The UK has temporarily banned all imports of pig products from Spain afrer an outbreak of African Swine Fever in wild boars there. It's their first case since 1994. The disease is spread by ticks and can be devastating to commercial herds. The National Pig Association here says it's vital our government puts adequate controls at borders to keep the disease out. Northern Ireland has had its first case of bluetongue, in County Down. The government has introduced a 20km restriction zone to control the spread. There have been around 200 cases in England and Wales this year, though none in Scotland. A farmer is calling on the Scottish Government to fund a multi-million pound dairy development programme, which would encourage farmers to keep cows with their newborn calves for longer. David Finlay has been pioneering the unconventional system on his farm near Kirkcudbright - which is now the largest commercial 'cow-with-calf' dairy in Europe. And all this week we're looking at the jobs farmers need to do over winter - today, cleaning up ready for next season. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.

Maximising Your Website Presence – Should Counselling Students Pay for a Placement? In Episode 357 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', we discuss what to do when your usual supervisor isn't available. In planning for alternative supervision cover, we explore how to ensure you stay ethical and supported during supervisor absences. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Daragh Mac Loughlin from WebHealer about how to maximise your website presence and build a joined-up online identity across web and social platforms. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken address a hot topic - should counselling students pay for a placement? With insight from Paul Cullen, they look at fairness, value for money, and what to consider if faced with this scenario. Planning for Alternative Supervision Cover [starts at 03:33 mins] Having a backup plan for supervision is crucial - this segment explores how to stay compliant, safe, and client-focused when your supervisor is unexpectedly absent. As part of planning for alternative supervision cover, it's important to know where to turn if you suddenly need short-term or emergency support. You are ethically required to maintain regular supervision, even during supervisor absences. Consider forming a plan ahead of time for temporary, short-term, or emergency supervision cover. Replacement supervisors should match your client group, modality, and level of risk. Peer consultations can be useful for support, but do not replace formal supervision. Review your ethical body's rules - students especially must ensure their hours are counted. For counsellors looking for reliable supervision options — including temporary or emergency cover — you can explore a directory of qualified online supervisors at Counselling Tutor's Supervisor Directory Maximising Your Website Presence [starts at 31:42 mins] Daragh Mac Loughlin from WebHealer shares expert tips for creating a strong, connected online presence that builds trust and converts browsers into clients. First impressions count - use a clear, current photo and accessible language to build trust. Align your website and social platforms to create a consistent and professional digital identity. Keep your website fresh with long-form content, updates, and CPD reflections. Use short-form social media posts to lead traffic to your more in-depth website content. Monitor performance with tools like Microsoft Clarity to track user behaviour and optimise engagement. Treat your website as a living tool, not a one-time setup - invest time in nurturing it. Should Counselling Students Pay for a Placement? [starts at 57:41 mins] This contentious issue is explored with input from Paul Cullen - looking at whether charging for placements is fair, ethical, or ever appropriate. Some charities ask students to pay fees to cover clinical leads or provide additional training. Students should ask what's included - DBS checks, supervision, insurance, or CPD. Placements should offer proper triage to allocate clients within a student's competency. Be mindful that fees could exclude passionate students without financial means. Students are assets, bringing enthusiasm and current theory - placements also benefit from them. Always check the value of what's offered and weigh up if it supports your learning journey.

AI has brought incredible new capabilities into everyday technology, but it's also creating security challenges that most people haven't fully wrapped their heads around yet. As these systems become more capable and more deeply connected to the tools and data we rely on, the risks become harder to predict and much more complicated to manage. My guest today is Rich Smith, who leads offensive research at MindGard and has spent more than twenty years working on the front lines of cybersecurity. Rich has held leadership roles at organizations like Crash Override, Gemini, Duo Security, Cisco, and Etsy, and he's spent most of his career trying to understand how real attackers think and where systems break under pressure. We talk about how AI is changing the way attacks happen, why the old methods of testing security don't translate well anymore, and what happens when models behave in ways no one expected. Rich also explains why psychology now plays a surprising role in hacking AI systems, where companies are accidentally creating new openings for exploitation, and what everyday users should keep in mind when trusting AI with personal information. It's a fascinating look behind the curtain at what's really going on in AI security right now. Show Notes: [01:00] Rich describes getting into hacking as a kid and bypassing his brother's disk password. [03:38] He talks about discovering Linux and teaching himself through early online systems. [05:07] Rich explains how offensive security became his career and passion. [08:00] Discussion of curiosity, challenge, and the appeal of breaking systems others built.

