There is no shortage of options in the digital watch world today. From watches loaded with more technological features than most people could ever hope to use to models and brands with basic weather and navigational capabilities included, there's a digital option to suit most budgets. But where do we draw the line on tech reliance in the field? Especially when our phones and satellite messaging devices can already do so much? Enter traditional tool watches. Simple. Practical. Rugged. Dependable. Do we really need more from our timepieces? There seems to be more and more interest in classic or traditional watches today, but a lot of that content focuses on fairly high-end brands that many of you will recognize and maybe can't afford. But for 80+ years, a Canadian company, leveraging Swiss manufacturing has been quietly but confidently building watches for the most demanding and extreme use cases and customers. And they come at a price that most people can manage, especially when compared to the cost of a lot of the other hunting/outdoor gear we spend our money on. Marathon Watch has an incredible history and legacy within the watch community and, if you've never heard of them before, we hope this episode exposes you to a brand that should be a household name within our community too. NOTABLE QUOTES: “One of our customers was deployed in the Middle East when his convoy was caught in an IED. He lost his arm, but the watch survived.” @marathonwatch --------------------------- DEALS & OFFERS: Get FREE SHIPPING from Spartan Precision Equipment with code BTK25 and be sure to check out their new Springbok line of products.

With skilled labour in short supply everywhere, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain or enhance productivity in metal-cutting production without complete automation. Companies will gain a competitive edge if they pay greater attention to the customer's perspective during these ongoing labour constraints and contemplate comprehensive machining solutions. The pressure in metal-cutting production is gradually intensifying due to a decreasing number of qualified individuals in the labour market. The labour situation is likely to deteriorate as the current skilled workforce begins to retire in the next five years. Furthermore, those workers still willing to work may lack the necessary skills for many essential tasks. An effective approach for transforming shops could involve their tool partner. If tool manufacturers consider the perspectives of customers and users, they possess tools and solutions that facilitate machining operations requiring fewer staff. This is particularly relevant in machining scenarios where fully automated processes are not feasible. One forward-thinking tool manufacturer is ARNO Werkzeuge from Ostfildern near Stuttgart. The family-run company possesses a wealth of expertise derived from its proximity to customers. This is reflected in various tools that prioritise complete machining wherever possible, enabling users to rely on rapid and user-friendly tool-changing systems for both fixed headstock and Swiss-type automatic lathes. The Swabian company has recently added height-adjustable holders for back working to its product range. These holders boast several impressive features not found in conventional systems. The newly introduced height-adjustable holders for machines without a Y2 axis can be finely pre-adjusted off the machine using an adjustment device, enhancing production and machine running times whilst making the process easy to learn. The easy-to-install system comprises a basic holder, spacer plate, top holder, and coolant supply attachment. The basic holder is precision clamped and secured by a simple dovetail guide, featuring smooth surfaces to prevent chip accumulation. ARNO Werkzeuge's new holders preserve the centre height setting when the tool holder is replaced, guaranteeing repeat accuracy and saving considerable time. Tool-changing scenarios always present challenges that can cost time and create sources of error. For trained lathe operators, these are everyday tasks. However, semi-skilled workers may lack the skills required for today's highly developed turning processes. Tool manufacturers who consider these scenarios now will have a competitive edge. When tool changes can be entirely eliminated, tasks naturally become easier. ARNO Werkzeuge has developed fixed holders with tools for machines featuring a Y2 axis, where the adjustable axis determines the centre height. These holders are designed in collaboration with machine manufacturers to ensure optimal dimensions whilst offering high stability. The company's patented AWL tool holder system can accommodate between two and eight tools, depending on the machine design, enabling a wide range of turning operations without human intervention. The AWL direct mount has an integrated coolant supply with two separate cooling channels supplying coolant to the cut point at high pressures of up to 150 bar. If tool changes are necessary, the AWL direct mount is supported by the AFC quick-change tooling system. Removing or fitting two-part tools requires only a few straightforward operations. Interchangeable tool holders can be fitted and removed swiftly, with only the front section needing detachment to attach the new insert. In view of the skilled labour shortage now and in the future, tool manufacturers need to rethink their approach. ARNO Werkzeuge, whose products are easy to use, adjust, change and handle, exemplifies achieving this transformation.
