Mattie Rhodes Art and Cultural Center is located at 1701 Jarboe, KCMO www.mattierhodes.org BETSABEÉ ROMERO- Knitting Ties, Project Description: The installation features the creation of two sculptural soccer goals with nets crafted from metal lattices. These lattices will showcase characters that represent both soccer and the pre-Hispanic ball game, creating a bridge between contemporary sports and ancient cultural traditions. The metallic lattices will be interwoven with threads of various fibers, with the characters cut along the length and width of each goal's net. All elements will be handcrafted by migrants and local artisans, emphasizing community collaboration and cultural exchange. Elements of the Sculptural Objective: Metallic Lattices-metal cutouts are interconnected in a lattice configuration, forming modular structures that provide a sculptural foundation for artistic interventions. Community Networks-Fabrics crafted by volunteers and artisans interweave with lattices, forming distinctive patterns that narrate the stories of their communities. Athletic Emblems-Symbolic figures associated with soccer are integrated into the sculptural design, linking artistic expression with the passion for football.

Caroline Bourgeault, a Ninja Realtor® in Pueblo, Colorado, became the #1 agent in her market in just two and a half years. A mother of four (including a newborn) and a recent Ninja Installation graduate, Caroline shares how intentionality, discipline, and deep care for her "extended family" of clients have fueled her rapid rise, without a traditional assistant. Caroline, originally from Australia and now thriving in Pueblo, Colorado, has built a high-production, relationship-based business on pace for 100 transactions in 2025, following 91 transactions in her first full year. She discovered Ninja through the Ninja Selling book, then flew to the Installation seven months pregnant, choosing to double down on her commitment by also enrolling in Ninja Coaching with Steve Mangelson. Shortly after her Installation, Caroline experienced a complicated C-section and a ruptured uterus, yet she continued her affirmations, gratitudes, and even wrote contracts from the hospital. Guided by her mantra of "God and gratitude before the grind," she built work/life harmony by scheduling what matters most first: breastfeeding, family, mindset, then layering her Ninja Nine and client work around those priorities. Caroline treats her 350-person database as extended family, organizing detailed FORD notes and staying in consistent flow through texts, personalized touches, and thoughtfully designed 8-in-8 campaigns. She also leverages housewarming parties, staging expertise, and hyper-personal gifts to make real estate deeply relational, not transactional. Steve adds powerful insight into how her success comes not from tactics alone, but from who she has become: a person whose business is simply an expression of service and love. Key Takeaways Momentum Is Consistency, Not Noise: Caroline's success is built on the belief that "momentum isn't loud, it's consistent," and that small, steady habits compound. Ninja Your Way: She customizes Ninja, leaning on staging skills, math strengths, and an internal scoreboard for her Ninja Nine. Database as Extended Family: Her 350-person "extended family" is tracked with detailed FORD notes and regularly updated insights, not just static contact records. Structured 8-in-8 Follow-Up: After meeting someone (often at a housewarming party), she runs a pre-planned eight-touch sequence of texts, calls, reviews, and face-to-face meetings. Housewarming Parties as Flow Engines: Streamlined, repeatable celebrations for buyers deepen relationships, generate introductions, and create natural reasons to stay in flow. Work–Life Harmony Through Scheduling: "Priorities don't fight for space; they get scheduled," she built her calendar around feeding a newborn, family, mindset, and then business. Service as the Business Model: Caroline's guiding question is: How can I use this to serve more people? The relationship itself is the leverage. Memorable Quotes "Momentum isn't loud. It's consistent." "Discipline doesn't disappear, it adapts." "God and gratitude before the grind." "Priorities don't fight for space; they get scheduled." "Show up, serve up, and keep swimming." "This is not transactional, this is relational." "If you love on people, you will serve them like no other."

