The culture of cover-up within British public institutions has devastated countless lives. From Hillsborough to the infected blood scandal to the Primodos drug tragedy, families have spent decades fighting for truth against a system where many in authority have colluded against them.This episode explores the urgent need for the Public Authority Accountability Bill - commonly known as Hillsborough Law - with two powerful voices leading the charge: Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester who first introduced the bill to Parliament in 2017, and Marie Lyon, Chair of the Association for Children Damaged by Pregnancy Hormone Tests.The bill would establish a legal duty of candour with criminal sanctions for officials who mislead or obstruct investigations. Equally crucial, it would ensure parity of legal funding at inquests, stopping the practice where public bodies hire top legal representation while families struggle with limited resources. As Burnham explains, "It has been too easy for authorities to cover up in this country and too hard for ordinary families to get to the truth."Marie Lyon shares the harrowing story of how pregnant women were prescribed Primodos - a drug containing synthetic hormones at 40 times the dose in contraceptive pills - despite evidence dating back to 1967 showing it caused birth defects. The decades-long cover-up reveals a disturbing pattern: public bodies prioritising financial considerations over human suffering.Despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer's commitment to enact the law before the 36th anniversary of Hillsborough, the deadline has passed. Campaigners remain vigilant against attempts to water down the legislation."The British government underestimates the strength of the British people because people do not give in and they keep fighting." says Burnham. https://hillsboroughlawnow.org/https://primodos.org/It's not possible to reply to “fan mail” so please contact me through my website angelawalkerreports.com Hi listener.

Send us a textA Canadian inventor successfully adapted a car to run on ammonia 40 years ago. Why did governments suppress this technology? Greg Vezina shares how ammonia could finally lead us to a hydrogen economy without building entirely new infrastructure.His journey began with a single car conversion in the 1980s that sparked four decades of advocacy for ammonia as a cleaner energy alternative. The chairman and CEO of Hydrofuel Canada shares how he successfully adapted a Chevrolet Impala to run on ammonia and drove it across Canada, only to face political roadblocks despite demonstrating the technology's viability.The most promising immediate applications for ammonia aren't personal vehicles but industrial sectors—cement production, heavy equipment, garbage collection, and shipping. Projects like the UK's Leeds initiative, with offshore wind generators producing ammonia on-site to fuel barges, demonstrate practical integration with existing systems.Beyond ammonia, Vezina's team is pioneering photochemistry—using light instead of heat for chemical processes—which could revolutionise hydrocarbon refining without carbon emissions. This breakthrough would allow continued use of existing infrastructure while eliminating pollution, offering a pragmatic transition pathway.Want to learn more about the future of clean energy? Visit hydrofuel.com and follow the developments being announced at the Canadian Hydrogen Conference. The energy revolution may not look exactly as we imagined—it might be powered by ammonia instead.Hi listener. I thought you might enjoy Don Anderson's podcast.

Send us a textMany young disabled adults are not fulfilling their potential because of a lack of government support. That's according to the founder of a charity that helps those young people achieve their ambitions. Jane Holmes set up Building for the Future because of her own experiences after her daughter, Kitty, was born 24 years ago. Building for the Future supports around 500 families but is running out of space and plans to expand by 2026 to better serve young adults transitioning from education. These young people often face isolation when care packages prove insufficient, leading parents in their 50s to abandon careers to provide necessary support. With the charity receiving no government funding and concerns about proposed cuts to disability benefits, Jane calls for longer-term thinking from policymakers.https://www.bftf.org.uk/Hi listener.

