Nelson Mandela was released from prison in South Africa on February 11th, 1990. At the time, Radio RSA was still broadcasting to the world on shortwave radio, and provided live coverage of the event which was heard by many shortwave listeners. It will be recalled that Radio RSA had one of the most powerful shortwave transmission systems of any country for many years — with its familiar interval signal it was a regular for SWLs. This recording of Radio RSA was made on a SONY ICF-2010 receiver in Silver Spring, Maryland. The first recording is of the full Radio RSA coverage, and the second is the Mandela speech itself, a portion that begins at about the 1 hour 10 mark. Mandela said: “A democratic and non-racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony.” Radio RSA was so strong, in fact, that it could be heard on my SONY AM-FM-SW Cassette Deck using only a short piece of wire as an antenna. At end end of the Mandela speech recording, can be heard a VOA newscast from the previous day covering the announcement by then President DeKlerk that Mandela would be released.

In the 1970s and 1980s the 48 meter band was full of European pirate stations, usually making “test transmissions” in the early morning hours, and usually on weekends, notably on Sundays. SWLs in the United States hunted these Europirates, which required rising at early hours in order to hear them. One of the stations in 1981 was South Dublin Radio, with a power of 1,000 watts on 6,243 khz. This recording of the station was made in Washington, DC using a Hammarlund HQ-180A receiver. The station verified with a plain white QSL card — in those days, eQSLs did not exist.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: 2020 Top Charity Ideas - Charity Entrepreneurship, published by KarolinaSarek on the AI Alignment Forum. Write a Review This article was also published at Charity Entrepreneurship's blog. We're proud to announce our 2020 Top Charity Ideas! Each year Charity Entrepreneurship identifies highly effective interventions in chosen cause areas. Our Incubation Program gives participants the skills they need to start high-impact nonprofits based on our top intervention recommendations. Our 2020 research period focused on four cause areas: mental health, animal advocacy, family planning, and health & development policy. We began with several hundred ideas in each cause area. Progressive stages of our extensive research process whittled down to eight recommended ideas. Eighty-hour reports linked below illustrate how we came to recommend this year's top interventions. We also provide Incubation Program participants with implementation reports, which provide specific recommendations to map a path forward for a new charity. Our 2020 top recommendations are as follows (in no particular order): MENTAL HEALTH: 1. Guided self-help – Distributing workbooks to enable individuals to work independently on their mental health, supported by short weekly calls from lay health workers. HEALTH & DEVELOPMENT POLICY: 2. Lead paint regulation – Advocating for tighter regulation of lead paint to reduce the burden of lead exposure on human health and economic prosperity. 3. Alcohol regulation – Advocating for increased alcohol taxation to mitigate the harmful effects of consumption. ANIMAL ADVOCACY: 4. Shrimp welfare – Improving the welfare of farmed shrimp, e.g. through collaborating with Vietnamese farmers to better oxygenate the water, thus reducing chronic suffering for shrimp. 5. Feed fortification – Fortifying feed with micronutrients to combat deficiencies and improve the health of laying hens. 6. Ask research – Helping organizations and policy-makers decide what best to ask of the animal agriculture industry. (We explored this intervention during our 2019 research period and passed it on to 2020, as despite its promise it was not started.) FAMILY PLANNING: 7. Mass media campaigns – Broadcasting information about family planning to reduce misconceptions and empower women to make decisions about their fertility. 8. Postpartum family planning – Providing family planning guidance to women at pivotal moments for their health and fertility, such as after giving birth.The above reports are time-capped at eighty hours and follow the chronology of our research process. The reports begin with preliminary research and identifying crucial considerations. Next, we consult with experts. We then create a weighted factor model and a cost-effectiveness analysis. These two methodologies allow us to numerically quantify an intervention; by including both, we balance out their different strengths and weaknesses. Our final section brings together information gained throughout the research process. We have chosen to organize our reports in this way to increase transparency. Readers are able to follow the research as it unfolds and develops, and can see how an idea performs from multiple perspectives.

MENTAL HEALTH Lead researcher: George Bridgwater george@charityscience.com Our four cause areas achieve impact in different ways, so we tailor our metrics accordingly. In this cause area, our cost-effectiveness analyses quantify impact using two metrics: the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). We measure the expected number of incremental increases on the SWLS, and of QALYs per dollar spent. We use two metrics because of how difficult it is to capture subjective well-b...

