Podcasts about Corridor

Send a textA five-hour wait in A&E with my toddler stripped away any illusions I had about emergency care. Corridor beds, exhausted staff, and a doctor arguing for babies to be seen before a sixty-year-old with a rash this is the UK's reality, where private healthcare won't fast-track an emergency and winter air feels like a petri dish. I share what we saw, what it did to me as a mum, and the blunt lesson it pressed into my bones: invest in your health before the system makes choices for you.From there we move to power, strategy and public backlash. Eni Aluko's criticism of men fronting women's football raises a valid point, but targeting Ian Wright the sport's most visible ally torpedoed the message. We unpack what went wrong and extract career-proof lessons: name systems, not saviours; choose timing and venue with intent; and remember that you can be right and still lose if you sound reactive. Brand is strategy in public protect it, or the audience closes the door you're trying to open.Then the BAFTAs aired the N-word at two Black presenters, unbleeped, while other phrases were censored. Tourette's explains involuntary tics; broadcasters still owe safeguarding to their audience and guests. Representation without protection is not inclusion. We break down accountability, why “they handled it professionally” is a trap, and how institutions reveal their values in what they choose to edit or not.Finally, a listener faces major fibroid surgery while debating resignation. I make the case for recovery first, decisions second. Use protected sick leave, keep your legal and financial footing, and plan your next move from a healed place, not a depleted one. If you're navigating A&E chaos, media noise, or workplace dilemmas, this episode offers clarity, strategy and a steady hand.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a clear plan, and leave a review so others can find us.

This is not a normal week. We are inside an eclipse corridor — between two eclipses — and what you choose now matters. In this episode, I break down the seed-planting energy, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and the breakthrough warrior current building toward Friday. — Creation IX enrollment closes Feb 23 at 5pm. If you're feeling this week as a choice-point between two worlds, details here — We're sandwiched between two soul-shaking eclipses: New Moon Eclipse (Feb 17) Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) What you choose this week… what you speak, release, align to, and walk toward… will ripple out for months, maybe lifetimes. Let's walk it consciously. Let's make this week count. Let's choose from soul. Below are your 5 core themes, 3 big astrology dates, journal prompts + ritual guidance to support your path this week. 5 Core Themes of the Week 1. Choice Point Between Two Worlds You're at a fork in the road. One path loops you into old conditioning. The other… breaks you into freedom, into the extraordinary. Ask: Which world am I feeding with my attention? 2. Breakthrough Energy: Into the New You This week is about shattering upper limits — ancestral, personal, societal. You're being invited to become truer than ever before. 3. Shock into Sovereignty There's a shake-up here — not to scare, but to liberate. This is about reclaiming your direct, sovereign relationship with the divine, outside of any tradition or lineage. 4. Seeding the Future Every word, choice, and step this week is a seed. The Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) wants you to plant embodied, grounded soul seeds — not for the old life, but for the one you're really here to live. 5. Mercury Retrograde: Soul Re-Visioning Begins On Feb 25, Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces. This is no ordinary retrograde — it’s an invitation to reimagine, reconnect, and realign with your spirit's dream, not your ego's plan. Key Dates to Watch Wednesday, Feb 25 — Mercury Retrograde Begins (Pisces) Expect dreamier, non-linear insight. Ritual idea: Sit in meditation or free-write to ask: What limiting story am I ready to dissolve? Thursday, Feb 26 — Sun Conjunct North Node (square Black Moon Lilith) Soul purpose spotlighted. Feminine truth cannot be denied. Prompt: What must I honor about my feminine soul path, even if it doesn't “make sense”? Friday, Feb 27 — Mars Square Uranus Breakthrough energy peaks. Expect action, activation, forward momentum. Ritual: Move your body. Dance. Take one bold action that says “Yes” to your new life. Journal Prompts Where am I planting seeds — in the old world or the new? What part of me is ready to awaken… even if it scares me? What state of being is my soul longing to live from? Where have I still been outsourcing my power? What would it look like to become the artist of my own life? Rituals for the Week Meditate with your future self — the one living your soul path. Speak your truth aloud each morning. Let the words shape your day. Light a candle on Wednesday (Mercury Rx) and offer up one story or belief that's ready to dissolve. Write a soul letter to yourself on Friday — what you're breaking into, not just out of. Feel the Call to Go Deeper?