The people of Ballyea have made a submission to the Ennis Travel Plan to continue the pathway/cycle lane past Edenvale up the Kilmorane Hill on the N68 Kilrush road to the turn off for Ballyea. This 1 Km section is described as extremely dangerous for walkers and cyclists to access the town. Their request was not successful in getting advanced at this time as it was outside the limited area the Plan covers. Locals are now looking for a hard shoulder to be installed on this 1km section between Edenvale and Ballyea cross. To find out more, Pat Meaney, who is the Chairperson Ballyea Community Text Alert Group and Susan Griffin, Ballyea resident spoke with Alan Morrissey on Wednesday's Morning Focus.

Interview with Alan Wyley of EnergyCloud by Billy Linehan from AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas At AWS re:Invent this week, I sat down with Alan Wyley, CEO of EnergyCloud, to talk about one of the most ambitious social energy projects in Ireland. What unfolded was a conversation about technology, poverty, energy policy and the practical ways Ireland can use wasted renewable energy to heat homes. This article is part of a series of interviews from AWS re:Invent for Irish Tech News. A career that blends tech and social impact Alan's career has followed an unusual path for a tech entrepreneur in Ireland. Trained as a chartered accountant, looking back he commented "I didn't last long at that, and so I went into tech early on." He helped scale two CRM companies, including one acquired by Sage. Later he was brought into EuroCommerce, a payments software business serving airlines and the travel industry, and helped scale and sell it twice, the final time to MasterCard. Between these ventures he repeatedly stepped away for one or two years. "When I'm in, I'm in," he told me. "Seven days a week. Then I stop. I take time out. Personal development matters. My family matters. I didn't want to be one dimensional." Running parallel to his commercial life is a long commitment to support organisations with a community focus. He has chaired Barnardos, chaired the board of the Darndale Belcamp Village Centre, and today chairs Southside Partnership. "I've been volunteering since I was 16. I have a social conscience and I've always been interested in tackling issues around deprivation, poverty and early intervention." Why EnergyCloud was the right next step One morning perusing LinkedIn, he saw an advert for a CEO job. EnergyCloud at that time was little more than an idea, with no staff and very limited funding. But the mission caught him. "It was perfect," he said. "A startup mindset, a social problem, and a way to use my skills." EnergyCloud's core proposition is simple: take surplus renewable energy that Ireland currently wastes and redirect it to households that are in energy poverty. "Our mission is to end energy poverty. Not ease it, not reduce it. End it." Most of this surplus is wind energy. According to Alan, Ireland curtailed roughly 10.5 percent of its wind output last year. Solar curtailment is rising too. In the Northern Ireland, curtailment is even worse. "It's wasted. All paid for by taxpayers." EnergyCloud began in Ireland and is the first of its kind. Sister initiatives in Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Germany have since followed the Irish model. What is energy curtailment? Curtailment is the intentional reduction of power generation (like wind or solar) or consumption to balance electricity supply and demand on the grid, preventing instability, overloads, or blackouts, often happening when renewables produce too much energy for the grid to handle, leading to wasted power. The scale of the problem Alan cited an ESRI estimate of 550,000 households are in energy poverty. That is about one and a half million people. These households spend more than ten percent of their net income on energy. Ireland also has some of the highest electricity prices in Europe. "And last year," Alan said, "we wasted 450 million euro of renewable energy. This year, from January to September alone, 341 million. That's 1.4 million euro a day." A simple device with immediate impact The technology is disarmingly straightforward: a smart immersion controller installed in a hot water tank. "We connect to the public EirGrid signals. When curtailment is happening, we switch on the device. The resident wakes up with a free tank of hot water." Installation takes about an hour and costs around 500 euro per home. The difference for families is significant. "These households often never turn on the immersion. Now they tell us they can wash their kids properly again. They can clean with hot water. It can be transformative." At present, curtailment gives roughly...

