 How did a small band of Norman soldiers in 1170 begin 800 years of English control over Ireland?  It started as a deal between rival Irish kings. It ended in plantation, dispossession, and a divided island.  This is the story of how a short-term alliance became a centuries-long occupation, and why it still shapes politics in Ireland today.  Anglo-Normans enter Ireland: Diarmait seeks Strongbow's help. Henry II claims authority; Dublin-centred foothold established. The Pale forms; Normans adopt Irish ways, Old English. Henry VIII breaks with Rome; declares himself King of Ireland. Surrender and regrant changes land and inheritance rules. Elizabeth I's conquest; Nine Years' War threatens English control. Battle of Kinsale defeat; O'Neill's submission follows. Flight of the Earls ends Gaelic political power. Plantation of Ulster seeds division leading to later partition. Cromwell's massacres; “To Hell or to Connacht” resettlement.

 When Thomas Aikenhead was hanged in 1697 for questioning the Bible, it was the last time someone was executed for blasphemy in Britain. But it didn't mean that debates around blasphemy went away.  In this episode, we'll trace the history of blasphemy in Britain, and discover how debates about insulting religion still shape British law and public life today.  Thomas Aikenhead: last execution for blasphemy in Britain, 1697. Blasphemy's Greek roots: harmful speech, not originally religious. Church and Crown fused; blasphemy protected political order. Percy Shelley expelled for publishing The Necessity of Atheism. Richard Carlile imprisoned for publishing Paine's The Age of Reason. 1977 Gay News case: editor convicted for blasphemous poem. Life of Brian controversy showed debate still alive. Blasphemy law protected Christianity only; Muslims unprotected during Rushdie. 2008 abolition followed debate: protect people, not ideas. Tahir Ali proposed new blasphemy law; government rejected.

I sat down with Tamari Jacob, Certified Lactation Consultant and founder of One With The Pump, and we had the best chat about all things pumping and breastfeeding.Tamari knows the pumping journey inside and out - she exclusively pumped for her first baby for 10 months after he wouldn't latch, and she's been helping moms make pumping suck a whole lot less ever since. We talked about the emotional side of feeding your baby (hello, grief and rejection when it doesn't go as planned), why finding the right lactation consultant is everything, and how the system sometimes works against us.Tamari dropped three powerful, game-changing tips whether you're exclusively pumping or mixing pumping with breastfeeding:Size your flanges correctly - Most pumps come with the wrong sizes (21, 24, or 28 mm), but most moms need something much smaller like 13–18 mm. This one thing can stop pain and low output fast!Pumping is not free - Invest a little in the right tools (extra parts, a good bra, a wearable, a milk chiller) to make your life so much easier. You don't have to suffer with just the bare minimum.Get real education and support - Breastfeeding and pumping are NOT as “natural” as everyone says. Learn from someone who actually specializes in pumping (not every LC does!).We also got real about hospital lactation consultants, baby-friendly policies, mom guilt, and how preparation before baby comes can save you so much heartache later.If you're planning to pump, struggling with your pump, or just want to feel more confident, you need to hear this episode.More from Tamari Jacob, CLC: Use this link to get 10% off The Ultimate Pumping CourseWebsite: onewiththepump.comInstagram, TikTok, FaceBook, YouTube & Pinterest: @onewiththepumpHelpful Timestamps:00:00 Pumping Made Easier04:02 Why Tamari Started Pumping11:51 Top Tips Start Flange Fit12:49 Gear That Makes It Easier15:31 Finding the Right Lactation Help18:32 Hospital Lactation Reality22:38 How to Work With Tamari24:29 Prep Before LaborJoin The Calm Labor Birth Bundle - everything you need from bump to baby!

 In 2016, a 21-year-old American student was arrested in North Korea after allegedly stealing a political poster.  Weeks later, he appeared in a strange public confession and was sentenced to fifteen years of hard labour.  Seventeen months on, he returned home in a coma, raising disturbing questions about what really happened behind closed doors.  Otto Warmbier detained at Pyongyang airport after tour.

