I don't want to say anything or do anything that offends you. Maybe you can walk with me on this journey.""The clan mothers would have watched you as you grew up... and then they would select you. As they're selecting you, they're also mentoring you, and there's a rite of passage along the way.""If you were selected to be one of those chiefs, you could never abuse that authority... because the clan mothers would remove you from that position as quickly as they put you into it."ResourcesWebsite: Mike Lickers at Royal RhoadesAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.

A broken arm, a cheap camera, and a circus scene that did not wait for permission. We sit down with my old friend Hamish McCormick, known worldwide as Carnival Cinema, to trace how a performer becomes the person quietly documenting everyone else, and why that insider perspective changes what a live performance documentary can be.We go back to the Australian circus festivals that shaped a generation, especially the Tasmania gatherings where you camp in the bush, swap skills all day, then try wild new ideas at night for an audience of peers who actually know what they are watching. That pressure to experiment, plus the weird joy of being totally offline, created companies, characters, and friendships that still run through the contemporary circus world. If you care about circus history, sideshow culture, or showmanship, this part is a masterclass in how a creative community forms.From there we follow Hamish's path through juggling, slack rope, Rock and Roll Circus, and the early “folk circus” era before everything became optimized for social media. We talk about pre-YouTube life: VHS tape trading, MiniDV archives, and the deep nerd joy of DVD commentaries and special features. Then we land on the real origin of Carnival Cinema: an injury that forced Hamish offstage, put the camera in his hands, and eventually opened doors backstage because performers trusted him to get the shot and protect the people in it.If you enjoyed this, subscribe, share it with a friend who loves film or live performance, and leave a review so more curious listeners can find the show.Support the show...After a long abscence our Merch Shop is back!

Hey Slaycaters! Set your expectations to 'sad' as we take on a case from the wilds of Tasmania that's as tragic as it is mysterious. In 2023, Belgian backpacker Celine Cremer, 31, set off for a solo hike near Philosopher's Falls. When she failed to return, an extensive search was launched through some of the most rugged wilderness in Australia. And what happened next would turn this seemingly simple hiking trip into a story we can't stop thinking about. Join us Down Under for yet another case that proves the most beautiful vacation destinations can sometimes hide the darkest stories. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, and please stay safe out there!

Fourth-generation beef producer Stafford Ives-Heres is building Shanford Park on Tasmania's north-west coast with one eye firmly on the generations still to come.From starting with 10 cattle and working cray boats to fund his growth, to succession, leasing land and questioning whether owning more country always makes commercial sense, Stafford shares how he's thinking about building a family business that's valuable enough to be taken on, not simply sold.We chat about:Growing up at Shanford Park and being the last of four kids to become interested in farmingStarting with 10 cattle as a teenagerWorking cray boats along Tasmania's remote west coastUsing off-farm income to build livestock ownershipWhy the family moved from dairy into beefThe beginnings of Tasmanian Seaweed FertilisersSeparating family businesses to make succession workGrowing livestock numbers through ownership, leasing and share farmingWhy Stafford questions the need to own every hectareBuilding equity and optionality for the next generationCreating pathways into agriculture without owning landWhy professional development and strong networks matterChapters00:00 The realities of regional connectivity05:09 Meet Stafford Ives-Heres06:17 Farming on Tasmania's north-west coast10:21 Starting with 10 cattle12:15 Leaving farming for the cray industry16:24 Lessons from working at sea18:01 From dairy farming to seaweed fertiliser23:40 Separating businesses and navigating succession25:36 Growing the beef business28:29 Having children and thinking generations ahead31:04 Playing the long game with land and scale32:22 Professional development, equity and what's next36:18 Leasing land and creating pathways into agriculture39:05 Rabobank's Executive Development Program Rabobank Partner info:This Humans of Agriculture podcast is proudly brought to you by Rabobank.At Rabobank, support goes beyond banking.

