Grandpa Bill talks about Qi Gong-Hello and thank you for tuning into "Workouts for Geriatrics, AKA, Silver Streakers, Good for All Kids from 1-92!" I'm your host, Grandpa Bill, and today on the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast, we're diving into a practice that's as ancient as it is effective for a long and healthy life: Qi Gong.Now, you might have heard of Tai Chi, but Qi Gong is its close cousin, and in many ways, its parent. The name itself is a clue: "Qi" (pronounced "chee") is the life force or energy that flows through our bodies, and "Gong" means cultivation or work. So, Qi Gong is the art of cultivating and working with our life energy.An Overview of Qi GongSo, what exactly does a Qi Gong session look like? Well, it's not about breaking a sweat or lifting heavy weights. It's about slow, mindful movements, coordinated with deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Think of it as a moving meditation.The core principles are:Gentle Movement: The movements are soft, fluid, and circular. We're not pushing our bodies to their limits; we're coaxing them into a state of balance.Mindfulness: The mind is focused on the body, on the breath, and on the feeling of Qi flowing. This helps to calm the nervous system and reduce stress.Deep Breathing: We breathe from the belly, not the chest. This helps to oxygenate the blood, calm the mind, and energize the body.Example: The Wall ExerciseNow, for a simple and effective Qi Gong exercise you can do right now, I'm going to teach you "The Wall Exercise." All you need is a wall.Find your spot: Stand with your back against a wall, about a foot away.Slide down: Slowly slide your back down the wall until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, as if you're sitting in an invisible chair. Make sure your back is flat against the wall.Breathe deeply: As you hold this position, breathe deeply and slowly. Feel the strength in your legs, but also the calm in your mind.Rise up: After a few breaths, slowly and gently push yourself back up the wall to a standing position.Repeat: Do this a few times, increasing the hold time as you feel more comfortable.This exercise is fantastic for building leg strength, improving balance, and calming the mind. It's safe, effective, and can be done by anyone, no matter their age or fitness level.Why Qi Gong is a perfect workout for "Silver Streakers"Joint-friendly: The slow, gentle movements are easy on the joints, making it a great alternative to high-impact exercises.Improves balance: Many Qi Gong exercises focus on balance, which is crucial for preventing falls as we age.Reduces stress: The combination of mindful movement and deep breathing is a powerful stress-reliever.Increases energy: By cultivating Qi, we can increase our vitality and energy levels, helping us to feel younger and more vibrant.So, whether you're 19 or 92, Qi Gong has something to offer. It's a journey into your own inner energy, a way to connect with your body and mind, and a path to a healthier, more balanced life.#QiGong,#GeriatricFitness,#GrandpaBill,#SilverStreakers,#WorkoutsForGeriatrics,#HolisticHealing,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#MindfulMovement,#Longevity,#AncientWisdom,

When a subscriber opens your box, do they instantly know what to do with what's inside? If the answer is “maybe” or “I'm not sure,” that's a problem. Because when your box isn't consumable, you're leaving money – and retention – on the table. In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm breaking down what it really means to create a consumable subscription box and why it matters so much for retention. Plus, I'll share five practical ways you can make your box easier to use, more engaging, and more shareable. What Does “Consumable” Really Mean? When I say your box should be consumable, I don't necessarily mean edible or disposable. Consumable means your box invites action. Subscribers know exactly what to do with what's inside. They can use it, style it, or enjoy it right away. If it's a craft box, can they see what the finished product should look like? If it's a self-care box, do they know how to use the items included? If it's a lifestyle box, can they imagine where the item fits into their daily life? Without those cues, subscribers are left guessing—and unused items quickly become clutter. Why Consumability Matters Making your box consumable isn't just a nice idea. It's a proven retention tool that:  Increases retention.When subscribers use what's in your box, they don't want to lose that experience by canceling. Builds momentum.Engagement with this month's box creates anticipation for the next one. Sparks word-of-mouth.People love to share what they're using – and loving. Reduces “too much stuff” churn.Boxes don't feel like clutter when everything inside is being used and enjoyed. 5 Ways to Make Your Box More Consumable Make sure your subscription box gets used, not stuck on a shelf by:  Including a visual outcome.Show the finished project, styled look, or end result—whether in your insert, your group, or on social media. Offering a simple, actionable insert.A “Start Here” card or checklist keeps subscribers from feeling lost. Tying each item to a moment.Suggest when or how to use it: “Style this for your next brunch date” or “Keep this at your desk for a mid-day boost.” Removing friction.Label what needs labeling and explain anything that might cause confusion. Being the influencer.Don't just curate. Model the experience. Show up using your own products on social media, in your group, or in emails. Before you send out your next box, run it through this quick audit: If I gave this to a stranger, would they know what to do with it? Can my subscriber use at least 70% of this box within 7 days? Have I clearly shown or explained how to use each item? Have I included visual or verbal cues that invite action? Have I modeled the experience myself in photos, videos, or inserts? If you can't answer “yes” to at least four of those questions, you have an opportunity to level up before shipping day. A consumable box is a retention strategy. If subscribers use the items in your box, they'll want more. If they don't, they'll forget it. Audit your next box by asking yourself these five questions and watch how much more your subscribers engage. Because the more they consume your box, the longer they'll stick around.

