Energy Vets, Taranaki | Starting Out as a New GradIn this REAL+STORY episode, Julie South speaks with Dr Sieara Claytor, a 2025 graduate working in her very first full-time veterinary role at Energy Vets in Taranaki.Sieara moved from the United States to study in Australia and has now started her career in rural New Zealand. Six months in, she's already managing emergencies, assisting in surgeries beyond routine desexings, handling after-hours responsibilities, and working across two clinic branches.Rather than focusing on “graduate programs” or formal structures, this conversation looks at what support actually feels like day to day — senior vets scrubbing in alongside her, nurses staying late when needed, multiple vets available when things get busy, and space to ask questions without hesitation.Sieara also talks about adjusting to rural life, commuting without traffic lights, wildlife cases, pig-hunting injuries, and the reality of after-hours in a regional clinic.If you're a new graduate — or someone mentoring one — this episode gives a clear sense of what challenge-with-backup looks like in practice.In This Episode00:00 – Introduction to the REAL+STORY series with Energy Vets01:05 – Sieara's background and first impressions as a new grad03:30 – Rural caseload: emergencies, variety, and learning fast04:52 – What support in surgery actually looks like06:43 – Realising you're more capable than you thought07:56 – Moving countries and adjusting to rural life09:16 – How after-hours really works11:32 – Differences between the two clinic branches12:50 – The early-career lens on Energy VetsHiring LinkIf you're an experienced small animal vet exploring your next step, you can find out more about current opportunities at Energy Vets Taranaki About Julie SouthJulie South is the founder of VetClinicJobs and host of Veterinary Voices.She works with veterinary clinics that want to show what working there is really like — not just list job requirements.

Los vecinos del rural de Ferrol han recibido con escepticismo y preocupación los anuncios realizados por el alcalde, José Manuel Rey Varela, durante la reciente reunión mantenida con representantes de asociaciones vecinales. Aunque el regidor trasladó avances sobre el proyecto de saneamiento y otras actuaciones previstas en las parroquias, parte del movimiento vecinal considera que los principales asuntos pendientes siguen acumulando retrasos. Entre las principales preocupaciones figuran la ejecución del saneamiento en varias zonas rurales, mejoras en infraestructuras viarias y otras actuaciones comprometidas desde hace años. Los colectivos vecinales señalan que, pese a los compromisos y reuniones periódicas, muchos de estos proyectos continúan sin plazos claros de ejecución. Desde las asociaciones reclaman mayor agilidad administrativa y un calendario concreto de actuaciones que permita avanzar en demandas históricas del rural, insistiendo en la necesidad de que los anuncios institucionales se traduzcan en obras reales.

In this episode, we set the Elevator of History to the Kentucky portion of the Appalachians where we check out the Packhorse Librarians.  Women, funded by the WPA, who brought books into the hoots and hollers of Kentucky, providing reading and kinship in rural communities who otherwise would have no access to books.  They traveled on mules and horses carrying books in saddlebags and pillowcases to needy communities and while they only lasted a short time, they helped change rural Kentucky and make it part of the modern world and helped raise the rate of illiteracy from 31 percent to just 5 percent in the 1940s.  We cover the history, notable packhorse librarians and do our best to honor the history of these 'book women'.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Dr. Mary O'Connor talks with Angela Strain, Executive Director of We Care Jax. For over 30 years, this organization has connected uninsured and under-resourced neighbors to lifesaving specialty care.   Angela shares powerful patient stories and draws on years of experience to show what it takes to remove barriers, build trust, and create a safety net that truly helps people. She explains real-world obstacles like transportation, language barriers, and the financial burden of illness, and highlights community-driven solutions that help people get the care they need.   Angela and Dr. O'Connor discuss We Care Jax's approach and share stories from the patients they serve, exploring topics such as: Community health workers use persistence, trust, and cultural insight to uncover the real reasons behind missed appointments or labels like “non‑compliant.” Common specialty needs include cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, and advanced imaging, supported by a network of volunteer physicians. Transportation support, hotel stays, translation services, and food access function as essential parts of healthcare, not optional add‑ons. Florida's expansion of the Volunteer Provider Program and the urgent need for increased dental funding are highlighted as key policy issues. Peer‑to‑peer physician recruitment, strong hospital partnerships, and donor investment help sustain a model rooted in community trust. Angela also talks about the heart of her work: making sure every patient leaves with no medical debt, their dignity intact, and a real chance to heal. Her stories, including patients moving from homelessness to stable housing and from fear to treatment, show why compassionate, community-centered care is so important.   This episode is full of stories and insights for anyone working in health equity, community health, philanthropy, public health, or systems change.   Subscribe to hear more conversations about community-driven solutions, health equity, and efforts to eliminate disparities.

