This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, tackle one of the most urgent and unsettling issues facing veterinary professionals: the growing instability in the profession driven by corporate layoffs, clinic closures, and public scrutiny. They discuss the recent, abrupt shutdown of My Pets Wellness clinics across multiple U.S. states, leaving veterinary teams and pet owners stunned and unemployed. Adding fuel to the fire is a recent BBC investigative report examining rising veterinary fees in the UK, with claims that corporate-owned practices are pressuring veterinarians to upsell services and prioritize profits. These revelations have sparked renewed global concerns about how corporate influence is affecting client trust, team morale, and the future of veterinary care. Whether you're a veterinarian, veterinary technician, or practice manager, this episode explores how these economic and ethical pressures may impact hiring, compensation, burnout, and even the decision to stay in the profession.

She cherishes her MacPherson memories and reflects on her rough start to politics. Synopsis: The Usual Place host Natasha Ann Zachariah hunts for new perspectives on issues that matter to young people. In the lead-up to the expected general election that must be held by November 2025, Natasha looks at how MPs, and others involved, are preparing themselves. MacPherson MP Tin Pei Ling was PAP’s youngest candidate at 27 years old during the 2011 General Election when she was put in the spotlight – remember the Kate Spade bag episode? – it’s never quite left her. Since then, she has had, arguably, one of the most closely watched political journeys among MPs. From her pregnancies to career moves, she has drawn much public and media attention. In this episode, Ms Tin, 41, tells Natasha about how she deals with hate comments, her perceived job-hopping in the past few years, and why she hopes to be the MP for her current ward for a long time to come. And given the current geopolitical climate, she makes a case to young voters why her party would be the best choice now.

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Luxon. Amanda is a former teacher, Myers-Briggs coach, lifelong learner – and yes, the ‘First Lady’ of New Zealand. Our conversation isn’t about politics (though it inevitably comes up), but about difference, understanding, and friendship – because even though in many ways we’re chalk and cheese, we’ve been friends for years. We first connected over our shared passion for fighting human trafficking, but on a long summer walk earlier this year, we found language for just how differently we see the world – and how fascinating and enriching that can be. Amanda shares her deep love of the Myers-Briggs personality typing framework, which has helped her understand her own strengths as an ISTJ, and helped her see me, an ENFP, with more clarity and appreciation. There’s humour, honesty, and a whole lot of heart in this kōrero as we explore how personality differences play out in parenting, partnership, and even public life – and how making space for our differences can bring us closer.

Kansas Reflector opinion editor Clay Wirestone, reporter Anna Kaminski and editor in chief Sherman Smith talk about three recent examples where lawmakers have hidden their work from public scrutiny or directed animus toward journalists.

(AURN News) — The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is now publishing federal payment information online, allowing Americans to track how government funds are being spent, according to the department's website. "Consistent with President Trump's Cost Efficiency Initiative, DOGE will begin posting payments to show the public how taxpayer funds are actually being distributed on a daily basis," the website states. The initial phase focuses on grant payments issued by the Program Support Center, which distributes approximately $215 billion annually. DOGE plans to expand this transparency initiative to all payment systems over time, noting that the current version is in beta testing and that errors will be "quickly fixed." The website also indicates a significant change in accountability requirements: "Previously, payments were often made without descriptions, receipts, or invoices; starting soon, a now-mandatory 'brief, written justification … submitted by the agency employee who approved the payment' will be posted here." DOGE clarifies its role in this process, stating, "The payments listed here have been approved by the applicable agency and funds have been disbursed; DOGE has not approved nor disapproved any of these payments." The department has recently focused attention on Social Security Administration records. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, DOGE reported: "For the past two weeks, @SocialSecurity has begun a major cleanup of their records. Approximately 3.2 million numberholders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. More work still to be done." DOGE, which is led by Elon Musk, was established as part of the Trump administration's government efficiency efforts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Like the North Star in navigation, which serves as a constant point of reference, this "why" offers direction and clarity in decision-making. It's the deeper reason behind actions, going beyond goals and tasks, to the fundamental belief or value that inspires and sustains effort. Discovering your "North Star of Why" ensures you stay aligned with your true purpose, helping you navigate challenges and stay focused on what matters most.Adoption and the intelligence of DNAAdoption highlights the incredible intelligence embedded within our DNA, revealing how biological ties continue to shape identity, behavior, and health, even when raised in different environments. Our DNA carries ancestral information, influencing not only physical traits but also emotional and psychological patterns. While nurture plays a critical role in development, the genetic blueprint passed through generations holds its own wisdom, guiding responses to life in ways we are only beginning to understand. The interplay of adopted environments and inherited DNA showcases the powerful balance between nature and nurture in shaping who we become. Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation, forgiveness, and healing. The word roughly translates to "to make right" or "to correct an error." Traditionally, it was used by indigenous Hawaiian families and communities to resolve conflicts, heal relationships, and restore harmony.Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, a Hawaiian psychologist, is known for popularizing Ho'oponopono in the West, using it to clear negative energy within himself to help heal patients, even without direct interaction.Epigenetics refers to the study of changes in gene expression or activity that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can affect how genes are turned on or off and can be influenced by various environmental and lifestyle factors, such as diet, stress, toxins, and experiences such as trauma.In simpler terms, while your DNA is like a blueprint, epigenetics is like a set of instructions that determines how that blueprint is read and used. These instructions can be influenced by your environment and experiences, meaning that your genes are not necessarily your destiny — they can be modified in response to your surroundings, choices and events – influences that can be passed through generations.HELP US SHARE OUR MESSAGEOur resources remain free as part of our mission to aw...

