In today's episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Rachel Farganis, a 40-year-old mom of two, full-time professional photographer, who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is a former D1 sprinter and high jumper. After dealing with a string of autoimmune issues and becoming a mom, fitness took a bit of a backseat. But, around 2018, a fellow photographer started their bodybuilding journey and it sparked a flame in her life. She dove in head first in 2019, and hasn't looked back since.   TOPICS COVERED -prepping for the first time during COVID -competing as a mom -finding the right coach -balancing competing and marriage -missing a Pro Card by one spot three different times -winning a national overall with a broken foot -the aftermath of going viral -mindset and the mental difficulties   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html   CONNECT WITH RACHEL:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelfarganis/   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 7:07 the aftermath of going viral 14:48 competing with a broken foot 24:10 focuses in the offseason 27:07 competing as a mom 34:40 warning label to competitors 37:02 lessons for her kids 43:33 falling in love with bodybuilding 53:28 first show experience 58:47 finding the right coach 69:04 becoming a photographer 71:44 advice for competitors    CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES   LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING & DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM   FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE

How vector-borne diseases spread– and the critters that carry themMalaria, Lyme disease, dengue, Zika… what do they all have in common? They're what we call vector-borne diseases– spread to us by tiny, bite-happy arthropods. These little troublemakers are responsible for 17% of all infectious diseases worldwide, and with climate change and urbanization on the rise, they're becoming an even bigger threat.In this episode, Dr. Kaylee Byers sits down with insect investigator Dr. Gonzalo Vazquez-Prokopec to untangle the intricate web of vector-borne disease dynamics, and explain what makes these insects such masterful disease spreaders. Then, Dr. Pooja Swali shares how ancient DNA from thousands of years ago revealed a pathogen's curious evolutionary switch from one creepy crawly to another.From mosquitoes to ticks to the not-so-affectionate kissing bug, every insect in this lineup is guilty of something– and genomics is helping us figure out what.Click here for tickets and more information about the Nice Genes!

Contact Welcomed HereBefore discussing the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and how they can be applied to all compulsive behaviors and obsessive thoughts consider this: Identifying the mental problem of addiction, like diagnosing any disease, includes the individual identifying with the problem as the one who may have the problem. If we are free to choose what and how we think - then we are each solely able to determine how and what we do with problems and suffering we create. Focal points: The steps are based on principles. Responsiblity, Choice and Freedom are all Absolute Natural States of human nature. Consideration is an awakened eyes wide open deliberation as a meditative contemplation. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Law and Order of our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible jibbersh of ignorance - not reality.

Dr. Nancy Byl, a pioneer in neuroplasticity and expert in focal dystonia, joins host J.J. Mowder-Tinney for a dynamic conversation on how OTs and PTs can rethink assessment and intervention for this underrecognized movement disorder. J.J. brings curiosity and clinical insight as they explore the sensory origins of dystonia, surprising traits shared by many patients, and why behavioral retraining may hold more promise than you think. Along the way, Dr. Byl shares case examples, brain mapping data, and creative treatment strategies grounded in decades of experience. Tune in to discover how targeted sensory retraining—and a little outside-the-box thinking—may help retrain the brain.Learning ObjectivesAnalyze the evidence around the definition, diagnosis, and prevalence of focal dystonia (FD)Apply evidence-based, practical strategies to address the treatment of FD, grounded in principles of neuroplasticity and behavioral interventions, and to support engagement in meaningful occupationsSolve patient case scenarios involving FD while integrating current research, clinical reasoning, and potential directions for future investigationTimestamps(00:00:00) Welcome(00:01:05) Introduction to guest and focal dystonia research(00:06:56) Understanding focal dystonia in context(00:11:16) The impact of focal dystonia on lives(00:16:01) Personality traits and focal dystonia(00:18:35) Neuroscience insights into dystonia(00:24:39) Behavioral retraining and dystonia(00:28:18) Patient characteristics and outcomes(00:33:49) Assessment techniques for dystonia(00:46:08) Innovative treatment approaches(00:47:17) The role of behavioral training in recovery(00:49:46) Real-life retraining success stories and insightsNeuro Navigators is brought to you by Medbridge.

HT2375 - Focal Lengths That Fit Our Vision Our photographic vision is often limited to the focal length lenses we own and carry with us. I don't remember a time I had no restrictions — until now. With me on this trip I have focal lengths from 16mm to 800mm (35mm equivalent) and three cameras. Is this too much? Or, will I find that having all these lenses opens possibilities I wouldn't ordinarily have?

All this week on Newstalk Breakfast, we are taking on a new challenge, with Irish week. To begin today,we were joined on the show this morning Patricia Nic Eoin, from All About Irish to gain some insight into where to begin when brushing up on our Cúpla Focal.

Today we look at perspectives from philosopher, Albert Borgman and historian, Daniel Daniel Immerwahr.   We see how history reveals that what was once deemed as a “threat” to flourishing is now seen as a focal practice.  Join us as we wrestle with some of our thoughts and experiences around what it means to experience connection, embodiment, creativity and attention in our modern world.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent dive deep into the subject of infrasonics by way of a “studio-quality” MP3 album that tunes baroque music to the planet's Schumann resonance and thus allows you to be calm and focused (i.e., the sonic opposite of Audio Unleashed), and they also ponder the utility of two new subwoofers bigger than our dynamic duo put together. Next up, Dennis gets a rare opportunity to critique mindless capitalism (i.e., Brent) as he heaps surprising praise on an article about politics from Stereophile, of all places. Then they opine on whether  Focal's new $69K beast truly is the ultimate speaker and the one they'd buy if they were actually able to retire someday.