Send us a text and chime in!Effective Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., Yavapai County will downgrade fire restrictions from Stage 2 to Stage 1 for Fire Ban Zone Two (2). This determination is based on the recent increase in precipitation and moderating fire indices. While conditions have improved, an ongoing fire risk warrants maintaining Stage 1 restrictions. This transition is made in coordination with key partners, including the Coconino National Forest. The new Stage 1 restrictions now apply to both Fire Ban Zones One (1) and Two (2).

Chiropractic care is making a real impact for older adults—especially in underserved communities. In this episode, we dive into a new study from the Canadian Journal on Aging, showing that patients aged 45 to 93 experienced a 35% reduction in pain after receiving chiropractic care. Even those with complex health challenges experienced meaningful improvements, and nearly 9 out of 10 older adults avoided a primary care visit thanks to chiropractic treatment. This research proves that chiropractic isn't just effective—it's a game-changer for both patients and the healthcare system.Episode Notes: Utilization of Chiropractic Services among Older Adults with Spine Pain at a Publicly Funded Canadian Healthcare FacilityLeander Tables- Save $1,000 on the Series 950 Table using the code EBC2025 — their most advanced flexion-distraction tablePatient Pilot by The Smart Chiropractor is the fastest, easiest to generate weekly patient reactivations on autopilot…without spending any money on advertising.

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you have to do it all yourself—especially when the stakes feel high and no one seems to care about the details like you do. But that mindset turns into a bottleneck fast, with every decision, email, and task running through you until there's no space left to actually grow. What Jamie Jay brings to the table isn't just about delegation—it's about shifting the way you think about control, trust, and what leadership really looks like. Sometimes the real breakthrough isn't working harder—it's finally letting go. Jamie Jay, a former 82nd Airborne paratrooper, now helps business owners scale through smarter delegation. As founder of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, he created the “Delegation Intelligence” framework to cut turnover and build stronger teams. Today, he breaks down the common struggles leaders face with delegation and offers practical tools to fix them. His approach blends clear communication, structure, and personal motivation to drive team success. It's all about creating systems that actually work—and stick. Stay tuned! Quotes: “If you can delegate any task that's administratively supporting strategy, sales, and marketing, then you're on the right track.” “A lot of people think they're leaders and visionaries, but quite frankly, they're not—because many people can't handle the challenges of entrepreneurship.” “Even when you don't think it's possible to do something, and even when you mess up in the face of experiencing when everything's on the line. You just gotta take that leap.” Resources: Reclaim 10+ Hours per Week: Stop being your company's Bottleneck Follow Jamie Jay on Facebook Connect with Jamie Jay on LinkedIn

In this myth-busting episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray tackles the three biggest lies about menopause that are sabotaging your health and happiness. If you've been told that weight gain is "inevitable," that you just have to "tough out" your symptoms, or that hormone therapy is "dangerous," this episode will set the record straight once and for all. Dr. Betty reveals the shocking truth: that 5-10% metabolism decrease everyone talks about? It's NOT a life sentence. Those debilitating symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings? They're NOT something you have to live with. And hormone replacement therapy? It's actually one of the most PROTECTIVE things you can do for your long-term health. From the real science behind why you're gaining belly fat (hint: it's not just calories in, calories out) to the landmark 2023 studies showing why women over 40 need up to 50 grams of protein at breakfast, Dr. Betty breaks down exactly what your changing body needs to thrive—not just survive. Plus, she tackles the outdated Women's Health Initiative study that has terrorized women for over 20 years and shares the latest research showing hormone therapy actually REDUCES your risk of heart attack, stroke, dementia, and osteoporosis when started during the menopause transition.   The 3 Myths Debunked:  -Weight gain during perimenopause is inevitable -Menopausal symptoms are "normal" and you just have to live with them -Hormone replacement therapy is dangerous and should be avoided    What You'll Learn:  -Why you need 30-50 grams of protein at your first meal (backed by 2023 research)  -The fiber trick that reduces belly fat in midlife women -How box breathing (used by Navy SEALs) can lower cortisol and improve digestion -Why 50% of women are undertreated when doctors only use symptoms to dose hormones -The real truth about bioidentical hormone therapy and long-term health protection   If you're ready to stop believing the lies and start advocating for yourself, this episode gives you the science and strategies to feel amazing—not just "okay"—during your menopause journey.   