The Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine: An Anatomy of the Holodomor (CIUS Press, 2018) is a distillation of thirty years of study of the topic by one of Ukraine's leading historians. In this account, Stanislav Kulchytsky ably incorporates a vast array of sources and literature that have become available in the past three decades into a highly readable narrative, explaining the motives, circumstances and course of this terrible crime against humanity. As the author shows, the Holodomor was triggered by the Bolshevik effort to build a communist socioeconomic order in the Soviet Union. For the peasant majority of the population, this meant the forcible collectivization of individual farms, the seizure of livestock and farm implements, and the conversion of independent farmers into agricultural laborers. Excessive requisitioning of grain and other foodstuffs in the collectivization drive led to famine and deaths in grain-producing regions of the USSR by early 1932. In Ukraine, punitive measures authorized by the Kremlin's top leadership greatly worsened the famine in late 1932 and turned it into the Holodomor, which claimed more than three million lives in the first half of 1933. Identifying key events and decisions that produced the Holodomor, Kulchytsky analyzes economic and political factors, including the national dimension in Ukraine. The book begins with the author's address to the reader, presenting his view of the Holodomor as genocide. In addition to the main text, the volume includes a preface, afterword, glossary, list of abbreviations and acronyms, bibliography, and a short essay on the author and his writings. The Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine: An Anatomy of the Holodomor was prepared for publication by the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium (HREC) of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Alberta. HREC undertook the translation of Stanislav Kulchytsky's monograph Ukraïns'kyi holodomor v konteksti polityky Kremlia pochatku 1930 rr. as part of its efforts to make available in English seminal works by Ukrainian scholars of the Holodomor.

What if eating sugar could actually help you burn fat, sleep better, and transform your body after 40? In this explosive episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with fitness legend Shaun Hadsall, better known as The Ripped Grandpa, to break down the truth behind The Sugar Diet, a controversial but powerful nutritional strategy that's blowing up in the fitness world. Shaun shares the science behind how sugar (yes, sugar) can be strategically used to ignite fat loss, boost metabolism, and support muscle retention, especially for men in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. The conversation dives deep into the real cause of obesity, the hormone FGF21, and how sugar, when isolated from fat and protein, can actually heal your metabolism instead of destroy it. If you've tried keto, low-carb, or intermittent fasting and still feel stuck... this episode will completely rewire how you think about food, discipline, and fat loss. Frank also shares his personal results using The Sugar Diet, including improvements in energy, fat loss, and sleep, without restriction or burnout.

Since 2009, rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidality among young people have risen sharply, and research points to smartphones and social media as major contributors. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Johann D'Souza, a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety, about what is driving this crisis and how we can respond. We unpack the four harmful effects of excessive screen time: sleep deprivation, addiction, social isolation, and distraction. We also explore evidence-based solutions that work. From creating phone-free schools to encouraging unstructured play and family screen detoxes, you will hear practical steps parents, therapists, and communities can take to protect youth well-being.
Don't you just love an insane scheme by the Master? Especially when it involves disguising himself as a horrendous racial stereotype when he has no reason to be in disguise at all? Oh, and we have some wonderful product placement for Heathrow Airport and Concorde. And this story is *somehow* the Season 19 finale. That's right -we're talking about Time-Flight! Join us as we discuss the brown-ness of the 1980s, whether the episode takes place in the Jurassic or Pleistocene era (it's the former – Reilly's right, Anthony's wrong), why the Master feels the need to disguise himself, the TARDIS repair hour, and the rather questionable behaviour and motives of the Professor. Anthony finds a way to sneak in some Tinie Tempah lyrics without a single other member of the cast noticing. Typical.

