Continuing and finishing the skin structure and growth of the Stateboard Study Series. This is all part of the skin portion to help prepare you for the Stateboard licensing exam. Now here's the thing and I say this in my podcast, if you are in another state that does the NIC testing, or CIB this may be of some assistance to you for your written test at least. This should be used as an Aid to your studies. Some people learn from hearing (Audio) Learners, but I do encourage you to review your little exam book, as well as your text book, though this goes hand in hand with it. I'm using the latest version of the Milady Textbook, however, those of you who are learning from Pivot Point, the information is the same, just presented differently. With School, your studying sessions, along with this Podcast, you should be on the right track to getting your license. I hope this will help you, and please share with others who may be struggling with their test, or they are getting ready to test. Thank you so much, and stay tuned for Hair Removal next in the Stateboard Study Series of Ms. V's Real Beauty Talk, and check me out on YouTube as well Ms. V's Beauty Tutorials.

Okay.. our top story this week: XX A biotech company developing stem-cell treatments for type 1 diabetes has announced a new research partnership aimed at improving the survival of transplanted insulin-producing cells. NewcelX, a clinical-stage company based in Switzerland, said it will work with Eledon Pharmaceuticals to study a combination approach. The goal is to help transplanted cells survive longer in the body by reducing the immune response that often leads to transplant rejection. If successful, the strategy could support longer-lasting islet cell replacement and move the therapy closer to becoming a functional treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. However, the companies have not yet released any safety or effectiveness data on the combination treatment, and financial details of the partnership were not disclosed. The research agreement is focused on exploring whether combining stem-cell-derived islets with targeted immune therapy can lead to longer-lasting cell transplants and improved outcomes for people with type 1 diabetes. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/ELDN/newcel-x-announces-strategic-collaboration-with-eledon-d10l1vqdofls.html XX Debate this week in the UK on whether testing for type 1 diabetes should become mandatory when children present with symptoms. The Westminster Hall debate, scheduled for 9 March, will consider calls for routine testing of babies, toddlers and young children who show signs associated with the condition. It follows a petition backing the move, dubbed 'Lyla's Law', which passed 121,000 signatures in December 2025. The campaign was launched by John Story after his two-year-old daughter, Lyla, died from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) on 3 May 2025, 16 hours after being diagnosed with tonsillitis. https://www.nursinginpractice.com/clinical/diabetes-and-endocrinology/diabetes-community-urged-to-call-on-mps-to-attend-lylas-law-debate/ XX     A new study suggests that people with gestational diabetes who adjust their own insulin doses may reach healthy blood sugar levels faster than those whose doses are adjusted by clinicians. Half of the participants were assigned to adjust their own insulin doses using a simple rule: increase the dose by two units if fasting blood glucose was above 95 mg/dL, decrease it by two units if it dropped below 70 mg/dL, and keep the same dose if levels fell in between. The other half had their insulin adjusted by clinicians through weekly reviews. By the end of pregnancy, both groups had similar average fasting glucose levels before delivery: about 89 mg/dL in the patient-led group and 90 mg/dL in the clinician-led group. However, those adjusting their own insulin reached their blood sugar targets more quickly, averaging 1.8 weeks compared with 2.5 weeks for those managed by clinicians. The study also found lower risks of certain complications among the patient-led group. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/self-insulin-dosing-leads-control-gestational-diabetes-2026a1000729 XX   A blockbuster anti-obesity and diabetes drug could cost as little as $3 per month to manufacture once it goes off patent later this month, researchers said Friday, providing a major opportunity to boost health in low and middle-income countries.   Semaglutide, the active molecule in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy will lose patent protection in countries such as Brazil, China, and India later this month, and researchers identified 150 countries where it was never patented. These researchers estimated it will cost as little as $3 to produce a month's supply of semaglutide, which in its branded form sells for around $200 a month in the United States. Another of the study's authors, Professor Francois Venter at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, said drugs to treat HIV, TB, malaria, and hepatitis are now available at prices close to production costs but still sufficient for generic manufacturers to operate. https://www.sciencealert.com/weight-loss-drugs-could-cost-just-3-a-month-to-make-as-patents-end XX Here in the US the FDA is stepping up its efforts to combat widespread GLP-1 drug compounding. In its latest offensive, the agency has unleashed a fresh set of 30 warning letters targeting telehealth companies it says make "false or misleading" claims about compounded versions of popular obesity drugs. The FDA says Compounded drugs can be important for overcoming shortages or meeting unique patient needs—but compounders should not try to compound drugs in a way that circumvents FDA's approval process." https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/fda-ramps-crackdown-glp-1-drug-compounders-fresh-batch-30-warning-letters XX   Check your infusion sets for an issue: Unomedical, a subsidiary of Convatec and a supplier of insulin infusion sets to diabetes tech firms, has received a warning letter from the FDA. Inspectors raised concerns with leaking infusion sets, following a regulatory assessment of Unomedical's facility in Reynosa, Mexico, last summer. Unomedical supplies infusion sets to insulin pump makers including Medtronic, Tandem Diabetes Care and Beta Bionics. In a Feb. 3 statement, Convatec said the letter focuses on reporting procedures and quality protocols and does not place restrictions on producing, marketing or distributing any of Unomedical's products.  Unomedical told the FDA in its responses that it plans to conduct a retrospective review of complaints involving serious injury or death by January and conduct additional training on complaint handling by May.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-warns-insulin-infusion-set-maker-unomedical-over-leaks-mishandled-comp/813503/ XX Nearly four in ten people with type 2 diabetes do not take their medications as prescribed, according to a new research review published in Diabetologia in November 2025.   