What actually makes great deer habitat inside a timber stand? In this episode of the Design. Build. Hunt. podcast, we break down how forests naturally grow—and why doing nothing often leads to poor whitetail habitat. From old-field succession to closed-canopy hardwoods, we explain what happens over decades as sunlight disappears and understory browse fades. Then we walk through how Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) and Forest Stand Improvement (FSI) can reset your woods, create structure, improve bedding, influence travel corridors, and ultimately transfer sunlight energy into your buck's antlers. We cover: How forests change over time Why mature timber often becomes “park-like” and unproductive Bedding area cutting intensity (and why most landowners don't cut enough) Corridor creation and influencing deer movement Oak release and managing competition Hinge cutting, hack-and-squirt, girdle-and-spray When to cut—and when not to Whether to DIY or hire professionals If you want to turn sunlight into structure, browse, cover, and better hunts, this episode is for you.

The infiltration goes violently sideways as the crew stumbles into one of Outpost Argentum's deadliest internal defenses: a precision laser corridor designed to turn intruders into neatly sorted components. Trapped, divided, and under a rapidly adapting kill-grid, the team must think fast, move faster, and decide who's willing to risk dismemberment so the mission can continue. As the Doctrine's cold logic asserts itself, the crew is forced to confront the reality that this facility was never meant to be breached—only survived by those who understand how it thinks.

6,000+ #BVLOS flights. 50 miles of FAA-designated #UAS corridor. A 450-square-mile digital #airspace ecosystem. At Syracuse Airport, NUAIR proves that manned and unmanned aircraft can co-exist safely in one of the most complex airspaces in the US: “If someone's operating without remote ID in a critical area such as the terminal area of the airport, we can see their location, the hand controller and the drone — and tell local authorities that something needs to be done about it,” said John Gustafson, Director of Product Development and Technology at NUAIR. NUAIR isn't just visualising airspace; they're enforcing it. With radar-powered #surveillance, passive RF detection, and a fully cloud-based interface; they're making scalable, safe BVLOS #drone operations a reality in the US today. At CANSO's Airspace World 2025 in Lisbon, our Co-founder and CEO Eszter Kovács interviewed NUAIR's John Gustafson to explore how their FAA-approved infrastructure is redefining drone #commercialisation in New York State and beyond. Listen the full interview to learn how NUAIR is powering medical deliveries, military testing, and impactful #UTM services through a real-world drone corridor.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. It’s been a few weeks since I recorded a live episode, and here I am. Now, I don’t have any particular Gnostic insights for you today. However, I do have some interesting news to share and a very strange experience I had a couple of days ago. So, let’s start with the news. One of the reasons I don’t have a new episode for you this week, in particular a philosophical episode, is because I’ve been working on a stage play called A Midwife’s Trial. I wrote this play about 15 years ago, and I pulled it out of the drawer a couple weeks ago and decided to polish it and get it on its feet. I went with a friend to a little theater a few weeks ago, and they were putting on 12 Angry Men. Now, if you’ve never seen the movie 12 Angry Men, the original, there’s a newer movie, really bad, but the old classic movie starring Henry Fonda and 11 other very well-known actors of the black and white movie era—it’s a great movie. You should see it. It’s the story of the jurors in a deliberation room. They’ve just watched a trial, and they’re in the deliberation room. The entire movie or play takes place around the deliberation table, and they are the 12 Angry Men, the jury. My play is also a trial story, but it’s the trial side of it, so it makes like a nice bookend to 12 Angry Men. So, that’s why it reminded me to get my play back out and try it again. I had sent it around to play festivals and whatnot about 15 years ago. It made one final round, but didn’t win any prizes, so I put it away. It’s based upon my doctoral dissertation, The Trial of a California Midwife, and it is an enactment of actual trial testimony from a couple of midwives, an obstetrician, and then the two attorneys, one for the prosecution and one for the defense, and of course the judge. Those are all the characters. And then it cuts back and forth to a reenactment of this difficult birth that is the subject of the trial. So, it’s a very interesting play. I think it’s fascinating personally, and I’m hoping that audiences will too. I went ahead and contacted the creative director of the theater where I watched 12 Angry Men, and he says, yeah, sounds good. We’ll get you on the schedule for August. So, now it looks like I’m going to have a stage play staged in the town of Phoenix, Oregon. It’s between Ashland and Medford in southern Oregon. I’m going to produce and direct the play myself, which means that for the first time in my theater experience, I will have the power of casting, which is very exciting as well. Anyway, so that’s a little piece of exciting news for me, but it’s been taking up my mind and it’s been taking up my writing time. So, that’s my excuse for not having any new Gnostic Insights episodes for you. And if you live in the southern Oregon area or northern California, I do hope you will come and see the play. I’m also in the process of having the Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth children’s book turned into an animated video. That’s very exciting. I got together with a fellow on LinkedIn, and he’s done a great job of animating these still pictures that are in the children’s book. So, we’re in the final polishing stage of that also. That