Timestamp to skip straight to the case: (9:52) TW - suicide. Ellen was found dead in her apartment in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, including some to her back and neck. Ellen's death was ruled a suicide and many people have argued that this ruling was incorrect. How could someone stab themselves multiple times in the back? Ellen's parents have fought for years to have her case re-examined and their petition was granted this year. Another medical examiner reviewed the reports and information available, and again, ruled that Ellen's death was a suicide. In this episode, we run through the new updates (including newly discovered wounds on Ellen's body). Was Ellen murdered or was her death truly suicide? Be sure to check the timestamp to get straight to the case.

Air Date 12/30/2025 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on recent news without being overwhelming! This month we start with the infrastructure of imperial violence—from Dick Cheney's legacy to the arms race to Sudan's genocide. Then we expose how power exploits ordinary people through predation and financialized desperation. But here's the thing: resistance is working and the facade is crumbling. From courtroom wins to Mamdani's victory to young Republicans fleeing and conspiracies consuming the right, we end on the insight that authoritarian control is far more fragile than it pretends.

Air Date 12/26/2025 Authoritarian governments are always very focused on making it look like they have everything on absolute lock down. Everyone in lockstep, everything proceeding according to plan. But they do this for propaganda purposes, not because it has anything to do with reality. In fact, the opposite is always true. All of which is to say that conservatives are not in chaos because Trump is particularly chaotic, though he is. They're in chaos because that is the natural result of attempting to enforce monolithic thinking and ideological conformity. Be part of the show!

Pools don't fail just from age or weather; they fail when chemistry, circulation, and surface type don't match. We dig into the real-world differences between vinyl, fiberglass, plaster, and pebble finishes, showing how each material changes your approach to water balance, sanitizer levels, and maintenance. From ground prep that keeps nutgrass from piercing vinyl to the warranty risks of using trichlor tablets with fiberglass, we share the practical moves that help surfaces last and water stay clear.We talk through why vinyl and fiberglass often hold pH more steadily than plaster, and how colored plaster's mottling can be an installation issue, not a chemistry fix. For pebble and exposed aggregate pools, we explain why texture invites calcium scale and algae, how diamond polishing reduces crevices, and why circulation time and brushing frequency matter more than quick, short filter cycles. If your above‑ground kit shipped with a tiny filter, a weak pump, and no timer, you'll learn why upgrading equipment is the fastest path to clarity and chemical efficiency.Our central takeaway: set free chlorine based on cyanuric acid, not a fixed chart. Aiming at 7.5 percent of CYA offers reliable algae control even in high‑stabilizer water, and adding borates to 50 ppm makes it harder for algae to start in the first place. Pair this with thoughtful calcium targets—lower for vinyl and fiberglass, higher for plaster—plus consistent pH control and solid circulation, and you'll prevent stains, scale, and blooms before they begin. • Prep and support for vinyl liners, including nutgrass control• Why acid damages vinyl color and trichlor tablets stain fiberglass• How vinyl and fiberglass differ from plaster in pH and alkalinity behavior• Target calcium levels: lower for vinyl and fiberglass, higher for plaster• Undersized equipment in above‑ground kits and smart upgrades• Pebble challenges with calcium and algae and how polishing helps• Circulation time, brushing and robotic cleaners to stop footholds• Chlorine as 7.5 percent of Send us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Who are you when the pressure hits hardest?In this episode, Cole and Dante peel back the layers and step into one of the most uncomfortable—and necessary—conversations we all face: identity. Not the version we post online, not the titles we cling to, but the person we are when everything else gets stripped away.From the tension between titles vs truth to the quiet battles of imposter syndrome, the guys explore what happens when growth outpaces self-image and the voice in your head isn't always your own. They dive into masculinity, vulnerability, and the challenge of showing emotional depth in a world that rewards performance over honesty.They also unpack the weight of community expectations—how easy it is to lose yourself trying to be who everyone else needs you to be—and share personal stories of reinvention after failure, loss, or major life shifts.This episode asks the questions most people avoid: What part of your identity cracks first under pressure? And who are you when no one's watching?Stick around for the listener challenge at the end—ten minutes that might change the way you see yourself.