Links:  Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Produced by Evolved Podcasting: https://www.evolvedpodcasting.com/   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/   Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit their earlier discussion on defining ‘done' in Agile – how to stay on Track and Avoid Scope Creep. They explain why “done” must mean more than “I finished coding,” and they show how a shared Definition of Done (DoD) keeps teams aligned and projects on schedule. What Does “Done” Really Mean? In Agile, “Done” extends beyond writing code. It often includes: Passing unit and integration tests Receiving QA approval Deploying to staging or production Updating documentation Securing acceptance sign-off Without a clear, documented DoD, each team member may interpret “done” differently. As a result, projects risk rework, delays, and frustration. “If we ask, ‘Is it done?' we should get a clear yes or no—no ‘sort of' or ‘almost.'” – Rob Broadhead Why Ambiguity Leads to Trouble Michael points out a common problem: a developer finishes their code, marks the ticket as done, and passes it to QA—only for testers to find gaps in the requirements. A login screen ticket might say “Allow users to log in with username and password.” But does that mean: Username is case-insensitive? Special characters are allowed? Do error messages display on failure? If these details aren't defined, both the developer and tester may interpret “done” differently, leading to frustration on all sides. The Link Between “Done” and Scope Creep Rob and Michael agree: unclear definitions open the door to scope creep. Without a firm DoD, features get stuck in an endless loop of revisions: Developers feel QA keeps moving the goalposts. QA feels developers aren't meeting the requirements. Clients think the delivered feature isn't what they expected. Over time, this erodes trust and pushes delivery dates further into the future. Lessons from the Field Michael contrasts two scenarios from his career that highlight the power of a strong Definition of Done. Before an acquisition, his team worked with a crystal-clear DoD. Every ticket had precise requirements, clear acceptance criteria, and well-defined testing steps. As a result, tasks finished on time, testing followed a predictable pattern, and rework was rare. The team knew exactly when work met the agreed standards, and stakeholders trusted that “done” truly meant done. After the acquisition, the situation changed dramatically. Tickets became vague and massive in scope, often resembling open-ended “make it work” directives. Multiple teams modified the same code simultaneously, resulting in merge conflicts, inconsistent results, and unpredictable delivery schedules. Without a clear DoD, developers, testers, and stakeholders all had different ideas of what completion looked like, and work frequently circled back for revisions. The difference between the two environments came down to one factor: a clear and enforceable Definition of done. In the first scenario, it acted as a shared contract for quality and completion. In the second, the lack of it created confusion, wasted effort, and missed deadlines. Building a Strong Definition of Done The hosts outline key components every DoD should include: Code complete and reviewed – Ensures quality and shared understanding. Automated tests passing – Reduces regressions. Documentation updated – Prevents future confusion. Deployment verified – Proves it works in the target environment. Acceptance criteria signed off – Confirms alignment with the original requirements. Pro Tip: Keep your tests fresh—don't just update them to pass without meeting the real requirement. Who Owns the DoD? One person doesn't own the DoD—it's a team responsibility. Product owners, Scrum Masters, and developers should collaborate to create and update it, reviewing it regularly to adapt to evolving project needs. Making “Done” Part of the Process Once defined, your DoD should be visible and integrated into your workflow: Add it to user stories during sprint planning. Track it in tools like Jira, Trello, or GitHub. Use workflow stages that match your DoD steps—coding, testing, review, deployment, and sign-off. Michael emphasizes that personal accountability matters just as much as team accountability. Great developers hold themselves to the DoD without needing reminders. Your Challenge: Define “Done” This Week If your team doesn't have a documented Definition of Done—or if it's been more than three months since you reviewed it—set aside time this week to: Write down your current DoD. Identify where ambiguity still exists. Get agreement from the entire team. Update your workflow so that every ticket must meet the DoD before it is closed. This single step can prevent months of wasted effort and ensure your work delivers exactly what's intended. The Bigger Picture A well-defined DoD is more than a checklist—it's your guardrail against wasted effort and shifting goals. It ensures the final product matches what the client truly needs, not just what was coded. Your Definition of Done is your “why” for each task—it keeps your work focused, aligned, and valuable.

