Parliament has refuted claims by National Coloured Congress leader and MP Fadiel Adams that his parliamentary-issued laptop had been malfunctioning for about 18 months. Adams told the Madlanga Commission that technical problems with the device caused him to miss crucial information and contributed to the late submission of his statement. However, Parliament spokesperson Moloto Mothapo says its ICT service desk records show no evidence of persistent laptop problems, repeated hardware failures or freezing. He says the records also show that the device was not repeatedly booked in for repairs. Moloto Mothapo is National Assembly spokesperson.

Parliament says its ICT records do not support claims by National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams that his parliamentary laptop was persistently faulty for 18 months. Mr Adams told the Madlanga Commission yesterday the device had repeatedly frozen and delayed his access to correspondence. Parliament spokesperson, Moloto Mothapo elaborates. We also spoke to Dr. Bongani Nkosi, Criminal Law expert at the University of Limpopo.

A general contractor installs a commercial storefront window system. Because the flashing is installed incorrectly, rainwater enters the building during the first storm. The building owner sues the contractor, seeking the cost to remove and replace the defective window system and repair the water-damaged drywall and flooring inside. The contractor tenders the suit to its CGL insurer. Notable Timestamps [ 00:00:34 ] - A contractor faces a lawsuit after incorrectly installing window flashing that leads to water damage inside a building. [ 00:04:48 ] - A central issue in these claims is determining if an insurance company actually owes defense and indemnity when a contractor's work causes property damage. [ 00:06:26 ] - Commercial liability insurance is designed to cover unpredictable accidents and occurrences rather than serving as a guarantee for a contractor's faulty work. [ 00:08:53 ] - Under the majority legal view, such as in Alabama, faulty workmanship does not qualify as an occurrence because the work was done purposefully without fortuity. [ 00:10:00 ] - A growing minority view, seen in states like Pennsylvania and Colorado, broadly interprets these incidents as accidents unless the contractor intended the damage. [ 00:10:55 ] - Even if a situation qualifies as an occurrence under a state's laws, insurers may still rely on specific policy exclusions, like j(5) and j(6), to limit coverage. [ 00:11:26 ] - While the majority view denies indemnity for faulty workmanship itself, defective work that damages other property can still be classified as an occurrence.

This is a message to used car traders and dealers. If you know the vehicle has serious faults and you refuse to allow an independent pre-purchase inspection, you're wasting everyone's time and customers money. Also remember customer cab take you to court to reimburse inspection cost due to you selling a faulty car.

