Hear about travel to Menorca, Spain, as the Amateur Traveler talks to Kristin Henning from travelpast50.com about her visit to the northernmost of the Balearic Islands. Why should you visit Menorca? Kristin says, "In a nutshell, it is so appealing because the entire island of Menorca is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It is just stunning, nature wall to wall. It's just a small, relaxed island. It's one-fifth the size of Mallorca, with only one-tenth the population. So it's very easy to relax and enjoy the outdoors and all that this very historic small island has to offer." Kristin recommends several activities and experiences for a visit to Menorca, Spain, emphasizing its natural beauty, historical significance, and relaxed atmosphere. Here’s a summary of her recommendations: 1. Explore the Camí de Cavalls Hiking Trail A historic circular trail around Menorca, divided into 20 segments. Ideal for hiking or biking, with options for day trips or multi-day treks. Hotels can assist with luggage transport and pickups/drop-offs. Wear sturdy boots and consider trekking poles for the rocky terrain. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-menorca-spain/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We are well into the 4th Quater of the year and as Realtors and Sales Professionals, we have a choice to make.  Will you make this your PEAK season or your OFF season?   I know it is tempting to "coast" and enjoy the holiday season.  To be of the mindset of "either I can enjoy the holidays, or I can work.   When you think in terms of "OR", you truly limit yourself.   What if we approached it from an "and" perspective?  I can still be engaged AND make time for the holiday season.  IT IS possible to do both. In choosing to do both, you are also choosing to make this your "peak" season.  I know from being in the Real Estate Industry for over 23 years now, that a big majority of Realtors take this time "off".  Which to me, was always the greatest opportunity to secure business while others were coasting. In addition, if you chose to make this your "Off Season", you are truly impacting 4 months of your business.  If we take November and December off and reengage in January, you have a 60-90 day lag before you could possibly have a closing or a sale.   Essentially losing 4-5 months of income. Take a listen on how you can make this your Peak Season, enjoy the holidays AND set yourself up for an amazing start to the new year. Book a free coaching call: https://calendly.com/tony-rethinkcoaching/30min?month=2023-10To get more information about Tony and reTHINK Coaching - http://www.rethinkcoaching.com/

In this episode of The AI Grapple, Kate vanderVoort is joined by Dr. Tobias Fischer, a Senior Lecturer at Queensland University of Technology and a Chief Investigator at the QUT Centre for Robotics. Tobi shares his fascinating journey from a remote town in Germany to becoming a leading figure in AI and robotics in Brisbane. We dive into his passion for robotic vision, the ground breaking work he's doing under the ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award, and his involvement in the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program (RRAP) to help preserve the Great Barrier Reef. Tobi also discusses the challenges of conducting research in Australia, particularly in light of government funding constraints, and his commitment to mentoring the next generation of researchers, especially women in STEM. This episode provides deep insights into the future of AI and robotics, with practical examples of how this technology is already making a tangible impact in areas like environmental conservation and healthcare. Key Topics Discussed: 1. Tobi’s Journey from Germany to Australia: Tobi shares his early life growing up in a remote town in Germany, often referred to as the "Green Heart of Germany" due to its lush forests and minimal industry. He talks about how his teenage fascination with computer games evolved into a deep interest in programming and AI, eventually leading him to pursue a career in robotics. His journey from this small town to becoming a Senior Lecturer and researcher at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is both inspiring and illustrative of the global nature of technological innovation. 2. The Role of Robotic Vision in Advancing Human-Robot Interaction: Tobi explains the concept of robotic vision, which involves giving robots the ability to perceive and interpret their surroundings using cameras and other sensors. He discusses how this technology is crucial for enabling safe and intelligent human-robot interactions in real-world environments. He also touches on his PhD work, which focused on perspective-taking in robots—teaching robots to understand and interpret human gaze to enhance communication and cooperation between humans and machines. 3. Ground breaking Research on Energy-Efficient Robot Navigation: Under the Australian Research Council's Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), Tobi is working on developing energy-efficient techniques for robot positioning and navigation, particularly in environments where GPS is unavailable. He describes the challenges and potential applications of this research, such as in mining operations, indoor settings, and underwater environments like the Great Barrier Reef, where traditional navigation methods are not feasible. 4. The Reef Restoration and Adaptation Programme (RRAP): Tobi is part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Programme, a multi-year initiative aimed at preserving the Great Barrier Reef amidst the challenges posed by climate change. He discusses how his team is using robotic vision and AI to identify the best locations to plant coral polyps, ensuring their survival and promoting reef regeneration. This work highlights the intersection of advanced technology and environmental conservation, showcasing how robotics can play a pivotal role in addressing global ecological challenges. 5. Challenges in Conducting Research in Australia: Tobi talks about the difficulties of conducting cutting-edge research in Australia, particularly due to the country's relatively low government spending on research and development compared to other OECD nations. Despite being awarded the DECRA Fellowship, he acknowledges the broader challenges faced by many researchers in securing funding and the potential long-term impact on Australia's position in the global scientific community. 6. Mentoring and Supporting Women in STEM: A significant portion of Tobi’s work involves mentoring PhD students, with a special focus on supporting women in STEM. He discusses the importance of tailored mentorship that recognises the unique goals and challenges of each student. Tobi also emphasises the need for visible role models and the creation of inclusive environments where diversity is not only welcomed but seen as essential to the advancement of the field. He shares examples from his own experiences at QUT, where leadership roles held by women have created a supportive atmosphere for female researchers. 7. The Future of Robotics and AI: Looking ahead, Tobi explores the potential future applications of robotics and AI, particularly in sectors like healthcare, logistics, and environmental conservation. He discusses the challenges of generalising robotic capabilities to diverse and unpredictable real-world environments, such as homes and public spaces. Tobi also speculates on the impact of AI on making robotics more adaptable and accessible, potentially revolutionising industries by enabling more intelligent and responsive robotic systems.

