From her earliest years, Peggy Phoenix Dubro had a deep desire to "remember God". As a young woman she had a profound series of experiences resulting in the spontaneous opening of all her chakras. This opening produced an awareness of unconditional love, and the realization of the connectedness of all things in the universe. Her desire to know even more, and to live daily life in the consciousness of this state, led to a fifteen-year journey that resulted in another profound opening, this time an inimitable experience giving rise to the discovery of the Universal Calibration Lattice (UCL). At first, Peggy's focus was on her own personal spiritual evolution. In working directly with the electromagnetic nature of the UCL, she realized the possibility existed to develop a way of assisting others in their evolutionary process. In her home town, word soon spread about the results of Peggy's sessions. After working regularly with clients for several years, and stimulated by their requests to know more about what she was doing, Peggy developed a training program to teach others the theory and method of how to do the sessions, and thus the EMF Balancing Technique was born. When these newly trained practitioners began to perform the sessions, their results were also remarkable. Several years later, based on the continuing positive nature of the results, Peggy developed another program, this time a teachers program. Peggy was now passing on the ability to others to teach the work! These training programs have led to the current status of the work - Peggy Phoenix Dubro is now known worldwide as the originator of the EMF Balancing Technique, and the foremost authority on the Universal Calibration Lattice. The technique is now practiced and taught in 70 countries around the world, where people in diverse cultures and religions resonate with the original intent of the EMF work - to know and live ones life as fully as possible in an awareness of the energy of love, the connectedness of all things, and the unique and sacred nature of each human. Method There are thirteen phases in the complete system of the EMF Balancing Technique, each phase containing a session with a distinct form and focus. In each of the first four phases, the practitioner completes a unique series of graceful tai chi like movements while the client lies fully clothed on a massage table. All of the movements are carried out within the Universal Calibration Lattice, a system in the human energy anatomy extending from the central core of the body to an area approximately two feet from the physical body. There is some light contact with the body, but the majority of the session is performed without touching the client. The energy session associated with each phase facilitates the experience of one's self as an energetic being, building the foundation for an evolution of consciousness to that of the Emerging Evolutionary. Primarily, the EMF practitioner is communicating in an unspoken language of energy, delivered via the human to human energetic interaction of the session. The patterns of the session set a resonance and deliver a message of strength and wholeness to the recipient of the session. Many of the movements are accompanied by very specific intents of encouragement spoken by the practitioner to the client. The receiver of the session always responds to this resonance according to his or her own unique wisdom. Every session addresses the very core of the individual, and is an invitation to grow to the next level of wholeness (or wholiness!). Benefits Stephen and Peggy Phoenix Dubro The primary benefit of an EMF Balancing Technique session is the strengthening of the Universal Calibration Lattice - a complex system in the human energy anatomy with a simple purpose - to carry the greater electrical charge that is now available to all human beings.

The final instalment of our series “Perioperative Pain Management” is a panel discussion where we answer the question: What are the various challenges and strategies in managing perioperative pain, particularly with regard to opioid use? The discussion covers the complexities of opioid de-escalation in preoperative periods, the benefits and risks of opioid-free anesthesia, and the use of multimodal approaches. We also touch on the coordination of patient care across multiple specialties and the impact of intraoperative practices on postoperative pain management and long-term opioid use. The session emphasizes the importance of patient education, consistent communication, and empowered collaboration among healthcare providers. The speakers on the panel are; Tim Miller, Professor of Anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center, Fauzia Hasnie, Consultant Lead, Opioid Multidisciplinary Pain Management Clinic, Joint Lead, Combined Sickle-Opioid Virtual Multidisciplinary Clinic Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, and Esteban Salas Rezola, Specialist in Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Pain Therapy at Hospital General Alicante.

