Podcasts about Commission

Trump signs an executive order creating the first ever Presidential Military Spouse Commission, chaired by Jennifer Hegseth, and the ceremony turns into a genuinely touching series of stories from spouses who've spent decades supporting the military through moves, deployments, and everything in between. Then the press conference pivots hard, covering active back channel talks with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz and denuclearization, a candid take on record breaking oil company profits, and a lengthy, fairly heated defense of the National Mall's reflecting pool restoration after vandalism accusations landed on Jeanine Pirro's desk. There's also a proud rundown of Washington D.C.'s transformation, from crime statistics to monument restorations, a jab at European energy policy and windmills, and a scattering of questions on baseball trades, the NCAA, and a Congressman's resignation controversy. It's equal parts ceremony, geopolitics, and free wheeling press Q&A, with Trump covering an unusually wide spread of topics even for him.

If you've opened X, switched on the TV or listened to the news over the past few weeks, chances are you've heard about the Madlanga Commission. Today we are giving you a 101 update for those of you who know ZERO about it...The commission was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa after explosive allegations by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who claimed there had been political interference, corruption and criminal infiltration within South Africa's police, intelligence and justice systems. The inquiry, chaired by retired Constitutional Court Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, is now tasked with getting to the bottom of those claims. Let's start with One of the biggest questions that's come up is: Why was the Political Killings Task Team shut down? One of Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's biggest claims is that the Political Killings Task Team was shut down because it was getting too close to exposing powerful criminal syndicates and the people allegedly protecting them. He told the commission the unit was delivering results not failing and believes its disestablishment was meant to derail sensitive investigations. That's now one of the key issues the commission is trying to determine. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Two prosecution bosses down, and counting. The Madlanga Commission has just claimed its second casualty, and a leaked recording shows exactly how bad it got. Meanwhile fresh polling suggests the ANC is about to lose over 500 council seats, Interpol has crowned South Africa the ransomware capital of the continent, and the FSCA has landed a R2.8 billion fine on the company behind those Elon Musk deepfake ads, the same scam BizNews first exposed. On the markets side, Nedbank, Telkom and Stor-Age all moved today, Lewis Group looks like a Buffett-style bargain hiding in plain sight, and Amazon just delivered one of the biggest single day gains in its history. Andy Jassy explains, in his own words, exactly why.

« Des scènes de chaos, au moins 72 morts et des dizaines de disparus. Ce qui s'est passé ces derniers jours à Ceuta, enclave espagnole bordant le Maroc, est révoltant à plus d'un titre, s'exclame Le Temps à Genève. L'afflux de dizaines de milliers de migrants, en quelques heures, a provoqué interrogations et inquiétudes. Il a surtout déclenché une surenchère politique, nourrie de récupérations, de fake news véhiculées par les réseaux sociaux et de mauvaise foi. Une fois encore, les migrants se retrouvent instrumentalisés et réduits au rang d'arme politique et de moyen de pression diplomatique. » Une surenchère alimentée par « la droite dure européenne, pointe le quotidien suisse, qui a aussitôt agité le spectre d'une "invasion". L'Italie de Meloni s'est empressée de réclamer l'exclusion de l'Espagne de l'espace Schengen, imitée par d'autres responsables politiques. La France a aussi donné dans le registre de la peur, en renforçant ses contrôles aux frontières. » Désespoir… Indignité… « Les partis de droite et d'extrême droite européens n'attendaient que ça, fulmine Libération à Paris : on les a vus arriver avec leurs gros sabots, s'emparant des images d'afflux de migrants à Ceuta jeudi et vendredi, et les instrumentalisant avant que quiconque n'ait eu le temps d'analyser ce qui se passait. En France, le patron du RN, Jordan Bardella, a évoqué "une submersion sans précédent" quand la Première ministre italienne, Giorgia Meloni, réclamait des "mesures extraordinaires" pour défendre les frontières de l'Europe. Si la situation n'était aussi tragique, cela prêterait à sourire, soupire Libération, d'autant que ces migrants sont tous repartis ou presque quand ils ont compris qu'ils avaient été manipulés. Mais personne n'a envie de sourire devant le désespoir de ces jeunes Marocains, devant la centaine de corps rejetés par la mer, et devant l'indignité de ces dirigeants européens qui ont réagi de manière populiste et électoraliste et non humaine et solidaire. Leur premier réflexe, dénonce encore Libération, aurait dû être de voler au secours de l'Espagne ou de s'apitoyer sur la mort de ces exilés volontaires, ados pour beaucoup, qui cherchaient à gagner ce qu'ils croyaient être le paradis. » « La crise de Ceuta a ainsi été le révélateur d'un réflexe d'instrumentalisation et de division, résume Le Monde, là où la gravité et la réalité de la question de l'immigration exigeraient au contraire solidarité et unité. » « Quelque chose a été cassé » En tout cas, cette « crise de Ceuta révèle une fracture européenne », relève Le Soir à Bruxelles. Et « devrait laisser des séquelles importantes, notamment vis-à-vis de la confiance que se portent les États membres de l'Union européenne. Quelque chose a été cassé, à en croire la lettre envoyée par le Premier ministre espagnol Pedro Sánchez à la présidente de la Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Il y exprime sa "profonde inquiétude" au vu des réactions de ses homologues. Dans ce courrier diffusé samedi, le socialiste dénonce le "très faible soutien" de la part des États membres ainsi que les attaques qu'a essuyées l'Espagne et les appels pour son exclusion temporaire de l'espace de libre circulation Schengen. » Réunion sous tension… C'est dans ce contexte tendu que les ministres de l'Intérieur des membres de l'Union européenne doivent se réunir demain mardi. Et « les divergences s'accentuent », pointe Le Figaro. « Vingt-deux États membres de l'Union européenne ont uni leurs voix dans une coalition hétéroclite, emmenée par Giorgia Meloni et par la sociale-démocrate danoise Mette Frederiksen, coalition qui exige "une réponse européenne immédiate et coordonnée". (…) Parmi les propositions les plus radicales figure (donc) la suspension temporaire de l'Espagne de l'espace Schengen. » Et « Rome entend profiter de cette réunion d'urgence pour remettre (notamment) une proposition sur la table : celle d'un réseau européen de "hubs de retour", des centres de rétention installés dans des pays tiers. Une approche que la France avait déjà torpillée lors du dernier sommet européen. »

