Do animals fall in love at first sight?Every species has different traits that are 'attractive' — they're showing off their DIY skills making a bower, vibrating sexy fruit fly songs, puffing up a wattle, or just having really massive moose… antlers.Is this innate attraction like falling in love or is it more like meeting a (really hot) investment advisor?Because these attractive traits are also messages about genes — who will make a good investment to partner with for the next generation.Of course, one species beauty is another's turn off, and some species have a very low bar (looking at you guppies), so Hot or Not could end up being a very individual thing.Sex is Weird is a series of What the Duck?! with Dr Ann Jones following the sexual evolution of the animal kingdom.Please note that this program contains adult themes and explicit language.

"Anxiety from insomnia triggers our fight or flight reaction and that's not conducive to falling asleep." - Dr. Leon Lack There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with fibromyalgia, the kind where your body feels completely drained, but your brain just won't turn off. You lie there, waiting for sleep to come, watching the clock, knowing how much you need rest and feeling your body become more tense the longer it doesn't happen. Over time, bedtime itself can start to feel stressful, like something you're doing wrong instead of something your body naturally does. What makes this even more frustrating is that the harder you try to sleep, the more awake you can feel. Worrying about sleep, thinking about tomorrow, and calculating how many hours you have left can quietly activate your stress response. Once that cycle starts, it tends to repeat night after night. Understanding why this happens can be incredibly validating and helps explain why sleep struggles aren't a failure on your part, but a pattern your body has learned and can also unlearn. Today, Tami is joined by Dr. Leon Lack to take a deep dive into insomnia and what you can do to start retraining your sleep. Dr. Lack is a sleep researcher and professor emeritus at Flinders University in Australia, who has spent decades studying insomnia and circadian rhythms, and his research has helped shape many of the behavioural treatments used for insomnia today. In this conversation, Tami and Dr. Lack discuss what insomnia actually is, why common sleep hygiene advice often misses the mark, how insomnia becomes a vicious cycle, the different types of insomnia, the need to distinguish between fatigue, sleepiness, and tiredness, why conditioned arousal sits at the center of most insomnia cases, pros and cons of sleep medications, the difference between acute and chronic insomnia, how circadian rhythm disruptions contribute to insomnia, CBT-I and why behavioral strategies are often the starting point, sleep efficiency training and how it helps consolidate sleep, using melatonin and morning light to support circadian rhythm and sleep timing, options for accessing support, and more.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
The conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran has entered a volatile new phase, raising fresh geopolitical and legal questions about the future of the region. Following reports of strikes that resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, attention has turned to who could succeed him and what that transition might mean for regional stability. US President Donald Trump has stated that he wants to play a role in discussions surrounding Iran’s next leader, a remark that has sparked debate over whether Washington is attempting to influence the country’s political direction. How realistic is it that the US could shape Iran’s leadership succession? And how might Tehran respond as it weighs its options and defends its sovereignty?

Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.In this episode, we explore the unique dynamics of starting young versus later in life as an actor. With insights from students at Flinders University, namely return guest Connor Clark (my son) and fellow class-mates Sienna Druce and Jakub Hapugoda, the conversation reveals that regardless of age, the core fears, joys, and learning curves are remarkably similar. Understanding these parallels can empower both early starters and late bloomers to embrace their distinct journeys with confidence.This episode underscores that the secret isn't when you start, but how you approach the craft—whether with curiosity, resilience, or joy. Remember, in acting as in life, there truly is no right age—only the courage to begin. Keep blooming, wherever you are on your journey. Key topics:The importance of experimentation and safe failure early in the acting careerHow experience, perspective, and life lessons shape acting maturityThe role of discipline, resilience, and fun in training and professional workThe benefits and challenges of starting young, including unlearning habitsHow older actors sometimes overthink, while younger actors retain playfulnessPractical advice for managing expectations, building a toolbox, and continuous learningThe mindset shifts necessary to thrive at any stage of acting Support the showPlease consider supporting the show by becoming a paid subscriber (you can cancel at any time) by clicking the 'Support' button in your player and you will have the opportunity to be a part of the live recordings prior to release.And please Rate the show on IMDB.This episode was recorded on RiversideFM - click the link to join and record.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest news, research, and insights on Ozempic and its impact on weight loss, health, and lifestyle.If you are following updates on Ozempic, recent international studies are shedding a spotlight on why so many are both drawn to and dropping away from this buzzy medication. According to reports from HealthDay and Drugs.com, about half of the adults who start Ozempic for weight loss end up quitting within just one year. For context, a study out of Denmark tracked more than seventy-seven thousand new Ozempic users and found that fifty-two percent gave it up before the year's end. These findings were presented at this year's European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting in Vienna.So, why are so many discontinuing Ozempic? One major reason is cost. In Denmark, the lowest possible annual dose is over two thousand euros. In the United States, prices can jump to more than one thousand four hundred dollars monthly if uninsured. People in lower-income areas were nearly fifteen percent more likely to quit early. For many, the price tag is simply not sustainable long-term.Side effects are another factor. Drugs.com highlights that those with gastrointestinal conditions, chronic illnesses, or who are taking psychiatric medication are more likely to stop using Ozempic. The Danish study found that people with existing GI issues were nine percent more likely to quit, and those with heart disease or other chronic conditions were ten percent more likely to stop. Furthermore, common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea disproportionately drive users to discontinue.Age and gender play a role too. Younger adults were forty-eight percent more likely to stop Ozempic within the first year compared to older users. Men had a twelve percent greater likelihood than women to quit. The study authors note that women tend to see slightly better weight loss results, which might help motivate their continued use.One important medical application is for people living with diabetes. Originally, Ozempic and similar drugs were developed to help manage blood sugar. However, they've gained popularity strictly for weight loss, and over ninety percent of new prescriptions in some studies are written for those without diabetes.Another recent clinical trial, reported by TheJournal.ie, looked at bumping up the standard dose to see if results improve. By tripling the weekly dosage to seven-point-two milligrams, nearly half of trial participants lost at least twenty percent of their body weight. But remember, higher doses may also lead to more side effects and costs.For younger women who are considering Ozempic, caution is warranted. According to researchers at Flinders University, there are hidden reproductive risks for women in their childbearing years. The Medical Journal of Australia reports that most women prescribed Ozempic are not using effective contraception, even though these medications can pose risks during pregnancy and fetal development. Only twenty-one percent of women on Ozempic were using contraception in one large study of more than one-point-six million general practice records. Notably, women with polycystic ovary syndrome were twice as likely to conceive after starting Ozempic, possibly because weight loss can improve fertility. Lead researcher Associate Professor Luke Grzeskowiak states the need for proper counseling on reproductive risks for women starting these drugs.A final point from ScienceDaily is that stopping Ozempic often leads to regaining weight. Because the drug works by curbing appetite and promoting the feeling of fullness, these benefits disappear once you stop.
