In this episode of The MSing Link Podcast, I engage in a meaningful conversation with Cherie Binns, a knowledgeable MS nurse, about the intricate relationship between multiple sclerosis and menopause. We explore how hormonal changes can exacerbate MS symptoms and discuss the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy for individuals experiencing these changes. Cherie provides insights into recognizing whether symptom changes are due to MS progression or menopause and offers practical tips to manage these challenges. With 30% of the MS population being perimenopausal or menopausal, this episode is essential for understanding how to navigate these dual challenges effectively. Join us for an enlightening discussion filled with expert advice and actionable strategies to understand MS and hormone, menopause effects on MS symptoms, treatment options during menopause, and HRT considerations for patients with MS. If you're someone with MS or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen! Tune in to gain valuable insights and empower yourself on your MS journey.

The Harmony of Ra and Horus: Bridging Exploit and Explore F Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” In times of turbulence, leaders must balance the two opposing ideas of exploit and explore. Ra and Horus, two pivotal figures in Egyptian mythology, symbolise the dual forces of power and intuition, rationality and creativity. Together as Ra-Horakhty, they embody a unification of opposites. In organisational terms, this metaphor captures the balance between exploitation — the optimisation of current capabilities — and exploration — the pursuit of new possibilities. Inspired by my recent conversation with Mike Tushman and Charles O'Reilly and James March's seminal work on organisational learning, this post explores how integrating these dual forces fosters ambidexterity, enabling organisations to thrive in both the present and the future. Ra: The Organisational Force of Exploitation In mythology, Ra is the sun god, embodying power, creation, and rationality. He represents the structured, predictable cycle of the sun, providing stability and light. In organisations, Ra reflects the principles of exploitation, ensuring that current strengths are refined and utilised to their fullest potential. Organisational Ra includes: Execution and Strategy: Teams that deliver results through clear processes and focused strategies. Operational Efficiency: Optimisation of resources, ensuring stability and short-term profitability. Leadership and Structure: Leaders who prioritise alignment with organisational goals and mitigate risk. Ra aligns with the conscious mind, driving focus, clarity, and execution. However, organisations overly reliant on Ra risk stagnation, becoming trapped in suboptimal routines that limit innovation. Horus: The Organisational Force of Exploration The Eye of Horus symbolises protection, health, and restoration in ancient Egypt. According to myth, Horus lost his left eye in a battle with Seth, and it was magically restored by Hathor. This restoration came to symbolise healing and the process of becoming whole. Horus, the falcon-headed god, represents creativity and vision, capturing the spirit of exploration and long-term growth. Organisational Horus includes: Innovation and Creativity: Teams that explore bold ideas, embrace uncertainty, and foster breakthroughs. Empathy and Culture: Efforts that nurture human-centred design and foster a supportive organisational culture. Long-Term Vision: Leadership that anticipates future challenges and invests in experimentation. Horus represents the subconscious mind, fostering emotional intelligence and adaptability. However, without Ra's structure, organisations driven solely by Horus risk lacking focus and direction. Ra-Horakhty: Uniting Exploitation and Exploration In Egyptian mythology, Ra-Horakhty — “Ra, who is Horus of the Two Horizons” — represents the unification of these complementary forces. The rising sun (Horus) and the setting sun (Ra) reflect a cyclical harmony, where opposites merge to create a greater whole. In organisations, Ra-Horakhty serves as a metaphor for ambidexterity — the ability to balance exploitation (Ra) with exploration (Horus). This balance is essential for thriving in both stable and volatile environments. Organisational Ra-Horakhty includes: Unified Leadership: Leaders who can integrate operational efficiency with visionary strategy. Ambidextrous Teams: Structures that enable both incremental improvements and bold innovations. Cultural Harmony: A mindset that values both stability and adaptability, blending logic with creativity. The Balance Between Exploitation and Exploration Scholars like James March, Tushman, O'Reilly and Binns highlights the organisational challenge of balancing exploitation and exploration: Exploitation: Refining current capabilities to maximise short-term...

