What do you do with ministries that existed before the clear path? By the time you see the fruit of changed lives in your parish, it's likely that you will ask how you can help your non-clear path ministries serve the community's mission and goal to make disciples. In this fifth episode of the series How to Build a Clear Path to Discipleship (https://equip.archomaha.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Clear-Path-Explained-w-Graphics-Mar-2024.pdf), Nicole Cook and Kristi Preisman from St. Columbkille describe the process of alignment. They began by talking with their ministry leaders to understand roles, strengths, and areas in need of improvement. They determined how each ministry aligned with the overall mission of the parish and identified areas where ministries needed to adjust. Their goal was to ensure that each ministry at St. Columbkille plays a meaningful role in helping people connect with God and take their next steps in their faith journey.

Our episode this week was recorded during our StartUp Health Studio interviews at the recent HLTH conference in Las Vegas. At the event, a hot topic was how artificial intelligence, specifically generative AI, is going to fundamentally shift healthcare delivery. AI can help us comb through mountains of information and take action on data points that were previously hidden from view. But many people have a serious concern – even a fear – that AI will degrade the doctor-patient relationship and effectively dehumanize healthcare. Our two guests today both joined the StartUp Health community earlier in 2023. They are pushing back against that narrative and suggesting with their companies that AI and big data can be leveraged to re-humanize healthcare delivery. First we'll talk with Nicole Cook, the CEO & Founder of Alvee, who is on a health moonshot mission to use AI-driven solutions to promote health equity and improve health outcomes for all. Cook reminds us that doctors are spending an inordinate amount of their time with a patient tapping away at a screen. The status quo is not working, so can new patient data tools help? Can they bring the right information to the surface at the right time and the right way, so healthcare providers can get back to making eye contact with patients? What's Cook is building at Alvee is resonating, as she went on to win the HLTH Startup Pitch Competition. Next, we hear from Chris Turner, CEO and Co-founder at HealthBook+, who is attempting to create a fuller, more human picture of each patient using all available data including data from some nontraditional sources. HealthBook+ provides a simple-to-use, digital-first care platform which consolidates health data and keeps it private, as well as predicts conditions and recommends the next best health actions. If the top line story for this episode is how data and AI could be used to create a more human electronic health record, the secondary story is about who can benefit from this technology. Everyone's talking about social determinants of health. This idea that we need to address the non-medical drivers of health, like access to fresh food and transportation. Healthcare providers care about these issues but don't have the time or resources to analyze the data. That's where Alvee Health and HealthBook+ can come in. Providing a fuller, more human analysis of patient data means taking into account important barriers to care and getting smart about how to overcome them. So let's get into it.

Are you interested in how much the political system influences cities? Our summary today works with the article titled Planning the post-political city: exploring public participation in the contemporary Australian city from 2018 by Crystal Legacy, Nicole Cook, Dallas Rogers, and Kristian Ruming, published the Geographical Research journal. This is a great preparation for the discussion with the next interviewee, Dr Anthony Kent. Plus, since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the political constraints influencing cities and their futures. This article presents the investigation of informal and formal decisions and plannings and their effects on urban areas. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: The authoritative and expert-led technocratic planning and decision-making processes of the 20th century are changing for more inclusive and participatory ones. However, consensus-based politics and decision-making do not allow challenging questions and debates to establish the real better future for cities, so they need to embrace agonistic approaches. Perhaps, in the end, the most important feature of informal planning movements is not their size but their unique capacity to articulate urban futures that embrace a philosophy of equity within uncertain social and environmental futures. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: This special section examines the possibility of meaningful debate and contestation over urban decisions and futures in politically constrained contexts. In doing so, it moves with the post-political times: critically examining the proliferation of deliberative mechanisms; identifying the informal assemblages of diverse actors taking on new roles in urban socio-spatial justice; and illuminating the spaces where informal and formal planning processes meet. These questions are particularly pertinent for understanding the processes shaping Australian cities and public participation today. Connecting episodes that might interest you: No.078I - Interview with Ammon Beyerle about agonistic participation; No.108 - Interview with Dr Anthony Kent about how the political framework influences the city and its future; You can find the transcripts through this link.

We welcome back Nicole Cook, APRN and CNS to talk all about sepsis... and Nicole shares a personal story about sepsis we won't soon forget.
This week on Unreserved, meet some of the people changing Canada's notoriously harmful child welfare system. Darlene Keeper spent 18 years in Manitoba's foster care system. Her experience mirrors that of tens of thousands of Indigenous kids in care. But now, at age 28, she's earning a social work degree to one day help other young Indigenous people in the system. Mary Burton is a Sixties Scoop survivor and the guardian of her grandchildren, who were also in foster care. She's the executive director of Fearless R2W, an organization that helps parents in Winnipeg's North End neighbourhood reunite with their children. She's been advocating for families since she was in her 20s and calls this her “heart work.” Julie LaPorte's experience in the child welfare system, which includes losing her mother at 15, gives us insight into the impact of a child's apprehension on their whole family. Now 22, Julie is back in school with plans to open a healing centre one day and continue helping others who have gone through trauma and abuse. Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan is the first community to make use of federal legislation that gives jurisdiction of child and family services back to First Nations. Eva Coles and Nicole Cook are the CEO and associate CEO of the Chief Red Bear Children's Lodge, the child and family services agency on Cowesses. They're building a new system from scratch and tending to a “home fire” of community and connection to do so.

