Podcasts about Transition

Kids are being told transition will solve their distress—and sometimes that the alternative is suicide. Todd examines the stories of two young people who were swept into transgender ideology and later rejected it, revealing how schools, social media, peers, therapists, and doctors can influence vulnerable kids. Segment 1 • Layla Jane began questioning her gender after years of emotional struggles. • Social media helped convince her that transitioning could be the answer. • At just 13, she underwent a mastectomy. Segment 2 • What wasn't Layla told before taking testosterone and having surgery? • Transition promised happiness—but it didn't resolve her underlying struggles. • Todd examines the evidence surrounding puberty blockers and youth mental health. Segment 3 • Simon Amaya Price describes the brokenness that preceded his transgender identity. • School and online influences gave him a new explanation for his struggles. • How does transgender ideology spread among vulnerable teenagers? Segment 4 • Simon says nearly every professional he encountered affirmed his transgender identity. • His father said no to medical transition—and Simon is now grateful he did. • What should parents and churches learn from these stories? ___ Thanks for listening!

"This will never work in India."That's what Indian truck manufacturers said about electric freight. Now they build the trucks.Something is going on here at a speed the rest of the world has not yet noticed. Solar capacity has gone from under three gigawatts to more than 160 in ten years. Across the same decade, 171 million people moved out of extreme poverty.But in eastern Delhi, a woman who has lived beside an open mountain of garbage for fifty years asks Tom Rivett-Carnac for one thing: tell the world about us.So, in the second of three episodes from India, Tom goes looking for what is really driving this change, what it looks like up close, and whether it can deliver for the people who need it most.A cement executive who set a net zero target in 2018, when nobody else in his industry had, will give you the business case that green is profitable. Ask him what is actually driving him and he gives a different answer. Truck drivers on the Bengaluru highway who are not called drivers any more. A nine-year-old with a bicycle. This is the largest transition of its kind anywhere on earth, and it is happening right now.With Delhi-based journalist and filmmaker Adnan Bhat on the ground, and Dia Mirza, Shyla Raghav and Prachi Shevgaonkar on what it all adds up to.So what does it look like from the inside?

My guest today is Nina Friedrich, the Executive Director of High Impact Professionals (HIP). HIP helps experienced professionals move into work tackling some of the world's most pressing problems, including farmed animal welfare. Nina has a PhD in mathematics from Cambridge University and previously worked as a software engineer and strategy consultant before making a career change towards more altruistic work herself.In this episode, we talk about why moving into animal advocacy can be such an impactful and fulfilling choice, particularly for people who already have years of professional experience. We discuss which skills the movement needs most, the trade-offs involved in changing careers and how people can test the waters for what they might want to do, before quitting their jobs.We also explore HIP's different programmes, common mistakes job applicants make and also what animal advocacy organisations could do better when trying to attract experienced professionals.As a heads up, this episode is pitched at a slightly different audience than usual. If you already work in the movement I think you'll still get something out of it, but I think this conversation will be most useful for someone who is wondering whether they should transition to working in the movement. Also, if you know someone who has been considering changing careers to help animals, please share this with them! Chapters:(00:00:00) - Introduction(00:02:35) - Rethinking Coding Agents(00:07:21) - What HIP Actually Does(00:12:19) - Why People Join HIP(00:14:57) - Why Farm Animal Welfare(00:20:35) - Funding And Movement Growth(00:23:03) - Skills Needed To Scale(00:36:05) - Impact Beyond Nonprofits(00:39:05) - Finding the Right Org Fit(00:41:47) - Strategic Job Search(00:44:54) - Boards and Ecosystem Mapping(00:45:42) - Key Resources and Mentoring(00:51:29) - Inside Impact Accelerator(01:01:13) - Common Application Pitfalls(01:04:24) - Closing QuestionsResources:Coefficient Giving AI enablement blogHIP blog post on AI for EA ForumAI windfall newsletter by Lewis BollardAnimal Advocacy conferencesAnimal and Vegan Advocacy Summit (global)care eu conferenceVARC (UK)HIP Impact Accelerator ProgramTalent Directory:For TalentRecruiter AccessHIP Book “The High-Impact Professional's Playbook” Further free HIP resourcesHIP Pledge ClubBlog post “Finding a High-Impact Job: Stand Out by Going the Other Way”Join our newsletter: Follow Nina on LinkedInAmbitious Impact - animal welfare incubation round Magnify MentoringYou Can Just Do Things, Cate Hall (2026): The GiveWell podcastWith thanks to Tom Felbar (Ambedo Media) for amazing video and audio editing!Note: My (James') views here are my personal opinions and don't represent those of Coefficient Giving.If you enjoy the show, please leave a rating and review us - it means a lot to us!