Spring climbing season is here—and it's time to translate all those winter training gains into real performance on the rock. In this episode, Eric Hörst shares 15 practical mindset and strategy tips to help you climb your best this season. While physical strength matters, experienced climbers know that mindset, decision-making, strategy, and emotional resilience often determine whether you send or fall short. These quick but powerful ideas will help you approach training, projecting, and performance with greater clarity and purpose. Apply even a few of these insights consistently, and you may find yourself climbing with more confidence, better focus, and improved results this season.

European climbers, please get your PhysiVantage from the  EPIC-TV Shop or Oliunid.com. Mexican climbers visit PhysiVantage.mx Key Takeaways from This Episode 1. Separate Outcomes from Identity Results are feedback—not a judgment of your worth. Treat success and failure like a scientist treats data: information that helps guide your next attempt. 2. Care Deeply, But Stay Detached Commit fully to preparation and effort, but let go of rigid expectations. Peak performance happens when you care—but remain mentally loose. 3. Widen Your Perspective Fear narrows perception. When frustration or anxiety creeps in, step back and consider the bigger picture of your climbing journey. 4. Recognize Self-Sabotage Many self-defeating behaviors stem from fear of failure. Notice the pattern and commit fully—remove the escape routes. 5. Design Your Environment Your surroundings influence behavior more than willpower. Set up your environment so good choices become automatic. 6. Build Confidence with Evidence Confidence comes from past effort and experience. Remember the training sessions, challenges, and setbacks you've already overcome. 7. Stay Calm Under Pressure True toughness is the ability to make clear decisions when stress rises. Pause, breathe, and choose the next smart action. 8. Align Effort with Purpose Grinding through pain isn't always productive. Growth comes from intentional stress followed by proper recovery. 9. Pursue Mastery, Not Just Metrics Grades and performance numbers are useful indicators—but mastery of movement, skill, and understanding is the real long-term goal. 10. Break Plateaus with Novelty When progress stalls, change something. Train in a new place, climb with new partners, or modify your routine to spark fresh momentum. 11. Choose Tradeoffs Intentionally You can't do everything at once. Decide what matters most this season and accept the tradeoffs required to pursue it. 12. Consistency Beats Intensity Big breakthroughs rarely come from a single heroic effort. Progress is built through consistent, focused sessions over time. 13. Use Checkpoints Break large goals into smaller, achievable steps. Mini-goals provide feedback, motivation, and a sense of progress. 14. Find the Performance Sweet Spot The best training happens just beyond comfort—but short of overwhelm. When challenge and skill align, the flow state emerges. 15. Recovery Completes the Cycle Stress only drives adaptation when it's followed by recovery. Prioritize sleep, nutrition, rest days, and periodic deloads. Final Thoughts Climbing your best isn't just about strong fingers or hours spent training. It's about bringing together physical preparation, mental resilience, and strategic decision-making. The tips in this episode are simple—but powerful when practiced consistently. Show up prepared, stay curious, remain patient with the process, and keep refining your approach. Over time, those small improvements compound—and the sends will come. ⭐ Enjoy the podcast? Leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts and share this episode with a climbing partner!

