Send us Fan MailDue to technical difficulties we bring back a great episode with JATC instructors to make volts, amps, current, and watts feel practical for low voltage work as PoE and modern power delivery move into our lane. We trade water-pressure analogies, real safety stories, and jobsite mistakes so you can size power correctly and stop burning up gear. • why PoE and fault managed power make electricity fundamentals mandatory for ICT techs • voltage as electrical pressure between two points and why “low voltage” depends on audience • how voltage ratings and mixed cabling types can create code and safety issues • amps, current, and heat as the real-world limiters for conductors, bundles, and racks • AC vs DC confusion in the field and how mismatched power supplies destroy equipment • electrical safety explained as volts and amps combining into dangerous wattage in the body • watts as work, watt-hours as billing, and why PoE wattage keeps climbing • end-of-line voltage, resistance, and voltage drop affecting device performance • common low voltage mistakes with power delivery and how to avoid “letting the smoke out” • learning resources: All About Circuits, manufacturer PoE training, EveryCircuit, FOA and Uncle Ted's If you're watching the show on YouTube, would you mind hitting the subscribe button and that bell button to be notified when new content is being produced?

Every genre has a shadow canon — the writers who don't make the syllabus, don't sell out on Amazon, and rarely get the Netflix series. In science fiction, that shadow canon is where some of the most intellectually adventurous, politically serious and formally daring work of the twentieth century was done. Having opened the series with the big names — Wells, Verne, Poe, the Mount Rushmore of the genre — John and Ezri jump forward to the late 1960s and 1970s and turn to five authors most listeners won't know: Kate Wilhelm, Joanna Russ, John Sladek, John Brunner and Christopher Priest. Feminist SF, satirical SF, dystopian SF set in a Britain going to the dogs. The thread that connects them is "prescience", a word that keeps coming up. Were these writers really predicting the future – or just paying close enough attention to the present? In this episode: Why 1969 makes such a strange hinge point — Apollo 11 and the realisation of Goddard's cherry-tree dream, set against the assassinations of 1968, Vietnam, Prague, Altamont, and the first wave of environmental science Kingsley Amis, New Maps of Hell, and the New Wave: Moorcock's New Worlds, Ballard's "inner space", and SF's discovery that it could not avoid politics Kate Wilhelm — Hugo, Nebula and Locus winner for Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang, a co-founder of the Clarion Writers' Workshop who is now better known as a mystery writer Joanna Russ — The Female Man, written in 1970 but unpublished until 1975, and How to Suppress Women's Writing; a Westinghouse Science Talent Search finalist who chose literature as her weapon John Sladek — the satirist whose robot in Tik-Tok has had its "asimov circuits" go on the blink, and whose hoax book on a thirteenth sign of the zodiac proved people will believe anything stated with enough confidence John Brunner — the "Club of Rome Quartet", the novel that coined "worm" for self-replicating code, and Stand on Zanzibar, set in 2010 and unsettlingly familiar by the time we got there Christopher Priest — Fugue for a Darkening Island and A Dream of Wessex, the racial framing Priest himself later grappled with, and The Prestige (with David Bowie as Tesla) The big question under all of it: what is the difference between prescience and prediction — and is it significant that "prescience" contains the word "science"?

In the 1960s, Satanic Cinema took on a life of its own. Mostly left behind were the humorous portrayals and worn old tales that had already been told over and over again. New filmmakers were bringing the Devil to life onscreen through the works of Poe and H.P. Lovecraft and by way of both old curses and modern versions of witchcraft. But it would take Hammer Films – that bastion of gothic horror and vampires – to bring audiences the film that would kick off a diabolical series of movies that would soon terrify the world.In this episode, we'll be taking a deep dive beyond Roger Corman's satanic Poe films into THE DEVIL RIDES OUT, the Christopher Lee thriller from 1967 with special guest, Orrin Taylor.And if you're curious about our 1930s radio show tangent, you can find episodes of I LOVE A MYSTERY online at https://archive.org/details/otr_iloveamysteryAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us Fan MailWe come back live after a short break and jump into rapid fire field questions that hit the real pressure points in structured cabling work. We talk about protecting quality, protecting profit, and building a career that keeps up with the pace of the low voltage industry. • planning cable bundles before the first pull so racks stay clean • keeping the telecom room controlled so patching does not undo your work • choosing Velcro for serviceability and avoiding overtightened ties • using ANSI style rack unit and port numbering for small installs • avoiding estimating traps like missing labor factors and wrong averages • budgeting mobilization time and project management hours up front • catching scope gaps early and treating change orders like leverage • separating certifications from competence while staying a continuous learner • treating closeout as a day one process with documentation and test results • learning project management skills after you have real field reps • understanding pathways, bend radius, fill ratios, and why they matter • explaining to management that quality prevents expensive rework • balancing fiber growth with copper realities for PoE and edge devices • earning leadership opportunities through solutions, clarity, training, and accountability If you ever have any questions, DM me and I'll help answer those for you for your studying.

