The Steelers kick off their regular season this weekend, and if you go to a home game, you'll likely hear Styx's 1979 hit "Renegade" between the 3rd and 4th quarters. What started as your average in-game timeout song in 2002 became a good luck charm in the minds of Pittsburgh fans all over the world. But does the song produce tangible results or is it all just superstition? Researchers at Point Park University crunched the data to bring us a definitive answer. **This episode originally aired on September 1, 2022.

The Buddha said that the minds of his followers should "constantly, day and night, delight in spiritual practice." But what practice can we stitch into the fabric of ordinary days? This fan-favorite epsiode explores a spiritual thread that can run through work, family, errands, and all the passing moments that make up our lives.   Cherishing others requires no shrine, no retreat, no special circumstance—only a special intention. To cherish another means we think and act on this intention, "Your happiness matters. I will work for your happiness."   Whether it's the barista, a child, a colleague, or a stranger in the grocery store, cherishing others transforms every interaction into a step on the spiritual path.   Cherishing others is loving-kindness, or metta, in action. This practice softens the heart. It also dismantles the walls of self-cherishing (selfishness), our habit of "me first" that actually gives rise to our own pain.   The Buddha taught that cherishing others is the root of all good qualities, from patience to compassion, and the sacred root from which enlightenment eventually blossoms.   The Buddha also taught that cherishing others helps solve problems and creates the causes of happiness (through creating good karma). And science, centuries later, agrees. A 2024 study involving three countries and 4,000 people found that even one act of kindness a week toward others decreased loneliness, social anxiety, neighborhood conflict, and isolation.  Even our bodies rejoice when we cherish others. Researchers at the University of British Columbia found that people who regularly performed kind acts had lower blood pressure and reduced inflammatory markers—key factors in long-term health. And a study from Carnegie Mellon University showed that offering support to loved ones was linked to lower cortisol levels and improved immune response.   Cherishing others is beneficial for the mind and weaves joy into everyday life. What if, day and night, we delighted in this? If you are interested in working with JoAnn Fox as a Life/Spiritual Coach, visit https://buddhismforeveryone.com/coaching   References and Links Buddha.

A new report says racist abuse is too often "tolerated or even normalised" in the English countryside, with many incidents going unreported by victims. Researchers from the University of Leicester spoke to 115 people and 20 community groups over two years, for their Rural Racism Project. They found that it wasn't just visitors to the countryside who suffered abuse, but those who are living within rural communities as well. The UK dairy sector has had a pretty successful year. The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, which works with farmers and food producers on international trade, says that European demand for UK dairy exports reached a record 1.1 billion pounds in the first half of 2025, that's a 20 percent jump from last year. Exports to the USA and Asia also rose. How sustainable is this trend, especially with the impact of drought on dairy producers in some parts of the country?All this week we're looking at the business of livestock feed. What's grown to feed animals and how it's produced, can have a big impact on carbon emissions. Farmers are being encouraged to grow pulses to replace imported soya which can lead to deforestation. We visit a livestock farmer who's been trialling it as part of a nationwide project.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

This year marks the 50th anniversary of "Jaws," the 1975 Steven Spielberg blockbuster about a ravenous great white shark. The film packed theaters and instilled a deep, lasting fear of sharks. While many Americans are terrified of them, shark attacks are relatively rare and the species is widely misunderstood.

Bipolar disorder is one of the most misunderstood and medicated conditions in mental health—but what if the brain isn't broken at all? In this episode, Heather McKean redefines bipolar through the Mind Change lens, showing how chaotic childhoods, emotional suppression, and trauma can create subconscious survival strategies that appear as mania and depression. She shares her own personal diagnosis story, exposes the risks of conventional treatments, and explains why bipolar symptoms may actually be intelligent signals from the subconscious asking to be heard. This empowering episode offers a fresh perspective for anyone impacted by bipolar patterns, pointing the way toward lasting resolution and freedom.What we covered in this episode:

In recent years, those efforts have begun to bear fruit : Researchers have begun transplanting the hearts and kidneys of genetically modified pigs into patients, with varying degrees of success.But lungs are notoriously difficult to transplant, even from human to human, and mortality rates are high. Now, in the first procedure of its kind, Chinese scientists on Monday reported transplanting a lung from a pig into a brain-dead man. The organ sustained damage after it was transplanted but functioned to some degree, scientists at Guangzhou Medical University reported in the journal Nature Medicine. The organ was removed after nine days.知识点： bear fruit /beə fruːt/，phr. v.produce fruit; lead to successful results or outcomes.（结果实；产生成果，奏效）• The apple tree we planted three years ago finally began to bear fruit this spring.（我们三年前种的那棵苹果树，今年春天终于开始结果了。）• All their hard work in developing the new product started to bear fruit when it became popular.（他们研发新产品的所有努力开始奏效，这款产品逐渐走红。）获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