This episode tackles the complex challenge of applying the hardware-centric clauses of ISO 13485 to Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). Adnan Ashfaq, founder of Simply Medica, joins Etienne Nichols to dissect how traditional standards intended for physical manufacturing must be creatively interpreted for the virtual world of software development, where apps update weekly and cloud-based systems evolve in real-time. The conversation zeroes in on the often-muddy areas of production and service provision (Clause 7.5), emphasizing that these clauses are far from non-applicable, requiring a "virtual manufacturing space" mindset.A significant focus is placed on the Software of Unknown Provenance (SOUP), treating these building blocks as purchased components that require robust supplier evaluation and validation, bridging Clause 7.5 (production) with Clause 7.4 (purchasing). The discussion extends to crucial concepts like the Software Bill of Materials (SBoM), the complexity of Agile vs. Waterfall approaches within the standard's framework, and the essential role of the new FDA Computer Software Assurance (CSA) guidance in risk assessment.Beyond production, the experts explore the application of resource management (Clause 6), specifically addressing infrastructure, contamination control (malware/ransomware), and the critical need for a well-documented Design Transfer to Production (Clause 7.3.8) evidenced by a complete software release package, including all 62304 requirements. The episode provides actionable insights for quality and compliance professionals struggling to maintain speed and innovation while strictly adhering to regulatory requirements.Key Timestamps01:45 - The changing landscape: Why traditional MedTech rules struggle with modern software updates.03:50 - Historical context of ISO 13485 and its non-distinction between hardware/software.05:05 - Starting Point: Clause 7.5 (Production and Service Provision) and the "Virtual Manufacturing Space" concept.06:20 - Unpacking Software of Unknown Provenance (SOUP) and its link to Clause 7.4 (Purchasing).08:35 - The necessity of validating the development environment (GitHub/GitLab) and building blocks.11:10 - Applying Clause 4.1.6 (Software Validation) to SOUP items and master validation plans.12:20 - Applicable vs. Non-Applicable Clauses: Sterilization/Cleanliness vs. Installation.13:55 - Clause 4.2.3 (Medical Device File) for SaMD: E-labels, UDI, System Architecture, and SBoM.16:30 - Cybersecurity controls and the manufacturer's responsibility for identifying state-of-the-art standards.17:35 - Defining "Production" for continuously updating software and managing significant vs. non-significant changes.20:15 - Clash of Standards: Agile development, ISO 13485, and the missing documentation for version control risk assessment.21:30 - Clause 6.3 & 6.4 (Resource & Work Environment): Looking at data security, access controls, and contamination (malware/ransomware).24:45 - Clause 7.3.8 (Design Transfer to Production): The need for a formal software release package and the importance of the Software Design Trace Matrix.26:00 - The 16 essential documents needed to meet IEC 62304 requirements.27:10 - Production controls when the user influences the outcome (customizable features,...

This sermon from nineteenth-century American Presbyterian pastor John Lafayette Girardeau, D.D. (1825-98) is on 1 Timothy 1:11 and was preached in Columbia, SC on May 4, 1860 on the occasion of the ordination of the Rev. F. P. Mullally and the Installation of Rev. J. H. Thornwell, D. D., and Rev. F. P. Mullally as Co-Pastors of the First Presbyterian Church.

On Wednesday, the government withdrew a mandate requiring smartphone makers to preload the Sanchar Saathi on all new devices. Several privacy advocates had raised concerns over how the app may impact users' rights. What were these concerns and what are some of the challenges that still remain. Founder of MediaNama, Nikhil Pahwa explains, in conversation with Senior Assistant Editor, Apoorva Mandhani.

