In this episode, we continue our deep dive into decision-making under pressure with Olly Sapsford, a Firefighter and Commander as well as a Lecturer in Disaster & Emergency Management at Coventry University.We explore the mental models, training, and strategies that support effective decision-making in extreme environments. How do emergency responders manage stress, maintain clarity, and strike the right balance between experience and instinct?Olly shares insights into leadership, teamwork, and the ethical dilemmas professionals face in high-stakes situations. From navigating risk and resource limitations to post-incident reflection, we examine how decision-making frameworks from firefighting can be applied in paramedicine—and vice versa.With a research focus on human factors, socio-cognitive influences, and fast decision-making, Olly sheds light on the role of intuition and expertise in high-pressure environments. Drawing from his talk at the College of Paramedics Emergency and Critical Care Conference, titled ‘From the Fireground: Demystifying Extreme Decision Making for Emergency Responders', Olly brings a fresh perspective on how responders can refine their approach to critical decision-making when every second counts.Join us as we unpack the strategies that can make the difference between a good decision and a great one in emergency settings.This podcast is sponsored by PAX.Whatever kind of challenge you have to face - with PAX backpacks you are well-prepared.

We catch up with Alexandra Negoita, lecturer at Coventry University specialised in environmental psychology, to discuss the possible benefits of gardening for our wider mental heath. Gardening insights with Alexandra Negoita Who are we speaking to, can you share a little bit about yourself? I'm Alexandra, lecturer at Coventry University and nature enthusiast. I'm an environmental research psychologist exploring how meaningful experiences with nature support both personal and planetary well-being. Is it a logical journey to what you do now? Absolutely. My PhD, which I'm currently preparing to submit, focuses on mindfulness, compassion for nature, and nature connection. I'm particularly interested in the feedback loops between our personal well-being and the health of the natural world. Gardening exemplifies this beautifully - it's an activity that promotes physical and mental health while encouraging deeper, more meaningful engagement with nature. It has often been said that gardening is good for you, is there new, more detailed information about why this is so, and how it helps us? There's growing evidence that gardening supports well-being in a unique and accessible way. Physically, it's adaptable - whether you're potting herbs on a windowsill or working an allotment, gardening offers movement at your own pace. It can be a light daily activity or a full-body workout, depending on your approach. As for mental health, where do I start? Gardening naturally brings about what I like to call organic mindfulness. It gently draws us into the present by engaging our senses - the feeling of soil between our fingers, the earthy scent of compost, the rustle of leaves in the breeze. This sensory experience quiets the mind and grounds us, offering calm and clarity. As we care for our plants, our attention shifts from daily worries to the living world in front of us. Watching a tiny seed grow into a vibrant flower or a fruit-bearing plant isn't just rewarding - it's deeply personal. These aren't just any sprouts; they're ours. And in nurturing them, we form an emotional bond. We're caring for life, knowing it depends on us to thrive. This relationship cultivates a sense of purpose, accomplishment, and connection. No wonder so many people proudly raise their green thumbs during National Gardening Week - it truly feeds the soul. Are any particular types of gardening better than others? Not necessarily. The key is in the personal meaning we attach to what we grow. Someone passionate about food might find joy and fulfilment in growing vegetables. Others might be more drawn to the beauty of flowers or the longevity of trees. The emotional and psychological benefits come from the act of nurturing life and witnessing growth, regardless of the plant type. As growing plants and gardening involves seeing something in a changing state, is this also part of the benefits for us as well as the plants? Great question! Very much so. Gardening reminds us of the natural cycles of change, growth, and decay. This understanding of impermanence - central to mindfulness - can be comforting. It helps us accept that change is natural and often necessary. At the same time, seeing something grow from seed to bloom or fruit reinforces a sense of connection, we form an attachment to the place or plants. When we attach some part of our well-being to it, when it becomes a place of solace for us, that's when the feedback loop starts. We innately protect what we care about, what is good for us. Because protecting it, tending to it, starts to feel as if we were taking care of ourselves. What a beautiful feelings it is to tend to your garden, isn't it?! When you mention gardening helping with social connections and loneliness, are you primarily talking about allotments and / or something else? Allotments certainly foster social bonds - bringing people together with a shared purpose naturally builds community. Especially for older adults, communal gardening can ease loneli...

Irene Horejs in conversation with Pavla Danisova, Jan Pospisil, Kholood Khair and Thomas ViereggeGEOPOLITICS AT THE HORN OF AFRICA – WHAT IMPLICATIONS FOR EUROPE? The Wider Horn of Africa comprises the multiethnic states of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya and Uganda, holds significant strategic importance for the European Union due to its geostrategic location on the Red Sea, ongoing security challenges and their impact on migration issues and on European economies.The ongoing conflicts in Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia/Eritrea destabilize the whole region and impact strongly also on Middle East and North African countries. These conflicts are fueled by external forces that support the different warring parties and their geopolitical dimension attracts global powers. While the influence of traditional powers (US and UK) is waning, China, Russia, and “emerging powers” like Turkey and the Gulf States have increased their engagement in the region.For Europe, the instability in the Horn of Africa presents urgent challenges, primarily related to trade, energy security, migration, the security of maritime routes and potential spillover effects in neighboring countries like Egypt. The most recent moves of President Trump to drastically cut support to UN bodies and to dismantle USAID will further exacerbate the humanitarian and displacement crisis, foster instability and weaken Western voice.What are the interests of Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Russia, China, Turkey in the region? What is the impact of US President Trump´s recent policy moves ? What is the EU's strategy, what can and should the EU do to secure EU interest in the region ?Welcome:Georg Lennkh, Austrian Special Envoy for Africa, Member of the Board, Kreisky ForumJan Pospisil, Associate Professor at the Centre for Peace and Security at Coventry University and co-investigator in the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform, University of EdinburghPavla Danisova, Head of Cabinet of the EU Special Representative for the Horn of Africa (online)Kholood Khair, founder and director of Confluence Advisory, a ‚think and do tank‘ founded in Khartoum, that works on three priority policy areas: peace and security, economy, and governance;(online)Thomas Vieregge Foreign desk (former Correspondent to Germany and the US), Die Presse Moderation:Irene Horejs, former EU Ambassador to Niger and Mali

