2. In a world that often feels complex, simple faith may be more relevant than ever. Following God isn't about rules, regulations, or a list of “have-tos” and “can't dos.” We have a tendency to complicate what is meant to be simple. Yet, Jesus provided us with a clear and straightforward guide for how we should live His way. Let's dive into that together with guest speaker from Churches of Christ Queensland – Ben Pearson.Ben lives in Townsville, North Queensland, and serves as a regional engagement partner for Churches of Christ Queensland. He has led two churches as both Lead and Senior Pastor and enjoys motorbikes and water sports. Ben is married to Terrena, and together they have three children, a daughter-in-law, and, as of last year, welcomed their first grandchild.If you enjoyed this sermon please consider subscribing.CONNECT WITH US Instagram: www.instagram.com/humeridgechurch Facebook: www.facebook.com/humeridgechurch YouTube: www.youtube.com/humeridgechurchHave you made a decision to follow Jesus?

Dengue fever is in the news right now after the death of a young Samoan boy at Starship Hospital last week. As many New Zealanders travel to the Pacific Islands, the recent outbreak means it's something to consider. The other interesting fact about dengue fever is as well as being relevant to the Pacific, it's becoming more common around the world due to climate change – increasing temperature and humidity driving mosquito population and leading to more people being infected. What is it? A mosquito-spread virus. You get it when a mosquito bites you that is infected with dengue fever. Unlike malaria, it's carried by the small mosquitoes that come out during the day. Not the evening/early morning mosquitoes that typically carry malaria. It's becoming more common around the world with climate change – with hotter more humid temperatures. Endemic in Pacific, which is presently going through an outbreak. Can actually now be found in places like far North Queensland. It could it reach New Zealand one day – possibly with climate change. What happens if you are bitten by a mosquito carrying dengue fever? Symptoms occur 4-10 days after the mosquito bite. Typical symptoms: High fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint aches (has been referred to as ‘break bone fever'), nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. Often people recover after 1-2 weeks. Severe form is called haemorrhagic fever with bleeding, cardiovascular shock, and sometimes death. Typically occurs when you get an infection a second time – not the first. What can we do treat it? Important: There is no vaccine to prevent the disease, once you have it there is no treatment. Just treat the symptoms: Paracetamol, not ibuprofen or aspirin as this can increase bleeding risk. Plenty of fluids and rest. A majority will get better, however, if symptoms are severe, you need to see a doctor and may need the hospital. How do we prevent it? Be aware that Pacific destinations Fiji, Tonga and Samoa have had recent outbreaks. Outbreaks are often every 2-5 years with year-round risk. Resorts often put in place protocols to reduce/eliminate mosquitoes. If mosquitoes are around, protect against getting bitten with insect repellents, long sleeve shorts/pants, and mosquito nets.

In this episode, we explore the deeply rooted and culturally rich world of First Nations healthcare in Australia with Dr Sarah Chalmers; Rural Generalist, former President of the Australian College of Remote and Rural Medicine (ACRRM), and President-Elect of the Rural Doctors Association of Australia.With over 15 years of experience working in East Arnhem Land and North Queensland, Sarah shares a powerful and personal insight into what it truly means to deliver care in remote First Nations communities, where connection to land, kinship, and culture profoundly shape every aspect of medicine.Together, we unpack the realities of working in low-resource environments, navigating environmental extremes, and building trust within culturally diverse and remote communities. Sarah speaks candidly about the ongoing impact of racism, the importance of cultural competence, and the role of traditional healing in creating meaningful, community-led healthcare.This conversation goes beyond clinical care to explore what it means to listen deeply, communicate with cultural humility, and show up for patients in ways that respect and honour their lived experience. It's an emotional, honest, and essential discussion for anyone working in (or curious about) remote and rural medicine.This episode is part of our ACRRM series, spotlighting rural and remote healthcare professionals making a difference at the very edges of medicine.ACRRM acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the custodians of the lands and waters where our members and staff work and live across Australia. We pay respect to their elders, lores, customs and dreaming. We recognise these lands and waters have always been a place of teaching, learning, and healing.⁠Learn more about ACRRM here.#RemoteMedicine #RuralHealthcare #FirstNationsHealth #CulturalCompetence #RuralMedicineAustralia #IndigenousHealth #CommunityLedCare #HealthcareAccess #CulturalHumility #ACRRM #MedicalPodcast #WEMPodcast #AustralianHealthcare

