The Real History Behind Reversing the Chicago River with Mr. Dick Lanyan, who spent 48 years with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, where he became the executive director and ran the day-to-day operations - which addresses the industrial waste load equivalent for 9 million people. Very early in our American history, the potential for Chicago to be the center of an expansive water system, connecting the East and the West with its location on Lake Michigan and along the Chicago River, prompted the federal government to establish Fort Dearborn in 1803 where Chicago now sits. There is no shortage of written and digital stories about the Chicago River and how it was reversed almost 124 years ago on January 1, 1900. It is referred to as an engineering marvel – and certainly – it took engineering know-how and back breaking work to create this “Big Ditch.”  But, the story of Chicago's challenges as a booming metropolis started way before the re-direction of the Chicago River and has everything to do with its location on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan and the great Chicago population boom.  Further, Chicago's days of flooding are far from over related to climate change and its continued large population.

The high desert of Northern Arizona has been a hotbed for trail running for decades. The combination of altitude, changing topography, and year-round trail access the region affords helps to harden the legs and fortify the lungs. It's perhaps no coincidence then that since moving to Flagstaff in early 2021, adidas TERREX pro, Abby Hall, has been tearing up the international racing scene. So, we sat down with her to talk about some of the changes she's made to fuel this success in a winding conversation that also includes a recount of a potential UFO encounter, musings on writing and creativity, an ode to the Eastern Sierra, and much more.

The Mortgage Cash Back Ladder: (for a $500,000 mortgage)1.0% cash back ($5,000) = 2.89% 5 year Fixed Rate, or 1.45% Variable Rate 1.5% cash back ($7,500) = 3.04% 5 year Fixed Rate, or 1.50% Variable Rate2.0% cash back ($10,000) = 3.19% 5 year Fixed Rate, or 1.60% Variable Rate3.0% cash back ($15,000) = 3.49% 5 year Fixed Rate, or 1.85% Variable Rate5.0% cash back ($25,000) = 3.94% 5 year Fixed Rate, or 2.35% Variable RateHere are some smart and useful ways to get the most bang from your Mortgage Cash Back proceeds:pay all or a portion of your closing costs (property transfer tax, legal fees, home inspection, movers, etc)use the proceeds to suit up your new place (furniture, new appliances, etc.)begin work on any renovation or home improvement projects (new paint, kitchen, bathroom, etc.)pay off high interest debt (credit cards, lines of credit, etc)invest the cash back proceeds in investments (rrsp, tfsa, stocks, etc)...basically, you can do whatever you desire with the proceedsBut what's the catch?Here are the key fine print conditions to be aware of when signing up for a cash back mortgage:be aware that you are getting an interest rate that is higher than what you would have received on a mortgage without a cash back component. The difference in rate depends on how much cash back proceeds you are opting for (see "The Cash Back Ladder" above)be aware that all (or a scaled portion) of the cash back proceeds will be owed back to the lender if you discharge your mortgage ahead of its maturity. Not only would you be subject to the standard payout penalty of breaking a mortgage ahead of its maturity, but also the balance of the cash back proceeds, as well (heads up!). But if you ride out the term to its maturity, you are safe - no penalties! For example, let's say you secured a cash back mortgage for a 5 year fixed term of $500,000 with a 3% cash back of $15,000. If you broke the mortgage ahead of its maturity (let's say 2 years in to a 5 year term), you would be charged the standard penalty of ~$4,000 (this is just an estimate and best case break penalty scenario) and as much as the full $15,000 may need to be returned to the lender (this is the absolute worst case scenario as some lenders will rebate the portion you have maintained during your current term, and fewer will outright forgive the entire cash back proceeds all together!). So, you could potentially have a total penalty of ~$19,000. But if you ride it out for the entire term (5 year), you will not owe anything...you can then simply renew into another term or even switch to another lender without any fees or penalties.Contact Marko, he's a Mortgage Broker!604-800-9593 direct Vancouver403-606-3751 direct Calgarymarkogelo.comFacebook@markogelo (Twitter)MarkoMusic (SoundCloud Account)...all podcast music tracks are performed and produced by Marko See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this introductory episode for Season 2 of Learning How to See, Brian, Gigi, Mike and Paul review the biases and talk about two biases that set the stage for all the others: Confirmation Bias: the human brain welcomes information that confirms what it already thinks and resist information that disturbs or contradicts what it already thinks. Complexity Bias: the human brain prefers a simple lie to a complex truth.

No Guests!A dreaded Just-Me episode. I had some housecleaning things to talk about and didn't want to stack the front part of the next episode with them. Since I had some extra time I decided to get into a story that illustrates my current political feelings regarding independent breweries. I may delve into this deeper if I can ever find a mutual moment with the planned guest.The @BuffaloEats Buffalo Brewery Bracket ContestAbout a month back I ran a contest to coincide with @BuffaloEats Buffalo Brewery Battle on Twitter. After all was said and done, Big Ditch came out victorious, but what I asked for were predictions.I received a handful of filled-in brackets and scored them using a 1-2-3-4 system (4 points for predicting the final, 3 for the final two, 2 for the final four, and 1 for the elite eight).We had two winners tie with 17 points so each will be receiving a consumers gift card so I may "buy them a growler fill".PatreonI started a Patreon page a while back. Patreon is a way for listeners to pledge money for content in a style similar to NPR. It's a monthly pledge and this month, we got our first Patron in Andy Dvornski of The Clean Beer Initiative. Look for en episode with him soon.My Trip to Europe and Why InBev Ruins Everything.I generally don't like to get political, but take a listen. InBev sucks and I lay out a rant about why.

You can always find mystery and adventure at the Café Tambourine, the Cairo nightclub run by American ex-pat and amateur detective Rocky Jordan. Jack Moyles stars as Jordan, a combination Sam Spade and Rick Blaine who’s trying to make an honest dollar in a den of thieves. Rocky investigates crimes and capers through the bazaars and back alleys of Cairo. We’ll hear “The Big Ditch” (originally aired on CBS on June 19, 1949) and “Cairo Vendetta” (originally aired on CBS on August 14, 1949).

This week, I discuss a beer trip I recently took. We put together a tour of Buffalo brewing history and put a bus together to take a small group out for charity...then they never showed! So we did the tour to ourselves! I got to speak to Ethan Cox from Community Beer Works about his book. I also discuss The Buffalo Brewers Series cans from Big Ditch, Resurgence, and Community Beer Works.Lastly, I talk about my kegerators and about kegging homebrew beer.
