Are LED lights draining your mitochondria, disrupting your sleep, and disconnecting you from the deeper truth of who you are?Josh Trent welcomes Brian Richards to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 806, to reveal why blue light and LEDs stress the body and keep people disconnected, how incandescent and full-spectrum red light restore mitochondrial function and emotional resilience, why light acts as food and the currency of the universe, and how reclaiming the right relationship with light may be one of the fastest ways to heal the body, clear trapped emotions, and remember your true nature.
To the eye alone, the brightest star in the night sky is Sirius, the leading light of Canis Major, the big dog. It’s well up in the south at nightfall – a brilliant beacon less than nine light-years away. If we could shift the sensitivity of our eyes to shorter wavelengths, the brightest star would appear a little below Sirius. Adhara is already the second-brightest star in the constellation. But it produces most of its energy in the extreme ultraviolet – wavelengths that are far too short to see with the human eye. At those wavelengths, Adhara would be the brightest object in the entire night sky. The star is an ultraviolet powerhouse because it’s tens of thousands of degrees hotter than the Sun. The hotter an object, the more U-V it produces. And Adhara is huge – more than 10 times the Sun’s diameter. So there’s a lot of real estate for beaming its radiation into space. The U-V zaps molecules of gas and dust anywhere close to the star, splitting them apart and making them glow. But the star has been around long enough that it’s already cleared out most of the space around it. More than four million years ago, Adhara was much closer to the Sun than it is today. That made it the brightest star at visible wavelengths as well. It shined as brightly as Venus, the morning or evening star. But Adhara’s motion through the galaxy has carried the star much farther from us – allowing Sirius to outshine this sizzling star. Script by Damond Benningfield
Inspired by a recent guest instructor at NBSS, Jackson wanted to talk about paints and finishes. Richard has a great perspective because of his extensive paint experience. Brent points out that because of UV, there is a big difference in finishes in Texas vs Massachusetts.
„Uvěření je pocit, že si oddychneš, že je všechno v pořádku. Jakmile toto uvěření nastane, tak to je vlastně šamanský proces, a v té chvíli jsi zachráněn. Začínáš být velmi autentický, svobodný, pravdivý – a ve skutečnosti vypadáš stále stejně,“ říká lektor a průvodce rozšířeným vědomím Maroš Vago v rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 2. díl, 13.03.2026, www.RadioUniversum.cz
Host Eric Triplet advocates for modern safety helmets as a superior alternative to traditional hard hats for contractors. The discussion highlights how new technology featuring chin straps and advanced impact-absorbing materials offers significantly better protection against brain injuries and falls. James from Caco America explains that these helmets are designed to be cooler and more versatile than older models, accommodating various job site accessories. While some workers resist the change due to aesthetics or comfort, the sources emphasize that safety and longevity are more important than tradition. Key Takeaways: Switch to modern safety helmets with chin straps to ensure your head protection stays in place during falls or unexpected impacts. Choose Type 2 protectors instead of traditional hard hats to provide safety for the front, back, and sides of your head rather than just the top. Replace your safety helmets every two to three years to prevent the degradation of protective materials caused by constant UV exposure. Opt for helmets that use advanced cooling technologies rather than styrofoam insulation to significantly reduce heat stress while working outdoors. Prioritize long-term health and the goal of returning home to your family over following old traditions or worrying about looking cool on the job site.
A golf industry rivalry has teed off in court. TaylorMade has sued competitor Callaway, alleging that sales representatives, ambassadors, and influencers conducted UV-light demonstrations suggesting TaylorMade golf balls had paint imperfections that could cause poor performance — even calling them “mud balls.” TaylorMade argues the demonstrations are misleading and unrelated to real-world performance, claiming the visual differences simply reflect cosmetic additives like UV brighteners rather than quality or flight characteristics. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Gonzalo E. Mon.