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingFOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS AUGUST 8! We discuss how this August 9 Aquarius Full Moon reflects the light of the Leo Sun back onto itself, thus exposing its shadow side: Excessive pride & arrogance. The Aquarius Moon—when it arrives at exactly 17-degrees of Sun-ruled Leo at 12:55 a.m. PT & 3:55 a.m. ET on August 9--then asks the Leo Sun to release any hubristic tendencies to act like a powerful but selfish & uncaring king.This lunation's square to Juno in Scorpio mirrors back to us the tension of the current power struggle over whether America is still based on a partnership between its government--created originally by & for the people--or a monarchy under the rule of a tyrannical king. This lunation makes clear we're still under the recurrence of energies of the U.S. natal Sibly birth chart's Pluto return, begun in February 2022, that kicked off its original quest for independence. And that we've got a long way still to go, but that if we band together against such uncaring energies which disrespect our right to individual freedoms, only then can we save our nation from reverting to its original roots before its creation, that of an selfish & unstable monarch.This week's podcast recaps the Astro News You Can Use from the beginning of this month's lunar cycle on July 24--because only by looking back can we know how we've arrived at where we are today, which, in turn, helps us better plan our future. We look at the deeper meaning of the current Leo New Moon's monthly lunar cycle, which asked us to plant seeds that honor our individual, creative, solar selves on July 24. Next, we note how its opposition then to Pluto in Aquarius portended power struggles, & how it has manifested thus far. Especially as we waxed past the Sun/Mercury retrograde inferior conjunction of July 31, the first quarter monthly “crisis in action” waxing square of the Scorpio Moon to the Leo Sun, & the delusional square of Venus to Neptune & the dissatisfying one to Saturn August 1 & 2.We note the many announcements made since this Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction—starting with Donald Trump's firing of the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor & Statistics on August 1. Such a move, on the heels of the Venus squares to Saturn & Neptune, reeked of a king who chose to kill the messenger rather than pay attention to the actual message, without a care for his partners.This, in turn, leads to the inability of Americans to trust the data coming out of its formerly trustworthy government agencies in charge of such economic statistical analyses. More examples in this podcast!And that leads us to other August 1 announcements such as the one from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that it will shut down next year. Then there's the news that convicted sex trafficker & pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a “Club Fed” prison after her recent meetings with the U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former criminal attorney in 2024 when Trump was convicted in the NY Stormy Daniels hush money case. What's becoming clear now also since Uranus entered Gemini on July 7 is the public's change in perspective. That means a change in opinion, as the Trump/Epstein scandal becomes the monster that just won't die. Meanwhile those formerly supportive of Trump begin to turn against him as they hope against hope that he will adjust his grip & “release the Epstein files” as Venus quincunxed Pluto August 1 & 2, too.That this is symbolic of the energy of tomorrow's Aquarius Full Moon square Juno in Scorpio, as Mars opposes both Saturn & Neptune August 8/9 & creates a huge amount of frustration & a sense of impotence a la “but what can I do about any of this?”It's clear that under the SA/NE in Aries energies that boundaries continue to erode. From those between the federal government & the people it's supposed to represent; the boundaries between federal & state governance; & those between our military—designed to fight an external enemy—who invade our local borders & our city's streets. This becomes even more obvious since the FBI has now been tasked by King Trump to hunt down Texas democratic state legislators who refuse to vote for gerrymandered maps that further curtail the right of Black & brown people to equal representation when it comes to voting. Never mind if it's legal to use federal FBI law enforcement resources this way…The ultimate message of this Aquarius Full Moon, however, is that when we stand together as a group & face the bully, there's ultimately more power in numbers than in that of a weak, narcissistic wannabe king. Together we stand, divided we fall would be this month's full Moon message--& that we cannot succeed if we do not even try.Hence, as America government becomes increasingly autocratic, it becomes ever more evident that the only way to stop this is to band together to fight the authoritarian powers that be. Whether that ultimately means masses of people protesting together to get their message across, or worse, is yet to be determined. What's clear is that now is not the time to back down.However, it's fine to take a break, especially from social media—much of which under Uranus in Gemini is filled with propagandist BS, even from the left--& withdraw, for a little while. Strengthening our critical thinking skills is what's it's all about over the next seven years as Uranus in Mercury provides the ability for sudden revelatory insights as information becomes more a tool of distortion than one of fact. In the short term, as Mercury stations direct in Leo on August 11, we have the ability to regroup, observe & begin to pay attention. As more people become increasingly aware of what's going on around them, more will join the fight. And what's most worth paying attention to, according to this Aquarius Full Moon is that none of us is alone in this obvious astrological recurrence of the quest for American independence from tyranny IF we all stick together.Join us starting August 8 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking to hear more astrological details that further illustrate how Americans are being disenfranchised around the world as former trade partners change their perspectives of what America truly is: A friend or an enemy given the current trade wars. And what the heavens are advising us to do. Plus, so much more…See you then! Namaste…

