In today's episode, we dive into Part 2 of our series on bone health (really musculoskeltal health), this time tackling the importance of movement and physical stimulus. In Part 1, we talked about how important nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, protein, and vitamin D are. But eating the right foods is only half the story; we need to give our bodies a reason to use them. If you want to build strong, resilient bones, protect your joints, and stay vital through perimenopause, menopause, and life in general, it's essential to create that physical stimulus.In this episode, we explore:* Why nutrition isn't enough without the physical stimulus* The truth about collagen supplements * Those little osteocyte cells — what they are and how we wake them up* How to use progressive overload (and why you're already stronger than you think)* Why “heavy” is relative to you, and how to start where you are* The difference between weight-bearing exercises and plyometrics, * If walking, running, and court sports create the impact our bones need* Why the drop in estrogen impacts not just our bones, but our joints, cartilage, and tendons
From Classroom Idea to FDA-Approved Medical Device What happens when a student sees a life-threatening problem and refuses to accept that “this is just the way it's done”? On this episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast, host Mark Weinstein talks with Dr. Tim Norman, Distinguished Professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, and Dr. Lauren Edmondson, a 2019 Cedarville graduate and physician, about an innovative medical device that began as a student idea in 2018 and has now received FDA approval. While taking an EMT course at Cedarville, Lauren encountered a story about a traumatic carotid artery injury in which a medic had to hold pressure on a patient's neck throughout the entire trip to the hospital. The experience sparked a question: Could a device provide the necessary pressure while freeing the medic to care for other patients? That question became the foundation for the Arterial Restriction Clamp (ARC). Lauren brought the idea to Dr. Norman, who assembled a senior design team of engineering students to develop a solution. The result is a lightweight, multifunctional device designed to address difficult bleeding situations while allowing medical professionals to continue providing care. In this episode, hear about an allied health student and engineering professor's collaboration across disciplines, the years of testing and research required to pursue FDA approval, the challenges of securing a patent and funding development, and the team's vision for bringing the device to military medics and other first responders. More than a medical innovation, the ARC represents the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, student initiative, and problem-solving with a purpose. What began as a Cedarville senior design project has grown into an effort with the potential to help save lives and bring patients home to their families. Listen to this inspiring story of faith, innovation, perseverance, and a student idea that became a life-saving technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T11y8zUsv4Ihttps://share.transistor.fm/s/4d10afc9
Watch Full Video EpisodeWhat if the same technology we blame for weakening mechanical aptitude could help rebuild it?In this episode of Automotive Field Theory, Matt considers whether YouTube, internet access, and large language models could help address the automotive industry's skill gap. Younger generations may be less likely to grow up around parents, grandparents, or neighbors who routinely repair cars, appliances, and homes—but they now have immediate access to demonstrations, explanations, and step-by-step guidance.These tools can certainly become a crutch. Much like GPS can get someone to a destination without teaching them how to read a map, an instructional video or AI-generated procedure can help someone complete a task without necessarily understanding the underlying system.But that may not be the whole story.For someone without a mechanically inclined mentor, a YouTube video or AI assistant may provide the encouragement and initial guidance needed to attempt a repair. The result will not always be successful, and professional shops regularly see the aftermath of DIY repairs gone wrong. Still, taking something apart, getting stuck, finding additional information, asking for help, and eventually working through the problem can begin developing real mechanical aptitude.That raises an interesting possibility: some of the people who eventually enter the automotive profession may trace their interest not to holding a flashlight for a parent or grandparent, but to repairing their own vehicle with help from a screen.In this episode:How mechanical aptitude was traditionally developedWhy fewer young people grow up around hands-on repairThe similarity between diagnostic databases, AI, and GPSThe difference between following instructions and understanding a systemWhy unsuccessful DIY repairs may still create useful experienceThe limits of translating personal repair experience into professional workHow YouTube and AI could provide a new entry point into the tradesWhether technology is eliminating mechanical aptitude—or cultivating it in a different wayCould the technology we thought was contributing to the skill gap ultimately become part of the solution?Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology and AutelAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

At Ellis Island in the early 1900s, the Bricklayers' union was advertising to arriving immigrants. The biggest selling point beyond wages was the eight-hour workday, because the workers coming over had been working 12- and 14-hour days. That was a union promise. The eight-hour workday, the 40-hour workweek and OSHA all exist because unions fought for them. Every American worker has benefited, union member or not. On today's Trades Day episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, Mechanical Insulators LMCT Executive Director Pete Ielmini discusses the LMCT's presence at the Association of Energy Engineers World Energy Conference and Expo in Orlando, where a live bare-pipe demonstration showed $300 to $400 in annual energy loss per uncovered foot and a game show format packed the room. He also updates the Federal Mechanical Insulation Act — passed in the House on the suspension calendar, four Senate co-signers and a closing legislative clock — and reflects on what the labor movement built for every worker in this country.

We have more athlete tracking data than ever before. But are we actually measuring what matters?Dr Ted Polglaze joins the podcast to reflect on more than three decades in sports science, from manually tracking athletes on VHS tapes to the arrival of GPS and today's increasingly sophisticated approaches to measuring movement and load. His career has spanned multiple Olympic campaigns, elite field hockey, water polo, rowing, and other high performance environments.The conversation dives into metabolic and mechanical power, why speed and distance alone cannot capture the true demands of team sports, and the importance of acceleration, direction, movement orientation, and what Ted calls "erraticness." Ted and Martin also discuss one element that has increasingly disappeared from modern tracking analysis: time.From the limitations of current models to where athlete tracking could go next, this episode is a reminder that better technology does not automatically mean better understanding.Interested in learning more about the latest developments in endurance performance and sports science?