Colonel Jeff McCausland recounts how, on July 3, Robert E. Lee initiates a bold assault aimed at the Union center on Cemetery Ridge, though faulty assumptions regarding troop strength and coordination plague the plan. A massive two-hour artillery barrage—the largest in North American history—precedes the infantry advance but proves largely ineffective due to defective fuses and heavy smoke obscuring the targets. Under General Longstreet's direction, approximately 12,500 men under Pickett, Trimble, and Pettigrew march over a mile across open fields into concentrated Union fire. While General Lewis Armistead's brigade briefly breaches the Union line at "the angle," the Confederatesare ultimately repulsed with devastating losses, leaving Pickett's division nearly destroyed. In the aftermath, a grieving Lee takes full responsibility for the failure, while General Meade, exhausted and hindered by poor weather, declines to pursue the retreating Confederate army toward the Potomac.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Talking Pools Podcast, hosts Lee Salisbury, Shane Sneddon, and Nick discuss one of the most challenging and often frustrating aspects of pool service: leak detection. From simple dye tests and bucket tests to advanced acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, and underground leak locating equipment, the team shares real-world experiences, troubleshooting techniques, and lessons learned from years in the field. Topics CoveredWhy Leak Detection Is a Specialized SkillLeak detection often goes far beyond finding a wet spot in the yard. The hosts discuss how locating leaks requires patience, methodical troubleshooting, experience, and sometimes specialized equipment that represents a significant investment for a service company. Common Leak Sources Every Technician Should Check FirstBefore investing in advanced equipment, technicians can often identify many leaks through basic inspection and process-of-elimination techniques, including: Multiport valve waste lines  Hydrostatic relief valves  Skimmer box cracks  Skimmer faceplates and gaskets  Return fittings  Suction-side plumbing  Equipment pad leaks  Pump lid cracks and air leaks The hosts explain why many leaks can be found without expensive equipment when a systematic approach is used. Dye Testing: Every Technician's Best FriendOne of the most effective and affordable leak detection tools remains simple dye testing. The discussion covers: How dye reveals water movement  Why water table levels can affect results  Choosing the right dye color for different pool finishes  Common mistakes when performing dye tests  Creative field solutions using syringes, plasticine, and simple tools The team also discusses fluorescent dyes and situations where standard dye colors become difficult to see. When the Water Table Changes EverythingHeavy rainfall and high groundwater can completely change leak detection results. Shane shares examples where visible holes in vinyl liners showed no water loss because surrounding groundwater pressure equalized the leak. Understanding groundwater conditions is critical when diagnosing suspected leaks. Vinyl Pool Leak ChallengesThe hosts discuss: Large vinyl liner tears  Aging liner failures  Temporary patching methods  When repairs are no longer practical  Recognizing when liner replacement is the only realistic solution Real-world examples illustrate why some repairs become recurring service calls if underlying liner deterioration is ignored. Fiberglass Pool Failures and Structural IssuesSeveral unusual fiberglass pool failures are discussed, including: Pool walls collapsing due to improper backfill  Hydrostatic valve failures  Pools lifting out of the ground despite being full of water  Drainage design failures around pool shells These stories highlight why understanding soil conditions and groundwater management is just as important as understanding plumbing. Advanced Leak Detection EquipmentShane explains the equipment used by professional leak detection companies, including: Acoustic microphones  Pipe microphones  Pressure testing systems  Underground listening devices  Sonar and sound-based locating systems The discussion includes how these systems work, their limitations, and why training is essential before offering leak detection as a professional service. Is Leak Detection Worth Adding to Your Business?For service companies considering expanding into leak detection, the hosts discuss: Equipment costs  Training requirements  Insurance considerations  Break-even analysis  Market demand  Scheduling and labor requirements They emphasize the importance of understanding profitability before investing heavily in specialized services. Knowing When to Call a SpecialistNot every pool company needs to perform advanced leak detection. The hosts discuss the value of building relationships with trusted specialists and recognizing when a problem exceeds your equipment, experience, or risk tolerance. Real-World Leak StoriesThe episode features several memorable leak investigations, including: A pool that only leaked intermittently  A cracked pump lid causing major system issues  Underground plumbing surprises  Faulty underground repairs  Hidden plumbing modifications discovered during excavation These stories demonstrate why leak detection often feels more like detective work than pool service. Field Tips and TricksThe hosts share practical technician tips, including: Bucket testing procedures  Using plasticine and Blu Tack for temporary line isolation  Why proper expansion plugs matter  Temporary repair products that actually work  The dangers of underground rubber couplers  Repair materials for emergency situations These small tricks can save technicians hours of frustration in the field. Key TakeawaySuccessful leak detection is built on a systematic process of elimination. Start with the obvious, verify assumptions, test methodically, and know your limitations. Whether you're using a simple dye syringe or advanced acoustic equipment, the goal remains the same: gather evidence, eliminate possibilities, and follow the facts until the leak reveals itself. Connect With Talking PoolsHave a topic suggestion or a question you'd like answered on a future episode?

