On this episode of the “NASM-CPT Podcast,” host Rick Richey welcomes featured guest, Dennis Dunphy, co-founder of Stick Mobility, for an insightful conversation about one of fitness's biggest hot topics: mobility training. Rick kicks off by sharing how Stick Mobility tools have become a staple in his gyms, not just for their versatility, but also the unique feedback and durability they offer, especially compared to traditional PVC or broomsticks. Together, Rick and Dennis dive into the importance of developing mobility and strength beyond just the sagittal plane, highlighting commonly neglected areas like the frontal and transverse planes, rotational movements, and the elusive “spiral line” that, as Dennis says, “isn't spiraling” for many people. Dennis shares the origin story of Stick Mobility, from early experiments with rattan sticks and isometrics to product innovation and global reach—plus how the Cincinnati Bengals gave their stamp of approval. Listeners will learn why mobility has become more than just a buzzword in fitness, why it matters at every age, and how improving hip and spinal mobility can make everyday activities—like getting in and out of a car or reaching for a high shelf—easier and less painful as we age. Tune in for practical tips, inspiration, and ideas to make mobility a priority in your fitness routine!

“Every mammal on this planet, instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply- and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.” – The Matrix Hugo Weaving's Mr. Smith lectures Lawrence Fishburne's Morpheus in The Matrix on humanity's fatal flaw. While history may paint a negative picture of our efforts, the future looks bright. That future is sustainability, a paradigm shift that promises to reshape our relationship with the environment and the resources we consume. This vision of sustainability is not just about preserving nature; it's about creating a healthier, more resilient world for future generations. The components of sustainability in the tech world include energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable product design, and employee engagement. Energy efficiency: companies can optimize manufacturing processes to reduce energy consumption and developing products that are more energy-efficient to cut down operational costs and reduce the impact on the environmental impact. Waste reduction: comprehensive recycling programs, reducing material usage, and improving manufacturing processes, companies can minimize the environmental footprint of their operations and products. Water conservation: Implementing measures to recycle and reuse water to a point where every drop could be recaptured and reused. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This is where the bulk of the efforts can yield real benefits to lower carbon footprints, and reduce/reuse/recycle with ambitious goals of net-zero by 2040. Sustainable product design: there is a fine balance between creating energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products that meet regulatory standards and customer expectations, while also generating a reasonable rate of return for stakeholders. Employee engagement: Encouraging employees to participate in sustainability programs and providing training and resources to support those practices keep the environment front of mind while also pursuing the business of business. One company that exemplifies these principles is Microchip Technology. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their comprehensive approach, known as Microchip 360° Sustainability. This includes energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Their products, such as the PD77728 and PD-70228 ICs, are designed with the lowest power consumption in mind, and their packaging is 100% recyclable, PVC-free, halogen-free, and compliant with ROHS and REACH standards. The GS series of midspans takes this even further with improvements in key areas. Microchip's dedication to sustainability has not gone unnoticed. Forbes recently named them a Net Zero Leader, ranking them #6 on the list. This recognition highlights their leadership in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices. Companies like Microchip are taking real, tangible actions to protect the environment, conserve resources, and minimize waste.   How can Microchip Technology show real leadership in driving sustainability for future generations?   Links from the episode: Microchip's Commitment to Sustainability: Operational Excellence and Innovative Customer Solutions | Microchip Technology microchip.com/poe   Guest: Alan Zwiren

Today, we talk about Ways to Beat The Heat on The Homestead, as well as cover all of our usual Monday segments. Thanks to everyone who reached out about last week's interview with Tactical. We got a lot of feedback, and it's clear that hearing more from him is something the community wants. Featured Event: Rabbit Processing Meetup – June 29 Join us from 1–4pm at the Holler Homestead for a hands-on afternoon of learning, connection, and food. We'll walk through the process of rabbit butchering from dispatch to chill tank. Bring a side dish and come prepared to learn.

Sponsor 2: AgoristTaxAdvice.com – Solid tax strategies for those of us living outside the system. Tales from the Prepper Pantry Freezer went down, but the Yolink sensor caught it in time — major save.   Pickled beet-palooza this week. Pantry smells like vinegar and victory.   Put up a solid batch of dill relish.   Premade meatloaf in the freezer is paying off big right now during long days.   Need to work on a better strategy for keeping the pantry space cooler in summer. Operation Independence We're making steady moves on the Holler Hub setup. Lynne suggested we use the Basecamp basement and classroom for the country store — keycode access and posted hours. Also starting up GSD work weekends this summer. Main Topic of the Day: Ways to Beat The Heat on The Homestead Why This Matters Heat waves can wreck your garden, stress your animals, and push you to your limit. If you ignore the signs, you pay for it later — in lost yield, poor health, or burnout. It's time to adapt. Plant Care During Heat Plants struggle to uptake calcium through roots when soil temps go above ~85°F — a CalMag foliar spray helps keep them from curling up and dying.   Shade cloth is your friend. Your garden doesn't need full sun all day — especially in the South. I built a PVC shade structure that changed the game.   Water early, mulch deep. Timing is key.   Know when to leave stressed plants alone — sometimes less is more.   Livestock Management Pay attention to microclimates. Move animals to shaded, breezy areas if you have them. If not, start figuring out how to create them.   Always be checking water — manually or with sensors. Don't assume it's fine.   Look for signs of heat stress: panting, lethargy, standing in water, reduced feed intake.   Think long-term: is your pasture layout working in July?   Homesteader Self-Care Hydration is more than water — think salt, trace minerals, cucumbers, bone broth.   Plan your day around the sun. Hard stuff in the morning and evening.   Work in bursts — short and intense is often better than long and slow.   Know the signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Don't tough it out.   Systems & Tools Yolink sensors saved my butt this week. Don't rely on memory for water or power checks.   If you have a natural feature like a cold creek — use it. My 55-degree creek is the MVP right now.   Heat is the best teacher. Pay attention and plan infrastructure improvements while you're sweating — you'll actually solve the problem. Reminders Get your Self-Reliance Festival tickets — prices increase soon.   Subscribe to the LFTN newsletter for events, updates, and useful stuff I don't post anywhere else.   Make it a great week.