The year is 1878. Detectives in fiction had cut shapes before (Poe, Collins and Gaboriau had all experimented) but few woman, if any, had ever been credited for work in the genre, let alone acclaimed. Along comes Anna Katherine Green, metaphorically brandishing "fingers up" to the establishment and bestowing upon the literary world this classic narrative. "The Leavenworth Case" is a story of two secretive cousins, a complex murder investigation and the lovestruck young lawyer driven to prove their innocence. It was a landmark publication when it appeared, impressively advancing the chains of the genre and introducing the world to Detective Ebeneezer Gryce in his first of 13 appearances. Thanks to Green, the modern mystery was about to get a transformative kick in the posterior!FastFacts@15:00; Summary@38:30; PIPES@1:20:00
A hundred years ago this spring, a magazine called Amazing Stories hit the newsstands and — almost by accident — gave a name and a shape to the genre we now call science fiction. Its publisher, Hugo Gernsback, was an immigrant electrical engineer, visionary and relentless self-promoter. He wanted his magazine to delight and enthrall – but also to educate. In this opening episode of The Tech Imaginarium, John and Ezri go back to 1926 to ask why this peculiar pulp magazine matters — and why its mix of techno-optimism, prophetic vision and dystopic warnings still echoes through the way we talk about technology today. In this episode: Hugo Gernsback: Luxembourg-born inventor, publisher of Amazing Stories, and author of stories under at least seven anagrams of his own name The strange scientific weather of 1926 — electrification, mustard gas, Einstein, Schrödinger and Hubble — and why it primed the public for "scientifiction" The first issue's contributors: Wells, Verne and Poe in one corner; George Allan England, G. Peyton Wertenbaker and Austin Hall in the other Robert Goddard, H.G. Wells and the through-line from pulp magazines to the Apollo Moon launches Why Gernsback's reputation was contraversial — paying writers poorly, exaggerating circulation, etc. The tropes Amazing Stories planted that we're still living with Links and resources: Website: learninghackpodcast.com Instagram: @tech.imaginarium Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JohnHelmerConsulting Music by Nick Dwyer and Flintet.

Send us Fan MailPublished December 17, 1927 in the Saturday Evening Post, "A Short Trip Home" is most notable as one of a handful of supernatural short stories F. Scott Fitzgerald published throughout his career. Indeed, the Post almost declined the story because they weren't keen on tales of specters, wraiths, or apparitions, but ultimately they couldn't resist his prose. In this tale, a St Paul college boy, Eddie Stinson, takes it upon himself to protect local girl Ellen Baker from a mysterious man named Joe Varland---who appears to be from another dimension. We explore this story in the tradition of spoooky tales from Poe to Henry James while examining Fitzgerald's love of trains and the Midwest. Although not a famous story, "A Short Trip Home" demonstrates how adept Fitzgerald was when he decided to take on a specific genre in popular fiction.
Kchu imachem devarim v'shuvu el Hashem — take words with you, and return to Hashem.Likutey Moharan, Torah Daled (Torah 4) — Shiur 3, learned be'iyun. We go deeper into Os Daled: what da'as really is, and the Baal Shem Tov's secret that the repair you're looking for is already hidden inside the very thing that's broken.What we cover:The recap — me'ein Olam Haba — yediya shleima is knowing shekol me'ora'osav hem l'tovaso, that everything is for the good. Two modes today — HaTov Vehameitiv (the good revealed) and Dayan Emes (the broken) — and the future where it's all HaTov Vehameitiv.Letters are energy — the osiyos Hashem used to create the world are energy points; our words and our experiences become entangled tzerufim. Vidui devarim is taking the broken, jumbled letters of your story and rearranging them back to Hashem.The Baal Shem Tov's chiddush — nega and oneg — mehapech nega l'oneg. It's not a cute wordplay: nega (the deepest stuckness) and oneg (the highest delight) are built from the same letters — ayin, nun, gimmel — only the arrangement differs. So stop hunting for new "letters" outside yourself. Go into the very letters affecting you and rearrange them. The fixing is always already there — that's a core revelation of pnimiyus haTorah.Shame and the Tell-Tale Heart — why we can't find Hashem in our darkest places: shame tells us a part of our story is "unintegratable," so we bury it. (A striking mashal from Poe's Tell-Tale Heart — the buried thing keeps beating until it surfaces.) The cure: honesty before Hashem — You created me, You know me, it's all from You anyway — which lets us integrate and elevate the broken serufim.What da'as actually is — ikkar ha'da'as hu achdus shel chasadim u'gevuros. Da'as isn't knowing about opposites — it's the integration of them. The three mochin: chochma (the flash), bina (the unpacking), and da'as ha'mispashet — drawing the mind down into lived, embodied, emotional experience, where it's never clean, always chesed and gevura mixed together. Full da'as is holding them as one. V'yadata hayom v'hasheivosa el levavecha.Rebuilding the self — the aveiros engraved on the bones; kol atzmosai tomarna — through dibbur and vidui devarim we destroy the broken tziruf and rebuild a malchus d'kedusha: a healthy self-perception. Your thoughts are a language too — reorient the narrative, in vulnerability rooted in the safety of being loved no matter what.—#LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #BaalShemTov #Daas #ViduiDevarim #Torah4