Researchers examined existing studies on medication adherence, including how often patients miss doses, why it happens, and what strategies may help. They estimated that about 38% of patients with type 2 diabetes are not fully adherent to their medications.   Adherence rates vary depending on the type of medication. About 63% to 68% of patients take oral glucose-lowering drugs as directed, while adherence drops to 43% to 54% for injectable GLP-1 medications and 41% to 64% for insulin.   Poor adherence can lead to serious consequences. One retrospective study cited in the review found that patients who consistently took their glucose-lowering medications had a 31% lower risk of hospitalization or emergency department visits.   The review also highlighted ways to improve adherence. Simplifying medication routines can help, such as using fixed-dose combination pills, which combine multiple drugs into a single tablet. Studies show these combinations are linked to better adherence and improved blood sugar control.   Pharmacists can also play an important role by providing education, reviewing medications, setting up reminders, and helping patients organize their treatment plans. The researchers noted that support should be tailored to each patient. Older adults may benefit from simpler systems and caregiver support, while younger patients may respond better to digital tools like app-based reminders.   The authors also found that measuring adherence is challenging and recommend using multiple methods, such as pharmacy records, patient interviews, and objective tests when possible.   Overall, the review concludes that personalized, multi-step approaches lasting at least three months are most effective in helping people with type 2 diabetes stay on track with their medications. https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/type-2-diabetes-medication-adherence-rates-remain-low-and-pharmacists-can-help XX New clinical trial shows metformin does not directly reverse insulin resistance in people with type 1 diabetes. Instead, it lowers the total amount of insulin required to keep blood glucose levels within the recommended range. The findings, published in Nature Communications, challenge long-held assumptions about how metformin works in type 1 diabetes. The results may help physicians refine treatment strategies and reduce the daily demands placed on people who rely solely on insulin therapy. "Insulin resistance is a growing problem in type 1 diabetes. Not only does it make regulating blood sugar levels difficult, but it is an underappreciated risk factor for heart disease, which is one of the biggest causes of health complications and deaths in those with type 1 diabetes," says Dr. Jennifer Snaith, endocrinologist and co-lead of the study.   https://scitechdaily.com/groundbreaking-trial-reveals-unexpected-benefit-of-metformin-in-type-1-diabetes/   Tech news ahead, including updates from Sensonics, Dexcom & Tandem.. right after this…. Back ot the wnews.. XX Sensonics shares that it's secured FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) for its self-powered, battery-enabled Gemini sensor. It enrolled the first patients in the IDE trial and expects to complete that in the second half of 2026. Gemini builds on the implanted CGM to put the transmitter under the skin as well as the sensor. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-q4-2025-ide-gemini-cgm/ XX Medtronic Diabetes is now officially MiniMid, a stand alone public company. Medtronic  acquired MiniMed 25 years ago announed last May that it would spin its diabetes business off. In their statement the company points out that MiniMed is the only diabetes tech company to sell both insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.   https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/medtronics-diabetes-unit-minimed-valued-at-53-billion-as-shares-fall-in-nasdaq-debut-4547518 XX Kevin Sayer heads back to Dexcom.. The former CEO is back in his position as executive chair of the Board, he'd stepped away for a medical leave. Dexcom (Nasdaq:DXCM) announced today in an SEC filing that former CEO Kevin Sayer has returned from his leave of absence. Sayer's return to the board comes just days after Dexcom announced a new board member. Last week, the company announced that it added Google SVP, Platforms and Devices, Rick Osterloh, to its board as well.     https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/kevin-sayer-returns-dexcom-board-chair/ SAN DIEGO - DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXCM) announced the appointment of Rick Osterloh to its Board of Directors, effective today, according to a press release statement.   Osterloh serves as Senior Vice President, Platforms & Devices at Google, where he oversees Android, Google Play, Chrome, and Google's hardware portfolio including Pixel phones, Google Nest devices, and Fitbit wearables. He has held this position since 2016.   https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/dexcom-appoints-google-executive-rick-osterloh-to-board-93CH-4529662 XX Sequel Med Tech announced broad national availability of its twiist™ Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System powered by Tidepool. After U.S. FDA clearance in 2024 and a controlled launch to optimize the twiist experience, the system is now fully available nationwide. The release says: Built on Sequel's proprietary iiSure™ Technology, the system enables earlier detection of delivery issues, alerting users to blockages up to nine times faster than other AID systems1, potentially reducing the risk of unexplained high glucose and giving you time to take action before experiencing severe high blood sugar or DKA2. Designed to expand access to automated insulin delivery, twiist is available through pharmacy channels with a flexible access model, XX Tandem Diabetes Care's Mobi automated insulin delivery system is now available with Android devices. In November, Tandem announced that it received FDA approval for the Android version of its Mobi mobile app. The pump, which pairs with Tandem's Control-IQ+ algorithm, previously worked with iOS software. At the time of the clearance, it said it would commence a limited rollout before the full launch — now underway — this year.   Tandem launched Mobi in the U.S. in February 2024. It initially received FDA clearance for people with diabetes ages six and up in July 2023. The system then received expanded clearance for pediatric indications in April 2024, then later won CE mark in May 2025.   Mobi features a 200-unit insulin cartridge and an on-pump button to provide an alternative to phone control for insulin boluses. It comes in at less than half the size of the flagship Tandem pump system, the t:slim X2 pump. Mobi can fit in a coin pocket, clip to clothing or go on the body with an adhesive sleeve. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-diabetes-care-launches-mobi-android/

