Viscerālie tauki ir lēni gruzdošs iekaisums, kurš būtiski ietekmē dažādus procesus organismā un rada riskus veselībai. Kādus tieši, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Plašāk stāsta medicīnas zinātņu doktore, endokrinoloģe Gita Erta un Latvijas Hipertensijas un aterosklerozes biedrības prezidents, Stradiņa slimnīcas (PSKUS) kardiologs, Latvijas Universitātes asociētais profesors Kārlis Trušinskis. "Lai ko mēs runātu par aptaukošanos un viscerāliem taukiem, ļoti svarīgi ir, ka tā ir novēršama problēma. Nevis novēršama tad, kad jums jau ir izmaiņas visās analīzēs. Novēršama nozīmē - sākam šodien kaut ko. Nav jādara viss uzreiz. Atsakos no kaut kādiem rafinētiem ogļhidrātiem, no bulciņām. Kaut ko vienkārši izdarām šodien. Pāreju no 10 reizes nedēļā bulciņas uz vienu reizi nedēļā. Ja nevar visu uzreiz, maziem solīšiem. Bet tas būs daudz vērtīgāk, manuprāt, nekā sekot miligramiem nanolitrā, kā man mainās kortizola līkne un zīmēt to gadiem, bet turpināt dzīvot kā iepriekš," aicina Kārlis Trušinskis. Viņš atzīst, ka vispirms ir jādomā par veselīgu uzturu un aktīvu dzīvesveidu, nevis jāsagaida slikti analīžu rezultāti, lai kaut ko sāktu darīt.  

Jane Hansom's story is one of transformation, resilience, and rediscovery. Once a promising swimmer in Scotland, Jane took a 20-year detour through the vibrant world of marketing and nightlife before returning to her athletic roots to become a world triathlon champion. Jane gave up swimming at 16, and returned to sport almost by chance - first as a runner, then as a triathlete - and went on to become an Ironman triathlon world champion. Now living in the Caribbean, she swims in the beautiful open water around Nevis every day, and her story has come full circle. She talks about how consistency, determination and her swimming background gave her the platform to reach the very top of her age-group triathlon career, while simultaneously pursuing a successful career in advertising and marketing. Jane shares her inspiring journey, her insights into training and longevity, and, drawing on her marketing experience, gives her pitch-perfect thoughts on how we could elevate the profile of masters swimming. And if you're tempted by the idea of swimming alongside turtles and rays, check out the Nevis to St Kitts Cross-Channel Swim: https://www.nevistostkittscrosschannelswim.com Visit our Instagram Channel for additional content via @freestyle_media_swimming and please leave us a rating or review on your podcast player.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 10th of September 2026. As we head into September, autumnal HF conditions are fast approaching. We can expect the maximum useable frequency, or MUF, to climb during the day and DX to become more plentiful. However, we are not there yet and it may take a few more weeks before we see much of a change in HF propagation. Meanwhile, solar activity remains quite low, with a solar flux index around 100 to 110. Geomagnetic disturbances are still occurring, but their effects have been minimal. The Kp index rose to 5 on the 8th of September, due to the effects of a coronal hole stream. Luckily, this was short-lived and the following day the Kp index was back to being in the 2 to 3 range. The last four days have seen only minor C-class flares but, with seven sunspot groups visible leading to the risk of solar flares and associated coronal mass ejections, activity remains quite high. MUFs over a 3,000km path have reached 24.9MHz at times, although the 17 and 15m bands have been more usable. Expect the daytime MUF to climb to perhaps 28 or 29MHz by the end of the month. Two coronal holes appear to be developing on the Sun and will become Earth-facing today, the 13th, so there could be a coronal high-speed stream hitting us between tomorrow, the 14th and Wednesday the 16th of September.  DX to be worked next week includes RI1FJZ from Franz Josef Land; V47YA and V47RCX on St Kitts and Nevis, KH8WW from American Samoa; and S79/DL2SBY from the Seychelles. Also, look for PJ2/K5SL from Curaçao from the 18th of September and 8Q7JH in the Maldives from the 20th of September. Next week the Space Weather Prediction Centre forecasts that the solar flux index may remain in the 105 to 115 range. We can expect unsettled geomagnetic conditions from the 14th to the 16th of September. This is possibly due to the coronal hole activity mentioned earlier, with a predicted Kp of 4. Otherwise, the rest of the week may remain calm with a Kp index of 2 to 3. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The current spell of changeable autumnal weather looks likely to remain with us for most of the coming week. However, the UK covers a broad span from south to north and some differences will be apparent. We have seen the arrival of some fronts with rain in the south. These will probably be weaker than in northern Britain and with only occasional patches of rain. For the rest of the time, look out for weak ridges of high pressure and periods of tropo into the near continent and possibly south across Biscay to Spain. For the northern half of the country, the weather systems will be more active and tropo will be less likely, but you could find some occasional rain scatter opportunities on the GHz bands. Meteor scatter options are still only available via random activity with no major showers playing a role. The aurora prospects are probably not zero, but recently alerts have been for minor levels of disturbance with a Kp index up to 5, but nothing dramatic on the radio aurora front. However, with it now being autumn, it is always worth monitoring. As we head towards the autumnal equinox on the 23rd of September, it is a good time of the year for aurora if the triggering solar activity is sufficiently strong. EME now, and Moon declination continues to fall until its lowest point around Friday the 18th of September. Meanwhile, path losses continue to rise until apogee, the Moon's furthest point from Earth, also on the 18th of September. Sky noise remains low and then rises again around Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th of September, when the Moon is in Sagittarius. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

