Podcasts about Stagnation

I am not sure why I am so much more likely to talk about the mind blowing mystical experiences I have had, when I am a guest on other people's podcasts, rather than here on my own podcast! I always find it extremely activating to hear about people's spiritual experiences and encounters, and yet I don't often think to talk about my own. But I'm thinking about it now, so that is what I will be talking about when I go live today! In this livestream, I (Kara Goodwin, host of Soul Elevation) share a profound mystical experience from a few years ago, where I perceived a higher aspect of myself I refer to as my "Creator Being" and witnessed how the human or ego self communicates with that part of us that creates our reality/lived experience. The communication did not happen through words, as I might have expected. But, it was incredibly natural and "easy," and it made absolute sense in that higher state of consciousness. This experience challenged my expectations about what the Higher Self might look like (if, indeed, this is what we would consider the "Higher Self" - it may have been beyond the Higher Self) and opened a deeper understanding of manifestation, spiritual awakening, judgment, shame, and karma. In this livestream, I'll talk about: How consciousness shapes the reality we experience What this mystical experience revealed about the Higher Self/"Creator Self" How the ego or human self communicates beyond language with the part of us that is creating our reality Reframing judgment and shame  A new way to understand karma How I saw that we are always consciously participate in creating our reality This is an open exploration of higher consciousness, mystical experience, manifestation, and spiritual awakening.  Resources mentioned in this episode:  Mindful Pregnancy Collection: https://www.karagoodwin.com/pregnancy-collection  Book, Your Authentic Awakening: https://amzn.to/45bCcAK  Subscribe to Soul Elevation with Kara Goodwin for conversations about spiritual awakening, higher consciousness, energy healing, cosmic wisdom, past lives, shamanic wisdom, and the mysteries of human transformation. https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/follow 

You didn't get innovative because you were born with ADHD. You got there because you survived the friction. The world wants friction-free — but ADHD Entrepreneurs are forged through resistance, not by default.   In This Episode: Friction: how real growth happens for ADHD Entrepreneurs Why life experience — not just brain wiring — shapes creativity When to quit, when to persist, and why resilience is earned   What You'll Take Away: ADHD does not guarantee problem-solving or creativity — life makes you build it Too much friction leads to burnout. Too little? Stagnation. Your workarounds and adaptability are proof of lived experience, not wiring Failure is not a flaw. Mistakes are the step before mastery. Quitting what drains you is a strategic decision, not a weakness   Guest: Dr. J. Russell Ramsay is a psychologist specializing in the assessment and psychosocial treatment of adult ADHD. He recently launched a solo virtual telepsychology practice, which can be found at www.cbt4adhd.com. Dr. Ramsay is recognized for his contributions to the field of adult ADHD and is a repeat guest on The Impulsive Thinker™ podcast.   www.cbt4adhd.com   Books by Dr. Russell Ramsay: The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills to Manage Stress, Find Focus, and Reclaim Your Life The Adult ADHD Tool Kit   ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode of The Impulsive Thinker® dives straight into the ADHD Entrepreneur's real source of growth: friction and failure. The Impulsive Thinker® sits down with Dr. J. Russell Ramsay to expose why lived experience — not just ADHD brain wiring — drives creativity and resilience.   Key themes include how friction shapes adaptability, why most ADHD strengths are forged through struggle, and what happens when Entrepreneurs face too much or too little resistance. The episode tears down the myth that an ADHD brain comes with guaranteed success or innovation. It's about life scars, hard-won workarounds, and facing those uncomfortable moments that most people run from. The conversation breaks down how comparison, external benchmarks, and the pressure for friction-free achievement hold ADHD Entrepreneurs back. Real growth comes from earned scars — not from labels or hype.   If you're tired of one-size-fits-all advice and want to see how real ADHD operating systems build business muscle, this one's for you. Listen in and redefine what success looks like on your own terms.   Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.  

Oh wow, there is SO MUCH shifting happening right now — health, sense of self, closest relationships. July was predicted to be intense, and I know it is following through everywhere I look.  Humanity is experiencing a profound collective spiritual awakening, and it's showing up in completely different ways for each of us. What looks on the outside as misfortune or rather unexpected change is showing us something much bigger about what is happening in the collective. Some are navigating health crises or profound loss. Others are going through a complete identity transformation and questioning who they are at the core. Still others are watching relationships end or unexpectedly begin. At first glance, these look like separate struggles. But what if they're all the same thing? In this Live, I'm exploring: - The ascension symptoms showing up as health, identity & relationship shifts - Why we're ALL inside this collective spiritual transformation right now - How I'm personally experiencing it and the opportunities it is setting off - The profound levels of creative inspiration that emerge when you lean into transition  If life has been shaking everything loose lately, there's a reason, and it's huge.

Können wir uns mit einem einfachen Satz aus einem Moment der Starre und Hilflosigkeit befreien? Meine liebe Freundin und Co-Trainerin Catrin hat mir vor über 10 Jahren einen solchen Leitsatz geschenkt – und ich möchte ihn heute an Dich weitergeben. Wir wünschen uns die schönsten Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse für uns selbst und die Menschen, mit denen wir arbeiten. Aha-Momente, Durchbrüche und diese Magie, wenn etwas wirklich in Bewegung kommt und die Transformation beginnt. Aber all das ist ein Prozess und dazwischen gibt es auch immer wieder Momente, in denen wir irgendwie feststecken. Menschen driften in ihren Bedürfnissen auseinander, Stimmungen überlagern sich und alles fühlt sich unsicher, schwer und träge an. Auch wenn wir im Coaching über Tools und Methoden verfügen, mit der wir solche Schwankungen ausbalancieren können, kann es doch Situationen geben, die sich festgefahren anfühlen und nicht so leicht lösen lassen. Dieser Leitsatz kann alles verändern Wir waren damals in einem schwierigen Gruppencoaching und wussten als Trainerinnen nicht so recht weiter. Und dann kam dieser eine Satz von meiner Co-Trainerin, der alles veränderte: „Wir machen jetzt einfach mal weiter." So simpel und doch so klar. Denn manchmal kann es viel hilfreicher sein, einfach das anzunehmen, was gerade ist und dem roten Faden zu folgen, der weiter durch den Prozess führt. Weil wir dann aufhören, die Situation zu zerdenken und unter Druck schnelle Lösungen zu suchen, sondern zu uns zurückkehren. In diesen Moment, in unser präsentes Sein und bewusstes Handeln. Es geht nicht darum, strikt nach Schema F vorzugehen oder aufsteigende Emotionen zu ignorieren. Sondern uns nicht darin zu verlieren und auf sanfte Weise die Führung zu übernehmen. Wir dürfen dem Prozess vertrauen und weitergehen. Ohne jedes Wort zu analysieren, ohne alle Antworten zu kennen oder alles zu kontrollieren. Ein einfacher Leitsatz kann uns dabei helfen, uns aus Zweifeln, Gedankenschleifen und Stagnation zu lösen und etwas in Bewegung zu bringen. Einfach, indem wir weitermachen und den nächsten kleinen Schritt gehen. Auch wenn wir noch nicht wissen, wohin er führt. Alles Liebe, Deine Nina In dieser Episode erfährst Du: Wie Du Bewegung in festgefahrene Situationen bringst Welcher Leitsatz mir Halt und Orientierung gibt Warum wir nicht für alles eine Lösung parat haben müssen Wie Du in schwierigen Momenten präsent und verbunden bleibst Shownotes: Gefühlsfülle Kartenset & Kurs Meine Ressourcen und Räume für Dich Newsletter-Anmeldung Mehr über mich Instagram

Unsere freien Stellen: https://join.com/companies/broes-media In dieser Folge des Onlineshop Geflüster Podcasts geht es um eine Frage, die kaum jemand ausspricht, die sich aber viele Shopbetreiber insgeheim stellen: Bin ich zu blöd, meinen eigenen Onlineshop zu führen? Ich kenne dieses Gefühl selbst. Wenn der eigene Shop stagniert, wenn man Dinge probiert, von denen man überzeugt war, und das Ergebnis bleibt aus, dann liegt der Gedanke nah, dass etwas mit einem selbst nicht stimmt. Gerade weil so viel von einem selbst in dem Shop steckt. Aber ein Umsatzplateau hat fast immer mechanische Ursachen, die nichts mit dir als Person zu tun haben. Ich nehme dafür das Bild vom Auto: Wenn ich einen kaputten Motor reparieren müsste, würde ich es nicht hinbekommen, weil ich die Mechanik nicht kenne. Das macht mich nicht dumm. Genauso ist Stagnation kein Charaktertest, sondern ein fehlendes Bauteil. In neun von zehn Fällen hakt es im System, am Shop, am Angebot, an den Kennzahlen, den Creatives oder am Tracking, und nicht an dir. Niemand ist zu blöd für seinen eigenen Shop. Meistens stimmt nur an ein paar Stellen die Mechanik noch nicht. Viel Spaß beim Anhören!

