Episode Summary (Dot Points)Understanding Cybercrime through Strain and Anomie TheoriesDr. Dearden explains how strain theory and anomie theory provide insights into cybercriminal motivations.Discussion on economic and social pressures that push individuals toward cybercrime, including unemployment, inequality, and lack of upward mobility.The Role of Honeypots in Cybercrime ResearchOverview of honeypots—deceptive systems designed to attract cyber attackers.How honeypots help researchers observe and analyze hacker behaviors in real-world settings.Differences in hacking techniques and motivations across different regions.Regional Variations in Cybercriminal ActivitiesWhy cybercrime is not uniformly distributed worldwide despite the internet being a global network.Case studies on West African romance scams, Russian cyber operations, and Indian call center frauds.The interplay between legitimate and illegitimate economies in cybercrime hotspots.Cybercrime and Economic OpportunityFindings from recent research on how financial strain vs. greed influences cybercrime.The role of cryptocurrency in enabling financial cybercrimes and providing anonymity to offenders.Discussion on how cybercrime prevention strategies need to address offender motivations, not just security vulnerabilities.Future Research and Policy ImplicationsThe need for broader, structural changes to mitigate cybercrime, rather than relying solely on reactive security measures.How cross-national studies and criminological data collection can improve cybercrime prevention strategies.Upcoming projects on measuring cyber-offending patterns and regional differences in hacking behavior.About Our GuestDr. Thomas Deardenhttps://liberalarts.vt.edu/departments-and-schools/department-of-sociology/faculty/thomas-dearden.htmlPapers and Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeDearden, T.

In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth and Bob Higgins discuss the complexities of moisture testing in concrete. They explore the misconceptions surrounding moisture dynamics, the importance of time of installation testing, and the regional variations in moisture standards. Bob emphasizes the need for better moisture data interpretation and environmental factors impact on concrete performance.Takeaways • Moisture testing in concrete is often misinterpreted. • Older concrete can have more moisture-related issues than newer concrete. • Timing of installation testing is crucial to avoid moisture claims. • Concrete's top inch is often weaker and more permeable. • Environmental control is essential during concrete installation. • Salts in concrete can attract moisture from the air. • Regional differences affect moisture standards and testing. • Understanding building science can prevent costly mistakes. • The stack effect can influence moisture levels in multi-story buildings. • New concrete formulations may have increased alkalinity, leading to more issues.Chapters 00:00 Rethinking Moisture Testing in Concrete 10:48 Understanding Concrete's Moisture Dynamics 15:29 Time of Installation Testing 20:55 Regional Variations in Moisture Standards18:44 Internal vs External Concrete Issues 22:33 Balancing Water in Concrete Mixes 25:32 The Future of Concrete Materials***Did you learn something from this episode?

This episode explains why the definition of Chief of Staff is all over the place due to the role's relative newness in business. Examples from around the world illustrate how the role varies: in Singapore, it's little known; in Mexico, it's often confused with HR; and in Germany, it has military connotations. Emily suggests the role will become more structured and better understood in the next 10-15 years.Links Mentioned:Clarity Call with EmilyFree Resources:Strategic Planning Checklist Chief of Staff Skills Assessment ChecklistA Day in the Life of a Chief of StaffChief of Staff ToolkitGet in touch with Emily:Connect on LinkedInFollow on YouTubeLearn more about coaching Sign up for the newsletterClarity Call with EmilyWho Am I?If we haven't yet before - Hi

In this episode, Seth interviews Mike Hernandez, the Technical Director of the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC), about a survey they conducted on Portland Limestone Cement (PLC). The survey aimed to understand the challenges and differences contractors were experiencing when using PLC compared to traditional cement mixes. Mike discusses the survey results, which showed increased water demand and set times, as well as changes in plastic and hardened properties. He explains that the next phase of the study involves collecting a large number of mix designs to determine what makes a mix successful with PLC. Mike encourages contractors to submit their successful mix designs to help gather more data. Takeaways • The survey conducted by ASCC and ACI on Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) revealed increased water demand and set times, as well as changes in plastic and hardened properties. • The next phase of the study involves collecting a large number of mix designs to determine what makes a mix successful with PLC. • Contractors are encouraged to submit their successful mix designs to help gather more data and understand the factors that contribute to successful PLC mixes. • PLC presents new challenges for contractors, and proper preparation, testing, and curing are crucial to achieving desired results.

In 1799 two Royal Navy ships met on the Caribbean Sea, and their captains discovered they were parties to a mind-boggling coincidence that would expose a crime and make headlines around the world. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the shark papers, one of the strangest coincidences in maritime history. We'll also meet some Victorian kangaroos and puzzle over an expedient fire. Intro: Hungarian composer György Ligeti wrote a symphonic poem for 100 metronomes.