Major Hollis descends to a silent foundry moon with 608 soldiers and orders to end a labor revolt. The first rebel he finds is a dead worker bolted into a gun mount, breathing on a machine's schedule.Dross has not been seized by strikers. Its mines, presses, smelters, and power grid have awakened under an ancient defense protocol, one that turns available human labor into fortifications. Every powered corridor is watching. Every wound may be an entry point. And every system Hollis destroys to save his cohort seals another route back to the surface.Hollis built his career on bringing soldiers home and refusing to falsify the cost of command. Now his men are being marked, wired, and requisitioned by a machine that does not hate them, while the Ministry assessor at his side seems increasingly interested in preserving what should be burned.With communications failing and escape routes collapsing, Hollis must lead what remains of his cohort deeper into Dross, toward the buried machinery at the heart of the moon, before the foundry decides what every soldier is worth.
Episode Description:Most drug delivery devices are mechanical by default: a spring, a click, a color that shifts from yellow to green. As drug delivery and medical devices become more complex, electromechanical engineering is opening new possibilities for functionality, usability, feedback, and patient experience.In this episode of Life Science Solutions, Chris Adkins talks with Andrew King about what goes into developing electromechanical devices, from the early concept through prototyping, testing, and formal development. Andrew brings hands-on experience designing drug delivery systems where mechanics, electronics, software, sensors, and controls all have to work as one.Topics Include:Mechanical vs. Electromechanical: What actually makes a device electromechanical (electronics core to the function, not a sensor bolted on), and why that distinction shapes how a team is built.The Case for Complexity: Why teams move past off-the-shelf mechanical devices, driven by adherence gaps, patient discomfort, and physical or cognitive impairment.Devices That Communicate: How electromechanical systems replace ambiguous clicks and color changes with speech, imagery, animations, tones, and haptics.When Simpler Means Electromechanical: A multi-dose, needle-indexing project that went from an over-complicated mechanical design to a simpler, cheaper, more capable electromechanical one in days.Decisions, Not Features: Why the real risk is analysis paralysis, and how an experienced team helps a project recognize when good is good enough.Prototype to Formal Development: How to tell when a prototype is ready for design controls, and why failing a DV test should come as a surprise.Purposeful Complexity and Sustainability: The shift from Cadillac halo products to solving real use-case problems, plus multi-use devices that reduce waste per dose.How much complexity does a device actually need?

What the F* Is Happening in Poland's Construction Market? Poland has changed — dramatically.Twenty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Polish workers were leaving the country in search of better opportunities across the UK, Ireland, Germany and wider Europe.Today, the picture looks very different.Poland is now a trillion-dollar economy, its construction industry is delivering tens of billions of euros worth of work, and the country has a major pipeline across infrastructure, energy, nuclear, manufacturing, defence and data centres.But there's another side to the story.Polish construction professionals have built an exceptional reputation internationally — and their experience is increasingly in demand across Europe.In Episode 175 of The Take Off Podcast, I take a deep dive into Poland, its construction market and why Polish engineers, project managers and commercial professionals could be particularly well positioned for the next wave of European construction.We discuss:

What Actually Works for Hair and Nail Problems Dr. Chris Adigun practices both general and cosmetic dermatology. We wanted to ask her about nail problems in particular because they are very common and she maintains a specialty in treating them. We asked her about the most common nail problems she sees, and she named simple onycholysis (pronounced Oh-nick-oh-LYE-sis). In this condition, the nail begins to lift away from the nail bed. You can identify it because the white area at the fingertip becomes much more extensive than usual. Usually, this is due to exposure to acids such as citrus juices or cleaning solutions. Having your hands in and out of irritants or even water (with or without soap) could lead to onycholysis. An overactive thyroid gland could also lead to onycholysis. To prevent it, try to avoid putting your hands into that sort of liquid. If you must do so, use gloves. And of course, a good hand cream to bolster the skin barrier is a very good idea. If these approaches don't do the trick, especially if there are other symptoms, the doctor may want to test for thyroid function. Another common problem is allergic contact dermatitis. This could be caused by some of the same irritating substances responsible for onycholysis, but cosmetics are common culprits here. Nail polish and remover, especially nail polish remover, can cause nail problems for some people. If you are one of them, what actually works best might mean finding a less irritating product or, even better, leaving the nails unadorned. White Spots on Nails Many people have noticed white spots on their nails. We asked Dr. Adigun what causes these, and she replied that usually they are not worrisome. If you bang your fingertip, as you might if you slammed it in a door or a drawer, the trauma may show up several weeks later as a white spot. (More serious trauma could show up as a dark spot due to blood pooling under the nail; we discussed that with podiatrist Jane Anderson here, but not with Dr. Adigun.) What About Ridges on the Nails? Nail ridges are very common, and the ones that run lengthwise along the same axis as the finger are due to aging. Just as our skin develops wrinkles, so do our nails. Consequently, there are no effective treatments. Nail ridges in children are a different story. They might show up as nails having the texture of sandpaper, or they could be horizontal ridges. Such nails should be seen by a physician, as they could signal an inflammatory condition called lichen planus or even an early sign of psoriasis. While we don't have cures for these conditions, there are effective medications to manage them. Hangnails and Cuticle Problems Are you surprised that dermatologists have a fancy term to describe cuticle problems and other trouble affecting the skin around the nail? They call it paronychia (PEAR-oh-nick-ee-ya). If it is caused by an infection, it might be treated with an antimicrobial compound. The best preventative is not to pull, bite or clip off hangnails or rough spots in the cuticles, the skin near the nails. Instead, moisturize and possibly cover the spot with a bandage to remove the temptation while it softens and heals. Instant glue is another simple remedy that really works for hangnails. Treating Nail Fungus When the nails are thick, ugly and hard to trim, often people blame nail fungus. But surprisingly, it isn't always the culprit. Mechanical trauma can also create thick nails that are hard to cut. If the nail is thick because it is on a hammer toe so it bumps against the insole of the shoe, antifungal treatment won't help. If a healthcare professional addresses it when it first appears, it may be treatable, but once the body has grown accustomed to producing that thick nail, there may be no effective treatment. Some nail infections are bacterial as well as fungal. Both may show up together, or the infection may be one or the other. A dermatologist has techniques for diagnosing whether the problem is due to a fungus or to bacteria such as Corynebacterium. Different types of antimicrobial medicines are effective for these infections. Athlete's foot also needs a real diagnosis, since it too might be bacterial rather than fungal in nature. OTC athlete's foot medicines target fungal infections. Handling Hair Loss Both men and women experience hair thinning, and no one is pleased about it. The patterns differ, with men noticing a receding hairline and less hair on their temples. Women's hair loss tends to form a Christmas-tree pattern, with the tip of the tree right behind the hairline and the base spreading out over the crown of the head. Women are also prone to hair loss after giving birth to a baby. However, while that may be alarming in the moment, it often corrects itself without treatment over the following months. Hormonal Treatments for Hair Loss With men, scientists have identified testosterone metabolites as contributing factors. Drugs such as finasteride (Propecia) or dutasteride block those metabolites and help men regrow hair. Dr. Adigun has begun using these compounds in women who are beyond childbearing. (They are off limits for a person who might become pregnant because they could interfere with the normal development of genitals in a fetus.) A different hormonal treatment for hair loss is spironolactone. Dermatologists have long used it to treat female pattern hair loss. A review found that spironolactone is an effective and safe treatment option for hair loss” (Cureus, Aug. 16, 2023). Besides boosting scalp hair growth, however, it can also cause itchy scalp, facial hair growth and menstrual problems. Another approach that actually works for hair loss is minoxidil (Rogaine). Most people are familiar with this as a topical product to be applied twice daily. That might get old after a while. Also, some people react to the product with contact dermatitis, irritation or itching. Low-dose oral minoxidil seems to work as well as topical minoxidil without the irritation. Another possible option which is better than placebo but not as potent as full strength topical minoxidil is rosemary oil. It is less likely to cause itching, however. This Week’s Guest Chris G. Adigun, MD, FAAD, is a board-certified dermatologist and the President and Medical Director of the Dermatology & Laser Center of Chapel Hill, which she founded in 2016. Dr. Adigun practices both general and cosmetic dermatology, with a strong emphasis on minimally invasive treatments that deliver natural, impactful results. She has devoted much of her career to increasing public awareness of skin cancer and the harmful effects of UV exposure—both medical and cosmetic—and maintains an academic specialty in nail disorders.