In this myth-busting episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray tackles the three biggest lies about menopause that are sabotaging your health and happiness. If you've been told that weight gain is "inevitable," that you just have to "tough out" your symptoms, or that hormone therapy is "dangerous," this episode will set the record straight once and for all. Dr. Betty reveals the shocking truth: that 5-10% metabolism decrease everyone talks about? It's NOT a life sentence. Those debilitating symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings? They're NOT something you have to live with. And hormone replacement therapy? It's actually one of the most PROTECTIVE things you can do for your long-term health. From the real science behind why you're gaining belly fat (hint: it's not just calories in, calories out) to the landmark 2023 studies showing why women over 40 need up to 50 grams of protein at breakfast, Dr. Betty breaks down exactly what your changing body needs to thrive—not just survive. Plus, she tackles the outdated Women's Health Initiative study that has terrorized women for over 20 years and shares the latest research showing hormone therapy actually REDUCES your risk of heart attack, stroke, dementia, and osteoporosis when started during the menopause transition.   The 3 Myths Debunked:  -Weight gain during perimenopause is inevitable -Menopausal symptoms are "normal" and you just have to live with them -Hormone replacement therapy is dangerous and should be avoided   What You'll Learn: -Why you need 30-50 grams of protein at your first meal (backed by 2023 research) -The fiber trick that reduces belly fat in midlife women -How box breathing (used by Navy SEALs) can lower cortisol and improve digestion -Why 50% of women are undertreated when doctors only use symptoms to dose hormones -The real truth about bioidentical hormone therapy and long-term health protection If you're ready to stop believing the lies and start advocating for yourself, this episode gives you the science and strategies to feel amazing—not just "okay"—during your menopause journey.   Links:  Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Produced by Evolved Podcasting: https://www.evolvedpodcasting.com/   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray:  Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/   Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Listen to today's podcast... When it comes to holding hands it's not all about romance.  When you hold the hands of another you are sending the message that the other person is valued, important and noticed. James Coan of the University of Virginia found that when people hold hands, their brains don't work as hard to cope with stress.  To hold someone's hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort. A poll showed that more than half of people couldn't remember the last time they held their grandparents hand and more than a quarter had never done so. However, almost a fifth of respondents, when asked whose hands they would most like to hold, said it would be the hand of a grandparent who has died. Loneliness and depression are rampant in today's society.  Holding someone's hand, especially of someone who is isolated, dealing with an illness or elderly can help them to be more resilient against the impact of stress, promote better health and combat their feelings of isolation. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Hand Holding Day: Reach out and touch the hand of someone you love or someone in need.  Not only do they reap the benefit but so do you. Don't wait until it's too late and end up regretting that you didn't grab at the opportunity. Robert Fulgham (Everything I Learned, I Learned In Kindergarten) said: . . . Share everything. . .When you go out in the world, Watch out for traffic, hold hands, And stick together. . . . If you like today's wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app. Looking for more tips to build your resiliency?

