Menschen mit Traumafolgen schleppen eine tonnenschwere Last durch ihr Leben: die abgespaltenen und belastenden Gefühle von Scham und Schuld.

Last night's Boston School Committee meeting was filled with votes on various topics crucial to the future of the district, including an adjustment to the Exam School Admissions Policy as well the Competency Determination for the Classes of 2026 and 2027. Here's what happened:  Superintendent's Update: Food Security for Students Superintendent Mary Skipper opened with how the district is responding to the federal pause on SNAP benefits. She emphasized that all students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch at BPS sites, and highlighted ongoing school-based food drives and a centralized drive at the Bolling Building. OAG Task Force Membership Proposal:  The Committee reviewed and advanced a new group of members for the Opportunity & Achievement Gaps (OAG) Task Force, which advises and holds the district accountable for a shared plan to close gaps. The updated slate of members were unanimously approved by the Committee later in the evening. Public Comment: Exam Schools, AI, and Dual Language: There were 32 speakers during the public comment period, and many addressed the pending exam school admissions vote, but the night also featured a notable student call for a formal district AI framework, including teacher training and certification for responsible use. Additionally, a number of speakers, once again, urged expansion of dual-language programs, echoing similar requests from last week. It will be interesting to monitor whether the Committee moves forward with this request due to the high volume of testimony.  Adjusted Exam School Admissions Policy:  In a long-awaited vote, last night was the culmination of months of testimony, presentations, and discussion regarding a change to the Exam School Admissions policy. Superintendent Skipper framed the proposal as a compromise of keeping the benefits of the old system while tweaking other aspects. The recommendation preserves the socioeconomic tier structure while adding a citywide pathway for top-scoring students. In speaking about the decision, Member Stephen Alkins urged deeper equity analysis and simulations to surface nuance for marginalized populations who comprise the district's majority. Member Rachel Skerritt stressed the core issue in the district: across BPS, there are not enough students meeting grade-level standards in ELA and math to fill the ~1,000 seventh-grade exam school seats. The adjusted policy passed the committee, with 4 members in favor and 2 members opposed (with one member absent). Secondary Schools/Competency Determination:  After the exam school vote, the Committee then considered three more votes: Chapter 74 (CTE) Admissions Policy for five high schools (Madison Park, English High, Boston Arts Academy, Boston Green Academy, and EMK). Middle School Career Exploration policy to better inform students about CTE pathways earlier. Updated Competency Determination (CD) policy aligned to DESE's summer 2025 changes (the Committee had approved a BPS CD framework in June 2025; this update brings it into compliance with DESE's revisions). Member Skerritt sought clarity on what Competency Determination now means for the Classes of 2026 and 2027 versus graduation requirements. She emphasized that the competency determination is a temporary substitute for grade-10 MCAS as a graduation gate and does not equal a diploma. Instead, it's merely one eligibility condition alongside MassCore and successful completion of four years of study.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Last night's Boston School Committee meeting covered declining enrollment, the Superintendent's contract and an update on transformation schools. Enrollment and Graduation Rates:  Member Brandon Cardet-Hernandez raised two key questions about district trends, enrollment and graduation rates, both of which have been ongoing areas of concern. Superintendent Skipper confirmed that enrollment is declining across the district, particularly among “newcomer” students, whose numbers are “roughly half” of what they were last year. She explained that while BPS is working to support families, several upcoming cohorts will be smaller, a trend driven by both post-COVID demographic shifts and broader declines in birth rates. The Superintendent also noted that a more complete enrollment report will be presented in November. As for graduation rates, Skipper said that while internal numbers suggest an increase in June graduations and a “robust summer cohort,” final figures will not be available until the state releases official data later in the school year. Public Comment and the Upcoming Exam School Vote: 33 speakers addressed the Committee during public comment, with many focused on the exam school admissions policy. The upcoming vote on this issue will take place next week, and the evening featured impassioned arguments on both sides of the debate, some defending the current system with others pushing for policy shifts. In addition to the exam school discussion, quite a few speakers advocated for increasing access to dual-language programming. Superintendent's Contract Discussion:  The Committee then voted to approve several grants before turning to a discussion of Superintendent Skipper's new contract. In framing the conversation, Superintendent Skipper spoke passionately about her commitment to Boston and the mission of BPS. Absent in the discussion was a lack of benchmarks or goals tied to Skipper's renewal. Member Cardet-Hernandez echoed this sentiment, and he called for a more calibrated and evidence-based evaluation process. Transformation Schools Accountability Update:  The Committee then heard an update on Transformation Schools, schools identified by the state as requiring targeted intervention. Superintendent Skipper noted that while there are “signs of progress,” persistent challenges remain, including low student achievement and chronic absenteeism. She highlighted that for the third consecutive year, more schools improved their accountability percentile than declined, with 18 schools improving and eight remaining steady. Member Cardet-Hernandez called the presentation both encouraging and sobering, noting that despite incremental gains, roughly one-third of BPS schools remain in transformation status, serving the highest concentrations of Black, Latino, low-income, multilingual, and special education students. State of the Schools Address: Special guest, Greg Maynard, from the Boston Policy Institute discussed the first ever State of the Schools address from Mayor Michelle Wu. While the Mayor touted new bilingual education, an increase of air conditioning units, and improvement on  transportation times, there were a number of more thorny issues that the Mayor avoided. The speech stopped short of confronting the district's most pressing challenges. For instance, while Mayor Wu cited examples of students taking advanced coursework, her discussion of overall academic performance was minimal. Mayor Wu did not address Boston Public Schools' recently released MCAS results, which remain far below pre-pandemic levels. Finally, on transportation, Wu noted that 96% of school buses arrived on time yesterday but did not address the district's long-term failure to meet the standards required under the 2022 Systemic Improvement Plan (SIP), which set a monthly 95% on-time goal.

