According to Dr Yasemin Didem Aktas, deputy academic director of the UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings (UKCMB), “Mould is everywhere, all the time,” this is because the UK is a pretty wet country and so some level of mould, particularly in damp places like bathrooms or windows is to be expected. However it is how we manage the mould and prevent it building up into dangerous levels that is important. If you notice patches of mould on walls or ceilings then it's time to do something to stop spores spreading in the air. When is there too much? Why is mould bad for your health? How can I treat mould? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Temporary Storage – Is Your System Ready?Temporary storage plays a critical role in grain operations—but it comes with unique challenges, risks, and costs that must be carefully managed. In this episode, 40-year industry veteran Bob Marlow shares hard-earned lessons, success strategies, technologies improving temporary storage, and a practical framework for evaluating whether this year's plan is truly ready.From grain quality protection and site design to cost tracking and operational safety, Bob provides real-world examples every grain facility can learn from—plus one cautionary tale you won't forget.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhen and why facilities rely on temporary storage—and how to distinguish emergency vs. true temporary storageThe biggest advantages vs. drawbacks compared to permanent storageEssential steps to ensure your temporary storage system is ready before harvestHow pad design, tarps, aeration, and fan management impact safety and grain qualityWhy grain quality issues escalate faster in piles and how to prevent lossThe most commonly overlooked or “hidden” costs—and how to track themNew tech and evolving best practices (CO₂ monitoring, wind-based fan control, improved tarps, cover-on-first systems)A practical readiness checklist based on Purdue's SLAM method (Sanitize, Level, Aerate, Monitor)Key TakeawaysTemporary storage is not “cheap storage.” It has recurring costs and higher risk that demand intentional planning.Grain quality is the make-or-break factor. Moisture, temperature swings, and tarp failures can quickly turn #1 grain into sample grade.Don't “set it and forget it.” Fan mismanagement can cause re-wetting, heating, mold, and insects.Track true costs annually. Labor, tarps, repairs, pest control, fuel/electricity, and reclaim losses add up.Technology is changing the game. CO₂ monitoring, wind-based fan controls, and cover-on-first designs are improving outcomes.Bob's Readiness Checklist (SLAM Method)Before harvest, confirm:S – Sanitize: Clean pad, remove old grain, treat for pests L – Load Level/Core: Build and core the pile properly A – Aerate: Have a plan to cool grain and manage fans correctly M – Monitor/Maintain: Monitor CO₂, temp, tarp condition, equipment & safetyRed Flags That Require Immediate ActionOff-odors around fans (sour, musty, fermented)CO₂ or temperature spikesTarp loosening or wind-flappingWater pooling around the pad or under tarpsCrusting or heating at surface or sidewalls Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

In this episode of the Fire Science Show we invite dr. Antonela Čolić from the OFR Consultants, to break down the performance of adhesives used in CLT in fire, what differences between the glues are observable at the microscale  and how they show up in real structure fires.We compare common polyurethane adhesives: one that softens near 200–220 C and one that resists softening, crosslinks, and ultimately chars. Through thermogravimetric and calorimetric testing, we map pivotal transitions like glass transition and softening. Then we scale up. With small shear-lap coupons and meter-long cantilevers under controlled heat flux, we see how mechanical load amplifies normal strains at the bond line—especially in cross-laminated elements where grain orientation concentrates stress. The result is a clear picture of when heat-induced delamination begins, how it differs from char fall-off, and why heat flux often dominates the story.Moisture emerges as a powerful, often overlooked driver. Using neutron imaging, we visualize vapor moving toward and across the bond line, slowing as it crosses the interface. That temporary moisture retention can make an adhesive appear to “fail at a lower temperature,” not from chemistry alone but from local pore pressure and hydration dynamics. We translate these findings into actionable guidance: specify adhesives that char rather than soften, control lamella thickness, consider parallel lamellas to preserve capacity after a ply loss, and model realistic heat flux and shear demands instead of relying on a single critical temperature.If you design or review mass timber, this conversation gives you the tools to ask better questions: Which adhesive? What heat flux history? How much shear at the bond line? And how will moisture in use and during fire shift the thresholds you're counting on? Interested in further reading?

