Silicon Bites Ep370 | 2026-07-19 | At half past one this morning, Sunday the 19th of July, the explosions started again in Kyiv. Forty-one missiles and 125 drones launched across Ukraine overnight — twenty-five of them ballistic — and most of the missiles, in Zelensky's own assessment, aimed at the capital. Three people killed in Kyiv at a minimum – 20 or more across the country. At least sixteen wounded – though the tally is rising through the day as rescue efforts continue. Fires burning in five districts of the city. Residential buildings, offices, a student dormitory, industrial premises — hit and ablaze, per the State Emergency Service.Has Putin lost his mind? Can he really think that this kind of mass terror strike is effective? The terror is real — but look closer: this is the logistics war, scaling up in real time, and Russia's vertical empire is losing it. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Silicon Bites Ep369 | 2026-07-18 | Why Russians can't have nice things — Ukraine burns the warehouses of the "Russian Amazon", and the war finally arrives at the Muscovite front door- challenging the comfort, convenience and privilege of the Russia elite population. On the morning of Saturday 18 July 2026, Muscovites woke to a black pall hanging over their capital. Not refineries this time, though those fires have become a familiar site to Russians. From the burning logistics empire of Wildberries — the "Russian Amazon" — struck by Ukrainian long-range drones in Elektrostal and in Kotovsk, alongside a blazing oil depot in Noginsk. Zelensky calls it "long-range sanctions." We call it the moment the consumer economy of the Muscovite heartland discovered that Putin's war has a return address. Strike Nova Poshta depots in Ukraine, well, there are consequences, Russians. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

In this inspiring episode of Chewing It Over, Jack speaks with Laurie, whose remarkable story spans decades of living with the consequences of a devastating childhood injury, multiple reconstructive surgeries, and an extraordinary journey back to mobility.Laurie reflects on undergoing complex limb reconstruction surgery after living with altered biomechanics and chronic pain for over 40 years. Her rehabilitation became even more challenging when the COVID-19 pandemic prevented access to the specialist physiotherapy service that had been planned, forcing her to largely guide her own recovery.The conversation explores how she gradually relearned to walk, rebuilt strength, and adapted through careful trial and error. Despite setbacks, including muscle weakness and knee problems caused by years of altered movement, Laurie describes how she slowly regained confidence and function. Today she is pain-free, regularly attends the gym, and continues to surprise herself with what she is capable of achieving.Jack uses Laurie's story to challenge the common assumption that decades of abnormal movement patterns permanently limit rehabilitation potential. Instead, her experience highlights the remarkable adaptability of the human body when combined with persistence, patience, and realistic expectations.The discussion also touches on resilience, mindset, and the value of lived experience. Laurie explains that while she is unsure whether optimism can be taught, she believes sharing experiences with others beginning similar rehabilitation journeys can provide reassurance and hope.This is an uplifting conversation about recovery, perseverance, and the importance of believing that meaningful improvement remains possible—even after decades of disability.The human body can continue adapting after decades of altered movement. Long-standing biomechanical changes do not automatically prevent meaningful recovery.Patient-led rehabilitation can still be highly successful. When supported by sound principles, self-directed recovery can produce impressive outcomes, particularly when circumstances limit access to healthcare.Recovery is rarely linear. Setbacks, muscle weakness, and periods of uncertainty are often part of successful long-term rehabilitation.Mindset and persistence matter. Optimism alone is not enough, but resilience and willingness to keep progressing can profoundly influence rehabilitation.5 clinical/professional takeaways

In this episode of The Cardiac Recovery Room, moderator Dr. Rawn Salenger, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center, USA, spoke with Drs. V. Seenu Reddy, a cardiothoracic surgeon at HCA's TriStar Cardiovascular Surgery in Nashville, TN, USA, and Kevin Lobdell, Professor and Director of Regional Cardiovascular and Thoracic Quality, Education, and Research at Atrium Health, NC, USA, about postoperative rehabilitation and readmission prevention. Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:51 Readmission Risk Factors 05:17 Discharging Patients Living Alone 07:31 Importance of Readmission Reduction 10:21 Reducing Readmissions 15:45 Postop Rehabilitation 19:36 Bringing Rehab to Patients 23:43 Behavior Modification & Engagement 25:55 Coordination of Care 26:36 Personal Engagement They explore various factors influencing patient readmission following cardiac surgery, encompassing both medical and social determinants. A significant focus is placed on the challenges faced by patients living alone, the associated risks, and the mitigation strategies that can be implemented to support them, noting how success is higher if patients have a social structure around them. Furthermore, the conversation highlights the importance of reducing readmission rates and using remote monitoring. They also examine the survival benefits of rehabilitation and barriers of postoperative rehabilitation, including transportation. The Cardiac Recovery Room is the place to hear the conversations colleagues are having after the meetings.