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x648! Shameless plug 4 et 5 novembre 2025 - FAIRCON 2025 8 et 9 novembre 2025 - DEATHcon 17 au 20 novembre 2025 - European Cyber Week 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2026 Description Introduction Dans cet épisode spécial du podcast, Miguel De Bruycker, directeur général du Centre pour la cybersécurité belge (CCB), partage les approches innovantes et les réalisations de son organisation en matière de protection des citoyens contre les cybermenaces. L'entretien met en lumière une philosophie unique qui place la santé numérique des citoyens au cœur des priorités gouvernementales. Une approche belge distinctive Contrairement à de nombreux pays occidentaux, la Belgique a adopté une approche proactive de la cybersécurité qui se distingue par son intervention directe pour protéger la population. Miguel De Bruycker souligne que leur clientèle comprend la population générale, les entreprises, les services gouvernementaux et l'infrastructure critique. Cette vision globale reflète une conception de la cybersécurité comme une question de santé publique, où l'État a un rôle actif à jouer pour le bien-être collectif. Le système suspect@ccb.be : une initiative citoyenne massive L'une des initiatives phares du CCB est la création, il y a sept ans, de l'adresse email suspect@ccb.be. Disponible en quatre langues, ce service permet aux citoyens belges de signaler les courriels suspects. Les chiffres sont impressionnants : en 2024, le centre a reçu en moyenne 25 000 courriels par jour de la part de la population. Cette mobilisation citoyenne témoigne d'une prise de conscience collective des menaces numériques et d'une confiance dans les institutions pour traiter ces signalements. Le Belgian Anti-Phishing Shield : une protection par défaut Depuis cinq ans, le CCB a mis en place un système encore plus audacieux : le Belgian Anti-Phishing Shield (BPS). En partenariat avec les principaux fournisseurs d'accès Internet (FAI) du pays, le centre a développé un système de protection DNS avec une approche opt-out, c'est-à-dire que la protection est activée par défaut pour tous les citoyens. Le fonctionnement est le suivant : à partir des 25 000 courriels quotidiens reçus, l'équipe identifie les domaines et sites web malveillants. Ces informations sont ensuite transmises aux FAI qui affichent des pages d'avertissement aux utilisateurs tentant d'accéder à ces sites dangereux. En 2024, ces pages d'avertissement ont été affichées 240 millions de fois, démontrant l'ampleur de la protection offerte. Un équilibre délicat entre protection et liberté Miguel De Bruycker reconnaît le caractère intrusif de cette approche et la nécessité d'éviter toute accusation de censure gouvernementale. C'est pourquoi le système intègre plusieurs garde-fous essentiels. Premièrement, contrairement aux systèmes opt-in utilisés dans d'autres pays (qui sont peu utilisés), le système belge est opt-out : les citoyens peuvent facilement désactiver la protection s'ils le souhaitent, les instructions étant clairement affichées sur les pages d'avertissement. Deuxièmement, un mécanisme de contestation permet aux utilisateurs de signaler immédiatement si un site est incorrectement classé comme malveillant. Dans ce cas, le site est retiré de la liste et analysé rapidement. S'il s'avère qu'il n'est pas dangereux, il reste débloqué ; sinon, il est remis sur la liste. Après cinq ans de fonctionnement, aucune plainte officielle n'a été déposée contre ce système, ce qui témoigne de son acceptation par la population. Une efficacité mesurable Bien que Miguel De Bruycker admette qu'il est difficile de mesurer précisément l'impact de ces mesures (car on peut quantifier ce qui est bloqué, mais pas ce qui aurait pu se produire sans protection), les indicateurs internationaux sont encourageants. La Belgique se classe régulièrement dans le top 3 ou 4 des pays européens en matière de cybersécurité selon divers indices comme le Bitsite Index ou l'ITO Index. Ce positionnement avantageux suggère que l'approche belge porte ses fruits et pourrait inspirer d'autres nations. Une organisation efficiente L'aspect peut-être le plus remarquable de cette initiative est son efficacité organisationnelle. L'équipe qui traite les 25 000 courriels quotidiens et gère le système BPS ne compte que quatre personnes. Cette prouesse est rendue possible par une automatisation poussée des processus. Le centre travaille avec deux partenaires privés qui aident au traitement. L'information est anonymisée de façon automatisée, puis contrôlée par les partenaires privés avant d'être analysée automatiquement au centre. L'intervention humaine n'est nécessaire que lorsque des anomalies sont détectées. Coordination nationale et cadre fédéral Sur le plan organisationnel, la cybersécurité en Belgique relève du niveau fédéral, comme la défense et les services de renseignement. Le CCB est au cœur d'un écosystème de coordination complexe. Un comité de coordination réunit mensuellement tous les chefs des services de renseignement et de sécurité (police, renseignement militaire et civil, affaires étrangères, défense). Au-dessus se trouve un comité stratégique incluant les représentants ministériels, et au sommet, le Conseil national de sécurité avec les ministres eux-mêmes. Cette structure permet une circulation efficace de l'information et une prise de décision coordonnée. L'initiative Cyber Fundamentals et NIS 2 Au-delà de la protection des citoyens, le CCB joue un rôle majeur dans l'implémentation de la directive européenne NIS 2. Le centre a développé un framework appelé Cyber Fundamentals, qui établit une couche commune de mesures de cybersécurité pour tous les secteurs, tout en laissant la liberté aux autorités sectorielles et régionales d'ajouter des mesures spécifiques. Cette approche de simplification et de standardisation tout en respectant l'autonomie a été rapidement adoptée et inspire maintenant d'autres pays comme l'Irlande et la Roumanie. Une adoption au niveau européen est même envisagée. La patience comme stratégie Miguel De Bruycker conclut en soulignant que ces succès sont le fruit de dix années d'efforts soutenus. Le chemin n'a pas été simple : des accords n'ont pas toujours été respectés, des collaborations ont connu des difficultés. Mais la clé du succès a été la persévérance et la capacité à maintenir le dialogue plutôt que de rompre les collaborations. Le CCB a créé un Conseil de cybersécurité permettant de discuter des problèmes en dehors des grandes réunions officielles, favorisant ainsi la conciliation et la recherche de solutions communes. Cette approche de collaboration continue, même face aux obstacles, illustre une philosophie où le bénéfice collectif prime sur les frictions individuelles. C'est cette vision à long terme et cette capacité à transformer les conflits apparents en opportunités de solutions qui ont permis à la Belgique de devenir un modèle en matière de cybersécurité citoyenne.

