IT NEVER HAPPENED DarleneShanta This podcast will bring awareness to the silent taboo conversations about traumas that affect the Mind, Body, and Spirit. The conversations within this podcast will target the cause an affect to past, present and future family culture, self awareness and purpose. Releasing our known and unknown issues and our survival stories are necessary to be talked about. So, Let's keep it real, let's keep it live and let's bring peace to our minds, bodies and Spirits ! Let's taboo talk about what Never Happened! Kathy's Bald Move Katherine Guarino In July this year, I got out the clippers and shaved my hair off for blood cancer. Why? Because it’s true what they say, cancer does not discriminate. Whether you have been through it personally, or know someone who has been affected by it, in some way or another, we have all been impacted by cancer. I speak with those who are willing to share their cancer journey. I hope that by sharing our stories, we will not only see that we are not alone in that we all have an experience of cancer, but we can also raise awareness for a really great cause.If you would like to donate to our team, “Kathy’s Bald Move,” you can do so by clicking the following link:http://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/kathysbaldmove Voices Podcast Series - Free Yourself Global Transcendent Media Capital "Voices" is the first production of Free Yourself Global, the first global and cross-cultural domestic violence campaign. This series brings together all of the voices of the participants of domestic violence, including recovering abusers, victims, children, educators, support agencies and health professionals, law enforcement agencies, policy-makers, celebrities and social entrepreneurs who work to aid in this cause. It is the aim that "Voices" encourages people to open up and share their stories so we can get the heart of what is it that will empower us, whatever our role in domestic violence to interrupt the cycle of violence that often perpetuates through families for generations. We acknowledge that abuse in families affects men, women, children and the elderly, all over the world. We hope this series will provide an important source of primary research to assist policy-makers and individuals to end domestic violence.

At smaller length scales the ripples driven by surface tension affect remote sensing. At intermediate length scales waves in the mid-ocean affect shipping and near the shoreline they control the coastal morphology and the ability to navigate along shore. At larger length scales waves such as tsunamis and hurricane-generated waves can cause devastation on a global scale. Across all length scales an exchange of momentum and thermal energy between ocean and atmosphere occurs affecting the global weather system and the climate.From a mathematical viewpoint water waves pose rich challenges.The governing equations for water waves are a widely accepted model and they have been the subject of a wide range of research. However, the equations are highly nonlinear and the level of difficulty is so great that theory has yet to scratch the surface of the s
