Stephen Grootes speaks to Dr Siphe Zantsi, agricultural economist at the Agricultural Research Council, about whether formal title deeds could improve economic wellbeing and investment in rural South Africa. While title deeds are often seen as a way to strengthen land security, unlock investment and provide access to finance, Zantsi’s research across seven former homeland areas found that more than 70% of rural respondents did not want title deeds.

Joanna Nathan, CEO and co-founder of Prana Surgical, adjunct professor at Rice University and a former MedTech investor who spent years at the J&J MedTech Center for Device Innovation before crossing over into building herself. Her company recently secured FDA clearance for the Prana System, a tissue-sparing platform rethinking how early stage lung cancer is diagnosed and treated.In this episode, Joanna shares the deeply personal story behind her move from investing back into operating, having lost her four year old son in 2021 and wanting proximity to patient impact rather than evaluating innovation from the sidelines. It is an honest and moving conversation about what actually drives someone to take on a decade-long mission.We get into what she learned watching hundreds of pitches from the investor seat, why a no is very often about portfolio construction and timing rather than the quality of your idea, and why a fundraising pitch is a vision document backed by evidence rather than a journal article. Joanna then breaks down the problem Prana is solving, why removing large portions of lung for a tiny early stage nodule is no longer justifiable and how the system is right-sized for the level of risk these smaller lesions present.We also explore the changing face of lung cancer, the rise of never smokers now approaching one in three patients, why the disease is getting younger and more female, the role of mobile screening in rural areas and where AI genuinely helps rather than replaces clinical judgement. Joanna closes with hard-won advice for anyone thinking about founding a company and why community is what carries you through.Timestamps[00:01:38] From Research to Investing to Building: The Path Back to Operating[00:03:33] Why a No From an Investor Is Rarely About Your Idea[00:05:29] Why a Pitch Is a Vision Document Not a Journal Article[00:07:16] The Problem With Early Stage Lung Cancer Surgery Today[00:09:22] The Rise of Never Smokers and a Disease That Is Changing Fast[00:11:03] Why Women Under 50 Now Face Higher Lung Cancer Rates[00:13:18] Getting Creative on Access: Mobile CT Screening in Rural Areas[00:17:21] AI in MedTech: Assisting Clinical Judgement Not Replacing It[00:19:22] How Houston Became an Unlikely MedTech Powerhouse[00:24:06] Who Should Not Become a Founder and the Decade-Long QuestionConnect with Joanna - linkedin.com/in/joannacnathan/Learn more about Prana Surgical - https://www.pranasurgical.com/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ Follow Karandeep on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwalMedical device training courses delivered by Karandeep through Bywater - https://www.bywater.co.uk/
Liz Peek reports the US economy remains robust, driven by strong consumer spending in rural areas like Connecticutand Lancaster County. Peek highlights rising small business and consumer confidence despite increasing gasoline prices. Attention shifts to new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, who may end "dot plot" forecasting. Warsh aims to be more "taciturn," forcing markets to rely on incoming data rather than Fed projections. (1)1903
A coalition of rural Alaska Native villages is launching an initiative to boost veterinary care as a way to improve public health. They aim to cut down on the increasing number of feral dogs that pose a risk to residents by offering better spay and neuter services. They also hope a vaccination program can lower the spread of rabies. Alaska Native Rural Veterinary Inc. and the Alaska Federation of Natives are moving ahead after federal legislation stalled in Congress. We’ll talk with those called to bring veterinary care to rural communities — with or without government support — to keep animals and people safe.

A new SECTION27 report says South Africa's 2025 health budget does not meet the needs of women, particularly those in poor and rural areas. It finds under investment in infrastructure is limiting access to care, while floods and heatwaves are damaging facilities and increasing demand.The report notes 89% of professional nurses are women and that women do most unpaid care work, yet funding to support them remains low. SECTION27 is calling for a gender-responsive and climate-resilient health budget and says government must close the gap between policy commitments and actual spending. We spoke to SECTION27 Budget Analyst, Matshidiso Lenqcoasa.

