If “balance your hormones” feels like a wellness buzzword, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Tara and Elizabeth sit down with Gregory Dodell, MD—board-certified endocrinologist, owner of Central Park Endocrinology, and the brain behind Everything Endocrine on Instagram—to unpack hormones without diet culture.    Dr. Dodell shares his evolution to weight-neutral, stigma-free care, explains what hormones actually are, and gives clear, practical guidance for PCOS, thyroid health, cortisol, and when GLP-1 medications make sense.    We also cover the lab tests worth asking for, why strength training matters, GLP-1s, and how to navigate the “just lose weight” directive so many patients still hear. Consider this your evidence-informed, compassion-first hormone primer.   In this episode: Dr. Dodell's shift from weight-centric training to weight-inclusive care Hormones 101: pituitary → thyroid feedback loops, cortisol basics PCOS made simple: insulin resistance as the foundation “Balance your hormones” claims—what helps and what's hype Lab panels to discuss with your provider (and how often) GLP-1 meds: when they help, red flags, and the importance of monitoring + muscle How to respond when a provider says “just lose weight”   Connect with Dr. Dodell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everything_endocrine/ Website: https://www.centralparkendocrinology.com/   Wellness: Rebranded is turning 3 years old!

✨ Episode OverviewWeddings are so much more than two people saying “I do.” They're about the blending of families, generations coming together, and creating an environment where everyone — from grandma to the flower girl — feels included, comfortable, and cared for.In this heartfelt and insightful episode, I sit down with Brittany Janice Renault, a talented Big Island–based photographer known for her warm energy, natural connection with clients, and ability to capture intimate, joy-filled moments. Brittany shares her expert tips on how couples (and photographers!) can make the entire family feel relaxed and at ease on the wedding day — because when the family feels good, the photos feel magical.

The Inclusive Voice Show with Host Pam McElvane 10.04.25 by WCPT 820 Weekend

==============================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MUJERES 2025“AMANECER CON JESÚS”Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================05 de Octubre¡Cumi!«Jesús la tomó de la mano, y le dijo: ¡Talita cumi!, es decir, A ti, niña, te digo: ¡levántate!» (Marcos 5: 41, RVC).¿Qué viene a tu mente cuando escuchas la expresión «levántate»? Si tienes hijos en edad escolar, es probable que hayas dicho esta palabra en repetidas ocasiones por las mañanas cuando no quieren bajar de la cama. Inclusive, has perdido algunas veces la paciencia cuando no te obedecen. ¿Me equivoco? Hagamos un recorrido por la Biblia acerca de la orden «¡levántate!».Cuando Dios dio a Abram la promesa de lo incontable que sería su descendencia, le dijo, «levántate y recorre la tierra a lo largo y a lo ancho, porque a ti te la daré». El padre de la fe obedeció (Génesis 13: 17). En Egipto, Dios ordena a Moisés: «Levántate muy temprano, y preséntate ante el faraón, y dile: Así dice el Señor». Moisés obedeció (Éxodo 9: 13). Al inicio de su carrera, Josué recibe la orden: «Levántate y pasa este Jordán tú y todo este pueblo». Y el líder obedeció (Josué 1: 2, RV95). Después de elegir a 300 hombres para pelear por su pueblo, una noche Dios ordena a Josué: «Levántate y ataca el campamento madianita porque yo los he entregado en tus manos». Y el guerrero obedeció (Jueces 7:9).Cansado de caminar todo un día, Elías se quedó dormido. El ángel del Señor lo despertó y le dijo que comiera. Elías comió y se volvió a dormir. «Pero el ángel del Señor volvió por segunda vez, lo despertó y le dijo: “Levántate y come, que todavía tienes un largo camino por recorrer”». El patriarca obedeció (1 Reyes 19: 7). Al hijo muerto de una viuda en Naín, Jesús dijo: «Joven, a ti te digo levántate». Y el muchacho volvió a la vida (Lucas 7: 14). Al paralítico de Betesda dijo: «Levántate, toma tu lecho y vete». Y el enfermo obedeció (Juan 5: 8). En el devastado hogar de la niña del texto de hoy, Jesús dice: «Talita, cumi». Y la niña resucitó.La buena noticia es que hoy el Señor te llama por tu nombre y te dice: «¡Cumi!» ¡Levántate después de ese fracaso amoroso o laboral! ¡Cumi de esa tristeza que te embarga! ¡Cumi de la pereza espiritual! ¡Cumi de tus miedos y fortalécete como Elías! ¡Levántate y abre el Jordán como Josué, gana la batalla como Gedeón, vuelve a la vida como el hijo de la viuda y la hija de Jairo! ¡Levántate y anda como el paralítico! ¡Levántate y resplandece que la gloria del Señor brilla sobre ti! (Isaías 60: 1). 

