Before David's startled gaze the newcomer placed his right hand to his left shoulder and removed the left arm. He then proceeded to dismember himself until only a torso, head and one arm remained. The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.A new debut on the podcast today: the first woman to publish science fiction stories under her own name in the pulp magazines. While Francis Stevens—born Gertrude Barrows Bennett—was a trailblazer often credited as the first female science fiction writer, she published under the ambiguous name “G. M. Barrows,” using initials that concealed her gender.Clare Winger Harris didn't hide hers. When her first short story, The Runaway World, appeared in the July 1926 issue of Weird Tales, it was credited openly to Mrs. F. C. Harris.Born in Freeport, Illinois in 1891, Clare came from a distinguished background. Her mother, Mary Stover Winger, was the daughter of D. C. Stover, the town's wealthiest man, a renowned inventor and industrialist. Her father, Frank S. Winger, was an electrical contractor and a science fiction writer himself, having published The Wizard of the Island; or, The Vindication of Prof. Waldinger in 1917.Between 1926 and 1933, Harris wrote a dozen science fiction short stories and one novel. In the late 1930s, she moved to Pasadena, California, where she lived modestly and sometimes worked as a switchboard operator to make ends meet.Remarkably, just a year before her death in 1968, she inherited a quarter of her grandfather's estate—valued at over two million dollars. Though he had passed away in 1908, the estate had been tied up in court battles for nearly sixty years.We will find today's story in the very first issue of Science Wonder Quarterly in the fall of 1929, on page 78, The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student's fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. A sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. The Shoddy Lands by C. S.

Today, we face a global vibe shift in the wake of economic realities, political change and shifting policy. What does that mean for ESG? What does that mean for sustainability? The reality is, in part, it's not going away, but it's certainly more focused on organizational goals and driving customer value. Our guest who helps clients with just these types of issues is Anastasia Kuskova, co-founder and CEO of Sirius, a sustainability intelligence platform for metals and mining, working with ArcelorMittal, Freeport, and other majors.

He is a founder of the farmOS software platform and Farm Hack, and is active in the soil health movement. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Dorn breaks down his radical vision of hope for the future of healthy regenerative agriculture. By employing the same data-sharing and networking tools used to visualize and identify the global instability in our climate and our communities, there is potential to revolutionize how we manage food production around the world, decentralizing and deindustrializing the structures and governance that have long dominated the agricultural landscape.

