up all at once? Maybe you've already done a lot of healing, but there's still something that continues to affect your life, your mood, and the way you see yourself. In this episode, we're talking about those seasons in life where emotions feel stronger, old wounds resurface, and things you thought you were “over” start showing up again. While it can feel overwhelming, these moments can also bring important awareness and create an opportunity for deeper healing.

Die Emmy-Nominierungen 2026 sind raus und bieten einige Überraschungen. Generell werden wir aber den Eindruck nicht los, dass das Feld diesmal deutlich schwächer ist. Trotzdem sind viele bekannte Stars dabei, denen wir die Daumen drücken. Machen am Ende wieder „The Pitt“ und „Hacks“ das Rennen oder haben „A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms“ und „Widow's Bay“ eine Chance? Im September finden wir es heraus, doch Hanna und Bjarne (Adams Urlaubsvertretung) geben schon jetzt ihre erste Einschätzung.Auch der neue Trailer zum Cli-Fi-Streifen „Digger“ mit Tom Cruise als Ölbaron hat uns fasziniert, genauso wie die Vorschau zu „Dune: Part Three“. Bei den neuen Serien, die angekündigt wurden, hatten wir Gesprächsbedarf bei „Crystal Lake“ und „MobLand“. Auch der tragische Tod von „Jurassic Park“-Star Sam Neill hat uns beschäftigt – und im Review-Bereich haben wir uns Netflix' „Unsere kleine Farm“, das neue Mafiadrama „The Westies“, die schafige ZDF-Serie „Sheep“ und „Lucky“ bei Apple TV vorgenommen. Viel Spaß mit dem wöchentlichen Rundumschlag!Timestamps: 0:00:00 Emmy-Nominierungen0:015:00 “The Beauty”: Der Cast zieht weiter…0:18:00 “Digger”, “Dune 3”, “Mobland” S2 und “Crystal Lake” im Trailerwatch0:26:30 Sam Neill verstorben0:29:00 “Unsere kleine Farm” by Netflix0:34:00 “The Westies” by MgM+0:38:00 “Sheep” in der ZDF-Mediathek0:40:45 “Surface” in der ARD-Mediathek0:43:00 “Lucky” by AppleTV0:46:00 NeustartsHanna Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/HannaHuge Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mediawhore.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mediawhore BjarneBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bjarnebock.bsky.socialSankt Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ztNeRqXyxw8Z5QpelTjnCAdam: Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/AwesomeArndt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awesomearndt/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AwesomeArndt Hosted on Acast.

If you've lowered demands for your PDA child or teen but still aren't seeing much progress, this episode is for you. It explains one of the most common sticking points I hear from families: that due to the name - Pathological Demand Avoidance - parents focused on lowering demands, when what their child needs more is increased autonomy and equality.This episode is an excerpt from my free Understanding PDA Masterclass. In it I walk through the distinction between demands as a surface-level behavior and autonomy and equality as the root-level mechanism. To help make the difference clear, I describe how in a typical morning autonomy losses often accumulate before a child even gets out the door.Key Takeaways Demands Are the Surface. Autonomy Is the Root | 00:00:00 The name Pathological Demand Avoidance points toward the behavior: avoidance of demands. But if we think about PDA as a pervasive drive for autonomy, we get closer to the actual mechanism. Parents who have lowered demands and are not seeing progress are often still inadvertently signaling a loss of autonomy through expectation, energy, agenda, or position of authority, even when the demand itself has been removed. The surface level behavior is demand avoidance. The root level cause is neuroception of a loss of autonomy or equality. My Younger Son's School Refusal: The Autonomy Mechanism in Real Time | 00:01:33 For two weeks, my younger son could not get his body to go to school. Each evening he would tell me he genuinely wanted to go the next morning, naming specific things he looked forward to. When I asked whether he would like me to prompt him in the morning, he said no, because if you do, then I will not go. That is the PDA mechanism: in his thinking brain, with full autonomy and no external expectation, going to school felt possible. The moment an agenda or a prompt from me entered, his amygdala would register a loss of autonomy, activate the threat response, and make going impossible. A Morning Audit: Fifteen Activations To Start The Day | 00:06:02 I walk through a typical first hour of a day with a PDA child to illustrate how many autonomy and equality losses can accumulate before the family has even left the house. Being woken up by a parent or an alarm is an externally imposed loss of autonomy. Being expected to come downstairs, eat, eat in a particular place, be told what is and is not available for breakfast, clean up the plate, get dressed, put on shoes, pack a backpack, receive a gentle correction after pushing a sibling on the way to the car: each one registers in the amygdala as a threat event. In a loving, gentle household with no intentional pressure, there can be fifteen or more of these activations in forty-five minutes. That cumulative load is what makes PDA disabling, not any single demand. Equality Is as Important as Autonomy | 00:04:50 The equality piece is often underemphasized. It includes any energy of another person being above the PDA child in stature, authority, or position: not getting the most ice cream, not being first down the stairs, not getting the last word, having a parent try and teach them something in the moment of a behavior. Even gentle parenting's recommendation to take the child aside after a dysregulation and debrief produces this perception, because the parent is placing themselves above as the teacher and the explainer. The child is not in the right part of their brain to receive it, and the teaching itself is perceived as another activation.Relevant Resources Understanding PDA — The free masterclass from which this episode is excerpted, covering the six characteristics of PDA including the survival drive for autonomy and equality described here.Burnout — Free class with context for how cumulative autonomy losses build over time to the point of disabling access to basic needs.Paradigm Shift Program — My signature program where the shift from a demand lens to an autonomy and equality lens is practiced as an embodied skill over twelve weeks of live coaching.

