In this powerful episode of Bleeding Daylight, Reverend Dr. Alvin Sanders shares his transformative approach to urban ministry as President of World Impact. Drawing from personal experience with poverty and three decades in ministry, Sanders challenges traditional church models by advocating for a "neighbourhood-as-parish" approach where churches become institutional assets to their communities. He reveals how World Impact's "glocally urban" strategy equips untrained pastors in 19 countries through innovative programs like their "seminary in a backpack."   Sanders unpacks the true nature of poverty beyond finances and outlines practical strategies for churches to engage their communities authentically. From creating "third spaces" that combat loneliness to implementing Asset-Based Community Development models, he demonstrates how churches can move beyond paternalistic charity to foster genuine community flourishing. His stories of transformation—from Cincinnati neighbourhoods to closed countries experiencing revival—illustrate how trained urban leaders can catalyse lasting change when churches approach ministry with humility, genuine care, and a commitment to meeting people at their point of need.   WEBLINKS World Impact World Impact Facebook Alvin's LinkedIn

The MTU Innovation Challenge 2025 has once again demonstrated the transformative power of student-led innovation, as interdisciplinary teams from across the globe came together to tackle real-world challenges posed by local, regional, and international organisations. Over the course of the last eight weeks, 11 teams of students from across Munster Technological University's six campuses in Cork and Kerry collaborated with their peers from Ud'A University in Italy, Murang'a University of Technology in Kenya, the University of Skövde in Sweden, and the University of Crete in Greece. Together, they engaged in solving a diverse range of innovation challenges supported by expert mentoring and training in design thinking and stakeholder engagement. Each team worked closely with real-world organisations to develop creative, practical solutions to problems currently affecting those organisations. The teams were supported by a group of volunteer mentors from across MTU without whom the challenge would not be possible. This year's participating organisations come from a wide variety of sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, assistive technology, AI, and nonprofit services. Challenges ranged from implementing AI solutions for business process automation to designing accessible healthcare devices to improving sustainable farming tools and community engagement platforms. Students tackled projects including the development of an AI-powered supply chain tool for tech firm Aspen Grove, the design of a paediatric syringe driver lockbox for Cork University Hospital, and a reimagined neck support brace for Motor Neurone patients at Marymount Hospice. In the nonprofit and community space, students designed an interactive app for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind to engage users in a service dog's journey, contributed to a digital portal for clients at the Crann Centre, and explored improvements to solar-powered irrigation systems and data platforms with Kenyan start-up SowPrecise. Carole O'Leary, who spearheads this initiative at MTU, said: "These projects are not hypothetical scenarios, these are real issues facing organisations right now. What's remarkable is how our students rise to meet these complex challenges with such creativity, empathy, and professionalism. The benefits are two-fold: the organisations gain fresh perspectives and potential solutions, while students gain hands-on experience and the confidence to innovate in the real world." To mark their achievements, two standout teams were each awarded a €1,000 prize for their innovative and impactful solutions: Team Marymount 1 and Team SowPrecise 1. All students participating in the challenge received a Digital Badge in recognition of their engagement, collaboration, and contribution. From a stakeholder perspective, the benefits were evident. "The MTU Innovation Challenge has been such a highlight for me this year, and it is so exciting and rewarding to work with the students at MTU," said Orlaith Leo, Leo Senior Physiotherapist at Marymount Hospice. "To put my clinical head together with their creative minds has been so valuable, and they've come up with some brilliant ideas I could never have imagined." Gemma Leo, Business Support and Project Manager at the Crann Centre, shared similar praise: "The apps that we saw were absolutely beautiful - so a massive congratulations to the students. I can totally see that if we can get them built, our clients would use them." The 2025 challenge welcomed the most academically diverse group to date, with participation from both undergraduate and postgraduate students across a wide range of disciplines. These included programmes in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, Software Development, Computing, Creative Digital Media, Animation and Visual Effects, Business Information Systems, International Business, Marketing, Economics, Data Science and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, User Experience and Service Design, Electrical and Electronics...