Are you tired of repeating the same emotional reactions, relationship conflicts, leadership struggles, or painful cycles and wondering why nothing seems to change? In this session, Tim Holloway teaches how to begin noticing the patterns in your life so you can stop living on autopilot and start growing with wisdom, maturity, and spiritual clarity. This message is for men, leaders, believers, husbands, fathers, business owners, and anyone pursuing personal growth, emotional maturity, spiritual formation, and biblical transformation. You'll learn why your reactions, avoidance, anger, withdrawal, fear, overworking, procrastination, and relationship tension are not random. They are patterns revealing something deeper beneath the surface. God uses patterns everywhere: seasons, seedtime and harvest, day and night, pruning, leadership growth, biblical stories, emotions, and even pain. When you learn to notice these patterns without blame, excuses, or denial, you begin to see where you are located, what God is forming in you, what needs to be pruned, and what cycle must finally be broken. What you'll learn: how repeated emotional patterns reveal hidden beliefs; why biblical stories like Adam and Eve, Cain, David, Elijah, and Jonah show recurring human cycles; how relationships drift from connection to disconnection through neglect, assumptions, and unresolved hurt; how leadership, business, money, burnout, and spiritual maturity all follow patterns that can either produce growth or keep you stuck. 00:00 Intro: What Are You Noticing?02:21 The Key to Wisdom Is Recognizing Patterns03:33 Life Stages, Growth, and Development05:22 Independence, Marriage, Fatherhood, and Maturity10:11 Successful People Notice Patterns11:24 Seasons, Timing, and Ecclesiastes15:42 Seedtime, Harvest, and Spiritual Growth18:16 Bringing Ideas and Growth to Life20:04 Water, Flow, Stagnation, and Integration21:27 Location Identification and Leadership Growth22:12 Transformation Patterns and the Butterfly23:47 Forest Growth, Decay, Renewal, and Pruning26:05 Ebb and Flow: When to Advance or Retreat28:35 Day, Night, Work, Rest, and Sabbath29:31 The Pruning Pattern Before Greater Fruit31:00 Biblical Patterns and the Sin Cycle34:34 Cain, Comparison, Resentment, and Sabotage35:46 David, Bathsheba, Temptation, and Cover-Up37:18 Why Detrimental Patterns Keep Repeating39:30 The Fork in the Road Before the Cycle Continues43:18 Emotional Patterns and Faulty Interpretation48:53 Relationship Patterns and Repeated Conflict51:03 Behavior Patterns, Escapes, and Reinforcement52:45 Leadership, Business, Bottlenecks, and Growth53:59 Kingdom Patterns and God's Process56:25 Jesus Christ as the Ultimate Pattern #SpiritualGrowth#EmotionalMaturity#BiblicalWisdom#LeadershipDevelopment#PersonalGrowth Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Money Moves, we unpack the historic Q2 2026 stock market rally, which saw the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 hit massive milestones fueled by AI and semiconductor growth. We discuss why significant retail capital remains on the sidelines earning safe yields, and whether a market pullback is imminent before year's end.We also dive into the stagnant real estate market, analyzing the largest gap between home sellers and buyers on record. Finally, we critique modern anti-debt philosophies and explain why strategic leverage and homeownership remain essential tools for long-term wealth building.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDQ2 2026 historic stock market and index performanceThe impact of geopolitical conflict on oil prices and inflation dataFederal Reserve interest rate projections and data digestionAI and semiconductor stock rallies and future market outlooksThe launch of the OUSD stablecoin by major financial institutionsMichael Saylor's strategy shift and the future of Bitcoin adoptionRecord market gaps between real estate buyers and sellersThe fallacy of zero-debt financial advice in wealth buildingKEY TAKEAWAYSThe Q2 2026 stock market rally represents the best quarterly performance in years, yet massive retail capital remains sidelined in high-yield cash accounts.Current inflation data is heavily skewed by short-term geopolitical shocks to oil prices, often leading to inaccurate forward-looking market sentiment.The AI and semiconductor race is still in its infancy, and the biggest long-term winners may not even be the current market leaders.Major institutional adoption of stablecoins, like the OUSD launch on Solana, signals a massive shift toward blockchain efficiency in traditional finance.Avoiding all debt is a flawed wealth-building strategy; learning the difference between good leverage and bad debt is critical for financial growth.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONWealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

Union und SPD haben sich im Kanzleramt auf den Koalitionsausschuss am Mittwoch vorbereitet – ein zweites ‚Villa Borsig‘ soll sich nicht wiederholen. Strittig bleiben die große Steuerreform, ein höherer Spitzensteuersatz und ein möglicher Zuschlag für hohe Einkommen, dessen Höhe und Schwelle in beiden Lagern offen sind. Im Arbeitsrecht bietet SPD-Chef Lars Klingbeil an, den Kündigungsschutz für Spitzenverdiener ab 100.000 Euro Jahresgehalt zu lockern – die Gewerkschaften sind dagegen, die Union dafür. [01:28]Dominik von Achten, Vorstandsvorsitzender von Heidelberg Materials, sieht den deutschen Wohnungsbau in der Rezession: „Das ist weniger Stagnation, das ist Rezession.“ Der Bauturbo von Bauministerin Verena Hubertz sei in der Fläche noch nicht angekommen. Beim Infrastruktur-Zukunftsgesetz warnt er davor, die Naturschutzabwägung jetzt erneut ins Verfahren zu schieben. „Da haben die Leute bei uns im Werk die Fäuste in der Tasche und sagen, das gibt es doch wohl nicht, dass das jetzt die Argumente sind, die uns wirklich daran hindern, dieses wichtige Gesetz […] nochmal in die Schleife schicken.“ [07:55]Die Waffenruhe zwischen dem Iran und den USA ist brüchig. Die USA fliegen neue Angriffe, der Iran droht erneut mit dem Verhandlungsabbruch. Donald Trump droht dem Iran auf Truth Social wieder mit vollständiger Vernichtung.

Nick Saban once watched a man throw back every big fish he caught, keeping only the small ones. The reason stopped me cold: the guy only had a nine inch frying pan at home. In this episode, I use that story to challenge you to look honestly at the size of your own mental foundation, because your capacity to think, to believe, and to handle opportunity determines everything you keep and everything you release. The lesson here is not just about catching bigger fish. It is about becoming someone who can actually do something with them when they show up. Key Takeaways Your mental capacity, not your circumstances, determines which opportunities you keep and which you throw back. Limiting beliefs are often embedded early and run quietly in the background. Recognizing them is the first step to outgrowing them. The people closest to you can often see your blind spots better than you can. Asking them is not weakness. It is strategy. Stagnation is not always your fault, but staying stagnant is your responsibility to address. The clearest sign you need a bigger foundation is when what you are capable of only feeds you and nobody else around you. Action Steps Identify one area where you have been consistently rejecting or avoiding big opportunities and write down the belief that is driving that pattern. Reach out to one trusted person this week and specifically ask them: where do you see me thinking too small? Reframe your growth target by asking whether your current capacity can produce results that benefit not just you but the people depending on you. Notable Quote There are probably limitations you have simply because it has never crossed your mind that it could be better.

Jonny and Heather respond to data that suggests worldwide LGBTQ+ rights advanced in the 2010s but are stagnating in the 2020s. To put a little more hopeful spin on this news, they note how the anti-LGBTQ+ movements seem to be stagnating more recently, too. They start with the failures of the Trump Administration that have been piling up. In the back half of the show they turn to some international stories that seem to give ample evidence of advances rather than stagnation. They end with a brief discussion of animation and how independent creators seem to be demonstrating advances more so than current mainstream media. In all, they see power and need in independent content creators to push forward with advancing all human rights.  

