After pouring post-hunt cups of hot coffee, Western Oregon Ducks Unlimited Biologist and lifelong Willamette Valley provides an insightful, been-there-done-that tour of Oregon duck hunting traditions and ongoing conservation sustaining them. Explaining how his grandfather's duck-blind lessons ignited his interests, he talks about what Alaska banding seasons taught him about waterfowl and migrations, how-private lands partnerships anchor Pacific Flyway waterfowl habitat, Willamette valley restoration wins, coastal wetland habitat insights, Dusky Canada and myriad other cackler and honker species that overwinter in Oregon--he wrote the Identification Field Guide to the Geese of the Willamette Valley and Lower Columbia River, by the way--limiting, water-related pressure on Oregon waterfowl, diversity of waterfowl and other game bird species that define hunting experiences in this amazing landscape. Warren's hunter-biologist's clear-eyed take on turning ideas into habitat, measuring successes years later and building a conservation legacy for future generations is worth hearing. Guaranteed his grandfather'd be proud.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

In this special "Best of RESTALK 2025" episode, host Bill Spohn looks back at the ideas and conversations that defined the year across the RESNET® ecosystem. Rather than a simple highlight reel, this episode weaves four major themes that kept surfacing—from sweeping QA modernization efforts to the market forces accelerating HERS adoption to the emerging leaders reshaping the industry to the on-the-ground projects proving that high performance and affordability can coexist.   Across conversations with QA directors, software leaders, conference fellows, builders, lenders, and RESNET® founder Steve Baden, 2025 revealed an industry that's both maturing and reinventing itself. The year's strongest clips capture this mix of evolution and momentum: real-time QA replacing annual reports, financing that rewards low-carbon construction, programs nurturing new talent, and innovative housing models—from 3D-printed concrete to all-electric Habitat townhomes—delivering measurable results for families.   Whether you're a rater, builder, program manager, lender, policymaker, or simply someone who cares about the future of housing, this episode connects the dots on where RESNET® is headed—and why the next few years will be pivotal for quality, credibility, and impact.     Major Themes Covered 1. QA as the Backbone: Apps, Automation & Trust Episodes: EP137, EP140, EP144, EP146 How RESNET® is modernizing QA with real-time data, tech upgrades, stronger staffing, and clearer processes—protecting the credibility of HERS® as volumes scale. 2. Market Signals, Money & Scaling HERS® Episodes: EP136, EP138, EP142, EP145, EP146 Why HERS® grows fastest where incentives and financing tools align—and how products like C-PACE and tax credits are turning performance into business value. 3. The People Pipeline: Conferences, Emerging Leaders & New Roles Episodes: EP136, EP137, EP138, EP146 The next generation of raters, analysts, and QA specialists entering the field, and how programs like Emerging Leaders keep the talent pipeline strong. 4. High-Performance, Affordable & Innovative Housing in Practice Episodes: EP139, EP141, EP143, EP145, EP146 Real projects—3D-printed homes, ERV best practices, net-zero-ready Habitat homes—showing that innovation and affordability can move together.     Featured Guests (Across 2025 Episodes) Scott Doyle – Managing Director of QA, RESNET® Laurel Elam – Senior Director, RESNET® Steve Baden – Executive Director & RESNET® Founder Tricia Baker – Senior VP of Strategy & Impact, PACE Equity Carl Pier – In-house Engineer & HERS® Modeler, PACE Equity Emerging Leaders & Fellows – RESNET® ELC participants Raters, Builders & Habitat Teams from EP139, EP143, and others   To the RESNET® community, we hear you and want to engage.

Drawing from her experiences with Masanobu Fukuoka, and her own long-term experiments in Montana and Oregon with her late husband farmer Carl Rosato, Helen shares what it means to farm in partnership with nature rather than against it.https://realorganicproject.org/helen-atthowe-living-pathways-living-mulch-253The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

The following outlines the introduction of a new subsea human habitat called Vanguard, designed by the engineering organization DEEP, which is set to revolutionize marine biology and the human relationship with the ocean. This habitat allows aquanauts to live at depth under ocean pressure for weeks or months, thereby eliminating the significant time constraints associated with traditional diving and enabling extended research missions. Key figures, including DEEP's Director of Scientific Research, Dawn Kernagis, and others in the marine conservation field, express excitement about the opportunity to conduct long-duration studies on subjects like coral restoration and observe the ocean's natural processes from within. Additionally, the habitat provides a unique environment for studying the hyperbaric effects of pressure on the human body, acting as an analogue for space travel and providing insights into the psychological dynamics of isolation in a high-risk environment.Original article : https://www.newscientist.com/article/2507031-how-aquanauts-will-change-our-view-of-the-ocean/#VanguardHabitat #DEEPVanguard #SubseaHabitat #UnderwaterHabitat #OceanInnovation #HumanAtDepth #SentinelsOfTheDeep #MarineBiology#CoralRestoration #LongDurationDiving #SaturationDiving #HyperbaricResearch #OceanScience #AquanautLife #DeepSeaResearchhttp://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolonyhttps://discord.gg/jp5aSSkfNS