The conflict in the Middle East is starting to have a significant impact on Australia's economy, given the fighting looks a long way from easing.The ASX has opened with a sharp sell off and is down more than three per cent.The oil price has surged alarmingly, more than 15 per cent, and is now $100 US a barrel for the first time in more than three and a half years.Petrol prices have been rising sharply across Australia causing people to panic buy and fill up jerry cans at the bowser.The situation is also worrying farmers who rely heavily on affordable fuel and fertiliser.This comes as Iran's state media reveals Mojtaba Khamenei will replace his father Ali Khamenei as the country's new supreme leader.It means hard-liners are still in control of Iran, and that's at odds with efforts from the US and Israel to bring about regime change.It's also raised questions about whether the US and Israel will assassinate Mojtaba, like his father.Pressure's on the Australian Government to try and find a solution to stop the potential persecution of the Iranian women's soccer team who are about to return home after the Asian Cup.The team's been playing matches in Australia but they didn't sing the national anthem during one of their games, prompting backlash from the hard-line regime.Aid groups warn players are in a difficult position because even if they are offered asylum, their families could face persecution back home.

In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, LawPod host Justine Van Essen speaks with Sonya McMullan, who has worked with Women's Aid for almost 30 years, combining frontline expertise with sustained policy advocacy to influence major legislative change in Northern Ireland.The episode explores how lived experience, frontline services, and strategic lobbying intersect to shape laws that protect victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. Sonya charts the evolution of Women's Aid's work: from the development of the first 24/7 domestic abuse helpline in the mid‑1990s, to the introduction of landmark legislation such as the Domestic Abuse and Civil Proceedings Act (NI), the Justice (Sexual Offences and Trafficking) Act, and the non-fatal strangulation offence.She also sheds light on persistent challenges: under-resourcing, gaps in police training, complex legislative delays, barriers to legal aid, and the urgent need for better protection orders. But the conversation also showcases promising developments including the Domestic Abuse Court pilot, new prevention programmes in schools, and initiatives supporting medical, nursing, social work, and law students to recognise and respond to domestic abuse.https://www.womensaidni.org/

This week we speak with Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet about the opportunities of the synodal process. We learn of the work of Aid to the Church in Need in Cuba and their Lenten Campaign, and we reconnect with singer/songwriter Lorraine Hess who has new singles and a new book.

Please take care while listening, and feel free to pause or step away if you need to.At fifteen, Naz Shah was forced into a marriage thousands of miles from home. Years earlier, she had been sent from Bradford to rural Pakistan, pulled out of school and dropped into a life that felt a world away from the one she had known.But the road that would eventually lead her to Westminster begins much earlier. It starts in a Bradford childhood shaped by poverty, upheaval and a mother trying desperately to hold her family together after being abandoned and left dangerously vulnerable.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Shah to explore the experiences that shaped her life. She recalls growing up amid instability, belongings packed into black bin liners, and the powerful expectations around honour and reputation that governed the choices available to women and girls.As the conversation unfolds, Naz reflects on the moment her childhood ended and the shock that followed her return to Britain. A family crisis would eventually lead to her mother being imprisoned for killing the man who had controlled and abused her for years, a truth that emerged only gradually and changed the course of Naz's life.This is a conversation about survival, silence and the weight of honour. How does a girl who left school at twelve find her way to Parliament?

Avocat devenu activiste, il dénonce la corruption au sommet de l'État russe et mobilise des milliers de citoyens autour de l'idée que la transparence et la justice peuvent triompher de l'autoritarisme. Mais son engagement attire l'attention de tout un système. Entre campagnes de diffamation, arrestations répétées et tentatives d'assassinat, Navalny devient la cible d'une machine de répression qui ne tolère aucune contestation. De sa lutte pour les élections locales à son empoisonnement en 2020, son parcours révèle les risques extrêmes de s'opposer à un pouvoir tout-puissant. Le combat continue Alexeï Navalny utilise la grève de la faim comme arme symbolique et tient grâce au soutien massif de ses partisans, obtenant enfin un examen médical après 24 jours. Depuis sa cellule, il prépare des coups médiatiques majeurs, dont le documentaire « NAVALNY », qui remporte un Oscar en 2023 et expose la corruption du Kremlin. Aidé par Bellingcat, il dévoile au téléphone les détails de son empoisonnement, filmant l'aveu de l'un de ses agresseurs. Malgré ces succès, son retour en Russie est marqué par l'arrestation et l'isolement, et il meurt en 2024 en Sibérie. Son combat n'était pas contre un homme, mais contre un État ; ses mémoires posthumes restent un appel à la vérité et à la résistance face au mensonge.

