This quote smacked me right between the eyes when I read it."We judge others by their actions, be we judge ourselves by our intentions."It's a spin-off from a Steven Covey quote: "We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour."Here's why it caught my attention.When we observe other people, we only see their actions and behaviours. We make assumptions about their intentions.Our judgments, good or bad, about another person's actions and behaviours are made from limited information.Flip it around.Before you take action, you know your intention. You have the internal context behind your actions and behaviours.But other people observing you don't. They make assumptions about the intentions behind your actions and behaviours.How often do your actions and behaviours not represent your intentions?For example, my intention was to do the dishes before my wife came home from work.But I got caught up in answering an important email.I had good intentions, but what my wife sees is no action, which could easily lead her to conclude, lazy git, I can't believe he left these dishes here for me to do.Don't be so quick to judge another person's actions and behaviours without knowing their intention. And don't forget to consider if your actions and behaviours are congruent with your intentions.

Journals are really all about their editors. So when journals are bad, it really means editors were bad. But what do we mean by that and what should editors do instead? Of course, as usual we have our own views. So tune in and listen as we share our stories of “the worst things an editor can do.”   As usual, the references to readings we mention are listed on .

Do you like a good daydream? I know I do. But here's why daydreaming can be dangerous and why you should use your discretion when daydreaming.

"I think that a writer should observe the real world before imagining a non-existent one" -Jhumpa Lahiri, In Other WordsIn a day and age where the universe is at our finger tips and we can meander the world with a smart phone in our pocket.  A device that has the ability to solve most of our problems, pay the bills, track your kids, read you a book, take you from A to B, or wander the streets with an incantation of Max Richter in your ears as you lose yourself in the city of Bologna , is it wise to bring a notebook to jot down ideas and thoughts when one could just as easily leave a voice message or make dot points on the Notes app on that back pocket ?  Yes, yes, I think it is wise.Here are a few excerpts from some of my travel diaries, from Italy, France, London.....

‘If you're the smartest person in the room you're in the wrong room.' And when I hosted @tendergramps pre pandemic I was definitely not in the wrong room that's for sure. I could honestly listen to Cole as their way of informing me on at that time a whole new area was most fascinating. Cole had enquired about Freckles wayback though when Cole applied for Scars their own personal journey and experiences really needed to be documented first and then shared, because Cole's delivery with their knowledge on Non-Binary matters demands your attention. Even though technically this was recorded as EP10 for Face Value with Brock Elbank it's now running in the EP8 position and will be available today. These are new works from Cole's series and revisiting the work somehow presented a new feel to their original posts. I received shortly after they returned to the U.S. a typed letter typed on a good old fashioned typewriter and the simple fact they had taken the time to send this kind of sums Cole up. The technical photographic process is one thing that is generally always familiar and second nature to me, but the individual subjects experiences and their knowledge is always something I learn from.Thanks again Cole for sharing much of your hurdles overcome and being part of this new venture that is the podcast!

ONE ACT OF KINDNESS TURNED HER LIFE AROUND Tracie Mower lived for years in a dark world.

It was one act of kindness from a judge. Find out what he did.

Isabella Welch (Bel) is Brock's first guest on the new podcast and for good reason. Bel was born with such a rare cleft she believes there to only be a handful of people in the world with the same or similar cleft. When Maia Bel's older sister reached out to simply enquire whether Bel should apply a bond was formed from that day on. Brock discusses honestly at length Bel's hurdles that she conquers on an hourly basis. Brock also talks of the emotional photo shoot, the lunch with them both the following day with his kids Elkie and Olive, how Bel simply won't be negative with the public and darker times where she had to dig deep to become this phenomenal human-being and the reason for Brock doing the work he does.

The Eyre's join us on this episode from the Big Apple where they are visiting some of their grandkids and going to the U S Open Tennis, Richard's (but also Linda's) passion. As always in the first week of a month, they challenge us to a new twist in our gratitude journals, focusing each day on being thankful for one thing we do not control--from our digestion or sweat glands to the sunset or the weather. The idea is to focus our gratitude this month on Serendipity and Stewardship.

Here is a new freshly baked episode everyone. Please enjoy, have a great weekend and I will catch you all on Monday.

Daniel Sweig had a friend reach out to Brock in regards to Daniel possibly being a good fit for the Scars portraits series in 2019. After receiving Daniel's application brock knew instantly that he was an incredible prospect to the work. Daniel and Brock post shoot formed a tight friendship and Daniel discusses the struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, a car crash that should have killed him, losing an eye, but finding a way back over the coming two years. Daniel and Brock find a lightness to this very heavy topic that inspires all means of people.

