The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran suicide has been told of a "clear disconnect" between policy and practice in the Defence Force, during its first day of public hearings in Brisbane.

Welcome to the post Leicester edition of From the Rookery End, where you can hear Jon alongside a thawed out Mike and Colin after their trip to the frozen tundra of the King Power. The team run the rule over an afternoon that wasn't without entertainment, but ultimately ended in disappointment after the Hornets' defensive frailties were exposed once again. You can also hear from a whole host of fans (thanks to everyone who spoke to Mike before the match) about how they are feeling in terms of their connection with the Watford FC class of 2021/22. It was a tipsy turvy afternoon in Leicester. Here's what we made of it. Come on you ‘Orns.

But without an in depth look at why they happen and all of the many ways we can actually benefit from them, we'll never look at them as anything but an inconvenience.This week's show is an encyclopaedic study of this enormous part of our art form. We're going to look at the numerous types of jump cuts, how they work, how they can benefit us and what the rules are for using them in our cutting patterns.Don't forget it's also Black Friday weekend here at Inside The Edit.

The Turkish lira's meltdown on Tuesday was a “train crash” long in the making caused by the unorthodox Islamist economic views of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said Aykan Erdemir, senior program director for Turkey at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies (FDD) and a former opposition member of the Turkish parliament. The free-fall in the lira has been caused by a series of policy mistakes that started during the term of former Treasury and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak, who is Erdoğan's son-in-law, Erdemir said in an interview on Tuesday for Ahval's new podcast series ‘12 Minutes'. Albayrak resigned in November last year.

The FAN Morning Show's Blake Murphy joins Will Lou in studio to diagnose Toronto's putrid defensive performance of late, and discusses whether it is more due to the coach's scheme or the player's execution (05:18). Later, they switch gears to the offensive side of the floor to chat about Scottie Barnes' development curve, the starting lineup, and much more (25:40)!The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

With an action-packed gameweek 12 in the books the FPL General is here to assess the damage and get you ready to go again at the weekend. He's got a watchlist update, transfer and captaincy advice, plus answers to these questions: If 5 at the back is a genuine option, can we say the Chelsea defensive triple is viable, along with Trent and Cancelo?  Is Dias to Chilwell a good transfer?  Antonio has 23 points from his last 9 gameweeks. What striker do we go for now?  Best under 6.5 forwards? Is Dennis the obvious choice? Should we trust the fixtures and keep Vardy or just sell him because he is a 2 pts player too frequently recently? How essential are Son and Kane when we could double up on the Chelsea wing backs for half the price instead? Are there any decent replacements for Mbeumo around the same price? Is Raphinha a hold? Or time to move to Jota if he's fit? Can we now start to look at Bernardo Silva as a legitimate option? Is it wise to take an 8 or 12 point hit to steady the ship if my team is a mess, wildcard is played and I'm way down the rankings?

Its members are determined to give untraceable DIY firearms to the world. We spent time with the founder of the movement—a man known as JStark.He showed us how he designs the firearms, builds them in his workshop, and even makes bootleg 9mm ammunition for them.We also went out into the forests with JStark to witness how powerful 3D printed firearms have become, and to gauge how dangerous they could be for Europe.JStark argues that his group is helping people living under authoritarianism fight back against their oppressors. Whilst this could be true, Deterrence Dispensed is sending their technology out into the world for free to anyone and everyone. It's totally unregulated. If it gets into the wrong hands, which it easily could do, many innocent people could die.[NOTE: Sorry gun fans, I interchangeably used the term "assault rifle" incorrectly I think.

