OverviewIn this episode of asPERusual, host Anna Chudyk speaks with Dr. Sharon Hou (psychologist and assistant professor at Simon Fraser University) and Laesa Kim (parent partner, and family liaison at BC Children's Hospital Research Institute) about their work on the Pain Pathway Project, a CHILD-BRIGHT–funded initiative supporting community pediatricians in managing pain and irritability among children with severe neurological impairments. Together, they explore how embedding family voices from the start transforms research design and implementation, and how trust, co-creation, and reflective collaboration make both research and care more compassionate, accessible, and effective.Key Topics & TakeawaysPain Pathway Project — The Pain Pathway is a clinical tool designed to support pediatricians in managing pain and irritability among children with severe neurological impairments.Family Voices at the Core — Families of children with medical complexity were engaged from the outset of the Pain Pathway Project to co-design research and ensure the work reflected real lived experiences.Parent Monitoring Board — A Parent Monitoring Board guided Phase Two of the Pain Pathway Project, helping design the study, review materials, and identify communication and accessibility needs.Co-created Foundations for Partnership — Families and researchers jointly developed clear terms of reference outlining roles, communication, and compensation—building trust, equity, and authentic collaboration.Meaningful Impact on Research and Practice — Family partners influenced tangible outcomes, including a glossary to clarify research language, visual tools to explain processes. They will be involved in teaching pediatricians to use the Pain Pathway tool.Relational and Reflective Approach:The team emphasized “slow science”—prioritizing relationship building, open dialogue, and humility—to make both research and care more compassionate and inclusive.Meet our guestsSharon Hou is a registered psychologist and assistant professor in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University, and an investigator at BC Children's Hospital Research Institute.

IDF strikes in Gaza, Hamas ceasefire violations, hostage-remains scandal, and U.S.–Israel strategy—what's next? On this week's Israel undiplomatic, senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister's Office— unpack Israel's retaliatory strikes after renewed Hamas attacks, staged “searches” before the Red Cross and the new calculus now that no live Israeli hostages remain in Gaza. They weigh whether the ceasefire is sliding into a war of attrition or setting the stage for Phase Two of the Trump plan—Hamas disarmament and an end to its rule—while assessing U.S. backing from President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, Washington's leverage over Qatar and Turkey, and the balance between deterrence, limited incursions and diplomatic pressure to force the return of remains and prevent Hamas rearmament.

After two incredibly long years, we are finally able to celebrate the return of all living Israeli hostages from the hell of Hamas. Absent specifics and relying on a long history of failed “new beginnings” in the Middle East, Trump's 20-point Peace Plan begs the question, what comes next? With a successful Phase One and a fragile Phase Two, it is with cautious optimism that we ask: how will disarmament and demilitarization be successfully carried out in Gaza? What does this mean for Israeli politics and the looming election? And how will Western leftist groups react to the end of the fake “genocide”? Dan Senor currently serves as the Chief Public Affairs Officer at Elliott Investment Management in addition to hosting his own podcast, Call Me Back. Mr. Senor served as a senior advisor to U.S. Senator Mitt Romney and former U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan in their campaigns for national office. During the presidential administration of George W. Bush, Mr. Senor was based in Baghdad, where he served as chief spokesperson for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. Before that, he was a senior Defense Department official based in US Central Command in Qatar. Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes cartel bounties on U.S. agents, corruption inside Mexico's ruling party, and the alliances forming between cartels, gangs, and leftist extremists in American cities. We also cover the unraveling Gaza ceasefire, Trump's new deal with Argentina, China's role in Russia's war, a coup in Madagascar threatening U.S. mineral supplies, and listener mail on media honesty. Cartel Bounties and Corruption: Mexican cartels are offering up to $50,000 to assassinate ICE, CBP, and DHS officers while partnering with U.S. gangs and Antifa. Trump revoked visas for over 50 Mexican officials tied to cartels, signaling deeper military action may follow. Middle East and Global Conflicts: Hamas refuses to disarm, violating Trump's Gaza ceasefire. Israel accuses the group of hiding bodies of murdered hostages as Trump warns, “Phase Two begins right now.” In Europe and Asia, China is supplying advanced drone parts to Russia, while the U.S. considers arming Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles capable of hitting Moscow. Latin America and the Mineral Wars: Trump pledged $20 billion to Argentina's Javier Milei and new tariffs on Chinese cooking oil after Argentina's soybean sales to Beijing. A coup in Madagascar halted graphite exports crucial to U.S. batteries, with Bryan warning it may be part of China's long game before a Taiwan invasion. Faith, Media, and Integrity: Bryan closes by responding to listener mail about media deception, defending honest reporting over celebrity-driven punditry: “I'm not here to be a circus monkey. I'm here to tell the truth.