It sounds promising: AI chatbots acting as scientists, condensing the work of weeks, months, or even years of reading, debate, and hour-long lab meetings into minutes. Researchers at Stanford University and Google DeepMind have released multi-agent AI “scientist” systems. But how good are they, really, and will they overcome current limitations of large language models like OpenAI's GPT or Google's Gemini—such as the lack of robust reasoning capabilities, which are crucial for scientific discovery? In the 38th episode of the BioRevolution Podcast, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow discuss the promise and the reality of AI scientists.

Send us a textHaving a great interest in mind control, I discovered Jason Christoff at NCI - National Citizens Inquiry - an amazing Canadian people-led group diving into what went wrong during Covid. The present theme and question is  Are children safe in Canada? (I spoke on the Flexner Report of 1920 in Edmonton in March 2025. The Flexner Report sabotaged our medical system by making our health care solely allopathic, excluding systems of medicine such as homeopathy, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic, midwifery and traditional  osteopathy.)         Jason has spoken on the subject of mind control at the US Senate and at the EU, Japanese and Romanian Parliaments. Jason operates an international psychological reprogramming institute where he teaches health professionals and members of the general public how to use positive forms of mind control, to make their lives (and the lives of their patients) better.Jason is set to release his first documentary titled PLANET MIND CONTROLthis fall, 2025. In order to win the battle we're all in today Jason believes that each citizen must educate on the basics, in relation to how mind control works and how to avoid becoming a victim of it.Victimhood is another topic I hope to discuss through this podcast as I regain equilibrium after my husband's death by medical error. To that end my one woman show will start off as a radio play. I hope to have it ready to air by October 2025.This journey of grieving has been intense and I want to thank so many- family, friends, strangers, new friends from Har El, the grief group out at N Van City Library as well as PJ and Beau for almost daily walks. And NCI for hope and strength to get our world on a better course. So much love, so much support has come my way...and I am sooo grateful.Jason grew up in Truro, Nova Scotia so this episode is dedicated to my cherished Maritime sisters and brothers and friends, who are confined by the ridiculous edict to not go into the woods today. Much love to all and please pray for attorney Reinier Fuellmich who is imprisoned in Germany for political reasons.Relevant books for this episode include: Rape of the Mind by Joost Merlo 1950s psychiatristAnything by Hannah Arendt, German Jewish American, probably the greatest philosopher of the 20th centuryEssays and books by Matthias Desmet, Belgian professor and Support the show#Creativity in Healing #Medicalfreedom #MindControl #Canadaontheedge #HealthCanada #CanadaLaw #TrueHope #truth #apocaloptimist #transformingtrauma #grief #grievingdeeply #homeopathy #loveheals #naturopathicmedicine #druglessmedicine #energymedicine #expressiveartsheal #empoweredvoices #knowledgeispower #singtohealthyroids #erasetoxiclegacies #peaceispossible #VictimeRecoveryBooks: Transforming Trauma, a drugless and creative path to healing PTS and ACE is published by Hammersmith Books is available globally.

In this episode we welcome three GBHI Fellows: guest host and filmmaker Michelle Memran, documentary photographer Alex Kornhuber, and social sciences academic Dr Sonata Mačiulskytė. Together they explore the ways in which caregiving, creativity, and change come together in the context of dementia. Drawing on their experiences of supporting loved ones with dementia, they reflect on how these personal journeys have influenced their professional work and shaped their understanding of the disease. The discussion touches on the early signs of dementia, the transformation of relationships through caregiving, and the importance of early diagnosis. The conversation also considers the significance of documenting caregiving experiences and the need to reshape the narrative around dementia. By sharing stories and creative perspectives, the guests highlight how shifting this narrative can foster greater awareness, empathy, and understanding. -- Takeaways • Caregiving is a deeply personal journey that shapes professional work. • Recognising early signs of dementia can be challenging but crucial. • Relationships with loved ones can transform through the caregiving experience. • Early diagnosis can lead to better care and understanding. • Documenting caregiving experiences can foster connection and awareness. • Language and narrative around dementia need to change for better understanding. • Sharing personal stories can help others feel less alone in their caregiving journey. • The experience of dementia is unique to each individual and family. • Advocacy for brain health should start early in life.

