You do the right things. You carry the weight. And somewhere along the way, the joy drained out. You just never said it out loud.Here's where this episode lands: you don't need to lighten the load. You need to refocus on the One you're carrying it for.In this episode of the Kavod Man of God Podcast, Justin Bohner and Travis Shook take on the question almost no man answers honestly: why are so many Christian men quietly miserable? Burned out, going through the motions, joyless in a life that's supposed to be marked by joy. They break it down into four men, and almost every one of us has been at least one of them.Inside this conversation:- The weary man: worn out from doing the right things, and why the answer is not a lighter load- The wayward man: how drift happens one small compromise at a time, and the treading-water trap that carries you five miles downriver- David, Bathsheba, and Psalm 51: what "restore to me the joy of your salvation" actually means- The lazy man: knowing the right thing and not doing it, and why abdication always breeds misery- Why the grace to carry your life is found on the other side of obedience, not on the other side of quitting- The man who never met Christ: when the emptiness at the top is telling you the truth- The rock in the shoe: why naming which man you are is half the battle- Tangible next steps: prayer, the Word, and turning your eyes back to Christ every single dayWhether you're worn down from doing everything right or you've quietly drifted further than you meant to, this conversation is the way back to joy."Restore to me the joy of your salvation." Psalm 51:12Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Act like men. Be strong. And let all that you do be done in love.———If this stirred something in you, don't just consume it. Live it. Then hand it to another man who needs it.Subscribe and walk with us every week as we call men up to who God made them to be.———→ Everything Kavod (articles, resources, programs): kavodfamilyministries.org/links→ Connect: info@kavodfamily.org

Im aktuellen Podcast spreche ich mit Dr. Guido Gehlen, Director Connected Car Services & Charging bei der Hyundai Connected Mobility. Guido ist promovierter Elektroingenieur und hat über zehn Jahre bei Vodafone im Bereich vernetzter Fahrzeuge gearbeitet. Heute verantwortet er bei Hyundai Connected Mobility den gesamten Charging-Bereich für Europa, und zwar in 43 Märkten. Wir reden über Vehicle-to-Grid: das Konzept, ein Elektroauto nicht nur als Verbraucher im Stromnetz zu betreiben, sondern als aktiven Teilnehmer. Hyundai hat diesen Weg schrittweise aufgebaut, von Vehicle-to-Load beim Ioniq 5 mit bis zu 3,6 kW für den Eigenverbrauch bis hin zu bidirektionalem AC-V2G mit bis zu 10 kW im Ioniq 9 und Ioniq 6, synchronisiert mit dem öffentlichen Netz. Wir gehen durch die technischen Entscheidungen dahinter: Warum hat sich Hyundai bewusst für AC statt für DC entschieden, obwohl einige Mitbewerber den anderen Weg gehen? Was bedeutet das für die Installationskosten und die Verbreitung im Heimbereich? Und warum wurde die gesamte Komplexität ins Fahrzeug verlagert, statt sie in die Ladeinfrastruktur zu verteilen? Ein zentrales Thema ist auch das Geschäftsmodell dahinter. Wer profitiert wie? Aggregatoren, die virtuelle Kraftwerke aus vernetzten Fahrzeugen aufbauen. Energieversorger, die Lastspitzen abfedern. Und Endkund:innen, die über Vergütungsmodelle von kostenlosem Laden bis zu direkten Kickbacks an dem entstehenden Energiewert beteiligt werden. Guido erklärt außerdem, warum die Sorge vor Akkuverschleiß durch V2G weitgehend unbegründet ist, welche regulatorischen Hürden in Deutschland inzwischen weggefallen sind und was das konkrete Pilotprojekt mit Vattenfall in den Niederlanden zeigen soll. Bis zu 40 Ioniq-9-Fahrzeuge nehmen dort teil, inklusive kostenloser Wallbox und 500 Euro Ladeguthaben. Ich habe aus dem Gespräch einiges mitgenommen, besonders den Blick auf die verschiedenen Ebenen, die gleichzeitig zusammenspielen müssen, damit V2G in der Fläche wirklich funktioniert: Fahrzeugtechnik, Infrastruktur, Regulatorik und das Nutzerverhalten. Guido ordnet das nüchtern und klar ein. Wer sich für die Zukunft des bidirektionalen Ladens interessiert, sollte diese Folge nicht verpassen.