It's Wednesday, March 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Pray for the Middle East Please pray for Christians in the Middle East as tensions rise in the region. Christian communities, like those in Iran, are especially vulnerable during times of escalating violence. Regina Lynch with Aid to the Church in Need warned, “The longing for freedom and dignity among peoples in the region is legitimate. But the price of renewed war could be extremely high. Civilians always suffer most, and Christians are often among the most defenseless.”  U.S.-Iranian conflict might last four weeks U.S. President Donald Trump recently said the conflict with Iran may continue over the next four weeks. The United States and Israel carried out sweeping airstrikes against the country over the weekend. The American death toll in the conflict reached six troops as of Monday.  The U.S. State Department is urging Americans to leave over a dozen countries in the Middle East. Those include Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel.   Supreme Court rules against radical transgender policy The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against California's pro-transgender school policy on Monday. The policy allowed public school officials to keep the gender confusion of students from their parents. Worse than that, school officials even helped students “transition” without their parents knowledge.  Paul Jonna, Special Counsel at Thomas More Society, commented, “The Court's landmark . . . vindication of religious liberty . . . [sets] an historic precedent that will dismantle secret gender transition policies across the country.” The State of the Unborn: GOP should not leave fight to states The pro-life movement is continuing strong, but not without its challenges. That's according to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser in her “State of the Unborn” address.  Listen to her thoughts on why the fight for life must continue. DANNENFELSER: “Now consider the great battles the pro-life movement has won after over a half a century of struggle:  electing a pro-life president, confirming the Supreme Court justices who would reverse Roe v Wade with the Dobbs decision, and restore the right to uphold the 14th Amendment's equal protection promise in the law.  "The handcuffs are off. We are free to protect the human rights of people. We live in a fresh moment filled with hope for our children, and yet, there are now more abortions than before Dobbs -- at least 1.1 million a year.  "More than 60% of those deaths are caused by abortion drugs, and that's more than fentanyl, cocaine and heroin related deaths combined. Abortion is the number one cause of death in the United States of America.” Dannenfelser went on to challenge the Republican Party. She said, “The current GOP strategy of leaving this issue to the states clearly does not work. Twenty pro-life states can't even enforce their laws because of mail-order abortion drugs.” Proverbs 31:9 says, “Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Trump's Transportation Dept: No illegals allowed commercial licenses Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is imposing new rules in order for truckers to obtain a Commercial Driver's License. This comes as the Trump administration continues to fight illegal immigration, including within the trucking industry, where illegal drivers have killed a number of Americans. Duffy laid out his expectations for U.S. commercial drivers. DUFFY: “This is not politics that we're playing here. We can have a debate about whether Joe Biden had an open border or Donald Trump shut down and secured the border. That's a different debate. “The debate really is, ‘Do you want well-trained, well-qualified drivers behind the wheel of a big rig driving on American roads?' It's very simple. I think the answer is: Every single American, no matter what your political stripes are, doesn't are, that's exactly what you want. “That's what you would expect from the federal government and the state government. To a greater extent, I think we need our states to say, ‘Listen, we can be good partners.'” Truckers will now be required to take their Commercial Driver's License test in English. Plus, many states have worked hard with the federal government to take reckless truck drivers off the roads. YouVersion Bible app sees high engagement in Kenya, Nigeria, & South Africa And finally, the Bible app YouVersion launched its latest regional hub in Kenya last week.  The Bible app is seeing strong growth across countries in Africa. Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa rank among the top countries for daily Bible engagement, not just in Africa but also the world.  YouVersion CEO and founder Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International, “Some people have predicted that Africa would become the center of global Christianity. From what we're seeing, I think it already is.” Isaiah 11:9 says, “The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 4th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Send a textPotassium, Pain & A&EWelcome back to Who's Tom & Dick.Today's episode is a little different. It's personal. It's honest. And it's something so many people quietly go through but rarely talk about openly.This episode dives into potassium levels — what they mean, why they matter, and how a simple blood result can suddenly make you look at your health in a completely different way. When numbers start creeping up, questions start racing. Is it serious? Is it heart-related? Is it medication? Is it something more?But this isn't just about blood tests.It's about that dull ache on the right-hand side of your abdomen. The discomfort. The bloating. The worry that something isn't quite right. And the decision we've all faced at some point — “Do I ignore this… or do I go to A&E?”In this episode, we talk openly about a visit to the local A&E department, the examination process, the conversations with doctors, and hearing those three letters: IBS.We break down:• What potassium actually does in the body • Why levels can rise • When it becomes dangerous • How medications can influence it • The difference between anxiety and emergency • And what IBS really is — and isn'tMost importantly, this episode is about reassurance. About understanding your body. About asking questions. And about not suffering in silence.Because sometimes it's not just the physical pain — it's the uncertainty that weighs heavier.If you've ever stared at blood test results and Googled yourself into panic… this one's for you.Let's get into it.#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#IBS#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

For more than six decades, the U.S. has targeted Cuba with economic sanctions, blockades and campaigns to destabilize the Cuban government. Now, Trump's latest salvo toward Cuba is his January executive order that sanctions any nation that provides oil to Cuba. The result has led to severe consequences for the Cuban economy and is harshly affecting the daily life of Cuban citizens. Medea Benjamin has just returned from a humanitarian trip to Cuba. Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization, Global Exchange. She joins us on the podcast today.

Send a textSeasons 3 Episode 26Podcast Introduction – UK Stroke Support & Grants GuideWelcome back to Who's Tom & Dick — the show where we explore real stories, real challenges, and real solutions.In today's episode, we're focusing on something that affects thousands of people and families across the UK every year: life after stroke — and specifically, the financial support and practical help that can make all the difference on the road to recovery.Having a stroke isn't just a medical event — it often brings with it a whole new set of challenges. From adapting your home, to managing the costs of care, to navigating work and everyday life — many stroke survivors and their families find themselves asking: What help is out there? What support can I access? And how do I find it?In this episode, we're breaking down the key grants, benefits, and support schemes available in the UK to people affected by stroke, including:Personal Independence Payment (PIP) – financial support for extra living costs if you have long-term health conditions or disabilities.Attendance Allowance – for people aged over state pension age who need help with personal care.Carer's Allowance – supporting people who care for someone with substantial care needs.Employment Support – what help is available for returning to work or adapting your role after a stroke.Disabled Facilities Grant – for home adaptations like grab rails, stairlifts, wet rooms, and more.Blue Badge Scheme – parking support for people with mobility challenges.Council Tax Reductions and other local support options.We'll also highlight the organisations and advisory services that can help you apply for these benefits, understand eligibility, and take the stress out of the process — including charities like Stroke Association, Age UK, Citizens Advice, Disability Rights UK, and specialist local support services.Whether you're a stroke survivor, a family member, a carer, or someone who just wants to understand what support is out there — this episode is for you.We'll explain what each benefit does, who qualifies, how to apply, and where to get trusted advice — because navigating the system shouldn't add to your burden.Let's get into it.Personal Independence Payments (PIP) - https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-to-claimAttendance Allowance  - https://www.gov.uk/attendance-allowance/how-to-claim Blue Badge - https://www.gov.uk/apply-blue-badgeCouncil Tax Reduction - https://www.gov.uk/apply-council-tax-reductionStroke Association - https://www.stroke.org.uk/Citizens Advice - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