At last night's Boston School Committee meeting, members dove immediately into another discussion about the Exam School Admissions Policy Recommendation, foregoing the usual Superintendent's Report. In response to committee requests from the last meeting, the district presented new simulations that gave equal weight (as opposed to 70% grades and 30% MPA score) to both GPA and MAP assessment scores. The district found that there was minimal change in the overall makeup of students admitted to exam schools. Secondary Schools Policy Update: The Committee then moved through grant approvals and then heard a report on secondary school policies, including graduation and vocational admissions criteria. The Committee discussed adding weighted lotteries for all vocational programs, spurring questions about the complexities of admissions for families. District leaders outlined new competency determination requirements to align with updated state (DESE) standards for the Class of 2026 and beyond, with adjustments for multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and those with exceptional circumstances. Embedded in the district's presentation was also a recommendation for a watered-down MassCore with a “D-” signaling mastery in certain courses. This raised concerns about expectations and abiding by the previous Committee votes to use MassCore as the graduation standard.  Additionally, the district failed to present data for the Class of 2025, prompting Member Brandon Cardet-Hernandez to question how many students are currently on track to meet graduation standards. He noted that in the presentation disseminated by the district only 41% of the Class of 2026 appears to be on pace to complete MassCore, and therefore graduate. Summer Learning Initiatives: Next, the Superintendent presented on Summer Learning 2025, reporting participation from 14,600 students, up 600 from the previous year. The district highlighted stronger collaboration across departments and improved multilingual family communications. However, outcomes from these summer programs were nonexistent.  Member Cardet-Hernandez questioned whether the district is truly committed to evaluating outcomes. He pressed for evidence that these expensive programs are actually closing achievement gaps. Member Skerritt echoed that same concern, asking for longitudinal tracking of student outcomes, noting that with today's data tools, the district should be able to easily compare participants' attendance, growth, and testing results to prior years. MCAS and Accountability Results: The final report of the night centered on 2025 State Assessment and Accountability Results. Superintendent Skipper cited “encouraging progress” in literacy for grades 3–8 and said Boston outperformed other large districts statewide. But a closer look revealed troubling trends. Member Cardet-Hernandez questioned the effects of “social promotion,” advancing students who haven't met grade-level standards, and how this impacts high school achievement. Member Skerritt then asked what proficiency targets the district is actually aiming for, suggesting BPS set clear districtwide goals through 2030. As the below chart indicates, MCAS scores remain below pre-pandemic levels across all grades: Despite these declines, the district framed the results as “encouraging,” a characterization that is difficult to reconcile with the data. What's Next:  The meeting was emblematic of the district's current crossroads: a push for optimism and narrative control amid academic stagnation. The next meeting will be held on October 29th.

In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Lucy Johnstone about the Power Threat Meaning Framework and how it offers an alternative to traditional psychiatric diagnoses by focusing on power, threat, and meaning in people's lives.Dr Lucy Johnstone is a consultant clinical psychologist, author of 'Users and abusers of psychiatry' (3rd edition Routledge 2021) and ‘A straight-talking guide to psychiatric diagnosis' (PCCS Books, 2nd edition 2022); co-editor of 'Formulation in psychology and psychotherapy: making sense of people's problems' (Routledge, 2nd edition 2013); and co-author of ‘A straight talking introduction to the Power Threat Meaning Framework', 2020, PCCS Books) along with a number of other chapters and articles taking a critical perspective on mental health theory and practice. She is the former Director of the Bristol Clinical Psychology Doctorate in the UK and has worked in Adult Mental Health settings for many years, most recently in a service in South Wales. She is Visiting Professor at London South Bank University, an Honorary Fellow of the BPS, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.Lucy was lead author, along with Professor Mary Boyle, for the ‘Power Threat Meaning Framework' (2018), a British Psychological Society publication co-produced with service users, which outlines a conceptual alternative to psychiatric diagnosis and has attracted national and international attention. Lucy is an experienced conference speaker and lecturer, and currently works as an independent trainer. She lives in Bristol, UK.  

