In this episode, Dr. Adam McAtee, PT, DPT, breaks down what the "system" of Pilates actually is, and why he thinks its importance gets seriously overstated. He gets into why understanding movement principles matters more than which equipment you own, why a great instructor beats a fully loaded studio every time, and how to tell the difference between the pebbles and the boulders in your programming. If you've ever felt boxed in by "the system," this episode makes the case for a wider, more confident way to practice.Offerings for Pilates studios:⁠Click here⁠ to learn more about our Foundations of Anatomy & Biomechanics Course made for teacher training programs.

This week's VentureFuel Visionary is Fatih Nayebi, Vice President of Data & AI at ALDO Group. He leads AI initiatives that transform retail operations and customer experiences. He's also a Faculty Lecturer at McGill University and the author of Foundations of Agentic AI for Retail, the first book on autonomous AI systems in retail. He demystifies agentic AI, federated learning, and the promise of A2A (agents to agents), while noting that these advances will still need humans in the loop.

    Connect Malta, Atlantis, and the island's megalithic temples through Plato, older writers, and archaeoastronomy. The conversation weighs the traditional archaeological dating against sky-based alignments and asks whether Malta preserves traces of a much older lost civilization. Bernie is back, going a little deeper in this part of the world. Bernie Taylor, Naturalist, Archaeoastronomer and Author of Before Orion: Finding the Face of the Heroand Biological Time. https://www.youtube.com/@beforeoriondotcom https://beforeorion.com/ We discuss Bernie's three-part framework for Atlantis, the evidence from Malta's temple sites, and why the alignments to Sirius and the solstices matter. Graham and Darren also press on the hypogeum, underwater connections, and how Malta fits into a wider Mediterranean megalithic tradition. Key topics Bernie Taylor lays out his case that Malta belongs inside the broader Atlantis tradition, even if Malta was not Atlantis itself. He argues Plato's Atlantis story draws on earlier writers like Herodotus and Sanchuniathon, not just Plato alone. The group discusses Plato's "9,000 years before Solon" as likely metaphorical rather than a literal date. Malta's megalithic temples are presented as especially important because they have no clear living cultural memory explaining who built them. The conversation contrasts archaeological dating of temple use with the possibility that older foundations or floors could predate the visible walls. Bernie highlights archaeostronomical work by Tor Lomsdalen and Leni Redig showing alignments tied to Sirius, equinoxes, and solstices. Darren and Graham push the idea that reused sites, buried structures, and later contamination could blur the true dates of Malta's temples. The hypogeum is raised as a major unanswered question, especially because it may indicate a larger underground complex. The episode repeatedly returns to the idea that Atlantis, Malta, Gobekli Tepe, and other ancient sites may belong to a shared long-range tradition rather than isolated local inventions. The practical travel angle comes through too, with Bernie recommending compasses and printed temple maps for the Malta trip.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

In Part 2 of this behind-the-scenes conversation, we sit down with EB Academics curriculum writer Pat to break down what effective word study looks like from 5th through 8th grade and how to build a system that becomes more rigorous each year without becoming overwhelming.We dive into why 5th grade begins with syllables, sounds, and decoding before introducing vocabulary, how spelling rules are intentionally concentrated in 5th grade, and what to do when older students still need foundational support.You'll also learn how to revisit 5th grade word study without making students feel “behind,” strategies for small groups, supporting struggling readers, special education students, and English language learners, and how consistent routines, vertical alignment, and even gestures help word study stick.If you want a word study system that builds stronger, more confident readers year after year, this episode is for you!Subscribe & Review in iTunesAre you subscribed to our podcast?

What does it mean to be rationally spiritual? In the second sermon of our 2026 UU Foundations series, Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter explores a faith that makes room for questions and welcomes the use of reason. At First Unitarian Church of Dallas, we bring our whole selves to the search for meaning. This sermon considers how our beliefs shape the way we live and asks what our choices reveal about what we value. Rational spirituality means taking our faith seriously enough to question it, examine it, and put it into practice. Topics include: rational spirituality, reason and faith, doubt, ethics, Unitarian Universalism, spiritual life, justice, equity, authenticity

This series is about what God actually says about doing relationships well. Not opinions. Not advice from someone who has it all figured out. God's Word — applied to the marriages, friendships, families, and workplaces we actually live in.Here's where we start: healthy, loving relationships don't begin by finding healthy, loving people. They begin by becoming one.That's a harder truth than most of us want to sit with. But when you look honestly at the common denominator in every strained relationship, every fracture, every falling out you've ever had — there's one person who shows up every single time. You.Not to pile on. That's true for all of us. The question is what we do with it.In Week 1 we open in Ephesians 5:1-2 and trace Paul's argument back through chapters 4 and 3 to show how the call to "walk in love" isn't a suggestion tacked onto the end of a letter. It's the logical conclusion of everything Paul has just said about who Jesus is, what He's done, and what it means to live as someone who's been deeply loved by God.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

