Today we take a look at Bringing out the Dead! A movie that teamed up Martin Scorsese with Paul Schrader and just like Taxi Driver, they take us to the urban jungle of New York. Nicholas Cage stars alongside some of the best actors of 1999 (John Goodman, Patricia Arquette, Ving Rhames) to talk about Ambulance drivers over 3 days.
Connie Johnson joined Wake Up Tri-Counties for the monthly edition of "Cambridge Happening" to talk about closures for the Village Office for Christmas and New Year, the trash and recycling schedule, and the Cambridge Fire and Ambulance Department's fundraiser. Cambridge residents are reminded that the village office will be closed December 24th and 25th, as well as December 31st and January 1st, for the holiday season. Trash and recycling will operate on normal schedules through both holiday weeks. The Cambridge Fire and Ambulance Department is hosting Rock and Roll Bingo on Saturday, January 10th, at the fire station. For information or reservations, contact Amy at 309-314-6328. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season.
Ambulance services are being abused by late night revellers who call 999 to get them home due to taxi shortages, according to paramedics; a primary school was forced to ask students to bring in their own toilet roll due to funding shortages; and the woman caught up in the viral Coldplay kiss cam has broken her silence. Fionnuala Jones and Dave Hanratty join The Last Word to discuss the week's trending stories. Catch the full chat by pressing the 'Play' button on this page!
Ambulance services nationwide are increasingly strained by calls that are not genuine medical emergencies. Some individuals misuse ambulances as a free taxi service, calling for transport after a night out and leaving the hospital without treatment.This abuse diverts critical resources, delays responses to real emergencies, and places additional pressure on paramedics, affecting their ability to provide timely and effective care.What needs to be done to tackle this, and how does this impact paramedics trying to do their job?Joining Andrea to discuss this is Angie Baily, Councillor in Tralee, David Hall, CEO of Lifeline Ambulance, Stephen McMahon from the Irish Patients' Association and more.
This week's episode topic comes from a listener-submitted AMA request - one worthy of its own episode. They ask - what single metric about a car's driving experience tells you the most before you drive it? === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === At first, you may think there's one straightforward answer. But you'd be wrong. Discussion begins with Jason's MK1 Volkswagen Cabriolet - a car he claims is the most fun he's ever driven. Derek roughly agrees - but counters with the Peugeot 205 Rallye, and much more substantially - the McLaren F1. But how can a nearly 40 year old subcompact convertible be as rewarding to drive as a hypercar? Mass seems like the obvious answer - but a 4000 lb car from today can often out-dance a 2000 lb car from 35 years ago. Take a Lotus Elise (perhaps, with a small cow in it) and a Rivian R1T - both will dance around a race track in a much more similarly than differently vs. any car and truck combination from even 10 years ago. Having covered that base, Jason and Derek explore other possibilities - including peak horsepower per RPM and engine configuration. Derek recalls a time when Alfa Romeo stuffed their Twin Cam four cylinder in everything from GTVs to large Ambulances - simply because it was a such a good engine despite whatever weight it was tasked to pull around. Jason decides to ask AI what it thinks, answering (oddly) with the Toyota Matrix, Honda Fit, and Nissan Versa. On theme with the MK1 Cabriolet, the boys discuss structural rigidity - which leads to another exploration of convertibles ranging from 996 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, to BMW Z3M, Mercedes-Benz SLK, and of course- the Nissan Murano Cross-Cabriolet. There's an answer for everyone out there - and more on this episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, the boys are back, and the energy is… volatile. David starts off in a mood that Jamma describes as "Vekna-level angry," but things quickly spiral into one of the most chaotic and revealing episodes yet.First up, Jamma drops a bombshell about his first week in his new management role. It involves a shouting match, a near-brawl on the warehouse floor, and a surprising peace offering involving pastry. We deep dive into the "fight or flight" response—are you a runner, or do you stand your ground when a driver gets in your face?Meanwhile, David confesses to his new addiction: using AI to develop his trucking game. Is it coding genius or lazy cheating? He breaks down how he's using technology to build new features (and stranger things skins) without knowing exactly how the code works.Tom takes us into the seedy underbelly of the UK waste industry, exposing a massive illegal fly-tipping scandal in Oxford involving hundreds of trucks and organized crime. This leads to a grim but necessary discussion about truck stop hygiene—specifically, the "piss bottle" epidemic plaguing lay-bys everywhere.Also in this episode:Beard Science: The uncomfortable truth about facial hair follicles and why Jamma thinks beards are "racist."Fact Check: The boys try to guess the true, often gruesome origins of idioms like "Caught Red-Handed," "Balls to the Wall," and "Bite the Bullet."Parenting Fears: From Minecraft prodigies to the terrifying anxiety of watching your kids near a cliff edge.Tom's New Gig: Why Tom is volunteering for St. John's Ambulance (and why he's probably overqualified).It's educational, it's slightly gross, and it's mostly just another trucking podcast.

