We met Emily Wood at BBC Radio Devon in the Summer at their live on air Menopause Cafe. Emily has been presenting the weather on local BBC TV and radio for over 15 years, and also works as a journalist for BBC Radio Devon where she gets to share stories about the amazing people and places in Devon. Emily asked if she could turn the tables and interview us and get all the questions answered that her and her friends wanted to know about menopause. We obviously said yes! We ask Emily about what it is like being a working mum in the media and she also tells us some fascinating facts about clouds (you'll want to know these!). And Emily asks us about Menopause- what exactly is it? How do we know when we are in peri menopause? HRT? And what we would say to our younger pre menopausal selves……. Oh and Chin hairs!   In the Book Collective book of the series, Twelve Moons. A Year Under A Shared Sky by Caro Giles. This week we read chapter 7 Claiming Moon, Caro is beginning to unravel, she's allowing herself to be vulnerable in this chapter, there's a camping holiday and also Caro's birthday to celebrate.   Lou finds some fun news you might have missed this week (dinosaurs on the Isle of Wight) and Jinty has found some new research that has found genetic links between endometriosis and IBS and other gastro-intestinal disorders.

Today's news headlines are littered with stories on massive cybersecurity failures: SolarWinds, Microsoft Exchange, Colonial Pipeline, data breaches, ransomware... Are the bad guys ramping up their game? Or are we just really bad at cybersecurity? (Or both?) How do we fix this? Who can lead the charge to improve our cyber defenses and fend off these attacks? Where do we learn best practices? Can new tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI) help us be more secure - or will these tools benefit the bad guys more? In today's show, I discuss the current sorry state of cybersecurity and it's foggy future with Josh Jackson from 6clicks! Josh Jackson is an avid student of law, policy, and regulations. He is a speaker on Artificial Intelligence and Automation and a teacher on the Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business.

Please support our work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/redspinsports​Part II features a series of #ApartheidIsrael​ #NFL​ whitewashing videos produced by groups ranging from Christians United for Israel to NFL Films. The insidiousness of this alliance is not only on full display, but brought into focus with the critical analysis you won't find in mainstream (political or sports) media. Redspin Sports founder Nate Wallace co-hosts Part II of this two-part special with Max Blumenthal, Editor of The Grayzone (@TheGrayzoneNews) and co-host of the Moderate Rebels (@Moderate_Rebels) podcast, & the co-host of Redspin Sports Michael Sampson, an organizer with the Jacksonville (Florida) Community Action Committee (@JaxTakesAction), working to galvanize public support around the demand for Community Control of the Police.The context for the discussion stems from our incredulity at the way in which some of the most far-right elements of the Israel Lobby have exploited the situation Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Desean Jackson created, and then found himself in the midst of a firestorm as a result, earlier this month when he re-shared anti-Semitic words in an Instagram Story from a sermon delivered by the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan.Far-right Israeli lobby & Bibi Netanyahu P.R. firm, From the Depths, has cynically deployed the MAGA Trump devotee and corrupt New Jersey real estate developer & multi-millionaire, Edward Mosberg, to play a central role in the reeducation and potential "reclamation" of the 33 year-old Jackson. The problem centers around what we've learned about Mosberg and From the Depths founder, Jonny Daniels. Jackson agreeing to be educated on anti-Semitism by From the Depths' frontman, Edward Mosberg, means he'll be learning a lot more about the importance of embracing political Zionism than he will about seriously combatting anti-Semitism. This is evidenced by Mosberg's unabashed praise for the racist politics of Trump and Netanyahu, and From the Depths' record of providing what amounts to Jewish political cover for far-right Eastern European heads of state like Hungarian President, Viktor Orban, and Polish President Andrzej Duda; both of whom benefit greatly from having their domestic anti-Semitism whitewashed by From the Depths thanks to their staunch for Israel on the international stage. In short, opposition to Israel's political Zionist ethnocracy is NOT analogous to anti-Semitism! However, as this Redspin Sports special illustrates, this fact will hardly stop Netanyahu and his From the Depths lackeys from doing all they can to portray the two as being one in the same.The discussion portion of the program was recorded on July 12th, 2020, and was published to YouTube on July 31st, 2020.

Zoom went from an obscure teleconferencing company to a household word when the pandemic hit. Zoom wasn’t the best videoconferencing app by any means. But it was dead simple to use and kinda fun to say. For better or worse, it became the de facto tool for many of us to keep in touch. Over that time, Zoom has made many important improvements. This week it has finally rolled out what appears to be true end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Today I'll tell you how to enable this new feature. In other news: Be sure to update your iPhones to iOS 14.2; also be sure to keep Google Chrome and Windows 10 up to date; Adobe Flash is finally almost gone; police in Jackson, Mississippi are trialing a program to directly tap into people's private security cameras like Ring video doorbells; the NSA and FBI have been burned by the very backdoors they added; and California's Prop 24 passes, beefing up privacy protections for its citizens (and probably for all of us).

In this week’s (quite long) episode Jen and Amy record a basic overview of what a health visitor is, targeted at parents or other healthcare professionals. Share, share, share! Let’s raise our profile! As health visitors we know we are often misunderstood and unfairly dreaded! Usually when we do arrive on your doorstep we (hopefully) debunk some of these myths and put lots of fears to rest… but wouldn’t it be nice if we could do this in advance, so you are less terrified of us from the start?! Health Visiting is a tailored, needs based-service built on relationships with families. Jen and Amy take a look at England's 4,5,6 model of health visiting and have a giggle at some of the misconceptions and myths we have come across! We love our job! It’s fantastic and we want to share it with you. Thanks for listening.