Home sales are starting to look weak Last week we saw the release of existing home sales in the month of January and the decline was far bigger than expected. The number of units sold on an annual basis was 4.08 million, which was a decline 4.9% compared to the prior month. Analysts were expecting a smaller decline of 2.6%. While inventory remains tight at a 3.5-month supply, it is improving. Month over month inventory increased 3.5% and when compared to last January, we saw an increase of 17%. For now, it appears that housing prices are stable with the median price of a home sold in January at $396,900, an increase of 4.8% over last January. The number of cash buyers slipped from 32% one year ago to now only 29%. What is more disturbing is the numbers on first time homebuyers. Over history, first time homebuyers have generally made up around 40% of home sales, but January data shows that has slipped to only 28%. I don't see a crash in the housing market coming, but I do believe people buying a house thinking they will make 10 to 20% on their investment over the next year or so is a mistake as I'm pretty confident those days are gone. If you're going to buy a home, buy it as a place to live and raise your family, do not try to make a quick investment return on the short term.   Some home sellers are giving up As a whole, the US home selling market has had some cracks, which we have talked about in the past. The rising interest rates have kept buyers on the sidelines and people selling their homes still think they're worth more than what they can get in today's market. Also, sellers have been spoiled over the past few years thinking you put your house on the market and you should be able to sell it in less than a month. Over a longer period of time, which looks out further than just the last few years, it used to maybe take 3 to 6 months to sell a home. Home sellers really became discouraged in December as delistings soared 64% in the month compared to last year after not finding an interested buyer to purchase the home. At 73,000 delistings, this was the highest level since 2015. We could see that change if interest rates come back down, but at this point in time there's no indications that that will happen in a major way. I'm still looking for a low growth environment for the price of real estate in the coming years.   Another comparison showing AI is overpriced Many people have used the comparison of the tech boom and bust when looking at the high prices for a lot of these AI stocks, which I believe has a lot of relevance. But if you go back 100 years, there's another comparison with Radio Corp. of America, which was a booming technology back then. If your company put radio in the name somewhere, you got to ride along on the upward trend. Sound familiar? RCA stock rose 200 times its value during the 1920s, but then by 1932 it fell 98%. What is even more amazing is in 1986 General Electric acquired RCA for about 72% higher than the price peak back in 1929. It has never been a wise investment strategy to overpay for any investment, which seems to mostly happens in technology. Over the years this hype cycle has happened with cannabis, electric vehicles, and 3-D printers just to name a few. No one knows where the top will be for AI, but one thing I know for certain is many people will lose far more than they could even imagine, which unfortunately will destroy their retirement portfolios.   Berkshire Hathaway historically high cash balance It is no secret that Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, is sitting on over $300 billion in cash, which is invested mostly in T-bills. As a percent of assets, it is now just over 25%, which has never been seen before. The excess cash is caused by two things, first reducing ownership of Apple and some other stocks. Last year alone Berkshire sold 605 million shares or about 70% of its holdings in the stock. It now has a market value of only $75 billion. The second reason for all the cash is likely because of his philosophy to invest when others are fearful and sell when they are greedy. We are definitely in the greedy stage, which we have been talking about at our firm for probably over a year now. No one knows when this will change, but it will. With the expensive nature of many companies and the markets, Warren Buffett likely cannot find anything on sale that he believes is worth buying. I don't see a major crash coming in the near future, but I also don't see any big gains coming either. I do continue to believe we will likely see a correction that leads to a short-term pullback of 10 to 20%. I hope you're prepared for a few months of volatility, as I believe it is coming.   What's so Special about your “Full Retirement Age”? The Social Security Administration references your “full retirement age” quite often, so it is important to understand why that matters, and why it doesn't. The main reasons this age is important is because at that point you are no longer subject to the earnings limit, and your benefit amount at that age is used to calculate spousal benefits. If you begin collecting Social Security before your full retirement age, you are subject to an earnings limit of $23,400.  For every $2 of wage or self-employment income you have above that limit, $1 of your Social Security benefit will be withheld from you.  Other income sources do not count and this rule no longer applies after reaching you full retirement age, meaning you can work and earn as much as you want.  If you do have Social Security withheld due to the earnings limit, you will receive a credit for that when you reach your full retirement age. As a spouse if you had a limited earnings history, you may collect a spousal benefit from the record of your higher earning spouse.  The spousal benefit is ½ of the higher earning spouse's full retirement age benefit amount.  The age that the higher earning spouse actually collects does not change the spousal benefit.  In order to receive the full spousal benefit, the lower earning spouse needs to collect at their own full retirement age.  Waiting beyond that does not increase the spousal benefit, but collecting before full retirement age will reduce the spousal benefit. For those reasons full retirement age matters, but there are plenty of situations where it doesn't. If you stop working before your full retirement age, then the earnings limit is irrelevant, and if you and your spouse both have an earnings history, then spousal benefits are irrelevant. Many retirees have the belief that something special happens to their benefit amount at their full retirement age, but the truth is, your Social Security window is from age 62 to 70.  Every month you wait to start, your benefit amount increases slightly.  There is no additional increase upon reaching a specific calendar year, birthday, or even your full retirement age.  For some it may be best to collect at their full retirement age, but for the majority of retirees it is more beneficial to collect at an age other than their full retirement age based on their individual income, asset, and tax situation.   Companies Discussed: Freeport-McMoRan Inc.

Conch: Queen of the Florida Keys

In “Conch: Queen of the Florida Keys,” Gravy producer Adwoa Gyimah-Brempong takes listeners to the Keys, where queen conch is plastered across menus: conch fritters, conch salad, even conch chowder. The shells are a visual icon in Key West, even gracing its (semi-joking) flag as a sovereign nation: The Conch Republic. Which is fascinating… because conch hasn't been fished on the island in fifty years. So where is it coming from, where is it going, and why is the culture so enduring? Conch is beloved both culturally and culinarily across the Caribbean, and the cuisine made its way to the Keys with an influx of Bahamians in the 1800s. It became a symbol of the slow way of life on the island, which chef Martin Liz points out is 40 miles closer to Cuba than it is to the nearest Walmart. It's high in protein, easy to catch, versatile to prepare, and provides everything from building materials to precious pearls once harvested. But in the Florida Keys, conch was overfished to the point of near collapse in the 1970s and ‘80s. The reasons that it hasn't rebounded are being studied by scientists in Florida and elsewhere, because their numbers are falling throughout the waters where it makes its home. Due to a combination of overfishing, warming waters, and changing ocean pH, it's getting harder for conch to reach sexual maturity. And as density-dependent reproducers who grow and travel at a snail's pace, once populations are depleted they are very slow to return. That's a problem not just for kitchens, but for the ocean itself. As a bioengineer species that keeps seagrass beds vibrant and thriving, an ecosystem orbits around conch that spans from the tiniest algae all the way up to nurse sharks. It's crucial for carbon sequestration, and also employs thousands of fishers around the Caribbean. Different countries have approached this in a variety of ways: many have closed seasons. The Bahamas has completely closed exports, while Jamaica recently inaugurated the first conch fishery with Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. Florida Fish and Wildlife researchers are experimenting with transporting immature conch further offshore, where they can bulk up the gastropod dating pool. And Florida Atlantic University's Queen Conch Lab, led by professor Megan Davis, is partnering with research institutions and fishers to protect conch for generations to come. In this episode, Gyimah-Brempong talks to Davis and her colleagues, as well as Gabriel Delgado, a researcher with Florida Fish and Wildlife, and Kristian Moree and Lachelle Russell, aquaculture technicians at Freeport mobile conch lab. She also interviews chefs who work with conch, including Martin Liz in Key West and Terry Eden Pratt in Grand Bahama. Michael Moxey, a Grand Bahama fisherman, tells of conch's accessibility and an evolving way of life. United around a love and need for these large-eyed snails, island nations are both strengthening their economies and increasing their protection from ever-stronger hurricanes. Which, with any luck, will keep conch on the sea floor – and in the stew pot – for generations to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Illinois, Freeport City Manager Rob Boyer recently faced down a citizen's petition to move away from the council-manager form of government and revert back to the strong mayor form. Reeling from mismanagement and economic decline, Freeport abandoned the strong mayor form of government about a decade ago. Since that time, Rob and his two predecessors have done great work to turn the community around. In this episode, we discuss many of his and their accomplishments and how the residents and taxpayers are better off today. But, a recent effort that appears to be tinged with political motivations sought to undo this progress and return Freeport back to the "old way" of doing business and rewarding political allies. Never underestimate the machinations that may take place behind the scenes when someone sees an avenue to create a full-time six figure job for themselves...

