Tania Elfersy is a wife, mum of three, educator, certified transformative coach and author. She has lived in London, Paris, Ho Chi Min City and now resides in Israel. If you are interested in how simple a natural cure can be for Perimenopause symptoms, and how swift, this episode is for you. As I am sure you know, a holiday can transform the way you feel mentally and physically. Tania examines this notion at a deep level and shares how she cured her Perimenopause symptoms (migraines, ,mood swings, night sweats, skin problems and sore breasts) in a matter of days. We talk about Menopause in history, which is truly eye-opening and fascinating, how HRT is not a pre-ordained part of your life (with notable exceptions such as surgical menopause for example), how so many 40 somethings know nothing of Perimenopause and the ancient wisdom of the body. “Our healing is so much simpler than we think.” You can find Tania on her website https://thewiserwoman.com

*To recreate the effect of this sound installation, we strongly recommend listening through headphones.* The Well-Being Cities sound installation is an hour-long interactive tour across 31 countries, starting with the furthest from Buenos Aires in Seoul, with each destination one step closer until we arrive at our host city with the final recording. On one side of the installation space, you will hear an original field recording from that city, documenting a moment in its life. On the other side of the space, you will hear a reimagined composition built from that original recording, with each artist inspired by the source material and the question of what constitutes well-being in a city for them. The pieces change in sync, so the field recording and reimagined composition change to the next destination at precisely the same time.  By physically moving around the space, the listener is able to create his or her own sound mix by proximity to either set of speakers, focusing on the field recording, the composition, and how the two blend with and interact with one another. We invite the listener to participate by immersing themselves in the sound and exploring how 31 artists have reinterpreted the sounds of 31 cities.  The recordings and compositions you will hear are listed in the timecode below.

Well-Being Cities is a unique collaboration between Cities and Memory and C40, a global network of mayors of nearly 100 world-leading cities collaborating to deliver the urgent action needed right now to confront the climate crisis. Thirty-five artists from 14 countries all over the world were chosen from a global open call for applications.  Each has taken inspiration from a field recording from one of 36 cities around the world, including 21 of the C40 cities themselves.  The compositions cover a staggering array of creative styles, from spoken word and radio art to ambient music, electroacoustic compositions and full-on electronic reworkings.  Just as varied as the musical and sonic approaches taken are the thematic addresses of the project's central questions. Compositions reflect on the impact of the Covid-19 lockdowns, climate change, the homogenisation of the modern city, rising urban noise levels, the incorporation of sound into city planning and the collision of the modern with the traditional.  At the heart of the project is one central, 21-minute composition entitled “Well-Being Cities”. This composition is built from a selection of reimagined compositions and original field recordings to create a coherent musical narrative that takes the listener on a journey through the themes addressed by the project. We begin, as many great novels do, in a train station, as we commence our journey in Ho Chi Min City and Kigali with two piano pieces that ask us to take a breath and consider how noise invades and permeates our urban environment. In France, we pause to meditate and think about those spaces in a city that truly invite reflection, quiet and peace, and how these can be preserved and cherished.  From here, the piece takes a darker turn, as a potential nuclear threat emerges, mixed with considerations of defensive architecture, smart cities and the climate crisis. Heeding the warning of today's young people, the piece moves on to ask us how we can work together to co-create a sustainable city that priorities health and well-being, by learning from one another – and, crucially, learning to truly listen to our cities.  Finally, as the pace and urgency picks up, our Well-Being Cities journey ends in the unique urban environment of Venice, running through a rapid-fire wishlist of desires, from community and energy-saving to creative spaces that offer something for everyone. We end on a note of hope and commitment from the “can-do generation” to work together for the benefit of those around us – and those who will follow us.  The “Well-Being Cities” central composition includes excerpts from 17 countries: Chile, Croatia, Cuba, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Rwanda, Turkey and Vietnam.