It was the ultimate twist of fate that a famous neurosurgeon who taught at Harvard, and would tell patients and students alike that the soul is merely an illusion of the mind, would be struck down with what should have been a fatal brain disease. Dr. Eben Alexander spent a week in a coma, brain-dead with cerebral meningitis, with doctors suggesting his wife pull the plug. They gave up on antibiotics and waited for him to die. But after 7 days without any signs of brain activity, he miraculously came back, and with the most incredible near-death experience to share. This is a truly life-changing interview. Here's a doctor who's entire life was built around a premise that there is no afterlife. And yet when he returns, he shares a completely different story. If you believe his story, and it's hard not to, then it completely changes, or affirms, everything we think about life, about death, and where we're going from here. It can't help but get you thinking, and quite possibly living your life a different way. This is an incredibly powerful and heartfelt interview that'll have you on the edge of your seat, and leave you feeling great to be alive!  Show Introduction: Today we have a life-changing guest on the show. I found his book to be incredible powerful, and moving. It's ironic to say moving, since you used to be one of the most analytical, left-brained people out there. His name is Dr. Eben Alexander, until 2008 he had been a renowned academic neurosurgeon for over 30 years and taught at Harvard Medical Center for over 15 years. He thought he knew how the mind, brain and consciousness worked, and that Near Death Experiences, and any other unusual experiences were merely illusions or aberrations created by the mind. If someone was resuscitated and told him about it, perhaps seeing a bright light, or visiting deceased loved one's, he'd very kindly and compassionately tell them it just wasn't possible. It wasn't science, and that they're mind made it up. Yet he'd seen a lot in the operating room and in ER. He'd seen patient appear to die and come back. He'd seen miraculous bursts of lucidity or clarity just before people's deaths, and much more that he couldn't even begin to explain. But as a hard-nosed scientist, he ignored people's stories, reports, and what he'd even seen with his own two eyes. And that made him such a perfect candidate for what would happen next. That's where we pick up the interview, talking about Near Death Experiences, the possibility of after-life, about what the human brain does and does not do…or maybe to say, why it doesn't let us see certain things, and why what he experienced means so much for us. This won't be all woo-woo, because that's not where Dr. Alexander comes from, he comes from the linear, right brain, Age of Reason, scientific, PROVE IT WITH SCIENCE and statistics world. This is a life-changing interview, if nothing else, it'll stop you in your tracks, giving you a new perspective on life, on death, and of living your greatest life here on Earth. For myself, I found Dr. Eben Alexander's book Proof of God, to be perhaps the most single important book I've ever read this lifetime. And if you know my show, you'll know I read a LOT. Topics Include: Topics and Questions: a.       What was Dr. Eben Alexander like before he “died”. b.      What happened physically when he contracted meningitis. c.       Why he shouldn't have lived from the rare, fatal disease. d.      What he experiencing while he was brain dead. e.      What was happening to him spirituality during this week and beyond. f.        Could it have been a brief hallucination, delusion, or fantasy? g.       Reading your latest book, it seems like these experiences have happened since the beginning of written work, if these are so real, why haven't they been studied, or written up, or why isn't this knowledge mainstream? h.      There's a point in your journey where you were travelling on a butterfly, and a woman was there with you who told you three key things. What were those three things? i.         How long did it feel like you were gone for? j.        In the Map of Heaven, you talk about having lost hope, or the newness for life before your experience. What were you like when you came back? k.       I (Michael Sandler) have had two near-death experiences, both of which radically changed me. Even the laugh you here now, and my Woo Hoo came out of my experiences. I'm not the same person I was, each time I died on the trails. How have you changed? l.         During my second experience, the best-way I could describe it, was I was getting downloads, like drinking from a firehouse. I was laying in a freezing creek by Lake Tahoe, forcing myself to breath, staring out up at the most brilliant sun I've ever seen, while torrents of information seemed to come to me. I'm still working to decipher them all, but this show was one of the pieces that came out of it. I was reading in your book that you were taking these fantastical visits and getting the most incredible downloads. I don't know how you put it in words, but what kind of downloads were you getting? m.     What kind of downloads did you get? n.      What's your latest insight based on the downloads or on the experience? o.      What does this experience mean for us? p.      What can you tell us about the brain and consciousness, based on what you've learned q.      Jessica always asks that I ask a question about children, child-raising, or infants. In this case, she asked if kids come into this world without the same veil, buffers, or restrictions of an adult mind, kids brains also limit them in the same way adult brains do, or is the veil more translucent at this point? r.        What are some of the key themes you learned from your journey? s.       What does it mean to be living under the aspect of eternity? t.        What does Love vs. Fear mean to you? u.      How can we live differently based on what you've experienced? v.       Writing this book could not have done wonders for your career as a neurosurgeon, so why did you write this book? And what's the most important thing you hope people get from it? w.     Why did you write The Map of Heaven, your second book?   x.       You write toward the end of your second book The Map of Heaven, a quote of Aldous Huxley, a famous writer “This world is an illusion, but it is an illusion we must take seriously. Because it is real as far as it goes…we must find a way of being in this world while not being in it.” Why did you include this, and what do you mean by it? Further Info at www.InspireNationShow.com
