Welcome to the LIVING FOR THE BOYLE review series!  Daniel Francis Boyle originally hailed from Manchester, England and his filmmaking career took off thirty years ago in 1995 with the release of acclaimed cult thriller Shallow Grave.  And ever since then, Danny Boyle (as he's officially known) has carved out a uniquely successful career not only achieving box office success several times but also winning a few Oscars along the way.  During this time period, he has also become one of MY personal favorite directors, having helmed excellent ORIGINAL stories spanning several genres including children's fantasy, science fiction, crime drama, horror, and biopic.  Over the next few months, I will be reviewing some of my favorite entries from his filmography in the lead-up to the long-awaited sequel to one of his more successful films….28 Years Later which will be released in the U.S. on June 20!It's finally here!  Following several months of hype including one of THE more iconic trailers of recent years, Danny Boyle has returned to this ongoing post-apocalyptic saga.  Also returning is screenwriter Alex Garland (Annihilation, Ex Machina) and together they have crafted a new story within this post-apocalyptic universe taking place entirely on the British Isles several years (28 actually) after the initial outbreak of the "Rage virus" which overtook the UK.  This story focuses on young Spike (Alfie Williams) who lives on a remote island off the coast of the infected mainland in a quaint village with his mother (Jodie Comer) and father (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).  There are several harrowing run-in's with the infected but at its core, this is a coming-of-age story.  So does it live up to the hype?  Let's find out....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the biggest stories of the week. On the agenda this time can only be the passing of laws in Britain decriminalising abortion up to birth and legalising state-sponsored suicide. We also look at the Bishop of Manchester's denial that so-called "grooming gangs" had anything to do with race, ethnicity or religion despite this claim being flatly contradicted by the Casey report. In a world that is looking increasingly dark, how should Christians and the Church respond? Buy Jamie's Book!

Walter Page was a longtime member of the Freemasons in Manchester, New Hampshire. As treasurer of his local lodge, Walter had overseen the philanthropic efforts of their chapter for years, and he had also helped sort out the mess following more than one major financial theft. In the days before his death, Walter was on the verge of exposing yet another.Investigators have been exceptionally vocal about their views of what happened on that snowy night in December of 1995 and have even named a primary suspect in the case. But as the 30-year anniversary approaches, she has not been arrested. No one has, and Walter's family is still waiting for the day that their father and grandfather gets the justice he deserves.If you have any information relating to the unsolved homicide of Walter Page, please submit a tip to the New Hampshire Department of Justice Cold Case Unit using the tip form.