should be available before too long on YouTube or wherever I can figure out it should go. Logos Falls What I mainly want to tell you about today is a very strange experience I had this week, day before yesterday. In November, my insurance coverage changed, and my primary care provider was not going to be covered by the insurance company that I had been with. So, I had to look for a new primary care provider, and it just so happens I don’t live very far from the VA hospital in White City, Oregon. It used to be an Army base in World War II, and then they changed it into a Veterans Administration hospital. And, by the way, part of the reason I linked into them, is because I actually live in one of the barracks from White City. My historic home is two parts. Half of the house is an 1875 farmhouse. That’s a two-story farmhouse, and I rent out that part of the house as an Airbnb rental, and it can accommodate parties of six pretty easily. The other side of my house is a set of Army barracks that were stuck onto the farmhouse around 1949, after the war was over, and White City was disassembling itself as an Army base, and people bought the old barracks as scrap lumber. So, the man that lived in my house in the 1940s bought two Army barracks and stuck them on the side of this farmhouse, and I live in one of those Army barracks. The other barracks is the garage. I like living in the barracks. It’s a very nice space, very cabin-y feeling, built in the 1930s, all local wood. So, I signed up with the VA to be my primary care physicians, and I have to tell you, very nice people. I’ve been to a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a primary care person there at the VA over the last couple of months. All three of them from other countries. That’s kind of funny to me. From Bulgaria, from Sri Lanka, and I didn’t even ask where the acupuncturist is from, but he sounds Eastern European. Very nice people and very competent care providers. Well, anyway, back to the weird part of the story. Day before yesterday, I went out to White City, my first appointment with their chiropractor. The VA hospital complex there, is made up of old two-story brick buildings. I think they probably replaced what must have been earlier wooden buildings when World War II was going on, and so these are really boring-looking boxes of brick buildings, two-story boxes, and they’re all right near each other and connected by corridors or breezeways. My appointment was in the upper floor of building 209, but you enter through the lower floor of 201, and there are like eight buildings you’ve got to get through to get to 209, and they’re all connected. That’s the way you get to building 209. The parking lot’s in front of building 201. So, I had brought a book with me, a library book, a very good library book that I’m enjoying reading that my brother Bill had recommended. He’s loving it. It’s called Culpability, and it’s about a car crash and who was at fault. Very well written and philosophical at the same time, and it includes AI and all kinds of stuff, self-driving automobiles and whatnot. So, I wanted to bring the book with me to read in the waiting room. Not that I’ve ever had to wait, because here’s the peculiar thing about this VA facility that I’ve been going to—I seem to be the only patient. It’s like I’m in one of those Reddit spaces called Mall World or Liminal Spaces, if any of you have ever been into any of those types of Reddit discussion groups, because there’s hardly any patients. Then the only people I see as I’m walking, and it takes, honestly, it takes about 20 minutes or a half hour to get from where I walk in to get back there to the chiropractor’s office. Maybe I saw three patients in all of that time. Corridor after corridor after corridor with empty waiting rooms, and the only people you see is glancing into office rooms, on the right and left, where people are working at their computers on whatever the heck they’re working on, because I never see patients there. It’s very strange. So, that in itself is very much like this place called Liminal Space or Mall World on Reddit. Anyway, I had brought my dog. He was waiting for me in the car. He’s a small dog, and so he has basically a high chair set up in the passenger seat, and he sits there to be able to see out the window as we drive along. Well, I know he likes to get in the driver’s seat and lay down when I’m doing errands and out of the car, so I set my book down on the roof of the car and straightened out a towel on the driver’s seat, and then I went into the building. Now, I lost the book somewhere. It’s a library book. I lost a library book. I don’t know if I left it on the roof of the car or if somewhere between 201 and 209. I did use a ladies room, and it had a couple of stalls in there, and it had a window with windowsill. I didn’t want to leave my purse out there on the windowsill, but I didn’t mind leaving the library book on the windowsill, so I took the purse into the stall with me, and then I came out. And by the time I got to the chiropractor’s office—of course, I was the only patient there—I didn’t have the book anymore. At first I thought I’d left it on the roof of the car when I was straightening the towel for the dog, so I said to the corpsman who was helping the chiropractor, oh darn, I left my book on the roof of the car. I hope nobody steals it. When the appointment was over and I made my long way back to the car, there was no book on the roof of the car, so either someone had stolen it, I figured, or I had left it in the bathroom on the windowsill instead. I wasn’t sure whether I left it on… I know I set it on the roof of the car, but perhaps I picked it up and took it into the bathroom. So I went back into the building and attempted to retrace my steps between 201 and 209 to look for, first, the stairwell I had taken—and that’s another thing that figures in these liminal spaces stories–stairwells. The stairwell I had taken from the first floor to the second floor in one of those buildings, I don’t know which one, had yellow