Fresh plaster only gets one chance to cure right, and most problems start before the first cannonball. We dive straight into the real-world startup decisions that determine whether your pool finishes smooth and stain‑free or inherits permanent issues. With veteran insights from chemical expert Bob Lowry, we compare the big methods—barrel, traditional, and acid—and map clear rules of thumb for when each one makes sense based on source water and surface type.We get practical fast: test the fill water before you open the hose, set calcium to at least 150 ppm on day one, and decide how to handle metals the smart way. You'll hear why hose‑end pre‑filters beat sequestering agents, how to use skimmer removal media effectively, and why sequestering alone fails as it breaks down under sunlight and chlorine. We also unpack the plaster dust problem, showing how a slightly low pH keeps dust soluble without risking surface burn, and why cartridges outperform sand when you need to capture fines.New plaster is fragile, so we outline the non‑negotiables: never stop the initial fill, protect the surface from hose damage, keep wheels and robots off for weeks, and keep pets and people out until balance stabilizes. Whether you're a service pro scaling up or a homeowner protecting a six‑figure investment, this guide gives you the steps, targets, and tools to start clean and stay clean. If this helped you sharpen your startup playbook, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more pool owners and pros can find it.• why startups shape the life of the surface• barrel vs traditional vs acid methods and where each fits• testing fill water for calcium, alkalinity, copper and iron• hitting 150 ppm calcium on day one for balance• removing metals with pre‑filters and skimmer media• limits of sequestering agents and why they degrade• managing plaster dust with controlled pH and filtration• new plaster cautions: continuous fill, no wheels, no pets• recovery steps when builders skip startup• rSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this episode of the Golf Beneath the Surface podcast, Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper reflect on the past year and the topics that resonated most with listeners.They break down confidence in golf, why it's often tied to outcomes, how trying too hard creates anxiety, and the common mistakes players at every level make with practice, ego, and trust. The conversation touches on unmeasurable skills, adaptability under pressure, hypnosis as a tool for regulating anxiety, and the subtle mental habits that separate consistent players from streaky ones. Enjoy!
In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, Casey opens up a raw coaching call with people who aren't fractional CMOs yet—but want to be. These are agency owners tired of the hamster wheel, strategists stuck doing execution, and full-time employees wondering if this fractional thing is actually real. Casey coaches through real deals happening this week: Eric transitioning from agency to targeting private equity exits, Roxy discovering clients keep telling her she's a "really strong strategist" but she's drowning in execution, Paul pitching a $30M company, and Ernesto trying to find IVF clinic owners who want marketing leadership instead of just need it. The conversation cuts through the noise—stop pitching, stop discounting, start having curious conversations that make fractional CMO services the obvious solution. Key Topics Covered: -The 3-5 client rule: Three is ideal—more clients means mixing up names like dating multiple people at once -Financial structure: Client pays your fee directly (~$9,700 of $10K), then separately pays for the team you build -Luxury pricing: They should say "that makes sense" not "can you discount?" -Warm outreach: Share your shift, ask "who should I meet?" not "will you hire me?" -The exit conversation: Surface if they're selling in 2 years—they won't tell their team but they'll tell you -Never pitch, discover: Ask questions until fractional CMO is obvious, then "what questions do you have?" -Agency owners can transition without shutting down—fractional work is separate -Discounting kills relationships: Clients who negotiate once nickel-and-dime forever -Find people who want to grow: Show them you're the bridge—they don't need to know fractional CMO exists yet