The Defence Force has been told to plug gaps in its organisational structure and improve the way it shares information. The expert panel, set up just over a year ago following the Operation Burnham inquiry, recommends strengthening the integration between the Defence Force and Minister of Defence - and between the Special Air Service with the wider organisation. The panel also found that a lack of clear guidance on knowledge-sharing has led to a culture of persistent over-classification of information. Chief of Defence Force Air Marshal Kevin Short spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Lawyers are concerned a police tactic to take over the online identities of suspects and defendants is being used to target the vulnerable. Defence lawyers alerted RNZ to a form the police are using, titled 'Consent to Assume Online Internet Identity'. It asks people to sign away their social media and email passwords, allowing officers to pretend to be the person on their accounts and gather information. Criminal Bar Association president Fiona Guy Kidd spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Allan and Darren cannot resist focusing on the escalated and seemingly personal spat between Australian PM Scott Morrison and French President Emmanuel Macron over Australia's cancellation of the French submarine contract, then followed by the launch of AUKUS. During Morrison's recent international trip, Macron called him a liar, to which the Australian side responded by leaking details of private text messages the French president had sent the PM just days prior to the announcement. In Morrison's words: “claims were made, claims were refuted”. Who is in the right/wrong here? Stepping back, what is the role of honesty and integrity, or truth and trust, in international diplomacy? How much does it matter? Along the way, Darren finds the temptation to develop a potted academic theory of a “Morrison doctrine” too strong to pass up. Let the debate begin!

Aviation is an industry that naturally has a significant existence of legacy systems within financial and IT operations. How to harmonise these systems and what are the benefits of the harmonisation? Above all, how can you synchronize the legacy systems existing in your industry and organisation? To discuss all this and much more, we have Albert Ishak, the CFO of Airbus, Indonesia, for this exclusive episode on The Analytics Show. Airbus is a global pioneer in the aerospace industry, operating in the commercial aircraft, helicopters, defence, and space sectors. The company designs, manufactures, and delivers aerospace products, services, and solutions to customers worldwide. In 2020, it generated revenues of €49.9 billion and employed a workforce of around 130,000. Albert specialises in analysis, forecasting, financial modelling, statistics, data science, credit analysis, and research. He is a CFO with experience in Aviation, Aerospace, Defence, Agriculture, Hospitality, and Gaming industries. Before joining Airbus, Albert was a pivotal force in establishing Neorizon, a joint venture between Airbus and LM Industries. Neorizon develops physical products as fast and as flexible as software. The company specialises in rapid product innovation and development. He was the first CFO and Co-Managing Director there. Academically, Albert graduated from IE Business School's International MBA in 2017. He also received another MBA in Behavioral Sciences of Management from Yale School of Management. In this episode, the exciting discussion takes form through the following routes: Albert shares about his academic background and what advice he would give to young data scientists who are interested in progressing their careers to be a CFO. His experience in starting Neorizon, and how that experience cemented his professional career at Airbus. The use of data and analytics at Airbus and a few examples of how data science and emerging technologies are used at Airbus around the world. Some of the use cases are -- Airbus Skyways and Digital Twin technology, Route optimisation for commercial aircraft, and predictive maintenance to prolong the asset lifetime value. The use of data analytics in Albert's main area of expertise - finance. He shares their work in building the financial model to better understand the company cash flow, budgeting, and costing. Data analytics combined with finance automation not only allow him and his team to better predict the financial health of Airbus Indonesia, but it also allows them better manage finance when accessing the money market. Albert shares his views on harmonising the legacy systems as well as the long term vision that Airbus and Global CFO have for the future. If you are a CFO operating at a well-established company that comes with legacy systems, I would highly recommend you listen to this episode to find out how Albert is improving the financial health at Airbus Indonesia through finance automation and harmonising the legacy systems.

The row over Owen Paterson has come to a head today as the amendment to lift his suspension - tabled by fellow Conservative MP Andrea Leadsom and backed by the government - has upset many sides. Labour and the SNP are going in hard on accusations of Tory sleaze, with a real possibility of this spreading further than the Westminster bubble; while some Tory MPs who were whipped to vote in favour of the amendment are disgruntled at the position the government put them in. So what will be the impact of today's vote? Cindy Yu talks to James Forsyth and Katy Balls.

A strange light moving through the sky... the word "STOP" scribbled across the side of a parked vehicle... and a young man discovered lying face down in the mud, unconscious. Having all the workings of a true-crime mystery, these were among the actual events which gave rise to the bizarre story of the disappearance of Gerry Irwin. A USAF volunteer, Irwin was on his way back to report for duties in Texas in February 1959 when he observed a UFO passing above him. Concerned, he parked and trudged off into the snowy mountains of Utah to determine whether the object he saw had been a plane crash... and the story only gets stranger from there. This week, we examine Irwin's strange sighting, the ensuing memory loss, and other effects that led some to consider his case a possible "abduction" incident, or even somehow involved with the CIA's MK ULTRA program prior to his own desertion from the military and eventual disappearance. The fact that Irwin resurfaced again decades later only makes his story all the more strange, as we explore this week on The Micah Hanks Program.  The story doesn't end here... become an X Subscriber and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.