Storm Technology, a Littlefish company, has announced new findings from its survey which found that 68% of IT leaders believe the use of AI by staff reduces stress levels. The research - involving 200 IT decision-makers and leaders across Ireland and the UK (100 respondents per market) - found that 60% think AI will help reduce burnout in their organisation, with almost three quarters (72%) of respondents of the opinion that AI would help employees to achieve a better work life balance. Meanwhile, some 66% think AI would allow employees to reduce manual repetitive tasks and focus on more meaningful work, with 57% revealing employees are optimistic about the potential impact of AI on their day-to-day routine. Showing the influence of AI and the current level of uptake across businesses in Ireland, some 69% of IT leaders in this market would prefer to work for a company that is more advanced in terms of AI adoption. The research found that 70% of respondents in Ireland are in organisations which already permit the use of AI and 68% are using the technology to assist with their own work. In fact, over half (51%) use AI on a daily basis for work purposes and only 2% never use it at all. However, the research found that barriers remain when it comes to AI adoption, the most cited one being a lack of understanding within the wider organisation about potential applications or benefits - selected by 31% of all respondents. Backing this up, almost three quarters (73%) of IT leaders agree that user adoption is a concern when it comes to AI implementation. Furthermore, almost a third (30%) do not believe senior management in their organisation understand the potential of AI. The other top barriers to AI adoption were the management of data, privacy and security (28%), lack of trust in AI (27%), employee resistance (27%), and a lack of AI skills in the organisation (27%). On the topic of AI skills, 40% of IT leaders do not believe their team currently has the technical skills or knowledge to implement or adopt AI. Perhaps unsurprisingly then, 70% think employees expect to receive AI training and enablement. John Tallon, M365 Productivity & Adoption, Azure Application Innovation and Azure Data & AI Practice Director, Storm Technology, said: "AI is creating a predicament for people and businesses. On the one hand, it is seen as a means of reducing workload stresses, supporting creativity, and productivity. However, on the other hand, there is reluctance to adopt AI, stemming from a gap in understanding and the necessary skills required. Businesses will need to bridge this knowledge gap to capitalise on the benefits of AI. Empowering people will drive the biggest impact across the whole business." See more stories here.

This conversation is a must-listen for engineering leaders, CTOs, and operations professionals who are curious about how to deploy AI in complex, physical systems. It covers everything from telemetry data to orchestration engines, the role of human validation, AI-assisted SDLC, and team culture in AI adoption. If you're building or managing AI-first systems that interact with the real world, this episode offers hands-on insight and strategic direction.

The MOSAIC final rule, an interview with the founder and CEO of Flying Eyes Optics, FAA guidance on certification of powered lift vehicles, new galleries opening at the National Air and Space Museum, a Delta pilot lands and gets immediately arrested, deer strikes in Alaska, and the NTSB investigation of a fatal flight in that state. Also, thoughts on recent moves to relocate the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum to Space Center Houston. Guest Dean Siracusa Dean Siracusa is the founder and CEO of Flying Eyes Optics. Dean, a pilot, started the company when he realized that existing sunglasses did not perform well with the increased clamping force of modern aviation headsets. Flying Eyes temples are made of a patented material that allows the temples to conform to your head instead of curving around your ears. They're easy to put on and take off while wearing a headset or helmet. The flexibility of the temple material and shatterproof polycarbonate lenses makes these glasses hard to break. Hillel Glazer, our Aviation Innovation and Entrepreneurship Correspondent, interviewed Dean at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025. Aviation News U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Announces Improvements to Recreational Aviation Safety, Expansion of Light-Sport Sector The Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) final rule was announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. The new rule makes changes to the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) category and Sport Pilot privileges by expanding an alternative to experimental amateur-built aircraft. MOSAIC: Removes the weight limit Encompasses aircraft with higher speeds, more seats, and retractable landing gear.  Allows for new types of propulsion and modern avionics. Allows aerial work with LSA, such as infrastructure and forest inspections, photography/filming, and agricultural surveillance. Allows pilots operating under Sport Pilot privileges to fly a broader range of aircraft. Reduces regulatory requirements by expanding the types of aircraft that qualify as LSA and the types of aircraft pilots can fly under Sport Pilot privileges. Changes for sport pilots and light-sport repairmen take effect 90 days after the final rule publishes. Changes for LSA certification take effect 365 days after the final rule publishes. Video: Secretary Sean P. Duffy Holds Press Conference for Important Announcement on General Aviation https://www.youtube.com/live/iRzzTspdjUM?si=gje-ftiRm94Y2eY4 EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2025 Facts and Figures Attendance for the week: approximately 704,000, the highest on record. More than 10,000 aircraft, 2,543 show planes, nearly 6,000 volunteers, and 962 commercial exhibitors. FAA Releases Powered-Lift Certification Guidance Originally, certification of the new advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft types, such as eVTOLs, had been worked under Part 23 regulations for light aircraft. In 2022, the FAA categorized them as powered-lift under FAR 21.17(b) regulations for special class aircraft. That category had no airworthiness standards and operating rules. The FAA has now released an advisory circular “streamlining the certification process for advanced air mobility aircraft by releasing guidance for how manufacturers can meet the agency's aircraft design and performance safety standards. It establishes a consistent, performance-based framework for manufacturers to follow.  The FAA will carefully evaluate each proposed design to ensure it meets the agency's rigorous standards.” The AC defines powered-lift as heavier-than-air aircraft that use “engine-driven lift devices” or engine thrust for vertical takeoff and landing and low-speed flight. For lift during horizontal flight, they use rigid airfoils such as wings.