La inteligencia artificial no solo vive en asistentes virtuales, aplicaciones visibles o herramientas de productividad. Existe una IA que opera fuera del foco público, integrada en sistemas opacos, procesos automatizados y decisiones que afectan a personas reales sin que estas lo sepan. En este episodio analizamos la cara menos visible de la inteligencia artificial: cómo los algoritmos pueden perfilar, influir, clasificar o decidir sin transparencia, sin explicación comprensible y sin responsabilidad clara. A través de una investigación estructurada en tres capas, Surface Web, Deep Web y Dark Web, se exponen casos reales y usos documentados de IA que ya están ocurriendo hoy: Suplantaciones mediante voz y rostro sintético, decisiones algorítmicas sin derecho a réplica, manipulación emocional automatizada, desinformación optimizada por modelos de IA, y sistemas que priorizan eficacia sobre ética. Este episodio no demoniza la tecnología. Cuestiona el uso irresponsable del poder algorítmico y la normalización del silencio cuando la IA empieza a sustituir el criterio humano. No es un contenido para tranquilizar. Es un contenido para pensar, comprender y decidir con conciencia. 🎙️ Investigación y análisis por Sergio Ruiz (SRIA) 📌 Enfoque crítico, ético y sin filtros 📌 Tecnología, sociedad y responsabilidad humana

Most people think moisture problems in concrete come from below the slab. Concrete Bob Higgins explains why that assumption keeps blowing up floors.In this episode, Bob Higgins breaks down how moisture actually moves through concrete, why liquid water and water vapor are not the same thing, and how alkalinity quietly does more damage than most people realize. We also get into why common moisture testing methods are misused, why surface damage matters more than deep readings, and how outdated standards keep throwing contractors under the bus.If you've ever wondered why floors fail even when the numbers “look fine,” this one connects the dots.What You'll Learn· Why moisture in concrete is not just “moisture”· The difference between liquid water, water vapor, and chemically bound moisture· Why relative humidity testing is often misunderstood — and misapplied· How alkalinity concentrates at the surface and drives real damage· Why many moisture problems come from the top, not the soil· What self-desiccation is and why you can't fix it once it happens· How material changes in cement quietly broke old assumptions· Why contractors keep getting blamed for problems they didn't cause Chapters00:00 – Why Moisture in Concrete Is Misunderstood 01:15 – The Different Forms of Moisture That Matter 03:30 – Why the Center of Concrete Often Doesn't Dry 06:40 – The Problem With RH Probes and Surface Damage 10:30 – Why Cement Chemistry Changed the Rules 12:30 – What Alkalinity Really Is (and Why pH Misses the Point) 15:45 – Why New Cements Can Self-Desiccate 18:45 – Irreversible Damage From Heat and Chemistry 21:45 – Vapor Barriers, Curling, and Old Assumptions 24:30 – Why Most Moisture Comes From the Surface 28:45 – The Stack Effect Explained 31:30 – Why RH Numbers Don't Match Real Failures 35:45 – What Needs to Change Going Forward 39:20 – Final ThoughtsGuest InfoName: Bob Higgins Email: rcconsulting.higgins@gmail.com Webpage: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/guests/robert-higgins/Intelligent ConcreteConcrete not behaving the way it should?At Intelligent Concrete, Dr. Jon Belkowitz and his team combine lab-level testing with real-world field experience to get to the root of performance issues, not just the symptoms.If you want data you can trust and answers you can use, learn more at https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/intelligent-concreteConcrete Logic AcademyEarn PDHs in the same straight-talk format as the podcast:https://www.concretelogicacademy.comSupport the PodcastSupport the show directly:https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/donateKUIU helps support the podcast:https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/kuiuMedia, sponsorship, or content inquiries:seth@concretelogicpodcast.comCreditsProducer: Frank Stankunas, Jodi Tandett & Concrete Logic Media Music by Mike Dunton: https://www.mdunton.com/Where to Find SethSeth Tandett — concrete nerd and host of the Concrete Logic Podcast.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seth-tandett/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@concretelogicpodcast Podcast Website: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com

What happens when high-achieving women finally pause long enough to ask why they are so exhausted? In this candid and deeply reflective conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe is joined by Anne Peterson, leadership coach and retreat facilitator, and Dr. Robyn Alley-Hay, retired OB/GYN and physician development coach, to redefine what self-care truly means for women who carry responsibility, ambition, and care for others every day. Drawing from their professional work and lived experience with burnout, illness, and reinvention, Anne and Robyn explore self-care as an act of sovereignty rather than indulgence. They unpack why women's exhaustion is not a personal failing but the result of systemic expectations, invisible emotional labor, and a culture that undervalues care. The conversation moves beyond surface-level wellness to address boundaries, rest, community, emotional awareness, and financial clarity as essential components of sustainable well-being.

