As of the reairing of this episode, 13 states in the US have a total abortion ban. 7 states ban abortion at or before 18 weeks' gestation. 21 states ban abortion at some point after 18 weeks.In the weeks before the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade, we sat down to talk about what body autonomy and reproductive health will look like for us in a post-Roe vs. Wade world. The stress of racism and barriers to care–including abortion care–are part of a downward spiral in reproductive justice. Too often, those stressors play out in our wombs as fibroids and cancers. We talk about seeking justice and liberation with our guests.GUESTS:Anoa Changa, journalist and writer of “What's Next for Roe v.

Jetstack's cert-manager, a leading open-source project in Kubernetes certificate management, began as a job interview challenge. Co-founder Matt Barker recalls asking a prospective engineer to automate Let's Encrypt within Kubernetes. By Monday, the candidate had created kube-lego, which evolved into cert-manager, now downloaded over 500 million times monthly.Cert-manager's journey to CNCF graduation, achieved in September, began with its donation to the foundation four years ago. Relaunched as cert-manager, the project grew under engineer James Munnelly, becoming the de facto standard for certificate lifecycle management. The thriving community and ecosystem around cert-manager highlighted its suitability for CNCF stewardship. However, maintainers, including Ashley Davis, noted challenges in navigating differing opinions within its vast user base.With graduation achieved, cert-manager's roadmap includes sub-projects like trust-manager, addressing TLS trust bundle management and Istio integration. Barker aims to streamline enterprise-scale deployments and educate security teams on cert-manager's impact. Cert-manager has become integral to cloud-native workflows, promising to simplify hybrid, multicloud, and edge deployments.Learn more from The New Stack about cert-manager:Jetstack's cert-manager Joins the CNCF Sandbox of Cloud Native TechnologiesJetstack Secure Promises to Ease Kubernetes TLS SecurityJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

The movie kicks off in the big city for the annual Jingle Belle's live show. They're knockoff Rockettes. The people love it. I do not. In the middle of it all is Ashley Davis. She's a legend who has apparently been doing the Jingle Belle show for 12 years! Her boss asks to see her one night after a show — she is NOT being aged out, but she IS being replaced. She doesn't even get to finish out the season. She leaves and screams, "AGGHHHHHHHH!" She goes home to watch some Netflix Christmas movies and drown her sorrows in popcorn. Her mom calls and says that, since they know she's too busy to come to them, they're coming to her. They even bought tickets to see The Jingle Belle. She says, "No, no, that won't be necessary. I'll come to you."So, she heads to her hometown of Sycamore Creek and is dropped off at The Rhythm Room. She immediately gets tangled up in some garland that a hunk is putting up on the lampposts.The Rhythm Room is the venue her parents own. They hug, and then the parents immediately go to meet with the women who own the building. Turns out, the landlord keeps raising the rent on them, making it hard for the venue to bring in big artists, which makes it hard to make money, which makes it hard to fix the faucets. But who needs money when you have a Luke? Luke is the garland guy from before, who also comes by and helps with repairs when they need him. He agrees to give Ashley a ride to her parents' place, and they spend the ride talking and getting to know each other a little bit.The next day, she heads down to the venue, and it doesn't take long for Luke to show up shirtless. She finds out that her parents are in quite the bind, and there's a juice bar interested in taking over the lease and back-paying the 6 months' rent they're behind. When all is said and done, her parents are in a $30,000 hole. But something the landlord says inspires Ashley to put together an all-male dance crew that will bring in the people. And who better to lead the revue than shirtless Luke? She'll call them the Merry Gentlemen... THAT'S THE NAME OF THE MOVIE!Luke is hesitant at first, but if it helps save The Rhythm Room, he'll give it a shot. She recruits the hunky bartender and her sister's husband, who also happens to be a stripper for bachelorette parties. She works on coming up with a routine, and the guys are all taking it seriously. Luke doesn't feel like he's getting it, so she slow dances with him, and the sparks begin to FLY!It's finally time for the big revue debut, and Luke is freaking out and breathing into a bag. Luckily, Ashley has some tricks that she's picked up to help with nerves.The tickets are $30 a pop, and the crowd... well, it's a start. But the boys crush it, and the crowd LOVES it.The night is a success, and the landlord tells Ashley to keep up the great work. Luke congratulates Ashley on her big success, gives her a necklace, and asks to walk her home. They get some pizza and really start to open up to one another. She didn't expect to enjoy directing a show as much as she did.She finds another dancer, and they start putting together some new dances. Everything is going great! They're even selling out!But one of the guys slips and falls, spraining his ankle just before showtime. This throws the boys off, and they have to press pause to try to figure something out. Luckily, there's a guy named Danny who is always at the bar doing a crossword puzzle, and he joins in on the fun. It works. Another successful night! After the 12/21 show, they're only about $10,000 short.Ashley goes to talk to Luke some more in his barn. Talking leads to dancing, and dancing leads to kissing.They are so close to the $30,000 goal when Ashley gets a call from her old boss — they have a 911 situation, and she needs her back ASAP. They're willing to give her a 25% raise and a 3-year contract. The problem? She needs to be back by the big Christmas Day show. She goes to talk to her parents, and they tell her that she has to take the offer. It's her dream. She texts her boss and takes the offer.Luke doesn't take the news as well. "The city girls are all the same," he says. "The only reason I was doing this show is because of how inspiring you are."She heads off to the airport, and he goes on stage to start dancing, but he can't do it. Suddenly, she walks in, and he can dance again. She tells him that she could do it, she couldn't leave. They celebrate with a big kiss — complete WITH A LIFT!They all celebrate Christmas together with Christmas dinner at The Rhythm Room, and they share one more big ol' kiss!

