Is a European cruise worth it? We took the whole family on a 7-night Mediterranean cruise out of Rome aboard Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas — and on this episode of Mouse Chat we give you the honest answer: the magic, the heat, the lost luggage, and what we'd do differently next time. We sailed Rome → Santorini → Ephesus (Turkey) → Mykonos → Naples/Pompeii → Rome, and we get into the real tips that made (and almost broke) the trip: • Why you should ALWAYS arrive a day early — our lost-luggage story • The Santorini insider move: a water taxi to Oia that skips the 2-hour cable car line • Why a nighttime golf cart tour is the best way to see Rome • Private guides vs. big bus excursions (and why we'll pay extra every time) • Ephesus ruins, Turkish rugs, market haggling, and Pompeii • The honest verdict: a Mediterranean cruise is NOT a beach week — and the one itinerary mistake to avoid (don't stack 3 ports in a row!)

Japanese-owned meat processor Anzco Foods has acquired the Greenlea Group for $800 million, while apple exporter Crasborn Fresh Harvest faces imminent liquidation over unpaid taxes. Meanwhile, a leaked OIA request hints at internal turmoil at the FMA involving its outgoing CEO and suspended chair, coinciding with shareholder bickering ahead of Eroad's upcoming annual general meeting.

Nigel Antony Gray, a New Zealand researcher known for detailed Official Information Act (OIA) requests, discusses a recent police response that accused him of being “vexatious". The police say they are now actively monitoring his social media posts, and they have refused to give further information on the new compulsory roadside oral drug testing regime, which Gray was seeking further information about, including asking specifically about safety data.The conversation covers Gray's concerns about the clear lack of safety data on the roadside drug swabs and chemical fluids, and the potential long-term health risks these could entail. High false positive rates, and concerns about infringing upon the Bill Of Rights are other major concerns. As well as broader issues of police transparency, freedom of speech, and government accountability (or the lack therof...).Gray also shares insights into his analytical research methods and work on topics such as shipping emissions containing cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and the negative impacts of this pollution on New Zealand's atmospheric conditions.Links:Police now refusing OIA requests — and monitoring my Facebook posts?: https://www.facebook.com/groups/513077184341057/posts/1308987041416730/The Police are now reading my posts: https://www.facebook.com/nigel.gray.5/posts/pfbid02GDz2z6rcAKom21AY2QRCpmbbMpB1c8rwNia3hWNcxgBxASnNbJQDgmJTQMtEnwz5l?rdid=caIouLpMW1JifStZROAD SIDE Drug Testing Explained in Simple Terms: https://www.advancediagnostics.co.nz/road-side-drug-testing-explained-in-simple-terms/Bill Of Rights - Section 9: Right not to be subjected to torture or cruel treatment: https://nzccl.org.nz/bill-of-rights-act/section-9-right-not-to-be-subjected-to-torture-or-cruel-treatment/New Zealand Police - Drug screening test Info: https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-services/drugs-and-alcohol/roadside-drug-driving-testing/health-and-safety-and-privacySecurtec Saliva drug test DrugWipe: https://www.securetec.net/en/products/saliva-drug-test-drugwipe/Where do cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) come from?: https://courses.ems.psu.edu/meteo300/node/67191% of Kiwis over the age of 65 are on some form of medication: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/hannah-mcqueen-could-your-prescription-medication-be-speeding-up-your-decline/premium/AAPO74ZR45CPVIYO3TFHDVNQ6A/NEW ZEALAND PRO-SURVIVAL CHARTER: https://www.facebook.com/groups/945959371693458Nigel Antony Gray on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nigel.gray.5/Nigel on Substack: https://nigelgrayearthpulse.substack.comTo send a tip to Nigel for the important work he is doing:Name: Nigel Antony GrayAccount: 03-1771-0572896-00Support FreeNZ:Substack: https://freenz.substack.com/Locals: https://freenz.locals.comBuy Me A Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/supportfreenzKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/freenzhttps://freenz.carrd.coEmail: freenewzealand[at]protonmail[dot]com for bank account details.Affiliates:Dioxi Care - Chlorine Dioxide based Oral Care, Skin Care & Veterinary & Wound Care: https://frontierpharm.com/?sca_ref=9717384.brQladA5pgSnoot Spray - Chlorine Dioxide based Nasal Cleaner: https://www.snootspray.com/?sca_ref=9667634.AV2NJQvGlTBlock Blue Light - Red Light Glasses, Full Spectrum Lightbulbs & Sleep Tools to optimise your light environment and prioritise your wellbeing: https://www.blockbluelight.co.nz/?ref=FreeNZMediaWide Awake Media - Freedom T-Shirts: https://wideawake.clothing/en-nz?sca_ref=9458851.1aXfjvGDqL