For Dr. Erek Ostrowski, the quality of our reflection is the quality of our coaching. In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, he describes how intentional, multifaceted reflection produces new understanding and enables us to take action in ways we could not previously envisage.As well as holding a PhD in Organisational Development and Change, and being a senior leadership and executive coach who founded Verve Coaching, Erek is the author of The Capable Group Coach, which “invites coaches and organisations to embrace the complexity, relational depth, and unique human potential that only group coaching can unlock”.Erek's passion for group coaching, which he believes can help us to address a crisis of meaning that is emerging in the workplace, has fuelled his rise to the very top of his field, and in discussion with host Alex Whitton he explains why there is an increasing demand for group coaching from forward-thinking organisations.The vital importance of experimentation in coaching is a focus of this conversation, and Erek and Alex discuss how coaches can ensure their work is grounded in a solid evidence base while freeing themselves up to be guided by the knowledge that emerges through play and by trying out new things. Erek also speaks sagely about the indispensible value of curiosity in a multifaceted career, and about the tremendous cost we risk if we fail to attend to our gut instincts.This episode is packed full of wisdom and insight from a true innovator and thought leader, who shares his expertise on how to increase the value of your work by developing a practice that produces impact, meaning and possibility far beyond what takes place in the coaching room.Erek and Alex also talk about:• How often practice leads research and the power of learning through doing • The nuanced approaches required when working in different group coaching contexts• How shiatsu and embodied work inform Erek's practice• The different possibilities that open up when working with a capabilities-based model rather than a competencies-based model• How to attune yourself to emergent demand, and create something that people really want!• The benefits of getting involved in scholarship to your positioning in the field of coaching• The crucial differences between group coaching and team coachingTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT:- Systems theory https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/psychology/systems-theory - Organisational theory https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/organisational-theory - The GROW model https://www.coachingcultureatwork.com/the-grow-model/- David Kolb, learning cycle - https://www.britishschoolofcoaching.com/kolbs-learning-cycle-in-coaching/- John Dewey, Learning by doing - https://www.simplypsychology.org/john-dewey.html- William Bridges, Transition theory - https://wmbridges.com/about/what-is-transition/- Malcolm Knowles, adult learning theory - https://infed.org/dir/welcome/malcolm-knowles-informal-adult-education-self-direction-and-andragogy/- The Capable Group Coach, by Erek Ostrowski https://www.routledge.com/The-Capable-Group-Coach-Bridging-Knowledge-and-Practice-for-Transformative-Learning-and-Change-in-Groups/Ostrowski/p/book/9781041158516 - Tony Grant, https://instituteofcoaching.org/author/grant-anthony- Irvin Yalom, The Theory and Practices of Group Psychotherapy https://www.yalom.com/- David Drake, https://www.davidbdrake.com/- Ken Giglio, Mindful Leadership https://mindful-leaders.com/- Jevons Paradox, https://www.npr.org/sections/planet-money/2025/02/04/g-s1-46018/ai-deepseek-economics-jevons-paradox BIOGRAPHY FROM EREKDr. Erek J.

“I've been, so one of my writer friends who I published, a guy called Ian Kerner, he was one of the producers behind “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley and “Stay Another Day” by Seventeen and Kylie. He was a big producer, and I took him to Eurovision. He was the first person I went with, and he turned to me and said, ‘This is the biggest thing I've ever done.' And I'm sitting there thinking, ‘But you were number one in America with Rick Astley.' Yet he's saying that he meant the show. The show was, ‘I've never been, it's like the Olympics. It's that big.' And then you want to go back every year. Every time I take someone new, they're like, ‘I'll come back next year. I'm trying to get in next year.'” – Greig WattsThis episode's guest is one half of the UK-based writing, production and publishing team DWB, and in recent years, he's successfully hosted several songwriting camps, catering to Asia and Eurovision. The triumph of these camps and the songs they produced has established him as an expert in the fields of songwriting for the Eurovision Song Contest. Since 2016, he's supervised eighteen Eurovision entries across eleven consecutive years, along with approximately 80 national finalists within that time frame. His expertise has also led to him becoming a sought-after conference speaker, panelist, and moderator; he was the Music Consultant for Eurovision for the BBC for 2019, and he's just released his first book, Keeping the Dream Alive, which has already become an Amazon bestseller.In this conversation, we explore the moments when he nearly walked away from music, the power of reconnecting with the sounds that first moved him, and why he believes creativity is less about ego and more about connection. His name is Greig Watts, and we talk about using Eurovision as a strategic launchpad and how understanding the business of music can protect the soul of it. If you've wondered how sound becomes strategy, or how resilience turns into resonance, this episode is for you.And if you like what you hear and you want to support this podcast, there are a bunch of ways to do that at audiobrandingpodcast.com, including subscribing to the YouTube channel, the newsletter, writing a review, or buying me a coffee. Because this takes a lot of coffee. Thanks so much.(00:00) – Greig's Transition to SongwritingOur conversation starts off with Greig's early memories of sound, particularly how, as a toddler, Manfred Mann's “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” became part of the soundtrack of his life. “Whenever I hear that song,” he explains, “my great-grandmother Goodman pops back into my head, and I can only have been three at the time, but it's a real, definite memory, and I think I've got lots of those memories.” Greig tells us how his career in sound began, including how he turned down a record deal as the lead singer to follow his true passion. “What I really wanted was the songwriting,” he tells us. “It wasn't to be a front person… I was kind of getting engaged to my first wife, and I was like, I don't really want to go to Japan and be a front person in a band. I want to be a songwriter.”(14:05) – Eurovision and the Global MarketGreig tells us about his work with Eurovision and what it's taught him about bringing new musical acts to the world. “We organized our own songwriting camp,” he recalls, “and asked people to come. Probably had thirty people out there, and that's how we got our first entry for Norway. And since then, we've had an entry every year, and actually we've had 18 entries in 11 years.” We discuss his work with boy bands, J-pop, and K-pop artists, and how the international pop scene's shifted in recent years. “Japanese [artists] don't tend to come out of Japan so much,” he explains. “It's a big market, they're not so bothered about that. But Korean culture, the government is funding Korean culture coming out. That's why we're getting, you know, Squid Game. That's why we get lots of Korean films.”(28:41) – Greig's Reflections on CreativityWe discuss how Greig's career almost took a turn away from sound, and what it took to bring him back into the industry. “Eventually, I kind of felt I needed to take a year off,” he tells us, “but I wasn't going to say that. I kind of knew it, and eventually, about two years later, my wife said, ‘You need to finish now. You need to go and take a year off.'" He talks about his foray into banking, and the breakthrough that cemented his career as a songwriter. “We did say, give me a year and if I'm not making money by the end of the year, then I go back to the bank… On month twelve, I got offered a job to set up a publishing department of a record label, which meant as a songwriter, I suddenly had income.”Episode SummaryGrieg's shift from band member to songwriter and music consultant.His insights into the Asian music market and its dynamics.Our discussion on how sound influences our feelings and memories.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss the valuable lessons his grandfather shared with him and others in his life, how neurodiversity can almost be an advantage when it comes to certain industries, and why being the best songwriter doesn't necessarily lead to the most success.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