Ashley and Damian highlight microservices' flexibility in system design, allowing for the gradual evolution and replacement of components, which helps manage technical debt and adapt to newer technologies.They emphasize that microservices facilitate smaller, focused teams that can independently manage and scale components, enhancing overall agility. However, they also caution against potential pitfalls, such as unnecessary complexity and improper implementation, which can undermine the advantages of microservices.RECOMMENDED BOOKSAshley Davis • Bootstrapping Microservices • https://amzn.to/3X8ccTcSarah Wells • Enabling Microservice Success • https://amzn.to/4aa8xrvSam Newman • Monolith to Microservices • https://amzn.to/2Nml96ESam Newman • Building Microservices • https://amzn.to/3dMPbOsSimon Brown • Software Architecture for Developers Vol. 2 • https://leanpub.com/visualising-software-architectureTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!

On this week's episode host Johanna Maska and producer Christine Baratta talk from the sidelines of NATO in Washington about the President's current situation.

Which is why Maska also speaks to Democratic Strategist Danielle Cendejas who managed Obama campaign delegate plans (important should there be any issues with the nominee) and Ashley Davis who managed a Republican National Convention.

Changing mindsets from losing weight to gaining strength was the focus for Ashley Davis when she became a gym owner. Her goal? Give women a place to be seen and known and celebrated as they become stronger in mind and body. Why? Sometimes the best life you can have is the one you had zero idea you were meant for.

Patrick Rieger sent pictures from PITTSBURGH: "Hi Marc, Thank you so much for so many years of the podcast, Marc, and the invitation to share pictures of Irish musicians we are enjoying this Summer. I look forward to each episode. My wife and play it in the car and at home. This is John McCann, on stage at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub in Pittsburgh, on July 15. John is a regular there, and my family, friends and I always enjoy his shows. John is helping to teach our 11 year old son how to properly clap along to what our late friend, Terry Griffith, described, in jest, as annoying Irish audience participation songs. Our son doesn't have the timing down yet but he is getting better. His favorite is Whiskey in the Jar. Casey Deely joined John on stage for a couple of songs that night. There are plenty more shows to go to before Summer ends, so if you want more photos just let me know. And if you ever find yourself in Pittsburgh, my wife and I will gladly introduce you to our favorite irish pub." Sophie Wildman - Gurung emailed: "Dear Marc, I thought I'd write as I've been listening to your podcast this afternoon as I tie up the first plants in my new garden in Somerset (UK) in holes kindly dug by my magical friend Bangles (Woodland Folk). It was Bangles who first introduced me to your podcast shortly after we first met last November. We met when I was then living in Wells and he was busking 'Troika' by Sergei Prokofiev which was the peice of music I had been looking for, to fit in with 'I believe in Father Christmas' by Greg Lake, that I had been working on. Since then we have been jamming together regularly (mainly folk), often at his spot in the woods, sometimes around the folk nights nearby, with him on his fiddle and me on folk harp (22 strings) and singing. You recently played a recording he'd sent in of some crows so I thought I'd send in one he did of me playing a verse from 'Longlife and Sucess to the Farmer' (quite appropriate for this time of year and my afternoons activities although as an advocate of 'no - dig gardening' I'm not a fan of ploughs,) accompanied by probably the same crows  -  warning us if there are walkers nearby. Maybe with a bit more practise we'll get 'I believed in Father Christmas' together to send you, fingers crossed in time for Christmas! Really enjoying your podcasts, thank you. I've been a fan of Celtic music as long as I can remember. My family is originally from Cornwall which may have something to do with it and obviously lots of music for lever harp (which I've been playing since I was 10) is Celtic. So long may the podcast continue, play on! Kind regards" Woodland Folk sent some pictures and wrote: "Heard bout Ur scifirish on band camp.... inspired... One of the first videos I saw online when I had a skylark(not a violin or fiddle but I respect it greatly for teaching me the tentative mechanics),an Irish man with a fiddle on his knee, looking into the camera said "it's love".... Wisdom many could learn from..." woodland folk sent another photo: "I feel I have been out of the loop, looking forward to making up for this by listening back to a few old faithful episodes (man of the house/2 hour fiddle episode and all...) and a few new ones on a 9 hour coach trip to moffat in Scotland,to see my son who is now a strapping, baritone 17 yrs..... Time is an odd thing.... I tentatively tryed a little Fahey in wells yesterday, though simple with few embellishments....in a way the simplest tunes are the hardest to play,Irish washerwoman or silver spear are deceptive and pretty...... I find Music the grandest analogy for life..."

