In part one of this four-part series, Casey Kozak breaks down tremors observed during the physical examination of FND.  Show transcript:  Casey Kozak: Welcome back to Neurology Minute. This is Casey Kozak with Rutgers, and today we'll be discussing a very important and evolving topic, that is Functional Neurological Disorder, or FND. If you're a regular fan of the Minute, you'll have already heard a great miniseries on FND by Jon Stone and Gabriela Gilmour, which focuses on diagnosis and treatment. If you haven't listened yet, I encourage you to check it out. In this series, we're going to focus in on physical exam findings associated with FND to help you excel on the floors. Talking about the physical exam, it's important to keep in mind that FND looks different for every patient. However, some general characteristics of symptoms may include inconsistency, variability, selectivity of impairment, meaning mismatch of impairment with different tasks, distractibility, suggestibility, and incongruence with symptoms seen in other neurological disorders. Since tremors are one of the most common presentations of FND, we'll start there. Even while taking their history, you may notice features consistent with FND. And in fact, this is a great time to make natural observations of the patient and their symptoms. Unlike tremors associated with degenerative movement disorders like Parkinson's, functional tremors may exhibit variability of frequency and amplitude, especially during periods of shifted attention. You can further evaluate the tremor using the entrainment test. To perform the entrainment test, ask the patient to make a tapping motion. As the patient taps, look for a change in frequency in their tremor. The frequency of the tremor may begin to match the frequency of the patient's tapping. Any change in the tremor while the patient is tapping is considered a positive finding. Alternatively, you can also test the whack-a-mole sign. To elicit the whack-a-mole sign, the examiner holds down the tremulous body part while looking for the emergence of a tremor in a different body part. This finding is consistent with a functional tremor, as tremors related to neurodegenerative diseases do not jump limbs. Let's break now to practice. Join us again for our next episode where we will turn to functional weakness. See you then.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  Parody month concludes with Keleigh's mandated movie: DON'T BE A MENACE TO SOUTH CENTRAL WHILE DRINKING YOUR JUICE IN THE HOOD.  Now, I know what you're thinking.  It was called "Menace II Society" so shouldn't the title be "Don't Be a Menace II South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood"? Yes but I think we can cut the Wayans Bros. some slack for this oversite due to the restraint they showed with their film's title by name dropping "Higher Learning," "Poetic Justice," and "Jungle Fever" in the film's tagline rather than jamming them in the title as well. 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 21:02 - Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood review 56:56 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to manage login items on macOS.If there are certain apps or files that you always want open, you can configure them to open automatically when logging into your Mac. To do this, go to System Settings > General > Login items & Extensions, click Add, and select the item in the open dialog. To delete a login item, select it in the table and click Remove. Alternatively, items in the Dock can be added as login items by selecting them and choosing "open at login" from the "options" submenu in the item's context menu (accessed by pressing VO-Shift-M); uncheck this option to remove it.In addition to login items, Login items & Extensions Settings allows you to manage background items, processes that run even if the app is not open in order to complete certain tasks or respond to changing conditions, such as checking for and installing updates. If there are certain apps you don't want to be able to run background processes, for example, if they're utilizing a disproportionate amount of system resources, you can toggle them off under the "App background activity" heading; however, keep in mind that disabling an app's background processes may cause the app to not work as expected, so you may wish to perform additional research before doing so to determine those processes' functions. If, after uninstalling an app, its background items still appear in this list, you may need to manually delete the files that the app deposited, which can typically be found in the "Launch Agents" folders, one of which is in your user Library folder (~/library) and the other in the Library folder at the root of your startup disk (/library), as well as the "Launch Daemons" folder in the Library folder at the root of your startup disk.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Tyler: Hey AppleVissers, Tyler here with a quick tip for how to manage login items on macOS. Login items, as the name suggests, are items like apps or files that open automatically when logging into your Mac. This may be useful if you, for example, have apps that you use constantly or always want open. So even if you restarted your Mac, those apps would be open and ready for you to use. While this feature may be convenient, the more items you have configured to open automatically might slow the boot process or login process. In addition, some apps insert themselves as login items or background items, which I'll explain later. And depending on your preference and use case, you may not want certain apps opening every time you log in. So in this tutorial, I'll demonstrate how to manage this. To do that, you'd go into System Settings, General, Login Items and Extensions. I'll demonstrate that now on my Mac.VoiceOver: Menu bar, Apple app system settings, ellipsis, Dropbox, alias, system, window, sidebar, table. Row 10 of 37, general, selected.Tyler: Okay.