The Dandy Warhols' Zia McCabe has spent decades making music, but her latest creative chapter is taking her somewhere unexpected: immersive art.Returning to Australia in November, McCabe says the band's relationship with Australian audiences remains special, saying “once Aussies decide they love you, they love you forever.”But alongside the Dandy Warhols' upcoming shows, McCabe will unveil SEE HEAR NOW at Tasmania's MONA, an interactive musical installation opening to the public on November 26.The installation grew from McCabe's desire to transform spaces and create environments that tell stories beyond music for everyone. Visitors will trigger musical elements through movement and interaction, with layered sounds creating an ever-changing composition.A stationary bicycle, for example, can power a fan that activates a wind chime, while a central drone ensures the room is never silent.For McCabe, the project also represents a shift in how she sees herself. Raised in an artistic family, she once viewed music as separate from the visual art practised by her mother, father and sister. Now, she says she has embraced being an artist beyond simply being a musician.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan Game Board Earth: Retrograde Energy, Karma's End, Twin Flame Mirrors, and Signs From Beyond Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan of The Metaphysical Hour talk retrograde season, the end of karma, twin-flame mirroring, and signs from loved ones and UFOs, while producer Tiffany relays listener questions and a worldwide roll call of hometowns. Opening Banter and the Missing Chicken Julia Cannon opens The Metaphysical Hour by welcoming co-host Tracie Mahan and their producer Tiffany, whom she calls the show's "question goddess." The two hosts recall the previous week's episode, recorded live at a retreat, where Tiffany appeared on camera despite trying to hide behind her monitor when the computer failed and she had to hold up her phone. Julia then shares a personal story from before the broadcast: one of her backyard chickens, a black hen she calls Blackie, seemed to vanish from her fully enclosed coop. After searching everywhere, Julia goes inside to meditate and receives the realization that she overlooked the roost, the last place the flock settles for the night, where she finds Blackie safe. The lighthearted exchange sets the tone for the evening, with Tracie and Julia teasing each other about being "crazy" and "crazier" before turning to the audience for questions submitted through the chat. Shining Lights and Shifting Energies Tracie Mahan invites listeners to check in with their locations, and Tiffany reads a stream of cities and countries flooding the chat, from San Francisco and Kansas to Poland, Israel, Australia, Scotland, and Tasmania. Julia Cannon frames the roll call as "lighting the grid," reminding listeners that each person is an irreplaceable puzzle piece in what she calls "game board Earth." The conversation shifts to astrology, as Tracie explains that Venus and Mercury are both heading into retrograde in October, a period she associates with forced endings and necessary change. She describes a call from her son who abruptly quit his job the same day, unaware of the astrological shift underway. Julia builds on the idea, urging listeners who feel a persistent nudge toward change to act on their own rather than waiting for the universe to force the issue, since resisting a needed shift only makes the transition harder. Both hosts agree that humans want new outcomes while resisting the very changes required to reach them. How Julia and Tracie First Met Tiffany reads an audience question asking how Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan first met. Tracie tells the story of attending a small lecture in Honolulu featuring Doreen Virtue and Julia's mother, Dolores Cannon, years before she and Julia became close. After the talk, Tracie approached Julia, who was sitting quietly in a pew, but got only short answers; she later realizes Julia was simply shy rather than dismissive. The two do not reconnect until after Dolores passes away, when Tracie invites Julia onto her own podcast, and Julia recalls that Tracie kept saying she felt a "Bat-Signal" prompting her to call. Julia adds that it was actually her late father nudging Tracie to reach out. The pair also recall Dolores's final in-person class, which grew from a planned 100 attendees to 130, drawn from roughly 52 countries, ending in a standing ovation that moved Julia to tears. Julia reflects that her mother never set out to change the world, only to share what she found interesting. Joy, Play, and the Santa Fe Retreat Asked about her favorite moment from the recent Santa Fe retreat, Tracie Mahan says recording The Metaphysical Hour live in front of an audience was a highlight, recalling a moment where a blow-up ball apparently struck someone during the fun. Julia Cannon says she loved bringing playful, lighthearted elements into the retreat, pushing back on the idea that spiritual work must always be treated as heavy or serious. She notes that she and Tracie sometimes face criticism for laughing and having fun on the air, insisting that