The human brain has various states which alter our mood, cognitive function, and even physical health. Being in the right state at the right time may dramatically bolster our bodies against diseases such as Alzheimer's and neurodegeneration or optimise our brain functioning. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a field of study dealing with light and its physical effects or interactions with the body. Vielight's products, which utilise PBM technology, may help address neurodegeneration and a variety of other health concerns. In this episode, Peter Adams, Vice President of Business Development at Vielight, talks about the science and mechanisms of action behind photobiomodulation's health benefits. He also discusses Vielight's products and their therapeutic effects in fighting off neurodegeneration. If you want to learn about photobiomodulation's positive health effects, this episode is for you! Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode: Understand the benefits of photobiomodulation on brain injuries and other health concerns.

Episode Highlights [03:08] What Is Photobiomodulation? Photobiomodulation or PBM utilises the way light physically affects the human body instead of light's effects on our cognitive and mental faculties. Light wavelengths of 600 to 1100 nanometers (nm) have therapeutic purposes. Blue or ultraviolet light is an excellent disinfectant but can't penetrate deeply due to its shorter wavelength.  At the red end of the colour spectrum, infrared light may overheat heat or burn cells. There's a sweet spot near the red end that has a nice combination of penetration but without the negative cellular effect.   [05:21] How Light Gets into the Body One way to get light into the body is intranasally. There's a profusion of blood cells very close to the surface in the sinuses, so it's a good place to penetrate the blood. Dr Lew Lim, founder and CEO of Vielight, discovered the non-invasive intranasal method.  Another path is transcranial using diodes. Vielight's goal has always been to develop and design low-power rechargeable devices that are easy and safe to use at home. Vielight did a study with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), proving that the whole brain is affected by light diodes.   [10:21] Neuro Alpha and Neuro Gamma Vielight's product, Neuro Alpha, pulses at 10 Hz, helping the brain resonate in the alpha wave band. Neuro Gamma, pulsing at 40 Hz, was designed mainly to address the reduction in beta-amyloid plaques, which may be associated with Alzheimer's disease.  The effect of the two products has yet to be rigorously scientifically quantified, but users have reported significant benefits. Many sports professionals and psychological trainers use Vielight's products to prepare for a match or game. After Peter was in an accident, Neuro Alpha calmed him down while he had a concussion. He used the Neuro Gamma to help alleviate brain fog while at work.   [13:32] Healing Mechanisms of PBM There is an increase in glutamate after a traumatic brain injury, which leads to neurons constantly firing and dying, so glutamate level needs to be controlled post-concussion. Vielight recently completed a study on forty retired athletes with repetitive head injuries at the University of Utah. Pre- and post-fMRIs showed increased blood flow in the brain. One of the key mechanisms of PBM delivered intranasally is a change in the viscosity, which increases microcirculation. PBM also increases nitric oxide and leads to a reduced oxygen species effect.  PBM increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels — a good indicator of immune function. The Cytochrome c oxidase leads to increased oxygen at the ATP synthase, which increases ATP production. [35:30] 633 Red, 655 Prime, 810 Infrared and Neuro Pro Vielight's 633 red uses a light-emitting diode (LED), while 655 Prime is a red laser diode with more power and penetration. Both products bioinfuse the blood. 810 Infrared is near the infrared band, and its diode produces a red glow. Near-infrared diodes can go into the deep brain.  Neuro Pro uses six diodes and an intranasal. Users control each diode with an app, where they can change the power, pulse frequency, and phase. The device can go from 0 Hz up to 10 kilohertz.  Vielight's products can help address neurodegeneration, which can come from repeated brain injuries usually experienced by athletes. [35:30] X-Plus and Neuro Vielight's X-plus has an intranasal and applicator. Users can use it with Neuro devices to reach the back of the head or other body parts.  Recently Vielight completed a clinical trial with COVID-positive patients, wherein X-Plus was used to stimulate the immune system of the thymus.  X-Plus can also be used to repair wounds from injuries in the bones and muscles. Vielight's Neuro uses four diodes, covering the default mode network of the brain.  