In the race to produce the world's most popular electric vehicle, Tesla shook the automotive industry to its core by bringing a Silicon Valley approach to car manufacturing. But to get to heaven, sometimes you have to walk through hell, and in the case of Tesla, that was “production hell.” According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, there was a “tiny” number of people who believed they would succeed. With the credibility (and future) of the whole company at stake, the Tesla team put in 16-hour days to hit the goal of making 5,000 Model 3's per week. In the midst of all this insanity, Nicole Cook accepts a role at Tesla as a Senior Technical Program Manager, moving across the country on a Sunday night and starting work that Monday morning in one of the most challenging ramp ups in the history of the automotive industry. How did Nicole handle the transition and the constant challenges she had to overcome?

“Basically if you thought of it, someone Japanese had thought of it before you and catered for it in some way” – three travelling planners discuss their initial impressions of Japanese cities. In this episode of This Must be the Place Elizabeth chats with two traveling companions - Helen Rowe, a transport planner, and Nicole Cook, a lecturer in urban geography – at the tail end of their short trip through Japan. They debrief in a tapas bar at Tokyo main station, amidst one of the many glistening expanses of shopping malls that make up commuter life in Japan and set to the soundtrack of adult contemporary music including “Everybody Plays the Fool”. The discussion isn’t based on any particular expertise on Japanese planning or any research on it – it’s just some initial impressions of the striking features of urban life in Japan. They cover off subways, bullet trains (suggested slogan for Australia – “bite the bullet train”), braille signage, urban agriculture, toilets, car parking, Kyoto’s lost trams, coffee vending machines, love hotels, piped-in street music, plastic food coverings, being uncomfortable to avoid causing offense, smoking laws, crime (lack thereof), criminal law (force thereof), and the mysterious etiquette of slippers. Aside from occasionally feeling like a buffoon and having trouble finding vegetarian food in Kyoto, Elizabeth now suffers from more than a little case of Japanese envy and has taken to unfavorably comparing everything in Australia to things in Japan. For an Australian Japan is a wonderfully topsy turvy world where, for example, it’s illegal to smoke outside but inside restaurants is OK, and instead of having to buy a parking space when you buy a house (because you might get a car) when you buy a car you have to prove you have a parking space in walking distance. If you know more about the topics feel free to correct us or offer explanations - for example, the piped-in Beatles music of Shibuya and the origins of urban agriculture.
The Green Bans and Gentrification by SoundMinds Radio In this episode, we take to the streets of Sydney. We meet public housing resident Barney Gardner at his house in the suburb of Millers Point, which is just under Sydney Harbour Bridge. I’ve spent a bit of time with Barney over the last couple of years, interviewing him for various research projects on inner city gentrification. Barney was born in Millers Point and has lived there all his life. In 2014, he was told he had to move out of his house and the neighbourhood. The public housing he was living in was being sold off. For most of the last two centuries Millers Point’s proximity to major wharves and maritime industries saw the place develop as a largely low-income, working class neighbourhood. In the early 1970s the ‘Green Bans’ saved the suburb from modernist redevelopment. We talk to Nicole Cook, a Lecturer at the University of Wollongong, about urban development in Sydney, and what the Green Bans teach us about Global Sydney. Nicole is a Lecturer in the School of Geography and Sustainable Communities at The University of Wollongong. Nicole is an urban geographer with research interests in urban governance, power and participation, social movement and resident activism, housing and home. Barney Gardner was born in Millers Point and has lived there all his life.

The former state secretary of the Builders Labourers Federation, Jack Mundey, in front of the Sirius building. Dean Lewins/AAPSydney’s iconic Sirius building was scheduled for demolition by the New South Wales government in 2015. The building – a prominent Australian example of brutalist architecture – contains 79 apartments for public housing tenants, and residents are furious that they are being moved on to make way for 250 luxury apartments at the gateway of the city. But this isn’t the first time a NSW government has targeted the Millers Point and Rocks areas for redevelopment. When the Askin government proposed development of the area in the late 1960s, residents’ groups formed an alliance with the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF). Through a series of co-ordinated strikes (or “green bans”), they worked to guarantee affordable housing and community spaces for generations of working-class and union families. Following in the BLF’s footsteps, the CFMEU and Unions NSW put a green ban on the Sirius site from September 2016. Dallas Rogers speaks with Nicole Cook, lecturer at the University of Wollongong, about what we can learn from the alliance between residents and unions in the 1970s and the lasting impact the green bans had on planning policy.

Take Me Home - Pet Adoption and Animal Rescue - Pets & Animals on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com)
Susan Daffron talks to Chase Inman and Nicole Cook from the Martinsville-Henry County SPCA in Southwest Virginia about two dogs who are available for adoption. Tattoo is a male neutered American Staffordshire Terrier mix with huge soulful brown eyes and a pretty reddish brown coat. He has a very round face, so he might have some bulldog in there somewhere too. Tattoos best canine buddy at the SPCA is another AmStaff mix named Elvira, who has a fawn-colored coat and white markings. These two wonderful dogs would fit in well in just about any home. The volunteer dog walkers all love these two friendly dogs -- fans and supporters range from elementary school age to retirees. Both Tattoo and Elvira are about two years old. The SPCA doesn't know too much about their history because they came into the SPCA from other facilities after being picked up as strays. If you're looking for all around great dogs who walk beautifully on leash, you won't find a nicer pair of dogs than Tattoo and Elvira!