daisies. It was a yellow flower motif painted on the stairwell walls. All of the stairwells have different motifs. So I was looking for the yellow stairwell that I took to the second floor and I couldn’t find it. So I went back and forth all this time looking for that yellow stairwell, couldn’t find it, and I’m passing through these empty hallways, and when I say there were very few patients, the weird thing about White City VA, of course, is that it seems that most of the patients that I’ve seen there are Vietnam or Korean veterans because they’re very elderly and usually in wheelchairs or walkers. I myself am not a spring chicken, but I can walk pretty good. Well, anyway, so that’s the other weird thing about it. The only people you see are elderly. So I’m looking for the yellow stairwell. I can’t find it, and I opened all those doors. I could not find the right ladies room, either, and I, of course, didn’t see the book. So I spent probably an hour and a half combing the hallways of 201-209 looking for a stairwell I couldn’t find and looking for a restroom I couldn’t find and looking for this book that I lost. But here’s the weird thing about the whole experience—I mean, I spent all this time—it was just like a dream. I do have a repetitive dream where I’m searching for something that I can’t find. So I thought to myself, oh my god, this is just like my dream, only it was for real. And it’s true. I couldn’t find it. Here’s how I would characterize it: I lost an object day before yesterday in a very confusing place in a room that I could not locate accessed by a stairwell that apparently doesn’t exist. So that was one weird experience. I wanted to share that with you for some reason. I figured, oh no, this is really going to trigger my dream, but I haven’t had that dream in the last two days. I just had the actual experience. If this prompts anything in you, please share it with us. I’d love to hear back from you. God bless us all, and onward and upward.

I wrote this play about 15 years ago, and I pulled it out of the drawer a couple weeks ago and decided to polish it and get it on its feet. I went with a friend to a little theater a few weeks ago, and they were putting on 12 Angry Men. Now, if you’ve never seen the movie 12 Angry Men, the original, there’s a newer movie, really bad, but the old classic movie starring Henry Fonda and 11 other very well-known actors of the black and white movie era—it’s a great movie. You should see it. It’s the story of the jurors in a deliberation room. They’ve just watched a trial, and they’re in the deliberation room. The entire movie or play takes place around the deliberation table, and they are the 12 Angry Men, the jury. My play is also a trial story, but it’s the trial side of it, so it makes like a nice bookend to 12 Angry Men. So, that’s why it reminded me to get my play back out and try it again. I had sent it around to play festivals and whatnot about 15 years ago. It made one final round, but didn’t win any prizes, so I put it away. It’s based upon my doctoral dissertation, The Trial of a California Midwife, and it is an enactment of actual trial testimony from a couple of midwives, an obstetrician, and then the two attorneys, one for the prosecution and one for the defense, and of course the judge. Those are all the characters. And then it cuts back and forth to a reenactment of this difficult birth that is the subject of the trial. So, it’s a very interesting play. I think it’s fascinating personally, and I’m hoping that audiences will too. I went ahead and contacted the creative director of the theater where I watched 12 Angry Men, and he says, yeah, sounds good. We’ll get you on the schedule for August. So, now it looks like I’m going to have a stage play staged in the town of Phoenix, Oregon. It’s between Ashland and Medford in southern Oregon. I’m going to produce and direct the play myself, which means that for the first time in my theater experience, I will have the power of casting, which is very exciting as well. Anyway, so that’s a little piece of exciting news for me, but it’s been taking up my mind and it’s been taking up my writing time. So, that’s my excuse for not having any new Gnostic Insights episodes for you. And if you live in the southern Oregon area or northern California, I do hope you will come and see the play. I’m also in the process of having the Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth children’s book turned into an animated video. That’s very exciting. I got together with a fellow on LinkedIn, and he’s done a great job of animating these still pictures that are in the children’s book. So, we’re in the final polishing stage of that also. That should be available before too long on YouTube or wherever I can figure out it should go. Logos Falls What I mainly want to tell you about today is a very strange experience I had this week, day before yesterday. In November, my insurance coverage changed, and my primary care provider was not going to be covered by the insurance company that I had been with. So, I had to look for a new primary care provider, and it just so happens I don’t live very far from the VA hospital in White City, Oregon. It used to be an Army base in World War II, and then they changed it into a Veterans Administration hospital. And, by the way, part of the reason I linked into them, is because I actually live in one of the barracks from White City. My historic home is two parts. Half of the house is an 1875 farmhouse. That’s a two-story farmhouse, and I rent out that part of the house as an Airbnb rental, and it can accommodate parties of six pretty easily. The other side of my house is a set of Army barracks that were stuck onto the farmhouse around 1949, after the war was over, and White City was disassembling itself as an Army base, and people bought the old barracks as scrap lumber. So, the man that lived in my house in the 1940s bought two Army barracks and stuck them on the side of this farmhouse, and I live in one of those Army barracks. The other barracks is the