A new shelter in Cobourg just opened before new year, but not without controversies. The Transition House offers 35 emergency shelter spaces, a significant upgrade from the previous location. But the excitement is clouded by a by-law enacted last year that puts conditions on shelters and transitional housing. To get a better perspective on the situation, we spoke to Ike Nwibe about it. He is the Executive Director of the Transition House Coalition of Northumberland.Hundreds of pets across the province were adopted over the holiday season through the Ontario SPCA's iAdopt for the holidays campaign. We spoke to community outreach coordinator Natalie Harris about how the campaign worked! She is based out of Orillia.

Nick and Kristin learn about Natalie's job and Kristin gets a little shake up.

Imagine getting your kids off to school, unpacking all the cooking equipment you need to make your next product batch, cooking all day, then packing it all away before the kids get home. It's an exhausting cycle that can limit the ability for a normal home life, and prevent you from putting more money in your pocket due to not being able to scale.Natalie Harris, the co-founder of Danny Balboa's Sauce Co, an award-winning hot sauce and spice rub brand, was experiencing this daily. Natalie and her partner Dan knew they had to scale and move the ‘work' away from their home, but they couldn't find a suitable cooking facility, had limited resources and knew they couldn't risk their financial stability to do so.So they built their own – drawing on their own savviness and their community to help bootstrap it.They've taken their home-based business to a commercial space that works for them, enabling them to increase production, lower their production costs AND have a normal home life that is separate from their business.And did I mention they are both neurodivergent and are helping others with neurodiversity find sustainable, flexible employment that works for them?In this episode, you'll hear Natalie and Dan's incredible journey, filled with hurdles, triumphs, and a whole lot of heart. Her story reminds us that limited resources don't need to put a halt on your business growth, and that differences are not barriers but unique strengths.We cover: 

More than 23k youth age out of the foster care system each year. Many of these young people, because of the trauma and  instability, end up at higher risk of addiction, homelessness, financial instability and worse.  One man whose own past parallels those he seeks to serve, has been working to change this seemingly hopeless cycle through founding a coffee business that serves these youth and gives them a better chance for a brighter future.  Miah Sommer is a social entrepreneur and the founder and Executive Director of Astute Coffee (formerly The Bike Union), a non-profit coffee shop that provides workforce development and life skills to youth who have been impacted by the foster care. Sommer is the past recipient of the Donna Tubach Davis Children's Advocate Award from Child Saving institute. He was also a speaker with TEDxOmaha, and has taught a workshop at Homeboy Industries' Global Homeboy Network in Los Angeles, CA. The Bike Union is a winner of the Excellence in Innovation through the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. Sommer Lives in Omaha with his wife Katie and their sons Henry and Charlie. Today we will be getting deep into the story of Astute Coffee, the stories of the people in it, and how it has evolved and made a real difference. An astute observer will see , that hospitality is about empathy, seeing in others a sameness and using this perspective to serve their needs with every cup we make.  I hope this episode inspires you to reach out, pay attention, and soften your heart to all the humans we serve and serve with.  (-This episode has potentially sensitive content -) Links: www.astutecoffee.org IG: @ASTUTE_COFFEE    Related episodes: 180 : A Conversation with Rugid Grind Founders, Brian Washington and Averett Barksdale 192 : Freedom through Coffee w/ Esther Hope-Gibbs of Manumit Coffee 262 : Understanding the Homeless Community w/ Natalie Harris, Executive Director of The Coalition for the Homeless 106 : Changing Lives Through Coffee w/ Pamela Chng of Bettr Barista Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.groundcontrol.coffee www.pacficfoodservice.com    

The UK events industry accounts for 35% of the UK visitor economy and is estimated to be worth £42 billion, yet it is still incredibly wasteful, with 68% of waste going directly to landfill. Haymarket Media Group is a global media data and information company, who offer a wide range of digital print, tech and live event services. Haymarket UK had been certified to ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 50001 (Energy Management) for a few years prior to 2019, covering most aspects of their business from a sustainability point of view. However, their live events still had many sustainability opportunities that were not being taken into consideration by their existing certifications. So, in early 2022 they embarked on their journey to gain ISO 20121 (Sustainable Event Management) certification.  Today, Gary Charlton and Natalie Harris from Haymarket join Mel to discuss exactly why they added ISO 20121 to their portfolio, the challenges faced with Implementing the Standard, and the benefits gained from certification. You'll learn ●      Who are Haymarket? ●      What is ISO 20121 Sustainable Event Management? ●      Why did Haymarket choose to Implement ISO 20121? ●      What challenges did they face? ●      What are the benefits of ISO 20121?   Resources ●      Haymarket Media ●      ISO 20121 ●      isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [00:50] An Introduction to Haymarket Media Group - A global media data and information company, with offices in the UK, US, Germany, India and Asia. They produce live events (including award ceremonies, conferences and exhibitions), digital print, education data and tech services. [02:25] Gary Charlton is the Head of Procurement for the UK -  Part of his role includes supporting the Haymarket approach towards sustainability, to ensure their products and services are as environmentally and socially sustainable as possible. [02:45] Natalie Harris is the Procurement Executive at Haymarket – A lot of her role revolves around live events in addition to purchasing our products and services. Additionally, she advises the wider team on buying legally, sustainably and ethically. Both Natalie and Gary form a team, and were the main driving force behind the creation of their Sustainable Event Management System. [03:40] What is ISO 20121?: ISO 20121 was launched for, and named after, the 2012 Olympics, making it the worlds first sustainable Olympics!  