A hard truth: UK farming employs a tiny slice of the workforce yet carries a heavy share of workplace deaths. We don't say that to point fingers—we say it to spark action. This conversation gets practical about first aid on farms: what the law expects, what good looks like for a working farm, and how to build skills that actually stick when seconds matter.Emma Hann joins us with a rare blend of A&E, 111 and minor injuries experience, now delivering first aid training shaped for agriculture. We unpack the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 in plain English, then turn that into a simple plan: a needs assessment that considers lone working, visitors, children and ageing teams; well‑placed kits and a clean, private space; clear accident recording; and the right mix of training—from the three‑day First Aid at Work to one‑day essentials and paediatric options. We compare construction's safety culture with common farm habits and show how tiny changes—quad PPE, short inductions for contractors, a map to the nearest defib—pay back quickly.You'll hear the small decisions that change outcomes: cooling a burn for 20 minutes instead of “powering through,” cutting clothing to place defib pads without hesitation, and knowing that adult rescue breaths help while paediatric breaths are vital. We break down CPR basics, defibrillator access quirks, and the social barriers that mean women receive less CPR in public, along with ways to overcome them on farm. The goal is confidence, not perfection: call 999 fast, start compressions, fetch the defib, write it up, rest, and return stronger.If this episode helped you, share it with your team, map your nearest defibrillator tonight, and subscribe for more practical, no‑nonsense conversations for the UK dairy community.

Imagine being a teenager and seeing your friend collapse while on a jog. What would you do and how would you react?

This episode highlights why learning life-saving measures in school is so important.
What if the way we store data is shaping the planet's future? That thought has been on my mind ever since attending the IT Press Tour in Amsterdam, where I first connected with today's guest. With global data creation forecast to hit 510 zettabytes by 2030, and data centers already consuming staggering amounts of power, the conversation is no longer about whether change is needed but about how we approach it. Joining me on the podcast is Nicholas Stavrinou, co-founder of CompressionX, a company rethinking lossless compression. Nicholas shares how a mathematical paradox in a university notebook grew into a technology that promises faster, cheaper, and more sustainable data storage. His story takes us from leather-bound journals and napkin sketches to a working product that is already helping users cut their digital footprints by more than 90 percent. In our discussion, Nicholas explains why compression deserves a seat at the sustainability table, especially as AI and enterprise workloads generate unprecedented volumes of cold data that simply sit idle in storage. We talk about the real costs of data growth, from spiraling cloud bills to the hidden environmental toll of cooling data centers, and we explore whether smarter compression could give businesses an edge while also reducing emissions. Nicholas and his team are also taking this message beyond theory. After the IT Press Tour, they are heading to Big Data LDN at Olympia London, where Compression X will be presenting in the Data for Good theatre at 2:40pm on Wednesday, September 24, and welcoming visitors at stand G58. It's a reminder that sustainable infrastructure isn't just about grand new facilities or green energy projects; sometimes it starts with rethinking something as humble as a file format. As you listen, ask yourself: could compression be one of the simplest yet most overlooked ways to make digital life more efficient, affordable, and sustainable? ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

How can AI improve our healthcare industry? In this episode, Dr Emma Yhnell speaks to health informaticist and author Dr Charlotte Blease about the role AI could play in the future of medicine, from making it more accessible to helping lighten the hours of a burnt-out workforce. Healthcare systems around the world are under mounting pressure. Healthcare professionals are amongst the most overworked, with half of all US doctors being burnt out and 42% of UK doctors feeling unable to cope with their weekly workload. Studies show that burnout is linked to increased rates of error and harm, which in the medical industry could mean the difference between catching a diagnosis in time or risking a patient's life. But Dr Charlotte Blease argues that this need not be the case. It is time to thoughtfully implement the new technologies of our age to revolutionize the healthcare industry. AI can help us to overhaul a system that is reaching capacity and has the potential to change lives, both for doctors and their patients. Dr Charlotte Blease is a health informaticist with a background in philosophy. She has published more than 150 peer-reviewed journals and books on healthcare and is an Associate Professor at the Participatory eHealth and Health Data Research Group at Uppsala University and Researcher at Digital Psychiatry, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School. Her latest book is Dr Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail and How AI Could Save Lives.

The war on drugs is not just affecting the US population. In this episode, we're joined by Franco Iacomini, Latin America editor at Christianity Today, to discuss his recent article on how cartel violence is impacting churches in Mexico. In many rural communities, children are forcibly recruited into cartels, and for some, drug trafficking becomes the only viable path to economic survival. These heartbreaking realities are symptoms of a global war on drugs that fuels black markets and empowers violent organizations. Could legal regulation be the key to disrupting these cycles of harm?

