In this episode of the Behind the Knife Global Surgery Series, we take a closer look at the real-world complexity of global surgery partnerships between high-income institutions and partners in the Global South. Words like equity, bidirectionality, partnership, and decolonization are used often in global surgery—but what do they actually mean when funding, mobility, research access, publication opportunities, and institutional power are unequally distributed?Host Mike Mallah is joined by Dr. Hugo Stark from George Hospital in South Africa and Dr. Sydney Bertram from Emory for a candid discussion about the benefits and tensions of collaborations in an unequal world. Together, they explore how global surgery partnerships can create meaningful educational and clinical value, how good intentions can still reproduce unequal systems, and how surgeons can build partnerships that are locally useful, honest about power, and ultimately centered on better surgical care for patients.Hosts/Guests:- Mike M.

Wall Street bemoeit zich met de toekomst van Bitcoin: BlackRock, Coinbase en Michael Saylor lanceren het Bitcoin Security Consortium om developers te sponsoren, met quantum computing als eerste focus — en dat roept bij bitcoiners herinneringen op aan de beruchte New York Agreement uit 2017. Verder eist de bearmarkt eindelijk zijn slachtoffers: faillissementen bij BitMEX, Poolin en Storj, en ontslagrondes van 30% bij Bybit en Gemini. Ook schuift de behandeling van de Clarity Act opnieuw door, terwijl de odds op invoering in 2026 dalen naar 25%.

Produire des récoltes abondantes suppose d'apporter aux cultures les nutriments dont elles ont besoin. Aujourd'hui, ceux-ci proviennent encore en grande partie des engrais minéraux industriels. Mais la flambée de leurs prix, provoquée notamment par les tensions géopolitiques et la hausse du coût de l'énergie, a mis en lumière la dépendance de l'agriculture européenne à ces intrants. Comment réduire cette dépendance sans compromettre les récoltes ? Quelles alternatives peuvent compléter les engrais conventionnels ? Dans le 72e épisode de Nourrir l'Europe, nous explorons les défis auxquels sont confrontés les agriculteurs européens, mais aussi les solutions qui émergent pour construire un système agricole plus résilient. En Irlande, dans le comté de Clare, les agriculteurs Declan O'Dwyer et Fergal Smith témoignent des conséquences de cette crise et présentent deux réalités très différentes du terrain. Nous rencontrons également Jessica Fitch, secrétaire générale de l'ECOFI, le Consortium européen de l'industrie des engrais biosourcés, qui revient sur le potentiel de ces alternatives et les conditions nécessaires à leur développement. Enfin, Ionuţ Balaban, de la direction générale de l'agriculture et du développement rural de la Commission européenne, explique comment l'Union européenne entend renforcer la résilience du secteur et réduire sa dépendance aux engrais minéraux industriels.

Nine of the biggest names in finance put up $15 million between them. IBM alone is spending $10 billion.On July 23 the Bitcoin Security Consortium launched: BlackRock, Coinbase, Strategy, Block, Blockstream, Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, Fidelity Digital Assets and Galaxy, pledging $15 million over three years for post-quantum research. There is no pooled fund and no governance role over the protocol — every firm writes its own cheques, and Brink's Mike Schmidt coordinates the whole thing as an unpaid volunteer. Joey and Len take the obvious objection seriously and then take the other side seriously too, because that structure was built specifically to make capture harder, not easier.The number everyone will repeat is 6.9 million BTC — roughly $460 billion — sitting in address types a working quantum computer could empty. That's a Google Quantum AI estimate, and estimates vary widely: other researchers put the exposed share anywhere from 20% to 50% of supply. No such machine exists. Adam Back says decades. Project Eleven's CEO says 2029 worst case, 2033 base case.Then: Jack Mallers walks away from Twenty One Capital and the treasury model keeps coming apart — Satsuma liquidating all 668 BTC, Sequans down more than 80%, Strategy selling 3,588 coins to fund a dividend. And CertiK's numbers on physical attacks against holders, including Canada's own file.Plus Clown World North: a Vancouver council hearing took public comment from Los Angeles, Ottawa waived the reporting requirements on a $12.1 million grant that has produced zero excavations in five years, and Alberta pulled a 2.4-pound goldfish out of a stormwater pond.The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - New episodes weekly.X: https://x.com/CanadianBTCPodJoey: https://x.com/joeytweeetsLen: https://x.com/thebtcpricebotSite: https://canadianbitcoiners.com#Bitcoin #BitcoinSecurity #Quantum #Canada

Clinical work with clients at high risk for suicide can make providers feel they are on a conveyor belt. One reason for this is that, sadly, so many people are struggling with crises and safety concerns; the demand for services seems never-ending. But another reason is more insidious: the risk of provider burnout. On today's episode, Dr. Erin Frick shares her perspective from working as a clinician and educator in the field of suicide prevention. Listen in as she encourages us to remain hopeful and connected with the “humanness” behind the crises. And if you have thoughts about how to “redefine the ‘wins' “ in this work, share them with us.Erin Frick, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist and an Associate Director at the Consortium for Defense Psychology (CDP), located at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.. At CDP, Dr. Frick leads the VA-Safeguard Suicide Prevention Project, where her team works to identify and implement best practices for suicide prevention among special veteran populations by leveraging evidence-based psychotherapies and VA standards of care. She also leads the DoD Child Collaboratory, a team dedicated to researching and implementing training and best practices for utilizing telehealth and digital tools to enhance healthcare and support for military youth and families.Resources mentioned in this episode: Therapeutic Risk Management Tool, available on the Rocky Mountain MIRECC website: https://www.mirecc.va.gov/visn19/trm/The benefits of mindfulness for stress reduction: Ameli R, Sinaii N, West CP, Luna MJ, Panahi S, Zoosman M, Rusch HL, Berger A.