GB2RS News Sunday the 6th of September 2026 The news headlines: Learn about HF propagation studies at the RSGB Convention Which coding activities will you be trying? WRTC 2026 results have been rescored Are you aware of the GB0PSC Baldock space weather station? The RSGB Propagation Studies Committee recently installed a HamSCI HFRx at Ofcom's spectrum monitoring site at Baldock. The station is part of HF propagation studies that will allow the Committee to learn more about space weather and its effects including radio blackouts, Doppler flashes and travelling ionospheric disturbances. You can find out how the Committee is progressing with its studies by joining Gwyn Griffiths, G3ZIL on Saturday the 10th of October at the RSGB Convention. If amateur radio construction is something you'd like to find out more about, then join RadCom Plus Editor Paul Marks, G8FVK on Sunday the 11th of October to learn about his approach to modular design of amateur radio equipment. In particular, he'll be looking at QRP HF and VHF gear, using readily available circuit boards and modules such as the AD831 RF mixer module. You can attend both lectures at the Society's annual Convention at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes between the 9th and 11th of October. Secure your place via rsgb.org/convention National Coding Week is back this month! To support radio amateurs in building their digital skills and explore the world of programming, the RSGB has shared three new activities for you to try. The first builds on the Python Pocket Morse activity developed last year and guides radio amateurs to use a BBC Micro:bit to send Morse code either on a telegraph wire or wirelessly. The second is ‘Ener-G use' which is great for unlicensed and younger radio amateurs and allows them to compare increasing forces and energy use with a fun Micro:bit activity. The third activity is based on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2W. It is a demonstration of Pulse Width Modulation and uses just a couple of components, including an LED and a resistor, and will give you a better understanding of the concept of duty cycle. All three activities are available via rsgb.org/coding  You can try them at home, set up a practical club night or use them as an activity with a youth or school group. Let the Society know how you get on by sending photos and a summary to ncw.coordinator@rsgb.org.uk by the 30th of September. Following the conclusion of the on-site WRTC 2026 adjudication process at Wyboston, UK on the 13th of July 2026, significant new information became available resulting in necessary further work by the Judging Committee.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 3rd of September 2026. Solar activity has continued to decline, leaving us with a solar flux index around 100. The upside is we haven't had any solar flares and associated coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, to contend with. Over the last week, we had only one M-class flare and no X-class events. The solar flux index declined to 102 on Thursday the 3rd of September – down from 122 a week ago. But the Kp index has been firmly in the range of 1 to 2 which bodes well for ionospheric stability. This has led to maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs, over 3,000km being around 21 to 24MHz. However, FT8 has stretched this up to 28MHz at times. There have been some good 10m band FT8 openings to South America late in the afternoon. Chile, Brazil and Argentina were workable during these periods. DX to be worked this week includes 3W9C from Vietnam; T99PB from Palau; Z68PX in Kosovo; P29YY in Papua New Guinea; HP/WE9G from Panama; D44TWO from Cape Verde; T32AZ from East Kiribati; and J38DX and J38LD operating from Grenada. V47YA and V47RCX from St Kitts and Nevis will be active from the 8th of September until the end of the month and KH8WW, in American Samoa, will be on the air from the 10th to the 24th of September. Two rare ones to look for are VK0DS from Davis Station and VK0TBC from Casey Station, both in Antarctica. Operations are mostly using SSB and FT8, as time permits. Both stations have been spotted on the FT8 frequencies of the 20, 15 and 10m bands at times. Next week NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will remain around the 100 mark. However, the good news is that, barring any flares or CMEs, the Kp index should remain low, perhaps around 2 all week. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G0KYA. The weather remains in a rather unsettled state. However, there are some signs of a transient area of high pressure brushing past the south of the country today, the 6th. This may create a chance of some tropo into the continent. This could tie in very well with the RSGB 144MHz Trophy and Backpackers Contests, which are taking place today the 6th. The unsettled pattern returns for the rest of the week and may not provide much help for the RSGB 432MHz UK Activity Contest on Tuesday the 8th, or the RSGB 50MHz UK Activity Contest on Thursday the 10th. In occasional bursts of heavier rain there may be some potential for rain scatter on the GHz bands. The prospects of meteor scatter remain in the random territory. So, it is best to listen just before dawn for the better chances. The solar conditions have not been very dramatic lately with the Kp index staying below 3. However, if it perks up a bit, say above 5, there may be a chance of aurora. The Sporadic-E season has more or less ended now. The next period to consider checking usually comes at the end of the year, and the first week in January, for out-of-season surprise openings. EME now, and sky noise should remain low during the coming week. Moon declination remains high. The Moon reached perigee, its closest point to Earth, yesterday, the 5th, so path losses remain low. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” Caribbean-American actor Juliette Jeffers shares her coming-of-age film, “Pan Gyul.” Featured at multiple film festivals, including Atlanta’s BronzeLens Film Festival, the movie takes viewers to the island of Nevis. Jeffers spoke with Scott about the 15-minute film that was shot within six days. She also discussed what else she hopes to achieve in the film industry – including more feature films, film festivals, and compete for more awards. Also on today’s show, for the past seven years, Brad Raffensperger has served as Georgia’s 29th Secretary of State. It's a position that gained Raffensperger international attention -- as well as threats from some Trump supporters -- when he defended Georgia's 2020 election results. Now, Raffensperger is preparing Georgians for one last midterm election before he leaves office in January, before sharing what's next for him. He also reflects on the changes to the state’s voting system during his tenure and shares his confidence in the security of Georgia elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The spirit had vowed to put John Bell in his grave, and on a December morning in 1820 a coma, a smoky vial of black poison, and a dead barn cat proved she meant every word.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/bellwitchfinallaughREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yfpsnbfwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Did a malevolent spirit cause the death of John Bell, or was it something else that brought his demise?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021Weird Darkness gathers four accounts of the inexplicable across this episode — a frontier farmer poisoned by a spirit, a midnight keyboard played by no one, the worldwide superstitions surrounding human skulls, and a hidden reading of the Watergate burglary.It opens with the death of John Bell, the Tennessee gentleman farmer remembered as the only man ever murdered by a spirit. For nearly four years the entity known as the Bell Witch had tormented his household with attacks, flying objects, and a disembodied voice, singling out Bell and his daughter Elizabeth, called Betsy, for the worst of it. On the morning of December 19, 1820, Bell could not be roused from a deep stupor, and his son John Jr. found the cupboard of prescribed medicines emptied and replaced by a smoky-looking vial holding a dark, nearly black liquid. The witch laughed over his bed and admitted she had dosed "Old Jack" the night before; when Alex Gunn brought in a barn cat and a straw of the liquid was drawn across its tongue, the animal screeched, whirled, and dropped dead. Dr. Hopson confirmed Bell had swallowed the contents, Frank Miles hurled the vial into the fire where it flared blue up the chimney, and Bell died early on December 20, 1820, never having woken.From there the episode turns to a quieter haunting, recounted by a father awakened at 1:14 a.m. on March 9, 2018 by a few composed notes from his twelve-year-old son's electronic keyboard. He found the boy sound asleep and the cat sitting upright on the bed, staring at the instrument, and when he pressed the keys himself no sound came because the power was switched off. The next morning he woke his son for school and recognized the boy's shirt, worn for the first time, as one that had belonged to his late brother, who died suddenly in 2015 and whose lifelong dream had been to play in his band, called Ghost Of. The shirt read "Rock Isn't Dead… it's just played by Ghost Of," and the brothers had shared a love of ghost stories and a standing joke that he would return to visit after death.Next comes a survey of the human skull as an object of dread and reverence stretching back through cultures on every continent, rooted in the old belief that the head housed the soul and offered a channel to the Other World. The segment weighs the disputed Celtic "Cult of the Head," with historian Ronald Hutton arguing the recurring head motif on Celtic metalwork reflects artistic fashion rather than worship, and moves through the 1612 trial of Lancashire witch Anne Chattox, hanged after she was accused of robbing graves for skulls and teeth. It gathers the screaming-skull legends of England, including Anne Griffiths of Burton Agnes Hall in Yorkshire, whose exhumed head was bricked into a staircase wall to quiet the slamming and crashing, and the skull at Bettiscombe Manor in Dorset, said to belong to an enslaved man brought from Nevis by the Pinney family and denied his promised burial in the Caribbean.The episode closes with a long, skeptical reexamination of Watergate that treats the official account as a fabrication. It returns to the June 17, 1972 arrest of five burglars inside the Democratic National Committee offices and the address book linking E. Howard Hunt to Nixon's White House, then argues, following journalist Jim Hougan's 1984 book Secret Agenda, that the men never actually bugged the building at all. James McCord, a senior figure in the CIA's Office of Security rather than the low-level technician he claimed, rented a line-of-sight surveillance room facing the wrong side of the complex, paid an employee to transcribe conversations from nonexistent wiretaps, and twice taped the stairwell locks horizontally across the door face so guards could not miss them. A key found on burglar Eugenio Martinez fit the desk of DNC secretary Ida Wells and pointed toward a suspected call-girl ring run out of the adjacent Columbia Plaza apartments, raising the possibility that Hunt and McCord, both career CIA men who lied about a decade-long association, sabotaged the break-in to shield a clandestine operation, to topple a president who had sidelined the agency, or both, taking the full truth with them to their graves.

