Visual artist Jo Lane shares the story behind About Face, her master's presentation first shown in London and now exhibited in Melbourne for the very first time. Opening Wednesday 5 August and continuing through the end of the month, the exhibition finds its home at Dawn & Mabel's wine bar, 83 Acland Street, St Kilda. Lane's broader practice has recently included works exploring desire, botanical forms, and the tension between natural environments and domestic spaces, reflecting her ongoing interest in female artists across eras and the fragility of biodiversity. Visitors can experience About Face in an intimate setting that has become known for hosting art, music and community‑driven cultural events. https://jolane.com/ The post Jo Lane – August 2nd, 2026 appeared first on Sunday Arts Magazine.

Professor Ayelet Segal, Human-Computer Interaction and UX expert and Head of the "AI & I" Lab of Bar Ilan's Faculty. Drawing on decades of experience in cognitive psychology, user experience, and technology innovation, she explains how AI can amplify rather than replace human expertise. She discusses human-centred design working on AI digital twins, personality-informed avatars, and why context and trust influence the quality of human-AI interactions. Ayelet describes how LLMs are not search engines but simulate our world and expand human capabilities. She shares how new methodologies are accelerating scientific breakthroughs. Ayelet explains how she is preparing emerging leaders to effect change, combining AI with soft skills to transform industries.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  [00:31] Visual communication studies leads Ayelet toward interactive media and human technology.  [01:41] Her doctoral research explored touchscreen gestures for improved learning applications.  [05:12] Every technological revolution creates significant human behavioural change.  [05:45] Human-centred design combines cognitive psychology, design skills with emerging technology.  [06:40] Effective innovation begins with human needs, expert input, and iterative testing.  [09:14] Tech advances now enable more natural, human-centred interactions.  [09:59] Video avatars can provide accessible, conversational expertise across many professional fields.  [11:35] Digital twins use someone's knowledge base as well as their appearance and voice.  [12:14] AI companions sustain 'natural' conversations by answering, encouraging, and remembering.  [13:25] Video mentors generate longer, richer, more accurate interactions than text-based chatbots.  [14:14] Natural conversation and proactive prompting can strengthen users' trust and engagement.  [17:02] LLMs are not search engines. They simulate our world, including its strengths and biases.  [17:40] Effective AI companions benefit from personalities appropriate to the specific professions.  [18:36] Touchcast's avatars incorporate five personality traits as well as other parameters.  [19:11] AI communication – to/from humans – should adapt language according to the audience.  [21:21] Clear, defined context helps LLMs deliver more accurate answers.  [22:30] LLMs gradually learn about the user, creating important foundation context about them.  [23:55] Human-AI interaction is two-way, making individual accounts important for accuracy.  [25:57] AI should become a cognitive partner that amplifies professional capabilities.  [26:30] Professionals must creatively develop methodologies that expand their abilities with AI.  [27:00] AI is transforming UX research, enabling greater scale, depth, and analysis.  [27:30] AI-generated synthetic personas support research when human participants are unavailable.  [29:01] Integrating AI throughout scientific research can enable new breakthroughs.  [30:00] AI can help researchers rethink questions, not simply accelerate solutions.  [33:21] New AI implementation roles require leaders who bridge technology and industry.  [34:00] Students can become change makers using AI to identify transformative approaches.  [34:57] AI implementation skills can accelerate graduates into meaningful management roles.  [37:15] Successful change makers need skills in leadership, creativity, collaboration, and conflict mitigation.  [38:00] Leading AI change requires gathering supporters and navigating organizational resistance.  [39:00] Engaging deeply with AI now creates competitive edge for future leaders.  [42:10] Even experienced AI experts feel overwhelmed by the technology's rapid growth.  [43:13] People should focus on AI tools and developing solutions relevant to their profession.  [44:27] Treat AI as a superpower extending your mind, capabilities, and professional impact.  [44:48] Exploring real workplace needs can quickly inspire useful AI applications.  [45:58] Despite genuine risks, AI can solve previously intractable global problems.  [48:11] AI can advance sustainability, healthcare, education, and other critical domains.  [48:40] Everyone can use AI's superpower to create positive global impact.  [49:00] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Explore one professional challenge and develop an AI-supported solution this week.    QUOTES   "We've experienced a few technological revolutions….Each time, for example, when we started to create the applications for mobiles, there was also a big behavioural change."    "We have now a technology that could be finally much more natural and human-centred."  Re LLMs "It's a simulation of our world and it comes with everything that we know about it. With the good things and the bad things and we need to treat it this way."  "It's about the context that you feed it, and then it's learning you through time and it's adjusting the answer based on that. So you really want to be cognisant about that….the interaction is two-way."  "We really need to be creative about how to use it [AI] and develop our own methodologies."  "In order to be a change maker and lead, you really need to learn how to deal with people who are against change."  "Every one of us has a [AI] superpower, and we should use it to do good in the world." 

