From the publisher: As the US struggles to provide affordable housing, millions of Americans live in deteriorating public housing projects, enduring the mistakes of past housing policy. In The Projects, Howard A. Husock explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. From First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the controversial city planner Robert Moses, many well-known historical figures made a convincing case for affordable housing in America.Despite the movement's lofty ideals, the creation of the Projects led to the destruction of low-income communities across the country. From the Hill District in Pittsburgh to Black Bottom in Detroit, predominantly Black neighborhoods were judged only by the quality of their housing. Husock looks beyond these neighborhoods' physical conditions to their uncounted riches, from local artists like August Wilson to vital community institutions. As he shares residents' stories, he honors what they crafted through their own plans, rather than those of city planners.Husock traces the history of public housing to contemporary debates on the government's role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. He ultimately critiques "repair and reform" efforts, making policy recommendations that address the core failings of public housing for the people it was once designed to help. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America.For information on his book from NYU Press, check out: https://nyupress.org/9781479828432/the-projects/Support our show and Reach out and Read of Tampa Bay at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistoryAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

This week, I'm answering a listener question that so many of us can relate to: How do you plan your homesteading projects? Do you have a calendar? If you've ever bought all the supplies for a new skill—like kombucha brewing or sourdough baking—and then never actually started, this episode is for you. I'm sharing why it's completely normal to go through different seasons in our homesteading journey and how not everything has to happen at once. I also talk about how I personally plan and prioritize projects, the simple tools that help me stay organized, and how I find little pockets of time in my busy week (even with kids at home). From embracing the ebb and flow of energy to letting go of perfection, this episode is your reminder that your homestead doesn't have to look productive all the time to be meaningful. In this episode, I chat about: Why unfinished projects are completely normal How to think seasonally when it comes to learning new skills The difference between passion projects and habits Finding small blocks of time to get things done My favorite planners and simple brain-dump methods Giving yourself grace to grow slowly and sustainably

Have you ever been caught off guard when the very first thing a prospect asks you is, “What's your price?” It can feel abrupt, maybe even a little irritating. Suddenly, you're on the defensive, worried about proving your value before you've had a chance to build rapport. In this episode of the Sales Maven Podcast, Nikki Rausch tackles this all-too-common scenario head-on and gives you practical strategies for handling it with confidence, credibility, and ease. When someone leads with “what's your price,” it's tempting to respond with “it depends.” But Nikki explains why that phrase is one of the biggest mistakes you can make—it creates mistrust and leaves the other person feeling dismissed. Instead, she walks you through simple, effective language you can use to keep the conversation moving forward while still honoring the question. One powerful approach is giving a price range. By saying, “Projects like this typically range between X and Y,” you immediately build trust, show transparency, and keep the door open to a deeper discussion. This keeps you positioned as a professional who respects the buyer's need for clarity while still allowing flexibility. You'll also hear Nikki's personal story about reaching out to a potential service provider and being brushed off with a vague “we'll get to that later.” That moment was enough to make her walk away completely—a reminder that prospects want real answers, not evasive responses. Nikki shares how you can avoid creating that kind of doubt and instead present yourself as trustworthy and approachable. Beyond live conversations, Nikki gives examples of how to respond in writing when the “what's your price” question comes through an email or contact form. She offers sample wording you can adapt, such as thanking the prospect for their interest, providing a range, and then extending an invitation to schedule a discovery call. This approach shows you take them seriously and gives them a clear next step. Perhaps the most important reframe Nikki offers is this: when someone asks about price, it's a buying signal. Instead of feeling annoyed, recognize it as an opportunity. By practicing your responses ahead of time, preparing your top three discovery questions, and issuing clear invitations after sharing a price or range, you'll set yourself apart from competitors who stumble in this moment. This short but impactful episode is packed with actionable takeaways. If you've ever struggled with the “what's your price” conversation, you'll come away with renewed confidence and language you can put into practice right away. Listen in to learn how to answer the question in a way that strengthens rapport, establishes credibility, and increases your chances of closing the sale.

