Thank you to Laramie Energy for their sponsorship of this Health and Hydrocarbons show.  Kim and Producer Steve discuss the continuation of the “transformation of our nation” in the Biden-Obama II administration. The assault on affordable, reliable, abundant and efficient energy, that allows people to thrive and prosper, will backfire as they play “Russian Roulette” before the mid-terms. Call your County Clerk to stop Secretary of State Griswold's emergency election rule; Griswold's authority to do this is questionable. Your attendance this Saturday, June 26th, for the services for WWII Marine Sgt. Stoddard at Mountain View Memorial Park 3016 Kalmia Ave Boulder would be most appreciated. Declared candidate for Governor 2022 Greg Lopez, Lopez22.com, is running to stop the progressive left and the destruction of personal rights in Colorado. The Legislative Session of 2021 was horrific and devastating to the hard-working people throughout the state. If he had been governor, Greg would have vetoed SB21-260, the huge “transportation” bill. Taxes disguised as fees, four new enterprises, minimal dollars going to roads and bridges are a few of his reasons. The present governor and state Democrat party are deficient in emotional intelligence as their agenda hurts the rural community the most. Greg believes Polis has two main themes: his climate change agenda and taking the water from the rural communities to benefit the urban Denver metro corridor. Guest Kathleen Sqamma, President of Western Energy Alliance, discusses with Kim the division between rural and urban America, centering on energy and food. Urban PBIs (Politicians, Bureaucrats and Interested Parties) have no connection with the land and the importance of how our food is grown, our meat is raised, and the energy sources that bring us our lifestyle. Instead, PBIs' environmental agenda will take us back to primitive times and our pocketbooks will suffer to just basic provide basic needs. That is, until the people fight back as we see today in recent elections in France and Switzerland. Native Americans working on the pipeline Line 3 have their construction equipment vandalized by environment activists as Biden is pressured to close the pipeline. “Familiarity breeds contempt.” The hatred of the progressive left aimed specifically at the heartland gives advantages to Russia as seen in the backing of Nord Stream 2 pipeline by the Biden/Harris/Rice/Obama administration. If U.S. reliable energy resources are shut down, Russia and the Middle East will see their markets increase. Americans do not like to be told what to do. They will make their voices heard in the 2022 elections.

**Trigger warning - this episode contains conversations about suicide** Episode 69  Improving the bereavement support for families of suicide victims.  When Matthew Smith was just 10 years old he lost his 19 year old brother Daniel to suicide. The subsequent years have seen Matthew and his family attempt to reconcile what happened to Daniel, and find a life after suicide. As part of that healing process, Matthew, along with his brother Ben and cousin Sarah decided to sell wristbands with the message if u care share printed on them at football clubs. In the process, they raised £50k for mental health charities.  From that was born If U care share, a mental health charity with three main aims: Prevention, intervention & support of those bereaved by suicide. The years since Daniel's death have been incredibly difficult for Matthew and his family, but they have used their lived experience to try and provide support and resources to families who tragically find themselves in the same position. Support and resources that weren't available to them back in 2005. Today's conversation focuses on the work that If U care share do, as well as how families come to terms with the suicide of a loved one.  To find out more about If U care share, head to their website https://www.ifucareshare.co.uk/ or you can call them on 0191 387 5661 If you enjoy this episode, or any of our other episodes, please pop over to apple podcasts, and give us a rating and a review.  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/man-marking/id1506661828 You can find us on Twitter @marking_man and don't forget to use the hashtag #WheresTheTalkingLads  If you have been affected by any of the themes discussed in today's episode, we have listed some organisations below who are there if you need to talk: Samaritans  Call 116 132 for free https://www.samaritans.org/ Papyrus UK Call 0800 068 41 41 Papyrus Website CALM ZONE 0800 58 58 58 https://www.thecalmzone.net/help/helpline/ MIND 0300 123 3393 https://www.mind.org.uk/ The Kaleidoscope Plus Group 0800 059 0123 https://www.kaleidoscopeplus.org.uk/