Have you ever removed plaque using a scaler or ‘air-polisher' and notice that the demineralised enamel flaked away?Scaling and polishing is a routine part of preventive dental care — but could some of our traditional cleaning methods be doing more than we realise? A whitening specialist who works without a drill, scaler or air polisher argues that some approaches to cleaning may affect the enamel, and that hydrogen peroxide gel can remove plaque without touching the tooth surface.Dr Wyman Chan has done nothing but tooth whitening since 2002, when he closed his general practice for a dedicated whitening centre, and he developed the chemical-polishing gel which is at the centre of this episode. He is joined by Dr Niki Shah, a UK general dentist and practice owner whose company distributes the product in the UK, and who now runs most of his hygiene this way.In this episode, they explain which patients they believe may benefit most, walk through the full chairside protocol, and discuss the limitations of the approach and where it may not be appropriate.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Manicuring Worn Lower IncisorsWorn lower incisors sit sharp against the upper teeth, concentrating stress. Take a Sof-Lex disc and manicure them, rounding the edges from pointed to smooth. Show the patient in the mirror first and, borrowing Dr Michael Melkers' framing, ask if you can make their teeth look a little younger. It is surface topography, changed for force management, and the patient feels it with their tongue.What You'll Take From This EpisodeOn sound enamel, prophy paste and air polishing are low-risk; on demineralised enamel hidden under plaque, the same abrasion can flake the surface.Chemical polishing does not lift calculus; where calculus is present, ultrasonic or hand scaling is still required.Dr. Wyman Chan offers a 3% hydrogen peroxide gel as a plaque and biofilm adjunct, not a replacement for oral hygiene instruction.The strongest cases for this are anxious, paediatric, orthodontic, special-needs and geriatric patients who tolerate scraping poorly.The chairside protocol runs about twelve minutes and still ends with manual agitation using a single-tufted brush.No published evidence supports the product's clinical claims yet; Dr. Wyman Chan describes studies in progress.Highlights of This Episode00:00 Teaser01:21 Rethinking How We Polish Teeth03:36 Protrusive Dental Pearl: Manicuring Worn Lower Incisors05:23 Meet the Guests: From Whitening to Chemical Cleaning12:10 What Is Chemical Polishing?

Mechanical forces may help the body coordinate pregnancy and labor. Yunxiao Zhang, Ph.D., of Scripps Research Institute, examines how PIEZO1 and PIEZO2, proteins that open in response to stretch, contribute to uterine contractions and the timing of birth. Zhang finds PIEZO1 in uterine smooth muscle and PIEZO2 in sensory nerve fibers around the cervix. In mouse models, removing both channels weakens labor contractions, delays the start of delivery and increases the time between pups. The findings suggest that PIEZO1 helps prepare uterine muscle for stronger contractions, while PIEZO2 helps sensory nerves detect cervical stretch. Zhang also discusses how fats in cell membranes may change PIEZO1 sensitivity and why uterine cells and sensory nerves have connected roles. This research offers a new way to study how physical forces help regulate labor. Series: "Motherhood Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 41642]

The findings suggest that PIEZO1 helps prepare uterine muscle for stronger contractions, while PIEZO2 helps sensory nerves detect cervical stretch. Zhang also discusses how fats in cell membranes may change PIEZO1 sensitivity and why uterine cells and sensory nerves have connected roles. This research offers a new way to study how physical forces help regulate labor. Series: "Motherhood Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 41642]

In the past, the relationship between electrical drawings and physical machines was largely left to the ability to visualize both. A motor might exist as a symbol on my electrical schematic, while its physical counterpart lived somewhere on a mechanical drawing. The two representations described different aspects of the same machine, but they were not necessarily connected. In this episode of Control Intelligence, written by contributing editor Joey Stubbs, editor in chief Mike Bacidore discusses computer-aided design software.