We come out of the womb sterile, but that doesn't last for long. All the nooks and crannies of the human body soon become home to microbial life. In this study, scientists took stool samples from 1,000 newborns. Those first colonised by Bifidobacterium longum were half as likely to end up in hospital with a lung infection than those with different starter bacteria.我们从子宫里出来时是无菌的，但这种状态不会持续太久。人体的每个角落和缝隙很快就会成为微生物群落的家园。在这项研究中，科学家们采集了 1000 名新生儿的粪便样本。他们发现那些体内最早被长双歧杆菌占领建立菌群的婴儿，其日后因肺部感染住院的几率仅为携带其它初始菌群婴儿的一半。It's the first time the way our microbial ecosystem forms has been shown to reduce infections. The researchers at UCL and the Sanger Institute said it was a phenomenal finding. Early life is a critical period for developing the immune system and these latest findings could lead to the development of new therapies similar to a probiotic yoghurt to give good bacteria to babies.↳这是首次有研究显示我们体内微生物生态系统的形成方式可以减少感染。来自伦敦大学学院和桑格研究所的研究人员们称这一发现意义重大。生命早期是免疫系统发育的关键时期，这些最新研究成果可能会促进新疗法的开发，类似于益生菌酸奶那样，为婴儿提供有益细菌。

Sign up for the Derek Thompson newsletter. In Game 7 of this year's NBA Finals, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the first quarter while attempting to drive to the basket on an injured calf. It was the third major Achilles injury of the 2025 NBA playoffs. Curiously, Achilles tears are typically an older-dude injury, as they're most common in middle-aged men, according to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Biomechanics. So the sudden clustering of this injury among star athletes in their prime has inspired a lot of head-scratching among NBA fans and even the league itself. “We had already convened a panel of experts before Tyrese's most recent Achilles rupture,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said. When you zoom out from basketball and consider the broader landscape of sports, the injury surge seems quite real. In baseball, we've seen a huge increase in the so-called "Tommy John surgery," which repairs a torn UCL in a pitcher's elbow. In soccer, ACL injuries have been rising, particularly in women's soccer. And that's before we get to the huge amount of media attention that's been paid to concussions in football. What's going on here? Vern Gambetta, a conditioning coach, trainer, and adviser to professional soccer, baseball, basketball, and Olympics teams, explains why major injuries might be surging across sports—and what it tells us about the risks of pushing the human body to its physical limit.

 In the second of special series recorded live at the PSE-CEPR Policy Forum 2025, we are asking, how good is AI at doing real-world job task? And how can we measure their capability without resorting to technical benchmarks that may not mean much in the workplace? Since we all became aware of large language models, LLMs scientists have been attempting to evaluate how good they are at performing expert tasks. The results of those tests can show us whether LLMs  can be useful complements to our work, or even replacements for us, as many fear. But setting or grading a test to decide whether an LLM can do a problem-solving job task, rather than solve an abstract problem, isn't easy to do.  Maria del Rio-Chanona, a computer scientist at UCL, tells Tim Phillips about her innovative work-in-progress, in which she asks an LLM to set a tricky workplace exam, then tells another LLM to take the test – which a third LLM evaluates.

There's been a buzz in Westminster about Blue Labour, the socially conservative group led by peer Maurice Glasman. But where did Blue Labour come from—and how much influence does it really have over government?This week on the Prospect Podcast, Ellen and Alona are joined by political theorist and director of the UCL policy lab Marc Stears, who was one of the founding members of Blue Labour 15 years ago but is now critical of its turn towards the populist right.Marc explains how and why he believes its ideology has shifted and discusses Glasman's connections to Maga: after meeting JD Vance and appearing on Steve Bannon's podcast, why does a Labour peer find common ground with Trumpist Americans?

In the second of our special episodes recorded at the 5th annual STEG conference, Lucas Conwell of UCL talks to Tim Phillips about how the private minibus networks, such a distinctive feature of urban transit in developing country cities, can improve their service when there is little room for public investment or regulation.  If you have ever tried them, they can seem chaotic, but would require large or small policy tweaks to make them work efficiently, and what would those tweaks be? Lucas has mapped both the service and the opinions of passengers for Cape Town's public transit minibuses, and discovered that minimal intervention could improve services, increase security, and decrease wait times.

