Eradication of Pit Toilets in Schools: A Race Against Time by Radio Islam

A rise in sea temperatures is being blamed for the death of more than a million fish on salmon farming sites. MOWI - the company that runs the sites - says increased sea temperatures in the last 2 years led to an influx of jellyfish and algae, which harmed the fish. But campaigners say having large numbers of salmon concentrated in once place is the real problem - claiming it compromises their health, making them more vulnerable when water temperatures fluctuate.Invasive mink could be eradicated from the South East of England. Mink eat water voles - as well as other animals and birds - and projects are underway across the country to try and eradicate them. After successful efforts in Norfolk and Suffolk, The Waterlife Recovery Trust, with the help of volunteers and landowners, has laid two thousand floating "smart traps” along waterways.And soil has been rising up the agenda in the last decade - among farmers, conservationists and politicians. Farmers in England can be paid to improve soil health and, in Northern Ireland, the government is funding country-wide soil sampling. So how much difference is it making?Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced by Heather Simons

Today is World Polio Day, a day to focus our attention on history being made.As I discussed with Carol Pandak, Director of PolioPlus at Rotary International, in today's episode, the end of polio is not just a dream—it's a real possibility. Carol highlighted that Rotary's commitment to this effort dates back to 1979 when the organization first launched a campaign in the Philippines, making a promise to the children of the world.Rotary leads the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, a collaboration that includes UNICEF, the US CDC, the World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation and GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance.This isn't just about numbers. As Carol emphasized, "We made a promise to the children of the world, and as Rotary members and a community, we live up to those commitments. We are in it until every child is protected from polio." Later, she added, “Making history is hard!”The progress is staggering. In 1988, when the Global Polio Eradication Initiative began, there were 350,000 polio cases annually, paralyzing children worldwide. Today, that number has dropped to just 36 cases, restricted to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Carol noted, “The fact that India achieved the goal is a proof point that we can indeed eradicate polio in some of the most difficult places.”What makes polio different from other diseases is its eradication potential. "It is possible to stop the transmission of polio through vaccination," Carol explained. The novel oral polio vaccine (NOPV2) has already made a significant impact, reducing vaccine-derived polio cases worldwide.The possibility of eradicating polio and protecting future generations from paralysis is within reach. This effort represents a historic opportunity, and Rotary's leadership in the fight against polio is a powerful testament to what can be achieved through global collaboration. To learn more or support the effort, visit endpolio.org.tl;dr:* In today's episode, Carol Pandak emphasized the critical role of persistence and hard work in driving the progress of polio eradication, which Rotary International has been committed to since 1979.* Carol shared that the eradication of polio is achievable, much like smallpox, through vaccination efforts that stop the transmission of the virus among children, particularly under the age of five.* Despite significant progress, with only 36 cases in Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2024, Carol stressed that continued effort is necessary to eliminate the wild poliovirus.* A new oral polio vaccine introduced in 2021 has significantly reduced vaccine-derived polio cases, demonstrating the power of innovation and global partnerships, including the Gates Foundation's contributions.* Carol highlighted a remarkable success in brokering a ceasefire in Gaza to immunize 560,000 children, showcasing the extraordinary global collaboration required to continue these efforts, even in conflict zones.How to Develop Persistence and Hard Work As a SuperpowerCarol defines her superpower as a belief in hard work and persistence. In her role leading Rotary's participation in the global effort to eradicate polio, Carol emphasizes that such long-term, ambitious goals can only be achieved by staying committed, even when the path becomes difficult. This perseverance has been critical in pushing forward the progress toward a polio-free world, showing that unwavering dedication can lead to historic results.An anecdote that exemplifies Carol's superpower involves her decision to shift focus mid-way through her doctoral dissertation, a daunting challenge given the established path she had already committed to. Carol pivoted from her original topic to study civil society in post-communist Hungary, requiring her to secure a grant, live in Hungary, and adapt to local conditions for her research. Her hard work and persistence paid off, resulting in her dissertation being published as a book, a proud accomplishment that highlights her ability to overcome obstacles through sustained effort.Tips for Developing Persistence:* Focus on the End Goal: Stay motivated by keeping the ultimate objective in mind, even when immediate progress is slow.* Learn from Setbacks: Use challenges as learning opportunities to adjust strategies and continue moving forward.* Have Hard Conversations: Engage with others, listen, and problem-solve together, particularly when faced with difficult situations.* Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge incremental successes to build confidence and fuel further persistence.By following Carol Pandak's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileCarol Pandak (she/her):Director of PolioPlus, Rotary InternationalAbout Rotary International: Rotary unites a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world's most pressing humanitarian challenges and creating lasting change.