Research shows that simple practices such as self-hugs, soothing touch, and hand-to-heart can calm the nervous system, supporting caregivers and the children in their care.Summary: From parents to teachers, caregiving can be overwhelming and exhausting. This episode of The Science of Happiness dives into simple touch-based strategies that promote calm, reduce stress, and foster stronger connections. Researchers share how even brief moments of self-soothing or supportive touch can improve mental and physical health for caregivers and children. How To Do This Practice:  Sit or stand comfortably and take a moment to notice your body. Soften your jaw and shoulders. If it feels safe, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Place one hand on your belly, both hands over your heart, or give yourself a self-hug— whatever feels most comfortable and natural. Let the weight of your hands feel steady and supportive. Take a slow inhale through your nose and a longer exhale through your mouth. Silently repeat a kind phrase to yourself, like “How can I be a friend to myself today?” and “It's okay to make mistakes.” Feel the warmth and weight of your hands. On each exhale, invite a little ease into your face, shoulders, belly, and back. Notice any tiny shift toward calm. Wrap your arms around your torso and apply comfortable pressure, finishing with a gentle self-hug before returning to your day.  Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Today's Guests:THERESA ALEXANDER is a pre-K teacher based in Arlington, Virginia, with nearly 20 years of teaching experience.

In this week's episode we'll learn about targeting NPM1 in acute myeloid leukemia. Researchers report the first clinical evidence of a menin inhibitor inducing complete remissions in AML with a NPM1 mutation. This validates NPM1 as a new therapeutic target in AML, alongside FLT3, IDH1/2, and KMT2A. Also on the podcast: targeting CD137 to prevent graft-versus-host disease. In nonhuman primates, a single dose of a CD137 antibody-drug conjugate provided long-term protection, with one important caveat: the potential for viral reactivation.Featured Articles: Menin inhibition with revumenib for NPM1-mutated relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia: the AUGMENT-101 studyA single dose of a CD137 antibody–drug conjugate protects rhesus macaque allogeneic HCT recipients against acute GVHD

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Researcher, Alchemist and Author, P. D. Newman.P.D. Newman has been immersed in the study and practice of shamanism, alchemy, hermetism, and theurgy for more than two decades. The author of Theurgy: Theory and Practice: The Mysteries of the Ascent to the Divine, Angels in Vermilion: The Philosophers' Stone from Dee to DMT, and Alchemically Stoned: The Psychedelic Secret of Freemasonry.The use of hallucinogenic substances like peyote and desert tobacco has long played a significant role in the spiritual practices and traditions of Native Americans. While many of those practices are well documented, the relationship between entheogens and Native Americans of the Southeast - whose psychedelic use was just as sophisticated - has gone largely unexplored. In Tripping the Trail of Ghosts: Psychedelics and the Afterlife Journey in Native American Mound Cultures, P.D. Newman examines these lost psychedelic traditions.Examining the role of psychoactive plants in afterlife traditions, sacred rituals, and spirit journeying by shamans of the Mississippian mound cultures, P. D. Newman explores in depth the Native American death journey known as the “Trail of Ghosts” or “Path of Souls.”He demonstrates how practices such as fasting and trancework alongside psychedelic plants like jimsonweed, black nightshade, morning glory, amanita and psilocybin mushrooms, and an as-yet-undocumented analogue to ayahuasca were used to evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys for shamans and chiefs.Tune in and share all of your questions and comments about Psychedelic Traditions on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.amzn.to/4mvK0Uzamzn.to/4mVRi3Jamzn.to/4mBGHvcamzn.to/4mwJ02ASupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conscious-consultant-hour8505/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The decision has dramatically increased access to contraception, according to a new study from Oregon Health & Science University.    Researchers found that more than a quarter of participants who were using the over-the-counter pill had switched from using no birth control at all. They also found that members of the over-the-counter group were more likely to be uninsured and live in rural areas than participants who used prescription birth control.   Maria Rodriguez is the director of both the Center for Reproductive Health Equity and the Center for Women’s Health at OHSU. She joins us with more on the importance of removing barriers to reproductive health care.  

