What if sunlight alone—not heat—was silently destroying your concrete? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth Tandett and Bob Higgins uncover a groundbreaking MIT study that reveals evaporation can be driven by light, not just temperature. This discovery doesn't just change climate models—it could explain why concrete in the field fails in ways labs never predict. From sublimation and surface chemistry to curing practices and accountability, this episode forces the industry to face a missing piece of science hiding in plain sight. What You'll Learn - Can light alone drive evaporation—and what does that mean for concrete curing? - Why does cold-weather curing produce more durable concrete? - Is sublimation the hidden culprit behind freeze–thaw damage? - How does surface relative humidity affect cement formation efficiency? - Why do laboratory tests keep producing results that don't match the field? - Could pigmented curing compounds or internal curing be the next solution? - Are installers being unfairly blamed for failures tied to ignored science?

Project 2025 has quickly become the most consequential—and controversial—blueprint for American governance in recent history. Conceived by the Heritage Foundation and launched with a sprawling 927-page policy manual in April 2023, Project 2025's core goal is to reshape the entire federal government according to staunch conservative priorities. It is, as Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts puts it, an effort to “dismantle the administrative state and restore presidential control over the executive branch.”Yet behind those words lies an ambitious checklist for the next presidential administration, presuming a Republican—most likely Donald Trump—takes office. Project 2025 is not just a collection of ideas. It is a detailed playbook, complete with executive orders, departmental reorganization timetables, and a so-called 180-day playbook, designed for rapid execution on “Day One.”At the heart of Project 2025 is an unprecedented push to centralize power in the Oval Office. The plan relies on the controversial unitary executive theory, which argues all executive branch employees should be directly answerable to the president. Kevin Roberts has been explicit: “All federal employees should answer to the president.” According to the project manual, entire agencies such as the Department of Justice, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Federal Trade Commission would lose their current independence and fall under direct White House control.One of the most sweeping reforms revolves around personnel. The blueprint resurrects the idea of “Schedule F”—a Trump-era category that would allow the president to reclassify tens of thousands of career civil servants as political appointees, instantly stripping them of protections from partisan firing. The National Federation of Federal Employees warns this would “give the president and his loyalists full control of the executive branch for personal and political gain,” hollowing out civil service checks that have traditionally protected against corruption and patronage.Concrete examples illustrate the scale of the changes envisioned. In foreign policy, the State Department chapter recommends that, before January 20, all leadership be dismissed and replaced with ideologically aligned “acting” appointees who bypass Senate confirmation entirely. Kiron Skinner, the former policy planning chief who wrote this section, has called for removing staff she considers too left-leaning, despite admitting she could not name a single time employees substantively obstructed White House policy.The playbook doesn't stop there. Project 2025 proposes slashing federal workforce numbers through forced attrition, with the White House directing agency heads to lay off or consolidate thousands of positions and eliminate entire offices deemed non-essential. For example, agencies like USAID and the CFPB are earmarked for dissolution, their functions either axed or merged into departments more closely monitored by the executive.Critics from organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union highlight how Project 2025 seeks to erode key civil liberties across a range of issues—abortion, LGBTQ rights, free speech, and the environment. The ACLU describes the initiative as “a roadmap for how to replace the rule of law with right-wing ideals.” Meanwhile, labor unions such as AFGE and NTEU have mounted lawsuits to block the executive orders targeting civil service protections, warning of the dangers of introducing broad political loyalty tests into government hiring and firing.Supporters claim these moves would eliminate bureaucratic inertia and bring swift, accountable leadership to Washington. Yet, legal scholars and former officials have called Project 2025 authoritarian, warning it undermines separation of powers and blurs the lines between partisanship and governance.With the November 2024 presidential election looming, Project 2025's fate comes down to political winds and court rulings. The Heritage Foundation and its partners have prepared a rapid-fire battery of executive orders, ready for signature if they get their candidate in office. Milestones to watch include ongoing legal challenges, Congressional resistance, and, above all, the outcome of the national vote.The scope and ambition of Project 2025 are nothing short of historic, representing both a culmination of decades-long conservative advocacy and an inflection point in debates over the very structure of American democracy.

