Is Michael Jordan truly ‘competitive'? Or was he just a jerk with an amazing mid-court game? Is there even such a thing as ‘competitive instinct'?

Change Is in the Air     I had the distinct honor of being a part of a gait study at MIT in their Media Lab in Boston. It was the final project of a PhD student's program and it was amazing! To see what the future of prosthetics is heading toward and being able to test something that is still a ways out from being on the commercial market was such a blast and a lot of work. Testing the product through different scenarios and also using my own leg to show my baseline capabilities for comparison was so interesting and enlightening. I would never have picture myself, in a million years, being able to be a part of this, nor did I ever picture myself without a leg.. oh the places I have been, the people I have met and the experiences I have enjoyed, all because of my decision to amputate almost 5 years ago.   MIT Media Lab lobby   Getting geared up for my baseline study with my own leg   Gathering data   Making adjustments   Such an honor to meet the man who created his own prosthetics after losing his own legs, Dr Hugh Herr.   Would I do it all again? Yes!   First off, I am not a person that looks back and says, "if only I had..." or " I would have done this differently". Instead I focus at what's happening now and what's in front of me. This makes me a happier person. Second, I wouldn't trade all the problems I have had (phantom pains/sensations, fitting issues, rashes and burns from sockets) because everything I have been blessed to experience has also been met with amazing people, experiences and seeing and doing new things. I am a better person, a more well-rounded person, for having this life altering surgery.  I am happy that my life changed direction. I have been able to test my will power, my integrity, my character much more by going through something so big. I have been tested and been able to rise up and become a stronger individual, both physically and emotionally. I wished I could share with you so much more about my time at MIT, but until this student's study is published it needs to be hush hush. Someday next year I will talk about it in more detail, but until then, I suggest that if you ever get a chance to take part in a study, one that helps make progress in our prosthetics, take it. Not only are you helping the future, you will also get to learn more about yourself.     As the past couple of weeks I have pushed you all to get active during this busy time of year. Taking care of yourself is so important for your mental and physical well-being but we tend to put it off for other things. Don't wait! Join me on my Fierce and On Fire challenge. It's a virtual challenge by RunMotivators and if you'd like to join you can register and receive a medal for accomplishing this virtual challenge. The goal? 100 miles, your way. What does that mean? You decide how you accomplish 100 miles. I set the goal timeline for December 31st but you can always set your own timeline since this started 3 weeks ago for me. How can you reach 100 miles? Whatever is comfortable and easiest for you and your circumstances. If you are wheelchair bound them maybe do some upper body workouts. 15 minutes=1 mile You can swim, walk, hike, ski, surf, run, bike...the sky is the limit and you decide what challenges you, where you are at. The idea is to get moving for YOU! Making yourself a priority during this time of year, when we tend to ditch the things we do for ourselves to doing things for others. Are you in??

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is day 61 of the war. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian and settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's podcast. The IDF says "fierce battles" with Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip continue. As of this morning, 83 soldiers have died in the Gaza ground offensive, as the Air Force continues to carry out strikes against more than 250 targets over the past day. Fabian describes what is happening on the ground, as well as an idea to flood terror tunnels. In a rare statement, the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday expressed regret for killing a Lebanese soldier while striking a Hezbollah-linked target earlier in the day, the first such death since cross-border hostilities began in October. What does this apology represent? A European Union-funded school and some 10 homes in a village of the South Hebron Hills region of the West Bank have been demolished by "unknown parties" Sharon describes the incident and puts it into context with other attacks on activists who are attempting to protect Palestinians in the West Bank. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Live blog December 6, 2023 IDF steps up fight against Hamas in south Gaza; UN says 80% of population displaced IDF chief: Flooding Gaza tunnels with seawater ‘a good idea'; Khan Younis surrounded IDF issues rare apology after strike kills Lebanese soldier Homes and EU-funded school in West Bank village wrecked after threats by settlers THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In his coaching practice, Brad works with executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, and athletes on their mental skills and overall well-being. Brad earned both his undergraduate degree and master's degree from the University of Michigan. In this episode we discuss the following: Fierce self-discipline requires fierce self-compassion. Doing hard things, showing up even when you don't feel like it, is integral to having meaning and excellence in life. But you've got to be kind to yourself too. Because if you're not kind to yourself, your self-discipline is not going to be sustainable. Self-discipline takes you to the really hard places and allows you to step into the arena, but if you beat yourself every time you fail, why would you take that risk in the future? Self-discipline and self-compassion end up getting pitted against each other. But as Brad observes people on the path of excellence, it's not either or. It's both and. Individuals who practice self-compassion are more resilient and tend to work through challenges more skillfully. “I knew intellectually that I should be self-compassionate, but it wasn't until I had a severe episode of depression that I realized I wasn't very kind to myself.” “I was carrying a lot of self-discipline, but no one really taught me the self-compassion side of the equation. And I had to learn that to get through the depression, because simply showing up is really hard when you're depressed.” Self-compassion: “Have your own back.” Self-care is really community care. All the research on resilience shows that the number one factor of resilience is seeking support and being enmeshed in a circle of belonging and community. The things that work, work until they get in the way. Self-discipline works until you self-destruct because you're pushing yourself so hard. Self-compassion works until you get so soft that you don't actually start, and every time you feel a little bit off you let those feelings dictate what happens next.

This week on "Pushing the Limits" join me on this journey through cellular pathways and longevity as I delve into the inner workings of cells and their impact on your overall well-being. We start by unraveling the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, responsible for regulating metabolism and maintaining cellular balance. We explore how AMPK senses energy levels and its activation benefits for cellular health and energy conservation. We then compare AMPK with another key player, mTOR, and discuss their roles in cellular health and highlight the differences between these pathways and their contributions to longevity. We will look at Autophagy, the cellular cleansing process, emphasizing its significance and its connections to both AMPK and mTOR pathways. The video concludes by discussing how balancing AMPK and mTOR pathways can lead to a longer and healthier life, touching on the secrets of healthy aging, autophagy-inducing supplements and the drug Rapamycin.   Health Optimisation and Life Coaching with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

  There are many facets to being an amputee, a lot revolves around the fit of prosthetics, dealing with phantom pains, and relearning to walk. However there are other obstacles to overcome, goals to achieve, finding your independence is usually on the top of the list! This was a huge goal for me (and also for others I have talked to over the past few years). Independence looks different for each of us but when we decide what it is we are looking to achieve there's no better feeling when we reach that goal. For me, today was that day. I felt the complete independence of traveling alone-for the first time as an amputee! Packing up, getting to the airport, carrying my own luggage, finding my way through security and to my gate, all while being balanced, strong, and confident. I was able to grab my luggage, find my way to the Uber line, and check into a hotel.  These may seem like simple tasks, people do them everyday, but being with my husband since we were 17 and never traveling without him, he always took charge, he always looked out for me, and guarded me from uncertainty. With him I was always safe and taken care of, so you can imagine how exciting, and challenging, doing this was for me.       What a day of firsts!   If you ever wonder if you'll be able to travel again, let alone, travel solo as an amputee, I'm here to tell you that you can and you will! You can find that independence if that's what you want. It takes time and practice. You have to plan ahead, and be prepared. Listen in to today's podcast as I discuss the things I have learned over the past 4 1/2 years of traveling as an amputee, the items I make sure I pack, and how I navigate the airport hoopla. Oh, and if you are curious as to why in the world I have traveled alone to the other side of the country, on my own, in the middle of the holiday season, leaving the beautiful Arizona weather behind for the biting cold east coast then make sure you tune in next week!!   This is no different from the last two weeks: Join my Fierce and On Fire challenge today!! Don't wait! Join me as I make a solid effort to pay attention to my own health needs this holiday season by making sure to exercise in some way, everyday for at least 30 minutes. The challenge is 100 miles and is virtual. If you want a medal the click HERE to join me! If you want to join me but don't care about the medal, that's cool, too!  I have a private Facebook group you can join for the motivation and community. You can also join my IG channel Fierce and On Fire for the community as well. How can you compete against yourself? Great question. You do whatever it is you love to do and are capable of doing, where you are right now in your health journey. If you want and can run, walk, hike, bike, swim, then do it! If you are bedridden or in a wheelchair try upper body exercises with bands. 15 minutes of exercise = 1 mile. NO EXCUSES! If you want to help yourself then be kind to your mind and body. Don't wait for January 1 to make the dreaded "New Year's Resolution". Start today. Challenge yourself today. Make yourself more of a priority and end 2023 on a high note.' Let's do this together, as a virtual team of sorts.   And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YO(U!!!   Much love,