Guest Spotlight  Today's episode features a conversation between Crosspoint host Josh Jackson and LTC Brittany Simmons, USA (Ret.). Brittany served 20 years in the Army Military Police Corps, including deployment to Iraq as a platoon leader from 2004-2005.  In this episode, Brittany challenges the common individualistic reading of the Armor of God passage in Ephesians 6. Drawing from her combat experience and understanding of Roman military formations, she explains why Paul's analogy was always meant to be understood not only individually, but also collectively—as a unit linking shields together, not isolated soldiers fighting alone.   She discusses finding battle buddies, the danger of spiritual isolation, and practical ways to intentionally build Christian community whether you're actively serving, recently relocated, or settled in one place.   Brittany also mentions two upcoming events, which women can attend for Biblical teaching, fellowship, and more:  OCF Leading Women: 20-22 March at White Sulphur Springs in Manns Choice, Pa.  Summer Celebration #4B (Women's Track): 28 June-3 July at Spring Canyon in Buena Vista, Colo.  If you would like to share your own story, complete the form on OCF's "Be a Guest" webpage. Alternatively, if you have an idea for a guest or topic we should consider for a future episode of the show, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org.    Points to ponder  As you listen to this conversation with Brittany, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor:  When you read Ephesians 6:10-18, do you naturally think of individual armor or collective defense? Why?  Who are the "battle buddies" in your spiritual life right now—people you're intentionally linking shields with?  Brittany mentions that in combat, soldiers who go off alone become the most vulnerable. Where in your spiritual life might you be trying to fight alone?  How does understanding prayer as "communication with the Commander" change the way you approach it—both individually and collectively?  What's one practical step you could take this week to find or deepen community with other believers?  How might your military experience give you unique insight to share with civilian Christians about the power of working together?    Ministry News  Read others' stories about impactful Conference Center visits: If you're considering a family retreat, ministry gathering, or just need to step away and breathe, check out stories from those who have enjoyed the same at OCF's Conference Centers.  Listen to OCF's newest podcast: Anchored & Armed, hosted by Mackenzie and Naomi, will feature authentic, relatable conversations about military life for women in uniform or women who love someone in uniform. Be sure to subscribe to keep up with their new episodes.    Register for one of four upcoming regional retreats for ROTC cadets and midshipmen:  Eastern ROTC OCF/Valor/Navs Retreat: 6-8 February at White Sulphur Springs in Manns Choice, Pa.  Rocky Mountain ROTC Spiritual Fitness Retreat: 13-15 February at Spring Canyon in Buena Vista, Colo.  Midwest All-Service ROTC Retreat: 13-15 February at Riverside Bible Camp in Story City, Iowa  Southern California ROTC Retreat: 20-22 February at Owl Creek Farms in Temecula, Calif.

Laurel Ridge Community College isn't just accepting applications—it's actively dismantling the barriers that keep people from pursuing their educational dreams. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Guy Curtis, the college's Director of Marketing, and Brandy Hawkins Boies, Director of PR and Special Events, to explore how accessible higher education has become in the Shenandoah Valley. The conversation reveals a striking truth: whether you're a high school junior, a parent returning to the workforce, a professional seeking advancement, or even a retiree looking for a new challenge, Laurel Ridge has carved out a space for you. Moreover, the college has systematically addressed the most common objections that prevent people from walking through their doors. No Prerequisites, No Judgment "You literally have to know nothing about college to get started," Brandy emphasizes, addressing one of the most pervasive fears potential students harbor. She encourages prospective students to ignore the academic jargon and forget about needing to sound scholarly. Instead, the college meets people exactly where they are. Throughout her tenure at Laurel Ridge, Brandy has witnessed an extraordinary range of students succeed. "I've seen valedictorians graduate from high school and come here to Laurel Ridge," she explains. "We've also seen individuals that have been through unimaginable struggles in their life—maybe they took a wrong turn or maybe life just was very unkind to them." The common thread? Once these individuals found the courage to walk through the door, the college took their hand and guided them toward success. Furthermore, age presents no barrier whatsoever. The college serves everyone from dual-enrolled high schoolers to graduates in their eighties. As Brandy notes, "There is no age limit here at Laurel Ridge at all." Pathways That Make Sense Guy Curtis highlights one of the college's most valuable features: its pathway system. Rather than forcing students to commit to a specific career before they're ready, Laurel Ridge offers structured pathways that help students explore their options while making progress toward a credential. These pathways align with in-demand careers in the region, ensuring that graduates find relevant employment opportunities. Additionally, the programs remain "future-proof" in an era of rapid technological change. Guy points to healthcare, IT, skilled trades, advanced manufacturing, engineering, and education as fields where Laurel Ridge prepares students for long-term, rewarding careers with meaningful wages. For traditional students planning to transfer to a four-year institution, Laurel Ridge provides an ideal starting point. However, the college equally serves those seeking quick certifications to re-enter the workforce or gain a promotion. This flexibility allows the institution to meet diverse needs within a single community. The Financial Reality: Surprisingly Affordable When Janet raises the inevitable question about cost, Guy delivers encouraging news. Laurel Ridge charges approximately one-third the price of most four-year institutions. Beyond this baseline affordability, however, numerous funding sources make education even more accessible. Multiple Funding Streams The college helps students navigate a complex landscape of financial support, including: Federal financial aid provides the foundation for many students. Meanwhile, G3 tuition assistance targets high-demand fields like healthcare, IT, education, engineering, and public service, helping Virginians pursue careers that employers desperately need to fill. Although Fast Forward funding has faced reduced state support due to its popularity, local entities have stepped up to fill the gap. The Winchester Economic Development Authority now offers scholarships for city residents, while the Frederick County Economic Development Authority contributes additional funding. Other sources include the Hazel Family Fund, the Building the Future Fund, and various locality scholarships throughout the region. Remarkably, families of four earning up to $128,000 annually—400% of the poverty rate—typically qualify for classes at no cost through G3 and other funding sources. Guy emphasizes that many eligible students never come forward because they assume they won't qualify. "Asking for someone to help you navigate those options is the first big step," he advises. The Dual Enrollment Advantage High school students gain an even more compelling opportunity. Juniors and seniors can earn their first 30 credits at no charge through dual enrollment. This head start not only saves money but also accelerates degree completion. Guy explains the strategic advantage: "If you get those 15 credits to start with at no cost within your high school, but look to move to a degree or applied program at the college, you're already off on a great starting point." Students graduate high school with college credits already completed, positioning themselves to finish an associate's degree quickly and affordably. The Two-Year Degree Advantage Janet recalls a conversation with Jeff Sinclair, a veteran who attended Laurel Ridge before transferring to Shenandoah University's pharmacy program. His insight resonated deeply: students who start at a four-year institution and leave after two years walk away with education