Marian Flaxmann, Holistic Health Coach, chef, and Biomedical Science Policy Wonk joined me on the Complicated Kids podcast to talk about food allergies, food as medicine and her journey to health. Fussy, colicky, rash-y, and uncomfortable are the words Marian uses to describe her first child as a newborn. She cried all the time; she needed to be held all the time. The doctors said this was ‘fine'; Marian didn't buy it. She googled something like, “Can babies be allergic to breastmilk” and decided to go on a temporary elimination diet. Within 24 hours, her baby's crying, gas, rash, and discomfort went away. And so began Marian's journey to heal her child's gut and microbiome. By adding foods back into her diet slowly, Marian was able to figure out the foods that her daughter was and wasn't allergic to. Marian brought this curiosity and her health knowledge to her other two daughters, who were also complicated kids. You won't want to miss this informative and lively conversation.

Greetings and welcome to a brand new episode of The F Word at Work. Before we kick things off, we genuinely value your feedback, so kindly consider leaving us a review on the platform you're using to listen, whether it's Apple or Spotify. Now, in this episode, we have the pleasure of being joined by Emma Flaxman. Emma's career had been centered around marketing for many years. However, in 2019, she received a remarkable opportunity to become a mental health first-aid volunteer, which proved to be a life-changing decision, eventually leading her to her current role in a PhD position.A deeply personal reason drove Flaxman to seize this chance as she had experienced the harrowing possibility of losing her sister to suicide ten years prior. The mental health training inspired her to establish MINDS, the first DE&I Group within Ph.D. As a result, she was soon entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing Wellbeing content for the entire parent group, Omnicom Media Group (OMG).Within her Wellbeing role, Emma created a range of resources to educate employees on the impact of mental illness on work. She initiated projects like the Open Letters series, aiming to foster open conversations about mental health experiences among Ph.D. employees. She also made mental health training mandatory for all employees, previously an optional initiative, and passionately advocated for new benefits, such as providing free therapy to all employees. This move gained overwhelming support, with Ph.D. boasting the highest number of sign-ups for this program compared to any other agency within OMG. What we discussed:● Introduction to the podcast and the guest, Emma Flaxman.● Emma's background and roles as a wellbeing partner at PhD, a UK media agency.● Emma's blog, "Insanely Normal," and her mission to promote mental health awareness in the UK.● Emma's recent journey to becoming a mental health advocate, starting with her training as a Mental Health First Aider in 2019.● Emma's personal motivation, as her sister's struggles with mental health inspired her to help others.● The increase in mental health-related calls after her training, and the insights she gained from the data collected during those calls.● Discussion on workplace support for mental health and the role of workplace wellbeing.● Comparison of experiences in promoting mental health in the workplace between the host's project, Fertility Matters at Work, and Emma's initiatives.● The importance of data and evidence in making a business case for workplace wellbeing.● The relationship between building a positive workplace culture and the mental health of employees.● The importance of mental health support in the workplace and the impact of COVID-19 on mental health discussions.● The role of managers in promoting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.● The need for proactive mental health support and the shift from reactive to proactive approaches.● Challenges in discussing and disclosing mental health issues, particularly in relation to fertility issues.● Strategies for smaller organizations to address mental health without extensive resources.● The importance of role modeling and leadership in creating a psychologically safe environment.● The significance of education and understanding different aspects of wellness, including physical, nutrition, and mental health.● Emma's personal experience with burnout and the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care.Thanks to our sponsor Apricity FertilityYou...

When we position ourselves towards God in every area of our life, God can work through us. Unlike the people in the 400 years of silence between Micah and Matthew, who let complacency and worldliness creep in and did not recognise Christ when he came. May we believe again and be filled with faith.

The number of children who become orphans because of Covid-19 rises each week: over 10.5 million children around the world have lost a parent or other caregiver living in the home, a staggering and heart-breaking figure. For comparison, it took 10 years years to create as many orphans as Covid-19 created in just two years. Seth Flaxman and Susan Hillis have been tracking this grim statistic as part of their work with Global Reference Group on Children Affected by Covid-19. These losses can reverberate for years. This week, Flaxman and Hillis discuss the trials of children who have lost parents during the pandemic, and what can be done to help keep them safe and healthy.
For nearly two decades, Flaxman has been actively involved in paranormal research and hands-on field investigation. He is President and Senior Researcher of the Arkansas Paranormal and Anomalous Studies Team (ARPAST) which has become one of the nation's most active paranormal research organizations.This presentation is from the 2013 Ozark Mountain UFO Conference.FOLLOW US ON:Facebook: https://goo.gl/rwvBfwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozarkmtpubTwitter: https://goo.gl/LunK5DWebsite: https://goo.gl/2d5cX4ASSOCIATED LINKS:Ozark Mountain Publishing, Inc.: https://goo.gl/xhgoAPQuantum Healing Hypnosis Academy: https://goo.gl/64G7RD