In this episode of DanceCast, Silva interviews disabled dance artist and researcher Kate Marsh. Based in the UK, Kate shares her perspective as an assistant professor at Coventry University. She reflects on how the discourse on disability has evolved during her career, from breaking literal barriers to breaking attitudinal barriers, and yet how today's dance education landscape is experiencing economic cuts. She discusses her personal trajectory and how the pipeline she traversed is the epitome of a successful career in dance, and yet how so much of success in dance is based on luck, especially for those dancers with disabilities. She questions what institutions can learn from the bespoke training that disabled dancers have been giving themselves for a long time.Kate Marsh is a disabled dance artist and researcher with more than 20 years of experience in performing, teaching, making, and researching dance. Her interests are centered around perceptions of the body in the arts and notions of corporeal aesthetics. Specifically, she is interested in each of our lived experiences of our bodies, and how this does (or doesn't) inform our artistic practice. Her practice-research focuses on leadership in the context of dance and disability and draws strongly on the voices of artists to interrogate questions around notions of leadership, perceptions and the body. Kate's work is strongly fed by co-design and co-facilitation, where we all arrive into our practice from our own place and pace, and this informs the ways we work together, privileging all experiences and ways of being, and prioritizing a playful, accessible and generative environment.

Coventry University has begun work to reduce its carbon emissions and meet its net zero carbon target by 2030 by installing hundreds of new solar panels. The ambitious programme will see panels installed across campus alongside new efficient windows and a connection to the Coventry district energy network. Solar panels installed to hit net zero carbon target This network is formed of a 6.6km underground heat system that transports waste heat from the city's municipal incinerator to supply energy to major public buildings and, in doing so, has only one-sixth of the carbon emissions of natural gas. The university was awarded £13 million in Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme funding in February 2024 to make a significant step towards achieving this goal. Selina Fletcher, Head of Sustainability and Environment at Coventry University, said: "After much planning we can now start to see the results - we will immediately be able to see a carbon reduction as the solar panels start to generate energy and reduce our emissions. This is fantastic news for the university and showcases the first of many actions to put sustainability at the heart of what we do, benefiting our students, staff and the wider community." The grant will help Coventry University to reduce emissions from heating by a quarter as the university switches off gas boilers in exchange for the connection to the lower carbon district energy scheme. The university enlisted the help of consultant Baily Garner to collaborate with specialist contractor Geo Green Power on the installation of the solar panels, which have been successfully mounted on the Sir Frank Whittle and Charles Ward buildings, with plans to cover the roofs of The Hub and the Alma building in the new year. Nearly 800 panels will be installed across university buildings. In total these will be approximately the same scale as around 90 typical home solar arrays. This is only the start of the decarbonisation work at Coventry University - in May 2025 pipework will be put in place that will allow 11 of the university's city centre buildings to join the existing district energy scheme. The project is due to be completed in April 2026 and will is expected to save 95 tonnes in carbon reduction per year on campus once everything is installed as well as providing a real-life case study for students to see climate change mitigation in action. Coventry University is part of the city-wide Climate Change Board, and the new Climate Change Strategy can be found here. The University's full decarbonisation strategy can be viewed here.

