A team of astronomers recently reported the possible discovery of a compound in the atmosphere of another planet that could be produced by life. If the compound really is there, then the planet might smell familiar—like a day at the beach.Many factors go into creating the “smellscape” of the sea. Locally, things like pollution, red tides, and decaying seaweed can make the beach smell less than pleasant. Globally, though, the two major odors come from evaporated sea spray, and from a compound of sulfur and carbon known as DMS—dimethylsulfide—the compound that might have been seen on the other planet.Microscopic organisms in the water produce a related chemical compound. When they die, they release it into the water. Bacteria and enzymes convert it to DMS. A lot of it then enters the atmosphere—about one ton per second.In the air, it's destroyed within 48 hours, releasing particles of sulfur. Water vapor gloms onto the sulfur, creating clouds. The clouds reflect sunlight, helping control global temperatures. In fact, some scientists have looked at DMS as a way to combat global warming. They suggest pumping nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean up to the surface. That would feed outbursts of the organisms that start the DMS chain—creating more planet-cooling clouds.In any event, perhaps astronomers on some distant world might find life on Earth by detecting DMS in our atmosphere—the living “breath of the sea.”

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Accessibility to modern diabetes technology directly correlates with A1c among children with type 1 diabetes globally. Big, cross-sectional study, conducted in 81 pediatric diabetes centers in 56 countries, found that a greater extent of reimbursement for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, glucose meters, and insulin was associated with lower A1c levels. Partha S. Kar, MD, Type 1 Diabetes & Technology lead of the National Health Service England, told Medscape Medical News, “As is now being shown in countries such as UK with widespread uptake of technology, there is now population-wide shift in A1c not seen before.”   He added, “If policymakers are serious about bringing A1c at a population level to sub-7.5% - 8% levels, then without technology it would be incredibly difficult to achieve, in my experience and opinion. Leaving the median A1c of a population at above 7.5%-8% goes with complications so that's a decision regarding investment many will have to make in the near future.”   In an accompanying editorial, Elizabeth R. Seaquist, MD, professor of diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism and co-director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, called it “striking” that access to technology in and of itself was associated with improved glycemic control, given that multidisciplinary team care is also needed to provide education and behavioral or psychological support.     https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-access-linked-a1c-kids-t1d-globally-2025a1000nn6 XX A man with type 1 in Illinois has received the first FDA-approved islet-cell replacement treatment, Lantidra, and  he is now producing his own insulin. The treatment works by restoring the body's beta cells, potentially eliminating the need for insulin injections.   The FDA approved Lantidra (donislecel) in 2023. Lantidra uses donor cells and requires lifelong immunosuppressive drugs.     Lantidra is only available at University of Illinois Chicago Health. Other universities, such as the University of Pennsylvania, continue to do islet cell transplants as part of clinical trials. Early data has shown that a majority of participants in the Lantidra clinical study were able to achieve some level of insulin independence, but it's unclear whether the benefits of donislecel outweigh the treatment's safety risks. Nearly 87 percent of participants reported infection-related adverse events, and post-operation complications included liver lacerations, bruising of the liver (hepatic hematoma), and anemia. One patient died of multi-organ failure from sepsis, which Lantidra maker CellTrans stated was “probably related” to the use of either immunosuppression or study drugs.   In addition, some industry leaders have raised the question of whether it's ethical to commercialize the use of deceased donor islet cells. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/first-fda-approved-islet-cell-transplant-performed?utm_campaign=feed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=later   XX Patients in the U.S. now have access to the first generic GLP-1 treatment approved for weight loss as Teva has launched its copycat of Novo Nordisk's injected Saxenda (liraglutide).   The compound, which is a GLP-1 forerunner of Novo's semaglutide products Ozempic and Wegovy, has been approved by the FDA to treat adults with obesity and those who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems.     Saxenda also is endorsed for pediatric patients ages 12 through 17 who are obese and weigh at least 60 kg (132 pounds). The treatment is for both triggering and maintaining weight loss. Saxenda is not the first GLP-1 drug that is available as a generic. In June of last year, Teva also was the first company to launch a knockoff version of Novo's Victoza, which is the same compound as Saxenda but has been approved only for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Sales of the branded versions of both Victoza and Saxenda have declined significantly in recent years as demand for Novo's semaglutide and Eli Lilly's tirzepatide products have skyrocketed. In addition, marketers of compounded products have been aggressively competing for market share in the GLP-1 space. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/saxenda-knockoff-teva-launches-first-generic-glp-1-obesity   XX Metformin could cut the risk of Long COVID by 64% in overweight or obese adults who started the drug within 90 days of infection. The large observational study, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, analysed health records of over 624,000 UK adults with COVID-19 between March 2020 and July 2023. Among these, nearly 3,000 patients who began metformin treatment soon after diagnosis were tracked for a year. Compared to non-users, their likelihood of developing Long COVID, defined as persistent symptoms 90 days or more after infection, was dramatically lower. https://www.ndtv.com/health/metformin-cuts-risk-of-long-covid-by-64-why-the-diabetes-pill-is-not-for-everyone-9242332 XX Forty-four percent of people age 15 and older living with diabetes are undiagnosed, so they don't know they have it, according to data analysis published Monday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The study looked at data from 204 countries and territories from 2000 to 2023 in a systematic review of published literature and surveys. “The majority of people with diabetes that we report on in the study have type 2 diabetes,” said Lauryn Stafford , the lead author of the study.   “We found that 56% of people with diabetes are aware that they have the condition,” said Stafford, a researcher for the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. “Globally, there's a lot of variation geographically, and also by age. So, generally, higher-income countries were doing better at diagnosing people than low- and middle-income countries.” People under 35 years were much less likely to be diagnosed if they had diabetes than people in middle age or older. Just “20% of young adults with diabetes were aware of their condition,” Stafford said. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/08/health/diabetes-undiagnosed-half-of-americans-wellness XX A team of Hong Kong scientists is developing an injectable treatment that could potentially improve blood flow in diabetes patients' feet, in the hopes that it will reduce the need for amputation by rebuilding tissue in the arteries.   They also hope to apply the treatment to peripheral artery disease or PAD, a condition caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in arteries that affect blood circulation in the feet. “Traditional treatments for people suffering from poor blood flow in their legs are stent implantation or bypass surgery, which is invasive,” said Wong, who is also the co-founder of a biotechnology company called NutrigeneAI. He said it was his dream to turn research in the academic field into actual clinical treatments. But he added that the team still needed three to four years for further research on the treatment.   https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3324671/hong-kong-scientists-developing-new-blood-flow-treatment-aid-diabetes-patients XX   Tandem Diabetes announces Health Canada authorization for distribution of the Tandem t:slim mobile application for Android and iPhone users. The Tandem t:slim mobile app allows users to deliver a bolus from their compatible smartphone, and to wirelessly upload their pump data to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform.1 The app is expected to be available later this year.   The Tandem t:slim mobile app will be available for compatible smartphones in the Apple App Store and Google Play store later in 2025. Once available, Tandem will email eligible customers with instructions on how to download and use the app.  https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250904665715/en/Tandem-tslim-Mobile-App-Now-Authorized-by-Health-Canada-for-iPhone-and-Android-Phones   XX Some changes to how the Eversense CGM will be rolled out.. right now it's being distributed by Ascensia Diabetes Care.  Senseonics will take back commercial control of the year long implantable CGM on January 1 in the US and expanding worldwide throughout 2026. The change was a mutual decision, according to the two companies, which said they have signed a memorandum of understanding before a definitive agreement is hammered out by the end of the year. To get started, Senseonics is also set to acquire members of Ascensia's commercial staff—including its CGM president, Brian Hansen, who is slated to become Senseonics' new chief commercial officer. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/senseonics-retake-eversense-cgm-commercial-control-ascensia-diabetes-care XX Utrecht-based medical device company ViCentra has closed an $85 million Series D round of funding led by Innovation Industries, along with existing investors Partners in Equity and Invest-NL. The round also drew support from EQT Life Sciences and Health Innovations.   The recent capital injection will be used to expand ViCentra's manufacturing capabilities, support regulatory approvals, and strengthen commercial rollout across Europe.   The funds will also be used to launch the next-generation Kaleido 2 patch pump in Europe and prepare for entry into the U.S. market.   The global insulin delivery market is growing quickly due to the increasing number of diabetes cases and demand for effective and user-friendly solutions. The market for insulin pumps is projected to exceed $14 billion by 2034. Patch pumps are the fastest-growing segment, signalling a trend toward compact and wearable devices. And here's where ViCentra is positioned to meet this need, offering a user-friendly, sleek design-led alternative to traditional systems.   Kaleido: design-led insulin delivery Kaleido is the smallest and lightest insulin patch pump developed as a lifestyle product with a particular focus on usability and personalisation.   Designed to feel more like personal technology than a traditional medical device, Kaleido features premium materials, and users can select their own favourite aluminium shells from a range of ten preset colour options.   It integrates with Diabeloop's hybrid closed-loop algorithms (DBLG1 and DBLG2) and is compatible with Dexcom CGM sensors, positioning it within the next generation of automated insulin delivery systems.   “Kaleido is a true disruptor — small, discreet, featherlight, and beautifully designed. It empowers people with diabetes by offering a more personal and distinctive choice in both function and style. Built with empathy and precision, it honours those who live with diabetes every day. With this funding, we can now meet surging European demand and fast-track our entry into the U.S. market. This is a pivotal moment — for ViCentra, and for the community we serve,” said Tom Arnold, Chief Executive Officer at ViCentra.   Improving the quality of life for diabetic patients ViCentra, led by Tom Arnold, is on a mission to improve the lives of those with diabetes.   The company reported that demand for Kaleido in Germany, France, and the Netherlands has already exceeded initial expectations.   ViCentra will present updates on Kaleido at the 61st Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), taking place September 15–19, 2025, in Vienna.   The company plans to engage with clinicians, investors, and strategic partners to further its role in the evolving diabetes care landscape.   “ViCentra is redefining insulin pump therapy with a platform that truly centres the user experience – combining clinical performance with design simplicity and wearability,” commented Caaj Greebe, Partner at Innovation Industries. “At Innovation Industries, we invest in pioneering companies that blend world-class technology with clear commercial potential. ViCentra exemplifies this by delivering a next-generation system addressing the urgent need for better treatment options in diabetes care. We're proud to lead this investment round and partner with Tom and the team as they deepen and expand their presence in Europe and prepare for U.S. entry.”   https://techfundingnews.com/dutch-vicentra-secures-85m-to-bring-insulin-patch-pump-to-more-markets/ XX Luna Diabetes announces they've raised more than 23-million dollars in early venture capital to help continue clinical trials and build out its capacity. This is the company that wants to offer a night time only, tiny, temporary insulin pump – to supplement insulin pen use. According to the company, more than 80% of the improvements in blood sugar from automated insulin delivery systems occur while the user is sleeping. Luna launched a pivotal trial late last year. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/nighttime-insulin-patch-pump-maker-luna-diabetes-raises-236m   XX Following 15 days and 150 fingerpricks, they're here. The results of the “9 sensor samba“. And what a set of a results…   Well maybe that's overplaying it a little.   Let's just say that the outcome of this n=1 experiment wasn't quite what I expected. One of the established players came out much worse than expected, while a newcomer did a lot better.   Let's dig in, and take a look at the variation. https://www.diabettech.com/cgm/the-nine-sensor-samba-results-revealed/   XX Hard work and perseverance define ranch life, but one man in eastern Montana takes it to another level. At 90, he's still living independently on the ranch he built from the ground up. Even more remarkable? He's a type 1 diabetic.   Bob Delp still begins each day just like he did decades ago, waking up on his ranch near Richey, Montana.   “I always thought if I could ever get a ranch and run a hundred cows, that's what I wanted to do from the time I was a kid,” said Delp.   He made that dream real, the hard way; after coming home from the army, he taught school, hayed for seven cents a bale and saved every cent he could.     “I worked at it real hard because I always felt like it was going to be part of getting me to that ranch that I always wanted,” said Delp.   He did it all while managing type 1 diabetes, a diagnosis that came with few answers and little hope back in the 1950s.   “The doctors tell me being a type 1 diabetic for 66 years isn't supposed to happen. Back then, it was a real challenge,” added Delp.   Statistically, it's almost unheard of. Fewer than 90 people in the world have lived more than 70 years with type 1 diabetes.     Bob credits his late wife, Donna, for helping him beat the odds.   “She has been key in that I always ate on time.”   They've faced their share of storms, both in health and out on the land. Not long after moving to Richey, a heavy snowstorm nearly tore everything apart just after they'd stepped out for dinner.   “If Donna hadn't said it was time to eat, we wouldn't have made it out of there. I guess that's one time that made me happy to have diabetes. And I think that saved us,” said Delp.     Now, he still checks his blood sugar daily but trusts his hands more than high-tech insulin pumps.   “I'm not satisfied with the sensors they have today. I just don't think they're accurate.”   To many, Bob's survival is extraordinary. To him, it's luck.   “The genes are there already, I can't change that so I guess I would have to say just lots of good luck,” said Delp.     And through it all, optimism has been his compass.   “You might fumble the ball, but if you're determined to be a winner, you'll recover that fumble someday,” said Delp.   He still welds nearly every day. Not because he has to, but because it keeps him going.   “As long as I keep doing something like this, I will not be in the nursing home,” said Delp.   https://www.kfyrtv.com/2025/08/09/against-all-odds-montana-man-thrives-with-type-1-diabetes-90/ XX Today, Dexcom is building on this belief and breaking new ground with the launch of its first open call across the U.S. and Canada in search of the next diabetes advocates—giving people with all types of diabetes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise awareness and share their voice on a global scale in the company's World Diabetes Day campaign (Nov. 14) and beyond.  Who is eligible?: Anyone age 2+ living with all types of diabetes or prediabetes can be nominated by themselves or by someone who knows them.

