The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia's campaign of extermination in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people's spirit to resist and prevail. It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two. Set to a haunting soundtrack featuring music by Philip Glass, and blending rare archival footage with original material, it is an impactful work of art and storytelling, as well as being informative.----------WORKS NOMINATED BY: Christine Khariv BOOKSArtem Chapeye - Ordinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns (2025)Lesia Ukrainka - Cassandra: A Dramatic PoemLesia Ukrainka - The Forest Song: A Fairy PlayFILMSSergei Parajanov - Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965)Pavlo Ostrikov - U Are the Universe (2024)WORKS OF ARTIvan Marchuk----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

In this episode, we speak with Vaidehi Subramani, child rights activist, former Chairperson of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), and POCSO trainer, about how child abuse cases are handled in India and how the child protection system actually works.Drawing from decades of frontline experience, she explains what happens when a child reports abuse — from the first complaint to the system's response — and why many cases never reach court. The conversation looks closely at child abuse within families, the role of POCSO law and juvenile justice, and the gaps that continue to put children at risk.The discussion covers: • What happens in the first 24 hours after a child reports abuse • Why most abuse cases involve people the child knows • How Child Welfare Committees and Juvenile Justice Boards function • Why children are often not believed when they speak up • Digital abuse and online exploitation of children • What parents, schools, and institutions need to understand about child safetyThis episode offers a clear, grounded look at child protection, law, and accountability in India, intended for parents, educators, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the system beyond headlines.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Child Tr*fficking in Delhi00:50 Meet Vaidehi: The Child Rights Warrior02:33 Challenges in Child Protection03:51 Case Study: Afghan Children in Delhi06:11 Understanding Juvenile Justice11:19 Rehabilitation and Reintegration23:28 Factors Leading to Juvenile Crimes26:18 The Role of Family and Society32:00 Exploring the Impact of Violent Upbringings32:52 Digital Fasting Experiment33:54 Impact of Digital Deprivation on Children36:38 Parenting Styles and Challenges39:51 Child Tr*fficking and Exploitation52:00 Digital Abuse and Its Consequences59:49 Emotional Reflections and Conclusion⸻Guest: Vaidehi SubramaniChild Rights Activist | Former CWC Chairperson | POCSO TrainerHost: Gaurav AroraFounder, xMonks

Visit https://longevitybuilders.com/to discover book and The Longevity Builder Health Lab.Episode SummaryFor decades, the standard medical advice for cancer patients was simple: "Rest. Take it easy. Avoid exertion." Today's guest has spent her career proving that advice is not just outdated—it is dangerous.In this episode, Shane Stubbs sits down with Dr. Kathryn Schmitz, the world's leading authority in Exercise Oncology. Dr. Schmitz is the scientist who literally wrote the book on moving through cancer. She spearheaded the "Exercise is Medicine" initiative and has led over $30 million in research funding to prove that exercise changes the biology of cancer.We dive deep into why building a resilient body is your best defense, the specific "Move, Lift, Eat, Sleep, Log" framework, and how resistance training impacts survivorship.PLUS: Stay tuned until the very end for a "Science Spotlight" Bonus Segment. Shane breaks down new research highlighted by Dr. Rhonda Patrick on "Shear Stress"—explaining the physics of how vigorous exercise can mechanically destroy circulating tumor cells and reverse heart aging by 20 years.The Paradigm Shift: Why the old advice to "rest" during cancer treatment is being replaced by a prescription for movement.The Science: Dr. Schmitz's $30M+ research journey and her role in writing the ACSM guidelines for cancer survivors.The Protocol: The "Move, Lift, Eat, Sleep, Log" framework for building a body that can withstand the "Big Four" (Cancer, Heart Disease, Metabolic Dysfunction, Neurodegeneration).Exercise as Medicine: How specific doses of activity can alleviate symptoms, improve chemotherapy tolerance, and boost survival rates.BONUS Segment: The physics of Shear Stress. We discuss Dr. Rhonda Patrick's breakdown of how high-intensity blood flow can kill Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and scrub your arteries.Dr. Kathryn Schmitz is a Distinguished Professor of Public Health Sciences and a Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A trailblazer in the field of Exercise Oncology, she served as the President of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and founded the Moving Through Cancer initiative.With a PhD in Exercise Physiology, an MPH in Epidemiology, and over 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers, Dr. Schmitz is the foremost voice on the intersection of movement and malignancy.

As the federal government rolls back vaccination recommendations, where does that leave Coloradans, especially the parents of young children? We hear from a pediatrician and the state epidemiologist, who are working to address confusion -- and provide clarity. Then, art, as a form of healing and rehabilitation. Plus, a local grassroots non-profit celebrates 20 years working to keep Africa on the minds of Coloradans. And it's a Colorado Music Hall of Fame moment for Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.

