Podcasts about while october

We talk with two courageous women Pam Hale Trachta and Dolly Quinn, both of whom have personally experienced and survived breast cancer. And now Pam’s daughter is traveling a similar path. While October is referred to as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the importance of educating ourselves and our loved ones on this topic is timeless.

This week we are joined by sex therapist Dr. Amie Harwick to talk all things spooky just in time for Halloween. While October is not the only time to experiment, why not start now with a conversation about blood play, the fear response, haunted houses,  burying someone alive, and clowns in black lipstick. Also covered: Pineapple Support - the mental health resource for the adult industry.    Amie;  https://instagram.com/dramieharwick?igshid=1olxcwq9d5b70   Pineapple Support:  https://pineapplesupport.org   Sponsor:  https://www.dipseastories.com/sands   FOLLOW US  Twitter Instagram Facebook Send questions, comments, stories, rants to: SlutsAndScholars@gmail.com

Research shows that black women are at greater risk than white women of developing or dying from a handful of cancers, including those of the breast, colon/rectum, lungs, and cervix. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors living in the U.S. in 2014.  From an Ebony Magazine article, according to ACS’s Cancer Facts & Figures for African American’s 2013-2014, approximately 27,060 new breast cancer cases were expected to occur among African American women.  Breast cancer incidence rates are higher among white women for most age groups. However, among younger women under age 40, the mortality rate of breast cancer is higher in African Americans than in whites. While October is the month of Breast Cancer Awareness, we will chat with one mom is not only surviving cancer herself but so is her son.   Guest Momologist:  Stephanie Cooksey Stephanie Cooksey is a native of North Texas and currently lives in Allen, TX.  She has been married to Marcus Cooksey for over 17 years and is the mother of two boys, Cameron (15yrs old) and Evan (12yrs old).  She began college at the University of Houston and graduated from the University of North Texas.

While October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month around the world, education and action should continue all year long. Michael Kaiser, Executive Director of the National Cyber Security Alliance joins Cisco SVP and Chief Security and Trust Officer, John N. Stewart to discuss today’s threats and how to prepare for our digital future. They discuss how governments, businesses of all sizes, education institutions, and individuals can protect themselves today, and what to anticipate and how to plan for a more safe and secure tomorrow.

By now, we are all aware that at its December 14th meeting, the Federal Reserve increased its key interest rate by 0.25%. This was the first interest rate hike all year, and only the second interest rate hike in a decade, with the last one being in December 2015. Three more interest rate hikes are forecasted for 2017. Buyers are now feeling the urgency to purchase and take advantage of low rates. If you have been waiting to refinance, now is also the time to do so if you still have a higher rate, or an adjustable rate. While no one has a crystal ball, the historically low interest rates we have been enjoying might become a thing of the past.  If you have been thinking of selling your current home and buying another, or buying a home for the first time instead of renting, this is the time to put those plans on the front burner rather than putting it off until the spring or summer. “Now is the time to buy a home or refinance to lock in a low rate.” On a positive note, November 2016 home sales were up over October 2016 home sales. Typically, November home sales in the Tampa Bay area trail just a little bit behind October home sales. While October 2016 trailed behind October 2015 sales, November 2016 sales rebounded, and were up 20% over November 2015 sales. We might chalk this phenomenon up to the uncertainty preceding the election, and the increase in sales in November reflected buyers finally feeling confident to move forward. We want to wish you a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and a blessed and prosperous New Year.  If you have any real estate questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are happy to help.
