Welcome to The Big Cat People podcast! We're Jonathan and Angela Scott, award-winning wildlife photographers, authors and conservationists. We've have made our name documenting the lives of lions, leopards and cheetahs in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Today's episode is named '1998: Amber the Cheetah and the Battle at Bila Shaka, and it is the second episode in our ten part series named 'Big Cat Diary Uncut'. The second series of Big Cat Diary videoed in 1998 was one to remember, packed with action from all three big cats. Jonathan bears witness to a battle royal at Bila Shaka, the traditional birthplace of the Marsh Pride, as a herd of buffalo launch a deadly attack on the pride and its 11 tiny cubs. We meet the new pride males Scruffy and Scar who are instantly recognisable in looks and character. Simon catches up with the Mara's legendary cheetah known to the safari guides as Queen, who he renames Amber. Queen earned her name from her habit of jumping up and sitting on the bonnet of safari vehicles in regal style. We learn about her unusual start in life that prompted her car climbing habit. Her three subadult offspring - 2 males and a female - provide lots of action for the cheetah team, while our leopards Half-Tail and her year-and-a-half-old daughter Zawadi (now independent) generate plenty of high octane moments to keep Jonathan and our audience enthralled. Both Amber and Half-Tail are now 11 years old - old by big cat standards - and we can never be certain if or when we will see them again. As if to underline that point, Half-Tail comes close to losing her life when bushwhacked by two lionesses, while Zawadi demonstrates her hunting skills right in front of Jonathan's vehicle, all captured to perfection by cameraman Richard North. Roll on 2000! This podcast series is a continuing effort to educate and inspire our audience.

In which we cover Thor's legendary duel with Hrungnir. Unlike your average Norse duel, this one is actually intended to end in death. But the moral of the story is, whether you're nine miles tall or have a heart made of stone, you're just never a match for the awesome power of thunder.

MARK SUTHERLAND Following a phone call in 1992, Mark found himself taking responsibility for the production design and the construction of the sets of a low budget film, “White Angel”. The film is referenced in the industry respected Guerrilla Film Makers Handbook. “White Angel” was distributed in 35 cinemas including the West End of London. He contributed to the 2009 BBC Children's Festival, and has used his carpentry skills to work on a number of TV shows including ‘Strictly Come Dancing' and the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. Mark has latterly produced/co-produced a number of short films, notably “Pukka” written by the late Mark Straker in which Mark combined his film-making skills with his background in secondary education by employing film-making to teach English and Maths to young people through set design and construction. “Pukka” consequently won the Community Award at the 2004 Notting Hill Film Festival. Mark then co-produced “One of Us”, also written by Mark Straker, and this subsequently won the award for Best Drama at the Los Angeles Hollywood VSM [Very Short Movie] Film Festival, and Best Actor at the 2007 BFM [Black Film Makers] Festival. In 2009 Mark designed, built the set, and art directed the film “Jerome's Weakness” which was directed by Mathew McGuchan. In 2010 Mark was Co-Producer and Production Designer for the BBC2 feature film “SUS”, an adaption of Barrie Keeffe's classic play that starred Clint Dyer screened. In 2011 Mark shared the Production Design Credit for “Rahab”, a short film directed by Rob McLellan, starring David Oyelowo. Mark was also the Construction Manager responsible for the set construction. Mark teamed up again with Rob McLellan, writer/director, in 2013 to co-produce the multiple award winning short film, “ABE”, which went viral upon its internet release and was optioned by MGM to be developed as a full feature film. “ABE” also attracted interest from Sony Pictures and had a huge film festival run around the world. Mark had three productions in the 2014 London Sci-Fi Film Festival. Teaming up with Hughie Philips of Mind's Eye, Mark produced “Always the Sun”, directed by Rob McLellan. “Always the Sun” made it into the top 10 selection, along with another wonderful Sci-Fi short, “Mouse X”, directed by Justin Tagg, that Mark built the set for. ‘ABE' also screened at the Festival. Mark regularly appears on the Christian network Revelation TV “Politics Today” programme and is lauded as a valued and widely followed commentator on American culture and politics from both sides of the Atlantic. Mark produced “Between Lambs and Lions”, a political thriller set in a dystopian future where the American constitution is null and void and the Star Spangled Banner assigned to a museum. “Between Lambs and Lions” was directed and written by Ted Wilkes of Bottle Rocket Films and starred Paterson Joseph and Finbar Lynch. Producing “Between Lambs and Lions” has led to Mark having broadcasting opportunities in America. Mark cares passionately about what goes on in America and he contributes regularly to over twenty-five independent channels. Mark also made a documentary called “Flexcit the Movie”, the definitive guide to the UK leaving the EU. It was based on a lecture given by Richard North and Christopher Booker who wrote “The History of Europe” and “The Great Deception”. Mark produced his latest project, “The Iris Echo”, which has featured in film festivals in Florida, Maryland, Dublin, the Cannes Market Place and Derby in the UK. “The Iris Echo” is a drama depicting the corruption of communism which is particularly pertinent in today's political climate of Cultural Marxism that uses film to make people think and is what motivates Mark to produce films. Later in 2020 Mark will be contributing as the London commentator to a current news-based programme observing End Times Scriptural prophecy which will be airing on the JUL TV network.com out of California. Mark has recently had speaking engagements in the US at the “This West is Our West” gathering in Montana, “Therefore Go” in Ohio, and “Here the Watchmen Orange County” in California.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of _This Week in Spring_! In this installment, Josh Long talks to [Richard North (@whichrich)](https://twitter.com/whichrich) and [Sergei Egorov (@bsideup)](https://twitter.com/bsideup) about Testcontainers, their new company AtomicJars, and software licensing, among other things.

