Podcasts about Gaps

As modern Britain is mired in confusion over its multicultural identity, growing Islamisation, and moral decline, surprising numbers of people are re-looking to Christianity as the country's foundation. But is Britain a Christian nation? Was it ever a Christian nation? What makes (or breaks) a Christian nation? What can churches and individuals do to work towards the Christianisation of Britain today? Is it a helpful term ... or a hindrance? In this special episode of Pod of the Gaps recorded live at the 2025 Cedarwood Festival, Aaron and Andy discuss these questions alongside special guest David Stretton-Downes, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Dr. Tom Curran asks Fr. Kurt Nagel: Did your seminary formation prepare you well for priesthood? What are some of the gifts and gaps in your seminary formation?

Hello to you listening in London, England!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for courage) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.It's true what they say: "A story grows in the gaps where the facts fall short." 47 and his cabal are exploiting the gaps to create cruel and obscene stories because they have no facts.Headlines that repeat 47's cruel and obscene stories like reign of terror, being on the eve of destruction, days of the dictator, subservience to the sociopath, and so on reinforce these stories. The more these stories are told without the counterbalance of truth, facts, good news, and how We the People are fighting back, the more these lies will take hold in our exhausted minds because these stories keep on gushing like torrents of water out of a broken fire hydrant.Hear me when I say this: I am no idiot. Treacherous times are alive and afoot. 47 and his criminally complicit cabinet, feckless GOP congress, and subservient SCOTUS on speed dial are after nothing short of the utter desecration of our country. So, We the People must continue to push back, show up, stand up, speak up, fight and ever fight!In the darkest days of World War II when all looked lost in the face of Nazi Germany's advance across Europe and the Dunkirk evacuation, Winston Churchill summoned the will of the British people against those odds.    His famous "We shall fight on the beaches" speech was a galvanizing address delivered to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940.Listen to a portion of history: “The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”Imagine the immense sacrifice and effort required of the British people to face the adversity and pummeling hardships of war. And yet, they did with courage and determination, with unwavering resolve to resist the Nazi threat, even to the last person, if necessary.If the British defeated the Nazis - against all odds - who are we not to follow in their footsteps and prevail against the enemy within our shores? We have no Churchill to summon us to battle; but we shall fight and we shall win because We the People are defying them and their obscenely hateful stories.Thank you for listening and making good trouble to liberate the land of the free and the home of the brave.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

In this episode, I talk about the importance of truly taking ownership in business. For me, that means understanding every part of the operation—not just the parts I enjoy or the ones I'm good at. I share some of my own experiences, like how waking up early has been a game-changer for my productivity and why being versatile as a business owner matters so much.I also take it back to my very first job in a sushi restaurant, where I learned lessons that still shape how I run my businesses today. At the core of this episode, I encourage you to look closely at your business, identify where the vulnerabilities are, and be proactive about fixing them. Success really comes down to knowing every element of your business and taking responsibility for it.

In this episode, John Byrne and Elliot Berman unpack a series of significant developments in banking, compliance, and enforcement. They begin with the White House's new executive order on “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” which aims to prevent what some call “debanking.” While positioned as a fairness measure, John and Elliot warn that it could weaken banks' ability to make independent, risk-based decisions, potentially increasing white-collar crime exposure. They note concerns over the subjective nature of risk scoring and parallels to the 2008–2010 financial crisis. Next, they spotlight the IRS-CI “CI-FIRST” program, a collaborative effort between financial institutions and the IRS's Criminal Investigation division to improve information sharing and streamline financial record requests. The recent CI-FIRST Executive Forum in Washington is seen as a model for effective public-private partnerships in combating financial crime. The discussion then turns to enforcement actions: Paxos Trust Company will pay $26.5 million to New York regulators for failing to properly vet Binance and for systemic AML program weaknesses, alongside a $22 million investment in compliance upgrades. The DOJ issued its first corporate FCPA action since resuming enforcement, with Liberty Mutual paying $4.7 million to resolve bribery allegations involving Indian state-owned banks. Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, pled guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy, tied to the $40 billion collapse of Terra USD and Luna, with a $19 million penalty and possible 12-year sentence. They also cover a Senate minority report critical of the administration's approach to Russian sanctions, arguing it undermines Ukraine's leverage and lacks consistent enforcement. The FACT Coalition emphasizes the need for tools like the Corporate Transparency Act to bolster sanctions' effectiveness. On the policy front, they discuss delays and staffing cuts affecting the State Department's annual human rights report and the pending trafficking in persons report—both key references for global human rights and anti-trafficking efforts.