Hello Rank Squad!It's Jack's last episode as a Bachelor, and we thought we'd take a look at some transfers to send him off blissfully into wedded life. Liverpool have signed Florian Wirtz, breaking the British Transfer Record in doing so, and we discuss his arrival at Anfield and how he might fit into Arne Slot's Champion Reds next season. That gives us a launchpad to talk about some of the other most expensive transfers in Premier League history, so we rank 2-10 (feels a bit early to judge Wirtz just yet!) in order of the value they provided for their fee and also their transformative impact on their clubs - running through some of the obvious flops, all the way to the deals which are proving worth every penny. There's also time for a little Things We Love, where Jack gives some flowers to Santi Cazorla and Real Oviedo - one of the true feel-good stories of a summer mired in controversy and differing opinions. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Sau căng thẳng với đại học Harvard, chính quyền của tổng thống Donald Trump dọa sẽ thu hồi thị thực du học của hàng vạn sinh viên Trung Quốc. Chỉ trong mấy tháng đầu của nhiệm kỳ Trump 2, con số sinh viên Trung Quốc và Ấn Độ tìm cách chuyển hướng du học dự định tại Mỹ sang các nước nói tiếng Anh khác tăng lên. Anh Quốc luôn là điểm đến được sinh viên châu Á ưa chuộng, vậy tình hình mới này có giúp các đại học Anh đón sinh viên không muốn hoặc không thể vào Mỹ du học ? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang từ Luân Đôn giải thích : "Đầu tiên chúng ta phải nói rõ là xu thế quan tâm tìm chỗ du học ở Mỹ có giảm đi trong năm qua và có tác động của cái gọi là yếu tố “Trump” (Trump factor). Ví dụ trong 12 tháng qua thì có 19,4 triệu lượt tìm kiếm trên kênh du học quốc tế (Studyportals) chú tâm tới các bằng cử nhân và thạc sĩ ở Mỹ, và có 1,7 triệu lượt tìm kiếm vào các đại học ở Anh. Năm trước (2023-2024) thì con số ở Mỹ có cao hơn khá nhiều : 23,8 triệu lượt, so với Anh là 2,01 triệu (nguồn từ trang PoliticHomes ở Anh), tức là sự chú ý với các khóa học ở Mỹ giảm đi 5,5 triệu lượt, một con số cao. Các báo Anh những ngày qua cho hay Anh, sau đó tới Úc và Canada, là các nước đầu bảng để du học sinh Trung Quốc và Ấn Độ hướng tới, khi mà chính sách visa và có thể nói là thái độ căng thẳng của chính quyền Trump vẫn không thuyên giảm với sinh viên quốc tế". RFI tiếng Việt : Nói riêng về sinh viên Trung Quốc, qua quan sát, anh thấy có gì khác về môi trường cho họ tại Anh so với Mỹ và các nước khác ? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang : Thứ nhất là về con số, trừ những năm phong tỏa vì Covid, người ta ước tính hàng năm có trên 1 triệu sinh viên Trung Quốc xuất ngoại để du học. Với con số lớn thế này thì những nước có nhiều trường đại học mới đón đủ. Đài Loan thì có vấn đề chính trị ngoại giao với Trung Quốc nên gần đây hạn chế nhận, Singapore thì nhỏ, ít trường và sinh hoạt đắt đỏ, tuy sinh viên Trung Quốc có tăng trong làn sóng sang các nước láng giềng, nhưng không thể nào bằng thị trường du học đại học hoặc trên đại học ở Mỹ và Anh. Thứ nhì là về các ưu thế truyền thống: Anh thì có rất nhiều điểm vượt trội so với cả Úc, Singapore, Nhật, Hàn Quốc, Đài Loan, về số trường đại học đẳng cấp quốc tế, và cả khối trường tư, dự bị đại học (A-level, Sixth Form Colleges), thậm chí trường nội trú từ cấp 2 cho học sinh nước ngoài, nên Anh có thể “bao trọn gói” việc giáo dục từ nhỏ tới trưởng thành và lên cả cấp trên đại học cho bất cứ người nước ngoài nào tới. Và học sinh, sinh viên Trung Quốc rất thích điều này, chỉ có mỗi nhược điểm là học phí ở Anh cao. Ví dụ một trường tư cho nữ sinh dự bị đại học ở Cardiff có giá là 68 nghìn bảng/năm (trên 90 nghìn USD). Học cấp Sixth Form là 2 năm tức là phải chi tới 180 nghìn USD cho một em. Đây là con số rất cao. Còn thì Anh có ngôn ngữ tiếng Anh tiêu chuẩn, được người Trung Quốc sính hơn là giọng Mỹ, Úc, các đại học có nhiều bộ môn phong phú, từ nhạc cổ điển tới nghệ thuật, kiến trúc, các ngành STEM, kinh tế, xã hội, media ... và đều ở trình độ hàng đầu thế giới. Trong 50 trường hàng đầu thế giới được du học sinh Trung Quốc chọn có nhiều trường của Anh như Nottingham, Manchester, University College London (UCL), Edinburgh, Bristol, và King's College London. RFI : Chính quyền Trump cho rằng du học là ngành phải “phục vụ nước Mỹ trước hết, chứ không phải Trung Quốc” và Mỹ cũng có nhiều lo ngại về “gián điệp Trung Quốc, và sự đánh cắp công nghệ quan trọng từ các viện nghiên cứu của Hoa Kỳ ». Còn tại Anh, có mối lo ngại như vậy đối với sinh viên, nghiên cứu sinh Trung Quốc hay không? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang : Chính giới Anh vẫn luôn đánh giá rủi ro “bị xâm nhập” và mất cắp thông tin có giá trị cao về công nghệ trong các ngành trọng yếu, không nhất thiết là đối với những người từ Trung Quốc, mà đối với tất cả sinh viên, nghiên cứu sinh nước ngoài. Từ những năm trước (cụ thể là từ tháng 5/2021), Quốc hội Anh đã nghe báo cáo về việc đảm bảo cho các đại học phải nhận được chứng chỉ an ninh (security clearance), còn gọi là  ‘ATAS certificate' từ bộ Ngoại Giao, thì mới cho phép sinh viên, nghiên cứu sinh ngoại quốc bước chân vào các ngành có “thông tin công nghệ nhạy cảm”.  