Christina Maree replied to the Celtic Music Magazine feedback request: "Hi Marc,  I love your podcast and have been listening to it for a while. It's very versatile! Useful for running, cleaning, cooking, organizing teacher resources and writing report cards (I'm a Kindergarten teacher)! I will be celebrating St Patrick's Day by playing my harp and listening to more inspiring tunes (a la the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast). Thanks for sharing! Go raibh maith agat!" Pronunciation: guh ruh mah a - gut Dennis O'Brien replied: "I listen while working on/planning my Dungeons & Dragons game for the week. On St. Patrick's Day I am cooking a meal for my wife's family  -  a tradition since we first started dating. We will also listen to the Dropkick Murphys concerts from years past, if they don't have one live on YouTube. We will be singing along  -  my wife's Irish born grandmother can't make it this year, but we WILL be making a phone call to far off Minnesota." Stacia Ahlfeld replied: "We'll probably be doing school while listening. My kids like Irish and Celtic music as much as me. I am hoping to go to a nearby town's St. Patrick's Day parade. The town's name is Ireland, so they kind of blow it up. We'll probably continue to listen to music, and I might tell some stories."

In this episode we continue our conversation about teacher teaming within the context of Corbett Prep, a non-profit, private preK3-8 school. In the previous episode we heard the story of how team teaching came to define Corbett's structure and heard an administrative perspective on the value of teaming. In this episode, we hear directly from teachers what it is like to work in close collaboration with colleagues in the classroom. Participating in the discussion are teachers Ashley Davis, Michael LeBlanc, Marla LeBlanc, John Palmer and administrator Jennifer Jagdmann.

"Serving the King," Ordinary Time, Matthew 10:34-42, The Rev. Dcn. Ashley Davis.

Welcome back to the Just a Mom series! Of course no mom is JUST a mom and in this series we're shinning a little light on mommas AND their stories. If we've learned anything in the past 14 years connecting mommas, it's that our seemingly ordinary and quiet stories connect and encourage fellow mommas more than we know. And after learning the real meaning behind the quote "Well-behaved women seldom make history" we knew we needed to get more mommas sharing their stories.Dr. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, the owner of that quotation, as well as a historian, author, educator, and mother of 5 was dedicated to telling the quiet stories of ordinary people...and she won a Pulitzer Prize for it. Because, as she states, “it is in the very dailiness, the exhaustive, repetitious dailiness, that the real power lies… living has to be measured in doing.” and mommas...we are ALWAYS doing! It's the really difficult dailiness that holds so much of the beauty of our contributions as mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters...and it rarely gets attention or credit, because as Ulrich stated, well-behaved women seldom make history. So let's change that.5 kids...12 days...one van....over 5,000 miles...all in the middle of the Pandemic....and no I'm not talking about our big family road trip from back in 2021...our guest today road-tripped as a family from the far reaches of Alaska all the way down to Florida when they got PCS orders from the Army back in 2021. She is a devoted homemaker, homeschools, has a bearded dragon, and is a talented artist. She is due with her 6th precious baby ANY DAY NOW and has become a dear friend of ours. Ashley Davis...welcome!

The pair discussed Ashley's experience in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, including her role in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.

