This conversation features an interview with Hilke Schellman, author of "The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted, Fired, and Why We Need to Fight Back Now." The host, Nola Simon, shares her personal experiences and concerns about AI in hiring processes, which led her to Schellmann's work. Key points discussed include: The increasing use of AI in hiring processes, especially for high-turnover positions. Potential biases and inaccuracies in AI hiring tools, such as: Favoring certain names or keywords unrelated to job performance Misinterpreting data and making incorrect inferences Potentially replicating existing workforce inequities Lack of transparency and oversight in AI hiring systems, with many companies unaware of how their tools actually make decisions. The need for thorough testing and scrutiny of AI hiring tools to ensure fairness and effectiveness. Concerns about how AI might disadvantage certain groups, including immigrants, non-native English speakers, and those with speech differences. The tension between efficiency in hiring processes and finding the most qualified candidates. The importance of accountability and responsible use of AI in hiring practices. Key Questions Raised: - How accurate and fair are AI hiring tools really? - What data are these systems using to make decisions? - How can job seekers know if AI is being used to evaluate them? - Are companies doing enough due diligence on the AI tools they use? - How can we ensure AI doesn't perpetuate existing biases in hiring? Action Steps for Employers: 1. Thoroughly test any AI hiring tools before implementation 2. Regularly audit AI systems for biases and inaccuracies   3. Maintain human oversight and don't rely solely on AI rankings 4. Prioritize finding qualified candidates over speed of hiring 5. Be transparent with candidates about use of AI in hiring process Action Steps for Job Seekers: 1. Be aware that AI may be used to evaluate your application 2. Focus on clearly communicating relevant skills and experience 3. Consider how AI might interpret information on your resume 4. Prepare for potential AI-powered video interviews 5. Advocate for transparency in hiring processes Key Takeaways: - AI hiring tools often have hidden biases and flaws - More scrutiny and testing of these systems is urgently needed - Job seekers have little visibility into how they're being evaluated - Companies need to balance efficiency with fairness and accuracy - Human oversight remains crucial in hiring processes Hilke Schellmann, is an Emmy award winning investigative reporter and assistant professor of journalism at New York University. As a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian, Schellmann writes about holding artificial intelligence (AI) accountable. In her book, The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted, and Fired, And Why We Need To Fight Back (Hachette), she investigates the rise of AI in the world of work. Drawing on exclusive information from whistleblowers, internal documents and real‑world tests, Schellmann discovers that many of the algorithms making high‑stakes decisions are biased, racist, and do more harm than good.  Her four part investigative podcast and print series on AI and hiring for MIT Technology Review was a finalist for a Webby Award. Her documentary Outlawed in Pakistan, which played at Sundance and aired on PBS FRONTLINE, was recognized with an Emmy, an Overseas Press Club, and a Cinema for Peace Award amongst others. In her investigation into student loans for VICE on HBO, she uncovered how a spigot of easy money from the federal government is driving up the cost of higher education in the U.S. and is even threatening the country's

The solar flux index was at a remarkable 224 on Thursday the 18th, and the Kp index had been consistently in the ones and twos all week. It doesn't get much better than this, HF-wise, although it's a shame it's not autumn with the associated good HF autumnal propagation. Given that we are in the summer HF doldrums, there has been a lot of DX on the bands. 15m has been very good during late afternoons, and open to all continents, with Australia, Asia, Africa, North America and South America all workable on FT8 at the same time. On Thursday the 18th, there were 17 active sunspot regions visible, which contributed to the high solar flux index. Two X-class solar flares brought short-term solar fadeouts on the 14th and the 16th, but any associated coronal mass ejection has been mainly directed away from Earth. For those new to HF propagation, this is good news. Remember, a high solar flux index is generally good, while a high, perhaps more than four, Kp index is generally bad. Daytime maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, over a 3,000km path have been consistently above 21MHz. Nighttime MUFs have been more than 14MHz, and often 18MHz, at times. But will this continue? Probably not. Of the 17 visible sunspot groups, six are classed as ‘growing'. There have been coronal mass ejections from sunspots on the edge of the Sun, but they have not been Earth-directed. But, as these spots rotate to be Earth-facing, a coronal mass ejection could be more problematic.   Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may fall, perhaps into the 170s to 180s range. The Kp index is predicted to be around 2, but if we do have an Earth-facing coronal mass ejection that could easily climb to 4 or 5, with an associated drop in the maximum usable frequency. So, will it be another week without a high Kp index? Maybe that is too much to hope for! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Last week ended with a decaying high over Germany and fronts pushing in across western Britain. With such warm air over the UK at first, even temporarily, there will be a reasonable chance of Tropo over nearby cooler waters around our coasts, especially along the English Channel and southern North Sea. Incidentally, for anyone taking a VHF rig with them on holiday to the Mediterranean resorts, you can expect typical summer semi-permanent, very strong maritime Tropo ducts over any sea path to neighbouring islands or countries. Returning to the UK, we have a series of fronts and lows lined up for the coming week. In summer months these can often have a showery element to them, so expect some heavy rain and thunder at times, but at least there'll be rain scatter to make up for it! Meteor scatter is again a random experience, with no major showers this week. Try around, or just before, dawn for best results. The solar conditions have been all over the place with flares and weak auroral responses, but nothing dramatic for VHF radio. Sporadic-E, on the other hand, has done fairly well for digital mode activity, especially for transatlantic paths, but is slightly subdued where higher signal levels are required for SSB and CW. Although the weather is expected to be unsettled, the jet stream activity is less widespread than recently. If anything, the western side of Europe seems in a better spot with quite good options for paths to Iberia. Remember, most years will see activity into the first week of September, so don't give up yet. The Moon is at minimum declination on Friday the 19th so we start the week with short Moon windows and falling path losses as we approach perigee on the 24th. Perigee is the point at which the Moon is closest to the Earth. 144MHz sky noise starts very high but declines to medium next week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

