Podcast appearances and mentions of Graham Smith

GB2RS News Sunday the 22nd of February   The news headlines: RSGB 2026 Elections – Nominated Director candidates announced A year in numbers 2025 – a celebration of RSGB achievements Former RSGB President Colin Thomas, G3PSM, is now a Silent Key  In this year's RSGB elections, there are vacancies for two Nominated Directors. Following a rigorous selection process, the Society's Nominations Committee has chosen to put forward Graham Smith, G4NMD, and Patrick Wood, 2E0IFB, for endorsement. RSGB members will be able to vote to endorse these candidates when voting opens on Wednesday, the 18th of March. To help you learn more about the candidates, the RSGB has published two videos. The candidates weren't given the questions in advance and were interviewed separately. You can watch their in-depth answers in a single easy-to-view video, whilst the two-minute video provides their brief thoughts on RSGB membership. You can watch them on the RSGB YouTube channel and on its website at rsgb.org/candidates Amateur radio continues to evolve, and the RSGB, in turn, develops how it supports current radio amateurs and reaches out to new audiences. The RSGB General Manager, Steve Thomas, M1ACB, wrote his annual feature called ‘A year in numbers' for the March issue of RadCom. In it he shared some of the year's great achievements in which RSGB HQ staff have often led the way. Read the full feature and view the infographic on page 48 of the March edition. You can also see the highlights in a brief video on the RSGB YouTube channel at youtube.com/theRSGB It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Colin Thomas, G3PSM. Colin worked tirelessly for the RSGB and was President from 2008 to 2009. He made a great contribution to the acquisition and defence of the radio spectrum. Within Region 1, he played a leading role in the acquisition of additional bands, including 136kHz, 472kHz, allocations at 5MHz and the expansion of 7MHz. He also led the successful defence of existing allocations. IARU Region 1 radio amateurs owe him a huge debt. Colin was an Honorary Life Vice-President and a recipient of the Founder's trophy in recognition of his work both for the Society and for the IARU. A full tribute to Colin is being prepared for the RSGB website and for RadCom. The RSGB is reminding radio amateurs that the frequencies at 5MHz are only available on a secondary basis to holders of a UK Full amateur radio licence. Foundation and Intermediate licence holders are not allowed to operate on 5MHz. You can find details about this in the OFW611 amateur radio licence terms and conditions booklet, which is available from ofcom.org.uk, and there is also more information about operating on this band at rsgb.org/5mhz Are you passionate about attracting older people to amateur radio, while retaining and engaging our valued senior members?

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday, the 19th of February. We had a week of relatively low solar flux indices and mostly settled geomagnetic conditions. While the solar flux index fell to the 117 to 129 range, the Kp index was mostly in the twos and threes. This was after the weekend's geomagnetic disturbance, due to a large coronal hole that expelled solar plasma in a stream that moved past Earth at nearly 700 kilometres per second. As a result, HF conditions have been quite good with plenty of DX being worked. The KP5/NP3VI Desecheo Island DXpedition near Puerto Rico has been a struggle for many, due to its popularity and use of solar-powered batteries and low power. One quick hint: try FT8 on the 40m band around 7 to 7.30 am. You get a greyline enhancement at sunrise, but for much of Europe, the band is closing, which means there is little competition. Let us know how you get on. Other DX this week includes 8R1WA in Guyana. This is an Italian team operating until Friday, the 27th of February. Chuck will be active as VP2MCV on Montserrat and will be active in the ARRL DX CW Contest until the end of the month. Finally, a German team will be operating as J51A in Guinea-Bissau until mid-March. Another large solar coronal hole became Earth-facing on Friday, the 20th of February, so we may expect unsettled geomagnetic conditions from today, the 22nd. Next week, the Space Weather Prediction Centre forecasted a low solar flux index of 105 for yesterday, the 21st, before rising again to potentially reach 165 by the end of this month. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast for the 24th and 25th with an estimated Kp index of 5. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th of February saw afternoon openings on 50MHz to TZ1CE in Mali to generate DX interest. However, as expected, it was stations much further south that benefited from the best propagation, with just a few stations in the southern areas of the UK making QSOs on FT8. The present spell of unsettled weather remains the main theme for the period up to the end of the coming week. The pattern is controlled by a strong Atlantic jet stream, so ‘changeable' is the watchword with periods of heavy rain alternating with brighter showery interludes and, of course, quite strong winds at times. In terms of propagation, rain scatter is a clear favourite, although in one cloudy period in mild air around Tuesday the 24th, some possible tropo may show up for southern areas of the UK.  The meteor scatter options are again subject to random activity since we are still some way off the next important shower, the Lyrids, in late April.   The auroral prospects have, at best, been gently simmering at low values of the Kp index, mostly less than 5. Stay tuned, though, because we may see an uptick around Tuesday the 24th. So watch for signs of fluttery signals on the LF bands and then check for auroral tones on 10m and up through the 6 to 2m bands. These events are always a bit of a long shot, but should be worth checking this time. The sporadic-E season is still some way off, although a strong jet stream pattern is always a positive. For EME, Moon declination is positive and rising, meaning longer Moon windows and higher peak elevation. Path loss continues to fall as we approach perigee on Tuesday, the 24th. 144MHz sky noise starts the coming week low, rising to moderate towards the end. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