The 61st annual EASD meeting will take place on September 15-19, 2025, in Vienna, Austria.   

In New Zealand, bowel cancer is responsible for the second highest number of cancer deaths, and one in ten people diagnosed are under the age of 50. Globally, what was once seen as a disease of old age is now affecting an increasing proportion of the younger population. Research shows that our gut health has a lot to do with prevention and managing risk. Associate Professor of Surgery at Imperial College London, James Kinross, is a colorectal surgeon, scientist and best-selling author. His book Dark Matter explains in practical terms what you can do to look after your microbiome - the ecosystem of micro-organisms living inside you - and the key to a healthy immune system. Dr Kinross will be in New Zealand next month as a guest speaker at the 2025 New Zealand Society for Oncology Conference in Dunedin. He speaks to Mihingarangi Forbes ahead of his trip about our 'internal climate crisis', the use of faecal transplants and why exposure to microbes is necessary for our survival.

Europe is recalibrating its strategy in the global shift to electric vehicles (EVs), with China streaking ahead while the US is facing significant headwinds, according to the latest EY Mobility Lens Forecaster. This AI-powered model projects light-duty vehicle sales through 2050 across the three largest markets globally, Europe, China and the US. Across these three markets, battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales are expected to exceed 50% by 2034, marking a pivotal moment. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are forecast to maintain a c.30% share through 2036, underscoring their role as a key bridge to full electrification. However, the pace of the change across the three markets varies significantly, with China expected to achieve a 50% share of new energy vehicles (NEV) sold in 2025. Europe's EV sales are forecast to surpass petrol and diesel by 2028, before crossing 50% by 2032 under tightening emissions rules. In contrast, the US is now projected to reach 50% EV adoption by 2039 (a five-year delay from previous projections) amid policy delays, high costs, and charging gaps. Ireland's EV market continues to evolve with hybrid vehicles playing an increasingly important role in bridging the gap for many consumers while infrastructure expands to support wider EV adoption. The latest Central Statistics Office (CSO) data shows a strong rebound in EV uptake in 2025, with new electric vehicle registrations rising by 64% in July of this year compared to the same month in 2024, and a 27% increase in the first half of the year. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles also saw a 110% year-on-year increase in June, highlighting their role in maintaining momentum. According to the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI), this upward trend continued into August, with battery electric vehicle registrations accelerating by nearly 70% year-on-year, reinforcing the strength of Ireland's EV recovery. This recovery follows a temporary slowdown in 2024. However, targeted government support, including tiered grants, toll discounts and fleet electrification schemes, is helping to address some well-documented challenges. Ireland's EV transition strategy has been supported by Government grant schemes, which have sought to accelerate the availability of EV Charging Infrastructure - grant schemes administered by Transport Infrastructure Ireland are supporting the rollout of 131 high-powered chargers across 17 roadside locations and 175 fast and ultra-fast chargers across 53 hubs by the end of 2025. Julia Ann Corkery, EY Ireland Partner and Transport Leader, says: "Globally, the EV transition is advancing, but unevenly. China benefits from stable policy and a robust EV ecosystem. Europe is on a steady path under strict emissions targets; however, the pace of adoption will be slower than was previously anticipated, with hybrid technologies playing an increasingly important role in bridging the gap to full electrification in the short to medium term. The US, meanwhile, faces policy uncertainty, high costs and infrastructure gaps. Electric vehicles are central to Ireland's transport decarbonisation strategy, and it's encouraging to see strong momentum reflected in the CSO and SIMI data from 2025, as well as the broader trends across Europe. The rise in EV registrations, alongside shifting consumer preferences and the rollout of additional charging infrastructure, signals a dynamic market which is beginning to mature. As battery electric vehicle adoption accelerates towards 2032, Ireland is well-positioned to benefit, particularly as infrastructure and affordability measures continue to evolve to support wider uptake. In the interim period, hybrid vehicles will be expected to play a central role in bridging the gap on the transition to zero-emission vehicles." Europe: Rebounding after 2027 The EY Forecaster suggests that in Europe, economic pressures, reduced incentives, and softer emissions penalties will dampen BEV growth through 2027. But stricter CO2 l...