We get into stride patterns, why Edwin Moses ran 13 strides and Kevin Young 12, which leg leads on the bend, and how shoes may have interacted with fatigue to drive hurdles forward more than sprinting.(00:15:59) Masai Russell's 12.09 is the first 100m hurdles world record set without a following wind since 1986. She was anticipated as the next WR holder, and she delivered, with the promise of faster and an 11.xx on the horizon.(00:24:35) Femke Broders-Bol takes the 800m out from the front against Audrey Werro, and why the tactic was right for her even though it suited Werro perfectly.(00:34:57) Bol revealed her LT and long run paces, to much amazement. But her coach Laurent Meuwly explained this in detail, and sets us up for a fascinating discussion on Bol's transition and ceiling. We talk about her statement that her endurance is "so bad for 800", why her 400m speed matters far more, and tee up our upcoming Applied show where we will dissect her coach's explanations to Citius Mag(00:27:23) Karsten Warholm on a chaotic calendar, with our thoughts(00:43:23) The Vuelta without Tadej Pogačar, where tactical mistakes carry a cost again, and cycling as we haven't seen for a decade.

On the MamasteFit Podcast, Gina (perinatal fitness trainer/birth doula) and Roxanne (certified nurse midwife) interview Kendra, an ICU nurse and mom of three, as she shares two epidural births and her third hospital birth—unmedicated—with doula support. She reflects on initially skipping childbirth prep, feeling disconnected while pushing with a strong epidural, and later attempting an unmedicated induction during COVID that ended in an epidural after she yelled the safe word (only to be fully dilated right after). Between babies, Kendra describes an early pregnancy loss with little support, then fertility testing and Clomid before conceiving baby #3.

Every pastor will eventually face transition.But when you've spent decades building a church, developing its culture, earning the trust of your people, and carrying the vision, handing leadership to someone else is about far more than changing a title.In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Tyrone, who is preparing for a five-year transition after 33 years of leading the church he founded. We talk through how to gradually transfer authority, build trust in a successor, and prepare both the incoming and outgoing leader for what's ahead. One of the most important principles we unpack is this:Responsibility should precede title.A healthy transition doesn't happen overnight. The successor needs opportunities to lead initiatives, make strategic decisions, carry increasing authority, and eventually function as the lead pastor before officially receiving the title. We also talk about how trust gets transferred from one leader to another. You can assign responsibility, but you can't assign trust. Your people need to see you publicly affirm your successor, defer to them in important moments, and celebrate their wins. Here's some of what we unpack: Why every transition involves some level of loss  How transition can impact a pastor's identity  When a successor should begin carrying real authority  Why authority and responsibility have to increase together  How to transfer the congregation's trust to the next leader  Five qualities to evaluate before deciding a successor is truly ready  Why the ability to handle criticism, pressure, and difficult decisions matters  How to lead with both courage and compassion If you're preparing for a leadership transition now, or simply want to make sure your church is ready when that day comes, this is a conversation worth hearing.Because you don't outlive your problems. You outgrow them.