In dieser Folge des Amateurfunk Podcast geht es um Amateurfunk und Pfadfinderei. Dazu erzählen Andreas, HB9FRK und Benoît, HB9EUE darüber wie die Pfadfinderei und der Amateurfunk voneinander profitieren können. Außerdem erhalten wir einen Einblick in das Leben auf einem Pfadfinderlager und wir erfahren, warum dort Uniformen getragen werden. Wir erhalten Einblick in die Anatomie eines DX-Camps. Joachim, DH4JG ist lizensierter Funkamateur, nimmt aber auch regelmäßig an DX-Camps teil, bei denen es ausschließlich um den Empfang exotischer Rundfunkstationen oder Utilitystationen geht. Joachim war an der Entwicklung eines speziellen Antennenverteilers für diese Art von DX-Camps beteiligt. Im Interview erzählt er,  wie sich diese Camps von Fielddays unterscheiden und worum es den dort teilnehmenden geht. Wir schauen uns die Arbeit von DARC Radio an. Eines der letzten verbliebenen, deutschsprachigen Programme auf Kurzwelle. Inzwischen ist DARC Radio ein fester Termin im sonntäglichen Tagesablauf von vielen Funkamateuren und SWLs. Rainer, DF2NU ist der Chefredakteur des Programms und gibt uns einen Einblick in die Arbeitsweise des Senders. In fast allen Ländern und allen Kulturen gibt es Funkamateure. Es gibt freundliche und professionelle Kontakte über geographische und kulturelle Grenzen hinweg. Schade nur, dass vergleichsweise wenige Frauen mitmachen. Im DARC gibt es ein Referat speziell für die Belange der young ladies im Amateurfunk. YL-Referentin Heike, DL3DH erzählt uns, was die Aufgaben des Referats sind. Susi, DO4SUS, die gerade erst ihre Prüfung abgelegt hat, erzählt uns von ihren Erfahrungen während der Lizenzvorbereitung. Unser Podcast kommt aus Trier. Vor 200 Jahren wurde hier Karl Marx geboren. Als Besonderheit zum Karl-Marx-Jahr hat eine Gruppe von Funkamateuren aus dem ca. 50 km entfernten Daun das Sonderrufzeichen DK200MARX beantragt. Noch bis Ende 2018 ist das Rufzeichen aktiv. Kontakte werden mit einer Karl-Marx-QSL-Karte bestätigt. Im Interview erläutert Dieter, DK5PZ die Hintergründe.

We were delighted to hear about WSPR from Joe Taylor, K1JT. The passion that drives people to excellence is always here, but in this hobby we get to share and enjoy the fun, too! In fact, the WSPR project (pronounced like "whisper") would not even work unless other hams and SWLs joined in!Listen to K1JT at Masscon

More editions of Media Network from a very turbulent year -1982. Malta and Libya had entered into a Friendship and Cooperation Treaty, in response to repeated overtures by  for a closer, more formal union between the two countries; and, for a brief period, Arabic had become a compulsory subject in Maltese secondary schools. German international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle, was forced to shut down its relay station on the island under the Foreign Interference Act. Mike Barraclough gives a plus for the popular Reading Meetings for SWLs. Voice of Greece and RTBF Belgium are being heard well at the moment. Tony Jones (pictured) gives us a feature about the return to shortwave of several Bolivian stations. We speak with George Otis, who has built the religious station the Voice of Hope that we're hearing on the 49-metre band. Professor John Campbell reports that some clandestine radio stations are replying to listeners letters. Radio Venceremos has an address in Mexico City. Richard Ginbey has an item about Radio Biko. Strange things happening in Swaziland, following the death of their long-reigning Monarch.    

I denne frygteligt antiklimatiske sæsonfinale taler vi en hel masse om Marvel, og så læser vi sidste del af Sasse Fanfiction! Musik: Nanna Sørensen – “Nordhavn Station”

En påskespecial, der slet ikke handler om påske. Hvor vi taler om #LassesMor, læser anden del af den genialt navngivne “Sasse Fanfiction” – og tager en god snak med Stine! Musik: Carsten Santacruz & Ása Brynjarsdottír – “Little Mine” | Baggrundsmusik fra Purple Planet

I denne uge taler Stefan og Lasse nok lidt for meget om X Factor, Minecraft og en masse andet irrelevant – men selvfølgelig også om #SWLW15. Desværre havde ingen tid til at tale med os, og vi glemte vist også en anden ting… Musik: Betty Laursen – “Shame”