The hosts discuss several network and security topics, starting with UniFi's new "Device Supervisor" feature under Power and Resiliency to monitor device heartbeat and automatically recover silent devices, plus UniFi's move from UniFi Server to UniFi OS Server that may require a migration and re-adoption, pushing remaining sites off a Mac mini to cloud management. They revisit ethernet surge protection and grounding for outdoor cameras and consider alternatives like rack grounding, DIN rails, grounding rods, or using a sacrificial outdoor switch with fiber uplink. They mention Speedify for bonding multiple cellular/Wi‑Fi connections. The conversation shifts to email security: Microsoft's "impossible travel" detection and API reporting versus Google's weaker reporting, alongside odd Google reauthentication/password-change loops and MFA fatigue leading to a Google account breach. They cover deploying Claude Enterprise in healthcare with BAA needs and using Microsoft Purview/Defender to block pasting PHI into Claude, then discuss risks of fake password prompts, password managers (1Password vs LastPass), and end-user security training.

Leadership development is not about checking boxes. It is about building the awareness, communication, trust, and consistency required to help people grow, perform, and feel safe enough to do meaningful work. LaTonya Wilkins brings a powerful conversation on what it really means to lead below the surface. From psychological safety and culture to coaching, delegation, community, and connection across differences, this master class challenges leaders to stop treating leadership like a static skillset and start looking at how leadership is actually experienced by the people they serve. Learn how to honestly rate your leadership by asking better questions: • How clear is your communication? • How do people experience you in meetings, emails, and difficult conversations? • Are you giving people the guardrails they need without making them too tight? • Are you creating hope, trust, compassion, and stability? • Are you developing people, or just expecting them to perform? • Are burnout, churn, poor delegation, and low trust signs of a deeper leadership problem? This conversation also explores why many leadership development programs fail because they rely on outdated models, performative culture work, and initiatives that were never truly embedded into the organization. Real culture cannot be reduced to perks, titles, slogans, or temporary programs. It has to show up in how leaders communicate, make decisions, build teams, manage change, and create belonging. LaTonya also brings a needed perspective on coaching and community in a noisy market where too many people sell quick fixes without doing the real work. Strong leadership, real coaching, and healthy culture are all relationship businesses. They require trust, self-awareness, accountability, and the right people around you at every stage. For executives, founders, HR leaders, coaches, consultants, people managers, and anyone responsible for leading others, this conversation is a reminder that real leadership still wins when it is rooted in trust, development, culture, coaching, and community.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the Talking Pools Podcast, Rudy breaks down two major stories making waves across the pool industry.First, a new case before the Minnesota Supreme Court could redefine what happens when homeowners rent out their backyard swimming pools through apps like Swimpley. If a residential pool becomes a commercial business, should it be regulated like a public pool? Rudy explores what that could mean for homeowners, service companies, builders, health departments, insurance carriers, and pool professionals across the country.Then, the episode shifts to the continuing investigation surrounding the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Following the Independence Day celebrations, crews drained the basin to begin inspecting the widely discussed coating failure. Rudy separates documented facts from speculation and explains why engineering investigations require evidence—not opinions.Drawing on more than three decades of troubleshooting complex pool failures, Rudy examines the publicly available documentation, discusses coating systems, adhesion failures, ASTM testing standards, moisture considerations, recoat windows, and why forensic analysis—not politics—will ultimately determine what happened.If you're tired of hot takes and looking for a technical, evidence-based discussion, this episode delivers exactly that.In This Episode Minnesota Supreme Court hears the Swimpley backyard pool case  When does a residential swimming pool become a public pool?  Operational challenges for pool service professionals  The future of pool-sharing platforms  Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool investigation update  Why the pool was drained after Independence Day  Separating documented facts from online speculation  Understanding coating systems and polyurea applications  Adhesive vs. cohesive vs. substrate failures  ASTM adhesion and moisture testing standards  Why recoat windows matter  Surface preparation and concrete moisture considerations  Green water, algae, and what it does—and doesn't—prove  Why investigations begin by eliminating theories, not proving them  Lessons the entire pool industry can learn from a high-profile failure Key TakeawayGood investigations don't begin with conclusions. They begin with evidence.Whether it's a backyard pool operating as a business or one of America's most recognizable reflecting pools, the same principles apply: collect the facts, test the evidence, challenge assumptions, and let the data tell the story.