Comfort can feel safe. But it can also become the ceiling that keeps you stuck. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the trap of the middle class mindset and why survival is not a strong enough business plan. Let's be real… If your only goal is to cover your bills… Take one decent vacation… And stay comfortable… You are not building an empire. You are recreating a paycheck. In this episode, you'll learn: Why survival is not a real business strategy How comfort can quietly destroy growth Why entrepreneurs must normalize bigger numbers and bigger goals How true wealth creates leverage, security, and impact The truth is simple: Stagnation is not safety. Inflation does not care about your comfort zone. Market shifts do not care that your bills are paid. Competitors do not stop moving because you feel stable. If your business stops growing, your security starts shrinking. High-level operators do not build just to survive. They build to dominate. They raise the standard. They think in bigger numbers. They push past the mental ceiling that once felt normal. Because true wealth is not just about luxury. It is about leverage. It is about options. It is about protecting your family, expanding your impact, and creating a future that cannot be taken from you. Shatter the ceiling. Think bigger. Execute harder. And keep leveling up.

Poverty and Economic Stagnation in Developing Nations. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. Veronique de Rugy examines why countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo remain in extreme poverty. She identifies institutional failures, such as a lack of property rights and predatory governments, as the primary causes of stagnation. Growth, she argues, is the only sufficient element to lift people out of poverty. 2

In This Episode: In this deeply personal installment of the Achieve Results NOW! Podcast hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt lift the curtain on a cornerstone principle of high performance: how true achievers cultivate unshakeable drive. Inspired by a classic "Weekly Wisdom" lesson from the dojo that hasn't been shared in fifteen years, this episode tackles a raw truth that many leaders face but rarely admit—even seasoned black belts don't wake up feeling driven every day. Success isn't a passive state of drifting; it is an active system of intent, discipline, and intentional conditioning. Drawing from their lifelong partnership in business and martial arts, Mark and Theron lay out a powerful, practical framework to help you stop waiting for motivation, audit your habits, and build an unshakeable roadmap for constant improvement. Key Frameworks & Action Steps Action Step 1: Define What Excellence Looks Like for You When momentum stalls, it is rarely a lack of baseline capability—it is a lack of a clear, challenging target. Achievers never allow themselves to drift into progress by accident; they design it. Excellence Over Perfection: Reject perfectionism completely, as it is an unattainable metric that breeds procrastination. Instead, define what a standard of excellence looks like for your specific baseline today. Set Goals That Demand Growth: True drive is generated by the thrill of the chase. Set specific targets that are intentionally scary enough to stretch your mental and physical boundaries. Establish External Leverage: Do not keep your targets trapped in your head. Write them down clearly and make concrete, public promises to people you respect. Forcing social pressure onto your goals converts a passive "should" into an unshakeable, daily "must." Uncover the "Why": Identify what your achievement actually represents. Look past surface-level awards or titles and anchor your motivation to the core character development you are striving to build. Action Step 2: Intentionally Train the Three Pillars Drive is a muscle that must be methodically conditioned through structured daily action. The hosts break down three mission-critical pillars to anchor your performance: Sharpen Your Skills (The Top Three Rule): Be fiercely deliberate about your professional and personal development. Identify the top three specific skills you need to improve to advance. Avoid a list of ten items, which triggers overwhelm, or a single item, which invites delay. Three is the magic high-performance number. Commit to refining those top three choices through repetition and targeted effort every single day. Strengthen Your Will (The Mindset Muscle): Discipline is a muscle trained on your absolute worst days. It is effortless to execute your habits when you wake up feeling highly motivated, but true high performers exercise their will on the days they are sore, tired, or uninspired. Stand guard at the door of your mind and violently shield your will from external negativity or limiting beliefs. Elevate Your Conditioning (The Energy Foundation): Biological performance dictates mental agility. When your body is fatigued and your physical conditioning drops, your emotional and mental focus immediately fracture—causing you to snap at your team or make reactive choices. The State Check: Train your mental response mechanism to treat disruptions as data rather than crises. Theron shares a raw example of his son's car breaking down at 8:00 PM on a Sunday thruway, requiring a midnight tow. By maintaining high mental conditioning, they reframed the frustration into a blessing—ensuring the vehicle was fully repaired and safe before a major summer move to North Carolina. Action Step 3: Refuse to Accept Your Current Level as Your Final Level Fulfillment belongs exclusively to those who choose to live in a state of continuous, never-ending growth. Stagnation is the silent killer of both businesses and relationships. Reject Mediocrity as a Destination: Refuse to tolerate complacency in any area of your life. Turn a critical eye to your health, your workplace, and your family daily. Continually ask yourself: "What is one single thing I can make slightly more fluent or improve today?" Act on that answer immediately. Embrace the Grind with Tenacity and Gratitude: Reframe the daily process from an obligation into a journey. Borrowing a timeless truth from actor Henry Winkler (The Fonz), anchor your timeline with a dual focus on Tenacity to keep pushing through bumpy, difficult steps, paired with deep Gratitude to actively celebrate incremental process milestones along the way. "Achievers don't drift toward success. It takes work, it takes systems, and it requires you to actively refuse to let your current baseline be your final destination. Pick one step and execute now."

For centuries, the Arab and Muslim worlds led humanity in scientific discovery, establishing a culture where faith served as an inspiration rather than an obstacle to empirical research. The conversation with astrophysicist Dr. Nidhal Guessoum explores that profound intellectual legacy, from the systematization of algebra and breakthroughs in optics to the creation of the world's first dedicated astronomical observatories. Dr. Guessoum bridges the gap between this historical Golden Age and the challenges facing modern science education in the region. He addresses the perceived friction between contemporary scientific theories, such as evolution and cosmology, and religious tradition, advocating for a complementary framework that distinguishes the how of the physical world from the why of human meaning. By befriending modern science and returning it to a central place in culture, the discussion outlines a path for a qualitative new renaissance in Arab and Muslim scientific production. 0:00 Introduction 1:39 Diagnosing Science Education in the Arab World 4:07 Quantitative Growth vs Qualitative Challenges 8:41 The Importance of the Scientific Process 10:20 Reconciling Islam and Science 11:59 Understanding the Nature of Science and Religion 13:17 Inspiration from Historical Figures 15:22 Navigating Friction in Evolution and Cosmology 20:51 The Harmonization of Reason and Revelation 22:24 Distinguishing the How from the Why 23:58 The Role of the Human Subject in Science and Faith 25:58 Secular Ethics and the Islamic Intellectual Tradition 29:21 The Peak and Decline of Arab Muslim Scientific Production 30:33 Major Contributions: Algebra, Optics, and Medicine 34:55 History of Astronomical Observatories 38:38 Stagnation vs the European Scientific Revolution 45:51 Prospect of a New Arab Scientific Renaissance 49:30 Measuring Scientific Productivity 52:15 Befriending Modern Science for the Youth 57:31 Recommendations for Life-Long Learning   Nidhal Guessoum is an Algerian astrophysicist and Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the American University of Sharjah, UAE.

Anthony Phillips, founding Genesis guitarist, joins Jason Barnard to talk about the formation of Genesis, his departure, and his latest album, Gemini – Pieces For Piano. He traces the Genesis story back to Charterhouse and the summer of 1967, when he first heard a 12-string guitar. Peter Gabriel’s theatrical stage persona came about through necessity, filling dead time while Phillips and Mike Rutherford fought with temperamental instruments. The jump from From Genesis To Revelation to Trespass has always looked abrupt; Phillips explains it simply: he and Rutherford spent the eight months between recording and release writing constantly, with ‘Dusk,’ ‘White Mountain’ and ‘Stagnation’ sketched out before the debut had even flopped. Then there’s the stage fright. Not ordinary nerves but sudden mid-performance blanks that came on after glandular fever. He was eighteen and never told anyone. There’s also a brief exchange with Nick Drake, playing the same indifferent university crowds. When Drake learned Phillips had written ‘Let Us Now Make Love,’ he said one word back: “Dangerous.” The conversation also covers his classical studies, the troubled release of The Geese and the Ghost, and writing the title track of Gemini.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Canada's deeper economic malaise beyond the recession debate. They explore decades of declining quarterly GDP growth since the 1960s, arguing that secular stagnation—not short-term fluctuations—is the real crisis. They also cover rising debt burdens, unproductive capital allocation, and policy failures that have compounded economic decline. Finally, they critique the Carney government's approach and question whether politicians will relinquish power to enable market-driven productivity growth.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