7 Powerful Quotes “One of the key mechanisms of photobiomodulation, especially directly into the blood through the nose, is a change in the viscosity, increasing the microcirculation, and also an increase in nitric oxide, which is another great healer as well. And, of course, then there's the reduced oxygen species effect, so inflammation gets affected too. So there's a whole bunch of effects that seem to be happening in parallel.” “I think there's hope for Alzheimer's. I just saw another study with autism come out of Italy using neuro as well, which looks really promising.” “I always caution people to think that photobiomodulation is the answer to Alzheimer's. I think even if you look at, for example, antipsychotic drugs, anticonvulsant drugs, all of them, you're not gonna say that one is going to fix everything, and the chances of one fixing anything is less than 30%. [It's] the hit rate.” “It's my belief that underlying conditions that cause plaque in the brain could come from a myriad of sources, and I think it depends on your own individual profile, or physiological profile and chemical pathogenic profile.” “I think a lot of us have now over-excited brains from brain injuries, from toxins in the environment, from the wrong foods and inflammation, and all of the things that sort of happen. Trying to come down and get it in the right zone at the right time is definitely very, very important.” “...The gamma brainwave state of sleep, when you enter that state, that's the key detox part of the brain at night. And so, there is definitely something there to be sought, I think. If you can do it in meditation during the daytime, I think that's even better.” “There's always another quest to research, and it's really patient-reported outcomes that give us great spirit.” Resources Listen to the podcast episode: Photobiomodulation - What it is and how it helps.

NordVPN has announced a brand new feature called Meshnet, which will allow users to connect directly to other devices instead of routing their traffic through a VPN server, solidifying the company's stance as an industry leader. “Whereas a traditional NordVPN connection redirects your internet traffic through servers, Meshnet lets you create your own NordVPN server, made up of only your own or your friends' devices, regardless of their location. All that's needed is a NordVPN subscription,” says Vykintas Maknickas, product strategist at NordVPN. Meshnet opens up endless new possibilities for how you can utilize NordVPN, but main use cases can be divided into three categories: File sharing Meshnet overcomes location limitations and allows users to send or receive files from their family members, friends, or colleagues with ease. Users no longer need to host their work projects on a server in order to make it accessible to other team members or clients – just give them access through NordVPN. The new feature requires two-way consent, so users never have to put their privacy at risk. Gaming Meshnet works as a virtual Local Area Network (LAN), so users can play multiplayer games with their friends without needing any LAN cables. Regardless if they live in a different neighbourhood or a different country, with Meshnet, users can all connect to the same server from various locations and enjoy their time together. Internet traffic routing With Meshnet enabled, users on holiday can route their traffic through a laptop left at home, allowing them to browse the internet with their own IP address. Whereas a regular NordVPN service routes your internet traffic through VPN servers, in the meantime changing your IP address to that of the server, Meshnet lets you create your own NordVPN server through your own or your friends' devices, no matter where they are in the world. “This feature release is a gamechanger and will truly transform how our users utilize NordVPN. Our product team has been working relentlessly for the past few years, which really began with the development of our flagship technology — NordLynx — the bedrock behind Meshnet that allows us to provide amplified privacy solutions without sacrificing industry-leading speed,” says Vykintas Maknickas, product strategist at NordVPN. To utilize Meshnet, users need to update their NordVPN app and make sure they are connected via the NordLynx protocol, then just turn it on in the NordVPN app and link up to 10 personal or and 50 external devices. More detailed instructions can be found here. NordVPN is part of Nord Security. Nord Security is moving with confidence towards becoming an all-around cybersecurity solution. Apart from NordVPN, the cybersecurity company is home to three other market-leading products: NordPass, a next-generation password manager; NordLocker, an encrypted cloud storage solution; and NordLayer, an advanced network access security solution for businesses. More about Meshnet:/ Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS devices can route internet traffic through other devices, but only Windows and Linux devices permit traffic routing through them.