We trace why “bring your whole self to work” fell flat, how subtle detractor patterns (ignoring, courtesy code switching, email habits) silently erode trust, and why inclusion is less about demographics and more about everyday micro-behaviors. Kimberly makes it real: when team members only get replies if they CC the boss, people stop trying. When leaders say they value input but don't create safety, trust collapses.The surprise? Homogeneous teams with strong inclusion behaviors can outperform diverse ones without them. Inclusion isn't about who's at the table—it's whether voices matter once they're there.I push back on the myth of “leader angst”: making things better is the leader's job. Kimberly adds the missing truth: the biggest cost isn't money or time—it's the vulnerability of having real conversations with your team.This isn't theory. It's leadership on the line. And it's the difference between wasting hours in ignored emails versus amplifying effectiveness by 30% with no extra cost—just courage.TL;DR* Inclusion ≠ diversity quotas—it's behaviors that create belonging.* Five detractor patterns silently kill inclusion (ignoring, courtesy code switching, etc.).* Leaders can't outsource inclusion—HR can't carry this, only teams can.* Effectiveness jumps when small friction points (like ignored emails) get fixed.* The real cost: leaders must get vulnerable, confront team dynamics, and stay accountable.Memorable lines “No one wakes up in the morning saying, ‘I hope I'm excluded today.'” “Courtesy code switching sounds respectful—but it actually silences voices.” “Making things better is literally the leader's job. Otherwise, a bot could replace you.” “Inclusion isn't a social program—it's how you answer your team's emails.”Guest Kimberly Lewis Parsons — Founder & CEO of Bamboo Teaming; expert in inclusive teaming, executive team coaching, and shifting leaders from ineffective habits to productive collaboration.

Entre relatórios de sustentabilidade pomposos e campanhas emocionantes estreladas por celebridades, o mercado adora se vestir de verde. Mas, na prática, qual é o real compromisso das empresas diante da crise climática? No Braincast de hoje, recebemos Délcio Rodrigues, físico e diretor do Instituto ClimaInfo, para uma conversa sem jargões sobre como o setor privado pode (e deve) ir além do greenwashing e assumir um papel central no enfrentamento da emergência climática. Estamos falando novo modelo econômico mais justo e menos destrutivo: não existe lucro em um planeta colapsado. Então, como alinhar negócios e futuro?

It could be a fun gym class challenge for students who were athletic and competitive, but for everyone else it offered a source of anxiety and occasionally embarrassment. The twice-yearly assessment was retired by former President Obama, but in July, President Trump signed an executive order to revive it.