Ever wonder what it takes to run 300+ marathons in full costume? Meet Charlotte, the runner who's redefining what's possible in both endurance and race day fashion.Charlotte brings a refreshing perspective to ultra running that blends serious mileage with joyful celebration. Unlike many elite runners, she didn't start until her mid-30s after making lifestyle changes for better health. What began with simple run-walk intervals around her hometown loop evolved into an extraordinary journey through every U.S. state and beyond. Her approach to marathons—seeing "America 26.2 miles at a time"—reflects her philosophy that the journey matters as much as the finish line.What truly sets Charlotte apart is her unwavering commitment to costumed running. Her motto—"head to toe, start to finish"—means she never sheds costume pieces, no matter the distance. From a three-tiered birthday cake with PVC pipe infrastructure to a space shuttle costume developed with her mom (an accomplished seamstress), Charlotte transforms races into performance art. When fellow runners inevitably ask at the finish, "Did you wear that the whole race?" she takes pride in always answering "Yes."Charlotte's signature move happens at the 100K mark of ultras: her "Fireball dance" complete with Pitbull music and shared shots has earned her the nickname "Fireball Fairy" in ultra running circles. This blend of endurance and celebration perfectly captures her approach to the sport. As an UESCA certified ultra coach, she emphasizes proper pacing and mental resilience over obsessing about speed.Now with her sights set on joining the exclusive "100 100s Club" (only about 32 people worldwide who've completed one hundred 100-mile races), Charlotte continues to embody how extraordinary achievements can come from finding joy in the process. Follow her journey on Instagram @marathoncostumechic or join the community at Disney Day Drinkers Running Team to witness how sparkle and grit can coexist beautifully on the ultra running trail.Have questions or want to chat?