Physical Performance Show – Episode 383 Show Notes In episode 383 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer sits down with Professor Franco Impellizzeri, one of the most influential and outspoken voices in athlete load management research, for a wide-ranging conversation on why "load management" is an old concept dressed up in new data, why the acute to chronic workload ratio (ACWR) never held up to scrutiny, and why context — not more metrics — is what separates good decision-making from noise. Show Sponsor: Pillar Performance continues to lead the way in sports nutrition through micro-nutrition innovation, now expanding into the Performance Health range. One of their newest releases, Collagen Repair, was developed with Gelita Laboratories (Germany) using a clinically trialled collagen peptide (Tendofort) to support tendon and ligament health in conditions like hamstring tendinopathy, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and patellofemoral pain.

Pogo Physio also offers online Telehealth Consultations for endurance athletes managing bone, tendon, or joint issues — book online at pogophysio.com.au.   Professor Franco Impellizzeri's work can be explored here: https://profiles.uts.edu.au/Franco.Impellizzeri And... https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=z35F1WAAAAAJ&hl=en   Listen in as we delve into the following: What "load management" actually means, and why it's a relabelling of concepts coaches have wrestled with since the 1930s–40s The double-edged sword of the data revolution: from heart rate monitors to today's GPS, wearables, and AI-driven analytics Commercial and career incentives behind pushing metrics — both from tech companies and researchers Confirmation bias and why interpreting data without a theoretical framework is "like reading tarot" The case against the acute to chronic workload ratio (ACWR): its lack of scientific support despite IOC endorsement A landmark runners' study showing the opposite relationship between ACWR and injury risk — and what that reveals about the field Why meta-analyses and systematic reviews in load research can be manipulated to "find whatever you like" The difference between using a metric personally versus promoting it as scientifically validated Why the most skilled clinicians tend to hold their conclusions with the least certainty A real-world case study: a soccer training drill "failure" that was actually a video-monitoring blind spot, not a bad drill The expanding role of data scientists in sport, and why interpretation — not collection — is the real skill gap Whether AI and machine learning can (or should) replace the sports scientist's judgement Individualised and personalised training approaches — and why even these are still built on group-level generalisations Distinguishing signal from noise, and why one "failed" intervention doesn't mean an athlete won't respond next time Practical advice for coaches and practitioners: accept uncertainty, treat training like a "trial of therapy," and reassess If he could track only one metric: heart rate (or perceived effort) over power The push for more honest scientific debate — including a proposed on-air "intellectual sparring" series with dissenting researchers   Quotes: "Understanding the quantity of training for athletes has been a hot topic since training methodology started... managing load is not new." — Professor Franco Impellizzeri "When you don't have a theoretical framework and an a priori idea strong and supported, it's like reading tarot, to be honest." — Professor Franco Impellizzeri "There's zero evidence that this metric can either help or can actually reflect some sort of mechanism." — Professor Franco Impellizzeri, on the acute to chronic workload ratio "Don't take yourself too seriously." — Professor Franco Impellizzeri   Timeline: 00:00 – Introduction: host's specialist physio training and the load management "viva" question 01:04 – What is load management?