  Welcome to the latest episode of WAB Podcast Season 5! In this episode, we explored the world of Nature of Science. Joining us were two Grade 10 students, Claire and Kabir, along with their teacher, Chris Hayden. Together, they took us on a journey through this project-based science course that allows students to dive deep into their passions, nurture critical thinking, sharpen their skills, and foster a love for scientific inquiry that goes beyond the classroom.  Chris introduced that Nature of Science (NOS) allows students to choose and explore an area of science they're passionate about, and it covers foundational knowledge and key inquiry skills aligned with Middle Years Program (MYP) science objectives. He emphasized that learning science is not about memorizing facts, it should give students the tools they need to think like true scientists, including asking questions, solving problems, and making a real-world impact.   Grade 10 student Kabir is a humanities enthusiast, who took NOS as a chance to bridge his love for economics with science. His project focused on the economic impacts of air pollution, a topic that allowed him to analyze data and uncover how environmental factors influenced global economies. He expressed he never thought he could enjoy science this much. With his teacher's help, he was able to process a large amount of data that he had collected for the project, boosting his analytical skills and making him more prepared for the Diploma Programme (DP) Economics.   Claire from Grade 10 is very into biology, and she spent her time working on a project that combined her scientific passion with a desire to address societal issues. Inspired by conversations with some local women about the menstruation stigma in their daily lives, Claire designed an innovative project to detect gynecological diseases in a more convenient way. By using simulations, she explored how antibodies and antigens interact, aiming to create a diagnostic tool that could be integrated into sanitary products. Claire reflected this experience facilitates her DP studies and beyond, and more importantly, shows her how science can truly impact lives.  Want to hear more about how our Grade 10 students are using NOS to sharpen their scientific skills and make a real difference in the world?

Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive cancer that begins in the bile ducts. While the cancer is relatively rare, affecting approximately 8,000 people in the United States each year, unfortunately, it is often undiagnosed until an advanced stage. This late diagnosis makes cholangiocarcinoma very challenging to treat, and less than 10% of patients survive for five years after diagnosis. Traditional anti-cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, have only limited effectiveness in cholangiocarcinoma, and can cause serious side effects. Recently developed immunotherapy and targeted therapies have provided promising options for this difficult-to-treat disease. Dr. Kim Saverno of the Incyte Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in the U.S., and the study's co-authors, have been studying the real-world use of an FDA-approved targeted drug for cholangiocarcinoma called pemigatinib. Pemigatinib was approved by the FDA in 2020. It can be specifically used for cholangiocarcinoma patients who have genetic changes in a protein known as fibroblast growth factor receptor 2, or FGFR2 for short. Their study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to examine pemigatinib's use in real-world settings, and reveals information about treatment patterns, FGFR2 testing patterns, and effectiveness of pemigatinib for cholangiocarcinoma when used in everyday practice.

"The efficiency on top of the efficacy because it is critical that we will achieve this balance of cost and performance. And in addition to that, I think one more aspect we are putting emphasis is actually how, in the new era of AI, all pervasive intelligence and pervasive connectivity, how do we bring human, AI, and machine into a cohesive coexistence and also cohesive collaboration so that we are able to have actually the AI machine support human, empower human, and at the same time. We look at actually the design of the workflows so that we are able to extract out the value, at the same time, also elevate the human to do more creative works. So this is one aspect. I think we have been hearing a lot, but how this will move forward is some efforts have started, and certainly we look forward to gathering more ecosystem partners to embark on this journey together." - Dr Sun Sumei, Executive Director, Institute of Infocomm Research, ASTAR Fresh out of the studio, Dr. Sun Sumei, Executive Director of the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) at Singapore's ASTAR shares her perspectives on AI's fast-paced evolution and its broader impact on the future.

In episode 172, which is the second part in our two-part series, we welcome back Njeri Muhia and Abeera Akhtar from Mercy Corps Ventures, Greg Schneider and Marie-Odile Zanders from Empowa, and Irthu Suresh from Atlantis. We continue exploring their pilot projects that leverage Web3 technology to build climate resilience, diving deeper into the role of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, how to effectively measure impact, the next steps for scaling their Web3 projects, and much more.--Key Takeaways--The core aspects that make blockchain unique like immutability, transparency, and the ability to reach consensus quickly, are gamechangers in international development efforts. They can increase efficiency by cutting out intermediaries, while making it much easier to monitor and verify the impact of projects.Many developing economies leapfrogged traditional technology like LAN lines and Ethernet, going straight to mobile and wireless technologies. This has resulted in a high level of penetration of wireless tech, which has helped fuel the growth of Web3 in these areas, leading to many exciting innovations.It's important to remember that blockchain is a backend solution when introducing innovations to communities. It is far more important for beneficiaries to be aware of the benefits and values of the project, and how it will improve their lives, rather than the intricacies of the technology behind the innovations. You can slowly educate the community on blockchain and crypto as you go, but it doesn't need to be a part of the initial sales pitch.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-172-piloting-change-part-2-exploring-web3-innovations-for-real-world-impact-ft-mercy-corps-ventures-empowa-and-atlantis