The Boston School Committee held their second meeting of the school year last night, primarily to present a proposal to change the exam school admissions policy. This was the sole report of the meeting and much of the public comment surrounded this proposal. After the Superintendent's report, Member Cardet-Hernández pressed for updates on graduation rates and summer school outcomes. Superintendent Skipper noted those would come at the October 8th meeting, alongside official enrollment numbers. The district formally presented its recommended changes: Remove all school-based points, which Skipper described as confusing, inequitable, and less impactful over time. Reduce housing-based points from 15 to 10 points, aligning with observed differences in composite scores. Add a “citywide round”: the first 20% of seats at each exam school would go to applicants with the highest composite scores citywide, regardless of tier. Maintain the current four-tier structure, based on neighborhood population, not applicant numbers. Superintendent Skipper emphasized that these changes would ensure fairness, prevent inflation of scores above 100, and preserve the original intent of the 2021 policy. However, School Committee members raised important questions about the implications of the policy shifts. For instance, Member Polanco García pressed for plans to better support newcomers and English Language Learners, whom Skipper admitted still lack sufficient resources. Meanwhile, Member Rachel Skerritt sought clarity on whether the proposal preserves equity while creating a pathway for the city's highest achievers. She also noted the district's failure to deliver on earlier promises to strengthen rigor in grades 4–6, which was promised five years ago. Zooming out a bit, Member Cardet Hernández questioned why BPS continues to frame admissions around three schools instead of tackling system-wide quality, noting families' desire for options across all grades. And Member Stephen Alkins asked about the drop in projected Black student enrollment (from ~20% to 15%) and urged more transparency in data and grading practices. To cap it all off, Chair Robinson underscored the Committee's failure to improve early-grade preparation, warning that focusing solely on exam school admissions leaves thousands of other students behind. Clearly, members have many questions, and it is unclear if this policy change will meet the stated goals of clarity, stability, and simplicity. Exam School Admissions Policy Recommendation:What's Up Next?The Committee will take a final vote on the admissions policy on November 5th. The next meeting will be held on October 8th at 6pm.

Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice._____________________Arr: Welcome to another episode of Rio Bravo qWeek. My name is Hector Arreaza, I'm an associate program director and faculty in the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today my co-host is Cameron Carlisle, who is a 4th-year medical student finishing his last rotation of med school. Welcome, Cameron, please introduce yourself.Arreaza: What are we talking about today, Cameron?Cam: Dr. Arreaza, did you know you're probably carrying around a chemical in your body that mimics estrogen? In fact, a 2004 CDC study found over 92% of Americans had detectable levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in their urine. Today's topic is BPA.BPA is everywhere: receipts, water bottles, canned foods, baby bottles, and even our dental fillings. It's one of the most ubiquitous endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interferes with the body's hormone systems. That's why today's episode is about making the invisible visible. Our goals for today's podcast:Break down what BPA isShow how it affects the human bodyExplain how you and your patients can limit exposureEmpower both clinicians and the public with real, practical informationArreaza: Thanks for clarifying BPA today. It seems like we always have to learn about a new carcinogen or toxic substance that we are exposed to. I remember when I was a child, Yellow #5 became very concerning for the general public but it is still being used in our foods. So, it's good you are talking about this. What Is BPA?Cam: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used since the 1950s, primarily in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It makes plastic clear, and is often found in:Water bottlesCanned food liningsBaby bottles (pre-2012)Takeout containersCash register receiptsDental sealantsArreaza: So, I've seen the “BPA-free” labels many times, and today I'm glad you are going to shed some light about it.Cam: What's alarming is that BPA leaches out of these products, especially when exposed to heat, acidity, or repeated use. A Harvard study found that people who drank from plastic bottles for just one week had a 69% increase in urinary BPA levels (Carwile & Michels, 2009).Arreaza: That's a lot of people 69%. Section 3: What happens when BPA gets into our body? How BPA Works in the BodyCam: BPA is classified as an endocrine disruptor, meaning it can bind to estrogen receptors and mimic or block natural hormone functions.It affects:Reproductive systems (both male and female)NeurodevelopmentThyroid signalingPancreatic β-cell functionMetabolism and fat storageEven low-dose exposure can disrupt cellular function. BPA acts as a xenoestrogen (foreign estrogen) and has been shown to alter DNA methylation, leading to epigenetic changes that persist across generations (Manikkam et al., 2013).Arreaza: So, BPA can cause epigenetic changes that can be inherited. BPA can persist for generations in your offspring.BPA's Health Impacts – What the Research SaysHere's where it gets serious. Let's go system-by-system:1. Reproductive HealthFemales: Linked to PCOS, infertility, and early puberty (Peretz et al., 2014).Males: Reduced sperm count and motility; altered testosterone levels.2. Pregnancy and Birth OutcomesIncreased risk of preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and low birth weight (Snijder et al., 2013).Studies show BPA crosses the placenta, directly affecting the fetus.3. Neurological DevelopmentAssociated with ADHD, anxiety, and impaired executive function in children exposed in utero (Mustieles et al., 2015).4. Metabolism and DiabetesBPA exposure is linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, even at low doses (Lang et al., 2008).5. CancerAnimal and human data link BPA to increased risk of breast and prostate cancer via estrogenic mechanisms.6. MortalityA 2020 JAMA study found individuals with higher BPA levels had a 49% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with lower levels (Gao et al., 2020).Arreaza: You are scaring me. I wonder what my BPA level is in my blood. Actually, BPA can be detected in urine. This is the most common approach for population-level biomonitoring, because BPA and its metabolites are mostly excreted in urine. Studies have found that BPA is present in most people, even up to 85–99% in large cohorts. Cam: That's literally everyone. Sources of BPA ExposureLet's talk about things we use every day:Thermal receipts (like from Target or Starbucks): BPA can transfer onto your skin and be absorbed, especially if your hands are wet or lotioned.Canned soups: One study showed that eating canned soup daily for five days led to a 1000% increased urinary BPA levels (Carwile et al., 2011).Plastic water bottles left in the car on hot days or plastic food trays for microwaving = chemical leaching.Baby bottles and pacifiers (pre-2012): primary concern for newborns.Arreaza: So, Cameron, you were exposed to BPA as a baby.Cam: Here's the jaw-dropper: We ingest up to 5 grams of plastic per week, roughly the weight of a credit card (WWF, 2019; University of Newcastle). This includes microplastics like BPA, which enter through food, water, and air.Arreaza: So, it translates into 40 lbs of plastic in a lifetime, by age 70. What can we do as family physicians?Family Medicine and Preventive CareAs family physicians, we are at the frontlines of prevention. Our role includes:Anticipatory guidance: during prenatal visits, well-child visits, and chronic disease managementScreening opportunities: ask about storage habits, microwave use, and receipt handlingEnvironmental health counseling: AAFP recommends addressing endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) when relevant to a patient's concerns.It's not just about treating diabetes or obesity. It's about recognizing that environmental exposure may be a root cause.Arreaza: Prevention is my favorite topic!Cam: One helpful clinical practice:Arreaza: What else can we do to reduce BPA exposure?Practical Steps to Reduce BPAHere's what patients and doctors alike can do today:Switch to BPA-free products, but be careful, as replacements like BPS or BPF may also be harmful (Rochester & Bolden, 2015).Avoid microwaving or dishwashing plastic containers.Use digital receipts.Filter tap water using carbon filters, which can reduce microparticle ingestion.Choose fresh produce over canned goods when possible.Also, wash your hands after handling receipts, especially before eating or touching your face.Arreaza: What is our government doing to protect us?Public Health and Policy UpdatesRegulations are slowly catching up:The FDA banned BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups in 2012.The European Union has stricter limits, and France banned BPA in all food packaging in 2015.California's Proposition 65 requires BPA warning labels.Arreaza: Proposition 65, passed by direct voter initiative in 1986, “WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”Arreaza: The FDA is planning to phase out petroleum-based food dyes (certified color additives) from the American food supply – marking a significant milestone in the efforts to protect the public. Cam: Many products still contain BPA analogs (BPS, BPF), which are not yet well-regulated.This is where clinician advocacy matters, where we can guide public opinion and support legislative change.Arreaza: So, millions of pounds of toxic substances are produced by many industries in the US. As physicians, we have to stay informed and update our patients.Cameron: How can we wrap up this episode?Conclusion and TakeawaysBPA is a hormone disruptor hiding in plain sight.People are exposed to BPA every day, but small lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce it.Family medicine has a role in education, prevention, and advocacy.Let's all be part of the solution for our health and future generations. Stanley (tumblers) are not sponsoring this episode, and we did not receive any money from them. Arreaza: That's it for today's episode of Rio Bravo qWeek. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a colleague or medical student who may need to know about BPA. I'm Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Cameron: Hopefully, in the future I will talk to you about more endocrine disrupting chemicals.

A mediados de julio, el gobierno lanzó la Estrategia Interinstitucional de Revinculación Educativa para reincorporar a estudiantes que habían abandonado la educación. El operativo, coordinado por ANEP, MIDES, MEC, INAU y BPS, entre otros actores públicos y sociales, detectó 5.382 menores en edad de educación obligatoria que no asistían a clases. En conferencia de prensa, el presidente de la ANEP, Pablo Caggiani, y el ministro de Desarrollo Social, Gonzalo Civila, informaron que, de los 5.382 niñas, niños y adolescentes detectados como desvinculados del sistema educativo, 2.246 retomaron sus estudios en las primeras tres semanas de julio de este año. Las autoridades explicaron que la estrategia incluyó visitas domiciliarias y contacto directo con las familias, lo que permitió entender las causas del abandono, y, en ese sentido, detalló que no hay un único motivo. “Había necesidad de que hubiera otro yendo a buscar, conversando. Tenemos un conjunto de gurises que aún así no retornan. Ahí las situaciones son realmente múltiples y todas muy embromadas para la vida de los gurises, desde no poder dejar la changa porque hay que pagar la olla en casa, hasta situaciones de salud o de muerte del familiar que cuidaba. Es decir, nos está dando información de qué cosas tenemos que mover desde el Estado para garantizar el derecho a la educación y vincularlos a instituciones”. El Estado continuará el seguimiento y, mientras tanto, quienes no estén inscritos dejarán de percibir asignaciones familiares. Además, señaló que los adolescentes de 15 a 17 años fueron los que presentaron más dificultades para la revinculación, y agregó: “Ahí hay que poner la lupa, ver qué nos está pasando, y qué les está pasando a los gurises que no logramos que estén en un centro educativo”.