I went to the main train station and a small crowd waited in the departure hall to access the railway. Overall chatter in Vietnamese and announcement. Recorded at night time. The sounds of public transport and travel are always indicative of a thriving city, and as we struggle to meet the challenges posed by climate change, a reliance on safe, clean and efficient public transport will be one of the key tools at the disposal of a city.

"Travelling to me have always been something positive, the excitement and anticipation building up to the travel almost make worth the whole trip. As it is for many people I find that to travel by train is also something extra, there is perhaps something with the way of travelling close to the ground, the speed that is just right, and the possibility to move around in the train that makes it stand out. Trains embodies the dream to move, to enrich ourselves and to become better.   "Lately, however, all forms of travelling have brought with it something of a bad consciousness in us all since all forms of travelling comes with an environmental debt, making at least me feel slightly guilty every time I travel. The sound of a train station as in this composition is therefore kind of nostalgic to me, something that I hear and remember with fondness.   "On the other hand, trains are perhaps one of the least environmentally destructive ways of moving, making it the future of travelling. In a way this work is also hopeful. "Another aspect of this particular piece is that since it keeps a meditative tone throughout, and I find it increasingly important to retain that kind of sonic quality in cities. It is, I think, dangerous to build cities without thought to how they sound. Too many cities keep the focus on, say, car traffic or make room for noisy commercials or the like. Too few cities have room for though, and room for hearing your own breathing or voice properly. "There are several ways to either remove or, in fact, add sound to a city or human dwelling that actually feel soothing or calming. I am not shure playing meditative music everywhere is one of them, but in this context it serves as a reminder that to be whole as persons we need to make room and time for ourselves. "The piece “Train Station Nostalgia” is a way of capturing both these trains of thought (no pun intended). "My music here is constructed on top of a wonderful recording of a train station at Ho Chi Min in Vietnam. I have never been there, but stations tend to sound more or less the same everywhere in the world. It reminds me of backpacking in my youth, of train travels with family, of the way trains capture our dreams. "The recording is slightly reorganized but mostly used in its original form and not really manipulated.   "The ambient sound of people moving make the background to a piece with a meditative moody minimalistic piano piece. The piano plays several ostinatos, on top of which a melody forms. Bass and chords are introduced and almost take over, but the melody prevails, and the piece slowly ends with the piano ostinato. The piano is an old Steinway that is recorded in Ableton Live and carefully manipulated there, making it sound more electronics at times."

In 2020 Vietnam ran a successful track and trace system, with very few coronavirus infections and for a long time no deaths at all, while other countries had thousands. In 2021 things haven't gone so well and since July strict stay at home orders have been in place in some cities. Nga Pham, a journalist from BBC World News, and software engineer Kevin Vu talk about what life is like in Hanoi and Ho Chi Min City. Dr Monica Lakhanpaul, Professor of Integrated Community Child Health at University College London, talks to Claudia Hammond about a mystery disease outbreak in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. The symptoms are fever, joint pains, headaches and nausea. People born premature can have an increased risk of developing heart problems later in life. For the first time researchers have shown that breast milk can improve heart performance in premature babies. The new study was done by Afif El-Khuffash who looks after premature babies and is Clinical Professor of Paediatrics at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. And Monica and Claudia discuss the latest research into long Covid in children.

Dave decided to try to learn to fly. It went about as well as one could expect when he failed to stick the landing. It's also Yom Kippur, Judaism's favorite celebration of joy and happiness and everything we have ever done wrong, even the things the things we don't know we did wrong. The BEER of the WEEK isn't a Beer, but it is quite delicious. Dave's Historical Rabbit Hole gets to the bottom of why Modesto, CA has a motto that is not the one for which the people of Modesto actually voted. Meanwhile, over in Ho Chi Min City (neè Saigon), the news has Rod asking WTF?

