2024 - 08 - 12 Emma Young by CurtinFM 100.1 in Perth, Western Australia

Ask me a QHello Bright Minds, at the end of 2023 I read about a landmark legal victory for a former Avon Fire and Rescue Service employee, Sasha Acheson, who won her sex discrimination case against the organisation. Reading that piece got me curious about the experiences of female firefighters after they've notified their employer that they're pregnant; what it's like to have to shift from active frontline duty to something else and what it's like to return to an environment where you may not have a single colleague near you who understands what you've been through. My guest today is NOT that former employee but a Emma Young, a female firefighter who has a lot to say about what it's like to be a pregnant woman in the fire service. Emma has a 15 month old daughter and she's currently pregnant with her second, a pregnancy that she found out about just as she was returning from maternity leave.You're going to hear about:How Emma navigated the lack of maternity policy and the difference a good line manager can make in uncertain circumstances.Lack of knowledge in the fire service around the needs of a person who is put on modified duties.The impact of a disconnect between what organisations say they want to do to be inclusive and what happens in practice.And as ever, my guest's wobbliest moment as she returned to work, a high point and Emma's three top tips.MORE FOR YOU DM Jessica on instagram @comebackcommuk Join a free expert 'Comeback Conversation' Q&A event Read Mothers Work!

Emma Young - Super Senses... with TRE's Bill Padley

Sorecha Dooley and Emma Young describe their experience on maternity leave in a time of isolation. To want to let others know they're not alone if dealing with issues of postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety.

A mind-bending, eye-opening scientific exploration of our senses - all 32 of them. How do you sniff out danger? What is a sense of direction or a gut instinct? You know about your five senses: hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. But recent research has shown that we actually have at least thirty-two. We take our senses for granted but what would be possible if we properly understood how they all work? Award-winning science writer Emma Young has spent over a decade finding out, and in Super Senses she takes us on an exhilarating sensory journey, revealing how we taste things without using our tongues, why swearing is good for us and why both chocolate and rollercoasters can help you fall in love. Using the very latest cutting-edge research, she explains the exploits of record-breaking freedivers, whirling dervishes, super-tasters, stock market millionaires, and many more. Discover how touch can ease pain, how taking your pulse can make you fitter and why Abba's Dancing Queen sounds different in Bolivia. Sharing surprising secrets from blind ballerinas, voodoo priests and even a nurse who can smell Parkinson's disease before it is diagnosed, Super Senses uncovers the science behind these abilities that make us human - and offers fascinating lessons in how we can all learn to use them better. Could being more sensitive make us happier, healthier - or even wealthier?

"Essa foi a sua experiência mais desafiante...?" pergunto eu, e depois ela diz "Não, preciso de falar sobre ela. No entanto, preciso primeiro de um lenço de papel". Tenho de fazer aí um corte e pensar no resto. Não posso partilhar tudo o que é dito, legal ou eticamente. Tenho de escolher as coisas que quero partilhar, e tenho de pensar nas ouvintes, e se estarão preparadas para ouvir. Durante o verão de 2020, fiz retratos-vídeos de 47 profissionais de saúde para um projeto chamado EXPOSURE (EXPOSIÇÃO). Estou agora paralisado com material que talvez seja demasiado desafiante ou eticamente problemático para ser trabalhado. O que é que eu vou fazer? Ainda não sei. Mas estou a usar este registo áudio como uma forma de teste, para tentar trabalhar com uma pequena parte das horas de filmagens que tenho. How to hold the bug (Como travar o bicho) resulta de uma encomenda feita ao artista britânico the vacuum cleaner (James Leadbitter) para o podcast Dito e Feito. Nas suas performances, filmes e intervenções site specific, the vacuum cleaner recorre a várias estratégias criativas legais e ilegais para ridicularizar e subverter as concentrações de poder. Com raízes no ativismo e na arte radical, o seu trabalho aborda questões sociopolíticas, incluindo o consumismo, a discriminação na saúde mental e a institucionalização. Em inglês.