A podcast on Kids Media hosted by Jo Redfern and Andy Williams. In this episode, we chat with Richard North and Ian Downes about trends in Toys and Licensing.

In this week's episode of the Spine & Nerve podcast, Dr. Nicolas Karvelas and Dr. Brian Joves go back to Basics with a twist - the doctors discuss Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome (PSPS). PSPS is a new term that was recently proposed by an expert international committee to describe patients with chronic, severe pain of spinal origin, refractory to treatments, including at times surgery. Previously, certain diagnoses were utilized to describe these pathologies including but not limited to Failed Back Surgery Syndrome and Post-laminectomy syndrome.  These terms are not without their limitations: terms such as failed back surgery Syndrome can carry a very negative connotation, and also patients can have the clinical presentation consistent with this diagnosis without having a history of spine surgery (for example a chronic disc herniation can lead to the development of fibrosis around a nerve root ).   The aforementioned group of experts published an article in Pain Medicine in April of 2021 proposing the adoption of PSPS with the goal of continuing to optimize the most accurate diagnosis for all appropriate patients, advancement of research in this field, and communication between healthcare providers.     PSPS is not a single diagnosis, but rather an encompassing term that includes persistent painful disease processes of spinal origin linked to the predisposition of the human spine to develop painful pathology over time.  The distribution of the symptoms in PSPS can be axial and/or radicular, and although commonly involves the lumbosacral spine, the cervical and thoracic spine can be the site of pathology.  Importantly, spinal surgery may or may not have occurred, and may or many not be the primary contributor to the clinical presentation.     Listen as the doctors discuss the article regarding this important new nomenclature, as well as review some important pathophysiology for PSPS including epidural fibrosis and adjacent level syndrome.   This podcast is for information and educational purposes only, it is not meant to be medical or career advice. If anything discussed may pertain to you, please seek council with your healthcare provider. The views expressed are those of the individuals expressing them, they may not represent the views of Spine & Nerve. References: 1.

Der Auftakt in die PDC-Weltmeisterschaft 2019 verlief ereignisreich. Gleich vier deutsche Spieler sind an den Start gegangen, ergänzt um zwei Österreicher. Viel zu besprechen also für die Darts-Experten Kevin Barth, Sven Scharf und Christian Oehmicke, die sich auch schon mit dem verheißungsvollen Drittrundenduell zwischen Michael van Gerwen und Max Hopp beschäftigen. Der Maximizer behielt in seinem Auftaktmatch gegen Danny Noppert die Nerven und gewann klar mit 3:0. Gemischte GERfühle Leider ausgeschieden sind dagegen alle anderen deutschen Akteure. Martin Schindler unterlag Cody Harris knapp mit 2:3 und auch Robert Marijanovic verlor sein Erstrundenduell mit Richard North trotz 2:0-Führung noch mit 2:3. Beide Spieler vergaben gute Chancen, ihr Match zu gewinnen. Auch Gabriel Clemens hatte gute Möglichkeiten, wie Hopp in die 3. Runde einzuziehen, unterlag nach einem guten Auftakt gegen Aden Kirk (3:0) aber nach 2:1-Führung John Henderson mit 2:3. Clemens hatte gut mitgehalten, konnte aber am Ende nicht mehr gut genug punkten. Suljovic sensationell raus Eine Katastrophe erlebten die Österreicher am Donnerstag, als sowohl Rowby-John Rodriguez trotz einer 2:0-Führung noch gegen Cristo Reyes verlor, als auch Mensur Suljovic seine WM-Blockade erneut nicht in den Griff bekam und letztlich klar mit 1:3 gegen Ryan Searle verlor. Mit dem 46-jährigen verabschiedete sich nach Peter Wright und Simon Whitlock schon der dritte Spieler aus den Top 8 in der 2. Runde. Der formschwache Wright hatte gegen Toni Alcinas mit 1:3 verloren, während Whitlock überraschend klar mit 0:3 gegen Ryan Joyce den Kürzeren zog. Ansonsten hielten sich die ganz großen Überraschungen noch in Grenzen, die meisten Favoriten wurden ihrer Rolle mehr oder weniger gerecht. Auch Titelverteidiger Rob Cross, hinter dem die Double-Trouble-Experten in der Vorschau-Sendung noch ein paar Fragezeichen gesehen haben, hielt sich schadlos. Er gewann sein Auftaktmatch gegen Jeffrey de Zwaan mit 3:1. Es war das vielleicht beste Match der bisherigen WM, die vor allem mit ihrer Fülle an Spielern auf sich aufmerksam machte. Aber auch mit zwei weiblichen Teilnehmern, über die wir in unserer neuen Sendung natürlich ebenfalls sprechen. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?