joy is actually central to the work rather than a distraction from it. Tracie explains the practical reasoning behind the message: people manifest more effectively from a joyful vibration than from stress or lack, so choosing to have fun, spend time with friends, or simply lighten up can shift what a person draws into their life. Julia adds that getting swept up in "serious business" thinking is common but ultimately unnecessary, since remembering who they are matters more than treating every experience with gravity. Karma's End and the Twin Flame Mirror A listener asks whether the "karma cops" are on vacation, prompting Julia Cannon to explain that karma, in the sense of consequences carried across lifetimes, has effectively ended; actions now circle back within the same lifetime, sometimes within days, rather than being deferred to a future incarnation. Tracie Mahan adds that with collective karma largely resolved, people are now turning inward to heal personal wounds rather than working things out through other people. Julia describes outer conflicts as reflections that expose what still needs attention within oneself, noting that the intensity of an emotional reaction points to the size of the underlying issue. Tracie extends the discussion to what she calls twin flame relationships, describing them not as a single destined soulmate but as an intense mirroring dynamic in which two people unconsciously trigger each other's deepest wounds. She advises against confronting a partner about the trigger and instead encourages sitting with the feeling directly, since working through it either strengthens the relationship or allows an easier, drama-free separation. Signs, Sightings, and Trusting What You Cannot See Responding to a question about sensing loved ones across planes, Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan agree that people can feel crossed-over relatives and distant loved ones by tuning into familiar energy and frequency, comparing it to remote energy work. Tracie recommends simply asking for signs such as pennies, feathers, or a favorite song. She then describes watching two unusually bright, motionless lights near the Little Dipper while walking her dogs with her son Josh, who refused to look up until the lights vanished the moment he nearly did. Julia suggests the sighting was meant for Tracie alone. The two also discuss the idea of simultaneous lifetimes using an ocean-and-bucket metaphor for infinite timelines, and Tracie addresses a listener's question about widespread depression by linking it to astrological upheaval and the discomfort of not knowing what lies ahead. Julia closes the show reminding listeners that trusting themselves is the point, before directing them to traciemahan.com, qhhtofficial.com, and soulspeakofficial.com.

In an airport gift shop in Tasmania, customers got a real surprise as they were looking at shelves of stuffed animals. One lady claimed that she saw some huge brown eyes moving on one of the creatures. It was real. It was a live possum hiding amongst the kangaroos and Tasmanian devils. The airport retail manager, Liam Bloomfield, gave the explanation that probably, “The possum saw all the stuffed animals and wanted to blend in.” I don't know how that possum got into the airport terminal, but he got caught. He was removed unharmed. If you try to just blend in or hide some place you shouldn't be, you will probably get caught. Be active in doing what God called you to do where God placed you. That's the right place.

Welcome to Episode 326 of Autism Parenting Secrets.This week, I'm joined by Tyler Hudson, author of The Missing Lyrics: A Father's Story of Autism, Grief, and a Society in Denial.Tyler's son Lyric is 18 and has profound autism. Our sons are close in age, and while every family's journey is unique, there are many commonalities in what we've experienced.Tyler has a remarkable ability to put words around complicated and emotionally charged experiences that many parents have felt but struggled to articulate.We talk about the grief that can accompany this journey, how a parent's perspective changes over time, the enormous breadth of the autism spectrum, and the courage required to question prevailing narratives and stand up for what you believe is right.We also explore the importance of presuming competence and recognizing that a child who struggles to communicate may understand far more than we realize.And we confront a distinction that sits at the heart of Tyler's advocacy: accepting, loving, and supporting people with autism today does not mean we stop asking difficult questions about why so many children are struggling or seeking to prevent unnecessary suffering for future generations.Those goals are not in conflict. The secret this week is… We Need Acceptance AND Prevention You'll Discover:Why Hope Changes As The Journey Unfolds (3:11)How Grief Can Lead To Acceptance (13:22)Why The Autism Spectrum Needs More Distinction (22:10)The Difference Between Being Nice And Doing What's Right (39:56)Why Presuming Competence Matters So Much (47:33) About Our Guest:Tyler Hudson is a husband, father of three, musician and advocate for families living at the deep end of the spectrum.

