Ep. 57| Unique Populations of Intended Parents   Families come in all shapes and sizes these days. The notion of a “traditional” family makeup with a mom, dad, and 2.2 children is becoming the exception rather than the rule. In today's episode, host Eloise Drane takes a look at what it takes to navigate fertility when you don't quite fit the mold of what society thinks a traditional family should look like. How can third-party reproduction help single intended parents? LGBTQ+ intended parents? Intended parents who are of an advanced age, 50 or older? HIV+ people who wish to become parents? Viable pathways exist for each of these unique populations, and today we'll talk about the ins and outs of each.  Eloise covers topics such as:  Why more and more people are choosing single parenthood, and how donor eggs and sperm + third-party reproduction makes it possible Fertility and health insurance coverage discrimination - how the current system is stacked against single and LGTBQ+ people What to expect as an LGBTQ+ intended parent - from donor selection to surrogacy and beyond What fertility looks like for an intended parent age 50 or older - the biases and challenges they may encounter and how to overcome The unique challenges faced by intended parents living with HIV - a look into the incredible medical advances that exist today, allowing safe and healthy fertility journeys to occur Resources Learn more about our podcast: Fertility Cafe Learn more about our surrogacy and egg donation agency: Family Inceptions On the blog: Reciprocal IVF: Creating Families For LGBTQ Couples  On the blog: Egg Donors & Surrogates For LGBTQ Couples | Family Inceptions  Financial Resources: Fertility and Family Building Grants and Financial Assistance Programs  Advocacy Resources:  Men Having Babies Family Equality Gays With Kids Single Mothers by Choice Solo Parent Society RESOLVE   Rate, Review, and Subscribe!  We would be honored if you took the time to rate and review our podcast!

La révolte populaire d'octobre 2019 a éclaté en réaction à une situation politique contestée et obsolète et à une situation sociale explosive. Depuis, les explosions dans le port de Beyrouth et la chute de la monnaie n'ont rien arrangé à une situation économique catastrophique. Cela donne tout son sens à l'action caritative que mène l'ONG Arcenciel, fondée il y a une trentaine d'année, notamment par notre invité Pierre Issa que nous avons rencontré dans la capitale libanaise lors d'un précédent voyage.