A conversation about meeting one another's 'falling apart', the cultural pressure to stay buttoned up, the fertile potential hidden inside our moments of undoing, and what it means to be a person who can welcome and hold space for another's becoming rather than trying to put the lid back on. How genuine care for another might involve staying faithful to the life inside them, which is something deeper than their current circumstances, their current identity, or the version of them we first fell in love with.This week is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.This is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day I heard a thunderclap and as is my Pavlovian response, immediately ran to my shack to disconnect the antennas from their respective transmitter and transceiver. I added a diary entry to my phone to note that I'd disabled my WSPR, or Weak Signal Propagation Reporter beacon, which generally runs 24/7. A few hours later I remembered that my beacon was off and I returned to put it all back in working order. That's not always been the case. From time-to-time I've managed to turn off the beacon and forgotten to re-enable it, once for months. Same with my main radio, which at one point was disconnected from its antenna, taking a good half hour of stressful troubleshooting to discover one memorable Saturday morning, when I tried to set-up for my weekly net. Now it's the first step, before I turn on the power supply. I've mentioned in passing that lightning protection and grounding requirements are not globally uniform and I'm purposefully refraining from advising you how to do this in your shack. When in doubt, talk to your local community and a licensed electrician, mainly because there's plenty of poor advice around that could result in your applicable household electrical regulations being breached. Back to my shack. Wouldn't it be cool if I could automate this, something like a remote controlled relay, preferably wireless so stray RF doesn't make it into the wrong circuit. Switching aside, it occurred to me that I'd also need some way of detecting lightning to trigger this system, you know, disconnect the antennas, turn off the beacon, then reverse the process when all is clear. Speaking of automation, a few years ago I purchased a beautiful electromechanical coax switch. I'm still trying to discover how to drive it and I'm not game to power it with the risk of letting the magic smoke out, so if you have specific details for a K&L 6LMP-28-F-N-I-TTL six position coax switch, a data sheet would be wonderful, get in touch, cq@vk6flab.com is my email address. Searching for lightning detectors reveals a boatload of circuits and tools. There's websites galore, an active community surrounding "blitzortung.org" with an absolutely mesmerising homepage, and plenty of other projects to play with. One thing I noticed was a distinct lack of SDR, or Software Defined Radio implementations. The number isn't zero, but I didn't find any turn-key solutions. One recurring theme, other than arguing which frequency to tune to for the best result, was the notion that a simple AM radio receiver could be used. The idea often promulgated is to tune between stations and to listen for clicks and pops. It occurred to me that using an SDR as an AM receiver is pretty much the first thing you do after plugging it in. Combining these ideas, it seems obvious, of course it's unlikely to be, but you know, why spoil the fun, to do this within the 2.6 MHz bandwidth of an RTL-SDR dongle which might actually detect some wideband RF, the signature of a lightning strike. That started me down the path of splitting a signal in GNU Radio, routing it to multiple AM decoders, looking for peaks, all that fun, when I realised that I know of a tool that does pretty much all of that, "rtl-airband". With a simple text file to describe the frequencies you want to monitor, decode, apply squelch, mix, position and route, most of the job is done. When it's running, you might have just created a lightning detector to start your journey on this road, using stuff you already have. I intend to create an example configuration file for exactly this purpose, perhaps even a script to generate it, and I'll publish it on GitHub. Word of warning, based on the number of tools alone, the rabbit hole is deep. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

221  You already know that a good marriage takes work.But what if constantly working on your marriage can sometimes get in the way of it being good?For many highly sensitive women, taking their relationship seriously can easily turn into taking every problem, disappointment, unresolved issue, and imperfection seriously—more often than we need to.We think about what needs to change. We revisit the hard conversations. We notice what still isn't fixed. We keep working on it, because of course we want our marriages to be good.But what often happens is that working on your relationship starts to become the main way you experience your relationship.And so you end up missing out on so much that could be enjoyable, loving, and simply good between you..Making a generally good relationship…not so good…In this episode, you'll hear about the surprising problem that always working on your marriage leads to—and why another kind of work is just as essential to creating a deeply loving, connected relationship. (Hint: it is MUCH more fun work.)I also share why doing this other kind of work – this all too often forgotten work – has made such a difference in my own marriage, and what many highly sensitive women need to learn in order to stop letting the hardest parts of their relationship take up so much space.And be able to truly feel loved, loving, and deeply connected in marriage.So listen in to this story and metaphor filled episode, and learn the starting point of the incredibly important and usually overlooked work.Because your marriage is about so much more than solving its problems.And sometimes, the work you aren't doing may be exactly what your marriage needs more of.SHOW NOTES: Learn more about  Sanctuary 1:1 (where Foundations of Emotional Well-Being is included as the first layer).ENJOYING THE SHOW? Don't miss an episode!

This special “Best Of” episode is packed with some of our favorite encouragement for living out your faith with more purpose, joy, and courage. Willie Robertson reminds us that sharing the Gospel is something all of us get to be part of, while Priscilla Shirer brings so much freedom from the pressure of doing it all by encouraging us to embrace what God has actually called us to in this season. Annie Downs gets real about growing in wisdom, courage, and everyday obedience, and Jonathan Pokluda brings practical truth about prayer, trusting God through things we don't understand, and letting small acts of faithfulness grow deep roots over time.

If marketing feels like a slog, I promise you it's not because you suck at it. It's because nobody talks about the foundations, they jump straight to the shiney objects and magic pills. Which is like building IKEA furniture with half the parts and no manual. This week, I'm getting into why "free" marketing from your host agency is quietly costing you clients, why AI content is setting off alarm bells for your audience, whether you realize it or not, and why the "faceless" trend was always going to die (I called it back then too). In this episode, I also talk about the marketing funnel and why most advisors have it backwards, and why I ditched AI for my own writing.

There's a kind of waiting that doesn't feel like waiting. You know exactly what you need to do. You've meant to do it for longer than you'd like to admit. You keep finding a reason why right now isn't quite the right time, and you tell yourself that's responsible, that's thoughtful, that's just good timing. In episode 11 of the Wealth B-Hers Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe is done letting that story stand. She breaks down exactly what waiting costs, the compound growth that quietly disappears, the confidence that erodes one avoided month at a time, the low hum of 2am anxiety that never fully goes away. She shares her own experience starting over in the middle of real loss after 2008, and she lands on something most financial advice never says out loud: the perfect moment to begin is never coming, for anyone.    This isn't a call to panic or a countdown to catch up. It's an honest accounting of the price of delay, and a reminder that you aren't behind. The episode closes with one clear, doable step, not a plan, not a deadline, just the decision to stop waiting and find the people who can help you begin.    00:00 - Continuing the Foundations Series 02:13 - Naming the Quiet Kind of Waiting 04:04 - The Financial Cost of Time 05:30 - The Emotional Tax of Uncertainty 07:37- Why the Perfect Moment Never Comes 09:19 - Starting in the Middle and Finding Your People   You've worked hard to build your career.

