James O'Loghlin had only just reconnected with one of his best and oldest friends, Jum Wallner, when Jum received some terrible news. What began next was a high stakes race with a fatal deadline.The two men had grown up in Canberra, where thousands of homes had been filled with asbestos, which was often carelessly installed and removed.Jum himself had grown up in one of these so-called "Mr Fluffy" homes, named after the local company that had installed the carcinogenic insulation.When Jum felt a pain in his side, it wasn't long before the father of two and husband was diagnosed with mesothelioma and given months to live.Jum had discovered that if you got sick from being exposed to asbestos in your workplace you were entitled to compensation, but if it came from your home, you got nothing.So Jum asked his old friend James for some help to petition the powers that be to help asbestos victims like himself and their families.James began a race against time, trying to convince both the ACT and Federal governments to help Jum and others, in the middle of a pandemic, before it was too late.Along the way, James and Jum reconnected deeply as friends who desperately wished they had more time together.The Missing Piece is published by Echo Publishing.More information about the Loose-Fill Asbestos Disease Support Scheme can be found at the ACT Government's website. This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores friendship, male friendship, university days, terminal disease, James Hardie, cancer, terminal diagnosis, how to grieve a friend, activism, petition governments, Covid, pandemic, Greg Hunt, Angus Taylor, compensation, accidental activist, dying friends, mourning, funerals, Andrew Barr, ALP, Labor party, Liberals, bipartisan, Albanese, politics, Auspol, burnout, diagnosis.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Macca and Kenny are in the hosting seats this week. John Wintle is on panel. Agnes was this week’s production assistant and James is doing the podcast. Macca and Kenny’s first guest this week is a legend of Australian 70s and 80s Rock Music and a monumental figure in environmentalism, Indigenous Rights and anti-Nuclear activism. Midnight Oil front-man, and former ALP environment minister, Peter Garrett lead an independent inquiry into the Aukus defence pact, launched by a group of Labor veterans and public figures concerned proper scrutiny has never been applied to the $368bn defence plan. Garrett, will be the lead commissioner on the five-month community-based investigation, being launched on the 9th of June of this year, it will hold public hearings and take written submissions before delivering a final report by 30 October. ‘Labor agreed to support the deal for Australia to acquire nuclear submarines in collaboration with the US and the UK, negotiated under the Morrison government and announced in 2021. As part of the agreement, Australia is funding upgrades to the US defence industrial base and will start receiving second-hand nuclear submarines in 2032'. Garrett said the new inquiry – supported by trade unions and non-profit organisations – would consider if the subs can be delivered on time and on budget, how nuclear waste will be managed and if Australia's defence and strategic interests are well served by the deal. He has previously lashed Aukus, saying the plan “stinks” and represents “the most costly and risky action ever taken by any Australian government”. “This inquiry is doing the job that a proper parliamentary inquiry should be doing,” Garrett told Guardian Australia'. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/17/peter-garrett-says-nuclear-submarine-deal-most-costly-and-risky-action-ever-taken-by-an-australian-government Photograph: Adam Ferguson/The Guardian The post Sat, 20th June, 2026: Peter Garrett, frmr Environment Minister and Midnight Oil front-man, Independent AUKUS Review. appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