This sermon challenges believers to examine whether they are living with a complacent faith or a compelling faith. Using the metaphor of stagnant ponds versus flowing rivers, the message calls Christians to be conduits of the Holy Spirit rather than spiritually stagnant. The sermon emphasizes that compelling faith requires being compelled by the Spirit, even when it leads to uncertainty and hardship. Drawing from Acts 19-20 and Paul's ministry in Ephesus, the message illustrates how authentic Christianity disrupts darkness and idolatry in culture. The central call is for believers to embrace "disruptive discipleship" - a lifelong surrender to Jesus that interrupts ordinary living, dismantles comfort and compromise, and moves Christians from consumption to mission. The sermon concludes with the challenge that every believer must choose: remain complacent and complicit, or become compelling through Spirit-led obedience.Read John 7:37-39; Ezekiel 47:1-12Jesus promises that believers will have rivers of living water flowing from within them. Notice the contrast between stagnant ponds and rushing rivers. A pond collects but doesn't release—it becomes stagnant, breeding decay. A river constantly receives and gives, bringing life wherever it flows.The Holy Spirit desires to flow through you like a river, bringing refreshment to dry places. But this requires both intake and outflow. Are you receiving from God daily through prayer and Scripture? Are you releasing His love through service and witness? Stagnation happens when we consume without contributing, when we gather but never give. Ask yourself today: Am I a stagnant pond or a rushing river? The Spirit wants to move through you, but He needs your surrender. Where has spiritual stagnation crept into your life? What would it look like to allow God's Spirit to flow freely through you today?Discussion Questions:-Paul says he is 'compelled by the Spirit' without knowing what will happen to him, only that hardships await. What would it look like for you to follow the Holy Spirit's leading even when the outcome is uncertain or difficult?-The sermon contrasts a stagnant pond with a rushing river as metaphors for spiritual life. Which image better represents your current spiritual state, and what specific steps could move you toward becoming 'living water'?-The sermon lists several types of Christians including the consumer Christian, the distracted Christian, and the knowledge-heavy but action-light Christian. Which of these categories do you most identify with, and what would it take to move beyond it?-Mike mentions that many churches become stagnant by focusing only on what's wrong with the world rather than where God is moving. How can we maintain awareness of darkness while keeping our primary focus on where the Spirit is at work?

