How to streamline your workouts in order to maximise your time on the water. Learn how be a good student and arrive prepared for your workout. Timestamps 00:45 What's it like arriving at your boathouse? Imagine parking your car and walking through the front door, what's the signage like, is it clean and orderly? Is the lineup clear? Is the coach boat ready? What about cox box and life jackets? What do you need to do before you can get safely onto the water each practice? Masters are often time-poor and busy people. Anything we can do to streamline the necessary tasks means more time on the water for your workout. 02:15 The night before Get prepared early - get out all your clothing, gear. Know your departure time from home and list all the things you have to do before leaving. What's the weather report - does this affect traffic? What's on the training program? Who is in your crew lineup and which boat/oars are you using? Have your rowing electronics, gloves, cap, rain jacket ready and your post-workout clothing too. 03:45 When you arrive Get to the boathouse in enough time to get everything ready. Be clear about the time of the practice is pushing off from the dock (not walking through the front door). Know what needs to be done and find out what remains to get ready from others who are already there. Put everything onto the dock. Ideally, nobody goes back into the building after you have put your boat on the water. Water bottle, oars, stroke coach, PFD, light, cox box etc. Put them on the back of the pontoon so they aren't trip hazards. Sign out in the safety register - names, boat, circulation, time going out. Be friendly - say hello to others. In your crew agree the seating order and who will steer and who will do the calls. Know the workout and the warmup as well as the focus point for the outing (heart rate, effort, technique points). Confirm hazards like buoys and other water users - where could clashes happen? 07:30 Diverging from the plan Know about when should you change the outing plan? Weather conditions are often the deciding factor and running out of time. How do you cut it down - the repeats, the rest, turning round early? Decide together what to do in your crew. Wind direction changes and waves can make it unsafe. Where can you go for safety in flatter water? Can you see other crews and what decision are they making when a change is needed? Where will you cut across your planned route? Experienced rowers will know what to do if the wind or tide changes, how to make changes to your safety plan. Remember the water is safe until that you forget that it is dangerous. Want easy live streams like this? Instant broadcasts to Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn.

The phrase “State related deaths” might mean little to the average person, but it's an umbrella term referring to a death in custody or a mental health setting. It also applies to situations when people have taken their own lives while in the armed forces or even to disasters like Grenfell or Hillsborough. What all these have in common is that they are followed by inquests or public inquiries, where investigators or coroners try to work out what caused the deaths. Public inquiries are set up to draw conclusions and release their findings, and coroners are required to write a "Prevention of Future Deaths" report when there are lessons to be learned. Hundreds of these PFD reports are released in England and Wales each year - yet there is no system in place to ensure preventative changes are made. In Scotland, the equivalent is a Fatal Accident Inquiry. It's held by a procurator fiscal - and not a coroner - in front of a sheriff, and has a wider remit than an inquest. It too, can flag up systemic failures that led to a death, and precautions that should be made in future. So should the UK have a body that ensures these warnings are heeded?Also on the programme: The government has welcomed Law Commission reforms to Wills - which includes new protections against so-called "predatory marriages". And the Supreme Court case which could change the rules for all divorces in England and Wales.

Today we start off with Rep Sarah Vance from Homer who comes in to give us the down and dirty on what happened in House Finance with the 'accidental PFD' and what it means for us this year. Then in hour two we'll cover some of the other headlines including the effects of the drop in oil prices and then we'll finish up with discussion on oil prices and the PF fund value drop because Chris Story ditched us.

Welcome back to Through the inquisitor's lens, the podcast that explores the complex world of public inquiries and inquests, one question at a time.  In this episode, we explore whether Coroners' Prevention of Future Death (PFD) Reports are truly fit for purpose. Catherine Henney, Legal Director at Eversheds Sutherland, and David Pojur, Barrister at Lincoln House Chambers and Assistant Coroner for North Wales, discuss the statutory role of PFD reports, the training and guidance provided to coroners on when to issue them, and the frequently raised concern that PFDs lack real enforcement power, with no sanctions for those who fail to respond.  They also consider whether the approach of the new Chief Coroner signals a shift in emphasis, and whether we are likely to see greater scrutiny of PFD reports and of those who fail to engage with them.

