As detailed in The Japanese Garden: Ella Christie and Cowden (Birlinn, 2026) by Lucy Stewart, at the turn of the twentieth century, Scottish adventurer Ella Christie returned home from a trip to Japan inspired to build her own Japanese garden. As might be expected from a woman who thought nothing of travelling to the other side of the world in search of the unusual, Ella's approach to developing the garden was trailblazing. She chose a female designer – the gifted Taki Handa – to create the seven-acre site in the grounds of Cowden Castle, near the Scottish town of Dollar. In doing so, the Japanese Garden at Cowden became the first and only garden of its size and scale to be designed by a woman. It remains a unique and utterly authentic bridge between British and Japanese culture. This book tells the remarkable story of Ella Christie, her travels and the creation of her garden, its gradual decline and triumphant restoration. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

How good are the arts?! How good are people who work in the arts?! Wouldn't it be awesome if someone interviewed a bunch of these creative people and made a podcast for everyone to listen to?! Well, you're in luck! Welcome to The Creative Pod, an Australian-based podcast where I, Leya Mackus, chat to an array of artsy individuals working across various creative industries. Join me as I find out about what they do, why they do it, and discuss the importance of arts in our world today. Each episode, I will speak with a creative to hear about the goings-on in their creative life and in their pocket of the arts world. Think performers, directors, musicians, writers, actors, dancers, artists, designers, etc. The intention is to highlight the incredible work and people within Australia's creative industries, and bring insight and inspiration to other existing or aspiring creatives and young people. We'll unpack different creative industries, opportunities, experiences, and challenges (and goodness knows there are lots of those in the arts!), as well as get inspired by some of the brilliant things that are happening within our country and beyond. And, most importantly, we'll hear from a variety of people who know it best, just why the arts are so important in our lives. This podcast is recorded by Radio Carrum, at Karrum Karrum, on the lands of the Bunurong People. I pay my respects to Indigenous Peoples past and present, and feel honoured to share creative stories and conversations on the land where countless creatives and stories have come before me. Episode 1 - Lucinda Cowden Lucinda Cowden is an actor, improvisor, and educator, among many things, and may be most recognisable from her role as ‘Melanie Pearson' in Neighbours. In this episode, she joins me to talk about the varying work-life of an actor, the importance of arts and soap operas in creating empathy and connection in our lives, and the consequences for our world when we undervalue the arts. She also tells us about her new works coming up as part of the Flinders Fringe Festival, on from 27th February - 1st March, 2026. Tickets and more info can be found at https://flindersfringe.com.au

Todd and Ellen discuss the news from a Catholic perspective, Dawn Beutner has our January Saints of the Month, and Debbie Cowden talks New Year's Resolutions.

How do you tell whether a zebra is male or female?The male doesn't' talk about their #raredisease.This can be hard on them. There have been very few places for them to gather to take care of their #mentalhealth. David Hogan set out to change this when the COVID pandemic threatened to isolate us all even more. David is affected by Cowden's syndrome, and his mother had the condition as well. When she died, he felt the full weight of rare disease on his own mental wellbeing. He noticed that there were many places for women to gather, but it was not a great place for men to show their vulnerabilities. We needed something different. David took action and started inviting men in the rare disease community into conversation. Those conversations have now become the Men's Rare Wellness Forum, a monthly opportunity for the male zebras to take care of themselves and each other. All men in the rare community – patients, Dads, brothers, caregivers, and providers – are invited. You can learn more about the Men's Rare Wellness Forum by reaching out to David at mensrarediseasemh@gmail.com or searching “@mensrarediseasemh” on Instagram or David Hogan on LinkedIn

