Lafitt og Dupont bliver involveret i en farlig sag, da Duponts datter, Zeze, ringer i panik og beder om hjælp, truet med døden, hvis de ikke møder op i en baggyde ved Farverstriben. De skynder sig afsted og ankommer kun for at se en mand blive skudt – Albert Lefevre, dræbt med Duponts pistol. Kort efter arresterer kriminalassistent Anarko dem, da Duponts pistol forbinder dem til mordet. Med personalemangel på stationen bliver de sendt til tugthuset, men under transporten påkøres fangevognen af en lastbil. Lafitt og Dupont undslipper ulykken og søger skjul på det dystre og mystiske Hotel "Den Sorte Kat".Her finder du mere information om LEF: Website: www.lefnet.dk Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/lefrollespil YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCE86Gfh0jeGfWXwPDF-fI7A Patreon: www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=64413595

From the moment we first laid eyes on Kieran's teeth - we knew this was going to be a cracking series…  They chose to stay in the last episode - so this time, we're sticking to our word and making them stay… we have Paul C Brunson and Zeze Mills on the It's Official sofa to take a nostalgic look back at the series as a whole!   And we're joined by the man, the myth, the legend… our brilliant groom Luke! We find out all about his time in the experiment - and we workshop some words that might have worked better than ‘terrorise' in his letter to Amy.  As well as that - it's showbiz's most glamorous and anticipated night of the year… The MAFS Awards 2024! Who are going to be the big winners of the night?! And guess what… we even have a *teeny-tiny* trophy for one lucky person…  Thanks for joining us for this series of MAFS UK: It's Official - actually can someone pass a sick bag? I'm feeling a bit nauseous - probably shouldn't have tried to write this podcast description on a helicopter ride. 

Two vow renewals and a funeral… that's actually such a good idea for a movie. Someone should make that.   The experiment is over! Two of our couples have committed to one another at final vows and brace themselves for the reunion… and we also had a lovely dinner party where we reunited all our brides and grooms and there was absolutely NO drama or stress at all :)   Chloe is joined by the legendary Zeze Mills to debrief our last week in the experiment. Did we expect it to end like this? And how do we think our couples are going to fare outside the experiment?   We've also invited Lacey and Paul C Brunson to the couch - to regroup on everything we've learned from the experiment! Lacey reveals how she and Nathan made yet ANOTHER lifelong commitment to each other and *just* how excited she was for that salsa class…  And we're bringing back fan-favourite game Luke-y Dip - for a second round… this time - with a vow renewals twist…  Btw - we googled the halfway point between Manchester and Walsall. It's Stoke-on-Trent. Just FYI! 

Functional Neurological Disorder, or FND, is the most common disorder you've probably never heard of. Some say it might be as common as MS or Parkinson's and yet it's not well known even by many medical professionals. It can cause seizures, paralysis, convulsions and changes in sensation, as well as pain, fatigue and memory difficulties.It's caused by a problem with the system in the brain that connects us consciously into our bodies, leaving sufferers unable to access their bodies properly. Because it doesn't show up on scans and tests it is often not diagnosed effectively, and patients can face difficulties accessing the help they need or even being believed that their symptoms are real.Claudia Hammond sits in on a consultation at the Maudsley Hospital between Emma, a new patient who is having exactly those problems, and Mark Edwards, Professor of Neurology and Interface Disorders at King's College London. She also meets Callum Alexander, a recovered patient who now volunteers for the charity FND Hope. He was referred by Mark for specialist neurophysiotherapy with Glenn Nielsen at St George's University Hospital, which had immediate results. Glenn tells us that FND can cause the brain to become excessively focused on actions are normally automatic, such as walking, and that redirecting the brain's attention can be one way of alleviating it.Meanwhile, Emma is relieved she finally has a name to put to her condition and Mark is pushing for more positive diagnoses of FND.Back in the studio, Claudia is joined by Kavita Vedhara, Professor of Health Psychology at Cardiff University. With increasing polarisation in the US in the run up to the forthcoming presidential election, she presents a study that sheds light on how we might view people who are more nuanced in their approach to controversial topics.You might expect people who are able to express both sides of an argument to thrive in social situations. However, this new research suggests that people with nuanced views are seen as less likeable than those with polarised views, even by those who agree with that person's ultimate position. How does that impact our chances of being able to have reasoned political debates?The 2025 All in the Mind Awards are now open for nominations. You can nominate individuals, professionals and groups who have helped you in your hardest times.Claudia catches up with ZeZe Sohawon who nominated her psychiatrist Dr Claire Purcell for an award in 2021. Since then ZeZe has set up a youth autism and mental health charity, Emotion Dysregulation and Autism, helping autistic young people who struggle with their emotions leading to mental health problems. The charity is about to start delivering a peer support programme in Birmingham hospitals, and she's done all of this while studying for a Neuroscience degree. This year she's a judge for the All in the Mind Awards and tells Claudia why she thinks people should take part.You can find out more about the awards in the programme or by going to bbc.co.uk/radio4/allinthemind where you'll also find full terms.

It stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—encompassing diverse fields like mathematics, physics, aerospace engineering, and medicine. Now, let's delve into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on STEM careers. AI, a pivotal part of technology, relies on and empowers STEM professionals.

In her current role, Adora plays a pivotal role in NexaScale, a community group dedicated to facilitating valuable work experience for individuals through a range of projects and programs. When it comes to empowering women in tech, support systems are crucial. It is a cause close to her heart, clearly demonstrated by her active participation in NexaScale for women. Here, she conducts sessions on financial literacy and personal branding, with the aim of uplifting and educating aspiring female tech professionals. Regarding the future of the tech industry in Africa, Adora highlights the immense potential of young Africans, particularly millennials and Gen Z, who are making significant contributions to the global tech landscape.

Bu masallar yapay zekaya yazdırılıp seslendirilmiştir. Siz de ücretsiz olarak bir çocuğa özel masal yazdırın: https://s.cagrisarigoz.com/masal Çiftetelli Ormanı’nın Gizemi Bir zamanlar, hüzünlü bir ormanda yaşayan sekiz yaşında bir çocuk vardı. Adı Maya idi. Maya’nın cinsiyeti belli değildi, çünkü önemli olan onun ne kadar iyi bir kalbe ve ne kadar güçlü bir ruha sahip olduğuydu. Maya, Çiftetelli Ormanı’nda yaşıyordu ve ormanın derinliklerinde kendine has bir dünya kurmuştu. En iyi arkadaşları Oreo, Zeze ve Bazil idi. Oreo, hızlı ve zeki bir sincap; Zeze, neşeli ve sadık bir köpek; Bazil ise usta bir yarasaydı. Çiftetelli Ormanı’nın sihirli bir yeri vardı ve oraya ulaşmak isteyen herkesin önce bu ormanda yaşayan ejderhadan geçmesi gerekiyordu. Ejderha, Maya ve arkadaşlarının ormana zarar vermemesine dikkat eden güçlü ve korkulan bir varlıktı. Ama Maya ve arkadaşları, ormana ve tüm canlılara saygı gösterdikleri için ejderhanın dostluğunu kazanmışlardı. Çiftetelli ağacı, ormanın en büyük sırrı ve en değerli hazinesiydi. Bu ağaç, her yıl dünya üzerindeki tüm hüzünleri toplar ve onları güzel, neşeli çiftetelli müziğine dönüştürerek yayardı. Bu yüzden orman, hüzünlü ve mistik bir atmosfere sahipti. Bir gün, ormanın dört bir yanını saran hüzün, doruğa ulaştı ve Maya, arkadaşlarıyla birlikte, çiftetelli ağacını bulup bu hüznün nedenini öğrenmeye karar verdi. Maya, Oreo, Zeze ve Bazil, ormanın derinliklerine doğru yola koyuldular. Yol boyunca ormanda yaşayan diğer canlılarla tanıştılar ve onlardan çiftetelli ağacının yerini öğrenmeye çalıştılar. Kimi zaman hüzünlü, kimi zaman neşeli ama her zaman gizemli bir yolculuk oldu bu. Maya ve arkadaşları, yolculukları sırasında ormanın gizemli sırlarını öğrendiler. Çiftetelli Ormanı, dünyadaki tüm yaşam enerjisini, renkleri ve sesleri içinde barındıran sihirli bir yerdi. Çiftetelli ağacı ise, bu yaşam enerjisini dünyaya yayarak, hüzün ve neşe arasında denge sağlar ve ormanın canlılarının yaşamasını sağlardı. Maya ve arkadaşları sonunda çiftetelli ağacına ulaştılar ve ağacın etrafında dans eden güzel kelebekler ve kuşlar gördüler. Ağacın dallarında, sevimli sincaplar ve tavşanlar oynuyordu. Yere düşen çiftetelli yaprakları ise, hüzünlü bir melodi eşliğinde yerlerini yeni, taze yapraklara bırakıyorlardı. Maya, Oreo, Zeze ve Bazil, ağacın etrafında birleşip ellerini tuttular ve neşeli bir çiftetelli müziği eşliğinde dans etmeye başladılar. Ağacın büyülü enerjisi, onların içindeki hüzün ve kederi alıp, onların yerine neşe ve sevgi ile dolduruyordu. Danslarının sonunda, Maya ve arkadaşları ormanın yaşam enerjisinin nasıl canlandığını ve hüzünlü havanın nasıl dağıldığını gördüler. Ormanın canlıları yeniden neşeyle dolmuş, renkler ve sesler daha canlı hale gelmişti. Çiftetelli Ormanı’nın gizemli sırrını öğrenen Maya ve arkadaşları, ormanın canlılarına yardım etmeye ve onların yaşam enerjilerini korumaya karar verdiler. Maya ve arkadaşları, ormanın koruyucuları olarak görevlerini yerine getirirken, dünyanın dört bir yanından gelen hüzün ve kederi, çiftetelli müziğiyle neşeye dönüştürmeye devam ettiler. Her gün, ormanda yaşayan tüm canlılarla birlikte, sevgi ve mutluluğun gücüyle hüzün ve kederi yenmenin önemini öğreniyor ve diğer çocuklara da bu değerli dersi anlatıyorlardı. Çiftetelli Ormanı’nın gizemi, yıllarca süren bu hikayeyle anlatıldı ve Maya, Oreo, Zeze ve Bazil, oradaki tüm canlılar ve çocuklar için bir örnek ve ilham kaynağı oldu. Çünkü sevgi ve mutluluğun gücü, tüm hüzün ve kederi yenmeye yeterlidir. Ve böylece, Maya ve arkadaşları, Çiftetelli Ormanı’nda hüzün ve neşenin dengesini sağlamayı sürdürdüler. Onların hikayesi, her gün yeni maceralarla ve yeni derslerle dolu bir yaşamı temsil ediyordu. Ve Maya, Oreo, Zeze ve Bazil, ormanın derinliklerinde sonsuza dek yaşadılar, sevgi ve mutluluğun gücünü tüm dünyaya yayarak.

