Send us a Text Message.In this episode, Rebecca Squared & Amanda the new kid continue the coversation with Stormwater Super Heros - Giants of municipal water protection activities; South Portland's Stormwater Coordinator Fred Dillon and Portland's Stormwater Coordinator Doug Roncarati and their state level partner Maine Department of Environmental Protection Stormwater Engineer Cody Obropta to tackle issues around development pressures. Does regulation make development harder or does regulation and planning make development cheaper on the community in the long run? Get the one the ground facts from the front lines and learn about the theory of low impact development versus use of green infrastructure and why those buzzwords are coming to an ordinance near you soon. Ever wondered about the intricate dance between stormwater law and water quality standards? Using the Long Creek Watershed as our case study, we delve into the stringent mandates of MS4 permits and the herculean efforts required to restore urban impaired stream habitats. Our discussion extends to the significance of maintaining viable aquatic ecosystems and a closer look at the progressively stricter requirements every five years. You'll gain insights into the benefits of educating service contractors, the impact of clearer statewide standards, and the promising potential of green infrastructure projects.Lastly, explore the innovative ways Portland's stormwater utility credit program incentivizes redevelopment while addressing pollutant-specific approaches for stormwater management. We highlight how these strategies benefit developers and the broader implications of climate change on future MS4 communities. Tune in to hear about Maine's unique phosphorus control strategies in lake watersheds and the persistent challenges posed by historical land use and climate change. Wrapping up, we stress the importance of expert consultation and community involvement, all while celebrating the camaraderie and shared humor of those dedicated to tackling these complex environmental issues."Urbanized and developed municipalities and other large public entities require Clean Water Act permits to send stormwater to nearby water bodies due to an increased likelihood of stormwater pollutants."  "Stormwater is precipitation that does not soak into the ground. Runoff accumulates in large quantities as it flows off of rooftops, driveways, roads and other impervious surfaces, picking up soil and polluting chemicals in its wake. It then flows into a storm drain, through an underground network of pipes, where it discharges into local rivers and streams, untreated."  Think Blue Maine https://thinkbluemaine.org/ Map of urban impaired streams: https://maine.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=7f8f40a744ad49f3a6cccc7f1330872a Non-Point Source Training Center -

Why should you care about stormwater? What is a MS4 regulated community? Why do people pick up their dog poo and put it in a bag only to dump it on the trail or in the storm drain? What is a harbor trout? In this episode, Rebecca Squared & Amanda the new kid talk with Stormwater Super Heros - Giants of municipal water protection activities; South Portland's Stormwater Coordinator Fred Dillon and Portland's Stormwater Coordinator Doug Roncarati and their state level partner Maine Department of Environmental Protection Stormwater Engineer Cody Obropta to tackle these questions and a whole lot more! This episode is part 1 of a two part series. Fred, Doug and Cody share how they became stormwater rangers, what it's important and a small bit of the challenges communities in Maine face with old infrastructure and dense development. "Urbanized and developed municipalities and other large public entities require Clean Water Act permits to send stormwater to nearby water bodies due to an increased likelihood of stormwater pollutants.""Stormwater is precipitation that does not soak into the ground.

My guest joining me today is Michael C Place, founder and Creative Director of Studio Build. Studio Build is an award-winning creative agency with an international reputation for creating strong visual narratives. Michael has worked with Nike, Made, The Stow Brothers and Generation Press, amongst others. I first met Micheal at an ‘twitter meet up' in Shoreditch London probably back in 2015? It was the first time we had met, and found out that we both really like Duval, which is probably one of the best beers and beer logos out there. He's worked with many talented clients such as Gary Hustwit who directed such great creative films from Objectified, Urbanized and Helvetica to name a few.

Rachael and the Upbeats are producing fantastic International songs, rising fast and very catchy, summer, upbeat tunes, rock, hip hop, jazz, trance, and lots more, check them out !   Mike Di Lorenzo has explored everything from R&B and Jazz to Latin and Gospel and everything in between, backing up and recording with a wide range of artists in the New York area. In addition to his love for jazz, Mike has performed with a wide range of artists including Whitney Houston, Cissy Houston and the grammy-award winning NJ Mass Choir, Gerald Alston, Regina Belle to Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, to name a few. He has performed with both the North Carolina and Delaware Symphonies and has appeared at NYC legendary landmarks including Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Blue Note and the Apollo Theater. Mike's fist cd "Urbanized" debuted in 2006 was very well received in the smooth jazz market and featured on CD101.9 NY and later on syndication across the country. Many selections were  heard on the 2-time Emmy Awarded Daytime Reality Show "Starting Over".  2011 featured Mike's 2nd cd "Bring It Back" which aired internationally and climbed up JazzWeek's Smooth Album Chart at #12 and Smooth Singles Chart at #9 with his version of "Can't Hide Love".​

JASHIVO This show is being brought to you by www.gubbarum.com Jashivo is a singer, songwriter, producer, and artist. Growing up in Bulgaria, he learned to play piano, and started singing later, during his stay in Kyrgyzstan. ‘Cancelled World' is another excellent collaboration of Jashivo and Felix Kotlo. Stunning and catchy, slightly reminiscent of disco from the 80's. ‘Cancelled World' is driven by excellent musical composition and crystal-clear and resonating vocals. Light, warm and easy on the ear. This song is about ‘cancel culture', which promotes public shaming when people and brands are spurned due to their comments, actions or stances that some perceive to be wrong. Anonymous and fuelled by a pack mentality, and intensely polarising, the supporters of cancelled culture believe that if someone does something wrong, or champions someone or something that we may not like or agree with, then we must stop supporting them immediately. No grey areas allowed.