"When people with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] get quite avoidant—and that can be expressed in so many different ways—the implications can be really profound. I think an important invitation to oncologists and oncology nurses and primary care providers who care for people battling cancer is let's explore what's underneath these avoidant behaviors. Is it a very practical thing? Or is it that underneath this avoidant behavior is really profound fear?" James C. Jackson, PsyD, research professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about addressing medical trauma in oncology.

They may not avoid the annual evaluation that is so hugely consequential—they might not avoid that. But they may well avoid a routine visit for a checkup to their oncologist. They very well may avoid a visit with a psychologist who is wanting them to talk about hard things. They may avoid visiting a friend in the hospital because it reminds them of really upsetting things. So, this issue of adherence and compliance is a really big problem." TS 3:19 "Screening tools for things like PTSD can be very useful. They're quite practical, and they're appropriate to use. I really like something called the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. ... Using it is going to be very straightforward. You're going to want to map it onto a 30-day window, and you're going to employ it with patients. It's a 20-item self-report. It assesses 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. It's not diagnostic, but if people score in this range of 30, 31, 33, we typically are going to believe that that is very suggestive of significant PTSD." TS 9:17 "One of the things we should be doing all the time is modeling and attempting to normalize this idea of being open about mental health difficulties. When I say modeling, this is a complicated issue. ... I'm very open talking about my own battles with mental health. And in some ways, that invites my patients to do the same. I don't recommend necessarily that a nurse says, 'Oh, by the way, I have PTSD. I'm going to tell you about mine. I want you to tell me about yours.' That's a boundary issue. But I think it does behoove us as clinicians to create a culture as much as we're able, where we can talk about mental health difficulties in a matter-of-fact way, acknowledging that mental health is health. These tools, to me, go a long way in that direction." TS 13:41 "The survivorship process is ongoing. I think a nurse can assist a patient in so many ways longitudinally over time. ... One of those ways is to continue checking on mental health outcomes in patients. Continuing to check on mental health outcomes, continuing to explore them, and continuing to invite patients to talk about things that other people might not be asking about. It's easy for family members to assume, 'Hey, you know, you're cancer free now. You look fine, so you must be fine.' It's very possible that the patients we're talking about are not fine. They're far from fine. For that oncology nurse at a follow-up clinic or in an oncology setting to talk about this, continuing to affirm that it would be okay for patients to struggle, continuing to put this issue on a front burner—I think that's really important." TS 21:17 "I'm aware of nurse-led support groups where nurses can talk very freely about their own challenges, in a safe space. ... Working to build cultures in the context of the intensive care unit, let's say, where we have a lot of patients with cancer that prioritize well-being nurse driven programs. ...  The bottom line is if there is a warning light that is blinking, nurses need to attend to that. And in attending to it, they're going to be more present for their patient. They're going to be better able to support their patient. They're going to be better able to support each other. And I think often, in the culture of nursing and psychology, too, people just put their head down, their shoulder down, and they just plow through in ways that are really counter to their mental health." TS 29:56 "The truth is medical trauma can be well-managed. It's not simple. It's not always intuitive. There are all sorts of caveats with regard to this, but the truth is people with medical trauma can live really rich and meaningful lives. ... So, the default setting, I think, should be not one of pessimism. It should be that people with medical trauma can and do get better. If you are a patient with medical trauma and you are in my purview, until proven differently, I'm going to assume that you can get better too." TS 36:28

