She is the woman who started it all, the Tudor dynasty's matriarch, Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII and a truly fascinating figure in her own right. In recent years thanks to historic fiction, she has become a figure of controversy, portrayed as an evil religious zealot, obsessed with getting her son on the throne, but is this interpretation of her in any way accurate? Well today I am thrilled to welcome historian and author Lauren Johnson onto the podcast for the first time. Lauren's upcoming book, Margaret Beaufort, Survivor, Rebel, Kingmaker, is the backbone of this conversation, so join Lauren and I as we explore the life of Margaret Beaufort and smash apart some of the long held beliefs about her life, and life story.

If Lincoln / Ramsey hopes to get him back, they'll have to rely on somebody they hoped they'd never have to see again: The mentor that made them who they are today.

Board creates task force to evaluate safety needs Does the Garrison School need armed police protection? That's the question to be considered by a task force created by the school board at its Jan. 8 meeting. "We're concerned about safety, as all schools across the country are, particularly when it comes to gun violence or violence on school grounds," said Greg Stowell, the superintendent of the district, which has about 200 students from pre-K through eighth grade. The task force, consisting of parents, teachers, board members and residents, will consider whether to include funding in next year's budget for a school resource officer (SRO) or a special patrol officer (SPO). In Putnam County, SROs are sheriff's deputies with training to work in schools and teach classes on topics such as personal safety, cyberbullying and drug awareness. SPOs are retired officers who typically focus only on safety. Both are armed. The annual cost would be about $100,000 for an SRO or $70,000 for an SPO, Stowell said. Haldane has an SRO. The Beacon district has considered SROs but in 2018 hired a retired city police officer as its first director of security. He oversees unarmed security monitors, with one assigned to each elementary school, four to Rombout Middle School and six to Beacon High School. Garrison discussed the issue in 2020 and is reconsidering it at the request of the Garrison Teachers' Association. Lauren Johnson, the co-president, said teachers favored an "extra layer" of security. "My children have SROs in their school," said Johnson. The officer is "a valued member of their communities. It's something that would be a value added to our district." At the Jan. 8 meeting, Stowell said data about the effect of police officers in schools is mixed. On one hand, he said, "it can foster a great sense of security" and help strengthen relationships with law enforcement. Conversely, a police officer could "create a more punitive environment" with the potential for arrests for minor infractions. Because Garrison doesn't have a high school, Stowell said he doubted the district would need the more comprehensive presence of an SRO. He said Garrison is the only district in Putnam County without an SRO or SPO. He also said the district could consider hiring an unarmed security guard. "It's always a question of how to best allocate resources," said Dan Jasnow, the board vice president. "My instinct is always to put as much of our resources as we can into the educational mission." He added, however, that if an officer is needed to facilitate that mission, "that's something we have to take very seriously." Board member Eric Arnold said there were inexpensive ways to improve safety at the school without bringing in an armed officer, including education about firearms safety and the role of law enforcement, and listening for signs that students might be disturbed enough to commit violence. He pointed out that many school shooters say things to friends or post on social media about their plans. At Haldane, the SRO plays an important role in promoting safety, said Carl Albano, the district's interim superintendent who formerly held the same position at Garrison. As an example, he noted that Haldane's officer, Anthony Tolve, helps with traffic safety, especially with speeding high school drivers. "To have someone doing traffic control, safety training and going into the classrooms in a high school is valuable," said Albano. He said the SRO will also provide gun safety training if the school learns a student has access to weapons in a home. He added that the SRO has not led to a more punitive environment because discipline is overseen by principals.

If you're trying to trap a god, what do you use as bait? Why, everything, of course. It will take some of the team's finest minds to lure the Star King into a snare, while a completely different set of equally fine minds try to lure his Princes to a battlefield the good guys control.

In this week's episode of Red Pill Your Healthcast, Dr. Charlie Faganholz and Lauren Johnson tackle a variety of health-related questions submitted by listeners. We kick off the discussion by addressing how to improve lung health, particularly for children who frequently experience respiratory issues. Lauren emphasizes the importance of assessing the indoor air quality and suggests using air purifiers and testing for mold. Dr. Charlie adds that supporting the immune system with specific supplements like glutathione, vitamin A, and herbal tonics can be beneficial. Next, we delve into the topic of foot fungus and dry, cracked heels, highlighting the connection between systemic fungal issues and localized symptoms. We recommend a combination of antifungal herbs and dietary adjustments to address these concerns effectively. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of discontinuing proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Pepsin, especially for individuals with a history of H. pylori infection and gallbladder removal. We stress the importance of a gradual approach to tapering off PPIs and suggest exploring root causes, including potential food sensitivities and emotional factors. As we wrap up, we discuss preparing for a C-section, emphasizing the need for emotional support and physical preparation through supplements and red light therapy. Finally, we touch on the use of nicotine pouches and the management of gestational diabetes, advocating for home blood sugar monitoring as a practical alternative to traditional testing methods.

When Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, he needed to prove that she was not a virgin when they wed. One woman was key to proving this: Catalina of Motril, Catherine's enslaved servant who was always present in the royal bedroom. Before the divorce, though, what was Catalina's experience like in the heart of the Tudor court? What would it have been like for her, as a person of colour in Tudor England? And did Henry's lawyers ever track her down? Joining Kate today is historian and author Lauren Johnson, to help us get to know Catalina's remarkable story better. This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Living in 7 different states and is now in Austin, Texas. Which is how we were able to become good friends.

A man facing charges in Sunday's drunk driving crash that killed two people and injured nine others at Park Tavern in St. Louis Park is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon.There are questions surrounding his DWI record. During yesterday's news conference outlining the charges, Hennepin County Attorney Moriarty said it was “hugely problematic” that Steven Bailey still had a driver's license. Bailey had an ignition interlock installed in his car for several years after convictions for drunk driving.The Minnesota Department of Health estimates one in seven Minnesotans has at least one DWI. The national group Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) argues ignition locks and other technology preventing an intoxicated driver from operating their car could help reduce drunken driving deaths. For more on these steps, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Lauren Johnson, marketing and community engagement manager for MADD's Upper Midwest Region.