In this episode, hosts Drs. Jenna Ermold and Carin Lefkowitz sit down with clinical psychologist and national pain management expert Dr. Jennifer Murphy to dismantle the traditional, "find it, fix it" biomedical approach to chronic pain. Drawing from her extensive background, including five years as the National Director of Pain Management for the VA, Dr. Murphy highlights why addressing persistent pain is a critical piece of mental health advocacy, particularly for Veterans.The conversation explores the complex intersections of chronic pain with PTSD, sleep disturbances, and elevated suicide risk. While providers often feel ill-equipped to ask about pain, Dr. Murphy demystifies the treatment process, revealing that evidence-based protocols (like CBT for Chronic Pain) rely heavily on foundational behavioral health skills clinicians already possess.Because military-connected clients can often be more comfortable entering care to address physical versus behavioral health symptoms, treating a patient's pain can act as a pivotal therapeutic gateway to addressing trauma and PTSD down the road. Ultimately, validating a patient's lived experience is the first step toward restoring autonomy and opening the door to deeper clinical healing. There is no wrong door and the most important thing we can do as providers is keep as many of them open as possible.Did this episode spark your interest in expanding your chronic pain practice toolkit?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's AI Safety Consortium will now be called the NIST Artificial Intelligence Consortium, the agency said Friday, continuing a shift in approach to the technology under President Donald Trump. According to NIST's announcement, the renamed group will retain some of its previous work but will change its scope. The group is also seeking new member organizations to carry out its aims. Craig Burkhardt, deputy NIST director, said in a statement included in the release. “To encourage more extraordinary AI technological innovations, NIST is seeking to expand its AI measurement efforts by harnessing the broader community's interests and capabilities.” The decision comes about a year after the Trump administration changed the name of NIST's AI Safety Institute, pivoting away from “safety.” That organization, which was originally established under the Biden administration, is now called the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. It's also the first news about the consortium in some time. The consortium was established in 2024 alongside the AI Safety Institute as a venue for input from companies, universities, and other organizations on measurement standards for AI safety. NIST is in the headlines once more this week, but not for reasons it's going to be excited about. Department of Commerce inspector general report released Thursday found that the National Institute of Standards and Technology has mismanaged a critical cybersecurity vulnerability database through poor planning, inefficient operations, duplicate federal programs, and failure to communicate with users. The National Vulnerability Database, maintained by NIST since 2005, collects information about computer security flaws and adds details like severity ratings and affected products. This information helps cybersecurity professionals across government and the private sector decide which security problems to fix first. In February 2024, the database's enrichment contract lapsed, creating a backlog of unprocessed security flaws that has only grown worse. The report identified the lack of strategic planning as a core problem. NIST leaders admitted they had no long-term plan for clearing the backlog, even as it grew from about 13,000 unprocessed security flaws in June 2024 to over 27,000 by the end of 2025. NIST publicly promised in May 2024 that it would clear the backlog by September 2024, setting a goal of processing 6,200 security flaws per month, but the agency had never processed more than 5,000 per month in the past.

Also, as ballots have begun being sent out, Democratic Congress members warn of threats to voters rights. Then, come November, county voters could choose to raise the sales tax. And, your San Diego Padres announce new ownership.

Humanities Theory (Oxford UP, 2026) pioneers a new topic: the theory of the humanities. It is an urgent topic right now because the humanities face a suite of forceful new challenges and are in a period of significant change. For these reasons, it has become important to analyse and understand what the humanities are as a whole, beyond disciplinary divisions and yet without resorting to simplistic notions of their worth. Remarkably little attention has been paid to this topic. Most discussions of the humanities have been polemical if not defensive. This book argues that there exists a global humanities world which not only transcends disciplinary divisions but joins the professional academic humanities to a thriving amateur public humanities. This world has no essence, it is plural. Nevertheless, powerful, if contested, ethical orientations run through it and help shape it, including a will to truthfulness, a will to openness and generosity, a will to examine values.In their essays Simon During and Amanda Anderson each bring different emphases to their shared orientation towards a large plural humanities world:During analyses how key disciplines—sociology, philosophy and history—might be used to think about the humanities as a whole and, on this basis, offers some predictions of the future awaiting the humanities.Anderson analyzes media representations of the humanities and considers the general conceptual frameworks through which the humanities focus on value and proffer critique. She analyses a series of examples of contemporary critical engagements in the humanities to press a case for value pluralism in the humanities and the university more broadly. Amanda Anderson is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of English and Humanities and Director of the Cogut Institute for the Humanities at Brown University. She is the author, most recently, of Psyche and Ethos: Moral Life after Psychology (Oxford, 2018) and Bleak Liberalism (Chicago, 2016). She previously served as the Director of the School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell and serves on the advisory board of the international Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI). Simon During, educated in New Zealand and at Cambridge, has taught at the University of Melbourne and Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of pioneering work in post-colonialism, cultural studies, and the history of entertainment but in recent years has concentrated on thinking about literature and the humanities under their difficult contemporary conditions Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