Tuy thế, mới đây thì một số tờ báo Anh (như bài của Shaun Wilson ngày 19/04/2025 trên trang The Standard) nói rằng có khoảng 20 đại học Anh vẫn có các quan hệ đối tác với nhóm 7 trường nghiên cứu công nghệ quân sự ở Trung Quốc, sau khi có cảnh báo từ quan chức an ninh tình báo Anh. Chính phủ và các đại học Anh tuy thế vẫn nói rằng họ có cơ chế giám sát và kiểm soát rủi ro. Ví dụ như họ tuân thủ các hướng dẫn UUK guidance, và Trusted Research guidance của chính phủ để đảm bảo an ninh cho các lĩnh vực nhạy cảm như hàng không, khí động học, vi sinh...và những mảng khác. Xin nhắc đây là hợp tác giữa các đại học tức là ở cấp giáo sư, tiến sĩ làm nghiên cứu, chứ không phải là nói về sinh viên. Chuyện sinh viên Trung Quốc bị nghi hay tố cáo như ở Mỹ thì tại Anh chưa thấy báo đài nói tới. RFI: Trở lại giai đoạn trước, tức là nhiệm kỳ 1 của tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump, có phải khi các chính sách ngày càng chặt hơn về visa du học với sinh viên quốc tế khiến Hoa Kỳ mất đi cơ hội thu hút sinh viên quốc tế từ những năm 2017-2021 ? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang : Vâng, một báo cáo của Hội đồng Anh về tình hình các cơ sở  Giáo dục Đại học Anh (UK Higher Education Institutions) vào tháng 02/2025 đã nêu ra một số đánh giá đáng chú ý về xu hướng “tránh chính quyền Donald Trump” trong sinh viên quốc tế, có từ nhiệm kỳ trước của ông Trump (2017-2021). Theo báo cáo này thì ngay trong nhiệm kỳ 1 của ông Trump, sức hấp dẫn của các đại học Mỹ sụt giảm, với con số ghi danh từ sinh viên quốc tế chừng 50 nghìn/năm. Có thể suy đoán rằng thái độ của ông Trump với người Hồi giáo (các vụ trục xuất) khiến sinh viên từ Trung Đông và châu Phi sang Mỹ du học có giảm. Ngoài ra thì người châu Âu cũng ít hơn trước nhưng số người từ Đông Á, nhất là Trung Quốc, tới Mỹ học vẫn tăng đều cho tới đại dịch Covid (2020-2021). RFI: Nói riêng về sinh Trung Quốc, có phải là cứ khi nào Mỹ nhận ít sinh viên du học từ Trung Quốc thì họ lại sang Anh? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang : Sang thời Biden (2021-2024) thì số sinh viên Trung Quốc ở Mỹ đã giảm đi và Anh trở nên hấp dẫn hơn. Có thể nói, năm 2023 là thời kỳ đỉnh điểm của du học Anh với sinh viên Trung Quốc. Theo một điều tra thực hiện với 366.380 sinh viên tốt nghiệp ở nước ngoài về nước của Trung Quốc trong cuốn Sách Xanh (Blue Book) thì 25,75% trở về từ Anh, và 14,73% từ Úc và 11,02% từ Úc. Một nguồn khác là The Economist Intelligence cho hay kể cả sau thời Trump thì sang thời Biden, Mỹ đã bác 39% đơn xin visa du học từ Trung Quốc, một con số kỷ lục. Xin nhắc là từ gần 10 năm qua, Trung Quốc và Mỹ đã căng thẳng chứ không phải đợi đến vụ đại học Harvard bị chính quyền Trump cáo buộc là “hợp tác với đảng Cộng Sản Trung Quốc”. Tức là ngay sau nhiệm kỳ 1 của Trump và đại dịch Covid thì Anh vẫn đứng cao hơn Mỹ về số sinh viên Trung Quốc du học trở về. Nay thì con số vẫn cao nhưng không được như trước: năm 2024 có 103 nghìn visa du học được Anh cấp cho sinh viên Trung Quốc, giảm đi gần 50 nghìn so với năm 2023 (154 nghìn). Các đại học Anh đang hy vọng việc Mỹ “xua đuổi”, làm khó dễ cho sinh viên TQ sẽ khiến nhiều người đang học ở Mỹ chuyển sang Anh và lứa nhập học năm tới sẽ chọn Anh thay cho Mỹ ,vốn bị cho là có rủi ro về visa. Thậm chí các điều tra dư luận nói sinh viên Trung Quốc lo sợ bị kỳ thị, bị bạo hành ở Mỹ vì căng thẳng chính trị, thuế quan hai nước. RFI: Cuối cùng, chính sách visa của Anh thực ra cũng đang thắt chặt với  sinh viên Trung Quốc nói riêng và sinh viên châu Á nói chung, gồm cả Việt Nam, Ấn Độ, Indonesia... Vậy nước Anh có thực sự thu hút sinh viên rồi giữ lại nhân tài phục vụ cho khoa học và kinh tế ? Và Anh đang phải cạnh tranh với các nước khác để thu hút dòng sinh viên quốc tế ? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang : Gần đây Anh ra chính sách visa chặt hơn, nên sinh viên quốc tế, một khi đã chọn con đường đi du học tốn kém, đều nộp đơn vào nhiều trường ở nhiều nước một lúc (gọi là multi-country application), và Anh chỉ là 1 trong số các nước sinh viên châu Á chọn ghi danh. Về các thị trường cạnh tranh với Anh thì có nước láng giềng với hệ thống giáo dục tương đồng là Cộng hòa Ireland. Tháng 1 năm nay tôi có thăm thủ đô Dublin và giao lưu với một số bạn VN bên đó thì được nghe là không chỉ sinh viên và nghiên cứu sinh tiến sĩ từ Việt Nam sang Ireland cũng tăng, tuy chưa phải là số lượng lớn nhưng là con số ngày càng nhiều chứ không giảm đi. Một bạn nói sau đại học, ở lại kiếm việc giảng dạy tại Ireland dễ hơn ở Anh. Như thế, Anh đang phải cạnh tranh với chính các nước tương đồng văn hóa. Rồi các trường ở Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Theo quan sát cá nhân của tôi thì EU (Pháp, Đức, Hà Lan, Đan Mạch, hay cả Hungary, Ba Lan) cũng có các trường tốt, thu hút sinh viên học bằng tiếng Anh với giá cho một năm học thạc sĩ chỉ tính bằng tiền nghìn (euro) chứ không phải tiền trên 10 nghìn, thậm chí vài chục nghìn bảng Anh như tại Anh. Con số chính thức cho hay một năm học phí lấy tấm bằng thạc sĩ (MA) ở Anh là từ 17-30 nghìn bảng, so với các nước EU là 6-20 nghìn euro. Khác biệt rất là lớn. Một báo cáo của Hội đồng Anh từ tháng 2 cũng cho hay một thị trường du học cạnh tranh với Anh nay là vùng Đông Á và Đông Nam Á ví dụ như Đài Loan, Singapore, và cả Malaysia, Thái Lan. Các nghiên cứu của đại học East London và Hội đồng Anh đều nói Anh phải có cách hỗ trợ sinh viên Trung Quốc và châu Á nói chung nhiều hơn nữa, như kết nối họ với thị trường lao động sớm hơn để học xong họ có thể tận dụng thời gian gia hạn thị thực 18 tháng để kiếm được việc đúng ngành học. Nói tóm lại thì như tôi nêu ở trên, các đại học Anh đã rất hấp dẫn sinh viên quốc tế, gồm Trung Quốc, từ lâu nay rồi, chỉ có học phí cao và sinh hoạt đắt đỏ là bước cản trở lớn nhất thôi. Ngoài ra thì nếu muốn thu hút nhân tài và có nguồn nhân lực trẻ, có trình độ cao ở lại, thì Anh phải có chính sách thân thiện, tạo điều kiện hơn cho sinh viên quốc tế tiếp cận các ngành công nghiệp, thị trường lao động. Và đây là câu chuyện lâu dài về hướng nghiệp và tái cấu trúc các ngành kinh tế Anh theo hướng high-tech, digital và AI.