If you run a home service business and want to close more jobs without sounding desperate or pushy, this episode is for you. After walking 15,000+ properties over 15 years, Keith breaks down the exact sales behaviors that consistently turn quotes into signed deals — whether it's a $500 job or a $15,000 one. No scripts. No manipulation. Just confidence, clarity, and reps. This episode is packed with real-world stories from landscaping, window cleaning, and service businesses — including close calls, funny moments, and the mindset shifts that separate stressed operators from calm closers.   "Don't talk like you want the job. Talk like the job is already happening." – Keith Kalfas   What You'll Learn in This Episode: The Assumptive Close Stop hoping you get the job. Start assuming it's already happening — from your language, to your body language, to how you move on the property. Keith explains how physically engaging with the work (yes, even grabbing a shovel) changes the customer's certainty instantly.   Sell Outcomes, Not Tasks Customers don't care about mulch depth, blade angles, or plant species. They care about one thing: "Is this going to look good?" Keith explains how certainty transfers — and why confidence sells faster than technical details. The Two-Option Close (and Why You Need a High-Ticket Offer) Give customers two clear paths: The "everything included" option The "still looks amazing" option This simple structure reframes price, increases perceived value, and often nudges clients toward higher-ticket jobs — even if they didn't expect it.   Say the Price… Then Shut Up One of the most uncomfortable — and powerful — sales moves. Keith explains why silence after the price lets the customer sell themselves… and how over-explaining kills deals.   Control the Frame If you're unsure, they feel unsure. If you're calm and certain, they relax. Keith shares how confidence is built through reps, mistakes, and surviving the hard seasons — and why customers always buy certainty.   Key Takeaways: Confidence closes more deals than technique. Sales works best when you stop trying to "perform" and start acting like the work is routine. When you assume the job is already happening, your tone relaxes, your body language settles, and you stop chasing approval. Customers pick up on that calm immediately and interpret it as experience and trustworthiness — because people don't buy perfect wording, they buy certainty. Sell the result, not the process Most customers aren't interested in how deep you dig, what tools you use, or the technical steps involved — they want to know how their place will look and feel when it's done. Speaking clearly and confidently about the outcome answers the real question in their head and reassures them that the decision is safe, which is often all they need to move forward. Your price works when you stop apologizing for it. Once you say the price, continuing to talk usually signals doubt and invites hesitation. Silence gives the customer space to process and decide without pressure, and it prevents you from negotiating against yourself. When you treat your price like a normal, everyday number, customers are far more likely to accept it as such.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

When your prayer life feels empty, it can affect more than your quiet time. It can mess with your confidence, your hope, and your sense that God is actually near. If you've ever laid awake at 3 AM thinking, “Why do my prayers feel like they're hitting the ceiling?”, this episode is for you.In this video, we're getting practical. Because when your prayer life feels empty, the answer usually isn't “try harder” or “be more spiritual.” Often, it's that you need a different approach, a different way to talk with God that fits the season you're in.Pastor Bob shares 7 real, simple approaches to prayer that can reignite your prayer life and bring vibrancy to your conversations with God:A balanced “ACTS” rhythm (adoration, confession, thanksgiving, asking) when you feel scattered.Praying the Bible when you're stuck, repeating the same things.Praying through the week so you're not carrying everything at once,Using prayer guides when your words feel stale.Praying with the church so you remember you're not alone.Learning to pray honest prayers of pain and lament when life is heavy,And a bigger shift that expands your heart beyond “my problems” into God's world.If prayer feels empty, you're not disqualified, you're invited. The point isn't perfect words. The point is communion with the Father. Over time, God can rebuild your prayer life into something steady, honest, and real.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - PRAYER IS THE CENTER OF SPIRITUAL LIFE0:45 - ACTS PRAYER: A SIMPLE “BALANCED” PATTERN2:10 - PRAY THE BIBLE WHEN YOU FEEL STUCK3:13 - PRAY THROUGH THE WEEK (SO YOU DON'T FORGET PEOPLE)4:01 - PRAYER GUIDES WHEN YOUR WORDS FEEL STALE4:50 - PRAYING WITH THE CHURCH (YOU'RE NOT ALONE)6:14 - PRAYING LAMENT WHEN LIFE HURTS (PSALM 13)7:00 - EXPAND YOUR HEART: PRAY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD8:35 - SEASONS OF PRAYER + YOUR NEXT STEPJOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Do you have magnetic energy? Some people seem to have the "it" quality – that indefinable allure that pulls people toward them. Certain experts think it's a matter of pheromones, while others believe it's a mix of physical and psychological qualities that creates the draw. From my personal and professional experience, I've found that natural charisma and physical looks have a place in the mysterious realm of attractiveness, but that energetic qualities such as self-confidence, empathy, and genuineness can be the greatest long-term draws. Today, I'm joined by an amazing transformation coach, Lauren Salaun, who will guide us into the wonderful world of creating vibrant, alluring energy. Topics discussed include secure attachment, values, priorities, rejection, energy, intentionality, masculine energy, feminine energy, Carl Jung, healing work, emotional mastery, self-esteem, comparison, self-expression, self-concept, gratitude, alignment, spirituality, self-concept, authenticity, lighthouse effect, purpose, and genuineness.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