Guest post by Samson Williams For a moment let's imagine “Web3”, whatever you think it is, actually exists. I don't think it exists. Web3 is analogous to a “smart contract”. It is a really cute marketing term most often employed to confuse people and decentralise them from their hard-earned money. But for the purpose of this article, we'll pretend that Web3 (or 5 depending on who is counting) even exists. Now that that is out of the way, here's the real shocker for you. “When you integrate Web3 into Web2, you get Web1” What that means is that users of Web3 still don't own anything. Users of Web3 don't own anything for the same reason that users of Web2 and Web1 don't own anything. In both, users don't own the infrastructure. The internet is actually a vast collection of millions of miles of fibre optic cables that were built, connected and have been maintained by various companies for the last three decades. Roughly 94% of all internet traffic goes through land-based lines, the rest goes through satellites as part of The Space Economy. Meanwhile, the companies that own the plumbing of the internet, guess how they make money? These companies make money very similar to how Simon Property Group makes money. For those of you who don't know, Simon Property Group is the largest owner of Malls in America. Simon makes money by charging stores rent to be in their Malls. So too with Web1. The companies who own the physical infrastructure of the internet (routers, cables, data centres, satellites, etc.) charge businesses to access and use the internet. Turns out that even in cyberspace there are landlords (Google, Amazon, Comcast, etc.) and tenants. What does this mean for users of the “Web3”? It means that users pay to access the Metaverse and Web3 through Web5+ with their data. Data after all is the native currency of the world wide web. Much like going to the Mall is free (minus the gas), so too is going to the Metaverse or Web3. The trick is, to convince users that things are “free” because users have never been entitled to owning their data. Web3 and the “Metaverse” are free because you are the product. But you already knew that. Taxation with Representation Samson Williams said: When you integrate Web3 into Web2, you get the same cables that run Web1. Which means you all pay rent to the cable and satellite owners, who own the infrastructure of the web. Hence why you cannot have a “decentralised” web because someone has to pay for the infrastructure. And to maintain it. Dan Jones replied: Very insightful comment Samson, and had me thinking. I suppose the definition of web3 is more about the decentralisation of where and how data is stored than the physical infrastructure that connects it together. But as a concept, it's seemingly just as pertinent! Samson Williams replied: Dan Jones in Web3 you still don't own your data. Because the folks who own the infrastructure make it “free” by charging you for “your” data. So.yeah. Web3! It's Upton Sinclaire's The Jungle, just in a digital setting. Dan Jones replied: Samson Williams to a certain extent, but the question around ownership is different to infrastructure. You can still have ownership of something but it runs on some kind of infrastructure? I own a car but that doesn't mean I own the road, or that I am even at the mercy of the government.depends on how neo-liberal you'd want to go Samson Williams replied: Dan Jones, it does though mean you're taxed for the road. See, whoever owns the infrastructure collects the taxes. Hence why all the VCs are in a rush to decentralise you from your cash. Talk about taxation without representation. Conclusion Web3 and the Metaverse are just the latest real estate land grab by VCs aimed to set up the online versions of Malls, where humans go to hang out. While they'll tell you that it is free, it is only free because the landlords of the online Malls fundamentally don't believe you have the right to own the data you generate. Your new digital lor...

1. Shopify Announces Audience During Their Semi-Annual Showcase - Shopify Editions is Shopify's new semi-annual showcase demonstrating the speed and breadth of innovation at Shopify to bring merchants into the future. Per Shopify, they are powering a radically different model of commerce: Connect to Consumer (C2C). To help merchants embrace C2C, they unveiled an entirely new B2B offering, launching Tokengated Commerce, partnered with Google to help consumers shop local, brought commerce to Twitter,  launched Tap to Pay on iPhone—just to name a few.Shopify Audiences, a new marketing tool helps Shopify Plus merchants find new customers. Using Shopify's unique view on purchase intent and their merchant network helps identify buyers who are looking for your products. Then create and export high-interest audiences to ad platforms like Facebook.Other notable things announced at Shopify Editions are:a.) B2B on Shopify makes it seamless for Shopify Plus merchants to sell to other businesses on the same platform that they use for D2C. Say goodbye to spreadsheets, one-off invoices, and manual data entry. Not to mention, they've also partnering with ERP providers such as NetSuite, Brightpearl, and Acumatica to automatically integrate merchants' essential data with their B2B solution.b.) With Shopify's offline GMV growing nearly 80% year over year in Q1 2022, they figured out that in-person shopping is coming back in a big way—and they want a piece of the pie. That's why they're one of the first commerce platforms to launch Tap to Pay on iPhone in the