Last time we spoke about the naval battle of Empress Augusta Bay. Operation Cherry Blossom kicked off taking the Japanese by complete surprise. All of the diversionary actions had managed to confused the Japanese into thinking the Shortland Islands were the real target. Wilkinsons flotilla managed to land 14,000 men and 6200 tons of supplies at Cape Torokina. When the Japanese finally received news of the landings they tossed massive air attacks and prepared a counter landing force. The air attacks were not nearly enough to put a dent on the unloading process. Vice admiral Omori set out to intercept the Americans, but was caught off guard by Admiral Merrills figure 8 maneuver that saw two Japanese warships sunk, many heavily damaged and hundreds of Japanese killed. The Japanese tried a second time to hit the Americans, but Admiral Halsey unleashed his carriers to quell the action.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  Things were looking bad for the Japanese at the start of the Bougainville campaign. Many Japanese lay dead on the island from the futile attempt to counter the landings. In the depths of Empress Augusta bay lay other bodies and warships. Rabaul was being pulverized systematically. The Japanese needed to dislodge the enemy from the island lest it become another Guadalcanal. General Turnage's marines had successfully made their landings and now they would expand their perimeter. The naval battle of Empress Augusta Bay combined with Admiral Sherman's carrier raid against Rabaul's harbor had delivered a crippling blow the IJN's power in the region. Admiral Kusaka's air force at Rabaul had been reduced to 270 aircraft including the last minute 100 aircraft he was loaned from the IJN carriers. To make matters worse, on November the 5th, Admiral Halsey received a new task group led by Rear Admiral Alfred Montgomery. Task Group 50.3 consisted of carriers Essex and Bunker Hill; light carrier Independence and destroyers Edwards, Murray, McKee, Kidd, Chauncey and Bullard. On November 8, the destroyers Stack, Sterett and Wilson were also given to this group, though they would be withdrawn by November 14. These new carriers were packing heat. Essex carried 36 Hellcats, 36 SBDs and 19 TBFs; Bunker Hill 24 Hellcats, 33 SB2C Helldivers and 18 TBFs, plus 24 Corsairs ran CAP for her from Ondoanga and Segi Point; Light Carrier Independence carried 24 Hellcats and 9 TBFs, plus  12 Hellcats (CAP from Ondoanga and Segi Point). With all of that Halsey had an additional 45 torpedo bombers, 69 dive bombers and 120 fighters to continue putting the hurt on Rabaul. The only catch for all of this was Halsey lacked an adequate destroyer screen to protect these super weapons, thus he would be unable to fully utilize them until a bit later on.Halsey was also reinforced with Rear-Admiral Laurance DuBose's Cruiser Division 13 consisting of light cruisers Santa Fe, Birmingham, Mobile and Biloxi; and destroyers Harrison, John Rodgers, McKee and Murray. Admiral Merrill's exhausted task force was given some much needed R&R beginning on November 7th.  Back over at the beachhead, General Vandegrift was so certain the operation was 100% successful he handed the keys to the car to Turnage and returned with Admiral Wilkinson to Guadalcanal, of course he was about to receive a promotion and would soon be on his way to Washington. Turnage now sought to expand the beachhead further inland to give the marines more defense in depth, as it was expected the Japanese would launch major attacks to dislodge them. He shifted the 3rd Marines, whose units had suffered the most casualties thus far to the left sector of the beachhead. He then moved the more fresh 9th marines to the right where he believed was the most likely area the Japanese would hit the hardest. Still meeting no enemy resistance, these shuffling actions were accomplished by November 4th. Simultaneously many units also extended the perimeter. By the end of November 3rd, the 2nd raider battalion extended their part of the perimeter 1500 yards or so. The only real action anyone saw for awhile was patrol skirmishes and some fighting over roadblocks. The 2nd Raiders were under the temporary command of Major Alan Shapley who took responsibility for a few roadblocks; companies rotated out of their positions every couple of days. The key roadblock positions were found along the Piva and Mission trails. The 3rd raiders were working out ways to lure out a small group of Japanese holding out on Torokina island. On November 3rd, 3rd defense battalion and a 105 mm battery of the 12th marines fired upon the small island for 15 minutes. The 3rd raiders followed this up to storm the suspected Japanese position to find nothing but corpses. An outpost was established by M company of the 9th marines far to the left of the main perimeter which was hoped to guard against surprise attacks coming over the Laruma river. Turnages patrols at this point became a daily chore for all units on Bougainville. These patrols would go on for 20 grueling months. The thick undergrowth and lack of well defined trails made it extremely easy for the Japanese to set up ambushes at their leisure. Thus to combat this, the marines had to turn to some very good boys, K9 companies. The war dogs used their superior senses to hunt and track down the enemy during patrols. During the early stages of the Bougainville campaign the dogs were able to locate a number of small groups of Japanese. The Bougainville campaign despite being a warzone would not see as brutal fighting as say places like Peleliu. On Peleliu many of the war dogs literally were driven mad, but for Bougainville the dogs had a less intensive time. The patrols scouted as far north as Laruma and south to the Torokina River finding no meaningful resistance. By the 5th of November, the perimeter was extended inland a further 3 miles. Now 5 battalions were manning a 10,000 yard front, with the bulk of the raider battalions located on Puruata island and at cape Torokina in the reserves. Wilkinson's convoy would bring over another 3548 troops of the 21st marines and 5080 tons of supplies on November 6th. Because the beaches were already so cluttered up with supplies everything and they still lacked developed facilities, the incoming LST's had to land their cargo on Puruata island where there was open beaches. There was still no shore party to organize the unloading and a supply jam would hit the smaller island just like it was on Bougainville. Turnage now had nearly 20,000 men to man a pretty small beachhead. On the other side, the Japanese were under the belief, no more than 5000 Americans hand landed on Bougainville, getting those guadalcanal vibes aren't we? Admiral Kusaka still sought to send over the specially trained amphibious 2nd mobile raiding unit of Major Miwa Mitsuhiro, 1000 men strong. He hoped to perform a counter landing north of the American beachhead. If the special unit could disrupt the marines enough perhaps the Iwasa detachment could march overland to join up and together they would dislodge the Americans. On the 6th the destroyers Amagiri, Uzuki Yunagi and Fumizuki departed Rabual carrying 475 of the special unit with 375 support troops. The small convoy was escorted by Admiral Osugi's destroyer squadron consisting of Urakaze, Kazagumo, Wakatsuki, Makinami, Naganami, Onami and Hayanami. Fortunately for them, the naval force managed to sneak past a PT Boat guard force of 8 PT boats operating out of Puruata Island. On November 7th and 4am the IJN destroyers doubled back and unloaded the troops onto 21 landing barges to make a run for the beach. The 8 PT boats operating patrols in the area had established a new base on Puruata island, but not a single one of the discovered the Japanese landing force. Sailors aboard one of the PT boats reported seeing a strange craft, which might have been one of the barges and consequently a PT boat did check out the report. Yet before it arrived the Japanese were already landed ashore and about to charge into the left flank of the perimeter. The landing craft was seen by a Marine anti-tank platoon along the beach, but they did not fire upon it, thinking it to be American. Thus in the end the amphibious assault was a complete surprise to the Americans. The small Japanese force had landed on the beaches between the Laruma and Koromokina rivers. Not only were the Americans surprised, the Japanese were also surprised to find out the American perimeter extended further west than expected, as a result they would be unable to assemble into a unitary force before a firefight broke out. The Japanese had landed so close to the marine beachhead, the 5th company, 54th regiment were cut off from the Laruma outpost at 6am and were forced to attack the left flank of the perimeter. The Japanese raiders came ashore scattered along two miles of beach on either side of the Laruma River. Major Miwa Mitsuhiro gathered the men he could and sought to take advantage of the element of surprise they held. At 6:30am a skirmish broke out against Company K's 3rd platoon. The platoon had been out patrolling inland towards the Laruma river right at the same time as the landing. The platoon ran right into the force killing some japanese before the platoon leader disengaged realizing the size of the enemy. He took his men into the swamps going eastward, it would turn into a 30 hour grueling adventure. Company K of the 9th marines then were attacked by company 5 of the 54th regiment in a 5 hour long firefight. The guns of the 12th marines and the 90 mm anti-aircraft weapons of the 3rd defense battalion managed to fire upon the invaders who were forced to pull back to some captured foxholes. Company K then launched a counterattack. They found the Japanese dug in 150 yards west of the Laruma river. Fierce fighting broke out, but Company K could not dislodge them. At 1:15pm companies B and C of the 1st battalion, 3rd Marines came in to relieve the exhausted defenders and launched an attack through Company K's position. Major John Brady's men attacked the Japanese in the entrenchments. Company C hit the right flank as B hit the left. Both ran into heavy machine gun fire. The men requested tank support and soon the tanks 37mm were firing upon the Japanese at point blank range causing tremendous casualties. Meanwhile the 1st battalion of the 21st marine led by Lt Colonel Ernest Fry had just landed on Puruata island and they were given orders to spearhead a new assault upon the Japanese. Two LCPRS were sent to evacuate the Laruma outpost and by the night time the marines and Japanese were having shouting matches as they fired upon another. The Japanese yelled "Moline you die" and the Marines made earthy references to Premier Tojo's diet. Marine Captain Gordon Warner was fluent in Japanese, so he could quickly reply to the Japanese, apparently he even yelled believable orders prompting a bayonet charge. He would receive the Navy Cross for destroying machine gun nests with a helmet full of hand grenades, but lost a leg in the battle. Sergeant Herbert Thomas, would give his life near the Koromokina. His platoon was forced prone by machine-gun fire, and Thomas threw a grenade to silence the weapon. The grenade rebounded from jungle vines and the young West Virginian smothered it with his body. He posthumously was awarded the Medal of Honor. The attack would come to a halt, to allow a strong bombardment to hit the Japanese positions provided by the 12th marines. The following morning saw another bombardment by 5 batteries of the 12th marines before Lt Colonel Fry led two companies through the 3rd marines position to attack. They crashed into a concentrated area around 300 yards wide and 600 deep. Light tanks supported the attack. However they would only find slight resistance alongside over 250 dead Japanese. Major Miwa had pulled the men out heading further inland to try and join up with Major General Iwasa Shun's soon to be counteroffensive. The battle cost the marines 17 dead and 30 wounded, but took a hell of a toll on the Japanese. After this action the defensive line behind the Koromokina Lagoon was strengthened. On november 9th, allied dive bombers hit the area to clear it of possible Japanese infiltrators. Patrols in the area would find more Japanese dead and the Marines would ultimately claim over 377 dead Japanese. Over on the Japanese side, the Iwasa Detachment were marching towards the Mission and Numa Numa Trails. These two positions would allow them to thwart a lot of the possible American advance, which they still believed were smaller than they actually were.  