Hema Prakash is a rebel with a cause. She built her career in male-dominated boardrooms. Now she's disrupting another broken system: women's healthcare. In this powerful episode, Hema shares how her rebellious streak, global upbringing, and experience in tech and private equity converged to ignite Ponti Health—a ground-breaking, one-stop clinic for women's health care that refuses to medicalise menopause or diminish a woman's agency.Hema challenges the idea that menopause is a “condition” to be treated. For her, it's a transition—normal, natural, and deserving of slow, respectful, evidence-based care. She opens up about her own journey through perimenopause, what's missing in the Australian health system, and why women must stop putting themselves last. KEY TOPICS: · Menopause isn't a disease—and Héma's on a mission to change how it's treated· Research in women's health is underfunded and needs support.· · What it means to lead with humility, excellence, and empathy in business and health New podcast episodes drop every Monday to power your week. WHO IS HEMA PRAKASH?Hema Prakash is a dynamic entrepreneur and the co-founder of Ponti Health, Australia's first integrated clinic dedicated to women's health. With over 25 years of experience across technology, private equity, and business innovation, she brings a sharp, systems-thinking lens to healthcare.

In deze podcastaflevering staan de JACK&JOZEF bij de Blankenburgtunnel (A24), die deels over de surfplas bij Vlaardingen is aangelegd. Ze bespreken de tol die geheven wordt voor deze nieuwe tunnel, die bestaat uit twee gedeeltes.Het gesprek verschuift naar het verlies van groen en poldergebied door de aanleg van infrastructuur. Er wordt gesproken over het feit dat vroeger heel Schiedam poldergebied was met veel boerderijen, en dat de grond er nog steeds zo'n 20 cm per jaar daalt. Een opmerkelijke uitzondering hierop is de locatie van een oude boerderij.De discussie over koeien in de wei versus koeien op een boot komt aan bod, refererend aan de drijvende koeienfarm in Rotterdam. JACK&JOZEF zijn het niet eens over dit concept: JOZEF vindt het verschrikkelijk dat koeien niet meer in de wei grazen omdat het geld kost, JACK benadrukt de noodzaak van efficiëntie.Daarnaast wordt de AVR (Afvalverwerking Rijnmond) besproken en de enorme hoeveelheid afval die we produceren, zelfs onbewust tijdens vakanties. Het feit dat navullen vroeger normaal was bij winkels als de Hema, en nu weer terugkomt, wordt als positief punt benoemd.Tot slot dromen JACK&JOZEF van een podcastopname in Zweden of Denemarken om een heel andere setting te creëren en het contrast met het 'platte pannenkoek'-land Nederland te ervaren. Ze besluiten om te proberen zich in te schrijven voor het Oerol festival op Terschelling in 2027, waar ze hopen de "explosie" van eenheid en saamhorigheid te ervaren die ze zich herinneren van vroeger.ENGELSTALIGE VERSIE?

Au milieu des montagnes du territoire de Mahagi, sur les rives du lac Albert, coule la rivière Kakoye. Ce cours d'eau sépare la chefferie de Mokombo en deux : la rive ouest, perturbée par la présence de groupes armés, et la paisible rive est, n'ayant jamais connu d'attaque de groupe armé. Aucun milicien n'ose traverser la rivière que les habitants disent magique. Conséquence : cette zone sécurisée accueille des dizaines de milliers de déplacés qui continuent d'arriver en provenance des rives du Lac Albert. De notre envoyée spéciale, En ce milieu d'après-midi, Martine revient du champ le dos courbé. Son grand âge lui a fait oublier sa date d'arrivée dans le camp de déplacé de Guenguere 3, elle qui a toujours vécu sur les rives ouest de la rivière Kakoye. « Je me suis déplacée jusqu'ici parce que mon village a été attaqué. Mon beau-frère a été tué à la machette, certains enfants de la famille aussi. Nos maisons ont été incendiées et nos biens ont été volés. Alors, je suis venue ici », se souvient-elle. Martine accuse la Codeco, une milice qui dit défendre la communauté Lendu. « Je n'avais connu un tel conflit avant. Même quand j'étais petite. Depuis, c'est très difficile. On n'a rien à manger. Si je ne travaille pas comme journalière dans le champ qui appartiennent à d'autres, comment je vais manger ? Et comment nourrir mes enfants ? », s'interroge-t-elle, désespérée.  Malgré cette extrême précarité, les huttes continuent de se construire. Les déplacés sont attirés par la sécurité qui règne dans la zone, en majorité habitée par les Alur. Cette communauté n'a formé aucun groupe armé d'autodéfense et n'est engagée ni dans le conflit communautaire qui oppose les Lendu et les Hema, ni dans les récents affrontements dans la zone littorale à proximité du lac Albert qui opposent les militaires congolais et un nouveau groupe politico-militaire, la CRP. Des affrontements que Silver a fuis il y a trois mois. « Il y a eu un combat acharné. C'était vers une heure du matin, se souvient-il. On a d'abord entendu des coups de feu. On a entendu des bombes. Nous avons pris la fuite d'abord une première fois en septembre dernier. En février, il y a eu de nouveaux affrontements entre les militaires congolais et la CRP. » Ces nouvelles arrivées entraînent des difficultés supplémentaires, déplore Justin Twambe Urumgwa le président du site de Guenguere 3. « Nous manquons de latrines, nous n'avons pas de douches et pourtant, il y a de nouvelles personnes qui arrivent et qui augmentent encore le problème. Pire encore, il n'y a pas de l'eau potable ici. Parfois, les gens se bagarrent à cause des quantités insuffisantes d'eau potable », déplore-t-il. Ces trois derniers mois, 1 880 personnes se sont ajoutées aux 8 000 déjà installées. À lire aussiManenji Mangundu, directeur d'OXFAM en RDC: «La situation humanitaire est très précaire à Goma»