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫股市北上，商品南下，到底谁错了？来自思想钢印9999。924后的“分手”上半年的股市可谓有惊无险，赚钱机会多多，但隔壁的商品市场就是完全两样的风景，大部分工业品都是“一路南下派”，几乎被空头力量主导，偶尔借停产检修或宏观利好反弹一把，也成为“每涨卖机”。国内上市的67个商品期货品种中，主力合约价格年初以来下跌的有39个，看上去没有那么惨？你再看上涨的28个品种中，几乎都是金银和农产品，工业品只有铜、铝、锡三个国际定价的有色品种和尿素这个严格出口管制的农化产品。像焦煤、玻璃、甲醇、塑料、橡胶、纯碱、螺纹钢这一类重要的大宗商品，都是跌幅巨大。上半年这一轮工业品的下跌，实际上是在延续21年以来的商品熊市：焦煤主力合约上半年跌了34%，从21年最高点跌了80%；玻璃主力合约上半年跌了25%，从21年最高点跌了68%；甲醇主力合约上半年跌了16%，从21年最高点跌了46%；螺纹钢主力合约上半年跌了10%，从21年最高点跌了52%。A股也是2021年见顶的，也就是说，从2022到2024年前三季度，大部分工业品和股市的大方向是一致的，但924行情以后出现了大分化，大部分商品在924暴涨后，又重归漫漫熊途，而股市却留在3300点左右的高位震荡了9个月。股市北上，商品南下，到底哪一个体现了真实的中国经济呢？结构性牛市与工业品熊市924以来，股市上涨的核心动力是“宽财政”，但这一轮“宽财政”不是“大撒币”，也不是“大基建”，而是投向新旧基建、科技、消费和出口多个领域的重点项目，利用低利率环境去覆盖一些投资周期较长的民生项目。主要包括4个方向：1、重大基础设施和重点领域安全能力建设：基建仍是专项债资金的绝对主力方向，但与十年前以地产为核心的基建相比，方向有较大差异，主要投向城市燃气、排水等地下管网、城镇老旧小区和城中村改造、城市更新、水利工程、交通物流重大基础设施等，对应的钢铁和建材用量不算太大，最终也体现在相应的受益行业和大宗商品品种上。2、以旧换新，促内需方向，从汽车、家电、家装、电动自行车扩展至手机、平板、智能手表手环等数码产品，以及服务消费3、新兴产业：设备更新、新型基础设施、算力、产业园区等；4、民生保障和房地产托底所以本轮“宽财政”不太典型，规模只是相对“宽”，意在托底而非刺激，方向并非针对宏观经济，而是以点带面，导致从数据上看，通缩继续，CPI、PPI仍然在负区间，企业风险偏好不变，PMI一直在50上下徘徊，社融规模中的中长期贷款增长乏力，只有政府负债独撑大梁。但毕竟是财政发力了，“宽财政”下就不太可能有熊市，只不过板块之间的结构性冷热不均就非常明显了。所以财政发力方向与股市的结构性牛市，大致是统一的，924以来，上涨明显的行业有两大类：1、TMT类行业，半导体、软件、游戏、机器人等，反映了国内重点投向科技高端制造战略，以及全球的人工智能大趋势2、部分消费品行业，主要在新零售、个护用品、游戏、电商、IP经济和休闲食品等具有“个性化和高性价比”特征的板块这两类行业都避开了需要强刺激的总量经济行业，前者是有政策重点支持的方向，后者是财政托底后，消费有自发韧性和创新的方向。而924以来，重归漫漫熊途的行业也有两大类：1、传统总量经济下的典型行业，主要是地产基建链各行业、煤炭、白酒、造纸、炼化2、产能过剩的行业，主要是21年以来各地疯狂投资上产能的新能源前一类体现地产下行周期的惯性，后一类体现了每一轮产业政策都留下的产能过剩的老毛病，也是高层不愿再进行大规模财政刺激的原因之一。再看财政发力方向与商品市场的牛熊格局，也是一致的。工业品本轮下跌主要是三大方向：第一个方向是黑色系，焦煤、玻璃、纯碱、螺纹钢，下游主要是建筑地产行业，主要体现了房地产下行周期的拖累。第二个方向是能化系，烧碱、纯碱、甲醇、塑料、苯乙烯、乙二醇、PVC等等，都是前几年石化产能大扩张，导致产能过剩的行业，再加上原油煤炭价格下跌，成本崩塌。第三个方向是新能源系，多晶硅、工业硅和碳酸锂，下游需求很好，纯粹是因为过度投资导致的产能严重过剩。商品走熊的三大方向，跟股市走熊的两大方向，还有国民经济的通缩方向一致。再看今年唯一表现较好的是有色的三个品种，铜、铝和锡，除了供给因素外，其下游主要行业与财政发力的方向都有一定关系：铜下游的汽车家电机械行业，受益于国补以旧换新，电力和新能源也是新一轮基建投资的重点方向，而地产建筑国内已经下降到个位数，影响较小。铝的下游行业占比结构发生显著变化，建筑用铝占比降至20-25%，工业铝型材、电力、交通运输等新兴领域占比提升，后者是财政发力的主要方向，有效抵消了地产周期下行。锡的下游主要是半导体，受益于全球AI基建投资和半导体周期。事实上，有色中与房地产关联程度最高的锌，与新能源产能过剩相关的镍、硅、锂，今年也是一直在下跌。当然，上面的分析都是定性的，还是很难说明，差异为什么那么大，比如螺纹、热卷价格年初至今下跌10%以上，但钢铁行业涨幅1.5%，玻璃跌了25%，但玻璃玻纤行业上涨2.96%；碳酸锂跌了21%，但锂矿行业涨了2.03%，反而是下游的电池行业跌了4.4%？还有，这一轮通缩，为什么主要体现在工业品而不是农产品的价格上？工业品价格的下跌，有商品期货市场的内在因素。真正的“大空头”很多研究周期品较少的投资者，常常有这样一个疑问：相当多的工业品种已经跌到了成本附近，加上费用，根本不赚钱，甚至很多能化品种在成本线下两三年了，为什么大量的企业还在源源不断地生产？商品期货市场的参与者中，生产企业和贸易商是绝对的主力，理论上说，他们都是天然的商品多头，牛市中不需要参与市场，也能自然从商品价格的上涨中获利，反之也说明，熊市中，他们必须积极的参与期货市场，做空头套保，对冲现货的损失。这种参与者结构与利益诉求，造成期货市场中国内定价商品的大行情上涨大多是尖顶，下跌大多是圆弧底。因为上涨行情的推动者以投机资金为主，手里没有货，又时刻提防产业资本的套保盘，所以高价站不稳；而下跌行情的推动者主要是产业的套保资金，用期货市场的收益对冲一部分或全部产品跌价的损失，心态上比较放松，每次反弹都成为加空的机会，涨多了，就注册仓单，准备交割现货，形成盘面上的阴跌与磨底，有时会持续一两年。这种参与者结构，加上国内大部分行业产能过剩的现状，导致国内定价商品，下跌时，成本并不重要。主要玻璃企业一季度没有一家亏损，耀皮玻璃、旗滨集团竟然净利润是同比上涨的。中国的商品期货近十年发展很快，很多品种都只有国内有，拥有了全球定价权，体现了中国制造业大国应有的地位。但商品期货市场的快速发展，也改变了很多生产型企业的经营行为。比如一个产能100万吨，产能利用率50%的企业，遇到商品熊市时，由于下游拿货谨慎，销售下降到30万吨，还多了20万吨成为库存，承受继续跌价的风险。以往的方法，企业应该开始减产，但这种做法对很多生产刚性的行业并不友好，一旦销售转好，产品又会脱销。而现在的方法是保持产能利用率，对这20万吨库存进行套保，保证企业的平稳运行。以前“现货微利+库存跌价”时，企业在成本线上就实际亏损了，但现在“现货微利+库存套保无损失”，就能够长期在成本线附近保持正常生产，成本线以下咬牙挺几个月现金流也能撑住。以前商品价格下跌过快时，生产企业就会搞停线检修、联合减产等，但效果往往不好，因为每家企业生产成本不同、经营目标不同、市场占有率不同，自然各怀鬼胎，最终该怎么跌还是怎么跌。但有了商品期货就不一样了，期货就是服务于产业，套保是期货市场的重要职能，能用套保挺过去的下行周期，还搞个毛的联合减产？不减产不挺价，还可以逼迫成本高的企业出清，提高自己的市占率，何乐而不为呢？套保运用到了一定程度，甚至可以根据期货价格调整产能利用率，不但为库存套保，而且为正常销售量、甚至多余产能配空单，如果期货价格上涨，就提升产能利用率，虚盘变实盘，增加的产量用于交割而非销售。只要能顺利交割，既有现货，又有产能的企业是风险最小的空头。对企业个体而言，熊市中套保就是最有利的选择。但市场的悖论在于，对个体最理性的选择，对整体而言，却绝非理性。整个行业中，只要有一家主要的企业做套保，其他企业就不能不跟进；整个上下游产业链中，有一个环节做套保的比较多，其他环节也是能做则做。价格在经济学上的核心作用是调节供需，通过价格下跌减少供给、增加需求，如果大部分厂家都通过套保增强成本线附近保持产能的能力，如果宏观经济本身的下行导致价格下降也不能新增需求，那商品的价格就不可能在成本线附近止住，而是一跌再跌。就算是跌到企业现金流成本附近，部分企业退出，由于实际产能仍然高于需求，价格只会长期磨底，而难有反转。以大家最熟悉的养猪企业来说，21年生猪期货上市后4年，传统意义上的猪周期就没有起来过，肉价波动一年比一年低。大中型企业普遍建立专业套保团队，做空生猪远月期货合约，锁定出栏价格，甚至把套保范围扩展至饲料端，实现全产业链风险管理；就连中小养殖户也可以通过保险公司旗下的期货子公司购买看跌期权，形成风险分散闭环，“兜底”生猪价格——没有人去产能了，哪里来的猪周期？有了产业资本这个最中坚的“空头司令”后，相关的做空商品需求的资金就会增加，而且基本面越差，越弱的商品，被其他空头选中的概率越高。今年就是玻璃和焦煤，撇开纯投机的资金不谈，太多资金有利用这两个品种做空的动机了：持有煤炭股的，可以空焦煤对冲；看好经济复苏但看空房地产的人，可以多股票空黑色系商品；做原材料套利的可以多铁矿空焦煤玻璃……金融为实体经济作贡献总结一下本文的三个结论：1、股市和商品在涨跌结构上是一致的，与本轮行情“宽财政”的发力方向有直接关系。2、股市的强势体现了新兴产业的景气度和消费的韧性，而商品的弱势主要体现了房地产下行周期和传统行业产能过剩。3、商品的弱势本身也是参与者结构造成的，往往通过金融市场形成过度超跌。最后一点与产能过剩的大背景有直接的关系，这次将是一个长期的问题，所以再展开补充几句：股票更多体现预期，商品更多体现现实，特别是产能过剩的现实。不过，期货市场预期也可以部分扭曲现实，现在的现货成交也要参考期货价格。而生产商积极套保，体现的是严重产能过剩下，企业的价格战从实体经济打到金融市场。期货市场是零和游戏，空方必定对应多头，有人赚钱必定对应有人亏钱，实体企业在期货市场的做空收益，对应金融市场的投机多头的亏损，特别是那些喜欢“逆势抄底”的散户。交易所虽然是中介机构，但在金融为实体经济服务的大方针下，服务地方经济，也尽可能方便生产企业交割。不要看玻璃跌到1000元一吨，碳酸锂跌到6万，实际参与交割的企业，销售价格在三个月前就定在了1200元和7万。所以商品的“超跌”，也算是金融市场参与者均摊实体经济在通缩下的损失，从好的地方说，也就是金融为实体经济作贡献吧。只不过，去产能就更加遥遥无期了。