Your host, Allen Hall, shares the renewable industry news you may have missed. Allen Hall 2025: There's good news today from the wind energy sector, and it starts of all places with toilets. OEG and Aberdeen Headquartered company just reached a milestone. They've installed their 500th in turbine welfare unit across the UK's offshore wind sector. If you've ever worked on an offshore wind turbine, you know why this matters. These aren't just convenience facilities. Their dignity and their safety. The other difference between a dangerous transfer to a standby vessel and staying on the job. The units operate in the harshest offshore conditions with no external power or water. Nine offshore wind farms now have these facilities and they're making offshore work accessible for [00:01:00] women helping retain a more diverse workforce. And while OEG celebrates 500 installations, something much larger is happening in the American Midwest. Gulf Pacific Power. Just completed a major transaction with NL Green Power North America. Gulf Pacific acquired all of E L's interest in five operating wind facilities, totaling over 800 megawatts of capacity. The portfolio includes Prairie Rose in Minnesota, Goodwill and Origin, and Rocky Ridge in Oklahoma, and a facility in North Dakota. Projects with long-term power purchase agreements and high credit counterparties. And then there's BlackRock. The world's largest asset manager is placing a $38 billion bet on American clean energy. They're close to acquiring power Giant a ES, which have give BlackRock ownership of nearly eight gigawatts of wind power capacity. A [00:02:00] ES leads in sign deals with data center customers with artificial intelligence driving unprecedented electricity demand. That positioning matters. The weather numbers tell their own story about wind's challenging year. Most of Europe recorded wind speeds four to 8% below normal in the first half of this year. The wind drought curtailed generation in Germany, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. But the Northeastern United States saw winds seven to 10% above average in parts of Norway, Sweden, and Northern China also benefited. And in storm, Amy, which is passing through the uk, it drove wholesale electricity prices negative for 17 hours. 20 gigawatts of wind power flooded the grid and the grid paid users to consume electricity. Too much wind, not enough demand. The offshore wind industry faces real headwinds. Global awards fell more than 70% in the first nine months of this year. Of about 20 gigawatts of expected auctions, [00:03:00] only 2.2 gigawatts have been awarded. Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark are preparing new frameworks to restore investor confidence and Japan designated two promising offshore zones, but confidence there is still shaken when Mitsubishi pulled out of its first auction due to some sorry costs. So here's what we have. An Aberdeen company celebrating 500 toilet installations that transform working conditions. A Midwestern power company expanding its wind portfolio by 800 megawatts and the world's largest asset manager, betting $38 billion on American energy infrastructure. All while offshore auctions stall globally, all while Europe experiences a wind drought and the UK experiences at times too m...

Projects like Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich on Netflix showcased survivors' stories alongside investigative reporting, exposing the broader systems of power and complicity that helped shield Epstein from accountability.  Other streaming platforms similarly offered exposés—such as Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein? on Hulu and Prince Andrew, Maxwell & Epstein on Discovery+/Prime Video—which helped sustain media momentum, push archival material into public view, and keep pressure on law enforcement and institutions tied to Epstein.The cultural influence of these streaming documentaries also amplified the voices of survivors and shifted public discourse, creating renewed demand for transparency and legal accountability. For example, Surviving Jeffrey Epstein on Lifetime reportedly triggered a 34 % jump in calls to a U.S. sexual‐assault hotline, showing how media exposure mobilized public attention to issues of sexual abuse and institutional failure.   In many ways, streaming allowed the Epstein story to transcend news cycles—embedding it into ongoing popular awareness and pressuring institutions and legal actors to respond more aggressively.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