The Books of Samuel constitute one of the most sweeping, psychologically acute, and theologically profound epics in the biblical canon. Originally a single, continuous scroll, this two-part narrative charts the watershed transition of Israel from a fractured tribal confederacy into an established kingdom, laying the covenantal groundwork for the messianic hope that spans all of redemptive history. The Prophet and the Transition of Power The narrative bears the name of Samuel (שְׁמוּאֵל), whose name means "Heard of God" or "Name of God." Born in answer to Hannah's desperate prayer, Samuel bridges two distinct eras: he is the last of the Judges and the first of the great prophets to stand alongside the throne. Through his voice, the text frames the establishment of human monarchy not merely as a political evolution, but as a profound theological crisis. When the elders of Israel demand a king to be "like all the nations," Samuel warns them of the imperial tyranny that human rule inevitably brings. Yet, the LORD grants their request while subordinating the crown to the prophetic word, establishing that Israel's true Sovereign remains Yahweh alone. The Rise and Fall of Two Anointed Kings The drama unfolds along the stark contrast between two anointed leaders: Saul: The king chosen by outward stature and popular demand. Saul begins with military promise but descends into spiritual compromise, self-justification, and tragic paranoia, demonstrating the bankruptcy of a kingdom built on human autonomy. David: The youngest shepherd boy chosen for what lies within the heart. Anointed in obscurity, tested in the wilderness as a hunted exile, David ascends to unite the tribes and establish Jerusalem as the city of the Great King. Yet Samuel offers no sanitized hagiography. The text presents David in all his unvarnished complexity, capturing both the sublime heights of his devotion and the devastating catastrophe of his sin with Bathsheba, which fractures his family and his realm under divine judgment. The Song of Hannah and the Davidic Promise The theological engine of the entire narrative is announced at the very beginning in the Song of Hannah (1 Samuel 2). Hannah sings of a cosmic reversal: the LORD breaks the bows of the mighty, exalts the humble, and brings the proud down to Sheol. This theme of radical reversal culminates in the pivotal covenant of 2 Samuel 7. When David desires to build a house (a temple) for God, the LORD reverses the offer, promising instead to build David a "house" (an everlasting dynasty): "Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever." Here, amidst the shadows of Israel's early monarchy, the horizon expands toward the eternal King. The ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic line points past Solomon and the ruins of earthly Jerusalem to the true Son of David, King Jesus, whose kingdom knows no end, and who reigns not by coercion, but through the triumph of self-giving grace.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. -------------------- 01 Introduction This is the second episode in an 8 part series. 02 In the previous episode we discussed the predecessors of PLCs, in particular relay logic. In this episode we will discuss how relay logic came to be expressed in software rather than in actual hardware components. 03 The topics to be covered include * Early computers in industry. * The first PLC. * PC versus PLC - what's in a name. * Who the major brands are. * What does a PLC actually look like. * Machine architecture. * PLC programs. * The scan. * PLC programming languages. * Relative popularity of PLC programming languages versus more conventional computer programming languages. -------------------- 04 Early Computers in Industry Computers came to be used in industry fairly early on. Minicomputers were used in some large industries to control things like electric power plants. For example, the DEC PDP8 was used to control the refuelling machines in CANDU nuclear power plants. These would load and unload fuel from the reactor, which happens continually on a daily basis while the reactor is running. 05 The first microprocessor based computer sold on the commercial market was the MICRAL from France, based on the Intel 8008. It was sold as a cost effective replacement for minicomputers used in industry. It preceded what are generally considered to be the first Personal Computers. So you can see that industry were not reluctant to adopt new technology. 06 However, mini computers were large complex systems that did not fit well into a factory floor. They had particular niches in very large complex integrated systems, but were not suited to controlling many individual machines in a factory that produced things like automobiles or appliances. 07 What was needed was something that would fit into a standard electrical enclosure, withstand the temperatures found in a factory, could stand up to vibration and noise, was tolerant of voltage fluctuations, interfaced directly to sensors and actuators, and could be readily programmed by engineers, technicians, and tradesmen who were familiar with the processes to be controlled, but had little or no experience with computers. 08 This required a complete integrated package covering hardware, software, and product distribution through industrial supply retailers. Something that could meet these criteria is what was needed to become the PLC. -------------------- 09 History Many histories point to a US developer that became Modicon. However, their first hardware was more a proof of concept than a viable commercial product. In fact multiple companies in the US, Europe, and Japan were working on the problem and released comparable products all at around the same time in the early 1970s. 10 The idea preceded the implementation by a number of years. For example, General Motors had asked industrial control equipment suppliers in the mid 1960s for some sort of programmable control device to replace relay logic. This showed potential suppliers that there was a market for this sort of thing, and gave them a clearer idea of what customers were looking for. 11 What made this possible was the development of the first 8 bit microprocessor in that time period, combined with readily available bit slice processors from the minicomputer industry and other components. 12 People knew what to do, the problem was waiting for the development of suitable component hardware. Minicomputers were already being used in industry, but were normally located in control rooms. PLCs were an effort to take that technology out of control rooms and put it on the shop floor. 13 PC Versus PLC - What's in a Name In the early days, these systems were known as either PLC, which means "Programmable Logic Controller", or PC, which means "Programmable Controller". Different vendors favoured different terminology, but both were common. I have a book which was at one time one of the standard reference handbooks for this industry which was published in 1989, and refers to them as Programmable Controllers, or PCs. 14 The term PC was also used to mean "Personal Computer", but that wasn't really a problem in the early days. However, a certain large company decided to call their entry into the personal computer market the "IBM PC", and suddenly "PC" became a generic term for desktop computers. 15 After a long struggle to keep referring to their products as "PCs", even the biggest vendors caved in and gave up the fight and switched to using the "PLC" term. I will therefore use the term "PLC" in this podcast series even when talking about products which were originally called "PCs" at the time they were introduced. 16 Who the Major Brands Are The companies that came to dominate the industry fairly early on were generally companies that already made industrial electrical hardware. These were Siemens Allen Bradley, later known as Rockwell Schneider Mitsubishi Omron 17 These are still the dominant companies in the business, although there are many small brands, particularly at the cheaper end of the market. All of them were suppliers of a wide range of industrial control hardware, such that you could build all or nearly all of the parts of your control system using only their products. 18 Each of these sells an integrated hardware and software package, including development software, that is completely proprietary. If you thought that the mainframe business had a lot of vendor lock-in, you haven't seen the industrial market. -------------------- 19 What Does One of These Things Actually Look Like? At this point you are probably still very confused as to what a PLC actually is. I will attempt to describe one in basic terms by giving an example of one. The smallest and simplest ones are what are termed "shoebox" PLCs. These are basically a rectangular box with a plastic case. 20 Here are the dimensions for a typical low end model, a Mitsubishi FX3U-32M. According to specs in the manual, it is 150mm wide, 90mm high, and 86mm deep. 21 It can be mounted to the panel in an electrical enclosure by snapping it onto what is termed a DIN rail. DIN rails are standard mounting systems which use a strip of metal which is U shaped with a lip at the top of each end of the U. You screw the DIN rail to the electrical panel in the enclosure, and most industrial components such as PLCs, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and all sorts of other things will simply snap onto it and be ready to wire together. 22 Along the top and bottom of the PLC are terminals to which you can attach wires from the things you want to sense or control in the rest of the machine, such as push buttons, pilot lights, proximity sensors, and valves. 23 Inputs are along the top, and outputs are along the bottom. The FX3U-32M has 16 inputs and 16 outputs. These I/O can be 24 volts DC, or 100 to 120 volts AC, depending on the model. Alternatively it may have small relays for outputs. While AC I/O once predominated, 24VDC became the standard in most industries several decades ago as it interfaced with electronic devices more readily and also allowed for cheaper and more compact wiring. 