The creation of a green oasis in the heart of the city on the site of two former Coventry University buildings has been recognised with two major sustainability awards. The Green Gown Award, in the category of Nature Positive, and the Green Flag Award for Best Climate Adaption, were both won earlier this month. Coventry University demolished the Alan Berry and James Starley buildings to make way for the Peace Garden opposite Coventry Cathedral and Starley Gardens on Cox Street, transforming the spine of the campus into a green space for people and wildlife to co-exist. The Green Flag prize is considered a 'best of the best' accolade as only projects to have won prestigious Green Flag Awards earlier in the year are open for consideration. It not only recognises the creation of a vibrant green space but also its impact in the fight against climate change. The Green Gown Awards recognise exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK and Ireland. Jamie Whitehouse, Grounds and Public Realm Manager at Coventry University said, "These are major awards for the university, as they demonstrate our commitment to creating a sustainable campus that transforms the grey to the green, which is welcoming to people and wildlife. "The awards recognise the hard work of the university Grounds team and the wider Estates team in creating an exciting, relaxing, and stimulating external environment in which to live, study or work." The gardens include wildflower meadows, biodiverse-friendly planting, tree planting, informal social spaces, and a prominent sculpture by local artist George Wagstaffe. The new greenspace on the former Alan Berry site provides new stunning views of the iconic Coventry Cathedral and interconnects from either side to an edible garden, which is open to all to harvest the fruit and vegetables, as well as providing nesting and food for pollinators such as bees, flies, and butterflies. Overall, it contributes to the university's vision to create pollinator hubs and corridors. The Environmental and Grounds Team works in collaboration with academic departments, such as the Centre of Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR), and Warwickshire Wildlife Trust to deliver events like bee walks and hedgehog talks for the campus community. Professor John Latham, CBE, Vice-Chancellor of Coventry University Group, said: "Winning these awards is a major achievement for the Group and a validation of our commitment to building a greener, more sustainable campus. "It underpins our ongoing dedication to working with local and global collaborators to tackle global sustainability challenges, address climate change, and create better futures for our communities." Coventry University is working hard to become net zero by 2030, a target being supported by a grant of almost £13million from the Department for Energy Security's Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. The environmental benefits of this transformation are far-reaching: Reduced carbon emissions - the demolition of the buildings has eliminated significant energy consumption and associated carbon emissions. Improved air quality - the new green spaces and gardens help to absorb pollutants and improve air quality. Reduced urban heat island effect - the green spaces and gardens help to cool the surrounding area of the university Enhanced biodiversity - the project has created new habitats for wildlife and increased biodiversity. Sustainable drainage - the green spaces help to manage rainwater runoff and reduce the risk of flooding. The project has won several other awards, including the DEFRA Bees' Needs Champions Award 2023 and Bronze and Silver Hedgehog Friendly Campus Awards, and has played host to several events for Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. The money will help towards the cost of installing around 1,300 new solar panels and connecting nine Coventry University buildings to the city's district energy network.

Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast
In an era dominated by fleeting trends, minimalism offers a refreshing counterpoint. This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella speaks to social scientist Dr. Amber Martin-Woodhead about the harmful effects of fast fashion and how minimalism has the potential to combat decades of overconsumption. Specializing in sustainable consumption, Dr. Amber Martin-Woodhead is an assistant professor in human geography at Coventry University. Her current research focuses on sustainable fashion and lifestyle minimalism, and she is currently penning a book on the sustainable potential of minimalism. On top of that, she takes an interest in circular fashion economies, researching fashion brands that specialize in repurposing post-consumer waste to make garments and accessories. In this episode, Dr. Amber Martin-Woodhead reveals that the fashion industry contributes more to climate change than the aviation and shipping industries combined. She then outlines the fundamental principles of minimalism, asserting that adopting it as a lifestyle often leads to improved well-being and time savings. Together, Marie and Dr. Amber Martin-Woodhead weigh up various habits that prove effective in maintaining a minimalist wardrobe and discuss the potential future of sustainable fashion, with minimalism taking shape amongst consumers. So, tune in this week for an invigorating conversation about redefining fashion with a ‘less is more' approach.

Welcome back to the Soft Rebellion Podcast. I feel so excited, touched and moved sharing this conversation with you during which I felt like I am arriving in every moment, from anew, and deeper. Thank you, Lizzy. Skinner Releasing Technique is a somatic dance practice and in this episode you will learn how rich of a container and wholly immersive this practice is to come home to your body, find healing and give voice to your very own version of … the Soft Rebellion. Today's guest is Lizzy Le Quesne, a dance artist and teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique. Together we explored her journey from continuously burning herself out and experiencing performance anxiety and how finding Skinner Releasing Technique gave her permission to sense and play again, falling back in love with dance and keep performing. This conversation is a deep dive into the power of rest and an exploration of what happens when we rest in a new way so to find effortless effort, spontaneity, creativity, embodied presence and arrive in our physical volume with soft strength. The big take home message for me was so simple, pragmatic, and so bloody hard namely to allow my body to do what she wants to do most, always, and fully trust that voice, always. In this conversation we explored: - What Skinner Releasing Technique is. Lizzy shared how this `wholly immersive experience` allows you to become present without anticipation, surrender to being moved and get in touch with that `deep unconscious self` …- Lizzy`s story and the path which led her to Skinner Releasing Technique. After many `crashes and burn outs` and immense performance anxiety - Lizzy thought she would stop performing at all - Skinner Releasing Technique was a game-changer, a catalyst and an embodied exploration of what healing might be and how healing might feel like … - We spoke a lot about transitions and transitioning, the fall and rise in energy, that is always happening and not always easy to lean into and navigate … Lizzy shared how Skinner Releasing Technique supported her to transition in movement and in daily life too, we spoke about the transitioning body and the cyclical body and how to harvest the power of transitions to grow an ever-deeper sensory vocabulary. And a bit more about Lizzy:Lizzy Le Quesne is a dance artist and certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT). Trained in dance, fine art and several somatic practices, Lizzy works with spatial and kinaesthetic awareness, sourcing embodied freedoms and understanding the physical and energetic self as a vital presence in our world. Her creative practice embraces dance, site, text and photography for different kinds of historical, political and cultural spaces. She teaches professional dancers and dance students internationally, as well as in arts and health in the community. Lizzy writes widely on dance, art, embodiment and somatics in academic and non-academic formats and she has authored chapters in various books including ‘Skinner Releasing Technique - A Movement and Dance Practice' (2021). She produced the first study on SRT and the autonomic nervous system, analysing how SRT supports optimal function of the ANS, and is currently near completion of a practice-based PhD at Coventry University on SRT, somatic dance and processes of embodied becoming.