Silicon Bites Ep367 | 2026-07-14 | This episode: The Butcher's Bill. 1.4 million casualties, up to 450,000 dead — Russia is bleeding at World War Two scale for a war that isn't moving. Mobilization is now the Kremlin's only card. And it's a losing one. The numbers are now in, cross-confirmed by Washington think tanks, British intelligence, independent Russian journalists counting graves, and Ukraine's own commander-in-chief. Russia has suffered around 1.4 million battlefield casualties. As many as 450,000 of its soldiers are dead. No major power has lost anything like this in any war since 1945. And here is the part the Kremlin cannot fix – Russia is now losing men faster than it can recruit them. The war machine is consuming itself. Mobilization is coming — and mobilization will not save Putin. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Recent programmes have explored themes such as eroticism in Ukrainian folklore and literature, the cultural history of misogyny, and the political instrumentalisation of so-called "traditional values". A recurring feature of her work is an effort to present Ukrainian culture as complex, diverse and historically autonomous, rather than viewing it through inherited Russian or Soviet frameworks. Her approach combines historical research with an accessible and often playful style, using contemporary digital formats to bring neglected cultural subjects to younger audiences.----------LINKS:https://www.youtube.com/@gart_channelhttps://www.tiktok.com/@gart_channelhttps://www.instagram.com/dara.lutsai/https://www.patreon.com/cw/DaraGart----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Silicon Bites Ep366 | 2026-07-14 | the book and movie Stalker: enter at your own risk, assume everything is hazardous, and stop looking for redemption in the rubble. You may find things of use in the Zone of contagion, but what you find may also corrupt and kill you. ZONE OF CONTAGION: In a single fortnight, the IOC has reinstated the Russian Olympic Committee, Netflix has expanded a Russian cartoon empire into more than a hundred countries, and the Venice Biennale has already spent a season laundering the pavilion of a state that bombs museums and conducts daily human safaris in Kherson Oblast. All while Russian glide bombs hit bus stops in Sumy and ballistic missiles land in Kyiv's residential districts. The West keeps searching for the "good Russia" — the culture, the art, the sport — as if finding it would redeem the state committing the crimes. This is weakness and naivety that will get us all killed. And it is based on extraordinary weakness that verges on complicity with evil. This fictitious good Russia is a convenient excuse for us to take no action to defeat the real Russia – the one attacking Ukraine and us. This blindness to Russia's evil intent must stop. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Silicon Bites SW26-219 | 2026-07-14 | The Siege of Crimea: How Ukraine Is Sinking Russia's Shadow Fleet. For one week — from the sixth of July to the twelfth — a Russian ship was hit in the Sea of Azov, on average, one every hundred and twelve minutes. And it's still going on now. Will there be any vessels left? By the count of Ukraine's drone command, ninety Russian vessels were struck in that single week: tankers, tugboats, ferries, dry cargo ships. On the night of July ninth alone, twelve tankers, a tug and a cargo ship were hit — and we know some of those ships burned not from Kyiv, but from the Russian governor of Rostov Oblast, who confirmed the fires in Taganrog Bay, the evacuated crews, and, in a later strike, a dead sailor, himself. That total may now have exceed 100 vessels, and is still rising daily, hourly. And Moscow's response? Retreat. Russia has stopped accepting applications for transit through the Kerch Strait. It has halted shipping on the Don-Azov Canal — the artery connecting its river fleet to the sea. It is pulling its ships off the water rather than defending them. Roughly a hundred and twenty Russian vessels are thought to operate in the Azov. Ukraine's tally says three-quarters of them have now been hit.----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