Our fourth guest for our Mom series is Dianna Adams! She is the mom of an incredible 5 year old Areata Alopecian named Robyn! Dianna talks with us about the lesson she's taught Robyn on the regrowth and loss of her hair, Robyn's incredible dance recital story, and a book that has helped them both through her hair loss journey. We had such a pleasure speaking with Dianna, and this mom and daughter duo are very near and dear to our hearts and a big part of the reason why we started this series!   Where you can find Shreya's Very Own Style book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735031909/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JRP60VYJVNT7M8BMFVYR   Follow and support Those Bald Chicks: https://direct.me/thosebaldchicks

In 2016 Jodi Whitehouse's CMN charity 'Caring Matters Now' contacted Brock after seeing one of his portraits of a subject with Congenital Melanocytic Nevi (CMN) an extremely rare birthmark that only 1/200,000 are born with. Their aim to produce a photographic exhibition featuring 30 subjects from around the world born with CMN to celebrate diversity and educate the general public of which very few knew of. Brock's brief was to document people and present them individually simply in a positive light to raise much needed body-positive awareness. Jodi who was born with the condition talks about growing up in Liverpool literally not knowing what the condition was, the plethora of medical procedures that robbed her of years of her school life, starting the charity and now 25 years on how their strive to find the cause with relentless funding has put CMN and their organisation on the global stage.

Trudy visited Brock back in 2019 for his current Scar portrait series. An absolute warrior who went from a seemingly jet-set life to discovering that she had kidney failure and the fallout thereafter that seemed important in her life. Trudy's journey makes for a Hollywood film script, that shows the listener that health both mental and physical are far more important than possessions and wealth. Brock delves into the moment where Trudy crossroads moment where she would fight or simply die from this horrible but most inspiring journey.

THE FIFTH NAIL - THE JOURNALS OF JOSEPH EDWARD DUNCAN - EPISODE 1 LINK TO MY YOUTUBE PAGE It is rare that we receive an honest look inside the mind of a serial killer. Some of the most infamous of such people are clearly deceptive, attempting to justify or glorify their crimes, or simply refuse to talk at all. Others are incapable of true insight in their behavior.  Joseph Duncan will be remembered in the public space for his crimes; however, he was more than the serial killer of the news stories and attempts at documenting his life in print media. He was also an intelligent, articulate and sensitive person who endured many brutal and transforming experiences. His actions ruined people's lives, yet during his rampage he would see himself as an instrument of justice against a world that had ruined his own. It was only in the end of his killing spree that he clearly saw his own deception and allowed himself to be captured.  In The Fifth Nail, with Duncan's reflections, we learn the workings of his mind and a significant amount of his personal history. In his confessions, he relates the transformative brutality of his incarceration and reveals details of the crimes for which he was arrested and sentenced to death. In his dreams, we are shown the depth and symbolism of his subconscious and his interpretations thereof. In his chronicles, we are given a first-person look at life in various jails in America and finally in a federal penitentiary on death row.  SOURCES USED: The Fifth Nail The Journals of Joseph Edward Duncan III Volume One

