In Margaret Atwood's 64-year career she has published world-renowned, prescient novels like The Handmaid's Tale, Cat's Eye, Alias Grace and Blind Assassin, and now a memoir. Margaret joins Nuala McGovern to discuss Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts and reflect on her life, her work and the power of knowing her own mind. We also reflect on the impact Margaret Atwood has had on writers and academics. Author Naomi Alderman and academics Dr Rosamund Portus and Dr Megan Douglas join Nuala to discuss how Margaret has encouraged and inspired their work across literature, science and beyond. Health Secretary Wes Streeting in an interview in The Guardian today says an “ugly” racism reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s has become worryingly commonplace in modern Britain and NHS staff are bearing the brunt of it. In recent weeks, organisations representing nurses, social workers and carers - many of those being areas are dominated by women - have been sounding the alarm saying their members are encountering unprecedented levels of racism. We talk to Patricia Marquiss, Director for England at the Royal College of Nursing, Nadra Ahmed, Executive Chairman of the National Care Association and Harvey Gallagher from the Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers.Is having a boyfriend now embarrassing? Writer Chanté Joseph recently explored this idea in an article for Vogue and on social media, observing a noticeable shift in how people - particularly heterosexual women - present their relationships online. Instead of posting clear photos of their romantic partners, many are choosing subtler signals: a hand on a steering wheel, clinking glasses, or even blurring out faces in wedding pictures. But why the change? Even Zohran Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York, was asked whether it's still okay to use the term boyfriend. Chanté joins us.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services, we explore how forensic and cognitive psychology is being applied in the justice system, and how – together with facial recognition technology – such developments may have implications for legal proceedings. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Professor Richard Kemp, PhD, and Unisearch Expert Opinion Service business development manager Christopher Aaron Yong about Professor Kemp's research fields, why experts like him are in greater demand, the pertinence and necessity of such services in ensuring access to justice, the limitations of such scientific fields, and addressing gaps in legal proceedings. Professor Kemp and Yong also delve into the types of proceedings that such services can be applied to, the place for facial recognition technology in such conversations, risks to be navigated, implications for legal practitioners on the ground, case studies and lessons from those proceedings, and also explore how to assess the reliability of one's memory.

Dr. K breaks down why so many men feel lonely, rejected, and angry today. He explains how society ties a man's worth to his relationship status and how internet advice warps real human connection. Using clinical insight and lived stories, he shows why effort alone is not the fix, why reciprocity and natural interaction matter, and how unprocessed sadness can harden into anger. The episode offers practical tools to clear social media projections, regulate emotions, and build healthy, organic relationships. Topics include: Social gatekeeping and status tied to relationships Why doing everything “right” still feels empty Reciprocity as the core signal of safety and interest How to be natural by reducing projection and reading context Anger as disguised sadness and how to work with both Concrete steps to date without resentment or creepiness Countering red pill narratives with self-inquiry and repair HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

Your implementation and professional services teams could be quietly eroding your gross profit margin — and most SaaS leaders don't even realize it. In episode #324, Ben Murray explains how unclear COGS structure, mispriced services, and untracked internal resources can distort your unit economics and lower your overall SaaS valuation. If your service margins are negative or your gross profit doesn't match expectations, this episode shows you exactly where to look — and how to fix it. What You'll Learn Why implementation teams often kill gross profit without you noticing. How to calculate services margins by setting up clean revenue streams and COGS cost centers. The right services gross margin target. Why doing “free” onboarding work can destroy your unit economics. How underpricing services or blending resources (support, CS, services) skews your financial reporting. The balance between protecting ARR and monetizing implementation revenue. How to fix your SaaS P&L for visibility into margins by revenue stream. Why It Matters For CFOs & Founders: Misclassified or underpriced services directly lower gross profit, cash flow, and company valuation. For Finance Teams: Clean COGS and OPEX separation creates accurate financial modeling, ARR margins, and retention-linked profitability. For Investors: Understanding margins by revenue stream signals financial discipline and scalability. For Operators: Properly scoped and priced services keep customer onboarding efficient and profitable. Key Takeaways Every SaaS company should know gross margin by revenue stream (subscription, usage, services). Services losing 20–30% gross margin dilute your financial performance and cash flow forecasting. Accurate classification drives better SaaS metrics, including CAC payback, Cost of ARR, and LTV:CAC. A well-structured financial system is your best defense against margin erosion. Resources Mentioned Episode 323: Should Professional Services Be COGS or OPEX? SaaS Metrics Foundation Course: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation Quote from Ben “If you don't know your margins by revenue stream, you can't manage them — and services might be the silent killer of your gross profit.”