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife.  But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again. The problem?  The massive knowledge gap in hormonal medicine.   That's why this week, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Louise Newson, a trailblazing general practitioner and menopause specialist who's transforming the conversation around hormone health.  We're diving into the real risks of not prescribing HRT, why hormones can be a game changer for your symptoms, and the surprising link between menopause, migraines, and inflammation.  Dr. Newson is bringing the science and clarity to the HRT convo, and she's here to help you reclaim your voice—and your hormonal health.  Listen here to set the record straight and start advocating for what you truly deserve! Dr. Louise Newson Dr. Louise Newson is a physician, women's hormone specialist, and member of the UK Government's Menopause Taskforce. She's an award-winning doctor, educator, and author, dedicated to raising awareness of women's health in perimenopause and menopause.

IN THIS EPISODE The revolution of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy  Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones  Advocating for yourself and addressing the conversation of hormone replacement therapy options with your doctor  Individualizing hormone replacement therapies  Hormones for addressing conditions like migraine  How hormones affect women's long-term health  HRT for mitigating inflammation in the entire body  Lifestyle suggestions and habits to promote hormonal balance  QUOTES “Let's just remind ourselves that hormones are an evidence-based treatment and the guidelines are telling us that it has more benefits than risks for the majority of women. Yet… It's only a minority of women in our countries and other countries that are receiving it.”  “It's harrowing what people are being told by their clinicians. And they often just want advice. They don't always want treatment, or they want to know the treatment options available to them in the future. But they're not getting any answers, and I think this is a great disservice to women.”  “I see a lot in the clinic, women who have seen all sorts of specialists, have all sorts of treatments, but no one's spoken about their hormones.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Louise Newson's Website Dr. Newson's Instagram Dr. Newson's Podcast Get Dr. Newson's FREE Balance App: Your go-to for Menopause Health  Pre-order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE!  RELATED EPISODES  #647: Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) Isn't Your Mom's HRT + It's One Of The Best Strategies For Longevity with Dr. Amy Killen #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #620: What You Need to Know About Premature Menopause, Perimenopause, HRT and Your Options with Dr. Salome Masghati #605: Breaking the HRT Confusion: The Truth Behind Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopausal Women with Karen Martel

Our dream self is different in many ways from our waking self. They are often much more beleaguered and can behave differently than we imagine that our waking self would. We discuss why this is important, and how we can help them. In this replay show from December, our guest is David Jenkins, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of “Dream RePlay: How to Transform Your Dream Life.” David shares an example of a dream of someone whose car is stuck in the mud and compares working with the image symbolically vs exploring the feelings of the dream self in their situation and giving them empathy and maybe even advice. We also talk about dream themes and how they change and how they parallel waking life themes which evolve as well. After the break we take a call from Jane from Santa Cruz who shares her series of dreams around her deceased mother and how they evolved as she came to terms with the reality of her passing. We then take a question from Max about how lucidity affects our definition of this dream self as different from our waking self. BIO: David Jenkins has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and a masters in developmental psychology. He studied family therapy. Originally from Manchester, U.K., he has lived in California since 1973. Contact me if you’d like to get in touch with David.

The Minds in Motion Podcast from Dementia Researcher in association with the NIHR Applied Research Collaborations and Alzheimer's Society, brings together NIHR Dem Comm Research Fellows, to talk about their research and careers. In this final episode of the current series, Trevor Salomon is joined by Dr Pippa Collins from the University of Southampton to interview Dr Sarah Kate Smith. Sarah is based at The University of Manchester and NIHR ARC Greater Manchester, and is an NIHR and Alzheimer's Society Demm Comm Fellow. Her work focuses on brain health and dementia prevention, particularly examining how physical activity in midlife could reduce the risk of developing dementia later in life. With a background in psychology and a PhD in health services research, Sarah brings expertise in creative and inclusive research methodologies that enable the involvement of people living with dementia and their families. In this conversation, we explore the challenges of dementia prevention research, how risk reduction differs from the idea of outright prevention, and the importance of public and patient involvement in designing ethical and accessible interventions. Sarah also shares insight into an upcoming project exploring access to brain health clinics among minority ethnic groups and reflects on her career journey, motivations, and what keeps her going. - Dem Comm is a 2 year programme funded by the National Institute of Health and Care Research and the Alzheimer's Society. It supports a new generation of dementia research leaders, bringing together researchers from different multidisciplinary backgrounds to encourage cross-cutting and community-orientated dementia research projects that can address key gaps in the evidence around dementia care and support, delivering transformative translational research. -- For information on the Fellowship visit: http://www.arc-wx.nihr.ac.uk/dem-comm-research-fellows For guest biographies, a full transcript and much more visit: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk - Like what you hear?

Carlos Tevez is a player often overlooked when reminiscing about the greatest South Americans to play in the Premier League. But why? When he was at his peak, he devastated defences with trickery, Argentinian toughness, and goals that won his clubs countless trophies. His ex-teammate Wayne Rooney told us that Tevez “was his favourite strike partner”, while Joe Hart described him as “the catalyst who helped change the mentality of Manchester City”. Maybe Tevez is often forgotten because, along with the riches and skills, Tevez had a list of controversies that followed him around wherever he went. Whether it was his refusal to come off the bench in a key Champions League game, moving between rival clubs, or even the issues around who actually owned him, Carlos Tevez's seven year stay in the Premier League was a white knuckle, rollercoaster ride. But despite all that - speak to most fans, and they'll tell you they love him. This episode of Football Daily is hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter, Eugene Noble, and seeks to unravel the controversies of Carlos Tevez's fascinating career, to show just how unique and brilliant a player he was. To understand his rags to riches story, Eugene takes us back to Argentina to see how the man was made. From growing up in a crime filled tower block to being discovered playing on the streets of Buenos Aires, we chart his move from Argentina to London when he stunned everyone to join West Ham. We'll hear from his ex-teammate Bobby Zamora about culture clashes in the dressing room, and how they formed a partnership which led to the great escape. We'll then explore his time at both Manchester clubs, delving into all the controversies, the goals and the trophies along the way, with Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, and many others. The Carlos Tevez story is a thrilling one, offering unique insight, stories and first hand accounts on his career. And Tevez has still got it as well - in June 2025 he scored 4 goals in Soccer Aid at age 41. But do his controversies add to his myth? Or could he have achieved even higher heights if he was a bit better behaved? And is Tevez the most archetypal Argentinian player since Diego Maradona?