This is one of those episodes I usually reserve for my mentorship courses and the practitioners I train, so I'm really glad I decided to bring it to the show. There is so much noise right now on Instagram and TikTok about liver health and gallbladder health, but a 20-slide carousel can only go so deep. My hope is that hearing this explained — with real stories and analogies — actually moves you to explore your own digestive health in a meaningful way. In this episode, I cover: Why your liver, digestive system, and nervous system are interconnected — and what happens when one goes offline The constellation of symptoms that get dismissed as "just IBS" or "just perimenopause" (bloating, bowel irregularities, right-sided shoulder ache, mood swings, waking between 1–3 AM, and more) How your liver metabolizes estrogen — and what estrogen dominance really signals about liver load The two phases of liver detoxification, which nutrients support each phase (B vitamins, magnesium bisglycinate, glycine, NAC), and what happens when those phases become sluggish The gallbladder's role as the liver's partner — and why removing it without addressing root cause is a missed opportunity The gut–brain axis, the vagus nerve, and why 90% of your serotonin is made in the gut Beta-glucuronidase — why your gut microbiome is directly influencing your hormone balance Blood work markers to request from your doctor: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, ferritin, fasting insulin, HbA1c, full lipid panel, and more Functional testing I recommend: comprehensive stool test, Dutch Complete, HTMA, and when to consider an OAT test Nutrition priorities: cruciferous vegetables, bitter greens, fiber diversity, healthy fats, choline (please don't ditch the egg yolk), and eating in a parasympathetic state Supplement support for the liver, gut, and nervous system — including Hepato DR, L-glutamine, GI Revive, ox bile, calcium D-glucarate, and adaptogens Let's dive in!

Beyond the Pearls: Cases for Med School, Residency and Beyond (An InsideTheBoards Podcast)
Today's Case A 77-year-old male with a history of sick sinus syndrome status post pacemaker placement, ulcerative colitis, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus was referred by his primary medical doctor for jaundice and pruritus. His doctor noted newly elevated liver enzymes alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 672 U/L, total bilirubin (BR) 5.0 mg/dL, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 77 U/L, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 63 U/L. When he presented to the liver clinic, his total bilirubin increased to 20 mg/dL. On review of his records, a trend of abnormal liver enzymes was noted with no prior workup. Today's Reader Jared Fehlman is an Internal Medicine Resident at Huntington Health Hospital in Pasadena, California. About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

Dnes působí lanovky v Alpách jako samozřejmost. Ve dvacátých letech minulého století ale šlo o odvážnou novinku. Na masivu Rax nedaleko Vídně tehdy rakouští inženýři postavili první osobní lanovku v zemi. Když se 9. června 1926 rozjela, otevřela cestu do hor tisícům lidí, kteří by se jinak na vrchol nikdy nevydali. Lanovka se brzy stala symbolem moderní doby. A přestože během následujících desetiletí několikrát bojovala o přežití, vozí cestující dodnes.

Když byl v Alpách objeven slavný ledový muž Ötzi, vědci získali jedinečné okno do života doby měděné. Nová studie ale naznačuje něco ještě překvapivějšího: některé mikroorganismy uvnitř jeho těla možná přežily více než 5 000 let v jakémsi biologickém „spánku“!Výzkumníci identifikovali kvasinky, které byly po rozmrazení mumie stále biologicky aktivní. Extrémní chlad, sucho a stabilní podmínky v ledovci mohly vytvořit prostředí, které mikroorganismům umožnilo přečkat tisíciletí. Nejde o oživení mrtvého organismu, ale o přežití mikrobů, kteří dokážou dlouhodobě přečkávat nepříznivé podmínky...Objev je zajímavý nejen pro archeologii, ale i pro astrobiologii. Pokud mohou některé mikroorganismy přežít tisíce let zamrzlé v ledu na Zemi, podobné mechanismy by mohly fungovat i na Marsu, Europě nebo dalších ledových světech Sluneční soustavy. Ötzi tak možná nepomáhá jen poznávat minulost lidstva, ale i hledat život ve vesmíru!Vědátor vznikl jako spinoff olomouckého spolku studentů a popularizátorů vědy UP Crowd.

