Jim Norton and Matt Serra get ready for UFC 332 with a pair of main-card fighters: returning middleweight Ateba Gautier and first-time guest Natalia Silva.First, Gautier joins the show ahead of his matchup with Roman Kopylov and reveals a few unexpected layers outside the cage. If you heard a middleweight knockout artist say he was a My Little Pony fan, a physics lover and a geology major, which one would you not believe? In Gautier's case, two of those are true — and you have to hear him explain it for yourself. He also talks about his natural power, preparing for Kopylov's durability, training in Las Vegas and continuing to evolve from fight to fight.Then, Jim and Matt make some UFC 332 picks before welcoming #1 women's flyweight Natalia Silva and translator Fabiano Buskei to the show. Silva reflects on starting Taekwondo through a social program in Brazil, pushing through early MMA losses and injuries, and finally reaching Saturday's vacant title fight against Wang Cong.Silva also talks about preparing for five rounds, what she expects from Wang's striking, and what it means to represent the small Brazilian town of Pingo-d'Água on a world championship stage before Jim and Matt wrap up with final thoughts and picks for Saturday's card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"It's a restaurant with rooms attached." That's how Tony Greenberg describes SingleThread — and Ariela thinks it might be the future of hospitality. In this episode, Tony, co-founder of SingleThread and CEO of Vertice Hospitality, joins Ariela to trace his unlikely path from working under Mayor Bloomberg on the Hudson Yards development to surviving the 2008 financial crisis to co-founding SingleThread with chef Kyle Connaughton. They dig into what makes SingleThread's restaurant-inn-farm model work, how retail and hospitality are converging across every industry, and why Tony insists that integrity — not opportunity — should decide which projects a hospitality brand takes on.Episode Time Stamps:0:00 – Introduction to Tony Greenberg and SingleThread0:40 – From NYU finance grad to working on Hudson Yards under Mayor Bloomberg3:32 – Striking out on his own to found Up Ventures4:16 – The pivot to food and hospitality, and building Food Union with top chefs6:22 – Losing it all in the 2008 financial crisis, and meeting future co-founder Kyle Connaughton7:11 – Building SingleThread as a side project that quickly took off9:47 – What SingleThread actually is: a restaurant, inn, and farm woven into one experience11:20 – Hospitality's spread into retail and other industries14:22 – Opening Selvedge: extending SingleThread into a standalone inn16:02 – Retail at SingleThread: starting small and staying true to the core business20:37 – Why integrity, not opportunity, should decide which projects to take on20:59 – Bringing SingleThread to Kyoto through a partnership with Capella Hotel Group24:09 – Closing: what's next for SingleThread, including Entremet and future locationsEpisode Highlights:Tony's origin story: working for Mayor Bloomberg's Economic Development Corp on Hudson Yards in his 20s, negotiating opposite real estate titans like Steve Roth and Douglas DurstStriking out on his own to found Up Ventures after discovering he was barred from working with anyone who'd bid on Hudson YardsBuilding Food Union with chefs Thomas Keller, David Chang, and Albert Adrià as anchor tenants — and watching it collapse in the 2008 financial crisisMeeting future SingleThread co-founder Kyle Connaughton through that experience, and starting SingleThread as a side projectWhat SingleThread actually is: a restaurant, inn, and farm designed as one continuous guest experienceWhy hospitality is bleeding into retail and other industries, and his take on which brands are doing it well versus poorlyOpening Selvedge, a 10–11 room extension of SingleThread with no restaurant of its ownHis approach to retail: starting small (farm store, CPG products, artisan collaborations) and never letting it distract from the core businessWhy he insists on integrity as a filter for every business decision — "if you can't execute at a very high level, just don't do it"Bringing SingleThread to Kyoto through a partnership with Capella Hotel Group, after a pre-COVID Japan project fell throughWhat's next: opening SingleThread Entremet and plans to expand the concept to a few more international locations over timeTony and Ariela close on a theme that's run through the whole conversation: growth, for Tony, only makes sense when it makes everything — the guest experience, the team, and the brand — better, not just bigger. From Hudson Yards to Food Union's collapse to building SingleThread almost by accident, his throughline is patience and integrity over opportunism. As hospitality continues to spill into retail, real estate, and beyond, his approach offers a clear filter: only take on what you can execute at the highest level, and let everything else wait.Stay tuned for the next episode of The Unfamiliar Shift with Ariela for more insightful discussions on the boutique lifestyle lodging industry.Keep connected with BLLA for the latest updates and explore BLLA.org for more resources.