24 More inputs and outputs can be added by connecting additional I/O modules to the main PLC next to it on the same DIN rail, up to a total of 256 I/O The connection is typically via short ribbon cables which plug into the adjacent module. These I/O modules look like the main PLC, but just add I/O. 25 Inside the PLC are a CPU, memory, and firmware. This model has 64K "steps" of memory, which can be thought of as how many instructions you can have. The program runs in RAM, but you can add a small flash memory device to save the program to. There is a run/stop switch that allows you to start or stop the user program. There is a port that you can use to connect the PLC to a laptop computer with a cable so you can download your program to it. 26 The biggest part of the market for PLCs is for these "shoebox" style. However, there are bigger ones as well which have more I/O, more memory, faster CPUs, etc. These are meant for tasks such as coordinating large assembly lines and things like that. These are what are termed rack systems, where the rack is an empty box which is open at the front and has a backplane bus running along the back. You plug the main CPU into the bus, normally in the leftmost position, and then plug I/O modules into the rack. The I/O modules are tall, thin, fully enclosed boxes with the I/O terminals along the front. 27 You should have a rough idea of their appearance at this stage, so I'll leave the physical description aside for now and go on to the concepts behind how they actually work and what makes them different from something like say a Raspberry Pi. -------------------- 28 Machine Architecture It is not really the hardware which defines the PLC. Rather, it is the software system architecture. Every PLC that I am aware of has a common set of features. 29 Data Table A data table is simply a block of memory which may or may not be subdivided into different parts. All logic, and all, or nearly all, I/O works by writing to and reading from addresses in the data table. 30 I/O Every input and output point maps to a fixed memory address in the PLC. To read the state of an input, you read its memory address. To change the state of an output, you write to its memory address. 31 These digital I/O appear as single bit boolean values. The PLC programming language has instructions which allow single bits to be read or written to directly without have to mask off other bits as you would have to do if you were using a conventional programming language. I have so far only mentioned digital I/O, which are single bit on/off values. 32 Other types of I/O Many PLCs also have other types of I/O such as Analogue I/O, which represent variable voltages rather than just on/off values. For example you may wish to read a temperature from a thermocouple where the voltage level varies with the temperature. Often these are mapped into the data table as byte or word values. 33 Internal Bit or Boolean Memory There will be a range of single bit or boolean memory which is used for internal logic state. Your program may need to come up with a series of intermediate logical values, and you store them in these internal bits or flags. 34 Timers and Counters Control of machinery often involves timing and counting. Timer and counters are mapped into the data table. Timer and counter presets and values can be read as words, and there will be bit addresses which indicate the status of the timer or counter, such as whether it has reached its preset and is "done". 35 Integer and Floating Point Values There will be word addresses where integer and floating point words can be stored. If you need to do some mathematical calculations and store the results, you would save them in an integer or floating point word. 36 Typed Memory Unlike when programming something like a PC where you simply have a range of undifferentiated bytes and it is up to your software to impose meaning on it, PLC data table memory has defined types and meanings and the system firmware enforces the correct memory access methods. 37 Size of Data Table Data tables vary greatly in size. A bigger data table allows for bigger and more complex program. Generally, new PLCs will have bigger data tables than older ones, and more expensive PLCs will have bigger data tables than cheaper ones of the same generation. 38 Example Having picked a current PLC as an example for physical dimensions, I will pick an old and obsolete one for an example of a data table. The Siemens S5-100 series was a small PLC that came in several sizes. The basic S5-100 had the following data table size. 39 Digital I/O had a maximum of 128 inputs and outputs taken together. Analogue inputs and outputs had a maximum of 8 taken together. Flag, or bit, memory was 1024 Timers - 16 Counters - 16 40 The S5-103 offered more of everything in the same basic package, but of course at a higher cost. Digital I/O had a maximum of 256 inputs and outputs taken together. Analogue inputs and outputs had a maximum of 32 taken together. Flag, or bit, memory was 2048 Timers - 128 Counters - 128 -------------------- 41 The PLC Program A PLC will come with what amounts to an operating system and virtual machine built into it. You as the programmer use the vendor's proprietary development software, what is generally called the "PLC programming software" to write an application for it. 42 You then connect your PC to the PLC using a cable of some sort, and download your program into it. The program gets stored in the PLC's RAM. There may be flash memory which serves to back up the RAM when the power is off so you don't lose the program. Before flash was available, a battery was typically required to hold the static RAM memory. 43 There is just one program in the PLC. There is no file system, just the program memory and the data table. When the PLC starts up, it runs the program that you wrote. It continues running the program until you turn off the power or you set the run/stop switch to the stop position. 44 I will come back to programming later, but we needed to cover these basic points before I could describe some further concepts we need to cover. -------------------- 45 The Scan A key thing to understand about PLCs is the "scan" concept. This works as follows. There is a repeated cycle called the scan. 46 First, the PLC reads all the physical inputs and updates the corresponding input addresses in the data table. Next it runs the user program once. Finally it reads the output addresses in the data table and writes them to the corresponding physical outputs. Then it repeats the scan from step 1. 47 A scan can take anywhere from a few milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds, depending on the model of PLC. Older PLCs and cheaper PLCs tended to be slower. However, as integrated circuit technology advanced, programs got faster. 48 The PLC has a watchdog timer. This is a timer which runs in the background and resets at the start of a scan. 49 If a scan takes too long, the watchdog will trip and stop the program and set the outputs to some defined state, either turning them all off or holding them at the last value. This is known as "faulting" the processor. 50 A watchdog fault may be caused by a program that is too long, or uses a lot of very slow instructions, or in some cases it may be due to a bug in your program. However, this last cause is not as common or as easy to cause as you may think when it comes to faults. -------------------- 51 PLC Programming Languages The key to all of this is the unique way in which the programming languages used in PLCs work. I will first briefly describe the two main programming languages and then explain how they work in a PLC as part of a complete system. 52 Ladder Logic There are several programming languages, but the main one is called ladder logic. If you listened to the previous episode, the word "ladder" will ring a bell. When machines were controlled by electromechanical relays, the electrical drawings which specified and documented the types of relays and the connections between them were called "ladder diagrams". 53 PLCs simply take these ladder diagrams and reproduce them on your computer screen in the programming software using the same standard schematic symbols. 54 You do not need to draw the symbols like it was CAD. Instead you simply use your keyboard or mouse to say that you want this symbol to be entered in the current cursor location or you want this wire to be connected from here to there. When your rung is complete the software will check at some point if it is syntactically correct. You then go on to entering the next rungs one after another until you have your complete program. 55 Instruction List An alternative representation is something called "instruction list", although various vendors may use other terms. This is a text representation that looks like a sort of assembly language. However, it's actually really ladder, just shown in a different way as text and some types of programming software will allow you to toggle between ladder and instruction list mode, translating between them automatically. 56 This should give you a clue as to how a PLC can execute a schematic diagram. Behind the scenes the programming software will translate the diagram into instruction list, and then the PLC will either execute those instructions in an interpreter, or compile them to machine code and execute those. 