Principle Power announces that floating offshore wind projects using the WindFloat technology have generated more than 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) of cumulative energy since WindFloat 1 was connected to the grid in 2011. This milestone demonstrates the maturity of the WindFloat designs, and the readiness of the company's 4th generation designs for commercial scale projects. The 1 TWh output includes generation from: WindFloat 1: 2 MW pilot in Portugal (2011-2016) and Scotland (2018-2020). WindFloat Atlantic: 25 MW project in operation since 2020 off the coast of Portugal. Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm: a 48 MW project in operation since 2021 off the coast of Scotland. Together, these assets have demonstrated robustness in severe Atlantic and North Sea conditions, withstanding waves of up to 20 meters and winds of up to 214 Km/h (equivalent to a Category 4 typhoon), while delivering exceptional performance. Floating offshore wind projects delivering more energy The WindFloat platforms enable maximum wind turbine generation through a combination of empirically validated features: Semisubmersible architecture, providing a stable platform that enables the system to comply with all wind turbine operational and extreme limits. A platform hull trim system that uses water ballast to counteract wind turbine-induced thrust forces, keeps the wind turbine oriented vertically (within 0-2 degrees >97% of the time), increasing energy generated by up to 2.5% versus passive platforms. A robust and redundant system architecture that is delivering an average platform availability of ~99% across the operating fleet. Julian Arrillaga Costa, Chief Executive Officer said: "Reaching the 1 TWh milestone is a clear validation of our WindFloat technology and the expert team we've built to support the design, delivery, and operation of floating wind projects worldwide. These projects have exposed us to the full range of complexity in the sector, providing valuable lessons that we are using to continuously refine and improve our technical and commercial offering. This depth of experience provides a strong foundation for delivering derisked, cost-effective commercial projects, supporting our vision of a planet powered by floating wind." Building on the experience of WindFloat Atlantic, Kincardine, and the under construction 30 MW Les Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion (EFGL) project that will be connected to the grid later this year, Principle Power is working closely with clients, suppliers, and operators to plan the delivery of the first generation of commercial scale floating wind projects in key markets, including France, South Korea, and the UK. These projects expect to feature 12-70 wind turbines of 15-20 MW each, nearly double the rated capacity of the wind turbines installed at WindFloat Atlantic and Kincardine. The operational data and insights from the first TWh of generation provide a strong basis of confidence for customers and their financial stakeholders, demonstrating that Principle Power and its WindFloat technologies have the proven track-record to scale floating wind projects and support the global expansion of the industry. Overview of Principle Power's operating track record: 12 WindFloat units installed or under installation or decommissioned. 13?years of field operational experience and 17 project-years of cumulative operations: WindFloat 1: 2011-2016 in Portugal plus 2018-2020 in Scotland. WindFloat Atlantic: 2020-present in Portugal. Kincardine: 2021-present in Scotland. 300,000 hours of cumulative operational experience. 1 TWh global WindFloat energy generated. ~99% platform availability. 0 (zero) lost time incidents. 20 m maximum wave height encountered. 214 Km/h (59.6 m/s) maximum wind speed encountered (equivalent to category 4 typhoon). Completed tow-to-shore floating wind turbine large corrective operations at Kincardine, proving the technical feasibility of the approach and yielding lessons to optimize planning for future tow...