U.S. in partnership with Stripe. Currently in early access with select Shopify point-of-sale merchants, Tap to Pay on iPhone will be fully available in the U.S. in the coming months.With Tap to Pay on iPhone, they're lowering the barrier to entry for Shopify merchants to expand into offline retail for the first time without needing extra hardware or investment. Per Shopify, “Think farmers markets, new pop-up experiences, test shops for established merchants to expand to new physical locations. Enabling Tap to Pay on iPhone will broaden the possibilities in offline commerce, giving merchants who haven't yet tried in-person selling an easy way to connect with customers IRL.”c.) Local Inventory on Google . Turning browsers into local buyers. We know that nearly all U.S. consumers have searched for local businesses online, with more than a third searching multiple times every week. Shopify is about to improve those searches in a big way with local inventory sync on Google, available through Shopify's Google channel. Now, Shopify merchants can automatically let nearby customers know when a product is available in store. Shopping local has never been more convenient. Local inventory sync on Google is globally available via Shopify's Google channel to merchants using Shopify's point-of-sale app.You can find all the details here.2. Twitter Launches New Shopify Integration - Social commerce continues to be a growing opportunity for merchants. Orders placed with Shopify merchants through partner integrations quadrupled YoY in the first quarter of 2022. Sometimes, a brand's biggest audience is the one they haven't tapped. Twitter's hundreds of millions of users represent potential connections for independent merchants, and that's why Shopify is the first commerce platform to partner with Twitter as it continues to scale its Twitter Shopping ecosystem. In fact, shopping-related Tweets saw 40-billion impressions over the last year alone. Using Shopify's new Twitter sales channel, merchants can reach consumers directly from their Twitter profiles, creating a frictionless path to purchase in today's digital townsquare. This will enable Shopify merchants to list their products on their Twitter Professional Profiles, with each item, when tapped, then redirecting users to the Shopify product page to make a purchase.Twitter's shopping features include Twitter Shops and Shop Spotlight, and, starting today, both are available for free to all Shopify U.S. merchants selling to U.S. consumers. “The Twitter sales channel makes it quicker and easier to meet our customers wherever they are,” said Jessica Stevens, Senior Social Media Manager at Trixie Cosmetics. “The automatic syncing is going to help us save so much time, and the sales channel allows me to easily connect the two platforms that we already tap into to sell products and engage with customers.”3. Twitter Releases Twitter Write, Notes Feature - Finally available on some user profiles, Twitter's new "Notes" feature offers a quick, seamless method to include lengthy text pieces in your tweets. The Notes UI is quite simple and has all the standard features of a blog post composer, such as the ability to add header pictures, insert photos and links within the text, and a quick way to add tweets.Once posted, Notes will display as a Twitter card that directs users to the complete article. You have a lot more area for your longer-form content on the app because Note titles are only allowed to be 100 characters long and the body of a Note can be up to 2,500 words.Additionally, unlike tweets, notes can be edited after they are published, and a "Edited" label will be appended at the top of the note.4. LinkedIn Updates Event Engagement Options & Simplifies ‘Repost' Process - In order to promote on-topic conversation and interaction within LinkedIn Events, LinkedIn is now introducing new comment engagement options. You may now interact with participants before, during, and after the session by using the Comments tab of a LinkedIn event. You can also reply to particular comments in-stream. With more than 24,000 events being added to the app each week as of this writing, the option is intended to take advantage of LinkedIn Events engagement. Furthermore, LinkedIn recently added LinkedIn Events to its simplified "Boost" ad option, giving users another method to promote their LinkedIn event listings.p.s. Users are currently starting to see the enhanced Comments choices in-stream as the option is being rolled out.Additionally, LinkedIn is making it simpler to share updates on LinkedIn by adding a new, streamlined "Repost" option to the "Share" menu. When you tap the "Share" prompt, a new "Repost" option will soon be available, allowing you to share without leaving a comment (currently your only option). By removing the requirement for users to contribute their own commentary to every re-share, this will make it simpler to share posts.5. Will Google Crawl URLs In Structured Data? - Does Google crawl alternative kinds of links like those found in structured data? Google's John Mueller answered:“So for the most part, when we look at HTML pages, if we see something that looks like a link, we might go off and kind of like try that URL out as well. That's something where if we find a URL in JavaScript, we can try to pick that up and try to use it. If we find a link in kind of a text file on a site, we can try to crawl that and use it.”Do not blindly assume that just because a link is in structured data means it will or will not be indexed.He recommends that