Send us a textSustainability doesn't belong on a data sheet—it belongs at the heart of your business strategy. Rizin Kabeer, product management leader at Blue Rhine, reveals how this UAE-based company is transforming the printing landscape across the region and beyond through genuine environmental commitment and customer education.Discover the remarkable story behind Blue Rhine's Kavalan Green Spirit Award-winning project for the Hero Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament. What began as a printing challenge blossomed into a comprehensive sustainability showcase, incorporating solar power, electric vehicles, biofuel adoption, and zero single-use plastics. In a region known for harsh climatic conditions, Kavalan's PVC-free materials proved to be "the missing piece of the puzzle," delivering exceptional visual quality without environmental compromise.The conversation challenges common misconceptions about sustainability in the UAE. Far from being just an oil region, the country is pioneering ambitious ecological initiatives—transforming high-traffic areas into car-free zones and implementing comprehensive recycling programs. Blue Rhine capitalises on this momentum by focusing on what Kabir calls the "four Cs": building confidence in sustainable materials, addressing cost considerations, providing clarity in communication, and enhancing capability through hands-on training.Perhaps most significant is Blue Rhine's approach to customer relationships. Rather than simply selling sustainable products, they educate clients about lifecycle benefits, accompany them to brand meetings, and empower them to become "champions of the cause." Through Kavalan's innovative eco calculator, they translate complex environmental impacts into easily understood metrics that resonate with clients.As the printing industry navigates its sustainability journey, Blue Rhine offers a compelling model of balancing performance with responsibility. Their interconnected team approach drives innovation while maintaining their core commitment: being there for customers when it matters most.Listen on:Apple PodcastGoogle PodcastSpotifyWhat is FuturePrint?

How is it on every purchase, at every store, the “powers that be” want us as a consumer, to leave a review? I know I ask you to leave a review, but, I'm stopping that today! When I buy three 3-foot pieces of PVC to make a cat tree…NO, I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT! I picked up meds at the pharmacy, again, just like I have for years… “would you like to take a survey?” NO! If I need to complain, or to compliment, I'll ask for a manager at that time.

