Antonia Barnett McIntosh is a Tāmaki-based Composer, performer, sound artist, editor and curator. Her multidisciplinary practice often seeks out various modes of connection through collaboration. Collaborating between the threshold spaces of speech/music, performance/rehearsal, composition/writing. Drawing connections between mediums, finding this  mutual thread between artistic outputs to build upon. Often working with musicians, dancers, poets, visual artists, and Filmmakers.  In her current exhibition at RM, A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies Barnett McIntosh presents a beautiful sound installation which comprises captured moments of field recordings, and speech. Applying this musical thought to speech, that approaches speech as an instrument in istelf—tunning into its inherent musicality. Reflecting on this in-between state of the live and the documented dwelling in one's mind and body.  The sound work itself is dispersed across four channels, creating a dynamic sonic landscape that morphs and shifts, as one moves around the space. Alongside the sound installation Barnett McIntosh offers this secondary mode of documentation within the show text, through a piece of writing, by writer Lisa Samuels. Samuels will also be involved in a collaborative activation of the gallery space with Barnett McIntosh, through a series of performances. Emphasising the active liveliness of the gallery space and the circulative artistic discourse.  Maya caught up with Antonia about the show, as well as her overall practice.

From time to time Spurgeon preaches a sermon from multiple texts. Some of these are by way of development, some by way of contrast, some by way of confirmation and reiteration. This sermon belongs to that last category. The same phrase occurs in each text: “Lay hold on eternal life.” Emphasising first the vital important of knowing and obtaining this life, and therefore the need for every man to lay hold upon it, the preacher then begins to plead and enforce the exhortation. We are to believe in it as it is presented in the Scriptures and impressed upon us by the Holy Spirit—it must be more than an idea to us. We must possess it, laying hold of it by putting our faith in Jesus Christ and working it out in all our actions. We must watch over it, for it is too easily shrivelled and undermined. We need to fulfil it, living here as those who have this life everlasting in our souls, with its realities conditioning our use of our time and strength. Then, we need to expect it—we must eagerly anticipate it as something that we enter fully before very long. How much do we consider eternal life? Perhaps even as Christians it tends to fade into the background. Spurgeon rescues it from neglect, and sets it before our eyes, front and centre, and very much within present grasp.

With the prospect of the Assisted Dying Bill being resurrected as early as this summer, instead of being allowed to die a dignified and permanent death, it is important that we do not rest on our laurels. While the next month or so will be a welcome respite to organisations like UKMFA, Right to Life, Care Not Killing and Christian Concern, a few of the many individuals and organisations who have worked tirelessly to stop Assisted Suicide becoming law, it looks inevitable that we will face a serious fight again very soon. With that in mind, this conversation with Amanda Hunter, co-founder of Unlock Care Homes and FAIME (Families Against Involuntary Medical Euthanasia) is the first in a series of interviews we are conducting, dedicated to scrutinising all aspects of Assisted Suicide and the attempts to make it legal in the UK.This fascinating and informative conversation delves into the complexities and controversies of the Bill and the intense scrutiny and challenges it faced in the House of Lords. Amanda highlights the concerns raised by medical professionals, the serious implications for vulnerable populations, and the current state of palliative care. Emphasising the dangers of the bill to us all, the lack of public support, and the ethical considerations that must be addressed before any legislation can be safely implemented, if that is indeed possible at all.CALL TO ACTION - Right to Life (https://righttolife.org.uk/ascommons2026) and Care Not Killing (https://carenotkilling.uk/priorities/) have easy email tools to contact your MP to urge them to oppose any attempts to force assisted suicide into law with the use of the Parliament Acts.UK Medical Freedom Alliance freely offers this video and article.

