I've heard people call Tony the godfather of Sediment Transport Modeling and - as you'll hear in our conversation - he very well may be the first person to use a computer to answer an engineering scale sediment question.But most people about my age and older, know Tony for developing the first generalized sediment model.  He was part of the original team here at the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) where he developed HEC6, a 1D sediment transport model that was industry standard for decades.Now, if you get a couple of model developers together, we could talk all day about transport equations and algorithms.And we did.  But I am going to turn most of that technical modeling content, into videos to run on the YouTube page and in the RAS manual.This conversation focuses on Tony's insights that I think have the broadest application.Because one of the things that make's Tony's career so interesting, transcends modeling.After Tony worked at HEC, he moved to the Corp's lab in Mississippi  and then started Mobile Boundary Hydraulics,  which was the premier 1D sediment modeling shop for decades.But if you follow the timeline, that means that Tony (who only recently, actually, retired) has been predicting river processes for more than 60 years.He is one of the few people who has seen the end of his 50 year project life predictions.And all numerical modeling is – fundamentally - is exposing your mental models, to quantitative feedback and observational falsification.It's a learning loop with Rivers… …and no one has been working that learning loop longer than Tony.I essentially sit in that seat Tony invited as the sediment modeling specialist here at HEC.  But Tony actually had a more direct influence on me than that.About 20 years ago, when we decided to put 1D sediment transport into HEC-RAS, we got a grant to bring Tony back to HEC and he spent 5 months essentially teaching me how to develop a generalized sediment model.There was a point in my life, where almost everything I knew about sediment came from Tony, and his insights and categories still frame the way I look at rivers.When I first imagined this podcast, it included a conversation with Tony, reproducing some of those formative conversations we had over the years.So in this conversation we talk about the sediment modeling origin story and some of the modeling principals he's famous for but we also just talk about the river processes and projects that built his intuition and/or surprised him over the years.(Photo Credit: Tony on the Arroyo Pasajero – provided by Dr. Ron Copeland) This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.Mike Loretto edited the episode and wrote and performed the music.Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website (which was temporarily down but is back up now):https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcast...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibsonIf you have guest recommendations or feedback you can reach out to me on LinkedIn or ResearchGate or fill out this recommendation and feedback form: https://forms.gle/wWJLVSEYe7S8Cd248

Picture it: Edmonton, 2024, in the middle of a cold snap, but that doesn't mean we are taking time off! We continue our nostalgic tour; first Indy talks Golden Girls, Samantha takes a ride on The Magic School Bus, and we preview next week's watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!   I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa       The Golden Girls is an American sitcom created by Susan Harris that aired on NBC from September 14, 1985, to May 9, 1992, with a total of 180 half-hour episodes, spanning seven seasons. With an ensemble cast starring Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty, the show is about four older women who share a home in Miami, Florida. It was produced by Witt/Thomas/Harris Productions, in association with Touchstone Television. Paul Junger Witt, Tony Thomas, and Harris served as the original executive producers.   The Magic School Bus is an animated educational children's television series, based on the book series of the same name by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. Running originally from 1994 to 1997, the series received critical acclaim for its use of celebrity voice talent and combining entertainment with an educational series. The series stars Lily Tomlin as the voice of Ms. Frizzle. Its theme song is performed by Little Richard.   Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles[a] is a 1990 American superhero action comedy film based on the comic book characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. It is the first film adaptation of the characters and was directed by Steve Barron and written by Todd W. Langen and Bobby Herbeck from a story by Herbeck. It stars Judith Hoag and Elias Koteas with the voices of Brian Tochi, Robbie Rist, Corey Feldman, and Josh Pais.

