Grief is something we'll all come to experience at different stages in life, whether it be coping with the death of a loved one, or any significant loss such as the end of a marriage, the death of a pet, being made redundant, and so on. And yet, despite the universality of grief, it's a topic of conversation that's often avoided as we prefer to look on the "bright side" of things or "look ahead" rather than deal with uncomfortable or devastating realities. In this episode of Being Human, Dr. Chua Sook Ning talks to Dr. John Wilson - Director of the Bereavement Service at the Communities Centre, York St. John University. John has specialised in bereavement counselling for over 25 years and shares his insights into grief, the process of grieving, and how we can support others through their bereavement. -- For more information on Relate Malaysia and our services, visit www.relate.com.my

Attorney John Ray has called for a closer examination of the movements of Asa Ellerup, the wife of accused serial killer Rex Heuermann, in light of new evidence that appears to contradict her alibi. This development comes as Heuermann faces charges in connection with the murders of several women, including Maureen Brainard-Barnes.    Brainard-Barnes, a sex worker, went missing in July 2007, and her body was found in December 2010 on a Long Island beach, alongside the remains of three other women - Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello - all of whom Heuermann is accused of murdering.    Previously, District Attorney Ray Tierney's office had asserted that travel and cell phone records indicated that Ellerup and her children were out of state when these women disappeared, establishing their alibi.    However, during a symposium at St. John University, attorney John Ray presented new evidence challenging this claim. He questioned the use of the phrase "on or about" in court documents, suggesting that the actual timeline of Ellerup's whereabouts may differ from what was previously assumed.    Ray claimed to have received information indicating that Ellerup and her children may have checked into their Atlantic City hotel later than originally reported, potentially altering the timeline of their movements.    The bank statement, cited in the court documents, highlighted a transaction for the Flagship Hotel on July 14, 2007, with an arrival date listed as July 7, 2007 - just two days before Brainard-Barnes disappeared. However, the manager of the hotel allegedly stated that Ellerup checked in on July 17.    John Ray emphasized the significance of these discrepancies, stating, "If those records are correct, then the District Attorney is not right, and Asa Ellerup was not away on July 7, July 8, July 9, July 10," raising questions about her alibi.    Notably, hairs belonging to Ellerup and her children were found near the victims' remains, prompting Ray to call for a renewed focus on the family's potential involvement.    In response to these claims, Victoria Heuermann's attorney, Vess Mitev, criticized Ray's remarks as "unhinged" and "conclusively disproved by factual evidence." He suggested that Ray's statements were an attempt to gain attention.    District Attorney Ray Tierney's office declined to comment on the new evidence, and Asa Ellerup's attorney, Bob Macedonio, has not yet responded to these allegations.    Rex Heuermann, whose DNA was linked to the murders of the Gilgo Four, is under investigation in connection with various cold cases across the country. John Ray has consistently called for Asa Ellerup to be investigated as a potential accomplice in his alleged crimes.    Despite these developments, Heuermann's wife maintains her innocence and has denied any involvement in the murders. She has expressed shock and disorientation following her husband's arrest. However, tipsters have alleged that she was aware of Heuermann's activities and even participated in non-violent sexual encounters with him.    As the investigation into Rex Heuermann expands beyond Suffolk County, questions surrounding the alibis of those close to him continue to arise. The complex case leaves many unresolved questions and underscores the need for further examination. John Ray continues to call for the involvement of federal agencies to ensure a comprehensive investigation. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Tell us what you think of The Bunker in our Listener Survey – five respondents will get the Bunker mug or t-shirt of their choice. Disasters shape the course of politics – and financial crises have heavily impacted Labour's policies over time. A century ago, the Labour party had almost no economic experts within its ranks. Since then it has battled crises like the great depression of the 30s and more recently the economic crash of 2007. How has this changed the party? Dr. Christopher Kirkland is a lecturer in politics at York St. John University and the author of Labour's Economic Ideology Since 1900 Developed Through Crises. He joins Alex Andreou in The Bunker. • “Back to 1929-31…the Labour party only had one recognisable expert in terms of finance.” – Dr. Christopher Kirkland • “What Attlee did and the Labour Party did is they offered something optimistic.” – Dr. Christopher Kirkland • “Blair wanted to present something different - hence the term ‘New Labour'.” – Dr. Christopher Kirkland www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Alex Andreou.