Back on November 5th the E company of the 2nd raiders had skirmished with some Japanese at the Piva Trail roadblock. The actions alerted Colonel Edward Craig and he ordered most of the raiders to head north to support the position. On November 7th, Colonel Hamanoue Toshiaki led the 1st battalion to hit part of the roadblock managed by H company. This would be occurring simultaneously with the amphibious assault on the Koromokina. H company supported by some mortars from the 9th marines were able to beat off the attack, giving Major Alan Shapley's G company enough time to come and reinforce the position. By the afternoon, the raiders were forcing the Japanese to retreat over to Piva village where they dug in. Hamanoues men then began to use their new position to fire mortars and artillery into the marine perimeter. The next day, General Iwasa ordered two battalions to attack the position supported by a mortar barrage. However the swamp land on either side of the trail prevented proper flanking maneuvers so the Japanese were forced into a frontal attack. Companies E and F easily repelled the attack receiving aid from the 3rd raiders. The Americans formed a horseshoe defensive formation connecting the roadblock to the main perimeter. The new position was reinforced with mortars from the 9th marines and some light tanks of the 3rd tank battalion. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties for their efforts. E and F company then attempted flanking maneuvers through the treacherous swamps and did manage to hit the Japanese. The heavy fighting eventually resulted in a stalemate and both sides pulled back. The marines had 8 deaths and 27 wounded while it is estimated the Japanese had 125 deaths. On November 9th Major General Roy Geiger arrived at Bougainville to take command of the 1st Marine amphibious corps. Turnage now turned his attention to clearing the Piva Trail as it could threaten the building of the planned airstrips. He ordered the 2nd battalion, 9th marines led by Lt Colonel Roert Cushman into a support position and two raider battalions to clear the trail. Beginning at 7:30am on the 9th, artillery of the 12th marines began to pound the area as the Raiders advanced forward through the narrow trail between the two swamps. Some Japanese had survived the artillery bombardment and began moving 25 yards within the marines position. The raiders ran directly into them beginning a firefight. The action saw a series of thrusts and counter thrusts at point blank range. The Japanese were trying to breakthrough the marine defenses just as the raiders were coming up to smash them. It was fierce fighting and Private 1st Class Henry Gurke of the 3rd raiders was maning one of the tow man foxholes in the forefront that met the attack. To protect his partner Private 1st class Donald Probst firing with a BAR, Gurke pushed Prost aside and tossed himself over a grenade that was thrown into their foxhole. Gurke was killed, saving his friend. Probst would receive a Silver Star Medal and Gurke posthumously received the Medal of Honor. As the brawl raged on Colonel Craig sent in his reserves to check a flanking maneuver right of the roadblock. The marines gradually overcome Iwasa's men causing them to pull back again to Piva village. By midafternoon, the Marines reached the junction of the Piva and Numa Numa trails and would dig in for the night. The marines suffered 12 dead and 30 wounded, while patrols would counter over 140 dead Japanese bodies. If accurate this meant the Japanese had suffered 500 casualties during this four-day combined counteroffensive. To strengthen their new position, bombers from Munda began bombing the 50 yard area on either side of the Piva trail going as far north as Piva village. Afterwards the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 9th marines settled into new defensive position along the Numa-Numa trail and began tossing patrols forward. Meanwhile Turnage and Geiger were seeing the arrival of the first echelon of General Beightlers 37th division. Wilkinsons transports landed the 148th regiment, 5715 troops and 3160 tons of supplies. In response Kusaka tossed 15 Kates and 60 zeros to try and hit the transports during the afternoon. They managed to land a hit on the transport Fuller, killing 5 men and wounding 20, but ultimately it did nothing much. The beach situation had improved a bit, so the 129th and 145th regiments, some 10,277 men were beginning to land alongside 8500 tons of supplies between november 11th and 12th. Im sure by hearing these numbers for the landings you are already realizing how dramatically things had shifted for the allies in the Pacific. There was no way for Japan to challenge such landings at this point, the Americans were simply out producing them in every imaginable way.  Admiral Halsey now sought to smash Rabaul again on the 11th. He planned to launch a three pronged air raid. Sherman's and Montgomery's carriers from the south and General Kenney's bombers from New Guinea. Yet terrible weather hit New Guinea as it typically dose, preventing Kenney's aircraft from participating. Thus the carriers would go it alone. Sherman launched his aircraft in the vicinity of Green island 225 miles from Rabaul. Shermans aircraft ran into 68 Zeros over the harbor. The bombers tried to hit the already damaged heavy cruisers Chokai and Maya, but missed. However within the inner harbor was the light cruisers Agano, and single torpedo landed a critical hit, blowing off a large portion of her stern, flooding her engine room. Montgomery launched his aircraft 160 miles southeast of Rabaul. Essex and Bunker Hill tossed 80 aircraft each, Independence tossed 25 and 24 additional Corsairs came to provide CAP. Lt Commander James Vose led 33 Curtiss SB2C Helldivers, the new dive bomber replacing the Dauntless throughout the fleet. The Naganami was hit by a torpedo and forced to be towed into the harbor. The Suzunami was hit by a dive bomb attack and would sink near the entrance to Rabauls harbor. Strafing from the fighters and bombers inflicted additional damage against light cruiser Yubari; and destroyers Urakaze and Umikaze. 6 zeros were also shot down. While Shermans pilots had managed to withdraw from their raid using rain squalls, Montgomery's group would not be so lucky. Admiral Kusaka responded to the raids by launching one of the largest anti-carrier strikes of the War. The wave consisted of 11 G4M bombers, 27 D3A dive bombers, 14 B5N torpedo bombers and 67 Zeros. Despite radar alerts of the incoming air strike, Montgomery decided to get his aircraft aloft and perhaps carry out another strike. Montgomery was confident in his CAP and his task force was operating a new carrier formation. The carriers were grouped together rather than separated, forming a triangle in a 2000 yard circle with 9 destroyers spaced around evenly around 4000 yards. They would also be utilizing new anti-aircraft fuses. The Japanese pounced on the task force in a battle that would last 45 minutes. The CAP engaged the zeros while the Japanese bombers tried to hit the carriers. Bunker Hill suffered 5 near misses, one one puncturing the hull of the Essec in a number of places. Independence received 4 near misses. It was minor damage and it came at the cost of 2 zeros, 14 kates and 24 vals, absolutely terrible for the Japanese. The action did however stop Montgomery from launching a second strike. In just a week Kusaka had lost 43 zeros out of 82; 38 vals out of 45; 34 kates out of 40; 6 D4Y Susui “comets” out of 6 and 86 pilots out of 192. Such losses were absolutely crushing. Admiral Koga would be forced into a terrible situation later with the invasion of the Gilberts due to a shortage of aircraft. Koga was forced to pull out his surviving carrier planes from Rabaul and replace them with inferior planes and pilots from the Marshalls. But that's it for Bougainville for we are now traveling back to the China theater.  At dusk on November 2nd, General Yokoyam began his offensive into the Changde area. His 39th division advanced southwest of Yidu, followed by the 13th division headed to Nanmu; the 3rd division with the Sasaki detachment headed for Wanjiachangzhen; and the 68th and 116th divisions plus the Toda Detachment attacked the Anxiang. After routing some smaller forces out of the way, the 13th and 3rd divisions attacked the 79th army along the Nanmu-Wangjiachangzhen line on november 5th, while the 116th and 68th divisions hit the 44th army near Anxiang. Commander of the 10th army group, Lt General Wang Jingjiu assembled the 66th army at Niajiahezhen and ordered Major General Wang Jiaben to resist the enemy at all costs. The Chinese were absolutely crushed by the two Japanese divisions and were forced to retreat towards Moshi with the Japanese in hot pursuit.  Meanwhile the 116th and 68th divisions hit both flanks of Anxiang breaking General Wang Zuanxu's lines held by the 29th army. Zuanxu had to order a withdrawal and from that point the 116th pursued the 44th army towards Jinshi where they annihilated a small part of the unit. To the north on November the 9th the Miyawaki Detachment was advancing to Nanmu and the Sasaki detachment to Xinguanzhen, white the 3rd and 13th divisions were catching up to the 79th army in the Moshi area. The 13th division attacked Moshi while the 3rd division attacked Xinmin. During this battle the 79th army was effectively destroyed as a fighting force. After this, Yokoyama ordered the 3rd division and Sasaki detachment to attack Shimen where the 73rd army was defending. Yokoyama also ordered the 116th division to attack Chongyang and for the 68th division to advance by river towards Hanshou. This was all done in preparation for the upcoming attack against Changde, being defended by Major General Wang Yaowu's 74th and 100th armies. On November 14th, the Japanese offensive hit Shiman, seeing the defeat of the 73rd army in just two days. On the 19th, the second phase of the offensive began with the 3rd division joining up with the 116th to attack Chongyang. Simultaneously, the 13th division and Sasaki detachment began an occupation of Tzuli. On the 21st the assault of Chongyang began seeing the 51st and 58th divisions of the 74th army crushed. From Chongyang the Japanese forces immediately began an advance towards Changde. The 13th division met tough resistance from the remnants of the 29th army group led by Wang Zuangxu. The Chinese were able to utilize the mountainous terrain to their benefit hitting the Japanese with artillery. The 68th division defeated the 100th army at Hanshou and then annihilated its remaining survivors around Junshanpuzhen. This left only Major General Yu Chengwan's 57th division defending Changde.  Unbeknownst to Yokoyama, General Xue Yue had dispatched reinforcements led by Lt Generals Li Yutang and Ou Zhen to try and halt the Japanese offensive. By November 23rd, Yokoyama's assault on Changde began. The 3rd, 68th and 116th divisions surrounded the city. Two days later the 30,000 Japanese began attacking Yu Chengwan's brave 8300 defenders. The defenders were hit with artillery and aerial bombardment. With each attack the Chinese were pushed back little by little until they only held 300 meters around their main command post. Yu Chengwan's only hope was to hold on until the reinforcements arrived to try and make a breakthrough, but by December the 1st the 3rd and 68th divisions performed a pincer attack defeating them. On December 2nd, Yu Chengwan was forced to evacuate the city. Changde fell on the 3rd of December and Yokoyama celebrated the success by ordering chemical and biological units to attack cities in the region. Whenever the Japanese found too much resistance they had Unit 516 deploy chemical weapons in liquid or gas forms including mustard gas, lewisite, cyanic acid gas and phosgene. Some of the weaponry was still in experimental stages. Artillery was used to launch shells filled with the gas into cities inflicting massive civilian casualties. Most of the artillery shells contained mustard gas and lewisite. The effect of the chemical weapons caused massive panic to both humans and livestock. Its alleged bubonic plague was also deployed and spread within a 36 km radius of Changde city. It is estimated 300,000 civilians would be killed in Changde alone, alongside 50,000 soldiers. The Japanese began to withdraw on December 9th, but by this time Ou Zhen launched a counteroffensive and managed to reclaim the city. By December 24th, the 11th Army returned to their original positions, for the Japanese it was another hit and run offensive, aimed to cause massive death. The Japanese suffered 1274 deaths and 2977 wounded, though these are their claims and they most likely lost more. The Chinese estimated 14,000 had died with 10,000 being captured.  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