This Podcast Is Episode 646, And It's About Insights For Small Construction Business Owners Post-Disruption The past few years have been challenging for small business owners everywhere. For contractors, the global disruptions—pandemic shutdowns, supply chain bottlenecks, labor shortages, and inflation—hit especially hard. Projects were delayed, material costs spiked overnight, and cash flow felt like a rollercoaster.   If you're a small construction business owner, you've lived through it. And while it's been painful, it's also been a powerful teacher. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we've had front-row seats to see how disruptions shook contractors and what strategies helped them survive—or even thrive—despite the chaos.    Here are the key lessons learned from global disruption that every small contractor should carry forward.   1. Cash Flow is King When the world turned upside down, it wasn't just about profits on paper—it was about cash in the bank. Contractors who had substantial cash reserves or disciplined systems for separating money (using methods like Profit First) were able to weather late client payments, supply delays, and unexpected expenses. Those who ran lean with no buffer struggled the most. Many relied on credit cards, lines of credit, or personal savings to keep projects moving. Lesson: Always budget with a cushion. Build a reserve fund equal to at least two to three months of operating expenses. Cash flow isn't a luxury—it's survival. 2. Material pricing can change overnight Lumber tripled in price. The costs of concrete, steel, and copper spiked. Even basic items like drywall screws saw shortages. For contractors who bid on jobs months in advance, these increases wiped out their profit margins. The most resilient contractors learned to: Add price escalation clauses in contracts. Limit the validity period of an estimate. Communicate openly with clients about material volatility. Lesson: Build flexibility into your pricing. Protect yourself in writing from market swings you can't control.   3. Diversification builds stability Some contractors relied heavily on one type of work, such as extensive remodels or commercial tenant improvements. When those markets slowed during lockdowns, their revenue disappeared. Others had more diversified income streams—such as small service calls, maintenance contracts, consulting work, or digital products—and were able to pivot. Lesson: Don't rely on one type of project or client. Diversify your work mix so when one stream slows, another sustains you. 4. Relationships matter more than ever When suppliers had limited stock, who got the materials first? The contractors have strong, long-standing relationships. When crews were in short supply, which subs stuck around? The ones treated fairly, paid promptly, and respected. Lesson: Invest in your relationships. Pay suppliers and subs on time. Be transparent with clients. In times of disruption, trust and loyalty can save your business. 5. Technology isn't optional anymore The pandemic accelerated the adoption of technology across the industry. Contractors who relied only on paper receipts, hand-written invoices, or in-person meetings found themselves at a standstill. Those using cloud-based bookkeeping, project management apps, digital invoicing, and video calls continued to move forward. Lesson: Adopt technology before you “need” it. Utilize digital systems for bookkeeping, estimating, contract management, and communication. It's not about replacing personal touch—it's about being adaptable when disruptions happen. 6. Lean teams are resilient teams   Many small contractors discovered they were carrying extra overhead—unused office space, underutilized vehicles, or administrative costs that didn't directly produce profit. During global disruption, reducing the crew to essentials, subs, and systems made survival possible. Lesson: Know your actual costs and eliminate waste. A lean operation is easier to sustain through downturns and easier to scale when demand returns.   7. Communication is your strongest tool   One of the biggest frustrations during disruption was uncertainty. Clients wanted updates. Subs wanted to know if they'd be paid. Suppliers were vague about delivery dates. Contractors who communicated clearly—even if the news wasn't good—earned respect. Those who stayed silent or overpromised quickly lost trust. Lesson: Make communication a priority. Share updates often and honestly. It builds confidence, even when circumstances aren't ideal.     8. Mental health and burnout are real   Global disruption didn't just strain finances—it strained people. Many contractors burned out from trying to keep jobs going under impossible conditions. Some worked longer hours to break even. Those who emerged stronger learned to set boundaries, delegate, and take care of themselves as much as they did their businesses. Lesson: You can't build a sustainable business if you're running on empty. Take time to recharge. A healthy owner leads a wholesome company.   9. Long-term planning beats short-term panic   Disruption exposed those who were running their business reactively and those who had systems in place for long-term stability. Contractors with business plans, financial tracking, and clear goals were able to make adjustments without losing direction. Those who made decisions only in the heat of crisis often compounded their problems. Lesson: Develop a Long-Term Strategy for Your Business. Even if the world shifts, you'll have a framework to guide your choices.   10. Adaptability is a competitive advantage   Perhaps the biggest lesson? The contractors who survived weren't always the strongest or the biggest—they were the most adaptable. They adopted new ways of working, revised their bidding process, experimented with various marketing approaches, and weren't afraid to adapt their business model. Lesson: Stay flexible. The ability to pivot quickly is more valuable than size or experience.   Final thoughts Global disruption has left scars on the construction industry, but it has also left lessons that we can't ignore. For small contractors, the takeaway is clear: Protect your cash flow. Write airtight contracts. Diversify your work. Invest in relationships and technology. Prioritize communication and your own well-being. Disruptions may come again—whether global or local. But the lessons you've learned now can make your business stronger, more resilient, and more profitable in the long run.

Navigating home improvement projects can be as tricky as walking a tightrope while juggling flaming chainsaws. Eric G and John Dudley take us on an exhilarating ride through the top ten home improvement projects that are basically designed to make a homeowner throw their hands up in despair. From the perils of electrical panel upgrades that could fry your circuits quicker than you can say 'DIY disaster,' to the nightmare of trying to fix water damage that could lead you into a mold-infested abyss, the duo lays it all out. They share tales of hapless homeowners who thought they could tackle roofing repairs, only to end up with a blue tarp covering their house for months, while the neighborhood kids use it as a makeshift fort. With their signature sarcasm, they remind us that some projects are best left to the pros, and that there's no shame in admitting you can't paint the Mona Lisa – or rewire your entire house for that matter. So buckle up, grab your tools (or don't), and let's dive headfirst into the world of home improvement follies where the stakes are high and the consequences are hilariously absurd.Takeaways: Attempting to upgrade your electrical panel is a surefire way to invite disaster; just call a pro instead! Water damage repair is not a DIY project—trust me, your health and home depend on professionals. Roof replacement sounds easy until you're knee-deep in plywood and regret—leave it to the experts. The only thing worse than bad tiling is the mold that follows; hire a pro to avoid a wet mess! Thinking of removing load-bearing walls? Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster—just don't do it! Deck construction may seem straightforward, but unless you want your BBQ party to turn into a disaster, hire the right people!