Assiste-t-on à la fin des régimes démocratiques en Afrique de l'Ouest ? Comment expliquer cette succession de coups d'État, au Mali et en Guinée ? À cela s'ajoutent les cas du Tchad et du Soudan. Face à cette fragilisation des institutions, plusieurs pays entament des périodes de transition, aux durées parfois peu claires. La gestion de ces crises inquiète de nombreux observateurs. À l'image du chercheur Paul Simon Handy, qui dirige le bureau Afrique de l'Est de l'Institut d'études et de sécurité, à Addis-Abeba. Il s'entretient avec Bineta Diagne. RFI : Le continent africain a connu au moins trois coups d'État cette année au Mali, en Guinée et au Tchad. Qu'est-ce qui explique le retour des militaires aux affaires politiques ? Paul-Simon Handy : Il s'agit certainement d'une phase conjoncturelle. Si on met tout ceci dans le contexte du processus de construction de l'État qui est un processus très peu linéaire, toutes ces questions soulèvent le questionnement, de l'enracinement de la démocratie libérale. On voit en Afrique que les populations demandent plus de démocratie, mais que l'offre en termes de démocratie reste très pauvre, voire limitée, ce qui peut aussi constituer une des raisons de la contestation qu'on voit ci et là des gouvernements en place. Quand on regarde de près ce qui se passe actuellement au Mali ou encore en Guinée, on se rend compte qu'on est face à des autorités de la transition qui finalement entretiennent le flou sur la durée de ces périodes spéciales. Comment peut-on expliquer qu'à la date d'aujourd'hui, on n'a pas vraiment d'idée concrète sur la durée de ces transitions-là ? Tous les pays qui ont connu un coup d'État en 2021 sont des pays qui ont un passé de gouvernement ou de régime militaire : au Mali, au Tchad, au Soudan et en Guinée. Le problème ou non de la date de la fin de la transition tient du fait que les militaires, qui ont longtemps exercé le pouvoir, qui ont bénéficié de toute sorte de pouvoirs économiques, de retombées économiques de ces positions de pouvoir, ont du mal à lâcher. Puisque c'est eux qui détiennent les modes d'exercice de la force, donc on voit qu'ils ont une position de pouvoir qui fait que, pour qu'ils lâchent, il va falloir procéder à des compromis. Oui. Mais alors, lorsqu'on observe par exemple le cas de la Guinée, on voit que les nouvelles autorités civiles et militaires veulent faire table rase et partir sur de bonnes bases : lutter contre la corruption, rationaliser le fonctionnement des administrations... Et tout cela prend énormément de temps. Est-ce que c'est vraiment le rôle de ces gouvernements de transition de porter des projets aussi lourds ? Est-ce que vous diriez que finalement ces organes de la transition sont un peu trop ambitieux ou simplement qu'ils sortent un peu de leur cadre de travail ? Définitivement, ce n'est pas le rôle d'une junte militaire qui en plus s'avère être très mal préparée à l'exercice du pouvoir. Ce n'est certainement pas son rôle que de redéfinir les bases sur lesquelles l'État guinéen devrait se reposer. À mon avis, une transition militaire doit être faite pour remettre le pays sur les rails, organiser une sortie de la transition pour que des autorités légitimes puissent se mettre en place. Et c'est ces autorités légitimes qui, en fait, à mon avis, constitueront la vraie transition. Ce sera à elles d'organiser des sortes d'états généraux. Ce sera à ces nouvelles autorités, légitimes celles-là, parce que résultant d'un processus électoral acceptable, qui devront véritablement jeter les bases d'une nouvelle République. C'est ce qui, à mon avis, justifie la posture relativement jusqu'au-boutiste des organisations régionales qui disent qu'une transition doit durer six mois. Est-ce qu'il y a des situations qui vous inquiètent en particulier et pour lesquelles on pourrait observer une remise en question de l'autorité de l'État dans les mois à venir ? Déjà, les situations que nous avons évoquées. Le Mali et la Guinée m'inquiètent beaucoup. Le Mali parce qu'il est quand même l'épicentre d'une menace qui est celle de l'extrémisme violent, qui a tendance à se généraliser dans le Sahel. Le Tchad où on est certainement parti vers un possible recyclage d'un gouvernement par les militaires. Si cela devait se confirmer, nous verrions sûrement en 2022 d'autres coups d'Etat être organisés avec succès dans d'autres pays africains pour une fois qu'il y aurait une crise politique. Les coups d'État militaires sont des anomalies politiques qu'il faudrait, avec le temps, bannir de la grammaire politique en Afrique.

Ep. 54 | Disparities in Fertility Care for Minority Populations with Dr. Tia Jackson-Bey   Episode Summary  In this episode of Fertility Café, Eloise gets to talk with Dr. Tia Jackson-Bey to discuss disparities in fertility care in minority populations.  There are particular barriers to caring for and noticeably poor treatment outcomes for black and brown women. We're highlighting health disparities that prevent family building through fertility, diagnostics, gynecological surgery, fertility preservation, egg, sperm, and embryo freezing, and infertility treatments like Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for minorities. They'll be discussing the importance of reproductive justice and increasing access to fertility care for all.   Guest Bio Dr. Tia Jackson-Bey is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist and board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who cares for patients at RMA of New York's Brooklyn office. Her professional interests include physician-patient education, IVF outcome improvement, global public health, and mentoring unrepresented college and medical students on careers in medicine.  Dr. Jackson-Bey is passionate about reproductive justice and increasing access to fertility care for all. She was recently appointed a member of the newly formed ASRM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force which will enhance opportunities and reproductive medicine for underrepresented minority populations and reduce health disparities in access to care. She is a talented surgeon and dedicated fertility expert who was focused on fertility preservation, IVF success, and great outcomes for her patients.   In this episode, Eloise and Tia talk about:  The biggest barriers that certain communities face in regards to fertility care The importance of getting help and asking questions even early in your fertility journey How the US deals with health disparities compared to other countries Being able to find the right providers who will help you reach your goals Resources Follow Tia on Instagram Learn more about our podcast: Fertility Cafe Learn more about our surrogacy and egg donation agency: Family Inceptions Learn more about independent surrogacy: Surrogacy Roadmap On the blog: Us Surrogacy Map On the blog: A Beginner's Guide to Fertility Acronyms On the podcast: Ep 35 | Infertility Epidemic