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches!  In today's episode, Tim and the ATL Mastermind crew break down practical strategies for turning probate, divorce, and other life-change situations into real opportunities. They discuss how to partner effectively with Realtors, attorneys, and lenders, and show how mortgage originators can help clients restructure, relocate, and protect their credit. The team touches on niche tools like subject-to options, deed restrictions, and how Habitat for Humanity partnerships impact timing and equity. You'll hear how to spot off-market opportunities (vacant homes, shifting family needs, and overlooked leads) and how a simple 10-minute workflow with a lightweight web app and photo-based submission can keep your pipeline full. This new “Lazy Agent” program gives agents a low-risk way to plug into a ready-made system that handles the heavy lifting (lead capture, follow-up structure, and consistent deal flow) without disrupting their current business. Listeners are invited to test-drive the program during a limited-time promo, giving them a chance to see how a streamlined, scalable workflow can produce month-to-month results with minimal effort on their part. *No earnings are guaranteed. Any income figures, case studies, or examples provided are for illustration purposes only and represent exceptional results. They do not represent the average customer and should not be interpreted as typical, expected, or promised outcomes. Your results will vary based on your experience, effort, market conditions, and other variables. We make no claim that you will earn a specific amount of money. Key Takeaways:   - Probate and divorce leads open doors for creative problem-solving, including restructuring mortgages, preserving credit, and helping families transition without added pressure. - Lenders, Realtors, and attorneys become powerful partners when they communicate early, share information, and align around the client's best options. - Habitat for Humanity and deed-restricted properties require special handling, especially around equity limits, funding timelines, and how lenders collaborate with Habitat partners. - Subject-to financing, deed restrictions, and niche deal structures give families more pathways when traditional sales or refis aren't possible. - Pathfinding (spotting vacant homes), life-change situations, and off-market opportunities create a steady pipeline when paired with simple workflows and fast follow-up. - A lightweight 10-minute lead workflow using a quick web app + photo questions makes it easy to capture deal info and hand it off to agents or attorneys with clarity. - The new Lazy Agent program offers a low-risk, scalable way to generate consistent deals, focusing on value-first outreach, compliance, and turnkey systems that fit into any existing business.  #RealEstateLeads #MortgageStrategies #LeadGeneration #RealEstateInvesting Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

Show Notes Ted Caplow graduated with a degree in social science and has had a career in engineering and entrepreneurship. He describes his initial interest in science and his experience with physics at Harvard, which he found challenging. Ted shares his interest in humanities, particularly theater, and his involvement in various theater activities at Harvard. He discusses his consideration of theater conservatory programs and urban planning after graduation.  Joining the Peace Corps and Sailing across the Atlantic Ted recounts his application to the Peace Corps and the unexpected technical fields he was qualified for, which were teaching  English or beekeeping. This led him to reconsider his career path. He describes his sailing adventure across the Atlantic Ocean with his family and friends. They left shortly after graduation and the trip lasted six months. They stopped in the Azores for a couple of weeks, onto Gibraltar and Spain, through the Mediterranean. They stopped in Sardinia and stayed in Malta for a month; they sailed to Greece, the islands and Cyprus where they stopped and decided whether to continue around the world or go back to real life.  Returning to New York and the Theater Industry Ted returned and went to New York where he  joined the theater industry, working on production and starting his own theatrical company. Ted talks about his involvement in the theater industry, including producing interdisciplinary performances and meeting his first wife through a mutual friend. He describes his transition from theater to entrepreneurship. He started his own company and a non-profit theater company. This lasted a few years before Ted felt he should focus on a more technical field and he discusses the separation between creative pursuits and technical professions. Ultimately, he decided to pursue urban planning and his interest in sustainable development. A Shift to Engineering Ted shares his experience at Princeton and Columbia, where he pursued a PhD in engineering, despite initial doubts about his qualifications. He reflects on the challenges and rewards of his academic journey, including the intense environment at Princeton and the decision to pursue a master's degree instead of a PhD. He wrote his masters' thesis on solar power. Moving on from academia, Ted's next job was with a yacht designer. He then ran his friend's restaurant for two years before going back to school and earning his PhD. in engineering at Columbia in 2004. The Development of the Science Barge  Ted explains his idea to create a sustainable technology laboratory in the Bahamas, why he became interested in hydroponics, and why he didn't go to the Bahamas. He explains how the original idea evolved into the Science Barge in the Hudson River.  The Science Barge was a hydroponic greenhouse with solar panels, wind power, and aquaponics, designed to educate schoolchildren about sustainable technologies such as recycling the waste water. Ted discusses the challenges of moving the barge every two months and the decision to find a permanent home for it in Yonkers, and how this venture inspired the SunWork Center project. Sustainable Development Success Stories He highlights the success of the SunWork Center, a greenhouse on the rooftop of PS 333 in Manhattan, and the expansion of New York SunWorks to over 300 schools. Ted describes the development of Bright Farms, a commercial company that grew local produce in greenhouses on top of grocery stores. He shares the challenges and successes of Bright Farms, including partnerships with major retailers and the acquisition by Cox Enterprises. Ted reflects on the importance of sustainable design and the impact of his work on the food industry. He discusses the evolution of his design firm, Caplow Manzano, and its focus on creating durable, resilient homes that prioritize human health and environmental sustainability.  Technological Innovation in Building Ted talks about his personal journey and the diverse skills he has developed over the years. He reflects on the importance of technological innovation, the role of engineering in his work, and the difficulty of navigating and innovating around  all the components of building houses. Ted shares his plans for expanding his design firm's impact and the potential for scaling sustainable design solutions. Harvard Reflections He expresses gratitude for the opportunities and challenges that have shaped his career and looks forward to continuing his work in sustainable design and education. He mentions E.O. Wilson for Evolutionary Biology as an incredible talent and researcher in that field. He also mentions a poetry class with Seamus Heaney. He also mentions a class on China and one on Africa that he found inspiring and eye opening, and taking classes on Shakespeare from actors in the repertory theater.
