G'day, and welcome back to True Blue Conversations. Today's guest is Lucas Atkins, a former Australian Federal Police Close Protection Officer whose 12-year career placed him at the very centre of some of Australia's most significant security operations. Lucas began his policing career protecting high-profile dignitaries, including the United States and Israeli Ambassadors, as well as international VIPs such as the Dalai Lama. His professionalism and dedication soon earned him a position within one of the AFP's most elite close protection teams, where he became responsible for the full-time security of Australian Prime Ministers Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd. Lucas was on the ground during the dramatic events of Australia Day 2012, when protests marking the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy escalated into a major security incident. As the threat rapidly intensified, Lucas played a key role in the emergency evacuation of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition from a Canberra venue surrounded by hostile protesters. After leaving the Australian Federal Police, Lucas continued working in close personal protection operations across the globe, protecting clients in some of the world's most demanding environments. Today, he has taken that wealth of experience and founded his own business. But this conversation goes far beyond protective operations and high-profile missions. It's a raw and honest discussion about identity, purpose, and the challenges that so many veterans and first responders face when the uniform comes off. We talk about transition, rebuilding life after service, and finding a new mission beyond the job. This is an episode filled with stories from behind the security cordon, lessons forged under pressure, and a powerful reminder that the toughest battles often begin after the career ends. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the True-Blue Conversations of former Australian Federal Police Close Protection Officer, Lucas Atkins. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Lucas Atkins Editor: Kyle Watkins

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: What animal is the most lethal to humans?  Depending on how we define lethal, and animal, this answer is actually not straight forward.  Globally and in the U.S. the most lethal animal is humans, accounting for ~436,000 to ~20,000 deaths (homicides) per year on average respectively.  In the United States the most lethal animal is of the Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets). It accounts for approximately ~60 deaths per year from anaphylaxis. Globally the number is harder to track, but is estimated between 250–3,800 deaths globally annually.  Globally the most lethal animal is venomous snakes, accounting for between 60,000-150,000 per year (whereas in the United States this number is closer to ~5).  Mosquitos, as a vector however for the pathogens they transmit, out rank all as the most lethal globally (excluding humans).   What are the key take-aways for each insect discussed in this episode? Mosquitos: In the United States, of lesser concern. Can potentially transmit West Nile Virus in the United States. Otherwise, treatment for general mosquito bites is topical antihistamines and over the counter steroid creams.  Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets): Distributed throughout the US, and can also live in the ground.  Bees lose their stinger during a sting. Whereas wasps do not and can sting multiple times.  Typically stings are just localized for symptoms (pain and swelling) but can become anaphylactic.  Treat with IM Epinephrine as the first line. Consider bronchodilators from bronchospasms.  Multiple stings (around ~100), can cause end organ damage and rhabdomyolysis outside of just anaphylaxis alone. Require more aggressive management.  Fire Ants: Behave similar to bees (in swarm mentality), but have differing venoms. Can also cause global symptoms. Black Widow:  No deaths from Latrodectus hesperus (Western Black Widow) recorded in the United States. There are 3 deaths globally from widow species. Two from Madagascar, and one from a Mediterranean species of widow. Debate in the toxicology community about use of the antivenom, which may account for more deaths than the bite itself.  Black Widow bites are typically painful. Which is different from bites from recluse species.   Brown Recluse:  Rare in Colorado Typically painless bite, that creates a center necrotic eschar.  Tend to also not be lethal.  Bed Bugs Typically harmless and more of a nuisance to have. Can cause localized infections.  Bite presents in a "Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner" formation (i.e. linear 2-3 or more bites as the bug tracks and feeds on skin).  Will feed primarily on exposed skin. The biggest concern is ensuring no cross contamination from patient to provider or facility.  Bed bug bite delivers a small amount of local anesthetic, which can make them hard to detect.

