Podcast Description:In this episode, the conversation unfolds as a deep dive into the challenges of modern adulthood, exploring personal growth, societal expectations, and the evolving landscape of energy and technology. The discussion begins with reflections on gratitude and the complexities of "adulting," shedding light on the responsibilities and decisions that shape our lives.The conversation then shifts to the joys and challenges of traveling, highlighting how exploration can influence our perspectives and personal development. The hosts explore the future of energy, discussing sustainability, innovation, and the impact of these changes on daily life. They also touch on the feeling of having "no choice" in certain situations and how mindset plays a crucial role in navigating limitations.As the discussion continues, they examine the emotional toll of modern life, including the concept of "personate" and the mental energy required for decision-making. The risks of letting go, career uncertainties, and the intersection of social media with the education system further add to the thought-provoking dialogue.Finally, the conversation turns toward the rise of AI, the responsibility of making decisions for future generations, and the contrast between childhood and adulthood. The episode wraps up with an exploration of children's energy—how it differs from adults' and what lessons can be learned from their unfiltered enthusiasm for life.Through it all, the hosts offer insights into navigating an ever-changing world, embracing uncertainty, and finding balance in the journey of life.00:00 Intro02:58 Thank you03:37 Adulting05:06 Traveling10:47 Energy for the future12:45 No choice13:39 Personate23:50 Mental energy25:17 Risk of letting go27:52 No job31:20 Social media and the school system33:56 AI movement39:34 Decisions for your kids42:30 Childhood vs. adulthood47:45 Energy of childrenGuest Bio:Although perhaps best known for her work as a sports tv presenter, Alexandra has over 15 years of experience as a yoga, meditation and mindset teacher. After a rather innocuous fall, resulting in a broken spine, 3 prolapsed discs and a dislocated pelvis, doctors discovered she had a severe degenerative disc disease and was told she would never be able to do any form of high impact or heavy load exercise again. So she focussed instead on yoga, meditation and her mindset. Within a few months it became apparent that the benefits she gained from practising yoga would not just be physical, but mental. Within 6 months, Alex was stronger physically and mentally than ever before.  While she now still endures pain, it is manageable, predominantly, she feels, as a result of having a new positive relationship with her body. She went on to train as a teacher in India and has since travelled the world teaching yoga in some wonderful places. She has also written and created 6 top selling beginners yoga dvds, and reached #1 on the Amazon UK fitness charts.Alex is also a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and combines her love and knowledge of the holistic world with psychotherapy. She created the Mindset Group Ltd and runs a yearly, very popular wellbeing festival in Wokingham as well as many other wellbeing events -  Upcoming events: 1st Feb - Unfiltered Sessions: Winter Reset at South Hill Park, Bracknell, Berkshire For more info www.mindsetunlimited.co.uk www.alexandralegouix.comStay Connected:Follow Oliver on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yeskingoliverWant to regain control of your life from modern-day stress, anxiety, and influence?Check out my FREE course - take control!     http://www.talkwitholiver.com#Tagsself improvement, Time Management, Motivation, mental health, Financial Literacy, Growth Mindset, Personal Development, philosop

