New crime figures are a mixed bag for retailers. Data released by the Police Minister shows a 61% drop in ram raids in the first nine months of the year, compared to the same period in 2023. But thefts at retail premises are up 12%, and there's been no change in breaking and entering or acts intended to cause injury. Dairy and Business Owner's Group Vice Chairperson, Ash Parmar told Ryan Bridge the ram-raid reductions are good news, as they brought a high human cost. He says it was too easy for too long, but a lot of the youths responsible are being picked up by Police more often now. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yep. Our first politician. And she's on our side. Senator Ellman got Bill SB3501, The Outdoor Lighting Control Act, passed in both houses in Illinois. Senator Ellman will admit she didn't get everything she wanted in it, but as she says, this is just one step on the path (this IS politics after all). We were impressed with her humility, honesty, and down to earth approach - politician or not. NOTE: There were some video and audio issues with Senator Ellman, but we deemed them not bad enough and the content too good not to release the episode. State Senator Laura Ellman was first elected to serve in the Illinois General Assembly in November of 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Senate District 21 includes parts of Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Glen Ellyn, Lisle, Lombard, Naperville, Wheaton and Warrenville. Senator Ellman currently serves on a number of committees, including Agriculture; Appropriations, Chairperson of Environment and Conservation; Vice-Chairperson of Financial Institutions; Transportation and Veterans Affairs. Senator Ellman was the first child to attend college in both her parents' families. After graduating from Grinnell College with a degree in mathematics, she earned a masters' degree in applied statistics at the University of Iowa. Professionally, she has more than 25 years of experience working in manufacturing and engineering and dealing with regulations and policies. Senator Ellman currently lives in Naperville with her husband Pete, a musician and small business owner, and they are proud parents of two adult children.

In this episode, we interview Erika Bell, PhD from the Bay Area Cancer Connections (BACC) patient advocacy community about ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Erika discusses the role of BACC in supporting cancer patients, the challenges of finding support during the pandemic, and the importance of patient advocacy organizations. She then dives into a detailed explanation of DCIS, its characteristics, and how it differs from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). We also delve into the decision-making process for treating DCIS, discussing options such as lumpectomy and mastectomy, and examine the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in DCIS. This includes a detailed discussion on the findings of a study regarding sentinel lymph node biopsy in DCIS patients and its implications for treatment decisions. Above all, this conversation underscores the complexity of decision-making in cancer treatment and the need for personalized support and information for patients. This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features this study by Dr. Shiyi Wang. Key Highlights: 1. DCIS is known as stage 0 breast cancer because it hasn't spread outside of the breast ducts. However, there is not enough research to determine the conditions that increase the chances of DCIS evolving into IDC.  2. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is not necessary for most DCIS patients as the risk of lymph node involvement is low. 3. Personalized support and information are crucial for patients to make informed decisions about their treatment. About our guest: Erika Bell is the Director of Cancer Information and Education at Bay Area Cancer Connections (BACC), a community-based non-profit that supports people with breast or ovarian cancer. In this role she provides health education, personalized research, and medical decision-making support to clients. She has been with the organization for 14 years and is passionate about her work and the positive impact that it has on empowering people during a difficult time in their lives. She also serves as the Vice Chairperson for the California Breast Cancer Research Program Council. Erika earned an undergraduate degree in Biology from Cornell University and a doctorate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry from the University of California, San Francisco. Key Moments: At 13:43 “There are a lot of people where maintaining as much breast tissue as possible is the most important thing to them in addition to still having feeling in their breast, so they opt for a lumpectomy. Other people really have a strong urge to just get everything out, “I don't ever want to have to deal with this again, please remove everything.” Those people also tend to be thinking about double mastectomies, which in the case of DCIS and no inherited genetic predisposition to breast cancer or no strong family history really is not medically indicated, but there are still women who make that choice, either driven by their anxiety or future screenings or symmetry that they want to achieve, etc.” Visit the Manta Cares website --  Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

This podcast is part of the Centre's commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Model Law on Access to Information for Africa (Model Law). In this episode, Commissioner Topsy-Sonoo delves into the significance of access to information, emphasising its role in upholding democracy and being an enabler of other  human rights.  The Special Rapporteur outlined the African Commission's normative standards on the right to access to information in Africa, emanating from article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights which provides for the right to receive information. These are: the Guidelines on Access to information and Elections in Africa, the Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information in Africa and the Model Law. On the Model Law, she discussed its adoption and implementation, highlighting notable successes and challenges. The discussion also included the contribution of digital technologies to the information ecosystem and the obstacles that vulnerable and marginalised groups encounter in navigating the digital space and using digital technologies. The podcast concludes with a call for States to create a conducive environment for the exercise of the right to access information in Africa, taking into account the digital age.   Honourable Commissioner Ourveena Geereesha Topsy-Sonoo, was elected as a member of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights in October 2021. She is the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information in Africa; Vice-Chairperson of the Working Group on Extractive Industries, Environment and Human Rights Violations in Africa; Member of the Working Group on the Death Penalty, Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Killings and Enforced Disappearances in Africa; and member of the Resolutions Committee. She is a lawyer with great expertise in International Maritime Law.