If you are still hungry after that, give my personal channel a look over at The Pacific War Channel at Youtube, it would mean a lot to me. The Japanese counteroffensive against the Marine beachhead on Bougainville was not going according to plan. Admiral Halsey gave Rabaul another crushing air raid and now the Japanese air power in the pacific was dwindling dangerously. Within China the horror of Japan and their chemical and biological units continued. 

The majority (roughly 80%) of people do not currently have a clinical psychological problem. In other words, they are not struggling with navigating life on a daily basis due to disease, disorder or dysfunction, but rather they are actually suffering from developmental stagnation. And simply being “more positive” is not the answer. To discuss what this means and how it impacts the world of coaching, I interviewed Sasha Heinz, Ph.D., MAPP. Dr. Heinz is a Developmental Psychologist and Coach, and an expert in Positive Psychology, adult development, and transformational change. She shared how “toxic positivity” actually hinders lasting change, and some powerful ways we can elevate our coaching through developmental support.  “The way that you conceptualize the world isn't sophisticated enough for the problems you're facing. Right? So this is what most people are actually struggling with.

In this very funny, warm and enlightening episode with the very funny and skilled teacher, strength and conditioning coach, Phd candidate, author and broadcaster Craig Harper is all about understanding what drives your behaviours and how to get your brain to behave. We go deep into meta cognition Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes, cognitive abilities, and the strategies used for learning or problem-solving. It involves thinking about one's thinking, reflecting on one's cognitive processes, and having the ability to monitor and control one's mental activities. At the end of the day, we all generally know what is good for us and what isn't - why then don't we always do the 'right thing", eat the right food, sleep when we should, exercise appropriately In this episode Craig shares in his very light hearted and funny way some very serious issues that we all face. How to actually do what we want to do How to stop our brain sabotaging our activities How to create constructive habits How to step outside your own thinking to evaluate what and why you are doing and feeling that way. This is an episode that will empower you, that will help you look at the what's really going on in your mind without judgment or guilt.