Setting up Linux Mint with Custom LVM and Luks Linux Mint with Custom LVM on LUKS Overview The current Linux Mint installer doesn't support custom partitions when setting up a new machine with LUKS encryption using LVM. I prefer having a separate partition for my home directory and a backup partition for Timeshift, so that reinstalling or fixing issues won't overwrite my home directory. I found several approaches to achieve this. One method involves setting up partitions first and then using the installer to select them, but this requires extensive post-installation configuration to get boot working with the encrypted drive. I discovered this blog which explains how to repartition your drive after installation. Combined with my guide on setting up hibernation, I created this documentation to help remember how to install a fresh copy of Linux Mint with LVM and LUKS. Tested on: Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Partition Layout For this guide, I'm working with a 1TB drive that will be split into the following logical volumes: Root - 100GB (system files and applications) Swap - 32GB (for hibernation support) Home - 700GB (user files and documents) Backup - 100GB (Timeshift snapshots) Unallocated - ~68GB (reserved for future expansion) This setup ensures that system snapshots and user data remain separate, making system recovery much easier. Installation Guide Step 1: Initial Linux Mint Installation Start the Linux Mint installation process as normal: Boot from your Linux Mint installation media Follow the installation wizard (language, keyboard layout, etc.) When you reach the Installation type screen: Select "Erase disk and install Linux Mint" Click "Advanced features" Enable both options: ✓ Use LVM with the new Linux Mint installation ✓ Encrypt the new Linux Mint installation for security Click Continue Enter a strong encryption password when prompted Complete the rest of the installation (timezone, user account, etc.) When installation finishes, do NOT click "Restart Now" - we'll repartition first Important: Do NOT reboot after installation completes. We need to repartition before the first boot. Step 2: Access Root Terminal After installation finishes, open a terminal and switch to root: sudo -i This gives you administrative privileges needed for disk operations. Step 3: Check Current Disk Layout View your current partition structure: lsblk -f This displays your filesystem layout. You should see your encrypted volume group (typically vgmint) with a large root partition consuming most of the space. Step 4: Resize Root Partition Shrink the root partition from its default size (nearly full disk) to 100GB: lvresize -L 100G --resizefs vgmint/root What this does: -L 100G sets the logical volume size to exactly 100GB --resizefs automatically resizes the filesystem to match This frees up ~900GB for our other partitions Step 5: Resize Swap Partition The default swap is usually small (a few GB). We need to increase it to 32GB for hibernation: lvresize --verbose -L +32G /dev/mapper/vgmint-swap_1 What this does: -L +32G adds 32GB to the current swap size --verbose shows detailed progress information This ensures enough swap space for RAM contents during hibernation Note: For hibernation to work, swap should be at least equal to your RAM size. Adjust accordingly. Step 6: Create Home Partition Create a new logical volume for your home directory: lvcreate -L 700G vgmint -n home What this does: -L 700G creates a 700GB logical volume vgmint is the volume group name -n home names the new volume "home" Step 7: Create Backup Partition Create a logical volume for Timeshift backups: lvcreate -L 100G vgmint -n backup What this does: Creates a dedicated 100GB space for system snapshots Keeps backups separate from user data Prevents backups from filling up your home partition Step 8: Format New Partitions Format both new partitions with the ext4 filesystem: mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/backup mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/home What this does: Creates ext4 filesystems on both logical volumes ext4 is the standard Linux filesystem with good performance and reliability Step 9: Mount Partitions Create mount points and mount your partitions: mkdir /mnt/{root,home} mount /dev/vgmint/root /mnt/root/ mount /dev/vgmint/home /mnt/home/ What this does: Creates temporary directories to access the filesystems Mounts root and home so we can configure them Step 10: Move Home Directory Contents Move the existing home directory contents from the root partition to the new home partition: mv /mnt/root/home/* /mnt/home/ What this does: Transfers all user files and directories from the old location to the new home partition Preserves your user account settings and any files created during