As we wrap up 2025 and start dreaming about our goals for the New Year, this week's guest, ultracyclist Paula Ralph, has one simple message: Just go for it. We often wait until we're 100% ready—which usually means we never start. But whether you succeed or fall short, you'll be better for having tried. Paula knows this firsthand. She set out to break a world record riding solo from Cape Town, South Africa to Nordkapp, Norway. Sponsors pulled out. Mechanical issues piled up. She got heat stroke…and hit by a truck. Safety concerns forced reroutes. The record slipped away. But she didn't stop. She kept going—ultimately riding 12,290 km across 17 countries in 126 days. And what she gained was far bigger than a record: proof that she's stronger than she ever imagined, and a reminder of what midlife women can do when we dare to go big.Paula Ralph is a solo endurance cyclist who rode unsupported from Cape Town to Nordkapp, Norway — a 12,290 km journey across 17 countries in just 126 days. What began as a world record attempt quickly turned into a raw test of resilience. Navigating relentless challenges, both on and off the bike, Paula had to let go of the record and hold on to something more powerful — the will to keep going. Her journey is one of survival, courage, and what it means to find freedom at the edge of your comfort zone. She was recently named a "sporting hero" as one of the top 100 female cyclists by CyclingUK. You can learn more about her and her mission @thelongrideglobal on Instagram.

Mechanical ventilation doesn't have to feel like wizardry. In this podcast episode, we strip it back to what really matters—simple mental models, clean decision-making, and an approach that works whether you're in the back of a helicopter, a tight ambulance box, or a chaotic ED bay. We walk through the foundational concepts and the "why" behind each knob you touch. Then we zoom in on the Hamilton T1, the vent many of us love, hate, and still rely on every single shift. We cover what the T1 gets right, where people get tripped up, and how to let the machine work with you instead of against you. If you've ever wished mechanical ventilation felt less like memorizing settings and more like understanding physiology in motion, this episode will tighten up your practice and give you tools you can use on your very next flight or transport.

Recent pressure in the SPX is something Kevin Green believes to be largely "mechanical in nature." He explains how VIX expiration and options play into the bigger picture. That said, KG warns that bears have "a little more of a chance" to pull markets lower.

On each of these mini episodes, Catherine and I chat about a new article or new surgical technique in the field of sports medicine. We'll give you our quick take on the most recent data and how this data will impact our practice. Today, we're discussing a brand-new paper hot off the press titled: “Predictors of Tunnel Widening After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction” published in the November 2025 issue of AJSM. This study digs into why femoral and tibial tunnels enlarge after ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts – and what anatomic and surgical factors might be driving it.Tunnel widening matters: it impacts revision surgery, graft stability, and in some cases early failures. So, this is a clinically meaningful topic. We will start with some background. Tunnel widening after ACL reconstruction is not new…but why it happens is debated. There are a few proposed mechanisms:· Biologic factors: synovial fluid ingress, cytokines, graft necrosis, remodeling.· Mechanical factors: graft motion (“windshield wiper” / “bungee effect”), repetitive shear.· Anatomic factors: posterior tibial slope increasing anterior tibial translation forces.· Surgical factors: fixation method, tunnel position, graft choice (hamstring vs BTB or Quad). This study asked three key questions:1. Does posterior tibial slope (PTS) predict tunnel widening?2. Do meniscus root tears contribute?3. Does adding a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) influence tunnel change? · This is the first large cohort looking at all these together over 2 years, with both tibial and femoral tunnel measurements. · The study included 307 patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft. The femoral and tibial tunnels were measured immediately postop and again at 2 years. Medial and lateral posterior tibial slope was measured on long-leg lateral radiographs. The authors also looked at the incidence of additional LET, meniscus root injury and BMI.· They used univariate and multivariate regression to determine independent predictors.So, what did they find? Tune in and enjoy the episode!