Près de 6 millions d'hectares ont déjà brûlé cette année en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. De l'Espagne au Canada, en passant par la France et les États-Unis, les feux de forêt gagnent en fréquence et en intensité, alimentés par les vagues de chaleur et les sécheresses prolongées.« Les feux de forêt sont à la fois une conséquence et un facteur du changement climatique », explique Tabatha Aller, de la Division des forêts de la Commission économique des Nations Unies pour l'Europe (CEE-ONU). Dans cet audio, elle revient sur une saison d'incendies particulièrement destructrice, ses conséquences pour les populations, la biodiversité et la qualité de l'air, ainsi que sur le cercle vicieux qui lie réchauffement climatique et feux de forêt. Elle souligne également pourquoi la prévention, la préparation et une gestion durable des forêts sont essentielles pour réduire les risques et renforcer la résilience face à un climat en pleine mutation. Propos recueillis par Alpha Diallo pour ONU Info.

The Public Service Commissioner's defending a probe into controversial ads, that cost much more than the ads did. In October, the Commission paid 426 dollars and 32 cents to to boost ads on social media, opposing mass strike action. An external probe, costing roughly 60-thousand dollars, found the Commission didn't breach neutrality standards, but risked the perception of that. Sir Brian Roche told Ryan Bridge the report provided clarity. He says he felt compelled to correct the narrative from some unions - and says he'd do this again if needed, but with more thought.

After nearly 30 years in public service, Dawn Pinnock stepped into an entirely new sector as president and CEO of the Center for Urban Community Services, and had to rebuild something she had spent decades earning: her professional relationships. In this episode, she and Laura break down what it takes to recalibrate how you connect when you are deeply established in one world and starting fresh in another. Dawn shares the exact process she used, taking honest stock of her track record, gathering candid feedback from longtime supporters and even former opponents, and turning those themes into a story she could lead with. It is a masterclass for anyone pivoting, by choice or by layoff, who worries the social capital they built no longer counts. In this episode: Why being "known but not networked" is a real distinction, and how to translate a strong reputation into new rooms Dawn's first-90-days playbook: honest self-assessment, feedback focus groups, and positioning yourself as a learner who still brings value How the relationships you build internally with your team become the springboard for the ones you build outside About Dawn Dawn M.

A UN commission reported last year that Israel had “committed genocide against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip,” arguing that Israeli military operations caused unprecedented harm to children. The report cites Hamas‑run casualty figures claiming 20,000 children killed and 44,000 injured since October 7, 2023, along with allegations of torture, disappearances, and sexual violence against minors in detention.Israel rejects the report entirely, calling it defamatory and biased. Officials say the IDF consistently tries to minimize harm to children, pointing to medical access, vaccinations, and field hospitals. Israel also refused to cooperate with the Commission, arguing it would not receive fair or non‑discriminatory treatment, meaning the report was produced without Israeli input or access to Gaza.Independent critics raise methodological objections. UN Watch, a Geneva‑based NGO, argues the Commission relies heavily on uncorroborated witness statements, draws conclusions about intent without forensic evidence, and devotes disproportionate attention to Israeli actions while giving little space to Hamas's attacks. They also note that casualty numbers come from Hamas‑run health agencies, not independent verification, and that the Commission's terminology—such as “settler violence”—generalizes all Israeli residents of the West Bank based on extremist minorities.Some commentators challenge the genocide framing itself. One argument, quoted in the Jerusalem Post, claims that even Hamas's own figures—20,000 child deaths, roughly 1.7% of Gaza's child population—do not meet the threshold for genocide. Others say the report provides no specific evidence of deliberate targeting of children.Earlier critiques of the Commission were even sharper, accusing it of relying on anonymous testimonies, ignoring Hamas's October 7 attacks, and producing reports in which more than 90% of the content condemns Israel. Some commentators describe the genocide accusation as a form of “blaming the victim,” comparing it to historical blood libels and framing it as part of a propaganda war against Israel.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/koinonia-bijbelstudie-live--595091/support.