installation Without this step, your home directory would be empty on first boot Step 11: Update fstab Add the home partition to the system's fstab file so it mounts automatically at boot: echo "/dev/mapper/vgmint-home /home ext4 defaults 0 2" >> /mnt/root/etc/fstab What this does: Appends a mount entry to /etc/fstab Ensures /home partition mounts automatically at startup The 0 2 values enable filesystem checks during boot Step 12: Clean Up and Prepare for Reboot Unmount the partitions and deactivate the volume group: umount /mnt/root umount /mnt/home swapoff -a lvchange -an vgmint What this does: Safely unmounts all mounted filesystems Turns off swap Deactivates the volume group to prevent conflicts Ensures everything is properly closed before reboot Step 13: Reboot Now you can safely reboot into your new system: reboot Enter your LUKS encryption password at boot, then log in normally. Verification After rebooting, verify your partition setup: lsblk -f df -h You should see: Root (/) mounted with ~100GB Home (/home) mounted with ~700GB Swap available with 32GB Backup partition ready for Timeshift configuration Setting Up Timeshift To complete your backup solution: Install Timeshift (if not already installed): sudo apt install timeshift Launch Timeshift and select RSYNC mode Choose the backup partition as your snapshot location Configure your backup schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) Create your first snapshot Additional Resources Original blog post on LVM rearrangement Setting up hibernation on Linux Mint Conclusion This setup gives you the best of both worlds: the security of full-disk encryption with LUKS, and the flexibility of custom LVM partitions. Your home directory and system backups are now isolated, making system recovery and upgrades much safer and more manageable. Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Setting up a fresh Linux Mint installation can be time-consuming, especially when you want to replicate your perfect development environment. This guide will show you how to automate the entire process using Ansible and configuration backups, so you can go from a fresh install to a fully configured system in minutes. Why Automate Your Setup? Whether you're setting up a new machine, recovering from a system failure, or just want to maintain consistency across multiple computers, automation offers several key benefits: Time Savings: What normally takes hours can be done in minutes Consistency: Identical setup across all your machines Documentation: Your setup becomes self-documenting Recovery: Quick recovery from system failures Reproducibility: Never forget to install that one crucial tool again Discovering Your Installed Applications Before creating your automation setup, you need to identify which applications you've manually installed since the initial OS installation. This helps you build a complete picture of your custom environment. Finding APT and .deb Packages To see all manually installed packages (excluding those that came with the OS): comm -23

 Entamoeba histolytica nearly ended Ron Blutrich's scientific career. Instead, it pushed him to rethink how we protect people in multi-family buildings, senior facilities, and dense urban centers from invisible microbiological risks in their drinking water. In this episode, he joins host Trace Blackmore to unpack what whole-building UV can (and can't) do for Legionella, biofilm, and real-world water safety.  When One Bad Cup of Water Redefines a Career  In the middle of his PhD in molecular genetics, Ron drank from an under-sink reverse osmosis tap at an Airbnb and contracted Entamoeba histolytica. The infection triggered more than three years of severe gastrointestinal symptoms and a 100-pound weight loss, despite being "clinically cured." That experience—and the lack of clear answers—led him to dig into how governments, utilities, and buildings actually manage microbiological risk in water. He discovered that even in urban centers, there is "a lot left to be desired" in monitoring, guidelines, and the epidemiology of waterborne disease.  UV at the Point of Entry: Why Medium Pressure Matters  Ron explains why he chose UV as the primary disinfection tool for CLEAR's whole-building solutions. He contrasts conventional filters (carbon, RO, media) that remove contaminants but do not kill biology with UV systems that directly target DNA and other cellular structures. He walks through the differences between low-pressure and medium-pressure UV, including temperature independence for hot water recirculation and the broader wavelength spectrum that can damage DNA, proteins, membranes, and even DNA repair enzymes. That same technology is being used for multicellular control in marine environments, ballast water, and mollusk control, and Ron argues it is uniquely suited to domestic hot water systems facing Legionella and biofilm.  