The Standard provides a framework for managing events sustainably, that includes having the policies, procedures, registers and records to demonstrate that the events are being run in a sustainable manner. Being certified indicates that a company is not just paying lip service to sustainability, it's actually practicing what they preach. If you'd like to learn more about ISO 20121, go back and listen to episode 38. [05:30] What was the main driver behind Haymarket achieving ISO 20121?: Haymarket first contacted Blackmores about assisting with ISO 20121 Implementation in 2019. At the time, they were already certified to ISO 14001 and ISO 50001, so they understood the benefits that came with ISO certifications - including the framework to start making better decisions and accurately measure what you're doing. Their head of facilities had started the process of evaluating other areas they could improve with ISO Standards, particularly around sustainability. Live events are a large service offering for Haymarket, which has a significant environmental footprint, so a case was put forward for the benefits if reducing that impact with the help of ISO 20121. The team running their live events were very positive about the potential benefits presented, and the go ahead was given. [07:20] Sustainability is central to how Haymarket wants to operate – Implementing ISO 20121 would ensure that there was more standardisation across their processes. This would introduce some uniformity that could apply to all types of events, which was very important to the Live event lead - Donna Murphy. Natalie was in the right place at the right time, already in the position of working in collaboration with Haymarket's Live events team on sustainable procurement, ensuring that due diligence was followed with suppliers and their accreditations. So, it was a no-brainer getting her on board with the ISO 20121 project! [09:30] How long did it take to implement ISO 20121?:  Haymarket engaged in Blackmores services in February 2022 and were accredited by July 2023. In total, it took 18 months for the planning, creation and development ahead of the assessment. They ensured the system was refined to ensure it worked efficiently, encouraging continual improvement and a harmonious approach for the whole business. [11:15] Above and beyond: Haymarket received a lot of praise from their Assessor – highlighting their thoroughness, including the involvement of top management and many others within the organisation in the creation of the Management System. Also for ensuring that the system would be applicable for the 4 main types of events that Haymarket runs. [12:00] ISO 20121 requires an audit to be conducted during a live event – So Haymarket had a lot to consider when selecting the event to be audited.   [13:30] Haymarket's key insights on Implementing ISO 20121: #1: The Gap Analysis was an integral part of the process – by highlighting the gaps you can clearly see where improvements can be made. While they may have been a bit crestfallen and daunted by the gaps presented, they came out if knowing they already had around 27% of a Sustainable Event Management system already in place – partly due to their existing certifications.  This soon bumped up to 59% at the half-way checkpoint! This assured them that ISO 20121 was within reach, and simply required at bit of time and effort to achieve. #2 Having leadership involvement and backing – They were quick to involve their live event lead, Donna Murphy, in key decision making and with the roll-out of the Management System. She was instrumental in ensuring the Standard was in place and being followed. [18:45] What were some of the gap identified and how did Haymarket bridge them?  Required documentation – Many ISO standards have required documentation. A lot of times companies do have a lot of it place, but it's simply just not formalised. Natalie highlights that this was the case with a Risk Register. It's not a universal company need to have, but as part of the Procurement Team it's simply a part of who they are and what they do. For live events, they need to do the appropriate health and safety checks, but it wasn't formalised in any way. Thankfully their facilities and environment specialist, who assisted with the existing ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certifications, was on hand to help with the creation of risk procedures based on procedures from the existing Management System. With this collaborative approach, using elements from the exiting Management System, they created 31 brand new documents consisting of Procedures, Registers, Log and Records that are continuously used, monitored and updated. This new documentation, while a lot of work to create, ultimately helps Haymarket track, measure and set parameter's for continuous Improvement. It ensured they have a really visual system, with a clear view of what needs to be done to run sustainable events.  [23:00] What difference has Implementing ISO 20121 made?: There was a big amount of short-time work for a long term gain. It's not simply a stack of useless documents sitting in a corner, it's a living, breathing system that is injected into the business. The Management system is of benefit to everyone, including those new to Haymarket's team as it provides a structured and standardised approach to sustainable event delivery. It's provided knowledge and helped to develop new skills that will stick with all those that interact with the Management system, whether they stay with Haymarket or move elsewhere. Ultimately, it's all about ensuring they are doing the right thing for the planet. By creating more sustainable events, they are reducing their impact as a whole. [26:00] What is the main achievement from being certified to ISO 20121?: Morale and confidence that they can say they really do practice what they preach. They could hold a mirror up and say, right, we've created this system and we're confident in it – with internal audits conducted by third-parities to confirm they're on the right track with their intended goals. Certification is not the end goal. You have annual Surveillance Audits to check-in, so the system must be a long-term feature in your business, and it must drive continual improvement. [27:50] What top tip would Gary and Natalie give for ISO 20121 Implementation? Gary: Make sure you're resolute in your reasoning for Implementing the standard and the implications of doing so. Also, enlist the help of someone with Implementation experience! Natalie: Don't underestimate the amount of work required. Select someone in-house to manage the project and when / if you can, use external resources such as a consultant to assist. They can also provide unbias, reflective feedback to ensure you're on the right track. [30:10] What's a favorite quote? “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it” – Robert Swan If you'd like to learn more about Haymarket check out their website!

