How can we prevent people misusing technology to harm others? This week, Technology Now investigates how technology can be used as a weapon against others. We ask how technology has been utilized by bad faith actors in this way and we examine whose responsibility it is to prevent this misuse of technology. Joanne O'Connor from HPE's cybersecurity organization and founder of Ireland's National Cyber Security Awareness Taskforce tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what can be learnt from it.About Joanne O'Connor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanne-oconnor-/?originalSubdomain=ieSources:Refuge, UK Charity: https://refuge.org.uk/news/refuge-calls-for-tech-facilitated-abuse-to-be-a-priority-in-government-vawg-strategy-following-the-charitys-inaugural-tech-safety-summit/Technology abuse in fast fashion: https://blog.policy.manchester.ac.uk/posts/2024/07/modern-slavery-and-digital-technology-in-fast-fashion-the-transparency-dividend/Snake Venom:Snake venom protection by a cocktail of varespladib and broadly neutralizing human antibodies, Glanville, Jacob et al., Cell, Volume 0, Issue 0, 10.1016/j.cell.2025.03.050 External Linkhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr5d0l7el36oHubble First Light:https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/overview/hubbles-first-light/https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/observatory/design/optics/hubbles-mirror-flaw/https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/overview/the-history-of-hubble/

Human trafficking is real. It's horrible. And it happens everywhere. It won't go away unless somebody does something about it.

Join me as I share about our recent mission trip to Pakistan, where my husband and I had the life-changing opportunity to help families break free from the grip of modern-day slavery in the brick kilns. Yes, slavery still exists—and it's heartbreaking. In this episode, I share the highs and lows, the resilience of those who endure unthinkable hardships, and the joy of watching them embrace freedom.This story isn't just for those interested in missions; it's for anyone who's ever felt trapped or hopeless. You'll find stories of unwavering hope, kindness, and deep faith. And the best part? You'll see how small acts of compassion can lead to profound change. I hope it inspires you to look at gratitude differently, to act, and maybe even join me one day on a trip like this.Are you ready to be uplifted, moved, and reminded of the beauty of human connection?

TNT Radio guest host Basil Valentine speaks with artist and peace activist Jason Liosatos, to discuss the British Government's clampdown on people's freedom and the importance of creating new communities whilst we still can. He also discusses the process of emancipation away from an Orwellian tyrannical government whose moral compass has vanished over the years. He goes on to describe what resistance should look like and how crucial it is to believe and thoughtfully act toward the creation of a new independent system to counteract the digital prison we are being hurdled into and various forms of punishment being used to secure the population's compliance including the fear of your fellow human being. More from Jason: JasonLiosatos.com Get a copy of Jason's book, "The Emergency Transformation of Human Beings"  ▶️ ATTENTION: The Patrick Henningsen Show MON-FRI will be on summer hiatus for the next few weeks.

As the vines on our homestead burst with the promise of table grapes, we're reminded that growth and abundance can be a touchstone in our lives. But it's in the stillness of prayer where we truly find our roots, asking for blessings upon our listeners and their loved ones, as well as the brave souls defending our nation. Today's conversation is a heartfelt call to rekindle your connection with God, to anchor your marriage in love and dedication, and to guide your children through life's tempests with the compass of faith. Join me as we explore what it means to truly prioritize the spiritual over the secular, emphasizing the empowerment that comes from a Bible in hand and a prayerful heart.The second part of our episode casts a light on the shadows of modern-day slavery, making a resounding call for justice that echoes from our nation's past to the urgency of today. We grapple with the harsh truths of abortion and sex trafficking, urging a reawakening of moral courage amongst our leaders and fellow citizens. This is an invitation to stand united under divine providence, committed to extending freedom's reach and the gospel's healing touch to every soul. Together, let's pledge to keep the conversation alive, promising to return to these pivotal issues with the hope of nurturing an America that upholds its highest ideals and cherishes every individual's God-given rights.Support the Show.The American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Josh and David open with a discussion about the lawsuit alleging that Alabama's prisons are engaging in modern-day slavery by forcing inmates to work for private companies and denying them parole to continue this forced labor. And they discuss the shooting of Steve Perkins by Decatur police and the lawsuits being filed in response, as well as calls for policy changes in policing. State Rep. Kenyatte Hassell zooms in to talk about the prison situation, voting rights, expanding absentee voting and making the process more efficient, and Democrats' plan to focus on voting rights in the upcoming 2024 Legislative Session.

Evon Benson-Idahosa is a Nigerian native, a leading expert, a thought leader on the subject of modern-day slavery in sub-Saharan Africa, and a founder of the Pathfinders Justice Initiative (PJI). Raised by parents who were called to serve their faith, Evon became a successful English barrister, American lawyer, and partner in a New York defense law firm. Despite her success, one day she woke up wondering, "What have I done with my life?" Her passion and compassion were calling out to her. That Monday, she left her job to become a full-time advocate. Moved by the plight of Nigerian women all over the world, Evon decided to address gender-based violence and the sexual exploitation of women. She founded Pathfinders Justice Initiative (PJI), a leading international impact organization dedicated to the prevention of sex slavery, sexual violence, the liberation of enslaved women and girls, and the eradication of its root causes. PJI has worked with governments, law enforcement, and communities to rescue and rehabilitate victims of human trafficking. They have also worked to raise awareness of the issue and to change the laws that enable human trafficking. Evon's work has had a profound impact on the lives of countless women and girls.  In this conversation with Jay, her journey to becoming an activist against modern-day slavery, and the power of one person to make a difference.

The Super Bowl is one the largest sporting events in the country. Tens of thousands will flock to the stadium and millions will watch from home. However, at events like these, it is essential we not only keep track of the game, but also, the potential victims of human trafficking that are most vulnerable at these large gatherings. In fact, every year 50 million people are trafficked somewhere in the world for either labor or sex. Joining Gloria on “The Gloria Purvis Podcast” is Sr. Anne Victory, a board member at U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking who has led efforts against human trafficking for over a decade. According to the U.S. Sisters Against Human trafficking, this crime, “occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will.” Sr. Anne describes the most common circumstances in which people get trafficked, profiles of traffickers, and what to look out for. If you suspect someone is being trafficked, please call (888) 373-7888. Even if you're not certain, Sr. Anne encourages you to report what you see and leave the investigation with local law enforcement who are specially trained for these cases: “just know that they'd rather have you report it and save someone's life than be wrong.” While the topic of human trafficking is dark, Sr. Anne continues to find hope in her work to end it. “I think one of the ways that I keep the faith is I've seen the difference since when we started fifteen years ago working on this. And now people are a little more aware,” says Sr. Anne, “Even becoming educated about it is doing something, becoming involved in fair trade and understanding what fair trade is and how our purchases make a difference, or how the stock we hold makes a difference.”   Links: U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking www.slaveryfootprint.org America's interview with Pope Francis Learn more about your ad choices.