Is your mouth the root cause of your health issues? In this powerful episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya Brown sits down with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen to uncover how holistic dental health impacts everything from autoimmune conditions to energy levels. After battling mercury toxicity, Dr. Jorgensen transitioned from traditional dentistry to becoming a pioneer in biological dental care. They dive deep into the effects of mercury, fluoride, root canals, and oral microbiome imbalances on chronic disease. Dr. Jorgensen also shares cutting-edge tools and safe protocols for mercury removal, plus practical tips for remineralizing teeth and restoring systemic health through oral care. If you're facing chronic symptoms with no clear answer, your mouth could be the key—this episode is a must-listen. Key points in this episode: Excessive fluoride intake can lead to adverse health outcomes, including thyroid dysfunction and cognitive impairment, necessitating careful consideration of its use. Mercury exposure from dental procedures can severely impact health, highlighting the importance of safe removal protocols. Maintaining a balanced oral microbiome is crucial for preventing systemic issues, challenging the traditional use of alcohol-based mouthwash. Hidden oral infections from root canals can trigger or exacerbate autoimmune conditions, necessitating comprehensive diagnostics like cone beam CT scans.

Unleashing Creativity: Tapping into Your Innate Potential In a world driven by innovation and originality, creativity is one of the most valued and sought-after traits. While some might think creativity is a rare gift bestowed upon a fortunate few, the truth is that we all possess an innate creative potential waiting to be unleashed. This article will explore practical ways to tap into your creative reservoir and bring your ideas to life. 1. Embrace Curiosity Curiosity is the cornerstone of creativity. By asking questions and seeking out new experiences, you open your mind to a world of possibilities. Take time to explore new hobbies, read diverse genres of books, or learn about different cultures. The more varied your experiences, the richer your creative pool becomes. 2. Create a Stimulating Environment Your surroundings can significantly impact your creativity. Design a space that inspires you—fill it with art, colors, and objects that spark joy and imagination. Whether it's a cozy corner in your home or a vibrant workspace, ensure it reflects your personality and fuels your creative spirit. 3. Practice Mindfulness Mindfulness helps quiet the noise in your mind, allowing your inner creativity to emerge. Regular practices like meditation, yoga, or simply mindful breathing can help you stay present and connect with your thoughts and ideas more deeply. This mental clarity can lead to breakthrough moments of creativity. 4. Embrace Failure as a Learning Tool Fear of failure often stifles creativity. Instead of viewing mistakes as setbacks, see them as valuable learning experiences. Every failed attempt brings you one step closer to a successful idea. Embrace a growth mindset, understanding that creativity is a journey filled with trials and errors. 5. Engage in Creative Play Sometimes, the best way to unleash creativity is through play. Activities like drawing, painting, writing, or even playing with building blocks can stimulate your brain in new ways. These playful endeavors can break the monotony of routine thinking and unlock fresh, innovative ideas. 6. Collaborate with Others Creativity often thrives in collaboration. Engaging with others exposes you to different perspectives and ideas, which can ignite your creative spark. Join a club, attend workshops, or simply have brainstorming sessions with friends or colleagues. The synergy of multiple minds can lead to extraordinary creative breakthroughs. 7. Set Aside Time for Creativity In our busy lives, creativity can easily take a backseat. Make a conscious effort to set aside time each day for creative activities. Whether it's 15 minutes of journaling, an hour of crafting, or an afternoon of brainstorming, regular practice helps build and maintain your creative muscles. 8. Seek Inspiration in Nature Nature is a profound source of inspiration. Spending time outdoors, observing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world, can rejuvenate your mind and spark creative ideas. Go for a walk in the park, hike a trail, or simply sit in your garden to connect with nature and your inner creativity. 9. Limit Screen Time While technology offers numerous creative tools, it can also be a distraction. Excessive screen time can drain your mental energy and creativity. Set boundaries for your digital consumption and allow yourself time away from screens to think, dream, and create without interruptions. 10. Reflect and Record Your Ideas Keep a journal or a digital notepad to jot down your thoughts and ideas as they come. Reflection helps you process and refine your creative ideas. Regularly reviewing your notes can provide valuable insights and fuel your creative endeavors. Unleashing your creativity is not about waiting for inspiration to strike; it's about cultivating habits and environments that encourage creative thinking. By embracing curiosity, creating stimulating spaces, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in playful and collaborative activities, you can tap into your innate creative potential. Remember, creativity is a journey—enjoy the process, learn from it, and let your imagination soar.

