Rekordot érő 5. helyre futott be a férfi kézilabda-válogatott, amely több egyéni csúcsát is megdöntötte a kontinenstornákat illetően. Cserébe márciusban egy nagyon kemény olimpiai selejtezőcsoportban kellene elérnie a párizsi kvótát. Chema Rodriguez csapatán kívül szó lesz még a vitatott végjátékról is, ami Franciaország 4. győzelmét hozta, valamint az All Star csapat körüli, már-már szokásos hercehurcáról is.

Elkezdődött a 2023-24-es kézilabda-szezon. A nőknél három magyar csapat indulhat a Bajnokok Ligájában, míg a férfiaknál bajnoki rangadókkal lesz tele a hét. Műsorvezető: Radakovic Mijat

2023/27. Szokás szerint minden borult Kölnben, ahol a Final4-ban újoncnak számító Magdeburg két kiélezett csatával megszerezte a BL-trófeát 2023-ban. Ezzel gyakorlatilag le is zárul a kézilabda-szezon, hiszen műsorunk nyári szabadságra megy és legközelebb az idény indulásakor fogunk jelentkezni a heti adásokkal. Műsorvezető: Radakovic Mijat

2023/26. Véget értek a bajnokságok, már csak a férfi Bajnokok Ligájában várunk a győztesre, amelynek kilétét vasárnap estére már tudni fogjuk. Műsorvezető: Radakovic Mijat

2023/25. Final4 Budapesten, de ezen kívül történt még sok minden más is a kézilabdázás világában, főleg, hogy az összes bajnokság a végéhez közeledik, közülük is a legizgalmasabb a Veszprém-Szeged bajnoki döntő. Műsorvezető: Radakovic Mijat

OHS/26. Lezajlott az idei Final 4 a női kézilabda Bajnokok Ligájában, amelyet idén is a népligeti MVM Dome-ban rendeztek meg, idén ráadásul két magyar csapattal, ami garantálta az őrült hangulatot. Mind a Győr, mind pedig az újonc FTC dobogóra állhatott, a pódium legfelső fokát azonban zsinórban harmadszor is a norvég Vipers sajátította ki, miután a döntőben (a papírformának megfelelően) legyőzte a Ferencvárost. Csapatunkból öten is jelen voltak a helyszínen, négyen önkéntesként vettük ki részünket az esemény lebonyolításából, így aztán bőven volt miről mesélnünk.

2023/23. Idén sajnos magyar csapat nélkül rendezik meg Kölnben a férfi Bajnokok Ligája négyes döntőjét. A Telekom Veszprém ugyanis elveszítette a Kielce elleni párharc visszavágóját. A női K&H Ligában pedig címvédés történt. Műsorvezető: Radakovic Mijat

2023/22. Lejátszották a férfi kézi-BL negyeddöntők odavágóit, ahol valami olyasmi fordult elő, ami 24 éve nem. Hogy mi az, kiderül a műsorból. Műsorvezető: Radakovic Mijat

2023/21. Megcsinálta a lehetetlent a Ferencváros női kézicsapata és 6 gólos hátrányát ledolgozva kiharcolta a részvételt a BL négyes döntőjében, amit június 3-4-én Budapesten rendeznek az MVM Dome-ban. A legnagyobb magyarországi multifunkcionális komplexumban ráadásul két két magyar csapatnak is lehet drukkolni, hiszen a Fradi mellett "a hagyományokhoz híven" a Győr is kiharcolta az elődöntőbe jutást, ami nálunk megért egy extra adást, így Mijathoz Boldi és Zalán (akinek a hangja egy félresikerült technikai beállítás miatt ilyen halk) is csatlakozott.

Január 11-én kezdődik az olimpiai kvalifikációs férfi kézilabda-világbajnokság, amit Svédország és Lengyelország közösen rendez meg. A torna legfontosabb kérdései: - Svédország behúzhatja az Eb után a vb-t is? - Meg lehet állítani Dániát? - Biztos jó ez a 32 csapatos lebonyolítás? - Lehet-e ez a világbajnokság egy mentőöv a lengyel kézilabdának? - Valamint a mi szempontunkból a leglényegesebb kérdés: hol végezhet a magyar válogatott és van-e esély a negyeddöntőre, ami gyakorlatilag az olimpiai kvalifikációs tornára való kijutást jelentené?