Passenger rail in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama doesn't get the spotlight often, but the story behind Amtrak's new Mardi Gras service proves how much demand has been waiting on the sidelines. We sit down with Knox Ross, chairman of the Southern Rail Commission, to unpack how a three-state compact built the coalition, the funding path, and the political momentum needed to bring New Orleans to Mobile passenger trains back to the Gulf Coast after years of false starts.We get into what the Southern Rail Commission actually does day to day: stitching together state DOTs, local leaders, congressional champions, Amtrak, and freight rail operators who own the tracks. Knox explains why launching a new passenger route can feel like “almost a miracle,” from changing governors to local supermajority votes, and why persistence matters as much as any technical plan. We also talk candidly about the freight railroad reality: dispatching conflicts, liability concerns, capacity constraints, and why infrastructure upgrades like longer sidings can be the key to making passenger rail coexist with freight.If you enjoy smart, realistic conversations about passenger rail in the United States, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review with the corridor you want to see connected next.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

World anti-doping bosses have told Kiwi sports officials to take a harder line on New Zealand's elite athletes in order to keep sport drug-free. Montreal-based World Anti-Doping Agency officials travelled to Auckland in late September 2025 for its first full review of New Zealand's anti-doping regime. The audit found multiple errors in New Zealand's anti-doping practices, including the nation's failure to keep track of some athletes in the elite Registered Testing Pool, meaning detailed and updated whereabouts information wasn't on-hand for no-notice drug testing. Sport Integrity Commission CEO Rebecca Rolls says this information is useful, and New Zealand can learn from the feedback. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why does evangelism feel so difficult, and how can Christians grow in boldness when sharing the gospel? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explains that evangelism is not merely a method, personality type, or awkward religious duty, but the joyful proclamation of the good news that Jesus Christ reconciles sinners to God. Tracing God's missionary heart from Abraham to Israel, from the Gospels to the Great Commission, Cory encourages believers to trust the power of God's Word, pray for boldness, and begin with the lost people already around them.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Pour la plupart des Européens, voyager en Turquie ne nécessite aucun visa. Pour les Turcs, en revanche, il est devenu très compliqué d'obtenir le précieux sésame pour l'espace Schengen. Près de 1,3 million d'entre eux ont fait une demande en 2025. Délais interminables, rendez-vous introuvables, demandes en hausse et refus de plus en plus fréquents : la « crise des visas », comme la qualifie la presse turque, nourrit un sentiment de frustration.  De notre correspondante à Ankara, À Ankara, sur un boulevard de la capitale turque, un bâtiment vitré voit sortir Mehmet Kaan, tout sourire. Il brandit son passeport, un visa pour la Lituanie fraîchement collé à l'intérieur. Cela n'a pas été simple : en deux ans, ce Turc dit avoir essuyé des refus de visas de cinq États européens. « Le motif, c'était qu'ils doutaient que je rentre en Turquie après mon voyage. Là je suis heureux, mais cela a été tellement long et fatigant que je n'en profite pas totalement. Enfin, ça y est, je l'ai », s'exclame-t-il. La façade de verre abrite une entreprise chargée de recueillir les demandes pour 18 des 29 États de l'espace Schengen. Dehors, Mustafa Ege, un badge autour du cou, attend. Depuis cinq ans, il aide des Turcs à préparer leur dossier ; un service qu'il facture 250 euros en moyenne. Selon lui, ses clients cherchent à mettre toutes les chances de leur côté, tant les refus ont augmenté. « C'est en partie dû à la forte hausse du nombre de demandes, mais aussi à des procédures plus strictes. Les consulats demandent beaucoup plus de justificatifs qu'avant. Par exemple, ils regardent de près l'historique des voyages. Si vous demandez un premier visa sans avoir jamais voyagé, je dirais que vous avez 60% de chances de réussite. Ils ont trop peur que vous demandiez l'asile chez eux », explique-t-il. « Un processus un peu démoralisant » Selon les données de la Commission européenne, le taux de refus pour les demandes de visas déposées en Turquie est passé d'un peu moins de 10% en 2019 à 14,6% en 2025. Par comparaison, seules 4% des dossiers émanant de Chine, premier demandeur devant la Turquie, ont été refusés. Ce phénomène s'explique par plusieurs facteurs interdépendants : la hausse des demandes de visas depuis la Turquie – +38% en six ans -, l'augmentation des demandes d'asile de citoyens turcs dans l'Union européenne, et la dégradation de la situation économique en Turquie. La chute du pouvoir d'achat, due à une très forte inflation, et la dépréciation de la livre turque par rapport à l'euro rendent les dossiers turcs moins solides, poussant les consulats à être plus pointilleux. Cela crée beaucoup de frustrations. « Regardez mon dossier ! Il fait quoi, 100 pages », lance Sedef en montrant les documents préparés pour obtenir un visa. « Oh plus, je pense ! », répond sa fille Halide. Toutes deux espèrent décrocher un visa pour dix jours de vacances au Danemark. « Le processus est un peu démoralisant. Il y a 20-25 ans, on voyageait beaucoup plus facilement. C'est éprouvant pour les Turcs comme nous qui travaillons et aimons notre pays, et qui voulons juste prendre un peu de vacances en Europe de temps en temps », déplore Sedef. Aux conditions plus strictes s'ajoutent des rendez-vous devenus presque introuvables pour certains États de l'espace Schengen. La raison ? La prolifération d'intermédiaires qui utilisent des programmes informatiques pour accaparer les créneaux et les revendre ensuite. Entre les frais de l'agence de conseils et le coût du visa, Sedef estime avoir déboursé l'équivalent de 460 euros, avant même de savoir si son visa sera accordé. Désormais, elle attend la réponse du Danemark. « D'ici deux mois », lui a-t-on dit. À lire aussiLa Turquie demande d'intégrer les structures européennes de défense, malgré les réticences de l'UE