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Mexican cartels bounty ICE CBP DHS, Claudia Sheinbaum corruption visas revoked, Trump cartel war Mexico, Hamas Gaza ceasefire broken, Trump Argentina Milei $20 billion rescue, China drones Russia Ukraine, Madagascar coup graphite supply chain, Xi Jinping Taiwan minerals, Bryan Dean Wright media integrity
The world has watched as a cease-fire has tentatively taken effect in Gaza. All the surviving Israeli hostages are home and many Palestinian prisoners and detainees have been released. Israeli forces have pulled back within Gaza, and much-needed humanitarian aid is rushing in. Phase One of Donald Trump's 20-point plan seems to be working. But what happens next is more uncertain. At the time of this recording, conditions on the ground were still in flux, as the difficulty of Phase Two came into focus. The thornier details of who will govern Gaza and provide security there remain to be determined. Nor is it clear whether Hamas will actually disarm, as Trump's plan calls the group to do. Most of Gaza is in ruins and many Palestinians fear that the cease-fire will only be a pause before a resumption of the conflict. Shira Efron, Khaled Elgindy, and Daniel Shapiro have closely analyzed the war and its regional and global implications for Foreign Affairs over the last two years. All three are intimately familiar with the challenges of making peace in the Middle East: Efron, the distinguished chair for Israel Policy at the RAND Corporation, has advised Israeli security officials. Elgindy, a visiting scholar at Georgetown University, counseled Palestinian negotiators from 2004 to 2009. And Shapiro, a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council, served as U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Obama administration and as deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East during the Biden administration. Executive Editor Justin Vogt spoke with Efron, Elgindy, and Shapiro on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 14, to make sense of Trump's deal and the Gaza cease-fire—its promise, its fragility, and its potential pitfalls.

BacTech Environmental Corporation CEO Ross Orr joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to discuss the company's innovative approach to sustainable metal extraction. Orr explained that BacTech uses bioleaching, a process where bacteria extract metals from ores, as a cleaner alternative to traditional smelting and roasting methods. “Our bugs eat rocks,” he said, highlighting the company's ability to extract metals such as gold, silver, copper, and cobalt from complex ores while minimizing environmental impact. A major initiative is the construction of a processing plant in southwestern Ecuador, where over 100 small-scale mines produce arsenopyrite concentrates with high arsenic levels. BacTech aims to process the ore locally, improve terms for miners, and create meaningful employment, with 50–60 initial hires earning significantly more than local agricultural work. The company is transitioning from contract processing to building, owning, and operating its own plants, with Phase Two in Ecuador and potential expansion into Peru expected to increase output to 125,000 ounces of gold and 250,000 ounces of silver annually. Orr also highlighted a recent patent filing for a zero-waste tailings treatment, which produces usable byproducts such as magnetite and organic fertilizer, further advancing BacTech's commitment to environmentally responsible mining. #proactiveinvestors #cse #otcqb #bccef #BacTechEnvironmental #GoldProcessing #Bioleaching #GreenMining #EcuadorMining #MiningInnovation #TailingsRecycling #ZeroWasteMining #MiningTech #RossOrr #CobaltRecovery #PreciousMetals #SustainableMining
On The Alan Sanders Show, Ep 195, we unpack President Trump's triumphant Israel-Gaza ceasefire—Phase One hostages home, Phase Two dismantling Hamas and rebuilding with $50B in Gulf funds—flipping the Middle East to America's side and teeing up economic pressure on China to cut Russia's Ukraine war lifeline via OPEC oil. Then, the ultimate irony: NY AG Letitia James indicted for bank fraud and false statements on her Virginia mortgage, where she's harbored her fugitive grandnieces with criminal records. The documents don't lie and that's why a Grand Jury indicted her? Tune in for another show where Alan connects the dots and shows us what's really happening inside American politics.