In this episode intern Emma Young had a chance to interview Ethan Hunter, candidate for Seattle City Council District 4. The Seattle Municipal Primary Election will be held August 6. Learn more about the candidates running for office in your community at www.Vote-USA.org! Transcription School shootings are on the rise in the U.S. The Washington Post counts 237 school shootings since the Columbine shooting in 1999. In Washington state, there have only been three school shootings according to the K-12 School Shooting Database: Frontier Middle School in 1996, Marysville Pilchuck High School in 2014, and Freeman High School in 2017. Of the three, the Marysville Pilchuck High School shooting was the only one in the Seattle Metropolitan Area. In this incident 5 were killed and one was injured. In one Seattle Times article called “What we know about school mass shootings since Columbine and how to prevent them”, the author argues that focusing on fostering an inclusive school climate would be one of the most productive actions to take to reduce school shootings. It will be up to the local and state governments to determine the best path forward. Another issue they will have to take up is salary increases for civil servants. Seattle is one of the most expensive cities in which to live in the country. The wages paid to city’s civil servants often leaves them unable to afford the costs of the city. The National Low Income Housing Coalition cites that the minimum salary needed to afford a studio apartment is $56,640. The starting salary for Seattle public school teachers is only $56,947 as of October 2018, leaving them barely able to afford to live in the city in the smallest living space possible. Prior to October, many would not have been able to afford it at all, since all teachers received a 10% salary increase. The starting salary for firefighters of $72,900 and for police officers of $81,444 is not enough for them to afford larger than a two bedroom apartment. These civil servants are so crucial to the city but can not afford to live here, which is why some are arguing for wage increases. Seattle along with cities across the whole country have been deeply affected by the opioid crisis as well. In 2016, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) reported 179 deaths in Seattle due to drug related incidents, of which 123 were caused by opioids. The DEA Seattle Field Division anticipates that deaths will only continue to rise in the area due to opiate addiction. The opioid crisis touches every part of Seattle from stressing police resources, causing increased lawlessness, and disrupting communities. Seattle as well as Washington state as a whole has taken a multi-pronged approach to combating the opioid crisis...(Transcription edited, only 4000 characters allowed)

In this episode intern Emma Young had a chance to interview John Lombard, candidate for Seattle City Council District 5. The Seattle Municipal Primary Election will be held August 6. Learn more about the candidates running for office in your community at www.Vote-USA.org! Transcription Seattleites will go to the polls on Tuesday August 6th to vote in the primary election. Seattle’s seven district city council seats are on the ballot. Between all seven districts, 56 candidates are running with a wide array of backgrounds ranging from a former spy, a Peace Corps volunteer, and a scientist. All city council members hold a four year term. To run for district city council, potential candidates must have resided in the district for at least 120 before filing or declaring a candidacy, must live in their district during their term, and must be a registered City of Seattle voter. City council members earn $62.11 per hour resulting in an annual salary of around $120,000. This election will be the first in which candidates running for district city council seats can use Democracy Vouchers. In 2015, Seattleites approved the Honest Elections Seattle Initiative to make elections more fair and transparent which includes the Democracy Voucher Program. Seattle is the first city in the country to implement a program like this. The program stipulates that the Seattle Ethics and Elections Committee distributes four $25 vouchers to each eligible recipient. The recipient can assign their voucher to any city council candidate who is participating in this program. The Ethics and Elections Committee will disburse the value of the voucher to the campaign of the voter’s choice. Not all candidates participate in the program as it is voluntary. Out of the 56 candidates running for city council, 32 are accepting Democracy Vouchers. To participate in the program, there are certain requirements the candidate must follow including adhering to strict campaign spending rules, not accepting money from Political Action Committees, limiting individual contributions, and participating in three debates. Democracy Vouchers were first used in the 2017 municipal election. This is the first time district city council candidates have had the opportunity to use these vouchers. As of July 11, 2019, 51,775 vouchers have been used for a total of $1,294,375 distributed. The whole landscape of Seattle has dramatically changed since the tech boom began around 2014. It was in this year that Seattle first claimed the title of the fastest growing city in the country. Currently, it ranks #2 nationwide as growth starts to slow. The population of the city is currently around 745,000 according to 2018 U.S. Census estimates. A growing population has accompanied growing income inequalities. In 2016, the top 20% of earners in Seattle took home 53.3% of income earned in Seattle, whereas the bottom 20% took home only 2.6%. Inequality continues to grow because the top earners continue to make more money while to poorest’s salaries remain stagnant, widening the gap between quintiles...