The Kp index rose to a high of five with visible aurora over the UK at times. Two large coronal holes are now both facing Earth. A solar wind stream flowing from these zones is expected to flow past Earth, possibly on Friday the 28th of February or Saturday the 1st of March. Active geomagnetic conditions with a Kp index of four are currently forecast for this weekend. There has also been more solar flare activity over the past seven days with an X2-class flare on the 23rd and ten M-class flares. The X-class flare occurred at 19:27UTC so had little effect in Europe as the Sun had set. Luckily, an associated coronal mass ejection was not Earth-directed. Another fast-moving CME on the 24th was also not Earth-directed. As we enter March it looks as though the Sun is still very active. The solar flux index stood at 180 on Thursday the 27th, after hitting 210 on the 23rd. Maximum usable frequencies over 3,000km are still reaching 34-35MHz around midday, while night-time MUFs are generally around 10-11MHz, with occasional openings on 20 metres. This week Bob, VP8LP on the Falkland Islands has been active on 10 metres SSB and has been worked from the UK. As we enter March this is a good time for North-South paths on HF, such as UK to South Africa and UK to South America. The spring equinox is also a good time for auroral conditions. NOAA predicts the Sun will start next week with an SFI of 190, perhaps falling to 170-180 as the week progresses. We hesitate to say this, but geomagnetic conditions are predicted to be good once we get past the disturbances on the 28th and the 1st, but only time will tell! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO There is likely to be a welcome return of high pressure for much of the period from this weekend until the middle of the coming week on the 5th of March. Models show a return of unsettled Atlantic weather, meaning lows, fronts, showers and rain scatter for the GHz bands. Until then, it will be typical high-pressure Tropo conditions with an extensive temperature inversion aloft caused by the descending warming air in the high-pressure region. This should provide ducting conditions over a large part of the country. As often, the far north of the UK will probably just miss out and retain too much breeze for the inversion to be effective. The lull in meteor shower activity continues, so once again your best chances will be in the morning hours around, or just before, dawn. The Sun has kept aurora seekers busy and shows how frequently it can just tip into the right disturbed conditions at this stage of the solar cycle. As we said earlier, there have been reports of visible aurora in the past week. The signs for this are the Kp index rising to five or greater and flutter on LF band signals or trans-polar paths on the HF bands. The new Sporadic-E season is almost upon us, but we are not there yet. Check the graphs on Propquest for signs of enhanced foEs values and check the HF bands first; 10m is particularly good for strong European Es signals. EME conditions will be predictable as usual, with Moon declination rising all week and path losses at their minimum at perigee late on Saturday the 1st of March. 144MHz sky noise is low from this coming weekend, rising to moderate by Friday the 7th. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Alexandra's 3 mindset messages: Contentment is your baseline... it's clutter that's blocking it Your past is a teacher, not a master Self awareness and knowledge is power. Food "Maybe something I wouldn't often have... Flavours... Colours... Maybe Thai or Asian?" Alexandra responded. I absolutely love cooking Asian food, so after a little research to get inspiration, I decided to cook Thai green coconut curry with salmon. The fish delivery arrived on the morning of filming, so it was beautiful and fresh. I used as many greens as I could to make this curry vibrant with colours and flavours. I was pleased to hear that Alexandra would attempt to cook this dish when she is visiting her relative in Asia a few weeks later. It turned out delicious! Sometimes, simplicity is the key to a beautiful dish.  Please visit www.mindsetkitchen.co.uk for full guest and recipe details. 