but no credential. In contrast, Laurel Ridge students earn an associate's degree after two years, providing a tangible qualification and a foundation for future advancement. Brandy's daughter exemplifies this pathway. After taking dual enrollment classes in high school, she completed her associate's degree at Laurel Ridge in just one additional year for under $5,000. Now pursuing her bachelor's degree online through Old Dominion University, the family appreciates having only two years of four-year tuition bills rather than four. Additionally, Brandy emphasizes a crucial fact: college credits never expire. A potential student who took classes in the 1980s still retains those credits, which can be applied toward current degree requirements. This permanence means that education remains an asset throughout one's entire life. Flexibility for Real Lives Recognizing that students juggle multiple responsibilities, Laurel Ridge offers extensive scheduling flexibility. The college provides online programs in business administration, computer science, education, general studies, liberal arts, social justice, and numerous other fields. These fully online options appeal to today's students, who increasingly prefer remote learning. For programs requiring hands-on experience, hybrid formats blend online coursework with in-person sessions. Students might meet on campus once weekly while completing the remaining work online. This approach proves particularly effective in skilled trades programs, where students combine bookwork at home with hands-on learning in the classroom, actually speeding up program completion. Evening and weekend options accommodate working professionals. Janet mentions the CDL program specifically, which offers classes during non-traditional hours to fit around work schedules. Whether you're a stay-at-home parent who can only study after the kids are in bed or a full-time employee seeking advancement, Laurel Ridge structures programs around your life. Comprehensive Support Services Beyond academics and affordability, Laurel Ridge has built what Brandy calls "a remarkable support community." These services address the real-world challenges that can derail educational goals. The Cub House This kid-friendly space opened last year, providing a solution for student parents. While not a daycare—parents must remain with their children—the Cub House offers a place where kids can play while parents study, meet with professors, or work on group projects. This simple accommodation removes a significant barrier for parents pursuing education. Food Pantry and Basic Needs Located in Cornerstone Hall on the Middletown campus, the food pantry stocks food, hygiene products, and clothing. Importantly, students face no questions or paperwork requirements. If you need food, you simply take it. This no-barrier approach ensures that basic needs don't prevent academic success. TRIO Program This federally funded program serves first-generation college students, low-income students, and students with disabilities. If you qualify for any one of these three categories, you can access additional support services designed to help you succeed. Free Tutoring Brandy shares a secret: "The A+ students, their secret is they got help, they got tutoring. They weren't ashamed to ask." The college provides free tutoring services, recognizing that seeking help demonstrates strength, not weakness. Furthermore, the college hires students as tutors, creating employment opportunities while supporting academic success. Social Work Services A full-time social worker now serves on campus, connecting students with community resources. Whatever obstacle you face—housing insecurity, transportation challenges, childcare needs, or other life circumstances—the social worker helps you find solutions. As Brandy explains, "Our main goal is to help get you to your goal of walking across the stage with your degree." Career Coaches in Every High School For high school students and their parents, career coaches stationed in guidance offices provide the first point of contact. These Laurel Ridge employees offer unbiased guidance about all college options, not just Laurel Ridge programs. They help students explore interests and potential career paths, making the transition from high school to college less daunting. Professional Development and Workforce Solutions Laurel Ridge extends beyond traditional degree programs to serve working professionals and employers. The Continuing Education and Professional Development division offers courses ranging from four-hour workshops to longer online programs. These options help individuals upskill for promotions or learn new competencies like AI literacy. Corporate training programs allow employers to develop their workforce. Companies can send employees to leadership courses or specialized training, keeping teams engaged and informed about best practices and emerging technologies. Guy highlights the new AI Immersive Tech program, a six-month certification course that equips students with AI technology, data tools, and digital skills. Looking ahead, the college will host the Laurel Ridge AI Summit on April 1st from 8:00 AM to noon, showcasing AI resources for both individuals and employers seeking to enhance their workforce capabilities. Getting Started: Simpler Than You Think Despite all these opportunities, the first step remains remarkably simple. You can walk into any campus—Middletown, the Fauquier campus in Warrenton, or the Page Center in Luray—and someone will help you. Alternatively, you can call or visit the website at laurelridge.edu. The Career Coach Site For those hesitant to make initial contact, Guy recommends starting with the Career Coach site, accessible from the homepage under "Explore Careers." This free resource allows you to browse in-demand careers in the region, marked with flame emojis for the hottest opportunities. You can take skill assessments—ranging from six to sixty questions—to identify careers that align with your interests and abilities. The site also displays real job openings from local employers like Valley Health, showing actual positions, required qualifications, and salary ranges. You can even drop a pin on specific locations—Luray, Warrenton, or even Washington, DC—to see opportunities in your preferred area. Employers can post jobs at no cost, connecting directly with students and community members exploring career options. Information Sessions and Tours Brandy's outreach team regularly hosts information sessions, both online and in person. The college also conducts open houses for specific programs, giving prospective students detailed insights into particular fields. You can schedule a guided tour or simply show up for a self-guided walk through the facilities. As Janet jokes, you might even run into President Kim Blaiser wandering the halls, ready to point you in the right direction. Guy confirms this welcoming culture: "Everyone in the college has that kind of heart of service. Regardless of who you are, whether you're maintenance or the president, they're gonna show you where you are and where you need to go." A New Year, A New You As Guy emphasizes, the new year presents the perfect opportunity for transformation—whether that means becoming a new you, a new employee, or simply a more skilled version of yourself. The first step involves reaching out and talking to someone at the college. Laurel Ridge has systematically addressed the barriers that keep people from pursuing education: cost, scheduling conflicts, lack of support services, uncertainty about career paths, and fear of not being "college material." By removing these obstacles, the college has created an environment where success becomes not just possible but probable. The stories Brandy and Guy share—from valedictorians to individuals overcoming tremendous hardships, from teenagers to octogenarians—demonstrate that Laurel Ridge truly serves all walks of life. The common denominator isn't prior achievement or perfect circumstances. Instead, it's simply the courage to walk through the door and say, "I want something better." From that moment forward, Laurel Ridge takes your hand and guides you toward your goal. With affordable tuition, flexible scheduling, comprehensive support services, and programs aligned with real career opportunities, the college has created a pathway to success that works for virtually anyone willing to take that first step. The question isn't whether Laurel Ridge can work for you. The evidence suggests it can. The real question is: what are you waiting for?