Gil Harrington: Morgan Harrington Murdered and Dead for GoodIn her hands, Gil Harrington held both the abomination of her daughter'sgap-toothed skull, and the mother of her daughter's killer, blessing them both.The phone rang that bright October morning: "Hello, this is the Charlottesville Police Department calling. We've found your daughter's purse on the ground..." For exactly 100 nights, Gil Harrington and her family stumbled, agonized, and learned to function in the uncharted hell of the Missing. Twenty-year old beautiful college co-ed Morgan Harrington, chock-a-block full of potential and promise, had gone to a concert and vanished. This is the story of a devastated mother crawling out of blind grief to become America's most skilled huntress. With love, eloquence, and social media as her only weapons, Gil Harrington pursued her daughter's murderer for five years until he was unmasked as the marauding serial murderer, the Back to School Killer who had hidden in plain sight as a genial, lumbering Charlottesville, Virginia cabbie. Morgan's mother was so crucial in the pursuit of the Back-to-School Rapist and Killer, Jesse Matthew, that Crime Stoppers recognized Gil and her non-profit foundation, Help Save the Next Girl, in solving what prosecutors called "the Super Bowl of Crime Cases." But Gil Harrington, this mother of a murdered precious daughter, is something very different from an investigator. Hers is one of the rare, intimate voices needed in our world right now, when fear and hatred are rampant. Her voice marries the pragmatism of an incisive oncology nurse and the originality of an authentic, raw prose-poet to give the world the tool kit we all need to forge hope. Harrington's voice is joined by artist, Jane Lillian Vance, who attended Matthew's trials. Vance's essays witness Gil's grace, and the stunning alchemy of darkness into freedom.https://amzn.to/41eqoLRBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Episode Summary: In this riveting episode, host Chris Clarke covers the urgent issue threatening millions of acres of public land in the United States. Buried in what Chris calls the "Bloated Billionaire Bailout," a budget rider proposed by Senator Mike Lee targets up to 3 million acres of public lands for sale. These lands, managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, span 11 western states. Chris urges listeners to take action by calling their senators to stop this dangerous rider that undermines public access to these vital natural resources. Throughout the episode, a comprehensive discussion highlights the broader impacts of this potential land sale. Chris articulates how the rider threatens essential services, cultural survival, and the ecological balance of these desert lands. The discussion touches on contrasting visions for the use of public lands, with Mike Lee's push for privatization and development versus the preservation and conservation ethos championed by many environmentalists. Chris also outlines the economic dimensions of this conflict, emphasizing the potential loss of public use areas that provide significant recreational and environmental benefits to local communities. Key Takeaways: Legislative Threat: A budget rider by Mike Lee threatens to privatize millions of acres of public lands in western US states, including critical desert ecosystems. Conservation vs. Development:The episode explores the tension between conserving public lands for ecological, cultural, and recreational purposes versus commercial development and privatization. Call to Action: Chris Clarke urges listeners to contact their senators to oppose the rider and protect these invaluable public lands. Impactful Example: Tucson's Sabino Canyon serves as a hypothetical example of the possible negative outcomes from land privatization, jeopardizing local public access. Political Dynamics:There is bipartisan opposition to the rider, with some Republican senators indicating they cannot support a bill that includes this provision. Public pressure has led to some revisions of the original rider, but significant threats remain. Notable Quotes: 1. "We're talking about a public lands fire sale, and commercial interests are first in line." 2. "Mike Lee doesn't consider non-consumptive use as a real use of public lands. If it doesn't turn a profit, it doesn't count in his worldview." 3. "This would not be affordable housing... it's far more likely that housing built in Sabino Canyon would be extremely expensive." 4. "Our common heritage is threatened, and we've got to stop this rider from moving forward."

There has been a proposition to destroy important old growth forest on South Padre island in South Texas that is great for migratory birds. Here is how we can stop it from being destroyed. What you need to know, from Jusin LeClaire: "Perhaps the final battle to save the SPI Convention Center native habitat is coming this Tuesday.The SPI City Council has decided NOT to listen to the wills of thousands of their constituents. They are sticking with their latest plans to destroy the majority of native habitat at the Convention Center for the expansion project (see photo – at least half of the habitat on the south side of the property and within the driving loop will be removed). There is officially an agenda item (https://tinyurl.com/ac53j9j3) to seek approval for the CC expansion plans on the Cameron County Commissioners' Court meeting for this coming *Tuesday, June 17, at 930am*. They need a majority vote from the commissioners to move forward because the property is on county land. It sounds like Commissioners Garza, Benavides, and Ruiz may be on our side thanks to all of your support so far, but who knows what the truth is and what has been happening behind our backs. HOW TO HELP: Submit a public comment against the agenda item regardless if you can attend in person or not. Here's how- Download the “public comment registration form” https://tinyurl.com/4wy4nb7k. State your info, check the boxes to say that you are “against” agenda item 4-E and that you do not wish to address the commissioners, add a quick comment to say you are against any expansion that requires native habitat destruction at the SPI convention center, and email the form to publiccomment@co.cameron.tx.us BEFORE 845am on June 17. It'll take 10 minutes of your time, but enough emails against this agenda over the weekend may help push a majority of the commissioners in our direction. Please do also attend the meeting if you can.Feel free to send a/another email out to the commissioners themselves as well. Thanks for any and all help!