De Russische hackersgroep 'Laundry Bear' zat achter een grote cyberaanval waar onder meer de politie vorig jaar september slachtoffer van was. Wie deze Russische groep is, hoor je in deze uitzending van The Daily Move. Ander nieuws uit The Daily Move: Het plan van Trump voor de bouw van nieuwe AI-datacenters komt maar niet van de grond. En het is nog maar de vraag of het er ooit komt. De jaarcijfers van HEMA kwamen vandaag en die lieten twee dingen zien: de omzet stéég met 2 procent, maar de nettowinst daalde juist. Of het nou goede of slechte cijfers zijn, bespreken we met Kitty Koelemeijer, hoogleraar marketing en retailing aan de Nyenrode Business Universiteit. ING bood vandaag z'n excuses aan vanwege discriminatie. Maar hoe bied je als bedrijf je oprechte excuses aan? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The sound piece was inspired by the Mexico City mariachi street march, I was inspired by the poly rhythmic patterns and the instruments I was hearing over the street sounds in the recording. I enjoyed how the sound kept changing and gave the impression of moving through a street or passage with sound. In my composition I imagined myself as part of the procession whilst trying to create an individual experience and thus the sub-theme: Hema, which is a Tswana word that translate to breathe and comments how collective happenings and events can be a moment of exhalation and clarity for another as it was listening to the original sound.  "I used voice together with virtual and actual instruments to create a multi layered landscape. I used voice over recorded drums,chatter, and a bamboo flute alongside virtual instruments such as brass and atmospheric keys. The sound piece starts with trumpets sounded from the march and into a contemplative soundscape lead by the flute and mouth sounds."  Mexico City mariachis reimagined by Boitumelo Motau. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

A note about the work “The Ant and the Grasshopper” from Hema Padhu for the Michigan Quarterly Review's Winter 2025 Issue: One of my favorite short stories is Trevor William's A Choice of Butchers, and to some extent, his story inspired me to write this one. I'm drawn to children's perspectives. I think adults don't give them enough credit for what they see and understand. A child's perspective, however, is limited, so I wanted to take this story into Divya's adulthood to give the narrator some retrospective understanding of her mother's decision. I love short stories that work with time. It can give a story an expansive, novelistic feel. I wanted to play with time here to trace the life trajectory of these two very different women. The struggles of one generation inevitably echo in the choices made by the next. In both Divya and Selvi's lives, some choices were made consciously, some they had no control over, but throughout the story, both stay true to their nature. I did not want a big epiphany ending. Life rarely works that way.

Huko Gaza Kaskazini, kwenye eneo la wapalestina linalokaliwa na Israeli, wanafamilia zilizofurushwa makwao kutokana na vita kati ya Israeli na wanamgambo wa Hamas wanavumilia msimu wa baridi kali katika makazi ya muda ya mahema yanayopigwa na upepo na mvua usiku na mchana, limesema shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF. Nyumba zao zimeharibika na kuacha watoto kuishi katika mazingira mabaya. Ni sauti ya watoto wakitembea katikati ya mahema ya muda kwenye vichochoro vilivvyojubikwa na matope, hapa Gaza Kaskazini, huku wakijaribu kukwepa madimbwi ya maji yaliyosababishwa na mvua kubwa.Kupitia video iliyoandaliwa na UNICEF, Shahd Omar, msichana mwenye umri wa miaka kumi na saba, anaonekana amembeba nduguye, wengine wanaonekana wamekujikunyata kutokana na baridi. Shahd sasa akiwa amesimama nje hema lao anaelezea jinsi nyumba zao zilivyoharibiwa.“Tunavumilia hali ngumu sana,mvua kubwa, baridi, na upepo mkali, maisha ni magumu sana. Nyumba yetu ilivyoshambuliwa na kubomoka tulijitoa kwenye vifusi. Nyumba yetu imeharibika, hatuna samani, hakuna vituo vya kujikinga, wala mahali pa kukaa ili kupata joto. Maisha ni magumu. Hema letu lilikuwa karibu kupeperuka kwa sababu ya upepo mkali.”Kwingineko hapa, watoto wanaonekana wakicheza kwenye matope nje ya mahema zao huku maji yakitiririka kama mto. Layla Abu Asi ni mama wa watoto watatu, mwenye umri wa miaka 27 anasema,“Baridi hii ni kali mno, haiwezi kuvumilika ,upepo huu mkali umeleta madhara makubwa kwenye hema letu. Tangu asubuhi, maji ya mvua yamejaa kwenye hema letu, kila kitu kilichomo ndani kikilowa na kujaa maji. Watoto wangu wametota kwa maji ya mvua. Hii ni hali mbaya zaidi ambayo tumewahi kukumbana nayo.”UNICEF na wadau wanafanya kila wawezalo kuwasaidia wakazi wa Gaza.