Gogmazios is a pussycat in comparison. 0:15 - Larian studio good. Larian CEO bad. 26:23 - Compared to the original, the Trails in the Sky remake comes up short a few regards but overall, was very enjoyable 50:09 - Gogmazios doesn't hold a candle to the difficulty or raw spectacle of a triple Blangonga fight in the arena!

Send me a text!Length of article: 4 pagesLength of audio: 12 minutes 36 secondsSynopsis: This is the audio version of the 4-page article I wrote and published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 12/19/25 titled: Mikeitz: And Then They Got DRUNK.

The same issue raised on the previous page regarding laundering vessels removed from the Azara is now applied to breaking earthenware vessels and performing merika (scrubbing) and shetifa (rinsing) of metal vessels. If these vessels are punctured and lose their status as valid utensils, how can the mitzva of breaking or cleaning them be fulfilled? Reish Lakish teaches how to handle a priestly garment that becomes impure, since it cannot be torn. Rav Adda bar Ahava challenges his suggestion, but the Gemara resolves the difficulty. The Gemara raises a difficulty with the obligation of laundering: how can blood be laundered in the Azara if Rav Nachman, quoting Raba bar Avuha, rules that blood of a sin offering and stains from nega'im require cleansing with the seven prescribed detergents, one of which is urine? According to a braita, urine may not be brought into the Temple. The resolution is to bring the urine mixed with saliva (rok tafel). The Mishna teaches that vessels in which sacrificial meat was cooked, or into which boiling liquid was poured, require merika and shetifa, whether from kodashei kodashim or kodashim kalim. Rabbi Shimon disagrees, exempting kodashim kalim from this requirement. A braita explains that the words in the verse in Vayikra 6:21, "that which was cooked in it," extend the law to include pouring boiling liquid into a vessel. Rami bar Chama raises the question of whether meat suspended in the air of the oven counts as cooking for the purposes of requiring breaking the oven. Rava brings a source to answer this question, but it is rejected. A statement of Rav Nachman in the name of Raba bar Avuha is also cited to answer the question, but it too is rejected. A practical case is cited where an oven was plastered with fat, and Raba bar Ahilai forbade eating bread baked in it forever, lest one come to eat it with dairy dip (kutach). This ruling is challenged by a braita that prohibits kneading dough with milk or plastering an oven with fat, but allows use once the oven is reheated (as koshering removes the flavor). Raba bar Ahilai's ruling is therefore rejected. Ravina asks Rav Ashi why, if Raba bar Ahilai was refuted, Rav ruled that pots on Pesach must be broken. Rav Ashi explains that Rav understood the braita to be referring to metal vessels. Alternatively, one can distinguish between earthenware ovens, whose heat is on the inside (so koshering works), and earthenware pots, which are heated from the outside and cannot be properly koshered.