Diana Asaad joins me on the show to share how couples who have been drifting apart, losing connection, and living parallel lives can choose to get their marriage back on track. Get Diana's free Marriage Toolkit and Intentional Date Night Guidelines. Get your copy of Journey to You: Fierce Freedom, Authentic Passion, Gracious God.   Show Notes: Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: Welcome, everyone. This is Dr. Sandra, and you're listening to I Choose My Best Life. Today, we are chatting with a friend of mine about a topic that I think is so important. And that is marriage. Has your marriage gotten to a point where you feel like you are just existing with each other? No connection? No loving feelings anymore? Just In a house together. If that's the situation, marriage is a good thing. And God wants us to be in covenant with our spouses. And I have with me today Diana Assad, and she is a master-certified intensive coach. Christian counselor and marriage therapist is going to help us to be able to get back on track with this most covenant relationship. So Diana, welcome for being here. I'm so happy to have you. I want you to start by just sharing a little bit about your own personal background and history in this topic. Diana Asaad: Yeah. Thank you for having me. I really appreciate that. This process was birthed out of brokenness. Our own marriage was falling apart. We had hit rock bottom. We'd been married for over a decade at that point, but we were really just existing. We didn't know what we didn't know. And as things sometimes do, it felt like everything around us was imploding. So marriage and personal and kids and all the things, financial, it was like being bankrupt in all the areas. And it was our search for healing. We knew that there had to be a better way. We knew that this wasn't the life that God had called us to, but we didn't really know what that could look like. We couldn't find what we have established now. And it was out of that process of really searching and piecing together things and following God closely that we developed a solution oriented approach, really, to healing as well as Skill building in the emotional intelligence arena, two things that I think have been fundamental to our own process. And what we do today with clients. So we really are very grateful for that. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: Oh, I love it. You took your pain and became solution areas for others. I want to jump into that because I feel this is a topic we all want to have healthy marriages. And sometimes I fear we don't know when things are falling apart. We just see it when it's all in a mess. And one of the things you mentioned is that over 85 percent of the people that you work with tend to come to you when they are in crisis mode. What does that look like? How does someone know if they're, I don't even want to wait till people get in crisis mode. How do you know when you're headed in that direction? Oh, good. Diana Asaad: Such a great question. So yeah, about 85 percent of the couples that do see us are coming as a last resort. Some of them have already filed for divorce. Some of them are separated. But a lot of them, the majority of them, do feel like they're in crisis mode. And we look at that as living parallel lives. So we do this a lot with the parallel living. Two hands that have a gap between them going in different directions. And that represents that we've drifted so far. Life has just gotten in the way. We came in with a set of expectations, probably misguided, dysfunctional ideals and ideas of what marriage should look like. And we've just existed. And we've let life get in the way. And we drift. And we get to a place a lot of times, at least when they come to us, a lot of them have come to a place where there's no connection, there's no communication, they feel frustrated, they've been having the same argument over and over, and there's no exit ramp. And so this cycle that doesn't, seems never ending has a way out. And that is a very distinct process that we walk people with. And really what we found, Dr. Sandra, is this, is that nobody teaches us how to be married. And we need somebody to hold our hand and looking and examine our foundations in relationship and say, Hey, this has some elements of dysfunction. This doesn't work in a healthy relationship. We got to uproot some things. We got to teach them what it looks like to resolve their issues. So we actually asked them through the process to come up with their top five to seven recurring issues that if they wish, if we had a magic wand and we could we could wave that thing and these would be resolved. They would be absolute game changers for their relationship. So we work, we roll up our sleeves with them, we dig into that, we teach them what resolution looks like for each of those areas. And we have 94 percent success at resolving their top recurring issues to their satisfaction. When they leave us, they get to review and to tell us what their process looks like. And these issues that have been coming up for years in a lot of these cases, they now know a path forward that looks different. And what I love is that it's not a one and done, as healing never is, as life never is, right? We help them to develop healthy habits moving forward. So we work with them on an action plan for the next six months. They leave with with an action plan, step by step of what change and healthy relationship needs to look like and how do we develop these habits. So it's a fun process. It's also pretty intense. I won't lie. It's diving into the deep end, but you're not alone, really guided through and I always tell my clients, I'm just as exhausted as you are after we're all done. Okay. We're in it together. So that's really it's our Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: joy. I think that's so true that what you mentioned as far as most of us have this, these moments in our life when things get hard and if we're not careful, it can be very easy to drift apart because sometimes we handle things as individuals, even within our marriage, and we have to keep the communication open, even when we're dealing with individual things within our own lives. And I want to go a little bit deeper into some of what you described there, because It sounds intensive. We're bringing up our top five issues that we, that are keeping us at this kind of arguing and this torn apart relationship. We're bringing those up. I can imagine there's a lot of forgiving that has to happen there. There's a lot of grace that has to occur that space has to feel really safe and hopeful. How do you create that type of space between two people who are in friction with each other? Diana Asaad: So good. We really focus on creating safe space and not just creating it within our context of our retreat, but teaching the clients how to do that moving forward. I really find that's a skill that not a lot of people understand or know how to do, but once they are introduced to it as a practical skill, they take to it. So creating safe spaces for us is a space for us not to feel judged, shamed, blamed, fixed. Or take things personally from the other side, right? The moment if I'm sharing with my husband something and we're intending to make these safe spaces, the minute he takes it personally, he can't be present with me. And a lot of our males, we tend to find, are fixers. So the minute that a woman might open her mouth to begin to try and create that connection through emotional, just processing, the husband gets his fixer hat on. We call it his fixer hat. And he's already thinking, Okay this is a problem. I need to fix it. But creating safe spaces isn't about fixing another person. It's really about being present with them. I may not process like you. I may not understand how you understand. But I seek to understand you. You matter to me. So we actually lead them through what that looks like, because it is about forgiveness. It is about grace, but it's also about changed behavior. When I have hope that this is going to resolve that I am under, I'm being sought to understand the other person. That's a really big deal. I often say this, that the number one problem I see in relationships is not the things that you would typically think finance. Those are valid. And those might be more on the surface, but if we're going to get into the root of it, it's that one or both of the couple parties doesn't feel like they matter anymore. So creating safe spaces is the remedy to that. We create that space to let them know, hey, I want you to know, I may not think like you, understand like you, process like you, but you matter to me. And this is how we're gonna do it. I'm not gonna judge you, I'm not gonna shame you, I'm not gonna blame you, I'm not gonna try and fix you, and I'm not gonna take this personally. I'm just allowing you the space that you need. To process whatever it is that you've been carrying. And that in itself is a skill that's so healing. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: Yes, it is. And I oftentimes call that restful is I term an emotional rest, that ability of being able just to share what's inside of you without the fear of shame and judgment, I love this concept of seeking to understand the other person, really being the gap that division between those parallel. Lives is that once we start seeking to truly to understand the other person, that gap closes. And you have a book that's out. I think that helps with that because sometimes the issue isn't just that we aren't verbalizing it. Sometimes we don't understand ourselves. It's hard to share yourself when you're still trying. You're still in self discovery mode. You're still trying to figure a lot of it out yourself. And so your latest book journey to you. Fierce freedom, authentic passion, and gracious God really focuses on this. It focuses on the self discovery aspect and the spiritual growth aspect. How can that be helpful in this process of reconnecting these two lives? Diana Asaad: So good. I look at even couple work, whether it's couple work or individual work as an inward, upward, outward process. So I tell couples, even when they're in my presence, I'll say to them, I know if we were just to fix the other person, everything would be great, but that's not really true. The only person that you have. authority over and control over for real changes right here, you, right? You can't change another person. And so if we have a false identity, an insecure identity, don't know who we are, we're going to seek to find that in other places. And typically it's in our spouse. Who's also pretty imperfect. Last time I checked, right? Even the good ones, they're still imperfect. And so it is an inward, upward, outward process. The book Journey to You really does chronicle my own journey of understanding what identity looked like. It's not just my journey, it's also scripturally taken from The story of Mary of Bethany and the different aspects of her life that mirror things in my life. And then why does it matter to the reader? So each chapter is really full of practical application with a dig deeper devotion at the very end of the chapter where they can take the elements that they've learned and really apply them to their life in a way that's transformative. For instance, one of the chapters is about name confusion. I wrestled with my name all my life. I was born in a Middle Eastern family, didn't like our last name. I found out later on, like in high school, that my name legally is Diane, but I was raised a Diana, so it was a crisis of identity, and I would blame my immigrant parents all the time. But name confusion was a real thing for me. It was also a name confusion was also a really big thing for Mary of Bethany. Her name, Mary, means bitter. Her place, Bethany, Beth ah nia, means this, means house of struggle. So here, you have a picture of a woman whose name means bitter, and her place is a house of struggle. And yet, it's chronicled in scripture just how impactful, how she understood things that even the disciples didn't understand. How her sacrifice was so pleasing unto the Lord. So our names, if we're not secure in our identity, if we don't get to walk with God and wrestle out what do you call me? God, I may have come from this place of bitterness. I may have come from this house of struggle. I may have not liked my name for many years, but Lord, what do you call me? Where is my security and my identity in you? So it's really a practical approach to how to work that out from that perspective. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: Oh, good. So good. When we're thinking about this with each couple, what are some just really practical tips we can begin to offer them if someone's listening right now and they're thinking this sounds like something my spouse and I need to do, what are some ways they can begin to foster better communication and connection starting today? Diana Asaad: I love that. So one thing that we can do is what we call an intention date. Set aside some time. I like to do these in a separate location. Don't do it in your living room. Try and find a coffee shop or something where the two of you can get a change of atmosphere. We find that a change of place helps us have a change of Perspective. We like to find maybe a location outside and you would sit together. And you would begin to talk about things that need to be talked about, but maybe we, because we've lived so separate and parallel for a long time, we don't have space to talk about them. This is funny. I'm smiling a little bit because a lot of people will share this intention date framework with people. And then I'll get random emails from couples I've never met. Saying, Hey you worked with so and so a year ago and they told us about this. Can we have that framework, please? So it seems to be something that a lot of people really take to. And an intention date is simply this, asking three questions in eight areas of your life, and you're doing it about monthly to get a read, take a temperature. You ask these three questions, where are we, where do we want to be? And what's one thing we can do this month to help move us in that direction? So really manageable, really actionable. And the eight areas are, you're going to look at your spiritual life and practices. Where are we? Where do we want to be? What's one thing we can do to move us in that direction? Your marriage, your family life, your finances, your personal and fun, your ministry or giving back purpose. Your work, whatever that looks like, so housework, business, or vocation. aNd then finally, your health, and that's mental and physical. So those are the eight buckets, if you will. Three questions, eight areas. Make it your own. And this and more is also found in our online toolkit that we make available to anybody. And that's at relentlessmarriage. com slash toolkit. They would have access to this and some powerful pattern interrupters, conversation starters, and things that would help in their relationship. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: Oh, that sounds amazing. I love this idea of an intention date. I think many of us have heard of date night and sometimes and date nights are good. Don't get me wrong, but I feel like sometimes it's just dinner out and nothing really gets accomplished. You go out and you have a great meal together or you do something fun together. But if, but this intention date, there's some really specific. Specific guidelines that actually helps you come out of it, feeling like you have accomplished something within your relationship. It helps rebuild that connection. So again, they can receive this free marriage kit at relentless marriage. com slash toolkit. Correct. Yes, correct. Excellent. I wanted to just hear a little bit of maybe about a success story or a memorable experience that you've had as a master certified intensive marriage coach. What's one that really just stuck in your Diana Asaad: heart? Yeah. Actually, this one was an interesting one. This was a woman who is in my one on one practice because she actually came on because her husband refused to do any kind of marriage work. And she came to me with a lot of anxiety and actually a physical... Issue that wasn't going away. She had a degenerative brain disease. And so her circumstances were really difficult. And I just encouraged her and in the beginning a lot of the sessions were built around the frustration with the spouse and I just kept redirecting her and giving her some practical things about what is within her control. How can we change what's within our control? And here are some things that we can begin to do. And I kept assuring her that as she does the work, as she begins to practice this, there will be an overflow effect. And I kept saying, just trust me, you'll see something happen, whatever that looks like. Sometimes our spouses get so uncomfortable because we've done all this changing and they have to begin doing their own changing as a result. And sometimes things become clear to us, like we need some additional help and things become evident. We'd been working together for about a year and She sent me a beautiful update. She had just re had this realization. In the update she said, Today, I saw a part of my spouse I hadn't seen in maybe ever. What you had told me about the overflow effect, when I stopped focusing on him changing and started to see the things that were within my control, the things I could change, I can't tell you how different it's made the dynamic between us. And she was just thanking me, and she's saying, one step at a time. I see this changing, not just for me, but also for my kids. So she was just expressing her gratitude. Now, what's interesting is this. Her circumstances didn't change. She still had this brain disease. That she understood was going to probably do some serious damage to her physical body. Her circumstances didn't change, but she did. She, the change that she started to flourish under, I believe is going to have lasting impact on all the areas of her life. I want to encourage your listeners that sometimes it's not so much the circumstances that we can have control over, but we do have control over right here. And I think with God's help, honestly, that's the best place to be. Often a prayer that I pray and I instruct my clients to pray is this Lord, change my heart or change my circumstances. But change something, God, because something's got to change. So when we get to that space, Lord, just change me or change my circumstances. And this was just a beautiful expression of that story, that prayer come to life. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: We've been chatting with Diana Asad. She's the author of Journey to You. Fierce freedom, authentic passion, gracious God, and a master certified intensive coach and Christian counselor. I want to make sure people know how to connect with you, Diana. If they want to join, you have a marriage retreat, you do online counseling and therapy sessions. You travel and speak, you do a lot. So, how can people connect with you to learn more about your services and ways that they can work with you? Diana Asaad: Yes, thank you. I think the best way is through our website, Diana Assad dot com. And that's d I a n a s a d dot com. There's also a free ebook right on that page about the emotional resilience roadmap. And I think that's really valuable for folks as well. But that's our hub where they can get. Onto the marriage intensive receipt treat site. They can get into the one-on-one and see about the books and the coaching that we offer. So it's all housed under dianaaside. com. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith: Excellent. And I will link to that in the show notes, as well as to the marriage toolkit where you can get your date night guidelines to help you get back on track with that communication with your spouse. Diana, thank you so much for joining me today. Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.