We accidentally went and left ourselves with nothing much to talk about following the win over Boro at the weekend and it looks like we've signed this Aaron Connolly lad who just so happened to play for them, so Gav and Chris return to consider a few things (like Gav's arse in the Binns window) and look ahead to Watford! What's the crack? The last Binns has, luckily for us all, closed down. Leaving Gav with no window but his own.So our new signing then.. is he another rehabilitation project in a similar vein to Clarke and Roberts? Or is he just here to provide some strength in depth? Watford play Man City in the cup tonight, could this work in our favour? What do we think will be the focus for Regis Le Bris as we approach the weekend; How things are going at Vicarage Road; It's been almost 6 months since Tom Cleverly took charge and it looks like he may keep his job for a little while longer.How do the lads think we'll set up against them? Will RLB settle on the Mepham/O'Nien partnership and what does that mean for Ballard? All this and more! Ha'way the Lads!#SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast.

Brigit Binns first appeared on Pizza Quest a few years ago when we filmed some cooking segments with her and her husband, actor Casey Biggs, at the Forno Bravo Wood-Fired Oven Expo in Salinas, California in 2017.Brigit and Casey have also been operating a wonderful retreat and event center in California's Central Coast Wine Country called Refugio. But, she's far too prolific for settling into the so-called good life, and so keeps writing fabulous cook books for Williams-Sonoma and others, as well as, more recently, a memoir called Rottenkid about growing up in (and surviving) a neurotically crazy Hollywood family (the title says it all). In this delightfully candid conversation, she shares it all with us, including some good, old-fashioned Hollywood gossip – hey, you can't make up this stuff!Click here for the video versions of Pizza Quest. If you count on HRN content, become a monthly sustaining donor at heritageradionetwork.org/donate.Pizza Quest is Powered by Simplecast.

Brigit Binns is a well-known and prolific cookbook author but this week she's here to talk about her memoir, Rottenkid: A Succulent Story of Survival. Her narrative includes Hollywood stories, an alcoholic actor father, a glamorous narcissistic mother, a bit of political intrigue, world travel, and the search for belonging. It's a story of both privilege and profound neglect and shows how she found comfort and self-worth in the kitchen. Brigit's memoir is a testament to female determination and will inspire all who suffer damage from a narcissistic parent.   Brigit finds happiness in her Paso Robles, California kitchen with her dog Stella and her fabulous husband Casey (AKA the Wine Spectator Paso Wine Man).    BRIGIT'S LINKS: Website Buy the book Instagram Threads Good Reads Facebook Substack   Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast with Denise Vivaldo.