The thirteen colonies that became the United States were just half of the British colonies that existed in the 18th century. The empire stretched from New England, south to Georgia and Florida and the islands of the West Indies, east to India, Scotland, and Ireland, and south again to British forts on the West coast of Africa. Because of this, the revolution of 1776 wasn’t isolated to the North American eastern seaboard. It was a world-historical crisis that swept up American Indian nations, Caribbean islands, West African forts, Indian cities, Scottish drawing rooms, German principalities, Cuban harbors, Chinese trading houses, and a fledgling colony in Sierra Leone. The result is a Revolution that was on the one hand a political struggle for the 13 colonies, but it was also a genuinely global catastrophe in which Indigenous nations, enslaved Africans, German soldiers, French philosophes, Caribbean planters, Indian merchants, and Spanish generals all fought for their own competing visions of what "freedom" actually meant. Today’s guest is Sarah Pearsall, author of Freedom Round the Globe. We see how the fight for liberty went far outside the borders of the American colonies. When the British Parliament imposed the Stamp Act in 1765, the protests and violent crowd actions that erupted were not confined to Boston or Virginia, they broke out with equal fury in St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, and other Caribbean colonies. But they chose to stay loyal because they feared slave uprisings more than they resented Parliament. The French alliance that saved American independence at Yorktown drove France itself toward bankruptcy and revolution. And there were at least two would-be fourteenth colonies (British Florida and Quebec) courted by Americans but believed their fortunes were better served in other places than the Revolution. The Revolution was not a contained colonial rebellion. It was a world war, and the Treaty of Paris in 1783 settled the claims of dozens of nations, most of whom had nothing to do with the thirteen colonies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was Alexander Hamilton the real architect of American capitalism — or just the most self-destructive genius in the room? What does it mean that the man who shaped the nation's finances spent his career surrounded by an economy built on enslaved labour he understood firsthand? And, if the founding fathers were so brilliant, why is America still fighting about what they actually built?Peter and Afua peel back the marble on two of the most mythologised men in history: Hamilton, the penniless Caribbean immigrant who survived a hurricane, built the American financial machine, and then blew up his own career with a 95-page confession; and Washington, the slave-owning Virginia planter who became the face of liberty — and knew exactly when to put the power down.0:00 Hamilton, Washington, and the show that won't let the founders off the hook 1:48 The Caribbean origins of Alexander Hamilton — and what Nevis reveals about colonial violence 5:30 How working at the epicentre of the Atlantic slave economy shaped Hamilton's political thinking 9:10 The outsider who doubled down: Hamilton's ambition, his tongue, and why people feared him 11:36 The Reynolds affair — confessing adultery to defeat a corruption charge 15:50 What Hamilton brought to the revolution that none of the others could 20:10 George Washington: the Virginia planter who had to learn how to be a gentleman 24:00 How marrying Martha Custis transformed Washington's wealth and status overnight 26:40 The land grab Britain tried to block — and why it radicalized Washington 30:30 The fragile coalition: Franklin's joke, the hanging rope, and what really held them together 35:00 Washington's genius was knowing what not to do — and when to walk away 38:40 The American dream was built on free labour — and the dishonesty that disguised itJoin Legacy Plus for bonus episodes, early access, Q&A's, fewer adverts and more. legacy.supportingcast.fmStay connected with Legacy: Instagram: @originallegacypodcast TikTok: @legacy_productions Explore more from Peter and Afua — essays, sources, and ideas: Substack: peterfrankopan.substack.com | afuahirsch.substack.comJoin Legacy+ for bonus episodes, early access, Q&A's, fewer adverts and more.legacy.supportingcast.fmStay connected with Legacy:Instagram: @originallegacypodcastTikTok: @legacy_productionsExplore more from Peter and Afua — essays, sources, and ideas: Substack: peterfrankopan.substack.com | afuahirsch.substack.com Hosted on Acast.