Janice Cowden, retired nurse and patient advocate, shares her remarkable triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) story. Five years following successful treatment for stage one breast cancer in 2011, Janice was diagnosed with a stage 4 metastatic TNBC recurrence. As of today she has 8 years of no evidence of disease (NED) under her belt. She shares how she stumbled upon the cancer community that inspired her to become the advocate she is today and the uncertainty that comes with NED. She also shares how she copes with losing friends in the cancer community through her patient advocacy work. We also have a rapid fire Q&A where she answers questions surrounding various medical terminologies, diagnoses, and more to keep you in the loop. NOTE: There is one clarification from the rapid fire Q&A session. The definition of disease free survival (DFS) is the time from random assignment (used in clinical trials and research studies to assign participants to different groups) to cancer recurrence or death from any cause (Gutman SI, Piper M, Grant MD, et al. 2013).Key Highlights:1. Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is stage four breast cancer that has spread to distant sites in the body.2. Finding events and communities centered around cancer not only supports cancer patients emotionally and socially, but can also serve as informational hubs. Being proactive in learning about your diagnosis, whether it's through community and/or research on your own time, can help you feel confident with the choices you make. 3. While finding a community of other cancer patients can help, unfortunately this disease means that you will lose friends you make in these settings. It doesn't necessarily get easier, but finding an outlet to cope with such losses is vital to your wellbeing.About our guest:Diagnosed with Stage IV triple negative breast cancer in 2016, five years after an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis, Janice launched into patient advocacy following training through Living Beyond Breast Cancer's (LBBC) Hear My Voice Outreach program in 2017. As a peer-to-peer support and research patient advocate, Janice is passionate about supporting others with metastatic breast cancer, in addition to continually furthering her scientific knowledge base of this disease, treatments, and clinical trials, which she acquires through attending scientific breast cancer conferences and webinars. Janice is involved with several patient-founded and led organizations including PCDI, GRASP, and Project Life MBC. As a trained peer support volunteer, she is founder of an international online peer support group for patients newly diagnosed with MBC. She serves on the Board of Directors for METAvivor Research and Support Inc., and is an Advisory Board member for Project Life MBC. She is an individual member of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance. When she's not busy with advocacy work, Janice enjoys traveling, reading, outdoor activities, and spending time with family, including her husband, two adult children and three grandchildren.Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

CancerNetwork®, in collaboration with the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT)®, hosted a Twitter/X Space during the 2025 Tandem Meetings. The live conversation featured Rahul Banerjee, MD, FACP, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and Shernan Holtan, MD, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Together, they shared expert commentary on new data in CAR T-cell therapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation.With insights drawn from posters, oral abstracts, and late-breaking presentations, the session unpacked both clinical takeaways and implications for patient care.Highlights included:LBA1 – Ide-cel + lenalidomide maintenance post-transplant in MM patients“This merges two worlds,” said Banerjee. “Not a tandem in the classic sense, but a transplant followed by CAR T.”[Garfall et al., Abstract LBA-1]Abstract 50 – Real-world CAR T use in early relapsed/refractory LBCLHoltan noted, “In this cohort, no statistical survival difference was seen between second- and third-line therapy, though the curves suggest a trend.”[Rojek et al., Abstract 50]Poster 340 – CAR T targeting CD83 in breast cancerBanerjee speculated on future innovations: “If we could deliver these locally, without systemic effects, that would be a game changer.”[Betts et al., Poster 340]Poster 317 – IEC-colitis in cilta-cel-treated patientsBanerjee reflected, “We assumed steroids would help, like with GVHD. But outcomes didn't align.”[Chang Lim et al., Poster 317]Poster 572 – Driving restrictions post-CAR TBanerjee advocated for updated policy: “Patients often can't regain full independence until driving is restored—this restriction lacks strong evidence.”[Banerjee et al., Poster 572]Presentation 58 – Physical function tests to predict ICANS and mortality“These simple tools helped flag patients unlikely to benefit from CAR T,” said Holtan. “This could refine patient selection.”[Herr et al., Presentation 58]Poster 618 – HCT outcomes for MDS patients by age groupHoltan expressed optimism: “We need conditioning regimens that are effective yet gentler—especially for older patients.”[Duarte et al., Poster 618]Presentation 39 – Immune suppression trends post-HCT (18,000+ patients)Looking ahead, Holtan predicted a shift in GVHD care: “In 10 years, steroids may no longer be our go-to.”[Pidala et al., Presentation 39]Poster 516 – Patient experiences with chronic GVHD via social media listeningHoltan emphasized the human element: “We must prioritize mental health, community support, and advocacy alongside clinical treatment.”[Cowden et al., Poster 516]The discussion emphasized not only the clinical relevance of each study but also broader themes—improving quality of life, adjusting standards of care based on real-world findings, and advancing innovation through thoughtful, patient-centered research.References:Garfall AL, et al.