#174:  Republic of Tea co-founder and UC Berkeley Haas Center for Responsible Business co-chair Will Rosenzweig joins Dave to discuss his early efforts to impact change on the food system from the inside out, through entrepreneurship, as well as his thoughts on how to acheive postive impact in today's world through education.Will Rosenzweig is a well-known entrepreneur, having co-founded the Republic of Tea in the early 90s. He is co-author of The Republic of Tea: How an Idea Becomes a Business, (Doubleday 1994) which was named one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time, and the recipient of the Oslo Business for Peace Award. Will has been part of the UC Berkeley faculty since 1999 and currently leads Plant Futures, a course about the urgent future of plant-centered eating. https://haas.berkeley.edu/faculty/rosenzweig-william/To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/will-rosenzweig-crafting-positive-impact-food-system-episode-one-hundred-seventy-fourThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Mirela Sula. At the age of 16, Mirela found herself in her home country of Albania, engaged to be married. Not because of a teenage romance or a whirlwind courtship, but because of something much darker – the risk of being sold into prostitution. Upon accepting the proposal, Mirela made her fiancé promise that he would allow her to continue her studies. If he didn't, she vowed to disappear from his life. That promise was Mirela's lifeline. She was married by the age of 18, trading her freedom for safety. Mirela lived with a large family in a small village, where there was no money to even discuss. Her role was clear – to wash, to clean, and to serve the family. At the same time, she continued to pursue her education, gaining knowledge, and with that, came confidence and exposure to the world outside. As Mirela progressed in her studies, she began to understand the importance of financial independence and worked aggressively toward it. Mirela is a British journalist, author, and CEO and Founder of Global Woman Magazine and Global Woman Club. She is an internationally recognized leader in the fields of media, education, and women's empowerment. With a dynamic career spanning over two decades, Mirela has left a mark on the world by transformative initiatives and fostering a global community of over 30,000 female founders in her Global Woman platform. Mirela is the owner of five magazines, author of 15 books, leader of 27 club chapters around the world and the organizer of more than 500 events. She has been speaking in more than 300 stages around the world and has reached over 1 million people with her message. Mirela has been honored with awards such as the 'Inspirational Award for Women 2015' for Human Rights, the 'Best Inspirational Influencer' Award from The Best You in 2017, and the Universum Donna Award 2017 from the Universum Academy of Switzerland. “The Businesswoman of the Year Award” from Wealth Dragons in 2019. "The Icon 2023" Award among top celebrities in the UK, and recently she received the “Peace Award” from Universal Peace of Federation on the United Nations International Day of Peace. Mirela is also the organizer of the Global Woman Summit and Global Woman Awards. She has appeared on London Live TV, BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour, Sky TV and has also been featured in the ‘Evening Standard', Forbes Magazine and ‘The Guardian'. Her last self-help book ‘Don't Let Your Mind Go' was a best seller and also published in America and Turkey.