AI is reshaping industries at a rapid pace, but as its influence grows, so do the ethical concerns that come with it.   This episode examines how AI is being applied across sectors such as healthcare, finance, and retail, while also exploring the crucial issue of ensuring that these technologies align with human values.   In this conversation, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined by Hemant Gahankari, Senior Principal OCI Instructor, who emphasizes the importance of fairness, inclusivity, transparency, and accountability in AI systems.   AI for You: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/ai-for-you/152601/   Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/   X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   ---------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript:   00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! In our last episode, we spoke about how Oracle integrates AI capabilities into its Fusion Applications to enhance business workflows, and we focused on Predictive, Generative, and Agentic AI. Lois: Today, we'll discuss the various applications of AI. This is the final episode in our AI series, and before we close, we'll also touch upon ethical and responsible AI.  01:01 Nikita: Taking us through all of this is Senior Principal OCI Instructor Hemant Gahankari. Hi Hemant! AI is pretty much everywhere today. So, can you explain how it is being used in industries like retail, hospitality, health care, and so on?  Hemant: AI isn't just for sci-fi movies anymore. It's helping doctors spot diseases earlier and even discover new drugs faster. Imagine an AI that can look at an X-ray and say, hey, there is something sketchy here before a human even notices. Wild, right? Banks and fintech companies are all over AI. Fraud detection. AI has got it covered. Those robo advisors managing your investments? That's AI too. Ever noticed how e-commerce companies always seem to know what you want? That's AI studying your habits and nudging you towards that next purchase or binge watch. Factories are getting smarter. AI predicts when machines will fail so they can fix them before everything grinds to a halt. Less downtime, more efficiency. Everyone wins. Farming has gone high tech. Drones and AI analyze crops, optimize water use, and even help with harvesting. Self-driving cars get all the hype, but even your everyday GPS uses AI to dodge traffic jams. And if AI can save me from sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I'm all for it. 02:40 Nikita: Agreed! Thanks for that overview, but let's get into specific scenarios within each industry.  Hemant: Let us take a scenario in the retail industry-- a retail clothing line with dozens of brick-and-mortar stores. Maintaining proper inventory levels in stores and regional warehouses is critical for retailers. In this low-margin business, being out of a popular product is especially challenging during sales and promotions. Managers want to delight shoppers and increase sales but without overbuying. That's where AI steps in. The retailer has multiple information sources, ranging from point-of-sale terminals to warehouse inventory systems. This data can be used to train a forecasting model that can make predictions, such as demand increase due to a holiday or planned marketing promotion, and determine the time required to acquire and distribute the extra inventory. Most ERP-based forecasting systems can produce sophisticated reports. A generative AI report writer goes further, creating custom plain-language summaries of these reports tailored for each store, instructing managers about how to maximize sales of well-stocked items while mitigating possible shortages. 04:11 Lois: Ok. How is AI being used in the hospitality sector, Hemant? Hemant: Let us take an example of a hotel chain that depends on positive ratings on social media and review websites. One common challenge they face is keeping track of online reviews, leading to missed opportunities to engage unhappy customers complaining on social media. Hotel managers don't know what's being said fast enough to address problems in real-time. Here, AI can be used to create a large data set from the tens of thousands of previously published online reviews. A textual language AI system can perform a sentiment analysis across the data to determine a baseline that can be periodically re-evaluated to spot trends. Data scientists could also build a model that correlates these textual messages and their sentiments against specific hotel locations and other factors, such as weather. Generative AI can extract valuable suggestions and insights from both positive and negative comments. 05:27 Nikita: That's great. And what about Financial Services? I know banks use AI quite often to detect fraud. Hemant: Unfortunately, fraud can creep into any part of a bank's retail operations. Fraud can happen with online transactions, from a phone or browser, and offsite ATMs too. Without trust, banks won't have customers or shareholders. Excessive fraud and delays in detecting it can violate financial industry regulations. Fraud detection combines AI technologies, such as computer vision to interpret scanned documents, document verification to authenticate IDs like driver's licenses, and machine learning to analyze patterns. These tools work together to assess the risk of fraud in each transaction within seconds. When the system detects a high risk, it triggers automated responses, such as placing holds on withdrawals or requesting additional identification from customers, to prevent fraudulent activity and protect both the business and its client. 06:42 Nikita: Wow, interesting. And how is AI being used in the health industry, especially when it comes to improving patient care? Hemant: Medical appointments can be frustrating for everyone involved—patients, receptionists, nurses, and physicians. There are many time-consuming steps, including scheduling, checking in, interactions with the doctors, checking out, and follow-ups. AI can fix this problem through electronic health records to analyze lab results, paper forms, scans, and structured data, summarizing insights for doctors with the latest research and patient history. This helps practice reduced costs, boost earnings, and deliver faster, more personalized care. 07:32 Lois: Let's take a look at one more industry. How is manufacturing using AI? Hemant: A factory that makes metal parts and other products use both visual inspections and electronic means to monitor product quality. A part that fails to meet the requirements may be reworked or repurposed, or it may need to be scrapped. The factory seeks to maximize profits and throughput by shipping as much good material as possible, while minimizing waste by detecting and handling defects early. The way AI can help here is with the quality assurance process, which creates X-ray images. This data can be interpreted by computer vision, which can learn to identify cracks and other weak spots, after being trained on a large data set. In addition, problematic or ambiguous data can be highlighted for human inspectors. 08:36 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest tech. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

