Podcast appearances and mentions of robert kearns

Send us a textDebbie Reynolds “The Data Diva” talks to Peter Cranstone, CEO, 3PMobile, Digital Ecosystems and Consumer Choice. We discuss his personal journey in technology, beginning with his early work on data compression inspired by his uncle. He discusses the creation of the Do Not Track web standard aimed at enhancing user privacy, which faced challenges due to consumer preferences for convenience. Despite the introduction of privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, he notes that users often prioritize instant gratification over privacy. His collaboration with a Kaiser Permanente executive shifted his focus from IT architecture to business strategy, broadening his understanding of how technology can be tailored to meet individual needs in healthcare.Cranstone also recountes the historical evolution of windshield wipers, illustrating how innovation can take time to gain public acceptance. He highlightes the contributions of Mary Anderson and Robert Kearns, emphasizing the importance of gradual acceptance in automotive technology. Additionally, he discusses the complexities of engaging patients in their health management, proposing a dynamic app that allows for continuous interaction with healthcare providers, thereby addressing the challenges posed by an aging population.The conversation shifts to data privacy and decentralization, with Cranstone advocating for a secure wallet system that empowers users to manage their data. He argues for a trusted web model where individuals are compensated for sharing their information, contrasting it with current practices that often exploit user data. Cranstone also addresses the need for equitable resource distribution, suggesting that the value generated by major tech companies could be redirected to alleviate issues like food insecurity. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of AI in personalizing user interactions while maintaining privacy, advocating for a moral approach to data management that respects individuals and promotes equitable distribution, and his data privacy hope for the future.Support the show

Robert Kearns reflects on his time as Chair of the Canada Ireland Foundation

Legislature never approved tactical unit A tactical police unit that has responded to barricaded and armed suspects over nearly two decades has been disbanded because, according to Putnam County, the Legislature never approved an intermunicipal agreement with police from Carmel and Kent. County Attorney C. Compton Spain, in a Dec. 4 letter to Sheriff Kevin McConville, said the department "should immediately abandon and discontinue all involvement" with the Emergency Response Team (ERT), which was composed of 19 deputies and six officers from the towns of Carmel and Kent. The participation of deputies in the team presented "clear insurance coverage liability issues," said Spain, because the Putnam Legislature never approved the unit, which was formed around 2005 to respond to serious incidents such as bomb threats and hostage situations. "For this reason alone, the presently constructed ERT necessitates immediate termination," he said. McConville, during a tense 1-hour meeting of the Legislature's Protective Services Committee on Dec. 18, said the problem emerged after Undersheriff Thomas Lindert contacted the Personnel Department about fitness tests for new members of the team. The Personnel Department was "shocked" to discover that the tests, instead of being arranged by its staff as is protocol, were being administered by ERT members, as per usual practice, said McConville. That led to a conversation with the Law Department and the "eye-opening" disclosure, he said. A team made up solely of deputies will replace the ERT, based on advice from Spain, said McConville. The team will no longer share with Carmel and Kent a federal grant that had been split among the three agencies, he said. Nancy Montgomery, who represents Philipstown on the county Legislature, and officials from Carmel and Kent suggested that the Legislature could simply approve an intermunicipal agreement instead of having a team of deputies. But McConville said that crafting an agreement would take time. "Our greatest concern was being able to stand up a team immediately that could respond," he said. "We would be, alternatively, liable had we not." Despite the Law Department's determination, McConville spent part of the meeting fending off criticisms from Carmel and Kent officials. Robert Kearns, a member of Carmel's Town Board, said the disbanding "seems like a power grab," and Kevin Owens, chief of the Kent Police Department, said no one alerted him to concerns about the team before he received the Law Department's letter. "We feel like it was backdoored intentionally," he said. Michael Cazzari, Carmel's supervisor and a former police chief for the town's police department, said he was involved in forming a countywide team rather than continuing to wait for tactical teams from the state police and Westchester County to arrive at emergency scenes in Putnam. "It's foolish to go the route that you're going and I don't think it's insurance," he said. "We were covered; Kent's covered." Their officers and sheriff's deputies assigned to the ERT have negotiated with armed suspects at a number of incidents. The unit responded in September 2021 to an hours-long standoff in Putnam Valley when medics answering to a call about a person with chest pains were confronted by a man armed with a shotgun. The incident ended when the man used the shotgun to commit suicide. Negotiators with the ERT convinced, in March 2020, an armed, suicidal man in the Town of Southeast to surrender after a two-hour standoff. They also negotiated the surrender, in November 2019, of an armed man barricaded for six hours inside a residence in Carmel. McConville told the Protective Services Committee that the Sheriff's Department is finalizing an internal response team that will be led by Capt. James Schepperly, who has been consulting with the state police and Westchester County, who each have response teams. Westchester County has already scheduled training sessions with Putnam's deputies, said...

I would still encourage people to download the episodes and to share them with friends and family. Downloads are the easiest indicator for me to gauge how many people I am reaching with these conversations so I would really appreciate it. Robert arrived in Toronto in 1979 not knowing how life would pan out for him. With a degree in Archaeology and Greek and Roman Civilization from UCD, he could scarcely have imagined that he would find and become President of his own insurance firm; Kearns Insurance Corporation. What drew me to Robert was his incessant work with the Irish community in Toronto, especially the Ireland Fund of Canada from 1980-2004, serving as its Chair from 1989-1992. Along with being a Director of the America Ireland Fund, he is also a Founding Director of the Ireland Canada Chamber of Commerce and remains a member to this day. In terms of my own work at the University of St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto, Robert  served as Chairman of the Campaign for Celtic Studies and is an Honorary Fellow of the university. At the moment, Robert is the Chair and founder of the  Canada Ireland Foundation, which created Ireland Park and Grasett Park in Toronto, and is now in the midst of developing The Corleck, a new arts, culture and heritage venue set to open soon on Toronto's waterfront.

This Tiny Desk concert was part of Tiny Desk Fest, a four-night series of extended concerts performed in front of a live audience and streamed live on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Dec. 3, 2019 | Stephen Thompson -- "I heard a big thing on NPR about the shrinking of the attention span and how now, with pop songs, everything has like six seconds before you gotta change it, because the kids swipe over," Sheryl Crow tells the crowd early in her Tiny Desk Fest concert. "I'm just gonna tell you right now: We're dinosaurs. ... And while the kids are all writing fast food — which is super-cool 'cause it tastes great, super-filling — we're sort of still writing salmon. We're the songwriters that are here to tax your attention span." Twenty-five years ago this fall, Crow was in the midst of a massive career breakthrough: Her inescapable hit "All I Wanna Do" was entrenched in the Top 5 — it would later win the Grammy for Record of the Year — and her 1993 debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club, was well on its way to selling more than 7 million copies in the U.S. alone. The years since have been similarly kind. A heavily decorated but eternally approachable star, Crow has released 11 albums and won nine Grammys en route to her latest, a duets collection called Threads. For NPR's Tiny Desk Fest, Crow and her crack band of rock-and-roll lifers performed a 35-minute set (including two unexpected encores) that featured new material from Threads and a handful of hits that have morphed over the years into pop standards. From the easygoing opening strains of "All I Wanna Do" to the rousing final notes of "If It Makes You Happy," we were in some of the surest hands in the business.