Foundations of Salafi Manhaj Neither Extremism nor Neglect - Shaykh Abu Iyaad - About the author of the book - Shaykh Abdussalaam Burjis - The ways and means deviated sects use to spread their innovations, such as secrecy, pretending to be close to some major scholars, having ta'assub etc.. - First principle - to concern oneself with seeking knowledge - Second Foundation - Having eagerness and zeal to apply this knowledge - Third Foundation - Calling to Allah up on knowledge - Fourth Foundation - To be concerned with the Aqeedah of the Salaf in terms of knowledge, action and teaching it. The remaining principles will be covered in Bradford. Recorded at the Islam is Sunnah Conference in Manchester June 2025

Islam Is The Sunnah and The Sunnah Is Islam: One Is Not Established Except With The Other - Shaykh Abu Khadeejah • Virtues of Imām al-Barbahārī and his foundational book Sharḥ al-Sunnah • Emphasis on adhering to Islām and the Sunnah, with a warning against altering the religion — whether by adding to it or taking away from it • Reminder of the importance of unity and recognising Allāh's favour: “And remember Allāh's Favour on you—for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together…” (Surah Āl-ʿImrān 3:103) • The importance of following the Sunnah and not attaching oneself to individuals or scholars, regardless of their status — except the Prophet ﷺ • The understanding of the companions of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ is the only understanding that carries weight and authority in the religion • Ibn Masʿūd (radiyallāhu ʿanhu) said: Follow the Āthār and do not innovate, for indeed you have been sufficed.” • The famous narration of Muḥammad Ibn Sīrīn: They never used to ask about the chain of narration. But when the fitnah occurred, we started to ask: ‘Name us your men.'” A foundational principle highlighting the importance of verifying sources, especially in times of trial and confusion • How the companions resolved disputes — by referring back to the Qur'ān and Sunnah, as stated in the verse: “And if you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allāh and His Messenger, if you believe in Allāh and the Last Day.” (Surah al-Nisā' 4:59 ) • The advice of the Prophet ﷺ regarding times of confusion: To return affairs back to the beginning — to the era and understanding of the companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ

The Jamaa'ah is that which conforms to the truth - Shaykh Uways at-Taweel - The original text of the Hadith - Importance of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil and use the tongue in good. - Evidence from the Qur'an that those upon the truth are small in number - Examples from the prophets such as Nuh and Ibrahim who had few followers - Who are the Jamaa'ah? - Examples from the Salaf - The importance of implementation of the Salafi Dawah - Advice from Imaam ibn Qayyim and Imaam Ibn Baaz Recorded at the Islam is Sunnah Conference at the Salafi Centre of Manchester June 2025

• Started with the virtues of ʿAbdullāh Ibn Masʿūd (رضي الله عنه) • Covered the narration of Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī and Ibn Masʿūd: — “How many people intend good but never reach it” • Highlighted evidence from the Qur'ān and Sunnah showing the completeness of the religion — no need for additions “This day I have perfected for you your religion…” (Sūrah al-Mā'idah 5:3)' • Virtues of the Khulafā' al-Rāshidīn (the four rightly guided caliphs) • Importance of clinging to the understanding of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥīn • Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr on the verse: — “This is My straight path, so follow it” (al-Anʿām 6:153) • Hadith of the 73 sects and its variations and its different chains - Linked with Ibn Masʿūd's narration: “The Jamāʿah is what conforms with the truth, even if you are alone” • Danger of bid'ah (innovation) and how it is more severe than committing major sins - to the exent that the Prophet ﷺ warned against it even before it appeared. • The importance of Tawheed and the precise wording found in the sunnah and the Quran. Example, Surah Maryam ayah 65 "Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him?" • How this verse beautifully encompasses all three categories of Tawḥīd: 1. Tawḥīd al-Rubūbiyyah – “Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them…” 2. Tawḥīd al-Ulūhiyyah – “so worship Him (Alone)…” 3. Tawḥīd al-Asmā' wa'l-Ṣifāt – “Do you know of any who is similar to Him?” (denial of likeness to His names or attributes) • Shaykh ʿAbdullāh Lahmāmī (ḥafiẓahullāh) concluded the lesson by mentioning 20 characteristics that distinguish the people of Sunnah from the groups of misguidance.

What happens when a new hunter heads into the woods of New Hampshire — and finds something waiting for him in the pines? In this gripping and terrifying episode, we speak with Alex, a fisherman-turned-hunter from Manchester, NH, who shares the moment his life changed forever. While hunting in Bear Brook State Park, Alex encountered what he first thought was a demon — glowing eyes, a massive sprinting figure, and something intelligent that moved through the trees just 30 feet away. He shares his firsthand experience, the fear that kept him out of the woods for over a year, and why he finally went back. You'll hear stories of wood knocks, distant whistles, and footsteps so heavy they shook the ground. This is more than a sighting — it's a face-to-face moment with something that may not be entirely of this world. If you've ever hunted in New England, this is one episode you won't forget.

