Chicago Police Must Choose Between ICE and Public Safety  On Saturday ICE had an emergency situation whereby their vehicle was rammed and then blocked in by protesters. ICE agents fired shots at the protesters wounding a female protester. They requested assistance from the CPD. In regards to this request for assistance the Chicago Chief of Patrol ordered his officers not to respond. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

About her VBA2C, Chloe says, “I've been dreaming of my VBAC for 8 years. When my HBAC turned into a scheduled CBAC, I wasn't even sure I'd get the option to have a VBA2C. It took a lot of planning & hard work & I knew as a first time labouring mom that it would be a longer labor but I completely underestimated just how long… Dreams came true New Years Eve as fireworks went off & my husband & I welcomed our daughter!”Chloe's first birth was a scheduled Cesarean due to a partial placenta previa. For her second, she was planning an HBAC, but after going overdue with no signs of labor, concerns about her baby's size, and a CPD diagnosis, she had another scheduled Cesarean. For her VBA2C baby, Chloe went all in. She connected with supportive providers, leaned into physical prep, and was so inspired from other women's stories on The VBAC Link Podcast.Chloe labored hard for almost 3 days and was progressing veryyy slowly. Though it wasn't what she thought she'd want at 3 cm, she got an epidural and AROM which ended up being incredibly helpful! Her midwife even said that she pushed as though she had delivered five babies. Take that, CPD!

This weekend in Chicago, a deeply troubling revelation came to light: the city’s Chief of Patrol reportedly issued a stand-down order to CPD units who were in route to assist federal agents embroiled in an officer-involved shooting. Any officer who obeyed this unlawful order to stand down needs to resign immediately. According to internal dispatch recordings and reports, Border Patrol agents were boxed in and under threat amid anti-ICE protests. When they radioed for backup, police were directed to “clear out … per the Chief of Patrol,” effectively abandoning a federal counterpart in peril. Some CPD units initially moved to the location but were held several blocks away and later told to pull back entirely. In the face of this dereliction, the response from rank-and-file officers and law enforcement unions was fierce. The National Fraternal Order of Police called the move a “shocking violation of duty,” arguing that when any officer — local or federal — requests help, one’s first obligation is to intervene. Meanwhile, legal experts have raised the specter of official misconduct, reckless conduct, and even liability under civil rights statutes for depriving a law enforcement officer of protection. In short: by refusing to respond, CPD leadership may have signaled that political posturing takes precedence over the core mission of protecting the public — and even protecting fellow officers. That decision, whether justified by policy or ideology, paints a grim portrait: in Chicago, loyalty to radical left political currents seems to outweigh loyalty to law enforcement itself. Why the Democrats Might Fold on the Budget Shutdown Meanwhile, in Washington, Democrats are locked in a budget showdown, betting that Republicans will cave under pressure. But the same political forces at play in Chicago—posturing over principle, fear of appearing weak, internal party fractures—may work against them. Once real consequences hit — furloughed workers, delayed services, public backlash — Democrats will struggle to hold the line. Their leverage is limited: if the shutdown drags on, they’ll be forced to negotiate or be blamed for dysfunction. Eventually, at least some will crack, bend to pragmatic necessity, and agree to a compromise short of disaster.

