Join Melanie in exploring this part of the story as the people listen to God’s Word and recognize the gravity of their sin.

Mel B visits Google to discuss her career journey, her memoir “Brutally Honest”, and her experiences as a person of mixed heritage. Melanie Brown is one-fifth of the most successful girl band on Earth, the Spice Girls. As ‘Scary Spice', she became one of the most recognisable women in the world. She went on to carve out a global career as a television entertainer, theater performer, and movie actress. Since the Spice Girls split in 2000, Melanie went on to carve a new career as a host of television shows. Consistently voted ‘most popular' judge on shows from America's Got Talent to The X Factor UK, she embraced a whole new generation to become one of the most recognised faces on television. She has appeared in London's West End and on Broadway in Rent and most recently as Roxie Hart in Chicago, winning massive acclaim from audiences. Mel B was awarded an MBE by the Queen for her services to survivors of domestic abuse. Visit http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/ to watch the video.
Documentary on Newstalk presents a new documentary by independent producer Bairbre Flood. "Jewish Ireland" is an exploration of Jewish Irish history and culture - from Deli 613, to the Irish Jewish Museum: historians, musicians and Jewish groups and individuals share different aspects of modern Jewish culture in Ireland. Edwin Alkin talks us through the various artefacts, photographs and exhibitions at the Irish Jewish Museum in Dublin, and explains some of the history of Jewish people in Ireland. Dr. Melanie Brown tells us what she learnt from her involvement with the Jewish Oral History Project and the Inter-Faith Council - and what it means to her to be Irish and Jewish. Rabbi Zalman Lent and Rifky Lent at Deli 613 - the first kosher deli in Dublin in fifty years - share Jewish food and explain why they set up and how they've been received by the community. And then we head to Cork to meet klezmer composer Ruti Lachs, of the Cork Jewish Community and we'll get her take on being one of the ‘new Irish' Jews who've made Ireland their home. ‘Jews have been here since the time of the Normans. Jews are not strangers here, but they remain to be othered in a lot of ways. And that, to me, is very interesting. Why, after a thousand years, why is there still this othering?' - Dr. Melanie Brown. Produced by Bairbre Flood and funded by Coimisiun na Mean under the Sound and Vision Scheme.

What's all the fighting about? James asked that question, and you'd think he was writing in today's culture! Everywhere you turn, tension is high, patience is low, and criticism prevails. But James wasn't talking to “the world”—he's addressing Christians, people like you and me, why can't we get along? It's a heart issue. What is competing for a place in our heart that only the Lord should occupy? In this episode, Melanie reminds us that salvation is an instant work, but inner change is a lifelong pursuit. What are we pursuing, who is holding the reins of our heart? Becoming more like Jesus must be our goal to the very last breath we take on this earth. -- To join a Harvest women's small group, go to virtue.harvest.org/studies Learn more about Virtue women's ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship by going to virtue.harvest.org/about/.Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's ‘90s Beauty Moment is all about the power – the so-called Girl Power – of the Spice Girls, five women, chosen from hundreds to take on the boy bands of the mid-90s. In this episode I break down the looks that the world would go on to expect from Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisolm and Victoria Beckham (formerly Victoria Adams.) I also explain the super simple reason that we would go on to refer to these adult women as Baby, Ginger, Scary, Sporty and Posh for the rest of their lives.

For this episode, we discuss the unique way that the Spice Girls were marketed and all of the endorsement/brand deals that they did. Shoutout to Pepsi! Of course, we can't talk about “Spiceworld” without briefly discussing the cinematic classic “Spice World”. We then discuss our favorite music videos, live performances and go through all the Spice-y receipts. And finally, we bring the Spice Bus home by ending on a very important question: Did Geri cement the Spice Girls' pop culture legacy by leaving the way that she did?Album Info: Spiceworld is the second studio album by English girl group the Spice Girls, released on 1 November 1997 by Virgin Records.

