Wife, Mother, Warrior. Physically it is the transformation of Kidney Qi- in TCM the kidneys house the Jing Qi- the essential life force reservoir of energy. They also govern the endocrine system and the movement , storage and distribution of fluids throughout the body. When women go through menopause their Jing is transforming, & recalibrating to carry them into the next phase of life, the hormonal shift is why most women will suffer with hot flushing, anxiety, insomnia, heightened sensitivity and other emotional and physical upsets. During the shift the Kidneys are unable to anchor fluids like they once did.

She is quite timid of other people but given time, will make friends with them. She is constantly at our side and is always ready for a cuddle. Her favourite things are belly rubs, her dinner and going for walks. She is nearly 5 years old now and seems like she can almost read our minds. When we lost our previous dog, we never imagined we could have another beautiful companion like Poppy. Want your pet story and a portrait by Antonia Chew in What’s On? contact us to find out how! T e c h Ta l k w i t h T h at G e e k C av e m a n Internet Attacks – “IOT” In the news they have been talking about internet attacks using “IoT” devices in peoples houses. IOT stands for Internet Of Things and is any device that connects via wifi or network cable that you have in your house. The ones that are doing the attacking are things like baby monitors or security cameras, even your washing machine or fridge if it is connected and that is because there is usually very little to no security on these devices. The reason for this is because the people that make them think if it is only on your network then only you can access them, but in the real world things with no security get hacked. To stop this the first thing you should do is change the username and password on any device you get. Normally a device will use something like admin for both so it’s easy for someone to get in to the device and do anything they want with it.
