Episode 523 - Paul Vecchiet - The Disclosure Paradox, science fiction novelsABOUT THE AUTHORPaul Vecchiet was born in Trieste, Italy and came to the United States with his parents at the age of three. He's lived most of his life in Chicago suburbs. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in architecture design. Soon after, he joined the Air Force to be a Civil Engineering officer where he had an experience that caused him to be cynical of conventional wisdom. After thirteen years, he left the service and practiced architecture in Illinois. He is currently employed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Paul lives with his wife, Janice, and their grandson, Lennon in rural West Virginia, where they can see a canopy of stars at night.“Though presented in fictional form, anyone familiar with various anomalous phenomena will recognize the fact-based narratives depicted in The Disclosure Paradox. Thought-provoking, even those with deep involvement in those fields will find themselves questioning where reality stops, and fantasy begins. Or does it? Many of the names are recognizable and the narrative extremely well interwoven. The physical and spiritual are merged into Louis Silvani's life mission to understand a complex and rewarding destiny.”John B. AlexanderPhD“A fascinating tale about a secret world that we only glimpse dimly through the eyes of a dedicated and obsessive group who give up everything to find the truth and stop a hideous plot to control our destiny. A beguiling blend of horror, science fiction, and riveting action, with realistic characters and plot twists that will leave you breathless. Highly recommended.”Frank E. LeeWXRT-FM, Chicago“I loved this book! It starts out with Louis on his tedious UFO lecture circuit, easing you into ET culture slowly like getting into a nice warm bath. But before you know it, our unexpected hero is on a cross-country mind-expanding adventure of a lifetime. It is a wild ride! The characters are rich and believable. The ET subject matter is accurately portrayed. In the end Louis finds his roots, and I am left wondering what I can do to improve humanity!”Steve Jacobsonretired aerospace engineer for NASA, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and the US Navyhttps://thedisclosureparadox.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

In today's podcast we take a deep dive into embodied carbon and try to get a better understanding of why infrastructure professionals need to make its assessment more than just a nice add on but a fundamental part of the design process.The construction and infrastructure sectors are undergoing a major transformation as the industry seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and meet global net-zero targets. While operational carbon—emissions from heating, cooling, and electricity use—has traditionally been the focus of sustainability efforts, embodied carbon - emissions that are locked in at the point of construction and cannot be reduced over time - is now taking centre stage. To discuss this issue, my guest today is Adrian Campbell, founder of the Change Building consultancy and someone that I like to describe as an industry sustainability guru and my go-to expert when it comes to reducing carbon across the infrastructure lifecycle.  Full disclosure; I have known Adrian since we studied Civil Engineering together at the University of Southampton back in the 1980s. Well, he did the studying as I remember! Adrian has made a return to the University of Southampton as a tutor and lecturer and as Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor in Sustainable Development and Climate Impact He  has just produced a new guide to help students get to grips with assessing embodied carbon - a rapidly developing area of professional competence which should provide the skills and judgment to help improve designs and help move us towards the goal of net zero carbon.For students entering the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction, embracing embodied carbon assessment is no longer optional—it is a vital skill for shaping a sustainable built environment. As Adrian puts it, having an awareness of the reasons for its adoption (the ‘why') and some experience of assessment (the ‘how') is now expected as part of the role of the engineer.However, this presents challenges: data inconsistencies, limited industry knowledge, and balancing carbon reductions with performance and cost make it a complex area to navigate. So let's find out why students should engage with embodied carbon thinking early in their careers.ResourcesAdrian Campbell Linked in Southampton University Embodied Carbon guideChange Building websiteUniversity of Southampton websitePositive Collective Royal Academy of Engineering Institution of Structural Engineers - how to calculate embodied carbon