Shane Jones’ controversial fisheries reform has been abandoned – for now. The Oceans and Fisheries Minister told a select committee today that his “much-loved bill” would not be progressed in this term of government. The Fisheries Amendment Bill had caused division within the coalition... changes to minimum legal-size limits for commercial fishing operators had to be walked back. Other changes included plans to block the public from obtaining footage of fish dumping under the OIA. Meanwhile, Jones has revealed that two orca were found dead as bycatch – the first recorded deaths of orcas in set nets in New Zealand.

Government agencies are being urged to proactively release more information and use artificial intelligence to respond to information requests, including OIA's. This comes after it was revealed that Government agencies spent $183.6 million answering requests in the 2024/25 financial year. Although, constitutional law expert Graeme Edgeler doesn't believe this number is necessarily accurate. He also told Andrew Dickens that the rise in OIA requests is not a bad thing. "A lot of which, I'm going to be honest, is really useful and helpful information for people to know, money that is being spent on things which seem like an awful lot of waste of money."

222: Santorini Secrets: Mediterranean Living at MIA'S Kiki goes on location to Greece to experience the Mediterranean Diet — Santorini style. Today's Lexi:  Μεζέ – Meze – Appetizers In Today's Episode: Join Kiki and Sellia, owner of Mia's Restaurant on the island of Santorini in Greece. Today you will love an authentic and vibrant conversation about the Mediterranean food that is prepared and crafted by an all-woman kitchen spearheaded by chef Ellie.  What is fava, and how versatile is it? What is the secret to Mia's village salad, and how did Sellia get to Santorini in the first place?  There's so much more to this conversation, so please tune in. Resources: Mia's Restaurant Cupitol Coffee Cupitol — The Restaurant About Sellia Sellia Georges is a third-generation restaurateur whose family has been part of Chicago's restaurant industry for more than 40 years. Growing up, she worked in her family's restaurants — JC Georges (opened in 1982), OPA Estiatorio, Portofino Italian, and Elly's Brunch Café — and later worked alongside her father on the opening of the Elly's 24-Hour concept in downtown Chicago in 2010.   Sellia considers Cupitol to be the evolution of Elly's, bringing together an easy-going European atmosphere with an all-day dining experience. She opened the first Cupitol Coffee & Eatery location in Evanston in 2016, followed by a second location in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood in 2017, and a third location featuring an expanded bakery in West Loop in 2021. Her vision was to create a versatile space where guests could enjoy breakfast or coffee with friends, a full meal, work at a communal table or lounge, or simply grab a cold-pressed juice to go. Her Greek heritage is reflected throughout Cupitol, from the relaxed lounge atmosphere to the menu, which features house-made pastries, specialty roasted coffee, and creative cocktails.   Sellia's next concept brought her back to her roots with the opening of MIA'S Restaurant in Oia, Santorini, where her ancestors were born. Conceived during the pandemic, MIA'S has since become one of the most beloved restaurants in Oia, offering comforting yet elevated Greek cuisine through a modern, seasonal lens.   Most recently, in December 2024, she launched Cupitol The Restaurant, an expanded evolution of the Cupitol concept and the brand's fourth location. Her goal was to create an accessible all-day restaurant serving delicious, high-quality food and drinks for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner at approachable prices. In addition to the signature Cupitol offerings, the restaurant features a specially curated dinner menu designed exclusively for this concept.   Alongside her extensive hospitality experience, Sellia holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Kingston University and a master's degree in Psychology from University of Essex.