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 12-10-21. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of December 13, 2021.  This revised episode from December 2015 is part of a series this year of winter-related episodes. SOUNDS – 7 secThis week, the sound of Mallard ducks on a December day in Blacksburg, Va., is the call to explore the annual Christmas Bird Count, organized by the National Audubon Society.Since 1900, the Society has helped organize volunteers to hold local daylong bird counts between December 14 and January 5.  On any single day within that period, volunteer counters follow specific routes within a 15-mile diameter circle, counting every bird they see or hear.  The count provides a snapshot both of the species encountered and of the numbers of individuals within each species.  According to the Society, this effort is the “longest running community science bird project” in the United States, and it actually takes place now in over 20 countries in the Western Hemisphere.  The results of such a long-term inventory help show the status of bird populations and the impacts of changes in habitat, climate, and other environmental conditions. Of course, birds living around water and wetlands are part of the annual count; in fact, the Audubon Society's founding in the late 1800s was due largely to concerns over commercial use of plumes from egrets and other wading birds.  [Additional note, not in audio: This refers to the founding in 1896 of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, the first state-level affiliate of the National Audubon Society, founded in 1905.  For more information on this history, see the Extra Information section below.] So what kinds of water-related birds might Virginia Christmas bird counters find?  Have a listen for about 20 seconds to this sample of four possible species.SOUNDS - 23 secThe Bald Eagle, Belted Kingfisher, Ring-billed Gull, and Greater Yellowlegs are among the many water-related birds that inhabit parts of Virginia during winter, including shorebirds, ducks, herons, and lots of others.  Keeping track of these and other feathered Virginia winter residents is a holiday tradition for many Commonwealth citizens with patience, binoculars, and attentive eyes and ears.Thanks to Lang Elliott for permission to use the eagle, kingfisher, gull, and yellowlegs sounds, from the Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs. Here's hoping that Virginia's Christmas bird counters find good variety and high numbers this year.  We close with a U.S. Fish and Wildfire Service recording of another Virginia water-related winter resident, the Common Loon, a species that some diligent coastalVirginia counter might spot or hear on a winter day or night. SOUNDS - ~6 sec SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Ben Cosgrove for his version of “Shenandoah” to open and close this episode.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water. AUDIO NOTES AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This Virginia Water Radio episode revises and replaces Episode 294, 12-14-15.

EXTRA INFORMATION On Bird Counts Another nationwide count is the Great Backyard Bird Count, held each February and organized by Audubon, the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology, and Birds Canada.  This count calls on volunteers to watch birds for 15 minutes or more, at least once over four days (February 18-21 in 2022), and record the species and numbers of all the birds seen or heard.  Its results also contribute to large-scale and long-term understanding of bird species distribution and health.  For more information, visit http://gbbc.birdcount.org/.On Audubon Society History and Waterbirds “Outrage over the slaughter of millions of waterbirds, particularly egrets and other waders, for the millinery trade led to the foundation, by Harriet Hemenway and Mina Hall, of the Massachusetts Audubon Society in 1896.  By 1898, state-level Audubon Societies had been established in Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, Illinois, Maine, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Minnesota, Texas, and California. ...In 1901, state-level Audubon groups joined together in a loose national organization....  In 1905, the National Audubon Society was founded, with the protection of gulls, terns, egrets, herons, and other waterbirds high on its conservation priority list.” – National Audubon Society, “History of Audubon and Science-based Bird Conservation, online at http://www.audubon.org/content/history-audubon-and-waterbird-conservation.On Loon Calls in Winter“Generally loons are silent on the wintering grounds, but occasionally on a quiet winter night one will hear their primeval, tremulous yodel.” – Alice Jane Lippson and Robert L.

Kathryn talks with Massey University migration expert Paul Spoonley about the decline in population of cities around the world. London's population is expected to fall by 300,000 this year, and Sydney's by up to 200,000. Stats NZ is forecasting a drop in Auckland's population also. The reason? Mobility and migration changes due to Covid 19.