Broken trust in a relationship can feel like an earthquake, shattering the very foundation you once believed was unshakable. The pain, confusion, and sense of being lost can leave couples wondering if true intimacy is even possible after betrayal. Many couples long for closeness but find themselves stuck, not knowing how to rebuild what was lost or where to even begin. When wounds run deep, is it ever possible to truly reconnect and create real, lasting intimacy? In this episode, listeners will discover a step-by-step approach designed to guide couples through the difficult process of healing after a rupture. By exploring practical strategies for restoring honesty, safety, and trust, this conversation offers a clear roadmap toward deeper vulnerability and stronger connection. Whether you're mending after betrayal or simply striving for deeper intimacy, you'll find actionable guidance and hope for creating a secure, thriving partnership. Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith are trained relationship specialists, speakers, and authors of the book Building True Intimacy: Creating a Connection that Stands the Test of Time. They have over 20 years of combined experience in counseling, coaching, and guiding couples toward healing and transformation. Currently, they co-lead The Raabsmith Team, where their mission is to help couples navigate the complexities of relational challenges, particularly in the aftermath of sexual addiction and betrayal trauma.   Episode Highlights 05:19 Discovering the path to repair and the intimacy pyramid. 11:55 Addressing underlying issues and readiness for change. 15:04 How pain motivates the healing process. 18:53 The role of individual healing before rebuilding relationship dynamics. 21:33 Boundaries and healthy differentiation in couples work. 24:40 Using structure and process to overcome relational challenges. 26:25 Starting with honesty and rebuilding safety. 29:23 Building responsibility and restoring trust. 32:51 Creating a shared narrative for healing. 36:03 Reconnecting through trust and body awareness. 40:52 Becoming more vulnerable to deepen connection. 43:54 Healing together through shared grief. 45:46 Applying the intimacy framework to everyday relationships.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Restore Honesty: Begin with complete openness and transparency about past actions and their impacts—commit to sharing the full truth with your partner. Individual Healing: Each partner should focus on their own emotional healing, whether recovering from betrayal or its effects, ideally through therapy or support groups. Build Safety: Consistently demonstrate trustworthy behaviors over time, such as attending therapy, setting boundaries, and keeping commitments, to re-establish a sense of safety. Validate and Express Pain: The betrayed partner should openly share their emotional impacts and pain, while the betraying partner listens and acknowledges them without defensiveness. Address Underlying Issues: Look beyond stopping the hurtful behavior by addressing the deeper causes—like trauma or unhealthy coping strategies—on an individual level. Develop a Shared Narrative: Together, reflect on and discuss your relationship story, acknowledging how each person experienced the rupture and making room for both perspectives. Practice Relational Repairs: When trust is rebuilt, work as a team to create restorative changes, such as shifting household roles or reprioritizing family over work, to demonstrate lasting change.