The controversy around the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning centers on how the series obtained intimate and previously unseen footage of Sean “Diddy” Combs, including video of him talking on the phone with his lawyer in a New York hotel room days before his September 2024 arrest. Netflix and the filmmakers maintain that the footage was acquired legally and with the necessary rights, and they have repeatedly stated that the material was obtained through proper channels. Executive producer 50 Cent and director Alexandria Stapleton have both defended the documentary's sourcing while keeping the identity of the original provider confidential, arguing that they secured legal access to the recordings that show Combs grappling with his legal strategy and personal reality.However, Combs' camp has vehemently contested that account, calling the film a “shameful hit piece” built on “stolen footage” that was never authorized for release. His spokesperson and legal team allege that the video was created for a different, unfinished project Combs had arranged and that no rights were ever transferred to Netflix or 50 Cent's team. A former videographer associated with Combs has claimed that the controversial clips were released by a third-party freelancer who filled in briefly and not by anyone authorized to handle Combs' materials, calling such use unethical. This dispute has raised broader questions about media ethics, ownership of private recordings, and the boundaries of documentary filmmaking when dealing with high-profile subjects and sensitive legal matters.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mystery Of “Stolen” Sean Combs Footage In Netflix Documentary ExplainedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
On November 7, Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California, the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum, will host The Asian American Foundation's (TAAF) first-ever AAPI Youth Mental Health Summit. Under the theme “Sparking Solutions Together,” the summit will convene hundreds of experts, advocates, funders, and business executives to address the urgent and often overlooked mental health challenges facing Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth. From 2018 through 2022, suicide was the leading cause of death among Asian Americans aged 15–24, and the second leading cause of death among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Yet despite being deeply impacted by the nation's mental health crisis, AAPI youth remain largely invisible in the national mental health conversation, and the data needed to understand their mental health is scarce at best. To fill the gap, TAAF released "Beyond the Surface" in December 2024, the most comprehensive study to date on AAPI youth mental health, which revealed: Nearly 1 in 2 AAPI youth screen positive for moderate depression; 1 in 3 have planned or attempted suicide; Stigma, family pressure, and silence keep many from seeking help; Only 53 percent feel comfortable talking with their parents; Just 1 in 4 have accessed formal care; and 46 percent have never seen a mental health provider. Building on these findings, the November 7 summit will bring together leading experts to spark dialogue on breaking stigma, closing gaps in care, and exploring how community partners and technology are reshaping the ways young people seek and receive support. Join us online to hear from: Midori Francis, Actor, "Grey's Anatomy" Ryan Alexander Holmes Owin Pierson, Creator and Mental Health Advocate Lisa Ling, Journalist Noopur Agarwal, VP of Social Impact, MTV Norman Chen, CEO, The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) Philip Yun, Co-President and Co-CEO, Commonwealth Club World Affairs Rushika Fernandopulle, MD, Practicing Physician; Co-Founder and Former CEO, Iora Health; TAAF Board Member Juliana Chen, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Cartwheel Perry Chen,Director of Programs and Partnerships, Behavioral Health at Blue Shield of California Rachel Miller, Founder & CEO, Closegap Meena Srinivasan, Founding Executive