garage. I like living in the barracks. It’s a very nice space, very cabin-y feeling, built in the 1930s, all local wood. So, I signed up with the VA to be my primary care physicians, and I have to tell you, very nice people. I’ve been to a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a primary care person there at the VA over the last couple of months. All three of them from other countries. That’s kind of funny to me. From Bulgaria, from Sri Lanka, and I didn’t even ask where the acupuncturist is from, but he sounds Eastern European. Very nice people and very competent care providers. Well, anyway, back to the weird part of the story. Day before yesterday, I went out to White City, my first appointment with their chiropractor. The VA hospital complex there, is made up of old two-story brick buildings. I think they probably replaced what must have been earlier wooden buildings when World War II was going on, and so these are really boring-looking boxes of brick buildings, two-story boxes, and they’re all right near each other and connected by corridors or breezeways. My appointment was in the upper floor of building 209, but you enter through the lower floor of 201, and there are like eight buildings you’ve got to get through to get to 209, and they’re all connected. That’s the way you get to building 209. The parking lot’s in front of building 201. So, I had brought a book with me, a library book, a very good library book that I’m enjoying reading that my brother Bill had recommended. He’s loving it. It’s called Culpability, and it’s about a car crash and who was at fault. Very well written and philosophical at the same time, and it includes AI and all kinds of stuff, self-driving automobiles and whatnot. So, I wanted to bring the book with me to read in the waiting room. Not that I’ve ever had to wait, because here’s the peculiar thing about this VA facility that I’ve been going to—I seem to be the only patient. It’s like I’m in one of those Reddit spaces called Mall World or Liminal Spaces, if any of you have ever been into any of those types of Reddit discussion groups, because there’s hardly any patients. Then the only people I see as I’m walking, and it takes, honestly, it takes about 20 minutes or a half hour to get from where I walk in to get back there to the chiropractor’s office. Maybe I saw three patients in all of that time. Corridor after corridor after corridor with empty waiting rooms, and the only people you see is glancing into office rooms, on the right and left, where people are working at their computers on whatever the heck they’re working on, because I never see patients there. It’s very strange. So, that in itself is very much like this place called Liminal Space or Mall World on Reddit. Anyway, I had brought my dog. He was waiting for me in the car. He’s a small dog, and so he has basically a high chair set up in the passenger seat, and he sits there to be able to see out the window as we drive along. Well, I know he likes to get in the driver’s seat and lay down when I’m doing errands and out of the car, so I set my book down on the roof of the car and straightened out a towel on the driver’s seat, and then I went into the building. Now, I lost the book somewhere. It’s a library book. I lost a library book. I don’t know if I left it on the roof of the car or if somewhere between 201 and 209. I did use a ladies room, and it had a couple of stalls in there, and it had a window with windowsill. I didn’t want to leave my purse out there on the windowsill, but I didn’t mind leaving the library book on the windowsill, so I took the purse into the stall with me, and then I came out. And by the time I got to the chiropractor’s office—of course, I was the only patient there—I didn’t have the book anymore. At first I thought I’d left it on the roof of the car when I was straightening the towel for the dog, so I said to the corpsman who was helping the chiropractor, oh darn, I left my book on the roof of the car. I hope nobody steals it. When the appointment was over and I made my long way back to the car, there was no book on the roof of the car, so either someone had stolen it, I figured, or I had left it in the bathroom on the windowsill instead. I wasn’t sure whether I left it on… I know I set it on the roof of the car, but perhaps I picked it up and took it into the bathroom. So I went back into the building and attempted to retrace my steps between 201 and 209 to look for, first, the stairwell I had taken—and that’s another thing that figures in these liminal spaces stories–stairwells. The stairwell I had taken from the first floor to the second floor in one of those buildings, I don’t know which one, had yellow daisies. It was a yellow flower motif painted on the stairwell walls. All of the stairwells have different motifs. So I was looking for the yellow stairwell that I took to the second floor and I couldn’t find it. So I went back and forth all this time looking for that yellow stairwell, couldn’t find it, and I’m passing through these empty hallways, and when I say there were very few patients, the weird thing about White City VA, of course, is that it seems that most of the patients that I’ve seen there are Vietnam or Korean veterans because they’re very elderly and usually in wheelchairs or walkers. I myself am not a spring chicken, but I can walk pretty good. Well, anyway, so that’s the other weird thing about it. The only people you see are elderly. So I’m looking for the yellow stairwell. I can’t find it, and I opened all those doors. I could not find the right ladies room, either, and I, of course, didn’t see the book. So I spent probably an hour and a half combing the hallways of 201-209 looking for a stairwell I couldn’t find and looking for a restroom I couldn’t find and looking for this book that I lost. But here’s the weird thing about the whole experience—I mean, I spent all this time—it was just like a dream. I do have a repetitive dream where I’m searching for something that I can’t find. So I thought to myself, oh my god, this is just like my dream, only it was for real. And it’s true. I couldn’t find it. Here’s how I would characterize it: I lost an object day before yesterday in a very confusing place in a room that I could not locate accessed by a stairwell that apparently doesn’t exist. So that was one weird experience. I wanted to share that with you for some reason. I figured, oh no, this is really going to trigger my dream, but I haven’t had that dream in the last two days. I just had the actual experience. If this prompts anything in you, please share it with us. I’d love to hear back from you. God bless us all, and onward and upward.