On this episode of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald sits down with Kara Gotsch, Executive Director of The Sentencing Project, for a wide-ranging conversation about the ongoing challenges—and hard-won progress—toward ending mass incarceration in the United States. Gotsch opens with a stark but measured assessment: while the prison population has declined since its peak in the late 2000s, there are troubling signs of political backsliding, with states like Louisiana reversing youth justice reforms and a broader erosion of bipartisan momentum. Throughout the conversation, Gotsch underscores a central paradox: the U.S. imposes some of the longest prison sentences in the world, yet there is little evidence those sentences improve public safety. In fact, most people who serve decades behind bars—especially those who were young at the time of their offense—pose minimal risk of reoffending upon release. Gotsch calls for capping sentences at 20 years and stresses the importance of “second look” legislation that gives incarcerated people a meaningful chance at rehabilitation and release. The episode delves into youth justice reform and recent breakthroughs in state courts, which are increasingly recognizing the science behind emerging adult brain development. These rulings challenge life without parole for people under 21 and show the growing influence of evidence-based policy grounded in neuroscience and compassion. Ultimately, Gotsch argues that data alone won't change hearts and minds. What's needed, she says, is storytelling—bringing the public closer to the lives of those impacted by incarceration. “There's no compassion for a number,” she says. “But there is compassion for a human being.” It's a moving call to reframe justice not as retribution, but as restoration.

A West Clare councillor claims repairs currently being undertaken on water supplies is a factor in outages in the region. It's after two seperate bursts on water mains has caused a loss of supply for customers in Miltown Malbay, Coore, Spanish Point, Mullagh, Creegh and Cooraclare. In February, Uisce Éireann announced works would be completed on 6km of defective 50-year-old mains on the Coore water scheme. Cree Independent Councillor, Dinny Gould, says these works are putting extra strain on fragile pipes further along the line.

Forrest and Dr. Rick discuss what's really wrong with the self-help industry, going beyond the obvious pseudoscience and snake oil to examine deeper structural issues. They explore the industry's mixed-bag focus on individual responsibility, the risks of turning healing into a never-ending project, performative personal growth, narcissism, social media and capitalism, and honest striving vs. hustle culture. They also talk about their personal experiences navigating our relationship to the industry. Throughout, Rick and Forrest emphasize finding the middle path: balancing agency with awareness, growth with acceptance, and sincerity with skepticism.

One of the biggest problems that humanity has faced for thousands of years is heat. Excessive heat made it difficult to work in the middle of the day. Heat was especially problematic in the tropics, where a shockingly large percentage of humanity lived. As cities became more developed, excess heat, all year round, became a limiting factor in how tall buildings could get. All of these problems were solved with one invention.