This podcast is the audio version of the Gear Garage Live Show, where we answer submitted questions and talk all things whitewater. Ask a question on the next live show Some of the Questions that Zach covered in the Q&A section of this episode Topic: 40k Rogue Hi, Zach. Hope things are well How was the Wind Race? Some AW staff and Board and families were planning to paddle the Rogue April 6-8 after the Board meeting. But it looks like the flow forecast shows 40k. Thoughts on the Rogue at high flows? Topic: High Float PFD Hope you are well. Not sure you remember me, I have done a Rogue rowing school and a regular Rogue trip with NWRC (though it was some time ago). You have also been kind enough to answer a couple of questions for me and I think my son, Nathan, has been in touch with you once or twice. I have another question, if I may. Many years ago you answered my question on a recommendation for a PFD, you recommended the Kokatat Maximus. I have had two of them and since I am typing this email they have both done their job perfectly! Sadly both the second Maximus and I are getting long in the tooth. I think it may be time to up my flotation. Doing a bit of looking, there seem to be two out there that have 22 lbs of floatation, NRS big Water Guide and the Astral Indus. I vaguely recall you were not a big fan of NRS PDF's (I could be 100% wrong on that and please feel free to correct me if I am) and I do seem to prefer the Astral. Though the rescue harness is a little unnecessary for me to have since I could not imagine any situation being improved by me being live bait. If you have any thoughts on these two or any others it would be greatly appreciated. Topic: Mustang Dry Suit I saw your video on dry suits and I'm curious what you think about Mustang's newish neoprene necked drysuit? They seem to claim that it's dry, I have issues with tight neck gaskets and am considering giving it a shot. Curious if you have tried it or have any thoughts. Topic: River Trip Roster One idea for a future YouTube segment: How to assemble the right crew for your next private river trip. Personalities, skills, chores, kids/no kids, shared goals, etc. I've been fortunate to be on some great Grand Canyon and Salmon trips and it's been thanks to strong vision and leadership from permit holders / trip leaders.

If mealtimes feel like a battle in your home, you're not alone. Many parents struggle with picky eating, and I've experienced it firsthand with my daughter — who, like many kids, has earned the label of a "picky eater" in our family. But how do you know when picky eating is more than just a phase? I recently heard about Pediatric Feeding Disorders (PFDs) and was shocked, confused, and intrigued by the topic. When I learned how PFDs affect millions of children, yet they often go undiagnosed or misunderstood, leaving parents feeling frustrated and helpless, I knew that I had to learn more and spread the word. That's why in this episode of Chick Chat, we sit down with Jaclyn Pederson, CEO of Feeding Matters, to break it all down for us. Who is Jaclyn Pederson? With over a decade of experience in program development, Jaclyn Pederson's broad knowledge of programming in the public and social sectors includes program and strategic initiative design, fund development, special events, grant writing, and community engagement. A system thinker and positive team builder, she uses transformational leadership principles to develop energized and efficient workgroups that influence significant organizational and systemic change for all affected by pediatric feeding disorder – such as the development of the expanded PFD Alliance. Jaclyn also manages Feeding Matters' strategic partnerships with numerous professional associations including American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, and the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN). What Did We Discuss? In this episode, Jaclyn and I discussed everything about pediatric feeding disorders — from signs and symptoms to navigating and overcoming PFDs. Jaclyn also shares her expertise on when to seek help, how feeding disorders can impact a child's development, and what treatment options are available. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: What are Pediatric Feeding Disorders (PFDs)?  Can you tell us a bit about your personal experience with PFDs?  How common are PFDs?  What should families know about PFDs?  What are the signs and symptoms of PFDs that parents should be aware of?  What myths or misconceptions do you often encounter about picky eaters versus feeding disorders? How can a parent know when it's time to get their child evaluated for “picky eating”? Is there a connection between feeding disorders and developmental delays? How can parents advocate for their children when seeking help for feeding challenges? What does treatment for a PFD look like?  What advice do you have for parents feeling overwhelmed by their child's feeding challenges and looking for support? If you think your child's mealtime struggles go beyond picky eating, this episode is a must-listen. Jaclyn shares expert insights to help parents feel more confident in identifying and addressing Pediatric Feeding Disorders. Listen now, and don't forget to share this episode with a fellow parent who may need this information!

We all need to eat to survive. We assume that eating is second nature. But did you know that there are many factors that impact how a person consumes food?  We often hear the term “picky eater,” it's often just an assumption that this type of behavior goes along with childhood development. But did you know that there is more to this issue than meets the eye? I talked with Jacklyn Penderson, the CEO of Feeding Matters, about a little known disorder called Pediatric Feeding Disorder. If you haven't ever heard of this you're not alone. I have worked with many children and adolescents who I can see clearly had this issue, but we never had a good way to screen for it or truly understand it. If you have a child, or know of a family who has children that might be suffering from this little known condition, you will want to listen to this episode.  PFD is a real condition and requires early intervention in order to effectively manage it. I truly was inspired by our conversation and I think you will be too. Learn more about Feeding Matters and follow them on Instagram.