57 Other Programming Languages There are other programming languages, but they are rarely seen. I won't go into detail in terms of describing them, just briefly mention them. 58 One is called Sequential Function Chart. This is a type of flow chart which is designed to show complex sequences, including ones with alternate or parallel paths. The original name for this is Grafcet, spelled G R A F C E T. This stands for "Graphe Fonctionnel de Commande Étape Transition". As well as being a programming language, it is also a very good design and analysis tool even if the PLC being used doesn't support it. 59 Another is Function Block Diagram. This is another graphical language which resembles flow diagrams used in process industries. This is supposedly used mainly in industries such as chemical manufacturing. However it appears to be very niche and most people who use PLCs will never have seen it, and many will not have even heard of it. 60 Yet another language is Structured Text. This is very obviously derived from Modula-2 and strongly resembles it. If you are not familiar with Modula-2, it was created by Nikolas Wirth and intended as the successor to Pascal, which it was derived from. Structured Text seems to be much loved by a small number of academics, but seems to have little actual use in the field. You lose pretty much all of the monitoring and debugging facilities built into a PLC if you use it, so it's kind of pointless except perhaps for a few niche applications. There are a few other languages as well, mainly proprietary ones, often using flow charts or the like. 61 PLC Languages are Non-Blocking The important thing about a PLC program is that it executes from top to bottom, left to right, without stopping or blocking. There is no waiting on input or output or for a system call to return. Each rung immediately yields a result which is written to a memory address or which enables a timer or counter. Every rung is executed every scan. 62 You can reproduce this in a traditional computer programming language. In ladder logic it is inherent to the syntax and it is either very difficult or impossible to do it any other way. I'll give an example in Python of what I mean. 63 a = (b or c) and not d 64 If b or c are true and d is false, then a is set to true. If b and c are false or d is true, then a is false. 65 Now imagine that we are not executing this statement once, but rather are executing it repeatedly. This statement will never block execution. It will always immediately yield a result. Now let's modify that a bit. 66 a = (b or a) and not d 67 Note that we have replaced c with a. Now the value of a depends the previous value of a as well as b and d. However, once a becomes true, the value of b no longer matters because b is in an or condition with a. Now if we execute it over and over again, only d becoming true will make a go false. 68 This is a standard push button circuit, also known as a "seal in circuit", because it "seals" around the start condition. 69 b is the start push button with a normally open contact. d is the stop push button with a normally closed contact. a is a relay with one of its contacts being used to hold it on. 70 If you wired this up with actual push buttons and relays or if you programmed it into a PLC with ladder logic it would work the same way. A PLC program will consists of rung after rung of logic like this and executes it repeatedly scan after scan, only pausing to update its I/O. 71 Async Programming Some of you may be thinking that this cyclical scan sounds like the async programming that is all the rage with web server applications these days. Essentially it is exactly the same principle. 72 With async programming, your program must never use blocking instructions and execution proceeds on a repeated cycle. PLCs solve this by not having any instructions which block, and many PLCs do not allow backwards jumps. Tradesmen in coveralls in factories were doing async programming decades before the cool kids heard about it. 73 Most PLC Programming Languages are Visual or Graphical Languages If ladder, Sequential Function Chart, or Grafcet and Function Block Diagram sound like visual programming languages, they are. In fact ladder is probably one of the earliest visual languages in commercial use. Wikipedia defines a visual programming language as: 74 In computing, a visual programming language (visual programming system, VPL, or, VPS), also known as diagrammatic programming, graphical programming or block coding, is a programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually. A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation. For example, many VPLs are based on the idea of "boxes and arrows", where boxes or other screen objects are treated as entities, connected by arrows, lines or arcs which represent relations. VPLs are generally the basis of low-code development platforms. Scratch is an example of a VPL 75 End of quote. As you can see, what is cool today was on the factory floor more than 40 years ago. -------------------- 76 Popularity of PLC Programming Languages PLCs are about as proprietary as you can get. Pretty much every vendor has his own proprietary take on each language. How you can program any particular PLC is determined by that vendor's programming software. If the vendor doesn't support it, you can't use it. An individual vendor may even have multiple incompatible product lines which have to be programmed in different ways with different software, although that is not as common these days as it once was. 77 Nearly all PLCs support programming in Ladder. Some support programming in instruction list as well as ladder. Anything else is much less common. 78 Ladder logic happens to be on the Tiobe Index by the way. For those who have not heard of it, the Tiobe Index, that is T I O B E, is a web site that lists the popularity of numerous programming languages based on various criteria. 79 Number one on their list happens to be Python, currently at 19.98%. Number two is C, at 11.55%. 80 At the time of writing this script, Ladder Logic was at number 46 with a 0.28% rating, which put it just below Erlang and just above Haskell. I'm not sure whether that means that Ladder Logic is not as obscure as you thought it was, or whether it means that Erlang and Haskell are in fact more obscure than you thought they were. -------------------- 81 Episode Summary In this episode we covered we covered The early history of computers in industrial control The early history of PLCs, including how they got their name Who the major brands are What they look like physically 82 A basic description of the abstract machine architecture A very brief look at what a PLC program is like The scan concept The main PLC programming languages The minor PLC programming languages The relative popularity of each of the programming languages 83 In the next episode we will take a look at one of the early PLCs from the era when they began seeing widespread use. This PLC was hugely successful and was for many companies the first PLC they used. This is the Allen Bradley PLC2. 84 This has been the second episode in an 8 part series. -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What really happens in the final days and hours before we die? And why do so many dying people report seeing deceased loved ones and pets as death approaches?Julie Ryan sits down with certified End of Life Doula and death literacy educator Claire O'Berry for a revealing conversation about what families can expect as someone approaches the end of life—and why understanding the dying process may replace some of our deepest fears with greater peace.Claire walks Julie through her practical two-weeks-out, two-days-out, and two-hours-out framework, explaining the physical and emotional changes that can occur as the body begins its natural dying process. They explore what happens during the final hours, why dying may look very different from what families expect, and how knowing the signs can help loved ones feel less frightened and more prepared.They also dive into some of the most mysterious experiences surrounding death: terminal lucidity, the “death rally,” end-of-life visions, near-death experiences, and reports of dying people seeing deceased family members and beloved pets. Julie and Claire discuss research into these experiences and what they may suggest about consciousness, fear of death, and the possibility that we're not alone as we make the transition.Claire also explains what families often misunderstand about hospice and palliative care, when to begin preparing for the end of life, and why talking about death doesn't have to be frightening or morbid—it can help us live more intentionally while we're still here.Whether someone you love is approaching the end of life, you've witnessed something unexplained at a deathbed, or you've simply wondered what you might experience during your own final moments, this conversation offers a fascinating and reassuring look at one of life's greatest mysteries.Guest Biography:Claire O'Berry is a certified End of Life Doula, death literacy educator, international speaker, and host of the Dying Your Way podcast. Her journey into end-of-life care began in 2005, when she became the primary caregiver for both of her parents during the final six years of their lives, ultimately helping each of them experience a peaceful death at home surrounded by family and friends. Inspired to help others navigate this profound stage of life with greater knowledge and confidence, Claire pursued formal end-of-life training with pioneers Deanna Cochran, Suzanne O'Brien, and Patty Burgess. Today, she teaches individuals and families how to prepare for the end-of-life journey and hosts conversations with experts and individuals sharing personal experiences with death and dying. Claire holds an MBA from Pepperdine University and a B.S.Ed. from the University of North Texas, and is an Advance Care Planning Educator (ACPE), Certified End of Life Doula (CEOLD), and member of the National End of Life Doula Alliance (NEDA).Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) Meet End-of-Life Doula Claire O'Berry(0:02:19) What Really Happens in the Final Moments of Life?(0:04:51) Why Understanding Death Can Remove the Fear(0:14:47) Claire's Near-Death Experiences(0:21:46) Why Are We So Afraid to Die?(0:25:15) Do You Need to Believe in Spirit to See the Other Side?(0:31:52) Why Families Wait Too Long for Hospice(0:38:34) The Physical Signs That Death Is Near(0:56:42) What to Say to Someone Who Is Dying(1:03:00) The Death Rally: Why People Suddenly Get Better(1:05:15) What the Dying See Before Death(1:07:41) How Claire Became an End-of-Life Doula(1:13:13) If Death Is a Transition, Why Are We Here?➡️ Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️ Julie's Intuitive Trainings✏️ Ask Julie a Question!