This week's episode is in response to a question from one of our email subscribers, "If I am on a podcast or doing a virtual presentation - how do I get people to identify themselves as leads? In other words - how do I leverage that event for lead generation?" It's such a great question because it gets right to the heart of our marketing system - our message, our point of view and our offer. So we'll go deep into those 3 categories, pull some examples from folks like Tim Ferris, and hopefully you'll come away with some aha moments and tangible things to work on! A Clear & Compelling Idea that speaks deeply to the right people. The best guests know who they serve, the problem they solve and exactly why the right person should work with them. So on the receiving end of that message, the right person is saying to themselves, “Wow, that's me! I have that exact problem!” Look at Tim Ferris. He has an amazing post where he and one of his team breaks down the launch plan for the 4 Hour Body. He talks about his guest posting strategy, which often featured content written specifically for that blog that wasn't included in the book, but was consistent with the Clear & Compelling Idea of the book. Tim understands his core audience and the many sub-groups within that audience. He will write specific chapters of his books with specific sub-groups of his audience in mind, and then use those chapters to market to that subgroup with laser focus. But it all serves one idea - the Clear & Compelling Idea of the book. It's not just random content thrown in to get attention. It all leads to the same place. Unique and sometimes controversial point of view on the problem. As Chris Lochhead says, if you can reframe the problem - describing the problem in a new and different way, it's assumed that you have the solution. For anyone who now sees the problem the way you do, you are now the natural choice for the solution to the problem. But if you describe the problem in the same way everyone else does, you're starting from a disadvantage. You have to work uphill to establish that your solution is different, because it comes from the same foundation as everyone else, the same perspective on the problem. Work to uncover and refine your opinions until they become razor sharp and positively polarizing, then build your interviews and presentations around those opinions. They lead to your Buying Beliefs, and the more Buying Beliefs people agree with you on, the closer they are to becoming an ideal client. What does it mean to be positively polarizing? A good example is a client, Lars Hedenborg, who coaches real estate team leaders. They are often overworked and feel underpaid, and many have teams that actually take profit out of their pocket while adding work, but they're trapped by the ego drive of the top line numbers that their team does. Lars has a polarizing message, which is to focus on the bottom line, including the actual lifestyle you're living as a team leader, and rebuild the business on a model that's actually scalable and sustainable. We're playing with the messaging right now, but we're tentatively calling it the Scalable Team, a new model for how teams are built and structured to maximize both profit and lifestyle of the team leader. Now that could come across as a very negative message - especially if he put all his focus on the smoke and mirrors and ego in the team world. But in the end, any message, no matter how negative, can ultimately be a positive message, because it's not about trashing everything that's out there now. Lars is on a mission to help team leaders create a better lifestyle and more profit. It just happens that letting go of the ego is one of the first steps in building that new kind of team on a new model. So he has to deal with that to push away the wrong people and attract the right people. An offer in exchange for raising their hand - that is both clear and...