Autism and eating disorders can create a complicated relationship with food rigidity, routines, sensory needs, and predictability. For autistic people recovering from anorexia, ARFID, bulimia, or other eating disorders, repetitive eating patterns aren't always symptoms that need to be challenged. Sometimes autistic food routines and preferred foods make consistent nourishment more accessible. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores the difference between autistic food rigidity and eating disorder rigidity, including why they can be difficult to separate. Sensory processing differences, executive functioning challenges, autistic inertia, interoceptive differences, and a strong preference for sameness can all shape autistic eating and eating disorder recovery. Autism, Food Rigidity & Eating Disorder Recovery A familiar breakfast, preferred brand, predictable meal schedule, or small rotation of foods may look rigid from the outside. For an autistic person, however, these routines can reduce sensory overwhelm, decision fatigue, and the executive functioning demands involved in eating. Dr. Marianne explains why autism and eating disorder recovery may require a different definition of flexibility. Mechanical eating and predictable meal routines can be particularly helpful for autistic people who experience inconsistent hunger cues or difficulty interpreting internal body signals. You'll also learn how the same autistic traits can sometimes complicate recovery. Changes to meal timing, unfamiliar foods, unexpected sensory experiences, and disruptions to established routines can create significant distress. What appears to be eating disorder resistance may actually involve autistic sensory needs, difficulty with transitions, interoceptive differences, or a need for predictability. Autism, ARFID, Anorexia & Sensory Issues With Food Food variety is another area where neurodivergent eating disorder treatment requires nuance. Expanding someone's range of foods can be important when limited intake creates nutritional or medical concerns, particularly with autism and ARFID. But eating more variety isn't automatically the same as eating disorder recovery. Dr. Marianne discusses how sensory sensitivities can overlap with ARFID, anorexia, and other restrictive eating disorders, and why clinicians need to understand what a food behavior is doing before trying to change it. Avoiding a food because of texture, smell, temperature, or unpredictability isn't necessarily the same as avoiding it because of eating disorder fears about calories, weight, or body shape. Sometimes both are present. Related Episodes Neurodivergent-Affirming Eating Disorder Treatment Successful autistic eating disorder recovery doesn't require making someone's eating look neurotypical. An autistic person may continue to plan meals, repeat breakfasts, rely on preferred foods, check restaurant menus ahead of time, use sensory accommodations, and maintain predictable eating routines after the eating disorder has significantly improved. Dr. Marianne also explains how autistic traits can become recovery strengths. A preference for routine can support regular meals and snacks, pattern recognition can help identify situations where nourishment breaks down, and understanding sensory needs can make eating more sustainable. Rather than automatically trying to eliminate food rigidity in autism, neurodivergent-affirming eating disorder treatment asks a more useful question: Does this pattern strengthen the eating disorder, or does it help this person stay nourished? Dr. Marianne specializes in autism, ADHD, ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and neurodivergent eating disorder recovery.

You can also explore her self-paced ARFID & Selective Eating course for adults with ARFID, parents and caregivers, and eating disorder providers.

The main question this episode answers is: How do you build and maintain a healthy, functional spine through proper core training and spinal hygiene? A healthy spine depends on more than just visible abs, and NASM emphasizes foundational core stability to prevent pain and injury. In this “Random Fit,” NASM educators, co-hosts Wendy Batts and Ken Miller, break down the real essentials of spinal hygiene, going beyond social media workouts focused on six-pack abs. Listeners will discover why spinal health is about training the deep, local stabilizer muscles as well as the larger, global muscles, and why prioritizing proper alignment, core assessments, and fundamental exercises like planks and dead bugs matters more than high-repetition crunches. The episode also explains common compensation patterns from sitting, how tight hip flexors or weak glutes can harm spinal alignment, and how to correct these imbalances before adding more advanced movements. After listening, fitness professionals and enthusiasts alike will understand how to create a personalized, step-by-step approach to core and spinal training for long-term health, using NASM's science-based techniques. Chapters: [00:00] What is spinal hygiene and why does it matter for your core? [02:13] How do experts define the core and its relationship to spinal health? [04:55] Why is having visible abs not the same as having a healthy spine? [08:12] Which muscles make up the core, and why are the local stabilizers so important? [12:36] How does NASM recommend building a strong, stable foundation before dynamic core exercises? [15:17] What are the risks of skipping foundational core work and jumping to advanced exercises? [19:25] How do sitting and daily habits create compensation patterns that affect spinal health? [23:21] Why do you need to address muscle imbalances and compensations before strengthening the spine? [25:36] How can you coach perfect plank form to target the right core muscles? [28:43] What cues and progressions make exercises like planks and bird dogs truly effective? [30:15] How should you approach crunches and rotational exercises after building a stable core? [32:32] What are the practical next steps for maintaining spinal hygiene in everyday life?

Wie schläft ein Wal, der zum Atmen auftauchen muss? Warum fällt ein schlafender Vogel nicht vom Ast? Und welches Tier verbringt mehr als 20 Stunden am Tag im Schlaf?In dieser Folge dreht sich alles um die erstaunlich vielfältigen Schlafgewohnheiten der Tierwelt. Wir erfahren, warum Pferde im Stehen schlafen können, Flamingos dafür gerne auf nur einem Bein stehen und manche Vögel, Robben und Wale einfach eine Gehirnhälfte schlafen schicken, während die andere wach bleibt. Und natürlich geht es auch ums Träumen: Welche Tiere haben REM-Schlaf? Träumen Oktopusse? Warum ist ausgerechnet das Schnabeltier ein besonders ausdauernder Träumer? Und was passiert eigentlich im Gehirn einer wiederkäuenden Kuh?Diese Folge ist zugleich ein Neubeginn: Zum ersten Mal sprechen Frauke und Erik gemeinsam über die faszinierende Welt der Tiere – mit jeder Menge erstaunlicher Fakten und der einen oder anderen Frage, auf die selbst die Forschung noch keine Antwort hat. Zum Beispiel: Kann man schlafende Menschen und Tiere tatsächlich aufwecken, indem man sie einfach nur anstarrt?Eine Folge über Halbhirnschlaf und innere Uhren, ungewöhnliche Schlafpositionen und tierische Lang- und Kurzschläfer – und darüber, was die Art zu schlafen über das Leben eines Tieres verrät.Links zur Folge:Zur Frage Kann man Tiere und Menschen durch anstarren aufwecken: https://journalofscientificexploration.org/index.php/jse/article/view/3359Zur Frage wie Pottwale unter Wasser schlafen: https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/229/14/jeb251920/372249/Buoyancy-regulation-through-modulation-of-onboardZur Frage, ob alle Tiere schlafen: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166223608000623?via%3DihubZur Frage, wie Flamingos auf einem Bein schlafen: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article/13/5/20160948/62549/Mechanical-evidence-that-flamingos-can-supportWeitere Links:Diese Folge wird unterstützt vom Bettenhaus Schwarz in Pfalzgrafenweiler.

A look over the shoulder from the Gearhead Consultancy about how to make yourself ready and able to enjoy a week off-roading in the hills... We've got mechanical touchpoints to get after on your buggy (and in it), a basic list of tools and juices, ancillary gear that'll have you pretty damn prepared before you head out, and a few thoughts on sucking info and technique out of your fellow 'froaders rather than just sucking. There's also some trucks worth taking, dude's worth having around, maps worth reading, tech worth ignoring, and ideas worth executing. There's more to it: marble in Marble, Irish whiskey in Justin, lumberjacks in Russia, and transmissions in LS400s.