Scot Danforth, author of the new biography "An Independent Man," talks about the life of Ed Roberts, who founded the Independent Living Movement. In the revolutionary 1960s, Roberts and his fellow Berkeley activists pioneered the disability rights fight. He later led change in Sacramento as California's Director of Rehabilitation, advocating for state legislation years before the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. But, as current threats show, hard-won gains like these can be taken away.
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! As we continue our series on planning for a successful 2026, today's episode dives into one of the most underestimated skills in entrepreneurship: the ability to keep momentum going and take imperfect action. Inspired by recent discussions inside our Incubator Mastermind—and my own journey navigating newborn twins, a growing clinic, and everyday life—this episode breaks down why perfectionism slows us down, how momentum creates opportunities, and why “I get to” is the mindset shift that changes everything. Whether you're solo or leading a team, whether you're overwhelmed or thriving, this episode will help you stay focused, stay grounded, and keep moving forward—one imperfect action at a time. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

Angela Nicolazzi grew up in Brooklyn before moving to Florida, where her life took a dramatic turn. She became a mother at just 14 years old, struggled to stay on a stable path, and by 19 found herself involved in an armed robbery with her brother and her child's father. That moment changed everything—Angela was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to 15 years in the Florida state prison system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Angela shares her full story: her childhood, early motherhood, the events that led to her arrest, what life inside a Florida prison was really like, and how she rebuilt her identity after serving more than a decade behind bars. #FloridaStatePrison #PrisonSurvival #PrisonStory #LockedInWithIanBick #InmateStories #PrisonLife #TrueCrimePodcast #redemptionstory Thank you to AURA FRAMES & k9S.ORG for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Jack Reed - The Next Evolution https://www.communityplanet.org/ The Next Evolution by Jack Reed Jack Reed is a man who genuinely cares about the planet—as a whole, not just the separate aspects of it. He has the courage to stand up and say what is becoming increasingly obvious yet is industriously being ignored: that our planet is in serious trouble, we are the cause of it, and we can fix it.He has spent over four decades studying, examining, considering and experimenting with ways to make this planet a better place, not just for the powerful few, but for everyone. Jack's studies have taken him far beyond the theoretical; for fifteen years he lived in an urban cooperative community, where he took on various aspects of the active leadership. With this hands-on experience, he, as part of the visionary Community Planet group, developed a concept of Community that is generations apart from the commonly accepted process where individual power so often drives the outcomes. To support the evolved Community, Jack established, tested, and refined a consensus process that is practical and actually produces outcomes that are for the “Highest Good” of all concerned. He has taken that process on the road, nationally and internationally, in the form of classes and workshops, and for a number of years has been consulting with corporations and non-profit organizations in the area of team building. In order to give people a direct experience of cooperative living, Jack designed and implemented a class in consensus decision-making, which he has facilitated in a variety of settings. Finally, he co-founded the Community Planet Foundation, a non-profit organization whose purpose is the creation and demonstration of planned cooperative communities that will enable people to live in greater harmony with themselves, each other, and their environments. The vision of CPF was established in their 45 page Community description document which provided the foundation for Jack's book, The Next Evolution. Among his clients are The Educare Foundation, True North Leadership, The Wilderness Institute, The University of Southern California, Loyola-Mary mount University, California State University at Northridge, California State Dept. of Rehabilitation, The Peace Theological Seminary, The Institute of Individual and World Peace, The Los Angeles Unified School District, and Amgen. Jack is truly a visionary who sees the world as an interconnected whole. His first book, The Next Evolution: A Blueprint For Transforming The Planet is a practical manual for creating Community and saving this planet, our home. CPF's vision is: A world that works for everyone created by people living and working together in thriving, cooperative, sustainable Communities based on the Highest Good of all life. CPF's mission is: To educate and mobilize people to create a model large-scale cooperative Community demonstrating a happier, healthier, more fulfilling and abundant way of living that will inspire replication and lead to a world that works for everyone. A cooperative Community enables people to see what is possible Imagine a more abundant lifestyle in Community. Imagine living in a Community of loving, nurturing friends who live and work together in harmony with themselves, each other, and all life. Nature flourishes on hundreds of beautiful acres, and food is grown organically, using modern growing techniques and edible landscaping. This retreat-like setting provides easy access to walk the land and play and enjoy the outdoors. When residents are finished doing meaningful and fulfilling work, they still have an abundance of time to participate in the full array of growth, creative, and recreational opportunities. Organized sports, music, movies, good conversation, and other fun and relaxing activities are freely available, and the residents enjoy them with friends within walking distance.