Weather History On July 17, 1972, slow-moving morning thunderstorms dropped 5.5 inches of rain at Sioux City, setting the all-time daily rainfall record there (still standing). Other highlights: 4.63 inches at Sac City, 3.45 inches at Humboldt. Short-Term Weather Outlook Cool air has returned after a recent frontal passage, but temperatures are forecast to increase again heading into next week. There are chances for showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. A “Ring of Fire” storm pattern will set up as a heat dome builds south over Missouri, leading to more storms along its northern edge (ridge riders/squall lines), likely north of Iowa, affecting the Upper Midwest (ND, SD, MN, WI). Medium-Range Weather Setup The bullseye of the heat dome appears over Missouri July 22–26; during this time, Iowa will see a precipitation gradient, with most rain favored in northeast Iowa. Precipitation forecast is variable, and storm placement will become clearer closer to each event. Southeast Iowa (and previously drier northern counties) have recently received significant rainfall, shifting them from "have-nots" to "haves." Ottumwa remains in moderate drought ("D1") as a stubborn dry spot. Climate Outlook 6–10 and 8–14 day forecasts show high probabilities for above-normal warmth (especially south), then continued wetness through late July. The 3–4 week outlook through August 8 gives no clear signal on temperatures, with a slight lean toward dryness in southwestern Iowa. Initial August outlooks show “equal chances” for temperature and precipitation over southern and central Iowa, a result of persistent widespread soil moisture which helps moderate heat. Atmospheric Impacts Recent wetness tamps down temperature extremes due to moist soils and increased cloud cover. The area's high dew points indicate low atmospheric demand, reducing drought risk but potentially increasing plant disease issues. Past Week's Weather Severe weather last Friday produced two weak tornadoes in southern and eastern Iowa, with no widespread damage. Wildfire smoke from Canada arrived over the weekend after a strong cold front and wind shift to northwesterly flow. Wet conditions continued across much of the state. Specialty Crop Impacts Foliar Disease Risk Prolonged wet conditions are increasing foliar disease risks in specialty crops. Preventive fungicide programs are recommended for conventional growers, especially on brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower). Summary of biopesticide efficacy for brassica diseases (per Meg McGrath, Cornell University): For black rot: Oxidate worked in 1 of 1 trial, Regalia in 1 of 2, copper in 4 of 5, Double Nickel in 1 of 1. For alternaria: copper is most effective. Over-use of copper risks resistance and soil accumulation; organic certification requires soil copper testing before use. For basil downy mildew: Only resistant varieties (notably the Prospera series) provide reliable control—fungicides are not effective. For powdery mildew on pumpkins and squash: Use potassium bicarbonate products like Kaligreen or Milstop (these are safer than baking soda due to plant salt sensitivity). Disease and Cost Monitoring Meg McGrath's cost-per-acre chart helps growers compare costs of biopesticides and fungicides Beet and Swiss Chard Disease Cercospora leaf spot is appearing on beet and Swiss chard leaves, making chard unmarketable. Resistant varieties like Char Bell are advised for chard. Japanese Beetle Management Listener asked about Milky Spore for Japanese beetle grub control. Dan cautions little evidence supports its effectiveness and prefers pest exclusion over soil treatments, since beetles migrate from other areas. Pheromone traps may attract more beetles than they catch—sometimes best given to neighbors to ward beetles away from your crops. Colorado Potato Beetle Resistance The second generation of Colorado potato beetle larvae has emerged. Rotate insecticide chemistries to avoid resistance (e.g., use Azera in the second generation if spinosad was used in the first). Non-chemical methods, like knocking beetles into a soapy water bucket, remain effective—plants tolerate up to ~33% defoliation before yield loss. Announcements and Events The Fruit and Vegetable Field Day at Iowa State University's Horticulture Research Station will be held August 5th, 2:00–5:30 PM (free, with supper and registration link provided). The Plant Peddler "Educate the Educators" Day is July 31st in Cresco, with a feast and entertainment; the next day is Variety Day showcasing mature bedding plants (trade show only, not for sale). Practical Farmers of Iowa opened applications for the horticulture program coordinator position. Podcast summary generated using perplexity.ai