Identity is hard, and getting harder! Carl and Richard talk to Michele Bustamante about the evolution of authentication and authorization in the current landscape. Michele talks about finding apps at clients that are still using older authentication strategies that are no longer secure - or are implemented incorrectly, so they were never secure! The conversation covers the array of tools available today for security, so you don't need to roll your own, and includes support so you can do it right. The role of the LLMs is important - old significant vulnerabilities are being found and fixed that can impact your apps, so it's important to review your identity solutions today!

This is the first in a new series where I take you through the main marketing channels one at a time, from Instagram and LinkedIn to YouTube, TikTok, email and paid ads, and give you the honest picture on each one. Here’s why I’m doing it. One of the questions we get asked more than almost any other is simple. Should I be on this platform? Is that one worth my time? Where do I put my effort? It’s a fair question, because there are more channels than ever, and none of us has the time to be on all of them. If you listened to the last podcast, we went through the marketing tasks worth doing over the summer- those slower weeks where you finally get a bit of headspace to work on the business instead of just in it. A lot of you will be doing exactly that right now, looking at the rest of the year and wondering where to focus. So it feels like the right moment to go through the channels properly, one by one. We’re starting with Instagram, because it’s the one recruiters are most unsure about. It feels very consumer, very lifestyle, and a lot of owners wonder whether it has any place at all in a serious, B2B business. Here’s the honest answer. And it starts with the data. The Numbers Might Surprise You In the UK, Instagram has around 37.7 million users, according to the most recent figures from NapoleonCat in March. In plain terms, that’s more than half the entire UK population. Not half of social media users, half of everyone, every age group. The US is much the same. The latest data from Pew Research shows about half of all American adults are on Instagram. And Australia is higher still, with almost seven in ten adults using it at the end of last year. So let’s put one myth to bed. Instagram is not a niche teenage app any more. It’s properly mainstream, across all three of the markets most of you work in. But here’s the part that matters most for us as recruiters. The age profile, and it’s worth looking at properly. In the US, eight in ten of the 18 to 29 age group are on it, dropping to fewer than one in five of the over-sixties. In the UK, the biggest single group is 25 to 34. Hold that thought, because it’s the key to everything that follows. Instagram Is a Candidate Channel, Not a Client One Here’s what that age profile is telling us. For most recruiters, Instagram is a place to attract candidates and build your brand, not a place to win new clients. Think about it. The people doing the hiring, the ones who sign off your fees, tend to be more senior, and they’re far more likely to be on LinkedIn. That’s where they go with their work hat on. The people scrolling Instagram are much more likely to be your candidates, and they’re sizing up what it’s like to work somewhere long before they ever apply. So if your goal is winning new clients, hand on heart, Instagram probably isn’t where I’d start. LinkedIn is still your channel for that, and we’ll cover it properly later in the series. But if you want to attract candidates and build a brand that makes people think they really know this market, I want to work with them, then Instagram can genuinely earn its place. I’d rather be straight with you about that than have you chase a channel because everyone says you should. Which Sectors It Suits A lot of it comes down to your sector. Instagram tends to work best where the work is visual and where the people you want to reach are already spending their time. Think hospitality, retail, the trades, creative and marketing recruitment, or early careers and graduate recruitment. Anywhere you can show people, places, a bit of culture and energy. It works less well for executive search, senior finance, legal, and high-level tech and engineering, where both the candidates and the clients tend to be more senior and established in their careers, and far more likely to be found on LinkedIn. So before you put a single hour in, ask yourself honestly whether your candidate pool is really the kind of audience that’s on Instagram. If it is, read on. If it isn’t, this might be one you note and move past, and that’s a perfectly good outcome. Half the value of this series is helping you rule channels out. What Works on Instagram Let’s say Instagram does fit your market. Here’s what works, and none of it needs you to be a professional content creator. Lead with video. Reels, the short ones, get far more reach than a plain photo post right now, and they don’t need to be polished. A quick chat to camera about a role, a bit of advice for candidates, a behind-the-scenes moment. That’s plenty. Use carousels for teaching. Swipe-along posts like five CV (resume) mistakes costing you interviews, or what it’s really like working with us. People save that kind of content, and saves are one of the strongest signals you can send Instagram that your content is worth showing to more people. Use Stories to stay front of mind. Polls, questions and quick updates keep you visible with the people already following you, with barely any effort. Use your DMs properly. So many good recruitment conversations start in the messages, so make it easy for people to reach you there and reply like a human, not a job board. The golden thread through all of it is to be real. Real people, real placements, real culture. On Instagram, authentic beats polished every time. Time, and the Reset Tax A quick word on time, because I know that’s what you’re really thinking. To make Instagram work, you’re looking at posting a few times a week and sticking at it for a couple of months before you see much back. It’s not instant. But then nothing good in marketing ever is. And this brings me to something I feel strongly about. Please don’t try to do all of this at once, across every platform. I see recruiters get excited, throw themselves at four channels for three weeks, run out of steam, and stop. Then they start again in a panic when the pipeline dries up. All that stopping and starting costs you. Every time you disappear for a while, you lose the momentum you’d built, the algorithm stops favouring you, and the warm audience you’d gathered goes cold again. I call it the reset tax, and it’s one of the most expensive mistakes in marketing. You’re far better off picking one or two channels that genuinely fit and showing up on them consistently than spreading yourself thin across the lot and burning out. That’s the whole point of this series. Choose well, then commit. Does It Work? Yes, when it fits. A recruitment agency in Germany ran a simple campaign on Instagram Stories and brought their cost per hire down from around four and a half thousand euros to about thirteen hundred. That’s a serious result, and it came from genuine, culture-led content rather than anything fancy. Real people, real workplace. How to Decide If It’s Right for You Four quick questions. Is my main goal candidates and brand, or clients? If it’s clients, start with LinkedIn. Is my candidate pool genuinely on Instagram? Visual, consumer-facing sectors, yes. Senior and niche, probably not. Have I got visual content, or can I create it? Culture, people, placements, advice. If there’s nothing to show and no time to make it, your effort is better spent elsewhere. Can I commit to being consistent for a couple of months? If not, don’t start, because a burst followed by silence is worse than not showing up at all. Answer yes to those and Instagram is worth a proper go. Answer no, and you’ve saved yourself a lot of wasted time, which is a win too. In Short Instagram is a mainstream channel now. It’s excellent for attracting candidates and building your brand in the right sectors, weaker for winning new clients, and the trick is being honest about whether your market is really there before you commit. Next in the series, we’re staying in the Meta family and turning to Facebook, Instagram’s older sibling with a very different crowd, and one a lot of recruiters write off too fast.