Stepping into a major leadership role is a thrilling milestone, but finding the right pace can be one of the greatest challenges for any incoming executive. Striking the balance between executing bold, decisive actions and taking the time to listen, learn, and absorb organizational history is crucial for long-term sustainability. In this episode, host Douglas Nelson sits down with Brian Torrance, the President and CEO of ParticipACTION, to discuss the delicate art of executive transition. Brian shares his personal reflections on taking the helm of an iconic Canadian national charity, managing board dynamics, and the critical importance of a “cadence check” to ensure the entire team is aligned. He also outlines how ParticipACTION is connecting with a new generation of Canadians through “new nostalgia” and family-centered physical activity initiatives.

For those who believe the world of elite fashion photography is not within reach—we've got a story for you! In this week's podcast, we explore the career trajectory and core values fueling the rise of fashion & beauty specialist Enrique Vega. Hailing from a small town in Mexico, Enrique built essential skills by assisting a local wedding and event photographer, then set his sights on New York City. After knocking on the door of his sole professional contact, he worked his way from unpaid intern to first assistant—building the kind of confidence that only comes from proving yourself, one shoot at a time, in a setting he compares to "a military school of photography." Enrique's chat with Derek ranges from the realities of breaking into fashion photography as an outsider while combating the dreaded "imposter syndrome" to his belief that endurance and resilience, rather than talent and execution, are what separates photographers who make it in New York. From there, the discussion shifts to the collapse of print media and what comes after magazines, how Enrique is folding AI into his workflow without losing the human element that makes his portraits shine, and the inevitable tightrope between staying an artist and running a business. Ever passionate about his photographs, Enrique sums things up with this candid sentiment: "All the work that I did from the heart, whichever way I wanted to, not because I wanted to be trendy, not because I wanted validation—just what I love—is what has opened many doors for me. It's the work that still lives in my portfolio and people love. The images that actually got me work."

Guest Bio: Enrique Vega is a Mexican-born, New York City-based fashion photographer and director, whose fashion and beauty work has been published in the most prestigious fashion magazines worldwide and featured in TV shows like America's Next Top Model. He began his career in photography at age 17 as an assistant to a local photographer in Mexico. After completing a degree in Communication Sciences at the Autonomous University of Baja, California, he continued his studies in portraiture at the Academy of Visual Arts in Mexico City, Spéos School of Photography in Paris, the School of Visual Arts, and the International Center of Photography in New York City. His work is part of the Art + Commerce / Vogue italy / PhotoVogue Collection. In 2019, he was awarded "Photographer of the Year" by the Fashion Group International Mexico for his experience, creativity, and perseverance in fashion photography, both inside and outside the country.

But with Gucci replacing BWT at Alpine from 2027 and Haas already ruling out a pink car, something has changed. This is the story of how BWT turned pink into a marketing weapon...and why modern F1 teams are increasingly protective of their own colours.