Science class meets style column this week on Wisdom From the Wardrobe. We kick things off with Bec's In the News, where she introduces a fascinating innovation in fashion technology: a chalk-based mineral polymer coating that blocks UV and infrared radiation and can cool fabrics up to eight degrees. That's right, a fabric finish designed to literally keep you cooler. When science and style collide, we're paying attention. From there, we head straight to the runways to unpack the Spring Summer 2026 fashion trends, and let's just say the designers did not come to whisper. This season is playing with proportion, personality, and a healthy dose of drama. Voluminous silhouettes are expanding around the hips, minis are confidently reclaiming leg day, and bold primary colors are clashing in joyful technicolor moments that feel more playground than palette. There's fringe with a sporty edge, draped fabrics creating movement and ease, and statement jewels escaping the eveningwear drawer to sparkle unapologetically in broad daylight. Along the way we also discussed the ongoing runway romance with midriff-baring suiting (a look some of us may admire more than adopt), the enduring power of sharp tailoring, and the inevitable return of florals for spring, this time revived from archival prints and given a fresh artistic twist. In other words, the Spring Summer 2026 style trends are bold, expressive, occasionally baffling, and undeniably fun to talk about. As always, we sort through what works on the runway, what might actually work in a real-life wardrobe, and which trends might be best appreciated from the comfort of a front-row opinion. Because fashion may change every season, but a good style conversation never goes out of fashion.
Daan Hoek en Thijs Kea ontwikkelden met UV-Smart een revolutionaire technologie die medische apparaten veel sneller reinigt. Ze hebben net een FDA-ticket voor de Amerikaanse markt in handen gekregen.Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ De weg naar goedkeuring voor de Amerikaanse markt. ☑️ Hoe je een hardware-scale-up financiert en internationaal uitrolt.☑️ Nieuwe tool van Antrophic disrupt hele beroepsgroepenDe zorgsector staat wereldwijd onder enorme druk door personeelstekorten en stijgende kosten. Daan Hoek en Thijs Kea van UV Smart bedachten een nieuwe manier om gebruikte instrumenten te reinigen. Hun D60-systeem desinfecteert medische apparatuur negen keer sneller dan de traditionele methoden en dat zonder het gebruik van chemicaliën. Ze maken hiervoor gebruik van UV-licht. Dit licht dringt door in de cellen van bacteriën, virussen en schimmels en vernietigt hun DNA of RNA. Hierdoor kunnen ze zich niet meer vermenigvuldigen en gaan ze dood.

Rashes, redness, and flare-ups- if you struggle with Rosacea, you'll know exactly what we're talking about. Other symptoms of Rosacea are characterized by visible blood vessels, pus-filled pink spots, and swelling. While most people who have this condition are genetically susceptible to it, there are various elements that may also play a part. Factors such as being exposed to UV radiation or extreme temperatures are a few examples. To help you manage these symptoms, I'll be sharing 5 expert tips. Tune into this Five Min Friday to find out what they are!
This conversation was originally released in June of 2023. Today we return to the semiconductor value chain with one of the most important companies in modern technology: ASML. The company began life as an unwanted spin-out from Philips with no real product and little expectation of success. Today, it builds the only machines capable of manufacturing the most advanced chips in the world. To break down ASML, I'm joined by Tom Walsh, portfolio manager at Baillie Gifford. Tom walks through how photolithography works, what's happening inside an extreme ultraviolet machine, and how a small Dutch company came to dominate one of the most complex technologies ever built. This breakdown pairs very well with our breakdowns on AMD, Qualcomm and Cadence. And I'd also highlight the Founders Podcast episode #8 on the Intel Trinity. Please enjoy this breakdown of ASML.

Did you know that consuming alcohol, even casually, is classified in the same cancer risk category as tobacco and asbestos? Today's conversation is all about the alcohol-cancer connection, the sober curious movement, and how we can make informed choices about our health.On Salad With a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes Cecily Mak, a former Silicon Valley attorney, breast cancer survivor, and author of Undimmed, for a conversation that is equal parts eye-opening science and deeply personal storytelling. Cecily shares how losing her mother to esophageal cancer and later facing her own breast cancer diagnosis led her to uncover this critical, under-discussed connection between alcohol and cancer risk, and what all of us can do with that information today.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ The five distinct biological mechanisms that directly link alcohol and cancer.✅ How the alcohol industry has followed a playbook similar to Big Tobacco, suppressing updates to alcohol labeling laws and lobbying against stronger public health disclosures for decades.✅ What the sober curious movement looks like beyond the AA model and how alcohol moderation rather than full abstinence can still make a meaningful, measurable difference in your long-term health.✅ How Cecily Mak's Eight Awarenesses framework helps individuals break free from unwanted habits by building agency, self-compassion, and intentional choice rather than relying on willpower or labels.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Privátní investiční poradce Marek Odehnal vysvětluje, že umělá inteligence dnes podle něj může zvládnout část technických kroků jako návrh základního portfolia, rešerše nebo rebalancování, ale nezná osobní kontext investora. Podle něj rozhoduje hlavně lidský faktor v krizích, kdy je potřeba udržet strategii, zvládat emoce a opírat se o dlouhodobou důvěru. Uvádí, že průměrní samoinvestoři často nedosáhnou ani tržního průměru a že významná část přidané hodnoty poradce je behaviorální coaching. Při výběru poradce doporučuje ověřit odbornost, dát pozor na provizní střet zájmů a zvolit partnera s vhodným honorářovým modelem i osobní vyzrálostí, protože pro podnikatele jde hlavně o outsourcing času a klidu.