Director, Transformative Educational Leadership Ayesha Meer, Executive Director, Asian Mental Health Collective Henry Ha, Program Director, Community Youth Center of San Francisco Anne Saw, PhD, HOPE Program Reid Bowman, MPH, CHES, Outreach & Program Manager, UCA Waves Rupesh Shah, COO of Crisis Text Line Tone Va'i, LCSW, Clinician, Samoan Community Development Center Amy Grace Lam, PhD, Chief Program Strategist, Korean Community Center of East Bay Christine Yang, ASW, Korean Community Center of East Bay Christina Yu, LCSW, Clinical Supervisor, Korean Community Center of East Bay William Tsai, PhD, Associate Professor, New York University Cindy H.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: Just a question to ponder about the future of our favorite material. As old buildings get torn down there seems to a great supply of reclaimed lumber for our current generation. But as we know this is a finite resource. So with that said will the next generation be turning to our generation's slab furniture for their reclaimed lumber? Doug Hey! Sorry if this has already been addressed in a previous episode. I'm in upstate NY, and I have a full wood shop detached from my house. The woodshop is insulated, but the temperature changes outside are pretty much the max, 100 degrees in the summer, and it will live at 20 degrees in the winter. In the winter, should I keep materials I'm working on in my house, bring them out to the shop when I'm cutting, and then bring them back in? It seems excessive, but it's really huge temperature changes. I'm mostly dealing with walnut. Is the temperature the bigger issue, or is it really humidity? I could maybe install a heat pump, just yah know it's a lot of energy. If I went that route, do you have a recommendation for a temp I should keep materials at? Thanks again for making such a great show -Mohamed Guys Questions: Hello and thank you for the wonderful podcast. I was hoping for some insights on builds for high moisture environments. My fiancé and I just moved into our first house and need to update the bathroom vanity. Rather than spend hundreds of dollars on a a shoddy big-box-store model, I would like to take a crack at building one myself. I have enough experience with woodworking and building cabinets that I feel confident with the actual construction, but am concerned about the high moisture environment. I plan on making a carcass out of prefinished plywood with face frames and drawer fronts out of a yet-to-be-determined species (likely red oak). What advice and considerations do you all have for these high moisture environments? Do I need to use special finishes or some sort of sealant for the hardwood components? Do I need to worry about sealing or finishing the edges of the plywood even though the faces are prefinished? Do I need any special considerations for moisture or even mold build up between the face frame and plywood carcass? Any and all advice on this is greatly appreciated Thanks as always! Andrew Hey Guys, I love your show. Hearing 3 sets of opinions with different levels of experience really helps me learn. I've heard so many different approaches to sanding that I'm coming to the experts for guidance. To what grit do you sand to for Oak, Walnut, Maple, and cherry. Do you think a planned or card scraped surface is better than a sanded surface? Does it take the finish just as well? Thanks for all you do! Ezra Huys Questions: Another question... I recently had a small tornado that took the roof off of my shop. As a result, all of my tools got wet and the power tools - table saw, jointer, band saw, drill press etc - all got wet and rusted. They've been in storage since March of this year. I have new shop being built and hope to have it done by the end of this month. What suggestions do y'all have in terms of getting the rust off of the tools and checking for any other possible water damage? Thanks. Ron Brewer I'm making a walnut bench that I want to route headboard sides (legs) on and I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm not sure if a straight edge/track with a router and at pointed round over bit would be the best route or if I should do it on the router table. I plan on using a 3/8” or 1/2” radius point cutting round over bit for the beading. The end two end panels are 16”x18” and 1.5” thick. I have a festool 1400 router and an Incra router table as possible options. Also, once I get these panels made what's the best way to sand the beads since they come down to a tight point in the middle. Sanding seems like it would be a huge pain and not sure if the router bit would leave a good enough finish to apply finish without prep work. Thanks, Chayse