When technology can manipulate information faster than we can verify it, who—or what—do we trust to tell us the truth?Join us for a thought-provoking conversation where murder, mystery, mayhem, technology, politics, and morality collide.Duncan spent thirty years advising governments and companies on energy, infrastructure, transactions, and policy. He has also written nonfiction for international organizations, including the Asian Development Bank and the United Nations Environment Program, advocating for policy changes and investment related to climate change. Now, he has turned his experience with governments, policy, finance, and global affairs toward fiction.The Truth Chamber began with a series of “what if?” questions Duncan started exploring in 2022. What might happen if outside forces attempted to exploit America's political divisions? How could artificial intelligence change the battle over information? And what happens when people trying to protect democratic institutions begin questioning how far they themselves should go?The resulting novel combines political intrigue, artificial intelligence, assassination attempts, foreign influence, disinformation, and moral dilemmas in a high-stakes story about the increasingly complicated relationship between truth and power.At the center of the novel is Admiral Liam Driscoll, a grieving man drawn into presidential candidate Anna Hoffman's campaign as political violence escalates. Their team recruits a Stanford Ph.D. student developing an AI technology known as the Truth Chamber, hoping it can help uncover who is behind the violence.But the conspiracy extends far beyond one campaign.As domestic turmoil collides with international ambitions, Liam and his team confront an unsettling question: How much can you compromise the principles you are trying to protect before you become part of the problem?Dr. Katherine and Duncan explore:Duncan's journey from investment banking and international policy work to political thriller authorThe real-world concerns and “what if?” questions that inspired The Truth ChamberHow he created a fictional American presidential race while separating speculation from realityThe Truth Chamber itself and the possibilities and dangers of AI in determining what is trueDisinformation, propaganda, foreign influence, and the manipulation of public perceptionThe global power struggles operating behind the novel's domestic political conflictLiam Driscoll's central moral dilemma: how far can someone go to protect democratic institutions without compromising the principles behind them?The challenges of writing politically charged fiction for readers who may bring very different perspectives to the storyHow Duncan's career and international experiences informed the novel's geopolitical worldWhy thriller fiction offers a compelling space for exploring uncomfortable questions about truth, technology, morality, and powerWhat Duncan is writing nextDuncan Ritchie is a former—he jokingly says “recovering”—investment banker who grew up on a plantation in North Borneo and graduated from the University of Western Australia.During a thirty-year career, he advised governments and companies on major energy and infrastructure transactions and policy. He has also written persuasive nonfiction for multilateral organizations, including ADB and UNEP, focusing on climate-related policy and investment.Concerned by international conflict, political extremism, and growing questions surrounding misinformation, Duncan began developing speculative “what if?” scenarios in 2022. Those ideas eventually became his political thriller, The Truth Chamber.Duncan now lives in Tasmania with his Malinois pup, Aletheia—Alé for short—who, thinks he is slightly mad.The Truth Chamber is a speculative political thriller examining AI, disinformation, foreign influence, political violence, power, morality, and the fragile boundary between protecting principles and violating them.

The gain comes from a battery that grows from 19 kWh to 41.2 kWh and a stronger motor. The T8 manages 117 miles, easily beating the BMW X3 30e (56 miles) and Mercedes GLC PHEV (80 miles), and the XC90 PHEV rises to 100 miles, with both long-range hybrids expected in North America.BYD ATTO 1 OFFERED FOR $19,990 DRIVEAWAYBYD is offering the Atto 1 Essential for A$19,990 driveaway in Australia until 15 December unless extended, a 26% discount from A$23,990 plus on-road costs. That makes it the country's cheapest new car and undercuts the petrol Kia Picanto. It has a 65 kW motor, a 30 kWh LFP battery, 220 km WLTP range, 65 kW DC charging, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and adaptive cruise control, while the rival Geely EX2 starts from A$26,490 plus on-road costs.HYUNDAI AND KIA EXPORT 591,000 ELECTRIFIED VEHICLESHyundai and Kia exported 591,000 electrified vehicles in the first half of the year, up 22.3%, according to the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association. Hybrids drove the growth as Hyundai prioritised the US, lifting hybrid exports there by 38% in response to IRA