VIDEOS: Dr. Ryan Cole: Covid Vaccine Side Effects Are Like A Nuclear Bomb (10:00) We don't need the CIA – The Chris Hedges Report (10:00)   GlyNAC supplementation reverses aging hallmarks in aging humans Baylor College of Medicine, August 19, 2022 A randomized, double blind human clinical trial conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveals that supplementation with GlyNAC—a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine—improves many age-associated defects in older humans and powerfully promotes healthy aging. This is relevant because until now, there have been no solutions toward improving many of these age-related declines in people. Published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, the study shows that older humans taking GlyNAC for 16-weeks improved many characteristic defects of aging. This includes oxidative stress, glutathione deficiency and multiple aging hallmarks affecting mitochondrial dysfunction, mitophagy, inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, genomic damage, stem cell fatigue and cellular senescence. These were associated with improvements in muscle strength, gait speed, exercise capacity, waist circumference and blood pressure. The improvements in oxidative stress, glutathione levels and mitochondrial function in the muscle tissue of older humans taking GlyNAC were similar to the improvements in organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys of aged mice supplemented with GlyNAC as reported in the researchers' recent publication. Taken together, the results of these studies show that GlyNAC supplementation can improve these defects in many different organs of the body. “GlyNAC supplementation in aging mice increased their length of life mice by 24%,” said Sekhar. “Gait speed is reported to be associated with survival in older humans. Our randomized clinical trial found a significant improvement in gait speed in older humans supplemented with GlyNAC. This raises the interesting question of whether GlyNAC supplementation could have implications for survival in people.” Mitochondria generate energy needed for supporting cellular functions. However, the ability of mitochondria to work well declines as we age. How to improve the ability of these failing mitochondria to work is not well understood, and therefore no solutions have been available. Sekhar's group discovered earlier that supplementing GlyNAC in aged mice corrected malfunctioning mitochondria. However, to definitively determine whether GlyNAC supplementation benefited people, a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was required. After 16-weeks of GlyNAC supplementation, mitochondrial function of older people improve toward levels found in young people. This was accompanied by improvements in multiple additional outcomes as reported in the publication. Analysis of the molecular data from the trial suggests that the GlyNAC supplementation is able to fill cells with younger and more efficient mitochondria. “Collectively these exciting new discoveries hold great promise for improving our mitochondrial and general health as we age,” Sekhar said. A second vital benefit offered by supplementing GlyNAC is that it also helps protect the body from an important problem called oxidative stress. GlyNAC supplementation corrects glutathione deficiency and lowers oxidative stress in older humans back to youthful levels, thereby solving both problems. “One of the intriguing questions from this trial is why so many improvements occur toward promoting health. We believe that this is due to the combined effort of three separate components—glycine, cysteine (from NAC) and glutathione, and not just due to glutathione itself. Glycine and cysteine are both very important for cellular health on their own, and GlyNAC provides both. Glycine and cysteine are building blocks to form glutathione, which also has health benefits. We believe that the improvements in this trial and in our previous studies are the result of the combined effects of glycine and NAC and glutathione, and we refer to this combination as the ‘Power of 3,'” said Sekhar. GlyNAC supplementation improved muscle strength in the upper and lower extremity and a trend toward increased exercise capacity. “These findings could have additional implications for improving the health of older humans, especially in terms of being able to be more physically active,” said Sekhar. High-fructose corn syrup consumption in adolescence impairs learning and memory University of Southern California, August 12, 2022 Because most corn in America is genetically modified to kill corn “pests,” no human on Earth should be eating it, especially every day. This is now being proven by scientists who run tests on animals in laboratories and have concluded that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and sucrose can impair an adolescent animal's ability to learn, and it can impair its ability to remember information. And that brings us to the rat genome. Research reveals a difference between adult animals that consume HFCS-sweetened beverages and adolescent animals that consume the same. The amounts of HFCS used in the research were very similar to the amounts of GMO sugar found in common soft drinks. The study was conducted over one month. The lead author of the study said it's no secret that soft drinks can lead to not only metabolic disturbances but interference with the brain's ability to function normally and remember “critical information” about one's environment. Dr. Scott Kanoski from the University of Southern California explained, “The hippocampus is such a critical brain region for memory function. In many ways this region is a canary in the coal mine, as it is particularly sensitive to insult by various environmental factors, including eating foods that are high in saturated fat and processed sugar.” Music More Effective Than Drugs At Releasing Brain's Painkillers McGill University (Montreal), August 11, 2022 400 published scientific papers have proven the old adage that “music is medicine.” Neurochemical benefits of music can improve the body's immune system, reduce anxiety levels and help regulate mood in ways that drugs have difficulty competing. “We've found compelling evidence that musical interventions can play a health care role in settings ranging from operating rooms to family clinics,” says Prof. Levitin of McGill University's Psychology Department. “But even more importantly, we were able to document the neurochemical mechanisms by which music has an effect in four domains: management of mood, stress, immunity and as an aid to social bonding.” Like other pleasurable experiences, there are two components to enjoying music: anticipation of hearing your favourite song, and then actually hearing it. The brain signalling chemical dopamine, which is linked to reward, is involved in both