#107 In March the city of LA wrapped up its year-long guaranteed income program, Big: Leap. It's an acronym for Basic Income Guaranteed: L.A. Economic Assistance Pilot and it provided $1000 a month to 3,200 low-income families for a year, no strings attached. It modeled itself after other guaranteed income pilot programs — sometimes called Universal Basic Income, or UBI — in cities like Stockton, Oakland and San Francisco. The idea of UBI is to provide extra income without any kind of work requirement or other conditions to, ideally, improve people's lives. Our producers followed five of its participants over the course of the year. In this episode we hear from two of them. Plus, Brian talks to an leading expert in guaranteed income programs about how Big: Leap worked and how, in general, such programs can benefit people. Guests: Juan Sernas and Amalia Mendez, Big: Leap participants; Ashley Davis, Big: Leap participant; L.A. City Councilmember Curren Price; and Natalie Foster, the president of the Economic Security Project, an organization that advocates for public programs that reduce income inequality.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour, we continue with part two of our last conversation talking about grief, healing, love and even light after loss, as we welcome special guest, Ashley Davis Bush, LICSW. Ashley has over thirty years of experience as a psychotherapist in private practice and is the author of ten self-help books, including her most recent work, Light After Loss: A Spiritual Guide for Comfort, Hope and Healing. She is trained in EMDR trauma work, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy, is a Reiki master and a spiritual director who draws on many healing modalities. Listeners will appreciate the depth and tenderness this conversation offers as we welcome them into the light – and discuss so many important facets of grieving experiences we face in life – including why it is so important to grieve and how grieving has changed over the years. We expand on our last conversation furthering ways we can support others during their grieving journey and even defining our own terms of how we need to grieve. We talk about expectations of others when it comes to grief and even judgement regarding the grieving process and how we can educate others around us when we are in this place as to what we need for the grieving process. We acknowledge that while grief won't have an expiration date, we can begin the process of healing through light – recognizing our own illuminating from within and as our guest shares in her work and book, Light After Loss, through Light-Shift practices. We focus on a multitude of ways to make meaning out of loss, to celebrate our loved ones, especially during the holidays and special anniversary occasions when we might feel especially heartbroken in the depths of bereavement – to bring them closer to us and warm our heart and soul with love. Listeners will truly appreciate the wisdom-packed hour as we analyze grief from so many different perspectives in an effort to help everyone better understand it towards healing, hope and finding purpose to live in the light again following the loss of a loved one so dear. We discover it is through picking up the pieces of our broken heart a little at a time, while honoring our loved one along the way, somehow light finds its way in. Because love is light and it can slowly open the doorway to a new way of living again after loss. To learn more about Ashley Davis Bush, purchase her book, Light after Loss, or her class books, Transcending Loss, and The Little Book of Inner Peace, and many more, access her blog, inquire about her counseling services and more, visit her at www.ashleydavisbush.com.

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C revisits an episode from 2016 on a very important subject - self care for helping professionals! Ashley Davis Bush, LICSW is a psychotherapist in private practice in southern New Hampshire with over 30 years' experience.  Ashley has written several self-help books, including Transcending Loss and Simple Self-Care for Therapists. She is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post and has some great tips to share with us today about improving our relationships to self-care. Join us! What you'll hear in this episode: Ashley loves her work and counts it a privilege to be part of peoples' lives. Her private practice is in her home, and it's “a fun job, watching life unfold in front of you.” Even the simple choice of working from home can be a self-care choice. Ashley's work focuses on grief, couples, and anxiety, but self-care is a common thread that is woven into her work with all clients. Ashley says that much of her practice patterns itself after her books. Her most recent book introduces the idea of “micro self-care.” “Macro self-care”practices are the big things that we normally think of regarding self-care, but micro practices are short, simple things that can be done in 1-2 minutes. Ashley focuses on self-care to avoid burnout, which she categorizes as “little b” and “BIG B” types of burnout. “little b” burnout is when you are exhausted at the end of the day or week. You may need a good night's rest or a few days off to regenerate and recover. “BIG B” burnout is when you need to leave the field because you can't take it anymore. Ashley addresses “vicarious trauma,” in that ALL therapists do some sort of trauma work. Personal and professional experience can cloud the lens with which we see the world, but life's pains are a constant trauma. Ashley explains self-care vs. self-violence: when you don't take care of yourself, then you're doing harm (violence) to yourself. Mindfulness leads to grounding, bringing us into this moment right now. Ashley shares her Tibetan bell practice to help bring clients into mindfulness. She recommends using micro self-care practices at the beginning, middle, and end of your day. Ashley's book lists 40-50 suggestions as to how to scale down macro self-care practices into small micro practices. Making the transformation from macro to micro self-care practices requires thinking creatively, but shouldn't be overwhelming. Neuroplasticity is the science that show the brain can change in response to repetitive behaviors. You can rewire your brain to be more peaceful! When your brain is rewired, then your default setting comes to a place of gratitude and feeling good. Ashley's three takeaways: Have a basic plan for 3 micro self-care practices each day. Sleep 8-9 hours each night so you aren't tired during the day. Prioritize self-care, and you'll soon realize that you can't live without it! Be aware of the seasons of life, but regardless of the season, you can fit in micro self-care every da   Find Ashley at www.ashleydavisbush.com.

What do body autonomy and reproductive health look like in a post Roe vs. Wade world? The stress of racism and barriers to care–including abortion care–are part of a downward spiral in reproductive justice. Too often, those stressors play out in our wombs as fibroids and cancers.