We are joined by Michael Rowley, President & CEO and Dr. Danie Grobler, Vice President of Exploration of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF), live in the core shack at site, to provide a visual update of the key exploration work completed to date, the primary initiatives on tap for 2026, and the value proposition at the Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana.   Mike outlines that their Stillwater West Project is a very large polymetallic resource with a substantial copper inventory and the largest nickel project in an active U.S. mining district, in addition to palladium, platinum, rhodium, copper, cobalt, chromium, and gold. Overall, Stillwater West is uniquely positioned to become a primary source of 10 commodities now listed as critical, given their location immediately adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater's operating mine complex in Montana.   Danie shares an overview of the structural controls of the geological environment that hosts the mineralization, using the South African Bushveld Igneous Complex as analog, and how their five “Platreef-style” (or contact-type) Ni-Cu-Co-PGE+Au deposits may tie together in a larger sense.   He goes on to outline why their 2025 exploration initiatives were successful and shows how there are several mineralized events in the sulfides bringing in pockets of higher-grade polymetallic zones within the overall bulk tonnage type of deposit   Danie highlights what they are learning from the geophysical surveys over their district-scale land package, and why their team has high-confidence in the ongoing 2026 drill program, to keep stepping out along the parameters and character of this mineralized trend.   Highlights and upcoming catalysts:   The updated MRE due out in Q3 will incorporate 14 drill holes totaling 5,781 meters (“m”) from the 2023 and 2025 programs, plus about a dozen select historic holes not included in the current estimate. The update will build upon the January 25, 2023, Inferred Mineral Resource and results will support further technical studies and economic assessments. The work is being led by Mr. Timothy Kuhl (MTS) and Dr. Danie Grobler (Stillwater) who together previously worked with the late Dr. Harry Parker on the resource estimation and technical reports for Ivanhoe Mines' Platreef Mine. Assays are pending from fresh drill core coming off the mountain in the 2026 program. Thus far the anticipated structural controls are holding up as expected.       If you have any questions for the team at Stillwater Critical Minerals, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.    * In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Stillwater Critical Minerals at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.      Click here to follow the latest news from Stillwater Critical Minerals     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Dave Cole, CEO, and Fred Bell, President and COO, of Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSX: ELE) (Nasdaq: ELE), both join me for a visual tour through their key producing and development royalty and streaming assets.   We start off reviewing the key cornerstone gold and copper assets within their royalty portfolio of 18 cash-flowing royalties, 28 advanced development assets, and ~250 total mineral royalties globally; diversified across multiple jurisdictions and across precious metals, critical minerals, and battery metals.   In the process of going over key assets we touched upon the key news out yesterday on July 15th, regarding their strategic US$25 million investment package with Quilla Resources Inc. and its subsidiary Minera Pampa de Cobre S.A.C. (“MPC”) to expand Elemental's royalty exposure to the producing Chapi Copper Project in Peru and support Quilla's next phase of growth.  Elemental acquired an additional perpetual, uncapped 1.0% NSR royalty over Quilla's Pampa Negra and Candelaria concessions, increasing Elemental's royalty interest to a total of 3.0% NSR   We also unpack the rationale and risk/reward proposition from their news out on May 14th announcing the definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Vizsla Royalties Corp. (TSX-V: VROY; OTCQX: VROY) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement.    The new dividend has highlighted, which provides investors the option of being paid in either cash or Tether Gold tokens, (which are backed by physical gold); and the corresponding value of having Tether Investments S.A. de C.V as their key stakeholder.   Their board of directors believes that Elemental Royalty Corp is currently positioned on the cutting edge of marrying the value of hard assets anchored in commodities and royalty instruments, with the interest from investors in the utility of digital assets.   Click to follow the latest news from Elemental Royalty Corp     To see a comprehensive list of all Elemental Royalty Corp assets: https://www.elementalroyalty.com/our-assets/     2026 Asset Royalty Handbook now available: https://wp-elemental-royalty-2026.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/media/2026/06/ELE-Royalty-Asset-Handbook-2026.pdf   If you have any follow up questions for Dave or Fred at Elemental Royalty Corp, then please email those to me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Elemental Royalty Corp at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.      For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

How has testing changed in the era of AI? Carl and Richard talk to Debbie O'Brien in her new role at Zephyr about using LLMs to help build and validate tests - and much more. Debbie talks about joining Zephyr and using testing tools like Playwright to validate application workflows and generate documentation. This leads to a discussion about documentation being more important than ever, since LLMs will actually read it! Maintaining quality is a challenge with LLM-generated code and tests, so there's always a role for a critical eye in the process.