When is a brace the right choice? What can it realistically accomplish? And when might it actually hinder recovery? Caroline (Carrie) Adrian, BS, MSPT, PhD, helps us answer these questions and much more.We begin our two-part series on veterinary orthoses and bracing by focusing on the thoracic limb (front leg), trunk & pelvis/hip. We discuss the principles behind orthotic devices, common indications, clinical decision-making, and the importance of selecting the appropriate device for each patient.From shoulder instability to carpal hyperextension injuries, we explore how orthoses can improve function, protect healing tissues, reduce pain, and help dogs return to activity while avoiding common pitfalls.In This Episode:What is the difference between a brace, orthotic, and orthosis?Goals of orthotic management versus immobilizationConservative management +/- orthosis versus surgeryPatient selection: Which dogs are good candidates?The role of canine physical rehabilitation alongside bracingWhy custom fitting and follow-up evaluations matterThoracic Limb Topics CoveredShoulderMedial shoulder instability (MSI in dogs)The controversy surrounding hobbles and when they may—or may not—be appropriateElbowLimited indications for elbow orthosesPotential use in osteoarthritis to diminish the loadA lot of unknowns and potential for the elbowCarpus (Wrist)Carpal hyperextension injuriesWorking and sporting dogsPurpose of carpal wraps and performance supportTrunk Stability & Core SupportBenefits of trunk stabilization devicesSupports for hip dysplasia and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) with video on our YouTube channelKey TakeawaysBraces are tools—not cures—and work best as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan.Correct diagnosis is essential before selecting an orthotic device.Proper fit and regular reassessment are critical to avoid complications such as skin irritation, pressure sores, or altered gait mechanics.Rehabilitation exercises remain an important component of recovery, even when a brace is being used.Coming Next: Part 2This conversation continues in our next episode, where we'll shift our focus to the pelvic limb (back leg), including:Trunk support and hip bracing reviewStifle (knee) injuries and cranial cruciate ligament diseaseMedial patellar luxationTarsal (hock, ankle) injuries and orthotic optionsAchilles tendon injuries and Graduated Flexion Orthoses (GFO)Functional bracing for recovery and long-term managementSkin management with orthosis useWhether you're a veterinary rehabilitation professional, veterinarian, technician, student, or devoted pet owner, Part 2 will continue exploring how orthotic devices can help improve mobility and quality of life for canine patients.Find Dr. Adrian at CanineIQ.net.Companies with products mentioned during this episode:DogLeggsHero BracesThera-PawWigglelessHipLignThanks for listening to PetAbility Podcast!

Liubov Velychko is a Ukrainian investigative journalist based in Kyiv. Her reported areas include corruption, Russian disinformation, Russian intelligence-service influence operations, sanctions circumvention, energy politics, environmental crime and money laundering. She published in major Ukrainian outlets including LIGA.net, Mind.ua, Slovo i Dilo, and as a member of OCCRP and N-vestigate. Since Russia's full-scale invasion, she has focused heavily on Russia's information and influence infrastructure: FSB “temnyki” or talking-point systems, sanctions evasion, Russian lobbying in international institutions, and toxicity of Russian energy-sector influence. She also examines the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP) not simply as a religious body, but as an influence network: financially dependent, hierarchically disciplined, culturally embedded and vulnerable to Moscow's coercive leverage.----------Linkshttps://texty.org.ua/articles/117235/sprobuj-rabstvo-tobi-spodobayetsya-chomu-svyashchennyky-ne-jdut-z-upc-mp/ ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

In episode 380 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer and Pogo Physio physiotherapist Tim Studley conclude their three-part expert series on bone stress injuries by focusing on what happens after diagnosis. From imaging and prognosis to rehabilitation, return to running, and long-term prevention, this episode provides a practical roadmap for athletes, coaches, and clinicians managing these complex injuries. Brad explains why identifying the underlying causes of a bone stress injury is just as important as healing the bone itself. The discussion covers deloading, progressive reloading, strength and conditioning, bone-building exercise, and the simple but powerful strategies that can dramatically reduce the risk of recurrence. Show Sponsor: PILLAR Performance is leading a new frontier in sports nutrition through micronutrition innovation. Their new Collagen Repair formula, developed in collaboration with Gelita Laboratories, is designed to support tendon and ligament health while promoting collagen synthesis to help athletes stay healthy and perform at their best.

