The opening round of this year's TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship provided plenty of drama across the weekend. Kilmaley came back from the dead to snatch a one point victory against Ballyea, while newly promoted Wolfe Tones shared the spoils with reigning champions Feakle in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg. Clonlara laid down an early marker in the first game of the 2025 championship as they defeated 2024 beaten finalists Sixmilebridge by a point in their Group 1 encounter on Friday evening. The Bridge thought they'd secured a draw with an Alex Morey free in added time but a placed ball of their own from Cathal O'Connell claimed a 1-19 to 1-18 win for 2023 Canon Hamilton winners. The team that were defeated on that occasion are top of Group 1 after the opening weekend however, as Crusheen opened their account with a five point win over Doora/Barefield on a score of 23 points to 1-15. Inagh-Kilnamona sit atop Group 2 following the opening weekend of action after a convincing win over Corofin. The combo notched an impressive 31 points in their 13 point victory in Gurteen. Meanwhile, Clooney-Quin occupy second spot after Darragh McNamara raided for a late goal to defeat Broadford 1-18 to 2-12. Group 3 saw the meeting of the reigning Senior and Intermediate champions as Feakle and Wolfe Tones played out a 19 points to 1-16 draw. Darragh Lohan netted a second half penalty for the Shannon side early in the second half, while the county champions might have to contend with the loss of keeper Eibhear Quilligan who went off in the first half. Feakle boss Ger Conway says his side did well to hold onto a point given the number of injuries in his squad. In the other game in that group a red card for Luca Cleary didn't deter Éire Óg as they downed Newmarket on Fergus in Clarecastle. Darren O'Brien and Marco Cleary raised second half green flags en route to a 2-24 to 1-19 win. Kilmaley produced a remarkable comeback as they defeated Ballyea in Group 4. Two stunning Tony Kelly goals in the opening period looked to have given his side an insurmountable eleven point half time lead. However, spurred on by goals from Tommy Barry and Conor Cleary, Kilmaley gradually reeled in the 2022 champions before a Mikey O'Malley free sealed the most unlikely of comebacks. Kilmaley boss Brian Culbert says his sides's first 30 minutes left a lot to be desired and credited the victory to an increase in intensity. Cratloe, however, will head into the next round in pole position. They got the better of Scariff 1-24 to 1-21 in a thrilling encounter in Broadford. In the Premier Intermediate championship O'Callaghan's Mills and Tubber recorded wins in Group 1, while Clarecastle lead the way in Group 2 after they defeated Whitegate, while Ruan and Sixmilebridge played out a draw.

The Brothers Krynn return to share their fan fiction, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative.

On this week's episode of Top in Tech, Megan Stagman, Director, is joined by Fergus Cameron-Watt, Senior Associate, to unpack the UK government's recent spending review and its implications for the tech sector.

New Zealand's Fergus Gunn considers himself a very lucky man. He is still working in a job he loves, he has a great bunch of friends and a loving, close-knit family…and he's alive! Because on the day he rolled a 4WD while checking fences on the remote NT property of Brunette Downs, back in October 2015, it was only thanks to a series of ‘lucky' incidences that ‘Ferg' made it through the day. After being discovered by a fellow station worker, who then raised the alarm, Ferg's initial, lifesaving first aid was administered by a local vet. The RFDS would again save his life, by giving Fergus a blood transfusion in the field, before he could be airlifted to hospital. The story of this Jackaroo's remote station accident would make national headlines.***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

The Brothers Krynn return to share their fan fiction idea, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative.

Dr. Bill Ahearn joins me in Session 299 of Behavioral Observation. I met Bill a few times at conferences and I'm so glad we finally had a chance to sit down and record a podcast together. Bill is the Director of Research at The New England Center for Children. Long time listeners may recall that NECC sponsored a series of episodes, and in this podcast, we talked about some of the great research that has come out of that storied institution. As an aside, if you want to learn more about NECC, particularly working at NECC, you can find more information about that here. We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, including: Bill's early experiences as a grad student and clinician. His early work in addressing feeding problems. The research that he and his colleagues have conducted at NECC. How he construes stereotypic and self-injurious behavior as being forms of repetitive behavior. What he's learned about addressing stereotypy, including when and when not to intervene. We talk at length about Response Interruption and Redirection, particularly when it is and isn't necessary as an intervention. The behavioral interpretation of anxiety, and interventions that he and his team have brought to bear on related repertoires. I ask a few lighter questions on some topics of mutual interest (you'll have to listen towards the end to hear that). If you listen to nothing else from this podcast, towards the end of the show, Bill talks about why he is proud to be a Behavior Analyst. Please listen to that segment, as I think he makes some excellent points that are more than worth sharing. We also talked about tons of papers. I've done my best to track as many down as possible. Piazza et al. (2000). An evaluation of the effects of matched stimuli on behaviors maintained by automatic reinforcement. Rapp and Vollmer (2005). Stereotypy I: A review of behavioral assessment and treatment. Ahearn et al. (2007). Assessing and treating vocal stereotypy in children with autism. Colón et al. (2012).

The last two pages fold out into a giant panoramic look-and-find scene, where Fergus is well and truly hidden, and young readers can have fun looking for him and lots of other details in the the crowd.

The Brothers Krynn come back on the pod to share their fan fiction idea, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative. Each of these characters has a fully fleshed-out backstory with motivations that weave into but never contradict the events of the Prequels.  Want more energy and essential vitamins for your day but want to limit your caffeine intake?