Jorge Salas-Guevara is the President and Founder of New Paths Expeditions (NPE); his journey began at a very young age when he had the fortune to spend his summers in the rugged beauty of Patagonia, where he embraced the role of a mountain and trekking guide. Such experiences ignited a lifelong commitment to adventure and exploration. These early ventures laid the groundwork for a unique career in travel, drawing the attention of premier travel brands in the U.S. and affording him the honor of learning from some of the world's most venerated expedition leaders.Jorge's professional path has been diverse and enriched by a variety of roles within one of the travel industry's largest conglomerates. From guiding, product development, and managing crises to training field staff and ensuring the safety of travel operations, developing new US travel brands, advising new and old local travel services, supervising the safety of planes and ships, and even designing and building expedition travel vessels. His contributions have been instrumental in enhancing travel experiences worldwide. His leadership skills were further recognized through his executive roles, including his tenure as CEO of one of the conglomerate's brands. Yet, it was his vision for a more intimate and insightful approach to travel that led to the founding of NPE, aiming to offer small-group expeditions that provide higher quantities and quality of content, and delve into the heart of nature and culture.With a solid educational background in Business Administration, focusing on travel operations, marketing, and finance at Cornell, Jorge has built NPE on the principle that attention to detail is paramount in creating unforgettable travel experiences. His hands-on approach in the field and continuous engagement with guests and destinations underscore his belief in the transformative power of travel.In addition to his leadership at NPE, Jorge Salas-Guevara is deeply commitment to conservation and community support. As the founder and president of two conservation organizations, he has been devoted to providing clean water to remote Amazon communities and helping wildlife conservation efforts in Africa and Asia. These initiatives are a testament to the holistic approach to travel at NPE—every expedition not only promises discovery and adventure but also contributes positively to the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.Jorge's contributions extend beyond business leadership to include wildlife and travel photography, where his work has been recognized and featured by notable institutions and publications, including Smithsonian, Wildlife Conservation Society, Nature Conservancy, among many others. This creative outlet not only reflects his appreciation for the natural world but also enhances the expeditions led by NPE, offering guests unique insights and memorable moments captured through his lens and lectures.When not exploring new destinations or leading expeditions, Jorge enjoys spending quality time with his daughter Josefina, exploring his passions for photography, writing, and cooking.Jorge's leadership at NPE is not just about guiding tours; it's about fostering a community of travelers eager to explore, learn, and connect with the world's most breathtaking landscapes and cultures. His story is one of dedication, expertise, and a sincere love for adventure that continues to inspire both the team at NPE and the guests who embark on journeys with us.https://npexpeditions.com/meet-our-team/

We unpack the rollback of diversity programs and protections for marginalised groups, exploring how these actions might shape corporate cultures in the UK and feed into broader societal attitudes.

Intergenerational trauma. It's something we talk about a lot here. The most common cycles we discuss are the patterns of keeping secrets and the patterns of shame. In this week's episode, you will hear a story about a cycle of NPEs.  When Bobbi became pregnant with her third child, she knew that was not in a position to care for another baby. She relinquished her child to a family member, but kept the specific circumstances around the birth a secret - most people thought she was a surrogate. Just a couple of years later, Bobbi was shocked when, long before consumer DNA testing, she learned that the man she'd believed was her biological father was not, and that both of her parents knew this secret her entire life. And then there was one more. Years later, when she took a consumer DNA test, Bobbi uncovered that her mother is also an NPE, upending another long believed story. I want to especially thank Bobbi for being open about her experience as a mother in this situation. She shares a vulnerable, honest, and empathetic perspective for all of us to consider. Thanks again to Bobbi for sharing her story. Bobbi's Book: Descendant Deception --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dnasurprises/support

Along with the information genetic testing can provide, it also delivers more questions and confusion. Alesia Weiss's own experience with an over-the-counter DNA kit in 2014 resulted in severe shock when she discovered that the man who'd raised her was not her genetic father. Learning the identity of her biological father took four long years of research and the news that he'd passed away years before her discovery will always be a profound source of sorrow for her.

But there really is a lot more to working with them than simply "setting a given url to run on a given schedule" (did you know it could be a CFC, for instance? Did you know about the cron time feature? Did you know about clustering scheduled tasks--even with ColdFusion Standard?). Besides there being more features than many may realize, there are also some common problems people face when running them, and there are tools and techniques to help with that.In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI) then more on those more advanced/easily missed features, as well as tools and techniques for solving common problems with them. We'll also explore configuration files and features for managing tasks. Finally we'll also cover ways CF scheduled tasks may NOT work well and discuss alternatives to them.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/302616793/?eventOrigin=group_events_list ICYMI - Online ColdFusion Meetup Group - "Getting Started with BoxLang Runtimes", with Luis Majano & Brad WoodBoxLang is a new application server released by Ortus Solutions.

Welcome to the Season 8 finale of DNA Surprises. In this episode, I'm joined by Deanna, who shares her NPE story. Deanna has experienced unspeakable amounts of hardship in her life, from abandonment to abuse to her DNA discovery. Her story is difficult - and powerful. You'll hear how she's still reckoning with the what-might-have-beens and the whys. You'll also learn how she's moving forward, including being the person she needed when she was younger. Thank you for sharing your story, Deanna.Register for the DNA Surprise Retreat by August 15 to guarantee your space!September 19-22, 2024 | Phoenix, AZSupport the Show.Reserve your space at the 2nd Annual DNA Surprise Retreat by August 15!September 19-22Phoenix, AZ Learn more at www.dnasurpriseretreat.com!Join the DNA Surprises Patreon community!