tax-credit changes and consumer demand. Combined EV exports rose 12.7% to 162,000, but Hyundai's fell 12.4% while Kia's climbed 34.3% to almost 104,000 between January and July, helped by the EV2, EV4, EV5 and PV5 van in Europe.RENAULT UNVEILS 800 V ELECTRIC TRAFIC VANRenault unveiled the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, built on the 800 V RGEV medium-van platform with an 81 kWh battery. It claims more than 470 km of range, nearly 690 km in urban driving (not an official figure), and 280 km added in 20 minutes of charging. Renault says total cost of ownership is 10% lower than a combustion equivalent, and the van adds vehicle-to-load, new multi-link rear suspension, and a planned electric power take-off for conversions such as refrigeration and ambulances. It is part of a plan for five new LCVs by 2028, following 2.8 million Trafics sold since 1980.SCANIA SAYS BATTERY LAYOUT CAN INCREASE RANGE TO 720 KMScania's new Battery Behind Cab layout adds two MP20 packs behind the cab to supplement chassis-mounted batteries, raising electric truck range to up to 720 km for long-haul operators. Scania claims this doesn't reduce operational flexibility, and the layout works with its aerodynamic Increased Vehicle Dimension front and vehicles longer than 16.5 m, alongside the rollout of megawatt charging (MCS).CATL UNVEILS TECHTRANS 2 TRUCK BATTERYCATL unveiled Techtrans 2, a modular battery for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses, at IAA Transportation. It claims up to 1,000 km of range, 80% charging in 25 minutes via a megawatt charger, and 70% capacity retention after 12 years or 1.5 million km. At 170 Wh/kg it still forces fleets to trade range against payload, while 300–400 Wh/kg chemistries head to test vehicles in 2027 and solid-state could double density, starting in high-end applications.ENGLAND PLANS CROSS-PAVEMENT EV CHARGING RIGHTSFollowing consultation, the government has confirmed plans for permitted development rights that would let eligible homes in England with on-street parking install cross-pavement charging gullies without a planning application. Highways authority approval remains a separate requirement. With four in ten UK households lacking off-street parking and relying on pricier public charging, the change aims to cut costs and red tape, though it won't stop others taking the space outside your home.GERMANY CONSIDERS PLUG-IN HYBRID AND EREV TARIFFSGermany will seek cabinet approval on 14 October for economic-security measures that could include tariffs on plug-in hybrids and EREVs. Chinese makers have used these vehicles to sidestep EU tariffs on battery-electric cars and grow European sales. Ministers are also weighing mandatory joint ventures with European majority ownership and stronger investment requirements, a tougher, more reciprocal China stance for export-reliant Germany before it seeks uncertain EU backing.JAC PLANS 2027 HUNTER PHEV CAB-CHASSIS FOR AUSTRALIAJAC plans to launch a Hunter PHEV cab-chassis in Australia in 2027 to rival the BYD Shark 6, letting tradespeople, fleets and farmers fit trays, canopies or toolboxes. It is expected, but not confirmed, to share the powertrain of the dual cab. That dual cab is now in dealerships from A$50,000 plus on-road costs for the Pro, and offers up to 100 km electric range, more than 1,000 km combined, 3.3 kW V2L, 3.5-tonne towing, 915 kg payload, and seven-year commercial warranty, servicing and roadside cover.HULL 096 REACHES SOUTH AMERICAHull 096, the world's largest battery-electric ship, built by Incat in Tasmania, has arrived in South America after a heavy-lift vessel carried it from Hobart across the Pacific and around Cape Horn in under a month. After commissioning, it will carry more than 2,000 passengers on a 30-nautical-mile River Plate route between Buenos Aires and Colonia, Uruguay. Incat is also building three similar ferries that will be the EU's largest of their type.

Tight supply, rising values, and active investment strategies are putting Tasmania back on investors' radar. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Bobby Haeri, founder of Acquisition House, to discuss Tasmania's resurgence and what it could mean for investors. Over the last couple of months, Tasmania's property market has been showing signs of a comeback, with rising values, tight supply, and stronger investor demand creating opportunities as other markets lose momentum. The pair look at the supply shortage driving competition, with first home buyers and investors returning to the market and multiple offers becoming increasingly common across some areas. They also examine what buyer's agents are seeing on the ground, from agents calling with off-market opportunities to early signs that market conditions may be turning, while warning investors not to overpay for the promise of an exclusive deal. The conversation then turns to active investment strategies, including adding granny flats to suitable properties to boost rental income and value, and why investors may need to do more than simply wait for the market to rise.