Today, we're speaking to Dr Jasjot Saund, a public health registrar based in London. Title of paper: Association of the NHS Health Check with all-cause mortality: a longitudinal cohort study in primary careAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0451The NHS Health Check (NHS-HC) has been shown to improve detection and management of surrogate markers of health, such as blood pressure and cholesterol. The long-term impact, however, is less evidenced, with mortality reductions seen in a UK Biobank cohort and no mortality reduction seen in a Cochrane review of general health checks, including those outside the UK. The current study added real-world evidence from a diverse UK urban population, and a 15-year study period. Survival analysis of GP electronic health record data shows reduced mortality in those who attended an NHS-HC compared with those who did not. These findings should be interpreted cautiously given the observational nature of the study design.TranscriptThis transcript was generated using AI and has not been reviewed for accuracy. Please be aware it may contain errors or omissions.Speaker A00:00:01.440 - 00:00:58.570Hi and welcome to BJGP Interviews. I'm Nada Khan and I'm the senior research editor of the Journal. Thanks for taking the time today to listen to this podcast.In today's episode, we're talking to Dr. Jazjot Sound, a public health registrar based in London.We're here to discuss the paper she's recently published here in the BJGP titled Association of the NHS Health Check with All Cause Mortality, A Longitudinal Cohort Study in Primary Care. So thanks very much for joining us here today, Jazja.It's really great to talk about this work and I think just before we get into the study itself, we know that NHS health checks are something that most GPs will probably be very familiar with, but maybe we don't always stop and think about the evidence behind them. So, just to start off, I wonder if you can explain to us a little bit about, about what the NHS Health Check program is actually designed to do.Speaker B00:00:59.050 - 00:02:16.370Yeah, absolutely.So the NHS Health Check program was rolled out in 2009 and it's essentially a population level preventative initiative, focusing particularly on cardiovascular disease, but potentially wider as well.And so it's specifically targeted at people who are between the ages of 40 and 75 and who don't already have a, a cardiovascular disease or a known cardiovascular disease. And I think that's really important because it's targeting people who are potentially at risk or have undetected disease.And what this means is, so ultimately the health check itself, it consists of a check that's usually undertaken by primary care, so looking at lifestyle factors, modifiable risk factors, biochemical tests, as well as sort of just other general checks. And importantly, this is embedded into primary care pathways.So essentially it's ensuring that these patients are followed up if they are determined to be high risk and potentially put on prescriptions or followed up with lifestyle modifications. So that's generally what the health check is at the moment.Speaker A00:02:16.690 - 00:02:31.070Brilliant. Yeah. And I guess the big question behind this paper is, do they actually make a difference?And I wonder what did we actually know about the impact of NHS health checks before you started this work? So what was out there in the literature already?Speaker B00:02:31.550 - 00:04:07.320Yeah, so there is a, a huge amount of evidence in different parts of the health check. So you might be aware already that it's a multifaceted intervention. So there's, there's the process bits like uptake and invitation.So there's a big amount of evidence that's been telling us that it's really important that we even just the method of invitation can be really influential on who takes up the health check. But then there's also the specific parts of the check itself.So how we communicate risk to patients, for example, can have an impact on how people go home and take on lifestyle advice. And then there's the body of evidence that's closer to where this paper sits, which is looking at clinical outcomes.And there is a whole body of evidence looking at surrogate markers, so things like does it shift the marker on blood pressure or bmi. And then there's the evidence on mortality, for example, or clinical endpoints such as stroke.And so far the evidence is predominantly positive to say we do see a change in clinical outcomes.And more recently, there was a paper in 2024 which was using a UK Biobank cohort and shows that there was an impact, a positive impact on disease, end stage disease, as well as mortality. But as the paper sort of addresses, there's some gaps in this evidence, which is what we. What we hoped to fill.Speaker A00:04:07.560 - 00:04:25.280Yeah.And I guess I wondered if you could just talk us through the data used for this study, because this was a really large real world cohort from an inner city London population, wasn't it? So very different than the kind of population that might, for instance, have taken part in UK Biobank?Speaker B00:04:26.240 - 00:05:17.420Yeah, absolutely.So we thought it was really important to look at whether or not the health check was having an impact as it was being delivered in a real world population.And so we were lucky enough to look at a cohort going all the way back to when the health check was implemented in 