In Tip of the Spear: Land, Labor, and US Settler Militarism in Guåhan, 1944–1962 (Cornell University Press, 2023), Dr. Alfred Peredo Flores argues that the US occupation of the island of Guåhan (Guam), one of the most heavily militarised islands in the western Pacific Ocean, was enabled by a process of settler militarism. During World War II and the Cold War, Guåhan was a launching site for both covert and open US military operations in the region, a strategically significant role that turned Guåhan into a crucible of US overseas empire. In 1962, the US Navy lost the authority to regulate all travel to and from the island, and a tourist economy eventually emerged that changed the relationship between the Indigenous CHamoru population and the US military, further complicating the process of settler colonialism on the island. The US military occupation of Guåhan was based on a co-constitutive process that included CHamoru land dispossession, discursive justifications for the remaking of the island, the racialization of civilian military labour, and the military's policing of interracial intimacies. Within a narrative that emphasises CHamoru resilience, resistance, and survival, Dr. Flores uses a working class labour analysis to examine how the militarization of Guåhan was enacted by a minority settler population to contribute to the US government's hegemonic presence in Oceania. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Wikipedia tells us that "Thomas Bewick (1753 – 1828) was an English engraver and  author. Early in his career he took on all kinds of work such as engraving , making the wood blocks for advertisements, and illustrating children's books. He gradually turned to illustrating, writing and publishing his own books, gaining an adult audience for the fine illustrations in A History of Quadrupeds. His career began when he was apprenticed to engraver Ralph Beilby in Newcastle upon Tyne. He became a partner in the business and eventually took it over.  Bewick is best known for his A History of British Birds, which is admired today mainly for its wood engravings, especially the small, sharply observed, and often humorous vignettes known as tail-pieces. The book was the forerunner of all modern field guides. He notably illustrated editions of Aesop's Fables throughout his life. He is credited with popularising a technical innovation in the printing of illustrations using wood. He adopted metal-engraving tools to cut hard boxwood across the grain, producing printing blocks that could be integrated with metal type, but were much more durable than traditional woodcuts. The result was high-quality illustration at a low price."  *** In 1978 while working as an artist and printmaker (linoleum cuts, woodcuts and wood engravings), and painting landscapes in oils and watercolours David Esslemont established his own private press in his home town of Newcastle upon Tyne in the north of England. Here he published the first of several books with wood engravings by Thomas Bewick and his apprentices: Thomas Bewick: A Commemoration, John Bewick a Selection of Wood Engravings, Luke Clennell: Bewick Apprentice, and Thomas Bewick: Birds These books were printed by hand on dampened paper on a Columbian press and published in limited editions.  Who better then to talk to about Bewick than Esslemont. I travelled out to David's farm in Iowa to discuss Thomas.   

"Worm Wars" is shorthand for an ongoing scientific debate about the efficacy of de-worming programs; that is, programs supported by governments and non profits to stop the transmission of parasitic worms. This debate has become exceedingly heated in recent weeks after new research called into question old research about a key claim that de-worming programs increased school attendence.   This largely academic debate offers key insights into the role of research in influencing international development and global health agendas.     The debate gets very complicated, very quickly. Here to help me make sense of it all and explain its larger relevance to international development is my old pal Tom Murphy. Tom is a correspondant for the website Humanosphere and also the co-founder along with...me of DAWNS Digest.