The University of Galway is leading three new projects that aim to make medical treatments safer, faster and more effective after researchers secured the support of one of Europe's most prestigious funding programmes. The awards were made by the European Commission's Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions-Doctoral Network programme (MSCA DN), as part of Horizon Europe 2020. The programme supports researchers to become future leaders while investing in the University of Galway projects to improve lives and pave the way for better, more affordable healthcare. The network also provides training to make the researchers more creative, entrepreneurial and innovative, boosting their employability in the long term. One University of Galway project has an emphasis on sustainability and a move away from animal testing for brain disease; a second is looking at cardiovascular issues, specifically around improving heart stent durability and longevity; and a third seeks to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in clinical trials. Professor Fidelma Dunne, Director of the Institute for Clinical Trials at the University of Galway, said: "These projects show how research can make a real difference in people's lives. University of Galway is proud to be leading the way in creating smarter, safer, and more sustainable healthcare solutions." Professor Ted Vaughan, Interim Director of the Institute for Health Discovery and Innovation at the University of Galway, said: "These projects exemplify the mission of our new Institute - to accelerate fundamental and applied understanding of disease and enable disruptive solutions to health-based challenges. By combining cutting-edge science with collaborative training, we are not only advancing medical technologies but also shaping the next generation of research leaders. This investment from the European Commission underscores the importance of innovation that is ethical, inclusive, and focused on improving patient outcomes across society." The University of Galway projects funded by the Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions-Doctoral Network are: Dr Mihai Lomora leads the €4.2 million CerebroMachinesTrain Doctoral Network research project - Smarter Drug Delivery for Brain Diseases. Using advanced 3D brain models that mimic real brain tissue, the project will test tiny machines which are being developed to bring medicine exactly where it is needed. It avoids animal testing, making research faster, more ethical, and more accurate. Dr Lomora is a Lecturer and Principal Investigator in Bio(material) Chemistry at the University's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences in the College of Science and Engineering and a Funded Investigator at CÚRAM - the Research Ireland Centre for Medical Devices. This network project involves 14 partners from eight countries, including the US. Four PhD students will be supported through the project at the University of Galway. Dr William Ronan leads the €2.71 million MEDALLOY research project - Stronger, Safer Materials for Life-Saving Devices. It focuses on making materials used in minimally invasive medical devices - like stents and heart valve supports - stronger and longer lasting. Dr Ronan is a Lecturer and Principal Investigator in Biomedical Engineering at the University's College of Science and Engineering. The project includes partners from six countries - the US, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Czechia and Sweden. It will train nine PhD students, who will spend at least half of their time working directly in industry, earning hands-on skills ranging from material science to patient care. Dr Eimear Morrissey leads the €4.4 million EDICT research project - Advancing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Clinical Trials. It is a research and training network led by the Health Research Board-Trials Methodology Research Network, based at the University of Galway, which seeks to include older adults, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, or those from lower-income backgrounds in clinica...
SHOW NOTES: Welcome to another great show here on The Money Pit, where we're always here to remind you that you can do it yourself, but you don't have to do it alone! If you're a DIYer, join us for this week's top home improvement tips, including: - Home Improvement ROI: We unveil the top five home improvement projects that deliver the best return on your investment, perfect for boosting equity and impressing buyers. Learn why fall is a great time to start these projects due to cooler weather and more flexible contractor schedules. - DIY Pavestone Fire Pit: Get a step-by-step guide to building a modern square fire pit using Ladera Wall Block from Pavestone. This DIY-friendly project requires no cutting or special caps, making it a perfect weekend upgrade to transform your outdoor space with a rock-solid, heat-safe feature. - Color Trends for 2026: We explore the latest trends in color strategy for 2026, focusing on warm, earthy color palettes like terracotta, ochre, and olive, as well as soft textural neutrals and restorative darks. - Preventing Frozen Pipes: As the fall chill arrives, we offer crucial advice on preventing frozen pipes by disconnecting outdoor hoses, shutting off exterior spigots, and insulating exposed pipes in unheated areas. Q & A: - Robert from Michigan wonders if an air heat pump would be a more efficient heating solution for his older house with electric baseboard heat. A mini-split system is very efficient, but it's best to set the thermostat and leave it, using baseboard heat only as a backup for extra chilly days. - Mary from Delaware is replacing her 25-year-old shingles and asks about a replacement attic fan versus a ridge vent. We recommend a continuous ridge vent paired with soffit vents instead, since attic fans can pull air-conditioned air from the house into the attic and increase cooling costs. - Thurman from Arkansas has a blank wall and wants to know what's needed to install a new window. While it's a DIY-doable project for a smaller window, we suggest hiring a pro if he's not comfortable with disassembling and reassembling a load-bearing wall. - Steve needs guidance on repairing crumbling grout on his front stoop. We advise chiseling out the old grout and vacuuming loose debris, then using a Type M mortar that's recommended for its strength and applied with a piping bag.