And now, your hosts Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy podcast. I’m your host for today, Allen Hall, along with Matthew Stead, Rosemary Barnes, and Yolanda Padron. If you’re going to be in Houston for Clean Power 2026, mark Wednesday, June 3rd on your calendar. The Australian American Chamber of Commerce, Texas is hosting an invitation-only panel and networking reception with cocktails from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Houston Club, and I’ll be moderating. We’re bringing together Australian and US wind energy experts to compare notes on how two markets handle O&M, lightning risks, blade inspections, remote monitoring, and where operational gaps [00:01:00] are. The evening also marks the North American commercial launch of EOLOGIX-PING’s satellite-based lightning monitoring system, developed with Adelaide-based satellite IoT company, Myriota. So in joining me on the panel, our own Matt Stead, co-founder of EOLOGIX-PING, and Mark Norman, VP of Edge Solutions at Myriota, and Weather Guard’s Yolanda Padron. EOLOGIX-PING and Myriota have systems already deployed in Japan and Australia, and a little bit in the US here at Weather Guard, and they’re stepping into the North American market at American Clean Power with this advanced lightning monitoring product. So you’ll want to be there and see this new product introduced. It is an invitation-only event, so if you’re at Clean Power and want to be in the room, reach out to us on LinkedIn so we can get you on the list. Orsted finished selling off its European offshore wind business to Copenhagen [00:02:00]Infrastructure Partners, better known as CIP or as it’s a-affectionately called CIP. Now, Bloomberg reports the Danish company is exploring a sale of its US portfolio also, which includes a whole bunch of wind. It’s a decent amount of solar and battery storage in a deal that could bring more than about a billion dollars. Uh, the business generated more than one-fifth of Orsted’s total operating income just last year. Uh, meanwhile, uh, more than 50 US organizers are urging RWE CEO, Markus Kroeker, not to hand back over $1 billion in US offshore wind leases as part of a reported deal with the Trump administration. Uh, so the, the pattern is clear, everybody. European developers are being pushed towards the exit in the American market. The Ørsted situation’s been going on several months now. I, I think it’s pretty much common [00:03:00] knowledge, I would assume at this point. W- we’ve known for months, and I th- think a lot of people we’ve talked to have been saying Ørsted is prepping for a sale. The question is who? And the, the RWE getting rid of their offshore leases in the United States would be a little bit of a odd move. However, a billion dollars back in your bank account is probably a smart move today. So are the, the Germans and the Danish leaving America?  Yolanda Padron: Ørsted’s still keeping their offshore in the US, right?  Allen Hall: Yeah, I don’t know if they’ll be able to sell it off. They own it 100% at this point, right? All the partners have pulled out But I wonder if that’s on the auction block also. That it could be  Matthew Stead: So why? Why are they, why are they selling? I mean, there has to be a reason. I mean, do they have better use for the money elsewhere, or do they just have lost faith in the, the USA?  Allen Hall: It could be a combination of both, right? Both can be true at the same time. I do think the cash flow is an issue [00:04:00] for renewable energy companies at the minute, so if they can get some money back into the coffers and to get ready for the next big run of development, they probably should do it now. But things, especially it does seem a little bit on the slow side on the re- renewable development, except in the UK where it’s going crazy.  Do you think then that they’re looking for American people to sell it to?  Allen Hall: Or Canadian. If Ørsted sells their onshore business, uh, to CIP, it still remains in Danish hands, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a, uh, removal of the Danes from America, not, not quite. Matthew Stead: Yeah. I’m just a bit confused why, you know, why, you know, why would it, um, attract a good price at the moment? So I would’ve thought, you know, if it was me, I would’ve take the long-term view and just hang onto it.  Allen Hall: Well, the, the tax credit’s already built into those businesses, right? I, I at least that’s what I would assume, that the, the tax credits are still [00:05:00] available on a number of the Ørsted sites. They’re not that old. A lot of the wind sites are not that old, so you could gain that tax advantage. It may make sense. It may be a, a Berkshire Hathaway or somebody like that may, may jump into the mix.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, and maybe because there’s not so much opportunity for new developments at the moment, that might be maybe it’s appealing for that reason, that there’s, yeah, not, not so many wind opportunities around, and companies want wind in their portfolios, so. Allen Hall: Or data centers like we just saw with NextEra and Dominion. The, the drive for, for data centers, uh, is pushing the, the power demand, and if you could buy wind, solar, and battery all together, most of it kind of co-located, you could put some data centers in Texas ’cause a vast majority of that Ørsted fleet is in a place where you could plant a data center right next to it. Maybe that’s, maybe that’s the thought. Uh, if they saw NextEra and Dominion join hands, maybe there’s another partnership in the mix. That would be really interesting. Maybe it’s Elon. Maybe [00:06:00] SpaceX or, uh, Tesla could just buy Ørsted’s onshore wind business. That would be a- amazing.  Matthew Stead: I thought they were going into space. Why would they be bothering with the Earth?  Allen Hall: You gotta power the rockets before you launch them, right? You get so-  Matthew Stead: gotta get some power from somewhere. Allen Hall: Delamination and bondline failures in blades are difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. CIC-NDT are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their nondestructive test technology penetrates deep into blade materials to find voids and cracks traditional inspections completely miss. CIC-NDT maps every critical defect, delivers actionable reports, and provides support to get your blades back in service. So visit cicndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions[00:07:00] China has commissioned what is being called the world’s largest offshore wind turbine. It’s a 20-megawatt machine built by MingYang Smart Energy, installed off the coast of China in the South China Sea. The structure stands about 240 meters tall with blades around 128 meters long. That’s a pretty good-sized blade. And it’s rated to survive gusts up to 80 meters per second. But the real story is what researchers are watching after the turbine starts up. Early reports say that the rotor that is massively big will create measurable changes in local air currents and temperature distribution. At this scale, offshore wind creating a physical footprint that scientists want to measure and We have seen this effect here at Weather Guard Lightning Tech, watching storms go through the big wind farms [00:08:00] in the United States. So you can actually see storm behaviors change because of the quantity of turbines, and the turbines are getting to be high enough with the hub heights approaching 100 meters. But nothing as big as a 20 megawatt machine out on the ocean. It’s mixing the t- the, the air quite a bit, changing the temperature. Uh, is this something that climatologists are looking at, Rosemary, or, or, or watching closely, particularly with the, uh, fish life and sea life around the wind turbines?  Rosemary Barnes: I don’t know. My thing with MingYang is that they’re always, like, you only ever hear about them ’cause they’re announcing the biggest something, right? Um, that’s like the extent of it. It’s not like you hear about, oh, there’s a wind farm near you and it’s gonna have MingYang turbines in it. You never hear that. You only hear about they’ve got the biggest, and now next year they’ve got the new biggest, the biggest, the biggest, the biggest. And, uh, it’s like I know that they do actually make some, like, a lot of turbines. I think they’re in the, we mentioned last week, they’re in the top five manufacturers, um, mostly or maybe [00:09:00] pretty much entirely for the Chinese market. Um, so it’s not like I think they don’t make anything. But I do think it’s quite easy to announce the biggest something. This announcement is also like, yeah, okay, but is it real? Like it’s the, it’s a big, it’s a really big turbine. It’s going pretty high, but like offshore, um, there are, I think, onshore turbines being announced that are gonna go as high or higher because, you know, onshore, um, turbines have much taller towers than, than offshore. So I actually don’t think that it probably is a record for the tallest, like, tip that’s scraping. This is a thing that’s always happened, and sure, that’s interesting to have a look at and see if it has any local impact. It’s not like it’s, it’s not creating energy, right? It’s not gonna warm up, um, the, the planet. I mean, it’s, yeah, taking energy out of the, the air and then converting it to electricity. Um, so overall you’re gonna end up with the same amount of, of energy. But yeah, could be interesting to study, study what’s happening specifically.  Matthew Stead: I think it’s a so what question. You know, so what? I mean, I can sneeze and [00:10:00] I’d change the local environment, but who cares if I sneeze and change the local environment? You know, the, you know, the weather is inherently turbulent and, you know- There’s mixing and there’s all sorts of stuff naturally occurring. Yeah, my question is, so what?  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. I mean, it’s interesting in terms of, like, wakes of wind turbines and, you know, there’s, uh, people are researching that more because it’s not well enough understood, I think, for some of the really big offshore wind regions where there’s heaps of different wind farms and, you know, like, you’re gonna wanna know if you’ve got a win- an existing wind farm or you’re planning one, and then they sell, um, rights to build one immediately upstream of you, then, you know, you’re gonna wanna understand how, how all that local atmospheric stuff is, is happening exactly. Um, but yeah, like, it’s not, it’s not quite new and it’s not, yeah, like you said, it’s not unique to wind turbines. Um, so yeah, it is, like, slightly interesting, I would say. 5 out of 10 interesting.  Allen Hall: How much time should we spend on contrails? [00:11:00] Because we spent a good 20 minutes before we started this podcast talking about contrails, which is a one or maybe a negative one on the scale of should I follow this? Rosemary Barnes: How interesting is the fact that air travel is contributing to climate change? How interesting is that on a scale of one to 10?  Allen Hall: Zero.  Matthew Stead: Eight.  Allen Hall: It’s like the, it’s like the cow argument, right?  Rosemary Barnes: Allen doesn’t care about climate change. That’s okay.  Allen Hall: You asked me to put it on a ranking of where it is in importance. It’s, it’s nowhere near m- even a five.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. So Yves said zero. Matt said eight. What about you, Yolanda? How, how interesting is the fact that air travel impacts climate change?  Yolanda Padron: I think it’s, like, a six.  Rosemary Barnes: Six. Okay. And so did you know that, um, airplanes are 2.5% of the world’s emissions, um, come from air, air travel? And did you know that I think it’s [00:12:00] 4% of the world’s warming comes from air travel? Of the warming, two-thirds of the warming that is caused by air travel or airplanes, uh, could be freight as well, it’s not to do with CO2. So some of that is, you know, like other, um, gases like NOx is a pretty potent greenhouse gas. Contrails are the biggest single component, the single biggest factor causing warming from, um, from air travel. And it’s not, it’s not necessary. You know, every airplane doesn’t create contrails in every trip. It’s, it’s a small number. Like, it’s a pretty small number of trips that are making contrails, and if we can better understand how like, what are the factors that lead to a contrail being formed or not, then we can avoid them and, you know, get rid of a, a percent or two of the world’s global warming. I think that’s just really huge.  Matthew Stead: What would you do about it, Rosie?  Rosemary Barnes: There’s a couple of solutions I know that other people are working on that sound very interesting to me. So the first is that if you change the fuel, like, [00:13:00] um, to sustainable aviation fuel, like a, a biofuel, some of those that have been tested also produce less contrails. I don’t know the exact reason why. Would be interesting to find out. That’s one thing. But secondly, um, if you can get good data about, like, very local atmospheric conditions and, you know, let the world’s airplane fleet can communicate with each other and some AI processing in real time, you can make small changes to your flight path to avoid making contrails, and yeah, you get, um, a small increase in, in f- fuel burn, I guess, from deviating from the most efficient route, but a big, big inc- um, decrease in contrails. Uh, so I think both of those are really promising solutions.  Allen Hall: It’s not that easy It isn’t like every airplane’s out there changing its altitude to keep away from creating contrails. There’s whole systems, thousands of people working at any one moment to keep airplanes up in the air. So it, it’s not something you just willy-nilly say, [00:14:00] “AI can adjust my altitude or my flight plan to deviate so I can prevent contrails.” It’s not that easy. It’s actually a huge undertaking, and it may end up burning more fuel.  Rosemary Barnes: Oh, I mean, it’s an incredibly complex system to keep airplanes up and not colliding. Um, I believe it’s not centrally planned. It’s not like you’re not logging your whole flight path any- anymore. I, I listened to a podcast about this the other day, and in the past you used to log your entire flight plan and not deviate from it, but now it, it’s done a bit on the fly. So I’m sure that there are already hundreds or thousands of factors that an aircraft computer is taking into account, um, when it’s figuring out exactly where it’s gonna go, and this would be another bit of complexity. I don’t, I don’t think it’s easy, otherwise we’d already be doing it. But I think it’s, it’s promising. And I think it’s easier than making hydrogen airplanes, for example. I think it’s easier than electrifying airplanes. And the fact of it is that even if you do [00:15:00] have sustainable aviation fuel, if it’s still making contrails, it’s still causing warming. So if you wanna actually s- solve, uh, you know, heating from flying, then you have to, you have to tackle the contrail part of the problem. It’s the biggest, it’s the biggest chunk on its own, bigger than CO2.  Matthew Stead: So did we get here by talking about possible contrails from wind turbines? Is that what we were talking about?  Rosemary Barnes: No. It was because Allen was saying before that we were gonna go off the rails, and he’s like, “Oh, you know what? In no time we’ll be talking about contrails,” like using it as an example of a tinfoil hat-wearing person. And I’m like, “Actually, that is a tinfoil hat that I do like to wear,” the contrails one. Um, not because I think the government is controlling me, uh, with with, you know, targeted hor- hormone or chemical releases via contrails, but because of the global warming potential.  Matthew Stead: Could a, a really tall wind turbine create contrails? What, what’s the physics behind that?  Allen Hall: [00:16:00] It’s just, um, water, right? So you’re just condensing water and shoving it out the back. When you’re burning hydrocarbons, it’s one of the byproducts, right? It’s like in, when, in an internal combustion engine, you see water dripping out the tailpipe. It’s this very similar kind of thing. Uh, so how much water comes out is dependent upon somewhat the fuel, as Rosie’s pointed out, so you can slightly change it, but a lot of it has to do with the temperature, altitude, pressure moisture content of the air, all those different factors play into it. So you’d have to have, in order to go look at it, you’d have to have a bunch of sensors on the airplane, which, which the aircraft may have some of them, but probably not enough to determine if they’re creating contrails besides looking out the window to see what’s coming out on the backside of the engine. Matthew Stead: A wind turbine could not create contrails. The pressure differential and the, the vapor pressure-  Allen Hall: Yeah, it’s not enough to, you’re, you’re not, you’re not changing temperatures enough, [00:17:00] right? So you, you basically have to change the dew point. That’s the way I would think about it. You have to change the dew point somehow, which I guess you could do maybe by a degree or so locally, you may be able to, to change it, and maybe you could. Um, well, we have seen tip vortices, right? So tip vortices, you have seen these contrails off the, the tips of, of, of aircraft wings.  