In this conversation, I am speaking with Román Baca. Román is a U.S. Marine Iraq war veteran as well as the co-founder and artistic director of Exit12 Dance Company in New York City. Román was invited to do a TEDx talk in San Antonio in 2013 (⁠https://youtu.be/EjwFMgsQmBI⁠). When I learned of his work, I took the opportunity to visit New York to see his company rehearse and talk with him about his vision. Since then, Román has been a recipient of a Fulbright Award, completed an MFA at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London and is now a PhD Candidate at York St. John University in York, UK. His most recent work was called Truths Colliding, an eight week series of workshops at the Intrepid Air and Space Museum in New York brought military veterans, victims of war and civilians together to move and create a final dance performance on the aircraft carrier. I am delighted to share the exciting work Román is doing bringing dance to the stories of soldiers and those impacted by war.

My guest this week is Professor Tom Dobson. Tom is the Professor of Education at York St. John University. We discuss his research on teaching creativity and what teachers can learn from artist practitioners.

Naomi sits down with Dr. Ruth Knight of York St. John University to explore why we often forget to talk about disability when it comes to eating disorder/disordered eating research. As we strive to be more inclusive and representative in our research, are we making the effort to ask individuals with lived experience what they are going through and adjust research instruments/methodologies accordingly? Additionally, Dr. Knight shares her new paper in Journal of Eating Disorders that seeks to understand the effects of gender and sexual orientation on disordered eating.