Every generation loves to complain about the next one—lazy, entitled, wasting money on gadgets and brunch. But here's the truth: young adults today aren't just making different choices—they're playing a completely different financial game. In 1970, over half of 30-year-olds in America were married and owned a home. Today? Less than 15%. And it's not because everyone suddenly decided marriage and mortgages were overrated. It's the fallout from decades of policy decisions, wage stagnation, and skyrocketing costs that have made the old “American Dream” a whole lot harder to reach. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the real reasons why hitting financial milestones looks different now, and why “just work harder” is the worst advice you can give someone trying to buy a home in today's economy. You'll hear: The shocking drop in homeownership rates for 30-year-olds since the 1970s How wages, housing prices, and student debt have completely shifted the financial landscape Why avocado toast is not the problem (and what actually is) How generational misunderstanding keeps us from creating solutions that work Practical ways both older and younger generations can bridge the gap It's time to stop blaming brunch and start looking at the real math.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I highlight how the rapid rise of AI — without the right security in place — could be the biggest unseen threat to your business.Highlights00:03 — IBM's new "Cost of a Data Breach" report has revealed that while AI adoption is on the rise, AI security and governance are lagging significantly. Suja Viswesan, Vice President, Security and Runtime Products at IBM, explains that the data shows a gap between AI adoption and oversight already exists, and threat actors are starting to exploit it.00:57 — 13% of organizations reported breaches involving AI models or applications, while 8% of organizations were unsure if they had been compromised in this way. Among those surveyed who experienced a breach, 97% indicated that they had no AI access controls in place. As a result, 60% of AI-related security incidents led to compromised data, and 31% resulted in operational disruptions.01:56 — In contrast, organizations that utilize AI and automation in their security operations save an average of $1.9 million in breach costs and reduce the breach life cycle by approximately 80 days. However, it's important to remember that 16% of breaches still involve AI tools, primarily in phishing or deepfake impersonation attacks. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

James Keppel is the Founder and CEO of Sarana Health and a healthcare advocate for an integrated, wellness-focused approach to keeping people healthy instead of simply treating diseases. While the impacts of current policy changes and budget cuts in healthcare and medical research have yet to be seen, all indications point to widening gaps in serving rural populations and those with complex conditions. James encourages private industry to step up to innovate new models of healthcare delivery and financing, and to use AI and technology to support healthcare providers in providing personalized, continuous care. We talk about: Need to inform and influence the debate about healthcare policy Gaps in how traditional medicine addresses chronic conditions and preventative care Hot button issues like drug price transparency, telehealth, and nutrition benefit cuts How the smarter use of diagnostic tests to find early warning signs of disease benefits all stakeholders Growing frustration among healthcare providers and patients with the current healthcare system is creating an opportunity for innovative models to emerge #SaranaHealth #Healthcare #HealthcareCuts #RuralHealthcare #MedAI Sarana.Health

Steven and Shaun break down tools like Omnidescriber, Vidiscribe, and Pickybot—and debate the barriers around braille literacy, tech pricing, and whether a screen reader might serve you better in the long run.In this Friday edition of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun get into everything from public tech etiquette to powerful new tools for blind users looking to access video content. Shaun shares a personal story involving his Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, while Steven reveals his own “blind card” moments in public spaces. The two reflect on when—and how—using screen readers, voiceover, or audible notifications should be kept private.The core of the episode dives into video description software. Steven details his experience with Omnidescriber, a fully accessible Windows app that uses Gemini and OpenAI APIs to generate audio descriptions for videos. They also touch on Vidiscribe, Pickybot, and even the video feature in Seeing AI—comparing their functionality and accessibility pros and cons.The episode rounds out with powerful listener emails. One listener shares their excitement about learning braille and how tools like ChatGPT can now generate downloadable braille files. Another raises an important issue: are revolutionary tactile graphic devices like the Monarch really solving accessibility problems—or simply pricing people out?Steven and Shaun confront uncomfortable questions: Should braille training be more available through public education? Are braille advocates overselling its workplace value? And in the end, is learning a screen reader more practical for blind users than investing thousands in braille tech?Chapters00:00 - Introduction10:22 - Listener asks about apps that audio describe video content25:47 - Listener Dave asks how to find Double Tap on AntennaPod and how to use a computer without a mouse31:52 - Get in touch with Double Tap33:56 - Listener Trevor on various topics including the importance of braille45:36 - Listener Dan on tech that often feels so out of reach Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