GB2RS News Sunday the 24th of November   The news headlines: The past and the future – the RSGB releases more Convention presentations RSGB Tonight@8 on HF antennas – join the last live event of 2024 Encourage youngsters on the air during YOTA Month   The RSGB continues to share some great presentations from its recent annual Convention. The two this week look back to the important history of amateur radio and contrast that with how amateur radio might be influenced by modern technology. Don Beattie, G3BJ discussed the very different amateur radio environment of 1924, and the history and events of October that year when the first two-way trans-global radio communication between the UK and New Zealand took place. This centenary celebration is just one of a range of activities that have included RadCom articles and a re-enactment of the contact at Mill Hill School. In his presentation on using AI to write simple amateur radio applications, RSGB Board Chair Dr Stewart Bryant, G3YSX considers how using AI software can improve productivity and bring the ability to write effective software within the reach of more people. This presentation is being released separately as part of the RSGB's focus on encouraging coding and programming activities amongst the amateur radio community. You can find a range of coding resources on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/coding  To watch both presentations, go to the RSGB YouTube channel and choose the ‘RSGB 2024 Convention' playlist. The final RSGB Tonight@8 webinar of 2024 is on Monday the 2nd of December. The presentation by Tim Hier, G5TM will focus on the various HF antennas available for portable operating. He will also look at how to use very basic modelling software to ascertain the choices you have at your disposal. Tim's ethos when working portable is simple, “Five minutes from arrival to operating and no more”. Tim is also the editor of RadCom Basics and will refer to content in that RSGB publication that will help radio amateurs who want to try portable operating. Watch the webinar live on the RSGB YouTube channel or special BATC channel and ask questions via the live chat. To find out more go to the RSGB website at rsgb.org/webinars Youngsters on the Air Month begins one week today.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 21st of November. We've had yet another week of relatively calm geomagnetic conditions. The solar flux index has been in the 160s and despite having 14 M-class solar flares over seven days, we haven't had any coronal mass ejections to contend with. As a result, the daytime maximum usable frequency, or MUF, over a 3,000km path has been high, reaching more than 35MHz at times. The MUF declines after sunset, as expected, settling at about 12-13MHz, meaning the only HF band open to DX has been the 10MHz or 30-metre band. DX this week has included 3D2Y in Rotuma. This Pacific DXpedition has been spotted in Europe, on 20m, 15m and 17m CW, so plenty of choice as to which band you try. E51SGC in Rarotonga on the Cook Islands has also been spotted across many of the HF bands, but they will be leaving on the 24th of November. The good news is that the team of Stan LZ1GC and Ted LZ5QZ are moving on to Tonga as A35GC from the 25th of November until the 7th of December 2024. Gerben (PG5M) is active on the Falkland Islands as VP8G and has been spotted on 20m, 15m and 10m CW. He is there until the 25th of November so get in quickly! Next week, NOAA predicts that the SFI may rise to the mid-250s again. Geomagnetic conditions are largely predicted to be good, although do keep an eye on solarham.com for updates. And don't forget the CQ Worldwide CW contest this weekend which should bring a lot of DX to the HF bands. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO. The weather is now in an unsettled phase with areas of low pressure bringing alternating spells of mild wet and windy weather interspersed with colder brighter and breezy showery weather.  This raises a couple of radio-related points; one is that we will see some very strong and potentially damaging winds in some areas, so check daily forecasts and make sure your mast guys are secure; and secondly an absence of any marked high-pressure Tropo weather.  Rain and snow scatter may be worth checking on the GHz bands in such unsettled weather. Meanwhile, meteor scatter is worthy of greater attention as next week's list of showers includes the small Alpha Monocerotids shower and the tail end of the big Leonids shower.   This introduces another potential nugget of interest in that it is widely accepted that meteors form the source material for Sporadic-E. Despite being out of season in the traditional sense, the prevalence of stronger jet streams in unsettled weather makes the next week a possible ‘watch period' for Es. If you are curious about what these might look like, check out the propquest.co.uk  website and look for the near vertical incidence skywave or NVIS tab for Wednesday the 20th of November 2024. During the two events in the middle of the day and evening, the critical frequency of the Es layer reached values of nearly 10MHz, which could equate to four-metre propagation on a good day. You will see the Es blog tab upper air charts also show a jet stream of greater than 100 knots.  For EME operators, the Moon has passed peak declination so Moon availability and peak elevation will be falling. Path losses are high and rising towards apogee on Tuesday the 26th. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host is Andy Davies and this is Episode Seven of Season 13.And today we're delving into the world of franchises. They've been around a long time in this sector, of course, but the accelerated growth of Kutchenhaus in particular has refocused attention on the business model that combines lots of the pros of being an independent retailer with the power of a national brand.So names such as Kutchenhaus, as well as Schmidt, Kesseler, Ripples, Raison Home, The Kitchen Depot and many others are forging a whole new approach to kitchen and bathroom retail.We interviewed Paul Lee from Kutchenhuas a few episodes ago - so go back and listen to that for more specifics on their head office strategy - but today you'll hear kbbreview editor-at-large Rebecca Nottingham talking to franchisees from three different companies and looking at why they chose this route, what the pros and cons are, and how far they think franchising can go in the KBB market. So we have friend of the show Trevor Scott - who runs a Kutchenhaus franchise alongside his long-standing business RFK. We have James Casey from Kesseler in Sudbury, and we have Imran Azam who runs Ripples showrooms in Wokingham and Beaconsfield.Now, heads up, Imran's sound isn't great but bear with it as his story and perspective is really interesting AND he was literally talking to us on his holiday from the balcony of his hotel in Monaco. Rather brilliantly, you can hear the birds singing in the background.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How did a 22-year-old woman from Wokingham who had previously only climbed trees become the youngest British woman to climb Everest at 29,000 feet?   Bonita Norris attended University where the speaker talked about climbing Everest 11 times and mentioned they reached the summit and saw the curvature of the Earth. Bonita knew she had to see that with her own eyes.   During the six months leading up to her Everest expedition, she faced the daunting task of securing £50,000 for the climb. Cold calling for sponsorships proved challenging.   Bonita describes the struggles, rejections, and the toll it took on her. She faced scepticism from friends and family, who deemed her goal unrealistic.   Visualisation became a powerful tool for Bonita during this challenging period. Each night before sleep, she visualised reaching the summit of Everest with her team, seeing the curvature of the Earth.   This mental image served as a source of motivation, preventing her from giving up on her dream. Her determination, resilience, and creativity that she applied to overcome financial hurdles and secure the sponsorship required her Everest expedition.