America was founded to be the leading nation in all of world history in the ERADICATION of slavery.

he Islamic sciences were once rooted in an underlying epistemic unity, that existed among all fields of the knowledge in the Islamic world. Zara talks to Professor Joseph Lumbard about his paper Islam and the Challenge of Epistemic Sovereignty. They discuss: the eradication of the Islamic epistemic framework, the adoption of modern secular-epistemic models, and the complicity of some Muslim academics in this. Professor Lumbard also explains the need to reinstate the position of tasawuf (purification of the soul) in Islamic intellectual discourse.

G'day Folks, The Red Fire Ant was first spotted in Brisbane, Queensland in 2001. Shortly after this a campaign of eradication and fear mind you, began. According to the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries: Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, everyone, including individuals and organisations, has a general biosecurity obligation (GBO) to take all reasonable steps to prevent the spread of fire ants. Queenslanders are legally required to report suspected sightings of fire ants within 24 hours of their discovery, and depending on the nests location take action to treat the pest. If you do not do this, penalties may apply. The National Fire Ant Eradication Program aims to find, contain and destroy fire ants in South East Queensland. Their 10-year Eradication Plan involves ... and i quote "an intensive and targeted eradication effort over South East Queensland, spanning from Lockyer Valley in the west to Redlands in the east, north to Moreton Bay and south to the Gold Coast". So why is this such a big deal? Part of this i believe stems from our history of introduced species wreaking havoc on our local environment and wildlife. Think the cane toad, rabbits and red foxes. Poor decisions were made in the past and there appears to be a stigma. Enter the Red Fire Ant. They do have a painful sting and can attack en mass if a nest is disturbed. Much like most ants we already have such as bull ants, meat ants and green ants. Eradication of an ant species in my humble opinion isn't possible. They're far too resilient. Containment too is also is a fools errand. So why is the Australian Government and Queensland State Government spending hundreds of millions of dollars, if not into the billions now, on trying to eradicate them? What measures are being employed to take on this unwinnable challenge and are they too drastic? Are those eradication measures themselves causing untold damage to sensitive ecosystems, domestic animals, livestock, even people? Well for this episode I am joined by Simon Mulvany from BeeTheCure.com and SaveTheBeesAustralia on Instagram as well as Sarah McGuire, a local Queensland resident turned activist whose town of Samford is in the crosshairs of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program. We aim to hopefully answer some of these questions and give us their testimonies and opinions on the Fire Ant Fiasco. +++++++++ Update: The water testing results have now been made available.