In this candid team meeting, Bryan — a founder of Kalos Services and a veteran of residential HVAC — gathers his install crew to have an honest conversation about what goes wrong on the job. With summer around the corner and the workload about to spike, Bryan circles back to his roots in residential HVAC to lead a round-table discussion on the pain points his technicians face every single day. Rather than pointing fingers, he opens the floor for every team member to voice the specific frustrations that slow down their installs, and what emerges is a surprisingly consistent list: size and clearance problems, missing small materials, incomplete job photos, and last-minute schedule changes that leave crews scrambling before they even pull out of the shop. Bryan draws on his own humble origins as a one-man operation hauling equipment on a Gladiator trailer — doing installs, service calls, and waste runs all in the same day — to remind his team that chaos is not inevitable; it is the byproduct of poor process. He is refreshingly self-aware, admitting that he was a very bad installer who routinely showed up with equipment that did not fit the space. That honesty sets the tone for the entire session: this is not a lecture about accountability, but a collaborative problem-solving conversation about building repeatable systems that prevent the same mistakes from happening over and over again. As Bryan frames it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result — and right now, the team is living that cycle. The heart of the session focuses on a three-phase planning framework: what should be done the night before a job, what should happen at the shop before the crew leaves, and what needs to occur during the first 30 minutes on-site. Bryan emphasizes that skipping proper measurements and job photos should carry the same weight as failing an inspection or leaving a refrigerant leak — because the downstream cost is just as real. He breaks down the two categories of mistakes that are truly unacceptable for any installer: refrigerant leaks from improper brazing, and water leaks from poorly executed drain lines. No amount of clean workmanship makes up for either of those failures, and he walks the crew through the non-negotiable steps — pressure testing and bubble solution on every single joint — that prevent them. Bryan wraps up by tying individual preparation habits to the bigger picture of company growth. He acknowledges that last-minute installs and mid-job equipment runs may never fully disappear, but that investing 15 minutes the evening before and 30 minutes on arrival creates a compounding tipping point effect — over time, the crew gains back hours, reduces surprises, and frees up the time that matters most: commissioning the system properly. Checklists, he argues, are not about turning skilled tradespeople into robots; they are about transferring institutional knowledge to the next generation of technicians and ensuring that nothing critical gets overlooked, no matter how many times you have done the job before. Topics Covered Common install-day problems surfaced in a round-table with the install crew Equipment size and clearance issues — why measurements matter before the truck leaves the shop The critical role of detailed job photos in preventing on-site surprises Missing small materials (wire nuts, spray foam, surge protectors, breakers) and how to stock proactively Scope and de-scope review: aligning the proposal with the homeowner before work begins Bryan's three-phase planning framework: the night before, at the shop, and on arrival Why refrigerant leaks and drain-line failures are the two non-negotiable mistakes to eliminate Pressure testing and bubble solution as a standard, every-joint practice The role of checklists in training new technicians and preserving institutional knowledge Handling last-minute installs and the logistics of getting equipment to the job site Condenser access obstacles — bushes, parking, property layout — and how to communicate with homeowners Faulty or missing parts out of the box and strategies for catching them early Panel rework and surprise platform rebuilds: planning for the unexpected How improved preparation leads to better commissioning time at the end of every job Building a culture of process over blame — poor planning is a system problem, not a people problem Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

India’s poor air is driving much needed investment away from the country. Synopsis: The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. There was a time when China was thought to have the world’s most polluted cities. However, Beijing’s sustained efforts have overturned that situation. Instead, when the question of polluted cities comes up, eyes turn to India now. According to the noted Harvard economist Gita Gopinath, a former top IMF official, poor air quality is driving investment away from India and is causing more damage to its economy than US President Donald Trump’s tariffs. There is enough policy experience, and scientific knowledge, to mitigate the situation. Indeed, India has within itself some of the world’s best scientific brains. The question is whether it has the political will to take the right measures, including pricing essential services such as water appropriately to curb overuse and wastage. In this wide-ranging conversation, host Ravi Velloor speaks with Chandran Nair, the Malaysian-born, founder and CEO of Hongkong-based Global Institute for Tomorrow on how India could take cues from China to fix its foul air and water. Mr Nair, a biochemical engineer who in 1994, set up the first foreign environment consultancy in China. He is also a frequent traveller to China and India. He is also a sceptic of the consumption-based growth model that he says is causing irreparable damage to the environment.

