However, a variety of Māori initiatives have faced substantial cuts. The Māori Development Fund has had $20 million cut over four years, $32.5 million has been cut from Māori housing initiatives, and $375.5 million cut to the Kāhui Ako programme.

Can joint Israeli-Palestinian health programs help build trust where politics have failed? According to a new paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the health care field can play a crucial role in building bridges between communities in conflict. Written by two Jewish Israeli and two Palestinian doctors during a period of temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the paper reviews 16 joint initiatives, highlighting in particular two programs: Road to Recovery and Physicians for Human Rights Israel. The authors also present recommendations on how cross-national health care programs can play a role in post-war peacebuilding.

Engler, Director of Chemistry for B&C and The Acta Group (Acta®), our consulting affiliate, the ever-expanding and complicated scope of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) regulation in the United States. We convened a webinar on this topic in mid-May and attracted a record-breaking 1000+ registrants, suggesting to us that PFAS continues to be a topic of enormous interest. In our discussion, Carla, Rich, and I address the federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) reporting obligation and the diverse constellation of state-specific reporting and product restrictions that are mushrooming around the country. Keeping up with these restrictions is important and increasingly diverse and thus challenging to track and with which to comply.

In this episode, Tracy explores how independent healthcare practice owners can leverage small wellness initiatives as powerful demonstrations of leadership. Against the backdrop of unprecedented challenges in healthcare—from high turnover to political pressures—she reveals how intentional wellness practices create disproportionate returns for small practices. Unlike large healthcare systems, small practices have a "leadership proximity advantage" that makes even modest wellness initiatives more effective. Tracy shares practical, low-cost approaches that strengthen team culture, improve retention, and ultimately create more sustainable practices. The episode highlights how leadership presence, rather than elaborate programs, is the true foundation of practice wellbeing.  Episode Highlights:  Why small practices have a distinct advantage in implementing effective wellness initiatives  A simple 20-minute weekly wellness activity that costs nothing but delivers remarkable results  Five mindset practices that integrate wellness into everyday leadership  How to measure the ROI of wellness initiatives through reduced absenteeism and improved engagement  The critical connection between a leader's own sustainable energy and team wellness  Memorable Quotes:  "Culture isn't a workshop we attend. It's about the example we set."  "The most successful practice owners know that wellness isn't about implementing a program—it's about investing in your most valuable asset: your people."  "Small, consistent wellness actions may seem insignificant compared to the daily operations of your practice, but they can completely redirect your practice culture."  "The practices that consistently outperform, even in challenging times, aren't necessarily the ones with the most resources—they're the ones led by owners who understand that how they show up matters more than what they say."  "You can't pour from an empty cup. The foundation of any successful team wellness initiative is your own sustainable energy as a leader."  Free Resource Mentioned: Download the Energy Audit workbook at PracticeSuccess.co/resources  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community.

In this episode we chat to Graham Grant, CEO of Seequent, world leaders in earth-modelling, analysis, data management and collaboration software. They help organisations to understand the underground, giving the confidence to make better decisions faster. Graham has a background in logistics and shipping and has been with Seequent for the past 13 years and is on the podcast today to talk about the company, technology, their recently launched open software platform Seequent Evo, talent and skills shortage in our industry and how they are adapting and what the mining industry can learn from other industries. KEY TAKEAWAYS Geoscience plays a crucial role in the mining industry by helping to identify valuable minerals underground. It involves complex processes that require accurate data collection and analysis to ensure economic extraction of resources. Sequent recently launched an open software platform called Sequent Evo, designed to address significant challenges in the mining industry, such as fragmented information systems and disconnected data. This cloud-native platform aims to enhance collaboration, drive automation, and facilitate faster decision-making. The mining industry is facing a significant skills gap due to a decline in new graduates entering geoscience programs and the retirement of experienced professionals. Initiatives like Visible Geology aim to engage younger audiences and promote interest in geology and mining careers. There are valuable lessons to be learned from other industries, such as oil and gas and civil infrastructure. For instance, the mining sector can benefit from adopting real-time downhole measurement techniques used in oil and gas to improve drilling efficiency and reduce costs. BEST MOMENTS "We are a software company that specialises in geosciences, and we're global leaders in that space... our HQ's in New Zealand, but we have around 800 staff in many countries, thousands of customers, and those customers span 150 countries around the world." "Mining companies are really cost sensitive... running operations cost effectively... we removed about 75% of all the repetitive tasks, which upped their employee productivity by about half." "We've got a massive skills gap coming in the next 10 to 20 years... if you talk to your average geologist, they didn't find their way into the industry because a careers advisor told them to." "We need innovative approaches, you need fresh thinking...