S 1218). 2) Til finansministeren af: Rune Lund Hvad er regeringens vurdering af faren for, at de stigende boligpriser vil bidrage til at udløse en ny finanskrise i Danmark? (Spm. nr. S 1236). 3) Til finansministeren af: Jens Henrik Thulesen Dahl Vil ministeren redegøre for, hvorfor 50 pct. af ikkeoffentlige velfærdsaktører ikke har fået del i de 3,6 mia. kr., der er udmøntet som kompensation for coronarelaterede merudgifter, og for, om regeringen vil foretage sig noget, i forhold til hvordan pengene skal forvaltes af kommunerne, og sikre, at der er gennemsigtighed, i forhold til hvor pengene havner? (Spm. nr. S 1248). 4) Til udenrigsministeren af: Karina Lorentzen Dehnhardt Vil udenrigsministeren oplyse, om regeringens holdning til, at Danmark skal tage et ansvar, når det gælder omsorgssvigtede børn, også gælder danske børn, der befinder sig uden for landets grænser? (Spm. nr. S 1233). 5) Til udenrigsministeren af: Anni Matthiesen Mener udenrigsministeren, at det er rimeligt over for landets rejseudbydere og de mange rejselystne danskere, at de efter mere end et år i usikkerhed fortsat ikke får en konkret udmelding med dato på, hvornår det er muligt at rejse til udvalgte rejsemål i eksempelvis andre europæiske lande? (Spm. nr. S 1238. Medspørger: Ulla Tørnæs (V)). 6) Til justitsministeren af: Ulla Tørnæs Hvornår forventer ministeren at en lejekontrakt til et dansk feriehus eller en campingplads kan betragtes som et anerkendelsesværdigt formål ved indrejse til Danmark, forudsat at der kan fremvises en negativ covid-19-test ved grænsen? (Spm. nr. S 1221. Medspørger: Anni Matthiesen (V)). 7) Til justitsministeren af: Ulla Tørnæs Er ministeren enig i, at fremvisning af en negativ covid-19-test ved grænsen er en god forudsætning for at forhindre smitte fra udenlandske lejere af danske feriehuse eller campingpladser? (Spm. nr. S 1222. Medspørger: Anni Matthiesen (V)). 8) Til justitsministeren af: Karina Lorentzen Dehnhardt Vil ministeren oplyse, hvad regeringens holdning er til, at sikkerhedstruslen mod Danmark vokser i stigende takt med, at de danske børn bliver siddende i lejrene i det nordøstlige Syrien, som PET og andre instanser under regeringen samstemmende har vurderet? (Spm. nr. S 1232). 9) Til justitsministeren af: Anni Matthiesen Er ministeren enig i, at det er urimelig vanskeligt for vores hårdt ramte turisme- og oplevelseserhverv at forberede og iværksætte en genåbning, når de ikke har modtaget nogen former for indikationer, retningslinjer eller tidshorisont på, hvornår vi igen kan byde udenlandske gæster velkommen over den danske grænse? (Spm. nr. S 1239 (omtrykt). Medspørger: Ulla Tørnæs (V)). 10) Til justitsministeren af: Mette Thiesen Hvad tænker ministeren om den seneste tids knivstikkerier og voldsepisoder i Nordsjælland?