https://jo.my/fuzawhTrailer Inspection and Dock SafetyA trailer can look solid from the dock and still hide a serious failure underneath. One weak floorboard, damaged support, or missed restraint can turn a normal loading task into a collapse.That's why trailer inspection is more than a glance. It protects drivers, forklift operators, dock workers, equipment, and every person nearby. Be sure to slow the job down long enough to spot danger before the trailer moves, drops, shifts, or fails.Here are a few tips to assist you with trailer inspection and safety:Check the trailer floor before entry. Look for cracks, sagging boards, water damage, holes, loose panels, and signs of rot. Watch for soft spots near the rear doors and along forklift travel paths. If the floor flexes, feels weak, or looks damaged, stop. Keep people and equipment out until the trailer is cleared.Inspect the trailer structure. Check the walls, roof, frame, landing gear, and rear impact guard. Look for bent metal, broken welds, major rust, or damage from a previous impact. A trailer may hold its shape while empty but fail under a loaded forklift.Control nose-diving. A trailer can tip forward when too much weight moves into the nose without proper support. Confirm the tractor is connected or approved trailer stands are in place. Load weight evenly and follow the facility's loading plan.Prevent tip-over and trailer movement. Verify the trailer is level, stable, and properly positioned at the dock. Check the dock plate or leveler before use. Never assume the trailer will stay still because it looks secure.Use wheel chocks with automatic restraints. Automatic restraints can fail, miss the rear impact guard, or be released by mistake. Wheel chocks add another layer of protection. Confirm they are placed correctly before loading begins.As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Trailer failures rarely give a polite warning. They happen fast. Loud. Violent. Preventable.The safest crews don't trust appearances. They verify the floor. They verify the structure. They verify the restraint. Then they verify it again before the first forklift crosses the dock plate.That extra minute can prevent a crushed worker, a dropped forklift, a damaged load, or a trailer on its nose. Build the habit now. Make inspection part of every trailer, every dock, every shift.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

Summary Dr. Tom Walters, a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist and the founder of Rehab Science, returns to talk through two of the most common complaints after 40: knee pain and back pain. We get into why rest alone rarely fixes either one, how cartilage actually gets its nutrients through movement, and how to tell a tendon problem from something deeper in the joint. Tom explains load management, the real reason most aches show up without a specific injury, walks through the red flags that mean you should see someone for back pain, and covers how stress and sleep feed into chronic pain. He also shares his three tactics for staying well: social support, exercise, and sleep.

Artificial intelligence is often discussed through models and GPUs. This episode looks beneath that surface, at the power delivery and networking required to make AI work at scale.Host Sriram Viswanathan speaks with Rajiv Khemani, a serial deep tech entrepreneur whose career has tracked several major infrastructure cycles: internet networking, cloud switching, blockchain compute and now AI networking. Khemani reflects on his early work at NetBoost and Intel, his operating role at Cavium, and the founding of Innovium, which Marvell agreed to acquire for $1.1 billion in 2021. He also explains how work on low-power blockchain silicon led his team toward the infrastructure demands created by generative AI.The discussion examines why incumbents often overlook emerging markets, why purpose-built hardware can outperform systems inherited from an earlier technology cycle, and how founders decide whether to keep financing a company or sell while the outcome remains attractive. Khemani describes the concentration risk of selling to a small number of hyperscalers, the fragility of semiconductor supply chains, and why leading-edge chip development now demands much larger balance sheets.The conversation then turns to AI's emerging bottlenecks. Large models require many accelerators to operate as one computer, making low-latency scale-up and scale-out networks central to performance. The episode explores heterogeneous compute, open networking standards, memory scarcity, AI's growing electricity demand, and the competition between AI and Bitcoin mining for energy. Speaker Profiles and LinksSriram Viswanathan: Founding Managing Partner, Celesta Capital — https://www.linkedin.com/in/onesriram/ Rajiv Khemani: Co-founder and Executive Chairman, Upscale AI; deep-tech entrepreneur and IIT Delhi alumnus LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivkhemani/ Profile and contribution to the IIT, Delhi, Yardi School of Artificial Intelligence : https://scai.iitd.ac.in/rajiv-khemani References Mentioned and Further ReadingUpscale AI : https://upscaleai.com/ Upscale AI Launch Announcement : https://upscaleai.com/press-release/ Velaura AI : https://velaura.ai/ Acquisition of Innovium and cloud data-centre switching rationale, Marvell: https://www.marvell.com/company/newsroom/marvell-to-acquire-innovium-accelerates-cloud-growth-with-expanded-ethernet-switching-portfolio.html