Rosemary Barnes: But are they durable? You know, ’cause like, yeah, you see tip vortices off, yeah, off wing, wingtips, off wind turbine tips as well. But I don’t think they stay in the air after, you know, they, um, you can see them, and then they dissipate usually. Allen Hall: Yeah, it, it depends. You’ll see it when aircraft land quite a bit. Depends on what the temperature, humidity is at that particular moment, but th- those will, those will hang around a little bit  Rosemary Barnes: But I mean, certainly you can, you can, um, cause droplets to freeze from a wind turbine being there. That’s how they get iced up, is that their… Or either their water was super cooled to begin with and it just needs a, a surface to latch onto so that the crystal can, [00:18:00] um, form or also, yeah, like, I mean, in the aerodynamics there is that point between where the air goes over and under and you, um, sta- stagnation or-  Allen Hall: Stagnation point?  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. So you can, um, you, you could get some freezing there. Allen Hall: You can create cold zones.  Rosemary Barnes: I, as far as I know, all that stuff is just causing ice to build up on the blade. I don’t think that it’s, um… Yeah. And anyway, even if it did, like even if you did affect the, um, you know, have some ice particles forming in the, um, the wake then it’s just going to, or I don’t know, get hit the next time the, the, the blade goes through or, yeah, fa- fall out I would think ’cause it’s quite close to the ground  Allen Hall: but- Just to tie into what Rosemary’s saying, although I think wasting time on contrails is not worth the effort, I do think meteorologists do not do enough work on big changes that are happening to the planet in regards to, like, renewable energy is one of them, like wind turbines. I [00:19:00] haven’t seen a lot of work done about are wind turbines changing the temperature locally or not. I mean, they- I’ve seen some top level things, solar panels, but the same thing could be seen about shipping.  Rosemary Barnes: Oh, I mean shipping, shipping was, shipping was, um, cooling the planet until we, um, brought in restrictions on how much, um, sulfur emissions that you could, you could make. But can I use this to actually plug a, um, a, a pro- a collaborative project that we’re about to start where actually, uh, this is quite specific to Australia, to Queensland and Northern New South Wales. We’ve got a study, uh, collaborative study from a bunch of wind farms in that area and getting some academic researchers involved to look at how, like very detailed how lightning is in that region. And one of the questions that we’re gonna look at is what, h- how has the, um, the presence of wind farms, like when wind farms are built, how has that affected the local lightning, um, area? [00:20:00] So we’re gonna be able to answer, uh, you know, like to what extent have these wind farms caused increases in In lightning  Allen Hall: Or decreases  Rosemary Barnes: Or decreases. I’d, I, oof, yeah. I, I’d be surprised if it was decreases, and I will say, like, yeah, that area of Queensland, northern New South Wales, um, you know, they get kind of tropical storms, um, heaps and heaps of lightning, you know, hundreds hundreds of, um, strikes in a single storm sometimes, you know, and, you know, in one wind farm. But even if you think, like, uh, down in Victoria, New South Wales and Victoria, where you look at a lightning map and there should be very little lightning there, there are certain sites that are actually having huge problems with lightning, like way more strikes than you would expect based on the map, and I think that partly that’s also ’cause it just varies locally. But the other thing is, like, a l- a lot more of really damaging strikes. It is something that’s the world needs to do more of, is looking into, like, really local lightning, understanding how the wind farm is interacting with the lightning, causing lightning, how it differs from place to place. [00:21:00] I’m really hoping that, yeah, this, this one study that we’re working on now, and anyone who has a wind farm in that area, Queensland, northern New South Wales, if you wanna be involved, get in touch. The more people involved, the cheaper it is. But I think that that’s definitely something that can improve how lightning protection systems are, are designed, if we just know, like, what’s, what’s happening. ‘Cause there aren’t great links between OEMs doing the design and people in the field experiencing damage. Like, they don’t talk. Even when it’s the same company, you know, if it’s Vestas or GE that designed the turbine and is now servicing the turbines, they, they don’t necessarily talk to each other as much as, um, would be ideal.  Allen Hall: Using the EOLOGIX-PING lightning sensors, we just completed a study over a five-year period, uh, just about that subject. Rosemary Barnes: Where, where did you do that?  Allen Hall: In the States.  Rosemary Barnes: And will you be publishing the results and sending a, a letter to Vestas and GE and Siemens and whoever else and send them a letter, “Attention lightning expert”? [00:22:00] Matthew Stead: We’re probably just gonna put it on the website.  Rosemary Barnes: But is there even a, a, a conference, a, a conference for wind turbines and lightning? Con- considering it’s, like, one of the number one O&M things, like we’re-  Matthew Stead: There’s one in Melbourne next year in February.  Rosemary Barnes: I wasn’t attempting to, um, set the stage for, uh, this is why everyone has to come to our event. I mean, it, it, it’s so strange to me that there isn’t just, you know, like, a big conference every year. I mean, it could be every two years where all of the univ- like there’s heaps of people researching it, heaps of people working on designing on it, heaps of people working on operating it, repairing it when it doesn’t work, and, um-  Allen Hall: I think they’re looking at it from a very, uh, local scale And looking at a turbine taking a lightning strike and the things you can do to reduce damage or what the, the physics are locally, ’cause we don’t understand all that much about lightning, honestly. However, on a, on a larger scale, which is what the effort we’re working on right now, is that we’re looking at several states that are right in the thunderstorm alley and where [00:23:00] there’s a lot of wind turbines, thousands and thousands of wind turbines. What you see is, uh, a real change in the, in the weather patterns and in lightning, but it depends on the time of year. And having the EOLOGIX-PING lightning sensors on gives us a better sense of the number of strikes that are occurring, where they’re occurring on the wind farms. Uh, o- otherwise, all the other services that you could use wouldn’t be nearly as accurate. A lot of false positives.  Rosemary Barnes: But I wanna say, like, I think you’re so right that lightning it- it’s very local, like, and s- lightning behaves differently depending where you are. It dep- dep- behaves differently or it affects your turbine differently depending on what kind of LPS you’ve got. But the problem is that it’s not like there’s, um, you know, a catalog of LPSs and you’re like, “This one suits the lightning in Japan, and this one suits the lightning in Queensland.” It’s one– Y- if you want a GE turbine, this is the, it comes with a certain type of LPS, and the same with, with Vestas and, you know, ev- every other manufacturer. And they’ve all, I’m sure, got types of lightning that [00:24:00] they are better or worse suited to, but the information is, is certainly not out there for someone who’s choosing a turbine, and I don’t think that it’s actually properly understood by, by anyone. Because, like, who’s measuring all of the characteristics that you would need to know to design the LPS better? Almost no one. Most of the people doing that in the world are probably, yeah, on this podcast today. Um, but it’s, uh… And, and when they are being measured, is it being communicated back to every OEM so they can know? Like, of course it’s, it’s not.  Allen Hall: I’ll give you a good example because it happened over the past week or two. Looking at a wind turbine blade that had some damage to it, and the question was, was it caused by lightning? That was the question. And that’s a really good question. So I thought, “Oh, this will be easy,” because there’s gonna be a plethora of- lightning test data reports talking about testing of this particular kind of aluminum mesh on fiberglass surfaces, and [00:25:00] there really is not much. I was shocked by it. So I always think like if, if I can’t put my fingers on it readily, then what is a blade engineer or a site supervisor or someone who owns an asset’s gonna do?  Rosemary Barnes: I saw a presentation at Wind Europe last year or whenever I went, when I met with, with you both, probably both of you there, um, uh, that Polytech did where they had done some fatigue testing, um, of copper mesh and its lightning, um, protecting capabilities. And they did f- they, so they, you know, put some mesh into, um, fatigue testing, I, I think, or they, they damaged it a bit with a bit fatigue, some micro cracks and stuff. And they just did find that it heated up a lot after that. Um, you know, after it was a bit damaged, they were getting like real hot spots. And so then you’re gonna start to see laminate damage, um, in the, the area underneath that. So yeah, I, I think that more, more, like it’s a, it’s a good step that we’re now thinking [00:26:00] of, you know, protecting better than what we used to do with just, you know, one receptor in the, the tip and a cable, especially, you know, throw in carbon fiber and you, you know, make a second electrically conductive path and have flashover and stuff. It’s really great that, you know, we’ve evolved beyond that design, but it’s not finished yet. Like th- all those designs are new. There’s a lot of them out there. It sound like everyone’s like, “Oh, it’s, you know, we don’t have to worry if it’s got mesh over the whole blade.” It’s like, okay, maybe you don’t have to worry. Maybe, maybe you do. We, we kind of have to, have to keep on monitoring those for a few years and sharing the information.  Allen Hall: As wind energy professionals, staying informed is crucial, and let’s face it, difficult. That’s why the Uptime Podcast recommends PES Wind Magazine. PES Wind offers a diverse range of in-depth articles and expert insights that dive into the most pressing issues facing our energy future. Whether you’re an industry veteran or new to wind, PES Wind has the high-quality content you need. Don’t miss out. Visit [00:27:00] peswind.com today. In the current issue of PES Wind Magazine, there are a number of great articles. If you haven’t received your copy, you should just go to peswind.com and where you can read it and download a copy. Well, uh, this issue has an article from ZF and talking about gearboxes. And as we all know, inside every gearbox there are bearings and surfaces. Those tend to be the weak links when things break. And for decades, the industry has used roller bearings and, uh, the same kind basically you find in other machines. Uh, they work, but they do wear out. And how many times have you seen bearings, roller bearings wear out inside of gearboxes? Quite a bit. So– And they, they, they break down, they go offline. It’s, it’s a big problem. But ZF Wind Power says it has cracked the code with its hydrodynamic plain bearings. The company has already installed 36 gigawatts of gearboxes [00:28:00] using this technology, and they say field inspections show no measurable wear. Uh, the next generation, uh, which is a single film design, is heading to production in 2027. So ZF uses a different technique to keep their gearboxes running for a long time, which is, uh, it’s a simple device mechanically, but it is quite complicated in the way you have to design materials. Uh, basically plain bearings are what’s used in, in internal combustion engine around camshafts and things of that sort. But designing those and making sure you have the right materials is the trick, Matthew, and you’ve been around cars for quite a while. It’s, it’s the right approach if you can make it work, and it looks like ZF has done a really good job of making these, uh, bearing services work.  Matthew Stead: Yeah, it sounds like a, a perfect, uh, innovation. I, I heard about this the first time, I think it was a couple of years ago. And, and like you said, Allen, um, you know, cars for the [00:29:00] last 100 years or so have, have been using journal bearings. I probably need to fact check that one. It may not be 100 years yet, but definitely cars from a long time ago have been using these, um, these bearings. Um, I, I think, uh, one question is, though, around condition monitoring. You know, how do you actually monitor the condition of the, the s- the surfaces? Um, you know, with a traditional roller bearing, you can use, you know, vibration techniques. I’m not aware of as many condition monitoring techniques for, for the journal bearings. Um, perhaps, um, obviously the oil, oil particle and, you know, checking the oil quality, et cetera, et cetera. But, um, that might be where the gap might occur. But You know, if they’re lasting, if they’re not degrading, um, there’s no moving parts, um, yeah, great  Allen Hall: The issue is lubrication, right? Because you’ve got basically two well-designed flat metal surfaces that you have to provide lubrication to, and those two surfaces are moving relative to one another. The lubrication [00:30:00] matters ’cause you’re literally riding on a very, very thin layer of lubricant. So making sure the lubricant gets in there, that it’s, it’s clean, and it’s always available, uh, is the trick. That’s why in today’s world, a lot of internal combustion engines can go several hundred thousand miles in a vehicle because the lubrication systems have gotten so much better over the last 50, 60 years. And ZF is probably using something very similar, where the, the technology has gotten better and the metallurg- the metallurgy has gotten way better, and control of that. Because the, the bearing surface really matters, and there’s two pieces to it, right? You got this rotating– To simplify it, you got a rotating shaft, and then you have this bearing surface that that shaft sits on. The, the rotating shaft is gonna be made out of something relatively hard, where the bearing surface is gonna be made out of a mixture of metals that is a little bit soft. So if anything goes wrong, that bearing surface, that little race right there, uh, will wear, [00:31:00] and you can replace it. But if kept lubricated and cleaned and proper, that will run dang near forever, as ZF has proven. Matthew Stead: I think it’s the starting load. I think it’s when it’s at stationary and then starts. So I’m getting that initial lubrication. From my understanding, that’s where the, where the challenge lies. And, you know, obviously in a combustion engine in a vehicle, it’s starting and stopping all the time. So, um, but I just wonder, are the loads higher? Um, how does that occur in a, in a actual, um, gearbox on a, a turbine?  Allen Hall: Right. It’s not like a main, uh, shaft bearing, right? The– It’s, it’s in a gearbox. You have a lot of planetary gears and a lot of rotating com- pieces there But the, I think the trick is, one, understanding what’s happening load-wise, and hydrodynamic bearings can have some issues if things are twisting in weird ways. So a gearbox is probably the right place to do this technique because of it’s a [00:32:00] controlled environment necessarily.  Matthew Stead: Alignment.  Allen Hall: Yeah. So you can, you can control how the, the loads are carried internally to it, which would make it last a lot longer. S- because roller bearings and, and all of the complexities around that, uh, we’ve seen those fail so many times inside of wind turbines because it’s hard to control everything about that. Al- although they, they can be extremely durable, I would say ZF is onto something in, in terms of delivering a gearbox that can actually run longer using, uh, good engineering. That’s what it is. It’s just really good engineering. So if you haven’t seen this issue of PES Wind, you should download it today. Go to peswind.com. That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy podcast.