In this episode of The Other Side of Campus, hosts Jen Moon and Katie Dawson speak with Charles Di Piazza from the UT School of Architecture about his Rural Architecture Studio course. Charles takes students to Terlingua, near Big Bend National Park, where they work alongside local partners to explore sustainable design rooted in place.From earthen construction and compressed earth blocks to the design of potential teacher housing for the local school district, the studio invites students to connect ideas with material practice. Along the way, they learn how environmental constraints, traditional building knowledge, and community collaboration can shape better architecture.Professor Di Piazza describes the project as an “experiment in reciprocity,” where knowledge flows in both directions between the university and rural Texas communities. The result is a powerful model for experiential learning, sustainable design, and meaningful engagement beyond campus.The Fall 2025 class description...Earthen Grounds: Graduate Studio in West TexasIn partnership with Bob Estrin, Director of the School of Constructive Arts (SCA) in Alpine, Charles Di Piazza leads this new graduate design studio, building on the work in Marathon, Texas. Earthen Grounds brings Di Piazza's interest in vernacular architecture, massive construction, and courtyard housing and combines it with Estrin's focus on regenerative design and hands-on building practices.The studio asks students to envision new models of sustainable housing and walkable communities for dryland environments. Beginning with the study of precedents spanning nearly 9,000 years, students will explore the fundamental relationships between people, climate, space, and place before applying their research to a site in the Chihuahuan Desert near SCA. The class includes a trip to Big Bend to participate in an earthen construction workshop on the SCA campus.The studio's research and proposals aim to generate ideas for affordable housing in the Big Bend region and beyond. This work is supported by a grant from the Still Water Foundation, whose generosity makes this collaboration possible.CreditsHosts: Jen Moon & Katie DawsonMusic by various artists: "Arizona Moon" by Blue Dot Sessions, "Lyanetha" by John Bartmann, "Help Me" by Eme HacheTheme track: "Soul Sync" by KetsaExecutive Producer: Michelle Daniel

SummaryThe latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast shines a spotlight on the enduring legacy and forward-thinking strategies of ACC Capital (formerly Arkansas Capital Corporation). Host Caleb Talley, joined by Jeff Amerine, welcomes Sam Walls, who shares the rich history and impact of ACC in Arkansas's entrepreneurial ecosystem.From its inception in the 1950s, ACC played a pivotal role in driving economic development and entrepreneurship in a state once plagued by poverty and limited capital. Sam details how ACC, born out of the vision of leaders like Winthrop Rockefeller, became a “third leg” in supporting capital needs, working alongside the state and private sector to bring manufacturing to Arkansas. Over the decades, ACC expanded its services, from pioneering SBA and USDA-guaranteed lending to launching Arkansas's first in-state SBIC venture capital fund and leading initiatives like the Governor's Cup business plan competition.Additionally, the episode highlights ACC's bold leap into the federal EB-5 immigrant investor program, which contributed nearly six hundred million dollars to transformative projects like Big River Steel in Mississippi County. For those passionate about economic development, this episode is an inspiring look at how steady vision and adaptability can create lasting impact.