The World Health Organization has confirmed dozens of people, including Americans, left the ship upon which a hantavirus outbreak has killed several people and flew home after the death of the first passenger but before they knew they'd been exposed to a contagious and deadly disease. On Thursday, May 7th, Oceanwide Expeditions, operator of the cruise ship MV Hondius, says at least 29 living passengers from 12 countries disembarked the ship and went home after the death of the first passenger on board. This was before officials knew of the outbreak.  Those countries are Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States.

Today host Aaron Millar is sharing a bucket list bit of madness — literal adventure insanity he got up to about 15 years ago in the Scottish Highlands. It's called the Glen Nevis River Race, and it involves hurling yourself down two miles of white-water rapids with nothing but a novelty inflatable for company.Picture part extreme white-water adventure, part Monty Python's Navy — competitors arrive bearing giant inflatable swans, killer whales, dinosaurs and, for one unfortunate soon-to-be husband, a blow-up doll.

In this episode of the Oxford Policy Pod, MPP Student from Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, Rahym R. Augustin-Joseph, sits with Hon. Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis, and Leader of the Opposition in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, in the Eastern Caribbean. Premier Brantley serves as Premier of Nevis and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Brantley previously held the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2015 to 2022. Before entering politics, he built a career as an attorney engaged in international litigation. In this episode, we address the known fact, which is that the Caribbean and Small States, are deleteriously affected by global shocks between world powers, not of their making, such as climate change, wars, geopolitical tensions, policy shifts, and a growing rightward trend among states that affects migration, international multilateral assistance and the rules based order that have protected their sovereignty. However, one cannot as said in the Caribbean, ‘lay down and play dead', but instead, the Caribbean must employ a suite of policy and diplomatic measures that can insulate them from these global shocks, while using these windows to transform their societies. This episode addresses some of these measures that Premier Brantley believes can be done, while still focusing on what he has attempted to do in Nevis to transform.

What happens when you step away from sport for nearly 20 years… and then come back? In this episode, I'm joined by Jane Hansom, who did exactly that. From a long break after university to running a sub-3 marathon, winning her age group at Kona, and building a successful marketing business alongside her training, Jane's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to start. We talk about consistency, mindset, coaching, and how the lessons from endurance sport translate directly into business and life.   5 KEY POINTS 1. It's never too late to start - Progress doesn't depend on your past. 2. Consistency wins - Show up. Do the work. Repeat. 3. Coaching is about people - The best coaches adapt to the individual. 4. Mindset transfers - What works in sport works in life. 5. Details matter - Small things make a big difference.   3 TAKEAWAYS 1. Be clear on your goal - Know exactly what you're aiming for. 2. Do the work, then trust it - Confidence comes from preparation. 3. Find your people - Support makes everything easier.   KILLER QUOTE “There wasn't a single day in that entire year that I pressed snooze.”