Send us Fan MailOverviewIn this episode, we move beyond the industry's obsession with nominal appliance ratings to confront a uncomfortable truth: "The Phantom Efficiency." We sit down with Robert Whitney to discuss why the UK heating sector is currently failing its first major test in the transition to electrification. We explore why we continue to chase theoretical efficiency gains on a spec sheet while ignoring the systemic failure of control strategies in the real world. This is a deep dive into the engineering reality of why our heating systems remain stuck in a high-temperature, on-off cycle, and why "effective control" is the missing link between a building's design and its actual performance.Critical Discussion TopicsThe Myth of Nominal Efficiency: Why the sector prioritises the "sticker" efficiency of an appliance over the reality of how it operates within an integrated system.The "Lobotomised" Boiler: A technical deconstruction of why high-precision modulating boilers are being throttled by outdated switch-live logic, effectively stripping them of the very intelligence we paid for.Transition or Stagnation? Why the shift to heat pumps is exposing the industry's deeper reliance on "rule of thumb" design. We discuss why the lack of systemic control knowledge is one of the greatest barriers to decarbonisation.The Path to Mastery:Why "lifelong learning" and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing—as championed by the BetaTeach ethos—are the only ways to move from phantom efficiency to verifiable performance.Key Technical TakeawaysBeyond the Appliance: Moving the industry narrative from "the boiler is efficient" to "the heating system is optimised."The Physics of Delta T: Robert clarifies why low-temperature flow are not just "nice to haves" but fundamental requirements for both condensing boilers and heat pumps.Data as the Antidote: How community-driven data initiatives (like OpenEnergyMonitor) are providing the hard evidence needed to challenge institutional inertia.About Our GuestRobert Whitney is an independent consultant and former technical leader in the global controls manufacturing sector. With a unique background spanning legacy controls and modern startups, he brings a "no-punches-pulled" perspective on the engineering realities of our current transition.ResourcesRead the latest newsletter: The Phantom Efficiency: Why Boiler Control Strategy Has Become the First Real TestOur thanks to the guild patrons for their continued support: CastRads, Primary Pro, UK Radiators, Payaca, Esby, and Woolsey's Renewables Centre.Support the showLearn more about heat pump heating by followingNathan on Linkedin, Twitter and BlueSky