Commentator Mary Klute's report-   It had been very cold lately in North America, even in places that are typically pretty warm in the winter (like Florida getting snow!). This has been no problem for pigskin partiers! The cold weather creates the perfect conditions for cozying up and finishing projects!  In the huddle, there has been lots of discussion about what folks can reasonably finish before the end of the party. There was also an interesting discussion about how many WIPs folks can manage at one time. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of different opinions on that.  Earlier this month, 43 players submitted for points as part of the Wild Card WIP challenge! Head on over to that thread to see pictures of projects that players had let languish or even forgot about--butnow they are finished!   ladida2u finished some beautiful colorwork mittens just in time for some snow:  https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4344427/1-25#16 plumunou finished a pair of socks.  She'd abandoned the project because the first sock came out too short in the foot--let's face it, we've all been in this sort of situation--this challenge motivated her to finish the second sock and rip out the toe of the first one to lengthen the foot. Now she has a super cute pair of socks:  https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4344427/26-50#34 histoknitter finished a pair of socks that were started in 2007!  Way to go!  https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4344427/26-50#37 hikesandbikes finished a fantastic sweater that is made up of mitered squares.  It's amazing!   https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4344427/51-75#58 and speaking of mitred squares, knitternicole finished a blanket!  She planned out how much of the icord border she needed to do each day to finish and got it done during wild card week:  https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4344427/51-75#67   Events New England Farm & Fiber Festival: February 2 from 11a-5p at the Cyclorama in Boston Wayland Winter Farmers' Market- Farm Fiber Days: March 9, 2025 at Russell's Garden Center in Wayland, MA Knit North Yarn Crawl: March 13-16.

I need to welcome in the new year even when it feels hard, and welcome in whatever emotions come up as I make my way through 2025. I've spent much time in the last few years focused on my mom (and I'm so glad I could do that), but now I'll have free time to welcome in new things. I want to be thoughtful about my time, but also open to welcoming in new things that will bring me joy. My mother made everyone feel welcome and at home whether physically in her home or just with her as a person. I strive to make people feel welcome in my presence too and to use that to continue to strengthen the bonds of friendship and connection. I hope that this will help me keep alive the many relationships that Mom was able to maintain. I am an introvert by nature and love the prospect of staying hour with hours of myself to plot out- but I know that I am happier and more fulfilled when I stay connected with those I love, so this year when I'm tempted to say "no thanks" I will try, when possible, to instead say "we'll come" a variation on welcome.   On a Happy Note About 20 people showed up for one of Garret's hockey games that was nearby! Beautiful show of support and a fun night out. I found the jewelry Mom gave me for Christmas! Surprise surprise, it was in a bag of knitting stuff that was brought home and put down cellar. While I missed auditions as we prepped for the funeral, I got a dancing role in Kiss Me Kate with Meg. The show is the last week of April/first weekend in May. Millie came for a 2 night sleepover during MLK weekend. She made us pancakes! Organizing my mom's things. Eme came over and we look through craft supplies for a new project they want to do. I found a few things for me (mostly scissors and crochet hooks) and I purged some. I put away the Christmas tree and put my new plant stand in place! I love it. Dan was going to order me a plant subscription, but instead we'll go together to a local place a few times a year and try to learn a little more about houseplants. Dinner with my cousins at local Mexican restaurant. I received a beautiful package of watercolor supplies in the mail from Rachel! Thank you so much. I can't wait to dive in. I received many cards and notes from several of you. Thank you!!! Millie, Ryan and I ran into listener, Donna, at Russell's. So lovely to see you! Last weekend Riley came for a sleepover Saturday night. On Sunday, we picked up Aila and checked out one of her favorite antique stores and had a lot of fun browsing. Dan invited my Dad, Tom and Oisin for dinner at The Snug.