Chapter 9 - The Woes of Mrs WeasleyʹWell, well, well… Patronus Potter,ʹ said Lucius Malfoy coolly.Q1 - What's the best nickname you ever got?Harry turned his moneybag upsidedown and emptied not just ten Galleons, but the whole contents into the pool.Q2 - How do you think Mr Weasley feels at this moment.Q3 - Do you think Sirius has a right to be upset?ʹWe were just wondering who set the Slinkhard book,ʹ said Fred conversationally. ʹBecause it means Dumbledoreʹs found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher,ʹ said George.Q4 - Who do you think is going to be their Defense against the Dark Arts teacher?ʹWhatʹs up with you, Ron?ʹ asked Fred. Ron did not answer. Harry looked round. Ron was standing very still with his mouth slightly open, gaping at his letter from Hogwarts. ʹWhatʹs the matter?ʹ said Fred impatiently, moving around Ron to look over his shoulder at the parchment. Fredʹs mouth fell open, too. ʹPrefect?ʹ he said, staring incredulously at the letter. ʹPrefect?'Q5 - Should Ron have been made a Prefect?Ron held up his badge. Mrs Weasley let out a shriek just like Hermioneʹs. ʹI donʹt believe it! I donʹt believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! Thatʹs everyone in the family!ʹ ʹWhat are Fred and I, nextdoor neighbors?ʹ said George.Q6 - Ron wants a broom as a reward…do you think he'd be any good at quidditch?Q7 - Why is Harry so bummed he didn't get Prefect?Harry noticed that Ron kept moving his prefects badge around, first placing it on his bedside table, then putting it into his jeans pocket, then taking it out and lying it on his folded robes, as though to see the effect of the red on the black. Only when Fred and George dropped in and offered to attach it to his forehead with a Permanent Sticking Charm did he wrap it tenderly in his maroon socks and lock it in his trunk.Q8 - Have you ever not been chosen for something and been really bummed out?ʹOh, Alastor, I am glad youʹre here,ʹ said Mrs Weasley brightly, as Mad-Eye shrugged off his traveling cloak. ʹWeʹve been wanting to ask you for ages ‐ could you have a look in the writing desk in the drawing room and tell us whatʹs inside it? We havenʹt wanted to open it just in case itʹs something really nasty.ʹ ʹNo problem, Molly…ʹ Moodyʹs electric‐blue eye swiveled upwards and stared fixedly through the ceiling of the kitchen. ʹDrawing room…ʹ he growled, as the pupil contracted. ʹDesk in the corner? Yeah, I see it… yeah, itʹs a Boggart… want me to go up and get rid of it, Molly?ʹ Q9 - What do you think Moody sees?Q10 - Should Harry have been made a prefect?Q11 - Moody gives him a picture of the original order…who would you want a TV series about?ʹIʹm justʹ s ʹs  so worried,ʹ she said, tears spilling out of her eyes again. ʹHalf the f‐ f ‐ familyʹs in the Order, itʹll b ‐ b ‐ be a miracle if we all come through this…and P ‐ P ‐ Percys not talking to us… what if something d‐d ‐ dreadful happens and weʹve never in ‐ in ‐ made it up with him? And whatʹs going to happen if Arthur and I get killed, whoʹs g ‐ g ‐ going to look after Ron and Ginny?ʹQ12 - Who do you think will die in the end of this book?Chapter 10 - Luna LovegoodQ1 - Was Sirius irresponsible for going with the group to the train station?The girl beside the window looked up. She had straggly, waist length, dirty blonde hair, very pale eyebrows and protuberant eyes that gave her a permanently surprised look. Harry knew at once why Neville had chosen to pass this compartment by. The girl gave off an aura of distinct dottiness. Perhaps it was the fact that she had stuck her wand behind her left ear for safekeeping, or that she had chosen to wear a necklace of Butterbeer corks, or that she was reading a magazine upside down. Her eyes ranged over Neville and came to rest on Harry. She nodded.Q2 - What are your first impressions of Luna?Harry knew that Nevilleʹs favorite subject was Herbology but for the life of him he could not see what he would want with this stunted little plant.Q3 - Is Harry lame for not liking plants?Rather pink in the face, she closed the door and departed. Harry slumped back in his seat and groaned. He would have liked Cho to discover him sitting with a group of very cool people laughing their heads off at a joke he had just told; he would not have chosen to be sitting with Neville and Loony Lovegood, clutching a toad and dripping in Stinksap.Q4 - Who do you think all of the characters will marry?Q5 - Out of all of the articles in the Quibbler, which are you flipping to first? (How Far Will Fudge Go To Gain Gringotts, Corruption in the Quidditch League: How the Tornados are Taking Control, Secrets of the Ancient Runes Revealed, Sirius Black, Villain or Victim)Q6 - Do you think Fudge has ever had a goblin cooked in a pie?