Join us on a journey through the fascinating world of martial arts with our guest, Mr Tony Thomas, one of the two most senior black belts in South Carolina. Listen in as Tony recounts his inspiring journey that began in 1966, sparked by Bruce Lee's performance in the Green Hornet television program. With no martial arts schools around, he and his friends trained in his backyard and at school with the help of their English teacher, Mr Lucius Fryerson. Mr Thomas' dedication and passion eventually led him to receive a Blackbelt at South Carolina State University. Don't miss our enlightening discussion on the changing dynamics of martial arts practice. Mr Thomas shares how the movie Karate Kid played a significant role in drawing younger people to martial arts, shifting the ratio from 80% adults and 20% children to the opposite. We explore how martial arts can impart respect, discipline, and focus in children, and Mr Thomas' experience as a former school teacher adds another layer to this discussion. We also touch upon the evolution of safety measures in martial arts and his views on this change. The conversation continues as he reflects on his martial arts journey and the various sources of inspiration that have fueled his path. He speaks fondly of his martial arts school that he and his wife established, and the remarkable evolution in the age range of practitioners over the years. Wrapping up our chat, Mr Thomas talks about the importance of timing and entrepreneurial spirit in his journey, and his impending induction into the Hall of Fame. Join us in honoring this martial arts legend as he generously shares his remarkable story.

In this extra-special 20th Century Fox 1943 episode, we stare agog at a couple of dazzling musicals: Stormy Weather, whose all-Black cast is headlined by Bill Robinson and Lena Horne and boasts an embarrassment of geniuses; and Busby Berkeley's The Gang's All Here, a Technicolor psychedelic extravaganza that's the pinnacle of Fox's signature variety-style musical. We try to sketch out some of the complex representational issues attending Stormy Weather, and our reasons for thinking that the movie itself has an awareness of them and is attempting to be progressive and sophisticated in certain ways. Turning to The Gang's All Here, we focus on its exhibition of sometimes jarring self-reflexivity and the way it perfects the typical romantic and comedic storylines of this era of Fox musical. But if all of that sounds too dryly academic, don't be afraid - we want to play!   Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      STORMY WEATHER [dir. Andrew L. Stone] 0h 51m 53s:      THE GANG'S ALL HERE [dir.

Lean Into The Messy Ep. 11 | Tony Thomas by Cedar Valley Church

TONY THOMAS has been a journalist in Australia since 1958 when he went straight from school at 18 to The West Australian newspaper, doing news and light features. He concurrently studied literature at university for eight years. In 1971 he switched to Economics coverage in the federal press gallery in Canberra, and a decade later he moved to Melbourne writing for the magazine Business Review Weekly for 20 years. He retired from paid journalism in 2001 but continues writing for the right-of-centre blog Quadrant Online. In the past ten years his output there has been 450-plus essays totalling about a million words. All up he's been reporting for 65 years. He's authored close to a dozen books on anthropology, business, history, current affairs and climate, including five collections of his Quadrant essays in the past six years. See https://www.connorcourtpublishing.com.au/Tony-Thomas_bymfg_59-0-1.html Tony's style is  forensic and often humorous. He figures the most effective weapon against climate  cultists is to ridicule them via their own overblown words and nonsense — with academics as one of his favourite targets. He continues to be amazed at how much incriminating material the climate cultists publish to their own detriment. Tony turns 83 in June 2023 but has still not reached Shakespeare's finale of "second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.” Preferred pronouns: Ze, Hir, Zir. “Ze is a writer and wrote that book zirself. Those ideas are zirs. I like both zir and zir ideas.” Tony's Quadrant work: https://quadrant.org.au/?s=%22tony+thomas%22 Thomas mentioned these Arizona State climate cult prizes: https://news.asu.edu/20220412-creativity-asu-climate-narratives-prize-announces-inaugural-awardees 00:00 Introduction 01:14 Overblown nonsense 04:37 Censorship Industrial Complex 05:51 BBC Verify 06:54 28Gate 08:16 Trusted News Initiative 09:45 Climate Council 15:35 Covering Climate Now 24:03 Earth Journalism Network 27:43 Huge grid problems in South Africa 29:15 News Guard 31:21 Science Feedback 36:53 Q and A —— https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 Summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries Tom Nelson's Twitter: https://twitter.com/tan123 Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2022/03/about-me-tom-nelson.html Notes for climate skeptics: https://tomn.substack.com/p/notes-for-climate-skeptics ClimateGate emails: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/p/climategate_05.html