In this episode of Socially Democratic, your Australian Labor politics and campaigns podcast, host Stephen Donnelly is joined by senior Democratic consultant and former Obama field organiser Katie Parsons for a deep dive into the state of the Democratic Party.The DNC finally released its post-mortem of the 2024 Harris presidential campaign. It was, to put it diplomatically, not great. Neither the campaign, nor the post-mortem. So what do we actually know about what went wrong, and is the party any closer to having answers?With the US midterms six months away and the 2028 presidential primary already taking shape, Katie and Stephen unpack it all:

What's really driving the rise of Pauline Hanson, Nigel Farage, and the global populist wave? Internationally renowned political strategist Isaac Levido joins the Menzies Research Centre's David Hughes to break down why voters across Australia, the UK, and the US are abandoning traditional parties in droves. From masterminding the 2019 Conservative and Liberal Party election wins, to working inside Downing Street, Isaac brings rare, frontline insight to the biggest political question of our time: why are voters so angry, and is anyone listening? We cover: Why the social contract between citizens and government has broken down The tech revolution that's making government look worse by comparison Why "small target" election strategies are backfiring on the ALP and Starmer's Labour What Pauline Hanson and Nigel Farage actually have in common How businesses can protect themselves in an era of voter rage and regulatory risk "Voters aren't stupid. They're doing everything right — working hard, paying their taxes — and they just can't get ahead." If you want to understand where Western democracy is heading, this is the conversation to watch.

At Data Makers Fest, a recurring theme was the tension between GenAI hype and production reality. Speakers stressed that classical ML, MLOps, evaluation, data quality, and governance remain essential—especially in regulated sectors like fintech and healthcare. Another strong theme was inclusivity: building AI that serves smaller languages, diverse communities, and practitioners beyond the English-centric ecosystem.Ryan Chaves. Head of ML at a Dutch fintech, Ryan focused on the gap between AI demos and production systems. He argued that classical ML remains critical for fraud detection and risk scoring, while GenAI works best as an accelerator on top of existing systems. He also emphasized storytelling, stakeholder communication, and mentorship as core engineering skills.Alp Öktem. Computational linguist and researcher Alp explored the imbalance between AI progress in English and low-resource languages. Through Mozilla Data Collective, he highlighted how open datasets, speech corpora, and synthetic data can expand AI access to underrepresented communities. His broader warning: fluent AI can still fail culturally, linguistically, and ethically.Agnieszka Kamińska. Working in pharmaceutical ML engineering, Agnieszka discussed extracting scientific knowledge from research documents into knowledge graphs. Her focus was reliability: LLMs help with entity extraction and relationship discovery, but trustworthy systems still require ontologies, validation layers, and production-minded engineering. She advocated a pragmatic middle ground between AI hype and skepticism.Nemanja Radojković. An MLOps engineer in finance, Nemanja reflected on how GenAI is changing software engineering itself. He argued that coding assistants improve productivity but risk weakening engineers' understanding if overused. His central point: governance, reproducibility, and platform engineering will become even more important as organizations deploy AI agents at scale.Filipa Castro. Leading AI initiatives at Euronext, Filipa described how GenAI is integrated into regulated financial workflows. Her team uses LLMs to automate document-heavy operational processes while preserving human validation. Her broader message: successful enterprise AI depends less on flashy models and more on infrastructure foundations like CI/CD, monitoring, governance, and operational rigor.Beatriz Silva. As a student volunteer pursuing a master's in data science, Beatriz represented the conference's educational and community dimension. For her, the event was about access—networking with companies, exploring thesis opportunities, and connecting academic learning with industry practice. Her perspective highlighted how conferences like Data Makers Fest help shape the next generation of AI practitioners.Connect with speakers: Ryan Chaves.

This episode of Socially Democratic discusses the UK local, Scottish, and Welsh election results, and what Labour's historic collapse means for social democracy.Reform UK surged across England, Scotland, and Wales. Labour lost its 115-year dominance in Wales. And inside the Parliamentary Labour Party, calls for Keir Starmer to stand down are growing louder.Host Stephen Donnelly is joined by two insiders who know British Labour politics intimately:
This episode of Socially Democratic discusses the 2026 Federal Budget — Jim Chalmers' most ambitious yet — with Emma Dawson, Executive Director of the Chifley Research Centre, and economist Adam Triggs, Partner at Mandala. Is this really the most significant tax reform package in a quarter of a century? Stephen, Emma, and Adam think so. Here's why.
