In this episode, we explore how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are revolutionising farming across South Africa. Dr Tara Southey, post-doctoral researcher at Stellenbosch University and founder of TerraClim, shares how farmers can use heat maps, temperature profiles, and drone data to make smarter, more profitable decisions. From visualising soil nutrient concentrations to tracking hours of heat or coolness that affect plant growth, Southey explains why aligning with terrain variables can directly boost returns. Whether it's integrating satellite imagery, aerial photography, or precision drone mapping, this conversation reveals how farmers can use GIS to adapt to climate change, improve yields, and secure a sustainable future.
Who invented first grade? Or second and third for that matter? Someone had to. Someone had to decide that it was a good idea to put all of the kids of the same age in one room and have one person teach them for a year before passing them on. But why? Today, story of the rise and fall of school system from the past that did things completely differently . . . why almost nobody has heard of it today . . . and what we have to learn from this almost forgotten experiment. This is the story of Andrew Bell and his Madras schools.

Save the Children says Oranga Tamariki needs to step up communication in the name of trust, so they can do their job. A newly released review has highlighted nine representative privacy breaches, with at least one leading to a mother being abused after her address was shared to her child's father. Save the Children Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey told Andrew Dickens if the public don't trust the agency, they'll struggle to receive the reports they need to work effectively. Southey says it cannot be underestimated how critical it is for them to step up and communicate how they're rectifying this and making the changes people want to see.

There has been no change to child poverty in the last year. That's according to data released yesterday by stats NZ which shows 17.7% of all children are in poverty. That's based on household income after housing costs have been paid. Save the Children NZ's Advocacy and Research Director Jacqui Southey says we need to start looking at how we can build more affordable homes and lifting incomes for sole parent families.

...in which we visit Keswick Museum for a deep dive into the life of one of Romantic Lakeland's most under-appreciated figures: writer, former Poet Laureate and long-term resident of Greta Hall, Robert Southey (1774-1843). In the company of Museum curator Nicola Lawson and trustee Charlotte May, we return to Bristol, 1774 and set the shifting social scene for the birth of a young radical – expelled from Westminster – whose education was beset by bullying. Alongside new wife Edith Fricker and creative soulmate Samuel Taylor Coleridge, we follow Southey north to Keswick and learn about daily life at Greta Hall, where the young poet became sole breadwinner in a busy household of sisters and their home-educated children. With tragedy a constant in the Southeys' life – four of the couples' eight children died before reaching adulthood – we discuss Edith's enduring mental illness, the fast-growing Keswick of the early 1800s, and the great joy Southey derived from family and domestic life. Reflecting on a (sometimes) controversial and (always) prodigious writing talent (Southey's output far eclipsed that of Wordsworth or Coleridge), we namecheck some of his finest works: from the first published version of Goldilocks and the three bears (The Story of the Three Bears) through his remarkable História do Brasil to the onomatopoeic masterpiece The Cataract of Lodore. Brazing the frosty cold, we conclude our conversation alongside Southey's grave at Crosthwaite Church, where we consider his relationship with Keswick and the great loss felt at the death of a towering talent and an adored family man. You can find out more about Southey and Keswick at Keswick Museum: keswickmuseum.org.uk The Museum is on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter/X.

A children's rights advocate says calls for changes to New Zealand's child safety systems go well beyond the 2021 death of Tauranga five-year-old Malachi Subecz. The Independent Children's Monitor has found recommendations made following Malachi's death haven't happened, and tamariki are no safer today than when he died. But, Save the Children's Child Rights Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey told Ryan Bridge, the problems —and calls for changes— are decades old. She says a recommendation for agencies to cross-share information and concerns is more than 20 years old, and yet we still fail to do it.

Robert Southey was an English poet of the Romantic school, and Poet Laureate from 1813 until his death. Like the other Lake Poets, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey began as a radical but became steadily more conservative as he gained respect for Britain and its institutions. Other romantics such as Byron accused him of siding with the establishment for money and status. He is remembered especially for the poem "After Blenheim" and the original version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".-bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
In this episode we will look at one of English literature's greatest names, the Romantic Poet, Lord Byron. It is claimed outside of the U.K. he is the second most read British author behind Shakespeare.We first mentioned Byron in our second episode, Science Fiction Satan, where we quoted contemporary poet Robert Southey who dubbed Byron and his good friend Percy Shelley as ‘The Satanic School'. Southey claimed their work was, ‘characterised by a Satanic spirit of pride and audacious impiety.'Add to Southey's glowing endorsement, there is of course the more famous quote about Byron from Lady Caroline Lamb who called him, ‘Mad, bad and dangerous to know.'Then there's his work, poems and plays about the apocalypse, angels of death, vampires, defying the gods, a tribute to Dante's inferno, Lucifer and St Peter litigating over a King of England at the very gates of Heaven, an ode to Napoleon, likening him to our favourite disrupter, the witch of Endor from first Samuel, the devil's drive or the story of Cain told from the point of view of murderous Cain himself.After all of that, how could I resist doing an episode about this man?