Last week I started my editorial with: ‘Well, it was a rather chaotic, eventful week in politics wasn't it', and went on to speak about how I thought it was a mistake that the Prime Minister has decided to decline appearing in a weekly spot on TVNZ's Breakfast. But it appears that ‘chaotic' and ‘eventful' is likely to be how we're going to describe the next 27 weeks until the election, if the coalition can hold itself together through to November. The nonsense and the scheming this week included what could quite possibly have been a leaked story about embattled TVNZ reporter Maiki Sherman, lawyers letters flying between media companies keen to report the juicy details, Winston Peters releasing emails under an OIA request revealing the Prime Minister's potentially damaging views on the US war against Iran, and a feisty retaliation by the National Party on NZ First. All I could think at the end of this week was - surely both the media and politicians can do better. I get it - everyone is coming out firing on all cylinders - that's what you've got to do in election year. National has a new campaign leader and communications adviser, and I am sure many National voters like the new fighting spirit being shown by the Nats. After all, the Foreign Affairs Minister was out of line this week. But with Winston Peters stating, 'No, we won't do a deal with Labour or their Marxist and separatist mates', then you'd think that having ruled out being part of an opposing coalition there would be some shared effort to sell this one to voters. The number of people who this week said to me, 'I don't want to vote for any of them' was a bit of a surprise. Civility is often put aside during an election year, and yet I think it's what most of us are craving right now. We'd like the people we have entrusted to run the country to act like grown-ups and get on with the job without the backstabbing. Budget month is going to be tough, and yet all National and the coalition have to do to sell this budget is deliver it straight-up. We all know the story - whatever economic recovery and confidence we were gaining heading into 2026 has been wiped out by decisions made elsewhere in the world. It's not just our story - it's happening everywhere. This week, the Bank of England warned inflation could hit 6.2 percent in the UK by early 2027, and food prices could rise by 6-7 percent by the end of this year. In Australia inflation rose to 4.6 percent in March, with an expectation it will peak higher with consumer prices now growing at their fastest pace in two and a half years. No. It's not the economic recovery story National was hoping to campaign on, but with little policy or innovation coming from the Labour Party there is an opportunity to double down on their fiscally responsible approach to managing the economy. The revelation of Christopher Luxon's support for the war wrecking our economy - isn't helpful for him. But what would be more damaging is having coalition party leaders calling out each other for poor judgement over the coming months. Luxon has done a good job keeping the coalition together, but if they're going to spend the next 6 months sabotaging each other rather than continuing to work on how they can come together on policy, selling the budget will be the least of National's problems.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Anna Rawhiti-Connell and Mike Yardley. First up, so-called coalition cracks are back in focus after Winston Peters' office released internal emails in an OIA where Prime Minister Christopher Luxon suggested showing "explicit public support" for US strikes on Iran. Political analyst Grant Duncan unpacks the latest. Then, Northland locals are decrying a proposed $4.50 toll for the new expressway. Business group board member Julian Smith explains.

It's Politics Thursday and Nick is joined by Labour MP Ayesha Verrall and National MP and Cabinet Minister Mike Butterick. Emails between Winston Peters and the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon were released by NZ First through the OIA. They show that Peters talked down Luxon over his initial call to support the US strikes on Iran. There has since been some public beef between the two - Nick asks our politicians who is really in charge with the coalition, and have to gloves truly come off now? Also on the agenda is Luxon cancelling his scheduled media appearances on Breakfast, alcohol in the beehive and the Maiki Sherman event and when will we see some policy from Labour?