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Armed supporters of Donald Trump force the suspension of democracy in Michigan. Trump and his cronies warn that Pennsylvania could be next if the governor doesn’t go along with Trump’s plan to reopen the country, pandemic be damned. Meanwhile, Trump’s international hotel business enlisted government security forces in Indonesia to intimidate villagers who opposed his new golf resort there. Then Trump went ahead and dug up their community graveyard without permission – just a very classy move. And lastly, as global health experts warn the US is setting itself up for an even more deadly second wave of the coronavirus, there’s another country that is getting rave reviews. People in Vietnam are pulling together to offer their own organs to save the life of a foreigner on life support who they fear could become the country’s first recorded COVID-19 death. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: The terrorists won in Michigan. At least for now. Two weeks ago dozens of armed Trump supporters swarmed the state capitol in Lansing in support of the Republican campaign to force people back to work despite the ongoing pandemic. Yesterday, legislators abruptly canceled their session for fear of more armed incursions by Trumpists wearing masks and fatigues and carrying rifles. News reports and investigations by civil rights groups have confirmed that the ranks of these thugs include white supremacists who advocate lynchings and civil war. They outfit themselves in the fashion of paramilitary death squads. But they also play to the cameras. Yesterday in Lansing, one of the people carrying an AR- pattern rifle also wore a big yellow inflatable Pikachu costume. But the sideshow element distracts from the fact that Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and lawmakers were receiving credible death threats. Organizers of yesterday’s successful fascist rally to shut down democracy called their event Judgment Day. Since the last rally, Michigan Democrats spent their time debating whether and how to ban firearms on the capitol grounds. It seems they moved too slowly. With Michigan thoroughly intimidated, Republicans began turning their attention to Pennsylvania. Donald Trump held a rally at an Eastern Pennsylvania factory yesterday to pressure the Democratic governor, Tom Wolf, to reopen. He also teased the audience for standing six feet apart and said it was time for that to end. Don Junior published a column in Breitbart attacking Wolf, and Tea Party USA president Charlie Kirk called Wolf a tyrant like Michigan Governor Whitmer and said both needed to be stopped. At another reopen on New York’s Long Island, Trump supporters threatened and chased a local TV news reporter. While denying its danger, Republicans are using the pandemic to wage a widespread and coordinated assault on democracy. Don’t expect things to get calmer by November. Trump Desecrates Muslim Graves When it comes to Trump, there is corruption and there is sacriliege. There is corruption, like Trump’s companies getting paid at least nine-hundred and seventy thousand dollars from the US Treasury, since he took office, for renting his properties to government personnel. That figure was in the Washington Post yesterday. There is sacrilege, like how yesterday in Pennsylvania he said the sight of doctors and nurses rushing to their own deaths in hospitals overflowing with COVID cases was, as he put it, beautiful. And sometimes you get both! Corruption and sacrilege in one deal. The Post also reported that Trump’s big resort project in Indonesia tore apart a Muslim burial ground without informing or compensating families whose relatives were buried there. It’s unclear whether the excavation for Trump’s hotel and golf course in West Java was even legal. The local contractor claims it was. It doesn’t hurt their case that the construction crews were backed by state security forces. Apparently they were afraid of poor and unarmed villagers opposed to the desecration of their family grave plots. One woman who spoke to a reporter had two daughters buried at the site. She said, QUOTE Who did they think my children were — dogs? ENDQUOTE. We’re talking about the Trumps? The answer is quite possibly yes. Vietnam's Pandemic Response Praised The country of Vietnam is reportedly pulling out all the stops to prevent its first recorded coronavirus fatality. Skepticism in the official figures are warranted, as it is anywhere in the world. But even the financial news service Reuters, along with other international news media with a presence on the ground in Vietnam, said the story is not off base and the country’s response has been miles ahead of most of the world. And this assessment was backed up by independent international human rights groups, health officials, and diplomats quoted in their reports. Here’s how Reuters summed it up: Through aggressive testing and a mass, centralised quarantine programme, the Southeast Asian country has kept its tally of coronavirus cases to just 288 and has reported no deaths. Australia’s public broadcaster agreed that coordinated and quick government action was key to Vietnam’s success and said QUOTE most experts believe Vietnamese authorities are being honest about coronavirus statistics ENDQUOTE. As of yesterday ten people had volunteered to donate a lung to the one coronavirus patient who was reportedly on the brink of death. The sick man is known only as Patient 91. He is a foreigner: a forty-three year-old British citizen who apparently caught coronavirus at a bar in the financial district of Ho Chi Min City. Patient 91 is a pilot who works for the national airline. One of the people who volunteered his lung was a seventy-year-old veteran of the communist People's Army of Vietnam. (Doctors turned him down.) The government has spent $200,000 to keep this man alive for more than thirty days on life support. The well-being of this foreigner, from a one-time imperial power, is now a matter of national pride in Vietnam. It’s a story to remember as Americans hear more and more from their own government how their utter failure to contain this disease is all the fault of some wicked regimes over in Asia. Last night the lead World Health Organization doctor on COVID-19 told CNN that the some country’s are better-prepared than others for the virus’s second wave, and the US is reopening too quickly. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: A new Columbia University study covered by the Los Angeles Times predicts a forty-five percent increase in homelessness this year in the US. Going by the federal figures, that would mean at least a quarter million more Americans will be living on the streets by the end of the year. The professor who led the study called the economic situation unprecedented, noting that no one living had seen double-digit increases to unemployment in a single month. Interesting times indeed. A couple of wins for the titans of industry: Despite a court order, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency has decided not to impose any limits on a toxic chemical called per- chlorate that is linked to brain damage in fetuses and infants. And California’s Public Utility Commission voted unanimously to waive a $200 million fine against PG&E for negligence causing catastrophic wildfires. The decision overruled a judge’s finding agains the company. The state could use that money. Governor Gavin Newsom yesterday announced more than $6 billion in budget cuts including ten-percent salary cuts for state workers. Politico reports Congressional Democrats are backing out on a student loan forgiveness plan that was until recently included in a $3 trillion coronavirus relief package of legislation. House leadership was reportedly concerned about the cost of the plan, which grew markedly in a Congressional Budget Office estimate that was released just as the bill was being finalized. Democrats’ own amendments will cut the number of borrowers eligible for relief by half. The White House last night was threatening to veto the bill anyway. Richard Burr of North Carolina yesterday stepped down as chairman of the powerful Senate Intelligence Committee, one day after the FBI seized his cell phone in an investigation into his stock trades following a coronavirus briefing. Federal investigators are also investigating Senators James Inhofe of Oklahoma, Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, and Dianne Feinstein of California. Feinstein is the only Democrat. Burr’s loss of leadership on the committee is reportedly temporary, but, of course, that all depends what Attorney General Bill Barr decides to do with the case. That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report. #AMQuickie - May 15, 2020 HOSTS - Sam Seder & Lucie Steiner WRITER - Corey Pein PRODUCER - Dorsey Shaw EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - Brendan Finn