July 10, 2026This week Erika B. Hess returns to the podcast to talk about the Chautauqua Visual Arts Program at the Chautauqua Institution. The program, which was founded in 1909, features a residency program, visiting artists and faculty, public lectures, and exhibitions by professional and emerging artists at The Fowler-Kellogg Art Center & Strohl Art Center.

Jonathan Hooper is a distinguished educator and a certified teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) and an assistive technology professional (ATP). With 13 years of experience as an itinerant vision teacher in New York City, Jonathan currently contributes his expertise at Pediatric VIEW at The Children's Home of Pittsburgh. There, he specializes in Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) and complex support needs alongside Dr. Christine Roman Lantzy. His journey into the field was driven by firsthand classroom experiences with a student with visual impairments, which inspired him to transition from a general education role to a specialized advocate for inclusive education.In this insightful episode of Think Inclusive, hosted by Tim Villegas, listeners explore the essential aspects of creating inclusive environments for students with visual impairments. Jonathan Hooper shares his journey from a general education teacher to a specialist in visual impairments, emphasizing the separation of vision from cognition and the significance of presuming competence. The discussion broadly encompasses the value and implementation of accessibility in educational contexts, ranging from academic subjects to everyday social interactions in lunchrooms and playgrounds.Complete show notes and transcript: https://mcie.org/think-inclusive/inclusion-for-students-with-visual-impairments-overcoming-barriers-together-with-jonathan-hooper-1334/

If your team is working hard but progress feels wobbly, the problem often isn't effort, it's alignment. We dig into what winning teams have in common across business, sports, and high-stakes environments: a clear vision everyone can picture. When people can't see the same destination, they fill in the blanks with bias, opinion, and assumptions. That's when momentum turns into frustration, customer complaints, and the kind of organizational “blowouts” you never see coming until they hit.We talk about why text-heavy plans create friction and why the familiar advice to “write at an eighth-grade level” exists in the first place. Long documents are slow to write and even slower to absorb, and they quietly assume every reader has the same speed and comprehension. Visual communication works differently. A single image, diagram, or infographic can connect the dots fast, helping a group learn together and lock onto the same point on the horizon.Then we walk through a practical clear vision workflow using NotebookLM: park your best sources in a closed-box system, interrogate them with focused prompts, and turn the output into a visual endpoint like an infographic or slide deck. We share how to pull from prospect websites, investment materials, solution notes, and call transcripts to create “gold in, gold out” results that improve leadership clarity and increase the odds of winning a major sales presentation.If you want a competitive advantage, build a future your team can actually see. Subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review telling us: where does your organization lose clarity most often?Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Visual AI gets stuck not because the technology fails, but because enterprises cannot move it from controlled environments into the variability of daily operations. In this episode, Brian Ton, Senior Laboratory Manager at Florida Crystals Corporation, examines why building operational trust in visual AI requires more than a successful pilot — and what actually determines whether a deployment becomes standard practice or stalls. The conversation covers validation and verification frameworks, the role of the feedback loop in sustaining trust, and why starting with small, demonstrable wins is more effective than reaching for enterprise-wide solutions from the outset.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight Podcast, Yehu Ofer, CEO, and Einav Brenner, CFO of Odysight.ai Inc. (Nasdaq and Tel Aviv: ODYS), join host Tim Gerdeman and WTR equity research analyst James Kisner. Odysight.ai pairs small optical sensors with AI to bring predictive maintenance to aerospace, defense, and industrial markets, placing eyes inside hard-to-reach, safety-critical parts to spot leaks, cracks, and corrosion and forecast failures before they happen. Ofer explains how legacy monitoring relies mostly on vibration sensors bolted to moving parts, leaving much of a platform checked only by the human eye, and how Odysight's AI reads what those systems miss. He traces the path from optics to a qualified aerospace product and why today's defense environment is pulling customers in. Brenner walks through the backlog, the shift toward recurring revenue, and the company's cash and funding. Ofer closes with the milestones investors should watch across the U.S., Europe, and beyond.