In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, host Jessica Rose is joined by Anna Campbell for a look at common mistakes jewellers make when growing their business and how to overcome them. They also introduce the Jewellery Business Academy (JBA) a year-long programme designed to give jewellers the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to thrive.   The  1 year Jewellery Business Academy, starting on Monday 5th January 2026, is built to transform how jewellers run their businesses. What began as an intensive eight-week bootcamp has now evolved into a year-long experience with weekly training, one to one mentoring, expert-led sessions, and monthly themes – making business learning both manageable and sustainable.   Whether you're just starting out or have been running your jewellery business for years, this episode shares challenges you may recognise and shows you how to overcome them.   8 Common Mistakes Jewellers Make (and How the Academy Helps)   1. Lack of Industry-Specific Knowledge    Business advice can feel too generic – but jewellers face unique challenges. The JBA delivers jewellery-focused training on hallmarking, pricing, trade shows, collections, commissions, and more. Industry experts like Anna Campbell (email marketing), Karen Young (photography, marketing), Elin Horgan (wholesale, design), and Emma René (branding, visual merchandising) bring real-world expertise directly to you.   2. Overwhelm    Running a jewellery business can feel like spinning too many plates at once. The JBAy reduces overwhelm by focusing on one topic per month - from pricing and finance to email marketing, launching, and branding - so you can take things step by step.   3. Procrastination    Accountability matters. Through monthly group calls in small, supportive cohorts, you'll share progress, discuss challenges, and stay motivated to complete tasks and hit your goals.   4. Isolation    Being a maker can feel lonely. That's why the JBA includes a private community where you can connect with fellow jewellers, ask questions, and celebrate wins together so you never have to feel like you're doing it alone.   5. Lack of Confidence    Investing in your growth builds confidence. The JBA is designed as a long-term investment in you and your business, helping you feel capable and empowered as a business owner.   6. Fear & Imposter Syndrome    Many jewellers doubt whether they're “qualified” enough to run a business. JBA is CPD accredited (new for 2026), meaning you'll earn a recognised certification that adds credibility and reassurance to your skills.   7. Lack of Strategy    Without a plan, it's easy to get stuck in day-to-day tasks. Over the course of the year, you'll develop a Jewellery Business Growth Plan - a structured, personalised roadmap that clarifies your vision, sets goals, and keeps you moving forward.   8. Self-Doubt    Sometimes you just need expert eyes on your business. With one-to-one mentoring sessions, you'll be matched with specialists in areas like social media, wholesale, or branding, giving you tailored advice and clarity to take confident action.   Who is the Jewellery Business Academy For?   The Jewellery Business Academy is open to jewellers at every stage, from beginners launching their first collections to established makers seeking to refine, grow, and scale. With flexible payment options spread over 12 months, it's designed to be accessible, supportive, and transformative. Enrolment is open now.

What would happen if the next hurricane wasn't just stronger but completely off the scale? Are we prepared for a Category 6 event, and would it even show up in our models? In this panel discussion from InsTech's July evening event The future of catastrophe risk: where science meets reality, supported by Inigo, Ruth Petrie leads a conversation on how insurers are responding to more extreme, uncertain and fast-changing catastrophe risks. Featuring: Emma Watkins, Catastrophe Risk Leader Chris Weller, Head of Exposure Management, Inigo Tom Philp, CEO, Maximum Information Together, they challenge the assumptions behind traditional catastrophe modelling, explore the limits of the Saffir-Simpson scale and ask whether imagination, not just data, will define the future of risk management. In this conversation, the panel explores: Whether the industry should move beyond Cat 5 and how we define “extreme” risk Why flood, surge and rainfall are often more damaging than wind alone How climate change is altering where and how storms form — and what we can predict What insurers can (and can't) do in the face of rapid intensification Why demand surge, rebuild costs and politics are now central to loss estimation What kind of event would truly “shake” the insurance market — and why This is essential listening for exposure managers, underwriters, brokers and risk leaders looking to challenge conventional thinking and prepare for what's next.