El cuento que vais a escuchar hoy nos traslada a un Japón antiguo, marcado por la guerra, el honor y la culpa. Una historia de lealtad y deuda, pero también de errores irreparables. Durante diecisiete días de lluvia incesante, un joven se enfrenta a una tarea imposible: ayudar a morir a quien ha sido su maestro… y casi su padre. Óscar Navas (Mataró, Barcelona, 1975) es oficialmente ingeniero informático, aunque lleva tiempo programando pesadillas. Ha participado en más de setenta antologías, moviéndose con soltura entre el terror, la ciencia ficción —con especial atención al steampunk— y la fantasía. Entre sus reconocimientos destacan ganar el I Concurso Terror en Voz Alta, dedicado a la ficción sonora, la selección en Fabricantes de sueños 2016-2017 (Pórtico-AEFCFT), o quedar finalista en el II Concurso de Relatos del Golem Fest (2023) y en el XXVIII Certamen Domingo Santos (2019, Pórtico-AEFCFT). Su primer título en solitario, La máquina del despertar, inauguró la colección PulpStories de Cazador de Ratas Editorial, dedicada a recuperar el espíritu del bolsilibro. Varias de sus historias han pasado del papel al audio: iTrust, El hambre, Un dedal de sangre o Las que pintaron la oscuridad han tenido versión en audiorrelato. Además, otras narraciones han formado parte como artista invitado en varias giras de De Viva Voz por España, donde se leyeron en público junto a homenajes a Poe y Lovecraft. Le interesan los fantasmas, el tiempo y la muerte. Cree que el mundo sería mejor si se leyera más a Ray Bradbury y David Bowie fuera una religión. - Narración: Juan Carlos Albarracín - Locución Sintonía: Antonio Runa - Música: Epidemic Sound, con licencia - Imagen: Pixabay, con licencia https://pixabay.com/es/illustrations/samurai-guerrero-japon%c3%a9s-espada-2306032/ ------- Contrata tu IVOOX PREMIUM anual desde este enlace y además de obtener un suculento 50% de descuento y de poder escuchar TODOS los programas de esta plataforma sin publicidad, estarás ayudando a sostener Los Cuentos de la Casa de la Bruja: https://www.ivoox.vip/premium?affiliate-code=27e5799d254c8a29ecdab3d8d5bfa96f ------- Los Cuentos de la Casa de la Bruja es un podcast semanal de audio-relatos de misterio, ciencia ficción y terror.