And check out Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” Youtube channel. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy podcast. I’m your host, Allen Hall. I’m here with Matthew Stead and Rosemary Barnes. And Rosemary, where are we?  Rosemary Barnes: We’re in Melbourne, and we have been visiting future attendees and sponsors and people interested in, in the event to see what topics that we should be talking about. What are the hot topics of the moment?  Allen Hall: Which is a very interesting two days, Matthew, in that, uh, we h- did meet with a number of operators based in Australia, but, uh, they’re also very worldly. They have talked to companies all over about operations and, and maintenance, and there are some really eye-opening topics- Mm that will be- Mm … at WOMA 2027 this year.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. The thing that was interesting for me was [00:01:00]that actually the topics have changed each year. So, um, they’re evolving and the industry’s continuing to, to do better, and so that, that was really interesting. Performance upgrades was probably one of the big areas of, of new interest, I think. I think we heard with the pressure on pricing, uh, the market and so forth, you know, that, that 1% or 2% now is becoming more important. Um, so I think, uh, upgrades will definitely feature quite a lot. Um, balance of plant was also a big topic. Um, you just can’t ig- ignore the, um, transmission, you can’t ignore the transformers, you can’t ignore, uh, condensers and all these sorts of things, so yeah. Rosemary Barnes: Cables.  Matthew Stead: Cables.  Rosemary Barnes: Terminations. Terminations of cables. Specifically raised several times.  Allen Hall: Yep. Yeah. It’s all about being more efficient, uh, getting more production, and then with the PPA prices, uh, that are changing-  Matthew Stead: Mm …  Allen Hall: rapidly, uh, everybody is paying more attention to the bottom line.  Matthew Stead: Mm, mm.  Allen Hall: Absolutely. There, there’s less cash running around, uh, chasing new development. It’s [00:02:00] more of a focus on making sure your, at least your existing assets are performing as, as well as they can be- Mm … which then opens up the, uh, Pandora’s box of opportunity. Mm. Because there are 1%’s all around a wind turbine. More specifically, uh, all the drive train issues, the blade issues, the generator issues, and even going into the substation. Mm. I, I was really shocked on BOP e- the, the one topic that came up, uh, yesterday and today was buried cables. Mm. Like-  Matthew Stead: Faults …  Allen Hall: faults.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. Junctions. Finding- Yeah … finding faults and what to do about them. Yeah. Yeah. But I think in addition to just wanting more revenue, I think people have, are getting more sophisticated about what actually matters and then the finances. You know, everyone’s focused so much on availability, and now people- Mm … are like, okay, yeah, like once you’re at a certain level of availability, gets harder and harder to get more. And actually, you know, not all availability is equal. Is good. It, it [00:03:00] depends. Yeah. Yeah, like you wanna, um, you wanna focus on how much you’re generating at the times when electricity prices are high specifically, which usually means during lower wind speed periods. Yeah. Which is actually good because that matches really well with what is actually possible. It’s, it’s hard to get more power out of the turbine if it’s at, you know, its rated power, then you’re not g- More efficiency is not gonna get you any more, um, power output, whereas lower in the power curve- Mm … um, when wind speeds are lower, there’s less electricity in the grid and so prices are higher. And so- Mm … yeah, I mean, that’s, that’s why people are really asking to know more about what efficiency upgrades are possible, better ways to operate, scheduled maintenance, um, all those sorts of things. Mm. So that will be really interesting.  Matthew Stead: Raising the bar on sophistication. Um, but also life extension  Allen Hall: Yes, a lot of discussion about life extension  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, end of life and life extension End of life Yeah, um-  Matthew Stead: Foundations, structures Which is  Allen Hall: tied to PPA. Mm. A lot of that [00:04:00] discussion I, at least I looked at it as, uh, if I had a PPA and I can continue with that PPA with an existing turbine, I want to do that. Mm,  Matthew Stead: mm,  Allen Hall: mm. But how do I do that and how do I know that that existing turbine can last another five years? It seemed to go in five-year blocks, like can we get to another five years and then another and then, then another. Wow.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. Once you get to 20, 20, 25 years, I think people like, uh, they, you know- It’s getting a little- Their original agreement might have been for 20, then they kind of just assume that there will be another five, and then after that they’re- Yeah … kind of reassessing cyclically and yeah, I know that people make plans for, you know, what components are replaceable, what would they have to get in, and I think that sometimes, uh, people doing those plans aren’t as familiar with the, you know, actual technical issues that are being faced. Like, is a blade a replaceable component? It may be early on in the life it sort of is, not easily, but you know, like a 25-year-old wind turbine, you know, good luck trying to order 10 new blades because you’ve got a, you know, an issue that’s-  Allen Hall: Oh, well you, you need to read the news. Did you [00:05:00] see the news today about, uh, the, the wooden wind turbine blades as a replacement for aged blades? That, that’s happening- … in real time, Rosa.  Rosemary Barnes: Okay. I know they- Yeah. Yep, yep. Okay. Okay. So that, that’s, that’s good. Making carbon new blade. E- even so, I don’t think that they’re- Okay. … gonna be, like, super-duper cheap, so you’re still gonna wanna be, um, doing a trade-off between y- you know, like, what kind of repairs. You might be able to change the way you’re operating to reduce loads. Um, you might be able to monitor to make sure that your blades are safe. You know, if you know that there’s an issue, um, you just wanna get some advanced warning before blades start falling off your, your tower. Mm. You know, and then you can push it further. Yeah. Whereas if you’ve got no information, then you have to be conservative and shut it down. Yeah. So yeah, I think there’s a whole lot that can be g- can be done there in that area.  Matthew Stead: There was a point that came up today, which I think was close to your heart, on, you know, if you’re going to be going for 1% or 2% or 0.5% AEP improvement, how do you actually measure that and how do you set up a proper experiment? So-  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah …  Matthew Stead: I, I, I love that topic. [00:06:00] Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. No, it’s one that I, um, yeah, I deal with m- my clients I, I’m often… It’s one of the things that Pablo really loves to do, is to organize trials of that nature of new technologies and see if they work. But, um, yeah, asset managers are usually very, uh, focused on fast results. You know, they’ve got a, a big problem and they want a solution now, so they wanna just roll out the new technology over an entire wind farm. But if you do that, then it’s almost impossible. Unless you get, like, a huge benefit, like, uh, 10% gains or, you know, like reduce your failures by 50% or more, it’s really hard to actually- Mm pick that out if you just replace everything. Mm. Whereas if you do a really, really good, um, trial plan- Systematic. Yeah … and you match pairs very well so that you have, you know, a control for each turbine and there’s- so many variables in a wind farm. It’s not, it’s not as easy as just, like, randomly choosing 50% to do and not do. Mm. Mm. Mm. Like, you have to, you know, put some work into the trial design, and then, you know, like, do your statistical calculations ahead of time to know how long it’s gonna take you to get s- statistical [00:07:00]significance. So then you don’t just have a gut feeling about- Yep … how something went. You’ve actually got numbers, and then you can take those numbers to, you know, other wind farms that you’ve got- Yeah and, and know what’s going on much better.  Matthew Stead: Worst study is an inconclusive study.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. Yeah, that’s true. Definitely.  Allen Hall: Well, that comes back to the data analysis- Mm … which a lot of operators mentioned, and how much data there is and what to do with it, and it did seem like a couple of operators have chosen some AI tools, varying degrees, all the way down from Microsoft Copilot to something much more complicated. Uh, but I think there’s, uh, getting that d- to the last 1, 2, 3%, you’re going to need those tools- Absolutely … because what do you choose? Do you choose a blade? Do you choose a gearbox? Do you choose a generator? Do you go to the substation to get that percentage point or two Without having some really powerful tools- Mm. you may be wasting your time [00:08:00] and money.  Matthew Stead: Mm.  Allen Hall: Which is a, a, a very interesting, uh, aspect to wind energy because it’s such an industrial business that, uh, we haven’t used heavy computational tools, uh, un- until really now.  Matthew Stead: Mm.  