In this special preview episode, Teresa and Jennifer sit down with the Boss Lady Women's Leadership Conference's opening keynote speaker, Jaime Marco, creator of the UnFunkt® Movement. Together they explore why so many accomplished women feel stuck—not because they lack ability, but because they're surrounded by noise, expectations, and distractions that keep them from reaching their full potential.Instead of chasing bigger goals or working harder, Jaime shares why intentional micro-moves and human-first leadership can help us reconnect with who we already are. This conversation is the perfect introduction to this year's conference theme, 'Diving Into Your Potential,' and a great discussion starter for July Ladder Network groups. CONNECT WITH US:Connect with Teresa on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresarand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Back Porch Communications (Jennifer Roberts): ⁠https://www.backporchcom.com/⁠Learn more about Boss Lady events and coaching at Ladder Network:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.laddernetwork.org

Bill shares his path from Kentucky to high-end audio and eventually buying Clark Synthesis, and explains how their underwater speakers work by radiating sound more like a cello, producing full-frequency audio with strong bass rather than the tinny sound typical underwater. They discuss design help (plan markup in about 24 hours), installation in standard light niches, custom powder-coated finishes, and considerations like waterfalls, swim jets, and volume safety. Bill describes broader uses of their vibration/transducer technology in massage tables, drummers' hearing protection, decks as subwoofers via bone conduction, resorts and yachts, float tanks, therapy applications, and VR/theme parks, plus key tips: mix audio to mono, use proper amplifiers, and test speakers in water.   Discover more: https://clarksynthesis.com/ https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@MikeFarleyDesigns https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/   00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 01:17 Meet the Guest Bill Phillips 02:04 Bill's Audio Journey 03:04 HGTV Lazy River Story 04:52 How Underwater Sound Works 07:05 Full Frequency Bass Explained 08:04 Underwater Movie Nights 09:06 Speaker Placement and Install 10:19 Design and Color Customization 11:23 Feeling Music Underwater 12:31 Beyond Pools Massage Tech 15:00 Where to Try Them Out 16:00 Marine and Portable Options 17:28 Float Tanks and Wellness 19:14 Wildest Backyard Use Case 20:17 Planning for Water Noise 22:05 Volume Safety and Control 23:02 Deck Transducers for Bass 24:18 Decks as Speakers 24:48 Why Wood Resonates 25:09 Bone Conduction Explained 25:58 Car Gravel Road Demo 27:50 Barefoot vs Shoes 29:32 Marriage Saved by Sound 31:13 Company Evolution Story 33:22 Ordering and Dealer Support 35:17 Therapy and Deaf Dance Floors 36:42 Biggest Unexpected Use Cases 38:26 VR and Future Healthcare 40:04 Setup Mistakes to Avoid 41:32 Hearing Safety Questions 42:46 Contact and Rapid Fire Qs 44:32 Papua New Guinea Memories 46:16 Wrap Up and Show Mission  