Switzerland's groundbreaking new labelling law, effective July 1, 2025 doesn't abolish animal cruelty—but maybe it bans ignorance. Food products like meat, dairy, eggs, foie gras, and even frogs' legs must now clearly disclose if the animals experienced painful procedures—such as dehorning, castration, tail docking, force-feeding—performed without pain relief. The requirement extends to supermarkets, restaurants, small businesses, and importers (swissinfo.ch).Michele unpacks how sunlight—the best disinfectant—can shine on systems once hidden from view. Especially for those of us in midlife, this transparency invites reflection, choice, and meaningful shifts. It's not about forcing people to change; it's about widening awareness.In this episode:Why truth on a label isn't an agenda—it's an invitation.How the “right not to know” may be the real barrier.What we can each do—no guilt, just curiosity.Listener Challenge: Choose one animal-based product—food, clothing, or cosmetics. Research how it was made. Ask yourself: does it match how I want to eat, live, or care?Mentioned in this episode:Swiss federal food labelling law requiring disclosure of painful animal procedures (plantbasednews.org, swissinfo.ch)Labeling obligation applies to meat, milk, eggs, foie gras, frogs' legs—across food outlets (plantbasednews.org)Force-feeding ducks and geese (foie gras) must be labelled—despite domestic ban for over 40 years (swissinfo.ch)Ban on fur imports from cruel practices, plus mandatory labeling and standards for fur products (swissinfo.ch)Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

He holds a PhD in Finance from Université de Neuchâtel.Laurent joined Merle to discuss the topic of investing pension funds in startups through Swiss VC funds. Although most Swiss pension funds are currently invested in bonds, stocks, real estate and cash, 5% of it goes into private equity or private debt. There are, however, some caveats to this type of investment: the investment must be made in entities located in Switzerland, and money cannot be borrowed to increase the size of the investment. Laurent argues that more Swiss pension fund money should be invested in Swiss startups, in a risk-controlled environment, to help bridge the funding gap for growth-stage Swiss startups. He warns that investment choices must not be network/politically based, but instead driven by neutral market expertise. Laurent and Merle also discussed the possibility of creating a “fund of funds”, meaning a fund of startup investing experts who would invest the money trusted to them by pension fund investors.

Tamara White always has one eye on the skies. Whether she's getting her sheep ready for shearing, welcoming visitors to classes and events on the farm, or watching over the yarn in kettles of natural dye, there isn't a moment when the weather isn't on her mind. Although rain and heat make hard work of tending a flock of 100+ sheep plus calves, chickens, and other livestock, Tammy sees her work as a collaboration with Mother Nature. Most yarn production farms consist of hundreds of animals of a single breed, enough to produce consistent batches of single-breed yarn. Tammy's way is more difficult, but more fun. In addition to her original small group of Shetlands, she has an evolving mix of breeds: sometimes Clun Forest, sometimes Teeswater, and most recently Valais Blacknose, a recent Swiss import dubbed the “world's cutest sheep.” Wing & A Prayer Farm's yarn line includes a number of fiber blends, not only to incorporate the farm's different wools but also to bring the best traits of various breeds together. Creating yarns this way also invites collaboration with other shepherds and a number of small mills to whom she trusts her batch of wool. The collaboration with nature continues in dyeing the yarn. A self-taught dyer, Tammy creates as many colors as she can with plants that she can grow in her garden or forage on her property. To support her farm and community, Tammy takes on a wide range of other projects: making soap and pies, selling eggs, hosting classes, and selling breeding stock to other shepherds. It's an enormous amount of work, but Tammy talks about her farm with such joy that it hardly sounds like a chore.