Welcome to the last Q&A session of 2025. In this show we cover selling properties to invest in pensions instead, starting to invest for the first time, UFPLS vs FAD and SO MUCH MORE! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA36  02:05  Question 1 Big thanks to Pete and Roger for all the excellent advice. This question is for some of the 2.8 million UK landlords. Even those with just one property in their own name—not through a limited company—are increasingly affected by fiscal drag. Looking ahead, I plan to sell down much of my property portfolio in later life (because who wants to be a landlord at 70?). Plus, mortgage finance becomes trickier in your 70s. That said, even if I retain one or two of the best properties, the rental income alone may push me into the higher-rate tax bracket. I'm 49 and don't currently have a SIPP, but I can invest up to the £60k annual allowance via my limited company. Would it make sense to start building a modest pension over the next 10 years as a risk mitigation strategy? If so, how should I think about the opportunity cost? I'd save 25% corporation tax going in, but pay higher-rate income tax on the way out (less the 25% tax-free lump sum)—so is the net tax cost around 5%? Or am I overlooking other factors, like the benefit of CGT and income tax exemptions on growth within the pension? Appreciate your thoughts—and keep up the great work. Regards, Cameron. 07:29  Question 2 Hi Pete, Roger and Nick, I've recently discovered your YouTube channel and podcast, and it's been a real eye-opener - thanks so much for all the great content! I'm 45 and currently have £74,000 in a Fidelity SIPP, but it's all sitting in cash. I know that's far from ideal, especially with 15–20 years until I plan to retire. I also realise it's a relatively modest pot for my age, and it's not earning anything while it just sits there. How would you typically advise someone in my situation to begin investing some or all of that cash? I'm keen to make up for lost time but want to do so wisely. Thanks again, and keep up the brilliant work! Joanne 15:15  Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, Firstly thanks so much for all your hard work - I devour your podcasts, videos & books - so much hard work on your behalf & I hope you realise how appreciated they are. I am just at the stage of life where in the next few years I need to start thinking about drawing money out of mine & my husband's pensions and I am considering the most tax efficient way of doing this. I have been reading all about UFPLS and FAD. As background, it is unlikely that either my husband or I will ever have much Personal Allowance unused in the years up to receiving our State Pensions due to rental income we receive; it is also unlikely that either of us will ever become higher rate taxpayers. I also understand that to get the most out of ones PCLS it is best to only crystallise the funds actually needed from an uncrystallised pension so the rest of the pot can hopefully grow and therefore the 25% tax free sum also grows.  So, my question is, what am I missing, in what situations would it be more beneficial to take an UFPLS payment v making a partial crystallisation into a FAD pot (I am with ii who offer this). I feel like an UFPLS payment would give me 25% tax free and 75% taxed right away, whilst a FAD would give me the same 25% tax free and 75% could be taken straight away or drawn down over time as desired and could also be left invested to hopefully grow? Thanks so much, Tracy 21:12  Question 4 Hi Pete and Roger, thanks for hosting such a great podcast! I've recently been searching for a new job and was lucky enough to receive an offer with some interesting compensation features that I thought I would ask your opinions on. I actually turned down this role in favour of something else, but wanted to ask nonetheless as the offer came with an interesting feature that I have not come across before. Firstly, and probably most straightforward to answer – The salary on offer was £50,500 per year, which seems a weird figure – suspiciously only slightly above the threshold to tip me into the higher tax bracket, which got me thinking – are there any benefits (to the employer or employee) of being only just into the next tax bracket up? Why not £50k, or £51k? Secondly, in addition to a very generous DC pension scheme (they would pay in 12% if I pay in 5%) they offer a "Savings Scheme" whereby 5% of my salary would be deducted (and paid into this scheme) each month and at the end of 12 months the company would then top up these savings with another 5% of my annual salary – (actually 6% to "account for the extra tax"). My real question is this – what are these "savings schemes" in a nutshell, and are there any benefits of them over trying to negotiate for increased employer pension contributions instead? Interested to hear your thoughts on these. Thanks so much!

What Your Blood Really Says: Using Blood Tests for Preventive Health. Blood tests can reveal far more about your health than most people realize, often long before symptoms appear. In this episode, I explain how blood work can be used as a powerful preventive tool, not just to diagnose disease. We talk about what common blood tests can tell you about your metabolism, thyroid, hormones, nutrient status, and cardiovascular risk, and why “normal” lab ranges don't always mean optimal health. You'll learn why some nutrients need to be tested in whole blood or red blood cells rather than serum, which markers are often overlooked, and how to choose the right tests without overtesting. This episode is for anyone who wants to move beyond guesswork and use blood tests to gain clarity, track progress, and make more informed health decisions.Takeaways:Blood tests can reveal new health information.Early detection through blood tests aids in prevention.Doctors often check for severe health issues, not optimal health.Optimal ranges in blood tests are crucial for overall health.TSH is just one parameter for assessing thyroid health.Vitamin D levels should ideally be between 60 and 80.Magnesium should be tested in red blood cells for accuracy.Cortisol levels significantly affect energy levels throughout the day.Supplement dosages vary from person to person.Retesting is essential to confirm the effectiveness of health protocols.(blood tests, health insights, optimal ranges, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal health, cortisol, supplements, retesting)Would you like to book a health consultation for yourself or a loved one?