Jetzt habt ihr euer NAS, um eure Dateien lokal zu speichern statt bei Google Drive, OneDrive oder Dropbox. Aber wie denn nun konkret? Bindet man den Netzwerkspeicher einfach als SMB-Share ein? Installiere ich umständlich eine Nextcloud? Bringt das NAS vielleicht was mit, beispielsweise Qsync von Qnap? Und was können diese Peer-2-Peer-Lösungen wie Syncthing, Resilio und Seafile? Oder machen Localsend und KDE Connect den ganzen Kram nicht viel einfacher? Im Podcast gehen die c't-Redakteure Niklas Dierking, Stefan Porteck und Jörg Wirtgen diese Fragen durch. Zuerst die einfachste Lösung, ein Netzwerk-Share. Wir diskutieren die Vor- und Nachteile der gängigsten Protokolle SMB, NFS, Webdav und AFP und gehen dann auf die strukturellen Eigenschaften ein: Die Dateien liegen dann nicht lokal vor, sondern man benötigt ständig eine Netzwerkverbindung, und um von außerhalb des eigenen LANs zuzugreifen, muss beispielsweise der Router ein VPN- oder Wireguard-Netz aufspannen und man muss das irgendwie per DynDNS finden. Auch wie gut das auf dem Smartphone geht, erwähnen wir. Eine Alternative wäre, Nextcloud auf dem NAS zu installieren: Die Daten liegen dann lokal vor, allerdings benötigt man DynDNS und VPN weiterhin. Wir sind einerseits zufrieden damit, auch weil die meisten Nextcloud-Clients ganz gut mit virtuellen Dateien umgehen können (die nur auf Wunsch lokal gepuffert vorliegen). Andererseits haben wir alle drei Zuverlässigkeits- und Geschwindigkeitsprobleme mit Nextcloud festgestellt, vielleicht aber auch aufgrund zu schwachbrüstiger NAS-Geräte. Gerade wenn man einen Reverse Proxy benötigt, der den DynDNS-Namen innerhalb des LANs auf eine lokale IP umbiegt, damit Transfers nicht auf die Geschwindigkeit der Internet-Anbindung beschränkt sind, und wenn man das beispielsweise mit einem PiHole im Docker auf dem NAS löst, könnten einige NAS überfordert sein. Einen interessanten Tipp brachte Niklas: OpenCloud ist ein abgespeckter Fork von Nextcloud, der vielleicht performanter läuft. Was auch einen Blick wert ist: Die Software, die das NAS mitbringt. Qnap beispielsweise kommt mit Qsync, was ein ähnlicher Dienst ist: Clients für Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS; die Clients verbinden sich im LAN automatisch direkt per IP; DynDNS über Qnap-Dienste eingebaut; virtuelle Dateien funktionieren einigermaßen. Weitere Alternativen sind Peer-2-Peer-Lösungen. Eigentlich synchronisieren sie Verzeichnisse zwischen zwei Geräten, die dazu eingeschaltet sein müssen. Auf den ersten Blick klingt es unpraktisch, extra seinen PC einschalten zu müssen, damit das Handy auf aktuellen Stand kommt. Aber der Trick beim NAS ist natürlich, dort einen Client permanent laufen zu lassen. Vorteil der Systeme: Sie fummeln sich von selbst durch die Firewall, sodass man keinen DynDNS benötigt, und der lokale Zugriff erfolgt automatisch schnell. Syncthing machte sich als solches Peer-2-Peer-System bei allen drei gut, auch weil es das für einige NAS als native Anwendung gibt. Allerdings fehlen virtuelle Dateien. Zur Sprache kommen auch die Alternativen Resilio Sync und Seafile. Schließlich sprachen wir über ganz andere Lösungen, um explizit nur einzelne Dateien auszutauschen, aber auch beispielsweise Zwischenablagen, und das ganze auch ohne Usernamen und Passwörter einfach mit Leuten im gleichen Raum – so etwas wie Apple AirDrop oder Google Quick Share, nur systemübergreifend. Gute Erfahrungen gabs mit Localsend und mit KDE Connect – das anders als der Name vermuten lässt, auch Clients für Windows, macOS, Android und iOS bereit hält.

This week, an outlet in Canada contacted me with a series of questions about comments I've made regarding MAiD and organ donation in Canada.The inquiry references an earlier AFP fact-check and subsequent CTV coverage, but rather than send a private response that can be summarized or selectively quoted, I decided to answer every question publicly and in full.In this episode, I walk through the original comments, clarify what I was asking, explain what I believe the evidence shows, and respond directly to each of the four questions sent to me.I also examine publicly available guidance from Canadian Blood Services, Health Canada's funding of CAMAP, and concerns raised by bioethicists regarding the relationship between MAiD policy and organ donation systems.Whether you agree with my conclusions or not, I believe these discussions deserve transparency, context, and a complete public record.This video is my answer, on the record.Sources• Blendr News Interview (33:42 and 44:26)• The Kelsi Sheren Perspective Episode Referenced (18:04 and 19:02)• Sarah Westall Interview (25:29)• Canadian Blood Services / CMAJ — Deceased Organ and Tissue Donation After Medical Assistance in Dying: 2023 Updated Guidance for Policy• Health Canada — Canada Releases Medical Assistance in Dying Accredited Training Program for Health Professionals (September 2023)• Macdonald-Laurier Institute — Bridging the Gaps• MAiD in Canada Article (add link when published)Chapters0:00 — Why MAiD in Canada Contacted Me1:00 — The Actual Record: The Quotes in Question2:30 — My Direct Answer3:30 — What the Documents Actually Say7:00 — Answering All Four Questions9:30 — Final Response- - - - - - - - - - -Buy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