No sexto e último episódio, acompanhamos os últimos anos de Neymar entre lesões, polêmicas e a ausência dos campos. Fora dos holofotes europeus, ele aceita a proposta bilionária do Al-Hilal e vai para a Arábia Saudita, onde joga pouco e se machuca rápido. Em sua volta ao Santos, Neymar e seu pai emplacam um contrato de R$ 105 milhões. Fora de campo, se associa a casas de apostas e enfrenta escândalos ao lado do pai, seu parceiro para todas as horas.

Voices resound on stone, and trumpet through abandoned pipes.A hum, a howl, a half-remembered hymn—Sticks whack PVC pipes, the sound swallowed and reshaped.Somewhere, a songbird forgets its own tune.Somewhere, a coyote grins in the dark.A card is flipped, a role is claimed.Sing low enough, and the walls might sing back.Step inside. You might just hear your own voice waiting.Free Story & Media ConsultationComment and Subscribe here This is a public episode.

They also discuss the lifespan of these materials and the importance of proper installation to avoid costly repairs and various aspects of sewer line repairs, focusing on the importance of proper techniques, materials, and the need for homeowners to hire knowledgeable professionals. They delve into the geographic variations in sewer materials, the process of accessing and repairing sewer lines, and the different methods and technologies used in pipe lining. They emphasize the significance of understanding the complexities of sewer repairs and the potential pitfalls of hiring inexperienced contractors.Here's the  link to Noah Gavic's company: https://www.brosunderground.com/Check this link to Tessa's website: https://www.yourhousecoach.com/TakeawaysNoah Gavic has 21 years of experience in the plumbing industry.Brothers Underground focuses on educating customers about their sewer options.Cast iron and clay tile are the two most common sewer pipe types.Roots intrude into pipes primarily through leaks, not through solid walls.Chain cleaning is a high-speed, low-torque method for cleaning pipes.Improper chain cleaning can damage pipes, leading to costly repairs.Jetter machines use high-pressure water to clean pipes without damaging them.Homeowners should be cautious about DIY drain cleaning due to potential risks.Professional drain cleaning costs can range from $300 to $2400 depending on the service.Knowing the length of a sewer line is crucial for effective cleaning. Access to sewer lines can be forgotten or lost.Sewer line lengths can vary significantly based on connections.Homeowners share responsibility for shared sewer lines.Historical codes have changed regarding sewer installations.Cement asbestos pipes are common in homes built in the 50s and 60s.Orangeburg pipes are known for their poor durability.PVC is the most common pipe used today, but it has limitations.HDPE is flexible and resistant to breaking under pressure.Proper installation is crucial to avoid future plumbing issues.Lining pipes can extend their lifespan and prevent leaks. Proper sewer line repairs require the right materials and techniques.Geographic variations affect the types of materials used in sewer systems.Accessing sewer lines can be done through clean-out access points.The lining process involves inserting a liner that hardens in place.Different methods exist for lining pipes, including pull-in-place and inversion techniques.Curing methods for liners can vary, including steam and UV light.Choosing the right materials is crucial for effective repairs.Homeowners should be cautious when hiring contractors for sewer repairs.Lifetime warranties on repairs may not be reliable.

Peter Capaldi – aka Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, the universal screen delight and an Oscar-winning film director – was the singer in the punk band the Dreamboys in the late ‘70s who put out a single when he was at the art school in Glasgow. And then became an actor. And then - in the grand tradition of actors who've made albums, Hugh Laurie, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Bridges and Keanu Reeves among them – released St Christopher in 2021. He's just recorded a second, Sweet Illusions, and talks to us in this extremely funny and entertaining pod about … … how his sole motivation was “a burning desire to be on the telly”. … the difference between fronting bands and being in plays. … how he grievously stitched up support band the Cocteau Twins at a gig in Grangemouth. … a teenage love of Slade - “a bit terrifying but still a bit safe”. … first-hand evidence of the connection between Blakey from On the Buses, Adolph Hitler and Beatles. … “you have to write a hundred songs before you can write a good one”. … arriving at art school in '76 a Neil Young fan and his overnight transformation – “peroxide hair, PVC trousers and bright red crepe sole shoes”. … seeing Simple Minds at the Mars Bar in Glasgow, Jim Kerr with his Shakespearian haircut, “strange, powerful, imaginative, post-glam”. … forming the Dreamboys and “trying to be big, clever and Kafka-esque”. … the stigma of being virtually the only band in Glasgow not to get a John Peel session. … writing the “bizarro pulp” lyrics for the Dreamboys – “we couldn't decide if we were the Cramps or Talking Heads”. … what's required, “apart from a terrible Scouse accent”, in playing John Lennon onstage and George Harrison onscreen. … auditioning (comedian, actor, TV host) Craig Ferguson as the band's drummer.   … how Bill Forsyth launched his acting career: “one minute you're supporting Altered Images, the next in a movie with Burt Lancaster”. … forming a duo with Keanu Reeves when filming Dangerous Liaisons in Paris – powdered wigs in the daytime, guitar/bass punk-thrash at night. .. the romantic Edward Hopper charm of Glasgow in the ‘70s - proto-goths, street lights, rain. … how Dr Robert of the Blow Monkeys and four months filming The Suicide Squad in Atlanta spurred him into writing songs.   … the greatest record of all time. Order the Sweet Illusions album here:https://shop.lastnightfromglasgow.com/products/peter-capaldi-sweet-illusions-vinyl-lp-cd-lossless-dlHelp us to keep the conversation going by joining our global Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the first official “Ask The Experts” edition of Build. Matt answers real questions from builders, architects, and fans of the show. This episode covers a wide range of high-performance building topics that every pro should consider. First, Matt breaks down unvented attic assemblies in LA's dry climate, offering insulation recommendations and best practices for staying code-compliant without overcomplicating the build. Then, he dives into the hot topic of venting dryers in airtight homes—exploring options like heat pump dryers and makeup air systems.Next up, a thoughtful discussion on HVAC design in energy-efficient, all-electric homes, especially when working with contractors who size systems by square footage instead of proper Manual J calculations. Matt shares practical advice for builders working in high desert climates and explains the value of multi-stage and VRF equipment. Finally, he addresses one of the most overlooked but crucial areas of waterproofing: sill pans. From stainless steel to PVC, Matt discusses materials, back dam design, and how to prevent rust or water intrusion under doors.Have a question for Matt (or any of the Build Experts)?