Legionella, Biofilm, and the Limits of "Good Enough"  Drawing from CLEAR's field work, Ron describes how often Legionella shows up in single homes, condos, and new buildings, and how standard practices typically focus on remediation and short-term clearance instead of long-term prevention. He highlights the gap between ASHRAE 188's recommendations for hot water temperatures and real constraints in senior housing, where anti-scalding concerns keep tanks too cool to reliably control Legionella. He also shares stories of property managers and public agencies reluctant to test because they lack cost-effective treatment options or don't want to confront what the data might show.  Scaling UV from Towers to Single Homes  Ron walks through why conventional media and RO systems don't scale well to large towers—footprint, cost, and pressure loss—and how CLEAR instead installs inline UV systems at the point of entry. These systems can handle up to roughly 2,000 gallons per minute, require minimal head loss, and are designed as a single point of installation and service. From there, he explains how his team layered on monitoring and a tenant-facing dashboard so that properties can see UV dose, transmittance, and flow in real time, and service can be triggered based on performance instead of fixed schedules. He also discusses emerging opportunities in UV LEDs and next-generation media that could make fully comprehensive point-of-entry treatment feasible in more buildings.  For leaders responsible for building portfolios, senior living, or high-density residential properties, this conversation offers a rigorous look at what it really takes to move from "we hope the water is fine" to a defensible, data-backed stance on microbiological safety.  Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps  04:59 - Trace talks about skipping turkey and ham this year and explains his usual turkey-stock "ice cube" tradition  13:59 - Trace introduces today's lab partner, Ron Blutrich of Clear Inc., and sets up the UV-in-buildings topic  13:03 – Events page shout out   10:57 - Water You Know with James McDonald  16:21 – Drinking from an under-sink RO line at an Airbnb, contracting Entamoeba Histolytica  19:15 - Why unmaintained RO and carbon filters can increase microbiological risk  23:27 - UV to keep post-UV systems cleaner   34:51 – Installation  40:23 – Cyanotoxins, Great Lakes algal blooms, and using medium-pressure UV to denature toxins, not just microbes  43:31 – Ron's current habits  48:08 – Future Opportunities: UV LEDs   49:04 – Multi-spectral UV LED arrays    Quotes "And what I learned really changed my life, because what I understood is that even in urban settings, not just in remote communities, there's a lot left to be desired when it comes to water quality, water quality treatment, guidelines, monitoring" - Ron Blutrich  "I think that in general, we need to understand with our eyes open exactly what it is that we do when we treat." - Ron Blutrich  "So generally, there's a lot left to be desired in terms of what we're trying to do for Legionella. It turns out that Legionella is extremely susceptible to UV. Legionella can be reduced almost 6 logs with most conventional UV systems" - Ron Blutrich  "So, at this point, our UV systems, it's an inline system. It's basically a section of pipe that happens to disinfect the water going through it. It's a single point of installation, a single point of service. There's no head loss, there's no pressure loss" - Ron Blutrich    Connect with Ron Blutrich Email: ron@clear.inc  Website: Clear - UV Treated Purified Water at Point of Entry  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-blutrich-50262b2a3/     Guest Resources Mentioned  ORIGINS OF ORDER: Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution by Stuart Kauffman  Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space by Carl Sagan  Clear Inc – Whole-Building UV Water Purification  Entamoeba histolytica Infection  CDC Household Water Treatment   EPA Guidance Manual: Filtration and Disinfection Requirements  WQA Guidance for Sanitizing Residential Treatment Systems  Application of Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes (UV-LED) to Full-Scale Drinking-Water Disinfection  Wilderness Medical Society Clinical Practice Guidelines on Water Treatment for Wilderness, International Travel, and Austere Situations    Scaling UP!