In this episode intern Emma Young had a chance to interview John Cooper, candidate for Mayor of Nashville. The Nashville Municipal Election will be held August 1. Learn more about the candidates running for office in your community at www.Vote-USA.org! Narration Transcription In the coming weeks, Nashvillians and citizens of Davidson County will go to the polls to vote in a variety of races including Mayor. Early voting starts July 12th and goes through July 27th. Election day is Thursday, August 1st. The candidates for Mayor this August 1st are a diverse crowd. There are nine candidates in total, with four having ran in the 2018 Special General Election for Mayor and three having held office previously. The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County’s city charter, created in 1963, stipulates that, to run for Mayor, a candidate must be 30 years of age at the beginning of the term, must have lived in Davidson County for at least three years prior to the election, and must live in the county during their term as Mayor. The Mayor serves a term of four years, and is a nonpartisan position. This is an at-large position that will represent all of Nashville and Davidson County. On election day, if any one candidate receives a majority, or greater than half, of the votes cast in the election, then this candidate will become the new Mayor. However, if no candidate receives a majority of the vote, then there will be a runoff election between the two with the most votes in a September 2019 Runoff Election. Whichever candidate that wins the most votes in the runoff election will become the next Mayor. The Mayor makes a salary of $180,000 per year. Current mayoral candidates will be running to unseat the incumbent David Briley who took office in 2018 as the Metro Government’s 8th Mayor. Mayor Briley rose to this position in an unusual fashion by first serving as the Acting Mayor following the resignation of Former Mayor Megan Barry and by later winning the Special General Election to become Mayor. While mayor’s normally serve a four year term, the Special General Election of 2018’s purpose was to fill the remaining year of Former Mayor Barry’s four year term which began in 2015. Therefore, Mayor Briley will only serve for one year as Mayor before having to run for reelection for another term. While Mayor Briley won the Special General Election with 54.4% of the vote, avoiding a runoff election, the crowded field of eight challengers will certainly not make reelection easy. Today we speak with one of these challengers: John Cooper. Mr. Cooper was first elected to public office in 2015 as one of Nashville’s five Metro Council at large representatives. During his time in office, he has worked to save public lands and to ensure the Metro government is spending taxpayer’s money well. Notably, largely through his efforts and dedication as an at-large councilman, Ft. Negley Park was saved from being sold off for private development. Prior to his work on the council, Mr. Cooper was involved in banking, real-estate, and retail business. Now let’s hear from Councilman Cooper himself.

The Campfire Fellows go through rigorous training and coaching provided by Campfire Faculty so they can share their wisdom through story for you. Our Fellows are the people next to you at stoplights or walking by on the street. These Fellows apply or are are nominated by people like you, who know interesting and introspective people with some wisdom to share. The Fellows go through a unique process with our team to discover a wealth of wisdom inside themselves then are trained on how to share the origin stories of that wisdom.

"Losing enjoyment of food and drink is a common complaint for people who lose their sense of smell. You can taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami with your tongue. More complex flavours – like grapefruit or barbecued steak – depend on smell. But for Nick, as for many people who can’t smell, there’s another category of loss altogether." Losing your sense of smell can fundamentally change the way you relate to other people.