Life of David Series by Pastor Rob Salvato The post David's Two Building Projects – 1 Chronicles 22 appeared first on Calvary Vista.
David's been productive this summer while he's been left unattended at home. A new gym mural, well cared for gym equipment, all signs of a good affiliate where someone cares.Jocelyn's been busy with CrossFit in a new role on the media side, hosting the CrossFit podcast at The Games in Albany, NY and chatting with a wide variety of super interesting individuals who are GETTING SHIT DONE. See a problem or a need in the world? These people didn't sit back and complain, they stepped up and did something about it. Follow along at https://www.youtube.com/@crossfit as the episodes are published over the next few months. Back at home, David and Jocelyn have been inspired by their son Atlas to revisit weighing and measure their food, bringing precision and accuracy to the "base of the pyramid" - ie nutrition.

Dive into the latest Maker's Quest podcast where Brian Benham details his epic root-over-rock chess table build and Greg Porter reveals his new guitar side-bending machine. A deep dive into custom woodworking and luthiery. Hosted by Brian Benham from Benham Design Concepts https://www.benhamdesignconcepts.com/ Brian's Blog https://www.briansbenham.com/ Brian Benham on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/benhamdesignconcepts.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXO8f1IIliMKKlu5PgSpodQ Greg Porter from SkyScraper Guitars https://skyscraperguitars.com/ Greg On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregsgaragekc/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SkyscraperGuitars YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GregsGarage Welcome back to the Maker's Quest podcast! In our latest episode, hosts Brian Benham and Greg Porter reconnect after a short hiatus, diving deep into the projects that have been consuming their time and creative energy. From the intricate challenges of custom furniture to the precise engineering of luthiery tools, this conversation is a masterclass in problem-solving and passion. Catching Up and a Note from Greg Greg kicks things off with a heartfelt apology for his voice, which is understandably rough. He's been battling long Covid for over a year, which has led to lung issues requiring a steroid inhaler. “Whatever steroids are in that inhaler just barbecue my vocal cords,” he explains. It's a poignant reminder of the very real, human challenges that creators often push through to pursue their craft. Brian's Monumental Vegas Project: The Root Over Rock Chess Table The centerpiece of Brian's update is a project he's just wrapped up and delivered: a stunning, one-of-a-kind chess table for a client in Las Vegas. The concept was a "root over rock" bonsai-inspired base supporting a glass-topped chess table. What sounds like a beautiful idea in a render became one of the most patience-testing projects of Brian's career. The Challenge of the Scribe: The entire base consists of sculpted walnut roots and a trunk that had to be meticulously scribed to fit perfectly around an amorphous rock form. The killer detail? It's visible on all sides. "There is no really good place to cheat it to the back," Brian says. "It just took a long time. There is a point halfway through where I was like, I don't know if this is going to turn out well... did I over-commit my skills?" He estimates a staggering 40-60 hours were spent on the scribing process alone. The project also required ingenious fixturing to use his CNC machine as a mill to create flat surfaces on the round trunk for the branches to join, battling software safety features along the way. In the end, the client was thrilled. The final piece, which pairs his walnut and wenge woodwork with a stunning silver-and-copper chessboard sourced from an artist in Mexico City, is a testament to the power of seeing a daunting vision through to completion. A Lesson in Design Collaboration: Brian also highlighted a small drawer on a accompanying vanity piece. The client insisted on a specific, sleek look that prioritized form over deep function, requiring Brian to modify hardware to fit. It was a perfect example of the collaboration and compromise inherent in custom work. "If you are just rigid on your own ideas, you're probably not going to end up with a good design," Brian notes. "It'll be very boxed-in." Greg's Luthiery Deep Dive: Engineering the Perfect Guitar Bender On the other side of the maker spectrum, Greg has been deep in the world of guitar building, specifically focused on solving a complex problem: building a better side-bending machine for acoustic guitar cutaways. The Cutaway Conundrum: A guitar's cutaway (the scooped section near the neck) allows for easier access to higher frets but presents a major bending challenge due to its tight, compound curves. Greg's goal was to create a machine that is not only effective but also a joy to use—a tool that produces repeatable, predictable results for both hobbyists and professionals building guitars worth tens of thousands of dollars. His new design features a unique hinged ram that bends the