In this special live broadcast from the WWETT Show 2026 in Indianapolis, host Suzan Chin-Taylor sits down with Drew Lewis of Reline America to debunk the myth that UV-GRP (Ultraviolet Glass Reinforced Pipe) is a "new" technology. We discussed in this episode the 40-year history of the industry, the importance of domestic manufacturing, and Reline America's commitment to being a "one-stop shop" for contractors.Drew also unveils a game-changing piece of equipment: a new compact UV curing unit designed to provide an affordable entry point for smaller contractors looking to enter the UV lining market. As the wastewater industry continues to evolve, the shift toward UV-cured solutions is becoming more pronounced, and Reline America is leading the way with innovative equipment and comprehensive support.Key Takeaways- A Proven History: UV-GRP technology is not new; it dates back to the mid-1980s, with the first installations occurring in Sweden around 1985.- The Power of Support: Reline America focuses on "hand-holding" support and onsite technicians to ensure contractor success rather than just selling equipment.- Innovation for All: A new compact unit reduces the cost of entry from nearly $900,000 to under $300,000, making UV lining accessible to a wider range of businesses.- Education as a Mission: With 10% to 15% annual growth, ongoing education is vital for asset owners and engineers to properly write specifications for UV projects.- Quality Control Standards: As an ISO 9001 certified facility, Reline America ensures every liner meets strict ASTM specifications through rigorous quality control.The conversation highlights how the wastewater industry is rapidly adopting UV-cured solutions for pipe rehabilitation. By lowering the financial barrier to entry with compact equipment and providing domestic manufacturing with high-quality standards, the industry is becoming more inclusive for smaller contractors while maintaining rigorous quality through ISO and ASTM standards.Connect With Drew Lewis:Reline AmericaEmail: alewis@relineamerica.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drew-l-b4709b243 Website: relineamerica.comI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#WWETT2026 #UVGRP #TrenchlessTechnology #PipeRehabilitation #WastewaterManagement #RelineAmerica #SmellsLikeMoney #InfrastructureInnovation #UVLining #ContractorSupport

THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update Agency Update Agency Update Agency Update Preparedness. Austin Terrorist Attacks. WLS IS LIFESTYLE GOING BALLISTIC USA Today Warns on Gun Violence Archive Mass Shooting Data Disputes (Savage) The article critiques the Gun Violence Archive (GVA) definition of mass shootings as four or more people injured or killed (excluding shooter), which includes gang, drug, and domestic incidents, contrasting with the FBI's narrower focus on mass killings with four or more deaths. GVA reports inflated figures like 656 mass shootings in 2023 and 417 in 2019, versus FBI's 30 for 2019, sourced from media and social media. USA Today notes these numbers may differ from FBI/CDC data and could be challenged, amid criticisms of media misuse for anti-gun narratives. Illinois v. Joel Fernandez: SWAT Arrest for Possessing 38 Rounds of Ammo Without FOID Card (Savage) Joel Fernandez, a 20-year-old in Lake in the Hills, Illinois, was arrested by SWAT and charged with possessing 38 rounds of ammunition without a valid Firearms Owner ID (FOID) card. The incident involved a joint investigation leading to a search warrant, shelter-in-place order, and preschool lockdown. Under Illinois law, possessing even a single round without a FOID card is a serious crime. New York Senate Bill 362: Proposed 10-Day Waiting Period for Gun Purchases (Savage) New York lawmakers have introduced Senate Bill 362, mandating a 10-day waiting period for firearm purchases from dealers after passing the national instant criminal background check and completing Form 4473. The bill applies to lawful citizens in New York and is criticized as an unnecessary delay on Second Amendment rights with no proven public safety benefits. Opponents, including the NRA-ILA, argue it fails to reduce suicides, homicides, or mass shootings and may endanger those needing immediate self-defense. Roberts v. ATF: Third Lawsuit Challenging NFA Constitutionality (Savage) The American Suppressor Association Foundation and other 2A groups filed Roberts v. ATF in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, challenging the National Firearms Act's registration regime for suppressors and short-barreled firearms. The suit argues that with the $200 excise tax eliminated, the remaining registration lacks justification as a revenue measure per Sonzinsky v. United States. It joins similar challenges in Brown v. ATF and Jensen v. ATF. U.S. v. Hemani: Supreme Court Case on Section 922(g)(3) Firearm Ban for Unlawful Drug Users (Savage) The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on March 2, 2026, in U.S. v. Hemani, challenging the constitutionality of Section 922(g)(3), which prohibits firearm possession by ‘unlawful' drug users. The case involves federal defendant Ali Danial Hemani, who admitted to regular marijuana use while possessing a firearm. Circuit courts are split on the law's validity under the Second Amendment. FBI on Austin Mass Shooting: Evidence Indicates Potential Nexus to Terrorism (Savage) The Austin mass shooting occurred at Buford's Backyard Beer Garden on Sixth Street near the University of Texas campus, where an unidentified suspect drove an SUV to the scene, fired a pistol at patrons, and was killed by Austin police less than one minute later. The FBI, assisting the Austin Police Department, stated evidence on the subject and in his vehicle, including a Koran, indicates a potential nexus to terrorism, though motivation remains undetermined. Three people were killed including the shooter, with 17 injured and 14 hospitalized. REVIEWS Review: Lord Norvell 5 stars. For the Love of god please get rid of Savage. He is unbearable and ruins the show. I dont mean this jokingly seriously I have been listening for many uears and i had to quit because I cant stand listening to him talk. He cannot pronounce any words and sounds like his mouth is full of cum . You have him reading the news which is absolutely retarded and i have to shut it off even though I want to actually hear the news. His stupid personality is fucking lame and he just fucking runins everything. I loved the show so.much more when he was gone. Review: Nick Kerr five squares for the stranger things heavy DT episode. it really helped humanize jeremy to hear him let his feminine side roar like katy perry riding a flaming pegasus into a crabs vagina…but also kind of sad, because you could tell he wished he had the courage to come out in dramatic fashion like that kid on the show. Review: Half-rican 5 stars. Pretty decent cast all around. Shawn is loosing weight, and will probably end up with saggy skin covering up his ssb like a set of old lady meat curtains. Show sucked when Savage was gone. I missed us both hearing or reading the news for the first time live on the show, Then there is Nick. if I could perform a miracle I would swap his butthole with Aaron's . I don't know if it would be an improvement. And that just leaves Jermey (say it like a Mexcian). Good old Jermey Meno-Pozderac. Some people say he is a cunt, that would explain how all those shirts look like they have a yeast infection. Review: Sigger Jim Trigger Warning! When talking about gunpowder, these racists used the term “black” powder. This is incredibly outdated and hurtful.If you are not willing to use the term “African American Powder” or “Powder of Color” then maybe you shouldn't have a gun podcast. 5 stars Before we let you go – JOIN GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA We'd love if you supported the show, join Agency 171 at agency171.com.