With Mike Levy out, tech editors Alvin Holbrook and Josh Ross take over the Velo podcast to unpack some of the biggest stories in cycling right now, including one bike that calls itself the lightest bike in the world, and another that calls itself the fastest in the world. Big day. Of course, we had to start with the news. Specialized just busted $1.5 million worth of counterfeit gear with help from AliExpress and the Chinese police. So why now? And what does this bust mean for cycling gear? Spoiler: probably not much. Campagnolo is in a bit of a financial crisis, reportedly having laid off 40 percent of its workforce and lost 24 million euros over the last few years. There is hope yet, though. We discuss why. Then it's time for bike reviews. Josh breaks down the XDS X-Lab RT-9, the lightest disc brake road bike you can buy, at just 550 grams. It's a super light frame with some spec quirks, and nearly impossible to find in the US. Finally, we discuss the Factor One review, a bike that makes some heady claims and has the performance to back it up. But the aero shaping isn't the most interesting part of the bike: it's the geometry. Further reading: -We Rode the ‘Fastest UCI-Legal Bike Ever Made.' The Best Part of the Bike Is Hiding Under the Surface. -The World's Lightest Production Bike Is an Engineering Marvel At a Discount Price -Specialized Seizes $1.6M in Fake Tarmac Frames and Roval Wheels – With AliExpress's Help -Campagnolo Lays Off 40% of Staff After €24 Million Losses 00:00 Intro 1:23 Specialized's counterfeit bust 8:36 Campagnolo responds to reports of layoffs 25:03 Riding the XDS X-Lab RT9 44:09 Riding the Factor One
In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, Karen McMahon sits down with divorce attorney Andrea Vacca, Esq. to explore the unique pressures of the holiday season when you're considering divorce. This is the stage where uncertainty weighs heavily, information is still being gathered, and you may not be ready—or safe—to share your plans with anyone. Family gatherings, traditions, and expectations continue around you, even as you quietly wonder what the new year will bring. Karen and Andrea bring compassionate clarity to this "secret season," discussing how to stay grounded, make strategic decisions, and approach the holidays with intention rather than panic. They dive into the five common fears that surface during this time: the fear of not holding it together in front of family, making the wrong decision under holiday pressure, being discovered before you're ready, facing financial fallout in the new year, and feeling responsible for disrupting your children's sense of family or holiday joy. Through their conversation, you'll learn how to navigate family events without revealing too much, maintain your boundaries when emotions run high, and distinguish between reacting emotionally and preparing strategically. Karen and Andrea also discuss how to gather information safely and privately during the holiday season and how to use quiet moments and year-end reflection to get grounded. They explain why January is often the month of decisions and how to enter it with confidence and clarity. The episode naturally leads into Andrea's Pre-Divorce Guidance Package, offering legal clarity alongside emotional and strategic support so that listeners can move into the new year equipped, confident, and prepared to make informed choices about their future. This conversation is essential listening for anyone navigating the complexities of divorce while managing the emotional and practical pressures of the holiday season.

