In episode 367 of The Physical Performance Show, sports physiotherapist Sue Mayes shares her expertise in foot and ankle injury management. With over 30 years of experience leading physiotherapy at the Australian Ballet and now a senior lecturer at La Trobe University, Sue provides groundbreaking insights into injury prevention and rehabilitation. Sue discusses her innovative research on ballet dancers and athletes, highlighting the importance of calf strength, strategic exercise implementation, and challenging traditional approaches to stretching. She reveals how implementing targeted calf raises reduced injury rates in professional dancers, and explains why prolonged stretching can be counterproductive. This episode offers a masterclass in foot and ankle assessment. Her practical advice spans from managing bone stress injuries to developing comprehensive rehabilitation strategies that support athletes' long-term performance and recovery.

Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! Today, I want to talk to you about an issue that has had me with a bee in my bonnet for a little while now,  and that is the large amount of time that many children spend in independent silent reading during literacy instruction. Now, my challenge with this is not that it is bad for children to read on their own; in fact, we know that there are positive impacts. Professor Pam Snow from La Trobe University often says that once children become proficient decoders, their independent reading has much to add to their vocabulary and language development. So I'm not here to tell you that reading is bad for kids. Quite the opposite.  But I will suggest that there are more efficient and effective ways that students can spend time during that block of the school day that is allocated as literacy instruction time.  For more information about today's episode, visit www.jocelynseamereducation.comQuick LinksJocelyn Seamer Education HomepageThe Resource RoomYoutube channelFacebook Page#jocelynseamereducation #literacy #bestpractice #earlyprimaryyears #primaryschool #primaryschools #primaryschoolteacher #earlyyearseducation #earlyyearseducator #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading #classroom #learning #learningisfun #studentsuccess #studentsupport #teacherlife #theresourceroom #theevergreenteacher #upperprimary #upperprimaryteacher #thestructuredliteracypodcast #phoneme #grapheme #phonics #syntheticphonics

As Crassus gathered more power and wealth his success was aided by two allies. One, Julius Caesar, had received financial aid from Crassus for many years. The other, Pompeius Magnus, was at the best of times a bitter rival. Together they formed the triumvirate - more powerful together than apart. Episode CCXLI (241) Part III of Crassus Guest: Assoc.

ACL surgery has come a long way since the early days of acute open repair to modern-day ACL reconstruction. Still, in spite of our advancements in knowledge, technique, and technology, graft rupture as well as contralateral ACL injury remain a concern for patients and their Sports Medicine providers. Well-renowned for her body of work in ACL research, Dr. Kate Webster, PhD from La Trobe University joins us to discuss her team's recent study on the long-term survival of ACL autografts and contralateral ACL ruptures over a 10-year follow up period. These ACL re-injury rates illustrate that, while we have made great strides over the decades, there is still room for improvement.

Financial markets have steadied in the past two weeks - the S&P 500 on Friday posted its longest winning streak in two decades - amid signs that talks with Asian nations are progressing and trade tensions between China and the US are thawing. President Donald Trump also said in an interview Sunday that he's willing to lower the tariff on Chinese imports to spur trade. Sentiment is also being supported after robust US jobs data alleviated concerns of a deep US recession. We hear from Kerry Craig, Global Market Strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management. He speaks to Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts. Plus - Prime Minister Anthony Albanese won a significant victory for his center-left Labor Party on Saturday, becoming the first Australian leader to win consecutive elections in over two decades.

In our latest podcast, Dr Megan Cook of La Trobe University discusses alcohol's overlooked environmental impact. Dr Cook explores how alcohol production exacerbates climate harms, from water scarcity to packaging waste, and highlights the industry's "greenwashing" through corporate social responsibility campaigns. She argues that:"If we reduce alcohol consumption for health reasons, that's going to have climate benefits. And if we reduce consumption for climate reasons, that's going to have health benefits too."We also discussed a recent report from the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) and Zero Carbon Forum, which looked at the risk of climate change to the UK's beer production. In a news article publicising the report, it stated that:“Concern was also raised in the report that crops may be prioritised for food rather than brewing, which would risk livelihoods across the supply chain.” This is a public episode.