Steven welcomes the one-and-only Tom Skinner, the market trader turned TV personality, to discuss his journey from humble beginnings to fame on The Apprentice. Tom shares his experiences in the vibrant world of market trading, emphasising the resilience and quick-wittedness it instilled in him. They discuss his optimistic outlook on life, the importance of mental health advocacy, and his efforts to create a supportive community for men through Sunday walks. Tom also reflects on the challenges of fame, including media scrutiny and public perception, while highlighting the invaluable lessons learned from Lord Sugar Key Takeaways Maintaining a positive outlook is crucial for personal well-being. Emphasising the importance of believing in oneself, even during tough times, can lead to better outcomes and a more fulfilling life. Engaging in community activities, such as organised walks for men to discuss mental health, can create a supportive environment. This initiative helps break down barriers around discussing feelings and encourages men to support one another. Growing up in a market trading environment fosters resilience and quick-wittedness. The experience teaches valuable lessons in sales, communication, and handling rejection, which are essential skills in both business and life. Being genuine and honest about one's strengths and weaknesses is vital. Recognising that not everyone is a perfect business person, but rather a skilled salesperson, can lead to more realistic expectations and success. BEST MOMENTS "I know what it's like to have everything. I know what it's like to have nothing. As long as you stay positive and believe in yourself, you're always going to be all right." "Suicide is the biggest killer of men our age... It's having that anxiety, or not feeling safe talking about it. This is just a little safe space that we've created where anyone can come." "I ain't gonna say no one's names, but they've told me that it saved their life, that it's made them a lot happier. If it helps one person, that's what it's all about." VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠The Steven Sulley Study ⁠ ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual.

Most people overcomplicate leadership. They're looking for the next framework, trying to do technical leadership that just doesn't work. Paul Adamson spent 25 years sailing yachts around the world—including two years circumnavigating with Eddie Jordan on an Oyster 885—and he learned that leadership isn't about theory. It's about making decisions without all the information, leading from the front, and remaining calm when the pressure is on. Then he walked into Oyster Yachts (the manufacturer of those luxury yachts) when it went into administration, won it out of admin by deliberately breaking the rules, and rebuilt it from zero to a £200M order book with 700 employees in four years.In this episode, Paul reveals why great leaders are energy-rich (not uninspiring boring managers), why you can't KPI great leadership, and why the three levers of state management—focus, inner dialogue, and movement—underpin everything in business. He shares his Virgin Atlantic story about blagging a gold card, getting upgraded to upper class by a flight manager who knew when to break the rules, and how copying Richard Branson into an Instagram post led to a phone call that changed everything. He also opens up about being diagnosed with lymphoma two weeks after leaving Oyster, how he applied everything he'd taught for years to his own health challenge, and why that gift led him to help raise £3M for follicular lymphoma research that could unlock cures for pancreatic cancer, leukaemia, and other incurables.What you'll learn:⚡ Why great leaders are energy-rich and how to manage your state (focus, inner dialogue, movement)

This compelling address explores leadership, democracy, and the urgent need for electoral reform in South Africa.