A very good morning to everyone from a blustery but pleasant Costa Blanca where we have the aftermath of these dangerous winds to contend with. I have just been discussing the UK news with Graham Smith. Here's today's question to the chat bot, 'Why do the Fabians want to change UK?'Logorithms AnswerThe Fabian Society is a long‑standing British political organisation, founded in 1884, whose goal has historically been to promote gradual, democratic social reform. When people say “the Fabians want to change the UK,” they're usually referring to this broader mission rather than a single, unified plan.Here's a clear, factual breakdown of what the Fabians have traditionally aimed for: What the Fabian Society is• A democratic socialist organisation.• Known for advocating incremental, non‑revolutionary change.• Influential in the early development of the Labour Party.• Home to a mix of thinkers, academics, and politicians.What they historically wanted to changeThe Fabians didn't push for sudden upheaval. Instead, they argued that society could be improved through slow, evidence‑based reforms. Their priorities have typically included:1. Reducing economic inequalityThey supported:• Progressive taxation• Expansion of public services• Social safety nets2. Strengthening workers' rightsThey advocated for:• Fair wages• Better working conditions• Collective bargaining3. Expanding public ownershipNot through nationalising everything at once, but through:• Municipal ownership (local services)• State involvement where it improved welfare4. Improving education and social mobilityThey believed education was key to a fairer society.5. Evidence‑based policymakingA hallmark of Fabian thinking is the idea that research and policy papers can gradually shape government decisions.

This is the fourth episode of Overcoming Polarisation: Paths to Common Ground, a podcast series from Debating Europe, Friends of Europe's citizen engagement unit. In this episode, we're discussing how citizens can influence climate policy. Europe is feeling fractured. Whether it's politics, climate, tech, or trust in institutions, more and more people are feeling left out, unheard, and uncertain about the future. But what if we could flip the script? What if instead of fuelling division, we looked for common ground? In this series, we're diving into the real issues behind polarisation. Economic inequality, climate anxiety, digital disruption, and bringing together voices from across the spectrum. From policymakers, activists, business leaders, and most importantly, citizens' voices via our latest study “Voices for Choices”. In today's show, former host Catarina Vila Nova sat down with Chloé Mikolajczak, an environmental and social justice activist bridging European policy and grassroots organising, to discuss the accessibility of a more sustainable life, inspiring figures driving a greener future, and the divide between citizens' desires and institutions' willingness to act. Host Sabina Șancu spoke with Graham Smith, professor of politics at the University of Westminster, about climate assemblies – a unique model for citizen participation in policymaking.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, has been reported to the Metropolitan Police by the anti-monarchy group Republic for allegedly using a false name, "Andrew Inverness," on official company documents. This accusation pertains to Naples Gold Ltd, a private investment firm he co-founded in 2002 with sports tycoon Johan Eliasch. Republic's chief executive, Graham Smith, contends that this act violates the Companies Act 2006, which mandates accurate disclosure of directorial identities. The Metropolitan Police have acknowledged the report and are currently assessing whether further action is warranted.This incident adds to a series of controversies surrounding Prince Andrew, including his associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and an alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo. Such actions not only reflect a disregard for legal standards but also undermine public trust in the integrity of the royal institution. The use of a pseudonym, especially one linked to his official title as Earl of Inverness, suggests an attempt to obscure his involvement in private financial ventures, raising questions about transparency and accountability. Given his history of questionable associations and decisions, this latest revelation further tarnishes his reputation and calls into question his judgment and adherence to ethical standards expected of a public figure.(commercial at 8:46)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew reported to the POLICE after 'using fake name' amid saga around private investments company | Daily Mail Online