Project 2025 began with a clandestine meeting of political strategists and conservative activists in the spring of 2022, their goal clear and unsettling: to engineer a dramatic transformation of American governance. By April 2023, this ambition took written form—a sprawling, 900-page policy blueprint released by the Heritage Foundation and dubbed Mandate for Leadership. Its stated purpose was simple: destroy the so-called “Administrative State” and concentrate presidential power like never before.Supporters of Project 2025 call it a necessary overhaul, arguing that “an unaccountable and biased bureaucracy” has long obstructed the will of the people. The plan's central premise is to place the entire federal executive branch, including agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI, under direct White House control. As Kevin Roberts, Heritage Foundation president, declared, “All federal employees should answer to the president.” The project's architects are explicit—they want to rid agencies of perceived ideological opponents, filling key roles with loyalists on “Day One.” They envision the president hiring scores of political appointees with no expiration date, using what's known as Schedule F. Under this system, career civil servants could be transferred into politically appointed positions, stripping away their traditional legal protections against arbitrary removal or political interference.Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department section of Project 2025, was blunt about her intentions: remove all senior staff and bring in conservatives ready to serve the administration's agenda. When interviewer Peter Bergen pressed her in June 2024 to provide examples of bureaucratic resistance, she came up empty handed. Despite this, the plan moves forward.Concrete proposals are sweeping. Project 2025 prescribes eliminating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the United States Agency for International Development outright. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, wasted no time, dissolving entire agencies, laying off tens of thousands, and initiating a government-wide return-to-office mandate. These personnel moves layered chaos atop the rollback of existing policy, leaving many agency missions in limbo.In criminal justice, Project 2025's recommendations are transformative and controversial. The agenda calls for the Department of Justice to charge or remove local prosecutors who, in their view, fail to sufficiently prosecute crimes like low-level marijuana possession or shoplifting. This would dismantle the tradition of local prosecutorial discretion, potentially pressuring DAs elected on reform platforms to abandon their priorities for fear of federal retribution. The plan also aims to expand federal law enforcement into local jurisdictions deemed “soft” on crime. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, these changes would shift the balance of power away from local communities and toward a politically driven federal apparatus.Project 2025 extends well beyond law enforcement. Its architects target environmental regulations, labor rights, health policies, and civil liberties. Detractors such as the ACLU warn that this initiative represents “a dystopian view of America,” threatening civil rights, reproductive freedoms, and hard-won democratic norms. The Center for Progressive Reform describes the project as “an authoritarian blueprint” likely to weaken the very institutions meant to protect public health, the environment, and equitable governance.Yet, proponents remain undeterred. They envision a streamlined government, claiming it will be more effective and responsive, a nod to longstanding conservative desires to reduce bureaucracy and entrench executive authority. Critics, however, see dangers in the centralization of power, the erosion of checks and balances, and the removal of expert administrators in favor of partisan loyalists.As the next presidential transition approaches, all eyes turn to the practical impact of Project 2025's prescriptions. Lawsuits and public pushback are already in motion, with labor unions and advocacy groups scrambling to block or mitigate the plan's most far-reaching aspects. Whether this ambitious blueprint will upend American governance or falter in the face of legal and institutional resistance remains uncertain.Thank you for tuning in.