Hayley Pearce is a brewer at Siren Craft Brew. Originally from the north of England, Hayley headed south in 2008 to study Biochemistry at Imperial College London.  In 2012 she joined the Fuller's Graduate Programme and it soon became clear that her future lay in the brewhouse. Progressing from junior brewer to shift brewer and now with an IBD Diploma in her pocket Hayley was ready for a new challenge.   At Fuller's she helped commission and run the Pilot Brewery until 2021, when she was drawn by the song of the Siren where she continues to spread her infectious enthusiasm. In this episode, recorded at our Brewers Congress in London, Hayley recounts her career so far, the lessons she has learned along the way and her hope that her journey in beer can inspire others, too.

Two Storm Wood by Philip Gray is the choice for this month's Church Times Book Club. On the podcast this week, Richard Lamey, who has written this month's essay about the book, is in conversation with Sarah Meyrick. Two Storm Wood is set immediately after the First World War, when special battalions were given the grim task of retrieving the dead from the battlefields of northern France. A bold young woman, Amy Vanneck, sets out across the Channel to find out what became of her fiancé, who was listed as “missing, presumed dead”. Her search uncovers some unsettling truths, not only about her fiancé, a former teacher and choirmaster, but the other young soldiers traumatised by the hell of trench warfare. The novel picks up pace and tension as a gruesome discovery is made by Captain Mackenzie, and, together with Amy, a hunt begins to track down the psychopath responsible for this atrocious war crime. Canon Richard Lamey is the Rector of St Paul's, Wokingham, and Area Dean of Sonning, in the diocese of Oxford.

This week I am chatting to Claire from Wokingham. Claire is 46 years old and has been sober for several months. She explored sobriety originally because a best friend decided to stop drinking and she found she was envious of her choice. Since then, her husband has also stopped drinking and they are enjoying a new lease of life without alcohol. Claire has recently qualified as a sobriety coach and is loving helping others to change their relationship with drinking. I hope you enjoy it!

Following the Bank of England increasing interest rates, a mortgage crisis is looming. A week on, at Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Keir Starmer is appealing to the traditional "red wall" seats, saying Labour is now the party of homeownership.Liam quickly points out that while inflation is a global phenomenon, the political costs for the Conservatives could be 'catastrophic'. Allison agrees, reckoning Labour will lose the red wall seats won by Boris Johnson in 2019. With Labour calling the rise in interest rates a 'Tory Mortgage Bombshell', how is the Bank of England going to slow inflation by the end of the year?Also boarding the rocket of right thinking this week is Conservative MP for Wokingham, John Redwood, to discuss where he thinks the Bank of England has made tough decisions in difficult circumstances and what can be done to steady the economy.Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/allison-pearson/ |Listen to The Lockdown Files: https://podfollow.com/the-lockdown-files Need help subscribing or reviewing?

My Father's House by Joseph O'Connor is the choice for this month's Church Times Book Club. On the podcast this week, Canon Richard Lamey, who has written this month's essay about the book, is in conversation with Sarah Meyrick. Read the essay here: https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2023/2-june/books-arts/book-club/book-club-my-father-s-house-by-joseph-o-connor My Father's House is a historical thriller set in Rome in 1943, when the city was under Nazi occupation. The story follows the journey of a group of Jews, diplomats, and escaped Allied prisoners who try to flee Italy. They take refuge in the Vatican City, and their escape is facilitated under the guise of a choir, by a courageous Irish priest. Tension builds as the Gestapo begin to suspect the priest's secret operation. The novel is based on a true story, and is a retelling of the workings of the Rome Escape Line, covering the heroic work of Mgr Hugh O'Flaherty. My Father's House is published by Harvill Secker at £20 (Church Times Bookshop £18); 978-1-78730-082-8.