The Government is expected to sign off today on new draft planning guidelines for one-off housing in rural and Gaeltacht areas.Under the proposals, local authorities will be told not to take an "overly prescriptive" approach to rural housing applications. The aim is to make it easier for people to secure planning permission to build a home and live in these communities.Will these changes help tackle the housing crisis, or will their impact be limited? And how welcoming are rural communities to new people moving into the area?Joining Andrea to discuss is President of Macra na Feirme, Josephine O'Neil, Town Planner Derek Whyte, Jacqueline Hogge from the Irish Farmer's Journal, Munster Regional Chair with the Irish Farmers' Association, Conor O'Leary and listeners.
President Xi Jinping has called for solid measures to advance the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, emphasizing the need to guide farmers to create a better life with hard work and wisdom.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks during an inspection tour on Wednesday to the city of Dezhou, East China's Shandong province.He said that the modernization of agriculture and rural areas is crucial to the overall development and quality of Chinese modernization.It is important to enhance the capacity, quality and efficiency of agricultural production, ensure the stable supply of grain and other important agricultural products, and promote the construction of livable, business-friendly, harmonious and beautiful villages according to local conditions, Xi said.The inspection trip came at the time of the summer grain harvest in rural areas. Attaching great importance to the work related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers, Xi has said on various occasions that efforts must be made to ensure food security, drive rural vitalization on all fronts and promote common prosperity.At Dongyujia, a village in Dezhou's Lingcheng district, Xi heard reports about local agricultural production, learning about wheat harvests, corn planting and farming supplies in local areas. He inspected water and fertilizer integration facilities and chatted with grain growers, machinery operators and agricultural technicians.He said that ensuring the stable supply of grain and other important agricultural products is the top priority of agricultural production.Xi underlined the need to implement policies that support grain production, saying that efforts must be made to stabilize farming supplies and their prices, and actively apply varieties of grain that suit local conditions, as well as advanced technologies and equipment, in· order to steadily increase yields and efficiency, striving for a bountiful grain harvest for the year.He also called for improving agricultural infrastructure, enhancing the efficiency of water use, and strengthening efforts in monitoring and providing early warnings for disastrous weather to strengthen the capability in agricultural disaster prevention, mitigation and relief.While visiting Xiyujia village, Xi inquired in detail about how the village strengthens the Party organization and provides services to the villagers.Xi expressed the hope that village Party organizations would further leverage the guiding role of Party building and make new achievements in building a beautiful and harmonious countryside for people to live and work in. He urged sustained efforts to reduce the burden for grassroots officials so that they have more time and energy to serve the people and promote development.Xi also visited the home of Yu Xinhui, a farmer in the village, looking around at the home furnishings and sitting down with the family to chat about everyday matters. Xi asked about their work and incomes, the health of the elderly and children's education, and inquired in detail about whether the Party's policies on agriculture, rural areas and farmers had been fully implemented.He pointed out that establishing and practicing a correct understanding of governance performance is ultimately aimed at improving the well-being of the people.Party members and officials must enhance their sense of serving the people, strengthen the bond with the people, and do more good things, be down-to-earth and address difficulties for the people, thereby genuinely enhancing the people's sense of fulfillment, happiness and security, he said.As Xi left the village, villagers warmly saw him off. He noted that July 1 marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, highlighting the remarkable achievements the country has made under the leadership of the CPC over the past 105 years.As the nation is embarking on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, Xi called on all the people around the country to work in solidarity to create a brighter future and continuously meet the people's aspirations for a better life.He wished that the villagers would build beautiful homes and have better lives under the Party's leadership.modernization /ˌmɒdənəˈzeɪʃn/现代化vitalization /ˌvaɪtəlaɪˈzeɪʃn/振兴、焕发生机prosperity /prɒˈsperəti/繁荣、富足infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə(r)/基础设施governance /ˈɡʌvənəns/治理、施政solidarity /ˌsɒlɪˈdærəti/团结、同心协力
Data from satellites around the world reveal: large cities receive significantly more rainfall than the surrounding rural regions. A recent study from Australia confirms this observation. However, it also reveals that previous measurements could have put too much weight on the effect. - Daten von Satelliten rund um den Globus offenbaren ein faszinierendes Phänomen: In Großstädten fällt deutlich mehr Niederschlag als in der umgebenden ländlichen Region. Eine aktuelle Studie aus Australien bestätigt diese Beobachtung. Sie enthüllt aber auch, dass die bisherigen Messungen den Effekt teilweise zu stark gewichtet haben könnten.