Send us Fan MailJacob Evink is a mechanical engineering student at Western Michigan University with interests in mechanical design, robotics, manufacturing, and product development. Rather than waiting until graduation to begin practicing engineering, Jacob is actively developing projects that allow him to apply CAD, prototyping, electronics, and mechanical problem-solving to real-world challenges. His industry experience has already exposed him to several sides of the product-development process. During an engineering design internship, Jacob created and modified CAD models, prepared manufacturing drawings, supported prototype development and testing, participated in design reviews, and collaborated with cross-functional engineering teams. He now works in a high-volume injection-molding environment, where he operates production machinery, performs quality inspections, and troubleshoots problems that can affect production. Outside of work and school, Jacob is building an online engineering community by sharing his projects and lessons publicly. His content includes not only successful results, but also the mistakes, failed ideas, and repeated iterations that are often responsible for the greatest amount of learning. Jacob also serves in a leadership role as a founding member of a fraternity chapter at Western Michigan University. As he continues through his engineering education, he is developing a perspective that combines technical curiosity, hands-on manufacturing experience, leadership, and a willingness to learn in public.

Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining light on wind energy’s brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Howard, welcome back to the program. Howard Penrose: Hey, thanks for having me. Allen Hall: It’s about time everybody realizes what motorDoc can do. There’s so much technology, and I’ve been watching- Yeah … your Chaos and Caffeine podcast on Saturday morning, which are full of really, really good information about the motorDoc as a company, all the things you’re doing out in the field, and how you’re solving real-world problems, not imaginary ones- Yeah real-world problems. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and Howard Penrose: whatever annoys me that week. Exactly. And, and whatever great coffee I’m trying out. Yes. Except for a few. We’ve had the ReliaSquatch down our- Yes … um, a couple of times. Uh, yeah, no, I, I enjoy it, and we gotta get you on there sometime. I don’t do- I, it- … a lot of interviews other than an AI character we put in. Allen Hall: It’s a very interesting show because you’re [00:01:00] getting a little bit of comedy and humor and s- Yeah … and a, and a coffee review, which is very helpful because I’ve tried some of the coffees that you have reviewed, that you’ve given the thumbs up to. But if you’re operating wind turbines and you’re trying to understand what’s happening on the drivetrain side, on the generator, everything out to the blades even, main bearings, gearboxes- Yeah all those rotating heavy, expensive parts, there’s a lot of ways to diagnose them- Howard Penrose: Yes … Allen Hall: that are sort of like we can look at a gear, we can look at a joint, we can look at roller bearings, whatever, but motorDoc has a way to quickly diagnose all of that chain in about- Yeah … 15 seconds. Howard Penrose: Well, a little longer than 15 sec- more like a minute. A minute, okay. It feels like paint drying. But- Uh, in any case, yeah. Uh, uh, and, and what’s kind of funny is, um, back in the ’90s, uh, EPRI actually accidentally steered the technology away from its [00:02:00] core purpose, which was in 1985, um, NAVSEA, the US Navy, had done research on using current signature analysis for looking at pumps, fans, and compressors, the bearings, the belts, the components, all the rotating components using the motor as the sensor. Not too much different than we are now. I mean, mind you, we got better resolution now, we’ve got, uh, more powerful– I mean, I look at my data from the ’90s, and now it’s completely different. Um, and then Oak Ridge National Lab, same thing, bearings and gears in motor-operated valves. So in 2003, we were the first ones to apply electrical and current signature analysis to some wind turbines in the Mojave Desert. Wow. Yeah. So, um, nobody had tried it before. Everybody said it couldn’t be done. And, uh, that was a bad thing to say to me because- … it meant I was gonna get it [00:03:00] done. Right. At that time, um, we were looking at bearing issues and some blatant conditions with the, um, with the, uh, generator using a technology called Altest, ’cause I was with Altest at the time. And, uh, I had taken an EMPath software and blended it with a, a power analyzer, and they still have that tool to this day. I was using that technology all the way through 2015. 2016, I should say. And then- And then switched over to the pure EMPath, which was more of an engineering tool. And then more recently, in 2022, uh, made the decision to ha- to take all the work we’d done on over 6,000 turbines, uh, looking at how we were looking at the data and what we were doing on the industrial side, and took a, uh, created a current signature analyzer that would do one phase of current to analyze the entire powertrain. Allen Hall: So when you tell [00:04:00] operators you can do this magic, I think a lotta times they gotta go, “ Howard Penrose: What?” Oh, yeah, yeah. They don’t understand it because they’re used to vibration- Right … which is a point analysis system. Right. Allen Hall: Vibration at this- Yeah … particular location. Yeah. One spot- Even if it’s- … or a couple Howard Penrose: spots triax, they’re reading through material, up through a transducer. Hopefully, they put it above the bearing and not in the middle of the machine like everybody is now, because everybody’s trying to sell a sensor. Right. True. They’re not selling a- they’re not selling accuracy. They’re just selling sensors. Right. So, um- Yeah … you know, uh, I, I’ll, I’ll even talk about one of the companies here. We’ve got Onyx here, and they do it right. I mean, they’ve been doing it right pretty well because we’ve been doing some of the same towers they’re on, and we can match the data they’re getting. Oh, good. Right? Yeah. Uh, so but they get it in multiple spots, and there’s areas they can’t quite reach, so we’ll detect those areas as well. So it’s a good melding of two technologies. Allen Hall: Oh, sure. Sure, Howard Penrose: sure. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when you have electrical signature and you have vibration, but in [00:05:00] cases if you don’t have vibration, we’re a direct replacement. Allen Hall: Because the generator- I Howard Penrose: dare say that. Allen Hall: Yeah. Whichever– Howard Penrose: I dare say that, um, with- Well, the Allen Hall: generator is acting as the sensor. Howard Penrose: The air gap. The air gap in the generator s- specifically, yes. Yeah. Generator, motor, transformer. Right. Allen Hall: Yeah. So any of those- Mm-hmm … you can clamp onto, look at the current that’s on there. Everything that’s happening on the drivetrain, in the gearbox, out on the rotor- Yep … main bearings, all of that creates vibration. Creates a torque. T- a, a torque. Yeah. Yes, more exactly a torque. Yeah. And that’s seen in the generator, in the current coming out of the generator. Yes. So those signals, although minute, are still there. Yes. So if you clamp onto that current coming out of the generator, you’ll see the typical AC sine wave sitting there. But on top of that- Is all the information about how that drivetrain is doing Howard Penrose: Absolutely, and everything else. Anything electrical comes through [00:06:00] that. So what you do is just like vibration, you do a spectral analysis. So every component has a frequency associated with it, just like vibration. It’s, as a matter of fact, I, I keep having to try to explain to people electrical and current signature analysis is no different than vibration analysis. It’s the same concept. We use the same tools. The signature looks just a little different. It’s a little noisier, um, but you need that noise in order to see everything. But we have a time waveform, and instead of, um, inches per second or millimeters per second, whatever, you know, uh, velocity, acceleration, and displacement, uh, what we end up with is decibels is the optimal method. You can look at straight voltage signatures at those points or, or current signatures, but the values are so small that you have to look at it from a logarithmic standpoint. Right. There are some benefits to it versus vibration, and there’s some things that aren’t as good as vibration. [00:07:00] So, you know, we, we do… You have to… Any technology is gonna have their strengths and weaknesses. Sure. So we will see everything all at once. Load doesn’t matter. Right. Speed doesn’t matter. It’s… Only reason speed matters is the location of the frequencies. Uh, so the higher the resolution, meaning the longer you take data, the less chance you have on a lightly lo- loaded machine of blending the peaks together. Right. Um, on the flip side, if I have two bearings turning at the