Picture this: You're living your childhood dream, pitching in the major leagues, when suddenly your arm literally breaks mid-game. Former MLB Player Dan Winkler didn't just survive that moment-he turned it into his greatest comeback story. As a 20th round draft pick who shouldn't have made it according to the odds, Dan had already proven doubters wrong once. But nothing prepared him for the sound of his elbow shattering on live television, or the mental battle that followed. What he did next will completely shift how you think about resilience and reinvention.In this raw conversation, Dan reveals the exact mindset that carried him from that devastating injury to pitching 180 more games, and how he's now using those same principles to help business owners secure their financial futures. You'll hear the visualization techniques that still give him chills, the identity crisis that nearly broke him, and the surprising lesson about asking questions that transformed his entire approach to connecting with people. This isn't just a sports story-it's a masterclass in rebuilding yourself when everything falls apart.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week? The Podcast Growth Partner helps podcasters, guests, and podcast teams create stronger content, prepare smarter, and grow strategically.Start your free 3-day trial: PodcastGrowthPartner.comWant personalized podcast strategy support?

The Books of Samuel constitute one of the most sweeping, psychologically acute, and theologically profound epics in the biblical canon. Originally a single, continuous scroll, this two-part narrative charts the watershed transition of Israel from a fractured tribal confederacy into an established kingdom, laying the covenantal groundwork for the messianic hope that spans all of redemptive history. The Prophet and the Transition of Power The narrative bears the name of Samuel (שְׁמוּאֵל), whose name means "Heard of God" or "Name of God." Born in answer to Hannah's desperate prayer, Samuel bridges two distinct eras: he is the last of the Judges and the first of the great prophets to stand alongside the throne. Through his voice, the text frames the establishment of human monarchy not merely as a political evolution, but as a profound theological crisis. When the elders of Israel demand a king to be "like all the nations," Samuel warns them of the imperial tyranny that human rule inevitably brings. Yet, the LORD grants their request while subordinating the crown to the prophetic word, establishing that Israel's true Sovereign remains Yahweh alone. The Rise and Fall of Two Anointed Kings The drama unfolds along the stark contrast between two anointed leaders: Saul: The king chosen by outward stature and popular demand. Saul begins with military promise but descends into spiritual compromise, self-justification, and tragic paranoia, demonstrating the bankruptcy of a kingdom built on human autonomy. David: The youngest shepherd boy chosen for what lies within the heart. Anointed in obscurity, tested in the wilderness as a hunted exile, David ascends to unite the tribes and establish Jerusalem as the city of the Great King. Yet Samuel offers no sanitized hagiography. The text presents David in all his unvarnished complexity, capturing both the sublime heights of his devotion and the devastating catastrophe of his sin with Bathsheba, which fractures his family and his realm under divine judgment. The Song of Hannah and the Davidic Promise The theological engine of the entire narrative is announced at the very beginning in the Song of Hannah (1 Samuel 2). Hannah sings of a cosmic reversal: the LORD breaks the bows of the mighty, exalts the humble, and brings the proud down to Sheol. This theme of radical reversal culminates in the pivotal covenant of 2 Samuel 7. When David desires to build a house (a temple) for God, the LORD reverses the offer, promising instead to build David a "house" (an everlasting dynasty): "Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever." Here, amidst the shadows of Israel's early monarchy, the horizon expands toward the eternal King. The ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic line points past Solomon and the ruins of earthly Jerusalem to the true Son of David, King Jesus, whose kingdom knows no end, and who reigns not by coercion, but through the triumph of self-giving grace.