I witnessed a heartbreaking scene unfold while at SCA EXPO in Boston. The situation was a common one in most of our cafes but in this context it really impacted me and inspired this Shift Break.  What are we doing in specialty? Is our talk about accessibility just talk? Are the best expressions of coffee the most exclusive? Lot's of questions rolling around the ol' noggin after this trip and today I wanted to chat about it with you.  As you listen, ask yourself what you would do in this scenario and how we as an industry might be able to do better in welcoming a larger variety of people into our spaces while we simultaneously pursue excellence.    Related episodes:  262 : Understanding the Homeless Community w/ Natalie Harris, Executive Director of The Coalition for the Homeless 338: A Conversation w/ Martell Mason of The Sepia Coffee Project, Detroit, Michigan 337: Founder Friday w/ Diana Martinez of Cafe Calle, Los Angeles Building an Accessible Coffee Menu w/ Joe    Visit our Sponsors!!!

Working in customer a customer facing environment like a coffee shop means that we get to serve and experience all different types of people in the course fo the day. While so many of our interaction are within the expected range of emotions, there are times where things get pretty tense and situations escalate past where we are comfortable.  What do we do when confronted with these circumstances? Are we prepared for and confident in deescalation? Sadly we often fail in this area which means bad situations often get worse leaving staff and customers feeling demoralized and without much hope for resolution.  This is a really important topic and To help us learn how to approach deescalation and make it a real process in our shops we are talking to Melissa Tucker or Mind Over Matters and Pathways to Peace.  Melissa graduated with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from University of Hawaii Hilo, in August 2015. She worked for five years, in Hawaii, as a crisis mobile responder for youth, as a counselor at the domestic violence shelter, as a counselor for a private outpatient substance abuse clinic, and as the clinical supervisor providing training, counseling, parent education and services to staff and Child Welfare Services mandated clients. After moving to Washington State in 2019, she began providing private coaching and training in Motivational Interviewing, supervision, and counseling skills. She also worked for Crisis Connections as a supervisor and trainer for counselors and non-clinicians in Mental Health related skills. She currently works as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in private practice in addition to doing private training.   In today's conversation we cover: What leads to poorly handled conflict The unique context of the coffee shop Caring for staff needs and safety  Listening and understanding The right mindset and cultlure Inoculating baristas against conflict Making policy a conversation Modeling behavior Principles and techniques of deescalation Links: https://www.mindovermattersinstitute.com EMAIL: info@pathpeace.org   Related episodes: 125 : Confidence in Conflict w/ Kwame Christian : A framework for Compassionate Curiosity 262 : Understanding the Homeless Community w/ Natalie Harris, Executive Director of The Coalition for the Homeless 052 : Solving Coworker Conflict w/ Tom Henschel 165 : The Art of Deep Listening w/ Oscar Trimboli 104 : How to Deliver Difficult Feedback w/ Tom Henschel 330 : Establishing Systems in Your Coffee Shop   Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.prima-coffee.com/keys www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com

This month on Episode 32 of Discover CircRes, host Cynthia St. Hilaire highlights four original research articles featured in the January 7 and January 21 issues of Circulation Research. This episode also features a conversation with Ms Natalie Harris and Dr Kathleen Caron from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill about their study, VE-Cadherin Is Required for Cardiac Lymphatic Maintenance and Signaling.   Article highlights:   Carlson, et al. AKAP18δ Controls CaMKIIδ Activity   Gan, et al. sEV and Adipocyte ER Stress Following MI/R   Khan, et al. Long-term Risk Prediction of Heart Failure   Awan, et al. Wnt5a Is Essential for Cholesterol Homeostasis   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Hi, and welcome to Discover CircRes, the podcast of the American Heart Association's journal Circulation Research. I'm your host, Dr Cindy St. Hilaire from the Vascular Medicine Institute at the University of Pittsburgh. Today, I'm going to be highlighting the articles from our January issues of Circulation Research. I'm also going to speak with Ms Natalie Harris and Dr Kathleen Caron from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill about their study, VE-Cadherin Is Required for Cardiac Lymphatic Maintenance and Signaling.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        The first article I want to share is titled AKAP18δ Anchors and Regulates CaMKII Activity at Phospholamban-SERCA2 and Ryanodine Receptors. The first and corresponding author for this article is Cathrine Carlson, and the study was conducted at University of Ohio. In cardiac muscle cells, calcium is continuously released and taken up by the sarcoplasmic reticulum to drive alternating contractions and relaxations. The kinase, CaMKII, regulates this calcium signaling via phosphorylation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins ryanodine receptors also called RYR.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         These receptors promote calcium release, and phospholamban promotes calcium uptake via the transporter SERCA, but how CaMKII localizes to and associates with these sarcoplasmic reticulum factors was unclear. Because AKAP18 delta enables phosphorylation of phospholamban and calcium uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, this group suspected it might be involved. The team's immuno precipitation and functional experiments in rodent cardiomyocytes show that AKAP18 delta associates with CaMKII and phospholamban SERCA2 as well as with CaMKII and ryanodine receptors, and that these interactions are linked to CaMKII activity.