In the tales of Hollywood Crassus will always be the antagonist to the slave hero Spartacus, but is that how would he see himself? A war against slaves is something that no self respecting Roman would like to be pushed into. And yet here we are. Episode CCXL (240) Part II of Crassus Guest: Assoc.

It was a deep honour to engage in a conversation with Eamon about his Chapter, The Role of Speech Pathology in Education: My Journey. Eamon generously shared the following points and more:- His career path (work in early intervention, education, and his current position at La Trobe University - an Academic Intern for Science of Language and Reading Lab)- The moment he was introduced to the world of literacy and the navigation of a speech pathologist's role within that- The subjects he is teaching at La Trobe and research he is supervising. An additional note from Eamon included: A quote from Tiffany Hogan's 2025 AIM Institute Research to Practice Symposium presentation – “it's the role of the system to create the conditions for evidence based practice to occur”. I think this is obviously true of how the system can support professionals within schools to experience success, but also the professionals providing services to schools (e.g. speech pathologists). We need to think about how speech pathology services can be effective within an MTSS framework of service delivery. We want to set speech pathologists up to be collaborative, effective and efficient in their work within Education.Eamon can be contacted on:Twitter (x) - @EamonGCharlesLinkedIn - Eamon Charlese.charles@latrobe.edu.auPlease share this conversation with educators, speech pathologists, and others that may resonate.

Hip arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure in athletes and active people, and it's not surprising that this clinical population is focused on returning to sport. Today, Dr Matthew King, physiotherapist and Senior Lecturer from La Trobe University's Discipline of Physiotherapy in Melbourne, Australia, discussed return to sport outcomes after hip arthroscopy. Dr King led a team that synthesised and analysed return to sport outcomes after hip arthroscopy from 45 studies and over 5000 participants. The team's focus was on sex and gender differences, and how the return to sport outcomes change with increasing time after surgery. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Are women less likely to return to sport compared to men following hip arthroscopy?

Emeritus Professor, Geo. Cumming from La Trobe University in Australia joins Mark Leishman. 

The simple act of dinner took on a new dimension for the Emperors. In an place where every meal could be a performance, an Emperor used the chance to reward and impress, intimidate and strike fear, and sometimes all at once. Having dinner with the Emperor was always a great honour, but sometimes you were risking your life. Episode CCXXXVIII (238) Guest: Professor Mary Beard (Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University)

For the Romans the simple act of dinner was so much more than a meal. It was an opportunity to socialise and do business, to see and be seen, and in some cases just to show off. Like everything it is steeped in protocol and tradition, but ultimately it emphasised spending time with others - as every good meal should. Episode CCXXXVII (237) Guest: Associate Professor Rhiannon Evans (Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University)

Historian, Professor Clare Wright tells the story of a formative moment — before the Mabo decision — in Australia's democracy that you may not have heard of.Historian Clare Wright moved her family to Yirrkala in North-East Arnhem land in 2010. She became a part of the Yolngu community and kept in touch after the family returned to Melbourne.Little by little, Clare learned about an extraordinary moment in Australian history, when Yolngu people used their artwork and their language, Yolngu Matha to petition the Federal government over a planned bauxite mine on their traditional lands.The bark petitions were not sent in the traditional sense, pleading up to an authority, but rather asserted Yolngu custodianship of the land, and spoke as equal partners to the Australian government.This episode of Conversations touches on Indigenous stories, Yolngu, Yirrkala, Australian democracy, the Bark Petitions, Naku Dharuk, Yolngu Matha, mining, the Australian Government, Menzies, Kim Beazley Snr.

A new device is expected to save Australia's wine producers hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Researchers in Melbourne have developed a smoke sensor can determine whether grapes are still salvageable after being exposed to smoke and fire. Wine Industry Smoke Detectors track smoke events like bushfires and burn offs around vineyards and advise winegrowers as to whether it's likely to taint their grapes. LA Trobe University Researcher Ian Porter told Mike Hosking all they want is for growers to avoid the emotional and financial stress from smoke events. He says that in 2020, they lost $500 million worth of grapes, and they could have saved a lot if they'd had this technology. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unrest in South Korea is developing quickly. In December President Yoon Suk-yeol declared a short lived martial law. He has since been impeached, removed from office and arrested after weeks of evading arrest, potentially to face charges of insurrection. The political turmoil has shaken South Korea, where Yoon Suk-yeol has popular support. What were the events that led to this political juncture? What could it mean for South Korea and a potential election? Could the unrest have implications for the wider Asian region?