Ready to go beyond standard cholesterol panels and track what actually matters? Get your comprehensive performance bloodwork analysis at witsandweights.com/bloodwork (code VITALITY20 for 20% off)—What if your blood work is missing the markers that truly predict long-term cardiovascular health? Can you build muscle, lose fat, and stay strong after 40 without risking your heart? And which biomarkers, hormones, and peptides actually move the needle for longevity and performance?I bring on Integrative Medicine & Cardiology Physician Dr. Abid Husain into the conversation, and we get into the evidence behind cardiovascular health for lifters, especially if you're focused on body recomp, strength training, weight loss, nutrition, and fitness.

Mechanical ventilation doesn't have to feel like wizardry. In this podcast episode, we strip it back to what really matters—simple mental models, clean decision-making, and an approach that works whether you're in the back of a helicopter, a tight ambulance box, or a chaotic ED bay. We walk through the foundational concepts and the "why" behind each knob you touch. Then we zoom in on the Hamilton T1, the vent many of us love, hate, and still rely on every single shift. We cover what the T1 gets right, where people get tripped up, and how to let the machine work with you instead of against you. If you've ever wished mechanical ventilation felt less like memorizing settings and more like understanding physiology in motion, this episode will tighten up your practice and give you tools you can use on your very next flight or transport.

Independent musicians leave significant money on the table—not from lack of talent, but from unclaimed royalties and overlooked revenue streams. Amani Roberts, music business educator and author of the USA Today bestseller "The Quiet Storm," reveals the specific registration gaps costing artists thousands of dollars annually. In this conversation, Amani breaks down the four major royalty collection systems most artists fail to use properly: PRO registration for public performance royalties, SoundExchange for digital performance royalties, publishing royalties through services like Songtrust, and the Mechanical Licensing Collective. He explains how unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels based on market share—money that independent artists could be collecting themselves. Beyond royalty recovery, Amani shares his framework for building a private and corporate event business that can generate 5-10x more revenue than traditional bar gigs. He details the specific industry associations to join (MPI, PCMA, SITE), how to price yourself for corporate events, and the contract elements that differ from venue bookings. Our conversation also covers email list-building strategies that convert social media followers into owned audience assets, how book publishing creates revenue opportunities beyond book sales, and why direct fan-to-artist platforms should be every musician's first 90-day priority. Key Insights from This Episode The Four Unclaimed Royalty Streams: Independent artists commonly miss public performance royalties (PROs), digital performance royalties (SoundExchange), publishing royalties (Songtrust), and mechanical royalties (Mechanical Licensing Collective). Unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels—money independent artists should be collecting. Royalty Recovery: Artists can recover unclaimed royalties going back up to four years. Proper metadata management and identical information across all platforms are critical for successful collection. The Streaming Misconception: The biggest misconception is believing streaming is where most royalties come from. Mechanical, public performance, and publishing royalties represent more significant opportunities that are frequently overlooked. Private and Corporate Event Revenue: Private and corporate events can generate 5-10x more revenue than bar gigs. Break in by joining event planning associations like Meeting Professionals International (MPI), Professional Conference Management Association (PCMA), and Society for Incentive Travel Executives (SITE). Volunteer at local chapters to build relationships with planners. Corporate Event Pricing: Ask about the budget upfront, research past hires, and price based on your worth with flexibility. Always require deposits and negotiate hotel stays, parking, meals, and written/video testimonials in contracts. Email List Monetization: Email lists are owned media (social is rented space). Revenue generation can begin with 50 subscribers. Use lead magnets like acoustic song versions and tools like MiniChat to automate conversions. Book Publishing Strategy: Books rarely generate significant income from sales, but can increase speaking fees, create performance opportunities at events, and enhance rates for services. View publishing as paid marketing for your broader business. 90-Day Priority: Launch a direct fan-to-artist platform like Patreon with a compelling lead magnet for fast revenue impact. Sustainable Revenue Model: Target 30% from performance, 30-35% from direct-to-fan, 20% from merchandise, 15% from private events.