Weddings aren't cheap – well, most of the time. In New Zealand, the average wedding costs between $35,000 - $45,000, but depending on your tastes and needs, it can grow much higher. The recent wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez cost somewhere between $20 million and $50 million USD – roughly 200 times more than what the average Kiwi spends. However, one columnist points out that compared to their wealth, Bezos and Sanchez actually spent quite little. So Kevin Milne is wondering, is it Bezos who's being excessive, or is it the rest of us. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When most people think about workplace safety, they imagine hard hats, ergonomic chairs, or maybe active shooter drills. What rarely comes up—but absolutely should—is how people feel at work. And that's where psychosocial hazards come in.These aren't just buzzwords or boxes to check. Psychosocial hazards are the silent threats that show up in how power is distributed, how people are treated, and what's tolerated in the day-to-day culture of an organization. And yet, too often, they go unacknowledged—until someone breaks down, quits, or worse.Dr. I David Daniels joined me on DEI After 5 to dig into this topic, and what he shared should have every workplace paying attention.What Are Psychosocial Hazards, Really?Psychosocial hazards are the workplace conditions that can mess with your mental and emotional well-being. Things like:* Bullying or harassment (yep, still happening in 2025)* Excessive workload and unrealistic expectations* Micromanagement and lack of control over your own work* Isolation, exclusion, or lack of social support* Microaggressions (subtle, but cumulative and harmful)* Discrimination—overt or covertThese aren't just "bad vibes." These are real risk factors that impact how people think, engage, and show up at work. And if we're being honest, they're often written off as personal problems or interpersonal drama instead of being seen as organizational liabilities.Microaggressions: The “Small” Thing That Adds Up FastLet's talk about microaggressions—those quick jabs people might not even realize they're throwing. A joke about someone's name. A comment about someone's tone. A backhanded compliment about someone's hair or clothes. These small moments are heavy for the person on the receiving end, especially when they pile up over time.If people are spending energy trying to decode whether they're safe in a meeting or if it's “worth it” to speak up, that's not a thriving culture. That's a hazard.Toxic Workplaces Don't Just Happen. They're Built.A toxic work environment is often the result of unchecked psychosocial hazards. Maybe it's a culture of fear. Maybe it's leadership looking the other way when inappropriate behavior happens. Maybe it's the team dynamic that subtly punishes people for being “too different” or “too direct.”Whatever the case, the result is the same: employees disengage, mental health declines, and performance suffers. Burnout isn't always about doing too much—it's often about being in an environment that takes too much out of you, with too little support in return.So, What Can Organizations Actually Do?Addressing psychosocial hazards takes more than a wellness webinar or a ping pong table in the break room. Here's where to start:* Take a real look at the culture. What's being allowed? What's being ignored?* Train leaders to recognize and respond to harmful behavior. Silence is complicity.* Reinforce policies with action—not just paperwork. If people don't trust the system, it doesn't work.* Create real feedback channels. And act on what you hear.* Prioritize psychological safety. Not just for show—but because it matters.Leadership Sets the ToneThis isn't just an HR issue—it's a leadership responsibility. Leaders shape culture, whether intentionally or not. If they're not actively creating safety, then they might be passively reinforcing harm. Listening, transparency, and accountability are all leadership behaviors that reduce psychosocial hazards. It's time we stop thinking of those things as "soft skills" and start calling them what they are: critical safety tools.If your team is struggling, your retention is dipping, or people are showing signs of burnout—don't just look at the workload. Look at the environment. Psychosocial hazards may be the root cause.If you're ready to dig into what's really going on in your workplace and want support assessing and addressing psychosocial hazards, schedule a call with our team. We'll help you build a culture that's not just productive—but safe, sustainable, and truly inclusive. This is a public episode.