Final results are in and are devastating for US Democrats. Republicans not only won the White House but they also regained control of the Senate and held on to the House achieving the government trifecta. In the end, Donald Trump won the election by only 2 percentage points but looking at the electoral map it certainly doesn't look like that. The US map has been swept by a red wave as Trump succeeded in winning in all seven battleground states. Democrats have spent the last week enwrapped in a blame game starting with the US President himself. Would things have been different if Biden had stepped down earlier? Was Kamala set up for failure as she was given only 100 days to make her bid for President? In today's episode, we are bringing you a collection of reactions to Trump's victory from all over Europe. We talked to people from Romania, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK at last week's event from Friends of Europe State of Europe. What you will hear in today's episode are fresh reactions to the results of the US elections as these all took place less than 24 hours after the results were announced. What stands out is a unified call for Europe to rise to the occasion. You will hear from Ciarán Devane, Executive Director of the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations and Trustee of Friends of Europe, Ahmed Abdirahman, Founder & CEO of Järvaveckan and 2024 European Young Leader (EYL40), Anders Storgaard, Member of the Frederiksberg City Council and 2024 European Young Leader (EYL40), Karien van Gennip, former Dutch Minister of Social Affairs and Employment, Simina Tulbure, Member of the Chamber of Deputies of Romania, Gregg Jones, Regional Managing Director of the Brussels Hub of Coventry University, Jon Worth, Political Blogger and Campaigner and 2012 European Young Leader (EYL40), and Giulio Barbolani di Montauto, of the European Space Agency (ESA).

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome back Dr. David Bek, a leading researcher in sustainable horticulture and creative economics at Coventry University. A lot has changed since David's last visit, and we're diving into his latest work on sustainable practices in the cut flower industry, including insights on the global supply chain, eco-friendly packaging, and the challenges we face in the push for sustainable floristry.Episode Summary:In this episode, Roz Chandler sits down again with Dr. David Bek to explore the complex world of sustainable cut flowers and the economics behind them. David shares his journey from childhood experiences with nature to becoming a prominent researcher in sustainable horticulture, with a particular focus on flowers. They discuss his work with the Sustainable Cut Flowers Project and the intricate supply chains that transport flowers across continents.David highlights the environmental challenges of the cut flower industry, from high carbon footprints to issues with plastic packaging, and how he and other experts are working to find solutions.

In this episode we talk to Dr. Marisa McGlinchey about her book, Unfinished Business: the politics of ‘dissident' Irish republicanism (Manchester University Press, 2019). Based on a series of interviews with radical Republicans from several organisations, the book discusses the development of ‘dissident' Irish republicanism and considers its impact on politics throughout Ireland since the 1980s. It argues that, rather than being simply traditionalists left behind by the mainstream, the dynamics and trajectory of ‘dissident' republicanism are shaped more by contemporary forces than historical tradition and that by understanding them we can better understand the emerging forms of political challenge in an age of austerity and increasing political instability internationally. Marisa is an Assistant Professor in Political Science at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University. Her PhD thesis, carried out at Queen's University Belfast, examined the decline of the Social Democratic and Labour party in the post-Good Friday Agreement period and is in preparation for publication by Manchester University Press. She is a regular contributor to media coverage of ‘dissident' republicanism.

Having a knock-out creative career five decades long is one thing. Setting up a charity to inspire the same creativity in the next generations is another. But the iconic British design duo, who are also husband and wife - Sir John Sorrell CBE and Lady Frances Sorrell CBE - have done just that. Frances and John started their lives in design both aged of 14 when, in different parts of London, they attended free Saturday morning classes at their local colleges of art and design. Neither were from well-off families. John had never been to an art gallery and most of his peers were dropping out of school aged 15 to get jobs. The experience was a revelation that paved the way for full-time study and their careers in design. It was also the prime motivation for the formation of the Sorrell Foundation in 1999 with the aim of inspiring creativity in young people to change their lives and make the world a better place. After meeting through work, the Sorrell's launched their now legendary design studio, Newell and Sorrell, in 1976. They've redesigned some of the UKs most high-profile organisations, including British Airways, The BBC and the Royal Mail. After 25 years in business, they sold to Omnicom, and have spent the past 25 working to give young people pathways to higher education in the creative industries. Their achievements and accolades are too long to list. John is co-founder and chairman of London Design Festival and co-founder of London Design Biennale and is a UK Business Ambassador, appointed by successive prime ministers to help promote Britain's creative industries abroad. John was appointed CBE in 1996, was awarded the Royal Society of Arts Bicentenary Medal in 1998 and holds numerous honorary fellowships and degrees. John was awarded a knighthood in the 2008 New Year Honours List for services to the creative industries. Frances is a tour de force in her own right. She is Chancellor of the University of Westminster, London, has Honorary Fellowships from the Royal Institute of British Architects, Falmouth University, Hereford College of Arts and Plymouth College of Art. She holds Honorary Doctorates from the Open University, Coventry University and University for the Creative Arts, and has been a visiting Professor at University of the Arts London. As Creative Director at Newell and Sorrell she won over a hundred awards for creativity and effectiveness. Listen in as Vince, Sir John and Lady Frances Sorrell discuss; cold calling BP fresh out of art school and designing their exhibition stand at the Paris Air Show six weeks later, growing up on the same working-class council estate as Rod Stewart, and why you have to put your money where your mouth is if you really believe in something.