I'm very fortunate that when I speak with Rotarians, I can deliver a message that really touches their hearts.For today's episode of Superpowers for Good, I had the privilege of speaking with two remarkable leaders: Bill Gates, Chair of the Gates Foundation, and Barry Rassin, former President of Rotary International. We spoke in May 2019. The episode is significant enough to justify sharing anew.Our conversation delved into the collaborative efforts that are bringing us closer to eradicating polio, showcasing a model of partnership that has far-reaching implications for global health. Five years on, the work to eradicate polio continues.Bill shared the profound impact of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), a partnership between the Gates Foundation, Rotary International, UNICEF, WHO, and CDC, initiated in 1988. He emphasized, "Getting rid of a disease is kind of the ultimate goal for all these infectious diseases. It's only happened once before with smallpox... the possibility that no kids will ever be paralyzed again even without having to spend lots and lots of money... appears within sight." His passion for ensuring that no child suffers from polio, especially in developing countries, highlighted the critical role of coordinated global efforts.Barry echoed this sentiment, reflecting on the strength of the partnership with the Gates Foundation. "The beauty of it is that we recognize that when we do things together, we can do so much more. The GPEI partnership... works so well because we were working together," he noted. Barry also emphasized the importance of continuing this collaboration to tackle other global health challenges once polio is eradicated.This episode not only underscored the progress made in the fight against polio but also illustrated the broader potential of such partnerships. As Bill mentioned, "Polio has had to pioneer a lot of things... mapping out where the kids are turned out to be a key tactic." This legacy of innovation and collaboration sets a precedent for addressing other infectious diseases and health crises.Reflecting on the discussion, it is clear that the eradication of polio is within our grasp, thanks to the unwavering dedication of leaders like Bill and Barry. Their vision and collaboration offer hope and a roadmap for tackling other global health challenges, making our world a safer and healthier place for future generations.AI Episode Summary1. Initiation and Motivation: Bill Gates explained why his foundation became involved in the polio eradication efforts, emphasizing the tragic nature of the disease and the significant progress made since the partnership began in 1988.2. Global Health Partnership: Rotary International President Barry Rawson highlighted the power of collaboration, with the Gates Foundation bringing not only funding but also technical expertise to the global fight against polio.3. Future Partnerships: Rotary is open to future collaborations with the Gates Foundation on various issues, such as malaria and water, and is looking to expand their joint impact on global health and development.4. Foundation Priorities: Bill discussed the Gates Foundation's shifting focus once polio is eradicated, placing HIV and malaria as subsequent focal points and emphasizing the importance of robust primary health care systems.5. Vaccine Development: Bill's foresight in developing a new polio vaccine was validated by the outcome, demonstrating the necessity and value of preparing for future health challenges even when the end goal seems imminent.6. Collaborative Models: The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is cited as a successful model of collaboration among international organizations, illustrating the benefits of keeping overhead low and fostering teamwork over creating new entities.7. Polio's Legacy: The polio effort has led to innovations that will benefit other health initiatives, such as better population mapping and emergency response capabilities, which were useful in crises like the Ebola outbreak.8. Funding and Strategy: Bill highlighted Rotary's critical role in fundraising and maintaining visibility on polio eradication, with programs like the two-for-one match enhancing the collective financial input into the effort.9. Inspirational Leadership: President Barry described his ability to motivate and inspire Rotarians, focusing their efforts on eradicating polio and leveraging their collective energy and resources efficiently.10. Call to Action: Both leaders encouraged viewers to contribute to the polio fight, with Barry emphasizing the ease of donating through Rotary's platforms and highlighting the significant impact those contributions can have.How to Develop Optimism and Teambuilding As a SuperpowerSummary of Bill Gates's SuperpowerBill Gates's superpower lies in his unwavering optimism about scientific innovation and his exceptional ability to gather and lead diverse teams.

Today On Medical Grounds, we will be speaking with Dr. Jon Temte about the alarming rise in measles infections in the United States. Dr. Temte is Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Back in 2000, he was part of an expert panel that concluded that measles were eliminated in the United States. That same expert panel recertified measles elimination in 2011. Dr. Temte also chaired the advisory committee on immunization practices, which issued a report in 2013 for the prevention of measles, rubella, congenital rubella syndrome, andmumps.We will discuss the current measles outbreak in the U.S., the scarcity of healthcare providers that have actually seen a case of measles, short and long-term complications, and some interesting information about the measles vaccine. Dr. Temte also shares his personal worries as someone who has seen both the elimination of measles and its rampant spread.(00:12) Introduction(01:16) CDC measles emergency warning(02:35) Measles symptoms(06:42) Short and long-term effects(08:27) Children and adult vaccination status(09:49) U.S. measles elimination status(10:42) Eradication vs. elimination(14:38) Herd immunity(17:17) False sense of security(18:23) Vaccine hesitancy and autism(19:48) How to address vaccine hesitant patients(21:21) Older adults needing boosters(24:19) Dr. Temte's worries and closing thoughtsVisit us at OnMedicalGrounds.com for more podcasts or download our app!

