For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Dawn Davies in Swansea. Around two years ago, Dawn was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's. It came as a massive shock and Dawn retreated from the world, even the idea of leaving the house terrified her. But with support from her family and the Dementia Hwb in Swansea's Quadrant Shopping Centre, Dawn turned things around. Dawn now works at the Hwb, helping others deal with a dementia diagnosis. You can visit alzheimers.org.uk/publications for our range of publications and factsheets designed to support and inform anyone affected by dementia.

Becki Bawler, who works at Risca Community Comprehensive School and leads the development of the Digital Competence Framework in Wales, joined our Head of Education, Mark Anderson in this Insights from NetSupport video to discuss how digital skills are now at the forefront of Wales' educational goals.  The framework for digital competence is one of the three cross-curricular skills they discuss and is of equal importance to literacy and numeracy. She also discusses the significance of the Hwb platform, which is accessible to every student and teacher in Wales. During the pandemic, the Hwb platform, which provides access to Office 365, Google for Education, Adobe Creative Cloud, and other platforms, has been essential, allowing everyone easy remote access.   In addition, they discuss the significance of developing digital skills among teachers who are less digitally competent and suggest that training enthusiastic teachers from all faculties has been effective in promoting the development of digital skills and digital buy-in  You can find Becki on her Twitter at: @beckibawler (https://twitter.com/BeckiBawler) Risca Community Comprehensive School cab also be found on Twitter at: @RiscaCCS (https://twitter.com/RiscaCCS) For more Insights and many more useful videos, please subscribe to the NetSupport channel.

The Pandemic brought about so many challenges, some of which have revealed new strengths and services. It was no different for HomeWorld Business when they were faced with how to report on their annual Top Housewares Retailer Report. HWB, partnering with NPD, quickly responded to the challenge and created a new report that provided even more themes and market dynamics important to be aware of in these changing times. HWB and NPD are great examples of taking on the challenges that COVID presented and finding a new way forward. In this podcast, our guests are Peter Gianetti and Mike Duff, from HomeWorld Business and Joe Derochowski from NPD Group. Peter is the Editor-in-Chief of HWB and Mike is the Executive Editor. Joe is the Vice President & Industry Advisor for Home. You will learn how this new reporting format came about, insights into trends revealed by this report, how the shift of Prime Day impacted our industry, and other retail market insights. This is one you won’t want to miss. Additional Resources: HomeWorld Business NPD Top 50 Housewares Retailers