In this episode of the Building Better Developers with AI podcast, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a popular past topic: the power of documentation. Instead of repeating the same points, they used ChatGPT to surface fresh talking points and spark a new conversation. This wasn't about using AI to generate documentation, but using it to revisit, reflect, and dive deeper into the value of documenting your development work. The result is a renewed appreciation for one of the most overlooked parts of software development—and how to make it better. The Power of Documentation: Why We Resist, But Still Need It “Good documentation might not get noticed—but bad or missing documentation definitely will.” Most developers avoid documentation. It's viewed as: Time-consuming Low ROI Secondary to writing “clean code” But as Rob and Michael explain, the power of documentation becomes obvious when someone new joins the team, when you return to your own code months later, or when something breaks in production. Without documentation, your project becomes fragile—even dangerous. Using AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can help kick-start outlines, clarify intentions, and even summarize logic to make documenting easier. The Power of Documentation in Planning: Comment-Driven Development “Don't just write code—write your thinking process.” One of the key strategies Rob shares is comment-driven development. Start by outlining your logic and workflow using plain-language comments or pseudocode. This mirrors how many AI tools generate code: from your intent to executable logic. Michael supports this with a reminder that self-documenting code—through clear naming, logical structure, and readable syntax—is also a form of documentation. Helpful tools: JSDoc Doxygen Sphinx Notion AI The Power of Documentation as a Force Multiplier “Documentation doesn't just explain—it accelerates.” Rob and Michael stress that the power of documentation isn't just about code comments—it's about velocity, quality, and reliability. Good documentation: Speeds up onboarding Reduces bugs and confusion Enables DevOps and automated testing Clarifies communication across teams Tools like Swagger and Postman transform API docs into live interfaces—letting you test endpoints, view examples, and generate clients with ease. The Power of Documentation: What It Costs to Skip It “If you don't write it down, it walks out the door with your last developer.” Michael shares stories of undocumented systems that became impossible to maintain when key developers left. Even worse is documentation that exists—but is never updated. Best practices: Keep docs near the code (e.g., Markdown in repo) Automate updates with tools like MkDocs Treat documentation like testing: part of your done definition Pro tip: Add documentation as a checklist item in your development tickets. Don't consider a task complete until it's explained clearly. The Power of Documentation in Practice: Where to Start “Every project deserves a README, a runbook, and a little foresight.” Rob and Michael outline the foundational documentation every project should have: README.md — Overview, build/setup steps, key dependencies Code comments — Especially around complex or non-obvious logic API documentation — Inputs, outputs, examples Architecture diagrams — System design and flow Runbooks — Deployment, recovery, and incident response Testing strategy — How to verify features and stability These documents preserve the power of documentation and ensure long-term maintainability, even as teams and tools evolve. Developer Challenge: Take One Step This Week Your challenge from the episode: Pick one area of your project—just one—and improve its documentation this week. Update the README. Create a runbook. Add clear inline comments to a tricky method. If you're not sure where to start, use AI to outline your intent or help create a checklist. Tag your results with #DevDocChallenge and share how you're strengthening the power of documentation in your work. Final Thoughts: Let AI Inspire, But Let Documentation Lead In this episode, Rob and Michael didn't use AI to do the documentation. They used it to start a better conversation about why it matters. The power of documentation is timeless—but now we have better tools and habits to make it sustainable. If you want to build code that lasts, supports teams, and scales with confidence—make documentation part of your strategy from day one. Callout: Build smarter. Build clearer. Embrace the power of documentation—your future self and your team will thank you.