I denne (lidt forsinkede) omgang af SWLCast er Lasse tilbage, og vi taler med Johanne, a.k.a. “Gryffindor”. Derudover præsenterer vi første afsnit af “Sasse Fanfiction”, den vindende historie fra vores fanfiction-konkurrence! #MCM #MUMS Musik: Nanna Sørensen – “Chasing Dreams” | Baggrundsmusik fra Purple Planet

Stefan er alene på pinden, og i den anledning har han besøg af Seb og Nanna. De har en lang samtale om det at være LGBTQIA (eller ‘queer’) i Danmark, og om deres repræsentation i tv og medier. Musik: Foon – “Mirror”

I hvad vi har erklæret sæsonens dårligste afsnit af SWLCast taler vi om os selv. Vi taler om vores nuværende projekter og vores holdning til tv-serier – og selvom ingen svarede på vores opkald, hyggede vi os nu ret meget. #FaktaLasse #Mums Musik: Long Line Down – “The Devil’s Hand”

I ugens podcast har vi nyheder om alle tre fandoms, vi taler om Oscarnomineringer, og vi tager os en snak med selveste Stefanie Sørensen, der afslører flere elementer af Lasses mystiske fortid… Musik: Jes Meinertz Byg – Fredsangen

Første afsnit i 2015. Vi snakker om nytår, “Last Christmas”, #Ohana – og så læser vi vores allerførste fanbrev! Musik: Nanny Nostoc – “Noises from the Chimney”

SWLCast giver sig i kast med en særlig julespecial, der er mere eller mindre julet… Vi taler om juleafsnit, julehygge og lidt om juletraditioner – vi taler først med Julemanden, og derefter Jul(ie) Sabroe, der skriver opgave om jul, men ikke kan fortælle os noget vi ikke allerede ved. Musik: Stefanie Edelhardt … Læs Videre

Vi introducerer vores nye “Fejl-segment”, vi finder på forlystelser til BBC Theme Park, og så snakker vi en smule om companions. Sang: Nanny Nostoc – “The City”

This show kicks off with the news that ICRC (Red Cross) reorganises in Geneva. Has Lowe Electronics missed the boat with the lack of passband tuning? Roy Sangren of Radio Scandinavia does another test. I think he has a world record in test transmissions. We then ran a feature on the Internet for Shortwave Radio Listeners. We chatted with Media Network contributor about his vision of what could happen next. He was spot on. The problem in those days was the speed. 28.8 kb/sec dial-up modem was the standard. We talk to one station experimenting with 8 kb/sec audio. The commercialization of the Internet could be its downfall! Jim was spot on 16 years ago about how VOIP would develop. We also talked to Vasily Strelnikov, formerly of Radio Moscow World Service and then of Radio 7. He explains how stations are migrating to the “new” FM band. BBC WS used to have English on an AM station in Moscow.   

Background: Quality of life (QoL) in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) has been found to differ across countries. However, comparability of measurement results between countries depends on the cross-cultural validity of the applied instruments. The study examined the metric quality and cross-cultural validity of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (LISAT-9), the Personal Well-Being Index (PWI) and the 5-item World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQoL-5) across six countries in a sample of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A cross-sectional multi-centre study was conducted and the data of 243 out-patients with SCI from study centers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, South Africa, and the United States were analyzed using Raschbased methods. Results: The analyses showed high reliability for all 4 instruments (person reliability index .78-.92). Unidimensionality of measurement was supported for the WHOQoL-5 (Chi(2) = 16.43, df = 10, p =.088), partially supported for the PWI (Chi(2) = 15.62, df = 16, p = .480), but rejected for the LISAT-9 (Chi(2) = 50.60, df = 18, p = .000) and the SWLS (Chi2 = 78.54, df = 10, p =.000) based on overall and item-wise Chi(2) tests, principal components analyses and independent t-tests. The response scales showed the expected ordering for the WHOQoL-5 and the PWI, but not for the other two instruments. Using differential item functioning (DIF) analyses potential cross-country bias was found in two items of the SWLS and the WHOQoL-5, three items of the LISAT-9 and four items of the PWI. However, applying Rasch-based statistical methods, especially subtest analyses, it was possible to identify optimal strategies to enhance the metric properties and the cross-country equivalence of the instruments post-hoc. Following the post-hoc procedures the WHOQOL-5 and the PWI worked in a consistent and expected way in all countries. Conclusions: QoL assessment using the summary scores of the WHOQOL-5 and the PWI appeared cross-culturally valid in persons with SCI. In contrast, summary scores of the LISAT-9 and the SWLS have to be interpreted with caution. The findings of the current study can be especially helpful to select instruments for international research projects in SCI.