Climate risk is no longer a distant concern—it’s already shaping how banks, insurers, and homeowners approach property. In this episode, we sit down with Philip Tapsell from XDI Systems, part of the Climate Risk Group, to explore how climate-related risks are being measured and factored into financial decisions. How close are banks to pricing in climate risk with mortgages? What happens when certain areas become uninsurable? And what can property owners do to safeguard their investments? Philip breaks down the growing impact of extreme weather on property values and highlights the information gap between financial institutions and everyday buyers. We discuss the challenges of outdated flood maps, the shifting approach to risk assessment, and whether institutions are doing enough to prepare for future disasters. We also touch on how other countries are responding—some taking proactive steps, others simply waiting for someone else to move first. If you’re a property owner or buyer, this conversation is a must-listen to understand what climate risk means for your biggest asset. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:00 - Who is Philip Tapsall? 02:10 - What made Philip leave the banks? 04:15 - Philip's major concerns when it comes to climate risk and property 06:55 - Why flood maps have been redone, and its impact on property buyers 11:33 - Are banks and insurers avoiding the reality of climate risk? 15:17 - Proactive or reactive: Are we handling climate risk the wrong way? 18:45 - Is climate risk hitting lower-income communities the hardest? 21:04 - What needs to change in the next decade to protect property from climate risk? 24:05 - Should we focus on protecting existing homes instead of restricting new builds? 26:43 - How property value, population, and location impact climate risk 30:48 - Are affluent nations taking action on climate risk, or still in denial? 40:06 - What climate risk ratings really mean for homeowners 47:47 - Climate risks beyond fire and flood homeowners should watch for 54:15 - Philip Tapsall’s property dumbo About Our Guest: Philip Tapsall is the Head of Corporate and Finance Sector Engagement at XDI Systems.

I have a background in music–classically trained in violin and viola–and that informs the way I go about some of the more technical things I do. It opens me up to endless possibilities.Sustainable living shouldn't be a luxury—it should be the standard. That's the driving philosophy behind Corey Johnson's innovative real estate development project, NEIGHBR. Corey, the founder and CEO of NEIGHBR, is pioneering a bold new approach to housing that integrates sustainability, affordability, and a resort-style community experience."We like to build spaces that positively impact our community and really serve as a prototype for the future of sustainable living," Corey told me in this episode. His development firm isn't just creating housing—it's showcasing what's possible when cutting-edge technology, biophilic design, and eco-conscious infrastructure come together.At the heart of NEIGHBR's vision is an eco-village concept that fuses sustainability with affordability. The project features tiny homes, geodomes, on-site farming, and commercial spaces, all built with renewable energy sources and water conservation systems. “We're using solar, geothermal, rainwater harvesting, on-site composting, and a farmhouse that fosters a circular economy,” Corey explained.What makes NEIGHBR truly unique is its reimagining of financial accessibility in housing. By leveraging investment crowdfunding, Corey is inviting everyday people to be part of the journey from the very beginning. “What I love about this approach is that it allows people to feel like they've been along for the journey,” he said. “I like to believe that those early investors will really be some of our earliest residents.”NEIGHBR is currently raising capital through Funding Hope, an investment platform aligned with the United Nations' sustainable development goals. For Corey, choosing Funding Hope was intentional: “We're after positively impacting the climate. We're about making people better. And Funding Hope shares that mission.”The first NEIGHBR eco-village will take root in Atlanta, Georgia, with plans for rapid expansion nationwide. With a vision to scale sustainable communities across the country, Corey and his team are laying the foundation for a new model of housing—one that isn't just environmentally responsible but also socially transformative.To learn more about NEIGHBR and explore investment opportunities, visit s4g.biz/neighbr.tl;dr:* Corey Johnson's NEIGHBR project is reimagining sustainable housing with eco-friendly, affordable, and community-focused designs.* NEIGHBR integrates renewable energy, biophilic architecture, and financial accessibility to create resort-style eco-villages.* Corey leverages investment crowdfunding through Funding Hope, inviting the public to participate in the project's growth.* Corey's superpower, "artistic engineering," blends technical precision with creative vision to build transformative spaces.* Through innovation and community engagement, NEIGHBR aims to scale sustainable living across the nation, redefining housing for future generations.How to Develop Artistic Engineering As a SuperpowerCorey describes his superpower as "artistic engineering." Rooted in both his background in civil engineering and his classical training in violin and viola, Corey fuses technical precision with creative vision. "I almost feel like I'm Dr. Strange, who can just grab all types of different ideas and actually pull them into reality," he explained. By balancing analytical problem-solving with artistic expression, Corey designs spaces that are not only functional but also deeply engaging and transformative.Corey exemplified his superpower when designing and building a wellness facility in Atlanta. While ensuring the structure met technical and regulatory standards, he infused the space with biophilic elements, including a koi pond, to foster a sense of tranquility. "We can solve real-world problems, but if something doesn't feel good to the human soul when they interact with it, that can be a challenge," he said. His ability to merge aesthetics with engineering created a space that left visitors in awe, proving that artistic engineering can elevate both form and function.Tips for Developing Artistic Engineering:* Embrace Both Logic and Creativity: Don't limit yourself to one way of thinking—tap into both analytical and imaginative processes.* Immerse Yourself in Music: Corey believes listening to classical compositions enhances problem-solving and fosters a deeper understanding of complexity.* Stay Open to Possibilities: Approach challenges with a mindset that solutions can come from unexpected places.* Prioritize Humanity in Design: Consider the emotional and sensory experience of the spaces and products you create.* Observe Nature's Balance: Nature seamlessly integrates structure and beauty—use it as inspiration for your own projects.By following Corey Johnson's example and advice, you can make artistic engineering a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileCorey Johnson (he/him):CEO, Founder, NEIGHBRAbout NEIGHBR: NEIGHBR is a world-building organization dedicated to creating spaces that enhance the human experience at scale. As a leader in the social infrastructure sector, NEIGHBR engages in project consulting, development, and social impact investing.