The firmness of putting greens varies with the surface organic material. More organic material in the top 2 cm (0.8 inches), and greens are softer. I discuss terminology, the relationship between firmness and organic material, and what you can do about this.The blog post discussed is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/om2-and-firmness/Read more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/Get free ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/ Find out more about soil tests with ATC at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/

Iowa's farmland sits on more than soil — deep underground may be the makings of a clean energy economy. On this episode, we go beneath Iowa's surface to talk about a billion-year-old rock formation where geologic hydrogen is hiding. We talk with Ryan Clark, associate state geologist at the Iowa Geological Survey and Betsy Swanner, an Iowa State University professor of Earth, atmosphere and climate to find out what it would take to actually build a hydrogen economy in Iowa. Then, Iowa State University agronomist Jianming Yu shares what artificial intelligence and citizen science reveal about how plants adapt to their environments.

Why do we still feel lonely when we're surrounded by people who love us? In this episode, we continue the conversation about loneliness by looking beyond the feeling itself and exploring the deeper longings underneath it. We discuss why loneliness is often less about a lack of people and more about a lack of meaningful connection, how our needs for connection change throughout different seasons of life, and why midlife often brings these longings to the surface. You'll learn how to identify what you're truly longing for, where you may be settling for interaction instead of connection, and how God can use these feelings to guide you toward deeper relationships with Him and others. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why Loneliness Is Really About Connection, Not a Lack of People [04:00] How Midlife Creates Space for Deeper Longings to Surface [08:00] Why Authentic Connection Is a God-Given Need [12:00] How Our Relationship Needs Change Throughout Different Seasons of Life [15:00] Identifying What You're Actually Longing For [18:00] The Unhealthy Ways We Sometimes Try to Meet Our Need for Connection [22:00] Questions to Ask When Loneliness Keeps Showing Up [26:00] Finding Connection, Growth, and Support in Community  RESOURCES: Join us for “Navigating Loneliness and Disconnection in Midlife” (July 2026 Topic in the Emotional Confidence Club)   If loneliness, emotional disconnection, or major life transitions have been showing up for you lately, the Emotional Confidence Club is a place to process those experiences alongside other Christian women who understand what you're going through.  In July, we'll be taking a deeper look at loneliness and emotional disconnection, exploring questions like:  Why can I feel lonely even when I'm surrounded by people I love?  What is the difference between being alone and feeling disconnected?  What kind of connection am I truly longing for in this season?  Where is God inviting me into deeper healing, community, and relationship?  To learn more, visit: AliciaMichelle.com/club  RELATED EPISODES: Ep 359: When Emotions Feel Scary: Practical Tools to Courageously Process What's Inside Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (And It's Time to Step Into That Healing) Ep 367: Why Do I Feel Lonely in Midlife When I'm Surrounded by People I Love? Send us Fan Mail

Today, a look at a much zanier Friday session in US equities than the almost flat close on the S&P 500 suggested as market internals have become wildly divergent, much of it linked to the market's bucketing of AI winners and losers. Elsewhere, as Volkswagen sets up a possibly 100,000 layoffs, in part on weaker Chinese demand and greater competition from cheaper Chinese EVs, and as Europe roasts with record high temperatures, will Europe's trade policy toward coal-burning China harden on climate grounds? As usual, macro and FX and much more also on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links See Friday's John J. Hardy substack, in which I discussed the AI winners and losers on the very day when market internals went especially haywire along the fault lines of this theme.  A WSJ article suggests that one of China's latest AI models may match the ability to exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities shown by Anthropic's Mythos.   FTAlphaville with an excellent article wondering whether the current AI revolution may echo some of the impacts on labor and capital that marked especially the early decades of the Indutrial revolution.   About twice per week (in normal times, hopefully soon to resume), you will find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J.