What does the state do when public expectations exceed its governing capacity? The Performative State: Public Scrutiny and Environmental Governance in China (Cornell, 2022) shows how the state can shape public perceptions and defuse crises through the theatrical deployment of language, symbols, and gestures of good governance—performative governance. Iza Ding unpacks the black box of street-level bureaucracy in China through ethnographic participation, in-depth interviews, and public opinion surveys. She demonstrates in vivid detail how China's environmental bureaucrats deal with intense public scrutiny over pollution when they lack the authority to actually improve the physical environment. They assuage public outrage by appearing responsive, benevolent, and humble. But performative governance is hard work. Environmental bureaucrats paradoxically work themselves to exhaustion even when they cannot effectively implement environmental policies. Instead of achieving "performance legitimacy" by delivering material improvements, the state can shape public opinion through the theatrical performance of goodwill and sincere effort. The Performative State also explains when performative governance fails at impressing its audience and when governance becomes less performative and more substantive. Ding focuses on Chinese evidence but her theory travels: comparisons with Vietnam and the United States show that all states, democratic and authoritarian alike, engage in performative governance. Iza Ding is an Assistant Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Pittsburgh. She received her PhD from Harvard University.  Her work has appeared in World Politics, the China Quarterly, Comparative Political Studies, and other academic journals. Peter Lorentzen is economics professor at the University of San Francisco. He heads USF's Applied Economics Master's program, which focuses on the digital economy.

In this third installment of the harms of pornography, writer and feminist Genevieve Gluck continues her analysis and addresses topics like racism in porn, the Coolidge effect, deep fake porn and why transgender porn seems to escape criticism. The fetishization of oppression has proliferated to a terrifying degree that now unsuspecting women are being victimized through ‘voyeur' porn, which often entails men invading and filming women's spaces and profiting from non-consensual use of her image in video. Genevieve enlightens us about how the technology industry is driven by the exploitation of women's bodies, I detail my latest run-in at a ‘gender-neutral/whatever' bathroom, and Sports Illustrated ‘makes history' with its woke trans cover.

When people go to describe this guest on Rewired Mind, they may want to say attorney, speaker, author etc. but Kirk Nurmi would just like to simply be known as a human being. The quote “no one wants to die with music still left inside them” by Dr. Wayne Dyer has been an inspiration for Kirk. He famously was the defense attorney in the Jodi Arias trial, which lasted from January 2013- April 2015. During this 2 ½ year period, he faced threats and public scrutiny, leading him to step away from law and even getting diagnosed with cancer as a result of the pressure from the trial. As a result of the cancer, Kirk changed his focus to make his happiness a priority, something he had not done in the years prior to the diagnosis. The biggest question that he had to answer was “Am I Happy?” This forced him to examine areas of his life and make decisions based on how he answered that question. A book he would recommend is I Can See Clearly Now by Wayne Dyer. You can buy his book Defend Your Greatness here.

What is perhaps most alarming in the Barnaby Joyce affair is the lack of basic agreement on some fundamental questions: Should the ‘private lives' of public figures be the objects of scrutiny? Should workplaces be places where one might reasonably pursue sexual conduct?

At the age of 37 a young women, who made her way up through a pretty sexist world, got the biggest job in the country. No, it’s not Jacinda Ardern today, it’s Theresa Gattung, in 1999.For a brief little window there a few years later most of the top jobs in this country were held by women - Dame Sian Elias was Chief Justice, Dame Silvia Cartwright was Governor-General, Margaret Wilson was Attorney-General, Theresa Gattung was Telecom’s chief executive and Helen Clark was Prime Minister.But boy how we slipped. By the time Gattung retired in 2007 it was only Dame Elias left.How do we get back? Well, the new PM is a start, but gains got can be gains lost. One way is for women to empower women. And it’s in that capacity Theresa Gattung joins the podcast today. After Telecom she’s gone on to chair major boards, co-found ridiculous success My Food Bag, and get a Companion of the NZ order of Merit gong for services to business and philanthropy, with her work for the Wellington SPCA and organisations empowering women. Like the newly lunched SheEO. A fund that has women invest in women, part of a global 1 billion dollar idea that Theresa has just helped bring here.

This week, Matthew Steffen teaches us what not to do to increase revenue with regard to employee interaction: -Hiring Outsiders – Always promote from within. -No Feedback – Even the U.S.. Army knows the importance of employee morale by the monthly administrating”counseling statements” which are essentially performance evaluations. -Public Scrutiny – Never deliberately confront an employee about poor performance in public. Humiliation has no place in business. -Casual Fridays – When the king farts, the entire kingdom begins to stink. Hey, that was pretty good. Write that one down. -Inconsistency – Why work for a buck today when tomorrow it might be a dime? -Image – If your company has a bad image, your employees will not feel comfortable, nor motivated. - I Have No Idea – Ask your employees!