This was always going to happen. The closer you get to the election, the more your friends become your enemies under MMP. Winston's office released OIA docs showing Luxon's people wanted to go further in supporting Trump's war in Iran. The Foreign Minister's office and MFAT, in their wisdom, cautioned against it. For what most of us would probably understand to be good reasons. This was straight after the war began. This is a story in the Herald this morning: A spokesman for Peters said Luxon's support for the war was “imprudent” and would have “run counter to New Zealand's national interests”. “Experience matters in foreign policy.” Then, last night, there were talks between the PM and Foreign Minster. Luxon's hitting back, he's saying the emails mischaracterised his position. He's saying the release of the emails puts politics ahead of the national interest. So, as you can see, quite the mess. The problem here is for Luxon, not for Peters. Luxon is the one who has struggled to articulate himself on the war. Peters has not. Luxon is the one who's support has been falling in the polls. Peters is the opposite. Luxon is the one who's been there five minutes. Peters has not. If you were to poll Kiwis and ask 'who do you trust more on matters of foreign affairs and war?', I imagine after 40 years in Parliament and a few runs at the job, Peters would come out on top. Trying to put Peters in his place is hard enough to do at the best of times. Trying to do it with one hand tied behind your back, the crowd cheering for your opponent, on a stage that's unfamiliar to you, is probably not going to end well.

On Thursday afternoon, almost 300 pages of police emails, text messages and documents were released about the Tom Phillips Netflix documentary, following an Official Information Act request. What was released raises real questions about the appropriateness of the relationship and communication between police and the production company - and whether the doco should be made at all. The planned Netflix documentary sits right in the middle of the tension between public interest storytelling, and the welfare of vulnerable children. It is not just a media issue - the information that was released poses legal, ethical, and social questions. On one hand, there is a clear argument for the documentary to go ahead. The Phillips case gripped the nation: three children were missing for nearly four years before being recovered after a violent police confrontation in 2025. A documentary could provide transparency, explain police decision-making, and help the public understand how such a prolonged disappearance was able to happen. From the production company perspective a documentary is a good business opportunity. Global true-crime documentaries sell, and this story has undeniable international appeal. Producer Dame Julie Christie isn't one to sit around discussing placing levy's on streaming services, rather she believes in producing globally appealing content they will buy. So, it was no surprise to learn this doco would be broadcast on Netflix - Christie has always walked the talk. However, the OIA documents complicate things. They show that filmmakers were granted unusually high levels of access to police operations, including briefings and access to a crime scene, in what could be seen as an exchange for police oversight of the final product. This raises two concerns. First, it risks turning the documentary into what critics describe as “police PR,” rather than an independent account. The police have final sign off on the editing of the documentary, which implies they have a certain amount of control over the narrative. Second, it suggests the production company was given privileges beyond what is typical for media. The production company was given a heads up about Philip's death before his family or the media, which the Police Commissioner Richard Chambers has expressed regret for. The Commissioner also added that the documentary was not always handled in line with the usual protocols and processes that apply to documentaries police are involved in. That's not on the production company, which clearly built a good working relationship with police and were just doing their job when asking for co-operation and access. If it's granted, they're not going to turn it down. But where most New Zealanders will be wary of this documentary is when it comes to the welfare of the children. Experts and family members have already warned that a film could retraumatise them, particularly given their prolonged isolation and the ongoing process of reintegration. There are court injunctions limiting what can be reported, signalling that the legal system prioritises their protection over public disclosure. But if there was not this documentary there will only be another one - or a book, or articles. Everyone has an opinion on this story; the interest won't go away. The Police Commissioner said, “There were strict conditions in place to protect the children and sensitive police operational information,” Let's hope that's the case.