What do you do when your professional world turns upside down? Maybe it's burnout, harassment, a role abolished, or something else.  An identity shaken. Humanitarian workers are trained to carry other people's suffering. But what happens when we are the ones carrying something heavy? In Episode 67 of Embodying Change, Melissa Pitotti sits down with Silvia Risi, former humanitarian aid worker turned mental health peer supporter, to explore one powerful idea: recovery is learning how to carry what happened without letting it define or disable your life. After more than 16 years working in conflict and post-conflict contexts, Silvia reached a breaking point that led her to step away from the field. What followed was not an immediate reinvention. It was grief. Identity loss. Slowness. Reconstruction. This conversation explores what it means to pivot, not by erasing what happened, but by integrating it.In this episode, we explore:• Why losing a job can feel like losing yourself• The difference between therapy, coaching, and mental health peer support• What “Nothing about us without us” means in recovery work• Why peer support is horizontal and rooted in lived experience• How hope can be practiced, not just promised• Why "Pivoting Well" starts with grieving well• How humanitarian skills translate into unexpected new chaptersSilvia shares how reconnecting with her values, practicing daily self-kindness, and finding peers who understood the humanitarian context became central to her healing.Because sometimes the goal is not to "move on."Sometimes the goal is to learn how to carry what happened with strength, dignity, and support.About Silvia RisiSilvia Risi worked for over 16 years in humanitarian operations, primarily in conflict and post-conflict settings. Following burnout and workplace psychological harassment, she began a recovery journey that led her toward coaching, professional training in mental health peer support, and a new way of serving the humanitarian workforce.She is currently completing a university diploma in mental health peer support, and neurodiversity at Lyon University.Silvia now serves as a humanitarian mental health peer supporter with CoCreate Humanity, a Swiss association founded in 2019 to strengthen the psychosocial wellbeing of humanitarian workers and their families.About CoCreate HumanityCoCreate Humanity provides:• Multilingual, confidential humanitarian peer support (primarily online)• Advocacy and awareness through art and community events• Working toward professionalization and training in humanitarian peer supportPeer support at CoCreate Humanity is grounded in lived experience, structured training, and ongoing supervision from mental health professionals. It complements, but does not replace, professional mental health care.Learn more about their work or request support: www.cocreatehumanity.org Additional resources mentioned:●      WHO Europe Roadmap (2025): Transforming Mental Health Through Lived Experiencehttps://www.who.int/europe/publications/i/item/WHO-EURO-2025-12307-52079-79927●      Sarah Verrier's dissertation: Humanitarian Peer Support in Mental Health - A Link in the Chain of Psychosocial Support for Humanitarian Workers (available via CoCreate Humanity website)https://www.cocreatehumanity.org/memoires-final-dissertations  If this episode resonates… If you are navigating mental health challenges, burnout, restructuring, identity shifts, or a career pivot you do not have to carry it alone. Find a peer. Start a conversation. Give yourself permission to grieve what changed. And if this episode felt meaningful, consider sharing it with a colleague who might need to hear it. Because embodying change isn't about pretending nothing happened. It's about learning how to carry what happened together.

This podcast episode provides a comprehensive overview of the current weather conditions impacting various regions across the United States. The primary focus centers on the significant winter weather hazards affecting the upper Midwest and California, where winter storm warnings have been issued due to heavy snowfall and strong winds. Additionally, concerns about flooding and debris flows in Southern California are addressed, particularly in areas near recent burn scars. Notably, localized boil water advisories are highlighted in several states, including Florida, Georgia, and Virginia, due to water main breaks. As we navigate these pressing weather-related issues, it remains imperative to stay informed through official alerts and advisories.Takeaways:* The National Hurricane Center has reported no active tropical cyclones in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific regions.* Currently, winter weather dominates the narrative with significant impacts across the upper Midwest and West Coast.* California is facing substantial flood and winter weather challenges, particularly affecting Los Angeles and Ventura counties.* Florida is dealing with a water main break in Lehigh Acres, leading to a precautionary boil water advisory for residents.* Minnesota is currently under a winter storm warning due to adverse weather conditions that may hinder travel safety.* Virginia has issued a citywide boil water advisory in Danville, urging residents to utilize boiled or bottled water for consumption.Sources[NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=CAZ368&lat=33.9071&local_place1=Norwalk+CA&lon=-118.077&product1=Flash+Flood+Warning&warncounty=CAC037&warnzone=CAZ368][NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=LOX&wwa=winter%2520storm%2520warning][FGUA | https://www.fgua.com/outages_notices/water-main-break-boil-water-advisory-317-main-road-2-16-2026/][City of Fayetteville, GA | https://www.fayetteville-ga.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=752][NWS | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+storm+warning][City of Medford | https://www.medfordoregon.gov/News-Articles/Severe-Weather-Shelter-Open-in-Medford-Feb.-16-17][WTAE | https://www.wtae.com/article/shaler-township-police-residents-water-main-break-boil-advisory/70386197][WSET | https://wset.com/news/local/danville-virginia-issues-citywide-boil-water-advisory-february-2026] This is a public episode.