S 1247). 11) Til klima-, energi- og forsyningsministeren af: Torsten Gejl På vegne af Fridays for Future Denmark og da vi, børnene og ungdommen har bedt, tigget og råbt om hjælp, fordi vi ved, at vores fremtid hænger i en tynd tråd, og vi er bange, vil vi ikke bede ministeren om at sige undskyld for at have prøvet at benægte, at regeringens nuværende klimaindsats langt fra er ambitiøs nok, som der står tydeligt i Klimarådets rapport, men i stedet spørge helt enkelt: Vil ministeren leve op til sit ansvar og love, at rapporten næste år vil vise et positivt billede af et Danmark, der lever op til sit klimaansvar, og vil ministeren herunder lave grønne genforhandlinger, følge eksperternes råd og anskueliggøre vejen til de 70 pct. i 2030 og dermed være med til at sikre vores fremtid? (Spm. nr. S 1230). 12) Til uddannelses- og forskningsministeren af: Jens Henrik Thulesen Dahl Har ministeren tænkt sig at tage initiativer til at sikre, at det danske sprog bliver fastholdt og styrket som et videnskabeligt sprog på de danske videregående uddannelser, og hvis ikke, hvorfor? (Spm. nr. S 1249). 13) Til erhvervsministeren af: Signe Munk Vil regeringen tage internationalt klimalederskab og stoppe for ny støtte til fossil energi gennem EKF og IFU? (Spm. nr. S 1205, skr. begr. Medspørger: Rasmus Nordqvist (SF)). 14) Til udlændinge- og integrationsministeren af: Morten Messerschmidt Kan ministeren forklare, hvorfor ministeren i undtagelsesbestemmelsen vedrørende, hvornår asylansøgere skal sendes til et tredjeland for at få deres sag behandlet, ikke har omtalt de internationale konventioner, når ministeren under spørgetiden den 17. marts har sagt, at det er dem, ministeren har haft i tankerne som undtagelser fra hovedreglen, og er ministeren enig i, at den undtagelsesbestemmelse, ministeren har foreslået, på ingen måde er begrænset til tilfælde, hvor det handler om internationale konventioner? (Spm. nr. S 1228). 15) Til udlændinge- og integrationsministeren af: Morten Messerschmidt Hvilke muligheder ser ministeren i at indføre en islamlov efter østrigsk model, hvor det både kræves, at imamer i Østrig taler tysk, og at de næsten 450 muslimske organisationer i Østrig udviser »en positiv tilgang til samfundet og staten«, hvis de fortsat ønsker en statslig licens, jf. artiklen »Østrig har vedtaget omstridt islamlov« i Jyllands-Posten den 25. februar 2015? (Spm. nr. S 1229). 16) Til udlændinge- og integrationsministeren af: Peter Skaarup Er det ministerens holdning, at kommuner, som Roskilde Kommune gør det, bør udlægge en grund med evighedskrav til en muslimsk gravplads? (Spm. nr. S 1242). 17) Til udlændinge- og integrationsministeren af: Peter Skaarup Mener ministeren, at Dansk Islamisk Begravelsesfond med den berygtede Taiba-moské skal kunne købe et stykke land til at anlægge en muslimsk gravplads? (Spm. nr. S 1243). 18) Til indenrigs- og boligministeren af: Ole Birk Olesen Vil ministeren iværksætte en undersøgelse af, hvilken type offentligt støttede boliger landet har fået med den lovgivning, som giver kommuner ret til at kræve op til 25 pct. almene boliger i nye byudviklingsområder, herunder hvilke huslejeniveauer boligerne har sammenlignet med markedslejen, og hvor lange ventetiderne er for at kunne leje boligerne? (Spm. nr. S 1227).

Recently, my heart is surging with tears in my eyes, when I watch over and over again the videos of high-level meetings between China and the United States in Alaska. This time, the world really heard the voice of China.     Before the talks, what was the calculation of the United States?As the world's poorest government, the United States' solution has always been to issue U.S. debt when it has no money, but the scale of U.S. debt has reached 28 trillion U.S. dollars, and bonds are becoming less and less demanded. 29 U.S. debt holders, including the United Kingdom, France, and Canada, all began to sell U.S. debt last year.Now the 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds cannot be sold at a discount, and the U.S. government can't even get the money to maintain the basic operations of the government unless it increases the robbery.If U.S. debt cannot be sold, there will be no dollars;without dollars, there will be no military expenditures;without military expenditures, aircraft carriers and military bases will be shut down;without warships, the United States will not be able to rob; if it cannot rob others, it will go bankrupt.China Explained will show you that because of China's continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don't be. China's rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years. Embrace the change and seize the opportunity.Creating original content is hard work, your support is what keeps me going. Please donate to this channel: paypal.me/ChinaExplained

We sit down (in person!!! it felt so good to have another human in the studio) with a longtime friend of Josh's, Pete.  Pete is an incredible dude with a rough story.  But this episode will move you.  This episode is the very heart of what we are looking for at IFU, a tragic story of brokenness but as we come into it we meet Pete who is the beautiful product of the brokenness.  He is finding healing daily, and still dealing with a lot of his past (as you will hear) but his outlook and hope for the future is a contagious thing you will want to grasp onto.  This ones a little longer but we had a lot of fun and there is a ton of story so buckle up and get going

We sit down with Catholic Priest Father Trevor Buster and discuss details of his life and why he see Priests as some of the most "effed up people there are".  This is a beautiful conversation with lots of laughs thrown in because Father Trevor is such a fun guy!  

A friend of Josh's from High School comes to share her story of recently escaping an increasingly abusive relationship.  We discuss her story, her escape, some resources for others in this situation and where Samantha is now and how she is starting to move forward.   Here are a list of resources she shared with us. YouTube: Dr. Ramani, Dr. Les Carter (Surviving Narcissism) BOOKS:  "Power: Surviving and Thriving after Narcissistic Abuse" by Shahide Arabi "The Christians Guide to No Contact" by Sister Renee Pittelli "Healing From Hidden Abuse" by Shannon Thomas "No Contact" by H.G.