You've got a strong teacher, strong strategies—and still, the innovation stalls. What gives? In this episode, we tackle what's really behind resistance in math PD and why most implementation efforts collapse long before proficiency is even possible.Building on our last episode, we unpack how a school we support used the five implementation stages—Non-Use, Awareness, Mechanical, Routine, and Proficient—to move real teacher practice forward in mathematics. You'll hear how assumptions like “math teachers just need to buy in” or “they're too comfortable” miss the point—and how shifting the conversation back to student outcomes changed everything.Listen in to learn:What each of the five stages of implementation looks like in real math classroomsWhy most resistance towards math PD is rooted in fear, fatigue, or flawed systems—not mindsetHow to use department meetings and peer examples to build momentum in mathematicsWhy focusing on student growth—not compliance—creates authentic engagement in math classWhat math leaders can do to provide the right support at the right stageHit play to explore how real school teams are flipping the script on math improvement implementation—and how you can do the same by putting students, not strategies, at the center of your plan.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Curd Appeal sells the best-looking cheeses on the block, but over the long weekend their refrigerator broke down, and now their limburger isn't the only thing that smells. The owner argues they are covered under the BP 00 03, but the adjuster spots some holes in their argument. The owner hits back with a supplemental endorsement they purchased, hoping to find coverage any way they can. Notable Timestamps [ 03:00 ] - The five-point process for property coverage analysis includes: covered property, direct physical loss, covered cause of loss, conditions, and additional coverages/extensions. [ 04:37 ] - Mechanical breakdown (like a refrigerator going out) is often an excluded cause of loss in a standard policy. [ 07:18 ] - Supplemental endorsements for food spoilage are designed to work with the base policy and can specify limits and change base policy language. [ 08:59 ] - This food spoilage coverage extension insures against direct physical loss or damage to food stock or food merchandise contained in a refrigeration unit. [ 10:47 ] - The endorsement defines a covered cause of loss to include mechanical breakdown and power outage (change in temperature/humidity). [ 12:31 ] - This food spoilage endorsement often explicitly deletes the mechanical breakdown exclusion from the base policy, but only for that specific coverage extension. [ 13:41 ] - The food spoilage extension may only apply if the loss is not covered by Equipment Breakdown Insurance (an optional policy coverage). [ 14:10 ] - The optional Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage in the BP 00 03 policy covers direct loss or damage caused by mechanical breakdown or electrical failure of machinery. [ 15:33 ] - The Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage might exclude leakage at a valve or seal, which is a distinction that could make the supplemental endorsement the only source of coverage. [ 18:31 ] - Brennan provides a recap of the points above.