Is raw milk actually safe—and could new technology change everything we thought we knew? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Bob Comstock, founder and CEO of Tamarack Biotics, to break down the growing debate around raw milk, its health benefits, and the real risks consumers need to understand. While raw milk has long been praised for its immune-boosting and allergy-fighting properties, it also carries serious safety concerns due to harmful bacteria. So is there a way to get the benefits without the danger? Bob Comstock explains how UV pasteurization—a groundbreaking, FDA-reviewed technology—can eliminate pathogens while preserving the bioactive nutrients that traditional heat pasteurization destroys. The result? A potential future where milk supports stronger immune systems, improved gut health, and even reduced chronic disease risk. In this episode, Tudor and Bob discuss: The truth about raw milk: benefits vs. risks How UV pasteurization works (and why it’s different) The connection between dairy, gut health, and chronic disease New research on allergies, immune function, and nutrition What FDA approval means—and how soon this could hit store shelves Why this innovation could reshape food, healthcare, and the dairy industry From parents concerned about food safety to anyone interested in nutrition and health policy, this is a fascinating look at how “food as medicine” could become reality.
Carlos Lopez, commercial director of Spring Genetics in Miami, Fla., explains the company's history, its focus on growth and disease resistance, and the importance of biosecurity. He details the facility's operations, including the use of UV-treated water, restricted access, and health surveillance. He also offers his thoughts on tilapia aquaculture's potential to expand in the U.S. market, and the potential for future technological advancements in production.

V této speciální epizodě se zamýšlím nad tématy, která aktuálně hýbou světem — od článku „Something Big is Happening" Matta Shumera, který za první týden četlo přes 85 milionů lidí, přes truchlení programátorů až po nadšené předpovědi o tom, jak AI bude pracovat za nás — a my budeme mít konečně čas žít. Přidávám vlastní pohled, zkušenosti z praxe v Česku a cestu, jak z toho vytěžit maximum.Co mají tyto předpovědi společného? V čem se liší? A co z toho vyplývá pro vás?Probírám, proč je akcelerace AI reálná a bezprecedentní, jak se formují dva paralelní světy — lidí, kteří AI využívají, a těch, kteří ne, proč je agency nejdůležitější dovedností budoucnosti, kde leží tři obrovské příležitosti a co konkrétně dělat už dneska.Pusťte si to, zamyslete se, kde se nacházíte právě vy — a co udělat proto, abyste tuto příležitost dokázali využít ve svůj prospěch.F.PS: Podcast podporuje program Future AI Leader 2026. Deset týdnů, během kterých se naučíte dokonale využívat AI. Takto jej popisuje Martin Rosa, jeden z účastníků minulého běhu:„Uvědomíte si, že děláte násobně více věcí za násobně méně času, přitom s pocitem naprostého nadšení a optimismu. A co je nejdůležitější — o všem přemýšlíte úplně jinak.

