In this episode, we deconstruct the outcomes of the December meetings of the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) and the Socio-Economic Analysis Committee (SEAC).Topics include:Universal PFAS restriction proposal: The interviewees break down the latest discussions on the proposal, with a particular focus on PFAS manufacturing and the so-called “horizontal issues” that cut across all sectors. The SEAC's approaches to alternatives analysis, cost-benefit considerations, and proportionality are discussed, with special attention on the unique aspects of PFAS manufacturing.Sector-specific insights: The episode reviews the committees' conclusions on all 14 sectors, with a spotlight on SEAC's discussions on the complex electronics and semiconductor sector.Next steps and stakeholder consultation: Listeners are guided through the upcoming consultation on SEAC's draft opinion, including how stakeholders can contribute, and the importance of providing targeted, relevant information to inform the final opinion.Milestone in chemical classification: The episode also marks a milestone for the Risk Assessment Committee: the first classification opinion using new hazard classes under the revised CLP regulation.Useful linksDecember highlights from RAC and SEACECHA webinar: Consultation on PFAS draft opinion: Guidance for respondentsGive us feedback**************Subscribe to our YouTube channelSubscribe to our Safer Chemicals PodcastSubscribe to our newsFollow us on:XLinkedInFacebookInstagramBlueSkyVisit our website Disclaimer: Views expressed by interviewees do not necessarily represent the official position of the European Chemicals Agency.

Episode: NCBFAA Spotlight: Understanding the Regulatory Agencies Committee (RAC) Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): • Michael Lahar – Chair, NCBFAA RAC (LinkedIn) • Adam Lees – Vice Chair, NCBFAA RAC (LinkedIn) • Cindy Thomas – Counsel, NCBFAA RAC (LinkedIn) Published: November 2025 Length: ~34 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center
Anyone who has been working within the scope of hospital case/utilization management for any period of time has heard of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation.But are you familiar with the CMS Conditions for Coverage? Sometimes referred to as “conditions of payment,” these requirements must be met in order for federal health plans to pay a healthcare facility for a submitted claim.Welcome to the live edition of Talk Ten Tuesday, Dec. 9, 10 Eastern. That's when Dr. Juliet Ugarte Hopkins, Chief Medical Officer for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will explain how failure to meet some aspects of the CoPs doesn't mean there is a failure in Conditions for Coverage (CfC).The broadcast will also feature these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for the aforementioned Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news that is happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the SDoH.CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson, Senior Director of Clinical Policy and Education for the vaunted Brundage Group, will have the latest CDI updates.The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news.News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.MyTalk: Angela Comfort, veteran healthcare subject-matter expert, will co-host the broadcast. Comfort is the Assistant Vice President of Revenue Integrity for Montefiore Health.
For years, federal audit contractors have treated statistical extrapolation as the unassailable engine driving massive overpayment demands. The premise sounds reasonable enough: review a small sample of claims, calculate an error rate, and multiply across the entire population to produce a "statistically valid" overpayment figure.In a perfect world, this approach might hold up. But healthcare isn't a perfect world. It's a domain where coding is inherently subjective, documentation varies dramatically by provider, and even seasoned experts routinely disagree on the same chart. In this environment, extrapolation doesn't multiply truth—it amplifies uncertainty. Join us Monday during the long-running Monitor Monday when senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen returns to the broadcast to debunk long-held beliefs regarding auditing, auditors and extrapolation. Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:· Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds. · The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors. · Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.· Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

These are for Region 2, which covers Scotland North and the Northern Isles, Region 7, which represents South Wales, and Region 9, which covers London and the Thames Valley. As a Regional Representative, you will lead the team of District Representatives in your area and not only represent the Society but also support your fellow radio amateurs. Find out more about what it takes to succeed in this role by reading the candidate pack at rsgb.org/elections The deadline for applications is the 31st of January 2026. An increasing number of modern technologies are being used in different ways within amateur radio. From artificial intelligence that helps you to write software, to a 3D printer that you can use to create amateur radio equipment. The RSGB has gathered some of these together in a web section called ‘Emerging technologies' and has now added to it an overview of the new monthly RadCom column ‘Experimenters' Corner'. The column was