We sit down with specialist dental solicitor Ray Goodman to translate legal jargon into practical choices for dentists—when to stay as a sole trader, when a limited company pays off, how partnerships really work, and why “expense sharing” can quietly turn into a partnership with joint and several liability. If you've ever wondered whether dividends beat salary, who can be a director or shareholder, or how to keep decision‑making fair between owners, this conversation gives you the playbook.We pull apart the mechanics of limited companies—the corporate veil, director duties, and the underrated advantage of flexible ownership that can include non‑DCP shareholders provided you meet the director rule. We compare this with partnerships, highlighting the risk of being chased for your partner's debts and the absolute need for watertight agreements covering drawings, profit splits, deadlocks, and exits. We also examine expense sharing arrangements and explain why, if money is pooled with a view to profit, the law likely treats that as a partnership regardless of the label.Thinking about incorporating an NHS contract? Ray outlines the real pathway: local area team discretion, novation agreements, and the welcome shift in guidance around personal guarantees and time‑limited obligations. We also tackle UDA value conditions that can attach to incorporation and show how to weigh the tax benefits against possible rate reductions. Rounding it out, we look at LLPs, when they make sense, and why many dental accountants still favour limited companies for scalability and sale readiness.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Why terms like 'most able' and their devoted interventions are so problematic2. Morgan's experience in teaching and why it led her to this topic3. What ‘Challenge for All' is theoretically and what it looks like practically4. Oracy, the Harkness model and PBL's part in challenge for all, respectively5. And finally, what Morgan makes of Alpha Schools and their apparent attempts to challenge all students through AI driven instruction?

You can connect with Luke here: https://www.viderefinancial.com/investment-options-review———————————————————————What happens to your financial security when you can't practice dentistry? For most dental professionals, income protection represents the cornerstone of financial planning, yet it remains riddled with costly mistakes that could leave you vulnerable precisely when you need support most. In this eye-opening conversation with independent financial advisor Luke Hurley, we dissect the five critical errors dentists consistently make with their protection policies – and provide clear, actionable solutions to fix them.We start by challenging the dangerous mindset that income protection can be postponed. As Luke powerfully states, "Ensuring your future self will never be cheaper than ensuring your today self." Delaying coverage not only increases premium costs but risks accumulating health-related exclusions or even becoming uninsurable. Regular reviews around career transitions prove equally essential, especially when purchasing practices, switching between NHS and private work, or establishing limited companies.The discussion delves into the complexities of aligning protection with various dental income structures. Whether self-employed, operating through limited companies, or employed, different insurers handle income verification distinctly – potentially leaving dangerous gaps in coverage. We explore the critical importance of appropriate deferment periods, coverage definitions, premium guarantees, and inflation protection to ensure your policy delivers when needed most.Perhaps most crucially, we examine how complete transparency during underwriting prevents future claim denials and how income protection should integrate with critical illness coverage, life insurance, and increasingly, private medical insurance to create comprehensive financial security.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Send us a textThe digital revolution in education is happening right now, and AI literacy has surged to become the #1 skill employers demand. With 70% of job skills projected to change by 2030, our conversation with Mike Todasco couldn't be more timely or crucial for parents and educators navigating this shifting landscape.Mike brings a rare dual perspective as both a visiting fellow at San Diego State University's AI Center and father of two school-aged children. His insights bridge the technical sophistication of artificial intelligence with the practical realities of raising children in a world where over 22% of kids aged 8-12 already use generative AI tools—many unable to distinguish between AI and human content.Throughout our discussion, Mike unpacks the delicate balance between embracing AI's educational potential and protecting children's cognitive development. We share compelling research about reduced prefrontal cortex activity when students rely on AI for writing tasks, alongside stories of remarkable progress when AI tutors are thoughtfully implemented. The contrast is stark and highlights the importance of intentional implementation.What makes this conversation particularly valuable are the practical applications. From using voice mode in ChatGPT during car rides to create personalized learning experiences, to implementing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems that minimize AI "hallucinations," Mike offers tangible strategies that work both in classrooms and at home. His suggestion to dedicate specific portions of curricula to AI literacy while preserving traditional instruction for foundational skills provides a balanced framework any educator can adapt.Perhaps most thought-provoking is his examination of children forming emotional attachments to AI companions programmed to be unfailingly supportive—raising profound questions about healthy relationship development in an increasingly AI-integrated world. As Mike puts it, "This is what scares me the most."Whether you're a teacher redesigning curriculum, a parent guiding digital natives, or simply curious about education's AI-powered future, this conversation provides the clarity and practical wisdom needed to ensure technology serves learning rather than diminishes it. The question isn't whether AI will transform education—it's whether we'll shape that transformation to truly benefit our children.Great News! The Brighter Side of Education is now CPD Accredited!