I hope you don't mind me sharing my continuing journey in raising awareness and money for dementia research. I'm releasing an album of my music (and it's not disco!) on 10th October 2025. Here I talk about my fears of writing a song about dementia and getting it wrong. I did care for two close relatives with dementia, but I will never know what it was like from their point of view.The first track from the album is out now. It's called Maybe I'm Gay. It's available to stream and download everywhere. Here's the link to Apple Music.All proceeds from the album, called The Gift, are in aid of the charity, Alzheimer's Research UK. It is estimated that 982,000 people are living with dementia in the UK today, rising to 1.4 million by 2040. In 2022 it was the leading cause of death in the UK. Globally the World Health Organisation estimates that 57 million people have dementia. New cases are occurring at the rate of nearly 10 million each year, which breaks down to about one new case every 3.2 seconds. In the UK, the estimated economic impact of dementia in 2024 was £42.5 billion, a figure that is expected to more than double by 2040.

Want the latest news, analysis, and price indices from power markets around the globe - delivered to your inbox, every week?Sign up for the Weekly Dispatch - Modo Energy's unmissable newsletter.Electricity grids worldwide need both the flexibility to adapt to renewable energy sources, and the resilience to cope with grid-stress events. Demand curtailment and other forms of demand-side response (DSR) play an increasingly fundamental role in supporting both these requirements, yet direct participation in these programmes can be complex, and is typically geared towards high-demand customers with single, centralised sites.However smaller, decentralised organisations can still unlock the benefits of DSR and provide a crucial grid service by working with an aggregator. By bringing multiple demand customers and sites together in a virtual power plant (VPP), aggregators help businesses of all sizes become major contributors to grid stability, without the challenges of managing individual enrolment themselves.In this episode, Michael Lynch, manager of Enel X's global Network Operations Centre (NOC) in Dublin, joins Ed Porter to discuss the growing role of VPPs in helping stabilise global electricity grids. In conversation they discuss:The nature of VPPs, and the type of generation, storage and load-curtailment resources they aggregate. How VPPs respond to the requirements of grid and asset operators. The use of flexibility and automation in managing VPP performance. The need for resilience in the NOC to ensure a reliable and rapid response in volatile conditions – from shutdowns and outages, to extreme weather and earthquakes. The human dimension and skills set required to balance around 10 GW of flexibility services worldwide.The future of VPPs as they adopt more battery storage assets in EVs, homes and businesses.About our guestMichael joined Enel X Global Retail in 2020 from an airline operations control centre, where hegained hands-on experience planning, scheduling and managing disruptions in a fast-paced,high-pressure environment.Enel X Global Retail is Enel Group's business line dedicated to customers around the world with the aim of effectively providing products and services based on their energy needs and encouraging them towards a more conscious and sustainable use of energy.