Max talks about the fatal crash of Beech C90 King Air N249CP, an air ambulance flight that departed Roswell Air Center in New Mexico shortly before midnight on May 13, 2026. The aircraft was headed for Sierra Blanca Regional Airport near Ruidoso to pick up a patient for transport to Albuquerque. It was a short flight—only about 51 nautical miles—but it ended in tragedy when the King Air struck terrain near the Capitan Mountains. Both pilots and both flight nurses were killed. The aircraft was operated by Generation Jets under Part 135 as an unscheduled fixed-wing aeromedical flight. The two medical passengers were flight nurses employed by Trans Aero Medical Services. Max emphasizes the human side of the accident: these were young professionals on a mission of mercy, people who had dedicated themselves to helping others. That makes the accident especially painful, but also especially important to study carefully. According to the preliminary report, the flight occurred in dark-night VMC with zero percent moon illumination. Max explains why that matters. In rural or mountainous terrain, a dark night can feel very much like instrument conditions, even when the weather is technically visual. There may be no visible horizon, no way to judge terrain ahead, and no meaningful outside references to confirm whether the aircraft is safely above rising ground. Pilots may be legal to fly VFR or accept a visual approach, but operationally they may need to fly with the discipline of an instrument procedure. A second major factor was GPS jamming. The report says U.S. military GPS jamming activity was taking place in the area and at the altitudes used by the accident flight. During the flight, ADS-B data that had been reporting every few seconds began reporting at roughly one-minute intervals. The crew later told Albuquerque Center they had lost GPS capability and needed a heading. Other aircraft in the area also reported GPS problems, including one pilot who appeared to have difficulty identifying or navigating to a ground-based navigation aid. Max uses this to highlight a broader issue for pilots: most of us have become deeply dependent on GPS. That dependency affects not only primary navigation but also the tools we rely on for situational awareness. Electronic flight bags, panel-mounted moving maps, terrain displays, and many terrain warning systems all depend on accurate aircraft position. If GPS is jammed or unreliable, those tools may stop working, may degrade, or may give pilots less protection than they expect. The flight was initially cleared as filed to Sierra Blanca and assigned 12,000 feet. At one point, the controller advised the crew that the aircraft was at 13,000 feet, about 1,000 feet above its assigned altitude. The pilots responded that they were correcting and had lost GPS. The controller provided headings and later began working to have the military stop the jamming. As the flight continued, the crew requested the RNAV approach, then later requested the ILS approach because of the GPS failure. But the destination presented another complication. Sierra Blanca's automated weather observation system was out of service, and the ForeFlight briefing showed no METAR and no TAF for the airport. The instrument approach procedures contained notes stating that when the local altimeter setting was not received, the procedures were not authorized. Max explains that this may have left the crew without a legal instrument approach option, even though flying an approach would have provided more structure and terrain protection than descending visually in dark-night mountainous terrain. At about 12:08 AM, while northeast of the airport, the crew reported that they had the airport area in sight and could proceed visually. The controller cleared them for a visual approach and told them they could cancel IFR in the air above 9,000 feet or after landing. Shortly afterward, the aircraft began turning southwest toward Sierra Blanca. The Capitan Mountains, rising to more than 10,000 feet, were between the aircraft and the airport. After the aircraft was cleared for the visual approach, the controller's supervisor reportedly told the military that jamming could resume. ADS-B again began recording at about one-minute intervals. The aircraft descended toward the airport and later appeared to climb during the final moments of the flight. The last recorded Spidertracks data showed the aircraft at about 9,823 feet GPS altitude, with a groundspeed of 150 knots and a heading of 250 degrees. The aircraft impacted terrain at an elevation of about 9,950 feet, near the Capitan Mountains Summit Radio Facility. Max discusses several lessons from the accident. First, dark-night operations in mountainous areas deserve special caution, even in VMC. Second, pilots should maintain proficiency with non-GPS navigation, including VORs, localizers, and raw-data flying. Third, before accepting a visual approach at night, especially in terrain, pilots should have a clear plan for terrain clearance and should consider using any available ground-based guidance, such as tracking a localizer or ILS course, even if cleared visually. Fourth, pilots should understand what equipment they may lose when GPS fails: not just navigation, but also moving maps, terrain pages, and some terrain warning capabilities. The episode closes with a practical reminder: GPS jamming is not theoretical. If you fly enough, you may eventually lose GPS. The goal is to make sure that losing GPS does not also mean losing situational awareness, terrain clearance, or your life.

We are thrilled to welcome Chicago-based interior designer Sarah Vaile to the podcast! Known for her bold use of color, fresh traditional style, and making classic spaces feel lively, Sarah has built an incredible coast-to-coast design firm. After pivoting from a corporate advertising career in her late 20s, she trained under industry icon Celerie Kemble before striking out on her own. Sarah sits down with Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to tackle one of interior design's absolute trickiest topics: scale. She shares her brilliant real-world hacks for testing furniture volume before you buy, why she loves wall-to-wall "sofa drenching" in tight spaces, and how to layout a dual-purpose office and guest room to conquer the dreaded "zoom gloom." Quick Decorating Takeaways: Scale is All About Visual Volume: Scale isn't just about simple dimensions; it's the balance of shapes, pattern, and mass in a room. When mixing antique and modern pieces, keep an eye on mass—newer furniture skews much larger ("California scale"), which can easily swallow up older heirloom items. Get Physical in Your Space: Don't rely solely on 2D digital layouts. To build confidence before hitting buy, physically map out a room using blue painter's tape on the floor, arrange empty cardboard boxes to test physical height, or tape a 1-to-1 paper cutout of a light fixture straight to the wall. Try "Sofa Drenching" in Small Rooms: Don't automatically buy a tiny love seat just because a room is tight. Small spaces can actually handle a giant sofa wrapped wall-to-wall. By making the entire room about the seating, you create an incredibly cozy, enveloping, and high-drama jewel box. Don't Get Stranded on "Rug Island": A common design trap is placing a floating area rug in the dead center of a room with all your furniture pushed completely off it. To bridge your hard floors with your texturing, ensure your seating "straddles" both worlds by keeping their front feet on the rug and their back feet off. Banish the Zoom Gloom: Dark colors like navy blue can throw an unflattering, shadowed cast on your face during computer calls. When designing a home office space, look for bright, invigorating colors that act like a flattering backdrop—think pistachios, corals, or soft apricots.