On this episode of the Economic and Business History channel, I spoke with Dr. Victoria Basualdo and Dr. Marcelo Bucheli about their new edited book. Big Business and Dictatorships in Latin America: A Transnational History of Profits and Repression (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) is an edited volume that studies the relationship between big business and the Latin American dictatorial regimes during the Cold War. The first section provides a general background about the contemporary history of business corporations and dictatorships in the twentieth century at the international level. The second section comprises chapters that analyze five national cases (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Peru), as well as a comparative analysis of the banking sector in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay). The third section presents six case studies of large companies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Central America. This book is crucial reading because it provides the first comprehensive analysis of a key yet understudied topic in Cold War history in Latin America. Victoria Basualdo is Researcher at the Argentine National Scientific Council (CONICET) and at the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO), and Professor in the Political Economy Master's Degree Program at FLACSO, Argentina. She specializes in contemporary economic and labor history, with special focus on structural changes and the transformations of trade-union organizations in Argentina and Latin America. Hartmut Berghoff is Director of the Institute of Economic and Social History at the University of Göttingen, Germany. He was the Director of the German Historical Institute in Washington DC (2008-2015) and held various visiting positions at the Center of Advanced Study, Harvard Business School, the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, and the Henley Business School. He has worked on the history of consumption, business history, immigration history and the history of modern Germany. Marcelo Bucheli is Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Gies College of Business, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. His research focuses on the political economy of multinational corporations in Latin America, theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the relationship between firms and states in a historical perspective, and business groups.

A UC Berkeley study finds billionaires pay an average effective tax rate of just 23.8%, lower than the 30% for most Americans and far below the 45% paid by top wage earners. Researchers say the gap stems from how billionaires report far less taxable income relative to economic income. The study also shows billionaire wealth has surged, rising from 0.9% of household wealth in 1982 to 4.1% in 2025.

Sussex-born cellist Laura van der Heijden won the BBC Young Musician of the Year at the age of 15 in 2012. She's now been named as the Royal Philharmonic Society's Instrumentalist of the Year and will be the Artist in Residence at this year's Lammermuir Festival in Scotland. Laura tells Kylie Pentelow about her repertoire, her love of the outdoors, and plays live in the studio.Women who've been stalked, or had to take out a restraining order, have a much higher chance of suffering a heart attack or stroke, according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It followed a group of over 66,000 women across 10 years, and found those who'd been stalked were 41% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, with those who'd taken out a restraining orders 71% more likely to have heart problems. Kylie talks to Dr Audrey Murchland, one of the lead researchers who carried out the study, about their findings.Paula Byrne, Jane Austen's biographer and also a novelist, has spent 25 years researching and writing about the iconic author. In this 250th anniversary year of Austen's birth, she joins Kylie to talk about her new novel, Six Weeks by the Sea, which is her first fictional treatment of Austen and tells the story of how she imagines the most famous romance writer of all time first fell in love.New government guidance on sex education coming in next year doesn't include specific information on how children should be taught about menstruation, despite a new study showing children don't get enough lessons on the subject. Researchers from University College London claim children get at most two sessions on periods and they say boys and girls should be taught about it together. The study was led by Professor Joyce Harper from the UCL Institute for Women's Health. She joins Kylie along with Tina Leslie from the charity Freedom for Girls, which provides period education.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Andrea Kidd

As Earth was thawing out at the end of the last ice age, it was hit by a powerful blast from the Sun. The storm would have triggered spectacular displays of the northern and southern lights. And it left an imprint in tree rings. Using that imprint, scientists have found that the storm was the most powerful yet recorded. And they even have a time for the event: the first quarter of the year 12,350 BC. Solar storms pelt Earth all the time. Most of the storms are small. But big ones can damage or destroy satellites, zap power systems on the ground, and cause other mischief. The biggest one ever seen took place in 1859. It knocked out telegraph systems around the world. But scientists have found evidence of even bigger events in the more-distant past. Some of the events are recorded in tree rings. Charged particles from the storms interact with Earth’s atmosphere to produce a radioactive form of carbon. Trees take up some of the carbon, which decays to a more stable form at a known rate. So comparing the ratio of carbon isotopes in tree rings can tell us when big storms took place. Researchers measured the carbon in rings from the end of the ice age. And they developed a new model of chemistry of the atmosphere during such cold periods. Their work showed that Earth was hit by the strongest solar storm yet discovered more than 14,000 years ago. More about space weather tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield