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Santorini's Hidden Beauty: Friendship Beyond the Lens Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-03-14-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Santorini tavaszi reggelén a nap sugarai incselkedve játszottak a fehér falakon és a kék kupolákon.En: On a spring morning in Santorini, the sun's rays playfully danced on the white walls and blue domes.Hu: A smaragdzöld tenger lágy hullámokat vetett a parti sziklákra.En: The emerald-green sea gently lapped against the shore's rocks.Hu: Leventének, Rékának és Ágotának ez a nap ígéretesen kezdődött.En: For Levente, Réka, and Ágota, this day began with promise.Hu: A három barát izgalommal teli szívvel készülődött, hogy felfedezzék a sziget rejtett szépségeit.En: The three friends, hearts full of excitement, prepared to discover the island's hidden beauties.Hu: Levente, kamera a kezében, eltökélten keresett egy egyedülálló nézőpontot, amely újra felkeltette volna régi lelkesedését.En: Levente, with a camera in hand, was determined to find a unique perspective that would reignite his old enthusiasm.Hu: Réka, az antik történelem lelkes csodálója, mosolyogva követte őt.En: Réka, a devoted admirer of ancient history, followed him with a smile.Hu: Mindig ő volt a legtámogatóbb, nemcsak Levente munkájában hitt, de titkon a szívében magában is bízott.En: She had always been the most supportive, not only believing in Levente's work but secretly trusting in herself too.Hu: Rá akarta ébreszteni Leventét, mennyire fontos neki.En: She wanted to make Levente realize how important he was to her.Hu: Ágota pedig, aki mindent meg akart osztani blogján, érdeklődve tekintett körbe, hogy mesés történeteket találjon.En: Meanwhile, Ágota, who wanted to share everything on her blog, looked around curiously to find enchanting stories.Hu: A nap előrehaladtával a csapat Oia keskeny utcácskáin sétált.En: As the day progressed, the team strolled through the narrow streets of Oia.Hu: Minden sarkon újabb csoda és kihívás várta őket.En: At every corner, a new wonder and challenge awaited them.Hu: Levente és Ágota között tapintható volt a rivalizálás feszültsége.En: The tension of rivalry between Levente and Ágota was palpable.Hu: Mindketten ugyanazt az utánozhatatlan pillanatot keresték.En: Both sought the same inimitable moment.Hu: De Levente számára most többet jelentett ez a kép – egy lehetőséget, hogy ismét érezze a szenvedélyt hivatása iránt.En: But for Levente, the image meant more than ever—a chance to once again feel passionate about his profession.Hu: Miközben a hegyi ösvény mentén haladtak, észleltek egy masszív viharfelhőt, ami lassan Santorini fölé kúszott.En: While they walked along the mountain path, they noticed a massive storm cloud slowly creeping over Santorini.Hu: Levente, elragadtatva a pillanattól, elmerészkedett egy elhagyatott sziklára, ahonnan fantasztikus kilátás nyílt a kalderára.En: Enthralled by the moment, Levente ventured onto an abandoned rock from which there was a fantastic view of the caldera.Hu: Réka aggódva figyelte, és kérte, hogy térjen vissza biztonságba.En: Réka watched anxiously and urged him to return to safety.Hu: Az érkező vihar gyors döntést követelt tőle.En: The impending storm demanded a quick decision from him.Hu: "Levente, vigyázz magadra," szólt Réka, hangjából aggodalom csengett.En: "Levente, be careful," Réka called out, her voice tinged with concern.Hu: A fotós azonban érezte, hogy most vagy soha.En: However, the photographer felt it was now or never.Hu: Amint a szél megkavarta a levegőt és az esőcseppek megérkeztek, Levente elővette kameráját.En: As the wind stirred the air and raindrops arrived, Levente took out his camera.Hu: Majd, csodák csodájára, az égbolt tisztulni kezdett.En: Then, miraculously, the sky began to clear.Hu: A nap újból előbukkant, és egy feltűnő szivárvány ívesen jelent meg a kaldera fölött.En: The sun reappeared, and a striking rainbow boldly arched over the caldera.Hu: Levente elkapta a pillanatot.En: Levente captured the moment.Hu: A kamera kattant, és a kép tökéletes lett.En: The camera clicked, and the picture was perfect.Hu: Szinte kézzel fogható volt számára az újraélesztett szenvedélye.En: He could almost touch the reignited passion within him.Hu: Réka és Ágota visszatértek mellé, és együtt csodálták a lenyűgöző tájat.En: Réka and Ágota returned to his side, and together they admired the stunning landscape.Hu: A nap végére Levente nemcsak szakmai önbizalmat nyert vissza, hanem felismerte Réka támogatásának valódi értékét.En: By the end of the day, Levente not only regained his professional confidence but also recognized the true value of Réka's support.Hu: Megértette, hogy nemcsak a fókuszára kell figyelnie, hanem a barátok fontosságát is értékelnie kell.En: He understood that he needed not only to focus on his work but also to appreciate the importance of friendship.Hu: Santorini naplementéjében, Réka felé fordulva, a kihívások és a gyönyörűség amidőn mosolyogva nézett rá, Levente tudta, hogy megtalálta amit keresett – nem csupán egy képet, hanem valami sokkal mélyebbet is.En: In the sunset of Santorini, turning to Réka, as he looked at her amidst the challenges and beauty with a smile, Levente knew he found what he was looking for—not just a photo, but something much deeper.