Sunlight, strength, and shelf life decide whether your chlorine dollars deliver crystal water or fade by Friday. We unpack the real-world playbook for using liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) as a primary sanitizer—what it is, how strong it should be, and why pairing it with the right stabilizer keeps free chlorine steady all week.We start by clarifying the difference between commercial-grade liquid chlorine at 10 to 12.5 percent and household bleach at 5 to 8.25 percent. Then we get practical: how regional supply chains affect price and potency, why UV burns through unstabilized chlorine without 30 to 80 ppm of cyanuric acid, and how much FC you can expect to lose per day under ideal conditions. If you've ever shocked to 10 ppm and returned to a near-empty pool a week later, this explains it.From there, we map clean strategies for pros and homeowners. Learn the advantages of using fresh liquid chlorine for fast, residue-free shock and algae control, plus where cal hypo and dichlor fit—and how their byproducts (calcium and stabilizer) change water balance over time. We show why sodium is the least disruptive contributor to TDS and how to handle saltwater pools when the cell is down. You'll get clear storage guidelines to protect strength, buying tips to avoid old stock, and a simple hybrid plan: dose with liquid for control and use a few trichlor tablets to bridge the days between visits without spiking CYA.• what sodium hypochlorite is and how it compares to bleach• commercial strength vs household strength and why potency matters• regional pricing, availability, and distribution effects• unstabilized chlorine behavior and required CYA range• weekly service limits and why chlorine fades between visits• supplementing with trichlor tablets or a liquid feeder• pros and cons vs cal hypo and dichlor byproducts• shelf-life loss, storage best practice, and buying fresh• algae control, shock tactics, and quick cleanup use cases• the trichlor plus liquid approach to control CYASend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

D is for Colora-DOors :)From cave entrances and grand hotel thresholds to hot springs and historic streets, we explore the literal and metaphorical doors of Glenwood Springs—then bring it home with a master craftsman who's turning a door into a table and inspiring new life in our own 1916 fixer-upper.MENTIONED in this episode:visitglenwood.comhttps://www.glenwoodcaverns.comspeakeagle.comConnect with Skip Ralls / Mindscape Metal Works:• Facebook: Skip.Ralls• Facebook: Mindscape Metal Works• LinkedIn: Skip Ralls• Web: Mindscapemetalworks.artMindscapemetalworks@gmail.comSome places don't just welcome you in—they change the way you walk back out. Glenwood Springs did that to us. We crossed grand hotel thresholds with presidential lore, ducked into vapor caves that once drew visitors just to see Edison bulbs glow, and rode a gondola to a mountaintop park where a gravity coaster let us choose our own speed. Between the laughter and the chill on our gloves, we kept circling the same idea: travel is a series of doors, and every one of them opens something new.We sit down with Lisa Langer from Visit Glenwood Springs to map the town's origin story—rivers rerouted to cradle mineral waters, a “Grand Dome of the Rockies” built to court the world, and the curious current that connects hot springs, rail lines, and resistance. The King's Row cavern tour turns geology into theater: 3,000 formations, a UV-lit shimmer, and the slow patience of water shaping a room over thousands of years. A muddy hike to Doc Holliday's memorial adds grit and myth, while Hotel Colorado's corridors layer in Roosevelt's balcony speeches, Al Capone's retreats, and the enduring legend of a certain teddy bear.Then we bring the theme home, literally. Our friend, master blacksmith and metal artist Skip Rawls, invites us into his forge where 1,800 degrees turns stubborn metal into meaning. He shows us how a weathered oak door becomes a dining table—steel-banded edges, hand-driven rivets, offset legs that make your eyes pause. Art, he says, is a doorway you want to open. From large-scale public works to custom staircases and furniture, Skip's process is a study in trust, failure as feedback, and the joy of building pieces that people gather around for years.We wrap with simple, practical ways to make your own thresholds speak: clear the path, warm the light, add something living, create a pause point, and let a single intentional detail set the tone. Ready to step through a new door this week—maybe even build one? Press play, travel with us from caves to coasters to the forge, and tell us which threshold you're opening next.

Chlorine keeps vanishing, the water looks fine, and your test kit keeps gaslighting you. We've all been there, and the fix isn't “just add more.” I walk through the real reasons a chlorine pool refuses to hold a residual and the exact order to solve them: restore flow, clear the water, set cyanuric acid in the sweet spot, and only then fine-tune sanitizer. You'll hear why torn DE grids, clogged cartridges, and starved runtime quietly turn your pool into a chlorine sink — and how a simple filter service can flip the script in 24 hours.From there, we get into water quality and chlorine demand. Cloudy pools devour sanitizer until you shock, circulate, and clean the filter repeatedly. I unpack the CYA puzzle in plain language: too little and UV burns chlorine off by lunch, too much and chlorine goes sluggish. Using the 7.5 percent rule, we translate cyanuric acid numbers into real free chlorine targets, show when tablets push you past the line, and explain why a partial drain beats chasing a residual that won't stick. We also spotlight the sneaky players: early-stage algae you can feel but not see, high bather load, phosphates that feed blooms, and nitrates that all but force a refill.Finally, we cover real-world diagnostics that save time and chemicals. Learn the signs of a leak that keeps diluting your pool, why UV index changes how you plan runtime, and when to test for phosphates or nitrates before you waste another gallon of liquid chlorine. • poor filtration and weak circulation causing rapid chlorine loss• cloudy or green water driving extreme chlorine demand• shock, continuous run, and filter cleaning restoring clarity• cyanuric acid sweet spot and 7.5 percent rule• high UV, low CYA, and fast burnoff• high CYA making chlorine ineffective and when to dilute• early-stage algae signs and decisive shocking• bather load raising daily demand• phosphates as algae fuel and removal strategy• nitrates requiring drain and refill• leaks diluting chemistry and tipping off with shifting levelsSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