In this episode, Dr. Dave Chatterjee speaks with Josh Cook, a seasoned cybersecurity and privacy attorney who has guided multinational corporations and mid-sized businesses through high-stakes cyber crises. Drawing on his experience as the first Global Cyber Counsel for a Fortune Global 500 company, Cook shares how he built a global cyber legal function from scratch and why legal teams must be engaged long before an incident occurs.Together, they explore the human, organizational, and legal dynamics of crisis leadership: from building attorney-client privilege into preparation, to developing muscle memory through tabletop exercises, to ensuring the C-suite speaks with one unified voice when every second counts. Anchored in Dr. Chatterjee's Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) framework, the discussion underscores how legal, leadership, and security functions must converge to preserve trust and resilience in the face of relentless cyber threats.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -https://www.dchatte.com/episode-91-leading-under-fire-legal-and-leadership-lessons-from-cyber-crises/Time Stamps· 0:49 — Introduction to Josh Cook and his career journey· 2:43 — Building the global cyber legal function· 6:18 — Why legal must be engaged early in cyber strategy· 9:10 — Prepared vs. unprepared organizations and the “B-OODA loop”· 10:58 — Dr. Chatterjee introduces the CPD framework in crisis leadership· 14:30 — Leadership commitment and the ROI of prevention· 17:11 — Tabletop exercises and developing organizational muscle memory· 19:45 — Crisis leadership styles and their impact on teams· 21:55 — Cybersecurity as strategic enabler and trust foundation· 27:03 — Preparing for the next attack, not the last one· 29:45 — Common crisis weakness: fractured C-suite response· 33:58 — Unified communication and trust building· 38:02 — Clear, simple, consistent crisis communications· 41:17 — The importance of genuine care for stakeholders· 43:08 — Josh Cook's closing reflections: cyber crises are business problems rooted in peopleConnect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dchatte/ Website: https://dchatte.com/Cybersecurity Readiness Book:

Professional development is happening in schools everywhere, but is it actually working? In this episode, Bethan Hindley from the Teacher Development Trust tackles one of the biggest challenges facing school leaders today: fragmented CPD. Despite all the training sessions, workshops, and courses, many schools struggle to see real impact because their professional development lacks a clear, joined-up approach. Teachers are working hard and learning individually, but they're not moving towards common goals that meet their specific school's needs. Bethan shares practical strategies for transforming your school's approach to professional development, starting with getting crystal clear on your strategic priorities and ensuring these threads run consistently through all your PD activities. We explore why professional development is the biggest lever we have for improving student outcomes, particularly for disadvantaged pupils, and discuss the exciting new Asia cohort of TDT's Associate Qualification that Shane is co-delivering specifically for international school leaders.

In this episode, Matthew is joined once again by Richard Hartley to reflect on a major milestone in Cytora's journey: its acquisition by US-based Applied Systems. But as Richard makes clear, this isn't the end of the road. It's a platform for scale. Listeners will hear how Cytora evolved from tackling political risk to transforming how risk flows through commercial insurance. Richard shares practical lessons from scaling into the US, explains why they rebuilt their platform around large language models and outlines why being agnostic to input but opinionated on risk output is a game changer. They also explore the cultural and technical alignment with Applied, the value of blending insurance expertise with external product thinking and what it really takes to make hard pivots, including knowing when to throw away what you've built. In this episode, Richard shares: Why Cytora rebuilt its platform around large language models — and what they threw away to make it work How “decision-ready risk” became a guiding principle for digitising insurance workflows What it really takes to expand into the US and earn client credibility market by market Why the idea of industry-wide standardisation is flawed — and how to work around it How to lead through uncertainty, scale a team and make tough product decisions Why insurance needs both deep domain knowledge and external perspective to innovate The underrated role of resilience in entrepreneurship — and what ballet and rugby taught him about pushing through If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Richard Hartley or Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