NBA.com's Gil McGregor is back with a recap of the week that was and a preview of the week that is to come for the Raptors. Riding the momentum of a three-game win streak, Toronto is above the .500 mark for the first time since February of 2021, and it has done so thanks to the play of Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr., who is impressing with his defensive impact.

Darren delivers a compelling synopsis of a report released by the UK Department of Defence earlier this year regarding the field of Human Augmentation. Could integrating the abilities of both people and machines be critical to winning future wars?

How do you convert the First World War into a short story?   This month we're joined by Dr Ann-Marie Einhaus (Northumbria) to explore short fiction published during and after the First World War. Along the way we discuss what makes a short story, the varying themes that appeared over time, and how too many sandwiches may be a sign of a German spy.   References: The Penguin Book of First World War Stories, ed. by Barbara Korte and Ann-Marie Einhaus (Penguin Classics, 2007).   The Prisoner's Defence and Other First World War Stories, ed. by Ann-Marie Einhaus (British Library, 2017).

In this episode we meet Bethan Jenkins of Linacre School of Defence in Oxford, UK. We discuss smallsword, fencing for the salle vs self defence, and to not believe everything you read in books. The recording took place on Instagram live 24 October 2021.

Australia, the UK and the US have announced a historic security agreement, dubbed ‘AUKUS', in response to regional security concerns about China's rising power and influence in the Indo-Pacific. Under the deal, Australia will build nuclear-powered submarines for the first time, using technology provided by the United States. It also signals to a greater presence of the three powers in the region with a focus on military and technological capabilities, including in long-range weapons, cyber and undersea technologies. How do the three states see AUKUS as contributing to regional security? How have regional states responded to this agreement? And what are the broader implications of Australia's pursuit of nuclear-powered submarines? Panel: Dr Anna Powles (Senior Lecturer in Security Studies at Massey University, New Zealand) Associate Professor Maria Rost Rublee (Politics and International Relations, Monash University) Professor Peter Dean (Director, Defence and Security Institute, University of Western Australia) Natalie Sambhi (Executive Director, Verve Research) Dr Rebecca Strating (Executive Director, La Trobe Asia, La Trobe University)(Chair) Recorded on 27 October, 2021.

Only nine people in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new cabinet remained in their old jobs. The massive shakeup in the team included putting a climate activist in charge of Environment and Climate Change Canada, a rising star in Foreign Affairs and the first woman of colour at the head of a problem-plagued Defence ministry.But what do all these moves mean? And why should voters care about the promotions and demotions that were handed out? Parliamentary reporter Marieke Walsh is back on The Decibel to break it all down.

Abandoned by its entire population in 1930, St Kilda has been uninhabited ever since. What's it like to spend six months with the birds on one of Britain's most isolated islands? Conor McKinney is a naturalist and broadcaster with what might be- depending on your personality- either the best job in the world or the worst. St Kilda is seriously isolated- it's an archipelago of islands over one hundred miles west of the Scottish mainland and 40 miles of rough Atlantic waves away from the nearest pub or shop. That isolation means that it has a unique environment. It's packed with rare and endemic wildlife and the owners of the island- the National Trust for Scotland- want to keep it that way. The Ministry of Defence has a construction project on the main island of Hirta and it's Conor's job to make sure that the boats and builders that will be coming and going don't bring unwanted guests with them- things like sea squirts, Japanese knotweed or- worst of all- the rats that would very quickly decimate the extraordinary seabirds of St Kilda.

Buying a TV through the Canteen Stores Department should be easy, or so I thought. After all, I had an updated digital canteen card. Here's what happened.