Allen Hall: And maybe Australia’s at the forefront because of the PPA and negative pricing is that that will, uh, actually lead an industry. Because I haven’t seen a lot of that being used globally. Mm. So this is the first time an operator- Mm … that I’ve talked to has said, “We’re using it.”  Matthew Stead: Yeah. It’s quite a different discussion, um, I think, you know, this year compared to previous years in that I think in the past it was getting to know what’s possible, but now it’s like real case studies are coming through. And a few of the people had some really good examples that we can talk about at the conference as to how they’ve actually been helped and how they did this and what the outcome was. I think, yeah, that would be really great content on that.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. I think it’s gonna be a good mix of people who have used third party tools and have experience with it, people that are doing it in-house and can share- Mm some of the kinds of results- Mm … that, that you can get just from analyzing your own- Mm … [00:09:00] SCADA data. Um, people talking about how they get the data that they want. Mm. ‘Cause it’s not always so easy. You would think that, you know, you own a wind turbine, you have a right to have all of the data that comes through it, but it’s not. Um, even if you do technically have a right, it’s, uh, it, it’s harder to actually get it than you might think. Mm. So yeah, sharing all, all those kinds of things. But I think also, like just as important as talking about the successes is talking about the, the gaps that– people still feel lots of gaps. Like, okay, we’ve got all the data, we’re collecting it. We know that there’s so much potential here- Mm … but we don’t really- Mm … know what we can do, or it’s hard for us to, you know- Mm … make headway in this particular pain point. And that is really useful for companies that are developing tools to know what are the, the problems. Mm. Because then they can e- you know, they’re well placed to fix them. Allen Hall: Mm. Which leads to the discussion we had with the operators and, uh, some of the suppliers for WOMA 2027. There’s a lot of interest. And as we’re sitting in the conference rooms, I’m thinking, we may not have enough room to [00:10:00] seat everybody. Uh, the WOMA 2027 website is up and running, and you can register now. So just go to woma2027.com and get started there. At the same point, we’ve had a lot of contact with, uh, pretty much everybody that wants to sponsor the event, and there’s only a limited number of ways to sponsor. So if you’re interested in doing that, you, you need to go to woma2027.com and look at those, uh, part- particular packages and see what- Mm fits your, your business. Uh- Going back to some of the, the comments we were just discussing downstairs about what we heard at 2026, like, which is only a couple of months ago, right? It’s back in February this year. Uh, there’s, they’re still discussing what happened at WOMA 2026- Mm. Which was very fascinating- Mm because I think Rosemary, you and I have been to conferences that I have not thought an iota … about what happened at those conferences. Just nothing interesting does occur. There’s no new, new information, there’s [00:11:00] no new science, there’s no new operator approaches.  Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Allen Hall: But we’re gonna see a number of those- Yeah. Mm … come next March.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. Well, I think it’s partly because I don’t know what other conference organizers do, but, you know, we’ve had a exhausting few days here. You’ve come all the way from America, obviously, and, and Claire as well, also come over, our producer. Um, so, y- you know, like, we’re working really hard to make sure that the topics… Like, it’s not an accident that the topics are ones that people are talking about later, because we come here to make sure that we get the right topics. And it’s not just these meetings as well. People get in touch, and- Mm … anybody watching, listening, who has, you know, something that they wanna talk about, then definitely, you know, send us a message, and yeah, we’re working on the agenda. We’ll, we’ll have a draft agenda in the next couple of weeks based on what we’ve learned here, but then we’ve got the hard job of it’s not just that you have a really interesting topic, you need to have a really great speaker- Yeah … or several really great speakers, usually covering several different aspects of the problem. You know, maybe it’s, uh, yeah, an asset [00:12:00] owner, an OEM, and some, some technology provider, you know, all together giving different, um, yeah, perspectives. That’s, I think, what makes a really great session. Mm. So yeah, we need the ideas for the sessions, and we also need the ideas for great speakers.  Matthew Stead: Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Right. Matthew Stead: Yeah. I think we’ve, we’ve already matched a few of those dots, so- Yeah … I, we’ve heard people asking for certain topics they wanna hear about, and then we’ve heard other operators saying, “Well, this is what we could talk about.” So I think we’ve already-  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, yeah … got some great  Matthew Stead: progress.  Rosemary Barnes: It was, it was interesting ’cause we, we built up a list of, you know-  Matthew Stead: Yeah Rosemary Barnes: frequently raised topics, and then you’d say it to the next person that you went to- Mm … and they’re like, “Oh, that’s not a problem for us because we’ve done X, Y, Z.” And you’re like, “Okay. Well, excellent. You can, you can present the solutions that we know that other people- Yeah. Yes … are, are looking for.” Yeah. So it has been… Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it’s definitely worthwhile coming, as, as tiring as it is. Yeah. Um, definitely worthwhile, and we’ll get a much better agenda for the- Yeah … for the effort.  Matthew Stead: And I think, I mean, it has been tiring. Um, but what, what made it for me was one of the operators said that [00:13:00] this is the only conference they will go to So I think, I think we’re doing the right thing. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. Yeah. I, I think so. I understand too, like, you know, all of us, we kind of are forced to go to events because that’s where our, our clients and customers are, and so you need to see them. And yeah, like I’ve even gone to the extent of some events where I don’t particularly like the event, but I know everyone’s going. Mm. I just go and sit near the event for a couple of days and meet people at a cafe. So yeah, like we can’t get away from it. But if you’re an asset manager or, um, yeah, somebody in that kind of type of work, like you’ve got better things to do than listen to sales pitches aggressively thrown at you that aren’t relevant- Yeah to what you’re doing. So, um, yeah. Like I, I definitely love to hear that kind of feedback- Yeah … and wanna make sure that we get it every, every year. Like that’s- It’s, it’s  Matthew Stead: encouraging.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah … yeah, that’s, that’s the point of the conference, so.  Matthew Stead: Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah.  Matthew Stead: The other big topic was we would really love more OEM involvement. Um-  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. Everybody wants more- … a lot of the operators- … OEM involvement- Yeah … all of the asset owners.  Matthew Stead: Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Like we want to [00:14:00] hear from OEMs more, have them there. Um, so yeah, we’re, we’ll be trying to To get those sorted  Allen Hall: Well, WOMA is a global conference, although it’s Australia-based and there’s a, a number of Australian operators. There are Danish, Americans, uh, plenty of Europeans. Uh, we’re gonna see some from Southeast Asia, I think, this year. Mm-hmm. And, and Japan hopefully will come. Uh, because it’s a, it’s a global conference, there’s global knowledge- Mm … and wind is such a big industry. You may not have the solution in the United States, it may be sitting in Australia, and we need to exchange those ideas. Mm. And that, that’s the point. So w- we are continuing to look for those world experts as we have received all the inputs of these are all the topics we wanna go hear about. Great. Now it’s on us three to go find some of those world experts and, and try to get them to Melbourne. Yeah. And I, I think that’s a great opportunity. So if we do call you and ask you to participate in WOMA [00:15:00] 2027, please take it seriously because- Mm … you will be bombarded with great questions- Mm … and contacts and information. Uh, it’s an event you won’t wanna miss. Yeah. And- But I would- … there’s opportunity there.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. I’d say we’re, we’re prioritizing OEMs, um, to, to get more participation, ideally to speak, but at least to be there. And we have heard from multiple asset owners in Australia that they want, they, they want to know what are some of the upgrades that they can do- Yeah … that you’re offering. They wanna know what’s coming next in terms of technology. They wanna know what are some of the non-Western options. So, you know, like it would be great to get some Chinese wind turbine, um, manufacturers as well. Like, they want all this information. They don’t want a slick sales brochure pitch that doesn’t give them any technical information. So we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to get, you know, some technical people to speak on, yeah, what are the upgrades you offer and how does it work- Mm-hmm … and show us a case study that demonstrates the improvements. Um, ’cause that [00:16:00] sometimes is really hard to get out of- Mm … out of OEMs. You know, that, “We’ve got this thing, it’s so amazing, you should get it.” Okay, well, what’s the business case for it? “Oh, well, we don’t have any numbers. Just trust us.”  