2009 in Lambeth, which is a really ethnically diverse and socioeconomically diverse cohort. So, for example, we have a population in lambeth that is 40% non white, as opposed to, I think the UK Biobank participants were 96% white.So there's a real difference.And so we wanted to ensure that the population we looked at was representative of some of the inner city boroughs that have particular challenges around NHS health check uptake.Speaker A00:05:17.660 - 00:05:27.330Okay, so let's get into what you found. And what was the headline result when you compared people who attended at least one NHS health check with those who didn't?Speaker B00:05:28.120 - 00:05:53.320Yeah, so the headline result actually showed that there was a 32% relative risk reduction associated with the health checks on all cause mortality. So that's looking at any cause of death, but shows quite an impressive risk reduction. So that is a relative risk reduction as opposed to absolute.So it's important to note that overall the absolute rate of survival was high,.Speaker A00:05:53.750 - 00:06:03.670And that's pretty Striking, actually. So that substantially lower risk of all cause mortality, were you surprised by the size of that association? So 32% is quite big, isn't it?Speaker B00:06:03.750 - 00:06:33.490I think initially I was surprised, but then looking back at the evidence and the data that's already out there, it does fall in line with kind of what we were seeing, particularly in the UK Biobank cohort as well. I think there is sort of evidence that potentially looks at general health checks, which has shown a converse picture.But as we discussed in the paper, it's really different to how the NHS health check is delivered here. So that's definitely something to bear in mind.Speaker A00:06:33.810 - 00:06:45.250And you also looked at absolute mortality risk over 10 years and the difference seemed to be really pronounced with increasing age. So could you talk us a little bit through what you found there?Speaker B00:06:45.650 - 00:07:39.440Yeah, so we found that although the older population had a. A higher absolute risk reduction, they also had a higher absolute baseline risk of death as well.So it's really difficult to distinguish whether or not that finding was related to the health check being more beneficial in older patients or whether or not actually we see a bigger absolute reduction, because in our over 65 population there is a higher baseline risk of, of death. I think we, like, when looking back at the data population who was enrolled in 2009 at the youngest possible age were 40.And even though we had 14 years of follow up, they would only be 57 years old at this point now. So their absolute risk of death is still very low, which might be more difficult to pick up in a study like this.Speaker A00:07:39.760 - 00:08:10.860Yeah, fair enough.And I guess, you know, whenever we look at observational research, I suppose the question is whether people who attend an NHS health check are somehow different than people who don't. And that's, you know, in parallel to the studies. For instance, you know, just focusing on UK Biobank, it's sort of a different population really.And I guess people who attend a health check could potentially be more health conscious or more likely to engage with healthcare. Anyway. How did you try to account for that in this work?Speaker B00:08:11.100 - 00:09:45.530Yeah, and that's a really important point to pick up and something that's really challenging in observational data in general. But so, yeah, we really wanted to make sure we tried to adjust or account...

In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman is joined by golf instructor, Justin Kraft, for a detailed and practical conversation about one of the most important and often misunderstood parts of the golf swing: The Backswing. While impact is often called the “Moment of Truth,” Justin explains why the backswing plays a major role in helping golfers control the clubface, swing path, and quality of strike.  A better backswing can make impact easier to repeat, reduce the need for compensations, and help golfers create a more functional delivery into the ball. Mark and Justin begin at address, discussing posture, spine tilt, shoulder tilt, hip bend, distance from the golf ball, and how setup can either support or sabotage the swing before the club ever moves.  They then move through the key checkpoints of the backswing, including the takeaway, shaft-parallel position, lead-arm-parallel position, recentering, wrist structure, trail-arm motion, pressure shift, and the top of the backswing. The message of this episode is clear: If you want to strike the ball more consistently, stop treating the backswing like an afterthought. Build a better setup, understand the checkpoints, avoid the danger zones, and create a backswing that matches your body and supports your delivery.  In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why the backswing matters even though impact determines ball flight. How a better backswing can improve face control, path, and strike. Why many golf shots are affected before the club ever moves. How posture influences rotation, low point, and delivery. What shirt buttons, belt buckle position, and spine tilt can tell you at address. Why shoulder tilt matters in a proper setup.  