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         The team identified two separate CaMKII binding domains within the AKAP18 delta protein, one that inhibits the kinase and one that actuates it, suggesting they may somehow serve to fine tune CaMKII activity. While such regulatory details remain to be resolved, the isolated domains may be utilized as tools for studying calcium handling in cardiomyocytes, and for developing therapeutic CaMKII regulating reagents for treating arrhythmia.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         The second article I want to share is titled Ischemic Heart-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Impair Adipocyte Function. The first author is Lu Gan, and the corresponding authors are Yajing Wang and Yu Cao from Thomas Jefferson University. While diabetes and obesity increase a person's risk of myocardial infarction, suffering a myocardial infarction itself can lead to metabolic dysfunction. One of the main regulators of systemic metabolic homeostasis is the body's adipose tissue, but whether and how an injured heart communicates with adipocytes was unclear.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         The infarcted heart is known to release microRNA containing extracellular vesicles, also called EVs, and so this group hypothesized that these EVs might constitute a heart-to-fat communication system. They isolated circulating EVs before and after myocardial infarction in mice, and incubated these vesicles with cultured adipocytes. After 24 hours, differences in adipocyte gene and protein expression were apparent. Notably, a key cardioprotective metabolic factor called adiponectin was downregulated in cells treated with the extracellular vesicles from myocardial infarcted mice, while genes involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress were increased.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         Analysis of the myocardial infarction extracellular vesicle content showed an increased abundance of specific microRNAs, and the team went on to show that inhibiting production of these microRNAs or the EVs themselves, prevented adipocyte ER stress and adiponectin production in mice after myocardial infarction. Together, these data hints that such microRNA inhibition may be a clinical strategy that can be used to prevent infarction-associated metabolic dysfunction in humans.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         The next article I want to share is titled Development and Validation of A Long-Term Incident Heart Failure Risk Model. The first and corresponding author of this study is Sadiya Khan from Northwestern University. Heart failure contributes to approximately 1.2 million hospitalizations, and 300,000 deaths in the U.S. annually. Heart failure also has an estimated healthcare cost of over $10 billion. With both the incident rates and costs expected to rise in the future, a method for predicting an individual's heart failure risk would enable preventative interventions such as diet and blood pressure treatments to be initiated early, thus prolonging the number of healthy years.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         To develop such a prediction tool, this group studied decades of health data from over 24,000 individuals that was collected as part of five separate, long-running national heart, lung and blood institute studies. The individuals included in the model for development were at baseline aged between 20 and 59 years old, and had no cardiovascular disease diagnosis at that time. Analysis of their body mass indices, blood pressures, total cholesterol levels, high density lipoprotein levels, smoking statuses, diabetes diagnoses, and other cardiovascular health data over several decades enabled the team to develop an equation for predicting an individual's likelihood of developing heart failure in the next 30 years. The hope is such personalized risk assessments will help to guide patient-doctor discussions regarding cardiovascular health, lifestyle choices and medical interventions.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        The last article I want to share is titled Wnt5a Promotes Lysosomal Cholesterol Egress and Protects Against Atherosclerosis. The first authors are Sarah Awan and Magalie Lambert, and the corresponding author is Philippe Boucher from the University of Strasbourg. The Wnt family of signaling proteins drives many developmental processes, such as cell fate determination, proliferation and migration. Recently, Wnt signaling has been implicated in lipid homeostasis. Mutations that impair Wnt signaling have been shown to cause hyperlipidemia in mice, and in humans, decreased Wnt signaling activity inversely correlates with atherosclerosis severity.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Because the protein Wnt5a in particular has been shown to inhibit cholesterol accumulation in cells, this group investigated the role of Wnt5a protein in mice and human cells. Mice whose vascular smooth muscle cells lacked Wnt5a developed more severe atherosclerosis compared to control animals, and human smooth muscle cells lacking Wnt5a accumulated far greater amounts of cholesterol in the lysosomes than did cells with normal levels of Wnt5a. The group then showed that Wnt5a normally associates with lysosomes, where it promotes the catabolism of lysosomal cholesterol via activating lysosomal lipase, and promoting cholesterol egress via the endoplasmic reticulum. In revealing how cholesterol efflux is trafficked by Wnt5a, these findings may help to inform future cholesterol regulating therapies.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         Today, Natalie Harris and Dr Kathleen Caron from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill are here with me to discuss their study, VE-Cadherin Is Required for Cardiac Lymphatic Maintenance and Signaling, which is featured in our January 7th issue of Circulation Research. Thank you both for joining me today.   Kathleen Caron:          Thanks, Cindy, for having us. We're really honored and excited to talk with you.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         I'm excited too, because I think this is my first lymphatic paper I'm talking about. That's where I'm going to start my questions. Your study is investigating cardiac lymphatics. But like I said, I haven't talked a lot about lymphatics here, so I was wondering if you could at least give a little bit of background about what the role is of the lymphatic system, especially because I feel like it's the unappreciated member of the circulation, and also give us a little bit of background on what cardiac lymphatics are.   