Some tenants returned to NYCHA's Mitchel Houses Wednesday evening after an explosion tore up the side of the Bronx public housing building. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration announced its holding billions of dollars that had been promised for transit projects in our area. The administration says it's holding the money because of New York's DEI policies.

The Trump administration has frozen $18 billion in federal funds for the Hudson River Gateway tunnel and the Second Avenue subway extension, citing New York's diversity, equity and inclusion requirements. Meanwhile, a New Jersey teenager has been charged with murder after allegedly ramming his SUV into two girls on bicycles, killing them both. At LaGuardia, two Delta jets clipped wings in a low-speed collision that injured one flight attendant. And in New Jersey, leaked Naval Academy records of Rep. Mikie Sherrill are roiling the governor's race as she blames her opponent Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump administration. WNYC's Mike Hayes has the latest.

In this episode of YAS Podcast, host Daisy Ducati, along with co-host AM Davies, engages with guests Elene Lam and Chanelle Gallant to discuss their book 'Not Your Rescue Project.' The conversation delves into the problematic aspects of anti-trafficking movements, revealing how these initiatives often harm rather than help sex workers, particularly migrant and racialized workers. Highlighting the intersection of SW, migration, and racial justice, the discussion uncovers the urgency of addressing the misconceptions behind rescue projects and calls for unified support from the left. The episode also focuses on the organizing efforts of Butterfly, an Asian and migrant SW support network, and explores the detrimental impact of criminalization and policing on sex workers. Listeners are encouraged to educate themselves, support migrant SW organizations, and challenge the systemic issues within anti-trafficking movements.00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Hosts00:41 Welcome to YAS Podcast02:13 Meet Our Guests: Elene Lamb and Chanelle03:17 Discussing 'Not Your Rescue Project'05:48 The Intersection of Sex Work and Racial Justice07:42 Challenges Faced by Migrant SW's10:39 The Role of Anti-Trafficking Movements16:15 The Complexity of Migrant SW21:57 The Anti-Trafficking Industry26:49 Racism in Human Trafficking Narratives37:56 State Exploitation and Armed Robbery38:22 Undercover Officers and Legal Loopholes38:54 ICE Arrests and Migrant SW39:45 The Spectacle of Cruelty in Immigration Enforcement40:14 Sex Workers and Immigration Enforcement Tactics40:43 Anti-Trafficking Organizations and Surveillance43:38 Racial Disparities in Anti-Trafficking Efforts44:05 The Criminalization of Migrant SW's49:44 Funding Disparities in Anti-Trafficking Movements58:55 The Resistance and Organizing of Migrant SW's01:01:14 How to Support Migrant SW's01:04:07 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionLinksButterfly SW OrgButterfly InstagramChanelle Galante WebsiteChanelle InstagramDaisy InstagramYAS Work InstagramYAS Work BlueSkyYAS Work TwitterYAS Work Youtube

Ever been dropped into a troubled project that's already gone off the rails? Welcome to life as “The Wolf.” Inspired by the fixer from Pulp Fiction, Kim and Kate revisit one of our most popular episodes—now a PMI Global talk! —and break down how to step in, take charge, and rescue a broken project without losing your cool. Kim shares his new 3-part formula for project recovery: People first – You aren't just fixing a plan, you're fixing an organization. Calm – Calm is contagious, and you can only control yourself. Clarity & Courage – Seek out misalignment, bring truth to light, and have the guts to ask, “Does this project still make sense?” Of course, Kate keeps Kim honest, adding the perspective (and laughs) that make the tough lessons go down easy. If you've ever been handed a project that feels unsalvageable, this episode is your playbook.

Why do 99% of projects go wrong? Dr. Thomas Zweifel, author of Gorilla in the Cockpit, joins the Measure Success Podcast to explain why the real cause is human—not technical.

2/4: This file covers Fred Hoyle's academic career and the emergence of major cosmological debate. Hoyle earned his Cambridge PhD in 1939, originally wanting to be a chemist. During WWII, he worked on secret radar projects. Meeting astronomer Walter Baade proved pivotal; Baade proposed that Population 2 stars exploded as supernovae, distributing elements to newer stars. This inspired Hoyle's 1946 seminal paper on stellar nucleosynthesis, explaining how elements from hydrogen to uranium form in stars. Cosmological theories crystallized into competing camps: the Big Bang (from Friedmann and Lemaître's "primeval atom") versus Steady State theory. Einstein had written early steady state concepts but discarded them. Gamow supported the Big Bang, proposing all elements were created in the hot early universe. Early universe age estimates varied wildly between 2-10 billion years, far short of the accepted 13.8 billion years. Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate, by Paul Halpern