I first encountered Dr. Debra Meyerson, Ph.D, through Twitter. She has written a book about stroke and the loss of a sense of identity that follows it. More than a memoir, it tells her story as she navigates the new, post-stroke world, and the stories of a couple dozen other survivors and how their reaction mirror or differ from hers. [caption id="attachment_851" align="alignright" width="166"] Production Assistant Oatmeal reads through Identity Theft.[/caption] She wrote the book because in her experience, not enough rehab facilities and hospitals adequately prepare survivors for the changing sense of self they are likely to encounter, especially as they face the real world with new disabilities. She sent me a copy of the book, and I'm happy to feature her and husband/caregiver Steve Zuckerman in this week's episode. Bio (From https://www.identitytheftbook.org/about-deb-meyerson) "My name is Debra Meyerson" It took me two years to re-learn that sentence! In 2010, when I was a professor at Stanford, I suffered a severe stroke. I lost all movement of my right arm and leg; even worse, I lost all ability to communicate. While I won my struggle to survive, much of my identity – as a Stanford professor, a speaker and writer, an athlete, a mother and a wife – was taken from me. My mind was working but I was trapped inside a broken body, unable to do what I used to do. And maybe even worse, I couldn't tell anyone what I was experiencing. With hard work and a lot of help I regained enough mobility to again be independent, and have recovered some ability to speak. But I have come to accept that I will never again have all the capabilities I once had. I'm still slowly recovering more of my abilities and am continuing to rebuild my identities. I've found few resources to help with the emotional piece of this journey, and have heard the same from many of my fellow survivors. That's why I wrote "Identity Theft: Rediscovering Ourselves after Stroke (May 2019)." As a professor, I studied and taught about how small, everyday actions can disrupt what’s normal, chip away at the status quo, and create positive change. That work led me to write Tempered Radicals, first published in 2001. ​Now, in a very different context, I live by the message I previously taught. With small, deliberate efforts, and a lot of conscious choices, I continue my slow recovery, discover more about myself, and shape my new identities. Hand in Hand Show The Hand in Hand show is another stroke related podcast that's been around for a while. Cam, the host, is one of the survivors featured in Debra's book. She talks about navigating the challenging world of finances and disability payments. Last year, Debra was a guest on Cam's show. You can hear that interview here:   And because this is simultaneously a large and a small community, I was also a guest on Cam's show earlier this year. You can hear that conversation here:   Ischemic Stroke Without a Clot One of the interesting science-y thing about Debra's stroke, is that apparently there was no clot. There are 2 types of strokes that we generally talk about: a hemorrhagic stroke which results from a bleed in the brain and an ischemic stroke which result from a clot in the brain. But ischemic doesn't actually mean "clot." It refers to a lack of oxygen and glucose getting to the cells. Ischemia can result in cell death because the cells starve. Ischemia and cell death is usually the result of a clot blocking blood flow to part of the brain, which is why we usually treat those terms as synonymous. In Debra's case, she had a vertebral artery dissection. That means the lining inside one of the arteries in the back of her head was damaged. In many cases, this allows clots to form, which break off and float further into the brain where they cause a stroke. In this case, though, the damage was such that the lining of the artery itself flapped over and blocked blood from getting through. This appears to have resulted in TIAs (transient ischemic attacks) in the months leading up to her stroke. This is one more reason why if you experience stroke like symptoms or other weird neurological stuff, it's imperative to seek medical treatment ASAP, even if the symptoms go away. Anecdotally, many of the young, athletic ischemic stroke survivors I've spoken with got their strokes from a vertebral artery dissection. A sharp blow or sudden twist in the neck can damage those arteries and result in a stroke months or years later. Again, anecdotally, I've also heard a number of stories about folks having a stroke from a vertebral artery dissection due to a neck adjustment by a chiropractor. I understand many chiropractors use a different technique now, but be very cautious about letting anyone adjust your neck. The risk just isn't worth it. Ischemia is an interesting thing and isn't always bad either. Dr. Nirav Shah talked to us about Remote Ischemic Conditioning back in episode 55: http://Strokecast.com/RIC. What are you working on?

Hickies are an alternative to shoe laces that allow folks to secure their shoes with one hand or even to turn traditional lace up athletic shoes into slip-on/slip-off shoes. They can be a great alternative to Velcro shoe closures because, quite frankly, the selection of good-looking Velcro based sneakers is pretty slim.

This week, we learned about the tragic death of Luke Perry. He suffered a stroke at age 52 and did not survive. This sparked comments across social media that many of us have had to address only in personal conversations before. Namely: "I thought you had to be old to have a stroke!" Those of us who spend a lot of time dealing with and thinking about stroke know that is completely untrue. But most folks are not part of our community, and it takes a major celebrity death to really get people to think about it. My hope is that some good can come from this. If Luke Perry's death inspires more folks to check and know their risk factors, that's a good thing. If it encourages more folks to know the BEFAST warning signs of stroke, that is also a good thing. There's the potential for Luke Perry's death to save the lives of hundreds or thousands of other people by driving increased awareness and response to stroke and its causes. How Can You Help? Media attention can be fleeting so now is the time to take action. Are you involved with a school, community, civic, or religious organization that brings in speakers? Ask them to invite a stroke survivor or medical professional to talk to the group about their story and share more info on stroke recognition and prevention.  If you don't know anyone personally who can speak, reach out. If your group meets in the Puget Sound area of Western Washington, let me know and I'll be happy to talk to your group or connect you with someone else who can. In other areas, reach out to your local chapter of the American Heart Association. They can help. Or search through Facebook forums or Twitter hashtags (like #stroke or #stroke survivor). Or contact your local hospital and ask them if they know of someone Do you want to share your story? Reach out to groups or schools who may want a speaker. Contact the American Heart Association or your country's equivalent, and let them know. Start a podcast, YouTube channel, Instagram account or build your own stage another way. Reach out to other stroke survivor podcasters who may be looking for guests, like Cam at the Hand in Hand Show or Joe at NeuroNerds. Or me here. Distribute and promote the BEFAST warning signs. The point is, now is the time to talk about it. Hack of the Week I keep an umbrella stand near the door, but I don't fill it with umbrellas. We're not big umbrella people here in Seattle. Plus, the hand I would use to hold an umbrella is busy holding my cane. And my girlfriend won't let me be seen in public wearing a head-mounted umbrella. Which is probably a good call. That's why my umbrella stand is filled with canes. It's a great way to store them. I can grab a different one as I head out the door, depending on my mood, goals, and wardrobe that day. And when I'm not using one, I keep it safely out of the way. Program Note There will not be a new episode next week (2019-03-15) because I'll be out of town on my 7th JoCo Cruise. I'd rather not rush the post production on that episode so I'm taking next week off.  The next episode of Strokecast will go live on Friday, March 22. lt will feature Gianna Rojas -- the One Handed Lady Golfer talking about how she helps stroke survivors get back on the golf course and reconnect with their passion for the game.