wood linearly, capturing it gradually rather than pressing from the center and hoping for the best. "It starts at one end and it kind of linearly bends it down into the form... it's the only one that'll be on the market that has that feature." The Tape Trick for Flawless Bends: Greg also shared a fantastic tip for preventing wood from splintering during extreme bends. Instead of using the traditional method of laminating linen and epoxy to the wood's outer face (which must be scraped off later), he discovered Captain Tape. This high-temperature tape, used in powder coating, can withstand the 350°F heat of the bending process. It contains the wood fibers perfectly, and when the bend is cool, it simply peels off, leaving a clean surface ready for finishing. The Maker's Mindset: Curiosity and Persistence This episode was a brilliant showcase of the maker mindset: Embrace the Hard Problems: Whether it's a multi-dimensional scribe or a complex mechanical pivot, both Brian and Greg lean into the challenges that scare them. Iterate Until It's Right: Greg went through four prototypes for his bender, obsessing over bolt lengths and clearances to create a refined, professional tool. Share Your Knowledge: From CNC software quirks to bending techniques, the drive to share hard-won knowledge with the community is what makes the maker world so rich.

Projects rarely go wrong. They start wrong. In this punchy breakdown, Jason spotlights Adam Beanie's framework and ties it to the builder's code Never yield ground so you can protect finished work, keep control, and deliver. The big miss: inadequate planning and starting before you're ready. Leadership alignment: PM and superintendent in lockstep or the job suffers. Scope change creep: why phased design spins teams out and how to stop it. Scheduling truth: CPM confusion vs the rhythm and flow of Takt. Team capability: put the right people on the bus and skill them up. Incentives: how contracts drive behavior and how to align them. Risk and information: continuous risk scanning and real time updates to the field. Clear. Applicable. Field ready. Press play, level up your next kickoff, and hold the ground you've earned.

It's September, Jess's favourite month of the year as it's her birthday and historically, it's the best time of year to sell to corporate companies. But, as 2025 continues to shape up as a tumultuous “year of chaos,” she's taking a fresh look at whether this golden window for B2B sales still holds up in today's market. In this episode, Jess gets real about the trends and challenges you can expect in the final sales quarter, including everything from shifting B2C strategies and income-grabbing tactics to the impact of economic and political changes on the corporate buying landscape. She'll also share why having a strong, adaptable sales process is more critical than ever—and how the rise of external suppliers, increased market competition, and changing budget cycles could affect your ability to land corporate clients. Jess also reveals the launch of the brand new Expert Services Directory—a proactive marketing platform connecting coaches, consultants, and service providers with over 16,000 decision-makers across the UK. So pour yourself a cup of coffee and join Jess as she unpacks what it REALLY takes to succeed Selling to Corporate this September, and how you can position yourself for success during the most pivotal quarter of the year. Here's what you need to know: 1. Why B2C Turbulence Impacts B2B Sales The entrepreneurial online space is, frankly, a bit wild right now. Between income grabs, desperate sales tactics, and people pivoting into new offers, the B2C market is flooded. But when solopreneurs can't make it B2C, they turn to Selling to Corporate — which means more competition (and, sometimes, less trust) in our B2B world. 2. Your Sales Process Matters More Than Ever Luck-based B2B sales? That's so 2019. This year, decision makers are wary and more selective about external suppliers—thanks to past overpromises and under-deliveries. The result: if your sales process isn't dialed in, you're set up for feast-and-famine revenue or worse, no results at all. Ask yourself: Are you consistently booking 5 (or more) qualified sales calls a month? Are you closing at least 3 out of every 5 calls? Does it take you more than 90 days to go from cold lead to signed client (for deals under 100k)? If you're not hitting those marks, it's time for a tune up. 3. The Opportunity Is Still Massive – IF You're Positioned Right Despite the uncertainty, over 58% of companies are more likely to hire external suppliers this year. Projects are unfinished, budgets need spending, and corporate resources are at their limits – they want outside help, and now's your chance. But, you need to stand out from the surge of new “consultants” and “coaches” sliding in from the struggling B2C arena. September still holds enormous potential for selling to corporate clients – but only for those with a strong sales process. This isn't the time to rely on word-of-mouth or dabble half-heartedly. Commit, get strategic, and focus on genuine lead generation and relationship-building.