Everyone in wealth management is talking about artificial intelligence, but the more important question is what happens when it stops being just another feature and starts becoming the operating layer for the firm. Not just a notetaker. Not just a chatbot. Something that can actually help advisors scale capacity, reduce operational drag and make the tech stack feel a whole lot less fragmented. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic chats with Mark Swan, CEO and co-founder of Nevis, to explore what it really takes for AI to move beyond point solutions and into the core infrastructure of a modern RIA. He unpacks the difference between horizontal AI tools and vertical AI platforms, why voice may become the next major interface in advisor technology, and how firms can start thinking about AI not as a collection of disconnected tools, but as a system for orchestrating work across the front, middle and back office. Key takeaways: Why the real bottleneck in wealth management is advisor capacity, not demand The difference between AI point solutions and a truly unified platform What lessons from digital banking can teach wealth firms about scaling and reducing costs Why voice could become a much more natural way for advisors to interact with their technology  How lowering the cost to serve could make professional financial advice accessible to more clients Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Mark Swan: LinkedIn: Mark Swan LinkedIn: Nevis Wealth Website: Nevis Wealth About Our Guest: Mark Swan is the CEO and Co-founder of Nevis, an AI platform built specifically for wealth management firms. Originally from Scotland, he brings a global perspective shaped by his experience helping scale Revolut into one of the largest digital banks in the world. At Nevis, Mark is focused on reducing the administrative burden that limits advisor capacity, using AI to streamline workflows and improve how firms operate. His work centers on helping advisors spend less time on processes and more time with clients, while also expanding access to financial advice through more efficient and scalable systems.

(Host: Jessica)  On the tiny Caribbean island of Nevis, sugar, slavery, and empire shaped the childhood of future Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and the early married life of naval hero Horatio Nelson. From bustling Charlestown streets to windswept plantation estates, this episode of Footnoting History uncovers how a so‑called “forgotten spot in the Caribbean” became the backdrop for global stories of revolution and war.    For further reading suggestions and more, please visit: https://www.footnotinghistory.com

In this episode, Beth and I reflect on our recent Nevis to St Kitts swim, a brilliant open water adventure that reminded us what it really means to be Battle Ready. We talk about the event itself, the experience of swimming across open water in a stunning setting, and what we learned from it. Then we shift gears into a more personal topic. I share why, after years of resisting it, I've decided to start taking statins. It's not medical advice, but an honest conversation about health, ageing, and the difference between being fit and being truly healthy for the long term. Key Points The Nevis to St Kitts swim experience A 2.5-mile open water swim in warm Caribbean waters, inclusive, well organised, and accessible to a wide range of swimmers. Adventure vs preparation You don't need perfect preparation to take on meaningful challenges, but the experience highlighted where more specific endurance work would help. Battle Ready in action Being consistently fit allowed us to step into an event like this with confidence and enjoy the experience. Fit doesn't equal healthy You can look strong, perform well, and still have underlying health risks that aren't visible on the surface. Why I changed my stance on statins After years of resisting medication, a combination of medical advice, real-life examples, and perspective on long-term risk led me to rethink my position. 3 Takeaways Train for life, not just events Being Battle Ready means you can say yes to opportunities without needing perfect preparation. Don't confuse fitness with health Performance metrics don't tell the full story. What's happening “under the hood” matters just as much. Play the long game Whether it's training, lifestyle, or medical decisions, the goal is to keep doing what you love for decades, not just today.