There is growing concern among young people about abusive behaviours in relationships. That's according to Women's Aid, who are today launching a campaign aimed at teaching young people what red flags they should be on the look out for. To hear all about the campaign Mary Hayes is the Coordinator of the “Too Into You” campaign joined Anton on the show.

It's Wednesday, February 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christians are leaving volatile Middle East The number of Christians in the Middle East is falling as religious freedom deteriorates in the region. Karmella Borashan of the Assyrian International Council addressed the International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, D.C. last week. She warned, “Christianity is fading from the Middle East and [Christians] are placed in the mercy of the perpetrators. Once we had 1.5 million Christians; now we have only less than 300,000 left.” Assyrian Christians, in particular, face persecution from Muslim Jihadists in Syria and Iraq. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” U.S. and Hungary partner to advance religious freedom Speaking of the Middle East, the United States and Hungary  signed an agreement last week to advance religious freedom in the region. The U.S. Department of State noted, “Christians are the most persecuted religious group worldwide, yet atrocities and attacks against them too often go unaddressed. Such persecution presents a threat to American security and undermines the values upon which our nation was built.” Hungary has already been supporting suffering believers for years through its office of Aid for Persecuted Christians. The new agreement is focused on aiding the church in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. More Gen Zers attending church in New Zealand Baptist churches in New Zealand are seeing increased interest from young people.  Gen Z has reportedly been leading a rise in church attendance in the West, known as the “quiet revival.” The 2025 Annual Report for the Baptist Churches of New Zealand noted similar findings for its young people. Youth attendance in these churches increased 24% between 2022 and 2024. And people under the age of 25 accounted for nearly 60% of baptisms reported.  Trump tosses Obama's global warming policy In the United States, the Trump administration is expected to repeal an Obama-era climate change policy this week. The policy is known as the Endangerment Finding. It claimed that greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, are a danger to public health. The finding has been the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions.  The Environmental Protection Agency plans to rescind the rule, making it “the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States.”  Is social media addictive to kids? Major social media companies are facing landmark trials this year for how their platforms affect children.  A case against Google-owned YouTube and Meta-owned Instagram begins this week. The companies face accusations that their platforms were designed to be addictive for kids.  The platforms TikTok and Snap were initially named in the lawsuit, but settled for undisclosed amounts.  Floridian Christian defended for objecting to pro-abort COVID shot Liberty Counsel recently filed an appeal on behalf of a Christian who lost his job for not getting the COVID-19 shot, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Christian Marin worked for Nemours Children's Hospital in Florida. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he refused to get the shot due to his pro-life beliefs. The hospital fired him in 2021. And the Florida Commission on Human Relations sided with the hospital in 2023. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Nemours [Hospital] violated Marin's religious protections and should be held accountable.” RFK partners with Christian recovery programs for addicts & homeless The Trump administration is welcoming faith-based organizations to participate in a new recovery program for drug addiction and homelessness. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the announcement last week at Prevention Day. It's the largest government-sponsored gathering dedicated to advancing the prevention of substance use. Listen to comments from Secretary Kennedy.  KENNEDY: “This is a chronic disease. It's a physical disease. It's a mental disease. It's an emotional disease. But, above all, it's a spiritual disease. And we need to recognize that faith-based organizations play a critical role, helping people re-establish their connections to community.” Grandfather recorded entire Bible on audio for grandkids And finally, a grandfather went viral since December for giving his grandchildren a recording of him reading the entire Bible for Christmas. It took the grandfather over a year to complete. A video of him sharing the gift got more than a million views across social media. The video was originally posted by Tiffany Shabazz. She said, “We shared one video of Grandpa giving us such a personal meaningful gift and now everyone wants a copy. I can't believe how many people this has reached. God is definitely in this story. … We are up to needing 118 copies for people all over the world.” Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Send us a textSeason 3 Episode 24In this deeply moving episode, Patrick is joined by Ian Trushell for one of the most open and honest conversations the podcast has ever hosted.Ian is living with stage 4 bowel cancer, and in this episode he speaks with extraordinary courage and clarity about his journey — from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment, the physical and emotional toll, and the reality of living with a life-limiting illness. Nothing is sugar-coated, but nothing is said without heart.Ian reflects on what it means to face his own mortality, the thoughts that come in quiet moments, and the strength he draws from his family and friends. He talks openly about fear, acceptance, resilience, and the small but powerful things that matter most when life is stripped back to its essentials.This is not just a story about illness — it's a conversation about love, connection, honesty, and dignity. Ian also shares thoughtful advice for others facing serious illness, for families supporting loved ones, and for anyone who may be avoiding that difficult conversation with themselves or others.It's raw, it's real, and at times it's incredibly emotional — but it's also uplifting, grounding, and full of humanity.