Many HWB Chapters organize People’s Clinics. People’s Clinics are free or sliding scale holistic health clinics that can take many forms - popup clinic at a table in a community room or local health food store, mobile clinic via bike, van, bus, cart. A monthly repeat clinic at a specific location. A disaster relief clinic after a hurricane, forest fire, flood, or catastrophic event. We may want to reach the homeless community, veterans, people in recovery, or families in shelters. In many cases, if we want to reach marginalized communities - especially for disaster relief - we must work with or alongside the public health system to reach those in need. Finn is working with HWB to help Organizers connect those dots to utilize the tools needed to integrate into PH systems. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello Friends… I’m so happy that you’ve joined me!  We’re going to dive into discovery together with my awesome, fun guests today- Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray   I often start the top of the show with a quote that I particularly like from the interview- and it typically isn’t me -BUT-  in this case, it seemed really apropos because some really cool connections followed my interview with Denise and Alastair that kind of illustrated what I was sharing in the quote about how I build my content organically.   Regular listeners may have listed to  my interview in August with Karen Allen E034- which was so fabulous and please take a listen if you haven’t yet- and in the interview Karen spoke about her Start up to Stellar class for homeopaths to create an outrageously successful practice.   She was gracious and generous and offered my listeners 25% off the class enrollment fee- such a beautiful gift which I did take advantage of, as I have been wanting to take that class for years.   So- I signed up for this cohort which just started this past weekend   (totally mind blowing first session- if you didn’t hop in this time, I’m sorry for you- honestly!- but join her mailing list for when the class opens again because its amazing and i’m only 2 hours in).   and I had recorded the interview with Denise and Alastair this past week. And as it goes- Karen referenced some of Alastair’s work he did on his Masters’ degree about what makes homeopaths successful, and in the class, with me,  are some of his students *and* 1M podcast listeners-   it was such a neat cross section of the homeopathy community, and I know we’re a small one, all things considered, and so it's not a HUGE coincidence, but I thought it was cool and wanted to share how these threads braided together over these 2 episodes for me.   I also wanted give share a little of that behind the scenes chat and how I do this, which, now you know, is very haphazard in an inspired kind of way :)   So- YES! Denise and Alastair. Listen- do yourselves a favor and follow their Facebook page if you are not already- at the Academy of Homeopathic Education, NY- World. They post all manner of fun and inspiring and educational bits. They are truly a dynamic duo- a very complimentary pair- you’ll hear in our interview how in sync they are with each other, and that harmonizing they do together obviously potentizes their work because WOW, so much is happening with them, for homeopathy, and for the benefit of the world, really, because of their heart and passion and smarts and experience. You can learn more about them individually at their Whole Health Now bios:  http://www.wholehealthnow.com/bios/denise-straiges.html http://www.wholehealthnow.com/bios/alastair-gray.html Denise's practice site Alastair's practice site  I love what they’re doing, and you’ll hear a bit in the interview that I’m pretty gung-ho to discuss educational philosophy- as I have many times here on the podcast- because it is also where my heart is, next to actually practicing.  Alastair shared his thoughts about the technology of education now, and it's so relevant. I’ve mentioned before, I think, on the show that my husband is a consultant. And he was at a meeting this last week at a University. We talk a lot about our work and he was telling me that the University is being challenged because a majority of their students fill out their application forms -to college- on their mobile devices. And, they are writing papers on mobile devices! And here, so many institutions have invested millions of dollars in their platforms and what have you, but they have to be optimized for mobile- at least, that was my take-away. How do they make this shift from having put so much energy and resources into the desktop and online experience, into mobile? I think its more complex than that, but that was one point.   Now- some people may think this is weird, or not understand this. Why would people be using phones, if they can use a computer? And I started thinking- you know, I am of the generation that got the first computers as kids. We grew up with the Apple2cs (bear with me- i’m going somewhere with this, its relevant I promise!) and Commodore 64s. Smart phones didn’t come around until I already had kids.   But MY kids, have had smart phones in their lives for as long as they can remember. As far as they are concerned, a computer is a tablet, is a phone. They don’t have this investment in a computer base. Why would you be tethered to a machine plugged into a wall, if you can do the same thing with something in your pocket the size of a wallet? THIS is our world. THESE are our future homeopaths. Not to mention the fact that in low income families, if there is access to the internet at all, its likely though a mobile device. Computers are still expensive. Mobile devices are not.   Think about the effort of Jeremy Sherr in Tanzania and HWB in Haiti- places where we often hear that people don’t have access to adequate food often, or medicine, but there are mobile phones. Just think about that. What that means for education, and access. YES, people need food and water- no question. But if we as homeopaths understand how these devices and technology can assist us in providing homeopathic education and tools and services-I know the Tanzania project uses Firefly, a mobile repertory app that I also recently downloaded and am trying to find my way around— it’s essential that some of us are working the field in this way.   I believe that homeopathy is the medicine of the past present and future, and the present and future are indisputably, integrated with technology.   Listen, sometimes a scoffing of technology, or a wistfulness of the good old days of pre-smart phone and computers is heavy in the mix with alternative and natural trends, and I understand the concerns there, but if we can leverage technology to bring homeopathy through the 21st and into the  22nd century stronger than ever before, I bet that all of you listening, are behind that.   So- that is just ONE REASON why I am so excited to bring you this conversation with Alastair and Denise because they are on the leading edge of this *and* holding onto the heart of homeopathy and our history while they do it. And finally- I have a queue of awesome shows coming up. In fact, I might end up putting out some extra mid-month shows because I don’t want to hold on to them for too long