[12:50] Example of a bot attack against an online game that used his own open-source tool. [16:26] Common security gaps caused by debugging code and staging environments. [17:43] Rich explains how AI has fundamentally changed offensive cybersecurity. [19:30] Why binary vulnerability testing no longer applies to generative AI. [21:00] The role of statistics and repeated prompts in evaluating AI risk and failure. [23:45] Base64 encoding used to bypass filters and trick models. [27:07] Differentiating between model safety and full system security. [30:41] Risks created when AI models are connected to external tools and infrastructure. [32:55] The difficulty of securing Python execution environments used by AI systems. [35:56] How social engineering and psychology are becoming new attack surfaces. [38:00] Building psychological profiles of models to manipulate behavior. [42:14] Ethical considerations and moral questions around AI exploitation.

fWotD Episode 3126: Hedonism Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 25 November 2025, is Hedonism.Hedonism is a family of philosophical views that prioritize pleasure. Psychological hedonism is the theory that all human behavior is motivated by the desire to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. As a form of egoism, it suggests that people only help others if they expect a personal benefit. Axiological hedonism is the view that pleasure is the sole source of intrinsic value. It asserts that other things, like knowledge and money, only have value insofar as they produce pleasure and reduce pain. This view divides into quantitative hedonism, which only considers the intensity and duration of pleasures, and qualitative hedonism, which identifies quality as another relevant factor. The closely related position of prudential hedonism states that pleasure and pain are the only factors of well-being. Ethical hedonism applies axiological hedonism to morality, arguing that people have a moral duty to pursue pleasure and avoid pain. Utilitarian versions assert that the goal is to increase overall happiness for everyone, whereas egoistic versions state that each person should only pursue their own pleasure. Outside the academic context, hedonism is sometimes used as a pejorative term for an egoistic lifestyle seeking short-term gratification.Hedonists typically understand pleasure and pain broadly to include any positive or negative experience. While traditionally seen as bodily sensations, some contemporary philosophers view them as attitudes of attraction or aversion toward objects or contents. Hedonists often use the term "happiness" for the balance of pleasure over pain. The subjective nature of these phenomena makes it difficult to measure this balance and compare it between different people. The paradox of hedonism and the hedonic treadmill are proposed psychological barriers to the hedonist goal of long-term happiness.As one of the oldest philosophical theories, hedonism was discussed by the Cyrenaics and Epicureans in ancient Greece, the Charvaka school in ancient India, and Yangism in ancient China. It attracted less attention in the medieval period but became a central topic in the modern era with the rise of utilitarianism. Various criticisms of hedonism emerged in the 20th century, prompting its proponents to develop new versions to address these challenges. The concept of hedonism remains relevant to many fields, ranging from psychology and economics to animal ethics.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Tuesday, 25 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hedonism on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Danielle.

Today we're talking about one of the hardest and most important parts of leadership: holding high standards and leading with genuine compassion. This is the backbone of a resilient team — and honestly, it's the part most leaders secretly struggle with. I'm sharing a story from my Air Force days that completely shifted how I understand ethical leadership, and what it really looks like to care deeply without lowering the bar. “Compassion without standards becomes chaos. Standards without compassion become cruelty.” ~Tami Imlay Want to Go Deeper? Ready to stop circling your calling and finally get clear on what's next?

Show Notes: The Ethics of TriageEpisode Summary:In this episode of the Emergency Management Network, hosts Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott dive into the ethical dimensions of triage decision-making in emergency management. When resources are scarce and lives hang in the balance, how do practitioners decide who receives what—and when? They explore the moral, operational, and community implications of triage: from the utilitarian drive to save the most lives to justice, equity, and the dignity of every individual. The discussion moves beyond clinical mass-casualty triage into the broader realm of emergency management: how we allocate responders, infrastructure support, and logistics under constraint.Topics Covered:* The concept of triage in disasters: not just medical, but resource and operational prioritization.* Ethical frameworks in triage: utilitarianism (greatest good), justice/fairness, respect for persons.* Application for emergency management: when first responders, shelters, infrastructure, and logistics compete for scarce resources.* Procedural and decision-making ethics: transparency, criteria, fairness, documentation, moral burden.* Scenarios and case reflections: mass-casualty incidents, pandemic strains, infrastructure failures, evacuation dilemmas.* Practical guidance: building ethical triage protocols in EM, training for moral stress, community engagement, and after-action review of ethical decisions.* Questions for reflection: How do you build trust when triage decisions must be made under pressure? How do you integrate equity and fairness? How do you support decision-makers facing moral injury?Quotable Moment:“Triage isn't just who goes first — it's who we decide we can't help right now, and that decision carries ethical weight for the entire system.” This is a public episode.