phases. But neuroscientists have wondered for decades whether there was more to it — what gives music its power to induce euphoria? The brain's natural opioids could be key. Professor Levitin's team showed that blocking opioid signals in the brain by giving people a drug called naltrexone reduces the amount of pleasure they report getting from their favourite song. They still enjoy the anticipation of hearing the song just as much, suggesting that, although dopamine is involved, it's when the opioids kick in that music really starts to affect our minds. A flood of opioids would also explain music's effect on our body. Listening to music is known to raise people's pain thresholds, so much so that in some cases, it can be used to reduce the need for morphine-like painkillers. In their analysis, Levitin's team surveyed over 400 papers, looking for patterns in the scientific evidence supporting the claim that music can affect brain chemistry in a positive way. They succeeded in isolating four areas where music can help: Reward, motivation, and pleasure (to help with eating disorders, as an example) Stress and arousal (to help reduce anxiety) Immunity (to strengthen the body's immune system and slow-down age related decline) Social affiliation (to assist in trust building and social bonding) The researchers connected these areas with four primary neuro-chemical systems: Dopamine and opioids Cortisol (and related hormones) Serotonin (and related hormones) Oxytocin “We know music facilitates active neurochemical processes in a symphony of opioids which pharmaceutical intervention has been unable to match,” said Dr. Francis Chandra commenting on the study. Calcium & magnesium reduce risk of metabolic syndrome: 9000-strong study Case Western Reserve University, August 14, 2022 Calcium and magnesium may reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome – but men need above and beyond recommended levels for this effect, say researchers. The researchers from the Case Western Reserve University in the US used 9,148 adults to test the theory that higher dietary intakes of calcium and magnesium decreased the risk of metabolic syndrome. Using 24-hour recalls as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study, they found women who met the US recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for both magnesium (310–320 mg per day) and calcium (1000–1200 mg per day) saw the greatest decrease in risk of metabolic syndrome. The European RDA for magnesium is 375 mg and 800 mg for calcium. Meanwhile, they did not see the same association for men meeting the RDA for magnesium (400–420 mg per day) and calcium (1000–1200 mg per day), individually or in combination. However, when these intakes were increased to over 386 mg for magnesium and over 1224 mg per day for calcium, the odds of metabolic syndrome for the men was lowered. “The underlying mechanisms driving the differences we and others have observed by sex are not well understood and warrant additional mechanistic studies,” the researchers wrote. The study measured serum triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and glucose levels as markers of the condition Treadmill exercise shown to improve Parkinson's symptoms in mice Rush University Medical Center, August 18, 2022 Regular treadmill exercise helped improve Parkinson's disease symptoms in mice in a recent study by researchers at RUSH University Medical Center. The results of the study were recently published in the Cell Reports. “We're very excited about the results,” said Kalipada Pahan, Ph.D., Floyd A. Davis, MD, Endowed Chair in Neurology and professor of neurological sciences, biochemistry, pharmacology at the RUSH University Medical Center. “Our hope is that we can use this as a jumping off point for furthering our ability to help Parkinson's patients manage their symptoms.” In the study, scientists found positive results in using regular treadmill exercise to stop the spread of the α-synuclein protein and reverse biochemical, cellular, and anatomical changes that occur in the brains of mice with Parkinson's disease in the absence of any drugs. The mice in the trial ran on a treadmill consistently in 30-minute intervals for six days a week, over the course of two months. The findings are key in the ongoing research of Parkinson's, but Pahan and his team were quick to note that while treadmill exercise is something that can be easily available and accessible, some patients with Parkinson's might not be able to run on a treadmill daily. “Once patients are diagnosed with these neurodegenerative disorders, there are no drugs available for halting the disease progression,” Pahan said. “Understanding how the treadmill helps the brain is important to developing treadmill-associated drugs that can inhibit α-synuclein pathology, protect the brain, and stop the progression of Lewy body diseases.” 30 Minutes of Reading a Day Could Add Years to Your Life University of Sussex (UK) and Yale University, August 7, 2022 Past studies have shown that reading books can benefit people in a multitude of ways, physically, mentally, and intellectually. Now in a new study, people who read a book for about 30 minutes a day were found to live approximately 2 years longer than those who didn't read at all. In previous research, curling up with a good book has been shown to improve people's social skills by improving their ability to read the thoughts and feelings of others. Researchers at the University of Sussex in England found that reading was “the most effective way to overcome stress” – even better than listening to music, having a cup of tea, or going for a walk. Reading has also been proven to be a great way to keep the mind sharp, and may reduce mental decline by 32%, helping to prevent Alzheimer's disease. For the new study, researchers from Yale University analyzed data on 3,635 people age 50 and older. The participants were divided into 3 groups – those who didn't read at all, those who read up to 30 minutes a day, and those who read for longer than 3.5 hours per week. Those who read the most tended to be women with college educations and high incomes. The researchers said that book readers appear to have a “significant survival advantage” over people who don't read books. The study didn't address whether reading on a Kindle or other tablet device counted, but it did find that book readers in general lived an average of 2 years longer than non-readers. Specifically, the researchers found that people who read up to 3.5 hours a week were 17% less likely to die over the study's 12-year follow-up period than participants who read no books. This was after accounting for the participants' age, race, self-reported health, depression, employment, and marital status. Compared with those who didn't read books, those who read for more than 3.5 hours a week were 23% less likely to die overall.