introduced in November and is written by RSGB Board Director Mark Jones, G0MGX. The column covers everything from setting up your own TinyGS project at home to experimenting with Meshtastic. Go to rsgb.org/emerging-technologies and be inspired. The RSGB reminds all radio amateurs that they must only operate within the UK allocated bands for each mode. Ofcom has noticed that, increasingly, radio amateurs are using FT8 outside of the UK 60m allocations. It is monitoring usage and will write to you if it observes your callsign operating outside of this band. Please ensure the configuration of your FT8 software limits your transmissions to frequencies and bandwidth that are fully within the UK allocation. For example, when using WSJT-X for digital modes at 5357kHz, it is imperative that the transmitted signal is never above 5358kHz. Using 'Hold TX Freq' can help with this. The Society works hard to protect the spectrum for all radio amateurs to use, but that work will be made more difficult if radio amateurs continue to stray outside of the allocated bands. The Ofcom OFW611 Amateur Radio Licence Terms and Conditions document includes an explanation of all the frequencies available to radio amateurs in the UK. You can find this on the Ofcom website or via the UK amateur licensing link on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/licensing The RSGB National Radio Centre, located at Bletchley Park, will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. There will be reduced hours on New Year's Eve when the Centre will be closing at 2pm. In addition to this, it will also be closed for essential maintenance works on the 5th and 6th of January 2026. Outside of these times, volunteers look forward to welcoming visitors as usual. Remember that RSGB members can download a free entry voucher for Bletchley Park from the RSGB website at rsgb.org/bpvoucher Youngsters on the Air Month is well underway with multiple groups scheduled to host special event station GB25YOTA this week. Today, Sunday the 7th of December, you'll be able to work operators from Cray Valley Radio Society, as well as the 2nd Marlborough Scouts. The Scout group will also be active tomorrow, Monday, the 8th of December. Buckie High School in Scotland will be operating on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so listen out and encourage young operators in making what could be their first ever QSO. On Tuesday, the 9th of December, Hilderstone Radio Society members will be supervising students from St. Peter ' s-In-Thanet Junior School. On Wednesday, the 10th of December, students from Sunderland College will be on the amateur bands with supervision from Ian Bowman, G7ESY. Looking ahead to next weekend, the RSGB National Radio Centre will be welcoming young people to operate as GB25YOTA. Details of operating times, bands and modes can be found at rsgb.org/yota-month There have been a number of changes to the Region 1 team, which covers Scotland South and the Western Isles. To ensure you are contacting the correct representative, go to rsgb.org/regions and click the team name from the right-hand menu, followed by ‘Meet the Region 1 team'.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 4th of December The prediction made for last week was for the solar flux index to increase, possibly reaching 155 by the 1st of December and 175 by the 6th. In fact, it hit 196 on the 1st and 200 on the 2nd. This was no doubt aided by three large sunspot groups in the Sun's southern hemisphere. We also said that the Kp index could hit 5 on the 3rd of December, and it actually hit 6.67. So well done to the Space Weather Prediction Centre for its forecast. On Thursday the 4th of December, the solar wind speed gradually increased from around 360 kilometres per second to 475 kilometres per second, thanks to the onset of an enhanced solar wind from a very large coronal hole. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field has also been pointing sharply south at times, which means it more easily couples with the Earth and the Kp index goes up as solar plasma floods in. Maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs, have been affected, but not too much. The MUF over a 3,000km path was still above 28MHz on the 3rd of December, at least until sunset. Nighttime MUFs are now characteristically below 14MHz, leaving only 10MHz and below open to DX. As reported by CDXC's Slack group this week, recent DX included the YJ0GC DXpedition to Vanuatu and OX7AM in Greenland on the 10m band using CW. 5R8IC in Madagascar was noted on the 15m band using FT4. And SU8YOTA in Egypt was worked on the 20m band using SSB. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will stay in the 180 to 190 range, and the good news is that the Kp index is predicted to remain low, at least until Saturday, the 13th of December, when it is forecast to rise once again to 5. So, get your HF DXing in during the daytime over this coming week! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The weather charts for the coming week or more show a very unsettled pattern with some deep areas of low pressure, strong winds and heavy rain at times. Tropo is unlikely in the traditional high-pressure sense, but sometimes a strong maritime south-westerly wind can bring a brief, slight improvement for parts of southeast Britain in the windy warm sector of the depression. Watch out for this on Tuesday, the 9th of December. Rain scatter remains a good option since there will be numerous bands of rain and showers available as scatter elements. The Margate 24GHz WebSDR has seen the Flanders beacon ON0HVL for a number of days due to rain over the southern North Sea, but the lack of active 24GHz stations on the east coast made this a frustrating watch on a WebSDR. Aurora is a possibility during the coming week. Look for a Kp index above 5 to generate a good radio response. The evening of the 3rd of December saw classic fluttery HF signals on the 80m and 40m bands, supported by a Kp index of 6.67 and reported auroral QSOs on 70, 144 and 50MHz. Lastly, a consideration of the meteor scatter prospects is more promising as we are now in the broader period for the Geminids, which is due to peak on Sunday, the 14th of December. This shower has a maximum hourly rate of 120, so it ranks as a joint second after the August Perseids. For EME operators, Moon declination reached a maximum yesterday, the 6th of December, meaning long Moon windows and high peak elevation. Path losses are at their lowest but increasing during the week. 144MHz sky noise is low for the coming week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

The False Claims Act (FCA) suit was initiated by the U.S. government, not a traditional whistleblower. Nonetheless, the recent $45 million settlement with a Florida physician and his wound care group – Vohra Wound Physicians Management LLC – resolved allegations that group knowingly submitted claims to Medicare for medically unnecessary yet lucrative surgical procedures, when routine non-surgical wound management had actually been done. During the next live edition of the long-running Monitor Monday Internet broadcast, famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman will report the details of the amazing case, as a not-so-subtle reminder that crime doesn't pay.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:· Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds. · The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors. · Legislative Update: Matthew Albright, chief government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.· Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

On Sunday, the 7th of December, the RSGB 144MHz Affiliated Societies Contest runs from 1000 to 1400 UTC. Using all modes on the 2m band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 27th of November Last week was a mixed bag in terms of solar activity. Yes, we had geomagnetic disturbances, but they were never really that bad, with a maximum Kp index of 5, and that was for only one three-hour period. This was mainly due to two large coronal holes on the Sun, which saw the solar wind speed increase to around 700 to 740 kilometres per second. There have been coronal mass ejections, but these have been on the far side of the Sun and so didn't affect us. Meanwhile, the solar flux index has continued its downward trend, being in the range of 116 to 121 over the week. However, there has been DX to be worked. The CDXC Slack group reports ZD7VJ on St Helena Island has been logged on the 40m band using CW. 3G0YR on Easter Island, was also worked on the 40m band using CW. Many other stations have been setting up for the CQ World Wide CW Contest over the last week, so there have been plenty of DX stations around. The DXSummit website reports 3B8/E70A in Mauritius on the 15m band using FT8, VR2KF in Hong Kong on the 10m band using CW, and S21RW in Bangladesh on the 10m band using SSB. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will pick up, perhaps hitting 155 by the 1st of December and 175 by the 6th. Only time will tell if this prediction is correct. Meanwhile, the Kp index is forecast to start the coming week at 2, but then increase to 5 by Wednesday the 3rd. Quiet geomagnetic conditions were forecast for the duration of the CQ World Wide CW Contest. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The recent unsettled weather is continuing to dominate the big weather picture for the coming week or two. But with such a complex weather pattern, it is hard to be precise as to the predicted upcoming weather events and their timings. It's worth keeping a watch on forecasts from day to day to pick the bigger storms out in time and make sure your antennas are secure. Having said that, in propagation terms, this type of pattern is poor for any tropo prospects, and the best benefit is likely to be potential rain scatter from heavier rain. Last Wednesday saw some interesting dry-weather 24GHz propagation over the North Sea. At the Margate 24GHz WebSDR, the newly-repaired Flanders beacon ON0HVL was copiable all day until around 2000UTC, until a band of humid air hit the path from the West, taking out both ON0HVL and GB3PKT. The latter returned to normal on the morning of Thursday, the 27th. We are now exiting the broader span of the Leonids meteor shower with a gap driven by random meteors until mid-December when the Geminids arrive. There have been a few minor auroral moments, although not particularly noteworthy in a radio sense. But in the absence of any tropo, perhaps it's still worth keeping an eye on the Kp index going above 5 to provide a little excitement. Lastly, we had some more out-of-season Sporadic-E on 50MHz last week, so keep an ear open for that. For EME operators, Moon declination is rising and went positive again on Saturday, the 29th. That means more Moon time and higher peak elevation in the coming week. Path losses are low and falling further as we approach perigee on Thursday, the 4th. 144MHz sky noise is low all week, climbing to moderate at the end of the week And that's all from the propagation team this week.