— When we go through trials, we end up dying to some part of ourselves, and that not only carves us into a new person with greater resilience and capacity for change but also one who understands that death on all levels is simply another rite of passage. As we walk through the dark places in our life and accept our losses, we die to what the ego and mind mistakenly think is the best life path for us. The darkness helps us touch into our vulnerabilities, and each loss allows us to die just a little more, so that when life takes from us, creation brings something new into our lives. Any life form that stops growing dies. In nature, death is not an end. Death only leads to new creation, opening doors to new dimensions of reality. This is true whether we physically leave our bodies to engage in a new adventure of life or if we stay here as a polished stone ready to be kind to ourselves and be in service to all of life.

In this enlightening episode, Angell Deer converses with Sandra Ingerman, a world-renowned teacher of shamanism, about the profound journey through darkness and how suffering, loss, and pain can serve as powerful vehicles for transformative growth. With decades of wisdom distilled into her latest book, "Walking Through Darkness," Sandra shares her insights and personal experiences on navigating the difficult terrains of life.   **Main Topics Discussed:** - **Origins of "Walking Through Darkness"**: Sandra opens up about her inspiration for writing the book, rooted in her own life filled with initiations and transformative experiences. Growing up amidst suffering and witnessing the hardships of others led her to explore how pain and loss can act as rites of passage for spiritual awakening.   - **Personal Journey and Initiations**: Sandra recounts her own harrowing experiences, from being struck by lightning to grappling with a rare brain disorder. These events pushed her into the depths of despair, teaching her the tough lessons of ego dissolution and the power of the spirit to navigate through the darkness.   - **The Role of Elders and Spiritual Teachings**: Highlighting the absence of guiding elders in modern times, Sandra emphasizes the importance of having roadmaps provided by wisdom keepers to navigate life's challenges. She shares how past cultures embraced the teachings of elders to move through tough times with grace.   - **Healing Through Nature and Self-Discoveries**: Sandra finds solace and guidance in nature, teaching her the importance of small, forward-moving steps, and the significance of self-love and worth in the healing journey. Her work reflects the need for connection with the natural world and the practice of sacred reciprocity.   - **Navigating Collective Suffering**: Addressing the current global challenges, Sandra discusses the collective suffering and loss the world is facing. She believes in the power of individual actions and spiritual practice to contribute positively to the collective, highlighting the importance of appreciating life's simple joys and the beauty of the planet.   - **Advice for Those Walking Through Darkness**: Offering practical advice, Sandra emphasizes starting with small, manageable steps towards healing. Whether it's performing simple ceremonies, connecting with the elements of nature, or practicing gratitude, these actions can significantly alleviate the burden of suffering.   Throughout the interview, Sandra Ingerman's insights serve as a beacon of hope and healing, encouraging listeners to find strength in their spirit and the natural world. Her book, "Walking Through Darkness," not only offers a comprehensive guide through personal and collective suffering but also illuminates the path towards a more connected and spiritually awakened life.

WARRIOR GIRL (@penguinrandomhouse, 2023) chronicles Celina and her family who are bilingual and follow both Mexican and American traditions. Celina revels in her Mexican heritage, but once she starts school it feels like the world wants her to erase that part of her identity. Fortunately, she's got an army of family and three fabulous new friends behind her to fight the ignorance. But it's her Gramma who's her biggest inspiration, encouraging Celina to build a shield of joy around herself . Because when you're celebrating, when you find a reason to sing or dance or paint or play or laugh or write, they haven't taken everything away from you. Of course, it's not possible to stay in celebration mode when things get dire--like when her dad's deported and a pandemic hits--but if there is anything Celina's sure of, it's that she'll always live up to her last Guerrera--woman warrior--and that she will use her voice and writing talents to show the world it's a more beautiful place because people like her are in it.