Ralph speaks to law professor, Barbara McQuade, who specializes in national security issues and has written a book that outlines the very real threat to American democracy, “Attack From Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America.” Also, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson sums up Israeli goals in its war on the Palestinians with three words “eradication, elimination, and expulsion.”Barbara McQuade is a professor from practice at Michigan Law School. Her interests include criminal law, criminal procedure, national security, data privacy, and civil rights. From 2010 to 2017, Professor McQuade served as the US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. As US attorney, she oversaw cases involving public corruption, terrorism, corporate fraud, theft of trade secrets, civil rights, and health care fraud, among others. She also serves as a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. Barbara McQuade is the author of Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.I think people are still bewildered about how to respond to Donald Trump. I think the media is bewildered because we've never seen anything like him—he's an absolute disruptor of how our system works. And so, he's a big bully who runs around and says all kinds of mean things and nobody knows how to deal with it. I think the media still struggles to decide how do you cover someone—when we've been trained to get both sides of an argument which presumes that both sides are engaging in good faith—when instead you have someone who is not engaging in good faith, engaging in lies, making inconsistent statements.Barbara McQuadeWe need to demand truth. We can't allow ourselves to engage in fiction, even if we believe it is to advance our ends. The ends can never justify the means. Our country is built on integrity in the rule of law and we need to demand truth if we are going to have a democracy and effective self-government.Barbara McQuadeYou don't want to go down in the mud with people. But when the national press begins and continues to be [Trump's] bullhorn, verbatim, repeating it, repeating it, giving no right of reply, there's no way you can simply say, “I don't want to go to his level,” because the press has raised it to a level that is devastating to our democracy.Ralph NaderLawrence Wilkerson is a retired U.S. Army colonel. Over his 31 years of service, Colonel Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002 to 2005, and Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993. Colonel Wilkerson also served as Deputy Director and Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia, and for fifteen years he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William and Mary. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and co-founder of the All-Volunteer Force Forum. The media is an Israeli agent when they do give some kind of deference to “the other side,” as it were, it's always in words and terminology and short sentences that make you know that “they are balanced.” “They are fair and balanced.” They're about as fair and balanced as my left foot. That's the way it is. The purpose here is eradication, elimination, or expulsion, period. Eradication, elimination, or expulsion.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonWe all need to wake up, and we need to start taking actions such as we can locally—whatever's within our purview and power to do. Because we're losing this country. We're losing it to the moneyed oligarchy. We're losing it to the unprecedented amount of money, because of Citizens United, that's pouring into the political coffers of people who have no interest in what you want…These people are basing their decisions on money. Money—not you. They're not the people's representatives… They're the representatives of the deep state, which is the oligarchy. Colonel Lawrence WilkersonIt's all these people with these unprecedented amounts of money who can influence anything, anytime they want to with a few telephone calls. That's what's running your country. And the predatory capitalism that they're advancing is running the world into the ground.Colonel Lawrence WilkersonIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 3/6/241. Just before the Michigan primary, President Biden implied that a ceasefire in Gaza was imminent. However, many believed at the time that Biden was simply trying to blunt the potency of the “Uncommitted” vote in that contest. The promised ceasefire never materialized, apparently confirming those suspicions. Yet, with “Uncommitted” winning over 100,000 votes in Michigan, the administration has begun using ceasefire language – a major rhetorical shift, but seemingly one without much corresponding action. Phyllis Bennis, writing in Al Jazeera, argues that “Whatever the language of Washington's proposed UN Security Council resolution and likely the possible temporary truce deal as well, the words of National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby continue to resonate as a better reflection of the Biden administration's policy: ‘We're going to continue to support Israel… and