exact same speed, I couldn’t tell you which one it is. Because they’re the same. Right. Allen Hall: And the mechanical features of that bearing is w- what creates the signal that you’re measuring. Exactly. So if a bearing has five rollers versus 10, just imaginary thing. Yeah, yeah. Five rollers versus 10 has a different electrical signature, so you can determine, like, that bearing, that 10 roller bearing- Yes … has the problem, the five is fine. Yes. Yeah. That’s the magic, and I think people don’t translate the mechanical world into the electrical world. That that’s what’s [00:08:00]happening. They, Howard Penrose: they don’t because, because what’s happening is they named it wrong. Allen Hall: Yes. Howard Penrose: A majority of our users are mechanical folks. Sure. Our vibration analysts and stuff like, ’cause they know how to look at the signatures. Right. Everybody tries to force it on their electrical people, and electrical people go, “We don’t know what this is.” Yeah. And it’s, it’s, it’s a matter of that training and, and, you know, in the electrical world, you’re not taught to look at that. Right. Yeah. It doesn’t matter. Mechanical world, you’re taught to look at that. So our intern, we were trying to bring in electrical engineering interns and found out that just wasn’t working. So last year, I brought in my first, uh, intern that’s, you know, he’s been with us now since I brought him in. Okay. Uh, and, uh, Amar, and, uh, you know, he’s helped us develop our vi- uh, vibration software to go along with it. Guess what? It’s the same thing. It’s the exact same sy- system Um, but we just take in a vibration signal instead. But he picked up on it immediately as a [00:09:00] third-year college student. I can take somebody with a decade as an electrical engineer with a PhD and they can’t figure it out. Allen Hall: Well, because you’re, you’re taking real- Because it’s different. Yeah. It’s r- well, it’s real-world components- Howard Penrose: Yeah … Allen Hall: creating electrical signals. That’s hard- Well, you have- … to process for a lot of people. Yeah, Howard Penrose: yeah. It’s Allen Hall: just not Howard Penrose: something that we do every day. But that’s… If they, i- if we sa- i- i- if you’re looking at vibration and you start looking at the sensor, it gets complicated too, ’cause guess what? It’s an electrical signal. Right. It’s, it is technically electrical signature now. It’s converting a Allen Hall: mechanical signal- Right … into an electrical signal, which is what’s happening in the generator anyway. Yeah. Howard Penrose: Whether it’s a piezoelectric cell that’s generating a small signal- Yeah … on top of a small waveform that you then take out, you demodulate, uh, or it’s, uh… So you take that carrier frequency out, or it’s a MEMS sensor, which is the same thing. You know, the, it just sees some slower s- It, it does more of a digital output. So you, you, you know, you have those, or you [00:10:00] have this, which just basically uses a component of the machine to, to, as its own sensor. There is one other difference between them, too, and, uh, I find this very useful when I’m going out troubleshooting something that other people can’t figure out, uh, ’cause we use all the technologies. So in this case, it would be, uh, the structural movement. Okay? So, so say I have a generator and there’s something wrong with the structure, and the whole machine is vibrating. So y- well, if I put a transducer on it, they might think that’s vibration or something else. We don’t see it. Right. We only see directly exactly what’s happening with the machine. Sure. So a lot of times when we go in to troubleshoot something that people have done vibration on and everything else, it’s been pro- a, a problem for them for years. We walk in, and all of a sudden we’re identifying whether it’s the machine or it’s something else right off the bat. Then we can take a look at the vibration data and [00:11:00] say, “Okay, it wasn’t the bearing or the bearing, um, structure. It was, you know, the mounting.” Right. It wasn’t Allen Hall: fastened Howard Penrose: down properly. Yeah, Allen Hall: yeah. Right. Howard Penrose: Go tighten that bolt. Right, exactly. Allen Hall: Well, I mean, that’s the cheap answer. Yeah. I’d rather tighten a bolt than rip apart a motor or a generator- And, and- … every day … Howard Penrose: and that’s the whole point. Now, there are other strengths that go with it. So for instance, on the powertrain of a wind turbine, I can tell you if you’ve lubricated the bearings correctly. Wow. Because part of what we do is we do take those electrical signatures, and we convert those over to watts. Watts is an energy conversion. Sure. So you see that as heat or some type of loss. So whatever, whatever’s being lost there is not being sent to the customer. To the outside. Right. Making money. So, um, if I’m taking a look at, say, a main bearing, I might see watts or kilowatts of losses. So you’re gonna have some ’cause you have friction, right? But when we see it increase on, say, a roller, [00:12:00] or the rollers, or, or the cage, that’s usually an indicator that I have a lubrication issue. Or if we only see it on the outer race, that means that they didn’t clear out all the old grease when they were lubricating it, ’cause the rollers then have to ride across it- Right … ’cause it dries up. Allen Hall: Sure. Howard Penrose: Uh, and will carry contaminants. So if you see that, you go up, clean it up, you’ll extend the life of the bearing. Absolutely you will. Without having to do a lot of work. So, uh, we, we look at our technology as more so early in the, in the stage of a condition. I don’t wanna call it failure, ’cause it’s not a failure. It’s something that’s mitigable. And I made that word up. You can mitigate it. Meaning you can go up and correct it and extend the life of that component. Sure. Uh, in gearboxes we’ll see problems with, um… Well, the, the one we’re talking about here a fair amount is all the circulating currents going on uptower. We did that research. The current signature analyzer we have is a direct result of doing wind turbine [00:13:00] research just on circulating currents uptower, ’cause we conferred everything over to, to sound at 48 kilohertz. And so that gives me a 24-kilohertz signal. That high-frequency stuff, which we’re researching in CGRE, and IEEE, and IEC, is called supra harmonics, which I– we talked about that before. Yes, we have. Yeah. And, uh, so when you start seeing that in the, in, in the current that’s circulating uptower because the ground that goes from the top of the tower down is for- DC lightning protection. And lightning protection, yeah. It’s not meant for, um- Not for Allen Hall: high frequency- Yeah … Howard Penrose: currents. Yeah. Uh, we, when we measured it, when we mapped out dozens of towers of all different manufacturers, we found that the impedance about halfway down the tower is where it ends. Sure. The, the resistance. And then the increased, uh, the high-frequency noise turns any of your shaft brushes into resistors. And at about 15 kilohertz, no current is [00:14:00]passing through them. It’s all passing the bearing, which becomes more conductive the higher the frequency. So with 60% of main bearings failing due to electrical currents, it’s actually currents that are circulating uptower. It’s not static. There is some static up there, but it’s not static. It’s coming from the controls, the, the generator, and everything else. Inverters, Allen Hall: converters. Howard Penrose: And we’ve seen up to 150 amps passing through a, through a bearing. Allen Hall: So I– We run across a lot of operators who have been replacing main bearings, and they don’t know the reason why. Yeah. And I always say, “Well, call Howard at MotorDoc because I would almost bet you you have the f- high frequency running around uptower in the nacelle- And the next main bearing you put in there is gonna go the same way as the- Yeah … first one you put in there. Until you cut off that circulating current and then the cell, you’re just gonna continue with the problem. Then you haven’t eliminated the problem, you’re just fixing the result of that problem. Yes. But it takes- Yeah, you’re, you’re- How, [00:15:00] how, well, how long- You’re replacing Howard Penrose: a fuse. Allen Hall: Right, you’re replacing a fuse. Yeah. How long does it take you to s- to determine- An expensive fuse. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, ’cause you’re taking the rotor down. Yeah. Well, how, how fast can you determine if you have harmonics uptower that are gonna be causing you problems? 