The health benefits of seafood are well researched - eating more seafood can reduce the risks of chronic disease affecting many Americans today. The newly released Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage people to eat seafood at least twice a week, and includes first-time recommendations for babies and toddlers under two years old. While eating seafood is a good choice from a nutritional point of view, it is also a good choice from an environmental point of view: seafood is one of the most environmentally efficient ways to produce animal protein. Local seafood has lost its place at the table - more than 80% of the seafood consumed in the United States is produced abroad, and of that amount, about half is farmed seafood. Tune in to this episode with Paul Doremus, PhD, from NOAA Fisheries and Linda Cornish, MBA, from Seafood Nutrition Partnership to learn about: Seafood myths and barriers to consumption How the pandemic has impacted seafood consumption The many nutrients and health benefits seafood provides What the newly updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans say about seafood If U.S. seafood is sustainable and what that means If farmed fish is sustainable Resources for buying and cooking seafood Resources for health professionals How to join the #EatSeafoodAmerica movement Full shownotes and links to resources at www.SoundBitesRD.com/171

Few topics are as debated in Sterile Processing circles today as the topic of "event related sterility" and packaging shelf life. If packaging has a shelf life listed in the IFU, do you have to follow it -- or can hospitals decide to do their own thing? Does an extended period of storage constitute an "event"? How do manufacturers determine shelf life in the first place? The questions are endless, but on this week's episode of the Beyond Clean podcast we bring the dynamic duo of Jennifer Benolken and Malinda Elammari onto the show to start setting the record straight on some of the issues that confuse department personnel and accreditation surveyors alike. Season 9 episodes will be available for 5 CE credits at the end of the season. The quiz will be available August 24th with the final episode.

There are three different instructions for use that need to be considered when preparing a medical device for sterilization: the sterilizer, the medical device itself, and the packaging system. The FDA requires that medical devices be tested in just one type of packaging system and on this week’s release of the Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight Series, we speak with Barbara Ann Harmer about the maze that is instructions for use to help people understand which IFUs to use under which circumstances. How do validation and user verification work together to help you make the right decision and focus on best practices that result in patient safety? If you've ever debated this issue in your department, you're not going to want to miss this Vendor Spotlight episode so tune in now!   Learn more by visiting www.onetray.com, e-mail them at info@onetray.com  and look for educational information and ask questions directly on LinkedIn and Facebook.   #VendorSpotlight #InstructionsForUse #MedicalDevice #PackagingSystem #Sterilization #Validation #Verification #ONETRAY #SterileProcessing #BeyondClean #WeFightDirty #SPD #CS #MDR #SPS #Surgery

In this episode, Stephen Kovach introduces the ten factors of cleaning. Then, Stephen takes a deeper dive into the IFU as one of the factors of cleaning.

How many of you have ever read a brushing IFU for one of your instruments and wondered to yourself, "Who spends 60 seconds actually doing nothing by brushing the distal tip of this device?" Out of all the steps that could be skipped or short-circuited during manual cleaning, brushing is the most likely offender. We see it on a regular basis during onsite assessments, and if you have spent any time in an Endo or SPD department, you have likely seen non-compliant brushing as well. On this episode of Fighting Dirty, Hank gives a simple but hugely important encouragement: Don't rush the brush. Tune in and don't forget that every swipe of a bristle says "safety"... #FightingDirty #HankBalch #BeyondClean #WeFightDirty™

Kevin and Stephen Kovach discuss customer questions and feedback to previous episodes. Topics covered in this episode include knowing your ultrasonic IFU before you purchase, and how to manage your water quality.

There are many questions and often a critical level of misunderstanding about medical device validation so on this re-released throwback episode from Season 2, we went right to the source and interviewed validation expert Don Tumminelli, Senior Technical Manager, Client Services at HIGHPOWER Validation Testing and Lab Services. When a manufacturer designs a medical device, specifically a Class II device that requires 510K clearance by the FDA, they need an IFU that outlines how the device is to be safely cleaned and sterilized. Listen to Don talk about biocompatibility testing (compatible with the human body), sterilization validation and cleaning validation of the devices that sterile processing professionals work with and prepare every day for safe surgery. Do testing facilities such as this mimic the hospital setting? Listen now to find out!