VIDEOS: 1. The Anti-Smartphone Revolution – (13:23) ColdFusion 2. Gravitas Plus: Explained: The China-Taiwan conflict (9:11)   HEALTH NEWS Astonishing effects of grapes, remarkable potential for health benefits Frequent nut consumption associated with less inflammation Body posture affects how oral drugs absorbed by stomach [why not supplements too?]  Lifting Weights Beats Out Cycling, Swimming For Vegans Wanting Stronger Bones Perfectionism Linked To Burnout At Work, School And Sports, Research Finds  Mindfulness Therapy Better Than Antidepressants Astonishing effects of grapes, remarkable potential for health benefits Western New England University, August 8, 2022 Recent studies released by Dr. John Pezzuto and his team from Western New England University show “astonishing” effects of grape consumption and “remarkable” impacts on health and on lifespans. Published in the journal Foods, one study showed that adding grapes in an amount equal to just under two cups of grapes per day to a high-fat diet, typically consumed in western countries, yielded reductions in fatty liver and extended lifespans.  Noting that these studies add an entirely new dimension to the old saying ‘you are what you eat,' Pezzuto, who has authored over 600 scientific studies, said that the work with grapes showed actual changes in genetic expression. “That is truly remarkable.” Adding grapes to a high-fat diet also increased levels of antioxidant genes and delayed natural death.  Acknowledging that it is not an exact science to translate years of lifespan from a mouse to a human, Pezzuto said that his best estimate is the change observed in the study would correspond to an additional 4-5 years in the life of a human. Another study by Dr. Pezzuto and his team published in the journal Antioxidants, reported that grape consumption altered gene expression in the brain and had positive effects on behavior and cognition that were impaired by a high-fat diet.  Frequent nut consumption associated with less inflammation Brigham and Women's Hospital, August 1, 2022 In a study of more than 5,000 people, investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital have found that greater intake of nuts was associated with lower levels of biomarkers of inflammation, a finding that may help explain the health benefits of nuts. The results of the study appear in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. “Population studies have consistently supported a protective role of nuts against cardiometabolic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and we know that inflammation is a key process in the development of these diseases,” said corresponding author Ying Bao, MD, ScD, an epidemiologist in BWH's Channing Division of Network Medicine. “Our new work suggests that nuts may exert their beneficial effects in part by reducing systemic inflammation.” In the current study, the research team performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Nurses' Health Study, which includes more than 120,000 female registered nurses, and from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, which includes more than 50,000 male health professionals. The team assessed diet using questionnaires and looked at the levels of certain telltale proteins known as biomarkers in blood samples collected from the study participants. They measured three well-established biomarkers of inflammation: C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL6) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2). After adjusting for age, medical history, lifestyle and other variables, they found that participants who had consumed five or more servings of nuts per week had lower levels of CRP and IL6 than those who never or almost never ate nuts. In addition, people who substituted three servings per week of nuts in place of red meat, processed meat, eggs or refined grains had significantly lower levels of CRP and IL6. Peanuts and tree nuts contain a number of healthful components including magnesium, fiber, L-arginine, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids such as α-linolenic acid.  Body posture affects how oral drugs absorbed by stomach [why not supplements too?]  Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, August 8, 2022 A common, economic, and easy method of administering drugs is orally, by swallowing a pill or capsule. But oral administration is the most complex way for the human body to absorb an active pharmaceutical ingredient, because the bioavailability of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract depends on the medication's ingredients and the stomach's dynamic physiological environment. In Physics of Fluids, researchers from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine employ a biomimetic in-silico simulator based on the realistic anatomy and morphology of the stomach—a “StomachSim”—to investigate and quantify the effect of body posture and stomach motility on drug bioavailability. “”When the pill reaches the stomach, the motion of the stomach walls and the flow of contents inside determine the rate at which it dissolves. The properties of the pill and the stomach contents also play a major role. Stomach contents, motility, and gastric fluid dynamics all play a role in a drug's bioavailability, and stomach contractions can induce pressure and generate complex pill trajectories. This results in varying rates of pill dissolution and nonuniform emptying of the drug into the duodenum and, sometimes, gastric dumping in the case of modified-release dosage. The modeling appears to be the first of its kind to couple gastric biomechanics of posture with pill movement and drug dissolution to quantify an active pharmaceutical ingredientpassing through the pylorus into the duodenum. The model enabled the researchers to calculate and compare the emptying rate and the release of a dissolved active pharmaceutical ingredient into the duodenum for a variety of physiological situations. Lifting Weights Beats Out Cycling, Swimming For Vegans Wanting Stronger Bones Medical University of Vienna (Austria), August 2, 2022 When it comes to bone health, a new study finds people on a plant-based diet should grab the dumbbells. Researchers in Austria have found that lifting weights is the best form of exercise for vegans – trumping cycling and swimming. The team found that vegans who do resistance training once a week – such as machine-work, free weights, or bodyweight resistance – have stronger bones than plant-based eaters who do other forms of exercise. The new study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, found vegans who did resistance training had similar bone structure to omnivores — people who eat both meat and vegetables. For at least five years, authors followed 43 men and women on a plant-based diet and 45 men and women who eat meat as well. “Our study showed resistance training offsets diminished bone structure in vegan people when compared to omnivores.” Perfectionism linked to burnout at work, school and sports, research finds  York St. John University (UK), July 31, 2022 Concerns about perfectionism can sabotage success at work, school or on the playing field, leading to stress, burnout and potential health problems, according to new research published by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.  In the first meta-analysis of the relationship between perfectionism and burnout, researchers analyzed the findings from 43 previous studies conducted over the past 20 years. It turns out perfectionism isn't all bad. One aspect of perfectionism called “perfectionistic strivings” involves the setting of high personal standards and working toward those goals in a pro-active manner. These efforts may help maintain a sense of accomplishment and delay the debilitating effects of burnout, the study found.  The dark side of perfectionism, called “perfectionistic concerns,” can be more detrimental when people constantly worry about making mistakes, letting others down, or not measuring up to their own impossibly high standards, said lead researcher Andrew Hill, an associate professor of sport psychology at York St. John University in England. Previous research has shown that perfectionistic concerns and the stress they generate can contribute to serious healthproblems, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, fatigue and even early mortality. The study was published online in the Personality and Social Psychology Review. The study found that perfectionistic concerns had the strongest negative effects in contributing to burnout in the workplace, possibly because people have more social support and clearly defined objectives in education and sports. A student can be rewarded for hard work with a high grade, or a tennis player can win the big match, but a stellar performance in the workplace may not be recognized or rewarded, which may contribute to cynicism and burnout.  “People need to learn to challenge the irrational beliefs that underlie perfectionistic concerns by setting realistic goals, accepting failure as a learning opportunity, and forgiving themselves when they fail,” Hill said. “Creating environments where creativity, effort and perseverance are valued also would help.”  Mindfulness Therapy Better Than Antidepressants University of Exeter (UK), July 31, 2022  Antidepressants are big business.  But for the same money, and without the side effects, a little mindfulness can do the same job.  A new study from the University of Exeter in the UK suggests that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is just as good as drugs – and maybe even better   MBCT is a structured training program for the mind and body.  It was developed to help people deal with repeated bouts of depression.  It teaches them skills to recognize and respond constructively to the thoughts and feelings associated with relapse.  In other words, it helps patients re-focus their thoughts as a way to avoid falling back into depression. Prior studies have shown that MBCT reduces the risk of relapse or recurrence of depression by about 34% compared to usual care or placebo.  B The research published in The Lancet  followed a group of 424 depressed patients for two years. The patients had all suffered three or more previous major depressive episodes.  And they were all taking a maintenance course of antidepressants. The MBCT group attended eight group therapy sessions in which they learned mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral skills, and participated in group discussions.   After two years, relapse rates were worse in the drug group.  The drug group relapsed at the rate of 47% compared to only 44% for the mindfulness group.  The researchers concluded that MBCT may be an effective alternative to antidepressants for prevention of depressive relapse with no significant difference in cost. And it may be a good alternative for people who choose not to use drugs.  But they also suggested MBCT was more beneficial than drugs in preventing relapses in patients who were at highest risk of relapse especially those who reported severe childhood abuse.