if you want Google to go off and crawl that URL, make sure that there's a natural HTML link to that URL, with a clear anchor text as well, that you give some information about the destination page. If you don't want Google to crawl that specific URL, then maybe block it with robots.txt or on that page use a rel=canonical pointing to your preferred version, anything like that.6. Google Crawls And Indexes The First 15MB - The Googlebot help page has been updated to reflect the fact that Googlebot will only crawl the first 15MB of a page before stopping. Therefore, if you want to make sure that Google ranks your website appropriately, make sure that the first 15MB of the page can be crawled and indexed by Googlebot.Generally speaking, you should aim to keep your pages as lightweight as possible for both users and search engine crawlers. However, Google is being very upfront about how much of your website it will use here.Using the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console to examine what portions of the page Google renders and detects in the debugging tool is an excellent approach to test this.7. Google: Images Can Impact Your Rankings - You might not be aware, but the images on your website might affect how well it ranks in Google Search results.If the image dimensions on a web page are not specified, the page's content may move about while the image loads. This is interpreted by Google Search as a bad signal.The solution is as easy as including the width and height attributes in the image's HTML code.8. Google: Keywords In Domain Names Are Overrated - Keywords in domain names are overstated, according to John Mueller of Google. He repeated what he and other Google employees have said countless times over the years. He advised choosing something for the long term and for your business instead.9. Google: It's OK To Link Your WhatsApp Number - John Mueller from Google stated on Twitter that including a link to your WhatsApp number on your website is not a negative SEO strategy. Contrary to what some SEO toolkits claim, connecting to a WhatsApp, phone, or fax number is acceptable, and Google does not evaluate your site differently dependent on the type of number you link to.10. Google: Do This For Product Variants Pages - When a product is offered in a variety of sizes or colors, ecommerce sites generally take URL structure into consideration. A product variant is any combination of a product's attributes. For product variants, Google supports a broad variety of URL configurations.To help Google understand which variant is best to show in Search, choose one of the product variant URLs as the canonical URL for the product.The following restrictions apply if you decide to display many product variants on a single page (i.e., if the variants all have the same URL). The page may be ineligible for Product rich results in search results because the experience is only supported for pages holding a single product (and product variants may be treated as distinct products by Google Search). Experiences such as Google Shopping cannot take a user to a specific variant of a product on your site, leading to the user needing to select the variant they wish to purchase on your site before checkout. This can lead to a poor user experience if the shopper already selected the variant they wanted in Google Shopping. If you choose to use a distinct URL per variant, Google recommends using either: A path segment, such as /t-shirt/green  A query parameter, such as /t-shirt?color=green 11. Google Changes Requirements For Local Service Ads - Google has increased the requirements for local service ads, mandating five reviews. This is an increase over the prior requirement of simply requiring one review.According to Ginny Marvin of Google's AdsLiaison, "The procedure for placing an ad with Local Services Ads has not changed; rather, the quantity of reviews has increased from 1 to 5. More customer testimonials increase credibility and increase the likelihood of connecting with prospective customers."Industries that now need five reviews are: Real estate agents and brokers Lawyer for personal injuries HVAC Companies Home Cleaning Companies Tree care/services companies Roofing 12. Updates From Google SEODay - John Mueller, a Google Search Advocate, discussed improvements to the search engine's scoring system and the effect of page experience on rankings at an online session at SEODay 2022.Google now bases desktop search results on a site's desktop experience and mobile search results on a site's mobile experience, among other modifications that were made public.The search engine calculates experience scores using three main metrics: largest contentful paint (LCP), first input delay (FID), and cumulative layout shift (CLS)."Interactivity to next page," often known as INP, is a new page experience statistic that Google has added. Other things that came out of SEODay are: Users can create custom reports and obtain a fresh perspective on the data by using analytics and Search Console data.  Videos & Images Take On More Prominent Role In Search - “We see that people love videos and authentic images in search results, so we try to show them more,” Mueller said. Google now offers a WordPress plugin for creating Web stories - A collection of pages that often have videos. Authentic Product Reviews Factored Into Rankings - “People have high expectations of reviews they find online, so we've also worked specifically on updates to algorithms with regards to ranking these product reviews,” he said.