Joining us on this special bonus edition of The Laurel & Hardy Blogcast is a man who has had a number of guises in his life, including as an actor, singer, and playwright, and to that list, he can now add the title author. In 2021, he published an extensive biography of music hall impresario, Fred Karno, entitled Fred Karno: The Legend Behind the Laughter. No discussion of Stan Laurel, Laurel and Hardy – or comedy in its wider sense can be complete without recognising the impact of Fred Karno, and so it is with great pleasure that we welcome on to Episode 23, author, David Crump. On the show, Patrick chats to David about his own background before discussing the life and career of Fred Karno, with a specific focus on Karno's involvement with Stan Laurel and later, about his brief spell working at the Hal Roach Studios. As part of the show, we also hear a couple of extracts from two interviews with Stan Laurel, held in the late 1950s, in which Stan talks about joining the Karno troupe and his tour of the vaudeville circuits of the USA. Episode 23 also sees the welcome return of the infamous ‘Atoll Question – but which items will David choose to with him onto his desert island? The interviews sampled in this episode are: 1) Stan Laurel interviewed by Arthur B. Freidman in 1957 2) Stan Laurel interviewed by Tony Thomas in 1959 To purchase a copy of Fred Karno: The Legend Behind the Laughter, by David Crump, use my affiliate link here: https://amzn.to/3aeW10h To join the ‘Blog-Heads' Facebook Community, click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2920310948018755 For more information about The Laurel & Hardy Blog, click here: https://laurel-and-hardy-blog.com/ To purchase CDs of the Beau Hunks Orchestra's music contained in these podcasts, click here: https://amzn.to/2CgeCbK

This week, Tony take the opportunity to bust a number of myths surrounding pensions - myths that may be holding you back from making informed decisions - so as to help you make more robust plans for the future ahead of you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The state pension is topped up by the additional state pension, which requires you to have at least 35 years on your national insurance records or contribution history. When it comes to employer pensions, your employer is usually required to pay a minimum of 3% of your salary into your pension, and you must also pay a minimum of 5% into the pension, too. A common myth is that annuities are outdated. However, annuities are still very much active, and can be a perfect solution for some based upon their current circumstances. BEST MOMENTS 'Pension legislation is extremely complex and it's not realistic to expect everyone to understand it completely' 'It's vitally important for you to put aside a portion of your earnings to create a pension pot' VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth ABOUT THE HOST Tony Thomas is a published author, one of the top financial advisers in the UK voted for by his clients, the first Chartered Financial Planner in the UK, Independent Financial Adviser, Mentor, Trainer.

KEY TAKEAWAYS When you reach the age of 55, you can access your pension pot. You can take some, or all. Some will be tax-free, but the rest will be taxable.

KEY TAKEAWAYS If you've been saving into a pension throughout your life, you should be allowed to feel confident about the future you've been saving for.

Tony discusses the ways in which retirement plans have changed, how best to ensure that your future is taken care of, and how the later chapters in our lives will look different in years to come. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's always important to consider that retirement affects not just ourselves, but those around us - from children to spouses. All plans should be made with not just ourselves in mind. The purpose of a pension is to provide us with enough to live on after our working years, but this has changed due to longer life expectancies, less generous schemes and a lack of understanding. A survey of people aged between 55 and 64 found that 25% of the age group only had enough in savings to last them ten years. Make realistic budgets now and identify any shortfalls. This will allow you to adjust accordingly and ensure we are safer in the future. BEST MOMENTS 'There is no one-size-fits-all approach' 'There is no fixed path to retirement, or finite end' 'Making the right choices now can make a big difference to how much money you have in the future' 'This will give you peace of mind that you're on the right track' VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth Sign Up Today For Access TT Wealth's Bi Monthly Money Guides & Tips at https://ttwealth.co.uk/latest-newsletter/ Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth ABOUT THE HOST Tony Thomas is a published author, one of the top financial advisers in the UK voted for by his clients, the first Chartered Financial Planner in the UK, Independent Financial Adviser, Mentor, Trainer.