In this bonus episode, Jill and Ross touch upon two main themes significantly impacting the district: enrollment decline and graduation standards. We discuss how enrollment has dropped over the past half-decade and dive into those numbers. Ross and Jill then use analysis and insight from some of our first episodes in 2019 to touch on the key components of MassCore and why they matter for Boston Public Schools.  Enrollment Losses, A Startling Decline: Since the 2019–2020 school year, BPS has lost over 4,000 students, a 9.4% drop, making it one of the fastest shrinking large school districts in the country. Recent data from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education suggests the trend may be even worse. At the same time, staffing in the district has grown by 12.7%, primarily driven by increases in non-teaching roles like administrators and paraprofessionals. This mismatch, fewer students, more staff, raises major questions about resource alignment and what the City and district are doing to stem the loss of students across BPS.  A New Graduation Standard - MassCore in 2025 On the academic front, BPS is in a moment of transition following Massachusetts' recent vote to remove MCAS as a graduation requirement. With local control now shaping graduation standards, BPS has chosen MassCore, a state-recommended framework aimed at aligning high school coursework with college readiness. Interestingly, this question links closely with a major study from the Boston Globe relating to how our district prepares our brightest students for the future. We are still awaiting data from this year about graduation rates and are keen to analyze how the similar standards for this past graduating class impacted rates. Adopted in 2021, MassCore includes requirements in math, English, history, foreign language, the arts, and more. However, implementation has been uneven: while MassCore completion rates have doubled in Boston, they still trail the state average by 30 percentage points. With no statewide graduation mandate in place, how BPS chooses to implement MassCore will significantly influence whether the district can deliver on its promise to offer our children a quality education.  Looking Ahead! Over the course of the next three weeks, we will be dropping our “Deep Dives” series about MassCore on our feed. These re-releases will build upon our discussion in this episode and expand into some other areas well!  The first school committee meeting of the 2025-2026 school year will be on September 10th at 6pm. We will be watching, listening, and recording! Until then, we hope you enjoy the final days of summer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Welsh government has unveiled a new system of payments for farmers. The sustainable farming scheme or SFS replaces the current basic payment scheme or BPS, which farmers received under the EU. BPS is being wound down and farmers in Wales are being encouraged to take part in the new scheme, which will pay them to produce food sustainably and protect the environment. Farming unions welcome some aspects of the SFS but say farmers now face a cliff edge as old payments are phased out next year. Environmentalists say that although it's a step in the right direction, it is also a missed opportunity and Wales needs to do more to protect biodiversity and tackle climate change. We speak to the Tenant Farmers Association, the RSPB, NFU Cymru, and Wales deputy first minister and cabinet secretary for climate change and rural affairs Huw Irranca-Davies.

Last Night at School Committee – July 9, 2025 The only Boston School Committee meeting of the summer opened with a goodbye to a leaving member, included a summary of the Superintendent's progress, and ended with more questions than answers. Here's what happened last night: The meeting began with another goodbye to Committee Member Lima Barbosa who previously announced that she will be leaving the school committee for another professional opportunity. Chair Robinson commended her work on the committee and wished her well in the future. Of note, there is still no word on the process for filling her position. The meeting included votes on various grants in the district as well as an ask from the district to ensure that the leased land permits for the Boys and Girls Martin Richard Foundation Field House Project were legally approved. The votes were approved unanimously.  During the public comment portion of the meeting, there were 10 public speakers that advocated on behalf of different issues. There was a wide range of comments last night, including more testimony about the closing of the Dever, achievement gaps for English Language Learners, support for bus monitors, exam school policy concerns, and significant issues at the Mel King Academy.  There were also several speakers focused on the poor support offered to students and families in need. One parent spoke to the cumbersome process of school placement related to the student's IEP, and another parent testified about the district's failure to adequately assist her medically-disabled son. Much of this testimony was heartwrenching, illustrating some significant gaps in the BPS' support for students with unique needs.  Over the past six months, we have been closely following how the federal government's cuts could impact the district. Last night, Superintendent Skipper offered some insight into resource allocation for next year and beyond. Superintendent Skipper stated that, as of now, no positions will be cut in ‘25-'26 due to funding cuts from the Trump Administration. However, the Superintendent did note that certain title funding may be in jeopardy that could strip away professional development opportunities as well as English Language Learner programming. This will be an issue we continue to monitor.  At the last meeting, the School Committee outlined their evaluation of Superintendent Mary Skipper, and they deemed that Superintendent Skipper was "proficient." During this meeting, committee members unanimously voted to approve their evaluation of the Superintendent, yet certain committee members questioned some aspects of the district's progress in terms of quantifiable data. Member Cardet-Hernandez inquired about how data was used to inform committee members' decisions, specifically in terms of graduation rate, enrollment numbers, and achievement gaps. In response, the Superintendent stated that she would provide members with “memos” when this data becomes available.  Here at the Shah Foundation, we decided to conduct our own analysis of the committee members' evaluations, and we found a few notable pieces of data. First, across 48 written pages and more than 9,000 words of evaluation on the four standards, there were fewer than 50 data points cited. Second, two of the members did not cite a single specific number in their evaluation of the superintendent's performance. Third, just two members used more than 10 specific data points. Clearly, quantifiable data is not a crucial aspect of the members' evaluation process. With respect to media coverage of the evaluation, the Boston Globe ran a headline stating that “BPS Superintendent Skipper receives high marks in latest evaluation.” However, this attention grabbing title fails to adequately dissect and uncover the truth behind the committee's analysis. In the body of the article, the Globe notes that “progress remains uneven across schools” and much of the analysis from members echoes the same. Learn more about your ad choices.