The Mekong Delta is home to 17 million people and is Vietnam's most productive agricultural region. An international group of scientists warn this week that almost all of the low lying delta will have sunk beneath the sea within 80 years without international action. Its disappearance is the result of both sea level rise and developments such as dams and sand mining, as Matt Kondolf of the University of California, Berkeley explains to Roland Pease. Also in the programme: Seismologist Laura Emert on using the rumbling of traffic in Mexico City to monitor earthquake hazards. Mars-shaking Marsquakes – recent record-breaking quakes on Mars explained by seismologist Anna Horleston of Bristol University. A record-breaking high jumping robot designed by mechanical engineer and roboticist Elliot Hawkes which is so light it can access any terrain, perhaps even the moon. And gene editing…. Humans now have the ability to directly change their DNA and gene-editing tool CRISPR has led to a new era in gene-editing. CrowdScience listener ‘Bones' wants to know how gene-editing is currently being used and what might be possible in the future. Gene-editing offers huge opportunities for the prevention and treatment of human diseases, and trials are currently underway in a wide range of diseases like sickle cell anaemia. CrowdScience presenter Caroline Steel finds out about some of the most promising work tackling disease before turning to consider the possibilities of using gene editing for non-medical changes. Will we be able to extend human longevity, swap our eye colour or enhance athletic performance? And even if we can do all these things, should we? As scientists push the boundaries of gene-editing and some people are DIY experimenting on themselves with CRISPR, we discuss the practical and ethical challenges facing this promising but potentially perilous area of science.

The ancient Maya flourished in modern day Mexico and Central America for millennia. They built incredible cities and they had sophisticated knowledge of astronomy, architecture and the natural world. But although Maya culture continues to exist today, around 900 AD, many of their great settlements collapsed, and today they lie in ruins. CrowdScience listener Michael wants to know - how did the Maya sustain their populations successfully for so long? And what happened 1000 years ago that led them to abandon their cities? To find out, presenter Melanie Brown travels to the forests of Western Belize. She visits the archaeological site of Xunantunich to learn about what life would have been like for the Maya living in what was once a prosperous city. She hears about the importance of water to the Maya way of life in this region, and their ingenious methods for capturing and storing rainfall. She meets archaeologists using lasers and drones to map Maya settlements that have lain hidden by jungle for centuries. And she discovers what material from the bottom of lakes can tell us about how the Maya faced a changing climate, which may have had huge consequences for their society. This episode is being released on Earth Day 2022. As we face an uncertain future of our own amid a climate crisis, are there any lessons we can learn from the Maya about how to live sustainably on this planet? Presented by Melanie Brown and produced by Anand Jagatia Featuring: Elias Cambranes, Maya expert and tour guide Prof Lisa Lucero, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Prof Tim Murtha, University of Florida Dr Eben Broadbent, University of Florida Prof Mark Brenner, University of Florida Photo: Ancient ruins of the Mayas deep in the forest of Belize Credit: Simon Dannhauer/Getty Images
Wherever you are in the world you are probably near an animal that has undertaken a remarkable migratory journey, be that a butterfly, bird or sea turtle. But what CrowdScience listener Moses in Kenya wants to know is why they bother making such long and precarious voyages - and how they're able to reliably navigate over hundreds and sometimes even thousands of miles. In this first of two episodes, presenter Anand Jagatia travels to the Americas to meet the scientists finding and tracking these animals in order to solve the puzzle of where they go and why. Deep in the lush and noisy Belizean jungle, Anand joins avian biologist Abidas who is collecting data on the beautiful birds that visit tropical forests to escape harsh winters. Here, using misting nets, Abidas and her team carefully catch birds to measure their health and status before tagging and releasing them so they can continue stocking up on jungle food. Anand finds out why having long term data on migrant birds can help in understanding why some birds, like the wood thrush, have been declining in their native homes further north. Anand then jumps aboard a turtle boat in Florida where scientists from the Sea Turtle Conservancy have been collecting data on these dinosaur-like creatures. But finding them is harder it might seem. They move fast, so Anand accompanies the research team who are experienced in safely catching them, will he be lucky and find one of these magnificent creatures?