In this second episode of the nine-part Arbatel Project series, Erik and Evan explore the First Septenary of this 16th century Swiss grimoire. The episode delves into the Arbatel's emphasis on secrecy in magical practice, summarized by the opening aphorism: "Whoever wants to know secrets, needs to know how to keep secrets."The First Septenary establishes the foundation for the grimoire's approach to magic, encouraging practitioners to "live for the Muses" by embracing creativity and artistic pursuits. We discuss the importance of memory in magical practice, with the Arbatel instructing practitioners to thoroughly memorize essential knowledge. While the text presents a Christian framework for invoking deity before magical works, the hosts explore how practitioners of various spiritual backgrounds might adapt these principles.Get the Arbatel so you can follow along: https://amzn.to/40eDW9EAnd join our chat on Discord: https://arnemancy.com/discordSupport Arnemancy on Patreon: https://patreon.com/arnemancyMentioned in this episode:Visit Sword + ScytheSword + Scythe creates handmade materia magica, amulets, astrological talismans, and provides divinatory services under the auspices of Mars and Saturn.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 13, race fixing is the featured murderless crime. This is The Butterfly Stroke Effect by Ken HarrisDELIBERATIONSally Bones DeLuca is convinced the arrest of a swimmer was really a strike at him. He has a few tigers by the tail but he's still not sure which one set him up to fall. Let's see what we can do to help him get back on the Don's good side. Here are the suspects he's considered in the order of appearance:Harper Underhill, the American swimmer busted for magic mushroomsFedir Belinsky, head of the Russian mobTony Accardo, Sally's right hand manVladya “Swiss” Zinczenko, unretired Russian mob associateAirport staff member, Serbian baggage handler claims to have bet big against Underhill.Here are the facts as Sally Bones has pieced them together:Sally's operation was making good book on the women's Olympic butterfly event. The favorite was American Harper Underhill. Underhill did not fly commercial with the rest of the team. She traveled to from Philadelphia to Paris on a private charter and was arrested when she disembarked for transporting banned substances. Sally Bones and his crew were not aware of the development and continued taking bets for the underdog Russian swimmer Tatiana Popova. With her main competition out, Popova won and now the Don and Sally have to pay out.The Italian and Russian mobs are always going head-to-head. Sally suspects the Russian set Underhill up to financially hit Don Caccamo's operation through the sports book business.Swiss Zinczenko tells Sally it wasn't the Russians and to look in his own house. While Sally trusts Swiss, he thinks the Russian's have the strongest motive.Because of Swiss's suggestion, Sally notices that is right-hand man Tony Accardo maybe has a little more than he should…like an expensive new car. With Sally's demotion, Accardo has the chance to get in tighter with the boss.An interview on TV turns Sally on to a baggage handler at the airport who worked Underhill's chartered flight. The man complained about Underhill's treatment of the staff and just might have had a reason to take her down.Since Agent Price is on the job, we know a few things Sally doesn't: Swiss Zinczenko is coming out of retirement and he's looking to do it big. Hurting Caccamo's business would be a step in the right direction.Price's task force partner, TSA agent Juanita Navar, is caught in an explosion aimed at Sally. Navar rambled about horse race betting and Sally Bones, including threats, pointing, and blame.Who does Sally Bones really have to blame for his financial ruin and demotion?ABOUT Race FixingGoogle search on “race fixing” and you find a lot of horse stories. From History.com comes 10 famous horse fixing scandals. Yes, there is the basic “take bribes to slow a horse”, although the scale of Anthony “Big Tony” Ciulla's bribe scheme in the early 1970s was truly impressive (every state except CA.) Let's
There was a time when people needed watches, to check the time of course. But now, our phones, laptops and even our fridges can tell us that. Still, the watch market, particularly the luxury watch market, is growing in India. According to Market Brew, between January to May 2025, exports of Swiss watches to India grew to Rs 1,100 crore – that's a yearly growth of 10%. Even in 2024, this sector performed quite well – Swiss watch exports to India were worth Rs 2,600 crore. In the latest episode of The Signal Daily, we'll learn about who's buying luxury watches in India, and why? Some buyers also see luxury watches as an investment that will give them returns. How does that work? The Core produces The Signal Daily.