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Pastor Ed teaches us the importance of abiding in Christ. John 15:1-111 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. 9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. 11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.Psalms 119:105105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.Galatians 5:22-2322 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.Matthew 6:3333 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.Proverb3:5-65 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.Isaiah 40:3131 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.1 John 1:8-108 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Living longer with HIV is one of medicine's greatest success stories, but longevity brings new challenges. By 2040, more than half of all people living with HIV are expected to be over the age of 50, and their health pathways during ageing are very heterogeneous. What does that mean for patients, clinicians, and health systems worldwide? Are our health systems ready for this shift in the HIV ageing demographics? In this episode, Amy Justice and Keri Althoff discuss The Lancet HIV Commission on Ageing and HIV: A global perspective, exploring why the future of HIV care must shift beyond viral suppression toward healthy ageing, integrated care, and what matters most to people living with HIV.

With Sir William Penn's passing in 1671, and his deathbed admonition that his son stay true to himself, young William Penn was both financially independent and liberated from worrying that his own activism on behalf of the Quakers would hurt his family.  William now owned lands that generated income of around 2000 pounds a year, or roughly the wages of 100 laborers of the time. Penn was a pious son of privilege who used his social, material, and intellectual advantages to advance his family's business interests and the interests of Quakers, both as individuals and as a religious community.  He would get tossed in jail at least once more for his religion, and he would use that time writing defenses of the Quakers and their theology that irritated the established church and its supporters to no end. By the second half of the 1670s he had written more than fifty books and pamphlets on religion and political theory, most of which would vex the English elites in general and local authorities in specific cases. And, yet, by 1681 Penn would persuade King Charles II and his brother, James, Duke of York, to give him, as sole proprietor, an area of 34 million acres, the last land on the eastern seaboard of North America controlled by England.