In this month's Organic Gardening Podcast, Chris Collins chats to Nick Hamilton – son of organic gardening pioneer Geoff Hamilton – and finds out more about his gardening journey and life at his beloved Barnsdale Gardens. We've always had a close relationship with the gardens and Nick, a former Garden Organic trustee, and shared many planting schemes and plant cuttings over the years. Our ‘Paradise Garden' (now part of Coventry University), with its pergolas and pond, was built to commemorate Nick's father and TV gardener Geoff. More than 25 years ago, Nick had what seemed like an impossible task – taking over a collection of 30 or so organic gardens designed for television and turning them into a visitor attraction aimed at inspiring people to grow organically. In 2023, Barnsdale marked its 40th anniversary. “I don't have any problem with people referring to me as the son of Geoff as I'm very proud to be his son. The gardens are his legacy…and still rolling on today,” says Nick. “I want to continue to show organic gardening is not complicated or difficult - it's easy! And because you're working in tandem with nature, nature helps you along the way.” Also in this episode… Chris and Fiona chat about our Every Garden Matters research paper – showing small steps in any size garden can have a positive impact on biodiversity. And from the postbag, we tackle how to safely dispose of laurel debris and old garden pesticides, and discuss whether we should feed birds all year round.

Looking at a series of different records from the 17th century onwards, Sarah Ward Clavier has discovered stories about spying, how pubs, the links between pubs and post offices.Research suggests that communities with a local newspaper are more likely to vote in local elections. Rachel Matthews, who worked as a journalist in local news before turning to academia, explores the relationship between newspapers, readers, and advertisers across time and asks how the role of the local press is changing in the digital age.Anna Muggeridge has been looking into the hidden history of women politicians in local politics, in the first half of the twentieth century. This was an age when many important decisions on education and welfare were made at a local level – and where the story of women in local politics became intertwined with arguments around female suffrage.Producer in Cardiff: Fay LomasPresenter Dr Joan Passey teaches English at Bristol University and is a New Generation Thinker working with the BBC and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to share research on radio. Dr Sarah Ward Clavier, from the University of the West of England, researches the expansion and travails of the early Post Office, early modern news and communications, and Wales in the seventeenth century.

Carmen is maybe the most famous heroine in all of opera. She's a woman of Romani descent living in 19th century Spain, sensual and self-confident, aware of the power she wields over men — and she enjoys it. In her signature aria, popularly known as the “Habanera,” she describes herself as a bird who can't be captured. True to her own word, Carmen — and what she represents — is hard to pin down. When “Carmen” premiered in Paris in 1875, it was deemed wildly immoral. Carmen becomes intrigued by a soldier, Don José, who initially pays her no attention. She seduces him, Don José abandons his fiancée to run away with her, and one thing leads to another (this is opera, after all) — he winds up murdering Carmen in a fit of jealous rage. One interpretation is that this is the story of a man giving into temptation and meeting his downfall. A more modern view would position Carmen as a proto-feminist. She's a woman who refuses to be controlled, and that puts her life in danger.But perhaps Carmen's greatest irony is that she is both a complex character and a full-blown stereotype of Romani women. In this episode, host Rhiannon Giddens and guests unpack the myth and the magic of Georges Bizet's "Carmen," and Clémentine Margaine brings it home with a performance of “L'amour est un oiseau rebelle” from the Met stage.THE GUESTSFrench mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine first performed in “Carmen” as a member of the children's chorus. Shortly after graduating from the Paris Conservatory, she joined the ensemble of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, where she sang her first performances in the title role. Since then, she's performed Carmen at opera houses all over the world. Susan McClary is a pioneer in feminist music criticism. She's a musicologist at Case Western Reserve University whose research focuses on the cultural analysis of music, both the European canon and contemporary popular genres. She's authored 11 books, including "Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality" and the Cambridge Opera Handbook on “Carmen.”Ionida Costache is an assistant professor of ethnomusicology and an affiliate of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford University. She is of Romani-Roma descent, and her work explores the legacies of historical trauma inscribed in Romani music, sound, and art. Her family likes to pass on the story of the time her great-grandfather performed the cimbalom for Theodore Roosevelt at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Rosamaria Kostic Cisneros wears many hats. She is a professional dancer, dance historian and critic, Romani studies scholar, Flamenco historian, as well as a sociologist, curator and peace activist. A research-artist at Coventry University's Centre for Dance Research, she works to bring arts and culture to vulnerable groups. She was introduced to flamenco by her Spanish-Roma mother during their frequent trips to Seville.