Wall Street is selling beer, beaches, and barbecue. Want to invest? We also dove into the concerns about the reliability of government data. Investors should focus less on headline data and more on long-term directional trends, since recessions matter less to portfolios than actual corporate performance. We also talk labor markets, employment revisions, and rate-cut predictions, highlighting inconsistencies and the limited value of forecasts. Debt structures like extended auto loans and creative mortgages stress the importance of cash flow flexibility and smart loan structuring rather than simply chasing the lowest rate. Kirk also shares his experience getting an offer accepted on a home during a time of market peaks. We discuss...  Corporate earnings compared to government data; how companies manage expectations to appear consistently successful. Investors should focus on long-term directional trends rather than short-term or inaccurate data points. Whether recessions truly matter for investors compared to corporate earnings growth. Labor market data showed employment revisions and a slowdown in job gains, raising concerns about real job strength. Predictions of interest rate cuts are inconsistent and unreliable. Consumer behavior trends, including retail and food service spending, suggested tightening conditions. Rising delinquency rates in student loans and credit cards signaled growing consumer financial strain. Mortgages and auto loans showed fewer delinquencies since they are collateralized and prioritized by borrowers. There is importance in structuring debt with maximum flexibility and focusing on cash flow management. A home should be viewed as a personal expense rather than an investment. Housing markets are peaking in many areas, with Massachusetts showing declining rents and prices. Mortgage strategies discussed include recasting loans and making lump-sum payments to reduce monthly payments or shorten maturity. Using a home equity line of credit strategically can accelerate mortgage payoff and improve cash flow. Globally, fertility rates in developed countries are below replacement level, indicating shrinking populations. Growth in population is concentrated in parts of Africa, South America, and select Asian regions. Macro trends impacting markets include protectionism, geopolitical tensions, and reserve currency diversification. Policy rewrites under Trump are shaking up traditional approaches, sometimes positively by encouraging change. Many U.S. housing markets are seeing declining sales as buyers and sellers are unwilling to compromise. Tariffs, especially on metals, could spike short-term costs across industries but are expected to normalize over the long term. Unexpected macroeconomic events, such as new technologies or policy changes, can disrupt markets before adjustments occur.

As government borrowing costs and debts rise around the world, we take a closer look at Japan, the UK and the US, and ask why? Hannah Mullane speaks to New Zealand's minister of immigration Erica Stanford as the Antipodean country plans to open up their housing market to foreign investors as part of a golden visa programme. Elsewhere we discuss how TSMC, the biggest semi-conductor producer making chips for electronic products, has become the latest company to face restrictions from the US government as it looks to limit China's access to American technology. And amid its tariff war with the US, we find out why some grocers in Canada have been ticked off for falsely labelling goods as Canadian.

September's Locked On Disco will be here shortly. You may have seen that for the past few months I've been putting the finishing touches to my debut album The Gift which is coming out in October. And the first track Maybe I'm gay is now available everywhere.Maybe I'm gay is on Apple Music.And you can stream on Spotify. The Gift journeys through protest, grief, joy, and self-acceptance. From the bold defiance of Maybe I'm Gay, to the intimate title track The Gift, the playful EDM-lite Not Just Friends, and the revelatory Hello God :-), the album explores what it means to live openly, vulnerably, and authentically. It's not a disco album.  But there's plenty of tunes to move to. And I hope to be moved by.Created in collaboration with AI tools, The Gift is both an act of self-discovery and a creative experiment — a reminder that music can be a mirror, reflecting who we are and what we hope to become.In this latest short podcast interlude I share my journey to creating Maybe I'm gay including all previously unreleased versions and demos.  Hopefully it will be an interesting insight into the inner workings of the latest AI music technology.More importantly, all proceeds from the album will go to Alzheimer's Research UK.  Dementia is the UK's leading cause of death, with 982,000 people currently affected — a number expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. Globally, the World Health Organisation estimates 57 million people live with dementia, with nearly 10 million new cases every year.Every play, every download, every share of 'Maybe I'm gay' brings us closer to a cure for dementia. Please join in.Thank you.  XX F

Bitcoin sits near $110K as all eyes turn to Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole decision and whether the Fed will signal rate cuts or stick with “higher-for-longer.” Washington heats up with Senator Lummis pushing a crypto market structure bill, the DOJ easing enforcement on developers, and banks lobbying to reshape the GENIUS Act.