Inflation and the rising cost of living are contributing to worsening child poverty. Stats NZ data shows more than 140,000 children were living in material hardship for the year to June 2023. Save the Children Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey says the cost of living is significantly challenging families on the lowest incomes. She says measures - like free school lunches and period products - need to continue being funded. "The other things we want to see is- commit to income adequacy. Make sure children on the lowest incomes are not losing any of their income during this term of Government." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks to the research Why the Modern Family Office Matters, we know that wealthy families have a huge positive social and economic impact on our nation. But lasting impact depends on those families going the distance, prospering over the generations.

In honor of Women's History Month, Gabby and Amy have decided to strike a blow against the patriarchy by absolutely shredding the 1997 Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting. Famously written by childhood friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the movie presents itself as a sophisticated and emotionally mature look at a troubled but brilliant young man. But instead of deconstructing toxic masculinity, it reinforces it in ways its creators do not seem aware of. No stars.

It's safe to say that sacred women's circles are making a big come back. No longer lost ancient forms of gathering in community, circles are now becoming increasingly available around the world as an opportunity to gather with shared intention, possibly to meet new friends, devote time to spiritual practice, to experience particular ceremony. Whatever happens and whoever you meet, you are sure to come home to yourself. The way of the circle offers us a very different form of connection and community in which we can come to understand ourselves and each other- and to find the magick and medicine we need at the time.Circles are an ancient way of life, but are now being held in towns everywhere, in schools, board rooms, and online, and they have the potential to support healing and transformation of communities on many levels. I believe that when you attend your first Circle, you awaken to a new way of relating and being, and its addictive. My first ever circle was with today's guest Mitlé Southey in 2018, when I attended her 3 day circle facilitator training, and that immersive experience changed me deeply, and revealed a deeper path forward for me personally in my own healing, as well as in my work that I do.

Jane Eyre Book NotesMore Content On Bookey Book Summary App This novel is a masterpiece of 19th-Century British author Charlotte Bronte. The book tells the story of how Jane Eyre, an orphan girl born of humble origins and ordinary appearance, grew into a strong, independent and self-possessed woman after going through much hardship and fighting against oppression and injustice, thus finally achieving happiness for herself. The novel is an homage to feminist ideals which affirm individual human rights, and successfully created one of the most classic feminist characters in the history of British literature – Jane Eyre. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book Jane Eyre–the masterpiece of renowned British author Charlotte Bronte. Charlotte Bronte was born into the family of a village pastor in England in 1816. She was the third child of six, having two elder sisters, two younger sisters and a younger brother. Charlotte's two younger sisters, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte, were as passionate about writing as she was, and all three of them made their lasting contributions to British literature. Under the pseudonym Currer Bell, Charlotte published Jane Eyre in 1847, which made waves throughout literary circles and secured her worldwide recognition. The book tells the story of how Jane Eyre, an orphan girl born of humble origins and an ordinary appearance, grew into a strong, independent and self-possessed woman after going through much hardship and fighting against oppression and injustice, thus finally achieving happiness for herself. Orphaned after the death of her parents at a young age, Jane lived for a time under her aunt's roof, where she endured much bullying and oppression, before spending eight tumultuous years in an orphanage. That notwithstanding, Jane Eyre did not give up on herself, even after leading a lonely life without anyone to rely on – she continuously resisted oppression and fought tenaciously against her fate in order to pursue an independent and autonomous life, a life of freedom and equality, and finally succeeded in achieving an ideal love and living the life of her dreams. The novel was written in mid-19th Century during the Victorian era in England. At the time, it was a patriarchal society, and women faced oppression on many fronts. Once, when Charlotte was 20 years old, she sent several short poems that she wrote to Robert Southey, a great English poet at the time, in hopes of receiving his commendation and encouragement. Yet in his letter Southey merely gave her a brusque reply, stating that "Literature is not the business of a woman and it cannot be.” Southey's letter dealt Charlotte a huge blow, but she did not abandon her literary ambitions there and then. In order to ensure the successful publication of Jane Eyre, Charlotte used the male pseudonym Currer Bell – this went to prove how difficult the path to a career in the literary arts was for women at the time. Against such a societal backdrop, the feminist themes of courageous resistance, pursuit of equality and defence of women's rights as conveyed in the book were extremely rare and valuable and played a significant role in promoting the contemporaneous liberation of women.