Focal cartilage lesions are commonly associated with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. The long-term effect of these lesions on patient-reported outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains unclear.   In conclusion, patients with concomitant partial- or full-thickness cartilage lesions reported significantly worse outcomes in all KOOS subscales 10 years after ACLR as compared with patients without cartilage lesions.     Click here to read the article.

Ethereum just turned 10, and Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, one of the earliest and most influential lending protocols in DeFi, is more bullish on the OG layer 1 blockchain than ever.  In this wide-ranging interview, he reflects on Ethereum's resilience, explains why Aave is still laser-focused on it despite the rise of competitors like Solana, and gives us a preview of Aave V4 and its institutional play, Horizon.  If you want to understand where DeFi is going, you'll want to hear what Stani has to say.   Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Dr. Hao Nguyen presents focal therapy as a promising treatment option for carefully selected prostate cancer patients, especially those with intermediate-risk, localized disease. Unlike whole-gland treatments, focal therapy targets only the tumor while preserving healthy tissue, reducing the risk of side effects like urinary or sexual dysfunction. UCSF offers multiple approaches—high-intensity focused ultrasound, cryotherapy, and irreversible electroporation—selected based on tumor location and anatomy. Dr. Nguyen emphasizes the importance of precise imaging, MRI fusion biopsy, and genomic testing for patient selection and treatment planning. Early outcomes show encouraging results, with most patients avoiding surgery or radiation within two years and maintaining quality of life. While not yet standard first-line care, focal therapy is gaining traction through research and expert consensus. Series: "Prostate Cancer Patient Conference" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40804]

Today, we've got two very different stories in one episode. First, Steven Goldfeder, co-founder of Offchain Labs, joins Unchained to explain why Robinhood is rebuilding its product on the Arbitrum tech stack, what it says about crypto's evolution, and how this could finally bridge Web2 and Web3. Then, Calvin Hamilton breaks down the bizarre $59 million bet on whether President Zelensky wore a suit — and why vague rules, a fateful tweet, and one protocol's vote could damage Polymarket's reputation.

Lunar Lander is one of the best loves video games of all time. The game was created in 1969 as an homage to the recent Apollo 11. From there it would only spread. Just about anything that can print text has it's own version of Lunar Lander. The early history of this game is mixed up with something weird: two nearly identical programming languages. Today we will be using the history of Lunar Lander as a good excuse to look at an obscure tongue called FOCAL. This language is so close to BASIC that direct line-by-line translation is possible. But are the two connected?

I recently went on a cross country road trip and shot with only a 28mm lens and an 85mm lens in order to try and push myself to get the most interesting photos I could.

There's even a newly launched XRP treasury company backed by Saudi royal capital. But why are these vehicles suddenly the structure of choice for accessing crypto exposure? What kinds of assets are best suited for them? And are they safe or a ticking time bomb?

Coinbase revealed on Thursday that cybercriminals bribed overseas customer support contractors to steal sensitive customer data as part of a $20 million extortion scheme. While no funds or private keys were compromised, customer names, addresses, and ID documents were exposed for nearly 1% of the company's 8+ million “monthly transacting users,” according to a blog post. The story raises tough questions for the entire industry. Is KYC making users more vulnerable? Can human error ever be fully eliminated? And is crypto's real security problem… people?

What if the answer to your overwhelm isn't a new planner or app—but a walk around the block, a shared meal, or a Saturday spent gardening? In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Arthur Boers, author of Living into Focus and Shattered, to talk about the kind of practices that help us resist the pressure of a hyperconnected world and even heal from generational trauma by reconnecting to what matters most. If you've ever longed to feel more grounded, whole, or present, this conversation will give you the language—and tools—you've been missing.Memorable Quotes“Technoloy itself is not the problem. Technology is human manipulation of nature for human priorities… The question is: Do we master technology or does technology master us?”“What we ought to do is raise the thresholds against things that are not the priority… And then the other thing is lower the threshold for things that are your priorities."“Focal practice is just helping us reclaim things that we knew or did before and helping us prioritize them, helping us have a different perspective on them.”“Compassion is the way forward. It doesn't help to school people who are struggling with these things—but to listen to them with patience and kindness and compassion can, in fact, make a difference.”“Focal practices are about getting away from just acting automatically. That's how I was raised: If you act automatically, it's right. You're justified… I've had to unlearn that.”“It means a willingness to live with ambiguity and to live with pain and to live with things that aren't resolved and hold there—that's a hard learning.”Key TakeawaysFocal Practices Are More Than Habits. Focal practices aren't just routines—they're meaningful rhythms that require intentionality, foster connection, and reorient us to what matters most.Technology Calls For Discernment. Technology isn't going anywhere—but the way we engage with it should be thoughtful. The key to balance? Honest conversations in community.We Need Yellow Lights. In a culture of nonstop green lights (and plenty of red-light alarmism), we need more yellow lights—space to pause, reflect, and consider what's truly right for the moment.Brake Your Enthusiasm. Eager to dive headfirst into focal practices? That's your cue to slow down. Start small, stay consistent, and let the benefits build over time.An Unexpected Path to Healing. Focal practices don't just bring focus—they can bring healing. By creating spaces of safety, embodiment, and rhythm, they can support recovery from trauma and help us move toward greater wholeness.ResourcesLiving into Focus by Arthur BoersShattered: A Memoir by Arthur BoersThe Way is Made by Walking by Arthur BoersArthurBoers.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/ypJvOm0z8IUThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