Today I’m bringing you an interview I did with Lauren Fox and Holly Manoogian, of Homeopaths Without Borders. HWB is a volunteer run organization that was founded in 1996. Their mission-from the website-  is to introduce or advance the understanding and use of homeopathy in areas where it does not yet exist or is minimally available, as well as to promote and provide homeopathic care and healing in emergency situations.   To date they have provided service in Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Haiti.   There is much more to the history and evolution of the organization at their website, hwbna.org. You can visit there and read all about the visionary individuals who have been a part of its beginnings and subsequent success.   Please especially check out the information about their clinical curriculum-Essential Curriculum for Learning Homeopathy-  which is available to purchase in English, or French.  It’s a thorough, compact training thats’ making its way around the world, perfect for study groups, homeopathy schools, practitioners wanting to integrate homeopathy, and more. It’s one of the resources used in the first-year program at the Baylight Center for Homeopathy in Portland, ME, where I teach. Again, you can find more information on the website.   I’ve brought to the podcast before representatives from other non-profit homeopathic efforts, like Camilla Sherr and Jane Davy from HHA, and just last month Carla Marcellus from HTSF, working in Honduras. There are many other efforts, most of which are much less well known than these projects, or are quite local to the country of their organizer’s origin. Homeopathy lends itself so well to taking it abroad and sharing it in areas of need, to people of little means, in geographic areas that can’t support hospitals and such other challenges, that it had me thinking- when were the first such efforts on behalf of homeopathy?   As many of long-time listeners know, I have a strong interest in our history and often bring archival readings to the show.   So for this episode-before I bring in my interview with Holly and Lauren- I wanted to share a bit of what I found in my sleuthing efforts to find the earliest mention possible of homeopaths working outside of their own communities and intentionally bringing homeopathy to an area of need.   When I do these searches, I confine them to my own personal access to old journals in my software. So it is by no means an exhaustive or definitive research effort.   But-   As you can imagine, it’s not easy to find. In the earliest years, mid- late 1800s, homeopathy was truly in its infancy, and though it was gaining support and popularity through epidemics and the like, homeopaths needed to make a living just as we do now, they also faced strong criticism and resistance, and not to mention, travel - I have to assume- was much more costly and difficult than our current ease of booking online, and networks of hostels, airbnb’s, and the other ammenities for the international traveler. Not that our homeopathic volunteers are staying in airbnb’s per se, but I’m sure you catch my drift.   In anycase, many homeopaths were more… advanced, enlightened, complex thinkers—- however you want to consider it- than the allopathic physicians at the time, that I think it was definitely possible and probable that some were seeing the potential of homeopathy to affect parts of the world in need.   So, I looked for references in the oldest journals I have access to. Mostly I went through the table of contents for titles that were suggestive of what I was looking for.   Definitely documentation of efforts in epidemics are very wide spread, though most of these efforts were reported by homeopaths working within their own cities and communities. I did find an interesting letter coming out of the early days of India, and a series of letters from an anglo homeopath working in an African American community in Virginia, shortly after the Civil War and emancipation.  Listen to the episode to hear me read Letter from India and especially Holly and Lauren's passion for their work in Haiti!

In der öffentlichen Sitzung vom 22.09.2016 begegnet uns mit der HBW (Hauptstelle für Befragungswesen) eine bereits bekannte Institution. Die HBW wurde als Tarnbehörde des Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) im Frühjahr 2014 aufgelöst und hatte zuvor Geflüchtete in Deutschland befragt. Nach den früheren Erkenntnissen im Ausschuss durch die Befragung der ehemaligen Leiterin der HWB, Frau K., waren viele Fragen offen geblieben. (Siehe Folge 15 und Folge 17 in diesem Podcast). Frau K. hatte damals angegeben, nie selber an einer Befragung in Ihrer Behörde teilgenommen zu haben. Darum waren diesmal zwei ehemaliger Befrager durch den Ausschuss geladen. In der öffentlichen Sitzungen wurde vernommen: Herr R.C., ein ehemaliger Befragungsführer einer Dienststellen der HBW. Die Sitzung wurde der Öffentlichkeit diesmal als hausinterner Videostream (der Ausschussmitglieder, jedoch ohne den Zeugen) in einen separaten Saal übertragen um den BND-Mitarbeiter nicht zu enttarnen. Es ging u.a. um Fragen der Befragungsführung, der Aufklärungsziele und der Kooperation innerhalb der Behörde mit dem amerikanischen Militärgehimdienst DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency). Dieser arbeitete in Deutschland bewiesener maßen unter Legende der HBW, also unter Identität der Gastbehörde. Beim zweiten Zeugen und ebenfalls ehemaligem Befrager, sei selbst die Stimme einer möglichen Enttarnung ausgesetzt gewesen. Darum wurde dieser nur in nicht-öffentlicher Sitzung angehört. Der dritte Tagesordnungspunkt war eine nicht-öffentliche Anhörung des Präsidenten des amtierenden Präsidenten des Bundesamts für Verfassungsschutz (BfV).