On today's show, host Dana Pellebon is in conversation with Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari about her new memoir, Labor: One Woman’s Work. Dr. Afsari is a child of Iranian immigrants, a working mother, and the founder of a mobile health clinic, bringing reproductive healthcare to rural patients in the Pacific Northwest. In 2015, Dr. Afsari literally mobilized her practice to meet women where they are. Her clinic on wheels–FemForward Health–travels throughout rural Oregon because too many of these communities lack full-scale OB-GYN services. Dr. Afsari says that people have started driving to find her because they've been recommended by word of mouth. It's a sign of how broken the healthcare system is that a mobile RV clinic is providing better care than industrial medicine to women of color and rural women. Post Dobbs, Dr. Afsari says the fight for reproductive justice is more important than ever. Dr. Afsari's memoir chronicles her career serving women like her grandmother who died of a pregnancy related complication. She says she wants readers to get a sense of the range of experiences she has from obstetric emergencies to joyous births. They also discuss Dr. Afsari's philosophy of meeting patients with curiosity, how race plays a central role in whether a woman will survive a pregnancy, the lack of gender-affirming care, and the criminalization of OB-GYNs post Dobbs. Residents of Dane County may be aware of a similar service providing mobile forensic nurse exams. Mary Fariba Afsari, DO, is a board-certified OB-GYN and the founder of FemForward Health, a mobile women’s health clinic in Portland, Oregon. She completed her medical school at Touro University college of Osteopathic Medicine, her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and holds an MS in Health Communication from the Tufts University/Emerson College joint program. Dr. Afsari is a passionate advocate for healthcare equity and reproductive justice. She speaks widely on the intersections of medicine, identity, and systemic healthcare reform. Her debut memoir, Labor: One Woman’s Work, was published by Avid Reader Press in April. Featured image of the cover of Labor: One Woman’s Work. Did you enjoy this story?

The Government has announced a new €10 million scrappage scheme designed to encourage motorists to switch from older petrol and diesel vehicles to electric cars. Under the proposal, drivers who scrap a vehicle more than 13 years old could receive up to €8,500 in support towards the purchase of an electric vehicle, with 65% of the funding reserved for people living outside Ireland's major cities. Supporters say the scheme could help accelerate the move to cleaner transport, while others have raised questions about affordability, charging infrastructure and its suitability for rural Ireland. To discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by the initiative, Alan Morrissey was joined by John Casey of the Clare EV Owners Club and Eddie Punch of Independent Ireland.

We often think of gender-based violence as something rather cut-and-dried, a view which often leads to a lot of stigma, and the expression of sentiments like “why doesn't she just leave”. In reality, the situation is a lot more complex and nuanced, especially in rural settings where just leaving may not be an option. Keely Horan and Andrea Chantree from the Family Transition Place women's shelter in Dufferin County focus not on "domestic violence" per se, but on "unhealthy relationships" writ large.