Private events may be the most overlooked revenue stream in hospitality. In Episode 222 of On The Delo, Delo sits down with Samia Kohler, Founder of Event Sphere Solutions and creator of SPHERE, to explore how restaurants, bars, hotels, wineries, breweries, and event venues can unlock significant revenue through smarter private event sales. From 18 years in hospitality across France, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and now Phoenix, Samia breaks down how the right system can turn any space with four walls, food, and beverage into a revenue machine.This conversation goes deep on the difference between chasing tables and building an experience, why so many restaurants leave event revenue on the table, and how Samia built her own software after finding no CRM truly made for hospitality. She shares how her clients have seen a 189% increase in event sales, how the platform buys back 20+ hours a week, and how she built AI directly into the system so even a busy GM can capture leads around the clock without losing the human touch. If you run a restaurant, bar, or hospitality group and want a smarter way to grow revenue, this episode is packed with real, usable perspective.Chapter Guide (Timestamps)(0:00 - 2:06) Welcome and Meeting Samia Kohler(2:06 - 6:02) Hospitality Around the World: France, Shanghai, and Hong Kong(6:02 - 11:48) How She Got Into Hospitality and the Private Event Sales Gap(11:48 - 15:54) Building Event Sphere Solutions and Learning the Tech(15:54 - 21:05) How It Works: Pricing, Commission, and a 189% Sales Lift(21:05 - 26:11) Ideal Clients and Buying Back 20+ Hours a Week(26:11 - 29:15) AI in Hospitality: Sphere and Sphere Plus(29:15 - 33:27) Non-Negotiables and Scaling Beyond Arizona(33:27 - 38:15) Rapid Fire and Delo's Close

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

"In oncology specifically, where care is complex, artificial intelligence (AI) can really synthesize large volumes of clinical information, flag risks such as treatment complications, and support adherence to evidence-based pathways. For nurses specifically, this enables them more time for direct patient care, clinical judgment, and care coordination, and really practice to the top of their license while reducing repetitive time and administrative tasks," Jenn Frith, DNP, RN, OCN®, NE-BC, associate vice president of clinical operations at Duke Cancer Institute in Durham, NC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS. Weimer spoke with Frith and Emily Norboge, director of clinical and research informatics at Duke Cancer Institute, about how AI can help healthcare organizations improve the cancer experience.  Music Credit: "Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 0.5 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by July 24, 2027.

If a patient needs help with medical paperwork, the agent will walk the patient through how to do that paperwork. If a patient has a question that they need sent to their provider, it can document that and then send a message to the provider. There's a series of workflows so it can route to scheduling. It can answer information about test results that is compliant with our policy around test results. The goal of that agent is that it will handle all of those administrative-type tasks that don't necessarily require a nurse to fill." TS 5:44 Norboge: "When [patients] call the nurse triage line, the nurse will have to say, 'I understand you want your test results. I can contact your provider and have them reach out to you about your results.' But that's kind of where it ends. What we worked out with the agent is if a patient calls and says, 'I really want my test results,' they will in a very nice, standard way, say something similar. You know, 'I'm not authorized to discuss your test results with you, but I'd be happy to send a message to your provider and ask them to call you.' But then the agent goes one step further and says, 'Are you experiencing anxiety about your test results? If so, I can transfer you to the nurse to discuss support for a potential referral to family medical therapy if you would like help managing that anxiety.' In a clear, helpful way, it can define and help a patient with their needs and not just have a standard of 'this is our policy and I can't share it with you.'" TS 11:14 Frith: "Really, transparency is the key. The patient should understand that AI is used more as an enhancement, but not to replace the human connection. That's not the goal. The nurses can explain that the tools will help ensure accuracy, timeliness, and safety while allowing more time for the direct interaction of the nurse. I think framing AI as an additional layer of support rather than a decision maker helps build trust. And I think maintaining strong communication and presence at the bedside just reinforces that care remains fundamentally human." TS 15:32 Frith: "I think AI in oncology is going to continue to advance in our predictive analytics, personal care planning, and probably real-time decision support. I think we'll see a greater integration into symptom management, some early detection of complications, and longitudinal care coordination across our settings. I think nurses will continue to increasingly use AI to anticipate patient needs and prioritize care. I think the role of the nurse won't diminish. Rather, it will become more elevated in allowing them to practice to scope of practice." TS 19:58 Frith: "AI represents a meaningful opportunity to strengthen oncology nursing practice by reducing burden and enhancing the clinical insight. It needs to be a very thoughtful implementation. We talked about having strong governance and continued investment in the nursing workforce. I want to reinforce that oncology care remains deeply human, and AI should only be viewed as a tool that enables the nurses to do what they do best, which I feel is deliver safe, compassionate, and high-quality specialized care to our most vulnerable patients."