Headlines: Labor imposes counter-terrorism sanctions on online neo-Nazi network for the first time, North Queensland floods update, trade war looming over Trump’s tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, and The Grammys are on today. Deep Dive: In the 2010s ISIS became one of the world’s biggest terror groups, controlling almost one-third of Syria and around half of Iraq. Over the years the group has claimed responsibility for terrorist attacks across the globe, including those in Paris in 2015, Berlin in 2016, and Manchester at an Ariana Grande concert the year after. Since 2018 the group’s influence has felt quieter, claiming less responsibility for attacks but that has changed. In 2024 we saw Russia’s deadliest terror attack in over two decades – which ISIS took responsibility for – and on New Year's Day, an ISIS-inspired attack killed 14 people and injured dozens more in New Orleans. So, is ISIS having a resurgence? In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by Michael Ware, a man who witnessed the birth of ISIS firsthand and is the only western journalist to escape one of their beheading attempts, to explain how we got here, if he thinks ISIS is having a resurgence, and if Australia is ready for a possible terror attack from the group.

Are 10,000 property investors all making the same mistake? In today’s episode, we have a chat with Redom Syed from Confidence Finance about something that’s affecting a lot of property investors today: groupthink. We talk about what happens when investors all start following the same trends and whether that’s helping or hurting them in the long run. Redom shares his take on the risks of this kind of herd mentality, especially when buyers’ agents are driving up demand in certain areas. We also take a closer look at how investor behaviour has shifted over the years, and why focusing solely on areas with momentum might not always be the smartest play. What happens when rental yields start to fall, or when the market slows down? How do investors shift their focus without getting caught up in the crowd? Redom talks about why local knowledge in places like North Queensland or Perth is so critical and how it can make a huge difference when it comes to finding the right investment opportunities. We don’t just talk about the risks, though. We also offer solid advice on how to capitalise on groupthink without falling victim to it. From leveraging rezoning opportunities to structuring your credit smartly to maximise borrowing capacity, Redom shares strategies that go beyond just following the herd. In the end, Redom’s biggest tip for anyone in the property game is simple: don’t just go with the flow because everyone else is. There’s a smarter way to go about the property market, and this conversation is full of ideas on how you can do just that. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:08 - Who is Redom Syed? 03:18 - How Redom got into exploring groupthink in property investment 05:38 - What are the risks of buyer’s agents driving up demand in specific areas? 08:10 - What if investors shift focus due to falling rental yields? 10:29 - For North Queensland or Perth purchases, is local expertise on property essential? 17:07 - How has investor behaviour evolved in the property market over 10 years? 25:42 - Redom’s biggest tip on capitalising on groupthink in real estate 28:04 - Redom’s top investment strategies beyond momentum investing 40:06 - Where are the best opportunities under Sydney’s medium density housing code? 43:06 - Strategy to leverage rezoning opportunities or planning changes for property investment 45:46 - How to maximise your borrowing capacity through smart credit structuring 48:47 - Redom’s insights about valuations and borrowing capacity for new investors 53:36 - Redom’s biggest advice for everyone about property About Our Guest: Redom Syed is a 7x MPA Magazine Top 100 Mortgage Broker in Australia and the founder of Confidence Finance. Raised in a loving family, his life took a turn when both of his parents lost their jobs, leading to the repossession of their family home.

These findings, reported in Nature, challenge existing models of galaxy formation and suggest a more efficient star formation process in the early universe.*Signs of an Ancient Martian OceanChina's Mars rover, Zhurong, may have found evidence supporting the theory that Mars' northern hemisphere was once covered by a vast ocean.

Warwick Powell discusses the East versus West conflict which is largely a symptom of the underlying economic transformations underway. There is a massive disconnect between the economy of exchange value and use value in the West which has led to a hollowing out of the economy resulting in political crises. The Global North feel their "distributional setup" is under threat and so the only way to stem the tide is to impose a set of militarily enforceable arrangements to deny the Global South the ability to become capable of creating value. Russia and China are better at harnessing AI, particularly to drive production efficiencies. He comments on currency multipolarity, dedollarization, Digital Westphalia, and describes the suspension of liberties in the West as an autoimmune response. Regarding the Algorithm Ghetto, there is slippage meaning it can't be implemented perfectly and technology inevitably brings with it possibilities of all sorts of resistance. The West is going to step up its Color Revolution-style regime change operations. Multipolarity is about the reassertion of sovereignty and an increased interoperability of states. The world is tired of Western hegemony and now has the courage and means to confront it. The challenge will be to avoid kinetic conflict.
