Why Your Grandma Should Be Deadlifting: Inside the Asphodel Legends Program

But what's the reason that the weights are important?

Stephen MannGUEST
Yeah, and in Hong Kong, we see a lot of grannies and uncles and grandpas out in the parks moving around, walking and doing their kind of arms kind of waving, which is great.

Stephen MannGUEST
We all know that falling and kind of fractures of hips and bones really decreases quality of life and potentially very detrimental to especially our older populations.

Stephen MannGUEST
And as we age, our bones become less dense and we become much more prone to these fractures.

Stephen MannGUEST
And the only way to kind of stop that or even strengthen, that is through resistance training.

12:49BethHOST
And, you know, how would you say you program differently for the legends class than a regular class, but making sure they're getting that resistance training in?
ITSM tool churn and why organisations keep replacing them, with Stephen Mann

Barclay RaeHOST
So why is that and how can we maybe try and stop that, arrest that cycle? Because it's expensive, it's disruptive, it's time consuming, it eats into people's lives and work.

Stephen MannGUEST
What do you think? It's an interesting one because, as you say, we as an industry have been following IT service management churn for probably the last 20 years, maybe even longer.

Stephen MannGUEST
And we've always quoted an average organization will change ITSM tool every three to five years.

Stephen MannGUEST
that the tool didn't deliver on the promises, which could be the tool, it could be the selling and the demoing the tool.

Barclay RaeHOST
So maybe that is more of a business case then, but it still has to be done on the basis of why and what do we expect to get at the end.
Gen 18 : Praying Through Questions

Stephen MannGUEST
And some- but some people always want more numbers, right? They, they want more data, and I, I say look at what you've been given.
10 MINS LATER
Joshua BermanHOST
So what, what, what would you say? I mean, you know, why, why is this different than, than some of the more mercy-based intercessory prayers that we, that we might have elsewhere?
Why does paper fold so well?

Stephen MannGUEST
This is where the chemistry comes in, and it's the difference between something like a cotton napkin and a cotton piece of paper.

Stephen MannGUEST
So with a cotton napkin, you've actually got tremendously long threads of cotton, and you physically weave them together, so they're just mechanically held together.

Stephen MannGUEST
With paper, you've got these individual fibers, and if you look at the structure, they're made from cellulose.

Caroline SteelHOST
The paper-making process of refining the fibers, then squashing them together, allows lots of sticky hydrogen bonds to form, and those hydrogen bonds are partly why paper folds so perfectly.