Rev. Benjamin Ashong 

Shortly after my stroke, I wanted to learn more about just what was going on with my brain. Naturally, I turned to a combination of podcasts and book. There weren't a whole lot of podcasts, though. That's one reason I started this one, But there were a few. One of them was The Slow Road to Better. This podcast, from the Stroke Comeback Center in Vienna, VA, is about life with aphasia. But it's not just by aphasia researchers. The show is a panel discussion by folks living with aphasia and working to recover more and more of their language skills every day. This week I talk with the folks from The Slow Road to Better. We explore what they get out of doing the show, what the wish other folks knew about aphasia, and much more. Technical Notes Usually when I do a remote interview, I conduct it over Skype or Zoom. This time, it was a little different. We needed to accommodate 5 people in Virginia plus my connection and maximize the audio quality in the process. Since they are already podcasters, that meant we could do a double ender. That means Melissa recorded their end of the conversation, while I recorded mine. We talked with each other via cell phone. I had my phone headset on while they put me on speakerphone on a cell phone in the middle of the conference table. Melissa then sent her recording in Audacity to me via Dropbox, and I stitched them together. It came out fairly well.   Hack of the week The group had two main tips for living life with aphasia. First find a support group. Look for other folks navigating life with aphasia and share your experience. Second, if you find a task is too frustrating and you keep trying again and again and again, and it's just not working. Take a break from it and work on some other aspect of your recovery. There's always plenty of stuff to work on.   Related Links The Slow Road to Better on Apple Podcasts https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-slow-road-to-better/id1208357373   Stroke Comeback Center https://strokecomebackcenter.org/ Stroke Comeback Center on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/StrokeComebackCenter Stroke Comeback Center on Twitter https://twitter.com/StrokeComeback National Aphasia Association https://www.aphasia.org/ Bill's conversation about aphasia with Reva Zimmerman http://strokecast.com/reva Hand in Hand Show https://handinhandshow.com/ Enable Me https://enableme.org.au/Community/Podcasts   Where do we go from here?

This is a repost of one of our most popular episodes at the request of our members. It is widely believed that stroke recovery ends by the 18th month. In 2017, a case has been published that a Canadian survivor John Humphrey made significant recover on his motor skills 23 years after stroke.

Statistics has shown that stroke survivors are far more concerned about challenges in adjustment to "the New Normal" than anything else. Communication is on the top of the list. It is not just aphasia. Survivors often find it hard to share their thoughts and experience with loved ones. The change is too traumatic and drastic. Making the situation more complex, not so many researchers are focusing on this. Now there is a researcher turning his focus on this issue.

Strokefocus and its podcast, Hand in Hand is today's topic. In this episode, Cam interviews Nancy, Alison and Daniel to understand how Strokefocus started. Strokefocus started as Wohaula. In 2012, Daniel suffered a brainstem stroke before turning 41. Two fellow survivors made a tremendous difference to his recovery. One was Alison Shapiro. In 2002, Alison survived 2 brainstem strokes. Through her own remarkable recovery, she discovered that survivors could significantly improve the recovery outcome by effectively engaging themselves. She developed a program to help survivors. Daniel found Alison through the Internet. Alison coached Daniel in the most critical stage of his recovery. They never met in person. Yet the support significantly changed the course of Daniel's recovery outcome. Inspired by their own experience, in 2014, Daniel, his wife Hong, Alison and some friends started Wohaula, which meant I have survived in Mandarin. It is also known now as Strokefocus. In building Wohaula, Daniel found Nancy Weckwerth, who is a caregiver and author.