Today Caroline Goldsmith, Associate Director of the Charleston Hub welcomes back Dr. Mark Hannell, who's the Vice President of Open Research at Digital Science and Founder of FigShare, along with Graham Smith, the Open Data Program Manager at Springer Nature.  In this episode, Dr. Mark Hannell and Graham Smith discuss the collaboration between Digital Science, FigShare, and Springer Nature on the State of Open Data report. They explore the purpose of the report, the methodology used, key findings, and the implications for researchers and stakeholders. The conversation emphasizes the importance of data sharing in academic publishing and the need for practical support and metrics to drive change in open data practices. Takeaways The State of Open Data report aims to understand researchers' attitudes towards open data. Survey data often reflects perceptions rather than actual practices. Quantitative analysis complements survey data to provide deeper insights. There are significant differences in data sharing practices across countries. Strong data policies from funders correlate with better data sharing. Education around open data principles is crucial for improving practices. The report highlights the need for practical support beyond policy mandates. Metrics for data sharing can incentivize researchers to share their data. Open data should be a standard expectation in research, not an exception. The findings of the report are openly available for public access.

Guest: Sarah Friar, former CEO of NextdoorSarah Friar has worked with some of the top leaders in Silicon Valley, including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, Block CEO Jack Dorsey, and most recently Nextdoor founder Nirav Tolia, who just replaced her as CEO in May. And one of the things that sets top performers apart from the rest, she argues, is their compassion and their responsiveness. When her former EA's husband was diagnosed with cancer, Sarah texted Benioff — who she had just left behind to work at Square — for help. Within seconds, she recalls, he arranged an appointment at UCSF. “That is an amazing moment of compassion,” she says, “where he did not need to take that time.” In this episode, Sarah and Joubin discuss public markets vs. VC, George Floyd, working with the board, singular focus, Goldman Sachs, being in “flow,” the freedom of not getting the thing you want, Walmart, Steph Curry, Graham Smith, Charlie Rose and Donald Trump, ugly babies, Elon Musk, Ladies Who Lunch, CNBC, commuting from home, white noise, “frequent Friars,” @TechEmails on Twitter, and the “zone of gratefulness.”Chapters:(02:04) - Why Sarah left Nextdoor (08:18) - The stock market and success (10:21) - Going through hell (14:48) - Life is not an A/B test (16:09) - Multiple tours of duty (19:21) - Ikigai (22:02) - Perfectionism and drive (25:54) - Sarah's next operating role (28:35) - Big transitions (30:35) - Personal burn rate (35:34) - “Are people gonna take my call?” (38:40) - Leaving Salesforce for Square (41:27) - Loyalty (45:33) - Leaving the right way (47:44) - Square and Swiss cheese companies (50:03) - Growth companies (52:38) - Apolitical workplaces (53:42) - Leaving Square (55:38) - Loneliness (57:18) - Daily routines (01:05:03) - Working on weekends (01:08:30) - Hyper-responsiveness (01:11:47) - Resumé virtues and eulogy virtues (01:15:33) - What “grit” means to Sarah Links:Connect with SarahTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