In this week's episode, I discuss the fallout from Zeze Mills latest podcast episode she interviewed Noel Clarke. Clarke has been accused by 20 women of accusations ranging from sexual harassment to bullying. The general theme of the fallout was that it was wrong of Mills to conduct the interview. We are now at the stage in life where it is we have to remind people that the presumption of innocence and the right to put forward your own defence is something worth defending. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prolhistory/message

For the Season Finale, I went around the world and down into my memory to pick the highlights of this season. What I learnt, what I discovered, what I was impressed about. There is no bittersweet taste in getting to the end of a season. In fact, it is exciting to look back and remember all the amazing women that crossed my path. After the hard to forget year of 2020, my goal was to bring to light in 2021, the stories of what are now almost 2 years of this pandemic, but more importantly, how each of us is looking to lift ourselves up, look forward and face life stronger and together. As for me, 2021 was a year of multiple wins and also some bumps on road for women around the world. What have I learnt in this journey? Yael Melamed Yael helped me open up the season by talking to us about the importance of letting go of control. It is hard to envisage life without control. Control of schedules, conversations, moments, words. In fact, Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks argues that all that we fill our lives with is precisely because we fear death. In 2020, in one way or another, we learnt (mostly the hard way) that in fact, we have very little control. And, in 2021, we probably didn't go with Yael's suggestion of letting go (or Frozen's suggestion for that matter). We went with another slogan instead and sought to take back control. How did that work out for you? Francesca Geens I had been following Francesca for a while. In fact, we had been users of her amazing "Happy Self" gratitude journal for kids. Little Girl C has benefited greatly from it and even Baby S has his own. Given my great passion for the practice of gratitude, meeting Francesca for the podcast in early 2021, as I braced myself for what I hoped was the end of the pandemic, was just great. Francesca started studying the science of happiness the more she heard about people, especially children being depressed. And if you are thinking this is just a pandemic fashion, let me stop you there. Francesca launched her business in 2018. Did you know that scientists have actually been able to measure the impact of a gratitude practice in our brain? Amy Williams Amy was a perfect guest to follow my goal of women empowerment, as the platform she has created "Fem Foundry", is dedicated precisely to this. Amy was a fighter of the pandemic. She launched a platform dedicated to all parts of being a woman, whatever that definition means to people. In fact, she Is focused on avoiding labels and reducing women to a single role. Amy thought she always had great resilience but she admitted that this brought her resilience to a whole other level. Amy found higher barriers, higher hurdles and more shut doors. Catarina Gorgulho Catarina had been wanting to be an entrepreneur for a while, to have something hers, that she could look and feel and, ideally, that would be aligned with her passion for wellness. Funny enough, compared to other entrepreneurs I have met, the product came last. And it was as simple as Lupin Beans. Catarina. Pedro and Alice have really worked on bringing a new face to Lupin Beans through Tarwi. As they set up a business through the pandemic, I was curious to know how to launch a dream like this during a time like this! With a good knowledge of social media, they launched with the people. This proximity of brands and people brought about by lockdown was already known to me by prior episodes of the podcast. But the result here was extraordinary. They were stocked out whenever they were back in stock! Jessica Postiglione Jessica and I went to school together in the US. She is now on her second start-up past corporate life and we had a conversation about the journey. A hot topic is always about the move from corporate life into