A study published in AIMS Microbiology discovered that many commercial water dispensers harbor more bacteria than tap water due to biofilms and poor maintenance, raising public health concerns for offices, homes, and public-use systems worldwide Biofilms are slimy layers of bacteria that stick to wet surfaces like water dispensers, pipes, and medical tools, making germs harder to eliminate with disinfectants, or even antibiotics In Arizona, 73% of Water Vending Machines (WVMs) exceeded EPA limits for bacterial growth. These consistent findings point to a systemic hygiene issue in dispenser systems, not the water supply itself To keep water dispensers safe, clean them every two to four weeks using either vinegar or diluted bleach (but never both together); remember that UV systems help reduce microbes but can't replace regular hands-on cleaning To protect yourself from harmful contaminants, clean your water dispenser regularly, choose stainless steel bottles, and filter your water

Chronic disease isn't just caused by what you eat. In this video, uncover the indoor lighting dangers you probably don't know about! Find out how to stop circadian rhythm disruption, melatonin suppression, and other modern lighting health problems.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/46POGyB0:00 Introduction: Artificial light health effects1:45 Lux explained2:50 Why indoor lighting is bad for your health4:36 Indoor lighting and melatonin suppression4:57 Indoor lighting and sleep7:44 How to improve sleep and reduce circadian rhythm disruptionLight affects the circadian system, which in turn influences your mood, metabolism, hormones, sleep, and more. The circadian rhythm is a clock controlled by light and dark signals. In our modern-day environment, the days are too dim and the nights are too bright. During the day, sunlight is filtered through glass, preventing exposure to UV and infrared light, and at night, we're exposed to LED lights, TVs, phones, and tablets. We're dealing with a lack of contrast! Historically, humans were exposed to significantly more light during the day and minimal light at night. Modern lighting leads to melatonin suppression and affects your sleep and cortisol levels. Most people are not getting the restful sleep that they need. This affects the metabolism, insulin, blood sugar, and mood. Research has shown that bright nighttime light exposure can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Increasing sunlight exposure alone can improve your blood sugar, while evening bright light exposure can worsen it. Constant lighting is even considered psychologically harmful. Humans have evolved with significantly more light contrast, so we're dealing with an ancestral mismatch. To restore your circadian rhythm and combat the harmful effects of indoor lighting, try the following:1. Make your days aggressively brightEnsure adequate sun exposure before noon, and avoid wearing sunglasses. 2. Make the night genuinely dark Turn off overhead lighting, use soft night-lights, and dim screens 3 hours before bed.3. Restore contrast Focus on bright light during the day and remove light sources from your room at night. Replace light bulbs with incandescent lights if possible. Addressing the problems with modern light is one of the easiest ways to improve sleep naturally and restore your circadian rhythm.

What if your “quick shock” could bleach a liner, stain a step, or even trigger an explosive reaction in your feeder? We take a hard, practical look at calcium hypochlorite—cal hypo—and share how pros use it for powerful oxidation without piling on cyanuric acid. From real-world dosing to regional water chemistry, we map the choices that keep your pool clean and your surfaces safe.We start with clarity on strength: why 73 to 78 percent cal hypo nearly matches a gallon of 12.5 percent liquid chlorine by output, and when that field rule of thumb—one pound to one gallon—makes sense. Then we get into the must-know risks: never mix cal hypo with trichlor or dichlor, don't drop it on vinyl or colored fiberglass, and watch for copper-driven black stains on plaster when oxidation hits metals. You'll learn how much calcium cal hypo adds, why pH temporarily rises, and how to think about LSI and regional hardness whether you're in Southern California's high-calcium zones or softer-water parts of Florida and Texas.Because cal hypo is unstabilized chlorine, we set clear CYA targets—50 to 70 ppm—to protect it from UV burn-off.