Send us a textWhat actually happens between mile 48 and mile 100, when your brain is tired, your stomach is bored of sugar, and the trail turns to cambered sand and black mud? We sat down with sisters Lyndsi and Kendell to unpack their first 100 miler at the Wolverine 100—how they trained, why they split mid-race, and the small choices that kept them moving when comfort vanished.We trace the leap from “maybe I could” to toeing the line: a postpartum return to running, a DNF that lit a fire, and a training approach built around consistency, fueling practice, and hiking early on the big climbs. You'll hear how they selected a point-to-point course for the mental boost, why generous cutoffs matter for first-timers, and how conservative pacing turned into late-race passes. Then we get into the real trail: the notorious dirt bike section with sand and mud that humbled everyone, the log bridge wobble, and that surreal late-night stretch where mailbox reflectors looked like eyes and coyotes sounded like a cheering crowd.The turning point arrives with pacers. Fresh legs and fresher minds brought structure—fuel every 30 minutes, short run-walk intervals, clear cues, and relentless encouragement. Aid stations became more than calories: a fruit cup that tasted like salvation, warm broth when sweets failed, and a disco stop that reset spirits. Family support threaded the day together—refills, tape, caffeine, and honest feedback. By mile 90, they were still running, still solving problems, and still discovering that the body goes farther than doubt allows. Finishing fourth and fifth female on debut wasn't the point; it was the proof. They crossed the line with a new baseline for hard, and a simple message for anyone on the fence: start before you feel ready, keep it simple, and let consistency carry you.If you're curious about ultramarathon strategy, fueling, pacers, and the mindset that turns discomfort into momentum, this one's your map.

Airey Bros Radio – Episode 431 is a deep-dive on the real mechanics of modern college recruiting — not highlight reels and slogans, but the communication systems that shape commitments, retention, transfers, and culture.We're joined by Dan Tudor, founder of Tudor Collegiate Strategies and host of the College Recruiting Weekly Podcast, after a recommendation from Coach Steve Delgado (SWOCC Cross Country & Track). Dan has spent 20+ years helping college coaches and athletic departments build recruiting messaging that actually works — emails, letters, texts, phone calls, campus visits, and the “what happens next” process that recruits (and families) crave.In this episode, we break down:Why most coaches were never trained to recruit (and why recruiting is really sales + storytelling)The biggest recruiting mistake: coaches recruiting athletes the way they were recruitedWhy email is #1 for athletes (yes — in 2026)How to write a first message that feels real, personal, and response-worthyWhy letters are more powerful than ever (and how they influence families + decision-making)How to stay consistent without sounding like a used car salesmanWhy D3 can be a better financial deal than people think (academic aid, grants, packaging)Transfer portal recruiting: why it's more business decision than emotional decisionHow better communication reduces transfers and increases buy-in

On Christmas Day 2006, police in Phoenix, Arizona, entered a quiet home expecting a simple welfare check. Instead, they found 21-year-old Heather Quan deceased, and 18-year-old Ryan Waller barely alive, suffering from a gunshot wound that went unnoticed at first. What followed changed the course of multiple lives, reshaped an Arizona law, and left two families searching for understanding in the aftermath of unimaginable violence.A video version of this episode is available on YouTube and SpotifyHow to support:For extra perks including exclusive content, early release, and ad-free episodes -Go to - PatreonHow to connect:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterTheme and Closing Track:Original compositions created for The Minds of MadnessPlease check out our sponsors and help support the podcast:Nutrafol - Start your hair growth journey with Nutrafol.

This episode continues our collaboration with Hothouse: The Future of Demonstration, a renegade lab for democracy convened in Vienna, and extends our ongoing inquiry into artificial intelligence, power, and what it means to be human under algorithmic governance.Recorded last autumn and released amid a so-called ceasefire in Gaza, this conversation confronts the accelerating use of AI in contemporary warfare and policing, where automation does not necessarily produce precision, but rather enables mass violence, deniability, and narrative control. Our guest, Júlia Nueno Guitart, engineer, researcher, and core member of Forensic Architecture, discusses the organization's investigations into Israel's military campaign in Gaza, including projects such as Cartography of the Genocide, The Architecture of Genocidal Starvation, and analyses of AI-driven targeting systems like Lavender and “Where's Daddy.”Together, we unpack how these systems collapse civilian life into probabilistic models, violate the principles of distinction and proportionality under international law, and reframe killing as a statistical inevitability. The conversation also explores investigative aesthetics and counter-forensics: methods that assemble fragments (satellite imagery, testimonies, spatial models, sensor data) into material evidence when states and corporations control official archives. We discuss how Forensic Architecture navigates courts, museums, open platforms, and public discourse, and how truth today must be staged as a transparent, collective process rather than a claim of institutional objectivity.Moving beyond warfare, the episode considers AI as both a tool of domination and a potential instrument for resistance, from documenting state violence to worker-led experiments in platform sabotage and collective agency. Across these terrains, we ask how evidence can still matter amid institutional failure, how violence becomes infrastructural, and how democracy might be rethought when power is increasingly automated.Links:Forensic Architecutre: A Cartography of GenocideForensic Architecture: Investigation into Aid in Gaza (The Architecture of Genocidal Starvation)Forensic Architecture in ArtforumInvestigative Aesthetics: Conflicts and Commons in the Politics of Truth by Matthew Fuller and Eyal Weizman Júlia's in Verso: The Target FactoryForensis: The Architecture of Public TruthMore context:SETA report on AI-assisted warfare in GazaThe Guardian and 404 Media on ICE and tech partnerships in the US