entrepreneurship. She reminds us that there is never a right time. After her first start-up came soul-searching and just then the pandemic hit. As she tried to keep herself mentally and physically fit, her company was born. And if you think she was just in ideation mode through the pandemic, not quite! In fact, I will never forget she actually had her first factory tour over facetime. There was no stopping her determination. Kirsten Robinson Kerstin decided to leave the corporate finance life to create her business. As Catarina, she had a few ideas but not THE idea. She ended up making juice. They tried flavours, put them in cafes and hung around to see what people thought. A bit of stalking arguably, however humble in approach. Step by step, they were ready to expand. And as the pandemic hit, the multi-channel approach protected them from the hit (or part of it) and their customer appeal led them to close an oversubscribed round of crowdfunding. Jenna Stein Jenna founded Berlin Clothing Swap out of her own need to get clothes in an affordable and sustainable way. As we moved to a more personal conversation, there were quite a few bits that stuck with me. As we debated life past pandemic. Jenna did reiterate how important it was to learn that it is OK to say no. There will always be another party. Khyati Sundaram Khyati was yet another financier Fellow that left into the unknown and without a clear path ahead, For the podcast, we focused on her start-up number 2, as she realised her resume did not fit after leaving start-up number 1. It is no surprise she joined Applied, focused on removing bias from the recruitment process. The focus is on skills alone. To this day Khyati has given me what I still think is one of my favourite quotes. Be as Water. Joana Dias da Cunha Joana runs the impact business Fair Bazaar, aligned with her mission to educate and inspire. Again, I found an amazing woman that decided not to stay still in the face of a problem. In her case, It was a movie that woke her up to the damage of fast fashion. Running the company has been a multi-stage adventure and one that is still very much moving. The pandemic forced store shutdowns, but also created the opportunity for her to grow her online business, launch Fair News and grow her education practice. Zeze Oriaikhi-Sao Malee is Africa's First global Luxury fragrance and body care brand. Zeze describes herself as multi-hyphenated. To this podcast, I had not realized the presence of multiple hyphens in my life. But the way that Zeze described it was what grabbed my attention. In a time when I was truly thinking how I needed to drop hyphens, she called it limitless. As I close. l think I want to stick to ZEZE's advice to all Of us. Be bold, what is the worse that can happen? I am grateful for this journey and grateful for the women that made it what it became. For the ability to find growth, for the ability to lift themselves up, for their authenticity and willingness to share, Produced by Alice Stansfield

“Super Gremlin” first landed on DSPs in October 2021 as part of the Sniper Gang Presents Syko Bob & Snapkatt: Nightmare Babie project. The single has finally risen into the Top 10 of this week's Hot 100 chart. After jumping six spots on Billboard‘s latest Hot 100 tally, Kodak Black's “Super Gremlin” reached a new peak at #10. Black now has three career Top Tenners following “Tunnel Vision” in 2017 (#6) and “ZEZE” featuring Travis Scott and Offset in 2018 (#2). “Super Gremlin” opened at #97 back in October. So far, the Atl Jacob-produced track has spent nine total weeks on the Hot 100 chart. Five of those weeks included Top 40 positions. Kodak Black went viral on social media back in December after taking part in a “Super Gremlin” reaction video on the ZIAS! YouTube channel. The awkward exchange with Zias and B. Lou caused some viewers to grow concerned about Black's well-being. “Lol I B Fakin Like I'm Sleepy Ion B High Guys I Get Drug Tested Consistently,” tweeted Kodak Black at the time. He also added, “Dat mean ion really wanna talk or ain't hearing what you saying [for real] when I close my eyes like dat! Anyways a n#### be up 18 hrs skr8 everyday grinding.” What's going on Internet, Analytic here aka Dreamz and I would like to welcome you to mine, which I call the Notorious Mass Effect Podcast!