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Tazin Abdullah speaks with Dr. Gerald Roche, Associate Professor in the Department of Politics, Media, and Philosophy at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia and head of research for the Linguistic Justice Foundation. Tazin and Gerald discuss his research into language oppression and focus on his recent book The Politics of Language Oppression in Tibet (Cornell UP, 2024). In The Politics of Language Oppression in Tibet, Gerald Roche sheds light on a global crisis of linguistic diversity that will see at least half of the world's languages disappear this century. Roche explores the erosion of linguistic diversity through a study of a community on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau in the People's Republic of China. Manegacha is but one of the sixty minority languages in Tibet and is spoken by about 8,000 people who are otherwise mostly indistinguishable from the Tibetan communities surrounding them. Recently, many in these communities have switched to speaking Tibetan, and Manegacha faces an uncertain future. The author uses the Manegacha case to show how linguistic diversity across Tibet is collapsing under assimilatory state policies. He looks at how global advocacy networks inadequately acknowledge this issue, highlighting the complex politics of language in an inter-connected world. The Politics of Language Oppression in Tibet broadens our understanding of Tibet and China, the crisis of global linguistic diversity, and the radical changes needed to address this crisis.

Roche explores the erosion of linguistic diversity through a study of a community on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau in the People's Republic of China. Manegacha is but one of the sixty minority languages in Tibet and is spoken by about 8,000 people who are otherwise mostly indistinguishable from the Tibetan communities surrounding them. Recently, many in these communities have switched to speaking Tibetan, and Manegacha faces an uncertain future. The author uses the Manegacha case to show how linguistic diversity across Tibet is collapsing under assimilatory state policies. He looks at how global advocacy networks inadequately acknowledge this issue, highlighting the complex politics of language in an inter-connected world. The Politics of Language Oppression in Tibet broadens our understanding of Tibet and China, the crisis of global linguistic diversity, and the radical changes needed to address this crisis.

Ahmad emphasized that while RBAC has served as the backbone of organizational security for decades, its centralized nature and limitations in cross-domain applications necessitate the shift to ABAC. He also highlighted a critical aspect of his research: leveraging cryptographic primitives like attribute-based group signatures to enhance security and privacy while enabling decentralization without relying on blockchain.Sean and Ahmad explored the technical and operational implications of ABAC. Ahmad described how this model uses user attributes—such as location, role, and organizational details—to determine access permissions dynamically. This contrasts with RBAC's reliance on predefined roles, which can lead to rule exploitation and administrative inefficiencies.Ahmad also discussed practical applications, including secure digital health systems, enterprise environments, and even e-voting platforms. One innovative feature of his approach is "attribute anonymity," which ensures sensitive information remains private, even in peer-to-peer or decentralized setups. For example, he described how his system could validate an individual's age for accessing a service without revealing personal data—a critical step toward minimizing data exposure.The conversation expanded into challenges organizations face in adopting ABAC, particularly the cost and complexity of transitioning from entrenched RBAC systems. Ahmad stressed the importance of education and collaboration with governments and industry players to operationalize ABAC and other decentralized models.The episode closed with Ahmad reflecting on the robust feedback and collaboration opportunities he encountered at the conference, underscoring the growing interest in decentralized and privacy-preserving solutions within the cybersecurity industry. Ahmad's research has attracted attention globally, with plans to further develop and implement these models in Australia and beyond.Listeners are encouraged to follow Ahmad's work and connect via LinkedIn to stay informed about these transformative approaches to cybersecurity.____________________________This Episode's SponsorsThreatlocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Australian Cyber Conference 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/australian-cyber-conference-melbourne-2024-cybersecurity-event-coverage-in-australiaBe sure to share and subscribe!____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-cybersecurity-society-humanity-conference-and-event-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?Learn More