In this short podcast, Bryan talks about the hidden cost of killing radiant load, especially when it comes to installing radiant barriers in attics.  We sometimes get service calls about ducts sweating when they never used to sweat. If there are no problems with the system (i.e., the refrigerant charge, static pressure, airflow, supply air temperature, and blower speeds are all good), this type of situation can be a head-scratcher. Ask a customer if they've made any changes to the attic or equipment since the last service call, and there's a great chance they'll say something about adding a radiant barrier to keep the attic cooler. Ducts pick up heat from the surfaces in the attic. Radiant heat can come from the sun, but visible light isn't required for radiation to happen, and it can occur between objects. A radiant barrier prevents solar heat absorbed by the roof decking from radiating onto attic surfaces, but it doesn't change the dew point. When attic surfaces are cooler and the cool air passes through, the surface temperature drops below the dew point. Condensation happens on the surface; when moisture accumulates, it can lead to other problems, like the dirty M word. Moisture issues happen with low sensible load and high latent load, especially in times like hurricane season in Florida. Adding heat to a space also makes it drier because it acts as a reheat source and drops the relative humidity. It also adds to the sensible load, leading to longer runtimes (better for comfort but more expensive in terms of energy). When we remove that radiant heat, we increase the risk of condensation and short runtimes. If moisture problems are caused by a radiant barrier, then the barrier will need to come out or the attic will need to be encapsulated and dehumidified.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. The strongest muscle in your body might be quietly screaming crucial information about your health—and you're probably missing it. Your tongue, that little muscular organ you use every day without much thought, serves as one of the most revealing mirrors of your overall wellbeing.As homeopaths, we treasure objective signs—those physical manifestations that don't rely on subjective reporting—and the tongue ranks among our most valuable diagnostic tools. Its color alone speaks volumes: a pale tongue suggests low vitality or anemia, bright red indicates inflammation or heat, while bluish or purple coloration points to poor circulation. The coating provides another layer of insight, with white suggesting sluggish digestion or candida, yellow indicating liver stress, and even the absence of coating potentially signaling exhaustion or chronic illness. Moisture, shape, texture—each characteristic adds another piece to the puzzle of your health status.This episode explores how specific tongue appearances correlate with homeopathic remedies: Belladonna for the red, dry, inflamed tongue with fever; China for the pale tongue after fluid loss; Antimonium Crudum for thick white coatings after overindulgence. We share real case studies demonstrating how these tongue observations confirmed remedy selections and facilitated healing. Beyond acute conditions, we delve into how the tongue reveals deeper miasmatic patterns—those inherited tendencies toward certain disease expressions that manifest in characteristic tongue appearances across generations. While tongue scrapers might temporarily improve breath freshness, they merely address surface symptoms rather than root causes—a perfect illustration of homeopathy's deeper approach to healing.Understanding your tongue's messages requires consistent observation. Check it in the morning before eating or brushing, notice changes during illness or stress, and integrate these observations with your other symptoms.

In this short podcast episode, Bryan explains how leaky ducts can lead to sweaty, uncomfortable houses. Moisture issues are common all across humid and "green-grass" climates in the United States. Hot, unconditioned attics and crawl spaces also often have high dew points, which can cause moisture problems in those spaces. Plants also release moisture, so agricultural communities also have those special considerations. There are several HVAC and building design factors that can prevent or worsen growth from moisture problems. Duct leakage is one of those factors. Return and supply leaks can cause moisture to enter the ductwork. Return leaks suck in air from around the leak. Supply leaks create a pressure differential that can cause mechanically-driven infiltration (MAD-AIR); when a supply duct leak puts the attic under positive pressure, somewhere else has to go under negative pressure. There are lots of gaps and cracks around boots and can lights, which provides pathways for hot, moist air to seep into the envelope. Longer runtimes and keeping the fan on will worsen these conditions. We need to control the source of moisture and then seal the ducts and boots before we focus on the equipment. Visual inspections at the connections and boots will go a long way, but there are also plenty of tools for testing duct leakage, especially by Retrotec and TEC. You can also measure house pressure to the outdoors with the air handler running and all the doors closed, but that's a qualitative measurement that has a lot of other variables to consider.    Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