El cuento que vais a escuchar hoy nos traslada a un Japón antiguo, marcado por la guerra, el honor y la culpa. Una historia de lealtad y deuda, pero también de errores irreparables. Durante diecisiete días de lluvia incesante, un joven se enfrenta a una tarea imposible: ayudar a morir a quien ha sido su maestro… y casi su padre. Óscar Navas (Mataró, Barcelona, 1975) es oficialmente ingeniero informático, aunque lleva tiempo programando pesadillas. Ha participado en más de setenta antologías, moviéndose con soltura entre el terror, la ciencia ficción —con especial atención al steampunk— y la fantasía. Entre sus reconocimientos destacan ganar el I Concurso Terror en Voz Alta, dedicado a la ficción sonora, la selección en Fabricantes de sueños 2016-2017 (Pórtico-AEFCFT), o quedar finalista en el II Concurso de Relatos del Golem Fest (2023) y en el XXVIII Certamen Domingo Santos (2019, Pórtico-AEFCFT). Su primer título en solitario, La máquina del despertar, inauguró la colección PulpStories de Cazador de Ratas Editorial, dedicada a recuperar el espíritu del bolsilibro. Varias de sus historias han pasado del papel al audio: iTrust, El hambre, Un dedal de sangre o Las que pintaron la oscuridad han tenido versión en audiorrelato. Además, otras narraciones han formado parte como artista invitado en varias giras de De Viva Voz por España, donde se leyeron en público junto a homenajes a Poe y Lovecraft. Le interesan los fantasmas, el tiempo y la muerte. Cree que el mundo sería mejor si se leyera más a Ray Bradbury y David Bowie fuera una religión. - Narración: Juan Carlos Albarracín - Locución Sintonía: Antonio Runa - Música: Epidemic Sound, con licencia - Imagen: Pixabay, con licencia https://pixabay.com/es/illustrations/samurai-guerrero-japon%c3%a9s-espada-2306032/ ------- Contrata tu IVOOX PREMIUM anual desde este enlace y además de obtener un suculento 50% de descuento y de poder escuchar TODOS los programas de esta plataforma sin publicidad, estarás ayudando a sostener Los Cuentos de la Casa de la Bruja: https://www.ivoox.vip/premium?affiliate-code=27e5799d254c8a29ecdab3d8d5bfa96f ------- Los Cuentos de la Casa de la Bruja es un podcast semanal de audio-relatos de misterio, ciencia ficción y terror.

In this action-packed live stream episode of HVAC School, host Bryan is joined by Eric Kaiser, Ty Branaman, and Roman Baugh for a continuation of a deep-dive conversation on vacuum practices — picking up where a previous episode left off with Andrew Greaves and Jim Bergmann. The team sets out to both reinforce the foundational best practices every HVAC technician should follow and to explore some genuinely uncharted scientific territory around how vacuum gauges actually work, how refrigerant contaminates micron gauge readings, and what really happens to moisture inside a system when temperatures drop below freezing. A central revelation of the episode is Eric's explanation that modern electronic vacuum (micron) gauges do not actually measure pressure directly — they measure heat transfer and translate it into a pressure reading. Because these gauges are calibrated to nitrogen or air, the presence of refrigerant vapor in a system (which has roughly three times the heat conductivity of nitrogen) can cause the gauge to display a falsely high reading. This means a technician could believe the system still has poor vacuum when it may actually be further along than indicated — or, more concerning, that a system appears to have passed vacuum when contamination is still present. The team acknowledges that controlled experiments are needed to quantify exactly how much refrigerant affects the reading, and they commit to designing those tests. The conversation then pivots into the physics of water at the triple point — the precise pressure (4,580 microns) and temperature (32°F) at which water can exist simultaneously as solid, liquid, and vapor. Eric walks the audience through a phase diagram built from International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam data, explaining that once pressure drops below the triple point, liquid water no longer exists. Any moisture in the system either sublimes directly from solid ice to vapor or remains frozen. This has major practical implications: a system with ice inside can still pull down to a very deep vacuum, but will not pass a decay test until that ice is fully sublimated — which requires both sufficient vacuum depth and available heat energy. The colder the ambient environment, the deeper the vacuum must go to create the temperature differential needed to drive sublimation. The episode wraps with an illuminating discussion on refrigerant oils — specifically the differences between POE (polyolester) and PVE (polyvinyl ether) oils and how each interacts with moisture in fundamentally different ways. POE chemically bonds with water through hydrolysis, breaking down into acid and alcohol and permanently degrading the oil. PVE, on the other hand, physically traps moisture through surface tension and can hold up to twice as much water as POE, but remains chemically stable. This distinction affects vacuum strategy, dryer sizing, and long-term system reliability — particularly in VRF and cold-climate heat pump systems where compressor oil management is far more complex. Topics Covered Core vacuum best practices refresher: large hoses, removing valve cores, skipping the manifold, using clean pump oil, micron gauge placement, and decay testing Why micron gauges measure heat transfer — not pressure — and how refrigerant vapor causes false-high readings on the gauge The impact of refrigerant retained in compressor oil on vacuum accuracy and the potential role of nitrogen sweeps in displacing refrigerant molecules Triple point science: what happens to moisture when pressure drops below 4,580 microns and why liquid water no longer exists below that threshold How ice inside a system can allow a deep vacuum pull-down while still failing a decay test, and what that means for cold-climate HVAC work The role of heat during evacuation: why adding heat accelerates moisture removal and how deep vacuum increases temperature differential to drive sublimation Cold-climate challenges: vacuum pump limitations, micron gauge accuracy at low temperatures, and the physics of dry air in freezing environments Triple evacuation and nitrogen purging: whether nitrogen disrupts oil pockets, displaces refrigerant, or both — and why the team wants to test it Nitrogen tank quality concerns: the possibility that low-grade nitrogen could introduce moisture and whether an inline dryer would help Using system flush chemicals: why Ty cautions against flushing agents and the risks of adding additional chemicals that break down oil POE vs. PVE oil chemistry: how POE undergoes hydrolysis when exposed to moisture (creating acid) versus how PVE physically traps water without chemical breakdown Dryer strategy for large commercial systems, VRF, and VRV: filter dryer sizing, core pulls, oil sampling, and why an "oil dialysis machine" would be a game-changer Plans for future controlled experiments: testing refrigerant effects on micron gauges, ice behavior at various temperatures, and vacuum performance in cold climates Industry influence over time: how community-driven knowledge sharing has already shifted vacuum and refrigerant practices over the past decade Whether you're a residential technician looking to sharpen the fundamentals or a commercial refrigeration specialist wrestling with VRF oil contamination, this episode delivers both practical takeaways and a front-row seat to the scientific inquiry that drives best practices forward.