Unapologetically devoid of any central organising committee, but instead bound by the forcefield of Bitcoin's core principles of value, freedom and decentralisation, I am repeatedly left in wonderment watching waves of new initiatives breaking all over the world, promising new and exciting capabilities that have never existed nor even been possible before. Like SeedSigner (the nym – who we will now refer to as “SS” for the purpose of this brief article) and his creation of the SeedSigner (the project) – an open-source Bitcoin signing device developed to reduce the cost and complexity of executing multisig Bitcoin transactions. Driven by the proverbial mother of all invention, SS had been considering for some time how he could improve the security of his long-term Bitcoin holdings. Unhappy with his solution at the time – based on using Bitaddress.org to create wallets & private keys and then Shamir sharing/key sharding to add an additional layer of security – he was searching for something better. "You start to wonder – as the gains happen – about your security setup. I wanted to get my security setup right, and multi sig was getting to the point where it was starting to be accessible to people” When he became aware of the concept of multisig, I suspect he probably didn't realise what a rabbit hole he'd stumbled upon. Tuning into an episode of the Stephan Livera Podcast with Michael Flaxman, he heard Flaxman describe a means to “10x your Bitcoin security” using new multisig via tools like Specter Desktop. The legions of Specter fans out there (and those of you who peeped our previous feature with key contributor Ben Kaufman) will already be aware that their excellent open-source repo not only contains the blueprints for its multisig wallet software, but a DIY hardware wallet build too. With his natural inclinations towards techie tinkering and 3D printing sufficiently piqued, SS figured he'd take a shot at putting a unit together to try out for himself. The experience, in short, blew his mind. "The first time I signed a transaction with multisig, I can only compare it to the first time I sent a Bitcoin transaction or the first time I ever sent a lightning transaction; it was this magical lightbulb moment" SS It was the start of something. When Flaxman subsequently tweeted about how cool it would be to have a neat enclosure to tidy up the loose parts and wires of his self-assembled Specter device, SS responded in the best way he knew and knocked-up a prototype for him. With Specter's innards now neatly stuffed inside a perfectly formed 3D-printed case, Flaxman described the experience of using it as a game changer: “You go from dangling loose wires to a securely mounted professional (enough) device with NO SOLDERING”. "For me, it was kind of a game to see how low I can drive the price down to get this basic signing functionality; where people can use the device to create private keys and then set up a wallet and actually transact with the Bitcoin network" SS Buoyed by the experience, the pair started talking about using a much cheaper, stripped-down Pi ‘Zero' and small Waveshare LCD which could be used as an air-gapped device for calculating the 24th (checksum) word in a seed. SS then decided to add a camera to the unit which would allow users to scan QR codes and sign transactions, turning it into a fully-functional transaction signing device that fundamentally does the same job as the Specter HWW but with some of its more high-end bells & whistles stripped out. In doing so, the price point (and physical size) could be reduced, allowing far more people to access the unit's seed-generation, seed-import and transaction signing capabilities. And with that, the SeedSigner was born. With cheap and widely available off-the-shelf components, SeedSigner now provides a naturally inexpensive, open-source, air-gapped signing system which carries a higher degree of security assurance than some of the more high-end, network-attachable devices. But why would anyone want an inexpensive signing device that you can assemble yourself using innocuous doodads sourced from any major electronics store, I hear you ask? Well, for starters, go and speak to any Ledger customer. A hack of Ledger's customer records database sadly compromised tens of thousands of customers' private data, including names, physical addresses and emails, reportedly causing a great deal of stress and countless threats and scam attempts being made on many of them. The whole episode, and the fallout since, has served as an important reminder that privacy is a one-way street, that private data has value, and that once your info is out there it is hard (if not impossible) to claw back. Thus being able to get your