Ever since she was a child, working in her father's clothes shop in Derbyshire and standing on a box to see over the counter, Jenny Bird has spent her life being interested in people.She drew upon the principles of communication honed during those formative years as she blossomed into one of the United Kingdom's very first master coaches, going on to co-author renowned coaching titles such as The Art of Coaching: A Handbook of Tips and Tools, and How to Work with People... and Enjoy It!In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Jenny describes the experience of leaving community education and training to be a coach at the turn of the century, when stacks of materials were posted across the Atlantic and she joined conference calls with coach trainers located all over the world.Throughout her training and her early forays into coaching at global corporations and in the NHS, Jenny surveyed the landscape of personal and development for those who do things differently, describing her “joy for sparkly new things”.By consistently forging relationships with innovators and brilliant thinkers throughout the field, Jenny has enriched her career. She shares invaluable wisdom accumulated across her career through her books and in her role as co-founder of Coach Continuum, which provides CPD, networking and supervision to help coaches flourish.Jenny and host Joey Owen also talk about:The benefits of being a risk takerHow to barter your way to getting what you wantPartnering generously and being paid what you are worthHow to tend to your LinkedIn gardenBringing poetry and creativity into coaching to cut through to the emotionJenny also shares some invaluable advice to new coaches, outlining the mindset, behaviours and conditions that form the essential foundations of a successful business.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CPD for all Dental professionals - without getting bored! Do you know exactly what to do if a patient faints in your chair? Could you spot the early signs of anaphylaxis—before it's too late? How quickly could you find and deliver adrenaline if it really mattered? https://youtu.be/7b2oG4g12q0 Watch PDP241 on Youtube After six years of podcasting and creating CPD, we're finally tackling medical emergencies the Protrusive way. In this two-part series, Jaz is joined by lead nurse and medical emergencies educator Rachel King Harris, who breaks down the real-life scenarios every dental team needs to prepare for—without the fluff or generic lecture feel. From vasovagal syncope to adrenaline protocols, you'll learn how to stay calm, think clearly, and take action when it matters most. By the end of this episode (and the next), you'll not only tick the box for your GDC-required CPD—you'll actually feel ready. Because when emergencies happen in the chair, panic isn't a plan. Let's get you prepared. Protrusive Dental Pearl: Be emergency-ready! Download a free medical emergencies cheat sheet — a quick guide for symptoms, drugs, and actions during a crisis. You can download this ready-made cheat sheet for free at protrusive.co.uk/me. Print it, laminate it, and pop it into your medical kit. Your whole team will thank you! Key Takeaways: Medical emergencies in dentistry are rare but high-stakes — being prepared is essential. Guidelines change often — regular refreshers are vital. You don't need to memorise everything — use validated resources and calm judgment. Vasovagal Syncope is the most common emergency in dental settings. If unconsciousness persists → consider other causes: meds, blood sugar, cardiac issues. Anaphylaxis can occur even without rash — don't wait for it. Key signs: stridor, lip/tongue swelling, wheeze, “impending doom,” difficulty breathing. Keep emergency drug guides visible and updated (e.g., BDA laminated sheets).

My guest today is Jonathan Small, and this is his 14th appearance on the Podiatry Legends Podcast, and probably most controvesial. This time, we dive into a bold comparison: podiatry versus dentistry. We discuss why podiatry must stop underselling itself, the dangers of low-cost clinic setups, and how adopting a dental-style model could elevate the profession. From training standards and fees to public perception and professional respect, this episode is a call-to-arms for podiatrists everywhere. If you've ever wondered why dentistry commands higher fees and greater status, tune in as we unpack what podiatry can learn and how we can push the profession forward. We also discussed why there should be a STAR RATING SYSTEM for Podiatry clinics, because we are not all the same, and the public should be made aware of clinics that are a little dodgy.  Please share this episode with your podiatry friends, unless you don't have any.    Don't forget to look at my UPCOMING EVENTS.