After discovering her toxic chemical levels were 88% higher than the average American, DailyMail Deputy Health Editor Alexa Lardieri took a bold step: she joined Ruan Living's pioneering and transformative 40-Day Home Detox program to reduce her everyday exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, BPS, phthalates, and benzene. In this follow-up to episodes 86–89, Alexa returns to share her before-and-after Million Marker urine test results—and the data is powerful. Her bisphenol levels dropped from 88% to zero, and other chemicals linked to hormone disruption and cancer also fell significantly. You'll learn: The invisible yet measurable impact of toxic exposures in daily life How Alexa's small product swaps led to big biological shifts What Alexa swapped to dramatically lower her bisphenol and benzene levels The role of urine testing for toxins in tracking real detox progress What factors might have temporarily elevated her phthalate levels again How travel, beauty products, and furniture can reintroduce exposures Smart strategies for choosing non-toxic furniture and textiles Whether you're seeking hormone balance, fertility support, or cancer recovery, this episode reveals how detoxing your home can radically lower your toxic burden—in just 40 days.

Plastics are deeply woven into the fabric of our everyday lives—from the water bottles we sip from to the skincare products we apply, and even the yoga pants we wear. But beneath this modern convenience lies an alarming truth: plastics are loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals that may be sabotaging your fertility, energy, mood, and overall health.In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I share Elena's real-life story of how eliminating plastic exposure for just 30 days dramatically improved her hormone balance, energy, skin, and sleep—and ultimately helped her conceive naturally after 3 years of trying.

Here's what happened last night: Saying Goodbye: Committee Member Lima Barbosa announced that next month's meeting will be her last. Her departure will create an opening on the Committee, yet we did not hear about the process of filling her seat. Host Ross Wilson announced that he will look into potentially joining the committee in her stead. Public Comment: Eid, Henderson, and Equity: The Eid Coalition Group dominated public comment as multiple speakers urged the district to close schools on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The parents, students, and advocates highlighted the difficulty of having to choose whether they must miss a school day or an important holiday. Additionally, parents from the Henderson Inclusion School gave a moving statement about how the school's original inclusive mission has eroded, illustrating greater concerns raised over the past year about its decline. Votes, Votes, Votes: The School Committee ticked off a number of unanimous votes on various matters that had been previously brought up before the members. These included: authorization for student activity funds, superintendent approval authority over trust expenditures, Boston Green Academy's charter renewal, Urban Achievers High School private school application, graduation requirements amendment for alternative education, and the competency determination for the Class of 2026. Notably, there was little inquiry from any School Committee members on graduation rates for this past year. We will be on the lookout for further information about this during future meetings. Superintendent's Report: Progress, But Few Details Superintendent Mary Skipper opened her report with a thank you to this year's retiring BPS staff. She then introduced a new Memorandum of Understanding with the Boston Police Department, which outlines limited circumstances under which schools will share information with law enforcement. The agreement maintains the district's commitment to restorative justice and explicitly prohibits inquiries into students' immigration status. The quarterly update on transformation schools noted “slow and steady” progress, particularly with more coaching and monitoring around grade-level curriculum as well as excitement and school culture improvements. The Superintendent also stated that there remains major issues with chronic absenteeism throughout these schools. Superintendent Evaluation: “Proficient” The Committee presented its annual evaluation of Superintendent Skipper, giving her an overall rating of 4.0 out of 5 and labeling her “proficient.” According to the report, she showed improvement in every category over the past year. However, the evaluation relied on a BPS-specific rubric, diverging from the state's DESE model, raising questions about alignment and transparency. More critically, the Committee did not address major issues in its evaluation, including: the long-term facilities plan, ballooning White Stadium costs, declining enrollment, transportation controversy, and federal funding uncertainty. Exam Schools: Bonus Points No More? The night's final report focused on the exam school admissions policy. While no changes were proposed, as the district made clear their presentation was just an analysis, data simulations hinted at a likely shift away from the controversial “bonus points” system, especially as exam school applicants have dropped by more than 1,000 students over the past five years. Vice Chair O'Neill expressed concern about the unintended consequences of the current tier-based residency system, despite having supported the policy in the past. Two public speakers critiqued the district for their actions, stating that the information they presented was clear when they began the process of changing the admissions policy. Looking Ahead The School Committee's next meeting is scheduled for July 9th, when it will formally vote on Superintendent Skipper's evaluation. Learn more about your ad choices.