OneRare is more than just a game. It is a true Foodverse where brands & users can share common spaces for interaction and engagement. Brands get a unique opportunity to explore new ways to build a direct, customized, one-to-one connection with a global userbase. Unlike traditional advertising where brands pay per view to build outreach, OneRare allows them to achieve this through novel methods on the blockchain. We are already seeing the first of Food brands come into the NFT space, with Coca Cola and Taco Bell releasing artworks. OneRare allows brands to go one step further with our gameplay. Users can see an actual use-case of their product as Ingredients, discover their actual in-house menu & dishes, and get to truly interact with food. As we grow, users can immerse in interactive brand experiences to discover what their favorite food business stands for. For established food brands, this is an opportunity to re-engerise their users and discover ways of monetization in Web3. Having a Foodverse presence will enable them to reach out to global audiences, new generations that haven't yet tried them. This also makes the brand younger and more appealing, and an obvious next step from social media engagement. For new & upcoming brands, OneRare provides the perfect platform to create their first digital impression at no cost at all. They get a chance to showcase their product and use-cases in Web3 and create recall value for audiences that don't know them yet. For Chefs & Restaurants, we create the perfect window for global recognition. With their culinary skills and fame being limited to their region or social media channels, OneRare allows chefs to go truly global, and create an emphatic entry into Web3. Rather than independent NFT releases, chefs and restaurants get to be part of a Foodverse, where their dish is engaged meaningfully in gameplay. The opportunity for the Food mavens to come into blockchain and monetise global audiences, rather than local, is tremendous. Taking their food to every corner of the world, OneRare aims to be the ultimate foodverse for the entire industry. https://www.linkedin.com/in/supreetraju/

This episode is brought to you by Yotpo.   The Rosy Wellness app is a "safe space" that can create a personalized journey for each woman on her sexual health path, says Dr. Lyndsey Harper, the brand's Founder and CEO.   "We have a library of personalized and curated content waiting for you," Lyndsey says. "If you are suffering from infertility, if you're pregnant, if you're a postpartum menopausal in the middle of life like I am, you're taking care of your kids, your professional life, and your long-term relationships. We create a personalized sexual health journey for each of our users, and sexual health, the way we define it, is not a problem to be solved. We bring all those resources together in one safe space, one convenient platform so that women can access whatever resource they need during their specific life, moment or journey."   The most frequent users of Rosy are women in the late 30s or early 40s when sex has fallen to the wayside, Lyndsey says.   "They might come to their physician describing low sexual desire, which is the No. 1 complaint of women when it comes to sexual health - 38 percent of women say that they have low sexual desire," she says. "We have resources from sex therapists that have created a bunch of resources for us to help women reprioritize sex and desire."   Putting these resources on a smartphone app is a significant component of Rosy's mission - to meet women where they are. The app is free to download. Users are welcomed and then are invited to take a 27-question quiz to help build their journey inside the platform. Access to experts, doctors, and therapists is available, as well as a library of erotica - an evidence-based tool for sexual dysfunction, Lyndsey says. Individual coaching also is available.   Lyndsey offers some words of wisdom to would-be entrepreneurs considering a new venture: Have the big picture in mind. Write it down. Repeat it. Also, don't let the big work ahead intimidate you on a daily basis.   "Just move on past it and keep going," she says.   In Part 2, Lyndsey talks about:   * The ideal consumer for the Rosy app. * The resources available via the app. * The No. 1 issue users say they face. * How the app works. * What the user experience is like. * Advice to fellow entrepreneurs.   Join Ramon Vela and Dr. Lyndsey Harper as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Rosy Wellness, visit: https://meetrosy.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

Image by image and hashtag by hashtag, Instagram has redefined the ways we relate to food. Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish edit contributions that explore the massively popular social media platform as a space for self-identification, influence, transformation, and resistance. Artists and journalists join a wide range of scholars to look at food's connection to Instagram from vantage points as diverse as Hong Kong's camera-centric foodie culture, the platform's long history with feminist eateries, and the photography of Australia's livestock producers. What emerges is a portrait of an arena where people do more than build identities and influence. Users negotiate cultural, social, and economic practices in a place that, for all its democratic potential, reinforces entrenched dynamics of power.  Interdisciplinary in approach and transnational in scope, Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation (U Illinois Press, 2022) offers general readers and experts alike new perspectives on an important social media space and its impact on a fundamental area of our lives. The book has been dubbed by the experts in the field as “a veritable smorgasbord of perspectives on the all-pervasive and all-important nature of food on visual social media” (Tama Leaver, the co-author of Instagram: Visual Social Media Cultures) that “shows how the digital app and the kind of food representations it supports contribute to the building identities and negotiating social and economic relationships” (Fabio Parasecoli, author of Bite Me: Food in Popular Culture). It is a path-blazing, inspirational work offering a vast array of theoretical perspectives, methodological tools, and conceptual innovations. Emily Contois is Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Tulsa. She holds a PhD in American studies from Brown University along with master's degrees in Gastronomy from Boston University and Public Health Nutrition from University of California, Berkeley. In addition to numerous articles, she is the author of Diners, Dudes, and Diets: How Gender and Power Collide in Food Media and Culture (2020). She serves on the board of the Association for the Study of Food and Society, H-Nutrition, and Advertising and Society Quarterly.