Faulty goods and services top of list of concerns for Irish consumers in 2025, for fifth year in a row Average of over €6k spent on the product or service consumers contacted the CCPC about 61% of consumers surveyed contacted the trader five or more times while trying to resolve their issue. CCPC consumer helpline report 2025 Faulty goods and services topped the list of concerns for Irish consumers for the fifth consecutive year, according to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission's (CCPC) 2025 Consumer Helpline Report (attached). The report details key statistics and insights from consumers who contacted the CCPC consumer helpline in 2025, as well as the most-named traders. 42,791 consumers contacted the helpline, mostly by phone, email and webform Consumers spent an average of €6,292 on the product or service that they had an issue with 10,297 consumers were referred to the Small Claims Court for redress The CCPC's free online Money Tools were used 647,483 times There was a significant increase in the number of consumers contacting CCPC about an online purchase, up by 14% since 2024. Issues with home building or improvements were also up – by 12% – since 2024 (2,838 consumers). The biggest call driver was issues with cars, with 5,827 contacts about vehicles. The top traders named by consumers contacting the helpline included Ryanair, Rathwood and Currys. Grainne Griffin, CCPC Director of Communications said: "Last year the CCPC helpline saw an increase in calls about online purchases. When shopping online in Ireland and the rest of the EU, consumers have strong rights, including the right to send goods back, as long as they inform the trader within 14 days. "One fifth of all contacts to our helpline in 2025 related to an issue with faulty goods and services. It's important that consumers know their rights if they buy something that turns out to be faulty. Regardless of whether you had a warranty or a guarantee, it's up to the seller to resolve your issue, you shouldn't have to go back to the manufacturer." Putting your rights to work In October 2025, the CCPC began following up with consumers who contacted the CCPC helpline to find out what happened next. The first check-in with consumers was a minimum of four weeks after they contacted the helpline. At that stage, 96% of consumers had contacted the trader. 43% of respondents had reached a resolution, with 38% of those receiving a refund from the trader. There were still challenges for consumers with 16% reporting that they incurred costs and 61% contacting the trader five or more times while trying to resolve their issue. Home improvement help 2,838 consumers contacted the CCPC helpline about home building or improvements, an increase of 12% since 2024. Consumers reported spending an average of €14,597 on home building or improvements that they later found issues with. In November 2025, the CCPC published an open letter to traders that provide home maintenance, construction and improvement services to remind them of their obligations under consumer protection law. Grainne Griffin said: "Home improvements can be costly for consumers, especially if things go wrong. Check the references of contractors and if you can, physically review previous jobs that they have done. Make sure you get a written quote rather than an estimate and sign a contract. Having those will give you stronger rights in the event of a problem. "Every year, issues with home building and improvements are one of the biggest call drivers to our helpline. That's why we wrote to traders last year with clear guidelines on their responsibilities to consumers. Where traders are not following the law, the CCPC can take enforcement action." Product safety concerns Last year, 1,261 consumers contacted the CCPC with product safety concerns, with one particular report to the CCPC helpline from a concerned parent leading to the recall of 1,564 baby socks due to injury concerns.

The scientific, ethical, and legal challenges surrounding facial recognition technology, specifically focusing on racial bias and misidentification. A technical research paper details how algorithmic accuracy fluctuates based on demographics and image quality, emphasizing that systemic errors often intensify as tasks become more difficult. This theoretical framework is punctuated by the real-world case of Angela Lipps, a Tennessee grandmother wrongfully imprisoned for months after an AI error linked her to a crime in North Dakota. Other documented cases, such as those involving Harvey Murphy Jr. and Rite Aid, further illustrate the severe human costs and legal liabilities resulting from unreliable biometric matches. Together, the texts advocate for stricter regulatory oversight, independent corroboration, and enhanced training to prevent technology from overriding due process.

On a humid Kentucky night in July 1994, Trent DiGiuro, a rising star on the University of Kentucky offensive line, was sitting on his front porch just three days away from his 21st birthday. Without warning, a single rifle shot rang out from the darkness 100 yards away. Trent was gone before his friends even realized what the sound was. For six years, the case remained one of Lexington's most haunting mysteries. The breakthrough didn't come from a forensic lab or a high-speed chase, but from a secret whispered in a bar and a woman who had the courage to wear a wire. In this episode of True Crimecast, John and Jamie explore the life of the "big teddy bear" who walked onto the UK team and the wealthy, privileged peer who allegedly could never forgive a social slight. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Stephen Grootes speaks to Trudie Broekmann, consumer law expert about the implications of the landmark Van Niekerk v FirstRand ruling, which has reshaped consumer rights in vehicle finance. The judgement establishes that banks financing car purchases are not just lenders but can be regarded as the sellers, meaning consumers can hold them accountable for defects or misrepresentation. The ruling has already had real-world impact, as seen in the case of Busisiwe Baloyi, who is now positioned to overturn a previous court order and seek a refund after returning a defective vehicle, marking a significant shift in legal protection for car buyers in South Africa.