"Should we be giving blood transfusions to patients with traumatic cardiac arrest?" EMJ editor Prof. Richard Body and associate editor Dr. Sarah Edwards talk through some original research on the value of blood transfusions in this difficult situation. Next is the new UNCORKED study from the Trainee Emergency Research Network (TERN), with some sobering statistics on the prevalence of emergency care carried out in non-standard treatment places across the UK. Then we move to a world of high-pressure injuries, often caused by industrial spraying equipment, where things on the surface aren't quite as they seem. The last paper returns to the theme of cardiac arrests, examining the predictive value of end-tidal CO2 usage. Read the highlights: Primary survey: The association of blood transfusion and sustained return of spontaneous circulation in blunt traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest Understanding corridor and escalation area care in 165 UK emergency departments: a multicentre cross-sectional snapshot study Recognising high-pressure injection injuries to the hand: a practice review with guidance for emergency physicians Prognostic accuracy of end-tidal carbon dioxide in cardiac arrest: a systematic review and meta-analysis The EMJ podcast is hosted by: Prof. Richard Body, EMJ Editor-in-Chief, University of Manchester, UK (@richardbody) Dr. Sarah Edwards, EMJ Senior Associate Editor and Social Media Editor, Royal Derby Hospital, UK (@drsarahedwards) You can subscribe to the EMJ podcast on all podcast platforms to get the latest podcast every month.

A Conversation About Infrastructure, Innovation, and Community Input The Shenandoah Valley's roadways are undergoing a massive transformation. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Ken Slack, Communications Specialist for VDOT's Staunton District, to discuss the ambitious construction projects reshaping how residents travel through the region. What emerged was a fascinating look at the complex planning, engineering challenges, and community collaboration required to modernize aging infrastructure. Tackling the 81 Corridor's Toughest Stretch The conversation began with one of the most challenging sections of Interstate 81: the Strasburg corridor between exits 296 and 300. This area stands out as one of the few places along the entire interstate—from the West Virginia line to Tennessee—that features a left-hand exit for southbound traffic. Ken explains that this unusual configuration, combined with the junction of two major interstates, creates significant safety and congestion issues. Currently, the project sits at approximately 25-30% completion, with about a year of construction already completed and two and a half years remaining. The scope involves widening four miles of interstate from two lanes to three in each direction, while simultaneously addressing critical infrastructure needs. Workers are replacing the southbound bridge over Cedar Creek at the Warren-Shenandoah County line and widening the southbound bridge over the CSX railway. However, bridge work presents unique challenges. As Ken points out, VDOT could build bridges much faster if they could simply close them to traffic. Instead, contractors must maintain two lanes in each direction during peak hours, relegating most construction work to nighttime and overnight hours. This careful choreography ensures traffic keeps flowing while progress continues beneath the surface. The Science Behind the Projects VDOT doesn't randomly select improvement projects based on complaint volume or accident counts. Instead, the agency relies on comprehensive data analysis and community engagement. The 2018 Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Program study exemplifies this approach. Throughout that year, VDOT collected extensive traffic data, examining crash rates, crash severity, backup frequency, and person-hours of delay—what Ken jokingly calls "VDOT nerdism." Moreover, the agency conducted multiple public input sessions during spring, summer, and fall. These meetings served a dual purpose: presenting data-driven hotspot maps while gathering firsthand experiences from daily commuters and long-haul truckers. This collaborative approach identified 65 initial projects ranging from small-scale improvements like extending acceleration ramps to major widening initiatives now underway in Strasburg, Harrisonburg, and Winchester. Importantly, VDOT's planning doesn't stop with current projects. A 2025 study has already identified the next round of priorities, ensuring continuous improvement rather than simply completing the current list and moving on. Front Royal's South Street Gets Attention Meanwhile, in Front Royal, VDOT is addressing traffic flow issues along South Street near the Royal Plaza Shopping Center. The problem area centers on the intersection where Commerce Avenue meets South Street, particularly affecting drivers who turn right from Route 340 onto South Street and immediately need to turn left into the shopping center. The limited space creates backups that extend toward the main intersection, prompting VDOT to explore solutions. Should the entrance move to the next intersection? Can the current configuration be modified to improve safety and reduce congestion? These questions drove VDOT to hold a public hearing on January 14th at the Front Royal library. Ken emphasizes that VDOT brings plans that look good on paper but remain