The phrase “it's just a small project” has probably caused more confusion, blown more budgets, and strained more relationships than we'd care to admit. It sounds harmless, maybe even charming - the architectural equivalent of a quick favor. But that phrase carries weight. Because behind every modest addition, bathroom remodel, or garage conversion is the same professional rigor we apply to larger work … just without the benefit of scale. Whether it's fees that don't shrink as expected, construction costs that defy logic, or clients caught off guard by the number of decisions they'll need to make, these projects demand clarity, patience, and experience. So today, we're talking about what architects need to communicate, anticipate, and prepare for when the work is small but the expectations are not. Welcome to Episode 180: Size Doesn't Matter. [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player] Architectural Fees Don't Scale jump to 3:50 One of the most misunderstood aspects of residential design is how architectural fees are determined. Many clients assume that a smaller project should result in a proportionally smaller fee. But architectural fees don't scale like that. A 400-square-foot addition still requires site measurements, code research, zoning analysis, (possibly) consultant coordination, and detailed documentation. Whether the project is 400 or 4,000 square feet, many of the baseline efforts remain the same. You still need floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, building sections, wall sections, electrical layouts, and coordination with structural engineers or energy consultants. And while the documentation may be shorter, the care and precision required to make a small project work can sometimes take even more time. For example, a kitchen renovation might involve more detail and coordination per square foot than an entire house. The AIA has published guidance on fee structures in the "Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice," (this is a book that I highly recommend) which notes that project complexity and risk should be used to help determine compensation, not just size. As architects, we must be clear in helping clients understand that fees represent time and expertise, not floor area. If you charge a fixed fee or percentage of construction cost, be sure to explain what that covers and what it doesn't. Helping clients see the value in pre-design services, permitting assistance, and construction observation can prevent misunderstandings later. Saving the best for last, just because it's a small project doesn't mean the liability is small. Professional risk remains, which means the time spent to get it right matters, regardless of scale. the post that I referenced in our discussions was this one ...*the penalty of drawing too much - Excessive or Essential? The Entire Timeline jump to 9:43 Clients often think the timeline for a small project will be quick. And to be fair, the design phase might be shorter than that of a ground-up custom home. But that's only one piece of the puzzle. Permitting can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the jurisdiction. In some cities, small additions are routed through full plan review just like new homes. And once the project is permitted, the construction timeline is subject to the availability of contractors and materials, site conditions, and even weather. It's our responsibility to help clients understand the full arc of the process. According to a 2023 survey from Houzz, the average design-to-completion timeline for a kitchen remodel is around 8-12 months, even when the construction itself only takes 2-3. Why the gap? Because there are lags built into the process. Design review boards, HOA approvals, contractor bidding windows, and permit review times all add up. When you add in backorders on appliances or materials, things can shift quickly. That's why it's so important to map out the process...

Peer pressure is often seen as negative, but as Justin puts it - "you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with". The key is healthy and positive friendships, and with loneliness at an all time high, we wanted to find out how the families on Parental Guidance are helping their kids make and foster friendships. In a world where kids feel lonelier than ever- despite being constantly “connected” - how can we help them build real, meaningful friendships and resist negative peer pressure? How are the families on Parental Guidance helping their kids make and foster friendships? In this episode, we dive into the crucial role of social skills, healthy face-to-face interactions, and intentional parenting to help children thrive socially and emotionally. KEY POINTS Not all peer pressure is bad — positive peer pressure can help kids adopt healthy habits. Many kids today struggle with loneliness despite being surrounded by peers, often due to excessive screen time and lack of real-world social practice. Social skills like introducing oneself, showing curiosity, and maintaining conversations are essential for resisting negative peer pressure. Parents play a key role by modelling healthy social interactions, facilitating opportunities, and keeping conversations about relationships open and non-judgemental. Excessive technology use may hinder social development, but more evidence is needed to fully understand the impact.

Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?” Recently, a listener asked a menopause exercise question, "I'm doing strength training three times a week for 30 minutes. Is that too much? If you have wondered, or wonder what is enough, too much or the Goldilocks for you, this is for you. Based on a study in Ireland called Menowell (not to be confused with the bars), almost 70% of us get our information from friends and 50% get information from social media. So, beware. Even researchers right now are spending a lot of time and energy getting eyeballs and making shocking statements. Instead of merely sharing the facts, they're being as inflammatory as the influencers they claim not to be. Quick Overview: Menopause can bring bone loss, muscle loss, metabolic changes, mood shifts & symptoms like hot flashes and sleep troubles. Promise: By the end, you'll know how to calibrate exercise for maximum benefit and minimal burnout, even if you're not experiencing any of these. Why exercise is non-negotiable? Exercise is medicine. Muscle is medicine and an endocrine organ. Muscle is HRT if you allow it to be. Like any other medicine, the right dose and timing are crucial. How much is too little? I could answer in a very generic way: Minimum WHO/HHS guidelines: 150 min moderate aerobic + 2 strength sessions weekly Under 150 min weekly leads to missed benefits like bone density maintenance and cardiometabolic protection This is not a generic podcast and you're not a generic woman. So, let's answer with the uniqueness you deserve. Whether you're exercising too little or too much your body leaves both objective and subjective data. Red flags of Undertraining and Overtraining: Persistent fatigue Ongoing symptoms Plateau in strength/mood/weight. More Answers to Your Menopause Exercise Questions When exercise becomes too much: Excessive high-intensity sessions >3× weekly without recovery ups injury risk—especially for connective tissue for women in midlife. Overtraining stress can aggravate symptoms, disturb sleep, mood, and adrenal health, appetite/cravings and libido.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 04/08/25 ; 04/09/25 ; 05/05/25 ; 05/06/25 Should the Yud of the Tefillin Shel Yad Be Touching the Bayit—And How Critical Is Its Placement? The Tefillin Shel Yad is wrapped around the arm and tied with a knot shaped like the Hebrew letter Yud, positioned near the Bayit (box). This Yud is not merely decorative; it carries both Halachic and Kabbalistic importance. But how close must it be to the box? Does its position affect the validity of the Misva? And what happens if it slips out of place during prayer? What Is the Yud on the Tefillin Shel Yad? The Torah uses the phrase "Totafot"—frontlets—when referring to Tefillin. The Halacha teaches that this word alludes to four Parashiot (Torah passages) placed in the Shel Rosh, but also connects to the name of Hashem. The Name of Hashem, as reflected in the Tefillin, appears through the knot of the Shel Yad shaped like a Yud, the shape of the knot of the Shel Rosh (a Dalet), and the Shin embossed on the Shel Rosh. Together, these letters spell out "Shaddai," one of the sacred Names of Hashem. According to Kabbala, this structure must be complete and properly aligned, or it interrupts the spiritual flow the Tefillin are meant to draw. But aside from the Kabbalistic implications, there are real Halachic consequences if the Yud is not properly positioned. Must the Yud Be Touching the Bayit? Yes. The Yud must rest against the Bayit, and the knot should be snug and stable. The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 27:2) rules that the Yud must not be separated from the box, even by a small space. The Yud is part of the Halachic identity of the Tefillin. According to the Hida (Birkei Yosef), if the Yud is not close to the Bayit—if it slips down the strap or hangs loosely—the Tefillin may be considered Pasul (invalid), especially during the Beracha. To fulfill the Misva properly, one must ensure at the time of the Beracha and binding that the Yud is tight and resting directly against the base of the box. Does It Invalidate the Tefillin If the Yud Moves During Tefila? If the Yud is touching the Bayit when the Beracha is recited and the Tefillin are put on, but it later shifts slightly during prayer, this does not invalidate the Misva. The critical moment is the initial placement and blessing. However, if a person notices that the Yud has slipped or become completely separated during prayer, it is appropriate to adjust it immediately and discreetly. There's no need to repeat the Beracha unless it was clearly never positioned properly to begin with. In fact, it is a good practice to check the Yud each morning before putting on the Tefillin. Make sure the loop is tight and that the knot is secure. If the knot is loose or keeps sliding, it may need to be retied by someone knowledgeable in Tefillin construction. Can the Yud Be Placed Under or Behind the Bayit? The Yud should rest alongside the Bayit, not behind it and not underneath. If it is placed underneath the base—wedged between the box and the arm—it may cause the Bayit to sit at an angle, or lift it slightly, which is improper. The Bayit must sit flat against the bicep, not