Paleontology is the most painful science. We get to look back at all the cool animals that once roamed the earth and cry about it. After investigating the worst fossil reconstruction in history, the Deep Lore Boys investigate the Siberian Unicorn, Glyptodon and fairy armadillos, before jumping ahead a few thousand years to the 1993 Miami gorilla suit sting. After that, Theo Jansen brings PVC pipes to life with his roaming ecosystem of Strandbeests.DEEP LORE DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/V7hqXWDg9pINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/deep_lore_boys_podcast/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@deeploreboys/featuredIntro: City Lights — Babasmas [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: https://youtu.be/W9IQfypOkkYFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/city-lightsMusic: Jazz In Paris - Media Right Productions https://youtu.be/mNLJMTRvyj8

Les Ecolo, après leur gadin électoral, avaient juré de bouder dans l'opposition. Mais dix mois plus tard, ils reviennent à pas feutrés, genre « coucou, y a encore des chips ? ».

In this episode Sean is finally ready to reveal the new product Miscreants is building! Meanwhile Andrew's robotics team is getting dangerously close to qualifying for the World Championships, and the guys debate marketing new products. This episode was originally supposed to go out a couple weeks ago, but we're playing with our publishing schedule a bit. Links:Andrew's Twitter: @AndrewAskinsAndrew's website: https://www.andrewaskins.com/MetaMonster: https://metamonster.ai/Sean's Twitter: @seanqsunMiscreants: http://miscreants.com/Sean's website: https://seanqsun.com/For more information about the podcast, check out https://www.smalleffortspod.com/.Transcript:00:00:01.03SeanHow you doing?00:00:01.98AndrewI'm good.00:00:02.68SeanHappy Wednesday.00:00:03.55AndrewHappy Wednesday. Things are hectic. My entire life is robotics and also trying to launch a product on Monday. But yeah, I'm kind of delighted that I don't have, no offense, but I'm delighted I don't have any miscreants clients right now.00:00:09.88SeanHell yeah.00:00:16.49SeanFor yet, you know I got two product inbounds in like one day.00:00:21.53AndrewOh, I knew about one. I didn't know about both.00:00:24.39Seani got another Well, i actually, technically, Osuja's got another.00:00:28.53AndrewSo we're up to three. Great.00:00:29.56SeanYeah.00:00:29.65AndrewCool. Cool.00:00:30.24Seanyeah00:00:30.41AndrewCool.00:00:31.14SeanI can just not close them.00:00:31.22AndrewOkay.00:00:32.71SeanYou know?00:00:33.75AndrewI mean, I do like being able to pay my bills.00:00:35.38SeanCash.00:00:37.32AndrewSo yeah, I probably will tell them I can't start on anything until May though. All right, good.00:00:44.47SeanThat's fine. That's what we're telling everyone right now. We're all inbound that comes in. We're swamped for RSA at the moment. We can kick things off and start like loosely, but it's like hands-on keyboard stuff.00:00:57.38SeanEveryone's tied up.00:00:58.19AndrewNice. When is RSA?00:00:59.99SeanApril 28th. 26th is when Gyside starts.00:01:01.61AndrewOkay, cool.00:01:01.81SeanYep.00:01:03.19AndrewSo the reason that I can't start anything until May is, one, we're launching Metamonster, the beta, on Monday, and I need to like ramp all of our marketing back up, like start up Google Ads, start doing cold outreach, all that stuff again.00:01:17.34SeanHell00:01:18.56AndrewBut two... There is now a non-zero percent chance that my robotics team makes it to Worlds and has to raise $10,000 and figure out how to get 15 high schoolers to Houston in like two weeks.00:01:28.86Seanhe yeah. That's awesome. 10K. Okay.00:01:32.02AndrewYeah, I don't actually know what it will cost. That's just like kind of a number I'm pulling out of my ass. But like we need to pay for like 15 flights, hotel rooms, and to transport a robot across the country.00:01:36.40Seanokay00:01:43.57AndrewYeah.00:01:44.78Seanjust have them take the pieces apart, put it in a suitcase, and rebuild it. And then you...00:01:51.04AndrewYeah, that is that sounds like an idea from someone who has never touched a first robotics robot in their life.00:01:56.15SeanI've done Legos and failed at the at the tech whatever it's called, the kinetic Legos.00:01:57.97AndrewYeah, same thing. Same thing.00:02:03.14AndrewThe, like, robo-LEGO thing?00:02:04.71SeanYeah, yeah, yeah.00:02:05.70AndrewYeah.00:02:05.81SeanI tried once was over.00:02:07.62AndrewYeah, so...00:02:07.79Seanwent back. Yeah.00:02:09.30Andrewwe crushed our second competition again and what that means this is i'll try not to get too into the weeds because first robotics is so incredibly convoluted but basically we have racked up 112 district ranking points between our first two competitions you need about 70 to qualify for the state championships00:02:11.88SeanCongrats.00:02:21.21SeanNice. Overqualified.00:02:29.05Seannice00:02:34.30Andrewwhich, so we have officially qualified for states. I leave at 6.30 tomorrow morning to go to the state championship for the first time ever.00:02:37.49Seanoverqualified00:02:43.78AndrewOur team has never been. And then district rank points are also how you qualify for worlds. So generally speaking, if you get 150 state rank points, then you qualify for worlds.00:02:58.55AndrewAnd points at states count for triple what normal points count for so if we finish kind of middle of the road and make it into playoffs and like win a playoff match we will almost definitely qualify for worlds Which would be absolutely bonkers because then we, as I mentioned, have to raise a bunch of money, figure out how to get a bunch of kids to Houston, and compete against the best robots in the world as a tiny scrappy team that has never even been to States before.00:03:33.77AndrewAnd it gets crazier. I've been doing some research. I don't think a Detroit public school from like our school district has ever made it to Worlds.00:03:46.99AndrewThere's only one team from DHDC that's ever made it. And I think they might have been like a private team, a private school or a charter school or something. There are a ton of teams from the Detroit metro area who make it, but they're all in the suburbs.00:04:00.99AndrewI think we'd be the first Detroit public school from, at least from our school district, to ever make it to Worlds if this happens.00:04:08.93Seanthis is This is like a real like Mr. Shushita moment.00:04:11.87AndrewIt's crazy.00:04:12.81SeanThis is awesome. This is cool.00:04:14.19AndrewIt's like total Cinderella story vibes.00:04:16.66SeanYeah. was going to work.00:04:17.56AndrewNow, if we make it to Worlds, we are going to get obliterated.00:04:18.25SeanGlee.00:04:21.47Andrewwe are like I've been watching videos of some of the top robots, and they're insane.00:04:25.80Seanyeah00:04:28.59AndrewThere's a robot from San Francisco that is like, it can put up three or four X the points that we can put up in a given match by itself.00:04:37.99SeanGotcha.00:04:38.84AndrewIt's stupid.00:04:39.98SeanI see.00:04:40.96AndrewBut...00:04:40.98SeanWhat makes their robots so good? I see.00:04:43.63AndrewSo actually really, really fucking clever strategy.00:04:48.36Seani see00:04:49.24AndrewSo you have to know a little bit about the game to understand this, but basically like one of the core mechanisms of the game is, you get these like foot-long PVC pipes, and you have to deliver them to a station in the middle of the field and place them on a rung of this ...