open to revision based on community feedback. Several dozen residents attended the meeting, expressing support for some elements while raising concerns about others. This input proves invaluable, as local residents often identify issues that traffic studies conducted on specific days might miss—like Janet's example of the radio station's Camping for Hunger event, which creates unique traffic patterns. Furthermore, VDOT must coordinate with property owners whose businesses depend on customer access. Changes to South Street directly impact how patrons reach the Royal Plaza Shopping Center, making collaboration with property owners essential to the project's success. A Bridge Too Big to Ignore Perhaps the most ambitious project on the horizon involves replacing the bridge over Interstate 81 near Winchester, where Millwood Avenue curves toward its intersection with Route 522. This aging structure, which has stood for at least 50 years, currently spans seven lanes. The replacement will accommodate nine lanes, creating what Ken describes as an "enormous" structure. The project actually combines two separate initiatives: improvements within Winchester city limits and the bridge replacement itself. VDOT assumed responsibility for both projects to ensure coordination and prevent conflicting work zones. By building the new bridge slightly to the north, contractors can maintain traffic flow during construction rather than narrowing the roadway to one lane in each direction—a scenario Ken jokes would have residents "running away from the pitchforks." This bridge exemplifies a broader challenge facing Interstate 81. Since most of the corridor was constructed between the late 1950s and 1960s, numerous bridges now range from 50 to 70 years old. While VDOT's vigorous maintenance program extends their lifespan, every bridge eventually requires replacement or significant rehabilitation. The agency evaluates each structure individually, determining whether full replacement or widening with superstructure rehabilitation makes more sense. Weather, Incentives, and Reality Construction timelines must account for weather impacts, particularly during multi-year projects spanning several winters. Ken acknowledges that major snowstorms or tropical systems can shut down work for a week or more. Nevertheless, VDOT has refined its contract documents over decades to accurately predict workable days throughout the year. Additionally, the agency builds incentives into contracts, particularly for projects with significant traffic impacts. The recently completed Rockland Road bridge project demonstrates this approach's success. The contractor finished ahead of schedule, earning maximum incentive payments. Ken notes that VDOT happily writes these checks because early completion benefits the entire community. Conversely, contracts also include penalties for late completion, creating a balanced system that motivates timely project delivery while accounting for legitimate weather delays. Keeping the Public Informed Throughout the conversation, Janet praised VDOT's website, which maintains detailed project pages for dozens of active initiatives. These pages track projects from early design stages through construction completion, providing timelines, cost projections, public hearing information, and opportunities for feedback. Ken explains that his team dedicates considerable effort to keeping these pages current. Residents can easily find relevant projects by searching "VDOT projects" and selecting the Staunton District, which covers Warren, Frederick, and surrounding counties. The site even includes construction photos showing progress over time. Janet shared her own experience using the website to research the Winchester bridge project after noticing construction activity. Within minutes, she found comprehensive information about plans and timelines, allowing her to plan alternative routes during future construction phases. Your Voice Matters Beyond the website, VDOT operates a 24/7 customer service center staffed by real people who typically answer within seconds. Ken dispels common misconceptions about endless hold times or automated systems. When residents report potholes, sight distance issues, or other concerns, the center generates work orders requiring action from appropriate teams. While not every reported issue results in immediate fixes—some investigations reveal no problem or explain why certain actions aren't feasible—every request receives attention and follow-up. VDOT even contacts property owners when vegetation or structures impede sight distance or extend into the right-of-way, working collaboratively to find solutions that ensure everyone's safety. Looking Ahead As the conversation concluded, both Janet and Ken acknowledged the uncertainty of winter weather—they were recording on a Tuesday afternoon with potential snow in the forecast for the following days. Yet this uncertainty mirrors the broader challenge of infrastructure improvement: balancing immediate needs with long-term planning, maintaining traffic flow during construction, and incorporating community input into data-driven decisions. The projects discussed represent just a fraction of VDOT's ongoing work across the Shenandoah Valley. From the complex Interstate 81 widening near Strasburg to the South Street improvements in Front Royal and the massive bridge replacement near Winchester, these initiatives share common threads: careful planning, public engagement, and commitment to improving safety and reducing congestion. For Valley residents, these projects mean temporary inconvenience in exchange for long-term benefits. The key lies in staying informed through VDOT's project pages, participating in public hearings, and understanding that today's construction zones become tomorrow's safer, more efficient roadways. As Ken reminds listeners, VDOT isn't just completing a checklist—they're continuously identifying and addressing the next generation of infrastructure needs, ensuring the Valley's roads serve the community for decades to come.