In this episode, GG Hawkins speaks with writer-director-producer Nora Fiffer about her debut feature Another Happy Day, and how she achieved a rare feat in indie filmmaking: shooting on strict eight‑hour days while providing on‑set childcare. The two explore how this family-friendly approach—driven by Fiffer's own journey into motherhood—shaped every stage of production, from scheduling and budgeting to set morale and creative decision-making. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins, and guest Nora Fiffer discuss… The personal impetus behind Another Happy Day—how motherhood inspired the story and production values Creating a collaborative, theater-informed mindset that fueled preparation and efficiency Concrete strategies for implementing eight‑hour shooting days and on‑set childcare as non-negotiables in budget and schedule How fewer setups, lean shot lists, and actor preparation maximized time and morale Using fixed creative constraints as generative tools—not limitations Securing talent like Lauren Lapkus, Carrie Coon, and Marilyn Dodds Frank through personalized writing and deep connections Pitching the film to investors with equity and inclusion baked into its DNA (childcare prominently featured, even in opening credits) The importance of making such practices visible to normalize them across the industry Lessons learned in post-production—how the same efficiency and clarity from production didn't automatically carry over How Fiffer plans to carry this ethos forward in future projects Memorable Quotes “What the priority was emerging to shoot eight‑hour days, in addition to providing childcare, this now impacted how we were going to shoot it even before we got to production.” “By prioritizing childcare and the eight‑hour days in the budget… that was untouched.” “Everyone came with fresh ideas.” “I planned every moment, every beat… I knew the script, the story, the characters and the edit in my head so well.” Guests: Nora Fiffer — Writer, director, producer, actor of Another Happy Day Resources: Nora Fiffer, Another Happy Day I Really Love My Husband Instagram Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School (https://nofilmschool.com/) Facebook: No Film School on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool) Twitter: No Film School on Twitter (https://twitter.com/nofilmschool) YouTube: No Film School on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool) Instagram: No Film School on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool)

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with fellow podcasters KiKi L'Italien (former EVP Marketing & Community), Joanna Pineda (CEO, Matrix Group), and Dave Will (Co-founder, PropFuel) to discuss why technology implementations often take longer than expected. From strategic misalignment and governance bottlenecks to emotional resistance and resource constraints, the group explores the underlying causes of slow change. Themes and Topics:The Emotional Impact of Letting GoKiKi shares her experience stepping away from Association Chat after 16 years, describing a mix of grief and relief.Joanna reflects on taking a break from LinkedIn during a personal loss and the surprising sense of freedom it brought.The group discusses how identity and purpose are often tied to long-term projects, making change psychologically difficult.Strategic Planning and Prioritization GapsAssociations often struggle to define clear strategic goals, making it hard to prioritize technology decisions.Lack of alignment on KPIs leads to confusion and stalled initiatives.Dave Will emphasizes that knowing what's important makes change easier and faster.Governance and Decision-Making BottlenecksToo many stakeholders involved in decisions leads to paralysis and delays.Joanna suggests sunsetting committees when strategic plans change to realign focus and authority.Leadership must clarify who owns decisions and avoid retroactive interference.Risk Aversion and Culture of CautionAssociations operate in a highly visible environment, making them more cautious about failure.Fear of public scrutiny and investing too early in emerging tech (like AI) slows down innovation.Dave Will notes that experimentation is often discouraged, even when it could lead to valuable breakthroughs.Leadership and Ownership Leadership must define clear goals and empower teams to make decisions without fear of being second-guessed.Joanna highlights the importance of psychological safety and trust in project ownership.Late-stage leadership involvement often derails progress and undermines team autonomy.Resource Constraints and Internal SilosMany associations lack internal tech expertise or project management capacity, leading to delays.Misunderstanding the need for internal PMs results in stalled implementations.Silos between departments (e.g., marketing, membership, IT) hinder collaboration and alignment.