NEWS NEW PUBLIC LAND ACQUISITION LARGER THAN YELLOWSTONE According to Outdoorlife.com; outdoor enthusiasts, especially those hunters and anglers in the Northwest, will soon have access to 15,573 acres of public land in eastern Oregon. The acquisition of the Minam River Wildlife Area was highlighted in a recent press release from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, which worked with state, federal, and private partners to bring the land under public ownership. When combined with the neighboring Eagle Cap Wilderness and the Minam State Recreation Area, the acquisition stitches together a block of public land that's larger than Yellowstone National Park. It will also improve hunting access to an additional 6,000 acres of land owned by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Hunters, anglers, and other users will be able to access the Minam River Wildlife Area from April 1 to Nov. 30. It will remain closed to the public for the rest of the year. While this closure will put the area off-limits for any late-season hunting and fishing, it's meant to protect big game on their wintering range. A grand opening celebration is currently slated for June 2024. FLORIDA 200 POUND PYTHON A massive 17-foot, 198-pound Burmese python was recently captured in South Florida. It is the second-largest snake ever caught in the state. The Python was caught during a cold front, making it even more unusual as snakes typically remain sedentary during colder temperatures. FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM SUED FOR ADDICTION According to Newser magazine, 41 states have filed a lawsuit against Facebook and Instagram. They are accusing them of intentionally trying to make kids addicted to their platforms. The lawsuit alleges that Facebook collects data on children under 13 without parental consent. The states also claim that Facebook algorithms are designed to hook children with features like the “infinite scroll”. TINDER ADDS NEW FEATURE According to Verge, Tinder, the dating app, has launched a new feature called Matchmaker. It allows a member's friends and family members to pick potential partners for them. Users review the dating candidates suggested by their loved ones. They then have the final say on who they like. HOT TUB HEALTH BENEFITS A new study by Coventry University reveals that soaking in a hot tub may produce the same health benefits as going for a half-hour jog. Researchers had dozens of study participants soak for 30 minutes. The participants experienced major boosts in cardiovascular levels that were comparable to running. Blood flow to their legs increased by 345% while average heart rates shot up 31 beats per minute. The participants' blood pressure also dropped significantly. Researchers found that a hot tub posed excellent benefits to both physical and mental health. The relaxed feeling of a hot tub is something enjoyable which makes the use of a hot tub even more desirable for improving health. FEATURE WHAT CAUSES THE WILD OR THE GAMEY TASTE IN VENISON? The "wild" flavor of venison is directly related to what the animal eats. Venison refers to the meat of antlered animals such as deer, moose, elk, and caribou. The 'wild' flavor of venison is directly related to what the animal eats. Corn-fed deer will have a milder flavor than those that eat acorns or sage. The 'gamey' flavor is more noticeable in the fat. Removing the fat, connective tissue, silver skin, bone, and hair during processing lessens the 'gamey' taste. However, undesirable strong flavors are can result from inadequate bleeding, delay in field dressing or failure to cool the carcass promptly. TIPS TO HELP IMPROVE THE 'GAMEY' TASTE OF VENISON Tenderize: Pound meat with a tenderizing tool or grind the meat. Add Spices: Cover up the ‘gamey' flavors with herbs like rosemary, marjoram, thyme or sage. Rub With Fat: Add other fats to keep game meat from becoming too dry. Rub a roast with oil, butter, bacon fat, or sour cream to add moisture, richness, and flavor. Marinades: Marinades tenderize (soften the muscle fibers) and enhance the flavor of venison. When using a marinade always include high-acid liquid like lemon or tomato juice, vinegar, or wine to soften the muscle fibers, and always remember to marinate meats in the refrigerator. TURDUCKEN THIS THANKSGIVING OR CHRISTMAS The Turducken, or some version of it, has been around for centuries. Multibird roasts were produced by the ancient Romans. Outside of the US & Canada, they are known as a three-bird roast. A roast using various large birds stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, or a quail for example. They are still very popular in the United Kingdom, often substituting a turkey for a goose. A TURDUCKEN here in the United States, made popular in 1985 by Louisiana Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme, is a stuffed boneless turkey with a boneless duck, then the duck with a boneless chicken with layers of stuffing in between. Finally, the chicken is stuffed with, (You guessed it!) stuffing (or dressing as some say it). This savory and unique main course is a delicacy on any holiday or special occasion, but Thanksgiving and Christmas is the most popular time to serve it. BEER ENTHUSIASTS & BAKERS We need you to weigh in on this trend that crossed BEC's path… Beer is considered the perfect ingredient for richer chocolate chip cookies. To be even more specific, according to Yahoo Style, adding Stout Beer to chocolate chip cookie dough will enhance the flavor and balances out the sweetness. Whether one stirs in the beer or makes a reduction, the claim is that the cookies will have a deep, rich flavor. Have You Tried? Do you have a tried and true baking recipe that uses beer as an ingredient? We want to try it in the cabin kitchen!

On this episode, referendums expert Matt Qvortrup and social researcher Nicholas Biddle join us to examine the Voice referendum result. How important was the lack of bipartisanship to the outcome of the referendum? Could the government have done more to convince opposition leader Peter Dutton to support the proposal? And is the emphatic ‘no' vote a sign of the Liberals' rising stock, or will elements of the campaign backfire on the party at the next election? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, leading referendums expert Professor Matt Qvortrup and head of the ANUpoll Professor Nicholas Biddle join Professor Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga to discuss what went wrong for the ‘yes' campaign.Matt Qvortrup is a Visiting Professor of Constitutional Law at the ANU College of Law and Chair of Political Science at Coventry University.Nicholas Biddle is an Associate Director and Professor at the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods.Marija Taflaga is the Director of the ANU Centre for the Study of Australian Politics and a Lecturer at the ANU School of Politics and International Relations.Mark Kenny is a Professor at the ANU Australian Studies Institute.