Dear DCIS Parents, With Christmas just around the corner, and at the end of another busy term, it seems the perfect time to reflect on what has been happening in the Primary School. We returned from our restful half term break straight into our busy UN Day preparations which saw the children busily researching the country assigned to their class, as well as making and collecting artefacts for their displays. The culmination of the week was UN Day itself with our annual parade and spectacular country displays down on the field. A big thank you to the teachers who supported to the children with their work, the parents who also helped to set up the displays and of course the Mrs Gray and Mrs Hyland who once again came up with the grand plan for the day! We have had several other celebrations this term. Our Deepavali cultural dress-up day saw 2RB and 2SL, and 3CD and 3AS present their assemblies to staff, children and parents, sharing some interesting facts and stories with us all. Thank you to the students and staff for their collaboration and hard work on this. The DCA treated us to a spooky affair for Halloween, the school looked truly terrifying thanks to the creative decorations and gruesome costumes around the place. Thank you to the DCA for frightening us even more than last year! This year, we raised awareness of Remembrance Day across the school too. You may have noticed the sea of poppies in the corridors; our first ever red and black day was a huge success and we were proud to hand over a financial contribution to the British Legion. Kindness Week, which linked with House Day, got us all thinking of ways to look after each other and was a thoroughly thought-provoking week for us all. Thank you also to Miss Sanderson and Miss Lindars for planning World Children’s Day for us. It was fantastic to see the children take a lead with their learning as they became the teachers and shared skills with their friends in other classes. Our trips continued this term with Year 1 taking part in drama workshops at Centre Stage and Year 2 visiting the National Gallery. There was great excitement as Year 5 headed off to Telunas for their annual residential, with Mr Odey and the Year 5 team. We were delighted to also send a group of children off to Ho Chi Min City for the South-East Asia NAE games led by Mr Carswell and Miss Hughes. As well as this, Mr Baines and Mr Northridge chaperoned a party of Y6 and Y7 students to the NAE STEAM festival in Bangkok. I know the children loved it – they were praised for their innovation, creativity and their impeccable behavior. Trips such as these take a great deal of preparation and planning – a special mention goes to Mr Odey for his work on the Telunas trip and to Mr Carswell for planning the NAE games and to Mr Baines for all the prep with the STEAM trip. A great number of staff have given up their time to support the children – a great big thank you to each and every one of them for their dedication to the school. We were delighted to invite our Year 6 parents into school for an Open Morning in which they found out about the transition to Secondary School. Our Year 6 children thoroughly enjoyed a day in Secondary, meeting the teachers and having a taste of secondary lessons and life as a secondary student. Christmas crept up on us and once again the DCA sprang into action with reindeer, elves and some very familiar faced gingerbread people popping up around the campus! The lower primary nativities were amazing and well-enjoyed by children, parents and some lucky grandparents too. Both nativities were absolute bonanzas and certainly got us all into the Christmas spirit! Wishing happy holidays to you all and for those who celebrate Christmas, I hope you enjoy the festivities.