Bernie Meehan spent over 40 years on the front lines as both a paramedic and firefighter — responding to emergencies most people never have to witness. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Bernie opens up about the realities of a career spent in the chaos of life and death situations, the calls that stuck with him long after the sirens stopped, and what four decades in emergency services really does to a person. He breaks down what first responders actually deal with behind the scenes — the adrenaline, the trauma, the toughest moments — and the perspective on life that only comes from spending 40 years running toward danger when everyone else runs away. _____________________________________________ #Paramedic #Firefighter #FirstResponder _____________________________________________ Connect with Bernie Meehan: https://www.facebook.com/bernie.meehan/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 40 Years as a Paramedic and Firefighter — Bernie's Story 00:20 Growing Up in the Country and How It Shaped Everything 01:08 The Family Influence and the Moment He Knew Fire Service Was His Calling 02:11 His First Steps Into EMS and the Fire Service 02:52 Why He Chose Fire Service Over Everything Else 04:08 The Real Relationship Between Fire Service and Law Enforcement 05:06 What a Career as a Paramedic Actually Looks Like 06:12 Early Paramedic Training and the Manhattan Stories Nobody Forgets 07:18 How EMS Has Changed and Why It's Harder Than Ever 08:21 Paramedic vs Nurse — The Differences Nobody Talks About 09:44 How the Drug Crisis Changed Paramedic Work Forever 11:02 EMS Then vs Now — How the Opioid Epidemic Changed Everything 12:54 The Career Defining Moments That Changed How He Sees the Job 13:57 Why Paramedics and Firefighters Don't Get the Recognition They Deserve 15:07 Urban vs Rural EMS — The Quality Gap Nobody Discusses 17:17 Fire Service in Rural Areas and the Ambulance Access Problem 18:52 What It Takes to Become a Firefighter Today vs Then 20:16 The Training Education and Ongoing Learning Nobody Warns You About 22:23 The Biggest Challenges Facing New Firefighters Today 23:28 The Non Emergency Calls That Take Up More Time Than You Think 25:06 Holiday Hazards and the Thanksgiving Stories He'll Never Forget 27:29 How They Prioritize Calls and the Unusual Emergencies Nobody Expects 29:23 The Moments of Real Danger and What Command Leadership Really Looks Like 31:03 How Experienced Responders Predict Emergency Outcomes 32:13 The Most Common Calls and the Hidden Problem of Hoarding 34:34 Hoarding Obesity and the Unique Rescue Challenges Nobody Talks About 38:33 The Real Causes of House Fires and the Safety Culture That Could Prevent Them 40:31 How Modern Technology Is Changing Firefighting and Response Times 43:33 On the Scene — Incident Priorities and the Animal Rescues Nobody Expects 46:09 Coping With Tragedy — How First Responders Handle the Emotional Toll 51:10 How Mental Health Support for First Responders Has Finally Started to Change 54:28 Why There Is Never a Quiet Day in EMS — The Workload Reality 57:24 How Public Perception of First Responders Has Shifted 59:07 The Teamwork Between First Responders That Saves Lives 01:00:50 The Most Difficult Calls — Crashes and How Auto Technology Is Changing Everything 01:06:37 The Practical Safety Tips That Could Save Your Life in a Car Emergency 01:10:58 Holiday Emergencies — Fireworks Nightclubs and the Calls Nobody Plans For 01:14:50 The Unique Calls From Nightlife and What They Taught Him 01:20:26 How First Responders Are Adjusting to New and Changing Risks 01:26:39 Supporting Mental Health After Tragedy — What Actually Works 01:33:31 What It's Really Like Responding Inside Prisons and Institutions 01:37:37 Fire Safety in Prisons and Large Events — What Nobody Talks About 01:41:11 Mental Health Advocacy and the Long Road to Trauma Recovery 01:49:19 His Advice for New First Responders and How the System Needs to Change 01:51:31 Career Reflections — What 40 Years on the Front Lines Taught Him 01:54:10 Why He Embraced the Chaos and What It Gave Him 01:56:00 Final Thoughts — The Power of Change and What Comes Next _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