It's raining RACs. And many other third party auditors. It seems like every submission of medical records is being scrutinized for omission and commission. Then enter artificial intelligence (AI). The use of AI in auditing, although relatively new, is here to stay.How is your facility faring compared to your peers? More audits? Less auditing? More denied claims? More money being recouped?Now you can see for yourself how you're doing comparing to others. Thanks to the annual benchmark study performed by MDaudit and shared here on Monitor Monday, you will be able to judge for yourself.During the next live edition of the long-running Internet broadcast, Ritesh Ramesh, CEO for MDaudit, will share the findings of his company's annual 2025 Benchmark study.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

Este video cuenta con el apoyo de nuestros amigos de AMV Legend. Un seguro pensado para coches excepcionales y clásicos (con más de 20 años, no hace falta que sea histórico), con muy buenos precios y las coberturas que necesitas para este tipo de vehículos, a las que puedes añadir asistencia en carretera los 365 días del año y desde el kilómetro cero. Para conocer todas las opciones, tienes que entrar en la página web de AMV. Legend: https://www.amv.es/seguros-coches-clasicos/ En 1983, el mundo de los rallyes vivió una batalla casi imposible: David contra Goliat, la propulsión trasera contra la tracción total. El Lancia 037, un coche que parecía obsoleto antes de nacer, se enfrentó al revolucionario Audi Quattro. Repasamos esa temporada mítica. Con el debut del Grupo B en 1983, los coches de rallye se convirtieron en auténticas bestias. Audi ya estaba cambiando las reglas del juego con su tracción integral. Cuando el Audi Quattro empezó a ganar, el resto de fabricantes entendió que sus coches de tracción trasera estaban acabados. El futuro era el 4x4. Mientras otros trabajaban en sus proyectos de tracción total, Lancia tenía que luchar en 1983 con lo que tenía: el 037, un dinosaurio en teoría. Los Contendientes Audi Quattro A1 y A2: El Favorito El Quattro era el futuro. Para 1983, Audi evolucionó su coche a las versiones A1 y A2. Montaba un motor de 5 cilindros en línea, delantero y longitudinal, con turbo. Su tecnología clave era la tracción integral permanente "Quattro". Lancia 037 Rally: El Aspirante El Lancia 037 era el último gran coche de rallyes de tracción trasera. No se basaba en un coche de calle; usaba un chasis tubular específico con el habitáculo del Lancia Beta Montecarlo. El Factor Humano Audi tenía un "dream team" con los pilotos nórdicos Hannu Mikkola y Stig Blomqvist. Lancia, sabiendo que tenía un coche inferior en la mayoría de terrenos, fichó a los mejores bajo la dirección del legendario Cesare Fiorio: Walter Röhrl y Markku Alén. Röhrl odiaba el subviraje del Quattro y se enamoró del equilibrio del 037. Firmó con Lancia solo para ayudar a la marca a ganar el título de constructores. La Temporada 1983: Guerra Total El calendario tenía 12 pruebas, pero solo contaban los 8 mejores resultados. Aquí empezó la partida de ajedrez de Fiorio. Rally de Montecarlo (Asfalto/Nieve): Con nieve escasa, Lancia dio un golpe maestro. La leyenda dice que Fiorio mandó comprar sal para derretir el hielo del Col de Turini, anulando la ventaja del Audi. Lancia hizo un doblete: 1º Röhrl, 2º Alén. Rally de Suecia (Nieve): Fiorio decidió no presentarse. El 037 de tracción trasera no tenía nada que hacer allí. Audi hizo triplete. Rally de Portugal (Tierra): El Quattro arrasó (1º Mikkola, 2ª Mouton). Röhrl consiguió un milagroso 3er puesto. Rally Safari (Kenia): Otra prueba que Fiorio descartó por dura y cara. Audi ganó de nuevo con Mikkola. Tour de Córcega (Asfalto): Territorio Lancia. 