120 seconds. Howard Penrose: Okay. Allen Hall: So that’s the thing. I think a lot of- I mean, Howard Penrose: that’s of the actual data collection time. So you clamp on uptower, uh, and then you can… Well, the way we have it set up now, you just tell it you wanna collect data every five s- uh, five minutes, and then you go downtower, let it collect its data, go back up, grab it. Um, it’s like… It’s huge. It’s this size. So, um, and then you connect- It plugs into a laptop. Yeah. Plug it into a laptop or any type of tablet. Um, it, it’s Windows now. I’m trying to get away from Windows. We’re gonna have Linux systems, uh, as well. Uh, and then you use that to, um, just collect that data, and then you press another button. Now it pops up, and it tells you if you’re in danger or not, [00:16:00] the amount of current passing through the bearing, and the frequencies all the way out. Allen Hall: So the ideal is you’re gonna have this kit with you in the truck. Yeah. And as you see these problems pop up, you’re gonna clamp on uptower. Yep. You’re gonna measure these circulating currents, and you’re gonna know immediately if you have another mechanical issue, a, a lubrication issue- Oh, yeah. It’ll look at- … some kind of alignment issue, or- You’ll get all Howard Penrose: of this information at once. So you- Right … if you go on the power side. So certain turbines, like anything that has the transformer downtower, you don’t have to climb. Right. GE. I mean, I don’t climb. So, uh, uh, you know, th- and that was part of the, the concept behind when we started down this path because I’ve been in the wind industry since 1997. So one of the things I always saw was, and, and we talked about even, you know, here when it was called AWEA, and we were talking always on the health and safety side about wearing out the technicians. Um, so we discovered that, you know, what was it? Almost 60% of the [00:17:00] turbines you didn’t have to climb. Right. Oh, yeah. And even the ones you do, you go up, you set it up, and it’ll tell you where you need to focus. The other thing in the powertrain, let alone the generator, when we do a sweep of a site– Now, if we do a straight electrical signature analysis, I’d term that one as a technician’s tool. Sure. That’s more of an engineer’s tool. Uh, a lot more data, a lot harder to set up. But even though I’m saying harder to set up, it’s still pretty easy. It’s still minutes. Right. Yeah. Most technicians will collect data with, like, a couple hours worth of training. Yeah. You g- You basically gather that data, and if you’re getting a site, so we’ll go out– I love going out in the field. So we’ll go out in the field, especially if it’s a tower we don’t have to climb I’ll knock out, uh, well, let’s just say I’ll, I’ll, I’ll name one. Say a GE 1.6. I’ll knock out one of those every eight to 11 minutes, depending on how you get to the tower. Allen Hall: So that’s a full diagnosis of drivetrain- Yeah … plus anything odd happening- Yep with circulating currents and all that [00:18:00] can- Oh, no, no. Circulating- Or just- … current, that’s a- That’s a separate thing at tower … separate study that- Okay … you have to do that uptower. But anything, anything drivetrain-wise, you can be in and out- Yeah … in a couple of minutes. Yep. Okay. So there’s a lot of operators that have end-of-warranties coming up, right? Yes. There’s been a lot of developments, so they’re kind of running into the end-of-warranty, and they don’t know the health status of their drivetrain. Same thing for a lot of operators that are in- Yep … full service agreements, and they’re questioning whether they’re getting their money’s worth or not. Yes. I always say, “Call Howard at Motordoc. You guys can have a whole site survey done maybe in a couple of days, and you will know all the problems that are on site for the lowest price ever”. Yeah. It’s crazy how fast you can do it and how accurate it is. I talk to operators that use your system, so I hear you. Yeah. Your podcast, listen to your podcast, I’m calling your customers to find out what they say, and they love it. Oh, yeah. They can’t believe how accurate it is. Yeah. Well, the thing about that is we as an industry need to make sure that our turbines are operating at [00:19:00] maximum efficiency. Yep. And if a simple tool like the Motordoc EMPath system exists, we need to get customers, operators in line to start doing it worldwide. Australia- Oh … Europe- Howard Penrose: Yeah. We- … Canada. Australia, we’re trying to get into, but right now we even have OEMs using it through North- That’s good … and South America, Asia. Good. Uh, Middle East, um, and, uh, and some of Europe. Good. So it’s, it’s, it’s really taking off. Uh, I’d say probably our biggest market right now is Brazil. Sure. They’re going crazy. Well, the, the turbines are- They’re having a lot of problems. Yeah. Allen Hall: Right. And the, well, those turbines have a h- high usage, right? So because- Oh, yeah … the winds are so good, they’re operating at, like, capacity factor is above 50%. Yes. It’s insane. Yeah. So there’s a lot of wear and tear. There’s no downtime for those turbines. Howard Penrose: Yeah. Well, and, and people think it’s all the starting and stopping. It’s not. No. It’s a grid-related issue. So we have- Sure … we have a low frequency. And you know some of the stuff I volun- I, I’m, I’ve been volunteered for- [00:20:00] Yeah … uh, including the CIGRE thing. Um, so I get to sit in the grid code committees for IEEE and put my, and our input into that, uh, and kind of watch the back of the IBR industry, right? Mm-hmm. ‘Cause there’s a definitely bias against our industry. Um, and I also, uh, get to hear what’s going on in the grid side of things from CIGRE worldwide, and it’s all very similar, and it has to do with low-frequency oscillating currents- Yes … called subsynchronous currents- Yes … which are low enough not to damage large synchronous machines. And they thought, and there’s books written on this, by the way, multiple books written on wind turbine impact- Uh, and they’re seeing now, um… Well, we detected it first, along with Timken. Hank, uh, and, and I went out to a site, and we detected for the first time, because of how they wanna do the testing and where the site was located, we saw the oscillating torque [00:21:00] in the air gap, ’cause that’s one of the things the technology does. It actually measures the torque, air gap torque. Sure. So we were watching the oscillating torque as a tower started up. And so we did, we went through the rest of that site looking at the same stuff in the same way. It increased our time and data collection, and time on site. But then we started looking for it at other sites, and going to pass data because I don’t have to go back and retake data. Right. And we’re like, “Oh my God. It’s everywhere.” 16 hertz, 21 hertz, and 50 hertz. And we found a paper that specifically identified that as the sub synchronous frequencies for 60 hertz. So we know what they are also for 50 hertz. Once we identified that and we saw how much the torsi- torque was oscillating, we worked with Shermco, who got us some information on Y-rings that were failing. Yeah. And they were all failing… When the metallurgy was done, they were all failing from fatigue. And you’re like, fatigue how? What’s fatiguing these connections? [00:22:00] Well, the fatigue is that air gap torque- Exactly … because you’re basically causing the, the, everything to oscillate a little bit, and that causes the windings to move slightly. It’s a living, Allen Hall: breathing machine- Howard Penrose: Exactly … this generator Allen Hall: is. Howard Penrose: Yeah. Allen Hall: It’s not Howard Penrose: static. It’s definitely not sta- no electric machine is static. No. Even a transformer’s not static. Right. Allen Hall: So- There’s a little Howard Penrose: bit of wiggle going on there all the time All the time. And it’s minute, so it takes a long time. Right. And what, uh, uh, everybody… Well, first people thought it was a particular manufacturer, which it wasn’t. Turned out every defig’s failing the same way. Sure. You’re fatiguing it. Yeah. Every bearing is failing the same way, even in the gearbox, main bearings, and everything else. Right. All of these conditions are happening across all the OEMs, but they’re not allowed to talk. Well, this is, this is the thing that Allen Hall: I like watching your podcast. Howard Penrose: Yeah. Allen Hall: The Chaos and Caffeine. It comes out Saturday mornings. It’s on YouTube. If you haven’t- Yeah … clicked into it, you should click into it Howard Penrose: because a lot of these issues are discussed there. It’s definitely, um… [00:23:00] Let’s just say I’ll speak Navy quite a bit. Allen Hall: It’s a great podcast, and I think what you’re doing with the EMPath system- Yes … at motor dock is really a game changer. Yeah. I’m talking to everybody, all the operators I know. I keep telling them to call you and to try the system out because it’s so inexpensive and it does the work quickly and efficiently, and it’s been proven. There’s no messing- Oh, yeah … around when you’re talking to MotorDoc. I… Howard Penrose: Somebody dared tell me that there’s no standard for it. There’s ISO standards for it. Yes. There’s IEEE 1415- Yes … which I chair. Uh, and there’s other standards coming out- This is- … associated with it. And there’s a document that I also chair for Sea Gray- Called A178, which is the practical application of the technology. So it’s well-documented. There are traceable standards for it. I need more Allen Hall: operators to call you- Yeah … and to talk to you and get systems in the back of the trucks that they can use to check out the health of their gear boxes and their drive trains and their generators.