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! There's news from the wind industry this week. And for once... the headlines tell a story of growth. Down in Hidalgo County, Texas... something worth celebrating happened this week. Terra-Gen commissioned the Monte Cristo ONE Windpower Project. Two hundred thirty-eight-point-five megawatts. Fully operational. The wind facility will generate more than 850 gigawatt-hours of clean electricity every year. Enough to power roughly 81,000 homes. And the power? Already sold. Long-term purchase agreements with two corporate customers. Construction created about 280 jobs at peak activity. More than 490,000 work hours. Not one lost-time incident. They upgraded 11 miles of state roads. Twenty-five miles of county roads. Over its lifetime... the project will deliver more than 100 million dollars to the local community. Property taxes. Landowner payments. Other economic contributions. "It is an honor," said John O'Connor, Chief Financial Officer for Terra-Gen, "to celebrate the hard work and dedication of the hundreds of men and women who made the commissioning of the Monte Cristo wind project possible." Meanwhile... halfway around the world in the Philippines... the government just awarded approvals for more than 10 gigawatts of renewable power. That's ten-point-two gigawatts, to be exact. One hundred twenty-three winning bidders. Solar. Storage. And wind. Onshore wind alone claimed two-point-five gigawatts of that capacity. Twenty-one projects. All set to deliver power by 2029. The Philippines is targeting 50 percent renewable generation by 2040. And they're not waiting around. The "overwhelming response," said the department of energy, "reflects the growing confidence of investors." Back in Europe... in Germany... Nordex is making moves. The turbine manufacturer just secured orders for 123 megawatts from Denkerwulf. Twenty-five onshore wind turbines. Installation begins in 2027. Commissioning in 2028. And Nordex shares? They're climbing. Hit a multi-year high this week. Trading at 28 euros and 2 cents. Denkerwulf'S orders for Nordex in 2025 now total nearly 144 megawatts. And last week... Mingyang signed a contract with ORE Catapult... a state-owned British test center. They're going to test main bearings for Mingyangs offshore 18.5MW turbines in the United Kingdom. "A major milestone," said Mingyang'S chief technology officer for Europe, Marc Sala. "A decisive breakthrough for our local operations." Mingyang has big plans for Britain. One-point-five billion pounds in investments. Half for factories. Half for the offshore wind supply chain. Now... over at Siemens Gamesa... things are looking up. The wind business has been struggling. Over four fiscal years... losses totaled eight-point-six billion euros. But Chief Executive Officer Christian Bruch confirmed this week... they're still targeting profitability by 2027. Break-even by 2026. Revenue for full-year 2025 rose 5 percent to ten-point-three-seven-five billion euros. Losses improved slightly. "The journey towards profitability is going to take time," said Chief Financial Officer Maria Ferraro. "But I think the team is doing a great job." They expect a positive fourth quarter in 2026. So there you have it. The wind industry is pushing forward. Two hundred thirty-eight-point-five megawatts commissioned in Texas. One hundred twenty-three projects approved in the Philippines. One hundred twenty-three megawatts ordered in Germany. Eighteen-point-five megawatt turbines heading to Britain for testing. And Siemens Gamesa ... now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. The numbers tell the story. Things are beginning to stabilize – and there's hope for the future. That's the state of the wind industry on the 17th of November 2025. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast.

Inside the Boros Collection bunker, listening to a sound installation of distorted bells on a speaker suspended by chains, made by Eliza Douglas. The space has a fascinating past as a shelter, a prison for political prisoners, and a techno and sex club - and now it hosts a conceptual art exhibition. The sound captures both the muffled sounds of museum-goers on one side, and the passage of air and the sounds from Berlin outside on the other. Recorded in Berlin by Cities and Memory, September 2025.

A remarkable fog installation in the sculpture garden of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, by Fujiko Nakaya. This site-specific installation activates once per hour, and fills the garden with vaporous fog, playing with the architecture of Mies van der Rohe. Fog formations emerge from different sides of the garden, blending with the trees and permanent sculptures, before slowly dissolving into the sky.  The moving fog appears at various densities, at times at a nearly tangible volume, at others as a translucent veil. And it's an interesting sonic experience too - and fascinating to be the only person there focusing on the sounds, instead of the remarkable sights.  Recorded by Cities and Memory. 