Thucydides set the 'gold standard' for a strategic analysis of war with his history of the Peloponnesian War: Dr Roel Konijnendijk explains how. Thucydides, who lived almost two-and-a-half millennia ago, revolutionised strategic analysis by asserting the place of human agency rather than attributing events as being shaped by Gods or fate. This is something that Machiavelli repeats centuries later in The Prince. Thucydides claimed to have identified patterns of strategic behaviour that he thought would be enacted 'as long as human nature is the same'. A fascinating question, however, is whether strategists have behaved according to these patterns because they have been inspired to do so by reading Thucydides, or did he truly discover patterns of behaviour that endure throughout time and space? Are modern scholars projecting their own strategic world views into Ancient Greece or has our Ancient Greek heritage determined how we see the world? Finally, did Thucydides think that a world in which 'the strong do what they will and the weak have to put up with it' is the only possible one? Dr Roel Konijnendijk is the Derby Fellow of Ancient History at Lincoln College, Oxford. After his PhD from University College London, he held several prestigious research fellowships and taught ancient history at UCL, Birkbeck, Warwick, Oxford, and Edinburgh. He is the author of Classical Greek Tactics: A Cultural History (2018) and Between Miltiades and Moltke: Early German Studies in Greek Military History (2022) as well as co-editor of Brill's Companion to Greek Land Warfare Beyond the Phalanx (2021).

Send us a textIn this episode, I explore whether the famed Blue Zones offer genuine insights for longevity or if they're more marketing myth than science, while highlighting what the evidence truly shows about living to 100.We begin by considering how many people actually reach 100. Currently, just 0.03% of Americans are centenarians, though this is expected to quadruple by 2054, with women comprising about 78% of that group (Pew Research). Globally, regions like Hong Kong show higher longevity, where 12.8% of females and 4.4% of males are projected to reach 100 (Nature). This brings us to the question: what might we learn from regions like the Blue Zones?I break down how the Blue Zones concept originated, starting with Sardinia where researchers Pes and Poulain mapped centenarians with blue dots, hence the term Blue Zones. Their 2004 study highlighted clusters of longevity (ScienceDirect). Dan Buettner later popularized these findings through his National Geographic article (Blue Zones PDF) and subsequent books, documentaries, and programs. The Blue Zones promote nine lifestyle habits: daily activity, minimal meat and processed foods, moderate red wine intake, calorie reduction, life purpose, stress reduction, spiritual community involvement, prioritizing friendships, and surrounding oneself with like-minded people.While these recommendations align in part with my six pillars of health—exercise, nutrition, mind-body harmony, sleep, exposure to heat/cold, and social relationships—the Blue Zones overlook critical factors like sleep and heat/cold exposure. Their encouragement of moderate alcohol use also contrasts with emerging evidence on alcohol's risks.I examine critiques of Blue Zone science, including flawed birth records that may inflate longevity claims, as seen historically in the U.S. and Greece  (bioRxiv, UCL). Some regions, like Okinawa and Sardinia, no longer display exceptional longevity, possibly due to regression to the mean or changes in lifestyle (PubMed).I also share a rigorous epidemiologic study tracking 80-year-olds to 100, identifying key predictors like non-smoking, low alcohol use, regular exercise, healthy BMI, and dietary diversity (fruits, vegetables, fish, beans, tea). Those with high lifestyle scores had a 60% greater chance of reaching 100 (JAMA).Ultimately, while Blue Zones have helped popularize valuable lifestyle habits, the science behind their claims is mixed. My six pillars remain grounded in evidence that applies to real-world aging.Takeaways: Focus on proven factors—exercise, balanced nutrition, sleep, mind-body practices, social connections, and thoughtful heat/cold exposure—to enhance both lifespan and healthspan. Be cautious about adopting longevity claims without strong evidence. Remember, while genetics play a larger role at extreme ages, your daily choices still profoundly influence your journey toward living long and well.