An extension to childcare funding could benefit children's education. The Government's announced the income threshold to access the childcare subsidy scheme will be raised from April - making 54 percent of the country's families eligible. The Working for Families family tax credit will also rise by nine-dollars a week for the eldest child, and seven-dollars for subsequent children. Save the Children Research Director Jacqui Southey told Kate Hawkesby that it's incredibly necessary. She says those facing steep living costs can re-direct money going on childcare to other household essentials. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul was a teacher supporting students through the Gateway programme, which supports students to transition into employment. He opened the Wairarapa branch of A1 Homes in 2006. His daughter's interest in the construction industry made him realised that he needs to do a better job to make apprenticeships accessible for everyone. He is a strong advocate for women in construction; he finds it humbling to meet the wonderful wahine who are succeeding in our sector, as they have such passion and fantastic stories to tell. In this episode, Ryan and Paul discuss why diversity in a workplace is so important and how we can foster an inclusive environment. Paul shares some incredible stories of success. They also discuss why we need to promote those stories to create role models for the younger generation in construction.LinksConnect with Paul via LinkedInNational Association of Women in Construction https://www.nawic.org.nz/For more information on apprenticeship - BCITO https://bcito.org.nz/A1homes Wairarapahttps://www.a1homes.co.nz/wairarapa/a1homeWhere else you can find usWebsite: https://www.masterbuilder.org.nz/Elevate Platform: http://elevate.masterbuilder.org.nzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterbuildernz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/registeredmasterbuildersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmh_9vl0pFf0zSB6N7RrVegTwitter: https://twitter.com/MasterBuilderNZ
New Zealand pre-schoolers experience worse health and welfare outcomes than older kids do, according to a report released Monday. The report, published by Save the Children, Whānau Āwhina Plunket, the Child Poverty Action Group and the New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services, also highlighted the direct connection between Aotearoa's poverty and preventable childhood illnesses. "Sadly, the report reveals a bleak picture of upholding children's rights in Aotearoa, with poverty directly affecting the health outcomes of our youngest citizens, who are often forgotten about in terms of rights," Save the Children's Advocacy and Research director Jacqui Southey said. "The report finds that the leading causes of ill health and mortality of New Zealand's under-5s are largely preventable and are attributable to poverty." Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Sudi), oral health, skin infections, and respiratory infections made up the four key areas that significantly impact kids under 5. Poor health outcomes are caused by inequality in low-income households, which fail to guarantee timely access to healthcare, adequate amounts of money, and healthy housing for families with small children. Southey also said for Māori and Pasifika under-5s, systemic disparities, colonial effects, and racism are also causing higher rates of poverty and worse health outcomes. By addressing these disparities, the country might be able to reduce hospitalisations for respiratory infections and dental decay in our under-5 population by up to 66 per cent, Southey maintained. "When it comes to Sudi, Māori are nine times, and Pasifika are six times more likely to die from Sudi than non-Māori and non-Pasifika infants. "If we are to shift the dial to significantly improve positive health and development outcomes for our children under 5, we need to prioritise children (and by age and stage) as a key stakeholder group in the new health authorities; raise incomes to liveable levels; provide access to healthy homes for families with children under 5, and address systemic bias and racism that continues to persist." The report also revealed that preschool-aged children have a significantly higher risk of dying by homicide than older kids do and that reporting of sexual assault and related cases for children under 5 has remained "appallingly constant" over the past five years despite a notable decline of 35 per cent in assaults and neglect during the same time. The chief executive of Whānau Āwhina Plunket, Amanda Malu, said the organisation, which interacts directly with tens of thousands of families each year, had seen first-hand the effects that poverty had on our youngest Kiwis. "If we are truly going to support our tamariki to thrive, we need to provide systematic and concrete solutions that ensure all of our tamariki truly get the best start in life." Children's Commissioner Judge Frances Eivers said the report was a "compelling piece of work" and "giving children the best start possible must be our priority". She is adamant the nurturing we experience as children forms the foundation of who we become as adults. "Under-5s are particularly vulnerable. They are not out in the wider world and they have so many milestones to hit. "We see that some children do not get the same start. We see the same themes arise again and again: poverty, housing costs and access to health services, which are often not accessible in terms of cost, where people feel judged, or where language or culture is a barrier." Judge Eivers called for change and for the report to be taken seriously by decision-makers. "We can do better than this, and I believe people expect us to." Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke passionately at the beginning of her campaigns about reducing the rates of child poverty in New Zealand while her Government is in power. A spokesman for the Prime Minister said yesterday that addressing child poverty and its health impacts is a priority for the Government. He said all nine child poverty measures had decreased since Labour came to power and its policies had helped bring 66,500 children out of poverty. "While average incomes have increased across all family types in the last 12 months, the largest increases have generally been for families with children, reflecting policy changes, particularly to main benefit rates. "We know there is more to do and we will keep working to reduce all impacts of poverty, including health."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After years of inaction, or things going in the opposite direction, the Government's first statutory annual report for the child and youth wellbeing strategy apparently says there has been a 25 percent reduction in kids 14 and under living in homes where foods runs out. There's also apparently been a 30 percent reduction in children aged 17 and under who live in low-income households after housing costs are taken off. Jacqui Southey is an advocate from Save the Children and she joined Mike Hosking. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: voicesoftoday.net/tlpmisc A Thomas Love Peacock Miscellany By Richard Garnett, Edward Strachey and Thomas Love Peacock. Narrated by Graham Scott, Alan Weyman, Denis Daly and Rachel May. Thomas Love Peacock is today remembered as the author of seven satirical novels which many regard merely as literary curiosities. However, he was also a man of considerable learning, a skilled poet and an astute literary critic. Recollections of Thomas Love Peacock is an affectionate reminiscence by Sir Edward Strachey who had become familiar with Peacock during the latter's period of service at the India House. Some Recollections of Childhood provides a window into Peacock's early youth, and displays his keen powers of observation and his fascination with the world of nature. While Peacock's early years were not particularly easy, the memoir is completely free of any tinge of bitterness or regret. In "Four Ages of Poetry" Peacock pokes gentle fun at his great contemporaries Wordsworth, Southey and Shelley, while providing a thought provoking analysis of the birth, growth and decay of poetry. "The Last Day of Windsor Forest" is an old man's recollection of an episode memorable in the history of a place where much of his life had been passed, and for which he had a particular love. It was probably the last piece that Peacock wrote.