Kathleen Caron:          That's a really great question. We sometimes talk about lymphatic vessels as the third vascular system or the understudied vascular system. I'm hoping that that's not the case so much anymore, because the lymphatic field has really boomed in the past 15 years or so. I think where we are right now in the field is in early days, we and others had discovered key signaling molecules, and transcription factors, and growth factors that are important and specific to the lymphatic vasculature as compared to blood endothelial cells. Through those unique tools, now, the field has fast forwarded where we're starting to look into organ-specific functions of lymphatics.   Kathleen Caron:          We're appreciating that perhaps a little unlike the blood vascular system, which has one main function of delivering blood, lymphatics actually have very different functions depending on the organ that they're in. Some of the more common ones that you'll read about in textbooks in about a paragraph in a medical textbook are that lymphatics are important for immune cell trafficking through the lymph nodes, so they're the major route of trafficking for immune cells and for their maturation. Lymphatics are also important for draining interstitial fluid, and maintaining the homeostasis of tissue fluid balance.   Kathleen Caron:          A third really big one, which is sometimes underappreciated, is that lymphatics are the key vessels within the intestine that absorb lipid, and so all of our dietary lipids are absorbed through lymphatic vessels as opposed to the blood vasculature. Those three hallmark functions of lymphatics are the cornerstone of what they do throughout our body. But when you start to look into different organs and recognizing the different extrinsic and intrinsic forces that govern the function of these endothelial cells and different organs, you start to realize that they're even more complex, and that brings us to the heart.   Kathleen Caron:          The heart just has this beautiful network of lymphatic vessels that begin in the subendocardial space, and then project out and cover the subepicardial surface of the heart. And because the heart is always pumping, and because lymphatic vessels don't have an intrinsic mechanism for the flow of fluid through them, they rely on the movement of the tissue that they're in to help propel the fluid. So, this really raises the question of how are lymphatics functioning physically within a myocardium that is pumping with a very strong extrinsic force, and what is the function of those vessels if the heart is a very dense, thick organ that is not necessarily prone to edema necessarily as maybe our peripheral tissue and our skin is? Kathleen Caron:          We've been studying this for many years now, and we've had several studies exploring genetic factors that are important for the growth and development of cardiac lymphatics. That's the focus of this paper today. They're quite unique and very different vessels.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         Reading your paper, I definitely learned a lot about lymphatics in general. One of the things I was thinking about, obviously, you're looking at VE-Cadherin, which is an endothelial cell marker. When I think of VE-Cadherin, and when I think of endothelial cells, my mind goes primarily to those that are in arteries and veins. In those conduits, their role is to really keep a tight seal to keep things out. But in the lymphatic system, it's very different, so how exactly different are the endothelial cells in the lymphatic tissue, and are they different, say, in the cardiac lymphatics versus, like you said, the mesenteric lymphatic?   Kathleen Caron:          Lymphatics are very different than the blood vasculature. First of all, the lymphatic vasculature has key differences in terms of its architecture and structure. The lymphatic endothelial cells themselves, as they exist in vessels, don't put down a basement membrane, and in general, the dermal capillaries or the initial collector lymphatics that are the ones that are taking in fluid also don't have smooth muscle cells surrounding them like our typical vasculature does. All of this is guided and precedented by the differences in gene expression patterns of these very specialized endothelial cells.   Kathleen Caron:          They also have very different cell-cell junctions. So when we think of a blood endothelial cell, we typically think of these tight junctions that bring them together, but the lymphatic endothelial cells have oak leaf shaped overlapping junctions. They're really beautiful to see on an EM, and they're very different than the blood vasculature, because, Cindy, as you mentioned, the function is very different. You're supposed to let things leak out, and big things too, right, like immune cells and large proteins.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         One of the neat things that really made your study possible is this really nice PROX1 inducible CRE that you crossed with the flox-cadherin5 gene. I was wondering a little bit about that protein. Is that one of these, I guess, markers that allows lymphatic EC to be a lymphatic EC, and how specific is that protein for those specific ECs?   Natalie Harris:            The PROX1 CRE that we use is based off of the PROX1 transcription factor, which we consider to be one of the master transcription factors of lymphatics. In fact, that was one of the very first lymphatic specific transcription factors that help maintain the lymphatic identity. So in this case, PROX1 turns on from blood endothelial cells, because many lymphatics are of venous origin, so actually, PROX1 turning on is a hallmark of them becoming a lymphatic endothelial cell.   Natalie Harris:            Those are really great CRE specifically to look at lymphatics in this case, and it actually is a perfect model system because VE-Cadherin itself is only expressed in lymphatics and blood vessels, and then we have PROX1 as our free driver. Therefore, it will only be lymphatic, so it's a very specific lymphatic knockout of VE-Cadherin.