Wenn die Digitalisierung fehlschlägt: The London Ambulance System DisasterWas passiert, wenn Politik alles automatisieren will, ein starres Pflichtenheft ohne Tests verabschiedet und eine kleine Agentur in Rekordzeit ein hochkritisches System auf Visual Basic liefern soll? 1992 ging das Notrufsystem des London Ambulance Service mit einem Big Bang Rollout live. Ohne vollwertige Schulung, ohne belastbare Lasttests und ohne echten Backup-Plan. Das Ergebnis: Fehldispatches, endlose Wartezeiten, Ausnahmezustand in der Leitstelle und ein technischer Kollaps durch ein simples Memory Leak.In dieser Episode sprechen wir über den gesamten Projektverlauf vom London Ambulance System Disaster: Von der Zettelwirtschaft mit Förderband über ein überambitioniertes Automatisierungsvorhaben, NIH-Syndrom in der Ausschreibung, unrealistische Deadlines und Budgets, fehlendes Projektmanagement sowie Quality Assurance. Wir beleuchten die Live-Inbetriebnahme im Oktober 1992, GPS- und Statusprobleme in den Ambulanzen, die Exception-Flut auf den Monitoren, das ungetestete Failover und die Folgen für Personal, Vertrauen und Öffentlichkeit.Wir ordnen das Desaster für die Tech Community ein und ziehen Parallelen zu heute: AI- und Cloud-Rollouts ohne Fallback, Fix-forward statt Rollback, End-to-End- und Lasttests mit realistischen Szenarien, SRE-Praktiken, soziotechnische Systeme, UX in kritischen Workflows und die ethische Verantwortung von Entwicklerinnen. Außerdem: moderne Beispiele wie die Boeing 737 Max und Pandemie-Apps, die zeigen, wie zeitlos diese Learnings sind.Bonus: Das Kernsystem lief auf Visual Basic unter Windows 3. Klingt retro, war aber alles andere als ein Retro-Game.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

As of Tuesday 25th November two deaths are believed to be related to the outage.
Spending on Australia's public hospitals has increased by an average of $3 billion every year in the past decade. Yet hospitals are still under strain. Ambulances are ramping outside emergency departments, waits for surgery are getting longer, and staff say they're burning out. And demand will only grow as Australians gets older and sicker. There's no doubt governments will have to spend more - but with ever more pressure on budgets, they're going to need to be smarter about spending. On this podcast, health experts Peter Breadon and Elizabeth Baldwin discuss their new report, Smarter spending: Getting better care for every hospital dollar, and how to fix hospital funding in Australia.