On episode 191 of Kliq This, Big Sexy is back from the UK, and let's just say he has some thoughts on the difference between a "British" workout and a "Detroit" one. If you're looking for a dry recap, look elsewhere; this episode is about the "unfiltered" Nash experience. The Highlights The UK Roundup: Nash breaks down his recent tour across the pond. Expect stories about the grueling travel schedule, the hospitality (or lack thereof), and how he manages to maintain his physique while living on the road in a different time zone. The Je'Von Evans Firestorm: Nash addresses the backlash from his "Mr. Bojangles" and "urban" comments. He doesn't just walk it back; he digs into his philosophy on "edge" in wrestling and why he thinks the young star is being "over-pushed" in a direction that lacks grit. Wrestler Safety 101: From his terrifying 1997 descent as Sting to why "Hell in a Cell" should actually stay inside the cell, Nash gives a masterclass on the "tricks of the trade" that kept him walking (mostly) after decades in the ring. Financial Rants: He channels his inner Warren Buffett to tear into "modern-day Ponzi schemes" like Bitcoin and paper silver. If it doesn't produce something tangible, Big Kev isn't buying it. The "Mount Nashmore" of Booze: Who can actually hang with the big men after the show? Nash crowns his picks for the wrestlers who could hold their liquor, featuring the likes of The Undertaker, Stone Cold, and Scott Hall. Why It's a Must-Listen This isn't just a wrestling podcast; it's cultural commentary. Whether he's dissecting Trump's Canadian tariffs or explaining why Hulk Hogan used to hide his blade in his mouth, Nash remains the most opinionated—and arguably most entertaining—veteran in the game. 00:00 Kliq This #191: UK Roundup 00:56 Urban vs Rural 03:20 Robert Duvall 12:12 MT Nashmore Duvall 17:25 The Pay for Magic Mike 22:28 UK tour 24:41 Dropping "Snakes" 26:06 The Tour 28:53 Swerve Stickland 30:20 Tim Robinson 31:48 BREAK MUD/WTR 36:59 "Be Educating me" 39:17 "Kevin, This is how you remind me of how great the podcast is!" 41:01 Sean has no IDEA what body building is 41:56 Why kev work 48:19 "huge thing of your life" 50:20 Being gifted artwork 59:07 Justin Credible 01:00:44 KTTV 01:02:47 KEV I WATCHED RAW… 01:06:19 Jevon Evans 01:11:56 "One of the Good ones" 01:15:03 Jevon Evans' presentation 01:21:54 BREAK BLUECHEW 01:23:56 EC Predictions 01:27:32 FL vs NJ 01:29:41 VKM car crash 01:33:35 01:33:35 BREAK MANDO 01:37:58 ASKNASH 01:38:26 Swerve v Kenny 01:39:43 Why didn't Steve Austin put over Scott Hall at Wrestlemania 01:41:50 Reggie White 01:43:13 Ric Flair keeping his clothes on 01:43:55 Wrestlemania tickets looking bad 01:47:43 Running to the ring during the Royal Rumble 01:48:30 OUTRO

Changes to KiwiSaver rules mean young farm workers can now use their balances to buy a first home without having to live in it. Share milker Danielle Hovmand is one of those young farmers looking to capitalise on the change and spoke to Corin Dann.

KiwiSaver rules are changing for the rural sector and livestock carriers are operating full throttle with an unprecedented level of activity. The morning's rural news with Gianina Schwanecke.

Farmers say new KiwiSaver rules are a win for rural staff looking to buy property. Farm workers, rural teachers, police and defence personnel can now use KiwiSaver to buy their first home, or even a farm, due to the Government lifting a long-standing restriction. Previously, these workers were blocked because their jobs required living in employer-provided housing. Federated Farmers' Dairy Chair Karl Dean told Mike Hosking that there's about 50,000 farms nationwide, most with just one or two staff living onsite. He expects 10 to 20% to take this option.

Most development histories focus on large-scale projects and multi-year plans. But how would we understand development differently if we chose a different starting point? In Village Work: Development and Rural Statecraft in Twentieth-Century Ghana (Ohio UP, 2021), Alice Wiemers exchanges the center for the periphery. Writing outwards from Kpasenpke, a village in northern Ghana, Wiemers shows how the daily labor of rural people, local officials and family networks have all shaped a practice of rural statecraft centered on developmentalism. By insisting on the specificity of the hinterland and interchangeability of its so-called “developers”, Village Work proposes a new framework for approaching Ghana's twentieth century.