In this episode, we talk playoff fever as the Seahawks face the 49ers, swap New Year “ins and outs,” and break down this year's Girl Scout cookie lineup — including a brand-new flavor you're going to want to try. We also recap a busy week at Kent City Council, where Mayor Dana Ralph was sworn in for another four-year term, CM Sharn Shoker began her first term on Council, CM Toni Troutner was re-elected, and CM Satwinder Kaur was reappointed as Council President. Plus, we cover a new guardrail project, Spring Kent 101 enrollment, and how to check out what's being built around town with BuildKentWA.com. Mayor Ralph joins us in studio to walk through Kent's 2026 legislative priorities, from protecting funding for the 224th Corridor to advocating for workforce development, and smart investments that support Kent residents and businesses during this fast-moving 60-day session in Olympia. We wrap things up with what's happening around town including Kent Parks Family Night Out, Gadan at the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center, and a surprisingly fascinating “Did You Know?” about Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano. All that, plus plenty of local insight, laughs, and things you'll actually want on your calendar — welcome to Season 4 of KentNow.

Guest: Gregory Copley. Iran's collapse could dismantle the "International North-South Transport Corridor," a vital trade route for Russia and India. Copley argues that the Iranian public is increasingly secular, with the youth rejecting clerical authority. While the regime may fire remaining missiles in desperation, a post-clerical Iran could ignite Central Asian economic potential.

THE BATTLE FOR RAFAH AND THE FUTURE OF HAMAS Colleague Seth Frantzman. The discussion focuses on the strategic importance of Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egyptian border, identified as the primary artery for Hamas's weapons smuggling. Frantzman argues that Israel must control this border to prevent Hamas from rearming, noting Egypt's failure to secure the area effectively. Regarding Hamas leadership, Frantzman speculates that Yahya Sinwar remains in Khan Yunis, refusing to leave his hometown. While Hamas's organized battalions have been significantly degraded, Frantzman warns that without a comprehensive political strategy, the group could transition back to an insurgency, similar to the Viet Cong.

For years, residents in Dubois County have pushed back on a multi-billion dollar proposal to connect I-64 and I-69 known as the Mid-States Corridor. Much of their ire has been focused at one of the project's biggest supporters, Governor Mike Braun. The backlash has been so intense, a recent poll showed a shocking 62 percent of Dubois County residents (Braun's home county) disapprove of the job he is doing. Now, questions about the Mid-States Corridor are coming to the Statehouse, as politicians are beginning to question the massive price tag while INDOT is scrapping hundreds of other projects. Is the Mid-States Corridor Braun's newest long-lasting headache? Rob, Abdul, and Jim Merritt discuss on Statehouse Happenings. (1/7/26)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A recent poll stated that 62 percent of residents disapproved of the job Mike Braun is doing in his home county. Why are Dubois County residents so unhappy with the governor? Jason McCoy of the Property Rights Alliance believes it is because of Braun's long-standing support for the Mid-States Corridor, a stretch of road to help connect I-64 to I-69. The multi-billion dollar project would potentially displace many residents, disrupt land usage, destroy character of the area and cause environmental concerns. What's more? McCoy believes Braun's support centers around how the Mid-States Corridor could help his business and make him a fortune. McCoy sat down with Rob Kendall to discuss.