SVU Detective Richard Hy joins us again with The Fat Electrician to show even more evidence that the Buffalo school system is obstructing justice and not reporting abuse. If you are concerned about these findings please send a report on https://tips.fbi.gov Subject: Complaint Regarding Buffalo Public Schools – Alleged Failure to Report Abuse and Obstruction of Investigations Dear FBI Buffalo Field Office, I am writing to formally submit a complaint concerning serious allegations of misconduct within the Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) system, specifically regarding the failure to report incidents of child abuse, sexual assault, and attempted abductions, as well as alleged obstruction of law enforcement investigations. These concerns have been brought to public attention through recent statements by Buffalo Police Detective Richard Hy and related media reports. Nature of the Issue: I am concerned about reports that BPS officials have intentionally failed to report incidents of child abuse, sexual assault, and attempted abductions involving students, as required by New York State law for mandated reporters. Additionally, there are allegations that BPS employees and legal representatives have obstructed police investigations by ignoring subpoenas, deleting evidence, and instructing staff not to cooperate with law enforcement. Specific Incidents The February 2025 incident at Dr. Charles R. Drew Science Magnet School involving an attempted abduction, where the school allegedly failed to notify parents and deleted video evidence. There are also several cases where a students reported abuse to counselors who failed to report it, leading to delayed intervention Impact: These alleged actions undermine the safety of students in BPS, violate mandatory reporting laws, and erode public trust in both the school district and law enforcement's ability to protect vulnerable children. I respectfully request that the FBI investigate these allegations to determine whether federal or state laws have been violated, including potential civil rights violations, obstruction of justice, or failure to comply with mandatory reporting requirements. I urge a thorough review of BPS's practices, including their handling of incident reports, compliance with subpoenas, and interactions with law enforcement. If warranted, I request that appropriate actions be taken to hold responsible parties accountable and ensure the safety of students. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I trust that the FBI will handle this complaint with the seriousness it demands to protect the children of Buffalo Public Schools. Please let me know if additional information is required to assist in your investigation. Sincerely, [Your Full Name] ------------------------------ THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

The massive variety of human sexual interests is a little mind-boggling. As what we consider to be sexually typical continues to be expanded and shaped by the internet and popular culture, psychologists are making efforts to research kinks and members of the kink community like never before. Join Ella Rhodes in conversation with Liam Wignall (Senior Lecturer at Brighton University and committee member of the BPS's Sexualities Section) about his work exploring community in these underground spaces, links with neurodivergence, and the ways modern technology is transforming the scene — as well as research into it. We also chat with Dr Kate Marks, a Clinical Psychologist who works with those involved in kink communities, about her impressions of the emotions, social consequences, and even therapeutic echoes that run through these subversive engagements.  This episode discusses sex, sexuality, and the stigma and struggles that can come alongside it. As such, it may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.   This is Episode 40 of PsychCrunch, the podcast of the British Psychological Society's Research Digest, sponsored by Zanda. Episode Credits: Hosted by Ella Rhodes.

Episode 2630: Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Anthony Jay and they discuss items from plastics to genetics, misrepresentation in the media, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/from-plastics-to-genetics-dr-anthony-jay-episode-2630 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  From Plastics to Genetics Dr. Anthony Jay was first on Fitness Confidential back in 2017. (2:00) His book can be purchased in Vinnie's Book Club: Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile (Chagrin and Tonic Series)   He is a researcher and geneticist and the information he wrote in the book is finally being discussed on a larger scale. BPAs don't always mean less harmful; BPS, phthalates, and other chemicals are substituted and can still be an issue. (5:30) The United States allows materials in products and food that are banned in Europe. (8:00) Pharmaceutical companies don't have to release studies, and what they do release is often cherry-picked data presented to the media. Burning carbs for energy means autophagy is not happening. (18:00) Health and genetics play a part in an individual's response to a virus. (23:30) Dr. Jay is a genetic researcher and consultant who helps people pinpoint possible genetic origins of health issues and helps them make changes based on data. They discuss the progression of COVID-19 and the mandates that came along with it. (31:00) The media and pharmaceutical corporations often use fear-mongering tactics and mishandle information. (40:00) Hope and Possibilities Anthony is hopeful that RFK, Jr. will make improvements in the health system, like getting crap out of infant formula. (47:15) What is Dr. Jay's opinion on raw milk? (51:30) Some people are highly sensitive to dairy and generally need to stay away from all dairy; however, others can have raw dairy and not have an issue. Between raw and pasteurized, Anthony personally prefers raw milk and he sources it from a local dairy that he trusts. Conventional milk can have emulsifiers in it to keep it from separating, but emulsifiers are horrible for your health. Emulsifiers are tasteless detergents that weaken your gut lining. (57:30) 23andMe and DNA testing. (1:00:00) Dr Jay is a genetic consultant who can help you see what health needs you may have. (1:00:00) If you decide to use the services that analyze your DNA, you can often opt out of sharing your information. Dr. Jay can give you health insights consultation based on your genetic data. You can do so by contacting him through his website. If you have used a service like 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or SelfDecode, and have access to your raw data file, he will be able to help.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Shanna Swan, Ph.D., professor of environmental medicine and reproductive health at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Dr. Swan is the world's leading expert on the harmful impact of chemicals in our food, water, cosmetics, and various household and consumer products on our hormones, and the consequences for fertility and overall reproductive health. She explains how exposure to phthalates and other endocrine disruptors adversely impacts fetal development, puberty, and the adult brain and body. We discuss the global decline in human fertility due to disruptive environmental toxins, such as pesticides, and certain foods and beverages we consume. We discuss practical strategies to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals, such as phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), BPS, and PFAS. This includes reducing disposable plastic use, making healthier food preparation, consumption, and storage choices, and selecting personal and household products that don't contain harmful toxins. This episode allows you to assess your risk of exposure to endocrine disruptors accurately and empowers you to take control of your hormone health and fertility.