In this episode, you'll hear Why MRI remains the gold standard for diagnosing bone stress injuries and guiding treatment When a clinical diagnosis may be sufficient—and why imaging usually provides better certainty and prognosis The three-step rehabilitation framework: identify risk factors, deload appropriately, then progressively reload Why treating the underlying cause is essential to preventing repeat bone stress injuries How rehabilitation differs depending on injury severity and high-risk versus low-risk bone sites Practical principles for returning to running, including restoring volume before introducing intensity Why the opposite limb also requires strength and bone loading during rehabilitation The role of strength training, plyometrics and osteogenic exercise in rebuilding bone capacity Why bone responds best to short, novel loading sessions rather than long continuous exercise The concept that "bone cells get bored easily" and how to optimise bone adaptation Why multidirectional movement remains important long after returning to sport The impact of childhood sport participation and bone geometry on lifelong injury risk Brad's personal journey with osteoporosis and what it taught him about endurance athlete health Three practical strategies every endurance athlete can implement to reduce bone stress injury risk Why recovery—not just training—is where adaptation actually occurs Quotes / takeaways "Treat the cause—not just the injury."

North Dakota got a new crime report from Attorney General Drew Wrigley's office, and the numbers look pretty good. The rate of incidents per 100,000 citizens for the most serious "Group A" crimes was down 7.4% from 2024 to 2025. Crimes against persons (murder, assault, etc.) were down 3%, crimes against property were down 12.2%, crimes against society (drug and gun violations, etc.) were down 3.2%, and total statewide arrests were down 3.7%. But to hear Wrigley tell it, that's merely the plateau at the top of a rise in crime that he says necessitates the reform to sentencing laws he's been furiously campaigning for during multiple legislative sessions since taking office. He'll be pushing hard for it once again in the upcoming legislative session (there's no real doubt that he'll be easily re-elected in November over Democratic-NPL challenger tim Lamb), though he says he's asking for something different this time. "The proposal going forward, this is not the same we've done in the past," he said on this episode of Plain Talk. He says he's not asking for mandatory minimum sentences this time. Rather, he's asking for "truth in sentencing," or the requirement that some types sentences come with a prohibition on any sort of release before 85% of the sentence is served. "I lost," he said, referring to the debates over legislation he's backed in previous legislative sessions. "They don't want to have long mandatory sentences. They don't want to extend existing sentences. And so, Drew Wrigley lost that battle." During the interivew, Wrigley kept up his pattern of verbal assaults on the honesty and integrity of officials in Gov. Kelly Armstrong's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He accused them of "well-doumented prevarication" and even at one point used his fingers to do air quotes when he used the word "professionalism" for DOCR. When challenged about that, Wrigley walked it back, saying that DOCR's personnel are professionals, but insisted "they have shown no capacity to deal with recidivism" and, furthermore, do not have the "constitutional responsibility" for it. "They are the executive branch. They are to carry out the sentence the judicial judicial branch gave them. That's to be carried out by the executive branch, not altered as it is day one," he said.

He'll be pushing hard for it once again in the upcoming legislative session (there's no real doubt that he'll be easily re-elected in November over Democratic-NPL challenger tim Lamb), though he says he's asking for something different this time. "The proposal going forward, this is not the same we've done in the past," he said on this episode of Plain Talk. He says he's not asking for mandatory minimum sentences this time. Rather, he's asking for "truth in sentencing," or the requirement that some types sentences come with a prohibition on any sort of release before 85% of the sentence is served. "I lost," he said, referring to the debates over legislation he's backed in previous legislative sessions. "They don't want to have long mandatory sentences. They don't want to extend existing sentences. And so, Drew Wrigley lost that battle." During the interivew, Wrigley kept up his pattern of verbal assaults on the honesty and integrity of officials in Gov. Kelly Armstrong's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He accused them of "well-doumented prevarication" and even at one point used his fingers to do air quotes when he used the word "professionalism" for DOCR. When challenged about that, Wrigley walked it back, saying that DOCR's personnel are professionals, but insisted "they have shown no capacity to deal with recidivism" and, furthermore, do not have the "constitutional responsibility" for it. "They are the executive branch. They are to carry out the sentence the judicial judicial branch gave them. That's to be carried out by the executive branch, not altered as it is day one," he said.