Staying Healthy in the Hustle and Bustle of the Holidays   I had the distinct pleasure of getting sick recently. I haven't been sick in so long, and not once since becoming an amputee. I was on a vacation and burning the candle at both ends. I'm sure, between being around a lot of people and lack of sleep my immune system became compromised, leading me to having tingly skin, sore muscles, nausea and sleepiness.  What I wasn't expecting was how my amputee body would react, or even THAT it would react. Yep, you guessed it, phantom pains!!!   Laying with my girl when I struggle brings peace and healing.   As if all that other stuff wasn't enough to take me down, I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing phantom pains and the total discomfort that added to all the other symptoms. It was crazy, and it totally sucked!!! Listening to my body and knowing how much I run myself into the ground during the holidays I decided I needed to make some changes and adjust my thinking and patterns. How about you? Are you taking care of yourself? What are you doing to take care of yourself when you're up against a demanding schedule? Let me help you create a positive and healthy change during this holiday season so you can be at the top of your celebration game!     Here's my challenge (AKA Call to Action): Take time each day, from now until the end of the year, for yourself. accept my challenge from last week's podcast and take on the Fierce and On Fire Virtual Challenge- 100 miles by Dec 31.

Enjoy the wonderful journey and work it took for Kai Blankner to become one of the fastest mountain bikers in Texas, from riding a push-bike at age 3 to finishing 1st in the 29 and under age group in multiple Marathon Mountain Bike races (42 miles or more). It's a formula you could replicate for yourself or your own kids, whatever you/they are in to. Also, we talk in detail about the brutal 60 mile Austin Rattler that he just finished. It's a Leadville 100 qualifier and the competition was FIERCE. We give the inside tips on how you could get a lucky spot, so listen in!

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" I interview one of the world's leading phytochemical and nutrigenomics researchers who specializes in sulforaphane.  Todays episode is all about improving cellular health, the core of health, and how activating the Nrf2 pathway through such phytonutrients like Sulforaphane (the precursors of which Glucoraphanin and Myrosinase) are found in Broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous veggies.  You will learn: How sulforaphane upregulates the Nrf2 pathway  How the Nrf2 pathway acts as a master switch, turning on over 250 genes and impacting thousands of enzymes in their function.  How the Nrf2 pathway upregulates the cells own intelligent endogenous antioxidant systems  Why just throwing a bunch of antioxidants into the body doesn't work in quenching oxidative stress The impact of upregulating Nrf2 in relation to the gut  How it has system wide implications  Why probiotics don't colonize the gut like you think they do How probiotics (or certain strains) can still be useful in immune modulation  Why you should have a food first approach The traps to watch out for when buying a 'sulforaphane' supplement and why most of the ones on the market are a waste of your time and money How long you should take it, typical dosing regimens, combinations with other phytonutrients and supplements. How to use this information to optimize your health  Why it pays to work with one of Dr Christines trained G.E.M.M protocol trained clinicians  Why some people have a reaction when they start, and why that means you need it most and how to adjust the dosing while not giving up    BIO Dr Christine Houghton has enjoyed a fulfilling and varied career in Nutritional Medicine spanning more than 30 years — and her influential work continues to stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving profession. As a clinician, author and educator, she is dedicated to promoting a model of health care that closely reflects the diet and lifestyle choices Mother Nature would choose herself. An individual's unique biochemistry is a significant contributor to this model. Christine's intense appreciation of the power of food as therapy began in the 1970s, an era when there were very few supplements available. With few other choices, she soon discovered the real power of food as a potent clinical intervention tool; to this day, she adopts a 'food first' philosophy. A decade into practice, she established a thriving multi-disciplinary practice, the Centre for Integrated Medicine near Brisbane. There, she specialized in musculoskeletal conditions, glucose-regulating disorders including type 2 diabetes and other cardio metabolic conditions, digestive health and infant and child health, especially those associated with immune dysfunction. Passionate about the relationship between nutrients, phytochemicals and cellular defenses, Christine subsequently engaged in research at the University of Queensland, earning her a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry-Nutrigenomics. Christine is highly-regarded internationally as an expert in the clinical application of the broccoli-derived phytochemical, Sulforaphane in human health. As founding director of Cell-Logic, she has formulated a number of nutrigenomically-active supplements which are underpinned by her doctoral research. In addition to her scientific and other publications, Christine is the co-author of two evidence-based nutrigenomics courses: FOUNDATIONS IN NUTRIGENOMICS and ADVANCED TRANSLATIONAL NUTRIGENOMICS, both self-paced online courses for practicing clinicians and the only comprehensive courses of their kind available anywhere globally. A regular speaker at Australian and international conferences, Christine is an engaging speaker whose evidence-based presentations often challenge existing paradigms.   Health Optimisation and Life Coaching with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

New York-based drummer, composer, and educator Allison Miller has played with singer/songwriters like Brandi Carlile, Ani DiFranco, or Natalie Merchant, but she's best known for her own bands, and her own music, which is usually labeled jazz, but you'll hear elements of rock, funk and folk in there too. She's the bandleader of the chamber jazz band Boom Tic Boom, and is part of the all-star jazz group Artemis along with many other collaborations. Allison Miller's latest album, Rivers In Our Veins, features a new band, including several members of Boom Tic Boom but with tap dancers as well.  Allison Miller presents the full multimedia Rivers In Our Veins on Nov. 25 at Roulette.  Commissioned by Mid Atlantic Arts Organization and Lake Placid Center for the Arts, Rivers In Our Veins is inspired by five major rivers of the Northeast United States  – the James, Delaware, Potomac, Hudson and Susquehanna – their history, how they serve the communities around them, and how those communities need to better upkeep them. Allison Miller goes deep with research about rivers and social movement — migratory movement — along rivers, as well as what she learned from the River Keepers. [Much more about Rivers In Our Veins.] Her top-shelf band, with violinist Jenny Scheinman, bassist Todd Sickafoose, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, trumpeter Jason Palmer, and pianist Carmen Staaf, along with two phenomenally talented tap dancers, perform selections from Rivers In Our Veins, in-studio.

