At one time, the beacon of light could be found across almost all of America's shorelines. Once lit by open fire and candles, they're now brightly lit by electric or oil-fueled lamps. However, the number of lighthouses are declining. Maintenance is expensive and modern electrical navigation systems are replacing them. The first lighthouse in the United States was Boston Light, located on Little Brewster Island in Boston Harbor. It was first lit on September 14, 1716...but the oldest existing lighthouse in the United States is the Sandy Hook Lighthouse in New Jersey. Built in 1764, this lighthouse is still in operation. lighthouses are maintained and operated by The United States Coast Guard....go on a lighthouse tour.

with @nayafia and @smc90 Ideas, memes, and vibes are some of the most important drivers of modern technology adoption, marketing, and much more -- and have been much-covered by everyone from Darwin to Dawkins to Girard to many others. Yet the topic of antimemetics -- self-censoring (vs. self-propagating) ideas -- whether something fringe, forgotten, or forbidden -- haven't been studied as much, especially in the context of modern networks. So in this special book-launch episode, we cover the important concept of antimemetics (and memetics) -- focusing on: where and how ideas take off in groups, whether in online chats or other high-shared context communities; how ideas not just spread but are contained, or mutate in strange ways; why packaging ideas matters; and what we can all do to move ideas to action. Where do bureacracy, institutions, and protocols come in? What about tacit knowledge that lies in these communities, how (or do) we make it explicit? What roles -- from truth tellers to champions to individual nodes in networks -- can and do people play in making something go from mere commentary to reality? After all, ideas -- or ideas as viruses -- are how movements happen, how innovation happens, how things change... or don't ever change despite being discussed all the time. Our expert guest in this special book episode (following in our long tradition of sharing what we're reading) is Nadia Asparouhova, the author of the new book, Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading; she is also the author of the book Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software. a16z crypto's Sonal Chokshi -- who previously hosted Nadia's book-launch episode for the a16z Podcast and almost a decade before that on the changing culture of open source -- interviews Nadia on these themes, how they connect, and why they matter for the crypto industry and beyond. We also dig into some critiques -- and opportunities for builders -- too, including what happens to the public commons; network propagation including across networks; reality distortion fields; hidden knowledge; and cultural stagnation vs. cultural abundance. All this and more in this episode of web3 with a16z!

Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #27 that origianlly aired on Sep. 27 2016. Our experience in a park we own in Raeford, NC. We recently acquired this park and quickly realized that both the on-site management and maintenance staff needed to be replaced ASAP! We discuss how we quickly identified the challenges associated with their poor performance and how we handled the transition with a completely new management team. This is a common scenario you will experience when purchasing turnaround or distressed mobile home parks and so we thought you might learn from our personal experience.

The reliability landscape is rapidly transforming, but are organizations truly ready for this evolution? In this thought-provoking episode, we reunite after our individual "side quests" working with different customers to discover we've both encountered the same concerning pattern across manufacturing facilities.While technology advances at breakneck speed—from pixelated camera phones to sophisticated AI systems in just a few decades—the cultural foundations of reliability and maintenance strategies are evolving at a glacial pace. This creates a dangerous disconnect: companies eagerly investing in IoT sensors, machine learning algorithms, and data historians while neglecting fundamental reliability practices that would make these investments worthwhile.We share a sobering case study of a critical cooling tower failure that cost over £100,000 in emergency measures, despite previous recommendations for a £2,000 monitoring solution. This exemplifies how organizations often pursue technological silver bullets while overlooking basic maintenance fundamentals. The cooling tower had never received lubrication despite being a lubrication-dependent motor—a simple practice that could have prevented catastrophic failure.The episode explores why AI and machine learning belong at the top of the reliability maturity assessment, not as shortcuts to excellence. While these technologies show tremendous promise, they require clean historical data, established maintenance practices, and experienced professionals who understand failure modes to interpret their findings. Without these foundations, organizations risk drowning in information while suffocating for wisdom.Whether you're a maintenance professional navigating digital transformation or a leader making technology investment decisions, this episode offers crucial perspective on balancing innovation with reliability fundamentals. The future belongs to those who master both.Support the show

Things seem to fall apart and get broken rather easily—from our aging bodies, to the buildings we live in, to the equipment we rely on each day, to our lives in general and the world at large. Just think of your current to-do list of things that you need to fix, replace, clean, or sort out. What are we meant to do in the midst of this reality? Give up on fixing anything?

The Kewanee City Council addressed several key measures in its latest session. Approval was granted for a variance, allowing Brian Rowlison to exceed accessory structure height limits on Simpson Avenue. A Special Use Permit was also issued to Tracy Glasgo for property on North East Street. Budget decisions for the next fiscal year were postponed, as was the Sidewalk & Scooter Ordinance. Maintenance under the Illinois Highway Code received a green light, along with an agreement for Hutchison Engineering to promote South Street transportation improvements. Council members also discussed sidewalk reimbursement policies and potential regulations for outside eating areas but took no formal action. Kewanee City Council meetings are streamed live on Facebook and posted on our YouTube page.