A Day Inside Lori Vallow Daybell's Trial: The Photos, the Bullets, and the Warnings “You have a habit of adding things to witness answers, and when you do that, it's a form of testifying,” Judge Beresky told Lori Vallow Daybell in the final moments of the day, as court wrapped after a marathon of cross-examinations, autopsy details, and crime scene photos. By the time court adjourned at 4:34 p.m., Lori had spent hours at the podium cross-examining Chandler Police Detective Daniel Coons, trying to challenge the state's version of how Charles Vallow was shot and killed. It was her chance to unravel details about bullet trajectories, the positioning of shell casings, and whether her brother Alex Cox could've plausibly been where he claimed when the shots were fired. Coons held firm: the bullet trajectories were consistent with Charles being shot while lying on the floor, one bullet embedding in a baseboard. The shells? Just inches from the wall. And the gun, a .45 caliber semiautomatic, ejected to the right—not left, like Lori suggested might have mattered. At one point, Lori veered into the realm of firearms training, asking if center mass is what police are taught to aim for. Coons confirmed, yes—it's about stopping the threat. Then she asked if novice shooters are taught the same. He said no. It was a brief window into the angle she seemed to be aiming for, though the judge regularly reminded her to keep her own commentary out of the questioning. Photos of the home were admitted—over a hundred of them. Exterior shots. The front door. A Reebok hat on the floor. Blood pooling around Charles' body. A bat nearby. Projectiles in baseboards. Bullet casings marked with yellow placards. And in one particularly dramatic moment, a chunk of flooring was presented in court. It had been cut out to preserve a mark that investigators said was made by a bullet passing through Charles' body. Lori objected to some of the photos being admitted but was mostly overruled. The judge said the images helped the jury visualize the scene. She used some of the same photos in her cross, trying to push back on Coons' conclusions, asking if divots in walls or trajectories could have occurred differently, if maybe the shooter wasn't where Coons said. He stood his ground. Earlier in the day, Chandler Fire Captain Kent Keller testified about Charles' condition when medics arrived. Lividity and skin modeling were already setting in. His pupils were fixed. No electrical activity in the heart. CPR was initiated but quickly deemed futile. According to Keller, there was no indication anyone had attempted life-saving efforts before the fire crew arrived. The positioning of Charles' body, the small pool of blood, and the condition of his skin all suggested death had occurred some time before. Lori pressed Keller hard on the science of lividity and modeling. Could it happen in just a few minutes? Would medication change how the body looked? She floated the idea that maybe CPR had been done, just not effectively. Keller, and another paramedic named Cowden, said they saw no signs of it. In fact, they testified that effective CPR would've caused more bleeding—blood would've been forced out by the compressions. There just wasn't any, aside from the pooling underneath. At one point, Cowden described performing CPR while another EMT prepared the heart monitor. He said Charles was found with a baseball bat and ball cap nearby, but no one else was in the room. The house was otherwise empty, aside from officers clearing it. His account was backed up by Keller, who described the scene as calm, with the main objective being to assess, perform CPR, and confirm the lack of vital signs. Throughout the day, Lori tried to walk the line between playing defense attorney and defendant. She questioned procedure, timing, blood patterns, CPR protocols, and scene diagrams. But the judge frequently reminded her about courtroom boundaries. When she asked whether someone had spoken to the media, the judge called for a sidebar. When she objected to Coons' expert testimony, the judge ruled against her but gave her space to cross-examine thoroughly. As court neared the end, a small issue arose: subpoenas had been sent by the defense to detectives, but without contact info. The judge told Lori to have her investigator handle it. Also, she was reminded to flag any photo exhibits she needed by the following morning. With that, court adjourned.  #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #CrimeScene #TrueCrimeCourtroom Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Day Inside Lori Vallow Daybell's Trial: The Photos, the Bullets, and the Warnings “You have a habit of adding things to witness answers, and when you do that, it's a form of testifying,” Judge Beresky told Lori Vallow Daybell in the final moments of the day, as court wrapped after a marathon of cross-examinations, autopsy details, and crime scene photos. By the time court adjourned at 4:34 p.m., Lori had spent hours at the podium cross-examining Chandler Police Detective Daniel Coons, trying to challenge the state's version of how Charles Vallow was shot and killed. It was her chance to unravel details about bullet trajectories, the positioning of shell casings, and whether her brother Alex Cox could've plausibly been where he claimed when the shots were fired. Coons held firm: the bullet trajectories were consistent with Charles being shot while lying on the floor, one bullet embedding in a baseboard. The shells? Just inches from the wall. And the gun, a .45 caliber semiautomatic, ejected to the right—not left, like Lori suggested might have mattered. At one point, Lori veered into the realm of firearms training, asking if center mass is what police are taught to aim for. Coons confirmed, yes—it's about stopping the threat. Then she asked if novice shooters are taught the same. He said no. It was a brief window into the angle she seemed to be aiming for, though the judge regularly reminded her to keep her own commentary out of the questioning. Photos of the home were admitted—over a hundred of them. Exterior shots. The front door. A Reebok hat on the floor. Blood pooling around Charles' body. A bat nearby. Projectiles in baseboards. Bullet casings marked with yellow placards. And in one particularly dramatic moment, a chunk of flooring was presented in court. It had been cut out to preserve a mark that investigators said was made by a bullet passing through Charles' body. Lori objected to some of the photos being admitted but was mostly overruled. The judge said the images helped the jury visualize the scene. She used some of the same photos in her cross, trying to push back on Coons' conclusions, asking if divots in walls or trajectories could have occurred differently, if maybe the shooter wasn't where Coons said. He stood his ground. Earlier in the day, Chandler Fire Captain Kent Keller testified about Charles' condition when medics arrived. Lividity and skin modeling were already setting in. His pupils were fixed. No electrical activity in the heart. CPR was initiated but quickly deemed futile. According to Keller, there was no indication anyone had attempted life-saving efforts before the fire crew arrived. The positioning of Charles' body, the small pool of blood, and the condition of his skin all suggested death had occurred some time before. Lori pressed Keller hard on the science of lividity and modeling. Could it happen in just a few minutes? Would medication change how the body looked? She floated the idea that maybe CPR had been done, just not effectively. Keller, and another paramedic named Cowden, said they saw no signs of it. In fact, they testified that effective CPR would've caused more bleeding—blood would've been forced out by the compressions. There just wasn't any, aside from the pooling underneath.