Phillip Cooke, a pilot for Air Transport International (ATI), shares his journey from flight simulation enthusiast to professional aviator. Growing up with a passion for aviation, inspired by his father, he started with a PVC pipe yoke before diving into flight simulators. He earned his private pilot license and attended ATP Flight School in Long Beach, CA. His career path took him through flying the PC-12 for a small charter company, then the Cessna Caravan 208, before moving on to SkyWest. Before completing training at SkyWest, an opportunity at ATI arose, leading him to fly the Boeing 757/767 for Prime Air cargo operations. Beyond real-world flying, Phillip is deeply involved in VR-based flight simulation, investing in a high-end setup to stay sharp. He discusses how flight sim technology is an invaluable tool for pilots, offering realistic training at a fraction of the cost of real-world flying. He also participates in online multiplayer ATC environments, simulating real-world airline operations, including long-haul FedEx routes with real NOTAMs and weather conditions.

Durante el confinamiento por el Covid-19, IFEMA, la Feria de Madrid, se reconvirtió en el hospital más grande del país en marzo de 2020. Durante unas semanas fue escenario de la lucha cuerpo a cuerpo contra el virus. Lalo Tovar, periodista de RNE, habla a las puertas de ese edificio con Juanjo Pérez Blanco, ingeniero jefe del proyecto que reconvirtió enormes naves en hospitales de campaña, y Luis Vázquez González, uno de los enfermeros que trabajó sin parar. Juanjo recuerda cómo se puso en marcha todo el viernes 20 de marzo: "Me llama primero Yolanda Fuentes, la directora de Salud Pública, y me comenta que seguramente haya que montar un hospital en IFEMA". Un cuarto de hora después le llamó Enrique Ruiz Escudero, consejero de Sanidad, para decirle que eran necesarias 5.000 camas. "Esa noche se pusieron 31.000 metros cuadrados de PVC, o sea, tres Bernabéu. Fue espectacular", relata. Luis se presentó en la Feria de Madrid el 21 de marzo, por la tarde-noche, cuando llegaban los primeros pacientes, pero no empezó a trabajar hasta el lunes siguiente. Tiene muy presente los momentos en los que la cifra de fallecidos superaba los 900 cada día: "Los sanitarios estábamos muy pendientes y deseando que el trabajo que estábamos haciendo tuviera algún efecto ya". El enfermero tiene un deseo: "Me gustaría que IFEMA quedase como el símbolo de la sociedad civil cuidando de la propia sociedad", sobre esto, Juanjo añade que lo más importante de esos días fue la gente, que se llegó a impregnar del llamado "espíritu IFEMA".

This Sunday, Eric continued our Gratitude Economy series, showing how true transformation happens when gratitude leads to generosity. Using a PVC pipe illustration, he explained that spiritual growth requires both loving God and loving others—and that real gratitude always overflows into generosity. In 2 Corinthians 8 we saw that the Macedonian churches gave beyond their ability, not out of obligation, but because gratitude fueled their generosity. If we want to grow in gratitude, we have to grow in generosity—and that takes a plan. What's one step you can take this week?