Cavium combination and infrastructure semiconductor strategy, Marvell:  https://www.marvell.com/company/newsroom/marvell-and-cavium-to-combine-creating-an-infrastructure-solutions-powerhouse.html Energy and AI, International Energy Agency: https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-and-aiEnergy demand from AI, International Energy Agency: https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-and-ai/energy-demand-from-ai Tokenisation in the context of money and other assets, Bank for International Settlements : https://www.bis.org/cpmi/publ/d225.pdf Leveraging tokenisation for payments and financial transactions, Bank for International Settlements : https://www.bis.org/publ/othp92.pdf Collective communication for clusters exceeding 100,000 GPUs, Meta researchers : https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.20171 Load balancing for AI training workloads, UC Berkeley researchers : https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.21372 Reliability in large-scale machine-learning clusters : https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.21680 Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System : https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf Timestamps:[Timestamp] Chapter Title00:00 - Highlights and welcome02:28 - From IIT Delhi to Silicon Valley07:50 - Building Through Major Technology Waves10:19 - Why Incumbents Miss Emerging Markets And Where Start-Ups Win12:47 - Building Innovium for the Cloud19:37 - Supply Shocks and Strategic Exits27:28 - From Bitcoin Chips to AI30:09 - Bitcoin, Tokenisation and Energy42:37 - Agentic AI and Future Networks53:21 - Memory, Capital and Founder Resilience

LeBron at 41: The Sports Medicine Case for (and Against) Signing Him 6 to 8 Weeks: Perspectives in Sports Medicine Episode Summary: With LeBron James's free agency dominating headlines, the hosts break down what it actually means, medically, for a team to sign a 41-year-old former MVP — covering his historic longevity, his known injury history, and what a "physical" and medical clearance process looks like for a star with a well-documented body of wear and tear. They close with lighter East/West playoff predictions. Timestamps: 00:00 — Intro & disclaimer, plus setup: LeBron's free agency and reports he's drawing interest from multiple teams 02:30 — Career longevity in context: LeBron as the oldest active NBA player; discussion of how sports science, year-round body maintenance, and "load management" have extended elite athletes' careers over the last 10-15 years 05:00 — The record book: LeBron's all-time scoring record, games played, minutes — and a comparison to other players (Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry) who extended careers by reducing role/minutes 05:00–07:30 — His back issue: Discussion of LeBron's sciatica/low back pain, put in context — low back pain is the #1 reason people see a doctor in primary care, and in the vast majority of cases (including elite athletes) it's manageable with rest, load modification, and injections rather than surgery. Comparison to Larry Bird's back problems, and how differently that might be managed with today's medicine. 07:30–10:00 — Why feet, not backs, usually end careers: The hosts note that for aging elite players, foot and lower-extremity issues are often more career-limiting than back problems, since there's less that can be done to fully resolve them compared to back-focused treatments. 10:00–12:30 — Load management strategy: How a team would realistically manage LeBron's playing time — resting for back-to-backs, strategic game selection — as a template similar to how other aging stars have been managed. 12:30–15:00 — The medical clearance process: A behind-the-scenes look at what happens medically when a team considers signing or trading for a star with an extensive injury history — physicals, history review, and how teams weigh "red flags" against known, well-documented issues for a player as publicly tracked as LeBron. 15:00–17:30 — Playoff predictions: Lighter closing segment on who they like coming out of the East (Knicks, Heat, 76ers roster discussion) and a nod to the West being “loaded.” Please subscribe to our podcast at Apple PodcastsCheck out our website on Simplecast

If your caseload feels quiet in September, it's probably because of what you didn't do in July.Every fall, the same pattern shows up. Schools start back, associates finish summer intensives, and suddenly supervisees and clients are looking for help. The clinicians who are ready for that shift are usually the ones who started building the structure before September.In this episode, I talk about how to build your fall supervision and client roster with intention. This is not about waiting for people to find you. It is about making sure your website, referral relationships, directories, intake process, and follow-up systems are clear before the busy season arrives.I also talk directly to the introverts, because I see you. Updating your website is important, but sometimes the real next step is making the phone call, contacting the graduate program, reaching out to a school, or offering yourself as a resource in the community.In this episode, we cover:• Why July is the right time to prepare for September referrals• Where supervisees are actually looking for supervisors• Why your supervision page should not