How to check your distance from the golf ball. Why an over-arched lower back can restrict rotation and create problems. How hip bend helps create athletic readiness. How to begin the takeaway without snatching the hands. Why the hands and clubhead should not be confused in the takeaway. What golfers should look for when the shaft is parallel to the ground. Why positions are checkpoints, not places to freeze the swing. How to create better depth and wrist structure by lead-arm parallel. Why recentering starts before the backswing is finished. How the trail foot helps stop sway and begin moving pressure back toward the target. What danger zones to avoid at P2, P3, and the top of the backswing. Why the trail arm should fold naturally without getting too narrow or too wide. How a better top-of-backswing position can make transition easier. Why many slicers should avoid trying to “turn open” too soon, and A simple drill to help golfers feel a more functional top-of-backswing position. Key Takeaways: Impact is the moment of truth, but the backswing can make that moment easier or harder to manage. A good setup gives golfers a better chance to rotate, shift pressure, and return the club consistently. Posture matters because it influences rotation, pressure shift, angle of attack, low point, and delivery. The backswing is a motion, not a series of forced positions. Golfers should swing through checkpoints rather than try to place the club in perfect spots. There are acceptable corridors in the backswing, not just one perfect model. Hand path and clubhead path are different, and confusing them can create major takeaway issues. Recentered pressure should happen through ground force and athletic motion, not a forced slide. The trail arm should fold naturally while still maintaining usable width and structure. The top of the backswing should match the player's mobility, body type, and delivery tendencies. Many slicers make things worse by trying to turn open too soon. A functional backswing can help reduce steepness, improve contact, and make the swing more repeatable. Better ball-striking often begins before the downswing ever starts. Be sure to watch this episode on YouTube as Justin demonstrates the backswing and how to correctly swing through correct positions en route to a loaded, complete backswing.  Search and subscribe to Mark Immelman on YouTube.

Elliott reflects on his wrestling roots behind his trademark “awkward” style, the longevity that still has him ranked in the Top 15 at 39 years old, and how his approach to accepting fights have put him in a position to accumulate UFC flyweight records that place him alongside (and in some categories ahead of) Demetrious Johnson.After the second interview, Jim and Matt go deeper on their other biggest UFC Shanghai takeaways before wrapping up with a look ahead to tomorrow's DWCS card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Prime Minister had told striking public servants they should be at work. 10,000 public service workers are set to walk off the job next week. The public service minister has called the strikes politically motivated - a claim the union rejects. While a newly-released letter has revealed the number of agencies that could be cut, the government's kicked that til after the election. Political reporter Giles Dexter reports.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the terrifying case of Richard Ramirez, the serial killer and sexual predator who turned the summer of 1985 into a season of fear across Southern California. Striking seemingly at random, Ramirez slipped into homes after dark, attacking men, women, and children with a brutality that left investigators struggling to find a pattern -- or predict where he would strike next. As the body count grew, so did the panic, until a crucial forensic clue and an extraordinary public manhunt finally brought the Night Stalker's reign of terror to an end. Candice examines the psychology behind Ramirez's escalating violence, the chaotic investigation that raced to stop him, and how one killer transformed the most intimate place imaginable -- the home -- into a source of fear for millions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Hardie reports on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, specifically Russia's rejection of a Black Sea ceasefire in favor of striking Ukrainian food supplies. He notes that while Russia maintains a maritime blockade advantage, Ukraine is retaliating with high-precision long-range drone strikes against Russian oil refineries and defense plants. Hardie suggests that the Kremlin may be receptive to a moratorium on deep-strike operations because their own infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable. He concludes that Ukraine currently holds a tactical edge in drone technology, aided by Western intelligence to bypass Russian air defenses. (6)

Bridget Toomey reports the Houthis have escalated their regional campaign by striking Saudi Arabia's Jazan refinery, demonstrating their ability to disrupt global energy markets despite recent defense pacts. Within Yemen, the Houthis are intensifying attacks on government-held ports like Mocha and oil-rich regions like Marib to expand their territorial control. These strikes often target civilian displacement camps, using ballistic missiles and drones to sow terror and gain leverage in future negotiations. While Saudi Arabia pursues diplomatic off-ramps through Omani mediation, the Houthis continue to use military pressure to force an agreement favorable to their long-term dominance. (6)