This week on Sober Stories from Everyday People, we're joined by Becs from Manchester, who is 205 days sober at the time of recording.At just 25 years old, Becs has been on a journey with sobriety that began with sober curiosity as early as age 19. Now, with over six months alcohol-free under her belt, she shares her refreshingly honest take on what it's like navigating sobriety as a young adult in a culture that often glorifies drinking.Growing up in the 90s and 00s and later entering the fashion industry, Becs found herself caught in the cycle of binge drinking—something that intensified during her university years. But today, she's found new purpose and focus: renovating her first home, which she recently bought. With a very supportive partner and a toolkit of healthy habits, Becs is building a life that aligns with who she truly wants to be.This episode is full of inspiration—especially for younger listeners who might be wondering what life without alcohol can actually look like. We talk about everything from mental health and journaling, to making yourself accountable, weighing the real cost of drinking, and why keeping busy can be one of the best tools for staying on track.You can follow Becs on Instagram at @becselizt to keep up with her sobriety journey, renovations, and life in progress.Helpful links: Get help from me directly by visiting www.sassysobermum.com Visit THRIVE Sober Coaching for sobriety guidance & resources here www.thrivesobercoaching.com Get access to my new online sobriety self-paced course here https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1930842/checkout/order_jmr0kg9w(use coupon code HALFPRICE) Join my super friendly and safe online women's sober community here: https://thrive-af-community.circle.so/checkout/thrive-subscription Email sassysobermum at thrive@sassysobermum.com Alcohol Change UKWebsite: https://www.alcoholchange.org.ukHelpline: 0800 917 8282 (Available Monday to Friday 9 AM - 8 PM)Mind (Mental Health Support)Website: https://www.mind.org.ukHelpline: 0300 123 3393NHS Alcohol Support ServicesWebsite: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/alcohol-misuse

In this episode of the Myofascial Magic In Action Podcast, co-founders Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley discuss a recent workshop in Manchester and the keys participants went home with - secrets they don't often share! They delve into the foundational principles of myofascial magic, and explore the disconnect between traditional fitness regimens that don't honour real, practical human movement... Paul shares insights from his workshop, stressing the importance of understanding the human body as a fluid, integrated system rather than focusing solely on muscle-based exercises and out of date regimes. They share how to adapt training methods to individual needs - how to enhance dexterity and vitality and not inadvertently damage or diminish it. How to work with scar tissue and prevent over-training syndromes. What nuanced differences can you add in, whether you work with elite athletes or everyday individuals? How can you incorporate these simple refinements to your movement practice? Tune in to find out!