En Mauritanie, 23,4% des hommes qui ont des relations sexuelles avec des hommes (HSH) vivent avec le VIH, alors que le taux de prévalence n'est que de 0,3% dans la population générale. Pénalisés et stigmatisés, ils n'osent pas se rendre dans les structures de soin. Reportage auprès de cette communauté discriminée. De notre envoyée spéciale à Nouakchott, Dans un petit deux-pièces d'un quartier populaire de Nouakchott, dix amis, tous artistes et homosexuels, cohabitent après avoir été rejetés de chez eux. Charihan, 25 ans, a déjà été victime d'insultes et de violences. « J'ai tout le temps peur, même pour la plus simple des maladies comme un bouton ou une infection, je ne peux pas aller à l'hôpital et je vais le cacher, ce qui peut même amener des complications jusqu'au décès ! C'est pourquoi nous les homosexuels, nous avons souvent des IST, des infections sexuellement transmissibles et on le cache jusqu'à ce que ça se développe et que ça devienne une infection parfois incurable », explique-t-il.  Le code pénal punit de la peine de mort tout « acte contre nature avec un individu de son sexe ». Même si la loi n'est pas appliquée, ce groupe de jeunes homosexuels préfère consulter et se faire dépister du VIH au sein d'une association communautaire, sans jugement ou discrimination. ► A écouter aussi : Mauritanie, une lutte ciblée contre le VIH Khatré travaille chez SOS pairs éducateurs. Lui aussi homosexuel, il est fier d'aider sa communauté. « Il n'y a aucun complexe dès que l'on est ensemble. Aucune personne extérieure ne peut nous juger. On apporte un soutien psychologique et médical. Que la personne soit homosexuelle, cela ne nous regarde pas. On se bat pour l'accès aux soins. On ne se bat pas pour nos libertés en Mauritanie, une République islamique », soutient-il. Khatré a aidé Ali, Sénégalais de 41 ans réfugié en Mauritanie, à découvrir sa séropositivité et le motive à bien prendre son traitement antirétroviral depuis 2015 malgré les difficultés. « Je change l'emballage du traitement. Je me protège, je cache beaucoup de choses. C'est très lourd de garder ce secret sur la conscience », confie-t-il. Malgré la criminalisation des homosexuels, Abdallahi Ould Sidi Ali, du secrétariat exécutif national de lutte contre le VIH-sida, assure que les organisations de la société civile peuvent intervenir sans entrave. « La Mauritanie tire son code pénal du droit musulman. Mais elle a signé des conventions universelles sur les droits humains, et il y a une scission des pouvoirs judiciaire, exécutif et politique. Cela permet d'agir auprès de ces populations pour améliorer la riposte contre le VIH-sida », affirme Abdallahi Ould Sidi Ali. Sans le respect des droits humains, il est impossible d'éliminer le VIH-sida d'ici 2030, rappelle Onusida.

November 29, 2021--Mendocino Latinx Alliance's November Virtual Meeting featured a panel discussion on the Historical Context of Racial Relations Among Latino and Native American Populations in California. The two panelists were Professor V, an adjunct professor of ethnic studies at San Francisco State, who is also a musician and producer. And Dioganhdih, a hip-hop artist and producer. Professor V (born in Guanajuato, Mexico) and Dioganhdih (Mohawk) collaborate on music together. This presentation is the first of a three-part series where MLA will host a race exploration dialog. The purpose is to: (1) examine the progression of race dynamics and what that looks like in our own community, (2) to open dialog and (3) to celebrate the strength and richness of Latino and Native American cultures in Mendocino County.