This week, Tony talks you through the six principles of investing, designed to help you put aside money in order to help with your future, and to ensure that your money works effectively for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creating and maintaining the right investment strategy plays a vital role in securing your financial future. Establish your investment objectives first of all, and base them on your financial goals for the future. A sound financial plan will ensure that you don't simply have to hope for the best. Cash is not necessarily king. Inflation is likely to eat away at your savings, so diversify your investment classes and make your money work harder.

Those who break the mold often have a different perspective when it comes to helping others. They recognise the importance of using their position to help other ascend in life. We must trust our instincts when it comes to our direction. If the organisation to which we belong holds no opportunities, then we should not fear looking elsewhere for the next run to success.

Jeff talks to Tony about his business journey, Coinpass as a platform, and how you can invest in cryptocurrency in a safe and secure way. KEY TAKEAWAYS The world of cryptocurrency has changed dramatically. The UI involved is becoming far simpler to navigate, and risks can be mitigated if guidance is followed. Crypto services can stand out to their client base through customer service. Providing real time human interaction is a true differentiator. People want to feel supported at all times. A crypto wallet contains a public address, which is like a card number in the real world. A private key is also attached, which is akin to the lesser-known details required in order to make transactions of any kind.

Tony is joined by Morgana Rae, an international best-selling author, mentor and coach, who specialises in helping others to better understand and cultivate their relationship with money. Morgana talks about her background and how she developed her own relationship with money, as well as the importance of polarity when it comes to creating dramatic change in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Failure and struggle aren't always a dead end. Sometimes they point us towards other pathways and opportunities that can lead to success Starting at our lowest, darkest points, makes the gains so much more precious and valuable. Polarity provides perspective. To be an effective coach, we must believe in the person we're coaching - in their capability and their maturity. Once we believe, we must not undervalue the gains that we can bring. When it comes to money, or indeed love, we must take time out regularly in order to realign with these things and hold them as sacred in our lives. BEST MOMENTS 'If you've been failing at other stuff, then perhaps it's because you've been chosen to birth something new' 'I call this alchemy' 'That is the magic of polarity' 'It's more difficult to create dramatic change when you're content' VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth ABOUT THE GUEST MORGANA RAE is a 20-time international #1 best selling author and mentor coach, and she is regarded to be the world’s #1 authority on relationship with money.

Brendan joins Tony to talk about how Passiv has grown into a billion-dollar company, and the ways in which its tools and features can help you to grow your own wealth through careful management and planning. KEY TAKEAWAYS Serving a need and fulfilling a requirement, is the best way to go about deciding the direction for your business idea. Managing wealth is not as simple as just storing in a bank and hoping for the best. It requires carefully balanced adjustments so as to maximise your wealth's potential on a day-to-day basis. Security is of paramount concern for all users. This is why Passiv only uses brokers who have open APIs. This means that users retain full control at all times. Passiv merely acts as a "mirror image". Tools such as Passiv can teach people to become far more adept at financial planning and management, by incrementally teaching them how best to act, and which decisions are the best. BEST MOMENTS 'We're helping a lot of self-directed investors manage their accounts' 'It's not just about knowing the market' 'This facilitates a connection between two platforms' 'This is about a journey for your investors' VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth ABOUT THE GUEST Brendan is the co-founder of https://passiv.com/tonytalks, a portfolio management tool that's designed to help self-directed investors manage and grow their wealth. Users can build their own personalized indexes, robo-advisory services and be their household's asset manager. Passiv manages over 20k accounts on their platform and is on track to hit $1 billion in assets by April. Background wise, Brendan is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, a small twin island in the Caribbean. He migrated to Canada with the goal of becoming an entrepreneur. He worked in tech for a few years to learn how large tech organizations were run. His interest in entrepreneurship stemmed from being passionate about attaining financial independence and this is what led him to founding a fintech company.