In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Monica Olyslagers, the Safe Cities Specialist at iRAP, the International Road Assessment Programme. Monica tells us how moving to Ho Chi Min City at the age of 12 sparked her interest in Cities, and why she is so passionate about cycling and the involvement of women in the transport sector. Monica explains a bit about the work IRAP does in assessing star ratings for road safety for different road user groups. For the past four years, Monica lived in Beijing, China at a time when the city experienced its very own "bicycle revolution" driven by new technologies and we discuss some of the projects she's worked on there. Monica and I also cover the enormous challenge of improving road safety, and how improving health outcomes in the community is inextricably linked with improving transport options. We finish our conversation discussing the need to question emerging technology trends in light of what kind of world we actually want to live in in the future. As always I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed making it.Find the full show notes at: www.mysmart.communityConnect with Monica on LinkedInConnect with me via email: hello@mysmart.communityConnect via LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook @smartcommpod

Dr. Shepherd's guests this week are three students—a refugee, a best-selling author, and Mike Korpan too. Evelyn Foreman was born in Ho Chi Min City (formerly Saigon) in postwar Vietnam. At the age of 5, her family fled the country on a refugee boat and was rescued at sea by the U.S. Navy. Evelyn grew up in Los Angeles in a Buddhist home, earned a degree in international marketing and economics from California State-Los Angeles, and now she is beginning her studies for the Unity ministry at U Institute® and Seminary. Doug Duerr is a best-selling author, healthy living coach and Yoga teacher. His hobbies include Latin dance. Now he has danced his way into Unity Institute to begin his studies for the ministry. Also, UI senior Mike Korpran returns as guest co-host. (He's been everywhere and done everything.)