In this episode, we are sharing highlights from our webinar, ‘Movement and Breathing Better whilst Living Well with Overcoming MS' with Gillian Robinson. Gillian is a physiotherapist at the MS Therapy Centre in Lothian, Scotland. She discusses how MS affects breathing, how to breathe better and the importance of physical activity for people with MS. This webinar was recorded as part of our Finding Hope with Overcoming MS webinar series. Watch the original webinar here. Keep reading for the key episode takeaways and Gillian's bio. Topics and Timestamps 00:57 Why and how we should breathe. 04:22 How MS can affect respiration. 09:13 Consequences of ineffective breathing. 11:00 Monitoring and slowing your breathing helps with fatigue and stress management. 14:05 Posture and nasal breathing are important. 20:19 Deep breathing exercises can be part of your meditation practice to strengthen respiratory muscles. 27:23 Benefits of exercise for people with MS. 33:00 Include both aerobic and anaerobic activities in your routine. 36:38 Vestibular retraining, physiotherapy, Tai Chi and Thera Bands can be helpful for people with MS. 38:16 Breathing exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor and abdominals. 40:06 Virtual reality and visualisation can both be used to improve wellbeing. 41:53 Noticing your breathing is the first step to improving it. Selected Key Takeaways Breathing can be affected by MS, so it's important to keep active to strengthen muscles in the respiratory system. 04:24 “It's only in recent years that it's been demonstrated that the respiratory system can be affected quite early on in MS. I think most of us are aware that it can be affected in the more advanced stages of MS. [These early effects are] logical really, as we know that muscle strength can be affected by MS in the disease process itself, as wherever your lesions are, they can cause muscle weakness in the rest of our body. So, it makes sense that it will cause muscle weakness in our respiratory system. Not only is this primary weakness a result of the MS itself, but if you're not using [your] muscles and reducing levels of activity, you can develop secondary weakness or deconditioning.” Nasal breathing is really important for optimal health.17:17 “Nasal Breathing is really important. We know that chronic mouth breathing can cause problems with your respiratory system and your lung function and certainly impair the effectiveness of your breathing. You can get dental problems by breathing through your mouth, and you're losing 40% more moisture than you do by breathing through your nose.” Visualisation whilst breathing can help strengthen muscles. 41:00 “An interesting bit of research out there shows that through visualisation activities alone, you can improve muscle strength. So, if you struggle with activity and getting your body moving, visualise activities that you might enjoy. The more detail that you can add to your mental imagery, the better and the more likelihood of success. Just try to bring your awareness of your breath. We've talked about how important breathing technique and exercising your respiratory muscles is.If your breathing is optimised, it most definitely has a knock-on effect on your wider wellbeing.” Noticing your breathing is the first step to improving it.42:39 "Notice your breathing responses during activity, so notice what your breathing patterns do. Do you start to get more shallow as you get more effortful? Do you start to breathe through your mouth? Be more mindful of how your breathing responds to activity."

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the ecosystem as a whole, The Futurum Group's Ron Westfall is joined by colleague and fellow analyst Olivier Blanchard for a look at the top 5G developments and what's going on that caught our eye. Their conversation focused on: Overview of 5G-enabled Opportunities for AAA Game Studios. Cloud gaming, where you can play games hosted in remote data centers without owning any physical game disc or cartridge, has become a major growth area for the industry. Research from Ericsson found that 35 services launched cloud-gaming platforms in 2022, with more onboarding this year as well. They assess how real are the 5G—enabled opportunities for AAA game studios, the huge firms that release household titles. This includes our perspective on the 5G ecosystem's ability to aid and abet game development and playing, especially in the growing sector of cloud gaming, including as a key enabler of AR and VR gaming. Qualcomm Makes Waves With Snapdragon G Series Launch. Qualcomm created a marketing splash when it unveiled its Snapdragon G Series portfolio designed for the next generation of handheld gaming devices. Key highlights included the Snapdragon G Series now spans three tiers, G1, G2, and G3, with Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 Platform debuting as the newest enthusiast-class processor. They analyze the competitive impact of the Snapdragon G series launch on the 5G ecosystem as well as break down the capabilities of the respective G1, G2, and G3 offerings. Ericsson and Vodafone Live Network Trial: Budding Mobile Game Difference Maker. In August 2023, Ericsson and Vodafone completed a live network trial at Coventry University which successfully demonstrated the positive impact an optimized 5G Standalone (SA) network slice could have on enhancing the mobile gaming experience for consumers. Using network slicing, a major function of a 5G SA network that can enable Vodafone to customize connectivity services for specific customers and use cases, the trial participants were able to experience more consistent gaming connectivity with a 270 percent increase in throughput, a 25 percent decrease in latency and 57 percent less jitter, as well as smoother graphics rendering. They assess the ramifications of the trial in potentially advancing the ability of CSPs to support, scale, and monetize mobile gaming applications.