The Schooldays.ie Teachers of Ireland Survey 2026, which gathered responses from 1,838 teachers across Early Years, Preschool, Primary, Secondary and Special Education, provides one of the most comprehensive snapshots of the profession in Ireland today. The research found that nearly three quarters of teachers describe themselves as either extremely proud or very proud to be teachers, highlighting the enduring passion many educators feel for their work despite the daily challenges of the classroom. At the same time, the findings reveal growing concerns about workload, resources and whether teachers' voices are being heard by policymakers. Richard Murphy, Owner of Schooldays.ie, said the survey aims to give teachers a platform to share their experiences and perspectives; "This research provides a valuable snapshot of the teaching landscape in Ireland today and highlights both the dedication of teachers and the challenges they face. By listening to their voices, we can help inform future discussions about education policy and the supports needed for both teachers and students." Teachers motivated by desire to make a difference According to the survey, the primary motivations for entering the profession are rooted in purpose rather than lifestyle. 41.1% cited a love of learning and education. 28.1% of teachers said they chose the profession because of a desire to make a difference. 24.2% said they were inspired by a teacher from their own schooldays. Interestingly, factors often associated with teaching — such as job stability or summer holidays – were far less influential in motivating people to pursue the profession. Commenting on the findings around teacher motivation and commitment, Dr Declan Fahie, Director of School Placement, Deputy Director of the Professional Master of Education (PME), UCD, said: "I am not surprised by the findings that, despite the daily challenges of navigating an ever-evolving educational landscape, the vast majority of teachers remain deeply committed to both their profession and to the pupils they teach. "Contrary to popular belief, long summer holidays were not a significant motivation for entering the profession; rather, more intrinsic factor – such as a love of learning and a desire to make a difference – were far more influential. Emphasising the vital role teachers play in young people's lives, almost a quarter of respondents reported that they were inspired to teach by a teacher from their own schooldays." Teachers going above and beyond The survey also highlights the level of dedication within the profession. More than three quarters (75.8%) of teachers say they go above and beyond their contracted hours every day, with a fifth (21.1%) doing so a few times a week. When asked what gives them the most satisfaction in their role, 55.4% of teachers said seeing students progress was the most rewarding aspect of their job, followed by supporting children emotionally and building relationships with families. Teachers also reported that the profession strengthens a range of essential skills including patience, communication, emotional resilience and problem-solving. Almost all teachers stated they were proud of their profession with nearly 40% of teachers stating they feel extremely proud to be a teacher, while a further 33.8% said they are very proud. Concerns over senior cycle reforms and resources The survey also examined teachers' views on the introduction of Continuous Assessment Components as part of Senior Cycle reform. While many teachers see potential benefits in reducing pressure on a single final exam and recognising a broader range of student strengths, concerns remain around the practical implementation of the new system. However, concerns remain. In response to what their biggest concern is about the move towards continuous assessment, a third (32.9%) said consistency and fairness across schools, over a quarter (25.9%) said increased workload for teachers, 22.4% pointed to time and r...

Dr. Sunil Gupta provided detailed guidance on diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance, and lifestyle-related health risks. He explained that diabetes management must be individualised, with treatment goals varying according to age, duration of diabetes, and associated conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver disease. Modern diabetes medications, he noted, not only help control blood sugar but also offer protective benefits for vital organs. Dr. Gupta highlighted that rising obesity, reduced physical activity, excessive screen time, and rapid lifestyle changes have made Indians especially vulnerable to diabetes. He explained the role of insulin resistance, visceral (abdominal) fat, and genetic factors, stressing that waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio are more important risk markers than body weight alone. The discussion also covered fasting and post-meal blood sugar patterns, dawn phenomenon, Somogyi effect, and the importance of correct insulin dosing. Emphasising prevention, Dr. Gupta stated that prediabetes can be reversed through lifestyle modification, including regular exercise, weight control, and healthy eating, often without medication. He concluded by describing diabetes as a lifestyle condition rather than a disease, urging people to focus on early testing, sustained lifestyle discipline, and long-term awareness to prevent complications.