I attended the STAT Summit last week and heard the heart-wrenching story told by Charles Johnson, who is the founder of 4Kira4Moms, which is a group dedicated to improving maternal health equity. Charles's family is African American. After a planned C-section, his otherwise-healthy wife died an avoidable death because 10 hours after the clinical team was alerted that she had internal bleeding—10 hours later—they got around to wheeling her into surgery. At that point, she had three liters of blood in her abdomen. She bled out and died, leaving her newborn infant motherless. This all went down at a large, incredibly well-respected integrated delivery network. One of the biggest issues in healthcare today … well, there are many issues, so maybe I should start again. One of the biggest issues in healthcare that is going to be discussed on this podcast today is how to engage those patients or members or employees or consumers who might need our healthcare industry to work better on their behalf. This is especially a problem (a well-known problem) when we consider those patients who our healthcare system in so many ways does not serve well: many minority patients, Black people, other people of color, the LGBTQ community, people who do not speak English as their first language. These patient cohorts emerge on the other side of our healthcare industry sporting patient outcomes that are even worse than our usual not-so-great average patient outcomes.   In this healthcare podcast, we're gonna talk about a new coalition formed by Walmart and six other employers, plus Included Health, which is the combined entity of Grand Rounds and Doctor On Demand. (They merged recently.) So, there was a coalition that was formed. It's called the Black Community Innovation Coalition, and in short, it's a new virtual-care program aimed at combating health disparities among African American workers. I wanted to learn more about this coalition, so in this episode I'm speaking with Ian Tong, MD, about the aforementioned Black Community Innovation Coalition—the how and also the intent. Dr. Tong is the chief medical officer over at Included Health and also a clinical assistant professor and adjunct faculty in the medical school at Stanford. One reason I was so intrigued is that the Black Community Innovation Coalition leverages ERGs (employee resource groups) in a way I thought was different. If you're unfamiliar, ERGs or, as I said, employee resource groups, used to be called employee affinity groups. Many big companies have them. These ERGs bring together groups with shared identities, shared experiences, shared interests. What I thought was worth contemplating if you're interested in improving health equity, health outcomes … through these existing ERG organizations, it might be possible to pull the healthcare system and these patients closer together to create healthcare benefits and care delivery models that are designed with them in mind. So, what I think might be actionable to others relative to this coalition and its methodology is the best practice of building the engagement mechanism into the design of the initiative. So often it's an afterthought if you think about it. We build the thing, and then we wonder how to “market” it—like the “marketing” is this separate and sequential function. It's not. And marketing is also probably a limiting misnomer. This is especially true, though, when contemplating minority populations for a whole bunch of reasons that we get into in this conversation. So that's number one: Build the engagement mechanism into the program design. But here's number two: Consider the engagement mechanism relative to existing channels of engagement, re: ERGs or otherwise.

In this role, Ian leads all clinical care delivery, including clinical products and service lines, clinical quality, and practice performance of the clinical staff. Prior to Doctor On Demand, Ian held leadership roles including chief resident of Stanford Internal Medicine and co-medical director of the Arbor Free Clinic. He also founded and was medical director of The Health Resource Initiative for Veterans Everywhere (THRIVE), honored with the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Service to Homeless Veterans in 2008 by the US Secretary of Veterans Affairs. A national collegiate champion in rugby at the University of California at Berkeley, Ian was named to the All-American Team in 1994. He graduated from Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in English, then earned his medical degree from The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. He completed residency and chief residency at Stanford Hospital and Clinics and is currently a clinical assistant professor (affiliated) at Stanford University Medical School. He is board certified in internal medicine. Ian has dedicated his career to improving equity in, and access to, high-quality care. He lives in the San Francisco Bay area. 04:33 What is the Black Community Innovation Coalition? 05:06 Who are the partners behind the Black Community Innovation Coalition? 06:23 How is the Black Community Innovation Coalition focusing on patients? 08:05 “If you take a one-size-fits-all approach to your employees, that is not going to be adequate or complete.” 08:56 How the Black Community Innovation Coalition is incorporating engagement into its core foundation. 13:18 “There's a great deal of hesitancy around engaging care, and there's a high level of avoidance.” 15:26 EP338 with Nikki King, DHA.16:34 “The technology is not making that experience worse.

New research published in the Journal of Heredity identified 3 new genetically distinctive populations of tiger sharks: one population is in the Indo-Pacific Ocean basin; one is in the Atlantic Ocean basin, and the third is in the waters surrounding the Hawaiin Islands.  The new populations will no doubt add a call to protect the distinct population keeping in mind that tiger sharks are mass migratory species.