Today I talk to Jaclyn Pedersen all the way from Phoenix, Arizona.  Through her non-profit organisation Feeding Matters, Jaclyn and her team unite the concerns of families with the field's leading advocates, experts, and allied healthcare professionals to improve the system of care for pediatric feeding disorder through advocacy, education, support, and research.We learn what PFD is and how if left untreated it can influence an individual's relationship with food into adulthood.  Jaclyn has over a decade's experience in program development, and has developed energised and efficient workgroups that influence significant organisational and systemic change for all affected by pediatric feeding disorder.  She is passionate about bringing awareness to the condition and empowering and supporting families.Feeding Matters - Serving Kids with Pediatric Feeding DisorderThe Feeding Trust - The UK charity for Paediatric Feeding Disorders Thanks so much for listening in! Please FOLLOW and RATE ⭐ my podcast on this platform.  If you like what you hear, please connect with me on any of my social media sites:Lori - MFHT - eating therapist (@the_mindful_eating_clinic) • Instagram photos and videosThe Mindful Eating Clinic | FacebookLori Weber - The Mindful Eating Clinic - YouTubeLori Weber MFHT | LinkedIn Details of everything I do is on my website:Healthy weight management | The Mindful Eating ClinicSupport the show

In this episode, Michelle and Erin are back at it to spend an hour dedicated to pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) goal writing. After spending 280+ episodes growing our evidenced-based practice, we have evolved how we write our PFD goals big-time! So, wrap up your year discovering functional resources for combating ableism and antiquated deficits-based writing, and join the ladies of “First Bite” to discover ways to write strengths-based and trauma-informed goals that respect the autonomy of the children on your caseload while also supporting their caregivers in the process of making merry memories during mealtime!

In this hour, Marsha discusses the evidenced-based neurodivergent affirming PFD shifts behind the “try it” approach for intervention. If you have ever felt uncomfortable writing a goal and asking a child to “take a bite” or “lick it three times,” know that you are not alone. Work through relevant case studies with Marsha, Erin, and Michelle as they troubleshoot viable alternatives that embrace a child's autonomy. Learn how to write goals correlating to daily mealtime routines, implement authentic mealtime joy for child and caregiver, and document clinically relevant progress.

In this episode of The Complicated Kids Podcast, I sit down with Jaclyn Pederson, CEO of Feeding Matters, to unpack the complexities of pediatric feeding disorders (PFD).

Guest: Marsha Dunn Klein, OTR/L, MEd, FAOTA - In this episode, Michelle is joined by Marsha, founder of the “Get Permission Institute,” for part one of a four-part miniseries on Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD)! To kick off the miniseries, Marsha discusses the evidence-based PFD shifts that have occurred over the last few years… shifts that come from listening to and elevating neurodivergent voices. Gone are the days of forcing a child to eat during therapy or relying upon external reinforcement to “take a bite.” The shift is towards respecting individual autonomy, encouraging diversity in thought about what constitutes a safe and healthy mealtime routine and a well-balanced meal...and the list goes on! Marsha quoted Maya Angelo, “Once you know better, you do better,” she hopes this episode will inspire today's treating PFD clinicians to embrace the shift.

Scott [41:18] is an assistant professor of motor control and learning at Long Beach University, as well as a fly fisher and podcast listener.  He has a small number of quick tests you can do at home to check your balance, and then simple exercises you can do at home without any special equipment to improve your balance in a matter of weeks.  Wading safely and comfortably on a river involves both balance and confidence, and what you learn here will give you help with both.  You'll enjoy your time on the water more.   In the Fly Box this week we have so many great tips from listeners that I may be able to retire and turn the podcast over to you.  But we also have some interesting questions that I'm happy to answer as best I can.  Some of these include: A listener suggests when a self-inflating PFD may be a good option Two listeners weigh in on how to access scientific articles on fisheries science with paying a fee for access A listener offers a great suggestion on how to easily attach a dropper to the bend of a hook. Should I be concerned about fishing below a sewage treatment outlet? A listener tells a great tale of his momentous catch on one of the new Helios rods Should I be concerned about angling for fish when they are on their spawning run? With the new Helios rods, do you still prefer the F version for trout and the D version for salt water? If I dispose of the shiners I catch will it help the local trout population? What do you think of using an indicator with a big nymph or crayfish fly for early season smallmouth? Can you explain the difference between a shooting head and a sink-tip line? A listener gives some expert advice on the choice of insect repellents I am having trouble with short roll casts.  Do you think it's my casting technique? Is it helpful to pre-treat dry flies right after you tie them? If I fish an indicator and split shot and a nymph, should I use a double taper or weight-forward line?
