Levran - Clouds

Live-to-air radio interview with Piers Cunningham and Brendon Telfer. 
If stage 4 restrictions don't work and even NZ can't control Delta, what will work to bring the numbers down? Mornington Peninsula vaccine rates well ahead of state average; Europe sets limits on American travellers as US 'pandemic of the unvaccinated' worsens; the unbelievably high cost of over 7 months of lockdown for Melbourne.

Lockdown Radio - Despite Tough Restrictions, Case Numbers Are Rising

A chat with Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist Russell Morris about his project with musician and actor Rick Springfield. Their new album 'Jack Chrome and the Darkness Waltz' came together from opposite sides of the world and celebrates the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead. Russell explains how the album seemed to almost write itself, plus the influences and technology which made this amazing work possible.

Piers talks with Bruce Keebaugh, founder of catering and events company The Big Group, about the need for a clear and transparent plan to reopen the Victorian economy. Bruce says there's huge frustration for businesses and people stuck at home who want to get back to living. He's a big supporter of rapid anitigen testing, which he reckons is a great tool not being utilised. And he'd love Melbourne Cup Day on November 2nd, often referred to as 'the race that stops the nation', to mark the beginning of Australia's emergence from devastating lockdown.

The Race That Could Start A Nation

Georgie Crozier, Victorian Shadow Minister for health and deputy leader of the Legislative Council, explains why Melburnians must be given hope that their city will emerge from nearly 8 months of crushing lockdown. In a wide-ranging interview, she discusses the government's broken promise of providing thousands of extra ICU beds, its failure to promote all vaccine options to the most vulnerable and its lack of a firm plan to open up from lockdown. Georgie also discusses the return of Matthew Guy as leader of the Opposition, the need to embrace rapid antigen testing and offers her support for calls that the Mornington Peninsula be considered regional and not locked down as part of Greater Melbourne.

Charting A Clear And Transparent Path Out Of Lockdown

Live-to-air radio interview with Piers Cunningham and Brendon Telfer.
Regional status of Mornington Peninsula an increasingly hot issue; Shadow Health minister Georgie Crozier calls for more nuanced, targeted response to hotspots; risk averse Andrews Government plans for gradual and cautious reduction of tight restrictions; overseas lessons in benefits of rapid antigen testing; how to incentivise double vaccinations.

Lockdown Radio - Melbourne Nears 8 Months Of Lockdown As Government Mulls Relaxation Of Restrictions

One year ago, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted, causing widespread destruction to the Pacific Island Nation of Tonga. It spewed volcanic material up to 58 km into the atmosphere, brought a nearly 15 m tsunami that crashed ashore, destroying villages, and created a sonic boom that rippled around the world – twice. 

Even one year on, interest in the extraordinary explosive eruption remains. A sound artist has recently recreated the sonification of the underwater volcanic eruption using rayleigh signal intensity data provided by the Aeolus Virtual Research Environment platform.

Using wind data obtained on one of its overpasses over the ash cloud of the Hunga Tonga explosion, Jamie Perera used an audio sample of one of the shock waves, time-stretched it into a ghostly tone, and assigned it to harmonic values transcribed from 90 Aeolus readings taken over a duration of approximately 15 minutes. 
The listener hears one reading every two seconds, in a harmonic range that spans six piano octaves, the highest of which can be heard at around 01:18 minutes when the readings show the eruption’s dust plume at its highest peak (over 20.5 km). The artistic intention behind the sonification was to evoke the otherworldly landscape of Hunga Tonga and other volcanoes.

Welcome to the latest episode of Beyond Infinity and our first for 2023. We discuss how Unmanned Aerial Vehicle technology is re-shaping the battlefield and beyond. We dive into the exciting world of drones and how they will revolutionize space exploration - like on Mars with the Ingenuity helicopter, which has just completed its 40th ground breaking autonomous flight. Join us as we explore the future of space exploration and the role that AI-powered drones will play in it. Let's get started!

Use And Abuse Of Drones, On Earth As In Heaven

The Many Uses And Abuses Of Drones, On Earth As In Heaven

Since 1950, the average US life expectancy has gone up by almost 10 years, from 70 to 80. With health care continuing to advance, including improvements to end of life care, this steady rate of growth can only be expected to continue.
One of the most unexpected results of everyone living longer has been the rise of the Sandwich Generation. Referring to many adults in their 40s and 50s, they are the nearly 50% of their group who have a parent that is 65 or older while also raising or supporting a child. These adults, sandwiched between caring for their children and parents, make up some of the more than 4.4 million US households where three or more generations live under one roof.
Unfortunately, the responsibility of caring for parent and child alike is placing undue stress on members of the Sandwich Generation. Faced with helping their parents navigate their golden years or getting their kids set on their own track in life, middle-aged Americans are left with little time to care for their own needs.
In conjunction with WITF's Transforming Health, Thursday's Smart Talk looks at the continuing growth of the Sandwich Generation, what challenges come with multi-generational care, and the effects on child, parent, and grandparent alike.
Appearing on the program are Dr. Linda Rhodes, Former Pennsylvania Secretary of Aging and Author of The Essential Guide for Caring for Aging Parents and Joan Krechmer, Executive Director and Geriatric Care Manager at Jewish Family Services in York.

Transforming Health is hosting two free workshops for caregivers in the midstate. RSVP online to join Caring for Mom and Dad on June 6 at the York Jewish Community Center and/or on June 20 at Dickinson College in Carlisle.