That's education.oracle.com/race-to-certification-2025. 09:20 Nikita: Welcome back! AI can be used effectively to automate a variety of tasks to improve productivity, efficiency, cost savings. But I'm sure AI has its constraints too, right? Can you talk about what happens if AI isn't able to echo human ethics?  Hemant: AI can fail due to lack of ethics.  AI can spot patterns, not make moral calls. It doesn't feel guilt, understand context, or take responsibility. That is still up to us.  Decisions are only as good as the data behind them. For example, health care AI underdiagnosing women because research data was mostly male. Artificial narrow intelligence tends to automate discrimination at scale. Recruiting AI downgraded resumes just because it had a word "women's" (for example, women's chess club). Who is responsible when AI fails? For example, if a self-driving car hits someone, we cannot blame the car. Then who owns the failure? The programmer? The CEO? Can we really trust corporations or governments having programmed the use of AI not to be evil correctly? So, it's clear that AI needs oversight to function smoothly. 10:48 Lois: So, Hemant, how can we design AI in ways that respect and reflect human values? Hemant: Think of ethics like a tree. It needs all parts working together. Roots represent intent. That is our values and principles. The trunk stands for safeguards, our systems, and structures. And the branches are the outcomes we aim for. If the roots are shallow, the tree falls. If the trunk is weak, damage seeps through. The health of roots and trunk shapes the strength of our ethical outcomes. Fairness means nothing without ethical intent behind it. For example, a bank promotes its loan algorithm as fair. But it uses zip codes in decision-making, effectively penalizing people based on race. That's not fairness. That's harm disguised as data. Inclusivity depends on the intent sustainability. Inclusive design isn't just a check box. It needs a long-term commitment. For example, controllers for gamers with disabilities are only possible because of sustained R&D and intentional design choices. Without investment in inclusion, accessibility is left behind. Transparency depends on the safeguard robustness. Transparency is only useful if the system is secure and resilient. For example, a medical AI may be explainable, but if it is vulnerable to hacking, transparency won't matter. Accountability depends on the safeguard privacy and traceability. You can't hold people accountable if there is no trail to follow. For example, after a fatal self-driving car crash, deleted system logs meant no one could be held responsible. Without auditability, accountability collapses. So remember, outcomes are what we see, but they rely on intent to guide priorities and safeguards to support execution. That's why humans must have a final say. AI has no grasp of ethics, but we do. 13:16 Nikita: So, what you're saying is ethical intent and robust AI safeguards need to go hand in hand if we are to truly leverage AI we can trust. Hemant: When it comes to AI, preventing harm is a must. Take self-driving cars, for example. Keeping pedestrians safe is absolutely critical, which means the technology has to be rock solid and reliable. At the same time, fairness and inclusivity can't be overlooked. If an AI system used for hiring learns from biased past data, say, mostly male candidates being hired, it can end up repeating those biases, shutting out qualified candidates unfairly. Transparency and accountability go hand in hand. Imagine a loan rejection if the AI's decision isn't clear or explainable. It becomes impossible for someone to challenge or understand why they were turned down. And of course, robustness supports fairness too. Loan approval systems need strong security to prevent attacks that could manipulate decisions and undermine trust.  We must build AI that reflects human values and has safeguards. This makes sure that AI is fair, inclusive, transparent, and accountable.  14:44 Lois: Before we wrap, can you talk about why AI can fail? Let's continue with your analogy of the tree. Can you explain how AI failures occur and how we can address them? Hemant: Root elements like do not harm and sustainability are fundamental to ethical AI development. When these roots fail, the consequences can be serious. For example, a clear failure of do not harm is AI-powered surveillance tools misused by authoritarian regimes. This happens because there were no ethical constraints guiding how the technology was deployed. The solution is clear-- implement strong ethical use policies and conduct human rights impact assessment to prevent such misuse. On the sustainability front, training AI models can consume massive amount of energy. This failure occurs because environmental costs are not considered. To fix this, organizations are adopting carbon-aware computing practices to minimize AI's environmental footprint. By addressing these root failures, we can ensure AI is developed and used responsibly with respect for human rights and the planet. An example of a robustness failure can be a chatbot hallucinating nonexistent legal precedence used in court filings. This could be due to training on unverified internet data and no fact-checking layer. This can be fixed by grounding in authoritative databases. An example of a privacy failure can be AI facial recognition database created without user consent. The reason being no consent was taken for data collection. This can be fixed by adopting privacy-preserving techniques. An example of a fairness failure can be generated images of CEOs as white men and nurses as women, minorities. The reason being training on imbalanced internet images reflecting societal stereotypes. And the fix is to use diverse set of images. 17:18 Lois: I think this would be incomplete if we don't talk about inclusivity, transparency, and accountability failures. How can they be addressed, Hemant? Hemant: An example of an inclusivity failure can be a voice assistant not understanding accents. The reason being training data lacked diversity. And the fix is to use inclusive data. An example of a transparency and accountability failure can be teachers could not challenge AI-generated performance scores due to opaque calculations. The reason being no explainability tools are used. The fix being high-impact AI needs human review pathways and explainability built in. 18:04 Lois: Thank you, Hemant, for a fantastic conversation.