Image by image and hashtag by hashtag, Instagram has redefined the ways we relate to food. Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish edit contributions that explore the massively popular social media platform as a space for self-identification, influence, transformation, and resistance. Artists and journalists join a wide range of scholars to look at food's connection to Instagram from vantage points as diverse as Hong Kong's camera-centric foodie culture, the platform's long history with feminist eateries, and the photography of Australia's livestock producers. What emerges is a portrait of an arena where people do more than build identities and influence. Users negotiate cultural, social, and economic practices in a place that, for all its democratic potential, reinforces entrenched dynamics of power.  Interdisciplinary in approach and transnational in scope, Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation (U Illinois Press, 2022) offers general readers and experts alike new perspectives on an important social media space and its impact on a fundamental area of our lives. The book has been dubbed by the experts in the field as “a veritable smorgasbord of perspectives on the all-pervasive and all-important nature of food on visual social media” (Tama Leaver, the co-author of Instagram: Visual Social Media Cultures) that “shows how the digital app and the kind of food representations it supports contribute to the building identities and negotiating social and economic relationships” (Fabio Parasecoli, author of Bite Me: Food in Popular Culture).

Incontinence is a serious matter for those who have to deal with it on a daily basis. Many sufferers seek out absorbent hygiene products to cope with their condition. And for most consumers, how their needs (leak protection, discretion, affordability, etc.) are met can make or break their trust in a brand forever. So how can producers better serve the consumer? One simple approach is to talk to product users. In this episode of ‘Attached to Hygiene', host Jack Hughes and guest moderator Alan Cottenden speak with a user panel from Europe. As Emeritus Professor of Incontinence Technology at University College London, Alan has extensive expertise with Incontinence products and user experience. Panellists Tonneke, Chris, and Rebecca share how current market products meet their needs and what more they wish for from the market as they manage their incontinence.The many challenges of living with incontinenceIncontinence affects an individual's daily life on many levels and to differing degrees. To live as normally as possible, incontinent adults rely on their absorbent product's effectiveness in several categories: absorption, odour control, and more. As we talk to our panel of users in this episode, we get to hear about their candid experiences with how incontinence limits and impacts their lives … altering what activities they do … the clothes they choose to wear … how they plan their day. We also learn what products work—or almost work—for them as they manage their condition. Whilst the panellists recognise the improvements made in the industry over the last several years, each has a wish list that would make living with incontinence just a little bit easier.Outline of the Episode[01:00] Incontinence is a sensitive problem with many aspects[05:54] Understanding user experience helps you address their concerns[13:05] Incontinence of any type can limit options or make living a full life difficult[17:41] Secrecy, discretion, and the reactions of others to incontinence[24:00] The panellists' experiences … Do current products meet their needs?[30:25] Skin health and managing issues caused by incontinence[34:25] Changes that would improve user experience with incontinence products[41:06] Why consumers may mix and match various product types [46:05] Users want more sustainable products, but they can't sacrifice performance or afford expensive solutions[51:02] The impact of a product's appearance on discretion and attitude ResourcesYou can find Alan on LinkedIn.