Guests and HostGuest: Larry Jaffee, Author, Journalist, Professor, and Co-Founder of Making Vinyl | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larry-jaffee-1379bb2/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinShow NotesVinyl records have experienced one of the most unexpected resurgences in music history. Once considered obsolete, the format has reestablished its presence in the music sales market, attracting collectors, audiophiles, and younger generations discovering the medium for the first time. On this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin is joined by Larry Jaffee, journalist, author, and co-founder of Making Vinyl, to explore the past, present, and future of vinyl records.The History and Evolution of VinylLarry Jaffee's passion for music began early, shaped by childhood experiences with radio, tape recorders, and eventually, his first turntable. His journey mirrors that of recorded music itself—from early reel-to-reel tapes and cassettes to the dominance of LPs. Jaffee explains how vinyl records initially took hold in the 1940s, replacing fragile shellac 78s, and how the industry saw its first format war between Thomas Edison's cylinders and Emil Berliner's flat disc records.By the 1980s, however, vinyl was rapidly losing ground to compact discs, and later, digital streaming. The shift was largely driven by convenience, corporate pressure, and the record industry's aggressive push for higher-priced CDs. As labels stopped accepting returns on LPs, retailers began phasing them out. Yet, as Jaffee points out, the format never truly disappeared. Audiophile labels, collectors, and independent artists kept vinyl alive, setting the stage for its resurgence decades later.The Vinyl RevivalVinyl's comeback has been driven by multiple factors, including nostalgia, superior sound quality, and a renewed appreciation for physical media. Jaffee highlights Record Store Day, the annual event launched in 2008 that played a key role in reigniting public interest in records. Starting with just a dozen exclusive releases and a high-profile in-store appearance by Metallica, Record Store Day quickly gained traction, attracting major labels and leading to hundreds of special vinyl releases each year.Independent artists and labels have also embraced vinyl as a way to connect with fans and generate revenue. Unlike streaming, where payouts are minimal, selling a physical album—especially directly to fans—can be a major source of income for musicians. Jaffee notes that younger generations are playing a key role in sustaining the trend, with millennial and Gen Z listeners making up a growing portion of vinyl buyers.Sound Quality and the Vinyl ExperienceOne of the biggest debates in music is whether vinyl actually sounds better than digital formats. While some argue that CDs and high-resolution digital files offer cleaner sound, vinyl enthusiasts appreciate the warmth, depth, and dynamic range that analog recordings provide. The experience of playing a record—removing it from the sleeve, placing it on the turntable, and carefully dropping the needle—also adds a tactile, immersive element that digital music lacks.Jaffee discusses how vinyl manufacturing has improved in recent years, with pressing plants refining quality control and experimenting with new formulations, including colored and marbled vinyl. However, the resurgence has also exposed industry bottlenecks, with pressing plants struggling to keep up with demand.The Future of Vinyl: Sustainability and InnovationAs vinyl production increases, concerns about its environmental impact have also grown. Traditional records are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a material that Greenpeace considers among the most harmful plastics. Jaffee is now involved in efforts to create plant-based, sustainable alternatives, and his team recently produced their first eco-friendly record using a new biodegradable material.With new pressing plants opening, younger audiences embracing the format, and innovations in sustainability, vinyl's future looks promising. While digital music remains dominant, the continued demand for physical media proves that records are more than just a nostalgic novelty—they offer an experience that streaming cannot replicate.Listen to the Full EpisodeLarry Jaffee's deep knowledge of music history, industry shifts, and the cultural significance of vinyl makes this an essential episode for music fans. Tune in to Music Evolves to hear more about the making of records, the role of packaging and design, and what's next for the format that refuses to fade.SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring this show or running ad placement in the podcast?Sponsorship

What if everything we've been told is backwards? Peanuts have been labeled bad for us due to mycotoxins, but what if they're actually protective—especially against EMFs? And copper, once a staple in our lives through pipes, tools, and cups, has been replaced with iron, PVC, and plastic. Why did we move away from this beneficial material? In this episode, Matt Roeske of Cultivate Elevate explores "inverted truths" about our health and well-being. From climate change and its manufactured narrative to the real story behind peanuts, copper, and water scarcity, Matt challenges mainstream assumptions.

The alpine forests of Australia's southeast are home to an iconic pint-sized gray parrot with a bright red mohawk, and a call that's been described as a “flying creaky gate.” The Gang-gang Cockatoo has seen significant habitat loss in recent years, especially after the 2020 wildfires. It's now listed as an endangered species. A new national working group is coordinating recovery efforts. Researchers and community scientists are trialing an innovation on the Gang-gang population called the “Cockatube” — a PVC tube designed to host a cockatoo nest.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Dean DeSoto has been teaching his driving class for aggressive drivers over the past 26 years. During that time, he has come to believe several things. One is that what goes on in the country will play out on its roadways. Another is that anger on the roads is getting worse. Across the country, the number of people injured or killed in road rage incidents involving a gun has doubled since 2018, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group. There is no uniform definition of aggressive driving across law enforcement agencies and no national database to track it, but DeSoto has been keeping his own tally, including cases in Texas involving guns, knives, ice picks, 2-by-4s, tire tools, PVC pipe, plumbing pipe, bats, hammers, shovels, hatchets, ball bearings, marbles, frozen water bottles, bricks, stones and, in at least one instance, a spear.This story follows attendees of DeSoto's class as well as a police officer who encounters rage from motorists in Texas. The piece was reported, written and read by Ruby Cramer. Audio production and original music by Bishop Sand.