In this episode, we chat with Adam Oehlman, CEO of African Gold, an ASX-listed junior explorer who are exploring and developing a multi-million ounce potential at the Didievi Gold project in Côte d’Ivoire. With qualifications in Geology, Mineral and Energy Economics and an MBA, Adam is an experienced mining professional with a strong background in both technical and commercial roles, holding key positions at Northern Star, Hancock Prospecting, and Goldfields. At the helm of African Gold, he gives us an overview of the business, recent activities they have undertaken, and some of the challenges they have faced and overcome. He understands the importance of mentoring, so he will provide some advice to young professionals starting out and the value you should always be looking to give your employees and others you work alongside in the industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Young professionals should seek guidance from experienced individuals and actively pursue opportunities rather than waiting for them to come. African Gold operates in Cote d'Ivoire, a premier West African mining jurisdiction with strong infrastructure and support from existing mining companies. The company is focused on exploring and developing its Didievi Gold Project, which has a maiden inferred resource of 450,000 ounces. The company is currently executing a 10,000-meter drilling program aimed at expanding its resource base. Adam believes that the current resource is just the beginning, with the potential to exceed one million ounces. Adam highlights the company's commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. African Gold actively supports local communities, including educational programs and training for locals, to foster trust and demonstrate the benefits of mining. With gold prices at record highs, African Gold is well-positioned to capitalise on market conditions. The company plans to release a resource update and continue drilling to unlock additional resource zones, maintaining a steady flow of positive news for investors. BEST MOMENTS "I think you'd be crazy not to have a big focus on community and environment these days. It's a massive focus of us." "Every drill program we do, every hole we put in, there's gold in mind. It's not just drilling to test science; it's drilling to find answers and add shareholder value." "Cote d'Ivoire is just an absolutely lovely place. I've just been so surprised how welcoming the people are, how good the infrastructure is." "I always think people, you can probably live in your head a bit too much. So I think you probably need to think less and do more."

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The battle for religious freedom has reached new heights in Australia as New South Wales enacts legislation making it illegal to pray with someone about their sexuality—even if they explicitly request such prayer. Kurt Mahlburg, Australian writer and senior editor at The Daily Declaration, brings urgent clarity to this troubling development and its implications for believers worldwide.What sounds like dystopian fiction is now reality: Christians face potential criminal charges for practicing fundamental aspects of their faith. Yet amid this encroachment on religious liberty, something unexpected is happening. Young people across Western nations are rejecting progressive ideologies and returning to traditional values. Having witnessed the cultural chaos resulting from removing God from public life, many in Gen Z are seeking stability in time-tested principles. As Mahlburg notes, "Church attendance and belief in the Bible have essentially spiked in the younger generation" in both America and Britain.This generational shift suggests hope for cultural renewal through two pathways: spiritual revival in the traditional sense, and a grassroots return to conservative values among youth. Initiatives like the "Open Windows Letter" (where pastors pledge to defy unjust laws) and the "Australian Creed for Sexual Integrity" (uniting Christians across denominations) demonstrate that resistance is not only possible, but growing.Follow Kurt on X https://x.com/k_mahlburgRead "The future is conservative" By Kurt MahlburgRead Jack's Latest In Crisis Magazine: Young Men, Against All Odds, Are Awakening to the SacredPlease support our sponsored business:  Aim Utility Advisors TJ Lally |  630-990-3400 As a leading company in the energy sourcing and managementindustry, we are committed to empowering your business with efficient,sustainable, and cost-effective energy strategies.  Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgSupport the show

Gwen Preston, VP of Communication at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins us to review the achievements to date, including the completion of the Connection Drift and the final processing of the Bulk Sample this week at the Madsen Mine and Mill, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.   We start off reviewing that the test mining bulk sample has finished running through the mill this week, as the initial first step in the process of restarting production at the Madsen mine and processing center. The mill was started up on Monday March 10th after 28 months of maintained dry shutdown and finished this week.  The Company will now review the reconciliation of what the production grade and recovery assumptions were, versus what the recovered gold and revenues end up being and be releasing a report to the market next week.   Next we got into all the other mine restart activities well underway with the 185 employees and over 50 contractors busy with so many different initiatives and the camp being built and now housing workers. In addition to further underground definition drilling, another big milestone was the recent completion of the  underground connection drift which opens up an “underground highway” for the mining vehicles to easily access both portals without having to drive up on surface.   Gwen wraps us up with more information about how the company will use the funds from gold sold during this bulk sample to further ramp up the amount of ore that will be fed into the Madsen Mill starting later in Q2 and through the second half of the year, as operations ramp up to full commercial production later this year and moving into next year.     If you have any follow up questions for the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email us at Fleck@kereport.com  or  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is shareholder of West Red Lake Gold Mines at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from West Red Lake Gold

The Philadelphia Parking Authority has two new initiatives that could get you a ticket: Parking in loading zones beyond three minutes will cost money, and the law against stopping in bus lanes will be policed by cameras mounted on buses. Some Philadelphians are thrilled by this – they say the initiatives will keep traffic moving and people safe. Everyone else? Well they complained. To us. We sort through the opinions and get to an existential question about life in Philly for a new occasional series we're calling, “Whose Streets?” Are you angry about how we share – or don't share – our streets?