This episode, we're stepping back to the golden age of natural history podcasting by resurrecting the format of the classic show Wild Ideas: The Podcast. Joining us on the trail is one of the OG hosts: the man himself, Gordon Maupin. It's a 3-way team-up where each of us brings a heavy-hitting seasonal mystery to the table.First, Steve unravels the rule-breaking world of the Ambystoma polyploid salamander complex, where unisexual lineages are mixing up DNA from different species and blurring the lines of what makes a species a species. Then, Gordon shrinks things down to look at the world of duckweed ecology, a group that includes the smallest flowering plants in the world. Finally, Bill turns our eyes to the skies over the marsh to pull back the curtain on dragonfly migration, looking into the recent science that shows some dragonfly species are multi-generational continental travelers (as well as badass predators).Come listen in as Gordon and the guys answer the question, “What's going on outside?” (Wild Ideas fans, that's for you)This episode was reecorded at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, NY on May 13, 2026.Episode LinksCheck out the Iroquois National Wildlife Refige and their Bald Eagle Cam.Here's the New York Times article about 7 Podcasts About the Joys of Bird Watching that includes a mention of our show.Episode NotesGetting The Great Egret's Latin Name RightDuring a quick aside this episode, Gordon spotted a Great Egret and Steve tried to recall its scientific name, tentatively going with Erodea alba. He wasn't entirely wrong! The correct name is Ardea alba.While alba means "white," Ardea is Latin for "heron." It also ties back to the ancient myth by everyone's favorite Roman poet Ovid, who wrote about a bird rising directly from the ashes of the burned city of Ardea. What's the Deal With Axolotls?We wondered if the axolotl is in the same genus as the Jefferson and blue spotted salamander (Ambystoma) and yes they are!Species: A. mexicanum (Axolotl) Unlike most members of Ambystomatidae—which typically metamorphose into terrestrial adults—the axolotl exhibits a trait called neoteny (or paedomorphosis). This is where an organism retains juvenile or larval traits into adulthood. Axolotls retains its aquatic, larval features (like its signature feathery external gills) into adulthood and spends its entire life in the water Bill's Hard Claim on ID'ing Jefferson Salamanders Bill said there is no way we could tell if it was a Jefferson salamander: is that true? Bill was basically right if we're talking about visually confirming a female-looking salamander in a blue-spotted/Jefferson overlap zone. Many unisexual individuals cannot be confidently identified by sight, and genetic testing is the clean answer. But during the breeding season, a male with a swollen cloaca is not part of the all-female unisexual lineage, so that can help narrow things down. So, a male in breeding condition can sometimes be identified much more confidently than a female/unisexual-looking animal, but you need to have serious knowledge about species location, morphology, and breeding-season characteristics. The Jefferson Complex vs. the Bigger Unisexual Salamander SituationDuring the episode, Bill had a “wait, what are we even talking about?” moment while Steve was explaining the huge all-female/unisexual Ambystoma salamander lineage.Steve was talking about the big-picture version: a bizarre evolutionary group that can involve genomes from several mole salamander species, including Blue-spotted, Jefferson, Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Tiger Salamanders.Bill, though, was thinking what we hear more about in the Northeast and Great Lakes region: the “Jefferson complex,” or the Blue-spotted/Jefferson Salamander mess. Around here, that usually means you can't usually ID a Jefferson Salamanders or a Blue-spotted Salamander down to species because the sally in front of you may belong to the all-female, polyploid lineage that can't be confidently sorted out just by looking at them.So Bill's question was basically: “Hold on. Is this identification nightmare only a Jefferson/Blue-spotted thing, or does it happen with the other species too?”And the answer is: yep. It can happen with the others too.The narrower Jefferson complex usually refers to the Blue-spotted/Jefferson part of the story, especially in places where those are the main overlapping species. But when scientists zoom out and include the other players (Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Eastern Tiger Salamanders) they usually refer to the whole thing as the unisexual Ambystoma lineage.So the practical field takeaway is this: in places where these species overlap, a female-looking Ambystoma salamander may be impossible to identify with confidence by appearance alone. Even experts may only be making an educated guess unless they use genetic testing. Measuring red blood cell size can help estimate ploidy (basically, whether the animal has extra chromosome sets) but DNA testing is the real way to know which genomes are actually in there. Is Duckweed the Smallest Flowering Plant? Yes, but specifically a microscopic type of it. The world's smallest flowering plants belong to the genus Wolffia - Often referred to as "rootless duckweed" or "watermeal," they are the tiniest members of the duckweed family (Lemnaceae) Individual Wolffia plants are usually less than 1 mm long, roughly the size of a pinhead or cornmeal, and the flowers are correspondingly microscopic.Unlike standard duckweed (Lemna), Wolffia plants do not have roots and appear simply as tiny floating green spheres or oval seeds.The plant produces the world's smallest flower, which forms in a tiny depression on the plant's top surface.Because they are so small and have highly efficient asexual budding, they can easily cover a pond in dense mats before you ever notice an individual plant. Can be found across temperate and tropical regions of North, Central, and