Co-chairman of Stronghold Digital Mining Bill Spence and CEO Gregory Beard join the show. Stronghold is a vertically integrated Bitcoin miner that uses waste coal to power their operations – while also remediating this environmentally damaging product. We dive into this fascinating, and counter-intuitive story. In this episode: Backgrounds of the co-chairmen and how they found the intersection of Bitcoin mining and coal waste mitigation Bill's personal commitment to the mitigation of coal waste Why coal waste has been accumulating in PA since the late 1700s The immense scale of the coal waste and how it continue to affect PA, even though mining no longer occurs How unremediated coal waste can be understood as a form of class warfare Why coal waste exists in the first place Why developments in power plant technology meant that coal waste could be safely combusted Why aboveground coal waste oxidizes and releases CO2 anyway - as well as other harmful particulates Why growing grass over the coal waste doesn't solve the problem Why 2 billion tons of coal waste can't just be moved into landfills How there are 800 sites in PA and 70 of them are currently on fire Why Stronghold is vertically integrated, and the advantage this grants them in mining Bitcoin How Stronghold sends power to the grid in the case of a shortage Has Stronghold evaluated other high energy intensity loads aside from just Bitcoin Why Bitcoin is a more suitable load for their energy resources than others How Bitcoin allows Stronghold to keep their power available at short notice Stronghold's reaction to criticism in the press and from Washington Why nothing had been done about the coal waste for 100 years before Stronghold came along Is the future of Bitcoin mining vertical integration?

Conferences and summer programs offer institutions an opportunity to generate revenue that can reduce the financial burden placed on students during the academic year. And it’s not just housing – a strong, efficient summer program brings revenue to other campus entities as well, including dining services, athletics, facilities, and even academic departments. Developing these programs to really work for your campus takes creativity, research, and planning. Erik Elordi is the Director of National Conference Services for COCM. He specializes in reviewing campuses’ summer programs and providing support, direction and management of the implementation of a tailored plan via a management partnership. His passion for approaching campus revenue with an entrepreneurial mindset drives him to help campuses solve the problem of generating revenue over the summer months. While the summer of 2020 brought a set of unique challenges, Erik is looking to summer of 2021 opportunities and currently building a small library of resources for student housing professionals to learn how to leverage the campus amenities during summer months. For universities and colleges that do not have a management agreement with COCM, our corporate team can help by taking our Fresh Eyes Consulting approach and focusing specifically on conference and summer programming. Our team provides for those interested in knowing how much more they could be making off of the summer months outcomes, reports and implementation plans to help put conference services together or help grow and build on the ones that the campus may already have in place. Why do so many campuses miss out on the opportunities that the summer months provide for revenue? For a lot of institutions, conferences are a secondary thought – which makes sense. It often falls to the student housing department, and that task often falls behind because during the academic year the student housing department is so focused on making the student experience great for the students. Then, summer becomes a scramble. By having Erik as a dedicated person, he is able to help campuses think about these opportunities all year round and leverage those summer months as much as possible. COCM encourages campuses to put in the time to prepare for the summer months so they don’t leave money on the table by not using all of their campus assets during all twelve months. Topics Covered Erik’s background experience in housing in Oregon and Washington Why he takes an entrepreneurial approach to summer months and why that excites him Seeing summer housing as opportunity to keep rates lower for students during the regular year How his team at Cornish College of the Arts built and developed a conference program from the ground up How summer programming also helps with recruitment and a pipeline into the college into the future The story behind Erik’s entrepreneurial approach to building summer revenue Why building resources for others looking to develop similar programs is so important to Erik How COCM can take a look at your own campus housing through the Fresh Eyes Process providing recommendations on how to grow that Why a lot of campuses are missing out on these opportunities and the questions they have about the potential Why COCM takes the approach of thinking about potential summer revenue opportunities year round How any campus can connect with COCM to get their questions answered and talk about the opportunities for conferences and summer programs Connect with Erik COCM’s Conference Services Erik on Linkedin Erik on Twitter Connect with Leigh Anne & COCM Student Housing Matters Student Housing Matters on Facebook Student Housing Matters on Twitter Capstone On-Campus Management Leigh Anne on LinkedIn Email media@cocm.com
RSP contributor Dwain McFarland joins the RSP Cast to kick off our team-by-team NFL projection series for the 2020 season with an in-depth examination of Philadelphia and Washington's offenses. Dwain McFarland (@dwainmcfarland) and I continue our excellent conversations about how to project offenses with a look at the Philadelphia and Washington offenses: Why do Matt and Dwain believe there's a ceiling for Miles Sanders that's lower than the current buzz and the manufacturer of that barrier is Boston Scott? Could Jalen Reagor be the leading wide receiver on the depth chart as a rookie? Why is Desean Jackson an excellent choice as a fourth or fifth option for fantasy wide receiver depth charts? How do the stats regarding Carson Wentz's accuracy match up perfectly with Matt's long-time film assessments? Which receivers beyond Terry McLaurin have a chance to shine in Washington? Why are Dwain and Matt split on Antonio Gibson's prospects as a rookie? What was Matt's personal wish for Adrian Peterson in 2020? As mentioned in previous podcasts, I highly recommend reading McFarland’s new piece at the RSP site on How to Project NFL Offenses. If you’re a fantasy player, NFL beat writer, or football analyst, you should consider learning to do your own projections and Dwain has over 20 years of experience as well as success in high stakes fantasy leagues. Even if you don’t have time to do projections and want pointers on how to select others, this article is a great resource.