hands on a secure, fully-functional Bitcoin signing device without having to disclose any personal contact information is a great thing. Secondly, when generating or entering your seed on a regular network-connectable HWW/signing device, you are placing some level of trust in the firmware developer that they have not introduced an exploitable backdoor. It might not be a worry shared by everyone, but if you are like me and have little capability to meaningfully audit code yourself, having a fully air-gapped solution like SeedSigner that has no network-attachability and which solely references visible QR codes is a welcome assurance that backdoors are unlikely. "Something we've explored is having either a setting or a default mode where, when you first turn the device on, it brings up a snake or a Pac Man-type game" SS "I personally have a bunch of multisig setups, but I'm pretty sure one SeedSigner is going to replace all my current hardware wallets. Especially for my backup cosigners – no need to keep buying those backup hardware devices" Keith Mukai Then there's the fun stuff. The fresh perspectives and problem solving skills that SS and project contributor Keith Mukai and Newtonick bring to the mix in their development of SeedSigner are leading to some really cool micro-innovations and UX approaches. A favourite of mine which they came up with recently is their introduction of a QR code transcription template & workflow. You see, with there being no retained storage capability on the device, each time users boot up the Seed Signer, they are forced to enter their seed anew. But with most seeds comprising 24 words, it can take a few minutes to enter them using the joystick and button controls as users scroll through the words on the device's small screen. So they came up with an ingenious way to firstly give users the ability to generate a QR-version of their chosen seed words on the device itself, and secondly to then walk them through the transcription of the code onto a piece of paper using a felt-tip pen (analog FTW!). What this compellingly low-tech workflow gifts to users is the ability to scan the hand-drawn (and therefore air-gapped) QR-code back into the device via the camera instead of manual entry whenever the user wants to sign a transaction. Now who wouldn't want to give that a spin?! Not me, is who! "A big turn around for the project was when Nick and Keith came in. Nick forked the original repo and then rewrote the whole code base to lay the groundwork for where we are today. Keith is hugely creative, especially on the UI side, and has brought some awesome new feature ideas to the project. They collaborate really well – there's a bit of ying & yang between them" SS When experimenting with the concept, they found that QR codes are remarkably resilient and very forgiving in how neatly the codes need to be when hand-drawn – a boon for anyone with messy handwriting. Who knew? And if you're worried about your QR code paper copy falling into the wrong hands accidentally, then the solution to that is the same as you would use to protect your seed words properly – robust, secure physical storage and employment of a passphrase. Boom. Risk mitigated. And last but not least, there's the price point. $50 for an air-gapped multisig transaction signing device that allows you to create or import your own seed, export an xpub, sign your transactions in a safe and secure manner and essentially kickstart your sat stacking journey without any 3rd parties knowing about it? As Keith Mukai explained to me, you now have the ability to use one piece of cheap hardware to sign for basically infinite keys – which is a big deal for anyone who might not want to drop hundreds of dollars for several name-brand HWWs. This opens up the option for a family or even, say, a small El Salvadoran village to be able to share one device amongst themselves. Cypherpunk af! "[At first] I just kind of tinkered with it – you're kind of scratching your own itch, and just trying to bring something that you want to see into existence" SS So if you've been flirting with the idea of trying multisig quorum set-ups for yourself but have hesitated because of cost concerns or complexity worries with more established hardware wallet vendors, I suggest you try these bad boys out. And if you're way ahead of me on this and keen to contribute some help to this awesome project, the team would love to hear from you. Now that the overall code structure has been established, they are iterating and making improvements where they see the need and also seeking contributors to create walkthroughs/tutorials on building and using SeedSigner and technical users who can help to test new features and upcoming releases.