Inspired by a popular trend on social media, this episode provides a crucial, in-depth discussion on a topic that is often difficult to address.Gordon shares powerful audio clips from real-life situations to highlight the reality of verbal and emotional abuse, as well as the threatening behavior that can escalate to physical violence. He emphasizes that this kind of abuse is never justified, no matter the circumstances.The episode also delves into staggering statistics, revealing the true scale of IPV in the United States and globally. Key data points include:An average of 24 people per minute are victims of intimate partner violence in the US, which translates to over 12 million women and men annually.Over one in three women and one in four men in the US have experienced physical violence, rape, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.Globally, around 140 women or girls are killed every day by a family member or intimate partner.Less than 40% of women who experience violence seek help of any kind.Gordon also provides a Christian perspective, explaining that while the Bible does not use the term "domestic violence," it strongly condemns the actions associated with it and advocates for peace, love, and protection within the family.00:00 Introduction and Trigger Warning01:35 Disturbing Clips of Domestic Violence03:40 Analyzing the Abusive Behavior06:53 Impact of Alcohol and Drugs09:40 Emotional Control and Responsibility10:55 Kidnapping and Control11:16 Confrontation and Plea for Release11:47 Analyzing Abusive Behavior14:12 Statistics on Domestic Violence15:18 Personal Testimony and Broader Impact19:44 Biblical Perspective on Abuse24:55 Creating a Safety Plan26:32 Resources and Legal Considerations29:15 Final Thoughts and EncouragementContact No Pillz: Tweet us @nopillzpodcast Email: nopillzpodcast@gmail.com YouTube: @nopillzpodcast Insta: @nopillzpodcast Thanks for listening & keep podcasting!

A deeply personal album of protest, love and self-acceptance — created with AI, powered by vulnerability, and released in support of dementia research.London, UK – August 2025 — After decades behind the decks, DJ-turned-artist F Monday steps into the spotlight with his debut album The Gift, out 10th October 2025. Blending protest pop, soul, and singer-songwriter sensibilities with hints of Latin and bossa nova, the record is both deeply personal and boldly experimental.The lead single, Maybe I'm Gay, will be released on 29th August 2025 across all streaming and download platforms.“It captures my experience as a cis gay man — feeling different, othered, and at times excluded, even within the LGBTQIA+ community. Over time, I found self-acceptance by recognising that many of those feelings are universal — and that being queer is universal too,” says F Monday.The Gift journeys through protest, grief, joy, and self-acceptance. From the bold defiance of Maybe I'm Gay, to the intimate title track The Gift, the playful EDM-lite Not Just Friends, and the revelatory Hello God :-), the album explores what it means to live openly, vulnerably, and authentically.Created in collaboration with AI tools, The Gift is both an act of self-discovery and a creative experiment — a reminder that music can be a mirror, reflecting who we are and what we hope to become.Importantly, all proceeds from the album will go to Alzheimer's Research UK.  Dementia is the UK's leading cause of death, with 982,000 people currently affected — a number expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. Globally, the World Health Organisation estimates 57 million people live with dementia, with nearly 10 million new cases every year.Spotify users can pre-save Maybe I'm Gay now by clicking here.The Gift — released 10th October 2025. Every play, every download, every share helps bring us closer to a cure for dementia. Please join in.

In 2013, 9-year-old Ella Roberta died from a severe asthma attack. She became the first person in the United Kingdom (and possibly the world) to have “air pollution” listed as the cause of death on her death certificate. Her mother, Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, founded the Ella Roberta Foundation and has become a global voice for clean air. Globally, the World Health Organization says that air pollution is associated with 6 to 7 million premature deaths every year. Addressing the cause of these deaths would also go a long way to addressing climate disruption. And since talking about climate has become so politically fraught, should we reframe the conversation to focus on taking care of our air? Guests: Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, Founder, Ella Roberta Foundation Sheila Watson, Deputy Director, FIA Foundation Susan Joy Hassol, Director, Climate Communication  Highlights: (00:00) Intro (03:00) Rosamund shares details of Ella's young life and her early asthma attacks (08:00) Ella becomes first person to have “air pollution” listed as cause of death (13:00) Rosamund's work sharing Ella's story and raising awareness about air pollution (20:30) How poisonous transportation emissions are and policy tools to reduce them (26:00) Economic development does not need to sit contrary to healthy air  (27:00) Dieselgate and the work of the True Real Urban Emissions initiative  (31:00) Extreme heat can make air pollution more deadly (37:00) Why we shouldn't use the term "climate change”  (43:00) Finding ways to connect with people on climate based on their priorities (49:00) How to convey the seriousness of climate threats while also empowering people to feel that they can make a difference (52:30) Climate One More Thing For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts Support Climate One by going ad-free!