100% asfalto revirado. La respuesta instantánea del 037 era perfecta. Lancia humilló a Audi con un histórico póker: 1º (Alén), 2º (Röhrl), 3º (Vudafieri) y 4º (Bettega). Rally Acrópolis (Tierra): Territorio Audi. Pero aquí sucedió el milagro. Röhrl hizo el rally de su vida. La clave fue la fiabilidad: los Audi Quattro, rápidos pero complejos, se rompieron. Mikkola y Mouton abandonaron. Röhrl, con un coche más simple y robusto, ganó el rally. Nueva Zelanda y 8. Argentina (Tierra): Lancia sabía que no podía ganar y apenas compitió. Audi dominó ambas pruebas. Rally 1000 Lagos (Tierra): La "casa" de los pilotos de Audi. Imposible para el 037. Ganó Mikkola (Audi), pero Alén (Lancia) consiguió un vital 2º puesto. Rally de San Remo (Mixto: Asfalto y Tierra): El clímax. El rally de casa de Lancia. Audi estrenaba el A2, más ligero y potente. Parecían invencibles. Pero la fiabilidad volvió a jugar. Los nuevos Audi A2 sufrieron una epidemia de problemas mecánicos. Lancia, perfectamente preparada, no falló y consiguió otro triplete: 1º Alén, 2º Röhrl, 3º Vudafieri. Lancia: Campeona del Mundo de Constructores de 1983. El “dinosaurio” de tracción trasera había vencido al gigante tecnológico. Audi se consoló ganando la última prueba (el RAC) y Hannu Mikkola se llevó el merecido Campeonato de Pilotos. Pero el título de marcas era para los italianos. ¿Ganó el Coche Equivocado? No. El Lancia 037 ganó el mundial de 1983 por cuatro razones clave: fiabilidad (era más simple), estrategia (Cesare Fiorio fue un genio gestionando recursos), el calendario (que aún tenía mucho asfalto) y los pilotos (Röhrl y Alén). En 1983, el Audi Quattro era el coche más rápido y avanzado. Era el futuro. Pero el equipo Lancia, con su "viejo" 037, fue el equipo más inteligente, fiable y mejor gestionado.
We're back! Kicking things off in what must be series-god-only-knows-what is Jermaine Beckford and what a guy he is. From starting out as an RAC driver, we were once incorrectly informed that Beckford went full Bonnie Blue with a mattress in the back, but he's finally put those rumours to rest. After getting his dream move to Leeds, Beckford has plenty of tales: Christmas phone calls with Ken Bates, some bizarre coaching from Kevin Blackwell, and coaches who were somehow better than the players. With a huge contrast in dressing rooms throughout his career, we hear how Fellaini and Phil Neville might have reacted to Parkin's dressing-room antics, as well as stories of the brutal pranks going on at clubs in the lower divisions.

Hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo, todo el mundo tenía claro que el coche del futuro sería 100% eléctrico. Pero a día de hoy ya nadie lo tiene tan claro. Existen muchas dudas en torno a la rentabilidad de comprarse un coche de esta clase, y para resolver algunas de ellas hemos invitado a 'El Faro' a Mario Arnaldo, Presidente de Automovilistas Europeos Asociados. También hemos hablado con los dueños de 'Epocauto', una empresa familiar cuyos coches de época han formado parte de más de 100 películas y series españolas. Hablamos, por ejemplo, del Ford rojo que conducía Penélope Cruz en 'Volver', los autobuses de 'Velvet', el Chevrolet de 'El tiempo entre costuras', el deportivo de Massiel o los camiones militares de 'La Vaquilla'. Y Antón Meana en su sección ha recordado uno de los momentos histórico en el que Carlos Saiz y Luis Moya, bicampeones del mundo de rallys, pierden su tercer título mundial en el RAC de Inglaterra cuando su Corolla se paró, a 400 metros de la meta, por una fuga de aceite.

