Hey, I know that there are some skeptics in Auckland. We're holding our first regular (monthly) Skeptics in the Pub this Tuesday night (4th October, 7pm) at Dice & Fork at Victoria Park Market. We'd love to see you there.
In October 2021 Monat launched in Australia, to much internal fanfare and not much else. Engagement on their facebook page is meagre, and their Instagram is only marginally better. One of the incentives offered to potential distributors (or market partners, in Monat parlance), if they registered early, was a chance to earn shares through the Asia Pacific Founders Pool. The company had been incorporated in NZ as a branch of Monat Australia, and I was curious if anything would come of it.
At-home testing is not a new concept. More than likely you or someone you know tests their blood sugar levels regularly and needs to treat a low blood sugar at some point. Home pregnancy and ovulation tests are also ubiquitous.

Late last week saw some carnage in crypto markets - dubbed the crypto crash. We've covered cryptocurrencies and their associated technologies, such as NFTs many times.
This week we're covering a few different topics. I look at some potential good news in relation to SIDS and look back at claims made about it in the past. We've got some bizarre claims of paranormal ability related to wind control (don't think I've ever come across that one before), and I look at the recent crash in cryptocurrency markets.