This episode examines what happens when strategy is applied in environments where institutional stability, reliable data, and conventional partners cannot be assumed. Former McKinsey partner and University of Notre Dame Professor Emerita Viva Ona Bartkus draws on decades of experience across management consulting, academic research, and frontline fieldwork in conflict-affected regions to explain why many standard strategy doctrines collapse outside developed markets. Bartkus reflects on her path through McKinsey, including what truly determines advancement inside elite professional services firms. She argues that early career performance is less about isolated brilliance and more about establishing trust, judgment, and reliability in the first months, when reputations are formed and remembered long after individual mistakes are forgiven. The conversation then turns to "frontline environments," defined as regions typically far from international hubs, under-invested, and operating with weak formal institutions. Bartkus outlines why these areas, often ignored during recent decades of globalization, represent substantial economic opportunity when approached with rigor rather than optimism. She explains why traditional international expansion models, particularly reliance on single local partners, can introduce severe strategic and ethical risk. Using concrete examples from Lebanon, West Africa, and rural Colombia, she details how broad-based partnerships, careful sequencing of investment, and disciplined listening are prerequisites for sustainable commercial activity. The discussion also addresses failure directly. Bartkus notes that more than half of frontline initiatives do not meet their objectives and explains how those failures sharpened her views on data verification, assumption testing, and understanding local motivations rather than projecting external logic. The episode concludes with a broader argument on the role of business in post-conflict recovery. Aid and humanitarian efforts matter, but without durable economic activity and the dignity of work, recovery stalls.

The discussions are heartfelt, sometimes emotional, and often uplifting, just as Martin would have wanted.This is a conversation about loss, but it's also about legacy. About how the podcast began, how those early episodes set the tone, and how Martin's voice, humour, and curiosity helped shape Who's Tom & Dick into what it became.There are smiles, stories, and a few difficult moments — but it's a fitting tribute to a man who loved a good chat and believed in the power of conversation.This one's for Martin.

Send us a textSeason 3 Episode 21A Story of Strength, Honesty, and HopeIn this deeply moving episode, Patrick sits down with Jenny Beards to share her extraordinary journey through breast cancer — from diagnosis to treatment, and everything in between. With openness, courage, and remarkable honesty, Jenny talks us through the moment her world changed, the decisions she faced, and the reality of navigating chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and ultimately a double mastectomy.This is not a sugar-coated story. Jenny speaks candidly about the fear, the physical toll, the emotional lows, and the moments when everything felt overwhelming. But alongside the hard days are stories of resilience, humour, compassion, and the incredible care she received from medical professionals who helped carry her through the toughest chapters.Just as powerfully, Jenny reflects on what comes after — finding strength she never knew she had, rebuilding confidence, and emerging on the other side with a renewed perspective on life. Her journey is one of survival, gratitude, and quiet determination, offering reassurance and hope to anyone facing cancer themselves, supporting a loved one, or wanting to better understand the reality behind the diagnosis.This episode is honest, emotional, and ultimately uplifting — a testament to the human spirit, the importance of early awareness, and the life-changing impact of excellent treatment and support.

Send us a textSeason 3 Episode 20Today's podcast is a rather sombre one, as we come together to celebrate the life and times of my old mate, dear friend, and colleague Martin Weavers — the much-loved co-host of Who's Tom & Dick. Martin sadly lost his battle with Stage 4 lung cancer earlier this week, surrounded by his family, listening to his famous tunes — and yes, it did include the Bay City Rollers. Martin and I knew each other for well over 30 years and formed a partnership filled with incredible chemistry and laughter. Together on the podcast, we shared not only stories and insights into health, illness, and resilience, but also the joy of everyday life — news, music, hobbies, and the kind of banter only old friends can deliver. Martin brought his unique voice, humour, and spirit to every episode, bravely speaking about his own journey with Stage 4 lung cancer as he fought with courage, honesty, and that unmistakable glint in his eye. His passion for good music — especially the classics — endeared him to listeners, and his ability to find laughter even in hard times defined the very soul of our show. Today we honour not just a brilliant co-host, but a true friend who made every moment richer for those who knew him.As Martin always said "Turn that Frown upside down"R.I.P dear Martin xx#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent was Newman's most difficult work. While not a formal epistemology (theory of knowledge), Newman prompted a movement away from modern epistemology, stressing certainty that is best found in logic and mathematics, to common sense epistemology, affirming truth that is not absolutely certain. Bishop Barron explains why this epistemology is proper to religious knowledge, which includes notional and real assent.   Topics Covered: Why assent is not certitude  Religious Liberalism  Notional and Real Assent  Conscience  Links: Article: A Meditation on the Grammar of Assent Video: Dr. Reinhard Huetter on Newman Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/   NOTE: Do you like this podcast?

Scott and Jenny review the newly released 2026 ADA Standards of Care, praising key updates like hospital safety protocols while critiquing the "slow drift" of official guidance compared to real-world management. Topics Discussed: The "Slow Drift" of Guidance: Scott analyzes how standards often lag behind effective real-world management, comparing current advice to guidelines from 2018 and 2022. GLP-1s for Type 1: The new guidance explicitly lists GLP-1 receptor agonists as a treatment option for obesity in people with Type 1 diabetes. Technology Access: The requirement for C-Peptide levels or antibody presence has been removed for initiating insulin pumps or AID systems. Hospital Safety: A crucial new standard mandates that basal insulin should never be held for patients with Type 1 diabetes in the hospital. Workplace Advocacy: New language supports reasonable accommodations for adults using diabetes technology (pumps/CGMs) in the workplace. Cannabis Warning: The standards include a new specific warning against cannabis use for those at risk of DKA due to concerns about "cannabis hyperemesis syndrome".