This week, Tony talks to Jyotsna Ramachandran, the founder of Happy Self-Publishing and Author Success Academy, both devoted to helping coaches, speaker and entrepreneurs to amplify their message by creating books that land with impact. Jyotsna discusses the ways in which she has scaled and grown her business model, and the ways in which writing and publishing can energise entrepreneurs and add credibility to any business message. KEY TAKEAWAYS The great entrepreneurs are the ones who spot the hole in the market and fill that missing piece with an idea that helps others to achieve their ambitions. Ghost writers are far more talented than many give credit for. They take a subject and can write an interesting text around it. But they are not experts. Angel writers are similar to ghost writers, but also have a knowledge of the subject on which they are writing, having researched themselves and spent time in the field. Writing a book adds credibility to your brand, and helps to establish you as an authoritative voice in your sector. BEST MOMENTS 'The model that I started out with is very different to the one I have today' 'An Impact Amplifier is a six-month journey with us' 'These are people who can write a book on any topic!' 'The next time anyone tells you they're a "best-seller" - ask them which list...?'

We are passionate about helping purpose-driven coaches, speakers, and entrepreneurs to amplify their message by authoring a book so they can grow their business and leave a legacy. After working with over 500 authors from 35 countries, I’ve been able to simplify the process and show you the easiest and fastest way to publish your book. It doesn’t matter at what stage of your author journey you are currently - I have the tools & resources to take you to the next step and help you publish a world-class book. My journey towards freedom began when I decided never to be an employee ever again. I tried out various businesses to support my decision- started a staff recruitment agency, became a franchisee of a chocolate brand, did freelance web designing, etc. The arrival of my daughter Advika was the turning point in my life. I realized during my maternity break that none of my businesses were generating income if I was not actively working. I was actually self-employed, I was not a business owner. I had not built in the right systems to automate my businesses. I understood that in order to enjoy true freedom I needed to create passive income streams. The best way to do that was to start online businesses. I now run a book publishing company Happy Self Publishing and coach purpose-driven individuals on how they too can convert their passion into an online business. Through my books and blog, I share all the tools and strategies that have helped me transform myself from an employee to an entrepreneur, which I'm sure will help you too.

This week, Tony talks to Brian Dress, the Director of Research at Left Brain, a wealth management firm providing financial planning and investment advice, who currently service approximately 200 clients and manage over $167.5 million in assets. Brian joins the show to talk about financial literacy and education, how to manage money effectively, and ensure that our financial goals are met. KEY TAKEAWAYS We must reassess and re-evaluate our attitude towards financial risks. Often we are better equipped to take risks than we believe. It all begins with education. Wealth management is built upon a simple formula - how much can you save, what are your goals, and what can you generate in investment returns? A risk management process is a research process. It is about visibility and understanding the ways in which a company is operating. It's always wise to have some liquid cash available so that opportunities can be seized upon in the moment, which can deliver large rewards in a small amount of time. BEST MOMENTS 'You have the ability to take more risks than you think' 'The core of what people ask us to do as advisors, is plan their financial life, going forwards' 'We're looking for category defining companies, or category killers' 'You get that feedback, the first time you jump in and take that risk' VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth Brian Dress LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/briandress/ Left Brain - www.leftbrainir.com ABOUT THE HOST Tony Thomas is a published author, one of the top financial advisers in the UK voted for by his clients, the first Chartered Financial Planner in the UK, Independent Financial Adviser, Mentor, Trainer.