Using CW and SSB on the 80 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report, serial number and IOTA reference. Please note that the Worked All Britain 144MHz Low Power Contest which was due to be held on Saturday the 29th of July has been moved to Saturday the 5th of August. A further announcement is expected next week. Next Sunday, the 30th of July, the UK Microwave Group 5.7 and 10GHz Contest runs from 0600 to 1800UTC. Using all modes on 5.7 and 10GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 20th of July 2023 The Sun continues to be peppered with spots with a solar flux index of 189 on Thursday the 20th. However, sunspots can bring solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections, or CMEs, which can be detrimental to good HF conditions. We have been relatively lucky over the last week as the flares have mostly been minor C-class and a few M-class events. There have been no X-class flares, so ionospheric disturbances have been minor. A large CME observed from active region 3363 is expected to mostly miss our planet. But the edge of the plasma cloud was still forecast to deliver a glancing blow to our geomagnetic field on Thursday the 20th of July. A Polar Cap Absorption, or PCA, event was also in progress from the morning of Monday the 17th of July. This was caused by the proton flux rapidly increasing and affecting HF paths over the poles. The proton flux is gradually decreasing but may still have a detrimental effect for a while yet. Region 3363, which was massive, has now disappeared behind the southwest limb and will no longer be a threat. That is, at least until its return in about two weeks' time. It will be interesting to see how big it is on its return. Other than the Kp index hitting 4.67 on the 16th and 17th, geomagnetic conditions have been quiet with the Kp index at one or two over the past few days, which means HF conditions have been quite good. Daytime MUFs over a 3,000km path have been consistently above 18MHz and often above 21MHz at times. Nighttime MUFs over the same path have been higher than 14MHz, and often 18MHz, at least during the first part of the night. This means that if you hear signals on 24 or 28MHz the likelihood is that they are due to Sporadic-E propagation. Next week NOAA predicts that the Solar Flux Index will remain at about 160 to 170. It is also predicting a Kp index of two all week. If that happens, we can probably expect good HF conditions for this time of year. However, with this many sunspots, there is always the strong risk of solar flares and CMEs. So, keep an eye on solarham.net for real-time conditions. And now the VHF and up propagation news The continuing spell of unsettled weather will stay with us for the coming week, so any signs of Tropo will be very limited indeed. This means that rain scatter will once again be a predominant propagation mode for those equipped on the GHz bands to use it. Higher temperatures in summer mean strong convective cells, like thunderstorms, and better reflectivity from the larger raindrops, which can be held aloft by the stronger updrafts in the storm clouds. The reflectivity depends upon the 6th power of the diameter of the raindrop and the number of drops in the beam, so even a small increase in drop size gives a big increase in reflectivity. Sporadic-E remains in play for a good while yet, so stay alert to cluster reports and, in particular, 10m and 6m beacons. If time is limited, check 1600 to 1700UTC to gain maximum benefit. The usual other modes are still possibilities, of course. Starting with Aurora, in view of the recently disturbed solar conditions, you should monitor the Kp index for large values above say Kp=5.  Secondly, the Perseids meteor shower will peak between the 12th and 13th of August, but evidence of meteor material from the Perseids is already appearing. Officially, the shower starts to appear from around the 17th of July. The 50MHz and 144MHz bands have already produced some very short-lived bursts of FT8 signals that may be due to meteors.  The Delta Aquariids may also be responsible for these very sporadic bursts. As we move towards the Perseids peak you should expect an increasing number of bursts. As the Moon begins its monthly descent towards minimum declination on the 29th, path loss will decrease. However, the Moon will be close to Sagittarius A on the 28th, leading to very high noise. This will be prevalent on the lower VHF bands. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

In episode 7 of Kofi Time, podcast host Ahmad Fawzi welcomes two special guests, Hajer Sharief and Jeremy Gilley, to discuss the importance of youth inclusion in global challenges and peacebuilding. Over half of the world's population is under the age of 30 and youth are disproportionately affected by conflict, climate change and unemployment, yet they are rarely consulted. Sharing their experiences of meeting and working with Kofi Annan, Hajer and Jeremy highlight Kofi Annan's ability to connect with young people, giving them a voice and treating them as true counterparts.

I asked Itzhak to come back on the show to talk about his understanding of the prophecies, the Condor and the Eagle, the plant medicine, and what he is seeing coming forward.  We talk about the prophecy, the balance, initiation, changes we must all endure,  still no shape of what's to come, in between changing of the guards, lightworkers as an agent of change or soldiers of change as he emphasizes, and plant medicine. Itzhak Beery (www.itzhakbeery.com) is a leading shamanic teacher, healer, speaker, community activist, and author of three Amazon bestsellers books. He received the 'Ambassador for Peace Award' from The Universal Peace Federation and the UN.  Since 1995, he bridges the spiritual and practical wisdom his indigenous and Western teachers entrusted in him with a powerful contemporary approach relevant to our stressful and unbalanced modern times.

Shamanic teaching seems especially relevant in these unusual times when it can feel like we are going through great change, and yet not always clear on our direction. Itzhak Beery says ancient cultures foresaw the volatile events we are experiencing as a birthing process for a new future and human paradigm.