Breaking Down Lori Vallow Daybell's Delusional Role As Her Own Attorney A Dead Man, a Doomsday Plan, and 47 Minutes of Silence Charles Vallow was shot twice inside a house he paid for. He lay dead on the floor for 47 minutes before anyone bothered to call 911. And now, the woman once married to him—Lori Vallow Daybell—is on trial for conspiring to make that happen. This isn't Idaho. It's Maricopa County, Arizona. But the woman at the center of the story is the same: convicted murderer, former beauty queen, five-time wife, and self-proclaimed spiritual warrior who believed people could become “zombies” possessed by evil spirits. In this trial, Lori isn't just the defendant—she's also her own attorney. Representing herself, cross-examining witnesses, and objecting to testimony as she fights charges that she orchestrated the murder of her estranged husband in 2019. According to prosecutors, Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could cash in on a $1 million life insurance policy and clear the way to marry Chad Daybell—an LDS fiction author and her apocalyptic soulmate. They say this wasn't spontaneous. It was a plan rooted in delusion and tied up in scripture. Days before the shooting, Lori texted Alex: “It's all coming to a head this week. I will be like Nephi, I am told, and so will you.” In LDS scripture, Nephi is known for killing a man because God commanded it. On the morning of July 11, 2019, Charles texted Lori's other brother, Adam, with a warning: “They're planning something.” Adam replied, “Absolutely.” Charles showed up at Lori's Chandler home to pick up their son, JJ. He never made it out alive. The first shot went through his chest and pierced his heart. He fell. Then, according to testimony and forensic evidence, a second shot was fired from above, traveling downward into the floor, where the bullet lodged in a baseboard across the room. Maricopa County firefighter Scott Cowden testified that when he arrived, Charles was already cold. No pulse, no breath, no attempt at CPR. Cowden, who teaches CPR for a living, said he knew right away no one had tried to save Charles. When he started compressions, he felt the telltale crunch of an untouched chest cavity. It's the grim equivalent of walking into a house and smelling smoke—you just know. What Cowden didn't see? Blood. Aside from the pooling around Charles's body, there was nothing. No trail down the hall. No mess in the kitchen. No bloody towels, napkins, or paper—despite Alex's claim that he'd been holding his bleeding head. Cowden said the paper towel Alex had was mostly clean. He also noticed Alex didn't look injured. Didn't act it either. He described him as calm, nonchalant. Sunglasses still perched on his head, perfectly balanced and unbothered—odd for someone who supposedly just wrestled with a former semi-pro baseball player. Then there's the silence. Lori left the house with JJ and Tylee, taking Charles's rental car. She went to Burger King, then Walgreens, then dropped JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice while out. Still, neither of them called for help until 47 minutes had passed. Lori told officers she fled the scene in fear. That Charles had come at her with a bat. That Alex had to step in. But investigators say the entire story was staged. In court, prosecutors pointed to Lori's motive: Charles had secretly changed the beneficiary on his life insurance policy months earlier. Lori was out. His sister, Kay Woodcock, was in. After Charles's death, Lori called the insurance company—and only then learned she wasn't getting the money. She texted Chad Daybell: “He changed it in March. It was probably Ned before we got rid of him.” “Ned” was the name she gave the evil spirit she believed had overtaken Charles. Witnesses will testify that Lori claimed Charles was possessed and needed to be “cast out.” That she led a group of women in a spiritual exorcism. That she talked about drugging Charles with JJ's crushed pills. That Alex openly said he wanted Charles dead. One witness, Christina, said Lori brushed off her concerns by saying she was joking. A month later, Charles was dead. Now Lori sits in the courtroom—wearing a navy suit, flipping through notes, calling witnesses, and sparring with the prosecution. When firefighter Cowden testified that no CPR had been given, she pressed him. Asked whether cracking the sternum was guaranteed. Asked about blood patterns. Asked about technique. But Cowden didn't budge. He said everything he saw—everything he didn't see—told him no one had tried to save Charles. Another firefighter, Captain Kent Keller, backed him up. He described the scene as eerily tidy. Charles's body was in the middle of an empty room. No overturned furniture. No signs of chaos. Just a bat, a ball cap, and a dead man on the floor. Keller told the jury it looked like Charles had been dead for some time before they got there. Lividity and modeling had already set in. Blood had pooled beneath him. His pupils were fixed. And the detail that stuck with Keller? That everything about the room—the setup, the silence, the strange calm—just felt off. #LoriVallowDaybell #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down