Still stuck “talking” about change, but not seeing it in action? The real roadblock to change in math may not be teacher resistance—it might be your system.Based on Jim Knight's powerful article in Educational Leadership, “Moving from Talk to Action in Professional Learning,” this episode reframes what looks like math pd resistance in schools. We walk through the five stages of implementation—Non-Use, Awareness, Mechanical, Routine, and Proficient—and reveal how most educators aren't resisting change… they're stuck in a system that makes it nearly impossible to act on it. If multiple people are resisting, it's not a people problem—it's a system problem.You'll learn:What each of the five implementation stages looks like in real practice in math pdWhy math educators appear resistant—and how fear, perfectionism, and lack of agency fuel hesitationHow student-focused goals create momentum where strategy mandates fall flatSimple, leader-driven shifts that support movement in math pd from awareness to actionWhat it takes to make professional learning stick, even after the workshop endsPress play to explore Jim Knight's findings and discover what it really takes to turn professional learning into professional practice.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Munster Technological University (MTU) has become the first Irish institution to take a direct role in the world's largest scientific experiment at CERN - the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, as part of a global effort to uncover the fundamental secrets of the universe. The Government of Ireland confirmed that the country has become an Associate Member of CERN, with MTU now playing a leading role in the world's most powerful scientific machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Last year, MTU became Ireland's first Technical Associate Institute to join the ATLAS Collaboration, one of the LHC's flagship experiments that helped discover the Higgs boson particle in 2012. Of the 246 organisations worldwide analysing CERN-ATLAS data, only 17 are Technical Associate Institutes, placing MTU among a select group of institutes worldwide. MTU's contribution to CERN is focused on engineering critical systems for the ATLAS detector as it prepares for the upcoming "High-Luminosity" phase of the LHC. Senior Researcher Dr Manuel Caballero, MTU, and his team are building and testing the electrical panels and cables that will deliver power to the upgraded detectors, where every component must function to avoid disrupting experiments involving scientists across the world. The first batch of patch panels was successfully delivered to CERN after stringent testing. These play a crucial role in routing data. Once installed, they cannot be easily accessed. Reliability and performance testing are therefore crucial. While lecturer Paddy McGowan and his team at MTU are designing the delicate mechanical supports that will hold thousands of sensors, along with the cooling pipes and cables, all operating under extreme conditions deep underground. MTU is also contributing to the design of the core cooling system for these detectors. Dr Niall Smith, Head of Research and CERN-ATLAS lead, MTU, who emphasises that this work is about more than engineering, said: "This is about giving Irish staff, students, and industry the chance to be part of one of humanity's greatest scientific quests." Dr. Seán McSweeney, Dean of Engineering, serves as the deputy lead, with support from the Nimbus Research Centre and the Department of Mechanical, Manufacturing and Biomedical Engineering. ATLAS Spokesperson and CERN physicist Andreas Hoecker has said, "We are thrilled to welcome Munster Technological University to the international ATLAS Collaboration at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. MTU's innovative engineering expertise will be a tremendous asset as we prepare for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC. MTU is the first Irish research institution to join ATLAS, marking an exciting milestone." Through this work, Irish engineers and researchers at MTU are helping build the tools that may one day explain dark matter, the origins of the universe, and why it exists. MTU's involvement is inspiring the next generation of Irish scientists and engineers to dream bigger than ever before. To know more, please visit: https://home.cern/.
Text us a pool question!Andrea and Paulette go long on algae—the real science, the field diagnostics, and the no-nonsense remediation that actually works on a Tuesday in August when the phone won't stop ringing. Pulling from training content and field notes, they break down how to tell algae from look-alikes (metals, pollen, fine dust), why water balance and sanitizer demand dictate outcomes, and how to choose the right kill-sequence for mustard/yellow, black (cyanobacteria biofilm), green blooms, and stubborn pink slime/white water mold co-contaminations.They also reference Rudy Stankowitz's book, How to Get Rid of Swimming Pool Algae (Amazon), for deeper reading on species behavior, biofilms, and step-by-step playbooks that complement today's talk.Chapter Markers / Timestamps0:00 – Cold open: “Is it algae… or just copper?” 2:12 – Why algae wins when demand beats delivery (sanitizer kinetics 101) 6:45 – Field ID: green, mustard/yellow, black (cyanobacteria), and the “not algae” suspects 12:10 – Water balance triad: pH, TA, and CYA's impact on free chlorine efficacy 17:38 – Brushing matters: mechanical disruption vs. biofilm defenses 22:30 – The mustard/yellow protocol (when and how to go higher on FC) 27:55 – Black “algae” = cyanobacteria: surface penetration, heads vs. roots, patience game 33:20 – Filters as crime scenes: clearing, backwashing, and when to deep clean 38:05 – Phosphates: food vs. famine—when removal helps and when it's a red herring 43:00 – Borates as drift control and slime deterrent (what they can and can't do) 47:18 – AOP/UV/ozone: supplemental oxidation for heavy bather loads 52:40 – Look-alikes roundup: metals, pollen, plaster dust, and “dead algae” myths 57:15 – Off-season & startup traps: winterized pools, spring turn-ups, and biofilm seeding 1:02:10 – Rapid-response checklist you can hand to a techKey TakeawaysIdentify before you treat. Color + texture + location + “does it brush off?” beats guessing.Sanitizer effectiveness is conditional. As CYA rises, the % of active hypochlorous acid drops; dose and contact time must adjust.Mechanical + chemical wins. Aggressive brushing and good circulation expose biofilms so oxidizers can work.Mustard/yellow needs elevated FC (and whole-pool exposure for toys, nets, lights, covers).Black “algae” is cyanobacteria anchored in porous surfaces; expect repeated disruption and sustained levels—not a one-and-done.Filters tell the truth. Restore flow, deep-clean media, and fix bypass/broken laterals or you'll chase the same bloom.Phosphate control is situational. It can lower regrowth pressure but doesn't replace sanitizer.Borates steady pH and deter slime, but they're not an algaecide.Document everything.