Illinois has joined a multi-state federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's efforts to limit gender affirming care for young people. This comes as the fourth major hospital in Chicago rolls back the kind of care offered to patients under 19 years of age.

Reset learns more from Asher McMaher, executive director Trans Up Front Illinois who is coordinating this team, Dr. Jessica Lapinski, a physician at Outpatient Family Medicine Transformed who provides gender affirming care, Michelle Vallet, parent of a trans teen who works to foster understanding among allies, and Kristen Schorsch, WBEZ health care reporter.

Implementation Gaps in US Syringe Service Programs, 2022  JAMA  This study performed a cross-sectional analysis of the Syringe Services Programs in the US (SSPUS) dataset to determine implementation gaps. 613 syringe service programs (SSPs) included in the dataset were geocoded to county boundaries, which were then analyzed for urbanicity and SSP need (based on HCV mortality, HIV incidence, and drug overdose mortality). The study found that most high need counties did not have an SSP: 81.2% of high HCV need counties, 69.5% of high HIV need counties, and 75.7% of high overdose need counties did not have an SSP. SSPs were more commonly located in urban counties than suburban or rural counties. The study is limited in that not all SSPs are represented within the SSPUS database; however it highlights important implementation gaps.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Map the Deep Sea to protect what we don't yet understand. In this episode, Andrew Lewin speaks with Tim Kearns from Map the Gaps, a global initiative working to close the knowledge gap beneath the waves. With over 75% of the seafloor still unmapped in high resolution, the ocean remains Earth's final frontier—and unlocking its secrets is essential for biodiversity, disaster planning, and climate action. Ocean mapping is more than bathymetry. It's a tool for social justice, environmental stewardship, and informed decision-making. Tim shares how Map the Gaps supports small island nations, Indigenous communities, and global science efforts through collaboration and cutting-edge technology. From an exploration policy perspective, this conversation makes a clear case: mapping the deep sea is the foundation for a sustainable ocean future.

Why do many Christians today lose heart for evangelism? Are we fatigued by negative responses? Are we fearful of stepping outside our comfort zone? Do we overcomplicate it by listening too much to the "wisdom" of this world? In this special live episode recorded at Cedarwood Festival, Andy and Aaron are joined by Rev. Mark Greenwood, evangelism director for Elim Pentecostal Church, to wrestle through these questions. Mark shares some of his testimony, how it continues to inspire his approach to evangelism today, and how we can think through the challenges of evangelism on a more practical level.

How well do EMS teams manage critically ill pediatric patients—and how do we know? In this episode of the EMS Educator Podcast, hosts Rob Lawrence and Maia Dorsett speak with Mark Cicero, lead author of a landmark study published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study used simulation to assess EMS performance in pediatric emergencies. From medication dosing errors to missed fundamentals like cap refill checks, Dr. Cicero breaks down what the study revealed across more than 150 simulations in three states. Dr. Dorsett shares how the findings challenged her own assumptions as an educator and led to reflections on curriculum design, quality improvement, and the need for deliberate, high-frequency pediatric practice. They also explore the power of SIM Box—a free, low-tech, high-impact simulation toolkit—and how small, creative learning opportunities can help EMS clinicians gain confidence, accuracy, and readiness for rare but high-stakes pediatric calls. Whether you're a field provider, educator, or medical director, this episode offers practical insights and real tools to help build a system of pediatric care that's proactive, not reactive. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