It's episode 600 of the podcast, not that we're doing much to mark that milestone! We have some excellent questions today, taking in retirement planning, getting a mortgage if you have a new business and how flexible ISAs work! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA35  02:43  Question 1 Hi Pete, I'm a single household, due to pay my mortgage off in my early 50's….I have very little savings and pensions are everywhere and been 'balanced fund choices' as I either do self employed work or fixed term contracts. I'm really concerned I won't have 'enough' to retire.  Where do I start to know how much I need? I don't have an extreme fancy lifestyle but want to live comfortably with running a car, having a nice home and having a holiday every few years. I would also like to help my siblings out if possible when they need it. Also for your business…..have you thought of making it an 'employee owned trust' in the future?  This could be a good option if you don't want it swallowed up by larger organisations and want to keep a people focussed culture. Thanks, Anna 12:57  Question 2 Hi Pete and Roger Recently discovered the podcast and it's been really helpful in getting my thoughts straight about future planning - thank you! My job gives me a DB pension that as it stands will give me £4617 per year at 67 - for every year I work that will go up by one 54th of my salary, (£57k) so £1055 annually if I stay at the same grade. Increased by cpi plus 1.5% annually at the moment; and by CPI only once in payment. I can exchange part of this for a lump sum when I take it but that's a decision for another day! I'm projected for full SP at 67 after another 2 years contributing. I have £30k in a pensionbee that I'm adding to £100 a month, and after listening to the podcast I have started an AJ Bell SIPP (vanguard lifestrategy 60% equity) which I'm adding £200 a month to. Also working on the cash ladder/emergency fund - currently just £5k in a cash ISA I am hoping to get this up as much as possible. After overpaying mortgage and contributing to PensionBee/SIPP I can save £200 in a good month. I am aiming to retire as soon as I possibly can after 60, when the kids will all be in their 20s. I am sure this seems impossible but might as well aim high!!! So my priority is to build for the years between 60 and 67. And leave something for the kids, eventually! So…my question!! I have an old tiny deferred DB pension that I can take at 60, £3461 lump plus £1153 per annum (no option to take either a smaller or larger lump sum). I can't trivially commute this due to the rules of the scheme. As it's deferred there are no other benefits eg death in service. Or,  I can take this now (age 53) with a reduction for early payment so it would be worth £3076 lump and £869 per annum.  The pension increases each year by CPI while deferred and also when it's in payment. Does it make sense to take now, and put lump and monthly payment into either mortgage, or SIPP,  or cash ISA? And if so which - SIPP gets me extra 25% from the gov as it's under pension recycling amount? But £3k off my mortgage now might be better. Cant get my head around the maths of this...but my gut feel is it would be working harder for me in my hand despite the fact I'd be taxed on the annual amount? I'd make sure that with my work and personal contributions I stay in 20% tax band and reclaim from HMRC when I do my tax return. Sarah  19:39  Question 3 Hi Pete and Roger, great show and love the new format to allow listeners to ask lots of questions. My question is around pension inheritance. When a person dies and passes a DC pension to a spouse or child, does the inheritance remain in the pension wrapper when it passes on or does it lose its pension wrapper status which allows the person inheriting to use the cash as they want without the pension restrictions? Many thanks, Kavi   26:04  Question 4 Hi Pete I've been watching your videos and listening to your podcasts for about two years now and I'll start by thanking you (and the youthful Mr Weeks) for the public service you provide outside your paying work.  I have what I think is a simple question, but I don't seem to be able to find a definitive answer on-line. I retired about this time two years ago at the age of 62 so I'm 64 now.  I have a DC pension in the form of a SIPP which is currently worth a little more than £600k.  I also have a similar amount in savings (some in cash, some in an S&S ISA).  I live on a combination of the income provided by the cash and the S&S ISA, plus a series of small UFPLSs taken roughly quarterly from my SIPP throughout the tax year. At this stage the SIPP withdrawals are relatively modest (totalling maybe 12k a year, of which of course 3k is tax free).  My intention is to continue doing the UFPLSs at roughly the same rate, possibly increasing a little as a result of inflation.  State pension will add another 12k or so to my annual income in 3 years so that will likely reduce the need to increase my SIPP withdrawals for a while.  My SIPP is currently growing faster than my rate of withdrawal. I understand that the maximum tax free cash I can have out of my pension in my lifetime (under current legislation) is £268,275 and obviously at my current withdrawal rate, I'm not getting to that total anytime soon.  However if I've understood the rules correctly (and I may not have), I think my ability to have tax free cash once I reach the age of 75 goes away.  If that's true, presumably I need to crystallise my SIPP pot just before I reach age 75, taking a quarter of it or my remaining LSA (whichever is smaller) as a tax free lump sum, at which point the remainder turns into an entirely taxable (crystallised) draw down pot?  Alternatively, have I completely misunderstood what happens at age 75 and I can continue to do UFPLSs (with 25% tax free) until the cows come home, or I reach the LSA, whichever is sooner? I don't think it's relevant to my question above but just for background, I have a wife who inherits everything if she survives me, or a few nieces and nephews and charities that benefit if she doesn't.  We have no children of our own. Keep up the good work gentlemen. Regards, Robert   31:05  Question 5 Hi Pete My son, who has never been a saver (apart from workplace pension) and never seems to have any spare money (single dad, renter) is in the process of going self employed with a colleague. If all goes well, he has a chance to make a reasonable income, not be hand to mouth and periodically take lump sums as a company director. E. G £5k to £10k starting in a couple of years. My question is not about the viability of the business but this business will open up the prospect of my mid 30's son, David, owning a house while I am alive. As in, building up a deposit as dividends are paid. It may take several years and then, I assume, he would have to go through the pain of a self employed mortgage. An area that I know nothing about. In effect, he is just starting out, but we would be really interested in your thoughts about the longer term aim of buying a house. Many thanks again for your wonderful books and podcasts Helen   37:55  Question 6 Hi Pete & Roger, I continue to recommend your podcast to others.  Please keep up the excellent work.  My question is on the process of using flexible Cash ISAs.  I cannot find any worked examples online and a few IFAs I have approached suggested kicking back the question to the ISA provider but I would appreciate your thoughts. My wife and I have £200k in flexible cash isas.  We plan on using these funds for a house purchase.  Should I reduce the balance to zero, can I top the ISA back up to the full £200k provided the money goes in and out of a 'flexible' cash isa (and is within the same tax year)?  I would be in a position to do this following the sale of some investment property.. And the second part of the question would be can the money move freely between a stocks and shares isa and a flexible cash isa eg £200k in a flexible cash isa moved into a stocks and shares isa > then back to the flexible cash isa. We are both higher-rate tax payers and I won't drop a tax bracket in retirement so I feel the ISAs are the most useful savings bucket we hold. Take care and all the best. Stuart

