The mother of a disabled child who spent much of her short life in hospital, is calling for more support for the carers of severely disabled children. And a disability advocate says in the 40 years she has been working with families, she has never seen carers so battered and bruised. Three-and-a-half year old Lauren Malcolm-Swindells died two years ago. Her mother Rachel Malcolm-Swindells says there were times when she was desperate for support and having to fight for help when she was already exhausted, took an enormous toll on her health. In an essay published today, Rachel outlines her journey. Rachel and disability advocate Colleen Brown join Mihi to discuss the support carers need.

Companies are facing more attacks on their information systems. And, as their cyber risk skyrockets, the SEC has stepped in with new regulations, telling businesses what to disclose about these incidents — and requiring detailed disclosures on cyber risk management more broadly. With the deadline for compliance fast approaching, businesses are scrambling to mitigate their legal risk and comply with regulations that some say may be an overreach.Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm's thought leaders on these issues — Sonia Barros and Colleen Brown. Sonia is a partner in Sidley's Capital Markets group and co-leader of the firm's Public Companies practice.

One of our missions here at the rancho Cordova film office is to organize and put on the California Capital Documentary Film Festival that this year takes place on Saturday, September 29 and Sunday October 1. The film festival screens over 50 films at three screening locations over the two days. This will be the second year of the festival and this year is shaping up to be a great event. The main screening location is at Rancho Cordova City Hall where we turn the City Council Chambers into a movie theatre. We bring in a giant screen and state of the art projection and sound system. The second screen is also at Rancho Cordova City Hall in the American River Room and the third is at the new RC Youth Center where they also have state of the art screening facilities. Over the past 2-3 weeks we have been talking to film makers whose films we are screening. On this week's episode I'm delighted to be speaking with Colleen Brown the Director of JOE 238. JOE238 deals with the sudden death of Sacramento Police Officer Joe Chairez who collapsed while making an arrest, he was rushed to UC Davis Medical Center where tragically he died of a brain aneurism. Joe had always made it clear that if anything happened to him he wanted all his organs donated. JOE238 looks at who Joe was, his untimely death and his father's, Jess Chairez quest to keep Joe's memory alive and to bring light and awareness to organ donation and how important that is. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to Coleen about her film and I think you will enjoy hearing this story.

When he was awarded the 2021 Polaris Music Prize, Cadence Weapon spoke from the heart; giving a long, loving shout-out to his home town and province: Edmonton, Alberta. Rollie Pemberton a/k/a/ Cadence Weapon always been passionately proud of his roots. His family, his community, his hometown helped make him the renowned, respected creator he is today.

Plus, we'll be hearing from the ultimate expert speaker on this topic... Cadence Weapon's mom, Michelle Miles!