Offshore trusts and LLCs aren't just for the ultra-wealthy or the sketchy. They're one of the most effective — and completely legal — tools available for protecting assets from lawsuits, creditors, and geopolitical risk.In this episode of the Alternative Investing Advantage podcast, Alex Perny sits down with Matthew Smith of SouthPac Group — a firm that has operated in the offshore space since 1982 — to break down exactly how Cook Islands and Nevis structures work, who they're built for, and what it actually costs to set one up and maintain it.What you'll learn:→ The difference between Cook Islands and Nevis trusts — and which is right for you→ Why offshore structures are NOT tax havens (and what they actually are)→ How irrevocable trusts create a legal wall between you and creditors→ Trust vs. LLC: when to use each and when to combine both→ What it takes to access your money — and why that process IS the protection→ How US persons can legally bank in Switzerland through an offshore structure→ What the reporting requirements actually look like (and why they're manageable)→ How self-directed IRA funds can be held in offshore structures⏱ Chapters:0:00 — Introduction & Why Offshore Interest Is Growing2:18 — SouthPac Group: 40+ Years in the Offshore Space5:10 — Cook Islands vs. Nevis: Key Differences Explained11:09 — Who Actually Uses Offshore Structures (And Why)12:56 — Barriers to Entry & Compliance Requirements15:31 — Offshore ≠ Tax Haven: Clearing Up the Misconceptions19:13 — Trust vs. LLC: Levels of Protection Compared23:19 — Revocable vs. Irrevocable: What You Need to Know25:00 — How Trustees Work and Why You Shouldn't Be Your Own30:44 — Ongoing Costs: What to Budget For34:20 — What Assets Can Actually Go Offshore38:45 — Banking Options: Switzerland, Cook Islands & More44:02 — How to Access Your Money From an Offshore Trust48:53 — Managing Expectations as a Trust Beneficiary50:30 — Why Offshore Isn't as Mysterious as You ThinkSubscribe to our YouTube channel and join our growing community for new videos every week.If you are interested in being a podcast guest speaker or have questions, contact us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast@AdvantaIRA.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Learn more about our guest, Matthew Smith:https://southpacgroup.com/our-people/Learn more about Advanta IRA: https://www.AdvantaIRA.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/advanta-irahttps://www.linkedin.com/company/Advanta-IRA/https://twitter.com/AdvantaIRA https://www.facebook.com/AdvantaIRA/ https://www.instagram.com/AdvantaIRA/#OffshoreInvesting #AssetProtection #WealthProtection #CookIslands #NevisTrust #Offshoretrust #AlternativeInvesting #SelfDirectedIRA #SDIRA #AdvantaIRA #LegalAssetProtection #SwissBanking #WealthBuilding #HighNetWorth #AlternativeInvestingAdvantage

St Kitts & Nevis – the Western Hemisphere's smallest sovereign nation – packs considerable punch into its modest acreage. These twin volcanic islands in the Lesser Antilles offer a potent cocktail of colonial fortresses, sugar-plantation history, and Alexander Hamilton lore, all wrapped up in rainforest, beaches, and surprisingly good diving. It's the Caribbean distilled: rum punches, steel pans, and enough hiking trails to work off the Johnny cakes. Small it may be, but forgettable it is not.Love the pod? Get the guide!

Lights, Camera, Paradise: How Pamela Martin Is Putting Nevis on the Map Through Film and TourismNevis — a 36-square-mile island in the northeastern Caribbean — is no longer content to be a hidden gem. Driving that transformation is Pamela Martin: three-term Board Chair of the Nevis Tourism Authority and the island's inaugural Film Commissioner. Born in the UK to Nevisian parents, Martin visited the island in 1994 and never left, trading a career in graphic design for a lifelong mission to share Nevis with the world.Martin has steadfastly positioned Nevis as a "luxury barefoot destination" — a deliberate alternative to mass-market Caribbean tourism. There is no cruise port, no traffic lights, no fast-food chains, and strict building height limits. Yet historically, Nevis looms large: it is home to the Bath Hotel (the first hotel in the Caribbean), the region's first Five Diamond resort (Four Seasons, since 1990), and the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton. "The size of the island is just a number," Martin says. "We are larger than life in a real sense."During COVID-19, a production company stumbled onto Nevis after travel restrictions blocked their original destination. Over two years, nine films were shot on the island, employing roughly 150 locals and appearing on Amazon and Netflix — all while the rest of the hospitality world stood still. Appointed Film Commissioner in August 2023, Martin turned that accident into a strategy. The Nevis Film Commission officially launched in June 2025 and has since hosted approximately eight additional productions, with US streaming and TV network partnerships set to release in 2026 and 2027. Her pitch to filmmakers highlights the island's speed — you can reach any location in 10–15 minutes — free access to heritage sites, seamless permitting, and incentives in the form of accommodation and dining credits.On the tourism side, Nevis leans hard into experiential travel. Visitors can cook organic food harvested from the ground with local farmer Ras Iroi, soak in natural thermal hot springs at the historic Bath Hotel, or follow storytelling tours tracing Hamilton's Nevisian roots. The annual Mango Festival — now drawing 4,000+ visitors across four days in July — showcases 44 local mango varieties through 50 participating chefs. The Nevis-to-St. Kitts Cross Channel Swim, ranked among the world's top 100 open water events, targets 750 international swimmers for its March 2026 edition.Martin's vision extends beyond visitor numbers. She serves on the advisory board of the government's Girls Mentorship Program, and the NTA actively partners with the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society to preserve heritage sites — including an ongoing effort to secure UNESCO World Heritage status for the Bath Hotel. Looking ahead, Martin is focused on expanding brand awareness into untapped markets, including the affluent African American demographic, while cautiously embracing AI and vertical filming technology for the Film Commission. "We have to embrace it," she says, "but carefully — so it doesn't hide the authenticity of Nevis.More Travel NewsSupport the showTripCast360 --- It's all about travel, lifestyle and entertainment.Web: TripCast360.com.Twit: https://twitter.com/TripCast360FB: https://www.facebook.com/TripCast360Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tripcast360/