Big Blue Bubbles, Nylog Truths & CO₂ Oil Mysteries (w/ John Pastorello) | Advanced Refrigeration PodcastBrett Wetzel and Kevin Kompus open with shop-talk about chaotic workloads, out-of-town jobs colliding with local work, a thrown-out back from flipping coffin cases, and joking about “not looking” at oil sample results. They welcome guest John Pastorello, founder of Refrigeration Technologies, who shares his path from bench chemist to HVAC/refrigeration tech to contractor, then into product formulation after back issues. John explains how he developed Big Blue as a refrigerant-compatible bubble leak detector and why spray application helps identify leaks, then discusses Nylog's origins, red (mineral oil) vs blue (POE) versions, and cautions against using Nylog alone on high-pressure CO₂ systems. They review a CO₂ oil analysis, sampling locations, possible contaminants, and why some bubble sprays can trigger electronic leak detectors due to chlorinated preservatives, and John also critiques harsh coil-cleaner chemistry and private-equity buyouts.

Hey — let's talk Gothic. If you loved the Wuthering Heights episode but aren't sure what “Gothic” means, here's a friendly, no‑pressure rundown: it's a literary vibe that exploded in the late 1700s and early 1800s (part of Romanticism) and stuck around because people couldn't get enough of spooky mystery, big feelings, and weird houses. At its core Gothic mixes suspense and the supernatural with secrets from the past: ghosts (or things that feel like ghosts), hidden diaries or cursed heirlooms, murmured scandals, and the sense that history is still very much alive — and maybe angry. Stories often leave the door open between a rational explanation and the uncanny, so you're always wondering what's real. The setting matters: remote, isolated places—windy moors, stormy cliffs, spooky woods, and usually a grand but slightly crumbling manor. That atmosphere of beauty plus decay is basically Gothic's aesthetic fingerprint. Protagonists are frequently women, which made these books especially thrilling for female readers back when options for adventurous stories were limited. Other common threads: intense emotion over reason, troubled or doomed romances, the ever‑present shadow of death, and objects that carry memory or menace. Short stories work great as an intro (hello, Poe), and novellas are perfect if you want a quick, delicious chill. Gothic isn't one thing — it splinters into cool subgenres. Southern Gothic, for example, folds in religious hypocrisy, the legacy of violence, and heavy landscape feeling. Contemporary takes like Mexican Gothic (Silvia Moreno‑Garcia) remix classic Gothic tropes—isolated mansions, family secrets—with new cultures, histories, and anxieties. Other great touchstones: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca, The Turn of the Screw (Bly Manor), Shirley Jackson's Hill House, Daphne du Maurier, Edgar Allan Poe, and even films like Crimson Peak that lean into the look and mood. Gothic also shows up in real cultural practices and local histories: think of rituals that try to heal a place's memory or reckon with past violence. Those real world echoes are part of what keeps the genre alive and relevant — it's not just spooky houses, it's how communities remember and reckon with what happened there. If you want to dive in, try a Poe short story, a classic like Jane Eyre, or a modern pick like Mexican Gothic or a T. Kingfisher novella. And hey — if you've got favorites, tell us. I want to know what weird, moody books give you chills.