Back in 2011, the industry said portland-limestone cement (PLC) came with “no significant risks.” By 2024, the updated report admits higher carbonation rates, chloride ingress concerns, admixture sensitivity, and tighter curing demands. In this solo episode, Seth lays out what actually changed between the 2011 and 2024 reports, what the case studies do—and don't—prove, and asks the blunt question: would PLC be this widespread without the CO₂ storyline? What You'll Learn - What the 2011 report promised vs. what the 2024 report now admits. - How carbonation, chloride ingress, admixture control, and curing show up in the latest findings. - What the project examples (PCA exposure site, Utah DOT bridges, Texas pavements, European jobs) really say. - Claimed upsides beyond CO₂: energy savings, workability, and mass concrete heat benefits. - Why PLC is less forgiving than Type I/II—and what that means on real jobs. - The big question: is PLC an innovation or a policy-driven shift? Chapters 00:00 – Welcome, solo setup, and callback to EP #126 00:30 – Why revisit PLC? ACA's comment and the 2024 report 02:00 – Blended cement usage spike: under 10% to ~65% in a few years 03:00 – 2011 → 2024: from “no risk” to “manageable issues” 05:00 – Admixtures/air, SCMs, and curing: where sensitivity shows up 07:00 – Positives claimed beyond CO₂: energy, workability, mass concrete 08:30 – What case studies actually show (PCA prisms, Utah bridges, Texas pavements, Europe) 12:00 – PLC is less forgiving: tighter margins than Type I/II 13:30 – What's still missing: long-term (50–100 yr) performance proof 15:30 – Would PLC exist without the CO₂ narrative? 16:30 – Support the show + open invite for guests 17:30 – Outro Concrete Logic Academy Want to go further?

Every man needs a rule of life—a clear, concrete framework that keeps prayer, family, work, and virtue in order. Without it, we risk wasting time, neglecting our duties, and drifting through life. With it, we gain clarity, perseverance, and a spiritual roadmap toward sanctity.In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, we explore:Natural benefits of a rule: better use of time, decisiveness, consistency, and efficiency.Supernatural benefits: transforming daily actions into prayer, combating disorder, and conforming life to God's will.For your neighbor: how your fidelity inspires others, balances prayer and apostolic works, and sanctifies your community.The right balance: flexibility without laxity, firmness without scrupulosity.Concrete considerations: prayer, family life, work, personal discipline, community, and apostolic action.A rule of life isn't about rigidity—it's about freedom: God first, then your soul, your family, and your apostolate.“He who lives by rule, lives unto God.”

The fitness landscape is shifting at Double-Edged Fitness as we combine our South and Midtown locations into a single, expansive facility. This strategic consolidation creates a space twice the size of our South location, featuring 26 squat racks and approximately 60 pull-up bars – ensuring members have unprecedented access to equipment during workouts.Construction remains on schedule, with concrete removal complete and new flooring being poured next week. We're targeting September 15th for our grand reopening, bringing together both communities under one roof. While this transition naturally raises questions about class sizes and logistics, we're implementing thoughtful solutions to maintain the quality experience our members expect. Most classes will settle at comfortable levels between 17-20 participants, with our popular 5AM class temporarily limited to current regular attendees until attendance patterns stabilize.To enhance everyone's experience, we're encouraging advance class sign-ups through the MindBody app and iPad check-ins upon arrival. These simple adjustments allow our coaching staff to prepare equipment setups tailored to exact class sizes and focus more energy on delivering outstanding instruction. Membership rates will remain unchanged through at least 2026, despite widespread inflation affecting nearly every industry. Additionally, we're addressing practical concerns like parking with a complete lot renovation in September, providing 42 dedicated spots plus ample street parking during morning hours.September is also our designated weigh-in month, with InBody scans available to track progress toward our community goals of 1,000 pounds of fat loss and 300 pounds of muscle gain this year. We welcome your questions and feedback as we navigate this exciting transition – many of our best ideas have come directly from member suggestions. Join us as we build not just a larger facility, but a stronger, more unified fitness community.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/

Police death scene where multiple crosses were turned upside down. We break down the timeline, the exact detail that raised red flags, what Catholic exorcists say about desecrated objects, the tests we would run, what would falsify the claim, and our confidence. In this conversation, Scott and Tim delve into a mysterious case involving a dead body found in a contorted position, surrounded by religious items. They explore the evidence presented by law enforcement, the implications of mental illness, and the skepticism surrounding claims of demonic possession. The discussion highlights the importance of medical records, investigative techniques, and the impact of personal beliefs on interpretations of supernatural events. Ultimately, they reflect on the complexities of the case and share their final thoughts and scores on the plausibility of the claims made.