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         That's so wonderful when we discover things that are so specific like that. So using this really nice model that's also Tamoxifen inducible, you then have control to look at things temporally. One of the neat things that you did was you looked at this in terms of an embryonic level knockout, but then another one postnatally, and then another one, it was an adult mouse, which not a lot of people do that intricate, temporal spacing of things. So I was wondering if you could just share with us what you were thinking behind doing that, and then really importantly, what those different models actually taught you about the cardiac lymphatics?   Kathleen Caron:          That's a great question, Cindy. It would take me 20 minutes to answer. It really represents work by all of the co-authors. Really, it's the first effort to look at the different stages. That's because the growth and development of lymphatics, particularly within the myocardium, differs a lot during embryogenesis, and then the vessels themselves are quiescent in an adult animal. Then of course, we were interested in seeing what might happen in an injured myocardium, and that was also part of the study.   Kathleen Caron:          We felt that it was important to address the changing and dynamic role of this protein in a developing lymphatic, because it's growing and forming these nascent vessels, and then as it's starting to remodel an early life, and then in adulthood when it's in a quiescence state. That was the rationale for looking at this. It was also... Sometimes, science just takes you where it takes you, and it was a co-author of ours, and collaborator of ours, who had noted a phenotype in the hearts of these animals that he generated and suggested that maybe it would be a good idea to look early in development. Then as one thing leads to another, you start looking later in development and so on and so forth, so the science just kind of…   Cindy St. Hilaire:         Sometimes tells you where to go on its own.   Kathleen Caron:          Exactly. It was a long project.   Natalie Harris:            Part of the reason too is that the cardiac lymphatics have been shown to have a little bit of a different development and maintenance and pruning cycle than some of the other lymphatics. Some other lymphatics are totally fully formed in embryonic development, but the cardiac lymphatics have been shown to develop through birth and a little bit postnatally as well. That makes them a little bit unique in the sense that their maturation is very prolonged, so that's part of the reason as well we wanted to look both in embryonic development as well as that postnatal period.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         That's so interesting. There are a lot of little nuggets that my antennas would perk up as I read your paper, really neat observations. One of them was that I think it was the postnatal and the adults. There was lymphatic endothelial cells in the cardiac tissue were disrupted. They were discontinuous and fragmented, yet there was no cardiac edema. I thought that was interesting because normally, you'd think about any of these mice with lymphatic issues. You think of edema. You think of swelling, and yet it wasn't happening in the heart. What do you think that means either about the lymphatic system in the heart or in lymphatics as a whole?   Kathleen Caron:          That's a really great question, and one that we think about all the time. I think it goes back to the first question or the first comment about the really remarkable differences in the functions of lymphatics and different tissues, right? And within the myocardium, because it is continuously moving and pumping with great force, the extrinsic forces within that tissue will help to mitigate the formation of edema. This is not to say that you can't get myocardial edema, and we've actually developed surgical models in our lab to form myocardial edema in mice.   Kathleen Caron:          It is a very common clinical condition in humans as well, but the lymphatics themselves being fully invested within this myocardium probably are being regulated differently in their function in draining fluid than, for example, the lymphatics that you might have in the skin or in your thigh or in other organs in your body. The fact that there wasn't edema, even though you had leaky vessels, didn't alarm us too much because we knew and sensed that with this constant pressure and pumping of the myocardium, that in itself helps to keep the tissue fluid balanced.   Natalie Harris:            That might be another reason why we're not seeing such extremes in edema, and then going back to what Kathrine said, again, because lymphatics have multiple functions, perhaps it's more in the immune cell realm or even other functions we haven't uncovered yet.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         One of the other neat observations you had was that you were doing a myocardial infarction model on the adult animals, and you noticed that the infarct size and the fibrosis was indeed larger in the knockouts, but the cardiac function wasn't exactly affected. What does this mean, and were you surprised by this?   Kathleen Caron:          Yeah, we were surprised. We absolutely were surprised, and we think that's actually one of the key big reveals for the field. To balance this, to counterbalance the absence of a phenotype, that was really remarkable to us, and I hope to many others as well, is that other studies including work from our lab and Paul Riley's lab and Eva Brackinham's lab have very convincingly shown in multiple different ways that if you stimulate lymphangiogenesis after injury, if you have a model, either genetic or induced, where there are more lymphatics for whatever reason, that's a beneficial thing. That's a great thing, and having more lymphatics is positive and beneficial to improving heart repair, and mitigating heart injury, and helping in the context of myocardial infarction.   Kathleen Caron:          Of course, it was really surprising that now we have a mouse model where we essentially have little to no lymphatics with very little to no function, and yet the ejection fractional shorting of the heart was doing just fine. I think that was a big moment and a big discovery for us, but very convincing. Then I think it leads us to really asking while more might be better, what really could be the critical function of the lymphatics in an injured myocardium? As Natalie just mentioned previously, it might be related to immune cell trafficking. Paul Riley's group has made some really seminal discoveries in that regard.   