Andy BurnhamAs I conclude this column on Monday afternoon Andy Burnham is taking up his position as British Prime Minister. As I dispatch these lines he is addressing the media and supporters outside 10 Downing Street. I wish him well. I also hope he will be the last British Prime Minister to interfere in Irish affairs. Our ambition is for the people of Ireland to govern ourselves. As soon as possible. When that happens we will govern Ireland in the interests of Ireland. Mr Burnham, like every British PM governs in the interests of the English establishment. He like his predecessors is a Unionist. Let's work to ensure that he is the Prime Minister who ends the Union.‘Women's Voices, Hopes for a New Ireland'Féile an Phobail is the launch pad each year of exiting new projects, and especially new books. One such book this year is ‘Women's Voices, Hopes for a New Ireland.' The book is published by Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland and will launched at 1pm on 4th August in Áras Uí Chonghaile by Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald TD.The book is compiled and edited by Grace McDermott and Aoife Ferguson and is an innovative collection of contributions from 62 women across Ireland and the diaspora sharing their hopes for the future and a new Ireland.The women are drawn from all sections of society. They are writers, actors, musicians, community workers, political activists, health workers. They include Protestant voices. This book is a mixture of written contributions, poetry, song lyrics and artwork. They reflect the experiences of these women to partition and a society that has often held them down, treated them as second-class citizens and pushed them to the margins of history.The book is being launched at this years' Féile an Phobail. The launch will be ion 4th August in Áras Uí Chonghaile on 4 August.

Could not have a shower or bath. Wash clothes. Prepare food. Make tea or coffee whenever you want. Fill a water container for storage  in the fridge for a cold drink. Have a fridge?That is the reality of life for almost two million women and children and men living in the Gaza Strip. Israel's genocidal policies has resulted in the deliberate and targeted destruction of water, sanitation and hygiene systems (in Gaza. It has created a humanitarian catastrophe. This is especially true for women who are pregnant or are menstruating. According to a recent Oxfam report, women cannot get the water they need to keep clean and hydrated.It reports that the extensive damage to water networks, treatment facilities, and sewage systems “has crushed water production, so it is a fraction of pre-October 2023 levels.” In addition, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has revealed that Gaza's water production has dropped to less than a quarter of what it was three years ago and that 89% of water plants and sewage facilities “have been destroyed or partially damaged.”For a family in the west it's a simple matter to turn the water tap on to access all you need. In Gaza average daily use of water per person has dropped from the minimum humanitarian standard of 15 litres per day to around three litres.Rubber Bullet injures Marwan BarghoutiRegular readers will know that I have written recently on several occasions about the imprisonment and torture of Palestinian prisoner Marwan Barghouti. Marwan, now aged 67, has been held in Israeli prisons for 24 years after a widely criticised show trial in 2002. He is a senior leader in Fatah and is viewed by Palestinians as their Nelson Mandela.Over the years he has endured significant brutality but the most recent occurred in Ganot prison several weeks ago when a prison guard entered his cell and shot him in the leg with a rubber bullet. During the decades of conflict in the North rubber and plastic bullets were frequently used by the RUC and British Army. They were an attempt to terrorise citizens. Seventeen people were killed by rubber and plastic bullets. Eight of these were children and all but one was from nationalist areas.However, the Israeli rubber bullets are of a significantly different design to those used here. Israel's rubber bullets are “steel covered with a thin rubber coat.” They cause more fatalities and life changing injuries.Marwan's son Arab Barghouti, said the family only learned about the incident from his father's lawyer and that Barghouti had not received medical treatment for the injury. Two weeks ago the Arab League called for an international commission of inquiry into what it said were "repeated assaults" on Barghouti. So support freedom for Marwan Barghouti. Log on to https://freemarwan.org/Methodism and the Peace Process‘From Feakle to the Falls and Derry's Wall - Methodism and the Peace Process, 1985-2025 by David Gallagher is an important book and a significant contribution to the discussion on peace-making in Ireland.David has been a member of the Methodist Church in Ireland's Council on Social Responsibility since 1986. He was the Northern Executive's Lay Secretary from 1990 to 2003. His book is a detailed and critical assessment of the role of Methodism and I'm still reading it.I have a firm belief that all of us have a story to tell. My personal focus has been on republicans and working class people telling our story but the truth is the right and the need to tell our own story belongs to everyone. And the Methodists have a story worth telling. So well done David Gallagher.David will be taking part in Féile an Phobail on 1pm on the 31st July in St. Mary's University College on the Falls Road. The book is available at An Fhuiseog 55 Bóthar na bhFál, BT12 4PD, https://anfhuiseog.ie/