▶ Click Here to Master Evidence Foundations ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ EPISODE SUMMARY Witness testimony is built on foundation and tested through credibility. Under the Federal Rules, every person is competent to testify unless a rule provides otherwise. Competency is a low threshold. Weak memory, interest, age, criminal history, or bias usually affects credibility, not admissibility.A lay witness must have personal knowledge. The witness may testify to matters perceived through the witness's own senses but may not ordinarily speculate or repeat rumor. The witness must also take an oath or affirmation to testify truthfully.Lay opinion is admissible when rationally based on perception, helpful, and not based on specialized knowledge. Expert testimony requires specialized knowledge that helps the factfinder, sufficient facts or data, reliable principles and methods, and reliable application. The judge serves as gatekeeper over expert reliability.Direct examination generally uses non-leading questions. Cross-examination usually permits leading questions. Redirect responds to matters raised on cross. The court controls the mode and order of questioning.Refreshing recollection allows a witness to consult an item to revive present memory. Recorded recollection is a hearsay exception used when the witness cannot recall fully and accurately despite a record made or adopted when the matter was fresh.Impeachment attacks credibility. Major methods include bias, prior inconsistent statement, character for untruthfulness, prior conviction, specific acts probative of truthfulness, sensory or mental defect, and contradiction. Rehabilitation repairs credibility after impeachment through explanation, truthful-character evidence after attack, prior consistent statements where allowed, and redirect examination.The central lesson is that witness evidence depends on foundation and credibility. The Evidence student must know how testimony enters, how it is attacked, and how it is repaired.
n this episode of The Criminologist Podcast, host Joseph Arvidson welcomes Caroline Georgiou for a conversation unlike any we have had on the show before. Caroline is a trauma-trained counsellor, somatic movement therapist, clinical supervisor, and one of the world's leading innerdance facilitators and trainers. Her work explores the relationship between sound, trauma, the nervous system, emotional regulation, identity, inner awareness, and human transformation — including within prison settings. Together, Joe and Caroline explore what happens when rehabilitation moves beneath words. In corrections, probation, parole, and treatment, so much of the work is built around conversation: interviews, assessments, groups, case plans, accountability, motivation, and behavior change. But Caroline invites us to consider the role of the body, the central nervous system, sound, somatic awareness, safety, connection, dysregulation, co-regulation, and identity in the change process. The conversation also connects with themes familiar to those interested in trauma-informed practice and the TIDES Supervision Model, including polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation, the importance of feeling safe and connected, and the role of identity in meaningful change. Caroline discusses how sound and music affect the body, mood, emotion, and behavior — and how this knowledge has long been used in other parts of society, from film directors shaping emotional experience to casinos creating environments that influence attention and behavior. That raises an important question for criminal justice professionals: if sound can be used to heighten emotion or shape behavior, how might it also be used ethically and intentionally to support reflection, regulation, healing, and rehabilitation? Joe and Caroline also discuss her work bringing sound-led transformation into prison settings, her vision for prison radio and sound-based wellbeing programs, and the intriguing possibility of developing a custom TIDES soundscape. Listeners will also hear selected samples from Caroline's free soundscape, available through her website, The Sound of Dreams. Learn more about Caroline Georgiou and access her resources here: https://www.thesoundofdreams.com/ This episode invites us to consider a powerful question: What if rehabilitation is not only about the conversations we have, but also about the environments we create?

He says the West wrongly treated the post–Cold War intelligence confrontation as over while Moscow continued to view the U.S. as the main enemy, and he frames Putin's Russia as a “thugocracy” driven by terror, coercion, corruption, and unbounded risk-taking in Europe, including assassination plots and sabotage.----------

On June 28th 2005 a man died in prison. One who gave the illusion and hope that he was rehabilitated and, instead, took more lives after leaving prison than he took before he went in.