Today's episode — S05E190, Thursday September 10, 2026: Main story: 109 fast radio bursts have been used to measure how much galactic feedback has smoothed out the matter in the universe. A fast radio burst lasts about a millisecond, and on its way to us it is dispersed — low radio frequencies slowed more than high ones by free electrons along the path, exactly the way a prism separates white light. The size of that delay counts the ordinary matter the burst passed through. Writing in Nature Astronomy on 8 September, a team led by Kritti Sharma at Caltech, with Vikram Ravi, Liam Connor and Elisabeth Krause (University of Arizona), used 109 bursts localised to host galaxies out to redshift ~0.3 — most of them from Caltech's DSA-110 — to constrain the suppression of matter clustering by feedback, and the gas fractions of groups and clusters between 10^13 and 10^15 solar masses. They find more gas retained than the X-ray picture implies: gas fractions about 1.9σ above stacked eROSITA measurements, and slightly above the Atacama Cosmology Telescope's kSZ constraints, consistent with the bursts counting cool gas that X-rays miss. The constraint is already competitive with both of those far larger experiments, cutting the uncertainty on clustering at these scales by roughly a factor of eight. That matters because feedback is the confound sitting under the S8 tension — it mimics the signature of massive neutrinos and of some dark energy and dark matter models. The technique's foundation is Australian: the Macquart relation, established with ASKAP in Western Australia in 2020, is what found the universe's missing ordinary matter in the first place. The rest of the news: ·         Hypersoft X-ray sources: NASA and the Chandra X-ray Center announced a new class of object on 9 September — 84 sources across six galaxies (M31, M101 and four ellipticals) that emit more than eight times as many photons below 0.3 keV as just above it, exceeding 10^38 erg/s in that narrow band and more again in the extreme ultraviolet. Led by Mustafa Muhibullah (University of Alabama) with Jimmy Irwin and Rosanne Di Stefano (CfA), published in Nature Astronomy. They are likely compact objects accreting from companions, and may be both the long-sought progenitors of Type Ia supernovae and a significant unaccounted source of ionising radiation. ·         A rendezvous with Halley's Comet: a trajectory study circulated on 6 September by Roberto Flores and Elena Fantino (Khalifa University), Mauro Pontani (Sapienza), and Ivano Bertini and Cesare Barbieri (Padua) sets out the first Halley rendezvous achievable with proven hardware — unpowered Jupiter and Saturn gravity assists plus deep-space low-thrust arcs, a Hall-effect thruster on a standard RTG, ~2,000 kg launch mass with ~750 kg of instruments, launching August 2036 or September 2037 and arriving in 2060, about a year before Halley's 2061 perihelion. Months alongside the comet instead of Giotto's minutes at 68 km/s. ·         Apollo Maneuvers 2026: US Space Command announced on 8 September that it had completed the first live-fly orbital manoeuvre exercise of its kind, moving real operational satellites across low, medium and geosynchronous orbits with Operation Olympic Defender allies (Australia among them) and commercial operators via its Commercial Integration Cell. Named for the US Army's 1941 Louisiana Maneuvers. The practical consequence is more unpredictable objects in an already crowded region, and in-orbit refuelling becoming load-bearing. ·         Skywatch: New Moon on 11 September at 14:27 AEST (04:27 UTC) makes tonight and tomorrow the darkest nights of the month. Southern Hemisphere — the galactic core still high after dark, and Venus well placed low in the west-south-west, 7.4° from Spica and building to greatest brilliancy on 18 September at magnitude −4.8. Saturn rises about an hour after sunset for everyone, heading for its 4 October opposition with the rings about 7° from edge-on. North America — the pre-dawn sky, with Mars in Gemini passing Castor on the 12th and Pollux on the 17th, and Jupiter below it in Cancer. Plus a convoy of CMEs from AR4524 arriving since 8 September, two G1 storms already recorded and G2 possible: aurora chances at both ends of the planet, including Tasmania, coastal southern Victoria and New Zealand's South Island.