be hidden on your website• How graduate programs, directories, and word of mouth work together• Why client referrals require the same kind of intentional outreach• How to track real connections instead of just counting contacts• What to have ready before supervisees or clients begin reaching outIf you are building a supervision practice or trying to strengthen your client caseload, do not wait until the inquiries arrive to get organized. Choose one thing to fix this week. Make the call, update the page, check your email process, or prepare your paperwork.Your future fall self will thank you.Want to learn more? Check out this month's free resource from Kate Walker Training.Want deeper support? The supervisor training and resources at the Step It Up Membership can help you build supervision systems that are clear, ethical, and sustainable.Get your step by step guide to private practice.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Welcome to part 8 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. If you wish to catch up on earlier episodes, you can find them on my HPR profile page https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0394.html It is hard to believe that I started this project and the HPR series to document it more than a year ago. Time flies. Life happens. I spent the last 8 months so focused on work related activities that I had to set the project aside. And once I set it aside, it was difficult to get back to again. The one time I tried, I found that my son's old Windows laptop, which I had commandeered to use for the project, was once and truly dead. We live in a different world now than we did when I began this project. Today, everything is about AI – how it is changing our world, increasing efficiencies, and even displacing certain types of jobs. "Vibe coding" is transforming the way we make software, and now everyone is a developer. Within my organization, we are all being strongly encouraged to learn more about AI and apply it in our daily work. We are blessed to have access to a wide range of training and to powerful tools which support the process. Several colleagues within my organization and outside my organization have recommended Claude Code -- for development, for organization, for brainstorming, and for much more. My role is not that of a developer, and I have had no need for Claude Code at work. There are plenty of other tools for me to use. But at home, I thought... I could install Claude Code at home to experiment with and to learn. And then it hit me. I wonder if I could use Claude Code to help me with my stalled CYD project. "Hello, my name is Trey, and I am a fraud." OK. I don't think I am a fraud, but having never used such a powerful tool to help me code, I feel a little bit like a fraud, with Claude doing the work for me. Let's talk through what we did. As I mentioned, I was unable to use the laptop on which I created the original GUI code. But no worries, because It was all on GitHub, right? So, I began by trying to install Claude Code on one of my Ubuntu machines. That failed miserably, and all the instructions I found online recommended running it on Windows. So I transitioned to installing Claude Code on a freshly built Windows 10 system using some old hardware which will not support Windows 11. Surprisingly, It seems that Claude wants to run within Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Once I went through all the hoops for installing and setting up my basic subscription, I got to work. I created a new directory to use for all my project files, and another one for Claude to write all its output files to. Everything I have read and heard about using Claude Code for a project like this recommended beginning by using Claude to create the project plan. So my first prompt was as follows: "I am building a project using an ESP32 cheap yellow display. The final goal is to have a device with a graphical user interface which will allow me store several text messages, each assigned to their own specific button. Then, when one of the buttons is pressed, the message will be converted into morse code, and the message will be sent by blinking an onboard LED. I already have the initial design for the GUI coded in my github repository. Please construct a detailed step by step plan for building this application" I wanted to keep it simple at the beginning, so even though I plan to use an opto-isolated relay for the output, I am starting out using the built in LED. Claude asked me for the URL for my Github repository, and I provided it. After thinking for a bit, it produced a project plan. CYD Morse Sender — Step-by-Step Build Plan What You Already Have - 3 fully designed LVGL screens (Send, Config, Keyboard) - 7 send buttons with green styling on the Send Screen - Speed slider (5–30 WPM) and program slot dropdown on Config Screen - Text area + LVGL keyboard widget on Keyboard Screen - Display driver and touchscreen hardware initialized (but touch read was stubbed out) --- Phase 1: Fix Touchscreen Input Initialize the XPT2046 on VSPI, replace the hardcoded touched = false with real touch data, calibrate raw ADC coordinates to screen pixels, and verify all three nav buttons transition screens correctly. Phase 2: Persistent Message Storage Use Preferences.h / NVS to store 7 messages ("msg0" – "msg6") that survive power cycles. Load on boot and populate send button labels. Phase 3: Config Screen — Slot Selection & Speed Wire the Program dropdown to g_selectedSlot, wire the Speed slider to g_wpm with a live WPM label, and wire the Set button to clear the text area and navigate to the Keyboard Screen. Phase 4: Keyboard Screen — Capture and Save Text On keyboard OK (LV_EVENT_READY): read the text area, save to NVS, update the send button label, navigate back. On Cancel: navigate back without saving. Phase 5: Morse Code Engine Build morse.h with the full A–Z / 0–9 lookup table, a textToMorse() converter, and Paris-standard timing (unit_ms = 1200 / wpm). Phase 6: Non-Blocking LED Transmission State machine (IDLE / LED_ON / LED_OFF) driven by millis() in a morseUpdate() function called every loop — no delay(). LED on GPIO 17 (blue). Phase 7: Wire the Send Buttons Each button calls startMorse(getMessage(slot)) if not already transmitting. Disable all send buttons during TX; re-enable when the state machine reaches the end. Phase 8: Integration & Polish Stop button, WPM persistence, empty-slot guard, serial debug output, final touch calibration, end-to-end test checklist. --- Recommended order: Phase 1 → 2 → 7 (partial) → 5 → 6 → 7 (full) → 3 → 4 → 8 This was wild! Claude determined exactly how far along I was in the project, and also alerted me to the fact that the "touch read was stubbed out". Ugh. This means that the files I had uploaded to GitHub were my original GUI files (Episode 05 – HPR4532 - https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4532/index.html ) and not the ones that I finally got working properly (Episode 07 – HPR4624 - https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4624/index.html ). That was my own fault. Did I mention that I don't get Git? I REALLY need to learn to properly use Git! But, we have a plan, broken down by eight numbered phases. And they seem to address all the functionality I wanted with a few additional things I had not thought about. Interestingly, even though these phases are sequentially numbered, Claud recommended that we approach them in a bizarre order: Phase 1 → 2 → 7 (partial) → 5 → 6 → 7 (full) → 3 → 4 → 8 . Alright. Let's see what we can do. The first phase is to fix the touchscreen input. Claude took me through it step-by-step, asking as it needed to read specific project files. Finally, it wrote a new ui.ino code file to my speficied output directory for me to test. I copied it into the correct file location, said a quick prayer, compiled in Arduino IDE, and downloaded to the CYD. Well, that is... interesting. The display looked nothing like it was supposed to. There were vertical green bars with smaller dashed green vertical stripes in them. I will include a picture in the show notes so that you can see what it looked like and why it was so difficult to describe. I spent the next hour or so trying to explain what I was seeing to a chat bot. Claude recommended potential fixes which either did nothing or made the situation worse. I began questioning whether this was a good idea, how people actually gained efficiencies talking to a bot, and even several life choices. Then I had a thought. I prompted Claude: If I were to take a picture of the screen on the cheap yellow display and copy it into the output folder, would you be able to analyze it to better determine what is wrong and how to fix it? Shockingly, Claude answered in the affirmative, and told me to copy the picture to the output folder and let it know when to proceed. It analyzed the picture and more of the supporting files it had copied from my GitHub, asking each time if it could access that file. It determined that my original code was written for a flavor of LVGL version 8 and I was now using LVGL 9.5. It recommended changes, and then asked permission to make those changes, file by file. .h files & .c files, Finally, I just gave it permission to edit the files in the project folder without asking for permission for each file each time. Claude was still explaining each change, showing me exactly what would be changed, and asking for permission, so that I could review all of the changes. But now it was not asking additional permission to write to each of the impacted files. Next, Code compiled and downloaded. Different screen, but not right. Again, I took a picture and gave it to Claude to analyze. So, Claude paused and altered the code to generate a specific test pattern overtop of the GUI. The test pattern was supposed to cover the entire rectangular screen. But parts of the pattern were in a square on the screen and parts were not. Another photograph and analysis, told Claude that there were some rotation/screensize issues. We repeated this several times. Some resulted in improvement, and others did not. This is the point where I noticed something interesting. Not about Claude, specifically, or about the app. But I noticed something interesting about myself and about the process. Previously, when I was working through some of these challenges without Claud, I found myself becoming more and more stressed, frustrated, and angry, until I found a solution. Then another problem would repeat the cycle. Success in the end was great, but the emotional extremes during the process were not always pleasant. Now, I was effectively managing the project, and relaying information to the resource responsible for fixing the problems -- a very different experience. But I also ran into another issue. Claude became absolutely certain that the problem revolved around