OmniSci's Spatial Data Science Practice Lead, Dr. Michael Flaxman, joins Coruzant Technologies for the Digital Executive podcast. He shares his educational and experience journey was at the crossroads of both interests that he loved - biology and technology. Here is where he found where his skillset and passion could be applied.
In età romantica, fra ‘700 e ‘800, alcuni artisti avvertirono la fascinazione per il mondo dei sogni e dell'inconscio, con forte anticipo sulle acquisizioni della scienza. Le immagini senza precedenti di Füssli, Sergel, Flaxman, Blake, Redon, estranee a ogni ideale di bellezza classica, riflettono una realtà onirica altamente soggettiva scaturita dall'intuizione, non ancora da quella indagine sistematica che sarà all'origine della psicoanalisi del primo ‘900. Segnano comunque, in termini visionari, un allontanamento dai dati empirici, una rottura con la realtà e un affondo profetico nel versante di tenebra dell'individuo. Dove – essendosi capovolto il fuoco della visione dall'esterno verso l'interno – labile è diventato il confine con la zona d'ombra dell'irrazionale, del mistero e anche della depressione psichica.

There’s no doubt that metric reports are valuable for marketers. After all, those numbers offer insights that greatly influence decisions around where a company should be spending its money. But what happens when two completely different programs, such as an NBA game and network television drama, draw similar audience metrics? How do you differentiate the two? Or does it not really matter? After all, if both programs are drawing the same number of viewers, they have to be equivalent, right? “There's a number of variables that you would look at to evaluate whether something is meaningful, but it all depends on what the consumer target is that you're looking at. So you can put in any variables that you want to decide what they are, such as which program you would choose, but you're not just looking at spots and dots like we have in the past. You're evaluating that programming based on whether it will resonate with the audience, and whether it's in the right context for that audience.”All those spots and dots, they are important in their own right, and on this episode of Marketing Trends, Erin Flaxman, Global Chief Growth Officer for Havas Media Group, explains why. Erin discusses why it’s important to dive deeper into all the numbers on your metrics report in order to better understand your target audience. Plus, she gives some practical tips on how brands can create meaningful content based on what the metrics reveal in order to more fully connect with consumers.Main Takeaways:Brand Matters, Right?: Not according to a study done by Havas Media Group. If 80% of brands completely disappeared, most consumers would not care. What consumers do care about is if the product and company engage with them in a meaningful way.More than Just Spots and Dots: It’s important to remember that not all ratings and metrics are positive for your brand. Just because two separate events draw similar results ini audience size, those audiences are not always equal, so you have to be thinking about which audience is right for your brand. An audience for an NBA game is completely different than one for an episode of Breaking Bad. As a marketer what you need to be looking at is how your product or service fits into that audience and how you provide meaningful content to them.Not Just Another Zoom: One of the biggest challenges for companies today remains how marketers present pitches to clients. When putting together a pitch, marketers have to start thinking about new ways they can be creative and show that they have a plan to keep the audience on the other side of the screen actively engaged.---Marketing Trends podcast is brought to you by Salesforce.

Episode #7In this episode, I speak to Bristol-based Senior Educational Psychologist, Dr DuncanGillard. Duncan is an experienced Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)practitioner, trainer, supervisor and author. You can follow Duncan on Twitter@Duncanjee.In this podcast, Duncan talks about his journey into ACT and Contextual BehaviouralScience (CBS) practice as having evolved from several years of travelling in Asia,where he studied, practiced and eventually taught Yoga and Mindfulness practice.Duncan's travels and studies eventually led him to a career in EducationalPsychology, upon completion of his doctoral training at Exeter University. Duncan isthe co-author of the popular self-help book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy forDummies and has written several peer-reviewed articles and papersaround ACT and CBS. He is also the co-developer of an exciting new PSHEcurriculum based on the ACT-for-youth model, DNA-v, called the Connect PSHE(here's the website: https://www.connect-pshe.org/).During our discussion, Duncan helps me to understand the world of ACTconceptually, empirically and even experientially. Together, we work through a liveexample of the application of ACT (with me in the role of client!) to my own personalworries about my career as an EP. We discuss just some of the wide-rangingapplications of ACT and CBS within education and Duncan provides examples ofthese, through a number of projects in which he has been involved during his careerso far, including:ACT-based teacher and school staff wellbeing programs Interventions, supervision and training around the provision of targeted support, based on the DNA-v (ACT for youth) model for young people with specific issues related to psychological wellbeing.

Voter turnout is much lower in the U.S. than in many other democracies around the world. In this episode, we look at an innovative initiative to use the internet to boost the number of voters in every election. "Our mission" says the non-profit group Democracy Works "is to make voting a simple, seamless experience for all Americans, so that no one misses an election." A lot of people want to vote but they forget to do it, or they don't get registered to vote. Democracy Works is a team of software developers, policy wonks and civic organizers who say they are working to upgrade the infrastructure of democracy.In this episode, we speak with the non-profit group's CEO and co-founder. Seth Flaxman. "At the end of the day, we think every American is going to want a sort of service like a concierge helping them to vote in all the election," says Seth, "even people who say they never miss elections sign up to get the reminders."This episode is funded with a grant from Solutions Journalism Network as part of "Renewing Democracy", to encourage reporting about how people and institutions are trying to reinvigorate democracy in communities across the country.