Have you ever felt like there has to be more to your relationship with God than simply going through the motions?In this inspiring episode Jayme Elizabeth welcomes author Amy Loflin to discuss her powerful book, A Story Worth Living: Reclaim Your Confidence, Purpose, and Peace. Together, they explore what it means to move beyond surface-level faith and cultivate a deeper, transformative connection with Jesus.Amy shares the personal journey that inspired her book—a season when she was doing all the "right" things spiritually, yet sensed God calling her into a more intimate relationship with Him. Through intentional time in Scripture, unique seasons of fasting, and immersing herself in the stories of Jesus, Amy discovered fresh revelations about God's character, her identity, and the life-changing power of encountering Christ personally.In this conversation, you'll discover:• Why many believers unintentionally remain in shallow faith and what keeps them there• The "pool noodle" analogy that reveals hidden barriers preventing spiritual growth• How busyness, fear, insecurity, doubt, and people-pleasing can hinder intimacy with God• Practical ways to move from simply knowing Scripture to experiencing heart transformation• The difference between having a relationship with God and actively fellowshipping with Him• Powerful insights from the story of the woman with the issue of blood and what her encounter with Jesus teaches us today• How revelation from God's Word produces lasting transformationAmy beautifully reminds us that many people can be close to Jesus, yet not experience the life-changing transformation that comes from reaching for Him in faith. Through her storytelling and biblical insights, you'll be encouraged to release the things holding you back and pursue a deeper relationship with the Lord.If you've been longing for more of God's presence, greater spiritual growth, and a faith that moves beyond routine into genuine transformation, this episode will inspire you to dive deeper.Connect with Amy Loflin:Visit EchoJoyCollective.com to learn more about Amy and her book A Story Worth Living.Subscribe to She Speaks Life for more faith-building conversations that help women grow deeper in God's Word, strengthen their relationship with Jesus, and live out their God-given purpose. https://www.jaymeelizabeth.com/Personalize Scripture With Me!

This episode begins a new look at the German surface raiding campaign of late 1940 and early 1941, when the Kriegsmarine tried to use cruisers and battleships to threaten Britain's Atlantic lifelines. We trace how the fall of France transformed Germany's naval options, why ports like Brest and St. Nazaire mattered, how intelligence shaped the hunt on both sides, and how the Admiral Scheer's attack on Convoy HX-84 forced the Royal Navy to rethink convoy protection just before the campaign reached its most dramatic phase.

Windows 12 is stalled and the real reasons go far beyond software. The conversation unpacks how soaring hardware prices, AI chaos, and market confusion have Microsoft in a holding pattern. Also, Paul finally took a sledgehammer to the subscription services he pays for, and more is on the way. Plus, one of Paul's favorite Markdown editors supports authorship on Windows now and an integrated Search/Outline view on Mac, iPad, and iPad.Windows Week D is here with a preview of July's Patch Tuesday Point-in-time restore is now generally available in Windows 11, sort of Quieter widgets, which is nice! Plus, Screen tint, Windows Update improvements, more Tied to this, sort of, something wonderful is happening to the Windows 11 Field Guide Five new builds, plus some 26H2 news (and still no news about what 26H1 becomes, see below...) Mostly minor fit-and-finish improvements So... what about Windows 12? The history is interesting, and Copilot+ PC was what Paul originally thought Windows 12 would be. But now we're talking agentic capabilities that will handle local/cloud/hybrid orchestration per last week's discussion, and maybe that will be it. We knew that Surface Laptop and Surface Pro would come in 8 GB configurations. But they're available now with just 256 GB of storage and the prices are $950 and $850 and up, respectively. Plus all the usual Surface limitations, like one color choice. (16 GB is $1150 and $1050, respectively, so $300 more.) Once again, it's time to just get a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5x for $850. It has 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage and is awesome. Tim Cook just admitted that Apple will raise hardware prices because of the component crisis. If this is hitting Apple hard, the rest of the industry is screwed. AI Cory Doctorow's new book is out and let's just say his new neologism isn't as catchy as enshittification Reverse centaur (groan) Surprisingly centrist view on the pros and cons of AI Highlights the Microsoft financial shenanigans I point out every quarter: Microsoft "invests" $10 billion of "tokens" in OpenAI, but there's no volume discount and Microsoft books the transaction as $10 billion in AI revenues as OpenAI simply uses its infrastructure. It gave $10 billion to OpenAI so that it could spend $10 billion on Azure. Google Home Speaker is the Gemini speaker and it's now shipping to first customers as Google discontinues Nest Audio and Nest Mini speakers. Can we trust this company with hardware? And why are there no Apple or Google home theater setups?