the device not accurately knowing where the 4 corners of the screen were. But in reality, the output of the test pattern was rotated 90 degrees from the actual screen. It took several iterations of me insisting that the problem had to do with screen orientation and not corner coordinates. It was interesting to experience the tool doubling down on an obvious mistake, but we finally resolved that. Again, while it was frustrating, it was much less stressful. We proceeded to Phase 2: Persistent Message Storage where we ensured that the button labels on the send screen were stored in the devices persistent storage, so that, when they are edited to contain the message they should send, that information would survive a reboot. Next, we combined elements of Phase 5: Morse Code Engine , Phase 6: Non-Blocking LED Transmission , and Phase 7: Wire the Send Buttons together. Building the morse code engine was an area I had been thinking about for a while. I already had working parts of something similar in the Arduino practice oscillator I have referenced a few times in this series. The code for the practice oscillator may be found on my GitHub, but it was all based on original code from jmharvey1, with my only contribution being making pin assignments variables so that the code could easily be ported to different devices. So, I was happy that we were building the morse code engine directly. The code for it may be found in morse.h, which uses a constant character lookup table to define each character. Without any specific direction from me, Claude used the PARIS timing methods I have already described within Episode 6 of this series. It defines timing for DOT, DASH, LETTER_GAP, and WORD_GAP, and all are based on a simple calculation of 1200 ms / the number of words per minute (WPM) we wish to transmit. Along the way, we discovered that, if we tried to use the delay() function, it would crash the program due to a conflict with the LVGL timer used for touchscreen inputs. Claude altered all the delays accordingly. Then, Phase 3: Config Screen — Slot Selection & Speed allowed us to configure the WPM we wished to use in addition to selecting a specific Send button to reconfigure. This forced us to work on Phase 4: Keyboard Screen — Capture and Save Text which is used to type the entries for each Send button. At this point, I also decided that we would want to also use the Keyboard Screen to send ad hoc morse as we typed it. During this phase we discovered several bugs which seemed to cause random freezes. Careful troubleshooting with messages output to the Arduino IDE's serial console helped us narrow down the causes and remedy them. Finally all the tests worked and I am able to merrily pre-configure macro buttons with custom messages and use the CYD to send the morse code for those messages to the on-board LED at whichever rate I specify. I have noticed in my presentation of this narrative that I repeatedly slip into the first person plural terms "we" and "us" instead of the first person singular terms "I" and "me". I have unconsciously personified Claud and recognized it as an integral part of my (formerly one person) development team. I finally configured Claude to connect to my GitHub repo and upload all the files and documentation. We additionally created a CYD-Narrative.md file which describes in more detail all the work which was done on the project. I still do not 100% get git, but we are successfully using it. You can find all these files in my GitHub repo ( https://github.com/jttrey3/CYD_MorseSender ) where they are shared under a GPL 3.0 license. There are still several additional steps I plan to complete in the next few months. 1. I will be integrating an opto-isolated relay which will allow me to plug the device into the straight key input on any amateur radio. This will require a battery power source, charge controller, and more hardware. I... make that "We" (Claude & I) will be modifying the code to support an audio side tone through an attached speaker when sending code We will add an output selection switch to the config page to choose any combination of speaker, relay, or LED as output. We will develop a downloadable firmware which I hope to share with the Cheap Yellow Display community. If you can think of any additional features you would like to see integrated, please drop me an email using the address in my HPR profile. I may also work with a friend to attempt to 3d print a case for the entire contraption, and I will be sure to record additional episodes sharing the process. I have learned so much throughout this project, about the CYD, ESP32, GUIs, Claude Code, GitHub, and most of all, about myself. Does using AI to develop this code make me a fraud? It still feels like it in some ways. Does it make me more productive? ABSOLUTELY! I made consistent forward progress when I only had 30-60 minutes each day to work on it, and everything discussed in this episode was completed in less than a week. If I had been able to work on it for a few hours uninterrupted, it may have only taken me 3-5 hours. Does it empower and inspire me to do more projects like this? 100% I feel like I had support working with me the whole way. I was less stressed overall, and it had less of an impact on the amount of and quality of time I spent with my family. I will be wrapping up this series soon, without any more 6 month gaps, I hope. Until next time... Provide feedback on this episode.