We all seem to be suffering from Long Covid. It's lingering as the findings of the second phase of the Covid-19 response inquiry were released yesterday. And what its findings were pretty much depends on what media you read. According to RNZ, it found the Government's response was effective but late and not communicated well enough to people. From Newsroom: ‘Lockdown, vaccine decisions considered and appropriate, Royal Commission'. So looking at that headline, you'd think nothing to see here, no criticisms, excellent, well done. ‘Covid-19 inquiry commission criticises length of Auckland lockdown and government spending' – that's from the New Zealand Herald. Maybe read it yourself and see what you think. It's on publicly available on websites. There are video explainers, there are findings there. See for yourself. If you were anti-the infantilisation of the country, as I was, you will read it and wonder why the commission was so temperate in its findings. If you believed the Government was your saviour and without their instructions you would have died, you will read the excuses and the findings and nod along and say, “Yes, didn't we do well?" The second phase of the inquiry tested whether the Government took a balanced approach and found overall it largely did, but said the public was not brought on board —maybe they didn't want to be on board, maybe they could start to see through the nonsense— and the public must be brought on board in the next pandemic. One of the 24 recommendations made yesterday said that there should be more open decision making in future around the impacts on people's isolation, health, and incomes. And that's really, really important because surely, we must be allowed to question decisions, we must be able to debate them and argue against them without being considered treasonous or a conspiracy theorist or a granny killer. Look what happened when then leader of the National Party Simon Bridges grilled Ashley Bloomfield over the Ministry of Health's decision-making transparency and data at the Covid Response Select Committee hearing. In effect, just by daring to question the Director General of Health, just by asking him some tough questions, he lost his job. Cost him the job as leader of the National Party. We have to be able to question and debate, even if the decisions are ultimately the Government's based on the best possible advice. The report confirmed, as reported at the time, that the Auckland lockdown in late 2021 went on six days longer than recommended by Ashley Bloomfield. I think Aucklanders would argue it went on six weeks longer than it should have, but hey ho, there we go. That's what they found. It also found that advice from health experts that under 18s in work shouldn't be mandated to have two vaccine doses because of the risk of cardiac myocarditis wasn't followed. Another finding was that the Auckland Northland border stayed in place over the 2021/22 Christmas period when it was advised it could be reopened. There was also criticism of the then Labour Government's economic approach, saying policies around stimulus and inflation became unaligned from mid ‘21. For unaligned, I'd have put unhinged, but again, hey ho, it's their report. And that was despite the best advice from Treasury that spending must be temperate, timely, and targeted. The people of New Zealand are now vulnerable for at least the next 40 years to another shock, another pandemic, an earthquake. We're built on the shaky isles, you know, there's bound to be another, and we are now really vulnerable because too much money was not just spent but wasted by the previous Labour Government. And it's not just Treasury or the Inquiry that have pointed the finger at Labour for their financial sloppiness. Auditor General John Ryan, as he was then, heavily criticised the $15 billion infrastructure spend up during the pandemic. He said he decided to look at the funding because of the scale of the investment and the potential intergenerational impacts. His criticism and list of failings by officials and ministers are many. This is from a man who could ask the hard questions and get the answers that he needed to get, unlike journos who had to go through the OIA to get any kind of answers to any pertinent questions. They were far too busy saving lives to give answers to genuine questions around lockdowns, around vaccinations, around mandates and the like. But even with the hard data in front of them, Chris Hipkins and the like just recycle the “it's hard to be sorry when you've saved lives" trope. The inquiry finishes: “These lessons do not detract from the overall success of the pandemic