Job 4:7-8, 8:1-7, 22:2-11, 21-27 | Simon Murphy | 8 March 2026

Continuing with the series, In View of His Mercies, we look at Hosea 8 & 9 and Pastor Dustin Clegg points out 3 things fro the text that we have to talk about so we can be true to ourselves:1) A God we "know" who doesn't know us.2) Reaping whirlwinds. (8:7)     a. We should expect to reap after we sow.     b. We should expect to reap what we sow.     c. We should expect to reap more than we sow.3) A Gospel too good to recognize. (8:12 & 9:7)How do we respond to this today?Acknowledge we become like the thing or person that we worship.

In view of the mercies of God....... Today we continue in our study of the book of Hosea and as we look at chapters 6 and 7, Pastor Dustin Clegg offers 3 observations:1) Faithful love, not religious emotion. (6:4-11)2) Faithful love of God always translates to faithful love of others. (7:1-7)3) Politically charged religion is not the same as faithful love of Jesus. (7:8-18)How do we respond?

Kiwirail had to carry out emergency overnight repairs after finding faulty track works by contractors.

Continuing with our study of the book of Hosea and in view of the mercies of God we look at Wrong Diagnoses and Faulty Cures. Pastor Dustin Clegg walks us through Hosea 4:1 - 6:3 and gives us 5 observations:1) Hosea presents the case God has against the people. Then he works backwards in describing the 3 offenses in chapters 4 - 13. (4:1)2) False priests and the way they operate. (Mainly 4:8)3) When we step away from the knowledge of God, we lose protection against idolatry. (4)4) Faulty cures...BUT... Hosea 6:1-35) We always have room for repentance as long as Jesus is pursuing us.

Unbilled utilities don't scream.They whisper and slowly drain your NOI while no one's looking.In today's Multifamily Operations Tip of the Day, Mike Brewer unpacks a silent but costly threat in property management: unbilled utilities.It's one of the easiest ways to bleed margin — and most teams won't notice until it's too late. Faulty meter reads. Sloppy allocation. Gaps in billing during unit turns. It all adds up. And here's the kicker: AI is your best defense.AI can run a real-time audit of your utility billing processes, flagging mismatches between usage and charges the moment they happen. That's not just efficient. That's smart income protection.But it gets better. We're entering an era where AI doesn't just observe, but acts. Real-time prevention. Autonomous corrections. And in 2026 and beyond, a new acronym will lead the charge: IF. Fair and accurate utility billing isn't just about recouping costs. It builds trust, promotes conservation, and protects your NOI. Precision is no longer optional — it's table stakes.If you're ready to stop invisible losses and start using AI to protect your portfolio's bottom line, like this video, subscribe, and share your utility billing best practices in the comments.Support comes from: https://www.365connect.com/?utm_campaign=mmnHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.comPlus: why in-person events like RETCON https://retconference.com/ matter more now than ever.