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. More Command line fun: downloading a podcast In the show hpr4398 :: Command line fun: downloading a podcast Kevie walked us through a command to download a podcast. He used some techniques here that I hadn't used before, and it's always great to see how other people approach the problem. Let's have a look at the script and walk through what it does, then we'll have a look at some "traps for young players" as the EEVBlog is fond of saying. Analysis of the Script wget `curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ | grep -o 'https*://[^"]*ogg' | head -1` It chains four different commands together to "Save the latest file from a feed". Let's break it down so we can have checkpoints between each step. I often do this when writing a complex one liner - first do it as steps, and then combine it. The curl command gets https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ . To do this ourselves we will call curl https://tuxjam.otherside.network/feed/podcast/ --output tuxjam.xml , as the default file name is index.html. This gives us a xml file, and we can confirm it's valid xml with the xmllint command. $ xmllint --format tuxjam.xml >/dev/null $ echo $? 0 Here the output of the command is ignored by redirecting it to /dev/null Then we check the error code the last command had. As it's 0 it completed sucessfully. Kevie then passes the output to the grep search command with the option -o and then looks for any string starting with https followed by anything then followed by two forward slashes, then -o, --only-matching Print only the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with each such part on a separate output line We can do the same with. I was not aware that grep defaulted to regex, as I tend to add the --perl-regexp to explicitly add it. grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml http matches the characters http literally (case sensitive) s* matches the character s literally (case sensitive) Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] : matches the character : literally / matches the character / literally / matches the character / literally [^"]* match a single character not present in the list below Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy] " a single character in the list " literally (case sensitive) ogg matches the characters ogg literally (case sensitive) When we run this ourselves we get the following $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-120/TuxJam_120.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-119/TuxJam_119.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_118/tuxjam_118.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-117-uncut/TuxJam_117.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_116/tuxjam_116.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg The last command returns the first line, so therefore https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg Finally that line is used as the input to the wget command. Problems with the approach Relying on grep with structured data like xml or json can lead to problems. When we looked at the output of the command in step 2, some of the results gave https://ogg . When run the same command without the --only-matching argument we see what was matched. $ grep 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam.xml This episode may not be live as in TuxJam 115 from Oggcamp but your friendly foursome of Al, Dave (thelovebug), Kevie and Andrew (mcnalu) are very much alive to treats of Free and Open Source Software and Creative Commons tunes. https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/ https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respond https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/feed/ With the group meeting up together for the first time in person, it was decided that a live recording would be an appropriate venture. With the quartet squashed around a table and a group of adoring fans crowded into a room at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester, the discussion turns to TuxJam reviews that become regularly used applications, what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 and for the third section the gang put their reputation on the line and allow open questions from the sea of dedicated fans. OggCamp 2024 on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October 2024, Manchester UK. Two of the hits are not enclosures at all, they are references in the text to OggCamp what we enjoyed about OggCamp 2024 Normally running grep will only get one entry per line, and if the xml is minimised it can miss entries on a file that comes across as one big line. I did this myself using xmllint --noblanks tuxjam.xml > tuxjam-min.xml I then edited it and replaced the new lines with spaces. I have to say that the --only-matching argument is doing a great job at pulling out the matches. That said the results were not perfect either. $ grep --only-matching 'https*://[^"]*ogg' tuxjam-min.xml https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-121/tuxjam_121.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam-120/TuxJam_120.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-119/TuxJam_119.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_118/tuxjam_118.ogg https://archive.org/download/tux-jam-117-uncut/TuxJam_117.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_116/tuxjam_116.ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://tuxjam.otherside.network/?p=1029https://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-oggcamp-2024/#respondhttps://tuxjam.otherside.network/tuxjam-115-ogg https://ogg http://tuxjam.otherside.network/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/10/tuxjam_115_OggCamp2024.ogg https://ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_114/tuxjam_114.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_113/tuxjam_113.ogg https://archive.org/download/tuxjam_112/tuxjam_112.ogg You could fix it by modifying the grep arguments and add additional searches looking for enclosure . The problem with that approach is that you'll forever and a day be chasing issues when someone changes something. So the approach is officially "Grand", but it's a very likely to break if you're not babysitting it. Suggested Applications. I recommend never parsing structured documents , like xml or json with grep. You should use dedicated parsers that understands the document markup, and can intelligently address parts of it. I recommend: xml use xmlstarlet json use jq yaml use yq Of course anyone that looks at my code on the hpr gittea will know this is a case of "do what I say, not what I do." Never parse xml with grep, where the only possible exception is to see if a string is in a file in the first place. grep --max-count=1 --files-with-matches That's justified under the fact that grep is going to be faster than having to parse, and build a XML Document Object Model when you don't have to. Some Tips Always refer to examples and specification A specification is just a set of rules that tell you how the document is formatted. There is a danger in just looking at example files, and not reading the specifications. I had a situation once where a software developer raised a bug as the files didn't begin with ken-test- followed by a uuid . They were surprised when the supplied files did not follow this convention as per the examples. Suffice to say that was rejected. For us there are the rules from the RSS specification itself, but as it's a XML file there are XML Specifications . While the RSS spec is short, the XML is not, so people tend to use dedicated libraries to parse XML. Using a dedicated tool like xmlstarlet will allow us to mostly ignore the details of XML. RSS is a dialect of XML . All RSS files must conform to the XML 1.0 specification, as published on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website. The first line of the tuxjam feed shows it's an XML file. The specification goes on to say "At the top level, a RSS document is a element, with a mandatory attribute called version, that specifies the version of RSS that the document conforms to. If it conforms to this specification, the version attribute must be 2.0." And sure enough then the second line show that it's a RSS file.

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news, and in life. This week:We debunk a false claim that the hotel bill for immigrants is the size of the tax bill for Manchester.An article in the Spectator claimed that 4% of women aged between 18 and 34 in the UK are OnlyFans creators.

Hello Rank Squad!Today we're diving back into the murky depths of the transfer market, and looking at some of the potential deals that are being discussed right now. It's a seller's market, in so many ways, and that often means that teams will overpay for players - whether through a gamble on a major talent, a burning need to fill a gap, or because they're absolutely hellbent on trying to turn things around after a tough season the year before. We look at five deals that feel like they might be a big step, with Dean suggesting them, and Jack generally arguing about why it's actually a pretty good bit of business - for a variety of different price tags and reasonings. Before that, we get stuck into the Club World Cup, hear about Dean's experiences on the ground and Jack's ones watching from across the Atlantic, and try to work out what we can learn from the tournament a year out from the 2026 World Cup.It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

What if your growth path wasn't adding more clients, but working fewer, higher-quality roles with people who genuinely value your service? Allicia Birch, founder of 4tify Recruitment, built a six-figure recruitment firm in her first year — without cold calls, without compromising on fees, and without chasing every job. Her success came down to discipline: working to a structured 12-hour day in 15-minute blocks, building a reputation-based BD strategy, and walking away from bad-fit clients. You'll hear how she transformed underperformance into consistent high billings, created multi-division revenue from single clients, and productised her approach to business development — including how she sells high-ticket projects, runs invite-only roundtables, and uses market intelligence to position herself as a trusted partner, not just a vendor. 4tify is based in Manchester and specializes in construction industry recruitment. After 8 years in the industry, Allicia has become a leading voice in the residential new build market.