Hosts: Jake Lancaster MD, Chief Medical Information Officer and Amanda Comer DNP, System Director, Advanced Practice ProvidersGuest: Zachary Nahmias, MD, Dermatologist Summary:In this episode of Right Care Baptist, host Dr. Jake Lancaster (Chief Medical Officer, Baptist Medical Group) and Amanda Comer, NP (Chief Advanced Practice Officer) sit down with Dr. Zachary Nahmias, a board-certified dermatologist at NEA Baptist Clinic in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to discuss the most common dermatology referrals from primary care and how to manage them more effectively.Dr. Nahmias breaks down his top five referral categories — suspicious skin lesions, psoriasis, eczema/contact dermatitis, adult acne, and hard-to-place rashes — and offers practical guidance for each. The conversation covers red flags for skin cancer (flat irregular lesions, bleeding, pain, and the "ugly duckling" that stands out from surrounding spots), when and how to screen patients, and the importance of gathering UV exposure and family history before referring.The discussion then shifts to rashes, where Dr. Nahmias encourages primary care providers to treat confidently when they recognize common conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis rather than deferring to a 6-month dermatology wait. He highlights common pitfalls including diagnostic anchoring, the risk of topical steroids masking or feeding fungal infections, the dangers of systemic steroids for psoriasis causing a rebound "whiplash," and misusing high-potency topical steroids in sensitive skin fold areas. He walks through distinguishing tinea from eczema by looking for a leading scale with an erythematous base, and recommends Lotrisone as an underappreciated option when the diagnosis is unclear on the feet and lower legs.On drug-related rashes, Dr. Nahmias discusses the challenge of identifying culprit medications in patients on multiple drugs, common inpatient offenders like vancomycin and sulfa drugs, and serious reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and DRESS syndrome.The episode wraps with advice on building relationships with local dermatology offices, taking clinical photos to share with referrals, knowing when to send a patient urgently (vasculitic rashes, sudden whole-body eruptions with systemic symptoms), and how the VisualDx diagnostic platform can help primary care providers narrow differentials and select first-line treatments.CME Credit Info:Link to complete brief survey and claim CME credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C55LKSYCME credit is available for up to 3 years after the stated release dateContact CEOD@bmhcc.org if you have any questions about claiming credit.

A black stain appears the moment cal hypo hits the floor—panic sets in. We unpack why that stain isn't a new disaster but copper changing form, and how to turn a scary moment into a clean, controlled fix. With guidance from Bob Lowry, we break down the chemistry that matters, the tools that actually remove metals, and the habits that keep stains from returning.We start with the copper story: how copper sulfate hides in plain sight until oxidation turns it into black copper oxide, and why ascorbic acid can lift the look without solving the load. Then we get practical. We compare sequestrants and chelants, explain why they degrade under chlorine, UV, ozone, and AOP, and outline two reliable removal paths: CuLator capture over days or a pre-filter loop that strips metals in hours. We also cover partial drain and refill strategies and the simplest operational safeguard—dissolving and distributing cal hypo instead of letting granules settle on the floor.From there, we shift to living threats. Algae divisions add up fast, and by the time you can see it, a biofilm likely shields it from chlorine. We share a straightforward plan: brush to break the polysaccharide layer, raise sanitizer deliberately, and avoid the costly mistake of “waiting a week.” Finally, we tackle the health side that too many ignore: zero chlorine means no barrier against bather-to-bather disease transmission. People bring millions of bacteria into the water; residual sanitizer is the only real-time shield. If you do end up in water with no sanitizer, take a warm shower right away to reopen pores and rinse contaminants before they cause trouble.• honoring Bob Lowry's contributions to pool chemistry• why cal hypo can turn hidden copper blue-green to black copper oxide• pros and cons of ascorbic acid on stains• how sequestrants work and why they degrade• practical metal removal with CuLator and pre-filters• safer cal hypo application and dosing tips• algae growth math and biofilm protection• brushing strategy to break polysaccharides• risks of zero cSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