"What use, if any, is homesickness? 'It's purpose is the same today as it has been for millions of years - to deter us from leaving supportive groups and environments,' writes Mark Leary, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University in the USA, in Duke Magazine. 'Homesickness would have been relatively uncommon, occurring only when individuals were separated from supportive, familiar people.'" What does it mean to be homesick in 2015, and does technology help or hinder us when we move to a new place? John Osborne revisits his past to find out.

"By the end of that day the September 11th Fund had been established by two major local charities. Donations poured in. Money first went on immediate aid - hot meals for rescue workers, emergency cheques for victims and their families - and then funds were made available for programmes to help New Yorkers to recover. The damage wasn't only physical, but psychological. Counsellors set up services in local churches, and psychiatrists came from around the country to offer their expertise and their insights. Thoughts turned to the city's children - how would they deal with the stress and trauma?" Can children be made more psychologically ‘resilient’ to traumas like 9/11 – as well as the stress of everyday life? Emma Young meets a former school principal who believes they can.

Reader's Advisory Librarian at Seattle Public Library Interview starts at 12:20 and ends at 37:05 “The Seattle Library has seen an exponential growth in our e-book usage, which like elsewhere is not cutting into our print usage. It's additive, which is really interesting to say. Same with audiobooks. These new formats just seem to bring new people into reading and literature, so that's all to the good.” (Photo by John Lok, The Seattle Times) News “New findings suggest it might be better to read toddlers an e-book than a print book” by Emma Young at The British Psychological Society Research Digest - June 15, 2017 “Amazon's New Customer” by Ben Thompson at Stratechery - June 19, 2017 “In Whole Foods, Bezos Gets a Sustainably Sourced Guinea Pig” by Farhad Manjoo at The New York Times - June 17, 2017 “Open Road Integrated Media Newsletters Reach One Million Subscribers” - press release on June 22, 2017 Tech Tips “Introducing Smart Home Camera Control with Alexa” by Jeff Blankenburg at Alexa Blogs - June 22, 2017 Interview with David Wright Seattle Public Library Nancy Pearl on TKC 268 Books by Jerome Charyn and James Sallis The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood Books by Joanna Russ Selected Shorts podcast Books by Richard Matheson Amazon support for Mary's Place - Seattle Times May 14, 2017 Internet Archive The Mysteries of Paris by Eugéne Sue The Collected Works of Jack London A Natural History of Hell: Stories by Jeffrey Ford (Includes “The Blameless”) Articles by and about David Wright: “Librarians of the 21st Century: Worst Story Time Ever?

Architect Emma Young is co-director of Phooey Architects. Phooey Architects have established a reputation for their sustainable homes. They recycle the materials in a building as much as possible. One of their latest projects, a renovation to a terrace house in North Fitzroy, Melbourne, beautifully captures the practice's distinctive signature. The past and present has been thoughtfully interwoven to create a contemporary home for a couple with young children.

Emma Young was born in Camden, Wilcox County, Alabama in 1902. She moved to Birmingham as a young married woman. While in Birmingham, she worked as a housewife in her own home, and as a domestic in the homes of White families. In addition, she worked as a cook and maid at downtown hotels. When Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Birmingham to assist the local Civil Rights Movement, Young was active in the movement with her children and grandchildren. She attended mass meetings and demonstrations, and her son, grandson, and granddaughter were jailed. Mrs. Young passed away at the age of 102. Listen to Emma Young relay the story of an encounter between Birmingham police commissioner, Bull Conner, and a group of rabbis who had traveled to Birmingham in 1963 to observe the movement and support the efforts of local Blacks working to end segregation's grip on the city.

PHOOEY Architects are engaged in the cultural identity of our sustainable future, actively exploring resilience, comfort and aesthetic strategies that incorporate a campaign of awareness, feedback design, recycled form and a re–value of consumption waste. Their work has been described as ugly, fabulously whimsical, a billboard for sustainability, trash, glamour!