Painter, now documentary film maker and producer Nathan Florence joins me to discuss ‘Bright Spark: The Reconcilation of Trevor Southey' For eleven years, artist Nathan Florence documented Trevor Southey's life with his heart and with his lens in order to tell an unfolding story that ended in Trevor's death in 2015. It's an unusual documentary but nonetheless affecting because like a painting it constantly unfolds. The film is a soft place among the polarized voices of LDS folk in and out of the church, because it has no agenda beyond the story of art as an expression of the deepest musings of humanity; How it's made; at what cost; who it's for, and mostly, how does it change lives?
A story that as we know it was first recorded in narrative form by English writer and poet Robert Southey, and first published anonymously as "The Story of the Three Bears" in 1837; the story of the three bears predates Southey.It went through various iterations, including versions with an old woman as the feature, a silver haired girl, and eventually the well known Goldilocks. The fate of Goldilocks has been changed time and time again as well.For this fully family friendly version of the tale we turn to author Katherine Pyle, an American artist, poet, and children's writer, sister of author and artist Howard Pyle. Pyle told this version in Mother's Nursery Tales, a collection of stories she published in 1918. Something we will be coming back to again for other classic nursery tales.

Bonni Southey - celebrating this beautiful intuitive mother. 20 years ago she was a young mum, she planned her pregnancy perfectly, had the perfect birth and a beautiful baby boy. Just 2 months into his life, he started screaming for hours at a time and then projectile vomiting - this happened for months and months. With her then husband at work from early til late, she was alone, a new mum, a screaming baby - literally not knowing what to do. And then some angels were sent to her, a friend called just at the right time, alternative medicine was brought into her life, she learned Reiki which helped and it was Reiki that sparked a fire in her to demand the Doctor took her sons screaming seriously. She stood up to the medical profession, knowing their diagnosis and suggestion of surgery was wrong and she followed her intuition and inner guidance down a path she had never heard of. By 4 years old, her son was free of pain and vomiting and she had a new way of living - with alternative and plant medicine. Her inspirational story is perfect for any new mum, anyone considering vaccinations or worried about their effects or anyone who is concerned their child may have had a reaction to a vaccine - which, we now know was the cause of her sons terrible pain.