ʹAnything good in there?ʹ asked Ron as Harry closed the magazine. ʹOf course not,ʹ said Hermione scathingly, before Harry could answer. The Quibblerʹs rubbish, everyone knows that.ʹ ʹExcuse me,ʹ said Luna; her voice had suddenly lost its dreamy quality. ʹMy fatherʹs the editor.ʹ Q7 - Ever been embarrassed like this?Q8 - Where's Hagrid?Harry felt utterly bewildered. The horse was there in front of him, gleaming solidly in the dim light issuing from the station windows behind them, vapour rising from its nostrils in the chilly night air. Yet, unless Ron was faking—and it was a very feeble joke if he was—Ron could not see it at all.Q9 - What are these creatures and why can only Harry and Luna see them?Chapter 11 - The Sorting Hat's New SongQ1 - Do we agree with Luna that Hagrid is a bad teacher?Thus the houses and their foundersRetained friendships firm and true.So Hogwarts worked in harmonyFor several happy years,But then discord crept among usFeeding on our faults and fears.The houses that, like pillars four,Had once held up our school,Now turned upon each other and, Divided, sought to rule. Q2 - Do you think it was just a parting of ways because of ideas that the founders disliked each other?And now the Sorting Hat is hereAnd you all know the score:I sort you into housesBecause that is what Iʹm for,But this year Iʹll go further,Listen closely to my song:Though condemned I am to split youStill I worry that itʹs wrong,Though / must fulfil my dutyAnd must quarter everv yearStill I wonder whether SortingMay not bring the end I fear.Oh, know the perils, read the signs,The warning history shows,For our Hogwarts is in dangerFrom external, deadly foesAnd we must unite inside herOr weʹll crumble from withinI have told you, I have warned you…Let the Sorting now beginQ3 - What do you think of the song?Q4 - How can the hat know the school is in danger if it's a hat?Q5 - What's a moment in your life where food had never tasted so good?ʹWe have had two changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly‐Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons; we are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.ʹQ6 - What did you think of Umbridge's speech?ʹOut of order, am I?ʹ shouted Seamus, who in contrast with Ron was going pale. ʹYou believe all the rubbish heʹs come out with about You‐Know‐Who, do you, you reckon heʹs telling the truth?ʹ ʹYeah, I do!ʹ said Ron angrily.Q7 - What do you think of Seamus not coming back and Harry's response?Chapter 12 - Professor UmbridgeQ1 - Have you ever been a test subject?ʹBeen having a nice little chat with her about whether or not Iʹm a lying, attention seeking prat, have you?ʹ Harry said loudly. ʹNo,ʹ said Hermione calmly. ʹI told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down our throats, Harry, because in case you havenʹt noticed, Ron and I are on your side.ʹ There was a short pause. ʹSorry,ʹ said Harry in a low voice.Q2 - Is Hermione the best?"Anyway, it's a nightmare of a year, the fifth," said George. "If you care about exam results anyway. Fred and I managed to keep our peckers up somehow."Q3 - What career do you think Hermione will take?ʹHow would it be,ʹ she asked them coldly, as they left the classroom for break (Binns drifting away through the blackboard), ʹif I refused to lend you my notes this year?ʹ ʹWeʹd fail our OWL,ʹ said Ron. ʹIf you want that on your conscience, Hermione…ʹ Is that a Tornados badge?ʹ Ron demanded suddenly, pointing to the front of Choʹs robes, where a sky blue badge emblazoned with a double gold Tʹ was pinned. ʹYou donʹt support them, do you?ʹ ʹYeah, I do,ʹ said Cho. ʹHave you always supported them, or just since they started winning the league?ʹ said Ron, in what Harry considered an unnecessarily accusatory tone of voice.Q4 - Is Ron a moron?Q5 - Do you think Harry and Cho will get together?Q6 - Which class would you want to attend during Harry's first day?Q7 - What's your first impression of Umbridge?Q8 - Was Harry smart to talk back to Umbridge?Q9 - What do you think the detention will be?ʹWell?ʹ said Professor McGonagall, rounding on him. ʹIs this true?ʹ ʹIs what true?ʹ Harry asked, rather more aggressively than he had intended. ʹProfessor?ʹ he added, in an attempt to sound more polite. ʹIs it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?ʹ ʹYes,ʹ said Harry. ʹYou called her a liar?ʹ ʹYes.ʹ ʹYou told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?ʹ ʹYes.ʹ Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, watching Harry closely. Then she said, ʹHave a biscuit, Potter.ʹ Q10 - Thoughts on McGonagall and her warning?