Technology for Democracy Democracy Works remedies some of the most pervasive and mundane reasons we don’t vote. TurboVote is a tool that enables online voter registration, sends out election day reminders, and even provides absentee ballots. Those mailed-in ballots are then tracked by the Ballot Scout initiative. The Voting Information Project produces the polling place and ballot data that is then used by Google and get-out-the-vote drives. By using current technology to take the hassle of voting out of our busy lives, the initiatives of Democracy Works are building a more engaged society. Partnering for Success Democracy Works collaborates with voters, state partners, and corporations to create more successful elections. Since being founded in 2012, TurboVote has registered over 7 million new voters, with 2.5 million in 2018 alone. Moreover, 63% of them were millennials or younger. Successful voter registration came through heavy reliance on partnerships, including with over 130 universities and Snapchat. When Facebook reminds you to vote, it’s because of a TurboVote partnership. The Voting Information Project partnership with Google provides accurate polling locations and ballot information. Partnerships with 46 states help streamline the election and voting processes. TurboVote Challenge The TurboVote Challenge is the premier corporate coalition championing civic engagement in America. Its goal is to reach 80% voter turnout by 2024. In order to achieve record-breaking voter turnout, we cannot rely on the government and politicians alone. Instead, everyone must play a part and treat everyone like citizens and voters. Learning institutions need to register their students; companies need to work to motivate both employees and customers; and everyday citizens need to vote and encourage others to vote as well. Democracy is strongest when we are all participating and voting. Find out more: Seth Flaxman co-founded Democracy Works while studying at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. The Democracy Works’ tool TurboVote has been used by more than 7 million Americans to register to vote, and provides a suite of other tools to simplify voting for everyday citizens. Democracy Works also started the Voting Information Project, a widely accessible public information project designed to remove voting barriers by providing easily searchable polling place locations, ballot information, and other official election information. Thanks to a partnership with Google, the VIP is used by millions of voters around the country. Seth earned an undergraduate degree from Columbia University and was student body president there. In 2011, he was honored as one of Forbes magazine's '30 Under 30' in the field of law and policy. Seth is also a Draper Richards Kaplan entrepreneur and Ashoka Fellow.

Season 3 Episode 5 The conversation continues with a focus on how to introduce the concept of skilfully relating to the content that our minds can produce, which is also known as cognitive defusion. We also how Jaimie uses her experience of the context of the ballet world in a way that is both curious and cautious - she's keen not to make assumptions based upon her own experience. Paul reflects on the embodied nature of the new protocol, many people we train report feeling quite disconnected with sensations in their body. He also reveals how the Flaxman Manoeuvre was born. Leo, continues to reflect on the impact of the training on his life in his characteristic thoughtful and insightful way.

Season 3 Episode 4 That's quite a title and this is quite a two parter. I was lucky enough to have the chance to discuss ACT in the workplace with Dr Paul Flaxman, Jaimie Persson and Leo Hepler. We explore the delivery of training based upon Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in the workplace from three different perspectives. We have Paul Flaxman – together we redesigned an ACT in the workplace training protocol, which was then adapted by our colleague and pal – Jaimie Persson – to deliver to the students at Canada’s National Ballet School. One of the students was dancer – Leo Hepler – our star guest – who came on the show to reflect upon his experiences of receiving ACT training. In part 1 we talk about the ballet school and ballet company environment and hear how Jaimie (as a former student of the school) presented a compelling case to the Director – Mavis Staines – known for her progressive approach to education – to introduce the students to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We also hear what Leo took away from the training. Show notes and links at www.peoplesoup.co Photo @photography_byash (insta)

“It was very clear our teams would always get beaten by Clinton. Some things never change. I wonder if the chant we had is still used. It goes like: ‘Harass ‘em, harangue ‘em, make ‘em relinquish the ball.’ I guess you hadn’t heard that before.”
“It was a crazy time in the early ’60’s. I have a vivid recollection of getting yelled at for not standing straight during the pledge of allegiance, and I vowed never to go to assembly in the morning again, which I could avoid by going to Math Lab. That was really the focus of my life for a few years: not getting drafted, staying in engineering, finding a job that was related to the national defense effort, and stopping working when the draft lottery was over.”