In this episode, the CardioNerds (Dr. Naima Maqsood, Dr. Akiva Rosenzveig, and Dr. Colin Blumenthal) are joined by renowned educator in electrophysiology, Dr. Joshua Cooper, to discuss everything atrial flutter; from anatomy and pathophysiology to diagnosis and management. Dr. Cooper's expert teaching comes through as Dr. Cooper vividly describes atrial anatomy to provide the foundational understanding to be able to understand why management of atrial flutter is unique from atrial fibrillation despite their every intertwined relationship. A foundational episode for learners to understand atrial flutter as well as numerous concepts in electrophysiology. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah.  CardioNerds Atrial Fibrillation PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron! Pearls "The biggest mistake is failure to diagnose”. Atrial flutter, especially with 2:1 conduction, is commonly missed in both inpatient and outpatient settings so look carefully at that 12-lead EKG so you can mitigate the stroke and tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy risk  Decremental conduction of the AV node makes it more challenging to rate control atrial flutter than atrial fibrillation  Catheter Ablation is the first line treatment for atrial flutter and is highly successful, but cardioversion can be utilized as well prior to pursuing ablation in some cases.  Class I AADs like propafenone and flecainide may stability the atrial flutter circuit by slowing conduction and thus may worsen the arrhythmia. Therefore, the preferred anti-arrhythmic medication in atrial flutter are class III agents.  Atrial flutter can be triggered by firing from the left side of the heart, so in patients with both atrial fibrillation and flutter, ablating atrial fibrillation makes atrial flutter less likely to recur.  BONUS PEARL: Dr. Cooper's youtube video on atrial flutter is a MUST SEE!  Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Akiva Rosenzveig  What are the distinguishing features of atrial fibrillation and flutter?  Atrial flutter is an organized rhythm characterized by a wavefront that continuously travels around the same circuit leading to reproducible P-waves on surface EKG as well as a very mathematical and predictable relationship between atrial and ventricular activity  Atrial fibrillation is an ever changing, chaotic rhythm that consists of small local circuits that interplay off each other. Consequently, no two beats are the same and the relationship between the atrial activity and ventricular activity is unpredictable leading to an irregularly irregular rhythm  What are common atrial flutter circuits?  Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent atrial flutter is the most common type of flutter. It is characterized by a circuit that circumnavigates the tricuspid valve.  Typical atrial flutter is characterized by the circuit running in a counterclockwise pattern up the septum, from medial to lateral across the right atrial roof, down the lateral wall, and back towards the septum across the floor of the right atrium between the IVC and the inferior margin of the tricuspid valve i.e. the cavo-tricuspid isthmus. Surface EKG will show a gradual downslope in leads II, III, and AvF and a rapid rise at end of each flutter wave.   Atypical CTI-dependent flutter follows the same route but in the opposite direction (clockwise). Therefore, we will see positive flutter waves in the inferior leads   Mitral annular flutter is more commonly seen in atrial fibrillation patients who've been treated with ablation leading to scarring in the left atrium.  Roof-dependent flutter is characterized by a circuit that travels around left atrium circumnavigating a lesion (often from prior ablation), traveling through the left atrial roof, down the posterior wall, and around the pulmonary veins  Surgical/scar/incisional flutter is seen in people with a history of prior cardiac surgery and have iatrogenic scars in right atrium due to cannulation sites or incisions  How does atrial flutter pharmacologic management differ from other atrial arrhythmias?  The atrioventricular (AV) node is unique in that the faster it is stimulated, the longer the refractory period and the slower it conducts. This characteristic is called decremental conduction. In atrial fibrillation, the atrial rate is so fast that the AV node becomes overwhelmed and only lets some of those signals through to the ventricles creating an irregular tachycardia but at lower rates. In atrial flutter, the atrial rate is slower, therefore the AV node has more capability to conduct allowing for higher ventricular rates. Therefore, to achieve rate control one will need a higher dose of AV blocking medications. Atrial tachycardia may require even higher doses due to the increased ability of the AV node to conduct, as the atrial rates are slower than in atrial flutter.  Sodium channel blockers (Class I) such as flecainide and propafenone slow wavefront propagation, making it easier for the AV node to handle the atrial rates. This will end up leading to increased ventricular rates which can be dangerously fast. That is why AV nodal blockers should be used in conjunction with flecainide and propafenone.  What is the role of cardioversion in atrial flutter management?  Due to high success rate with atrial flutter ablation, ablation is the first line treatment. However, sometimes cardioversion may be utilized in patients depending on how symptomatic they are and how long it will take to get an ablation. Cardioversion may also be utilized preferentially when the atrial flutter was triggered by infection or cardiac surgery to see if it will come back.   If cardioversion is pursued, the patient will need to be anticoagulated due to the stroke risk after the procedure due to post-conversion stunning.  How effective is atrial flutter ablation?  The landmark Natale et al study in 2000 demonstrated 80% success rate after radiofrequency ablation as compared to 36% in patients on anti-arrhythmic therapy. The LADIP study in 2006 further corroborated these findings. Contemporary data shows above 90% success rate of atrial flutter ablation.  In patients who have had both atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, most electrophysiologists would ablate both. However, in patients with atrial fibrillation, the atrial flutter usually is initiated by trigger spots firing in the left atrium. Once the atrial fibrillation is ablated, the flutter will become less likely. Therefore, there are those who say there's no need to ablate the flutter circuit as well. Alternatively, if a patient has severe comorbidities and/or is high risk for ablation, one may consider performing the atrial flutter ablation only since atrial flutter is harder to manage medically compared with atrial fibrillation.   How do you manage atrial flutter in the acute inpatient setting?  In the inpatient setting, electrical cardioversion is often limited by blood pressure and the hypotensive effects of the sedatives required. If one is awake and too hypotensive, chemical cardioversion can be pursued. The most effective anti-arrhythmic for this is ibutilide. Amiodarone is not effective for acute cardioversion. Since ibutilide prolongs refractoriness in atrial and ventricular tissue, there's a risk of long QT induced torsades de pointes. Pretreating with magneisum reduces the risk to 1-2%.  References Jolly WA, Ritchie WT. Auricular flutter and fibrillation. 1911.