Matthew Stead: Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Um, it’s so common to get a pitch like that. So yeah, any, any OEM that has any- anything like that, either for the next generation of wind turbines or for upgrading the current fleet, yeah, if you’re willing to bring the data, then people, they are desperate to hear this information. Allen Hall: Mm.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. That came up so many times.  Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Allen Hall: So what were the other, uh, topics that we’re… I’m just not thinking off the top of my head. I know foundations came up quite a bit- Foundations, yeah … which was an odd one, I think, because we haven’t seen that a lot in Australia. Yeah. But this year, foundations, foundations, foundations. Basically, the health of foundations. Yeah.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. I think really there was a lifting of the maturity. Um, I think the topics were sort of showing that, you know, Maslow’s hierarchy and moving into the more of optimization rather than making do, and I think life extension around the foundations was a, a really good example of that. Allen Hall: And bolts.  Matthew Stead: Bolts? Yeah, bolts.  Allen Hall: [00:17:00] Everybody said bolts. Bolts.  Matthew Stead: Bolts.  Allen Hall: You think the world’s simplest device, we’ve been making bolts for nearly 1,000 years or at least a couple hundred. But it does- And, you know- … come up quite often … cable, cable  Matthew Stead: terminations, again, some really  Rosemary Barnes: basic- Yeah, that, really specific ones that were raised multiple times. Yeah. Um, yeah, which, which is great- Yeah … ’cause it gives us a good direction to go. But I do love how it changes so much every year- Yeah … ’cause it makes me feel like, okay, yeah, like we’re actually, you know, it’s worthwhile, um, putting on another event. Mm. Um, not just recording one event and then just, you know, like replaying that every year or something. Re-educating.  Allen Hall: Yeah. Well, I, I think there’s a learning exercise that has happened over the past two years where people now are knowledgeable about those things we talked about- Mm … two years ago. Uh, was it, was it even two years ago? It was a year and a half ago when we first started this, so we’re, we’re not that deep into it. Although our third conference will be next March, uh, you just see more energy, more industry knowledge in some of the references that I heard, uh, in terms of other companies and the approaches they’re taking clearly came from WOMA.  Matthew Stead: Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Matthew Stead: Yeah,  Allen Hall: yeah. Which is, which is [00:18:00] fascinating. Yeah. That’s  Rosemary Barnes: good. I mean, we want- It, it is  Allen Hall: sticking Rosemary Barnes: we want tech conferences to get better, right? That was the- No … the reason why we, uh, we started this conference was ’cause we didn’t think that it was sufficient, what we had available. So, you know, it’s not a bad thing if other conferences, um, get better. Yeah. Yeah. We should also mention that blades were, were raised a fair bit. We talked so much about blades in the previous years, and we will be talking about blades a lot again, including we’ve got a master class on the Friday. Uh, it’s… Yeah, we’ll go back to some of the basics about how the composite materials work and how a blade is designed and certified and manufactured, and, um- Lightning. Y- yeah, yeah, a little, a little bit about lightning. Um, I don’t wanna cover it too much because we did the master class on lightning- Right … last year. Mm. Um, yeah. And yeah, some of the common damage methods anyway. And of course- Mm … yeah, lightning is probably the most- … common, or I guess leading edge erosion is the most, and then lightning would be the most expensive. Um, yeah, so we’ll be, we’ll be covering all that and just try and raise the knowledge level a little bit, um, for [00:19:00] everybody to… It’s a very complicated kind of, uh, yeah, component.  Matthew Stead: Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah.  Matthew Stead: And workshops. So each year we’ve run sort of workshops or roundtables or whatever, so we’re still thinking about the format for them, but, um, thinking about how we’ll reintroduce them again this year. You know, specific topics, specific questions, specific answers.  Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Allen Hall: And the three of us will be in Hamburg in a couple of weeks at Wind Energy Hamburg, so if you see us and you’re interested in coming to Australia, that’s the place to grab us and- Yep … and shake us and say, “I wanna go to Australia. How do I do it?” Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Allen Hall: Uh, yeah. Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Especially if you’ve got a, a t- technology that addresses some of those specific issues that we’ve mentioned- Mm … then, um, yeah, just know ahead of time that Australia needs, needs more information and more, um, solutions available to them. So, yeah. And  Matthew Stead: that reminds me, we had a really discussion a- around safety and, you know, reasonable and [00:20:00] practicable, and discussion around all the lessons learned about how… or what is best practice on a site, what is best practice about how to manage risks and-  Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. Yeah. I know you, you, you enjoyed that one.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And we’re not talking about, like, safety the- Ear muffs or hats. The, um, rou- Yeah, the routine safety that if you- The goggles, yeah … yeah, trip over and graze your knee, then you need to let the site supervisor know. You, you know, it’s not that stuff, ’cause sites have that under control. That’s a given, yeah. Or at least the ability to get that under control. We’re talking about the bigger- Yeah … bigger things, you know. Like, uh, is there a issue that is causing blades to fall off turbines every now and then? Is there an issue that, uh, can lead to, you know, a fire? I, I think everyone, like- Yeah … a big fear of everybody’s. There’s never been, um, in Australia at least, there’s never been a wind turbine fire that has caused a bush fire, but it is a possibility, and it would be so bad for the industry. So, you know, it’s those things- Mm … that could be just terrible, preventing those before they happen. Mm. So that’s the kind of safety that we’re gonna mainly focus on. Mm. Although, you know, we’re not gonna [00:21:00] turn down questions on, um, some of the smaller stuff as well.  Matthew Stead: Yeah.  Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Matthew Stead: And we even thought about getting some lawyers-  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah …  Matthew Stead: you missed out on this discussion, Rosie. Okay.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah.  Matthew Stead: So  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. Lawyers, this is news to me. Well, I mean, are we talking contracts or, um-  Matthew Stead: No, no … no … it’s really operations. I mean- Right … the environmental, um, issues- Oh yeah … the operational issues. Mm. You know, there’s, there’s a few things in there that the lawyers can add.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. I mean- … I’ve, I constantly find myself having to interpret, you know, legal, um, legal text and also anticipate, you know, it’s one thing about what’s the right engineering, but then there is also the legal interpretation of it- Yeah uh, as well, you know, in terms of contract law, but then also in, in terms of safety. Yeah. Um, yeah. Was this certification done correctly? You know- Yeah … that’s got some legal aspect to it. So yeah, that- Yeah … makes sense to me. Insurance is another one where I would say- Yeah, actually that came up … you know, like some, some people might think that that doesn’t sound interesting, but yeah, in- insurance is the other-  Matthew Stead: Mm Rosemary Barnes: aspect that you [00:22:00] just can’t, um, you can’t get away from it. Like, you can’t just think that you’re, you’re doing your engineering without bothering about Mm … yeah, like finance and law and, um, and insurance. Those are things that- Mm … you spend a lot of time thinking about.  Matthew Stead: Yeah. Mm. And I guess we would also love to hear, you know, about potential speakers, but we’d also love to hear any other topics that people are attending and want to know about as well. Rosemary Barnes: Mm-hmm.  Allen Hall: Absolutely. And if you haven’t registered for WOMA 2027, which will be March 3rd through 5th at the Pullman in East Melbourne, right? East Melbourne, yeah. They just redefined it. It’s Pullman in East Melbourne. Uh, go ahead and go to woma2027.com and register now. Uh, Matthew and Rosemary, it’s great to see you in person again, and we’ll see you in a couple of weeks, uh, hopefully in, in Germany. Rosemary Barnes: Mm.  Allen Hall: Very [00:23:00] exciting.