Shannon Hopkins has been asking, “God, what is the church you are building today?” for decades–and she's been living that question. Shannon's pursuit of new forms of Christian community inspired her to move from Texas to London where she has continued to build an incredible network of friends and colleagues who are living the questions, too. Through her organization RootedGood, Shannon is bringing spiritual entrepreneurs and innovators together to support one another and discern what it means to do the Gospel-inspired work that transforms the world today. In this conversation, we get to ask the one who has been living the questions to answer some questions such as: what have you learned since you've been playing in the sandbox, experimenting with new forms of Christian community? Shannon's insights about the church today and her inspiring personal story of faith will leave you filled with hope and perhaps saying (as we said at the conclusion of the conversation): Glory be!   QUOTES “If we don't look at training and sustainability like new economic models, we're not going to see a movement of God that transforms the church or the world.” -Shannon Hopkins [11:24] “We were all created to do good work. And if we really truly believe that, then when we meet people, then I want to know, ‘Well, what's the good work? What's the good work God created you to do? And how can I fuel that? And how can I accelerate that?'” -Shannon Hopkins [32:45]   TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [00:55] What has inspired the hosts about this class [02:08] About Shannon Hopkins [06:14] How she was formed [12:38] Texas to London [22:35] What she brings into her ministry today [25:41] The courage to break out of the mold [29:27] Extreme networking and collaborations [33:02] What is giving her hope [41:47] Rapid fire questions [47:13] A blessing [48:33] Outro   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS For more information about RootedGood's resources and to access the Mycelium Network to connect with other leaders, visit their website here.

Listen to The Israel Guys Daily: https://theisraelguys.com/podcasts/ Join us for a volunteer program in Israel this year: www.ServeIsrael.com The king of Jordan went to New York this week to try and conjure up support from the Christian community for the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem. The only problem is, that the responsibility for this persecution lies squarely on him and the Palestinian Authority, not Israel. While in New York, he also received the Path to Peace Award, presented by the Path to Peace Foundation affiliated with the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations in appreciation of his role in promoting interfaith harmony and dialogue, as well as bolstering prospects for peace, and in recognition of Jordan's humanitarian efforts to host refugees.

One big takeaway about the Five Muscles (Grieving Well, Discerning Purpose, Walking Alongside, Distributing Power, Expanding Imagination) is that they are all connected. Shannon Hopkins, co-founder and lead cultivator of RootedGood, profoundly understands that grieving well makes discerning purpose and expanding imagination possible. Shannon shares the origin story of her organization RootedGood. She and her colleagues discerned that Matryoshka Haus, the 15-year-old organization she founded and that was by many accounts thriving, could no longer continue in the same way. They decided to let go of what was so that they could step into the new dreams God had for them and RootedGood and two other organizations were born. This conversation with Shannon is rich with insight about grieving as a leader, leading an organization through loss, and living and leading out of the reality and great gift of the Christian tradition that there is life, death, and life after death.    QUOTES “If we don't do the work of grief, it will come out another way, and I think whether that leads us to toxic, unhealthy organizations and communities, we don't need more of that.” -Shannon Hopkins [29:49] “There's going to be some pain, and it's going to take and require some bold leadership. And it's going to look like death before it looks like life, but I think that's where it's exciting.” -Shannon Hopkins [46:52]   TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [00:52] The theme for Season 4 [03:38] A story about muscles from Scott [05:29] The changing spiritual landscape [07:52] About Shannon Hopkins [10:11] Hosts' observations [14:28] Matryoshka Haus and RootedGood [22:07] How purpose ties with needing to grieve and move on [23:36] Recognize the need to grieve [30:57] Difference between leader's grief and corporate grief [35:02] How God's imagination has taken off [38:52] How this has changed Shannon personally [43:13] The hope Shannon has to offer to the church [48:58] Outro   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS RootedGood's Tools and Games Explore RootedGood's website to find tools and games to help you implement design thinking, produce creative ideas, launch new ventures, generate revenue consistent with mission, measure your impact, and more.

A Texas native, in 2004 Shannon moved to London and founded Matryoshka Haus. Part incubator, part community, part training organization, Matryoshka Haus was born of a fundamental belief that a different world is possible. Shannon is excited to see how over a decade's worth of work, passion, and learning will live on and take new shape in the US through RootedGood. Shannon's mission-centered focus on bridging the gap between partners, funders, and cause-related champions in a post-Christian secular world is rooted in one powerful concept: inspiration. In her words, “I think we undervalue what inspires us and moves us to act… but once someone is inspired it can really set a whole host of things in motion.”

Kathryn is a multidisciplinary artist who works at the intersection of sculpture, installation, drawing and photography.