After completing the paragraph of Yehi Chebod, one should proceed immediately to the recitation of Ashreh. Ashreh consists of the 145 th chapter of Tehillim – "Tehila Le'David" – which is introduced by two other verses from Tehillim: "Ashreh Yosheveh Betecha…" (84:5) and "Ashreh Ha'am She'kacha Lo…" (144:15). While one must of course avoid interruptions at any point during Pesukeh De'zimra, the Kabbalists taught that one must be especially careful not to make any interruption between the end of Yehi Chebod and the beginning of Ashreh. In fact, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) ruled that if one hears Kaddish right when he concludes Yehi Chebod, then he should respond to Kaddish but then repeat the final three verses of Yehi Chebod so he can connect the end of Yehi Chebod with Ashreh without any interruption. Alternatively, if one hears during his recitation of Yehi Chebod that Kaddish will soon be recited, he should pause in the middle of Yehi Chebod so he can respond to Kaddish then, and not at the end of Yehi Chebod. Hacham Ovadia Yosef disagreed, and maintained that responding to Kaddish does not constitute a Hefsek (interruption). In his view, then, if one hears Kaddish between Yehi Chebod and Ashreh, he responds to Kaddish and then proceeds to Ashreh as usual. Summary: It is critically important to proceed to Ashreh immediately after concluding the recitation of Yehi Chebod. According to some opinions, if one hears Kaddish between Yehi Chebod and Ashreh, then although he should respond to Kaddish, he should repeat the final three verses of Yehi Chebod before beginning Ashreh. Others disagree and maintain that the person in this case simply proceeds to Ashreh as usual.

Welcome back to Cult Season, where we continue our sincere attempt to make you feel a little bit worse about the world and everything in it.This week, we turn to Stefan Molyneux, online pioneer, prolific content creator, and self-proclaimed most popular philosopher in the world. Alternatively his wikipedia entry describes him as "an Irish-born Canadian white nationalist podcaster and proponent of conspiracy theories, white supremacy, scientific racism, and the men's rights movement." Charming...One thing is for sure: Molyneux is the only man alive who can turn literally any question into a monologue that combines demonic liberals, cutting off friends and family, and female reproductive choices. A true Renaissance man for people who hate Renaissance values.In this first episode we take a brief tour through the Molyneux Expanded Universe™, which includes some infamous clips from his early days as the creator of an online 'philosophy' cult themed around anti-spanking, anarcho-capitalism, and misogyny. We also cover his pivot to MAGA apologetics and overt white nationalism and finally to late-stage Molyneux, where he now lurks in Twitter Spaces, berating callers and insisting the world is populated by demon-ridden NPCs gleefully urinating on their moral superiors.Look forward to learning about his extensive rhetorical techniques, which include thin-skinned narcissism, a penchant for violent metaphors usually featuring urine and anal torture, his constant demand that listeners cut off their families and, of course, his favourite claim: that anyone who disagrees with him is a man-whore NPC who wants to kill you.Also featuring:A Weinstein cameo (because of course)Chris recounting the proto–Decoding the Gurus origin story involving a Facebook post and some early Molyneux contentAnd a rare chance to hear Matt physically wince at a Rocky Horror cold openIf you've ever wanted to hear a preening narcissist berate his listener for raising entirely reasonable points... well, this is the episode for you.Scott Adams should be careful, a new contender has emerged for his crown...Part 2 coming soon, assuming we survive this one.LinksFreedomain Radio 6162: The Most Frightening Fact!

Londinium 91 AD: The Aging Emperor's Urgency. Gaius and Germanicus discuss the physical and mental state of emperor Trump, noting his senior age and frantic, restless pace as potentially signs of an aging brain or alternatively adrenaline and confidence. Germanicus believes the emperor is acutely self-aware of his limited time, driven by tremendous brutal urgency to secure a lasting legacy including fiscal stability, border control, and eliminating principles like DEI. However, the stress of this frantic pace combined with age could cloud his judgment, making him more impulsive or desperate. The emperor's focus on revenge cycles, such as indicting former directors, is typical of historical emperors against their enemies. Germanicus worries this could lead to physical decline and reckless action. A critical marker of a republic's collapse into an emperor system is when the incoming president pursues and imprisons his predecessor, an easy push into civil war seen in places like Brazil. They conclude the transition is quietly happening, with the question of whether the U.S. will experience violence remaining unknown. 81 BCE SULLA Retry