A new study shows that Black and Hispanic Americans are the most likely to contract COVID-19. And Asian Americans are at highest risk for ICU admission. This was based on a US meta-analysis and systematic review of data on 4.3 million patients. The study was designed to uncover the link between socioeconomic determinants of health and racial disparities in COVID-19 outcomes. So today, we dig into COVID and race. What are learning about health disparities and how to address them? A co-author of the study is here to discuss, and local medical experts will also unpack the latest COVID headlines. Guests: Harrison Li Co-first author of “Disparities in COVID-19 Outcomes by Race, Ethnicity, and Socioeconomic Status,”  a study at University of California- San Diego Churchill Scholar at the University of Cambridge Dr. Richina Bicette Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine Dr. Catherine Troisi An infectious disease epidemiologist and faculty member at UTHealth School of Public Health Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues. Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.

It's a callous question to ask. But with new evidence showing a stark decline in bird numbers, it's worth trying to answer.

La COP26, la Conférence des Nations Unies sur le climat, doit s'achever vendredi à Glasgow et les négociations entre pays sont intenses. La migration est une des conséquences des impacts négatifs du changement climatique. Pour Caroline Dumas, Envoyée spéciale pour la migration et l'action climatique à l'Organisation  internationale pour les migrations, il est important de mettre les populations les plus vulnérables au centre de ces négociations et prendre des décisions qui vont les aider à s'adapter.

The 2021 hunt season in North America is well underway. In this episode Brian Mehmen, Brad Dana and Bryan Martin bring back a report on how the summer drought in the western Dakotas, eastern Wyoming and parts of eastern Montana has affected deer numbers. Dry weather brought a shortage of grass and forage and also saw stagnant water leading to the midge-spread EHD and blue tongue. If you are planning a hunt into this area this would be a good episode to check out and as always feel free to give Rolling Bones a call with your questions.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 11-5-21. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of November 8, 2021. MUSIC – ~12 sec – instrumental. That's part of “Racing the Sun,” by The Faux Paws, on that group's 2021 self-titled album, from Great Bear Records.  It opens a revised episode from November 2013, where we explore a sun-driven process that's fundamental to life on earth: photosynthesis, the process where green plants and algae make food, using the energy in sunlight to store chemical energy in the form of glucose.  Photosynthesis is also… VOICES IN SKIT - ~1 min./57 sec. REPORTER: We break into this show to bring you exclusive audio from the Virginia Tech campus, where a shadowy team of scientists are tinkering with the process underlying all life on earth.  They haven't yet revealed their possibly nefarious plans, so let's listen in... SCIENTIST 1: With this terrarium, we have a model system to test our carbon dioxide-manipulation scheme, and soon we'll be ready to control earth's fundamental food-producing process... SCIENTISTS 1 and 2: Photosynthesis! SCIENTIST 2: Are all the components of the system ready?  Green plants with chlorophyll? SCIENTIST 1: Check! SCIENTIST 2: Soil with proper nutrients? SCIENTIST 1.  Check! SCIENTIST 2. Light? SCIENTIST 1.  Check! SCIENTIST 2.  Water? SCIENTIST 1.  Check! SCIENTIST 2.  Air with CO2? SCIENTIST 1.  CO2? SCIENTIST 2.  That's carbon dioxide! SCIENTIST 1.  Oh...right...I mean, check! SCIENTIST 2.  Let the photosynthesis start!  Engage monitoring device! SCIENTIST 1.  CO2 taken in from the air...water and nutrients being absorbed through roots...light falling on leaves.  All systems go!  Light energy is driving CO2 and water to combine and form glucose, the chemical-energy form, while releasing oxygen. SCIENTIST 2.  Apply the CO2 inhibitor! SCIENTIST 1.  Lid applied!  CO2 source blocked...system CO2 levels dropping rapidly...plants responding as expected, using up available CO2. SCIENTIST 2.  Reverse manipulation!  Apply the CO2 increaser! SCIENTIST 1. Lid removed!  CO2 added...plants responding.  Wait, they're responding too fast!  They're growing beyond the walls!  One has me...aieeeeeeee! SCIENTIST 2.  Now it's got me, too!  Noooooooo..... REPORTER: Well, this might be a good time for us to return to our regular show.  Back to you.... END VOICES IN SKIT Unlike this skit, with its far-fetched human-eating plants, there's nothing make-believe about Earth life's reliance on photosynthesis using sunlight, chlorophyll, nutrients, water, and carbon dioxide to make food.  Moreover, photosynthesis is a fundamental aspect of understanding and responding to climate change.  Photosynthesis millions of years ago created the hydrocarbon compounds that constitute today's fossil fuels, and photosynthesis now—absorbing and storing some of the carbon dioxide released in fossil fuel burning—has an important role in reducing Earth's carbon dioxide levels, warming, and other climate-change impacts.  For example, the capacity for photosynthesizing trees to take up atmospheric carbon dioxide was one aspect of the “Declaration on Forests and Land Use” at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties, or COP26, in Glasgow, Scotland, from October 31 to November 12, 2021. Thanks to Eli Heilker and John Kidd for participating in this episode.  Thanks also to Andrew VanNorstrand for permission to use part of “Racing the Sun.”  We close with another musical selection appropriate for the climate challenges facing the COP26 meeting and all of us.  Here's about 25 seconds of “On a Ship,” by Blacksburg, Va., musician Kat Mills. MUSIC - ~ 24 sec – Lyrics: “We are riding on a ship,” then instrumental. SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Stewart Scales for his banjo version of Cripple Creek to open and close this show.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