Jonathan Spry, CEO and co-founder of Envelop Risk, joins Robin Merttens for a deep dive into how data science, AI and portfolio-level modelling are transforming cyber reinsurance. As one of the earliest voices in the industry championing machine learning and systemic risk analysis, Jonathan shares what he's learned over nine years of building Envelop into a leading hybrid underwriter operating across London and Bermuda. In his own words, this episode is about building smarter ways to understand, underwrite and capitalise on emerging risk — with cyber as just the starting point. What you'll learn: Why Jonathan and his team focused on cyber risk and portfolio-level underwriting from day one The rationale behind favouring systemic insights over individual vulnerabilities How causal inference provides a leap forward in predicting tail events Why AI liability is already creating new market opportunities The need for creative, multi-source data strategies beyond traditional claims Why Envelop steers clear of SaaS and keeps underwriters embedded in the modelling process How algorithmic underwriting fits into the next chapter of insurance innovation Candid thoughts on the AI hype cycle — and what matters more than the buzz Jonathan also talks through Envelop's shift from MGA to reinsurer, how to think long-term in a volatile market and what kind of partnerships are needed to unlock new forms of risk.

Domestic Abuse Awareness – Why a Year of Skills Training Matters In Episode 346 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore trauma-informed practice, focusing specifically on triangulation and trauma — how this hidden dynamic shows up in therapy and why recognising it is vital for working safely and effectively with clients. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Mel Ciavucco, a counsellor, trainer, and specialist in domestic abuse, about her new CPD lecture, Domestic Abuse Awareness. They discuss working with both survivors and perpetrators, how coercive control operates, and the importance of understanding abuse through an intersectional lens. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken explore why formal counselling training includes a full year focused entirely on counselling skills. They explain how these foundational skills form the bedrock of all therapeutic work and how they support students in becoming confident, competent practitioners. Triangulation and Trauma [starts at 03:49 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore triangulation and trauma, highlighting how this relational dynamic is often rooted in childhood experiences. Key points discussed include: Triangulation involves bringing a third party into a relationship to manage tension or avoid conflict. It can result in anxiety, hidden trauma, and ongoing relational difficulties if not recognised and addressed. Clients may unconsciously replay triangulation dynamics in therapy, such as trying to get the therapist to “side” with them. Working through triangulation requires consistency, boundaries, and an understanding of attachment repair. Therapists should avoid prematurely disrupting these dynamics without fully understanding their protective role. Domestic Abuse Awareness [starts at 32:58 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Mel Ciavucco, who draws from years of experience working with domestic abuse survivors and perpetrators. Key points from this conversation include: Mel's CPD lecture explores coercive control, stalking, spiritual abuse, and honor-based violence. Neurodivergence (like ADHD or autism) can sometimes contribute to harmful behaviours, though not excuse them. Perpetrator work is focused on supporting survivors by addressing the root causes of abuse. Therapists often fear working with perpetrators - but change is possible with the right approach and supervision. The Jane Monckton Smith homicide timeline is introduced as a powerful tool for risk assessment and understanding escalation. An intersectional approach is vital - Mel speaks about LGBTQ+ clients, gender-based violence, and inclusive practice. Why a Year of Skills Training Matters [starts at 1:04:38 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explain the rationale behind dedicating an entire year of counselling training to developing core counselling skills. Key points include: Skills like active listening, reflection, and silence are often life-changing for students - not just for therapy, but in everyday relationships. Practicing these skills in triads helps students build confidence and competence before entering clinical work. These are advanced communication tools that improve personal and professional interactions across the board. Active listening helps us respond with understanding rather than advice or opinion. Silence, used well, can open space for deeper expression and processing. These foundational skills support the therapeutic relationship - where most healing takes place.