In I Learned About Flying from That, Episode 109, host Rob Ryder features experienced pilot Mark Brooke, who recounts a harrowing incident from August 1979 during his air taxi days, when a seemingly easy flight from a grass field near London to Leeds became a "nailbiter". Mark, then an instructor building hours for his commercial license, faced a series of converging "holes in the Swiss cheese lined up scenarios". His predicament stemmed from fuel mismanagement – opting not to take on more fuel initially and later skipping refueling at Leeds due to cost and a belief he had enough for the return trip. This was compounded by deteriorating weather, including a warm front with a dropping cloud base and persistent rain that Mark initially underestimated, changing winds that created a strong headwind on the return flight, and a late departure causing darkness to set in quicker than expected. Low on fuel, in worsening weather, and unable to get radar assistance from a closed air force base, Mark found himself "boxed in" with no easy diversion options, lacking an "out". The tense situation culminated in an emergency landing at White Waltham Field, a World War II-era grass airfield with no lighting, where a dedicated club member, Paul, arranged for cars to light the runway with their headlights. Mark's critical takeaways from this experience include the importance of never passing on an opportunity to take on fuel ("with fuel you got time and with time you got options"), being aware of the "dangerous time" for PPL accidents around 500 hours where pilots can become overconfident, always respecting the weather, and crucially, always leaving yourself an out in airmanship.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry Tried a new method for preserving Swiss chard Second wave of cucumbers is coming in this week Ate a frog: cleared out the storage shed (creating more space for power pantry storage instead of just piles of stuff) Time to double down on drying herbs for tea and cooking Operation Independence Really excited about the upcoming canning class Hosted a Hipcamper this weekend — boom! $25 earned Main Topic of the Show: Victim or Victor First let's look at what a victim is - or rather signs that you are acting like a victim and therefore bringing more negative upon yourself: Overusing the term "I can't" Explaining to friends all the things that went wrong or worked against you EVERY time you get together. Obsessing on what other people think about you, say about you, did to you - or are doing to you to undermine you Telling yourself you'll never get X because Y happened - over and over - this is a message that will come true when you say it - you are the story you tell yourself Focus on the causes of your current troubles rather than the things that can solve problems. And what does the victor look like? Takes rabid responsibility for their part in their own troubles (John Bush on self reflection, Buying things with a credit card to satisfy the instant gratification monkey, Friend with a violent husband removing herself from access, etc.) Controls their reaction to bad things to make the best of it - but not in a fake toxic positivity way. (Macchu Picchu) Focuses on what they CAN control (this one hurts for a reforming political junkie) Sees obstacles as challenges rather than insurmountable roadblocks Gains self worth internally, not from the feedback of others (and therefore cares not what people say about them or if people are trying to undermine them) A victor will ask - how can I? A victim will say I can't. That is the biggest difference between the two. So how do you become a victor when you are stuck as a victim? Recognize where you are - that is the first step to owning your future Shift your mindset from being helpless to proactive, rabid responsibility Know what you cannot control, and embrace that you can control your reaction to it Kill the negative thoughts and paranoia and ask yourself - How can i? Forgive - forgive yourself, forgive those around you - but it is ok to NOT forget6. Set boundaries to keep yourself building your future rather than getting stuck in past, unhealthy cycles. That choice — to build forward instead of staying broken — is what changes everything. Make it a great week. GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

@philippapacho is like a musical Swiss knife: she has exactly the right tool for every occasion, from warm-ups to peak time to wonky afters. It was a long residency at Under Bron in her native Stockholm that equipped her with those skills, and since moving to Berlin, she's gone on to make her mark across Europe playing all forms of techno. Late last year, Pacho launched her own label Phorum Records as a further extension of her sound, and she also curates tracks and parties under the Positive Source banner. This August, Pacho joins us at Amsterdamse Bos for Dekmantel 2025 but first serves up this deeply cerebral trip into Millsian techno. It's a high-speed selection of sleek and synth-laced sounds rich in narrative, be that mind-melting urgency, more dark and moody undercurrents or a sense of cosmic unknown. Utterly timeless and effortless classic, this is techno in its most futuristic form.