Joel Smith speaks on 12 reasons why athletes and coaches may hit a plateau in their performance programs. These include: 1. Lack of stimulation in the training environment 2. Too much stimulation in the training environment 3. Not enough creativity or novelty 4. Lack of a clear plan 5. Too much weightlifting 6. Not enough weightlifting 7. Monotony from failing to wave training loads 8. A lack of representative play and exploration 9. Deficits in skill learning 10. Programs that feel too constricting 11. Athletes not feeling truly seen or heard 12.  Gaps in belief and motivation In this episode, we'll unpack these elements one by one, while also exploring practical methods coaches and athletes can use to break through these plateaus and unlock new levels of performance. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength. View more podcast episodes at the podcast homepage. (https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 1:10 – Lack of Stimulation in the Training Environment3:18 – Too Much Stimulation in the Training Environment6:00 – Not Enough Creativity or Novelty7:36 – Lack of a Clear Plan10:20 – Too Much Weightlifting12:12 – Not Enough Weightlifting13:44 – Monotony from Failing to Wave Training Loads16:00 – A Lack of Representative Play and Exploration18:25 – Deficits in Skill Learning20:47 – Programs That Feel Too Constricting23:00 – Athletes Not Feeling Truly Seen or Heard25:03 – Gaps in Belief and Motivation Actionable Takeaways Lack of Stimulation in the Training Environment – [1:10] Athletes disengage when training lacks challenge or relevance. Too many repetitive drills and static formats dull the nervous system and the mind. What to try: Use small-sided games or reactive drills to increase decision density. Rotate training environments or sensory constraints to create novelty. Avoid overly choreographed warmups—build something they have to solve. Too Much Stimulation in the Training Environment – [3:18] Overloading athletes with chaos, cues, or novelty can backfire. When there's too much going on, meaningful adaptation slows down. What to try: Balance open tasks with periods of focused repetition. Simplify instructions—set the environment, then observe. Know when to back off and give space for consolidation. Not Enough Creativity or Novelty – [6:00] Without moments of surprise or exploration, athletes stop learning. Creativity sparks engagement—and often, better movement solutions. What to try: Add odd objects, uneven surfaces, or unconventional constraints. Give athletes freedom within drills to explore variations. Don't aim for perfect reps—aim for meaningful reps. Lack of a Clear Plan – [7:36] Randomness without progression can feel chaotic. Athletes need to see where training is going—even if it's nonlinear. What to try: Cycle phases between creative exposure and focused refinement. Revisit key themes and skills, even in exploratory training. Share your intent—clarity builds trust. Too Much Weightlifting – [10:20] Lifting can become a crutch when it overshadows movement quality or reduces time for skill and game-speed work. What to try: Trim down barbell volume in favor of transfer-driven tasks. Use loaded movements that keep athletes grounded and aware. Ask: Is this lift enhancing or muting athleticism? Not Enough Weightlifting – [12:12] Some environments undervalue lifting altogether, leading to gaps in tissue tolerance and general strength. What to try: Use tempo and iso-based lifts to build coordination and robustness. Make lifting complementary, not competitive, with field work. Keep it simple—progressive resistance is still powerful when done well. Monotony from Failing to Wave Training Loads – [13:44]

Angelo Simao explains how MSPs can scale smarter with on-demand IT labor at GTIA ChannelCon “Don't go it alone… Let us fill those gaps.” — Angelo Simao, F2OnSite At GTIA's ChannelCon 2025 in Nashville, Angelo Simao, COO of F2OnSite, joined Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green to discuss a critical and often overlooked challenge in the channel: how to deliver IT services beyond your geographic footprint without the HR burden. F2OnSite offers “Labor as a Service”—a flexible and scalable solution for MSPs, system integrators, and large IT vendors that need expert hands and feet in the field, whether across the country or across hundreds of client sites. “Instead of flying your team across states, you call us,” said Simao. “We've been building a national technician network since 2007.” The model enables MSPs to extend their reach and capabilities without maintaining an in-house bench or enduring the cost and complexity of screening new talent for every job. With a vetted pool of thousands of technicians and hundreds of active W-2 staff, F2OnSite can deploy the right resource—by skill, region, and even environment fit—whether it's a single emergency call or a 600-site desktop rollout. “We're the silent partner,” Simao noted. “You may never see us, but we're helping you scale smarter.” As the labor market continues to tighten and IT skills become increasingly specialized, Simao urged MSPs to rethink how they handle project delivery and service calls. “Nobody can do it all. And when you're flooded with resumes and time is tight, we can help you focus on execution, not recruitment.” To learn more about how F2OnSite supports MSPs nationwide, visit f2onsite.com.