On this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob is speaking to 3 experts when it comes to the research and application of force plates, Phil Graham-Smith, Matt Jordan and Paul Read. The converation starts off with Phil diving into how we choose a force plate and what are our options to ensure we are choosing the right technology for our needs. Phil highlights the importance of having a clear objective when selecting force plates, as knowing what and why we are testing is crucial for effective usage. The experts discuss the benefits of using dual force plates for tracking asymmetries in athletes, which is particularly useful in rehabilitation scenarios. This approach not only helps in pinpointing discrepancies but also in enhancing overall performance by ensuring both sides are equally developed. Listeners will also discover the importance of instantaneous feedback and robust data analysis provided by force plate software. Such features are integral for integrating with other measurement devices and offer real-time insights that can dramatically influence training decisions. Jump mechanics are another focal point of the discussion, illustrating how jump height, ground contact time, and the duration of eccentric and concentric phases are pivotal metrics for measuring athlete fatigue and performance. Understanding these metrics within a standardized framework helps in effectively interpreting the data and making informed training adjustments. The podcast also covers practical techniques, such as the hands-on hips method, to ensure consistent and reliable data collection during jump tests. Furthermore, the discussion extends to how force plates can aid in classifying ACL injuries through detailed analysis of jump measures and mechanical variables, providing invaluable support in rehabilitation and training regimes. Towards the end of the podcast, the conversation shifts to the importance of selecting the most reliable metrics and avoiding those that are less consistent, such as the rate of force development. The experts stress focusing on metrics with a strong biological basis and high repeatability to ensure the data collected is both accurate and useful. This episode is an indispensable resource for coaches, athletes, and sports scientists eager to leverage advanced technology to enhance athletic performance and prevent injuries. Main talking points: Understand various force plate types for specific needs. Clearly define testing objectives for effective force plate use. When to and when not to monitor athlete asymmetries. Instant feedback, robust data analysis enhance training decisions. Measure athlete fatigue and performance with key metrics. Standardize data interpretation using a consistent framework. Force plates classify ACL injuries through jump analysis. Prioritize reliable metrics, avoid inconsistent rate of force development. Focus on metrics with strong biological basis, repeatability. Adjust training based on individual and sport-specific demands.

"We're helping people who've never grown crops before be successful farmers in places that they never thought they could.” —Alexander Olesen   Simplifying farming to provide more access to good food is becoming the new norm. With technology advancing the way it has, people are now able to grow their own food in spaces where they never thought were possible with fewer resources needed than traditional farming methods.    This was the idea behind Babylon Micro-Farms. It all began when co-founders Alexander Olesen and Graham Smith started working on automating most of the processes associated with indoor farming. Eventually, they came up with the idea to design a low-cost Micro-Farm™ by taking advantage of sustainable hydroponic farming and all its benefits. Their technology not only simplified crop production but made it more executable for everyone as well.    In this episode, Justine interviews Alexander about how this revolutionary technology is making an impact on agriculture, climate, and people's lives. Alexander also shares helpful business advice on keeping the momentum going, raising funds, the importance of having mentors, and how co-founders can work together to keep their businesses growing and thriving despite their differences.  Meet Alexander: Alexander Olesen is the CEO & Co-Founder of Babylon Micro Farms Inc., a company dedicated to bringing urban farming solutions to cities all over the world. He has become a well-respected Social Entrepreneur, presented at numerous keynotes and TEDx speaker events, and has become a respected Urban Agriculture Expert. He is passionate about building a more sustainable food system and is determined to make urban farming a reality for everyone through their Micro-Farms.   Website Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 01:21 What Are Micro-Farms?   05:44 Different Skillset, Same Passion 08:09 Business Advice 13:18 How Great Co-Founders Make It Work