Every DNA Surprise is unique—the who, what, when, and why surrounding an NPE vary from person to person. Still, after nearly 100 interviews, I've noticed consistent themes in these stories. One of those themes is a complicated mother-child relationship. When Jennifer took her DNA test, she had no idea that her family tree would change forever. As it turns out, both her mother and grandmother had relationships with the same man, making Jennifer's aunts also her sisters, and her cousins also her nieces and nephews. To add some clarity here, this man is not Jennifer's grandfather - he is a man that her grandmother had an affair with, resulting in two of her aunts. She discusses how she's faced the shame and stigma of this complicated story, and how she's navigated her relationship with her mother.Jennifer and I spend quite a bit of time talking about the mother-daughter dynamic, and how she was able to radically accept their relationship for what it is - not what she wants it to be. If you're currently struggling with this part of your story, I hope this conversation helps you.Thank you to Jennifer for so openly sharing her feelings on this, as well as her story.Resources:Contact: 00jharris@gmail.comRegister for the DNA Surprise Retreat by August 15 to guarantee your space!September 19-22, 2024 | Phoenix, AZSupport the Show.Reserve your space at the 2nd Annual DNA Surprise Retreat by August 15!September 19-22Phoenix, AZ Learn more at www.dnasurpriseretreat.com!Join the DNA Surprises Patreon community!

DNA Surprises are confusing. They're confusing for the people they happen to as they try to make sense of newfound information. With so many characters, twists, and turns in each story, they're also confusing for people listening to DNA Surprises stories.This week's DNA surprise story is no exception. In fact, it features a triple-NPE. So before we begin, I'm going to break down who's who.Jessica grew up with a birth certificate dad, who she believed was her biological father. We'll refer to him as Dad 1. She will go on to tell us about her stepfather, who, after a series of events, becomes Bio Dad 2.  Her mother then reveals the truth, or so Jessica thinks - and she identifies Bio Dad 3. To be clear, none of these men are her biological father.Jessica shares the long and winding road she took to finally identifying her true biological father, with the help of an Ancestry DNA test and her detective skills. She also reveals how she's navigating a new relationship with her bio dad and an ethnicity shift that uprooted her from a strong Italian heritage. Thank you for sharing your story, Jessica.Support the Show.Reserve your space at the 2nd Annual DNA Surprise Retreat by August 15!September 19-22Phoenix, AZ Learn more at www.dnasurpriseretreat.com!Join the DNA Surprises Patreon community!

To paraphrase The Beatles, we get by with a little help from our friends. This is especially true when it comes to DNA Surprises. In this week's episode, coworkers Robyn and Ida share their NPE discoveries, which happened right around the same time. In fact, Robyn used her genealogy skills to identify Ida's father.They each reflect on their personal journeys and how they've supported each other as they navigate their emotions. While every journey is unique, Ida and Robyn share many similarities. Their biological fathers have accepted both and both have understanding and empathy for their mothers.Thank you to both Robyn and Ida for sharing your stories.Support the Show.Reserve your space at the 2nd Annual DNA Surprise Retreat, from September 19-22 in beautiful Phoenix, AZ.

DNA surprises rarely happen in a vacuum. So many of the people I speak to have experienced other traumas throughout their lives, long before sending off DNA tests. In this week's episode, Courtney shares how her mother's mental health struggles played a large part in her childhood. She knew she was adopted by her stepfather when she was young and grew up feeling abandoned and ignored by her biological father. As an adult, they began repairing their relationship, which led to them taking a DNA test. It's then that Courtney gets the surprise of her life and begins the search for her true biological father. Courtney's story is one of vulnerability, compassion, and a journey to radical acceptance.

Sometimes, after DNA surprises are revealed, our relationships with our raised parents become strained. Sometimes, this leads to estrangement. But for others, these surprises simply compound already strained relationships. When Dawn had her DNA surprise, she was already virtually no contact with her mother. In this week's episode, she shares why she initially made the decision to go little to no contact with her raised family, largely due to her mistreatment compared to her other siblings. She reveals why she took her DNA test to begin with, and how she finally learned the truth about her parentage. While Dawn's relationships with her raised family remain distant, she's built incredible relationships with her newfound step-siblings, who insist that had her biological father known about her, he would have loved and accepted her. Thank you for sharing your story, Dawn.