Die Zeit der Geister & Dämonen ist wieder angebrochen. Woran man das merkt? Der Nebel hängt dicht über den Feldern, die schwarze Nacht raubt den Tag nun wieder früher, & egal zu welcher Tageszeit man aus dem Fenster schaut, erblickt man das, was Klaas' Jugendfreund Torben einst „Akte-X-Wetter“ nannte. Das alles alleine wäre allerdings nur Indiz für die Vermutung, dass wir uns kalendarisch am Ende des Oktobers befinden. Für einen Beweis braucht es unbedingt noch die Information, dass es bei Schmitt zuhause wieder Orange, Grün & Rot leuchtet, der Rest vom Haus praktisch in einem Cocoon aus Sprüh-Spinnenweben verschwunden ist & neben der Haustür Süßigkeiten in Großmarktportionen bereits liegen. Um wenigstens an Halloween mal etwas in den sozialen Austausch zu geraten, feilt Thomas Jahr für Jahr an der perfekten Installation einer Kinderanlockmaschine, damit er dann bei jedem Besuch der gruseligen Kleinen ein onkeliges Schaudern aufführen kann, das ihm so eine Freude macht. Gerade noch rechtzeitig fiel auch Jakob noch ein, dass letzte Woche Halloween war, denn alleine nur, weil ein abscheuliches Wesen an der Tür klingelt & einem sagt, dass man entweder die Bonbons rausrücken oder man anderenfalls „halt umgebracht“ würde, ist in Berlin nicht unbedingt ein eindeutiger Hinweis darauf, dass es sich um Trick or Treat handelt. Klaas, der zeitgleich nicht im Lande war, sondern in seinem Norddeutschland-Experience-Island „Wangerouge“, welches er vor einigen Jahren in den Emiraten ins Meer schütten ließ, nach dem Rechten schauen musste, blieb dennoch nicht ganz unbetroffen. Per präzise ausgeführtem Hexenschuss war nun auch sein Platz im Gruselkabinett gesichert & die Erkenntnis erlangt, dass nicht alle Krankheiten der Erde mit heißen Handtüchern aus der Mikrowelle zu behandeln sind.

Every sales professional has a horror story that still makes them break out in a cold sweat years later. The deal that imploded spectacularly. The customer interaction that went sideways in ways you couldn't predict. The moment you sat in your car afterward in complete silence, questioning every decision that led you to this career. These moments feel intensely personal and isolating. But the truth is, every rep who's lasted in this profession has been there. On an episode of The Sales Gravy Podcast, Ashley Blount and I collected nightmare sales stories from our years in the automotive and telecommunications industries, plus stories from the sales community. We found 16 tales that prove no one faces this alone. Here are some of the most terrifying. Smelly Dave: The Angel of Death This sales horror story comes from the automotive industry, posted on Reddit by someone who still sounds traumatized. Dave started at the dealership after Sears closed. We found out he'd been the “Angel of Death” at several franchises—Sears, Future Shop, RadioShack. Every place he touched eventually shut down. Dave was in his early 40s, wore the same shirt with the same coffee stain on it every single day, and smelled terribly. Customers would flee after test drives, refusing to come back into the building with him. On one occasion, a customer was dry heaving. Management tried to delicately bring up the hygiene issue, but Dave wouldn't listen. One day, the manager was told to drop off a sold vehicle to a customer, and Dave drove the chase car. As they returned together, the smell in that enclosed space was so unbearable that the manager walked into the boss's office afterward and apologized for whatever he had done to deserve that punishment. The boss laughed, called Dave in, and fired him on the spot. The Bluetooth Incident That Still Haunts Ashley Ashley had been selling cars for a few months when a sweet older couple came into the dealership. The husband was retiring, probably late 60s, and they were one of those rare couples who were actually pleasant to work with. He picked out a lime green Ford Fiesta for his retirement car. They completed the test drive, finished all the paperwork, and Ashley sent the vehicle back to get ready for delivery. When delivering a new vehicle, you always get in with the customer to help them connect their phone to Bluetooth and walk them through all the features. Since it was a couple, the husband was in the driver's seat, his wife was in the front passenger seat, and Ashley was sitting in the middle of the back seat. They got his phone connected to the Bluetooth, matched the code, and turned up the volume on the car. He went to open his phone. The most explicit, obscene audio you can imagine came blasting out of the speakers. Dead silence in that vehicle for what felt like forever. Ashley wished them well, exited the car, and walked back inside, mortified. When asked how it went, she told them the story and muttered, “I don't really want to follow up. I'm not sure that's appropriate.” The Telecom Contractors Who Started a Gunfight I had door-knocked a large hair salon and built a relationship with the salon owner, who also owned the building. He helped me get in the door with all four of his tenants. Because he was switching, they all switched. I closed three to four months of quota on this one deal because of what he did for me.  Installation day arrives. At 6 a.m., my phone rings. I try to sound as awake as possible with my gravelly morning voice, and the owner immediately screams, "Jeb, what the f**k?"