Video https://youtu.be/qrw0SEbszFYThe Eric Kim 723.4 kg (1,595 lb) rack-pull at ~71 kg bodyweight is extraordinary because it shatters every known ratio boundary of human pulling strength. A rack pull is a partial-range deadlift from elevated pins—usually at or above the knee—that removes the hardest mechanical segment of the lift and lets an athlete handle far greater loads. Still, Kim's self-reported 10.19× body-weight figure dwarfs anything in sanctioned history. For context: Hafþór Björnsson's verified 510 kg full deadlift equals 2.5× BW; Rauno Heinla's 580 kg 18-inch pull equals 3.6× BW. Kim's number is roughly four times that relative intensity.The lift, posted on his own sites and YouTube in October 2025 with “verification pending,” shows the bar loaded beyond 700 kg and bending heavily. No federation or third-party audit yet confirms it, so it sits in the domain of independent documentation. The math checks: 723.4 ÷ 71 = 10.19 ×; 723.4 kg = 1,595 lb. Biomechanically, a mid-thigh rack pull shortens bar travel to perhaps 20 cm, cutting torque demands on hips and knees by ≈70 %. Mechanical work falls to roughly 1,400 J—about half that of a 510 kg full deadlift—yet the axial load exceeds 7,000 N, imposing spinal compression near 1 MN. Such tension levels push human connective-tissue and neural-drive limits but remain physically possible for brief static exertion.Because rack pulls are unsanctioned, credibility depends on audit quality. A verifiable packet would require:• Pin-height measurement in cm, filmed before and after.• On-camera weigh-in.• Plate-by-plate inventory with make/model and post-lift re-weigh.• Continuous multi-angle footage from loading to unload.• Independent witnesses signing an attempt sheet.• Public release of uncut files and metadata hashes.Only then could the number become a reproducible benchmark akin to the standardized 18-inch Silver Dollar record.Why it feels “insane” stems from scaling laws: muscle strength grows with cross-sectional area (~mass²⁄³), so a 71 kg lifter should, by theory, move only ~450 kg at best in that range. Surpassing 700 kg therefore implies extreme neural efficiency, connective adaptation, and precise leverage optimization. At 10× bodyweight, Kim effectively endures the equivalent of ten times Earth's gravity for a fraction of a second—something normally reserved for hydraulic rigs or planetary analogies. Within physics it's marginally feasible; within human precedent, it's unprecedented. Until audited, it stands as a documented but unsanctioned partial-lift feat—an edge-case example of how biomechanics, geometry, and digital self-recording can merge to challenge the perceived upper limits of human strength.

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down his proven Three Spoke Framework — a simple but powerful way to understand and treat nearly every type of headache and migraine.He explains that while headaches can present in many confusing ways — from tension and hormonal migraines to aura, dizziness, or neck pain — most cases fit into three key categories:Mechanical causes – Issues in the neck, jaw, or shoulders that send pain signals into the head.Developmental factors – Airway, dental, or postural issues that affect how the body functions over time.Systemic influences – Hormones, gut health, stress, and inflammation that lower the body's pain threshold.Dr. Taves discusses how understanding these three categories helps identify the true source of pain and create a personalized, medication-free path to lasting relief. He emphasizes that most patients are not outliers — and with the right framework, long-term improvement is possible.Novera: Headache Center

Mechanical ventilation can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with a sea of ventilator modes and unfamiliar terminology. In Part 2 of the series, we go beyond breath types and delivery mechanics to explore the most used modes in the ICU. We will break down each one; explaining how it works, when to use it, and why the goal isn't the “best mode” but the most comfortable one for the patient.