HEALTH NEWS Choline intake in pregnancy linked to lower inflammation Fatty acids found to influence immune defense during chronic infections Online shopping and social media use linked to higher stress levels Scientists Discover Natural Compounds With Unexpected Benefits for Skin, Anti-Aging, and Heart Health Discrimination damages the body—and makes victims age faster Choline intake in pregnancy linked to lower inflammation Cornell University, February 5 2026 (Eurekalert) A new Cornell University study suggests that choline, a nutrient many pregnant people consume too little of, may play an underappreciated role in keeping inflammation in check during pregnancy. Choline is an essential nutrient involved in many biological processes, including cell membrane structure, neurotransmitter production, methylation, immune cell receptor agonism, and fetal brain development, and some of these biochemical processes play a role in the regulation of inflammation. It is found primarily in eggs, meat, fish, dairy and some legumes and cruciferous vegetables. Researchers analyzed data from more than 1,300 pregnant participants enrolled in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) cohort, one of the most detailed long-running pregnancy nutrition studies in North America. They found that higher recent dietary choline intake was associated with lower levels of inflammation in the third trimester. Most strikingly, participants with the highest choline intakes had dramatically lower odds of having clinically elevated inflammation than those with the lowest intakes.The current recommendation for choline during pregnancy is 450 mg, but there's some evidence that that may not be enough. Fatty acids found to influence immune defense during chronic infections University of California at San Diego, February 5 2026 (Medical Xpress) Our immune system implements an array of strategies to combat threatening infections. White blood cells called cytotoxic T lymphocytes or "CD8 T cells" are soldiers of the immune system, serving as defensive agents that fight invading pathogens. When CD8 T cells reach the point of exhaustion, their protective capabilities decline and the immune system is much less effective. University of California San Diego immunologists have now studied the influences related to metabolism and the environment surrounding CD8 T cells. Their study led to intriguing new insights on the role of fatty acids in chronic infections and other persistent conditions, such as tumors. The research focused on metabolites, including small molecules such as amino acids, sugars, and lipids, in mice that play key roles in metabolism and its many functions and pathways. The study examined how such metabolites circulating in the blood change during short-lived or long-lasting viral infections. They discovered that an ongoing viral infection causes a brief but striking shift in the availability of nutrients in the early stages after infection. They saw levels of fatty acids increase during the first week after infection, associated with infection-induced changes in eating behavior and fat breakdown. At the same time, a special group of exhausted CD8 T cells with stem-like properties was found to absorb and store more fat than other T cells. These cells were able to use fatty acids as an energy source to power their mitochondria, the cell's energy producers. When fatty acids were provided later during chronic infection, the number of stem-like T cells expanded. Online shopping and social media use linked to higher stress levels Aalto University (Finland), January 9 2026 (News-Medical) Planning to save time by doing your shopping online? If so, it's possible you're not doing your well-being any favors. A study from Aalto University in Finland has found that online shopping is more strongly linked to stress than reading the news, checking your inbox or watching adult entertainment. Previous studies have shown that social media and online shopping are often used to relieve stress. However, the new results show that a rise in social media use or online shopping is linked to an increase in self-reported stress across multiple user groups and across devices. The study found that users of YouTube and streaming services, as well as online gamers, also reported increased stress levels. For people experiencing high-stress, time spent on social media was twice more likely to be linked to stress as compared to time spent on gaming. Somewhat surprisingly, people who spent a lot of time on news sites reported less stress than others. On the other hand, those who already experienced a lot of stress didn't spend much time on news sites. Overall, the study found a strong connection between internet use, in general, and heightened stress, especially among those who already experienced a lot of stress in daily life. Women reported more stress than men, and the older and wealthier the participant, the less stress they experienced. Scientists Discover Natural Compounds With Unexpected Benefits for Skin, Anti-Aging, and Heart Health Meijo University (Japan), February 5, 2026 (SciTech Daily) Scientists have found that certain natural compounds produced by algae and cyanobacteria may offer benefits beyond sun protection, including support for skin health and cardiovascular function. In lab experiments, two mycosporine-like amino acids were found to do more than soak up ultraviolet light. They also slowed down a major enzyme tied to blood pressure control, while showing antioxidant and anti-aging activity. One enzyme, Porphyra-334, is abundant in edible seaweed, which is already consumed widely in many countries. This raises the possibility that everyday foods may contain underappreciated bioactive compounds worthy of further health-related research.These compounds, called mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), are produced by seaweeds and other tiny organisms that spend their lives exposed to intense light. MAAs work like built in sun filters by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation before it can harm cells. One of the most notable findings came from experiments on the inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE, a key regulator of blood pressure. Many widely prescribed hypertension drugs work by blocking ACE. Both compounds reduced the activity of this enzyme in laboratory tests, marking the first report of such an effect for MAAs. Although the observed effects were moderate and measured outside the human body, the discovery opens a new direction for future research. Discrimination damages the body—and makes victims age faster University of Montreal, January 19 2026 (Medical Xpress) Has being discriminated against as an LGBTQ+ person been so bad, the stress so heavy, that the victim can literally feel it in their bones? Well, it turns out that's exactly what happens: discrimination damages the body and brain. That's the conclusion of a new study by researchers at Université de Montréal, who found that discrimination against sexually and gender-diverse people leaves measurable biological traces in the body—so much so, it should be considered a chronic health burden. Published in Psychoneuroendocrinology, the study was done on 357 Montreal adults aged 18 to 79: They included 129 cisgender sexual minority men and women, 96 transgender and non-binary people, and 72 cisgender heterosexual men and women. UdeM researchers measured the participants' allostatic load, the cumulative biological wear-and-tear associated with chronic stress. They looked at 16 biomarkers affecting the subjects' cardiovascular, metabolic, neuroendocrine and immune systems. Results show that major life experiences of discrimination and daily microaggressions were positively associated with allostatic load. This means that these two types of discriminatory events independently contribute to physiological dysregulation, creating a cumulative health burden and accelerated aging. The study revealed significant disparities: people on the male spectrum (cisgender and transgender men) had the highest levels of allostatic load, while sexual minority men (bisexual and gay) also showed high levels of biological stress.