Artist Mike Bennett and marine biologist Chanel Hason have created an experience featuring over 100 hand-painted marine species across six biomes—with zero live animals and maximum imagination.Discover how this unique collaboration addresses real challenges in science communication: How do you show people a blue whale or giant squid when you can't keep them in captivity? How do you bring ocean education to communities without access to traditional aquariums? And how can art become a gateway to marine conservation?From the technical details of getting sea otter tails scientifically accurate to the emotional power of painted seagulls with flapping wings, Mike and Chanel share the story of transforming a vacant downtown Portland space into a hub of creativity, education, and community connection—complete with support for real conservation work through the Elakha Alliance's sea otter reintroduction efforts.Featured GuestsMike Bennett - Portland-based artist and creator of immersive educational installations including the Portland AquariumChanel Hason - Marine biologist and Director of Outreach & Community Relations at Elakha AllianceKey TopicsThe intersection of art and marine science educationAdvantages of artistic representations versus traditional aquariumsScientific accuracy in creative work (yes, sea otter tail length matters!)Bringing ocean education to landlocked communitiesCreating community spaces through immersive artSupporting marine conservation through creative collaborationThe Elakha Alliance's work to reintroduce sea otters to OregonEpisode HighlightsWhy Portland's cartoon aquarium features species you'd never see in a traditional aquarium—like blue whales and giant squidHow Mike's childhood visits to the Baltimore Aquarium inspired a career in immersive animal educationThe viral success of Mike's pandemic-era "A, B, Sea" installation that attracted 1,000+ visitors to his front yardChanel's emotional connection to seeing the first footage of a living giant squidHow the installation transformed a downtown corner from "graffiti and cigarette butts" to "sidewalk chalk and bubbles"The truth about blobfish: why they look so different at the surface versus the deep seaCreating animatronic seagulls and working with composer RAC to bring the installation to lifePlans for a portable version to bring ocean education to schools in landlocked statesMentioned in This EpisodeOrganizations:Elakha Alliance - Working to reintroduce sea otters to the Oregon coastBig Fish Lab at Oregon State UniversityImaginary Planet - Portland animation studioThe Portland AquariumLocation: Broadway & Alder, Downtown Portland, OregonOpen 7 days a weekInstagram: @theportlandaquariumGeneral admission: $14 | Children 2-12: $10 | Under 2: FreeComing Soon: Zoo Aquarium Podcast - Mike and Chanel's upcoming show answering kids' questions about animalsQuote of the Episode"It's the only cartoon aquarium in the world, which I think is really special.

Inside this episode with your host, Mitch HamptonThis episode of my discussion with married couple Tina Stafford and Andy Patterson will be the second episode I have created with a goal of featuring a couple who happen to be in the same or related profession or occupation related to the Arts. With this episode I got to discuss with one married couple the world of acting, live performances on stage involving musical song as much as spoken conversation as well as screens of many sizes.Like my conversation with the Cawdreys in Montana I was struck by the genuine love of two people in relationship and the fact of this love as intertwined with work. As an ex New Yorker myself I felt that I was temporarily back in midtown Manhattan during this episode, if only for a time.As you watch this episode I hope you feel the sense of hopefulness regarding the possibility and potential of human relationships and that one couple's shared craft and career of the performing arts supports their life together overall and at least one important union of art and life.More about Tinawww.tinastafford.comOriginally from Northern California, I've been living in NYC for 30 years and I'm married to the actor and my long-time best friend Andy Paterson.I play multiple instruments, mainly guitar and accordion, but also fiddle, piano and clarinet, and although acting is really my first love, I'm what you'd nowadays call an actor-musician. It is important to me above all to make human contact a pleasant experience, and collaboration a priority. Andy and I both remain in New York City helping our community in any way we can. Although theatre work is my passion, I find the work of being a citizen of this great nation a full time job, and one that I'm proud to do. Peace.More about AndyANDY PATERSON, ACTORAndy has played extensively across the country and in New York City and is tickled to be part of the RAC. Among the many theaters he has worked with include American Repertory Theater, Yale Rep, McCarter Theatre, La MaMa ETC, New York Classical Theatre, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Repertory Theater of St. Louis, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Pig Iron Theatre Company, Portland Center Stage, Baltimore Center Stage, San Francisco Mime Troupe, Paper Mill Playhouse, North Shore Music Theatre, Great Lakes Theater, Geva Theatre Center, Virginia Stage Company, Arizona Theatre Company, Pioneer Theatre Company, Florida Studio Theatre, Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, Shakespeare Festival St. Louis, The Acting Company.

Today, we're joined by Savannah Bananas player RobertAnthony Cruz, known as Coach RAC, to share his journey to becoming a TikTok-viral baseball coach. RAC shares the details of signing with the Washington Nationals and how God redirected him after a sudden release. He shares his faith journey, from growing up in a Christian home to embracing the gospel's depth as his own. He also shares the sweet story of meeting his wife in middle school and offers tips on coaching kids to find identity in Christ, not performance. We talk about the impact the Savannah Bananas have had and why they're so special, and we also discuss the impact of his faith-filled content and why he believes glorifying God through baseball outweighs any social media criticism.