Ruth Kastner, PhD, is a member of the Foundations of Physics group at the University of Maryland, College Park. She is author of The Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The Reality of Possibility, Understanding Our Unseen Reality: Solving Quantum Riddles, and Adventures in Quantumland: Exploring Our Unseen Reality. In this video, rebooted from 2021, she contrasts the "eternalist" view of physics, as expressed in the idea of a "block universe" based on Einstein's theory of relativity, with a "dynamical" view as expressed in the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics. These interpretations of the physical universe both allow some form of human postmortem survival – although they appear to be quite different from each other. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.

Peak week isn't a one-size-fits-all process—and these IFBB pro case studies show exactly why. We break down what happened with our athletes at Texas Pro, including how we adjusted food, fluids, loading, stage-day weight ranges, and peak-week decisions based on how each athlete was responding. We also talk through the coaching challenges that come with working with high-level pros, from managing an athlete who fades quickly to making sure ego never gets in the way of getting better. If you want more episodes like this — where we translate research into practical coaching decisions — subscribe and follow along each week.

What does it mean to be genuinely inclusive when Muslims are being targeted because of their faith? In the first sermon of our 2026 UU Foundations series, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald looks at the rise of Islamophobia in North Texas and what it means for religious freedom. He also explores how fear and misinformation can shape the way we see our neighbors. As Unitarian Universalists, we believe that religious freedom belongs to everyone. We can learn more about Islam, speak up when we hear hate, and stand with people whose faith is being targeted. In our faith, genuine inclusion means making room for one another and remembering that we belong together.