Fergie's puffed cheeks, Dalglish's giant grin, Maguire's hapless defending, Salah's hat trick, Pogba's red card, Sancho on the sidelines, United fans leaving early, Scholes' prophecy, Luke Shaw's self abasement, the record defeat - Man United fans witnessed the complete nightmare in Old Trafford this weekend. Dion Fanning and Mark Critchley join us to discuss Manchester United 0-5 Liverpool, Gary Neville's defence of Solskjaer, the mood for change at the club, Conte's candidacy and why this wasn't all the manager's fault. Plus there's Captain Smith's Titanic, Ronaldo's incredible physical stats, Dennis Bailey, Brazil 1-7 Germany, and Eoin's marathon mediocrity.

What is your attitude about  aging? Do you view it as a  privilege of passage or a negative occurrence that must simply be endured?   I am thrilled to bring on a special guest, Bev Thorogood, for a conversation on redefining our beliefs about the aging process. . You'll want to listen in, take notes… AND get ready for many ‘aha' moments.   We talk about:

Topics Discussed: Q&A How Much Money Do Freight Brokers Need to Pay Carriers Partnering with a factoring company Finding shippers that will pay you quickly for a discount Timestamps: [00:00] How much money do freight brokers need to pay carriers? It all depends on how many loads you plan on moving. If in your first month you plan on moving 10 loads and an average load is $1500, that means you must be invoicing shippers for 15k. We know it takes 30-60 days to get paid. If you get paid 20%, you will need 12k to pay those carries on those loads. [02:21] Factoring is a powerful strategy because it doesn't require you to have cash or a credit line and provides you with unlimited growth capital. Essentially, your biggest expense is paying carriers and employees, so If you do not want to partner with a factoring company, then you will have to use your own capital. [03:26] Find a shipper that will pay you quickly by offering a discount. Typically the discount can range from 1-3% of the total price with an invoice payment of 10 days. [04:48] Example: When I worked with the Department of Defence they would take a 1.5% discount and would pay within 72 hrs. ---------------------------------- If you enjoyed this episode, please RATE / REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE to ensure you never miss an episode.

There has been a lot of progress in relation to equal rights and protections for members of the LGBTQ+ in Ireland. However, despite decriminalisation in 1993, and the passage of Marriage Equality in 2015, there is still much to do. In addition to requiring effective hate speech legislation, the defence of provocation does allow a person accused of murder to claim that a romantic or sexual advance by an LGBTQ+ person resulted in a loss of control leading to the killing of that person. In this episode, we explore cases where this partial defence was employed at trial and appeal: the killing of John Roche in 1982, the murder of Gerard Hackett in 2002, and the kidnap and murder of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming in 1998.  Reasearch & Writing by Eileen MacFarlene of the Crimelapse Podcast  ********** With thanks to our sponsors for this episode: Try the casual mobile puzzle game Best Fiends today!

EPISODE #639 THE INTERNATIONAL COALITION FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL RESEARCH PT. 1 Richard welcomes the Vice President of ICER, a not-for-profit organization, is comprised of scientists, academics and leading UFO/UAP researchers from 27 countries on 5 continents who are unanimous in their recognition that we are not alone in the cosmos. Based on more than 75 years of research, ICER acknowledges that the UFO/UAP phenomenon is real; it acts with intelligence and is likely to be extraterrestrial/non-human in origin. ICER believes all countries now need to prepare for confirmation that the Earth is being engaged by non-human intelligences and proposes 'awareness' programs be established to deal with the profound issue of Contact and its global implications. Gary Heseltine is Vice President of the International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER) composed of scientists, academics and leading UFO/UAP researchers worldwide. The organization launched in May 2021. Using skills finely honed as a Home Office-trained police officer, Gary has examined cases with the "best evidence", those that have high caliber witnesses with special knowledge, often corroborated by technology. He concludes, on "circumstantial evidence", that some unidentified objects act as if intelligently-controlled, and that whatever is behind them is likely to be extraterrestrial, or non-human. While an officer he created, in 2002, an unofficial national database recording police sightings: PRUFOS (Police Reporting UFO Sightings). The database collates police sightings from sources including newspaper archives and Ministry of Defence documents. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!! C60EVO -The Secret is out about this powerful anti-oxidant.