Did you know that the concept of spiritual covering originated from the "Shepherding Movement" in the 1970s? Many prideful leaders are pounding ungodly doctrine down the throats of many wounded Christians ... manipulating and trying to gain control over souls, which is a form of witchcraft. This pattern is still being witnessed in various churches and on social media as a worldly recognition; often involving occult impartations and the glorification of self! A spiritual covering is NOT required for accountability. Let's be clear: You're covering and ultimate authority belongs to God, NOT man! Be wary of leaders who twist Scripture and prioritize submission to themselves over God. There are dangers of occult traditions and rituals that glorify self and place humans as divine authority, my friends! Spiritual coverings are a SCAM: You're covering comes from our Creator, not His creation!

Hello to you listening from wherever your feet touch the ground on this Halloween which has roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced SOW in) which marked the end of summer and the harvest and begins the darker half of the year.Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, the Witch of Whidbey.Over these past 6 weeks (as I do every year) I've been retracing in my journal and my memories the pilgrimage I walked on the Camino de Santiago. By this time back then I was leaving Finisterre, Spain bound for uncertain transition and re-entry into life back in the States. “Look to the Helpers” showed up as the prevailing theme in this year's “trek along the Buen Camino.” No matter how lost or uncertain, cold, wet, tired, or hungry there was always someone or something to show me the way, the next step. Maybe the Camino's yellow arrow, maybe Camino magic, maybe a stranger - how often we pilgrims relied on the kindness of strangers. In turn, we learned how to give a hand up to one another because Each One Lift One is a lesson the Camino deeply ingrains.Something I've not thought of in decades came to mind as I mused on Helpers. I'd been given a brand new shiny emerald green big girl 2-wheeler bicycle for my 7th birthday. The first I'd ever owned. Now I'd have to learn how to ride it.It was cold that New Jersey February. I remember dad holding the back of the bike seat steadying the bike as I learned to balance, keep it upright, steer down the concrete sidewalk. Once I got the hang of it I peddled a short way, and then a little longer, dad's fingers still on the rear of the bike seat until he let go and there I went wobbling but upright, making my way down the sidewalk. I was riding a 2-wheeler bike!That's been my life from that day to this: testing my balance, falling down 7, getting up 8, gaining confidence. But never alone. The Helpers in my life, always there, holding, steadying, letting go, and watching with pride! There she goes! That's our girl! All attitude, sass, class and adventure ready for what's next.What's next was washing up on the shores of Whidbey Island to become the Witch of Whidbey. Still finding my way, orienting my True North compass, looking to the Helpers.Story Prompt: What about you? How have you traveled Life's roads? Who are your Helpers?