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan welcomes back Jim to discuss the groundbreaking SureSwitch contactor technology from Copeland. This isn't just another incremental improvement - it's a complete reimagining of how contactors should work in modern HVAC systems. Jim brings his expertise and even demonstrates the technology with a special cutaway camera setup, giving listeners and viewers an inside look at this innovative solution. The conversation begins with the evolution of contactors in the HVAC industry, explaining how manufacturers moved backward from heavy-duty two-pole contactors to lighter, more cost-effective one-and-a-half pole designs. While this cost reduction made sense for manufacturers, it often left technicians dealing with more frequent failures and replacements. The SureSwitch represents a leap forward, combining the reliability of traditional heavy-duty contactors with modern electronic intelligence and enhanced protection features. One of the most compelling aspects of the SureSwitch is its multi-voltage coil capability, supporting 24V, 110V, and 240V applications with a single unit. This flexibility dramatically reduces inventory requirements for contractors and service companies, allowing one contactor to handle residential HVAC, refrigeration cases, ice machines, and pool heaters. The universal application makes it particularly valuable for smaller businesses that need to stock fewer SKUs while maintaining the ability to handle diverse applications. The technical innovation behind the SureSwitch's longevity is fascinating. Using an optical sensor (described as a "little eye" in the sealed chamber), the contactor monitors for electrical arcing during contact opening and closing. The built-in microprocessor analyzes the 60Hz AC sine wave and times the contact operation to occur at the zero-crossing point, eliminating destructive arcing. This "no-arc zone" operation, combined with latching contacts that prevent chatter during brownout conditions, results in contacts that remain clean and functional even after a million cycles - five times longer than traditional contactors. Key Topics Covered ·        Contactor Evolution and Industry Innovation o   Historical perspective on contactor design changes from heavy-duty to cost-optimized o   Why the HVAC industry needed to innovate forward rather than continue cost-cutting ·        Multi-Voltage Flexibility o   Single contactor handles 24V, 110V, and 240V coil applications o   Reduces inventory requirements and simplifies contractor operations o   Applications include residential HVAC, refrigeration, ice machines, and pool heaters ·        Arc-Free Contact Technology o   Optical sensor monitoring system for detecting electrical arcing o   Microprocessor-controlled timing to operate at AC sine wave zero-crossing o   Five times longer contact life compared to traditional contactors ·        Chatter Elimination and Latching Mechanism o   Internal power supply eliminates dependency on weak control voltage o   Magnetic latching system prevents contact bouncing during brownout conditions o   Protection against undersized control wiring and long wire runs ·        Sealed Contact Chamber Design o   100% sealed contact chamber prevents insect and debris contamination o   Eliminates common failure modes from ants, earwigs, and lizards o   Reduces need for pest control interventions ·        Built-in Compressor Protection Features o   Brownout protection with automatic voltage monitoring (184V threshold) o   Random start delay (0-90 seconds) for multiple unit installations o   Short cycle timer protection working independently of thermostat timers ·        Installation and Compatibility Considerations o   Compatible mounting holes with standard contactors o   Proper crankcase heater wiring configurations o   Training considerations for technicians adapting to new terminal layout ·        Warranty and Business Applications o   10-year warranty vs. standard 1-year contactor warranties o   Good-better-best selling scenarios for contractor businesses o   Applications in high-end residential and commercial installations   Learn more at the SureSwitch at http://www.hvacrschool.com/SureSwitch.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

After a 8 days offline, I was reminded that the deepest healing doesn't come from doing more—but from being more present. In this episode, I share why immersing yourself in nature for just 3 to 4 days can reset your nervous system, clear your mind, and bring you back to yourself. This isn't about escape—it's about return. To the quiet. To stillness. To the real you. I'll walk you through how to take a restorative break in nature, what to expect emotionally and physically, and why this kind of reset is essential in today's overstimulated world. Let this be your reminder: nature always welcomes you back—with mercy, with grace, and without judgment. Benefits of Immersing in Nature for 3–4 Days 1. Nervous System Reset – Reduces cortisol (stress hormone) – Activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) system – Lowers heart rate and blood pressure 2. Mental Clarity & Focus – Boosts cognitive function and memory – Reduces mental fatigue and brain fog – Encourages clearer, calmer decision-making 3. Emotional Detox & Healing – Allows space to process emotions without distraction – Supports mood stability and lowers anxiety – May bring suppressed feelings to the surface (a healthy release) 4. Enhanced Creativity – Being in natural environments stimulates creative thinking – Encourages new ideas, inspiration, and problem-solving – Helps reconnect to your inner artist or writer 5.