Zeze grew up with a love of play and a love of teaching. She became an entrepreneur early in her life and has evolved into a "multi-hyphenated" self as an entrepreneur, beauty and cosmetics industry expert, luxury brand consultant, influential speaker, podcast host, freelance columnist and social media personality. Her company, Malee, is Africa's 1st global luxury fragrance and body care brand. Zeze tells the story of how she has grown with her company through the ups and downs of running a business and life all in one. A non-considered start Zeze started her entrepreneurship career more than 10 years ago shortly after finishing school. It all looks well thought of and planned out, but in fact, it was a product of factors and not very considered. Zeze did know she would eventually follow her passions and dreams in entrepreneurship but expected she would do that much later in her career. Don't worry, she did have a business plan, but the truth is that she was not yet 100% sure she was going to do this at the time she launched. That showed as she took a day job in the meantime and did not really believe when she got a call from CNN to talk about Malee. When she considered her options, someone gave her the advice she remembers today "What is the worst that can happen?" Losing the passion Zeze started with her vision for the business but ended up deviating from it, going into retail, investing in manufacturing and working 7 days a week. At that point, she no longer woke up loving her business. And as the joy started to go down, she also started making less money. As she had external consultants come in and look into her business, they helped her see the difficulty in scaling the operations and also the impact of any moments she was not there on the bottom line. At that point, she recognised she was working on it, but dying slowly, and without any joy. It is interesting Zeze brought this up because people assume entrepreneurs always have a passion for their business. But a lot of times, passion can fade. And what do you do then? "This isn't life" Taking the helm back Zeze focused on what she needed from the business to be able to continue to be at the helm of the ship.  So that is how the business evolved, with this mix of personal and professional experiences. And from the realizations that come with running a business for 12 years. Not only do you change as a person, the business changes but even the world you are in changes. Retail is today totally different from what it was 5 years ago, and even from what it was 18 months ago. With a business that was 80% based on the hospitality industry, Malee took a huge impact when the pandemic hit and a lot of questions had to be asked. How to pandemic proof the business? The first adjustment that Zeze had to go through was to accept there was no work. There was no business to sell. This is when having a decade behind and being quite frugal has really helped her endure this period. At the same time, Zeze dedicated this downtime to sit down with the team and re-organize while getting operationally fit to be able to stretch the margins post the pandemic. So, for the first 6 months, all was cool and there was no panic. But as the pandemic stretched out and post a lot of cuts in expenditure and personnel, there was a point Zeze was indeed ready to panic. Looking forward All in all, the business survived the pandemic and has also taken this chance to change their relationship with their customers and diversify away from B2B. It is not the first time we hear on the podcast how the pandemic was such a crucial moment for brands to relate to their customers. Back to the original business, Zeze is now also more focused on a broader lifestyle brand and is venturing into apparel. She has also become much bolder with the expansion, so has started pushing the business outside its comfort zone. Being Bold One of my favourites was to find out how Zeze described herself as a leader. She realized how bold she had been already in her 12-year business. Malee was the first female black-owned brand to launch in Harvey Nichols (even before Rihanna) - and extremely successful. She was able to grow a luxury brand out of Africa into the "first world" where there are so many options already and being able to stand next to the best in the game. It reinforces that no dream is too big. "No one puts Baby in a corner Dirty Dancing The secret of expanding time I get this question a lot - how do I do all the things that I do. And Zeze is just like that. She has the mindset of being "limitless" in all the things she is working on. She loves the pace and the diversity. And despite the apparent lack of connectivity, they do all come together in an incremental way. Gone are the days where she felt confined to being Malee all day and every day. As the business is no longer a baby that needs her every second, she is finding value in all the things that make her "multi-hyphenated". I think I like her explanation! The only problem I had with this podcast is that I could have gone on for hours listening to Zeze's story. She was an open-sharer and I feel like I learnt a fair amount and just kept absorbing her great stories. What was your biggest take?