Under the luminous and dissolving light of the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Pisces, Therese Tucker channels a transmission from the Golden Circle Council of Sirius and the Arcturian Council of Light, one that arrives with both cosmic scope and profound tenderness.This session touched nearly every area of life that people are navigating right now. The Councils speak to the acceleration so many are feeling, the manifestation questions that keep surfacing, and something that made this particular circle feel especially sacred — questions about the souls who seem to be leaving physical form in greater numbers, and how to hold that with both grief and grace.What the Councils offered across all of these questions carried the same quiet thread running through it. And it is worth hearing for yourself.The session closes with a Night Garden visualization held within the energy of the transmission itself.✨ This transmission is an activation for anyone navigating acceleration, longing for something they love, or walking alongside someone whose journey is moving toward home.✨ Continue your spiritual journey with Therese Tucker:

This week, we have a conversation with Matthew Hasty. We discuss his military career, including his rise to the rank of warrant officer, his transition out of the military, and his subsequent political aspirations. Hasty emphasizes the importance of education and mentorship in military service and civilian life. He highlights the challenges of transitioning from military to civilian roles, the significance of local community involvement, and the need for statesmanship.We cover a lot of ground and talk some politics in this one, but I think it was a productive and enjoyable show. The Proximity Principle by Ken Coleman - https://store.ramseysolutions.com/business-and-career/books/the-proximity-principle?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1380373388&gbraid=0AAAAADHbtLdvGMp__2oips0WzWCpLJomY&gclid=CjwKCAjwj7HTBhBiEiwA8s35OreAHtkIurAbQgZ8uGddVL9YlHNX-I8xWkKm8T21bv0UhB6zwmsv2BoCLRsQAvD_BwEBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/philosophy-from-the-front-line--4319845/support.Disclaimer: The content of the "Philosophy From the Front Line" podcast is intended for informational and educational purposes only.

Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote welcomed on Matt Spiegel and Ryan McGuffey for the daily transition segment.

Most real estate investors spend decades building their portfolios. Very few have a plan for what happens when it's time to step back. Whether the goal is passing assets to family, bringing in a successor, or simply having choices later in life, succession is rarely just a financial question. The relationship dynamics, unspoken assumptions, and fear of hard conversations are what cause most transitions to fail. In this episode, Elizabeth Ledoux, founder of The Transition Strategists, breaks down why only about a third of businesses successfully transition to the next generation, what the other two-thirds get wrong, and how to build a transition roadmap that actually works for real estate investors and family business owners. About Elizabeth Ledoux Elizabeth Ledoux is the founder of The Transition Strategists and creator of the Transition 3.0 methodology. She has spent more than 30 years helping family and private business owners navigate succession, with a focus on the relationship challenges that cause most transitions to fail.

What We Cover in This Episode Why investors default to lawyers and CPAs first and what they miss by doing so Transition 1.0: building a secret succession plan that no one knows about until the owner dies Transition 2.0: telling people what will happen, but still top-down with no co-creation Transition 3.0: building the roadmap together, with the transitioner always as the driver Why strategies fail when people are not engaged: "Strategies don't work when people don't execute" The fear that keeps owners silent: what happens when you tell people you are thinking about leaving Why outside facilitators unlock conversations that families cannot have on their own The real reason a son said he wanted a job in the family business, and what he actually wanted A real estate disaster: how an undisclosed will nearly destroyed a mother-son relationship, required three separate valuations, and generated enormous legal bills A real estate success: how one developer's family divided a hotel, spa, senior living, and development portfolio equally among three children and built a functioning board together Why "people don't live up to your expectations, they only live up to their commitments" The Evolve program: a 12-month flat-rate roadmap process and what it covers When to start: why earlier is better and how Elizabeth ran her own succession roadmap years before she found her successor The hub model: how The Transition Strategists coordinates with your existing CPA and attorney without replacing them How to set up a board for a family-owned real estate business and why it is a practice, not just a structure What the 73-year-old single-family portfolio owner should do first Key Insight Elizabeth described a father who believed he had everything handled. His son was running the operating company. The will was prepared. In his mind, it was all set. When he died unexpectedly, his wife, who had never been involved in the business, took over out of fear. She was the primary owner and had no context for what the plan was supposed to be. The son had to sue his own mother to preserve the business. He won, and was able to buy her out. But the cost was three separate valuations at roughly $20,000 each, significant legal fees, and a family relationship that took years to partially repair. The father thought he was protecting everyone. What he was actually doing was protecting himself from a difficult conversation. Why This Episode Matters Real estate investors pour years into building portfolios but most have no transition plan that accounts for the human side. The legal and tax structures can be perfectly designed and still fail if the people involved have not agreed to their roles or do not understand the plan. Investors with family members, partners, or staff who will inherit, buy in, or step up need to start this process well before it is urgent. This episode gives a clear framework for doing that, with real examples from real estate families who got it right and families who did not.