“Media is not math. And anyone who's looking at media from a mathematical perspective is going to end up with the wrong answer and no competitive advantage. Media is human behavior.” Chris Binns, (Chief Strategy Officer, Open X, WPP) The Media Roundtable is back!

In this episode, we discuss some of the most underrated professors at Hogwarts. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Audible Announcement·      2:38 Slughorn. With all the events of the Half Blood Prince we look over his appointment as the potion's professor after a while, but that is a mistake. He introduces us to many facets of magic that become important later and his guidance in potions becomes quite valuable.·      8:36 Flitwick. We talk about our favorite charms professor often, but not about how much he gave Harry. Some of the most basic and most important spells that the trio and the rest of the students use come from charms class. He also conducts the school's frog chorus.·      12:36 Snape. We discuss Snape a bunch, but not how hard he works and how much he is vilified. We see him as the big bad professor that exists to put Harry down and be a big bully. It is a real shame that it takes until after his death to realize that he was working hard for many years to keep Harry safe.·      17:30 Binns. What a guy. First of all, he teaches a boring class according to the students and he is very dedicated to the history of magic. He is so dedicated in fact that one day he died and he just kept on teaching. He left his body behind and continued on.·      19:57 Sinistra. The astronomy professor is one who we never talk about. She works in the background and in completely invisible. But she has to wake up very late a lot of teach the students a fascinating part of magic.·      22:39 Madame Pince. The library is extremely important! And we never talk about the librarian. If you need to find a book or find some piece of knowledge, she is the one to talk to. She also probably keeps Dumbledore up to date on the status of the library.·      26:06 Madame Pomfrey. She heals all and can bring a quick fix to any problem with a student's health. She grew Harry's arm back! Without Madame Pomfrey, we would be reading about a much more deadly castle.Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.

Product development has long been undergoing a digital revolution, but the pandemic pushed these efforts into overdrive. Today, fashion companies continue to experiment with digital product creation software, and one of the main ingredients required is virtual materials. Even ahead of 3D design's work-from-home boost, research and promotion organization Cotton Incorporated was supporting the industry's digital switch with FABRICAST™, a library of cotton-rich materials that can be used in programs like CLO and Browzwear. Cotton Incorporated continues to grow this range of virtual fabrics and develop new ways for the industry to explore its offerings. A prime example of this is Cotton Incorporated's virtual showroom, which was launched in November.  Virtual visitors can “walk” through the showroom to view prototypes of garments made from FABRICAST™ textiles in categories such as activewear and denim. “It's sort of like a native environment for digital fashion and digital fabrics,” said Katherine Absher, manager, fashion and digital design marketing in the Global Supply Chain Marketing Department at Cotton Incorporated, during a fireside chat with Jessica Binns in December. “And we use it to show brands, mills and…students what our fabrics could be and how they could be used, and what they could be doing with cotton in digital product creation.” In this conversation, Absher and Binns discuss the development of the showroom and Cotton Incorporated's other efforts to encourage the industry and students to create fashion digitally.

ChatGPT Welcome to part 2 of the Corporate Explorer series.

Brought to you by Wazoku, the Corporate Explorer series is designed to uncover the depth of insight and experience within corporations, beyond the realm of management gurus and academics. In May 2022, Andy attended a conference at Bosch that sparked the inspiration for this episode, revealing the wealth of knowledge within corporations about corporate exploration. The episode kicks off with a discussion on turning high-level corporate statements into empowering Strategy Manifestos. Co-authored by long-time client Andreas Brandstetter, Chapter 1 explores the crucial role of manifestos in aligning senior leaders on strategic ambitions and communicating these ambitions effectively. Andy shares personal experiences as a corporate explorer, emphasizing the importance of a clear strategy. The Strategy Manifesto, while not a replacement for detailed strategy plans, makes explicit the company's strategic choices and provides the rationale for those decisions. Discover the key element of the manifesto – portfolio allocation. Learn how companies can change their approach to R&D investment to focus on cross-business priorities, including areas of withdrawal or deliberate non-entry. Moving on to the execution of the manifesto, Andy outlines five steps: developing a point of view, assembling facts and perspectives, drafting and iterating, addressing disagreements, and adapting for different audiences. The episode concludes with five powerful approaches for corporate explorers to trigger change within their organizations. From outside-in exploration to cultivating sponsors, each approach requires time and commitment but holds the potential to create bottom-up pressure that shifts action at the top.