माफ करणं अवघड का आहे? Forgiveness आणि forgetfulness एकच आहे का? माफ करायचं म्हणजे दरवेळी let go करायचं का? माफी मागण्यात कमीपणा का वाटतो? माफीचे टप्पे काय असू शकतात? माफी मागण्याची वेळ असते का? क्षमा केल्यानंतर काय होतं? स्वतःला माफ करणं का महत्वाचं आहे आणि ते शक्य आहे का? या सगळ्यावर आपण हेमा होनवाड (शिक्षिका, Educationist) यांच्याशी खुसपुस केली आहे. Why is forgiveness so difficult? Are forgiveness and forgetfulness the same? Does forgiving always mean letting go? Why does apologizing sometimes feel like a loss of dignity? What are the different stages of forgiveness? Is there a right time to apologize? What happens after we forgive? And most importantly, why is self-forgiveness essential, and is it truly possible? We explored all these questions in a heartfelt conversation with Hema Honawad (Teacher and educationist). Stay tuned for an insightful discussion! आणि मित्रांनो आपलं Merch घेण्यासाठी लगेच click करा!

We start our conversation with Vadi, and why Jamie prefers Vadi to Fiore. We have a discussion about guards and whether Vadi is more defensive than Fiore. You can find updates on Jamie's translation of Vadi's The Art of Swordfighting on his website, here: https://historicalfencingresearch.com/projects/translation-vadi/ Next, Jamie explains about taking the plunge into getting his club its own permanent space. The London Historical Fencing club is one of only around three in the UK that has a permanent home, so we hear how it was possible post-pandemic, and how they manage the classes to make it financially viable. Jamie also explains about the steps they have taken to ensure diversity within the club. Having been involved in running lots of tournaments, Jamie found he was having to make decisions on what HEMA kit is safe enough with nothing much to back up those decisions. So he set up the Historical Research Company Ltd to research historical martial arts safety, starting with research into sword tips. What is the difference between having a tip and no tip on your rapier? And which tips are the safest? Do different tips affect how likely it is for sword to glance off a mask or to stick to a mask, causing concussion and other injuries? You can find out more about the project and its conclusions here: https://historicalfencingresearch.com/projects/safety-tips/ And there's a video here: https://youtu.be/wAZgMmIak-Y You can support Historical Fencing Research here: https://historicalfencingresearch.com/support-our-work/

You can find the book in both audio, print, and ebook formats at https://swordschool.shop/products/the-theory-and-practice-of-historical-martial-arts-audiobook I'm also revisiting my interview with the audiobook's narrator, Kelley Costigan. Here are the notes for the episode: Kelley Costigan is an actor, director, pole dancer, fencer, performance combatant, adventurer and pirate, currently living in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, home of William Shakespeare. Listen to our conversation to discover the Shakespeare connection that inspired me to ask Kelley to narrate my audiobook, The Theory and Practice of Historical Martial Arts. (It's out now: you can probably find it in your audiobook app of choice, or get it directly from me here: https://swordschool.shop/products/the-theory-and-practice-of-historical-martial-arts-audiobook.) As a child, Kelley was told that fencing was “not something that girls do”, but she has since made up for it after taking up HEMA in her 40s. We also talk about competitive fencing, competitive pole dancing (yes, that's a thing,) not being a Russian spy, and what Kelley would do with a million pounds. In case you've never seen someone pole dancing with a sword before, here's one of Kelley's performances: https://vimeo.com/221580829 To find out more about Kelley, her website is www.kelleycostigan.com.

Sword influencers abound on YouTube. Those who specialize in the historic European martial arts, or HEMA, have gained legions of fans showcasing the fantastic, bladed techniques of yore. But talk of parries and pommels has recently given way to bigotry.