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com The most expensive Swiss knife The most expensive Swiss Army Knife ever made is a luxury model produced by Victorinox in collaboration with Swiss jeweler Bonfort, released in 2004. It is covered with nearly 800 diamonds, totaling close to 4 carats, and features platinum or gold shells. Only 40 pieces were made (20 in platinum, 20 in gold), each priced at over $100,000. The knife includes standard tools like a large blade, small blade, nail file, nail cleaner, scissors, orange peeler, screwdriver, and tweezers, with all tools except the tweezers encrusted with diamonds. It comes in a solid aluminum suitcase with a diamond authenticity certificate If you don't need it, I don't got it, but if you need it, I got it. Sounds corny but the truth is that is exactly what the word of God is like. The Bible uses several vivid word pictures to describe God's Word, beyond the well-known metaphors of a lamp and a sword. Here are some key examples, drawn from Scripture: Fire: God's Word is likened to a fire, symbolizing its power to purify, consume, and energize. Jeremiah 23:29 - "Is not my word like fire," declares the Lord, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?" Hammer: In the same verse, God's Word is compared to a hammer, emphasizing its ability to break through hardness and resistance, such as stubborn hearts or false beliefs. Seed: The Word is depicted as a seed that, when planted in receptive hearts, grows and bears fruit. Mark 4:14 - In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus explains, "The sower sows the word." Water: The Word is described as water, cleansing and nourishing those who receive it. Ephesians 5:26 - Christ cleanses the church "by the washing with water through the word." Mirror: The Word acts as a mirror, revealing one's true spiritual condition and prompting self-examination. James 1:23-25 - It compares someone who hears the Word but doesn't act on it to a person who looks in a mirror and forgets their appearance. Bread/Food: God's Word is likened to sustenance, essential for spiritual life and growth. Matthew 4:4 - Jesus says, "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Honey: The Word is described as sweet, delightful, and desirable. Psalm 119:103 - "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Light: Beyond a lamp, the Word is a broader source of light, illuminating truth and dispelling darkness. Psalm 119:105 - "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Rain and Snow: The Word is compared to precipitation that nourishes the earth, ensuring growth and fruitfulness. Isaiah 55:10-11 - "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven... so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty." Treasure/Gold: The Word is portrayed as precious and valuable, worth more than material wealth. Psalm 19:10 - "They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb." Salt And a few more… These metaphors collectively highlight the multifaceted nature of God's Word—its power, beauty, necessity, and transformative impact on those who engage with it. If you need it, Gods word provides it.
For full episode and all deep dive episodes please subscribe Part one of a two-part deep dive into the grid and how it has quietly shaped our personal and social realities throughout history. From the invention of the brick to the birth of the spreadsheet, tracing the grid's influence across architecture, urban planning, culture, and technology.Starting with the brick-“equal parts mortar and module,” tied to the proportions of the human hand—and follow its logic through systems like the tablet, gridiron city plans (like Mohenjo-daro), maps, musical notation, ledgers, the screen and the moveable type, setting the stage for digital forms to come.Along the way, we talk Le Corbusier, the Swiss grid system of Josef Müller-Brockmann, the design of Instagram, and Lotus 1-2-3. This is a mellow research-based episode on how grids both liberate and constrain the ways we live, think, and create.Cited: Hannah B. Higgins The Grid Book

He knew he loved it from the very first jump, but that didn't keep it from taking quite a while to get into skydiving properly. Learning the lesson that if you're waiting for friends to go for a jump, you could wait a long time, Andy Sbarato had enough waiting, and just went for it. Like a lot of us, skydiving took over pretty damn quickly, but for Andy it also provided real opportunities. Covid for some was a time to really step outside their comfort zones, and with the pressures it provided came about the birth of Option Gravity. Born of skydiving in the Swiss and Italian Alps in 2018, his deep dive into our extreme sport also give him the idea for offering a better option for high quality custom skydiving apparel. Between travel, load organizing, and running his successful company, Andy worked hard to make opportunity out of adversity. It may have started deep in the pandemic and our Lunatic Fringe, but now Andy and Option Gravity pushing full force!