In today's episode of Interactions, we hear from George D. Chryssides of York St. John University and his Canopy Forum article “Jehovah's Witnesses and Religious Persecution: Do Signed Declarations Help?” In his article, Chryssides explores the ways in which Jehovah's Witnesses have been religiously persectued and questions the usefulness of documents meant to criticize this persecution after the release of a joint statement by the US Department of State's Office of International Religious Freedom in 2021. “Few people to whom I have spoken,” writes Chryssides, “including my own Member of Parliament in the UK, have shown any familiarity with the document, which raises the question of how effective such declarations are likely to be.” Chryssides examines the antagonization that the Jehovah's Wittness movement has faced in Russia. At the forefront of this antagonization is the self-proclaimed sectologist Aleksandr Dvorkin, who considers himself a cult expert. Chryssides explains that “Dvorkin succeeded in perpetrating the belief that new religious movements,” like the Jehovah's Witnesses, “were dangerous.” How did this all begin? What's the cause of this persecution toward Jehovah's Witnesses both in Russia and around the world? And are declarations effectual in the diminishment of mistreatment? https://canopyforum.org/2022/06/13/jehovahs-witnesses-and-religious-persecution-do-signed-declarations-help/ (Read) the original article on Canopy Forum. https://cslr.law.emory.edu/scholarship/cslrbooks2016-2021.pdf (Browse )our book brochure.

Thomas Curran from the University of Bath and Andrew Hill from York St. John University completed a meta-analysis on perfectionism. You can read their report here.   What they discovered is that there is a high correlation between perfectionism and the following issues:  Depression, anxiety disorders,  eating disorders, anorexia, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues, chronic migraines, and an increase in suicide rates. But a lot of people think that demanding perfection from themselves and others is a powerful motivator for achieving outcomes. Well, the research didn't back that up. Instead, it makes us perform less well and we wallow in shame as a result.   In this episode, I break down the difference between striving for excellence (which can be positive) and trying to be perfect.     You can listen to this and other episodes of the Finding Peace Podcast at any of the links below: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1472700242  https://open.spotify.com/show/0p6DK6fPPjHH0z911oCuUg  https://www.troyllove.com/thefindingpeacepodcast   Have you heard about the Finding Peace Retreat?   The Finding Peace Retreat is a 4-day, intensive, experiential training based on the Amazon Best-Selling Book, Finding Peace.