Forza Horizon 6 rast durch Japan und zementiert einmal mehr seinen Status: Es ist der unangefochtene König der Open-World-Racer. Doch wie gesund ist es eigentlich für ein Genre, wenn ein einzelnes Spiel ein absolutes Monopol besitzt? In dieser Folge GameStar Talk diskutieren Felix, Ann-Kathrin und Dimitry über das Phänomen der "Platzhirsche". Warum traut sich kaum noch ein anderes Studio, ein Open-World-Rennspiel zu entwickeln? Führt diese absolute Vormachtstellung zwangsläufig zum "FIFA-Syndrom", bei dem aus Angst vor der Community jede echte Innovation im Keim erstickt wird? Wir sprechen über den schmalen Grat zwischen Fan-Service und Stagnation, diskutieren den fiesen 120-Euro-Monetarisierungs-Trend und blicken zurück in die Spielegeschichte: Welche ehemals unantastbaren Könige – wie damals SimCity – haben sich durch Fehler und Arroganz letztlich selbst vom Thron gestoßen?

Nach nur zwei Jahren im Amt steckt der britische Premierminister Keir Starmer in einer tiefen Krise. Angetreten mit dem Versprechen, das politische Chaos der konservativen Vorgänger zu beenden, gilt der Labour-Chef heute selbst als Sinnbild der Stagnation. Massive Staatsverschuldung, hohe Lebenshaltungskosten und die ungelöste Migrationsfrage belasten das Land. Starmer selbst wirkt führungsschwach und verstrickt sich in politische Kehrtwenden. Während er versucht, den Druck auszusitzen, bringen sich parteiinterne Rivalen bereits für seine Nachfolge in Stellung. Die tiefe Unzufriedenheit der Bevölkerung mit dem politischen Establishment ebnet jedoch einer ganz anderen Kraft den Weg. Nigel Farage mit seiner rechtspopulistischen Partei Reform UK könnte der lachende Dritte sein.

Episode 226: Viktoria NasyrovaViktoria Nasyrova is a Russian native who landed herself on interpol's radar after allegedly committing a murder in Russia before fleeing to New York City where she attempted to murder at least one more. Viktoria had befriended Alla Aleksenko, her neighbor in Russia, and the two had grown close. When Alla stopped answering her daughter Nadia's calls, flags were raised. Viktoria had taken off to NYC before charges were filed. Once there, she used poisoned cheesecake (you read that right) in the attempted murder of a Ukrainian lookalike, Olga Tsvyk, to steal her passport. Viktoria worked as an escort/dominatrix who would often sedate her clients before robbing them. It's unknown what her murder count truly is.

A movie from 2006 looks like it could have come out last year. The cars are the same. The computers are the same. The fashion, the cinematography, the music -- all of it effectively unchanged. Chris and Daniel use The Devil Wears Prada as a lens to ask a question that goes well beyond film: has Western pop culture simply... stopped moving? The conversation covers the film's craft -- Meryl Streep's uncommonly restrained performance, why the movie works better than it has any right to, and why Daniel reads Miranda Priestly not as a villain but as a Whiplash-style manifestation of what the main character actually wants. But the real thesis is bigger: the iPhone, social media, the collapse of risk-taking across studios and streaming, and why neither audiences nor executives are really to blame -- the incentive structure is. Chris and Daniel also get into the sin-eater problem, why indie film has lost its live-wire energy, and what it actually takes to stop doom-scrolling and just make the thing.

On the gig economy, big tech, and ideology. Sociologist Will Charles talks to Alex about a form of social organisation that has stopped trying to justify itself. How should the gig economy work and how does it actually work? Is any worker in this economy a 'true believer'? Why isn't digital sophistication a proof of economic efficiency? What's the relationship between secular stagnation, value capture, and rentierism? Do workers hold to a latent moral economy that could provide the basis for revolt?

In dieser Folge ist das dynamische Duo Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz wieder vereint – zumindest virtuell! Während Defffner noch den Geschmack von Tortellini di Ragù auf der Zunge und den Rhythmus der venezianischen Gondeln im Blut hat (für stolze 90 Euro die halbe Stunde!), berichtet Zschäpitz direkt aus dem Auge des Marketing-Sturms: von der OMR in Hamburg. Die Themen im Überblick: Italien-Update: Warum die italienische Bahn der Deutschen Bahn meilenweit voraus ist und weshalb die Campari-Aktie trotz „Spritz-Trend“ im roten Bereich dümpelt. OMR-Check: 67.000 Menschen, 590 Euro Eintritt – und trotzdem kein richtiges WLAN? Wir blicken mit der Investorenbrille auf die Marketing-Messe: Was taugen die Prognosen von Scott Galloway wirklich? Der Bulle der Woche: Wasserstoff-Power für die Verteidigung oder die Rückkehr zur Authentizität in einer KI-inflationierten Welt? Der Bär der Woche: Warum Deffner sein Magenta TV nach Jahren kündigt (Spoiler: Ein grottiger Chatbot ist schuld) und warum bei einem tschechischen Rüstungsriesen die Alarmglocken schrillen. Das Hauptthema: Ein Jahr neue Bundesregierung. Ist es eine Bilanz des Aufbruchs oder nur „Stagnation auf Pump“? Wir diskutieren über Investitionsbooster, den Iran-Krieg und die Frage, warum der Kanzler seine Worte manchmal nicht im Griff hat. Hört rein, wenn es wieder heißt: Bullen, Bären und die harte Wahrheit über euer Geld! DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist.

7. HEADLINE: German Economic Stagnation and Strategic Critiques GUEST: Judy Dempsey SUMMARY:Friedrich Merz describes Germany as "humiliated" by Iran due to a lack of clear U.S. strategy. Germany faces its fourth year of stagnant growth and a severe demographic crunch with record-low births. While Merz remains an Atlanticist, he critiques the Trump administration's transactional approach and lack of a strategic exit plan.1901

What if the key to thriving in today's fast-paced world has been around for thousands of years? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh connects with ninth-generation doctor of Eastern medicine Dr. Jenelle Kim to explore the ancient principles behind modern wellness, longevity, and true inner balance. Dr. Jenelle shares the deeply personal story behind her book, “The Korean Art of Living Well: The Eight Keys of Living Meditation for Balance and Transformation,” a work inspired by her lineage and her father's legacy. Rooted in 10,000-year-old Daoist traditions, she introduces the three pillars of optimal living: medicine, movement, and mindset. The conversation dives into how modern life creates stagnation, mentally, physically, and spiritually, and how simple practices like breathwork, grounding, and even laughter can restore flow. Dr. Jenelle explains that true wellness comes down to function and flow, and that imbalance begins when we become stuck in our thoughts.

On political capitalism and divided workers. Sociology professor at UC Berkeley, Dylan Riley, talks to Alex and Lee about economic stagnation, the state propping up capitalism, and class politics. What is "political capitalism"? And is it true that plunder and predation matter more now than exploitation? Why hasn't the ruling class purged the system through mass bankruptcies and unemployment? How does Chinese state capitalism fit into the story of stagnation and excess capacity? What is the difference between economic interests and class interests? How is the working class divided today? Is there a way out of the impasse? What possibility is there of a pro-growth politics? –> For more like this, subscribe: patreon.com/bungacast

Learning is often something we associate with school or a specific season of life. But Scripture presents wisdom as something we are meant to pursue continually. Proverbs 19:8 reminds us, “The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.” A heart that is open to learning is a heart that remains open to growth. Yet many of us drift into one of two mindsets: either believing we already know enough, or feeling too discouraged or unmotivated to keep learning. Both can quietly lead to stagnation. God calls us to something richer. Lifelong learning is not just about gaining knowledge—it’s about becoming more aware of God, His truth, and His work in our lives. It’s about growing in wisdom, deepening our relationships, and developing the character He desires in us. Learning doesn’t always happen in structured environments. Often, it unfolds in everyday moments—through conversations, challenges, feedback, and new experiences. Each day offers opportunities to grow, if we are willing to remain humble and attentive. A teachable heart allows us to receive correction without defensiveness, to ask questions without fear, and to embrace growth even when it feels uncomfortable. It helps us see that we are always in process, always being shaped. God is the ultimate source of wisdom. As we seek Him, He equips us with understanding—not only to navigate life well, but to live in a way that honors Him. The Holy Spirit guides us, teaching us truth and helping us apply it in practical ways. When we choose to be lifelong learners, we position ourselves for continual transformation. We become more aware, more compassionate, and more aligned with God’s purposes. Main Takeaways Wisdom is something we are called to pursue throughout our lives. A teachable heart leads to growth and deeper understanding. Stagnation can come from pride or lack of motivation. Learning often happens through everyday experiences, not just formal settings. God is the ultimate source of wisdom and guides us through the Holy Spirit.