Lori Vallow Daybell's Delusional Role As Her Own Attorney A Dead Man, a Doomsday Plan, and 47 Minutes of Silence Charles Vallow was shot twice inside a house he paid for. He lay dead on the floor for 47 minutes before anyone bothered to call 911. And now, the woman once married to him—Lori Vallow Daybell—is on trial for conspiring to make that happen. This isn't Idaho. It's Maricopa County, Arizona. But the woman at the center of the story is the same: convicted murderer, former beauty queen, five-time wife, and self-proclaimed spiritual warrior who believed people could become “zombies” possessed by evil spirits. In this trial, Lori isn't just the defendant—she's also her own attorney. Representing herself, cross-examining witnesses, and objecting to testimony as she fights charges that she orchestrated the murder of her estranged husband in 2019. According to prosecutors, Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could cash in on a $1 million life insurance policy and clear the way to marry Chad Daybell—an LDS fiction author and her apocalyptic soulmate. They say this wasn't spontaneous. It was a plan rooted in delusion and tied up in scripture. Days before the shooting, Lori texted Alex: “It's all coming to a head this week. I will be like Nephi, I am told, and so will you.” In LDS scripture, Nephi is known for killing a man because God commanded it. On the morning of July 11, 2019, Charles texted Lori's other brother, Adam, with a warning: “They're planning something.” Adam replied, “Absolutely.” Charles showed up at Lori's Chandler home to pick up their son, JJ. He never made it out alive. The first shot went through his chest and pierced his heart. He fell. Then, according to testimony and forensic evidence, a second shot was fired from above, traveling downward into the floor, where the bullet lodged in a baseboard across the room. Maricopa County firefighter Scott Cowden testified that when he arrived, Charles was already cold. No pulse, no breath, no attempt at CPR. Cowden, who teaches CPR for a living, said he knew right away no one had tried to save Charles. When he started compressions, he felt the telltale crunch of an untouched chest cavity. It's the grim equivalent of walking into a house and smelling smoke—you just know. What Cowden didn't see? Blood. Aside from the pooling around Charles's body, there was nothing. No trail down the hall. No mess in the kitchen. No bloody towels, napkins, or paper—despite Alex's claim that he'd been holding his bleeding head. Cowden said the paper towel Alex had was mostly clean. He also noticed Alex didn't look injured. Didn't act it either. He described him as calm, nonchalant. Sunglasses still perched on his head, perfectly balanced and unbothered—odd for someone who supposedly just wrestled with a former semi-pro baseball player. Then there's the silence. Lori left the house with JJ and Tylee, taking Charles's rental car. She went to Burger King, then Walgreens, then dropped JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice while out. Still, neither of them called for help until 47 minutes had passed. Lori told officers she fled the scene in fear. That Charles had come at her with a bat. That Alex had to step in. But investigators say the entire story was staged. In court, prosecutors pointed to Lori's motive: Charles had secretly changed the beneficiary on his life insurance policy months earlier. Lori was out. His sister, Kay Woodcock, was in. After Charles's death, Lori called the insurance company—and only then learned she wasn't getting the money. She texted Chad Daybell: “He changed it in March. It was probably Ned before we got rid of him.” “Ned” was the name she gave the evil spirit she believed had overtaken Charles. Witnesses will testify that Lori claimed Charles was possessed and needed to be “cast out.” That she led a group of women in a spiritual exorcism. That she talked about drugging Charles with JJ's crushed pills. That Alex openly said he wanted Charles dead. One witness, Christina, said Lori brushed off her concerns by saying she was joking. A month later, Charles was dead. Now Lori sits in the courtroom—wearing a navy suit, flipping through notes, calling witnesses, and sparring with the prosecution. When firefighter Cowden testified that no CPR had been given, she pressed him. Asked whether cracking the sternum was guaranteed. Asked about blood patterns. Asked about technique. But Cowden didn't budge. He said everything he saw—everything he didn't see—told him no one had tried to save Charles. Another firefighter, Captain Kent Keller, backed him up. He described the scene as eerily tidy. Charles's body was in the middle of an empty room. No overturned furniture. No signs of chaos. Just a bat, a ball cap, and a dead man on the floor. Keller told the jury it looked like Charles had been dead for some time before they got there. Lividity and modeling had already set in. Blood had pooled beneath him. His pupils were fixed. And the detail that stuck with Keller? That everything about the room—the setup, the silence, the strange calm—just felt off. #LoriVallowDaybell #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