Most talks are totally forgettable because they never land emotionally and logically. If you want real impact — the kind that people remember, repeat, and act on — you need to stop "delivering content" and start designing attention through voice, pacing, phrasing, and purposeful movement.  Why are most presentations forgettable, even when the content is "good"? Because information doesn't stick — impact does. Most presentations are heavy on data and light on connection, so audiences can't remember the speaker, the topic, or both, even a day later. In a post-pandemic, mobile-first attention economy (think 2020s Zoom fatigue plus constant notifications), your audience can disappear in seconds — two or three taps and they're in "distraction heaven". The irony is that many speakers feel impressive at the front of the room, but the audience experiences monotone delivery as a kind of "presenter white noise". Compare it to business: a strategy deck in a shared drive is rarely "scintillating", but a skilled leader can bring the same content alive through delivery. In Japan, Australia, the US, or Europe, the mechanism is the same: if the audience isn't touched (emotion + logic), the message doesn't travel. Do now (answer card): Impact = emotional + logical resonance. Design for attention, not just accuracy. How do you use word emphasis to make your message land? Emphasising key words changes meaning and makes ideas memorable. When every word is delivered with the same weight, your message flattens out — and audiences tune out. The fix is simple: stress the words that carry the intention. Take the phrase "This makes a tremendous difference." Hit different words and you get different implications: THIS(contrast), MAKES (causation), TREMENDOUS (scale), DIFFERENCE (outcome).  This works across contexts: whether you're a SaaS founder pitching in Singapore, a multinational leader briefing in Tokyo, or a sales director presenting to a procurement team in the US, emphasis helps listeners hear the headline inside the sentence. It's also an executive credibility tool: it signals certainty and prioritisation, not verbal mush. Do now (answer card): Pick 3–5 "load-bearing" words per section and punch them. Make your audience hear your priorities. Why do pauses increase attention (and stop people scrolling)? Pauses are a pattern interrupt that drags attention back to you. When you stop speaking, the contrast is so sharp that people who were mentally wandering snap back. That's why a well-timed pause creates anticipation — it makes the next sentence feel important. In live rooms it works because silence is social pressure; on video calls it works because silence is unusual and therefore noticeable. Most presenters under-use pauses because they fear awkwardness. But doubling the length of your current pauses — even in just two moments — increases impact because it forces processing time. It also reduces "verbal clutter" and improves perceived authority, especially for leaders and subject-matter experts who want to sound decisive rather than frantic. Do now (answer card): Add two deliberate pauses: one before your key point, one after it. Let the room absorb the idea.   How do pacing and modulation stop you sounding monotone? Variety in speed and strength keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. Pacing is your emphasis dial: slow down to spotlight meaning, speed up briefly for contrast, then return to normal. The goal isn't "fast talking" — it's controlled variation. A steady pace with no contrast becomes hypnotic in the wrong way. Modulation matters even more if your default delivery is flat. The article notes that Japanese is often described as a monotone language, which means speakers may need to inject extra variety through speed and strength to create highs and lows.   Think of a classical orchestra: if it only played crescendos or only soft lulls, it would be unbearable. Your voice needs both. Do now (answer card): Mark your script: SLOW (key line), FAST (brief energy burst), LOW (serious), HIGH (optimistic). Build contrast on purpose.   What makes phrasing memorable — and how do you create "sticky" lines? Memorable phrasing uses patterns the brain likes: alliteration, rhyme, and contrast. Great presenters don't just explain; they package. A simple shift like "hero to zero" sticks because it's rhythmic, punchy, and easy to repeat — which is the whole point.   When people repeat your phrase, your message travels without you. This is useful across roles: salespeople need repeatable value statements, executives need quotable strategy, and team leaders need language that anchors culture. In Japan vs. the US, the style may change (more subtle in Japan, more direct in the US), but the mechanics are universal: make it short, make it patterned, make it tied to an outcome. Do now (answer card): Create 2 "sticky lines" for your talk: a contrast pair (X to Y) and a rhythmic three-part phrase. How should you use movement and gestures without distracting people? Movement should have a purpose — otherwise it steals attention from your message. Gestures are powerful when they match what you're saying, because they add strength and clarity. But there's a rule: hold a gesture for a maximum of about 15 seconds; after that, its power drops and it becomes visual noise.  The bigger danger is pacing up and down like a caged tiger — it distracts audiences and looks like nervous energy, not leadership. In boardrooms, conference stages, and hybrid setups, the principle is the same: move to signal something (transition, emphasis, audience inclusion), then stop. Stillness can be as impactful as motion when it's intentional. Do now (answer card): Plan your movement: "I step forward for the key point, I step sideways for contrast, I stop for the close." No random wandering. Conclusion Communicating with greater impact isn't about being louder or more dramatic — it's about being more deliberate. When you combine word emphasis, pauses, pacing, modulation, memorable phrasing, and purposeful movement, you stop sounding like everyone else. And that's the real advantage: most speakers stay stuck in the same groove, losing their audience. You become the person who holds attention, lands the message, and strengthens your professional brand.  Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Over the last fifteen years, living and ministering in South Asia, Brian, a leader with Operation Mobilisation, has witnessed numerous changes. One aspect that hasn't changed is openness to the gospel. Brian explains where Christian persecution usually begins and how it can feature a mix of family, community, and/or the government coming against the church and against new followers of Jesus. Emphasising that God is the one who changes hearts and minds, Brian shares how, when we read the New Testament, we see that God is sovereign even over the persecution He allows His children to endure. "[Christian persecution] causes believers to grow in their faith." Brian says, "I think it's a real witness that this faith is so much bigger than what is happening to me in this world."