response. Indeed, our findings, lessons, and recommendations are offered in the hope that they will assist decision makers to be as successful in fighting a pandemic in the future." Well, with what you know now, do you believe that the response was a success? Do you believe that when all is said and done and you look at other countries and they've done their reports, it was a success? I'll be talking to an economic policy analyst from Sweden, I spoke to him before the show and we'll be playing that next hour. They've conducted a rigorous review of their response and, you know, given the choice next time, I think that's the one we should be following. And certainly, Europe would be looking long and hard at it. Despite Sweden coming under so much criticism and heavy fire for having a light touch and open policy, they had the lowest death rate amongst all the European countries. So, there are alternatives, there are options. This is not the way, the truth, and the light. And I don't think it's treasonous or misogynist or conspiracy theoretical to say there is another way of doing things and, do you know what, it might actually be better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They wrap up by discussing the OIA method of Observation, Interpretation, and Application.

It's been revealed thousands of shoplifting cases were not investigated by police after officers were directed to file away cases under certain financial thresholds. The directive was reversed after RNZ revealed leaked details and the Prime Minister, retailers and the Police Coimssioner himself expressed concerns, saying the order was confusing and unhelpful. An OIA released to RNZ shows that during the nine weeks the contrversial directive was in force thousands of crimes were not forwarded for investigation. National Crime Correspondent Sam Sherwood spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode, Hazel welcomes Talos researcher Ashley Shen to discuss the evolution of initial access brokers (IABs) and the importance of distinguishing between different types of IABs. We talk about the need for a new taxonomy to categorize IABs into three types: financially motivated (FIA), state-sponsored (SIA), and opportunistic (OIA) initial access groups. This taxonomy aims to improve threat modeling and defense strategies by providing a clearer understanding of the motivations and behaviors of different IABs. For more details, check out the blog that Ashley co-authored with other Talos researchers https://blog.talosintelligence.com/redefining-initial-access-brokers/

→ 20% off Duncan and Stone's keepsake journals→ Our Children's Bible recommendations→ Prayer CalendarAnxiety is often a companion for many mothers, especially in today's world of ever-changing information and the overwhelming pressure to "get everything just right." In this episode of The Mind of a Child, we offer faith-filled wisdom for anxious moms including practical strategies, journaling tips, and the reminder that God gently leads those who are raising young children.With real-life stories, scripture reflections, and a powerful framework for reframing fear, this episode equips moms to shift their focus from worldly worry to Godly peace and trust that He has already equipped them for the journey of motherhood.Episode Highlights[00:00:00] – What young moms are worrying about today[00:05:00] – The "blessing" of anxiety[00:09:00] – Practical journaling methods: SOAP, OIA, topical studies, gratitude, reflection[00:20:00] – Bible verses to root your heart in peace: Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 139, and more[00:25:00] – Listener question: How to create a quiet time with a 4-year-old3 TakeawaysAnxiety in motherhood is not a flaw but a signal—an invitation to draw near to God. When we reframe anxiety as a call to communion with Christ rather than something to avoid or fix ourselves, we shift from fear to faith.Journaling is a powerful spiritual tool that helps mothers process truth, hear from God, and retain His promises. Whether using prompts like SOAP or simply pouring out your heart, journaling slows the mind and centers the spirit on what is eternal.Quiet time is not limited to solitude or silence. Whether with a 4-year-old by your side or in the midst of chores, building rhythms of Scripture, prayer, and worship—even in simple ways—can bring peace into the chaos of motherhood.Please send us your questions if you'd like to have them discussed on the podcast: themindofachildpodcast@gmail.com The Mind of a Child is an early child development podcast that exists to encourage and equip parents to raise their kids to love God and love others.