Have you ever wondered why, in the moments you crave connection the most, you suddenly find yourself pulling back or feeling unworthy of love? It's a confusing cycle—wanting deep intimacy yet stumbling over old shame and protective patterns that keep you at arm's length from those who matter most. The echoes of our early relationships can linger, quietly shaping the way we trust, open up, and even interpret simple gestures of kindness. Left unspoken and unexplored, these internal beliefs can create barriers to the very closeness we long for. In this episode, listeners are invited to take a compassionate look at how shame and childhood experiences impact our sense of self and our present-day relationships. Through real-life examples and insights from trauma and nervous system work, you'll discover why you might struggle with receiving care, how protective behaviors like people-pleasing or withdrawal develop, and, most importantly, how healing and repair are possible within intimate partnerships. The conversation offers practical tools for recognizing these patterns, slowing down your reactions, and using curiosity and acceptance to gently shift toward deeper connection—with yourself and with others. Dr. Arielle Schwartz is a licensed psychologist and a leading voice in the healing of trauma. She is an internationally sought-after teacher and award winning author of eight books including The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook, Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma, and Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga. As the founder of the Center for Resilience Informed Therapy, she offers a mind-body approach to therapy for trauma and informational mental health and wellness updates through her writing, public speaking, social media presence, and blog. She believes that the journey of trauma recovery is an awakening of the spiritual heart.   Episode Highlights 06:17 Uncovering attachment wounds and realizing childhood patterns in adulthood. 08:41 How shame and unworthiness show up in everyday relationship gestures. 10:59 The deep impact of relational trauma on trust and receiving love. 13:44 Cycles of childhood rejection and their lasting influence in relationships. 17:04 Understanding neuroception: Faulty safety cues and couple dynamics. 23:04 Common protective behaviors that mask shame and hinder true connection. 26:02 How longing to be authentically seen often leads to frustration and anger. 27:46 Facing shame: The role of curiosity, acceptance, and turning toward pain. 34:33 How slowing down and identifying underlying feelings in moments of reactivity allows for more vulnerable communication and understanding between partners. 37:03 Accessing and soothing shame through parts work and somatic awareness. 41:04 The power of presence: Attending to shame somatically and non-judgmentally. 42:57 Supporting partners in their activation: Invitations, patience, and repair.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Start noticing moments when you feel unworthy or defensive in relationships, and pause to reflect on what's being activated inside you. Practice slowing down your reactions, even if just for a few seconds, to bring curiosity rather than judgment to your responses. When you notice shame or discomfort, try labeling it as just one part of yourself—remind yourself it doesn't define your entire being. Invite more acceptance for uncomfortable feelings by turning toward them with compassion instead of pushing them away. If you're in a reactive moment with a loved one, communicate with phrases like, "Can I run something by you?" or "The story I'm telling myself is…" to clarify your experience. Focus on building body awareness—notice where you feel tension, contraction, or the urge to hide, and gently stay present with it. When you notice a protective behavior like people-pleasing or withdrawing, ask yourself what underlying need or emotion might be driving it. In heated moments with your partner, offer supportive choices like, "How can I best support you right now?" instead of jumping into problem-solving or fixing.   Mentioned The Polyvagal Theory Workbook for Trauma (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Complex PTSD Workbook (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Post-Traumatic Growth Deck (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Brene Brown (website) Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (*Psychology Today) (link) Polyvagal Theory (website) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Dr. Arielle Schwartz Websites: drarielleschwartz.com | resilienceinformedtherapy.com Facebook: facebook.com/drarielleschwartz X: twitter.com/DrAschwartz YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC5LUxnXbReV7I5cEzvb46sQ Instagram: instagram.com/arielleschwartzboulder LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/arielle-schwartz-0756b62a  

Blood panel tests don't tell you what's going on at the cellular level in your body, and they also won't tell you how the body's energetic system is working. Dr. Alphonzo Monzo, ND is a biblical naturopathic doctor and expert on the natural rhythms and processes of the human body. He discusses the realities of modern healthcare - its roots in the synthetic petroleum industry, big banking, and the active squelching of naturopathic solutions. Dr. Monzo outlines the top reasons why disease ravages the body: nutritional deficiencies, toxicity, mental and emotional stress or trauma, spiritual lifestyle, and the energy systems in the body. How well the terrain of the body is doing, determines how well the body does if it's hit with an infection, Dr. Monzo declares. Bring your body back into balance by focusing on basic health and nutrition!TAKEAWAYSThe body needs at least 90 essential nutrients to function properlyLooking for the ROOT cause of disease or inflammation is a hallmark of wholistic healthcareMost medications are based on petroleum products or fossil fuelsFederal regulatory agencies came together at the turn of the century to stifle wholistic healthcare and create the “modern medicine” market

Faulty due to external locus of control leading to lower satisfaction (Australian Study). Alternative: "My spouse is a companion in my happiness—I am responsible for my own emotional well-being.""If they really loved me, they'd know what I need without me saying it." Mind-reading expectations cause conflict (Mind-Reading Study; ResearchGate PDF). Alternative: "Love includes clear, kind communication about my needs and feelings.""A happy marriage means we never fight or have conflict." Gottman's research shows 69% of issues are perpetual (Gottman Institute).

CRISPR-based gene editing has revolutionized modern biology, but these tools are unable to access the DNA that resides inside mitochondria. Researchers are eager to access and edit this DNA to understand more about the energy production and the mutations that can cause incurable mitochondrial diseases.Because CRISPR can't help with these problems, researchers have been looking for other ways to precisely edit the mitochrondrial genome. And the past few years have brought some success — if researchers can make editing safe and accurate enough, it could eventually be used to treat, and even cure, these genetic conditions.This is an audio version of our Feature: Faulty mitochondria cause deadly diseases — fixing them is about to get a lot easier Hosted on Acast.