Natalie Harris:            It's just very interesting, because it's really against everything that you would expect from, again, all the previous studies. It just goes to show again that the lymphatics are so heterogeneous in their organ level function that that's really worth exploring more, because maybe if you can figure out strategies to selectively target certain beds, you can really do a treat on the disease by disease, organ by organ basis. That makes the lymphatics just really cool in my opinion, because they are so different, but it's all the same system, so it's just a very interesting organ, in my opinion.   Kathleen Caron:          I should also say serendipitously or right about a few months ago... Shout out to Mark Kahn's lab at University of Pennsylvania. They had a recent paper, I believe, in JCI that had a similar finding to ours. It's always gratifying when another lab says, "Oh, wow, really?" Their study was very different than ours and on a different series of signaling molecules, but similarly, they ablated or reduced cardiac lymphatics through different mechanisms, and then had an injury model. Also, were rather surprised to see that it didn't have this negative effect.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        It's so neat. The whole observations that you saw with these knockouts was a paper in itself, but the next half of the paper, you dig into the mechanism, which is also interesting. Can you share a little bit about the links that you found between VE-Cadherin and the VEGF receptor signaling, and is your mechanism you think specific to all lymphatic ECs or even all ECs, or is it specific just to the cardiac lymphatic ECs?   Kathleen Caron:          Yes, the mechanism, I find one of the funnest parts of this paper, because I think it really synergizes a lot of the key signaling molecules within our field. Also, I think it bridges together a G-protein-coupled-receptor signaling pathway that my lab has been interested in for decades now, and that is a pathway with the VEGFR3 signaling pathway. I think that's been a big open question in the field. How do these two critical requisite signaling paradigms for lymphatics converge together to maintain lymphatic function development?   Kathleen Caron:          I think we've really made some really great inroads in the study, and VE-Cadherin is central to that because it forms a structural scaffold to keep a GPCR signaling pathway in register with the receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway, and basically allow for the transactivation of these two really powerful pathways. The mechanism really is gratifying to be able to finally pull how these molecules all interface together and regulate one another.   Natalie Harris:            It's very interesting in the fact that VE-Cadherin, it's not necessarily like a lymphatic-specific molecule, but a lot of work in terms of VE-Cad has been more in studying mechanosensing and mechanotransductions. That's where a lot of little nuggets about maybe our mechanism has occurred that we know from really just on protein level studies that VE-Cadherin does interact with VEGFR2 and VEGFR3 by the transmembrane domain interaction. That was clue number one, and then clue number two is that we know that a lot of different mechanical signals that might affect VEGFR3 happened in the presence of VE-Cad.   Natalie Harris:            So in a sense, this particular paper is just piecing together a lot of these nuggets of information, and it all makes sense. One thing that you were saying in terms of maybe specific to the heart, going back to some of the earlier studies on these papers on these mice, that we found very vessel-bed-specific effects. One of the vessel beds that is really impacted is the lacteals and the mesentery, so the gut lymphatics. We do know that these lymphatic beds are very sensitive to VEGFC. In fact, they require constant VEGFC signaling. So if you're not having VEGFR3 stable at the membrane to receive these signals, it makes sense if you would have really extreme effects. That might be, again, some of the case in the heart as well. We do know after a cardiac injury, we do see an increase in things like adrenomedullin, and an increase in VEGFC has been shown to increase lymphangiogenesis, so perhaps also the heart, the gut lymphatics also has a special requirement for VEFGR3 signaling.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         So in terms of, I guess, the future of this line of research and maybe thinking about translation, what do you see as maybe a role for this in terms of developing therapeutic strategies or even preventative measures, I guess, specifically in the cardiac lymphatic area?   Natalie Harris:            Like we mentioned earlier, there's been a lot of studies in mice that have looked at increasing lymphangiogenesis post-injury, so it would be interesting to see more when those hit the clinical end, and if you're seeing similar effects. Then the other thing that's interesting about lymphatics, you can think of them as both a target and also as a drug delivery route. There's a huge, huge field totally dedicated to using the lymphatics to deliver drugs like nanoparticles. That's very big in the cancer realm, and pretty much for any kind of drug delivery, if you can imagine using that as a super highway to deliver drugs as well.   Natalie Harris:            That could be a potential avenue in terms of the heart as well, getting a more specific administration of cardiovascular drugs to the heart. So whether or not we're thinking of them as being modulated by disease, we can also use them to modulate the disease itself by delivering drugs as well, so it's interesting. You can think of the lymphatics as a therapeutic target and as a therapeutic administrator. That's going to be really interesting to see where the field goes.   Cindy St. Hilaire:         I like that, a new super highway to deliver drugs. Thank you so much, soon to be Dr Harris and Dr Caron from UNC Chapel Hill. This was a wonderful conversation and a beautiful paper. Congratulations on all the hard work.