Mientras Jesús anduvo en su ministerio terrenal en el Medio Oriente, con frecuencia los agentes del mal se enfrentaron con él. En repetidas ocasiones le decían frases como «yo sé quién eres tú, eres el Santo de Dios» o «¿qué tienes contra nosotros, Jesús de Nazaret? ¿Has venido para destruirnos? Yo sé quién eres, el Santo de Dios» (Lucas 4: 34).¿Qué conocimiento tenía esos demonios sobre el hijo de Dios? ¿Se habían visto antes? Bastante. En el cielo le habían servido como su supremo comandante y le habían ofrecido las más dulces notas de alabanzas. Ahora se volvían a encontrar, pero ningún indicio de pureza les llenaba. Todo su ser había sido corrompido, y esos ángeles, que alguna vez fueron nobles, buenos y de gran belleza, ahora estaban llenos de odio y maldad. El apóstol Pablo, sabiendo que la lucha es real, exhorta a la iglesia a estar preparada. «Porque no estamos luchando contra enemigos de carne y hueso, sino contra las potencias invisibles que dominan en este mundo de tinieblas, contra las fuerzas espirituales del mal habitantes de un mundo supra terreno» (Efesios 6: 12, BLPH)En su guerra contra Cristo, los mismos demonios aparecieron en forma de humanos y en los tiempos finales lo volverán a hacer. Elena G. de White refiere: «Se me mostró que malos ángeles, bajo la forma de creyentes, obrarán en nuestras filas para introducir un fuerte espíritu de incredulidad» El mundo ha evolucionado y con ellos las artimañas del enemigo. Ya no es común observar a una persona poseída por malos espíritus. Satanás mejoró su técnica para pasar desapercibido mientras actúa en contra del pueblo de Dios. Inclusive, le conviene que muchos no crean en su existencia. Querida amiga, la lucha es real. Dos fuerzas pelean por tu corazón. Las fuerzas del mal se enfrentaron a su propio Creador y este los venció únicamente por su estrecha relación con su Padre celestial. La buena noticia es que hoy Jesús pelea por nosotros si se lo permitimos. Mientras él habite en nuestro corazón, el enemigo no tendrá espacio. Deja que Dios pelee tus batallas espirituales porque esta guerra no es contra seres humanos. 

China's top leadership has emphasized a people-centered approach during the country's economic and social development in the next five years, as they decided to hold the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee from October 20 to 23 to discuss a proposal for the 15th Five-Year Plan (01:03). Traveling and shopping in China are trending among international tourists under visa exemptions and tax refunds (01:44). And Iran has rejected the return of sanctions, calling the action by the E3 "illegal and unjustified (12:43)."

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a daily companion for many—summarizing texts, providing quick answers, or finding the right image for a presentation. What often goes unnoticed, however, is that AI systems are far from neutral. Distortions in training data, the concentration of AI development in the Global North, dominant cultural perspectives, and the lack of material in less widely used languages all contribute to biases that algorithms reproduce and even amplify. In their ifa study “Inclusive and Secure Artificial Intelligence: A Global Perspective on Policy and Technical Developments”, researchers Dr Saiph Savage and Lili Savage examine how these distortions arise and explore ways to address them. In this episode of ‘Die Kulturmittler:innen', they join host Amira El Ahl to discuss inclusive AI design, the role of cultural institutions and international NGOs, and how we can work toward more ethical and inclusive AI systems.

DateSeptember 28, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we reimagine salvation not as a fear-driven, one-and-done transaction but as God's healing and wholeness breaking into real life—personal and communal, present and active. We move from private assurance to public restoration, learning to “work out” salvation together through justice, mercy, and everyday mending. Where the world feels frayed, we become agents of repair, embodying Jesus' pattern of healing, belonging, and restitution—here and now.

Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions. Resources and links to the open-access article, Disability Resource Hub, and related tools are in the show notes.