This musical duo is on a mission: To make music that raises the vibrations of the listeners and elevates your mood. After a successful release of their debut album, The Arrival, where all 9 songs looped on radio, in lounges, hotels and clubs etc, this success has motivated them to continue with their journey, because making music is what Moon and Aries were born to do. And their love for retro and futuristic ideas was infused with synthesizers and nostalgic melodies, creating an album that takes you in and out of time.  As they move forward in their musical adventure, Moon and Aries have opened up their sound to really encapsulate their self proclaimed genre "Synth Pop Opera." Moon and Aries pride themselves on high concept, dynamic theatrical tracks, and their new EP is nothing less than a full body activation experience.    MIKE DI LORENZO Keyboardist Mike Di Lorenzo has explored everything from R&B and Jazz to Latin and Gospel and everything in between, backing up and recording with a wide range of artists in the New York area.

Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the podcast by charting out the social and psychological challenges of in transitioning from the privacy of an individual home (with your own backyard) in a culture which values individuality to a sardine-like existence in a multiple dwelling within a cultures where everyone's nose is in your business. Prof. Juni explores an important cornerstone of Child Development Theory which entails the process of identity formation. At the most basic level, we are dealing with Ego Boundaries – namely, where does my body and my essence end -- in the context of other beings and even the physical environment. The infant begins as an inextricable part of mother, and it takes many years to differentiate from caregivers and the physical environment. This process is known as identity formation. As our lives evolve or change, we continuously jettison (project) certain aspects of ourselves while we incorporate (introject) elements of the outside into our very beings and make them part of who we see ourselves to be. Moving to an environment where practically all of your neighbors share your religion, national identity, values, and paramount concerns lends itself to an expansion of ego boundaries. In parallel, moving into a condominium complex where you share facilities and infrastructure redefines how you construe “your turf.” Moreover, forced daily interaction with neighbors close off some learned options of privacy. All of these factors inevitable result in a change of identity. To a certain extent, one becomes incapable of seeing oneself as separate from surrounding and people with whom so much is shared. The psychological and social challenges of such a transition are highlighted. Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture. As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim. Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

As projects like Manhattan's High Line, Chicago's 606, China's eco-cities, and Ethiopia's tree-planting efforts show, cities around the world are devoting serious resources to urban greening. Formerly neglected urban spaces and new high-end developments draw huge crowds thanks to the considerable efforts of city governments. But why are greening projects so widely taken up, and what good do they do? In How Green Became Good: Urbanized Nature and the Making of Cities and Citizens (U Chicago Press, 2021), Hillary Angelo uncovers the origins and meanings of the enduring appeal of urban green space, showing that city planners have long thought that creating green spaces would lead to social improvement. Turning to Germany's Ruhr Valley (a region that, despite its ample open space, was "greened" with the addition of official parks and gardens), Angelo shows that greening is as much a social process as a physical one. She examines three moments in the Ruhr Valley's urban history that inspired the creation of new green spaces: industrialization in the late nineteenth century, postwar democratic ideals of the 1960s, and industrial decline and economic renewal in the early 1990s. Across these distinct historical moments, Angelo shows that the impulse to bring nature into urban life has persistently arisen as a response to a host of social changes, and reveals an enduring conviction that green space will transform us into ideal inhabitants of ideal cities. Ultimately, however, she finds that the creation of urban green space is more about how we imagine social life than about the good it imparts. Richard E.

Some of you may already know our next guest, New-York based, Indie filmmaker, Gary Hustwit, from his iconic trilogy of design-focused documentaries: First, Helvetica examines our visual culture and how a font impacts urban spaces, asking us to take another glance at the thousands of words we see every day. Objectified is a look into our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, “by extension, the people who design them.” And finally Urbanized — a window into how cities are designed, framing a discussion on their futures. His work takes us on a journey into how design impacts our lives, from a micro level to a macro, and has helped many see the design through a more humanistic lens — challenging the idea of what design is — is it something to consume or an application to makes our lives better. In recent years he has followed up with films like Rams, an intimate portrait of one of the most influential designers alive, Dieter Rams, Workplace which focuses on the future of our workspaces. As well as his latest release — a short film called The Map, which follows the redesign of New York City's iconic subway map — one that updates in real-time. reSITE founder, Martin Barry, spoke with Gary about his creative process, motivation, and evolution, that led to making the kinds of films he, himself, wants to watch and ones that make design more accessible for all.

Urbanized co-founders talk about the Urbanized name for their company and a few tips on rebranding.

Filmmaker, photographer and perpetual entrepreneur Gary Hustwit connects the dots of his DIY-driven path through independent music, independent publishing, and independent films, to his current preoccupation with non-fiction VR. Along the way he deconstructs the methods to his madness and expounds on the popularity of his trilogy of design documentaries: Helvetica, Objectified and Urbanized. Plus he teases a bit about his forthcoming doc about Dieter Rams, and confesses that an early disdain for avocados didn’t prevent him from capitalizing on their market-appeal.

Detta februariavsnitt av kulturgeografipodden handlar om myter. Maja Essebo, kulturgeograf och forskare verksam vid LUCSUS i Lund berättar om hur myter bland annat påverkar beslut och får följder i samhällsplanering och politik.

Luke’s documentary work is a continuous study of natural light, human movement and simply doing more with less. Luke's narrative work brings factors of control, beauty and storytelling that inform his approach on a daily basis. In this journey, he has filmed successes as varied as Helvetica, Objectified, Borat, and Jane’s Addiction’s Three Days.   Some of Luke's more recent work includes the documentaries: Buck, the real-life story of Dan "Buck" Brannaman, a cowboy who has the almost magical ability to calm unruly horses and Love Etc. about diverse couples, each in different stages of their relationships in NYC.   Luke has also shot Urbanized, about city design, the latest in Gary Hustwit's design-oriented documentary feature film series.