A "solid" jobless claims print continues to show a strong labor market, says Kevin Hincks. However, it's a different picture for earnings, with many Thursday morning reports like American Airlines (AAL), Southwest Airlines (LUV), and Honeywell (HON) dragging shares lower. However, Alphabet's (GOOGL) earnings late on Wednesday offered a bright spot. Kevin also makes the case for the Fed cutting interest rates more than some analysts expect.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “maintenance sex”? For a lot of people, it feels unromantic - maybe even a little cringy. It doesn't sound poetic or passionate. But what if we're thinking about it all wrong? In this episode, we're challenging the way we see maintenance sex. Instead of seeing it as leftovers or a chore, what if we saw it as a sacred act of love, something we choose to do, not because we're wildly turned on, but because we care about keeping that thread of intimacy alive? Maintenance sex is about presence, not just passion. Intention, not obligation. It's about choosing to stay physically connected through the messy middle of real life—when you're tired, busy, or not exactly in the mood—but still want to touch, laugh, kiss, and share that part of ourselves. If you've been feeling disconnected or missing the spark, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan Orr sits down with Roman Baugh, a leading VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) specialist and co-host of the VRF Tech Talk podcast, for an in-depth exploration of VRF system maintenance. The conversation begins with some lighthearted back-and-forth before shifting to the technical realities of maintaining VRF equipment. Roman immediately addresses a common misconception: the idea that VRF systems are “maintenance free.” He explains that, contrary to some marketing claims, these systems require regular, specialized attention to ensure longevity and reliable performance. Roman shares real-world stories that highlight the consequences of poor installation and lack of serviceability. He describes situations where VRF units are installed in hard-to-reach locations—like cabinets or hard-lid ceilings—making even basic maintenance a costly and invasive process. This lack of foresight often leads to significant expenses for property owners, especially when major repairs require extensive drywall work just to access failed components. Roman emphasizes that proper maintenance starts with ensuring that systems are accessible and serviceable, a step too often neglected during installation. The discussion delves into the specifics of VRF maintenance, moving beyond the basics of filters and drain lines. Roman explains how improper drain line installation can lead to persistent error codes and system shutdowns, particularly when condensate pumps are forced to exceed their design limitations. He goes on to detail the critical role of temperature sensors (thermistors), which are prone to failure from corrosion, moisture, and environmental factors—especially in challenging locations like laundry rooms. These sensor failures can cause misleading error codes and even compressor damage if not addressed promptly. Roman recommends regular sensor checks, especially as components age past their typical five-year lifespan. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to electronic expansion valves (EEVs), which are susceptible to rust, dried grease, and mechanical binding. Roman advocates for proactive inspection and, when necessary, preemptive replacement of EEVs to prevent catastrophic compressor failures. He introduces tools developed by technicians for technicians, such as the EEV Mate and custom EEV magnets, which allow for manual manipulation and diagnostics of expansion valves in the field. These innovations help HVAC professionals quickly triage and resolve issues, minimizing downtime and protecting expensive system components. The episode wraps up with a strong endorsement for ongoing education, technician communities, and the use of specialized tools and software to ensure VRF systems are maintained to the highest standard. Topics Covered: Debunking the “maintenance-free” VRF myth Access and serviceability challenges in VRF installations Proper drain line design, installation, and common failure points The role and failure modes of temperature sensors (thermistors) Environmental impacts on sensor and component reliability Electronic expansion valve (EEV) maintenance and troubleshooting Field-developed tools for EEV diagnostics (EEV Mate, EEV magnets) The importance of commissioning and using service software Application and installation quality as a foundation for long-term reliability Technician communities, podcasts, and resources for VRF learning and support This episode is essential listening for HVAC professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of VRF systems, avoid common pitfalls, and stay ahead with practical, field-tested maintenance strategies.

In this short podcast episode, Bryan explores the maintenance mindset. Maintenance procedures require a different skill set from troubleshooting, especially the customer service mindset and dedication to execution. Good maintenance is important, and it may be "boring" to some techs, but it provides value and is worth doing well. Clients purchase maintenance plans for better reliability and efficiency. Several also enjoy the health benefits of cleaner HVAC systems. The key to maintenance is having a "do no harm" mindset and a commitment to delivering value. A sales-oriented mindset should take a back seat to giving the equipment a thorough cleaning and making sure it's in proper working order; we don't want to upsell bolt-on IAQ products. Maintenance procedures are really about preventing problems and cleaning. To give the equipment a thorough cleaning, you must pull the top off the condenser and wash it well. You may have to pull a blower wheel (which may be a quotable procedure). Good maintenance techs take pride in these types of cleaning procedures and ensure that they leave the equipment in better condition than they found it. Problem prevention is another aspect of the maintenance mindset. When you're thorough, you find things that can be fixed or adjusted to benefit the system, whether it's a wire rubout, a failing crankcase heater, a poorly fitted filter with significant bypass, or something else. Spotting and addressing these issues early requires technical expertise (just like troubleshooting) and is of excellent value to the customer.