South America Correction: Ed Yong's An Immense World (UV, not Infrared)During the episode, Bill mentioned Ed Yong's phenomenal book, An Immense World, and noted that researchers are increasingly discovering how many animals can see in the infrared spectrum. His memory slipped slightly on this one! Yong actually discusses the growing scientific realization that many animals see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, not infrared. (Though as you'll see below, dragonflies do have a few tricks up their sleeves on the other end of the spectrum). Gordon's Question: Infrared Vision & Dragonfly MatingBill's misremembering of what was in An Immense World was prompted by Gordon asking a fantastic question during the recording: Can dragonflies see in the infrared spectrum, and if they can, are they using it to navigate during migration?First, a quick clarification: when most of us hear “infrared,” we immediately picture thermal imaging — animals glowing in the dark, Predator vision, that whole thing. That is not what we're talking about here. Dragonflies do not appear to see heat signatures.What they may be able to see is near-infrared — light just beyond the deepest red wavelengths visible to humans. Near-infrared is not heat vision. It is more like an invisible extension of red.According to a recent study published in January 2026 by researchers in Osaka, Japan, some dragonfly species have visual pigments that are sensitive to extremely long red wavelengths, possibly reaching into the near-infrared edge of the spectrum. That alone is pretty wild. But the discovery also highlights a striking example of parallel evolution between insects and primates. Millions of years ago, the ancestors of humans and other primates evolved molecular changes that helped produce red-sensitive vision. This new research suggests that some dragonflies may have independently evolved a similar molecular tuning mechanism for detecting red light. However, while primate red vision operates within the visible spectrum, some dragonflies appear to have pushed that sensitivity even farther, toward the boundary between deep red and near-infrared.So what are they doing with this ability? Probably not navigating migration, at least as far as we know.The better-supported idea is that this long-wavelength vision helps dragonflies identify mates quickly in flight. Male and female dragonflies can reflect red and near-infrared light differently, especially against green vegetation. So for an animal making split-second decisions while zipping around at high speed, that extra visual contrast could be a big deal. So to answer Gordon's question, dragonflies may be seeing farther into the red/near-infrared edge of the spectrum than we can, but based on what researchers currently know, they're probably using that ability for rapid sex recognition, not long-distance navigation. It's more of a high-speed dragonfly dating filter than infrared GPS.The Missing Piece: Visual Cues and "Leading Lines" in MigrationOne big element Bill neglected to mention in covering how dragonfies navigate during migration is the VISUAL piece – that they also use what they're seeing! That is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Dragonflies are also extremely visual animals. Those huge compound eyes are not just for decoration. So, what they're seeing is likely a key piece in their migration toolbox. Migrating dragonflies are often observed moving along major landscape features: coastlines, mountain ridges, river valleys, and other long, continuous edges. Biologists sometimes refer to these kinds of features as leading lines, because they can help guide or funnel migrating animals across the landscape.That doesn't mean a dragonfly is looking down and thinking, “Ah yes, the Susquehanna River. I'll take this south.” But these landscape features can still matter in several ways.Coastlines can keep migrants from drifting too far over open water, which is risky for an insect that eventually needs to land, rest, and feed.Mountain ridges and long hillsides can create useful air currents and updrafts, allowing dragonflies to ride favorable winds and conserve energy.River corridors can provide both a visual pathway and good stopover habitat, with water, vegetation, and plenty of small flying insects to eat when they need to refuel.The overall migration story for dragonflies probably isn't “dragonflies have one magic compass.” It's more like they are combining a bunch of cues at once: the visual structure of the landscape below them, as well as the elements covered during the episode. Steve's Questions: Resident vs. Migratory Green Darners & The Thermal Genetic SwitchDuring the episode, Steve asked two really good questions about Common Green Darners: if some are migratory and some are resident, how do they know which group to mate with? And could temperature be the thing that nudges a young darner down one path or the other?The first answer is surprisingly simple: they probably don't know, and they probably don't care.For a long time, researchers assumed these groups were reproductively isolated, believing residents emerged and died before the migratory cohort reached adulthood, but modern research has overturned this idea. According to a comprehensive review by Michael L. May and John H. Matthews, adult flight periods absolutely overlap in mid-summer, and genetic testing reveals zero genetic differentiation between the groups. The entire continental population belongs to a single, randomly mating gene pool. So when a Common Green Darner is ready to mate, it is probably not checking whether the other darner is from the “resident” or “migratory” team. It is just mating with another mature Common Green Darner in the same airspace. Very romantic. Very dragonfly.Steve's second question gets at something even more interesting: what makes one generation migrate while another stays put?This is where temperature, day length, and seasonal timing seem to