In this episode of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast, we tackle one of the most common sources of friction on a controls project: coordination between electrical, mechanical, and controls teams. As a building automation professional, you often sit directly between multiple trades. When responsibilities are unclear, a missing connection or misunderstood scope can quickly become a schedule problem, a budget problem, and eventually a relationship problem. This episode explores how you can approach those coordination points earlier and gain better visibility into the interfaces that affect your work. You'll hear how to identify potential gaps before they reach the field and how to navigate conflicts without damaging the working relationships you'll need on this project and the next one. Topics Covered Why electrical, mechanical, and controls handoffs break down Where Division 23 and Division 26 responsibilities can create scope gaps How furnish, install, and terminate responsibilities affect controls projects What to consider when coordinating controls interfaces and field dependencies How to approach jobsite conflicts while protecting schedules and relationships When controls sits in the middle of the project, you have a unique view of how the building fits together. This episode will help you think differently about using that position to keep projects moving.

Question: Should I use a mechanical or fixed blade broadhead, and what brands do you recommend? Answer: If I had a dollar for every time I've been asked this question, I could probably start manufacturing my own broadheads. Back when I was more of a fixture on the seminar circuit, I fielded this inquiry during every single show. My answer used to be pretty simple and straightforward: Shoot a sharp, durable, fixed-blade head. I started hunting...

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, sat in court today for some of the most difficult testimony of the trial so far. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the courtroom heard from three witnesses. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, testified about providing security watch at Clancy's hospital room following her alleged suicide attempt. Then came the harder part. Renee Stonebridge, neuropathology-trained and with the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, testified that all three children died of asphyxia, with significant brain swelling caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow. Dr. Barbara Olson, who performed the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruising on Cora was recent — though she couldn't pin down exactly when it occurred — and that both children would have felt pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Mechanical asphyxiation, she confirmed, killed them both.Court had to recess more than once as Clancy reacted emotionally to the testimony.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to jump from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