propped up or tilted. The Yud should hug the corner of the Bayit—visible and aligned, not tucked away or hidden. Some people mistakenly wrap the strap in a way that presses the Yud underneath or squeezes it behind the box. This not only distorts the alignment, but also reduces the visibility and symbolic meaning of the Yud. What If the Yud Is Missing or Not Formed Properly? If the Yud is missing altogether—or if the strap is tied in a way that does not resemble the letter Yud—then the Tefillin Shel Yad is invalid. The form of the knot must clearly resemble a Yud. This is why it's important that the knot is tied by a qualified sofer or expert, and not altered by someone unfamiliar with the laws. Even well-meaning adjustments can result in a shape that does not fulfill the Halachic requirement. Also, over time, straps wear out. The corner may fray or stretch, and the Yud shape may become unclear. A person should periodically inspect the Tefillin or bring them to a sofer for checking. How Tight Should the Knot Be? The strap and knot should be tight enough to keep the Yud securely in place, but not so tight that it pulls or deforms the shape of the Bayit. There is a balance between tightness and comfort. One should feel the firmness, but also be able to move the arm normally. Excessive tightness is unnecessary—and even harmful to the Tefillin and to circulation. Summary - The Yud must be placed directly next to the Bayit of the Tefillin Shel Yad. - This position is Halachically required, not just symbolic or aesthetic. - If the Yud slips after the Beracha, the Misva remains valid, but it should be adjusted. - The Yud should be visible and rest on the side of the Bayit, not under or behind it. - A missing or malformed Yud invalidates the Tefillin Shel Yad. - The strap should be tight enough to hold the Yud in place, but not overly tight.
A video of Justin... that Justin never made. This was the shocking moment that shook the families on Parental Guidance—a deepfake designed to highlight how real, how convincing, and how dangerous AI can be for our kids. In today’s recap, we dive into the confronting realities of deepfakes, online safety, and skyrocketing screen time. From fake videos to 65-hour screen weeks, how do we protect our kids in this hyperconnected world? KEY POINTS: Deepfakes are real, fast, and easy. It took producers just 20 minutes to create a convincing fake video of Justin. This raises serious concerns about privacy, consent, and exploitation—especially for teens. The gendered impact is severe. 98% of deepfake porn targets women and girls, with devastating emotional and psychological consequences. The 'be careful what you post' advice is outdated. Even innocent images like yearbook photos can be misused. The real focus needs to be on teaching empathy, respect, and legal consequences. Screen time shock. One family clocked 21 devices for 6 people. A parent averaged 65 hours a week—over 9 hours a day—and her son hit 16 hours in a single day. The real cost of screen time. Excessive screens impact brain development, sleep, social skills, physical health, and relationships. Digital connections aren't enough. Kids need real-life, face-to-face interaction for emotional and neurological growth—nine times more brain activation happens in person than on Zoom. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "When we spend time in front of a screen—especially when it's excessive—we do not grow our brain. In fact, the research suggests there’s less grey matter. That is a massive problem." – Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson TV Show: Parental Guidance Season 3 – available on 9Now Website: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Talk about it. Have open, honest conversations with your kids about AI, deepfakes, and consent. Teach empathy. Reinforce that using someone's image without consent is a violation of their humanity—and often a crime. Audit your screens. Count your family’s devices and track your own usage. Awareness is step one. Prioritise real-world connection. Schedule offline time daily. Prioritise nature, play, face-to-face conversations, and physical activity. Set boundaries. Create clear family rules about screen time, nighttime device use, and online safety. Model the behaviour. Kids notice if we say one thing but do another. Manage your own screen habits. Stay informed. Keep up with emerging tech risks and solutions. Read, listen, learn, and adjust. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do you avoid conflict, over-apologize, or say “yes” when you really mean “no”? In this powerful episode, Dr. Aziz unpacks the deeper reasons behind people-pleasing and “nice” behavior—and reveals what's really driving it. You'll discover that these habits aren't just random quirks—they're part of a system designed to keep you “safe” by earning approval and avoiding disapproval. But this comes at a huge cost: your authenticity, your confidence, and your freedom. Dr. Aziz shares key signs of hidden people-pleasing and offers a compelling invitation to look at what you're really afraid to feel. Once you understand the emotional root of these patterns, you can start breaking free—not by fixing a dozen behaviors, but by going straight to the source.