Today we are in Romans 9. After reviewing the 5 Foundations that we discussed last week we looked at some things that rise up out of a person who is living that foundational life:Anguish over lostness. Suffering. Humility. Grace. Mindset. Courage/Boldness. Gratitude. Love. patience. Compassion.

Pastor Scott Ardavanis preaches a sermon from 2 Timothy 1 verses 1 through 5 on three vital truths that set the direction for the entire book of 2 Timothy.

A meditation on loss, presence, and what we learn from the people in our lives. Lizzie and Justin consider what each person might be teaching us, not just through their words, but through their presence. We explore how to see beyond the surface presentation of other people and wonder "what gifts and qualities is this person showing me? How are they sweeping the path for me?" And we consider what it is to extend this practice beyond those we grieve for to all our relationships, as both an act of love and as a practice for cultivating a more connected, compassionate world around each of us. This week is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.This is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: Scripture gives us an extraordinary image: the names of the Twelve Apostles written on the foundation stones of the heavenly Jerusalem. Why would people who lived at a particular moment in human history have their names written into a vision of eternity? Frank Pavone explores the profound intersection between history and eternity and what it teaches us about our own lives. What we do here matters forever. God works through real people, real decisions, and real moments in history to accomplish his eternal purposes.

In a world overflowing with advice, it can be difficult to figure out what matters most. Thankfully, by studying the foundational principles that Jesus used to start His ministry, we can identify exactly what we need to prioritize in our lives. Join us for our new series entitled, Foundations, and discover the most important keys to thriving spiritually.Let us know you're here!

Over the past three episodes, I had a very special guest; Kevin Ford, the former CEO of Calian. Our previous conversations trace a powerful progression from self-leadership to connecting with others. In the final episode of this series, we explore how a profound sense of purpose united by a set of core values truly anchors an organization. Our discussion moves beyond corporate clichés, as we dig into how purpose statements can resonate from the C-suite to every desk and production floor, and why stories, not slogans, are the secret to unlocking commitment and pride. Listeners will also find practical insights on transforming company values from static posters into lived behaviors, using transparency, feedback, and authentic leadership. This journey ultimately challenges every leader to reflect on the following question: Are your company's values visible in the daily experience, or just in the posters on the wall?Through the lens of firsthand leadership stories, our conversation examines the risks of focusing only on financial metrics and offers powerful reminders that true value is created when people are proud not just of their work, but of its impact. Tactics like regular storytelling, open surveys, and clear expectations set the stage for a culture where integrity, respect, and community involvement drive both performance, engagement and well-being.For leaders and teams navigating the complexity of today's business world, this episode serves as both an inspiration and a toolkit for embedding purpose and values that last.What You'll Learn- The Power of Purpose-Driven Organizations.- Developing and Communicating Core Values.- Storytelling as a Leadership Tool.- Metrics Matter: Move Beyond Just the Financials.- Balancing Performance and Values.- Navigating Personal and Organizational Values Misalignment.- The Ongoing Practice of Authentic Leadership.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) - Introduction to Part 3: The Road We Travelled with an Introduction to Purpose and Values(03:04) - Defining Purpose in Organizations(05:25) - Developing and Living a Purpose Statement(09:28) - The Tangible Benefits of Purpose-Driven Organizations(13:45) - Strategies for Building a Purpose-Driven Culture(18:36) - Defining and Living Core Values(23:06) - Ensuring Alignment Between Stated and Lived Values(27:05) - Balancing Performance Pressures with Values(35:06) - Navigating Personal vs. Organizational Value Misalignment(41:00) - Final Reflections on the Foundations of Positive LeadershipKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Purpose-Driven Organization, Core Values, Empathy, Transparency, Respect, Candor, Organizational Culture, Community Involvement, Storytelling, Company Mission, Organizational Alignment, Values Drift, Employee Motivation, Behavioral Anchors, Values-Based Leadership, Organizational Trust, Accountability, Purpose and Values Integration, Lived Values, CEO Success

Homeschooling isn't just about academics. It's about shaping character, habits, and family culture in the everyday moments. In this conversation with Erin from Gentle + Classical Press, we talk about what the early years can look like without the pressure of early academics, how to raise children who know how to use their free time well, and why consistency matters more than perfection.

If you've spent months—or years—researching fertility, changing your diet, adjusting your workouts, tracking every symptom, and trying to figure out why your body still isn't ovulating or getting pregnant, more information probably isn't what you're missing. What you need is to understand what your body specifically needs to restore fertility. In this episode of the Nourished Fertility Podcast, I'm sharing a section from a recent live training where I break down the five foundations we use with our clients to support ovulation, healthy cycles, and your body's ability to get and stay pregnant. We'll walk through our five-step approach: Reignite your metabolism Replenish nutrients Regulate your nervous system Repair your gut Restore healthy hormones You'll learn why hormone imbalances are often the final domino to fall, the signs your body may need more support in each of these areas, and why personalized testing can help uncover what's actually keeping your fertility stuck. Whether you're navigating period loss, irregular cycles, PCOS/PMOS, unexplained infertility, low AMH, POI, or preparing for IVF, this episode will help you think beyond simply "fixing your hormones" and start looking at the foundations underneath them. And if you're ready for personalized support, applications for the Nourished Fertility Method, our six-month fertility program, are open. Apply here.