This video is part of a Ukrainian Advert series, celebrating Ukrainian voices, culture and resilience, ahead of Christmas Day. The project is kindly supported by maker of the film: The Steel Porcupine.#ONE: Andrew Chakhoyan is a Ukrainian American based in the Netherlands and is a vocal and articulate champion of Ukraine and its cause. ----------The Steel Porcupine https://www.thesteelporcupine.com/I'm proud to say that this series of ‘Ukrainian advent' interviews is supported by The Steel Porcupine – a unique and powerful film about a country that refuses to lie down, a people who turned themselves into a fortress of needles when Russian tanks rolled in. The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia's campaign of extermination in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people's spirit to resist and prevail. It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two. Set to a haunting soundtrack featuring music by Philip Glass, and blending rare archival footage with original material, it is an impactful work of art and storytelling, as well as being informative.----------LINKS:https://x.com/ChakhoyanAndrewhttps://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/andrew-chakhoyan/https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-incrementalism-russia-war-president-volodymyr-zelenskyy-truth/ ----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN 12 Events in 12 months - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! In this episode, we continue our theme of planning for 2026—but through a different lens: building a business that supports your life, your family, and your personal journey, not the other way around. I share reflections from the past few months of raising twins, lessons from my original “Walk of Freedom” back in 2017, and why freedom—mindset freedom, time freedom, and personal freedom—is one of the greatest gifts entrepreneurship can offer. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in the hamster wheel of business ownership, this episode will remind you that you deserve a business that gives you life—not one that drains it. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
Today on The Great Drive, we're diving into a campaign that's been making waves across KwaZulu-Natal, the KZN Department of Transport's #NenzaniLaEzweni.It's a province-wide crackdown targeting reckless driving, illegal trucking operations, unroadworthy vehicles, and drivers operating without proper documentation. Week after week, the RTI teams have been out on the roads, impounding trucks, arresting offenders, and pulling unsafe vehicles out of circulation. The goal? Reduce road carnage and save lives. As always, there are two sides to this conversation. If you missed it live, listen in!
In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS talks to Christian Leonakis, PT, DPT, Alanna Wathen, PT, DPT, and Danielle Parmenter, MOT, OTR/L, SCLV about Myomo and the MyoPro upper extremity myoelectric orthosis. The world of neurological rehabilitation, innovation continues to push the boundaries of what's possible for patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological conditions. Enter Myomo, a groundbreaking myoelectric orthosis that's changing lives one arm movement at a time. This isn't just another medical device—it's a personalized technology that acts like a "helping hand" for individuals struggling with upper extremity mobility. Weighing approximately three and a half pounds, the Myomo device uses advanced EMG sensors to amplify even the smallest voluntary muscle contractions, allowing patients to regain functional movement. What sets Myomo apart is its commitment to patient-centered care. The device isn't a one-size-fits-all solution but a custom-fitted orthosis that patients take home after approximately 10 weeks of specialized training. Designed to look almost like something out of a sci-fi movie—think Iron Man's arm technology—the device comes in customizable colors and helps patients perform everyday tasks like opening doors, carrying groceries, or even walking their dog. The team behind Myomo, including clinical experts like Christian Leonakis, Alanna Wathen, and Danielle Parmenter, are passionate rehabilitation professionals who understand that recovery is a complex journey. They emphasize that while the device can be transformative, patients need realistic expectations: some might see compensatory improvements, while rare cases might experience significant neurological recovery. With Medicare coverage now available and ongoing technological developments promised for 2026, Myomo represents more than just a medical device—it's a beacon of hope for those seeking to reclaim independence and functionality after neurological challenges. For clinicians and patients interested in learning more, Myomo's website offers comprehensive resources and screening processes to determine individual suitability for this innovative technology. https://myomo.com/ LinkedIn.com/in/alanna-wathen linkedin.com/in/danielle-parmenter
Subspecialization in physiatry is classically thought of as a process that occurs through fellowship training as a result of narrowing interests during residency, but are there other ways to achieving similar expertise? Our RFC Technology Subcommittee member Michael Blatt met with Dr. Raymond Chou, a hand and upper extremity rehabilitation specialist at Stanford University, to learn more about how his job search as a resident led him to upper extremity rehabilitation.

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! As we continue preparing for 2026, today's episode dives into one of the most overlooked—and most powerful—skills a rehabpreneur can develop: finding the unasked question.Because too often we stay stuck, overwhelmed, or spinning our wheels not because we don't have answers… but because we're asking the wrong questions. In this episode, we explore how to use Thinking Time, strategic reflection, and better question-framing to unlock clarity, reduce overwhelm, and move your business forward with confidence. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: William J. Casey III, M.D. and Andrea L. Cheville, M.D. There are numerous reasons a patient may develop swelling of an extremity. One of the less common reasons, but often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed is lymphedema. What is lymphedema, why does it occur and who's at risk for it? Early recognition is important to prevent complications and primary care providers play a crucial role in identifying patients with lymphedema, coordinating their care and providing follow-up. How can we differentiate lymphedema from other causes of swelling? What are the potential complications if lymphedema is not correctly diagnosed and finally, what are some of the latest treatments available for the management of lymphedema? The topic for this podcast is “Lymphedema: Challenges and Success” and my guests include Andrea L. Cheville, M.D., a physician in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and William J. Casey, III, M.D., a physician in the Department of Plastic Surgery, both at the Mayo Clinic.