In the 1930s, New Deal-era technocrats devised a solution to homelessness and poverty itself. They believed that providing free or low-cost urban housing projects could completely eliminate housing scarcity. Planners envisioned urban communities that would propel their residents into the middle class, creating a flywheel of abundance where poverty was eradicated. However, once construction began after World War II, these projects quickly became dangerous, poorly maintained slums, serving as breeding grounds for crime and decay. By the 1970s, crime rates were so high that levels of violence rivaled those of war zones in Sub-Saharan Africa. What happened? Why did so many of the best and brightest who promoted housing projects—like First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt or city planner Robert Moses—create one of the worst government debacles of the 20th century? Why didn’t they foresee that housing projects would become hotbeds of crime, completely destroying the social fabric of the neighborhoods they aimed to help? Today’s guest is Howard Husock, author of “The Projects: A New History of Public Housing.” He explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. We explore everything that went wrong and what can be done to avoid these same mistakes in the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason admitted he is wavering on his Ben Cherington claim that he would be gone at season's end, but he does believe the Pirates will still move on from their GM. Should the Pirates re-sign Andrew McCutchen? There is a good argument to bring back Tommy Pham, who has ended up being a pretty good offseason signing. Jason still has hopes Bob Nutting will look at the whole body of work and not just how the team played in the final month. Jason shared that Cherington is under contract through ‘at least' next season. Jason thinks Cherington stays if the Pirates finish this final month strong.

Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to experiments in labs or one-off pilot projects. For many enterprises, it is becoming the backbone of how they operate, innovate, and compete. But as companies race to deploy AI, the biggest challenge is not whether the technology works, but whether the foundations exist to scale it safely and effectively. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Christian Buckner, Senior Vice President of Data and AI Platform at Altair, a company known for combining rocket science with data science. Christian unpacks the concept of an AI Fabric, a framework that harmonizes enterprise data and embeds AI directly into a universal model. Rather than scattered tools and isolated projects, the AI Fabric acts as a living system of intelligence, helping organizations move faster, make better decisions, and unlock new kinds of automation. We talk about how global enterprises from automotive suppliers to petrochemical giants are already using Altair's technology to improve safety, optimize production, and cut costs. Christian shares examples including a transportation company that boosted revenue by $50 million in its first year of AI-driven dynamic pricing and a healthcare provider that saved $17 million in analysis time using knowledge graphs for drug discovery. The conversation also explores the hype and the risks around AI agents. While it is easy to spin up a proof of concept with a Python library, Christian explains why real enterprise impact requires governance, monitoring, and infrastructure to make agents trustworthy and sustainable. He likens it to building HR systems for AI, where agents need onboarding, oversight, and performance evaluation to operate alongside humans. We also touch on Altair's acquisition by Siemens and what this means for the future of industrial AI. By integrating Altair's data and AI expertise with Siemens' deep industrial systems, enterprises can add intelligence without ripping out existing infrastructure. The result is not about replacing workers but enabling them to become what Christian calls “10x employees,” augmented by AI tools and agents that multiply their effectiveness. For anyone curious about how AI will change product design, operations, and enterprise decision-making, this episode offers a rare inside look at the technology foundations being built today.