In this interview, Shaun Gallagher discusses The Self and its Disorders (Oxford University Press, 2024) A ground-breaking theory of the self as a pattern Interdisciplinary, drawing on philosophy of mind, phenomenology, cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and dynamical systems analysis Discusses the role of self-narrative in self-formation, its breakdown in various psychopathologies, and its role in therapy Explores the phenomenology of agency and its disruption in various psychopathologies Outlines a 4E (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive) approach to understanding the effects of different therapies for psychopathologies Shaun Gallagher offers an account of psychopathologies as disorders of the self. The Self and its Disorders develops an interdisciplinary approach to an 'integrative' perspective in psychiatry. In contrast to some integrative approaches that focus on narrow brain-based conceptions, or on symptomology, this book takes its bearings from embodied and enactive conceptions of human experience. Gallagher offers an understanding of the self as a pattern of processes that include bodily, experiential, affective, cognitive, intersubjective, narrative, ecological and normative factors. He provides a philosophical analysis of the notion of self-pattern; then, drawing on phenomenological, developmental, clinical and experimental evidence, he proposes a method to study the effects of psychopathologies on the self-pattern. The book includes specific discussions of schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression, borderline personality disorder, and autism, among other disorders, as well as the effects of torture and solitary confinement. It also explores a variety of issues that relate to therapeutic approaches, including deep brain stimulation, meditation-based interventions, and the use of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Prof Shaun Gallagher, Lillian and Morrie Moss Chair of Excellence in Philosophy, University of Memphis Shaun Gallagher, PhD, Hon DPhil., is the Lillian and Morrie Moss Professor of Excellence in Philosophy at the University of Memphis, and Professorial Fellow at the School of Liberal Arts, University of Wollongong. He was a Humboldt Foundation Anneliese Maier Research Fellow (2012-18) and has held Honorary Professorships at Tromsø University (Norway), Durham (UK), and Copenhagen (DK), as well as visiting positions at Cambridge, Lyon, Paris, Berlin, Oxford, and Rome. His areas of research include phenomenology, philosophy of mind, embodied cognition, social cognition, and concepts of self.

Paul Pritchard is one of the most significant figures in British climbing. He became one of Britain's leading rock climbers and mountaineers, with major first ascents across the UK, Patagonia, Baffin Island, Yosemite, Kyrgyzstan and the Karakoram. His first ascent of the West Face of Mount Asgard in 1994 remains one of his defining achievements.He was also the first author to have won the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature twice — for Deep Play, and later, The Totem Pole.In 1998, everything changed.While climbing Tasmania's Totem Pole, Paul was struck in the head by a falling rock, sustaining a near-fatal brain injury that left him with hemiplegia. He spent the next year in hospital and has described the decades since as his longest project: healing, adapting, and learning to live one moment at a time.And yet today, Paul says he gives thanks to the Totem Pole every morning.This is not simply a comeback story. It's a conversation about mortality, fear, acceptance, freedom, identity, and what happens when the life you expected disappears.We talk about why losing choices can sometimes make us freer, why fear doesn't need to disappear before we act, how aging changes the need to prove ourselves, and Paul's idea of the “dignity of risk.”If none of us knows how much time we have, what are we still postponing?REFERENCESPaul's excellent books:: Deep Play | The Totem Pole | The Longest Climb | The Mountain Path on his website at https://www.paulpritchard.com.au/booksPaul's Instagram: @paulpritchard