Interview with Allan Ritchie, Executive Chairman & CEO and David Ward, Managing Director of Adavale ResourcesRecording date: 9th December 2025Adavale Resources Limited (ASX: ADD) has emerged as a compelling Australian gold story, having transformed a A$900,000 acquisition into a 115,000-ounce JORC resource at the London-Victoria project in just nine months. The former BHP gold mine in New South Wales' prolific Lachlan Fold Belt is now the focus of an aggressive exploration and development program led by a management team with significant skin in the game.Executive Chairman Allan Ritchie and newly appointed Managing Director David Ward have structured the company to maximize shareholder alignment. All four directors collectively own over 5% of Adavale and take their remuneration exclusively in shares rather than cash, ensuring minimal corporate overhead. This approach is backed by cornerstone investor Gleneden, who holds 20% of the company and brings decades of resources sector expertise.The technical progress at London-Victoria has been impressive. Phase 1 drilling delivered standout results including 48 meters at 0.82 grams per ton gold, with high-grade zones of 25 meters at 1.2 g/t located 100 meters below the existing pit. Significantly, this intercept occurred outside the current resource envelope, indicating substantial expansion potential. Ward's historical knowledge of the site—having worked for the previous operator—combined with the recent discovery of hundreds of historic BHP grade control maps, is accelerating targeting accuracy.The company employs a dual-strategy approach: advancing London-Victoria toward near-term production through tolling agreements with nearby Alkane Resources' Tomingley facility (50km away), while systematically exploring five greenfields licenses for epithermal and porphyry discoveries. Surface samples at the Ashes prospect have returned up to 10 grams per ton gold, demonstrating early-stage promise.With Phase 2 drilling currently underway at a cost-effective A$350,000 for 13-14 holes, Adavale is executing a capital-efficient program that maintains multiple pathways to value creation in a favorable gold price environment exceeding A$4,000 per ounce.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/adavale-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Today, we note that the recent divergences we have highlighted have almost begun to hyperextend, as small caps, transports and other sectors had a banner day even as Mag7 and Tech were decidedly meh. Elsewhere, FX is heating up as the US dollar is breaking down and sterling is breaking up, among other developments. This, a bit of throwing shade on the concept of "dry powder" and much more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. One interesting link discussed on today's pod was on Japan's new Tagei submarine class - and its revolutionary battery-driven tech. There is no John J.

This Giving Tuesday, we've put together some favorite stories into a special bonus episode! Please enjoy, and don't forget to head to loe.org and click on Donate at the top of the page. Thank you so much for helping Living on Earth keep going strong. In this bonus episode you'll hear: Author and naturalist Sy Montgomery has trekked across the world to write about pink dolphins in the Amazon and tigers in Asia. But for her book, What the Chicken Knows: A New Appreciation of the World's Most Familiar Bird, she stayed right in her own New Hampshire backyard. Sy joins us to talk about the social intelligence of chickens, how to handle a feisty rooster and much more. Also, using the Earth's heat as an anchor for heat pumps yields virtually carbon-free energy. Surface geothermal energy drills down 500 meters or less and taps into the relatively constant temperature of the close to-the-surface earth, which sits around 55 degrees. The process is more efficient than air-coupled heat pumps, providing new hope for combatting the climate crisis. And physical disabilities can make getting outside more challenging, but adaptive devices and accessible trails can transform lives. Producer El Wilson, who has cerebral palsy, and producer Jenni Doering test an offroad wheelchair and meet a woman who has been able to reclaim the joy and freedom of hiking since becoming disabled.

The conversation tackles a common misconception that inverter-driven equipment automatically handles humidity well simply because it can "turn down." Roman emphasizes that successful application of VRF technology in humid environments requires skilled professionals who understand building science, envelope integrity, and proper system sizing. The biggest takeaway? If you're going to err on sizing, undersize rather than oversize - these systems will run longer and maintain better humidity control when properly sized. The hosts explore the three critical factors for dehumidification: runtime, coil temperature, and surface condensation. They explain how traditional inverter systems were programmed for energy efficiency by allowing coils to warm up as they approached the set point, which unfortunately sacrifices latent capacity. Modern systems with active dehumidification capabilities use expansion valve control to "starve" the coil, lowering saturation temperature to around 35-37 degrees while extending runtime. Roman shares his personal experience with a 7,000 BTU unit serving his 700 square foot master bedroom suite, demonstrating how proper application and understanding of equipment capabilities can deliver excellent humidity control without oversizing. The discussion takes a practical turn as Bryan presents a comprehensive troubleshooting checklist for humidity problems, starting with bulk water leaks and progressing through envelope integrity, duct sealing, equipment selection, and pressure balancing. They debunk common "solutions" that actually make problems worse, like adding attic insulation or solar attic fans without addressing root causes. The conversation reveals a counterintuitive truth: reducing sensible load through excessive insulation can worsen humidity problems by reducing equipment runtime. They explain why "active dehumidification" through overcooling isn't true dehumidification, and why another solution - reheat - requires adding sensible heat back to spaces to maintain longer equipment runtime.