How does your shop address and interact with the homeless community? If you are like most people, the answer is not very defined and born more from fear and misunderstanding than empathy and informed policy. As we provide spaces to serve the community, it is important that we focus in on how we interact with every person within it, including the homeless.  To help us rewrite the narrative and bring some understanding to the conversation on home we and our businesses treat the homeless we are going to be talking with the Executive Director of Louisville Coalition for the Homeless, Natalie Harris.  Natalie Harris joined The Coalition for the Homeless in April of 2010. The Coalition is a nonprofit organization committed to advocacy, education and collaboration on the issues of homelessness. It is member agency of over 30 homeless shelter and service providers serving Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. They have a staff of twelve. Natalie was responsible for working to create Rx:Housing/Louisville and effort to end both veteran and chronic homelessness in Louisville. Natalie was also the Chief Executive Officer of Miami Valley Housing Opportunities, a nonprofit supportive housing provider in Dayton, Ohio. Natalie also served as director of the Specialized Housing Resources Department at Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC), the state housing finance agency. There, she was responsible for development, implementation and coordination of policies and procedures relating to special needs housing. She has served as a consultant to the U.S. Census Bureau, Corporation for Supportive Housing, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Urban Institute on issues related to rural homelessness and supportive housing. In this conversation Natalie gives us insight into the factors contributing to homelessness and helps give us practical and actionable steps to take to equip ourselves and our staff with the mindsets and tools to really connect with and help the homeless community in meaningful ways.  Please look into the links provided here to learn more.   We cover: Systems that create homelessness Profit over people Segregation  Blaming the person Broadening your perspective Listening and connecting Coffee shops role  Gaining more information Communicating with your staff   Links: https://louhomeless.org email: nharris@louhomeless.org https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/take-a-course/   Related Episodes: 180 : A Conversation with Rugid Grind Founders, Brian Washington and Averett Barksdale 182 : Founder Friday w/ Alec Tod of Indie Coffee Roasters 106 : Changing Lives Through Coffee w/ Pamela Chng of Bettr Barista 183 : Exploring Diversity w/ Phyllis Johnson 139 : Founder Friday w/ Kusanya Cafe Co-Founder, Phil Sipka     Need consulting?

She is the founder of Brainstorm Revolution, a nonprofit. Rebecca is now an advocate for mental health as well as a best-selling author and international blogger.

What is a mudcloth? That's what I asked Natalie Harris of The Tiny Closet during our discussion! Mudcloth as fashion is a new concept I was introduced to when I spoke to Melody Asherman of Everrything Rrouge last January. I'm learning more about the fabric, including how it's made, which West African country it comes from, and which city in America seems to like it more than the rest.  We also discuss East African fashion (specifically leather goods from Kenya) and of course... Wakanda forever!   Shop Mudcloth pieces on The Tiny Closet Read The Tiny Closet Blog Follow The Tiny Closet on Instagram Follow @PoisedPodcast on Twitter and Facebook and use #PoisednPolished to continue the conversation!

What would you do if you threw out 90% of your closet and still didn’t like what was left? Natalie Harris decided to find her personal style and launched a blog turned boutique The Tiny Closet. I spoke to Natalie about what it really takes to be a minimalist, finding personal style, and why you should on EVERYTHING in the store.

My guest is Natalie Harris, a stand up comedian who has been making a name for herself on the Melbourne comedy scene. For her comedy wasn’t a latent discovery - she has long thought it was “the only thing she was good at” - but the decision to act on that impulse to follow her creative pursuits has only come about towards the end of her twenties - and only now, a few years in, is she discovering her voice.  Nat is one of a handful of people in the world that makes me literally LOL whenever I am in her presence. We first got to really know each other while working behind the scenes on the ABC TV series Twentysomething around the time she was beginning to make inroads into stand-up. An ongoing theme - one that seems to have popped with my last couple of guests - is the discovery of passions either later than they expected or while in the pursuit of something else entirely. For Nat, it was as if she always knew this is what she wanted to be doing, but she was just waiting for… permission, a sign, for it to seem like she was allowed to step into the ring and attempt it. Due to changing like circumstances, her attitude shifted towards one of “why not” - well, those weren’t exactly he words - and lucky for us now she is well and truly on a path of discovery.

In Episode 2 we chat with Natalie Harris and Janice Landry. Dr. Robin McGee teaches us about Narrative Memory vs. Post Traumatic Memory during "Clinically Speaking with Dr. McGee".