Aos 91 anos, Dona Margarida realizou um sonho que parecia ter ficado no passado: lançou seu primeiro disco, assinado com o nome artístico que um dia sonhou carregar, Maria Piedade. O que foi interrompido pelas imposições de uma época, renasceu agora pelas mãos de seus filhos e netos, que transformaram sua história em música e memória.Desde pequena, Margarida cantava na igreja e em programas de calouros das rádios do interior, chegando a dividir bastidores com Ângela Maria e Carlos Galhardo. Em São Paulo, foi eleita “estrela do quarto centenário” da Rádio Nacional entre centenas de candidatos. Parecia o início de uma carreira promissora. Mas o pai a alertou sobre os riscos do ambiente artístico, e um locutor lhe disse que, para vencer, seria preciso “ceder”. Margarida não aceitou esse destino, então decidiu deixar os palcos, voltar para Itapetininga, reatar o namoro com seu ex-companheiro e se dedicar à família.Virou professora de música, mas logo a maternidade ocupou seu tempo. Só que a música nunca saiu de sua vida porque ela a apresentou para os filhos e netos, que se tornariam músicos também. Inclusive, foi deles a ideia de resgatar as canções que ela entoava nas rádios e gravar um álbum em sua homenagem.Quando o disco chegou à rádio e à igreja de Avaré, cidade onde a família mora, Dona Margarida se emocionou ao ouvir pessoas comentarem: “Margarida, ouvi seu CD!”. Entre as faixas, está “Menino Grande”, música que dedicava ao marido. Inspirado, o filho Juca compôs também “Meu Menino Grande”, celebrando o amor dos pais.Hoje, aos 91 anos, Maria Piedade deixa para sua família e para o mundo um registro eterno. Um disco que carrega não só as músicas, mas a prova de que sonhos podem adormecer, mas nunca desaparecem.Compre o livro do ter.a.pia "A história do outro muda a gente" e se emocione com as histórias : https://amzn.to/3CGZkc5Tenha acesso a histórias e conteúdos exclusivos do canal, seja um apoiador http://apoia.se/historiasdeterapia

Vamos falar de turismo: o Ministério anunciou novas regras para hotéis, com diária de 24h, limpeza cronometrada e check-in digital. Mas será que isso resolve ou só cria novas tretas na relação entre hóspede e hotel? E também política e cultura: depois de anos sequestrada pela extrema direita, a bandeira do Brasil volta às ruas em atos pela democracia.

Unlock Your Best Skin Yet — Join My Free Live Webinar! Tired of falling for marketing hype and wondering if that $200 serum is actually worth it? This week's episode will change how you think about everything from drugstore finds to "medical grade" products. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Patti Farris, a board-certified dermatologist who's spent decades in clinical practice, research, and education before pivoting to full-time consulting with major cosmetic companies. Dr. Farris pulls back the curtain on how brands actually develop and test products, the importance of including all skin tones in research, and why the clean beauty movement isn't as clear-cut as it seems. The conversation also touches on how social media is shaping unrealistic beauty standards, the rise of skin minimalism, and the cutting-edge innovations like AI-driven formulations, new sunscreen filters, and regenerative ingredients that are set to transform the industry. Key Takeaways: ✓ Major drugstore brands often have better research backing than luxury products ✓ "Clean beauty" has no standardized definition ✓ Natural doesn't always mean better ✓ Medical grade simply means designed for use under medical supervision - It's not FDA-approved or necessarily more effective than over-the-counter options ✓ New ingredient development takes 7+ years  ✓ The "democratization of skincare" means effective products are now accessible to everyone, not just those with luxury budgets ✓ If you're worried about "clean" beauty, just use less - The environmental impact of constant product cycling is worse than most ingredient concerns If you've ever felt lost in the skincare aisle or wondered which claims you can actually trust, this episode gives you the insider's perspective you need. Dr. Patti Farris is a board certified dermatologist with 35 years of clinical, research and teaching experience. She left her private practice three years ago and now works full time as a consultant for cosmetic companies. Dr. Farris is well known for her expertise in cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals and has lectured internationally and published extensively on these subjects. She edited and authored a textbook Cosmeceuticals and Cosmetic Practice and her consumer book the Sugar Detox was a best-seller.  She is co-founder and co-director of the Science of Skin Summit, an educational meeting held in Austin, Texas designed to educate Health Care Professionals on the science behind skincare and skin therapeutics.  She also co-hosts the podcast Skincare Confidential that gives listeners a 360 degree look at the skincare industry.