On the November 16, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film Editorial Director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and Star Wars expert Bryan Young for a spoiler-filled conversation about Andor episode 11 “Daughter of Ferrix" In The Spoiler Room: Andor episode 11 “Daughter of Ferrix" Feedback Rene in Houston TX writes in “We see Cassian in prison 5 years before Rogue One, but in Rogue One Cassian tells Chirrut that this is the first time he's been in prison (while in Saw's cage when they take Jyn to see Saw).  Surely this was intentional…but I can't figure out the story here, appreciate your thoughts.” Mike in Wokingham, UK: “We all agree that ANDOR has been incredible - but what could they do that would ruin it all in the last episode? Maybe Cassian is about to die and is rescued by Baby Yoda.  Or it turns out that B2EMO was an Imperial spy all along.  Or (of course) Dedra is Cassian's long lost sister and they run off together. What do you think? What would be the worst way to wrap up the season?” Brief reactions Breakdown   Speculation   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today's show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  And please subscribe to our newsletter!

George Elek is joined by Andy Holding to preview Champions Day from Ascot.With four Group 1s on the card it looks set to be a great afternoon's racing, headlined by Baaeed's final run in the Champions Stakes.The card kicks off with the Long Distance Cup. Trueshan is currently a best price of 15/8 to win the Group 2 race, but St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov is sure to provide a stern challenge and isn't far behind in the betting at 5/2. The first Group 1 of the day is the Sprint Stakes. Creative Force is the market leader in an open looking contest at 7/2, Andy is keen on Rohaan, the 4 year old disappointed in this race last year but won the Wokingham at Royal Ascot back in June.The Fillies & Mares Stakes follows with Emily Upjohn favourite in another open race. She's currently a best price of 4/1. She disappointed at Ascot in the King George following her Oaks second place but will be looking to end the season on a high.Inspiral will prove tough to beat in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and is a best price of 11/10 compared to worst odds of 10/11. Modern Games could provide the toughest challenge and is the 4/1 second favourite with William Buick in the saddle.The penultimate race of the day is the Champion Stakes, the final time we'll get to watch Baaeed. He looks to make it 11/11 and the betting suggests he'll do it, he's a best price of 1/4 but as short as 1/5 in places. Andy is keen to get Adayar onside with 9 going to post. At 5/1 he could provide to the toughest challenge to Baaeed with stakes being returned should he finish no worse than third. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Liam talks to Former Conservative Cabinet Minister Sir John Redwood MP. After an early career in academia and finance, John Redwood was chosen as the Head of Margaret Thatcher's Policy Unit in 1983 – becoming an architect of the Tories' privatisation programme. After entering the Commons as MP for Wokingham in Berkshire in 1987, John Redwood challenged Prime Minister John Major for the Tory leadership in 1995 – and has since remained a leading voice on free market economics, Brexit, business regulation and taxation in Parliament and beyond.

How will the green revolution unfold? Will it be through a series of state directives, or will innovators and entrepreneurs have the freedom to develop products that respond to consumer choices?

Heather Wright is based in Wokingham about 40 miles west of London and helps leaders to get unstuck and find fulfilment in their career and wider life.She's a qualified coach and predominantly works with mid-career women who are feeling increasingly unmotivated, overwhelmed or simply stuck. She helps people to re-connect to what's truly important to them and tackle the things that might be holding them back from living the life they want. After mainly working over Zoom during the last year, she is now keen to build the outdoors into her client experiences as much as possible.Prior to becoming a coach she had a successful career in the IT industry and understands well the pressures of the working world. It was in that career, that she discovered her passion for helping people achieve their potential.Managing multi-national teams, with a focus on each individual's personal development, was hugely rewarding and ignited her passion for coaching. Experiencing coaching herself helped her to make some big decisions about her career and ultimately led her to step into her own self-leadership and start a coaching practice!In her free time, my guest loves to be outdoors and getting close to nature, especially walking or riding her bike.

Sir John Redwood, Conservative MP for Wokingham, starts this week off chatting to Mike today about easing lockdown rules delayed by four weeks.