Creating Positive Momentum Through Challenges   This week let's challenge ourselves! Let's face the mountain head on and not veer out of fear. It's time to unleash the warrior within you, are you ready?? Well it doesn't matter, now is the time! If you wait until you are "ready" then the time will never come.   SO how did I start my amputee journey, you ask? I was ready! I was nervous, of course, but when I came to grips with it I was ready to soar. I began to dream and wonder what I could accomplish, what hurdles I would overcome, what new things I would learn. To say that I was excited about the possibilities, would be an understatement.   I began by wearing my leg out of the prosthetist office and using it all day every day for a week...WITHOUT PT! Needless to say, I was so bruised on my femur bone! I mean, I was walking, and so proud of myself, but I needed help tweaking my form and gait. After I took some PT I began a new journey with new dreams. I was going to reinvent myself, whatever it took!   I had about 12 goals set for myself, even before my amputation, about what I would accomplish as an amputee. Obviously I wanted to walk as naturally as possible, and as soon as possible, but there is no shortcut or magic potion to make that happen. It takes grit, determination and consistency.  But how do you maintain consistency, especially with something that is scary, uncertain, and hard to do? What I did was register for virtual races! Not only did I have set miles but I also had the metaphorical carrot dangling in front of me...the cool looking medals!! My very 1st race as an amputee! This started it all and how I got use to my prosthetic leg. For me, that's all it took! I registered for my first 150 mile race in May, a month after getting my prosthetic leg. I made a promise to myself that all of my steps in my leg would count toward my miles, then I introduced myself to the large Facebook group and told them of my goals. Not only did writing it down for all to see make me accountable for my goal, it also gave me a HUGE cheering squad with this new group of friends! And this is where it all began! I attribute my success of learning to walk again to my virtual races.   These were the ones I did the first 1 1/2 after becoming an amputee! They all have special meaning, depending on what I was trying to accomplish, how I felt or what I was going through.     It's your turn now, and I'm going to help you and be there by your side as we do this together! Let's crush a goal before this year ends. No better time than the present to start, and the best time of year to make time for yourself. The link below is to register for a 100 mile virtual race. I have already registered and I want you on my team! I will create a private Facebook group too, just for those who join this race with me. Can't run? No problem-WALK! Can't walk? Bike, recumbent, stationary or  traditional. Can't do those things? SWIM, use a hand bike, exercise with stretch bands, dumbbells or body weight!   The sky's the limit on how you go about logging your miles. 3 miles of biking= 1 mile of running/walking exercising moderately 30 min=1 mile of running/walking etc, etc, etc   You see where I'm coming from? We can all do something to help us feel better and get on track. So no matter where you are, don't think for one second that you can't do something in some way, shape, or form! It is time to unleash your inner warrior! Fight for the life you want! Start today and let me walk alongside you and your journey! After all, we all need someone who gets us where we are at.   I'm here for you so won't you join me on this virtual race? Join me and let's "sleigh" this holiday season! No excuses, no surrender!!!   Click HERE to register for the Fierce and On Fire Challenge   Oh, and did I mention that not only are you helping your...

This week on "Pushing the Limits" I talk Mindset, resilience, the life of an athlete with the indomitable Tiffanee Cook - boxer, sexual abuse survivor, business owner, podcaster and all round vulnerable/tough chick.   DING, DING, DING... No turning back now, hands encased in leather, mouth guard in and the world and everyone else in it faded into the background. Sights, sounds, thoughts, stories... gone. Blows, danger, failure, truth... standing toe to toe, bearing a soul not yet seen.8pm October 27, 2012   ROUND 1 Was this the first time she had truly 'let go', 29 years in? Over in both a heartbeat and yet an eternity rolled into one. Terror, adrenaline, fear, courage, isolation, trust, visibility and uncertainty. Yet ironically, a certainty she had never-before experienced.   'Letting go' wasn't what she'd dreamt it to be. Emerging with both hands now free to grab hold of a whole new reality. Perhaps she wasn't truly born in 1983, but rather in a ring in 2012. The referee clutched that now free left hand and raised it above her head. A stance that changed her forever. The underdog can come out on top... they don't even have to know the rules.   One crazy 'say-yes' moment accidentally and deliberately changed the course of this girl's life. Through the gloom and darkness, a crack of light showed a path, a doorway she could and would eventually walk right through. Boxing was the playground that allowed Tiffanee Cook to develop the courage, grit, resilience, curiosity, vulnerability and power that had lay dormant within her and bend and twist it to her favor. The fight wasn't over on October 27, 2012... It had just begun, and she was now a force to be reckoned with.   BIO Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face". Tiffanee Cook has learned this as a businesswoman, performance coach and boxer; from the comfort, predictability and safety provided by the corporate world, to the lessons and let-downs in and out of the boxing ring. Coming to the realization that, in order to have one's hand raised in triumph, adversity, discomfort and combat must be navigated. In the face of the messiness of life, do we fight or do we flee? Tiffanee speaks openly of her own personal experiences (good and bad) and how those experiences have enabled her to develop self-awareness, resilience, courage, independence and the skill to be able to maximize passion, possibilities and potential. She talks about getting knocked down (literally and metaphorically) and what it is that makes some of us get back up and some, stay down. Working in business, sport, high performance and personal development, Tiffanee explores a range of ideas, tools, skills, resources, philosophies and strategies to empower individuals, teams and organizations to improve everything from productivity, efficiency, culture and communication to physical, mental, emotional and social health.   Health Optimisation and Life Coaching with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

Subconscious Realms Episode 229 - Tantric Pantheon PT9 - The Fierce Demon-Destroying/The Violent & Impetuous One - Chandika/Chandi & Lion-Headed Dakini - Simhamukha. Ladies & Gentlemen, on this Episode of Subconscious Realms we welcome back The Host & Creator of - Threshold Saints Podcast- Jin The Ninja for PT9 of The Tantric Pantheon... Brace yourself & it shall be indeed Wise for you to at very least keep handy spare Underwear or even invest in Adult Diapers, you will most likely Shit your pants after listenin to such Mind-Melting, World Changing Information. "Fierce Demon-Destroying - Chandika/The Violent & Impetuous One - Chandi"; (Sanskrit: “The Fierce”) demon-destroying form of the Hindu goddess Shakti, particularly popular in eastern India. She is known by various names, such as Mahamaya (“Great Magic”) or Abhaya (“She Who Is Without Fear”). Her representation is similar to that of Durga, another form of Shakti. She is shown with either 8 or 10 arms, seated on a lion vehicle. Hundreds of folktales and songs tell of her exploits. She is the central figure of an extensive medieval Bengali literature known as Chandi-mangal, the most famous of which is that of Mukundarama Chakravarti (c. 16th century). The form that Goddess Durga took to annihilate demons Chanda and Munda is unimaginable and it is beyond the capacity of human beings. The net result is that sculptures, idol makers and writers wanted to better what was imagined by the previous generation. Thus we have numerous forms of Goddess Chandika. Symbolically the Goddess Chandika form is that of the Violent Mother Nature, who annihilates her sons, who have strayed from the path of Dharma. It must be noted here that the form that Goddess Durga took to kill Chanda and Munda is also known as Goddess Chamunda. "Lion-Headed Dakini - Simhamukha"; Simhamukha is a supreme dakini in Tibetan Buddhism, who combines anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features. She is an wrathful emanation of Guhya Jnana Dakini (Tib. Sangwa Yeshe Khandroma) and is revered in the Nyingma school as one of Padmasambhava's main teachers. Simhamukha is associated with exorcist rituals that prevent black magic and eliminate harmful effects. The ritual practice includes the use of a kapala and a metal mirror on which dharmodaya (“the source of reality”, symbolically depicted in the shape of a tetrahedron) is painted with red powder, in the center of which is written HUNG, the bija mantra of the wrathful goddesses. The mantra of Simhamukha, AH KA SA MA RA TSA SHA DA RA SA MA RA YA PHAT, is known as “the fierce mantra of fourteen letters that averts all magical attacks” (ngag drag log yige chuzhipa). It can be pronounced in a reverse way during extremely wrathful rituals, and it can also be written on the human body to create the so-called “vajra armor” (dorje gotrab) of the subtle body....