Stop worrying about the how, instead focus on what do you actually want to achieve." "The early bird catches the worm, take action.

⚠️ This was recorded for my UK Column show. Please keep us independent by supporting us.Bruce Fenton, a British researcher and author renowned for his meticulous exploration of human origins, challenges the conventional 'out of Africa' model in his thought-provoking work, notably his book The Forgotten Exodus, which features a foreword by acclaimed writer Graham Hancock. With a unique blend of expertise in finance, technology, and ancient history, Bruce has dedicated years to studying genetic data, archaeological evidence, and historical texts. He argues that Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, played a pivotal role in the evolutionary narrative of modern humans. Emphasising genetic diversity, he advocates for a multi-regional perspective, suggesting that various human populations across the globe contributed to our species' development. He also delves into the controversial notion of intelligent intervention—potentially ancient genetic manipulation or extraterrestrial influence—adding complexity to the discourse. He confronts the debates surrounding these theories head-on, presenting compelling evidence that Southeast Asia was a critical hub for the emergence of modern humans, thus questioning the traditional focus on Africa as the sole cradle of humanity.Bruce on X: https://x.com/GeologicalSETI

After working with and speaking to so many women with ADHD, through coaching, the podcast, this community and my own journey, I knew there was a need for a resource that goes beyond just managing ADHD.I wanted to create something that helps women truly thrive and live authentic and good lives with ADHD rather than just cope with it.

I know how frustrating it can be when the typical advice doesn't work for you, which is why this toolkit is all about finding what does. It's a guide to understanding yourself, building supportive habits, and creating a life that aligns with your needs rather than forcing yourself into a one-size-fits-all approach.Key Takeaways:

Angela shares practical tips for downregulating the nervous system amidst the busy period of the holiday season. Emphasising the importance of integrating small, manageable practices into daily routines, Angela highlights techniques such as post-workout relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, and the benefits of Zone 2 training. KEY TAKEAWAYS Incorporate short practices throughout the day, such as deep breathing or lying down for a minute after intense exercise, to help downregulate the nervous system and improve overall well-being. Engage in moderate-intensity activities, like casual walking, which can benefit the endocrine and immune systems without the pressure of high-intensity workouts. Taking short breaks (e.g., 10 minutes) between meetings can help maintain calmness and reduce stress, allowing for better focus and efficiency. Alternate between high-intensity cognitive tasks and low-intensity activities to optimise productivity and reduce cognitive fatigue. Avoid excessive task switching to prevent attention residue. BEST MOMENTS "What we want to do is just remind ourselves that sometimes it's about less doing and more being." "Never underestimate the power of these tiny practices because it's these small things that cumulatively really add up." "When people take breaks between meetings, they remain much calmer." "You can do a breath walk, but it doesn't have to be intense; just being in nature has so many benefits."

After 20 years in a relationship that limited and stifled her, former advertising professional, turned fitness pioneer and award-winning entrepreneur, Vicki Anstey became (age 41) one of the first ever women to participate in Channel 4's ‘SAS Who Dares Wins', reaching the final stages after 11 days in extreme conditions at an altitude of 3,000ft in Chile. In 2021, she and 2 other women, the Girls Who Dare, set a new World Record for rowing unaided across the Pacific Ocean, confronting her fear of deep, open water to do so. It took 60 days, 17 hours and 6 minutes. Her latest endeavour (a second Guinness World Record) was to cycle 3,000 miles in the ‘World's Toughest Bike Race' as a team of four women from West to East coast America in just 6 days 19 hours and 38 minutes. Vicki has also completed ultra distance runs (covering 250kms and carrying everything she needed to survive) in some of the World's most extreme environments – crossing the Arctic in temperatures of -35 degrees and the Savannnahs of Kenya in blistering 50 degree heat. *** Don't miss out on the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!