Episode: 1325 The day Mulholland's St. Francis Dam broke.  Today, an almost-forgotten catastrophe.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 3, identify fraud is the featured crime. This is Will the Real John Shady Please Stand Up? by TG WolffAbout Identify FraudIdentity Fraud, also called Identity Theft, is when someone uses your personal or financial information without your permission. This information can include names and addresses, Credit card or Social Security numbers, Bank account numbers, Medical insurance account numberIn February 2024, the Federal Trade Commission released data showing consumers reported losing more than $10 billion to fraud in 2023. This was a 14% increase over 2022. Investment scams led the fraud category with $4.6 billion, a 21% increase. The second highest loss was to imposture schemes with $2.7 billion reported.There are several ways that scammers can steal your identity, including in person, online, through social media, and by phone. Scammers may:Steal your wallet or purse to get ID, credit, or bank cardsGo through your trash to retrieve bank statements or tax documentsInstall skimmers at ATM machines, cash registers, and fuel pumps to digitally steal information from your bank cardGet personal information from your phone when you use public Wi-FiUse “phishing” to get information from you through fraudulent email, texts, or phone callsLook through your social media accounts to find identifying information in posts or photos.

I'm a writer, an engineer, a wife, and a mother. What is first on the list depends on the day. Beyond the title I claim, I'm a person who loves learning and thoroughly enjoys a good puzzle, is creative and gets bored easily. I hold a BS in Civil Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and an MS in Civil Engineering from Cleveland State University, which gives me absolutely no background in writing, but I do it anyway. Writing mysteries and engineering isn't as different as you'd think. Both require using logic and process to get from a starting problem to a solution.Find me at

Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus? (The Loving-kindness of G-d) by Mark Stouffer Amazon.com Lovingkindnessofadonai.com WHILE arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; . . .” In this series of books we will examine the Tanakh in order to see if Jesus' claim has any merit. In Hesed we will consider if the sacrificial system prescribed in the Torah prefigures Jesus' death on the cross. We will do so by asking such root level questions as: Why did the Jews need to sacrifice lambs at the first Passover in order to be exempt from G-d's judgement? After all, they were the victims in this event of slavery and oppression. Why did the High Priest need to immediately exit G-d's presence once he sprinkled the blood in the Holy of Holies? Didn't the blood atone for his sins on Yom Kippur? et.al. We will also examine the lives of Joseph, Moses, David, and Daniel. For, there are some noticeable similarities between their lives and Jesus' life. The question is, were these details purposely inserted in the Tanakh to foreshadow Jesus, or is this just a coincidence? Join author Mark Stouffer as he seeks to understand the intended meaning of the Biblical authors. Hesed is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also good for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.About the author Mark Stouffer is a retired engineer who lives with his family in Columbus, Ohio. He was born in 1960 and grew up loving sports. Mark graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from Ohio State in 1983. After college, G-d reached out to Mark. G-d held Mark's heart in His hand and said, “I am here.” Mark received Jesus as his L-rd and Savior, and everything changed. Mark has a passion for the Bible, which he has been studying and teaching for over 40 years. It has always been Mark's goal to learn the message that each Bible author intended as opposed to trying to make the Bible agree with his beliefs. Out of His grace, G-d called Mark to write this important four volume series. Indeed, the subject of these books was never Mark's idea.