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. When Your Dentist Uses ChatControl Logic So there I am, sitting in the waiting room with a mildly annoying toothache. Nothing catastrophic, just one of those dull throbs that tells you something's going on in there that could turn nasty if ignored. The receptionist calls my name, and I walk into Dr. ChatControl's office. Dr. ChatControl greets me with a concerned expression. "I've reviewed your case," he says gravely, "and many others. Toothaches are a serious problem. Did you know that in 2023 alone, at least 101,988 people in Europe experienced dental pain? That's over 60% of all global dental complaints traced to this region." "Okay," I say. "But I just need you to look at this one tooth" "This is an epidemic," he interrupts. "And we can't just treat symptoms anymore. We need a comprehensive, mandatory risk assessment." Dr. ChatControl pulls out a 47-page questionnaire. "First, we assess the risk that your mouth might develop cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer," he explained. "This applies to everyone, regardless of whether they have symptoms." "But I have symptoms," I sigh. "That's why I'm here." "Exactly!" he says triumphantly. Which means you're high-risk. So we move to Phase Two: mitigation measures." He hands me a pamphlet titled Safety-by-Design for Oral Health . "From now on, you'll need to implement parental controls on your diet. Every candy will come with an age verification wrapper and user reporting mechanisms. so your teeth can flag potential problems, and verify your age before consuming any hard foods." "I'm 38," I retort. "Perfect," he replies. "That means you're old enough to consent to monitoring." "Now," Dr. ChatControl continues, "since your mitigation measures haven't been implemented yet because you just got here - I'm authorized to issue a detection order." He holds up an official-looking document with a judge's signature. "This allows me to scan not just the tooth that hurts, but your entire mouth. Also your sinuses. And your lymph nodes. And, just to be thorough, everyone in the waiting room." "Wait, what?" I blurt out. "It's targeted," he assures me. "We're only scanning high-risk areas—which, according to our independent EU Dental Centre, is every tooth, every patient, all the time." "But here's the clever part," Dr. ChatControl says, pulling out what looks like a tiny sander strapped to an airbrush. "Well, your enamel contains layers that currently block our view with regards to early detection of certain viruses. So we need to replace the enamel with an optimized layer that perfectly protects against currently known sugars and acids but allows our government approved detection equipment to inspect the content of your teeth." I' flabberghasted. "You want to weaken my enamel?" "Only slightly!" he said cheerfully. "Just enough so that our scanner can monitor what's happening inside your teeth at all times. Don't worry,the new enamel will still protect you from everything else." "How's that possible if you can penetrate it?", I continue, still cautious. "Well, factory approved candies, for example," he says. "Reputable candy manufacturers have agreed to respect the adapted enamel and not penetrate it. They've signed a treaty to use optimized sugars." "And the artisanal candies?" I asked. "Ah," he said, adjusting his glasses. "Well, those are obviously illegal! Those criminals don't tend to honor treaties. So yes, the adapted enamel will make your teeth more vulnerable to unauthorized cavity formation, bacterial attacks, and anyone who wants to exploit the fact that your natural protection has been replaced with a see-through version." "So you're making my teeth less secure," I repeat. "We're making them more observable," he corrects, with a slightly annoyed tone. "There's a difference. Your teeth will still be protected, just not from us. Or hostile foreign candy shops. Or those criminal artisanal real-sugar-nuts. But you have no business there anyway. But they definitely protect against harms from law-abiding candy!" "But... Over 500 leading dentists signed a letter saying this would create massive vulnerabilities", I point out. "Those dentists aren't thinking about long term dental hygiene." Dr. ChatControl sighs dismissively. "Besides, it's not a backdoor if we're replacing your front door with a tinted glass door given all our citizens are law abiding!" His tone gets sterner if he continues: "Let me say more, If you refuse to upgrade your enamel, we will consider you a risk of dental terrorism. This no longer is about only your teeth, you must know. If you choose to blatantly ignore your teeth, you are a threat to society!" "But... The whole reason I am here, is because I care about my teeth..." The docter holds up his machine and asks: "Do you want me to treat you or report you?" Oh, whatever, it seems everybody is doing this. I don't want to be the outcast crying wolf all the time. So I cave in. The procedure doesn't feel painful, so that's a relief. After completing the baseline scan, Dr. ChatControl frowns at the screen: "This is concerning," he says. "The system has flagged 8,412 potential cavities." "But I only have 32 teeth," I wimper. "The detection algorithm works on a probabilistic model," he explains. "Swiss dental authorities report that about 80% of automated cavity reports are false positives, so we'll need to