we're going to continue to make sure they have the tools and the capabilities to do that.'”2. Following the self immolation of Aaron Bushnell, activist Talia Jane has shared a letter from active duty U.S. Military personnel calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. In this letter, the anonymous signatories write “it is undeniably evident that the Israeli Defense Forces are repeatedly and systematically committing war crimes in Gaza. Support for the conduct of the IDF is unacceptable and inconsistent with our values in the US Armed forces.” Talia Jane reports that “over 100 active duty military across Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, as well as reservists and National Guard, and their families, have endorsed this open letter.”3. J Street, the preeminent liberal Zionist group, has finally begun using the word ceasefire – while still only supporting a temporary truce. In a note to their members, J Street wrote "This move is not a change in policy. It is a decision to begin using a word that is fraught with meaning and implications in the context of the Gaza War," Daniel Marans of the Huffington Post reports. J Street has deep ties to the administration, so whether they are taking their cues from the administration in characterizing a temporary truce as a ceasefire – or vice versa – it is significant that this is the new line from mainstream liberal Zionists.4. Max Tani of Semafor reports that the NewsGuild of New York has sent a letter to the New York Times accusing the ‘Grey Lady' of racially profiling their staff as they seek to hunt down the source of a leak exposing their shoddy – possibly completely false – reporting on sexual violence committed by Hamas. Per the letter, “Management's investigators have questioned employees about their involvement in The Times' internal Middle Eastern and North African Times Employee Resource Group (known as the MENA Collective), ordered them to hand over the names of all of the MENA Collective's active members involved in group discussions, and demanded copies of personal communications between colleagues about their shared workplace concerns…The Guild intends to vigorously defend our members and their rights, and ensure that all our members are protected in a workplace free from harassment and racial profiling.”5. According to NBC News, “The biggest labor union in Washington state endorsed voting ‘uncommitted' in the state's Democratic presidential primary next month, citing concerns about President Joe Biden's political strength and his support for Israel's war in Gaza.”  UFCW Local 3000 has over 50,000 members, making it the largest state chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers union. NBC also reports that “The Stranger, a prominent alt-weekly publication based in Seattle, also endorsed the idea of voting ‘uncommitted,' expressing disappointment in the options of  Trump and Biden, whom it referred to as the ‘two genocidal geriatrics leading the polls.'”6. Amid humiliatingly low poll numbers, Democratic-turned-Independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema has dropped out of the 2024 Arizona Senate race, the Arizona Republic reports. Senator Sinema, you will not be missed.7. In Manhattan, over two-thirds of houses sold last quarter were purchased in cash, rather than via mortgage, per the Financial Times. In other words, the preponderance of homes were purchased by the very rich. Pamela Liebman, the chief executive of real estate brokerage firm Corcoran, told the paper “High mortgage rates are creating a real void for people who don't have the strong finances that are required to buy in cash…It's driving people who would be home buyers in New York into renting.” This piece further notes that “rents rose to an all-time median high of $3,950 [per month].”8. West Virginia News reports “Kroger union members have voted in favor of authorizing a strike at 38 stores in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio.” As this piece notes, this vote gives the bargaining committee authorization to call a strike at any time, but the workers are not currently on strike. In a statement, UFCW Local 400 said “This vote has sent a powerful message to Kroger that they must do better if they expect us to ratify a contract…Now, we are ready to sit down with the company and negotiate an agreement that we can recommend for ratification. If not, we are ready to continue to do whatever it takes to get a fair contract. By sticking together, we will win.”9. Family Dollar has been hit with a $42 million fine in a food safety case after the company was found to have been “storing food, drugs, and cosmetics in a rodent-infested warehouse in Arkansas,” according to More Perfect Union. An FDA investigation revealed “live rodents, dead and decaying rodents, rodent feces, urine, and odors, and evidence of gnawing and nesting throughout the facility.” Family Dollar had been aware of the infestation since 2020, and continued shipping merchandise – often eaten into by the rodents – to 404 stores throughout the region. This is the largest ever criminal fine in a food safety case.10.