There is an urgent threat facing public media in the United States: a proposed federal budget cut that would not only threaten its future, but also "claw back" funding that's already been awarded to public television and radio stations across the country. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Adrian McIntyre opens with a personal anecdote about the impact of public media on his family, setting the stage for a critical discussion on the ramifications of potential funding cuts. Alice Ferris and Abbie Fink discuss the wide-ranging implications for communities that rely on the rich tapestry of content and services provided by public media. Defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will have far-reaching negative effects. Alice explains how public media also provides educational resources for classroom teachers and the national emergency alert system. She highlights the importance of localized storytelling and the unique programming offered by regional stations in rural and tribal areas. Contrary to the Trump Administration's claims, research shows that public media outlets like PBS and NPR are highly trusted and respected by the majority of Americans. Alice urges us all to reflect on our personal connections to public media and the pivotal role it plays in community and cultural education, and then to take action to voice our support. Here's what you can do RIGHT NOW: go to Protect My Public Media or the American Coalition for Public Radio, where you'll find fast, simple ways to contact your congressional representatives and urge them to save your public media stations. Key Takeaways Public media faces a significant threat due to proposed federal funding cuts that aim to reclaim previously allocated budgets. Public media is a vital national resource, offering educational tools and content to enrich classroom learning experiences, as well as the emergency alert system. Local public media stations, particularly in rural and underserved areas, would be severely impacted, risking the loss of crucial community-based programming and services. The defunding proposal is part of a larger attack on fact-based news reporting by the current administration, which perceives NPR and PBS as biased against the President--despite recent scientific studies proving their trustworthiness and value.

Paul Jay explores the growing danger of artificial intelligence not as an evil superintelligence but as a system reflecting the values of those who control it: corporate monopolies, military planners, and billionaires racing for dominance. Jay connects AI to nuclear weapons, Trump's so-called “Golden Dome,” and the broader logic of profit-driven power. But he also argues there's a different path—one grounded in public ownership, democratic oversight, and AI that serves human needs, not corporate greed.

CrowdScience listener Saoirse is vegan and doesn't eat honey. But she's been wondering - might honey actually have environmental benefits, by giving bee populations a boost? To find out, presenter Anand Jagatia dons a bee suit and opens up some hives with biologist Dave Goulson, who reveals that there are over 20,000 bee species on earth – and not all of them need saving. Honeybee researcher Alison Mcafee talks about the importance of beekeeping for crop pollination, and why honeybee colonies around the world are collapsing. Although, as she explains, in some places beekeeping might actually be bad for endangered wild bees. We travel to Kenya to meet Loise Njeru and Lucy King, who show how the humble honeybee can be a powerful tool for conservation – helping to protect the mighty elephant. And, on a rooftop in London, former beekeeper Alison Benjamin explains how we can support the wild bee species that need our help.

Since her birth in February, Asian baby elephant Tula-tu has become a star attraction at the Oregon Zoo. Asian elephants are endangered, with roughly 40,000 of them remaining in the wild, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. With all the attention Tula-tu has been getting, it’s easy to overlook the presence of Chendra, a Bornean elephant who has been in the zoo’s care for more than 25 years and whose relatives in the wild are even more at risk of extinction. Only about a thousand Bornean elephants remain, mostly in the forested northern tip of the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. For more than a decade, the Oregon Zoo has been supporting efforts to help save Bornean elephants. Last month, the zoo sponsored a symposium in Borneo attended by government officials; NGOs that are helping to protect habitat and reduce conflicts between people and elephants; representatives from the palm oil and tourism industries and other participants. At the symposium, the Sabah Wildlife Department launched a new plan co-developed by the Oregon Zoo to care for the growing number of calves and juvenile elephants that are being separated from their herds or found orphaned, like Chendra. Dr. Sharon Glaeser is the Oregon Zoo’s elephant conservation lead. She joins us with more details about the fight to save the world’s smallest elephant.
True leaders create space for individuals to be passionate about their work and feel a sense of ownership. Nobody wants to be managed, bossed or supervised. We must inspire creativity in our people. Those ideas are the backbone of a culture of continuous improvement and a culture where people feel like they matter. Michael Gelb is the author of books such as How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci and Innovate Like Edison. He has been applying the principles of genius thinking to personal, leadership and organizational development for more than 40 years. He has worked to inspire creativity in the workplace and his journey led him to our friend and Everybody Matters co-author, Raj Sisodia. Together, they wrote The Healing Organization: Awakening the Conscience of Business to Help Save the World. On this podcast, Michael talks about inspiration, creativity and how that leads to helping people in organizations feel like they matter.