 In part one of a three-part mini-series on the theme of "university", we go on a whirlwind tour of the history of universities, from medieval student guilds in Bologna to the modern day.  The University of Bologna nears its thousand-year anniversary. Why universities emerged: stability, trade, rediscovered texts, Church needs. Student guilds hired teachers; papal charters granted privileges, recognition. Medieval curriculum and university specialisations in law, theology, medicine. Renaissance humanism broadened studies beyond law and theology. Scientific Revolution made universities producers of new knowledge. Humboldt model united teaching and research in modern universities. Post-war expansion massified higher education around the world. Today: many universities, 250 million students; degrees often required. UK participation reaches 50%; rising costs and student debt.

You're the parent, or stepparent, who wants less conflict and more connection. But a child's resistance, sarcasm, isolation, or hurtful words, such as: “you're not my dad,” can derail plans and result in hurtful interactions. We've been there.In part 2 of this mini-series, you'll discover how to respond well in tough moments of pushback by using John Gottman's 5 steps of Emotion Coaching. You'll hear us role-play around real-life pushback when a child is competing for a parent's love, making accusations and threats, and behaving oppositionally toward a stepparent.We'll offer a better way to manage those moments with words that help kids feel seen, heard, and understood.  We'll also show you the best approach for addressing poor behavior and setting boundaries. The plan is simple: notice the emotion, treat it as an opportunity, listen and validate, help label feelings, then set limits while exploring solutions. Practice this, and you'll be surprised at how you can lower the tension, build relational safety, and strengthen your connection with a struggling child. When pushback hits, it is possible to move away from reacting in ways that don't help and instead, create an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect,  and real connection in your home.You'll Discover:The 5 Emotion Coaching steps from John Gottman (with wording you can steal) and why each step matters. How to decode what's going on underneath pushback and respond in a way that helps your child move through pain, loss, anger, sadness, and confusion. When and how to set behavioral boundaries so that kids are more open to receiving and responding well. A simple script for stepparents to defuse “You're not my dad/mom” moments while building mutual respect and understanding. When and how to engage in problem-solving with your child and foster real buy-in, confidence, and trust.Resources from this Episode:Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child by Dr. John GottmanEpisode 222.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, Avik explores how to stop dimming your light to fit expectations and start living by design. Certified holistic life coach Samantha Kane (Roots Wings Wellness) unpacks practical ways to release limiting beliefs, set boundaries with family and culture, trust your inner compass, and align daily choices with your higher self. We cover somatic micro-practices to stay present, how to handle fear of disappointing others, and why redefining success on your own terms is the opposite of selfishness. If you've felt “restless” or boxed in by labels, this conversation gives you simple, repeatable steps to move from compliance to authentic expression across work, relationships, and lifestyle. About the guest   Samantha Kane is a certified holistic life coach and conscious guide at Roots Wings Wellness. She helps people reconnect with their authentic self through intuition-led choices, gentle somatic tools, and values-aligned boundaries. She offers a free guide, “The Art of Nonconformity: 5 Powerful Tips to Break Free and Live Authentically.” Key takeaways   Non-conformity isn't chaos; it's clear self-leadership rooted in values, boundaries, and responsibility. Safety and “the known” often mask limiting beliefs; small, consistent decisions create durable change. Start with presence: five minutes daily of breath work, body shakes, or silent reflection resets your nervous system and focus. Redefine success on your terms; stop outsourcing approval to family, culture, or job titles. Honor the “sacrifice”: letting go of outdated identities creates space for what truly fits now. Use your inner compass: intuition + evidence (small experiments) beats external noise. Expect mixed emotions—freedom can feel lonely at first; build supportive spaces and stick with the process. Practical first step: choose one situation this week to pause, notice the old pattern, and take the next right, values-aligned action.