Have you ever heard a coach or well-meaning adult say something like, "every extra 10 pounds puts 70 to 100 pounds of extra force through a gymnast's joints"?It sounds scientific. It sounds logical. And it can make a parent start to wonder if their gymnast should be smaller to protect her joints.But here is the problem: that statement only tells half the story.In this episode, Christina breaks down the physics and the physiology behind gymnast injury risk, and why trying to make a growing gymnast lighter is not the same thing as making her safer.The physics part is true. Landing forces in elite gymnastics can reach six to thirteen times an athlete's body weight, and a lighter athlete does experience less external force on identical landings. But injuries are not determined by physics alone. They come down to whether the body is actually prepared to absorb that force.Christina walks through what does the absorbing: muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, and the nervous system. Think of it like a truck's suspension system. It is not the weight of the truck that smooths out the bumps, it is the suspension. For a gymnast, her muscles, tendons, and bones are that suspension.And building that suspension requires fuel. When a gymnast underfuels, she ends up with low energy availability, meaning her body does not have enough calories to grow, repair, recover, and adapt from training. The result is earlier fatigue, slower reaction time, worse recovery, and poor training adaptation, all of which increase injury risk rather than lowering it.Christina explains the real framework sports medicine uses: load versus capacity. Load includes things like number of landings, skill difficulty, training hours, and body weight. Capacity includes muscle strength, bone health, tendon health, landing mechanics, sleep, recovery, and fueling. You can lower the load by making an athlete smaller, or you can build her capacity, and the best injury prevention strategies focus on capacity.This matters even more for growing, developing gymnasts going through puberty. Weight gain, body fat gain, and growth spurts during this stage are normal biology, not something to diet against. Restricting a gymnast through puberty interferes with normal growth and bone development, and tends to backfire.Christina also unpacks what the research on RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) actually says, and why the International Olympic Committee identifies underfueling, not body weight, as the biggest nutritional threat to an athlete's health and performance.In this episode, we cover:❗ Why the "extra pounds equal extra force on joints" statement only tells half the story❗ How landing forces actually work in elite gymnastics❗ Why physics tells us how much force hits the body, but not whether the body can handle it❗ What actually absorbs landing forces: muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, and the nervous system❗ Why underfueling leads to low energy availability, and what that does to performance❗ Why RED-S identifies underfueling, not body weight, as the biggest threat to athlete health❗ The load versus capacity framework sports medicine uses to think about injury risk❗ Why strong, well-fueled muscles absorb force and fatigued muscles transfer it to bones and growth plates❗ Why weight gain and growth spurts during puberty are normal biology, not a problem to fix❗ Why restricting a growing gymnast's food can interfere with bone development and backfire long-term❗ Why resilient, well-fueled athletes recover better, train harder, and stay healthier and in the sport longer❗ How to shift the question from "how do I make her lighter" to "how do I help her body get stronger"Christina's takeaway: the goal is not to create the lightest gymnast in the gym. It is to create a gymnast whose body can tolerate thousands of landings, recover from them, and keep getting stronger.If you have been wondering about this, if a coach has made comments about your gymnast's weight, or if you are watching your gymnast's body change through puberty and want support navigating it, reach out.

This week on the show Sonny has a bag of missed radness to empart upon us all that is VERY strong - but before that we must observe the release of Yearning: The Unbeautiful After by one of our favourite bands as a podcast... Boundaries does it hold up? Have they sold out? Is the production actually THAT bad? ALL is discussed we also enjoy No Cure whilst drinking a beer which feels a bit naughty to be honest but what are  you gonna do? then Sonny's missed radness comes from Verdun, Yersin, Chaosphere, Skinsewnshut and Hot Load then the WHEEL OF RIFFS gifted us a delight in the form of Messy, Isn't It? from the cult heroes Dangers, another FANTASTIC spin from the wheel if you wanna discuss anything we talked about on the show or submit your WHEEL OF RIFFS recommendation then come on down and join us in the Discord, the funnest place on the internet to worship the riff Join the Discord! It's full of people sharing sick heavy music all the time.

Adam arrives at this week's episode suffering from meat sweats and a pair of thoroughly abused shins. Dan is helping his daughter learn bass, Adam's son has discovered what a $3,500 Dingwall feels like, and Chicago bassist Eric Baines would really like Adam to learn how to sight-read.Then we get into the considerably less wholesome subject of musicians getting hurt at work.After Adam took a fall backstage at a July 4th event, we asked the Cover Band Central community for their worst gig-injury stories. Nearly 600 responses revealed everything from cuts and bad backs to electrocution, heat illness, collapsing equipment, crowd violence and musicians attempting to finish sets during medical emergencies.We sort those stories into the hazards musicians may be able to mitigate themselves and the dangers created by venues, promoters, production companies and unsafe working conditions.Along the way, we ask why musicians are so willing to prioritize finishing the set over their own health—and why legitimate workplace injuries are so often repackaged as funny gig war stories.Also discussed:• The difficulty of explaining skills stored in muscle memory• Expensive instruments and irresponsible parenting• Load-in being harder than the actual performance• The alarming absence of first-aid and safety planning• Knowing when “the show must go on” has gone too far• Stage falls, risers and unmarked hazards• The dreaded electrified microphone• Outdoor shows with no shade or heat plan• Security failures and unwanted people onstage• The role of contracts, insurance and collective bargainingResources for working bands: coverbandconfidential.com/links