If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2019 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge. Best yet, a percentage of each sale is set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse.
Is the U.S. military built and positioned to stop or — if necessary — win the next big war? What should the Navy and Marine Corps of the future look like? What's standing in the way? How can the United States step back from the Middle East and focus on the Pacific? What does The Wire have to teach us about Washington? Why does a member of Congress have a sword, a pull-up bar, and a bottle of Lagavulin 16 in his office? Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin and Chris Brose of Anduril Industries join Ryan for a wide-ranging conversation that tackles these questions and more.

Seattle artist Alfredo Arreguin has exhibited his work internationally, most recently at the Museo de Cadiz in Spain (2015). He has exhibited solo shows at Linda Hodges Gallery since 2001. Arreguin has a long and distinguished list of accomplishments. In 1979 he was selected to represent the U.S. at the 11th International Festival of Painting at Cagnes-sur-Mer, France, where he won the Palm of People Award. In 1980 he received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the arts. In 1988, in a competition that involved over 200 portfolios, Arreguin won the commission to design the poster for the Centennial Celebration of the State of Washington (the image was his painting Washingtonia); that same year he was invited to design the White House Easter Egg. Perhaps the climactic moment of his success came in 1994, when the Smithsonian Institution acquired his triptych, Sueno (Dream: Eve Before Adam), for inclusion in the collection of the National Museum of American Art. A year later, in 1995, Arreguin received an OHTLI Award, the highest recognition given by the Mexican government to the commitment of distinguished individuals who perform activities that contribute to promoting Mexican culture abroad. More recently, success has been cemented by an invitation to show his work in the Framing Memory: Portraiture Now exhibition, at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. One of his paintings included in this show, The Return to Aztlan, will remain in the permanent collection of the gallery. Thus, Arreguin’s work is now in the permanent collections of two Smithsonian Museums: The National Museum of American Art and the National Portrait Gallery. In 2017, he was awarded to the keys to the city of Morelia, an honor only shared with Pope Francis. In 2018, he collaborated with Doug Johnson for “In the Shadow of the Master” in Tacoma and had a solo retrospective at the Bainbridge Island Museum of art. It was so popular, the show was extended. What you’ll learn about in this episode: How Alfredo’s incredibly successful show at the small Marmot gallery in Spokane, Washington came to be How Alfredo’s artwork came to be shown at the Smithsonian, and how his art has been displayed in more locations in Washington state than any other artist Why Alfredo had some of his paintings turned into line art to be given to kids to color, and how his paintings have drawn in viewers from all over How Alfredo’s process of painting works, and how his style for his current triptych project uses a method akin to pointillism How Alfredo uses a “meditative state” to paint without thinking about it, and how he did a portrait of the first black Justice for the state of Washington Why doing portraits of people is an intimate process for Alfredo, and why he believes it would be difficult to paint a portrait of someone he does not know Bryan describes the in-progress piece that Alfredo has been working on for around six weeks, featuring orcas Alfredo shares the story of doing a painting for writer and poet Ray Carver after his lung cancer diagnosis Alfredo shares how he first met Ray Carver and Tess Gallagher, and he shares how his friendship with them influenced him How Alfredo decides when a piece of artwork is “done”, and why he has always struggled with that Alfredo shares stories of his childhood struggles and the challenges he faced as a young boy in Morelia, Mexico Why Alfredo moved to Mexico City to escape his mother’s husband, and how Alfredo first met his biological father Alfredo discusses his alcoholism, and he shares why he chose sobriety in an effort to help himself quit smoking How Alfredo made ends meet while he was pursuing his artwork, and at what point he realized he was successful enough to support his family with his work How Facebook has provided Alfredo with a great opportunity to connect with educators and schools across the country Why Alfredo is branching out into other mediums, and how Alfredo feels a connection to Frida Kahlo through his mother’s interest in art Why Alfredo believes that pain and suffering can create beautiful artwork as an outlet to process it What advice Alfredo would offer to young people looking to express themselves through art and other creative work Additional resources: Website: www.alfredoarreguin.com