EUBANK JR & THE AMBULANCE | BUATSI-PARKER DECISION | FALL OF TANK | PEAK GGG Chris Eubank Jr is doubling down on claims that his ambulance was blocked after his gruelling win over Conor Benn. What are the implications of the new footage? Last weekend, Joshua Buatsi was called the winner over Zach Parker after a forgettable 10-rounder that reignited debate over the quality of judging in the UK. We wonder if the verdict was indeed that bad. In America, the collapse of Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis was something of a relief but the accusations aimed at Davis paint a deeply concerning picture. We look ahead to Vergil Ortiz taking on Erickson Lubin and back to 2013 when, in This Week, Gennadiy Golovkin systematically broke down Curtis Stevens.

Happy Halloween! For this episode of Necronomicast, it is my pleasure to welcome back former co-host Doug Kabourek! Doug joins me for a highly spirited conversation centering on his new album released just in time for the Halloween season "Black Walls & William Hall". A complex and incredible musical tribute to the famed Omaha haunted house attraction "Mystery Manor" which was closed and demolished in 2024 after 40 years of delivering fun filled fright to the citizens of Omaha. We will sharing the track "Ambulance" from the album! From music journalist Tim McMahan: "The epic new album Black Walls and William Hall by Fizzle Like a Flood, a.k.a. Doug Kabourek, is more than a collection of songs; it's the soundtrack to a horror-filled love story that has festered in Kabourek's psyche for more than a decade. A kaleidoscope of noise, sound, samples and screams swirl into and around the record's eight songs. The dense, layered production is sure to turn on fans of Flaming Lips' adventurous soundscapes, while the rock songs provide the riffage and melodies to satisfy any true Weezer, Sebadoh or Beach Boys fan. Headphones are a must to capture Kabourek's intricate, nuanced cacophony as well as to follow the narrative, which is nearly impossible without the lyric sheet printed on the album's sleeve (hopefully he'll be adding them to the Bandcamp liner notes). But with or without the words, the immersive audio experience is a hallucinatory thrill ride on par with the best haunted houses." Together, Doug and I will recount the years we enjoyed creeping around the halls of Mystery Manor and explore the inspiration, writing, and recording of his celebrated new musical masterpiece!

Bill Fanning is an Austin-based software leader turned hospitality-tech exec who's led revenue and sales across VC-backed, public, and PE-owned companies. After falling for the community-building power of restaurants and hotels, he brought his scale-with-discipline mindset to Stayntouch, a PMS for independent hotels and multi-property portfolios. Susan and Bill talk about tech rollouts without heartburn and career pivots with purpose. What You'll Learn About: • How different funding models shape company growth. • Why hotels and restaurants are the original social networks. • What drove Bill from social media into hospitality tech. • What it takes to roll out 140 hotels in 90 days. • Why culture change is harder than technology change. • Why listening beats talking in sales. • Why hospitality expertise matters in selling software. • How AI may reshape hotel tech—and where it falls short. • Why hotels resist new tech and how that's changing. • How hotel skills translate into careers beyond the industry. Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Hospitality as the Original Social Network Bill highlighted that long before digital platforms, restaurants and hotels served as true community builders—what he calls the “OG social media.” These spaces create authentic human connection, culture, and shared experiences in ways that digital networks can't replicate. His career shift from social media technology into hospitality tech reignited his passion for building community through real-world venues. 2. Sales Skills Are Transferable, but Domain Expertise Matters While strong sales fundamentals—communication, listening, negotiation—apply across industries, selling strategic hospitality software requires a deep understanding of hotel operations. Bill emphasized that hoteliers often underestimate the value of their own experience: running complex properties gives them an expertise that's far more difficult to teach than sales technique. He believes hospitality professionals can thrive in tech by pairing their domain knowledge with learned sales skills. 3. Tech Change Is About Culture, Not Just Software When hotels adopt new property management systems (PMS), the biggest hurdle isn't the technology itself but the cultural change required to embrace new processes. Intuitive design, hands-on training, and creating internal champions are key to adoption. Looking ahead, Bill predicts AI will accelerate tech development, but he cautions against replacing human support with bots too quickly—hospitality still depends on personal, human connection.