In December, AFP published a fact-check about me by name. Last month, CTV turned that fact-check into a segment called Deception Decoded, using clips from my appearance on The Blendr Report.Neither outlet contacted me before publishing. Not once.In this episode, I do what they didn't: go through their claims line by line. What I actually said, what they say I said, and what their own reporting confirms — including that Canada leads the world in organ donation after assisted death and that more than 16,000 Canadians underwent MAID in 2024 alone.I also examine why Health Canada — the government agency responsible for overseeing the program — was presented as the primary authority for evaluating questions and concerns about MAID. And why that matters as Canada moves toward expanding eligibility to individuals experiencing mental health conditions in 2027.My invitation remains open to both AFP and CTV: come on the show and have the conversation you never offered me.Sources• AFP Fact Check (December 10, 2025)• CTV Deception Decoded (May 11, 2026)• Health Canada Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying (2024)• Bill C-62 and MAID Expansion Timeline• Original Blendr Report Appearance (Full Unedited Episode)Chapters0:00 — They Built a Segment Around Me and Never Called1:30 — What Actually Happened4:00 — What I Said vs. What They Say I Said7:00 — What Their Own Article Admits10:30 — When the Government Grades Its Own Program14:00 — What's Coming in 2027 and Why It Matters17:00 — My Open InvitationBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

C dans l'air du 16 juin 2026 - Trump reçu à Versailles : pourquoi tant d'honneurs ?Le G7 d'Évian s'ouvre dans un climat de tensions diplomatiques et de fortes incertitudes internationales. Au centre de toutes les attentions : Donald Trump. Fidèle à sa réputation, le président américain impose son rythme et ses priorités à ses partenaires. Jusqu'à faire modifier le calendrier du sommet et reléguer certaines questions sensibles au second plan.Mais c'est surtout la réception prévue mercredi à Versailles pour célébrer les 250 ans de l'indépendance américaine qui interroge. Pourquoi dérouler le tapis rouge à un dirigeant qui multiplie les menaces commerciales contre ses alliés européens ? Quelques heures avant son arrivée en France, Donald Trump a encore menacé de taxer lourdement les vins français et provoqué la colère de plusieurs capitales européennes avec de nouvelles restrictions dans le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle.Face à lui, Emmanuel Macron tente de préserver le dialogue. Les deux hommes se sont rencontrés lundi à Évian, affichant une relation cordiale malgré des divergences persistantes sur plusieurs dossiers stratégiques, du Moyen-Orient au commerce international.Autre sujet majeur de ce G7 : la guerre en Ukraine. Alors que Volodymyr Zelensky est présent sur les bords du lac Léman ce mardi, Donald Trump assure pouvoir faire avancer les discussions avec Moscou. Dans le même temps, Londres et Ottawa annoncent un durcissement de leurs sanctions contre la Russie afin d'accentuer la pression sur le Kremlin.Dans un monde marqué par les conflits, les rivalités économiques et les bouleversements géopolitiques, quelle place occupe encore l'Alliance transatlantique ? Faut-il continuer à ménager Donald Trump ou au contraire lui opposer un rapport de force plus ferme ? Trump à Versailles : pourquoi tant d'honneur ?

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, CIA and MI6 launched an audacious series of clandestine operations to infiltrate and destabilize Communist Albania — and lost nearly every agent they sent in. Historian Stephen Long, Assistant Professor in International Relations at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and author of A Rich Harvest of Bitter Fruit, reconstructs how the Albanian Sigurimi, one of Eastern Europe's most formidable counterintelligence services, turned the West's covert action program into a catastrophe — aided, from the inside, by British Russian spy Kim Philby. Long examines the fractured exile networks that became the human raw material for these missions, the diverging British and American strategic objectives, and the 1952 Apple mission's disastrous double cross. He traces how Albania's failures quietly shaped the covert interventions to come — in Iran, in Guatemala — and what the human cost demands of the institutions that ordered it.Subscribe and share to stay ahead in the world of intelligence, global issues, and current affairs.Order A Rich Harvest of Bitter Fruit: https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/A-Rich-Harvest-of-Bitter-Fruit-by-Stephen-Long/9781837732241Connect with Stephen: https://scholar.xjtlu.edu.cn/en/persons/SteveLong/Support Secrets and SpiesBecome a “Friend of the Podcast” on Patreon for £3/$4: https://www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpiesBuy merchandise from our shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/60934996Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/secretsandspiesSubscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVB23lrHr3KFeXq4VU36dgFor more information about the podcast, check out our website: https://secretsandspiespodcast.comConnect with us on social mediaBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/secretsandspies.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/secretsandspiesFacebook: https://facebook.com/secretsandspiesSpoutible: https://spoutible.com/SecretsAndSpiesFollow Chris and Matt on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/chriscarrfilm.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattfulton.netSecrets and Spies is produced by Films & Podcasts LTD: https://filmsandpodcasts.co.uk/Music by Andrew R.
