Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday…there's a lot going on and Christmas isn't even here yet! The Twins had plans to spend Thanksgiving together, but some unexpected events created opportunities for Nikki and Brie to celebrate the holiday in new ways. Then the sisters turned their attention to taking advantage of big deals on Black Friday and getting the most bang for their buck, but it's a Tale of Two Sisters because one of them did all of her shopping online while the other took to the streets and covered all of her Christmas bases in person.  Upon Birdie & Buddy's request, Brie has brought an Elf on the Shelf into her house. But it's not something that Nikki's prepared to do for Matteo just yet. Matteo is turning into quite the artist and his latest muse is Charlie Brown, Nikki will explain.  During the break, Brie took the kids to see Wicked and can't stop talking about it; Nikki wonders if she will miss out on a huge cultural touchstone involving flying monkeys and incredible songs. Brie also discovered a new way to keep Birdie and Buddy from trying to steal her snacks at the movies. Is this a method that could also work for you the next time you're at the theater? Then Nikki & Brie map out what they want for the rest of their 2024. There's one month left, which means you can still end the year as you wish. One is intent on not trying to overdo it this holiday season, the other is looking forward to creating balance and laying the groundwork for a better 2025.  Nikki closes the episode out with TWO choices for Inspiration & Affirmation.

What’s Trending: Surprisingly, Sea-Tac airport was not very chaotic during Thanksgiving weekend. The mainstream media is doing its best to give cover to Joe Biden for his pardon of his son, but even some on the Left are calling Biden out. King County Metro is starting a new pilot program aimed at cracking down on people that illegally use the bus-only lane. // Big Local: A Tacoma business that was affected by a summer power outage was bouncing back on Small Business Saturday. Bellevue police is increasing its presence around major shopping areas to deter crime during the holiday season. A driver accidentally smashed into the side of a restaurant in Bellevue. An animal shelter in Monroe is stepping up to help special needs animals. // A ‘Wicked’ actress is firing back after people online made ‘very gross’ comments about her disability.  

On Tuesday's show: Everyone wants our money right now. Black Friday gives way to Small Business Saturday, which gives way to Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday. Barbara Stewart from the University of Houston joins us to examine how those major events in the retail calendar went this year and how Americans' shopping habits are changing of late.Also this hour: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) provided $1.9 trillion in stimulus for the nation as we tried to dig out from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among those funds were billions of dollars that assisted municipal governments, colleges and universities, health systems, and other entities. Now that those funds are coming to an end, how will Greater Houston feel the effects? And how might other sources of funding fill in the gap?Then, sex and intimacy are not always easy subjects to talk about. But Emily Jamea happened to grow up in a home where it wasn't taboo and now works as a sex and relationship therapist here in Houston. She talks about that work and her book, Anatomy of Desire.And, ahead of a performance in Houston next week, we revisit a conversation with musician Ben Folds about bringing piano to the Grunge era in the 90s and working with orchestras today.

“Learning how to learn is essential. “- Steve Russell  In this week's episode of the Scaling UP! H2O Podcast, we're excited to share a deep dive into the complex world of carbon capture and water treatment with Steve Russell, Senior Process Engineer at Kiewit. Host Trace Blackmore and Steve explore the challenges of treating wastewater in carbon capture facilities, including the need for innovative approaches to meet environmental and operational standards.  Navigating Carbon Capture: A Process Engineer's Perspective  Carbon capture is a hot topic in today's industrial landscape, and Steve's expertise provides critical insights for water professionals. As Steve explains, “Carbon capture isn't just about removing CO₂—it's about managing the water and wastewater byproducts effectively.”   Steve's work with Kiewit involves finding solutions to treat the various wastewater streams generated during the carbon capture process. His experience illustrates the importance of understanding each facility's unique needs and tailoring water treatment strategies accordingly.    Key Insights from Steve's Work:   Understanding Wastewater Composition: Each facility produces different wastewater streams, largely dependent on fuel type and system design.   Working Across Teams: Effective carbon capture requires collaboration between water treatment engineers, mechanical engineers, and project managers.   Navigating Resource Limitations: Steve shares how he adapts his knowledge to treat complex wastewater streams when resources and data are limited.  Flexibility and Teamwork   Throughout his career, Steve has learned that flexibility and teamwork are crucial in tackling complex projects. Working closely with teams across various disciplines allows Steve to develop comprehensive solutions tailored to each project's specific requirements.  Top Takeaways:  Be Prepared to Adapt: Each project brings its own set of challenges, from wastewater quality variations to resource limitations.  Understand the Full System: Gaining a broader understanding of the carbon capture process can help anticipate potential issues and refine water treatment strategies.  Leverage Internal and External Knowledge: Steve emphasizes the value of tapping into team expertise and utilizing available resources for innovative solutions.  Building a Career in Water Treatment Field  With over two decades in water treatment, Steve shares his career advice for those just starting out or looking to advance. “Learning how to learn is essential,” he reflects. Steve encourages water professionals to build a foundation of flexibility and continuous learning, as the industry constantly evolves with new technologies and environmental demands.  Steve's Advice for Water Professionals:  Be Flexible and Organized: Expect the unexpected and keep a well-organized knowledge base to quickly adapt to project needs.  Build a Support Network: Collaboration and open dialogue with colleagues can accelerate problem-solving and professional growth.  Focus on Continuous Learning: Water professionals should embrace learning opportunities within and beyond their primary field.  Final Thoughts: Flexibility and Continuous Learning  Steve's experience reminds us that flexibility and a commitment to learning how to learn are essential in water treatment. Each project is unique and staying adaptable and open to new knowledge is key to navigating complex industry challenges successfully.  By embracing continuous learning, we drive impactful solutions for sustainability in our field. Tune in Today!  Listen to this enlightening conversation by playing the episode above or visiting ScalingUpH2O.com/396 to tune in.

We're pondering ppm or parts per million. This can be a hard concept to grasp at times, so I find analogies to be very helpful to understand this expression of concentration. One minute in 2 years is a part per million. One inch in 16 miles is a part per million. 1 drop in 10 gallons is as well. One milligram in a Liter is 1 part per million, assuming the specific gravity of the liquid is 1, of course. One millimeter in a kilometer is one part per million. Did you know that 1 pound of ANYTHING dissolved in 1,000 gallons of water will give you 120 ppm? A 1% solution, based upon weight, is a 10,000-ppm solution. There are many more analogies out there of course. Find the one that resonates the best with you!   Events for Water Professionals  Check out our Scaling UP!