Send us fan responses! Ever feel like the system is built to keep you compliant and broke? We go straight at the root: status, contracts, and how to build a private life the state doesn't control. From the way schools train obedience to the way courts extract value, we unpack how your identity is treated like a business—and how to take the driver's seat with trusts, DBAs, and clear boundaries that protect your assets and time.We map a practical blueprint. Start by formalizing your family trust and placing a holding company in a protective state like Nevada or Wyoming. Use DBAs for children's names, separate roles to avoid commingling, and learn the key signals that shift jurisdiction—like reserving rights and declining to contract in court. Then layer on finance: fund the trust, leverage cash value life insurance for lines of credit, and consider offshore jurisdictions such as Nevis or the Cook Islands for advanced asset protection. This isn't about hiding; it's about lawful structure and tax avoidance the way corporations have done for decades.Along the way, we explore identity, language, and power. Tribal models in Africa, private communities, and even micronations in Nevada highlight how groups claim autonomy with bylaws, culture, and clear leadership. We connect that to modern tools—crypto, mobile money, and private IDs for specific travel contexts—to move fluidly across borders and systems. And we ground it all in mindset: truth as an energy saver, intuition as a compass, and daily rituals that turn intent into action. Freedom is a paperwork skill and a discipline. Tap in to learn how to stop asking for permission and start setting terms.If this expanded your playbook, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a structure upgrade, and drop a review so we know which topic to dig into next.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

If Bitcoin is the ultimate opt-out, why can a single border guard still ruin your whole plan?Mike Peterson sits down with Alex Recouso to get into dual citizenship, second citizenship, and global mobility from a Bitcoin maxi point of view. Alex explains why 2020 was the moment the lesson clicked. Bitcoin gives you permissionless money, but your body still moves through checkpoints, visas, and policies that can change fast. That is where geopolitical risk stops being background noise and becomes a daily constraint.Alex breaks down Flag Theory in a way that fits how Bitcoiners think, treating your passport, tax residency, companies, and assets like separate flags. You place them in jurisdictions that protect your freedom, lower your dependency, and expand your options. It is the same mindset as self-custody, applied to citizenship and mobility.Then they go deep on citizenship by investment, including what countries ask for, how KYC and source of funds get tricky when your wealth is on-chain, and why some jurisdictions make Bitcoiners jump through extra hoops. If you have ever tried to explain to a bank that your “paystub” is a UTXO history, this part will feel familiar.They close by comparing the El Salvador passport (Freedom Passport) with other second citizenship paths like São Tomé and Príncipe and Saint Kitts and Nevis. The conversation covers cost, speed, scrutiny, embassy biometrics, and what you are buying when you pay more, time, access, or a country that shares your values.Subscribe, share, and comment, and if you have ever been hit with a surprise visa rule at the airport, drop it below so Mike can add it to his collection.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Alex Recouso and Citizen XX:  https://x.com/recousoX: https://x.com/CitizenXYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@recousoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@citizenxpodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexrecousoWebsite: https://recou.so/images/Website: https://citizenx.com/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro02:00 Why do Bitcoiners want a second passport for global mobility?08:30 How does citizenship by investment work if your wealth is in Bitcoin?13:05 Why is the US passport getting weaker?