From BMX tracks to the Iditarod trail, and from Yale Law to global justice reform, Matt Garretson's life is a masterclass in resilience, curiosity, and purpose-driven innovation. In this episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with Matt to explore how his unique blend of risk-taking, compassion, and intellectual rigor led him to reshape the legal services sector, build businesses that impact thousands, and embark on extreme adventures that test the limits of human endurance. Whether it's resolving billion-dollar settlements, pioneering AI in the legal industry, or pedaling 1,000 miles across frozen Alaska, Matt's story is proof that the best results come from observing, engaging, adapting, and persevering. His daily formula:  “My guiding mantra each day was that I must be methodical about observing (all data re terrain, weather, gear, etc.), engaging (with the underlying assumptions derived from those observations), adapting (because everything changes constantly when executing in an unpredictable/uncontrolled environment), persevering (having faith/confidence that i have the body, mind and spirit to accomplish the daily goals if i stay methodical about this loop). I broke each day into hour segments meaning for instance i didnt plan for 60 miles or 15 hours each day….i just needed to make it for instance from 9 AM to 10AM…then i can make it to 11 and if I made it to 11 then certainly 12 was possible etc. 18 days later I was in Nome!!!” This isn't just a story about legal innovation or adventure sports — it's a blueprint for high-stakes decision-making in life and business. Matt's “Observe, Engage, Adapt, Persevere” framework, forged in the crucible of both courtroom battles and Arctic winds, is a practical leadership model for anyone navigating uncertainty. Leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-performers will walk away with actionable insights on risk management, building trust in complex negotiations, integrating AI into human-centered processes, and maintaining clarity when the stakes are high and the variables keep changing. Origin shapes destiny — The combination of his father's risk-taking spirit and his mother's intellectual curiosity formed the foundation of Matt's worldview. Unconventional paths have power — Yale undergrad + night law school created a rare blend of elite theory and gritty pragmatism. Faith in action — Matt's theology degree grew out of reconciling the good and harm he saw in organized religion. Neutrality is a business model — Creating fair, transparent systems for complex legal settlements can transform entire industries. AI accelerates trust — Tools like Pattern Data and Jane are reshaping how the legal profession processes and shares information. Adventure as a leadership lab — Extreme endurance events sharpen decision-making and adaptability. Observe, Engage, Adapt, Persevere — A simple yet powerful framework for survival and success. Moisture management matters — Small, counterintuitive habits can make or break long-term success in any high-stakes environment. Find the middle ground — In negotiations, you've likely reached fairness when both sides are slightly unhappy but see the logic. Impact over income — Matt's latest venture in Guatemala proves that business growth and social good can be inseparable. 00:00 – Intro & guest setup 05:35 – Matt's origin story: risk-taking father, intellectual mother 09:00 – Discovering law as a second-phase career 11:55 – Theological studies: reconciling faith and harm 17:28 – The birth of a neutral legal administrator 21:11 – World Trade Center, BP Oil Spill, and mass tort work 27:39 – Truth, accountability, and finding reliable sources 31:44 – AI's role in transforming the legal industry 39:23 – Epic adventures: Great Divide, Baja Divide, Iditarod 45:58 – The Observe–Engage–Adapt–Persevere model 53:48 – Burnbright: blending business, social impact, and job creation

Fall weather lovers, get ready! A major outbreak of cold air will unfold this week, bringing temperatures more typical of mid- to late October across much of the central and eastern US. At least three-quarters of the population east of the Rockies will experience the chill at some point this week. The main areas likely to avoid it include much of the Florida Peninsula, portions of the immediate Atlantic coast and central and South Texas. Also, over the upcoming week, forecasters have been monitoring the anticipated influx of moisture into the Southwestern states. This pattern will even increase the chances for downpours to impact portions of drought-stricken Southern California.  one of the best chances to spot the Aurora Borealis will unfold Monday night across Canada and parts of the US.

Fertilizer supply chains have been anything but stable this year. For many growers, that makes on-farm storage not just a convenience, but a strategic advantage. But storing fertilizer isn't as simple as putting it in a bin and forgetting about it. So how do you preserve its quality over time, especially in humid conditions?   Find out on this episode of The Dirt with your host, Mike Howell, and Nutrien Senior Agronomist, Lyle Cowell. Join them as they explore the real-world challenges and benefits of fertilizer storage, from managing product blends and minimizing moisture risks to equipment and application considerations.   You'll learn how and why fertilizers clump, the two primary ways they absorb moisture, how to prevent moisture absorption and what simple steps can make a big difference in fertilizer storability, flowability and safety, particularly in Western Canada.   Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?

If you're a fan of fans, this is the podcast for you! In this short podcast episode, Bryan shares how installing ceiling fans can be a smart HVAC design strategy (even though he wasn't a fan of fans!). Ceiling fans break the "don't blow air on people" rule we usually refer to in duct design, but they can solve quite a few basic comfort problems, especially in homes with lower loads than we've historically seen. They're great for creating high-velocity airstreams and mixing air. Low-load homes have systems with lower tonnages; they don't move as much air and could use a little bit of help from a ceiling fan. Air mixing is also poor in homes that have a greater distance between the air and the ceiling. Stratification of the air causes comfort problems due to temperature differences, and hot or cold surfaces can also contribute to these issues for similar reasons. Moisture and eventual growth are also concerns when we allow rooms to have those temperature differences (especially on the ceiling, as water vapor is lighter than air). Ceiling fans disrupt the stratification of air and water vapor. They solve air mixing problems while they dispel odors and maintain more consistent dew points throughout the air. Modern fans with ECMs can also run at a low speed without taking a large energy efficiency hit. Ceiling fans are great and relatively inexpensive solutions that can solve comfort and IAQ problems in high-performance homes.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we dive into two stories that are equal parts science, sweat, and straight-up strange.First up: What if your next computer wasn't silicon but flesh? That's right—British scientists have created a "living" brain chip made of human neurons, and now you can rent it like it's a haunted Airbnb. Is it the future of computing or the first step toward Skynet with skin?Then, we travel from the uncanny valley to the swampy undercarriage of airport security. The TSA is sounding the alarm—literally—thanks to a little-known phenomenon known as “swamp crotch.” Turns out excessive groin sweat might be your ticket to a full pat-down. Moisture and metal detectors don't mix, folks.From meat-based microchips to moisture-based misfires, join us for a perfectly weird cocktail of cutting-edge tech and humid horror stories.Listen now before your pants set off national security protocols.Links & Resources