The 340 drug pricing program was first established in 1992 and allows participating hospitals to manufacture discounts on drugs used in an outpatient setting. In years since, federal agencies have clarified savings from the program should be directed at improving care for underserved patients. One method of doing this is providing uncompensated care, or charity care and other unreimbursed care, to uninsured or underinsured patients. In the years since its inception, debates around the program have centered on whether savings actually benefit the underserved as intended. To determine whether hospital provision of uncompensated care increased following hospital entry into the 340B program, Sunita M. Desai, PhD, and J. Michael McWilliams, MD, PhD, analyzed secondary data on 340B participation and uncompensated care provision from general acute care and critical access hospitals between 2003 and 2015. Their study “340B Drug Pricing Program and Hospital Provision of Uncompensated Care,” was published in the October issue of The American Journal of Managed Care and is now available online. On this episode of Managed Care Cast, Desai discusses the study's findings, what they mean, and next steps for the 340B program.

Maya addresses the inhumane and despondent condition of the targeted populations who are erroneously referred to as delusional. She opens the  gateway to let prana and light into the dark and cavernous reality that TI -Targeted Individuals endure. What she calls the most egregious crime of our century,  likened to the era of the Witch Hunt",  is an an area of work that must be brought to the light. We must remove the blindfold of the greater world, and bring attention to the suffering mass of people all across the world who are emotionally and psychically held hostage by a small but powerful core of dehumanized individuals.  Listen In~Support the show (http://paypal.me/wiseearth)

In this episode I interview Adam Janke, Iowa State University Extension Wildlife Specialist, to talk about general hunting populations!

Is it true? Do Governments really use their own populations for germ-warfare testing? "In its Senate testimony, the military reluctantly confessed that, in the years 1950-60, they had conducted massive secret experiments to test their bioweapons on the civilian population of the United States." - Can it be that U.S. Citizens cannot trust their own government AND even their own media for not reporting and following up on this important story, especially where we are in the midst of a pandemic? Looking at our governments around the world TODAY, we see: Australia - The tyranny and viciousness of its government and police beating their own citizens senselessly for violating the simplest of covid rules. Israel - Already telling their citizens to get a THIRD shot, and using 'green passports' in order to have 'privileges' that the 'un-vaxxed' don't have. In America - Its CDC website itself shows what is called the 'Shielding Approach', where one can be sent to 'camps/districts' if they are considered HIGH RISK people - whatever that means. U.S. President Biden is mandating that U.S. companies with over 100 employees demand vaccinations from their workers. -France, the UK, Italy, Spain, etc... all of them to one extent or another have imposed covid rules and mandates, taking away freedoms, etc... What is this world coming to? Where have we arrived, and what can we do about it?