TLDR - In this episode, we explore how Empowa and Atlantis, supported by Mercy Corps Ventures, are leveraging Web3 technology to scale climate-resilient housing in Mozambique and improve clean water access in India. Learn how blockchain is driving real-world impact through these innovative pilot projects.=========================================In episode 171, which is part 1 of a 2-part series, we're excited to welcome five amazing guests: Njeri Muhia and Abeera Akhtar from Mercy Corps Ventures, Greg Schneider and Marie-Odile Zanders from Empowa, and Irthu Suresh from Atlantis. We explore the pilot projects that Empowa and Atlantis recently completed with the help of Mercy Corps Ventures which leverage Web3 to scale climate-resilient housing in Mozambique and improve clean water access in India. We discuss the key findings, challenges, and impacts of these projects.--Key Takeaways--In Mozambique, it is very difficult for the average individual to purchase a home. This is especially true as many individuals in Africa have informal or inconsistent incomes, making it difficult to get a mortgage. Empowa addresses this through their unique on-chain Rent-to-own project where individuals contribute capital over time to the principle as they pay their rent.When it comes to climate resilience, access to clean water is essential. Currently, access to energy and water is highly centralized in India. However, these centralized networks can be susceptible to climate shocks. To address this, Atlantis explored how decentralized networks can help communities coordinate around clean water access and build greater resiliency to climate shocks.There is a misperception that individuals with low or inconsistent incomes in emerging markets cannot be trusted with loans. However, research has consistently shown that these individuals are highly effective at managing their finances and have very high repayment rates on loans. The important lesson here is that these individuals are bankable if the systems are designed to work for them.When designing Web3 interventions, especially in traditionally underserved and excluded communities, it is important to focus on building solutions that are easy to use and don't require the user to have knowledge of Web3. Blockchain is simply the plumbing behind the initiative.When designing and implementing innovations that disrupt traditional systems, you will encounter and be challenged by incumbent power structures. It is hard to predict what challenges these will pose, so it's important to remain agile and adaptable to the unique context in which you are working, and to engage the community and local stakeholders in the design of the project.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-171-piloting-change-exploring-web3-innovations-for-real-world-impact-ft-mercy-corps-ventures-empowa-and-atlantis

"95% of the world's pastors have no formal ministry training. And the best thing that we had done in all those years was training pastors and communities of poverty. So we said, “If it's not training urban ministers, it goes.” We got down to the nitty-gritty of one focus, which is training urban pastors and church leaders, because we believe that that will lead to healthier churches, which will then lead to the influencing of their neighborhoods to flourish." - Rev.

Want to understand how tariffs shape global trade and impact our industry as well as your daily purchases? In this deep dive, we explore the real-world consequences of tariffs on the electronics industry, specifically focusing on how measures like those implemented by the Trump administration and upheld by Biden have changed market dynamics. From production shifts out of China to new beneficiaries like Mexico, Vietnam, and Malaysia, we unpack the economic ripple effects and discuss who ultimately bears the cost—businesses or consumers. We also delve into consumer behavior and price sensitivity, offering examples that illustrate how tariffs can dramatically reshape supply chains.Curious about whether tariffs actually succeed in protecting domestic industries or simply redistribute the global market? Our in-depth discussion, enriched by insights from recent history, reveals that while tariffs may push production and imports away from China, the cost is often absorbed by multiple stakeholders. We look at the electric vehicle (EV) sector and other  categories to highlight the complexity of these economic measures. Join us as we dissect these nuanced topics to understand the long-term implications for global trade and consumer markets.Like every episode of EMS@C-Level, this one was sponsored by global inspection leader Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Adaptable Automation Specialist Launchpad.build (https://launchpad.build).You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

Today it's fashionable to separate the Church from society.  We claim that the legitimate separation of Church from state means that the state should proceed without any influence from the Church.  The Church, however, has a different opinion.  How are we to evaluate of the Catholic Church's contribution to our society?  What impact can the world really expect from the Christian message?  What's the value of the culture that we're proposing?  All these question are central to the discussion about how Jesus raises us up to lead our culture today.