Families in rural areas of New York say it is increasingly difficult to find child care. According to a report from the Children's Agenda, seven rural counties in Western New York shows can be characterized as child care deserts, where there are more than three children under the age of five per licensed child care slot for children in that age group. Structural and funding issues are contributing to the challenges, and providers point to low child care educator pay as a critical factor in the availability of reliable care. So what can be done? Our guests discuss it: Pete Nabozny, director of policy for The Children's Agenda Rachel Bonsignore, executive director of Liftoff Western New York Kathleen Valley, executive board member for Praising Kids Child Care Center in Medina  Taryn Moyle, child care resource center program manager for Community Action of Orleans and Genesee, Inc.

Bhavana (Tina) Bhatnagar, DO—Associate Professor of Medicine at the WVU Cancer Institute—shares her journey from academic centers to rural West Virginia, where she's working to expand access and improve outcomes for underserved communities. We talk about what high-quality rural cancer care really takes: overcoming transportation and financial barriers, navigating limited specialty resources, building community-based clinical trials, and expanding access to innovations like CAR T—powered by strong multidisciplinary teams.Key takeaway: the best care starts with understanding the person behind the patient.

https://teachhoops.com/ Coaching in a rural area presents a distinct set of hurdles—smaller talent pools, limited facility access, and players who are often "multi-sport" by necessity rather than choice. However, the greatest strength of a rural program is its community identity. In a small town, the basketball team isn't just an extracurricular activity; it is the "Front Porch" of the community. To build a winning culture here, you must embrace the "Small-Town Synergy." This means working closely with other coaches in your building to share athletes rather than competing for them. When the football, basketball, and baseball coaches are aligned, you create a "year-round athlete" who is physically resilient and understands how to compete in high-pressure environments. The "what and where" of teaching in a rural setting must be extremely efficient. Because many of your players may have chores, farm responsibilities, or long commutes, you cannot afford "dead time" in your practice. You must prioritize "Multi-Skill Drills" that maximize every minute. Furthermore, because you don't have the luxury of "cutting" players to find the perfect fit, you must be a "Developer of People." Your system must be flexible enough to fit the kids you have, not the kids you wish you had. If your "Center" is a 6'1" athletic farm kid, you might need to run a "Five-Out" or "Positionless" offense rather than a traditional post-up game. Finally, a major challenge in rural coaching is the "Exposure Gap." Players in remote areas often miss out on the high-level AAU competition found in urban centers. To bridge this, you must "bring the elite environment to them." Utilize TeachHoops member calls to stay updated on modern tactical trends and use film study to show your players what collegiate-level intensity looks like. Organize "Team Travel" to college games or larger tournaments to expand their "Basketball IQ" and vision of what is possible. When you combine the "Work Ethic" inherent in rural communities with modern, high-level coaching "X's and O's," you create a program that is consistently "punching above its weight class" come playoff time.

Mike McCabe sits down with Brian MacLean, Assistant Chief of Cooper County (Missouri) Ambulance, to explore the realities of rural EMS. Serving 569 square miles in central Missouri, MacLean's team manages thousands of calls each year—with transport times stretching up to 90 minutes since their local hospital closed. MacLean shares why rural EMS demands sharp clinical skills, resilience, and total confidence in your equipment. He offers candid insight into fleet decisions, explaining why his agency chose Crestline ambulances for their cost-effectiveness, faster delivery, smart layout, and safety-focused design. Drawing on personal experience from an ambulance-involved crash, he underscores how vehicle design and properly secured equipment can make all the difference. Sponsored by Crestline Ambulances

Rural communities across the United States are facing a sustained decline in access to primary care. Since 2017, the number of family physicians practicing in rural areas has dropped by more than 10%, according to a report published late last year. In many regions, that reduction has implications for care capacity, hospital stability and long-term workforce planning. In the second part of the conversations, host J. Carlisle Larsen speaks with Colleen Fogarty, M.D. of the University of Rochester about the structural factors shaping the rural physician workforce and what it will take to strengthen it, examining rural residency programs, medical training pipelines, immigration pathways and loan repayment incentives as policy levers aimed at stabilizing rural access to care. You can listen to the first half of the conversation here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