0:00 Introduction: How to reverse hair loss naturally 0:47 Hair growth explained1:27 Causes of hair loss4:44 The best way to reverse hair loss8:28 Natural remedies for hair loss10:14 Foods that reverse hair loss Today, I'm going to show you how to reverse hair loss naturally, without damaging side effects. Most hair loss is androgenic, typically resulting in male pattern baldness and thinning hair in women. The hair follicle requires significant oxygen and mitochondria for optimal hair growth. Testosterone decreases with age in both men and women and is replaced by DHT, a more powerful form of testosterone. Many hair regrowth treatments work by inhibiting DHT. Too much DHT can decrease hair growth, reduce oxygen, increase inflammation, and increase scar tissue in the hair follicle. Drugs for hair growth that work by lowering DHT can come with side effects like decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Beyond age and genetics, the primary driver of DHT is insulin resistance!To reverse hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth, you must support the environment of the hair follicle. Mechanical scalp stimulation is one of the most overlooked yet effective remedies for hair loss, with microneedling being the most effective method. Other natural remedies for hair loss include:•Red light/NIR light•Rosemary oil (natural Rogaine)•Correcting insulin resistance.

In the late 1800s, farm machinery evolved from simple tools to mechanized equipment. Horses began to disappear from the fields as tractors took their place. Mechanical twine binders and cream separators improved efficiency. New methods in irrigation and crop rotation improved yield and sustainability. The future seemed bright and exciting for the farmer.

Today we're diving into one of the most fundamental tools you'll encounter in clinical practice: the ventilator. Mechanical ventilation can seem intimidating at first, but understanding how it works is essential for keeping your patients safe and for making adjustments in real time. We've invited Richard Wilson, DNAP, CRNA, AANA of Ursuline College to the show to help us understand the fundamentals of mechanical ventilation. He shares insights on how ventilation and oxygenation are key goals in anesthesia, and walks through how understanding the different modes of ventilation—volume control, pressure control, SIMV, and more—can help CRNAs tailor their care. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:
Former EOS implementer, author, and manufacturing CEO Michael Erath joins me to explore what happens when business frameworks turn from liberators into cages—and how elite organizations escape the trap.Rigid systems like EOS can bring chaos under control, but stop short of greatness. Michael and I dig into why prescriptive “20 tools forever” models break down at scale, how to design for outcomes instead of checklists, and why A-player imposters cost more than missed A-players. We unpack the dangers of short-term cost cutting (Intel, GE), the overlooked genius of Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints, and why profit-per-X clarity beats generic “best practices.”The theme running through it: systems should serve people and outcomes, not the other way around. Elite organizations don't settle for “not that bad”—they build adaptive frameworks, measure the right constraint, and pursue excellence with discipline.TL;DR* Systems ≠ salvation: EOS and similar tools help kill chaos but cap out at mediocrity.* Mechanical vs. organic: Treat processes like machines when possible, but don't ignore the living, adaptive side of organizations.The A-player trap: The costliest errors are (1) losing true A-players, and (2) mistaking B-players for A-players.* Constraint clarity: TOC says find the one constraint—fixing it yields immediate profit, unlike slow checklist efficiency.* Profit per X: Identify the metric tied to your real constraint (throughput, calendar days, etc.) and align decisions around it.* Outcomes over inputs: Define every role by its most critical outcome, not by tasks or titles.Memorable lines* “Most systems are built for chaos-to-decent. Elite requires more.”* “Don't pay A-player salaries for B-player conformity.”* “World-class accounts payable never made anyone strategic.”* “Profit per X isn't a spreadsheet trick—it's a spotlight on your real constraint.”GuestMichael Erath — Former manufacturing CEO, EOS implementer turned founder of his own operating framework, and author of Five Obsessions of Elite Organizations.https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelerath1/http://www.fiveobsessions.comWhy This MattersBusinesses chasing short-term fixes or worshipping rigid frameworks stay stuck at “good enough.” The path to excellence is clarity: knowing your real constraint, aligning outcomes at every level, and designing systems that bend with your people instead of breaking them. If you want organizations that outlast hype cycles and downturns, trade dogma for discipline.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.