EMDR: A 21st-Century Approach to Trauma – AI and Plagiarism in Counselling Training In Episode 356 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 the sensitive topic of lying in therapy, examining why clients may lie or conceal information through a trauma-informed perspective and how therapists can respond with compassion. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Andrew Kidd about EMDR therapy - what it is, how it works, and why it's considered a cutting-edge 21st-century therapeutic intervention. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the rising concern of AI and plagiarism in counselling training, including guidance for ethical use and how assessment may evolve. Lying in Therapy [starts at 03:11 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken examine lying in therapy, unpacking the nuances behind client dishonesty and offering guidance on how therapists can navigate concealment with empathy. Key points discussed include: Lying in therapy is common and often rooted in past trauma or a need to protect the self. Concealment may serve as a survival mechanism shaped by earlier life experiences. Incongruence between a client's words and behaviours can be gently explored without judgement. Strong therapeutic relationships and non-judgemental approaches create safety for honesty to emerge. Therapists are often not adept at detecting lies - emphasis should be placed on understanding behaviour rather than catching deception. Dishonesty can signal areas of deep pain; responding with curiosity rather than confrontation is key. EMDR: A 21st-Century Approach to Trauma [starts at 23:40 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Andrew Kidd, BACP senior accredited counsellor and EMDR Europe accredited practitioner, about EMDR as a powerful method for trauma reprocessing. Key points from this conversation include: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) originated in 1987 and integrates neurobiological and relational approaches. It is not a talk therapy but an experiential, highly structured method using bilateral stimulation (e.g. eye movements). The eight-phase protocol includes history taking, preparation, activation, desensitisation, installation, body scan, closure, and re-evaluation. EMDR enables clients to process traumatic memories without needing to disclose every detail to the therapist. Training is intensive and requires therapists to already be accredited and trauma-informed. Andrew will be offering an EMDR overview lecture inside the Counsellor CPD Library soon. EMDR Association UK AI and Plagiarism in Counselling Training [starts at 52:34 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss the impact of AI tools like ChatGPT on assignment writing and how to ethically and responsibly integrate technology into counselling education. Key points include: Assignments must be students' own work - AI-generated content must be clearly acknowledged and referenced. AI can be used as a planning or brainstorming tool, not as a substitute for personal reflection or lived experience. Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) guidance outlines AI use as malpractice if not transparently declared. Reflective and experiential elements of counselling training cannot be replicated by AI. Tutors are encouraged to explore diverse assessment methods beyond written essays to evaluate learning authentically. Academic correspondent Sarah Henry shares how relational, discussion-based, and observational assessment can complement or replace traditional formats.

S5:E33 In this episode of Small Biz Stories, Dr. LL sits down with Stephen Sakach, founder of aiCMO.io, to unpack how small businesses can use AI without losing the human, emotional core of their brand. Stephen has spent years sitting between technology, marketing and leadership — and he's using that experience to build an "AI CMO" that doesn't just spit out content, but helps founders think more clearly, act more ethically, and market more effectively. In this conversation, you'll learn: 00:06:16 – Why more tools isn't the answer, and how to put boundaries around tech so it serves your business instead of swallowing your time and attention. 00:08:33 – How to root your marketing in emotional truth (not just features and funnels) so customers actually feel the change your product creates. 00:11:40 – Stephen's vision for AI as a collaborator that nudges you toward better, more empathetic decisions instead of optimizing for profit at all costs. 00:13:15 – The hidden cost of saying you care about people and the planet in your messaging… while your behind-the-scenes behavior tells a different story. 00:19:12 – How to treat AI like a surfboard, not a life raft—using small experiments, feedback and data instead of gambling your whole marketing budget on hunches. If you've ever thought "I know I should be using AI and better marketing… but I don't want to become a robot or sound like everyone else," this episode is your blueprint.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Dan and Jason discuss the challenges and joys of the hunting season, including family dynamics, strategies for success, and the importance of enjoying the experience. They share personal stories, lessons learned from missed shots, and the ethical considerations of hunting decisions. The conversation also touches on the use of decoys, the significance of comfort in hunting gear, and reflections on the season as they look forward to future hunts. Takeaways: The hunting season presents both challenges and opportunities. Family dynamics can complicate holiday schedules. New beginnings, such as having a child, bring excitement. Hunting strategies evolve based on experiences and lessons learned. Enjoying the hunt is more important than the size of the deer. Family involvement enhances the hunting experience. Shifting focus from trophy hunting to enjoying the process is valuable. Understanding deer behavior is crucial for successful hunting. Using decoys can be an effective strategy in hunting. Ethical considerations in hunting decisions are important. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Craig A. Kaplan advocates for a transformative shift in how artificial intelligence is designed and integrated into society, urging the move from black-box, inscrutable models toward architectures founded on transparency and collective intelligence. Drawing from his experience in software quality, Kaplan emphasizes that integrating safety and ethical considerations into AI at the design stage is far more effective—and necessary—than relying on reactive fixes once systems are already in use. He envisions a future where AI systems are developed with built-in safeguards, operated through a democratic interplay of multiple agents, both human and artificial, ensuring their actions and decision-making processes are visible, auditable, and aligned with human values. Kaplan sees the current race to develop ever-more advanced AI as inevitable but contends that the most prudent and ultimately successful path involves combining safety, transparency, and economic incentive. He advocates for collective intelligence systems where the synergy between humans and machines can be harnessed not only for superior outcomes but also for embedding scalable ethical frameworks. By democratizing the implementation of values and ensuring that millions of human perspectives are built into the AI's operations, the risks of narrow, unrepresentative control are minimized, and the promise of beneficial superintelligence becomes far more attainable. For organizations and individuals seeking to be at the forefront of safe, effective, and ethical AI development, engaging with Kaplan's methods and vision can be transformative. To learn more about implementing collective intelligence designs for superintelligence, fostering transparency, and leading in the field of responsible AI, contact Dr. Craig Kaplan and iQ Company here.