He breaks down what first responders actually deal with behind the scenes — the adrenaline, the trauma, the toughest moments — and the perspective on life that only comes from spending 40 years running toward danger when everyone else runs away. _____________________________________________ #Paramedic #Firefighter #FirstResponder _____________________________________________ Connect with Bernie Meehan: https://www.facebook.com/bernie.meehan/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 40 Years as a Paramedic and Firefighter — Bernie's Story 00:20 Growing Up in the Country and How It Shaped Everything 01:08 The Family Influence and the Moment He Knew Fire Service Was His Calling 02:11 His First Steps Into EMS and the Fire Service 02:52 Why He Chose Fire Service Over Everything Else 04:08 The Real Relationship Between Fire Service and Law Enforcement 05:06 What a Career as a Paramedic Actually Looks Like 06:12 Early Paramedic Training and the Manhattan Stories Nobody Forgets 07:18 How EMS Has Changed and Why It's Harder Than Ever 08:21 Paramedic vs Nurse — The Differences Nobody Talks About 09:44 How the Drug Crisis Changed Paramedic Work Forever 11:02 EMS Then vs Now — How the Opioid Epidemic Changed Everything 12:54 The Career Defining Moments That Changed How He Sees the Job 13:57 Why Paramedics and Firefighters Don't Get the Recognition They Deserve 15:07 Urban vs Rural EMS — The Quality Gap Nobody Discusses 17:17 Fire Service in Rural Areas and the Ambulance Access Problem 18:52 What It Takes to Become a Firefighter Today vs Then 20:16 The Training Education and Ongoing Learning Nobody Warns You About 22:23 The Biggest Challenges Facing New Firefighters Today 23:28 The Non Emergency Calls That Take Up More Time Than You Think 25:06 Holiday Hazards and the Thanksgiving Stories He'll Never Forget 27:29 How They Prioritize Calls and the Unusual Emergencies Nobody Expects 29:23 The Moments of Real Danger and What Command Leadership Really Looks Like 31:03 How Experienced Responders Predict Emergency Outcomes 32:13 The Most Common Calls and the Hidden Problem of Hoarding 34:34 Hoarding Obesity and the Unique Rescue Challenges Nobody Talks About 38:33 The Real Causes of House Fires and the Safety Culture That Could Prevent Them 40:31 How Modern Technology Is Changing Firefighting and Response Times 43:33 On the Scene — Incident Priorities and the Animal Rescues Nobody Expects 46:09 Coping With Tragedy — How First Responders Handle the Emotional Toll 51:10 How Mental Health Support for First Responders Has Finally Started to Change 54:28 Why There Is Never a Quiet Day in EMS — The Workload Reality 57:24 How Public Perception of First Responders Has Shifted 59:07 The Teamwork Between First Responders That Saves Lives 01:00:50 The Most Difficult Calls — Crashes and How Auto Technology Is Changing Everything 01:06:37 The Practical Safety Tips That Could Save Your Life in a Car Emergency 01:10:58 Holiday Emergencies — Fireworks Nightclubs and the Calls Nobody Plans For 01:14:50 The Unique Calls From Nightlife and What They Taught Him 01:20:26 How First Responders Are Adjusting to New and Changing Risks 01:26:39 Supporting Mental Health After Tragedy — What Actually Works 01:33:31 What It's Really Like Responding Inside Prisons and Institutions 01:37:37 Fire Safety in Prisons and Large Events — What Nobody Talks About 01:41:11 Mental Health Advocacy and the Long Road to Trauma Recovery 01:49:19 His Advice for New First Responders and How the System Needs to Change 01:51:31 Career Reflections — What 40 Years on the Front Lines Taught Him 01:54:10 Why He Embraced the Chaos and What It Gave Him 01:56:00 Final Thoughts — The Power of Change and What Comes Next _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Rural America has moved toward strong Republican voting even though Republican governance helps explain worse health outcomes in rural areas, from hospital closures to opioid policies. Michael Shepherd finds that rural areas disproportionately suffer from Republican policies but Republicans successfully blame Democrats for worse health outcomes, especially when Democratic policies can be framed as helping immigrants or racial minorities. There's no obvious way out for Democrats, who own health policy and its outcomes.