In the Global North, media and political depictions of migration tend to be relentless images of little boats crossing bodies of water or crowds of people stacking up at a dotted line on a map. These depictions presume two things – that this is a generally comprehensive picture of migration and that, regardless of where you stand, the situation around migration is relatively dire. Enter Heaven Crawley, who heads equitable development and migration at United Nations University Centre for Policy Research. She also holds a chair in international migration at Coventry University's Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, and directs the South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub since 2019, a project supported by UK Research and Innovation's Global Challenges Research Fund. From her perch, spanning government, academe and field research, she says confidently in this Social Science Bites podcast that international migration “is not an entirely positive story, but neither is it an entirely negative one. What we're lacking in the media conversation and in the political discussion is any nuance.” Connecting nearly all the regional debates about migration “is the lack of an honest conversation about what migration is and what it has been historically. It has historically been the very thing that has developed the societies in which we live, and it is something on which the clock cannot be turned back. “And none of us, frankly, if migration was to end tomorrow, would benefit from that.” Trying to bring a clear eye to the debate, she explains to host David Edmonds that roughly 3.6 percent of the world's population, or 280 million people, could be considered migrants. Of that, about 32 million fit under the rubric of “refugee.” And while the sheer number of Migrants is growing, the percentage of the world's population involved has been “more or less the same” last three decades. And while this might surprise European listeners, almost 40 percent of migration originates from Asia-- mostly India, Pakistan and Bangladesh -- followed by Mexico. There is a lot of migration from African countries, Crawley notes, which gibes with European media, but most of that migration isn't to Europe, but within the African continent. Who are these migrants? Overall, she says, most people who move are less than 45. Nonetheless, “the gender, the age really depends on the category you're looking at and also the region you are looking at.” Generalizations about their qualifications can be fraught: low-skills migrants ready to fill so-called “dirty, difficult and dangerous jobs” and high-skill migrants draining out their country's brains can often depart from the same nation. Crawley agrees that migration currently is a politically potent wedge issue, but she notes it has been in the past, too. She suggests that migration per se isn't even the issue in many migration debates. “A whole set of other things are going on in the world that people find very anxiety-producing” – rapid changes in society drawing from security, economy, demographics, and more, all against a backdrop of “migration simultaneously increasing (in the number of people on the move, not the proportion) and the variety of people also increasing.” This creates an easy out for policymakers, she says. “Politicians know that if they've got problems going on in society, it's very easy to blame migration, to blame migrants. It really is a very good distraction from lots of other problems they really don't want to deal with.” This is also why, she suggests, that responses such as deterrence are more popular than more successful interventions like addressing the inequalities that drive migration in the first place. Crawley's career saw her sit as head of asylum and migration research at the UK Home Office, serve three separate times as a specialist adviser to the UK Parliament's Home Affairs Committee and Joint Committee on Human Rights, and be associate director at the Institute for Public Policy Research. In 2012, in recognition of her contribution to the social sciences and to evidence-based policymaking, she was named a fellow of Britain's Academy of Social Sciences.
Right now, there are more than 13 million peri- or post-menopausal women in the UK. That's around 25% of the population, you may be in that category or you will be interacting with women in that category. That's why it's imperative that all of us have a deeper understanding of what exactly is going on for women at this stage of life.Menopause has become one of the most talked about health topics over the past few years. And, as topics get talked about more, the variety of information available increases. But is all the information we are consuming accurate?Today's guest is one of the UK's most respected medical experts on women's hormones and menopause. Professor Annice Mukherjee is a leading UK endocrinologist and author of the bestselling book: The Complete Guide To Menopause. She has over three decades of clinical experience and has supported thousands of women going through menopause to manage their symptoms and improve their wellbeing. She is an Honorary Professor at Coventry University, on the British Menopause Society Medical Advisory Council and was recently named in the Financial Times list, of ‘Women of 2022'.Our aim for this conversation was to make it a comprehensive guide for all things menopause related and we managed to cover a wide variety of topics, including:What happens in the lead up to the menopauseWhat symptoms are commonly caused by fluctuating hormone levelsWhy not all women experience menopause symptomsHow it IS possible for women to prepare their bodies for menopauseThe impact of stress and other lifestyle behaviours on symptomsWhy menopause should not be thought of as a hormone deficiency stateThe Pros and Cons of HRTAnd so much more.We explore something that Annice calls the ‘menopause paradox' – there has never been a better time in history to be a woman, with greater equality and better treatment options for symptoms, yet at the same time more women are struggling with their midlife health than ever before.Annice also speaks from personal experience - having been diagnosed with breast cancer she went through menopause herself at the age of 41. Annice passionately wants all women to know, that they have more control over their health and wellbeing, than they think. This is a wonderful conversation, it is jam-packed full of information and practical insights. I hope you enjoy listening.Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

And that's good, that's healthy.”“We're seeing a lot of people scaling down from flips. That actually means an opportunity for people who know what they're doing to step in and find that flipping opportunity.”“If you buy quality property in a good neighborhood, in a growing market, you will probably continue to enjoy a demand for that piece of property from future buyers and future renters.”“If you buy quality, hold it long term, you will very likely increase your hedging against the downturn, meaning you're already in a place that has chances to, to appreciate.”“Why panic and sell? You're not executing a loss, right? So just weather the storm, be patient. And it's easier to weather the storm when it's a quality [property].”“Give it time. It will probably do very well for you. Just be patient.”“It's really finding what fits into your lifestyle more than if this one is giving you $100 more in cash flow.”“The best generating source is my clients.