matter a lot. A Green Darner nymph developing in warm water during long summer days may be pushed toward faster development. That can produce adults that emerge, feed heavily, build up energy reserves, and migrate south in late summer or fall.But if nymphs are developing as temperatures drop and days get shorter, their development can slow down. Instead of rushing to become adults, they may overwinter as aquatic nymphs and emerge the following year. Those individuals can then become part of the resident breeding population in northern ponds.So Steve's instinct was basically right: environmental conditions appear to play a huge role in shaping whether a darner develops quickly and migrates, or slows down and overwinters.The only thing to be careful about is the phrase “genetic switch.” There probably are changes in gene expression involved. Temperature and day length can absolutely affect how insects develop, but in Common Green Darners, we should probably think of it less as a single switch being flipped and more as a whole developmental pathway being shaped by the environment.The short version: migratory and resident Green Darners are not separate species or rival dragonfly factions. They appear to be part of one big, mixed population whose life cycle can play out in different ways depending on timing, temperature, and local conditions.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsThank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Works CitedHallworth, M.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of The Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, James and Ryan explore the “sequela” — the long-term fallout — of the burnout pursuer and how that shows up in both Stage 1 and Stage 2 EFT. They unpack what it means to truly witness a burned-out pursuer's journey instead of trying to “get them to move,” why holdouts are such a powerful (and costly) survival strategy, and how to work with the unique shame of someone who feels, “I hate myself for still loving you.” You'll hear practical ways to: Stay grounded with a pursuer who's done protesting and now just shows up with crossed arms Do the kind of historical witnessing that feels more like a series of emotional “massages” than a quick intervention Use hope scenes and the “big three” moments of failed hope in Stage 2 to create deep limbic revision Support re-engagement without accidentally reenacting the very patterns that burned them out in the first place Top 10 Points from the Episode “Sequela” as a frame: Ryan uses “sequela” (the long-term consequences) to describe what we're really dealing with in a burnout pursuer—not just current behavior, but the accumulated fallout of thousands of drops, failed bids, and unresolved pain. Burnout pursuer = mixed signals + survival strategy: Burnout pursuers send mixed messages to their partner, the therapist, and themselves. What looks like manipulation or a “power move” is actually an adaptive survival strategy to cope with feeling helpless and repeatedly dropped. Historical witnessing is non‑negotiable: Stage 1 work with burnout pursuers requires slow, repeated, historical witnessing—not “forget the past, let's start over.” The therapist invites them to tell the journey of how they got this burned out, and stays with the horror and grief of it instead of talking them out of it. The “holdout” dynamic: A burnout pursuer may show up in therapy with arms crossed, essentially saying, “I'm here, but I'm not moving until my partner proves it.” That holdout protects them, but also rigidly locks the cycle in place, sometimes even raising the bar as the withdrawer improves. Therapist stance: release the need to make them move: James names a crucial shift: the therapist must let go of the internal pressure to get the pursuer to move. The more the therapist pushes, the more the pursuer's nervous system feels pressured and unsafe. The work becomes: “James, just be with what is. Give witness to their journey.” Stage 1 as repeated “emotional massage”: Ryan likens the work to a series of massages—one session won't undo years of knots. The therapist returns multiple times to witnessing, validating, and grieving with the pursuer, even as this can be very hard on the withdrawer who's just starting to “get it.” Unique shame of the burnout pursuer: There's a specific shame: “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me thousands of times… shame on me.” Many burnout pursuers feel, “I love you, and I hate myself for the fact that I love you.” Without naming and working this shame, they can't risk hope again. Stage 2: asking them to care‑give again is huge: When the couple “dumps over” into Stage 2, the burnout pursuer is often asked to sit with and respond to their partner's vulnerability first. This can re-evoke the old experience: “Once again, it's not about me.” Naming how much is being asked of them is essential. The “big three” hope scenes as core Stage 2 work: Effective Stage 2 softening with burnout pursuers often requires revisiting 2–3 symbolic “big hope” moments (e.g., an elaborate romantic trip) where they risked, hoped, and were dropped. These hope scenes become key sites for deep grief, attachment injury work, and limbic revision—otherwise, it's like leaving a tumor behind and relapse risk stays high. From vision → witness → visual redemption (the “eye” theme): Pursuers are visionaries—they can see how good the relationship could be, but that visionary energy often works against them. They need: Witness in Stage 1 & early Stage 2: someone who really sees the journey of their drops and failed hopes. Visual redemption in late Stage 2: in Step 7, the re-engaged withdrawer looks at them and clearly names, how I see you—lovable, worth fighting for, beautiful, someone I want to be with. That attuned “I see you” becomes a redemptive corrective to years of being unseen and dropped. We aim to equip therapists with practical tools and encouragement for addressing relational distress.