Cement is one of the most-consumed materials on Earth — second only to water — and it accounts for a whopping eight percent of the world's carbon pollution. What if we could turn this climate villain into a hero? Clean tech innovator and serial entrepreneur Ryan Gilliam reveals his company's surprisingly simple process for transforming waste from the cement-making process back into limestone using existing infrastructure, creating a competitive and eco-friendly product that could pave the way for gigaton-scale climate solutions.After the talk, Sherrell reflects on the market for green cement and highlights other initiatives working to increase transparency and adopt lower-emission products.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

Worldwide, 150 million women get urinary tract infections (UTIs) yearly, and 30-44% of them get recurrent UTIs (defined as 2+ infections in 6 months, or 3+ in a year.)I was one of those women.UTIs are so prevalent that they are the second-most common reason for antibiotic prescriptions on the planet. And in case you've never had one, rest assured that UTIs are painful, disruptive, and deeply anxiety-producing.They are also, 90% of the time, contracted due to sexual intercourse.UTIs are a sex problem, which often also makes them a relationship problem. If you, as a man, has had a woman partner who was stressed about having sex out of fear of getting a UTI; a friend with serious health issues due to her gut biome being decimated by antibiotics; or a sex partner who was in tears, in despair at getting yet another one, you're far from alone.Fortunately, you be a hero to all the women in your lives by spreading the word about a solution:Good Kitty has an extremely effective prevention method. Their doctor-developed, urologist-approved formula supports good bacteria, neutralizes the bad when it matters (i.e. right after sex), and impacts the bacteria in the gut that cause UTIs, thus helping to prevent recurrence.This interview with Meghan Blake, CEO and co-founder of Good Kitty, is both entertaining sobering, enlightening, and uplifting. Also, I drop a few F-bombs, so that's always fun. ;)Real talk: Reliable UTI prevention is life-changing for both her sex life, and yours.Work with usIf you're committed to breaking old patterns and transforming your sex & love life in a real and lasting way, we'd love to work with you.

Just say “NO.” Some approaches to “abundance” are healthy, but one brand of abundance that's been capturing the cultural moment lately is a recipe for a dead planet. Dave and Stephanie assess key points made by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson in their book, Abundance. The result, a sound thrashing. The authors believe “America needs to build and invent more of the things it needs.” They advocate eliminating regulatory barriers that are keeping us from getting more, faster. Conservation and environmental stewardship are not on the agenda. Klein is a columnist for The New York Times and host of The Ezra Klein Show. Derek is a writer at The Atlantic and host of the Plain English podcast. They lean left, so many are suggesting the Democratic party should adopt “the abundance agenda” as it remakes itself in the wake of 2024 electoral defeat. In this episode, we make the case against that. We're not alone. Among the links we provide below are some additional thoughtful and articulate critiques of the book and agenda.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Economic Wisdom from the Natural World: The Serviceberry – episode 92 of the GrowthBusters podcasthttps://www.growthbusters.org/serviceberry/ Abundance – by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompsonhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176444106-abundance The Elite's Fixation with Low Birth Rates – Overshoot podcast episode with Samuel Miller McDonaldhttps://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/samuel-miller-mcdonald An Abundance of Concrete – by Ben Goldfarbhttps://defector.com/an-abundance-of-concrete Colorado Matters episode with Ben Goldfarbhttps://www.cpr.org/2025/06/27/interview-ben-goldfarb-state-of-conservation/ Bezos: We're Going to Need Another Planet – episode 89 of the GrowthBusters podcasthttps://www.growthbusters.org/bezos-need-another-planet/ On Abundance - by The Last Farmhttps://www.resilience.org/stories/2025-07-16/on-abundance (Note: a good critique of “abundance” but a narrow solution.