CEO José Muñoz said Europe is one of the most competitive regions on the planet and that every EV credit protects the ICE and hybrid business, while the claimed 30% battery-cost reduction is a planned saving on 2027 models using mid-nickel NCM cells rather than an achieved one.HYUNDAI CLAIMS MORE THAN 600 MILES FOR SANTA FE EREVHyundai's first range-extender EV, the Santa Fe EREV, is due in North America in the first half of 2027 with a claimed 600-plus miles of total range from a battery less than half the size of a comparable EV's, using electric motors for drive and an engine solely as a generator. Production begins in Alabama in early 2027, with Hyundai expecting EREVs to matter more in North America than in Europe, and an Ioniq V EREV planned for China plus a Genesis EREV in early 2027.HYUNDAI PLANS INTERMEDIATE N PERFORMANCE TIERHyundai is creating an unnamed performance tier between N Line trims and full N models, using N powertrains but at lower cost and better suited to daily driving. It sees the high-volume middle ground as a sales opportunity that could also free the flagship N cars, such as the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, to become more track-focused, though no technical details have been disclosed.HYUNDAI SELECTS KALUZA FOR SMART CHARGINGHyundai has named London-based Kaluza its global partner for EV smart charging and vehicle-to-grid services, starting with Hyundai and Kia in the UK and expanding to Australia, with OVO becoming the first UK retailer to offer smart charging through the Kia App. The deal sits within Hyundai Motor Group's AllDayEnergy programme launched in July, expanding existing pilots in Jeju, the US and the Netherlands, with V2G services planned for next year.OMODA 4 SET FOR BARCELONA ESPORTS DEBUTChery brand Omoda will launch its 4.4-metre Omoda 4 compact crossover in Europe at the Valorant Champions Tour EMEA finals in Barcelona from 28 to 30 August, targeting younger technology-oriented buyers, before an Italian debut at the Turin show on 11 September. Europe accounts for more than 40 percent of Omoda and Jaecoo's global sales, and Chery, Europe's second bestselling Chinese automaker in July behind BYD, opened its first European hub and R&D centre in Barcelona in April.VOLVO ADDS SHARED ANIMAL HAZARD ALERTSA Volvo software update lets EX60, EX90 and ES90 cars use sensors and cameras to detect large animals such as deer and sheep, upload the location to the cloud and warn approaching vehicles, including those on the European Data for Road Safety programme, with added alerts for pedestrians, cyclists, roadworks and accidents ahead. Safety chief Åsa Haglund said the newer models' computing power makes this possible but that warnings must be trustworthy, since false positives deteriorate trust in driver-assistance systems.VOLTPOST ADDS CEILING AND SURFACE EV CHARGERSVoltpost has extended its Voltpost Air range beyond lamppost retrofits with ceiling-mounted chargers that lower retractable cables in parking garages and surface-mounted units for walls, pedestals and kerbside sites without poles. It claims installations take hours rather than days and can cut costs by up to 70%, though it has told Massachusetts regulators each charger needs 40A and dual-port units 80A, with some sites requiring power upgrades or a new meter.PLUG-IN SOLAR PANELS LEGALISED ACROSS GREAT BRITAINPlug-in solar panels became legal to buy and use across Great Britain on 27 August, with kits generating up to 800W, meeting up to 20% of a home's electricity use and saving up to £110 a year, after independent safety testing found compliant panels safe under a specification stricter than Germany's. Complete kits are expected to cost around £400–£600 initially and will be stocked by Amazon, Argos, Currys, B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes, with government assuming 15% of households pay for mounting help and 20% need minor electrical work.NIO CERTIFIED USED EVS START AT 26,900 EUROSNio's cheapest certified used EV in Europe costs 26,900 euros without a battery, which buyers instead subscribe to under Battery as a Service at 169 euros a month for 75kWh or 289 euros for 100kWh in Germany and the Netherlands, adding close to 7,000 euros over the remaining warranty for the larger pack. All cars are 2023 or 2024 builds with roughly two years of warranty left, drawn from Nio's own fleet and given full technical, cosmetic and structural inspections, original-parts repairs and no scheduled servicing for six months or 10,000 kilometres.APTERA SECURES UP TO $44 MILLION INVESTMENTAptera Motors has secured a strategic investment of up to $44 million from Shanghai Launch Automotive Technology, or Launch Design, covering fixtures, tooling, testing and pilot production for its first 40 solar electric vehicles at its planned Carlsbad, California site. The company is targeting the start of production in Q4 2026, with first vehicle bodies and chassis expected in October 2026.VESSEV RAISES $A27 MILLION FOR HYDROFOIL PRODUCTIONAuckland-based Vessev has raised $US19 million in Series A and follow-on funding led by Blackbird Ventures to scale production of its electric hydrofoiling vessels, grow its market team and develop onboard software and telemetry. The 2017-founded firm, which launched the 40-nautical-mile VS-9 in 2024 and has since added the VS-12, has delivery agreements in Sydney, Perth and Tasmania and named FlyTahoe as its first US customer, though its first Perth VS-9s only arrive in early 2027 pending classification and regulatory approval.