investigate all of them." "That still means 1,682 of those threats are real", I sigh. "Which is still 1,682 too many!" Dr. ChatControl blurts. "Now, I'll need to drill exploratory holes in every tooth, in your gums, your tongue, and —just to be safe— your neighbor's mouth, because the system flagged them too when they walked past the waiting room." "This seems insane," I say. "The math is solid," he insists. "Even at 99.999% accuracy —which doesn't exist— we'd still generate 100,000 false dental alerts per day across Europe's 450 million people. But we can't let cavities win." While Dr. ChatControl explains his flawless system, I notice how the tooth that actually is hurting —the one I came in to fix— is starting to abscess. "Uh, Doctor," I say, pointing to the swelling. "We'll get to that after we finish scanning everyone," he says dismissively. "The important thing is that no cavity goes undetected, even if that means we spend all our time investigating healthy teeth." "But the actual problem is getting worse," I said. "That's because sophisticated cavities have learned to evade detection," Dr. ChatControl explains. "They change their appearance slightly —maybe grow on the back of the tooth instead of the front, or hide under existing fillings. Our algorithms can't catch those." "What about that letter from those 500 dentists? They also claim this detection method is technically infeasible." I try again. "They're just not thinking big enough", the doctor blocks my argument. "So here's the treatment plan," Dr. ChatControl says, "We're going to install a permanent scanning device in your jaw that monitors every tooth, 24/7, and reports any suspicious activity to a centralized EU Dental Database." "That sounds like a massive security risk," I said. "Not at all!" he replied. "The device is encrypted. Only our scanners can look behind your upgraded enamel. What leaves your tooth, is already encrypted. No other device than ours, can read the data, so your privacy is intact." "So what about those knock-offs you can buy on Ali Express?" I ask. "Oh, but they don't work reliably. And also: Why would hackers want access to your teeth?" he scoffed. "Although, now that I think about it, the device itself would make a high-value target for malicious actors, Als they could abuse them to learn how to make knock-off candy that doesn't get detected by the scanners. Things your natural enamel obviously protects against. But let's not dwell on that." "By the way," Dr. ChatControl adds casually, "EU politicians and government officials are exempt from this scanning requirement under 'professional dental secrecy.'" "So their teeth don't get monitored?" I ask. "Correct," he says. "Their oral health is a matter of public trust. Yours, however, requires constant surveillance." "That seems like a double standard," I say. "It's a two-tier system for a two-tier society," he replies pleasantly. "Now, shall we proceed with installing the jaw monitor?" By this point, my actual toothache is developing into a full-blown infection. The pain is excruciating. "Doctor, I need antibiotics and a root canal," I cry. "We don't do targeted treatments anymore," Dr. ChatControl says. "That's the old model. Now we focus on comprehensive, mandatory monitoring." "But I'm going to lose the tooth," I say. "Perhaps," he acknowledges. "But while we were scanning everyone in the waiting room, we found three people with slightly suspicious molars! They're perfectly healthy now, but they could develop cavities someday. That's three potential problems prevented!" "But my actual problem isn't being prevented," I point out. "It's getting worse." "Well yes," he admits. "But we've invested so much in the scanning infrastructure that we can't really afford to do traditional dentistry anymore. The system needs to justify itself, you understand." "This is insane," I repeat. "This is progress ," he corrects me. As I' left 'm leaving the office —untreated, in pain, and with a jaw full of surveillance equipment— I notice a sign on the door: "Signal Dental, Orthodontics Threema, and Proton Mouthcare have ceased operations in the EU due to incompatibility with mandatory scanning requirements." Apparently, the dentists who actually know how to fix teeth without installing spyware have all moved to Switzerland. Meanwhile, I hear the voice of Dr. ChatControl behind me in the waiting room, announcing to everyone: "We've successfully detected 6,847 potential cavities this week!" When someone asks what he means by potential, he quietly answers: "Only 11 were real, but that's 11 teeth saved!" The infection is still spreading and I'll probably loose my tooth after all because nobody actually is treating it. But at least the healthy ones are under constant surveillance. I made fun of it. But it's not funny. It's about wasting loads of money on a noble goal in all the wrong ways. But next week the vote will be cast in the EU. So it's high time to reach out to your MEP and ask their stance if they are undecided or worse - are in favor. Go to fightchatcontrol.eu if you live in Europe. Oh, and if you don't live in Europe... This will also impact you. Because weakened encryption in mainstream products will most certainly spread.