Is Artificial Intelligence coming for your job in concrete? That's the big question in this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast. Seth sits down with Chad Gill, President of VAs for Construction, to unpack how AI is already reshaping the industry. From jobsite communication and safety talks to project management and career paths, this episode tackles the uncomfortable truth: AI isn't just a tool—it's a disruptor. The opportunities are real, but so are the threats. If you're in concrete and construction, you can't afford to ignore what's coming. What You'll Learn What exactly is AI and a large language model (and why should concrete pros care)? How can field leaders use AI to turn jobsite chaos into clear, professional communication? What practical AI tools exist today for handling manuals, SDS sheets, specs, and safety talks? Why are “gray collar” trades positioned uniquely in the AI shift? How will AI impact the traditional career ladder for project engineers and assistant PMs? Is AI really taking jobs—or just changing how we use people on jobsites? How can companies re-skill and re-align their workforce to get ahead of this shift? Chapters 00:00 – Welcome and intro to Chad Gill 01:00 – AI in construction: hype vs reality 02:15 – Defining AI and large language models 07:00 – Why AI adoption feels like a “tectonic shift” 09:05 – Concrete industry use cases for AI 11:00 – AI for manuals, specs, and safety talks 14:00 – The importance of good prompts (“prompt jockeys”) 17:30 – Voice-to-text and better field reporting 20:00 – AI for project management and estimating 22:00 – Avoiding hallucinations and bad data 25:00 – Coaching, feedback, and leadership with AI 27:00 – Pre-pour meetings and training applications 29:00 – Will project engineer jobs disappear? 33:00 – Realigning roles for efficiency and safety 35:00 – Final thoughts and how to connect with Chad Guest Info Chad Gill – President, VAs for Construction Website: https://vas4construction.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-gill Concrete Logic Academy Want to go further?

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit, your ultimate guide to making good homes better! We're covering a lot of ground today, so here's a quick rundown of what we're talking about and the incredible callers we're helping with expert home improvement advice:  - Bathroom Design Ideas: We offer a range of modern design ideas for bathrooms, from cozy powder rooms to luxurious spa spaces, drawing inspiration from Wallpaper Magazine to elevate your space and style. - Patio Furniture Care: Get valuable tips for cleaning and storing patio furniture made from various materials, including wicker, metal, wood, and cushions, to ensure they stay in great shape for seasons to come. - Concrete Post Footings: We discuss the value of Quikrete's fast-setting concrete as an easy way to set posts for fences, mailboxes, or basketball hoops, producing strong, stable results in under an hour without mixing or mess! - Kids' Room Décor: Learn about the art of redecorating kids' rooms, including the importance of budget planning, material selection, safety, and thinking about how the space will evolve with the child's age.   Q & A: - Teresa called in about changing the finish of her wood deck, which is half new pre-treated lumber and half old painted lumber. The paint must be removed before staining because stain won't soak into paint, and the new pre-treated lumber will need to season until next spring before being stained. - Ted from Mississippi has a sewage odor in his bathroom. We suggest checking for a missing or non-functional plumbing trap or a bio-gas situation in the sink drain. - Janet from South Carolina inquires about options other than tile for her bathroom walls, due to staining issues. We recommend looking into pre-made tub surrounds as a durable and virtually leakproof alternative that can even mimic tile. - Jerry from West Virginia wants to soundproof a second-floor master bedroom he's converting into a movie room. We suggest applying a second layer of soundproofing drywall and using carpeting and upholstered furniture to absorb sound. - Kathy from Ohio reports a squealing noise from her upstairs toilet when the washer was running on the utility floor. Squeals are typically from the toilet's fill valve on the supply side, though a blockage or vent issue could also be a possibility. - Dan from Nebraska has a widespread mold situation in his three-year-old pole building, despite no previous issues. We identify the cause as high humidity due to a lack of conditioning in the space. Solutions include heating or cooling the space, using a dehumidifier, and potentially installing a fan with a humidistat.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?