This episode brings together two surveying powerhouses from the great state of Wisconsin - Rich Leaver, LS and Matt O'Rourke, LS - for a deep dive into the future of boundaries (spoiler: they're more important than you think). Rich shares how he went from re-monumenting 3,000 PLS corners in Wisconsin to exploring Switzerland's multi-purpose cadastre system—because why not fix 99% of U.S. surveying problems with chocolate-fueled innovation? Meanwhile, Matt talks about navigating his 24+ years in land surveying, helping a two-person firm grow into a thriving team, and how to keep your cool when dealing with complex right-of-way platting and snowmobiles. Could Swiss-style cadastral systems save U.S. surveyors from a boundary crisis? Rich and Matt say ‘yes'—but it'll take more than chocolate and yodeling to get there! The group tackled bold questions: Should boundaries be classified as critical infrastructure? Are U.S. surveyors ready for a paradigm shift? And what would they say if they only had 60 seconds to pitch cadastral modernization to a governor? (Hint: it involves passion, precision, and maybe a touch of Swiss envy).

Today, we're going to talk about some of the underlying causes of pain, along with the best natural remedies for pain relief. Joint pain and inflammation don't always signify arthritis!t's important to understand that natural joint pain remedies will not work if you continue to consume foods that cause inflammation. To avoid joint pain and inflammation, it's vital to avoid the following foods:•Sugar •High-fructose corn syrup•Seed oils •Gluten •Oxalates•MSG•Maltodextrin•Nightshades (Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes)•Lectins (Beans, peanuts, wheat, soy)Healthy Keto is a great option to help avoid these inflammatory foods! If you're sensitive to oxalates, it may be caused by past antibiotic use. This can make you more susceptible to joint pain, especially when you consume spinach, chocolate, almonds, and Swiss chard. Increasing magnesium intake can help significantly. Add a teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of half water and half coconut milk for the best joint pain remedy. Add a pinch of black pepper to increase absorption by 2000%. You can also add a scoop of collagen powder for even more joint pain relief! This drink is delicious for most people, but you can add a couple drops of liquid stevia if necessary. Drink this daily. It can also be served warm. This drink works anytime, but try drinking it in the morning for pain relief that lasts all day!Turmeric has been shown to have similar effectiveness to ibuprofen and other NSAIDS. If you're taking a turmeric supplement for joint pain relief, take 1000 to 1500 mg daily.Turmeric inhibits at least four major inflammatory pathways. Coconut milk has beneficial properties and also helps with turmeric absorption. Collagen helps build up the joints. Boswellia serrata is also an amazing supplement that research has shown to be as effective as NSAIDS without side effects.

This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! We're into July, and the Tour is about to kick off. The Tour De France is the biggest bike race in the world in terms of exposure and the sheer number of eyeballs watching the action but, at just over 3000k, it's dwarfed by the monster that is the Tour Divide. A much smaller spectacle, with supporters watching dots on a screen rather than glossy TV coverage, but at 4000k in length and the added challenge of racing entirely self supported across the entire USA, The Divide is arguably the toughest race going. If you caught last month's Chronicles, you'll know that Sveino was gearing up to head to the start in Banff, Canada, with 200 or so other crazy riders and tackle this absolute monster of a race. Well, Sveino's back home after having a stab at the Tour Divide and in this month's chronicles ep we're unpacking just what went down along the Continental Divide. Sveino gave it his all, and prepped for this race like he was a full time pro again! But, in the world of bike racing, you can be totally prepared and still get thrown a curveball. In the words of Mike Tyson: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” What happened to Svein out there? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. Sveino, mate, fair play for giving it a crack - what an epic journey. The race was eventually won by Swiss ultra racing legend Robin Gemperle who absolutely smoked the record and finished in 11 days, 19 hours, and 14 minutes. That is ridiculously fast - and self supported, too?! Rather you than me, buddy. Chapeau. Guys, thanks as always for being a Pelo Member. I really hope you enjoy these yarns between me and old Sveino as much as I do. Cheers! Mitch P.S.