New Era Energy & Digital CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has commenced Phase Two engineering for its Texas Critical Data Centers (TCDC) project — the company's flagship data center and power development initiative in West Texas. This follows the successful completion of Phase One engineering and marks a major step toward full-scale site development. Gray explained that joint venture partner Sharon AI has now advanced into Phase Two, which will focus on detailed site planning, site clearing, and infrastructure integration for the expansive data center campus. TCDC is currently collecting bids for site clearing, with work expected to begin within the next 60 days, setting the stage for construction readiness. Gray also noted meaningful progress on permitting, emphasizing that the TCDC site's location in an air-quality attainment zone provides a key regulatory advantage. The company is pursuing a minor source air permit, which allows for up to 250 tons of emissions annually and can typically be approved within 90 days — significantly faster than the 18-month timeline often required for major source permits under current standards. Looking ahead, near-term milestones include expanding behind-the-meter power capacity and submitting a large-load interconnection application. In 2026, the company plans to begin construction of the on-site power generation infrastructure and initiate the first phase of data center construction. A capacity expansion is scheduled for 2027, timed to align with growing demand for high-performance, energy-efficient computing infrastructure. #proactiveinvestors #neweraheliuminc #nasdaq #nuai #oil #gas #perimianbasin #HeliumProduction #NaturalGas #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #PecosSlope #VerticalIntegration #EnergyMarkets #PermianBasin #Semiconductors #PowerGeneration #ProactiveInvestors
Today, Angela Rayner resigned after an investigation concluded she breached the ministerial code by underpaying stamp duty on a flat in Hove.

They share the initiative's grassroots beginnings, its 100% donation to research model, and provide an update on the vaccine's progress, highlighting the completion of Phase One trials and the upcoming launch of Phase Two. A key highlight of the campaign: During October, independent auto repair shops across the U.S. offer free brake pads to customers. For every brake service performed, the customer receives their brake pads at no cost and only pays for labor and other parts. In turn, each participating shop donates 10% of the brake service total to the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund. The episode also shares the inspiring story of Jennifer Davis, the first vaccine recipient, and encourages more shops to get involved in this unique, community driven fundraising effort that's helping fuel groundbreaking research.

There has been a quiet shift in President Donald Trump's Washington. Halfway through the first year of his second term, Trump can boast a list of successes, most recently the passage of the sweeping Republican megabill. Now, Washington's attention is starting to pivot to the midterms. And what comes next for the president is less clear. He won't be on the ballot in 2028, but in many ways he will in 2026. How is the White House navigating these new political straits, and how are they calculating which fights they want to pick? Playbook editor Zack Stanton and POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly discuss.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. According to the Hamas health ministry, two IDF airstrikes early Wednesday hit the Karama School in Tuffah, a suburb of Gaza City, killing 15. Later in the day, an Israeli strike near a restaurant and market in the city killed at least 33 people, including women and children. Fabian reports on these two incidents and assesses where the IDF is currently heading in Gaza based on statements from IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir yesterday. A Hamas commander was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the southern coastal Lebanese city of Sidon early Wednesday morning. What was Khaled Ahmad al-Ahmad responsible for? Three Israeli soldiers were wounded in two attacks carried out by Palestinians in the northern and southern West Bank on Wednesday afternoon. Even as the fighting in Gaza is ramping up, we learn that the concentration of forces are still largely in the West Bank. As the army is searching for manpower, it apparently has no lack of woman power. Women still cannot enlist into all fighting units, but where they can, they’re showing up in record numbers. Fabian talks about this and a new rededicated unit -- where women can serve -- aimed at fighting drones along the northern border. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

An Israeli drone strike killed the head of Hamas' military operations in Southern Lebanon. The strike comes as Israel has decided to keep troops in five strategic locations at the Lebanon border even after a deadline for a full withdrawal will expire. Meanwhile, a sixth hostage exchange took place over the weekend and a Israeli delegation is in Cairo to pressure Netanyahu to continue to phase two of the ceasefire deal. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Enia Krivine, Senior Director of Israel Program & Senior Director, FDD National Security Network for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who says the Trump Administration is showing a laser focus from day one to make sure the ceasefire holds.