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are showing up to work and not getting paid on time during the second longest government shutdown. State Department employees who process passports are among those working without pay. That's an unusual step, because that part of the agency is fee funded, and it can normally pay staff on time during a lapse in congressional funds. Federal News Network's Jory Heckman has been covering this issue, and he joins us now with more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Learn about the collaborative efforts among service branches to optimize training slots and how the Defense Health Agency is streamlining the administration of military hospitals to enhance GME training opportunities. Dive into the career pathways within military medicine and the personal investment of trainers in shaping successful medical officers. From transitional year programs to specialized residencies, explore the avenues open to those considering a military medical career. Dr. DeZee's insights shed light on the dedication required to thrive in this field, ensuring that military medical professionals are not only well-trained but passionate about delivering exceptional care. This episode underscores the commitment of military trainers to their trainees and the freedom for medical officers to pursue their chosen specialties. Whether you're a medical student, a seasoned professional, or just fascinated by military medicine, this episode offers a wealth of information and inspiration. Tune in to uncover the dedication and passion that drive military medical professionals to provide exceptional care. Chapters: (00:04) Evolution of Military Graduate Medical Education (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways (40:14) Maximizing Success in Military Medical Careers (52:50) Military Graduate Medical Education Opportunities Chapter Summaries: (00:04) Evolution of Military Graduate Medical Education Join us for an insightful conversation with Army Colonel Dr. Kent DeZee, the Director of Graduate Medical Education for the Defense Health Agency. We explore the evolution of military graduate medical education (GME) programs and discuss the residency match process and unique aspects of training military physicians. Dr. DeZee addresses common concerns regarding deployment and training opportunities during residency and highlights the roles of general medical officers. He also provides advice for medical students looking to enhance their competitiveness for GME applications. Emphasizing the importance of leadership and clinical experience, Dr. DeZee outlines how these elements are crucial in shaping future military medical professionals. Additionally, we look into the changes brought about by the formation of the Defense Health Agency and how it has centralized the administration of military hospitals to better facilitate GME training across branches. (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities Dr. DeZee provides an insightful exploration into the nuances of the military's Graduate Medical Education (GME) system, specifically focusing on civilian deferred training and the differences in GME offerings across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. We explain how civilian deferred training allows students to complete their residency without military obligation, returning to fulfill their service commitment afterward. Additionally, we examine the similarities and distinctions in specialty and fellowship opportunities among the three services, highlighting that while core specialties are consistently available, certain niche fields may not be offered every year. We also discuss the limitations of applying across different service branches for residency, except in special circumstances like joint domicile or compelling family needs. Finally, we touch on the process during the GME selection board where unfilled positions in one service might potentially be offered to another, ensuring optimal utilization of training slots. (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities We explore the various scenarios for medical professionals navigating the residency match process, particularly focusing on those who have completed or are considering a transitional year program. We discuss the eligibility of transitional year residents to re-enter the match and how their performance might offer a slight advantage over medical students who haven't completed such a year. Additionally, we examine the options available for medical students who aren't matched with their preferred internship, such as transitioning into a preliminary surgical year or pursuing a general medical officer (GMO) role. The nuances of how different specialties view a transitional year are also covered, with particular emphasis on which rotations may count towards graduation requirements for certain boards. Furthermore, we address the differences in how the Army, Air Force, and Navy utilize GMO tours within overall Graduate Medical Education (GME) training pathways. (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways Dr. DeZee describes the journey of becoming a General Medical Officer (GMO) in the military, highlighting the additional training required for various roles, such as flight surgeon or undersea medicine. We discuss the mentoring process within a flight unit and the evaluation called a Focused Practice Review to ensure safe medical practice. For those interested in long-term service, options like aerospace medicine residencies are available. The Navy's new program, which allows a seamless transition back to residency after a GMO tour, is also highlighted. Additionally, I touch upon the flexibility for those who decide a particular residency is not for them, detailing the process for resigning and re-competing for a different specialty without it being viewed negatively, as long as professional standards are maintained. (40:14) Maximizing Success in Military Medical Careers We cover the critical decisions and requirements for medical professionals in a DHA Graduate Medical Education (GME) program, focusing on the nuances of resignation and training progression. We emphasize the irreversible nature of resigning from the program and the transition to becoming a general medical officer. I also address the integration of military education with medical residency, highlighting the importance of completing the Officer Basic Course before or during residency. For medical students aspiring to be competitive in the selection board, I offer advice on enhancing their profiles through clinical rotations, leadership roles, and research involvement. Being well-prepared for specialty rotations, demonstrating leadership potential, and achieving strong academic performance are key factors in securing a successful career as a medical corps officer. (52:50) Military Graduate Medical Education Opportunities Dr. DeZee encourages exploring the details of Army Internal Medicine programs through the DHA website, highlighting the ease of access and the wealth of information available without any commitment. We emphasize the dedication of program coordinators like Michelle Valdez and Michael Simons in developing this resource, which aids in understanding the local environment and the training of medical corps officers. Reflecting on personal experiences, such as undergoing surgery at Walter Reed, underscores the importance of excellent training programs for military medical professionals. I stress the significance of training residents who may one day provide care to us or our loved ones, highlighting the personal investment of trainers in their trainees' success. We also clarify that while the military does not force specialties on medical officers, the option to pursue one's desired field remains open, ensuring that medical professionals are passionate and committed to their chosen paths.

Where do professional services belong on a SaaS P&L—COGS or OPEX? In episode #323, Ben clarifies how to code implementation, onboarding, custom integrations, and the tricky custom development work that sometimes blurs the line with R&D. You'll learn how correct classification protects gross profit, keeps investor metrics credible, and supports a higher company valuation. - What You'll Learn What counts as Professional Services When custom dev is OPEX (R&D) vs. COGS How to handle integrations Why coding accuracy matters Practical P&L structure - Why It Matters (Finance & Investor Lens) Gross Profit Integrity: Correct COGS ensures reliable margins by revenue stream (subscription, services, usage) that investors expect. Credible SaaS metrics: Clean separation supports accurate CAC payback (GM-adjusted), Cost of ARR, and LTV:CAC. Valuation: Transparent accounting and financial systems reduce diligence friction and improve confidence in revenue quality. Operator Clarity: Treat Professional Services as a self-sustaining business unit with clear targets for utilization and margin. - Quick Checklist Distinct GLs for subscription, usage, services revenue Fully burdened Services COGS (wages, taxes, benefits, travel, tools) Separate custom dev tracking (R&D vs. billable services) Clear DevOps/hosting in COGS for delivery costs CS in COGS only if non-selling (no quota/commission) - Resources Mentioned Guide: How to Structure a SaaS P&L (COGS vs. OPEX, margins by stream): https://www.thesaascfo.com/how-to-structure-your-saas-pl/ Course: SaaS Metrics Foundation: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation - Quote from Ben “Code services where the work and dollars actually live.
