« Mon vœu pour 2026, c'est qu'il y ait un dialogue au Mali entre le régime de Bamako et le nouveau mouvement d'opposition de l'imam Dicko », déclare le sociologue malien Mohamed Amara en ce début d'année. Il y a un mois, le chef religieux malien Mahmoud Dicko, qui vit en exil à Alger, a créé un nouveau parti, la CFR, la Coalition des Forces pour la République. Son slogan ? « Tout le monde souffre, on ne peut pas vivre dans un pays où plus personne ne peut parler ! ». Mais comment l'imam Dicko va-t-il pouvoir mobiliser à partir de l'étranger ? Le sociologue Mohamed Amara répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI :  Voilà que se crée un nouveau mouvement politique, la CFR, Coalition des forces pour la République, dirigée depuis Alger par l'imam Dicko. Est-ce que c'est une menace sérieuse ou non, pour le régime de Bamako ? Mohamed Amara : C'est une menace très sérieuse quand on connaît l'ancienneté, l'histoire-même de l'imam Dicko, ancien président du Haut Conseil islamique, ancienne figure de proue du M5-RFP qui a participé à la chute de l'ancien président Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta en 2020. Et un religieux aussi, qui a du pouvoir politique, qui a du poids religieux, ne l'oublions pas, c'est ça aussi la force de cette coalition. C'est un mélange de résistance politique, intellectuelle, religieuse, voire même numérique. C'est-à-dire qu'il y a à la fois de la clandestinité et aussi la mobilisation des réseaux sociaux pour faire mal au régime de Bamako alors que les leaders de ce mouvement sont à l'extérieur. Et donc, tout ça, mis bout à bout, amène à penser que cette nouvelle coalition, cette nouvelle forme de résistance, fragilise, vulnérabilise Bamako. Et je pense qu'une des solutions, ce serait bien de discuter avec cette coalition, en tout cas de trouver les voies et moyens pour sortir de cette situation de non-retour qui nous rappelle ce qui s'est passé en 2020. Mais comment ces opposants de la CFR peuvent mobiliser à partir de l'étranger ? La mobilisation aujourd'hui, elle a pris de nouvelles formes, de nouveaux visages, notamment par Internet. Et c'est ça l'imam Mahmoud Dicko. Je pense que sa capacité à mobiliser va beaucoup s'appuyer sur ces liens religieux, sur ces liens politiques. Il y a énormément de relais à Bamako. Bamako, c'est une capitale, il y a tout et son contraire. C'est-à-dire que la situation politico-militaire à Bamako aboutit souvent à des frustrations. Donc, il y a énormément de frustrés qui deviennent des relais pour l'imam Dicko et qui, à tout moment, pourraient changer la donne. Ça me rappelle ce qu'il s'est passé en Tunisie, ce qu'on a appelé le printemps arabe. En 2011… C'est ça. C'était le printemps arabe en 2011 où personne ne s'attendait à ce qu'il s'est passé. Je pense que la situation actuelle au Mali, c'est la situation de toutes les sociétés qui sont fragilisées par l'insécurité, par l'instabilité politique. Et à tout moment, cela peut exploser. Pour ses partisans, notamment pour l'ancien ministre Amion Guindo, l'imam Dicko pourrait être une troisième voie entre les militaires et les jihadistes. Est-ce que c'est crédible ? C'est une piste à explorer. Il me semble que l'imam Dicko pourrait être une troisième voie, c'est-à-dire cette voie qui permettrait de sortir de la situation de crise permanente dans laquelle se trouve le Mali aujourd'hui. Mais certains dénoncent les accointances entre l'imam Dicko et les jihadistes d'Iyad Ag Ghali... Tout ça reste bien sûr à prouver. S'il y a des accointances, pour moi, ça serait plutôt du côté de la CMA, devenue aujourd'hui le FLA, le Front de libération de l'Azawad, qui est un mouvement effectivement politique et qui essaie de trouver des alliances pour changer la donne. Et donc vous pensez que l'imam Dicko est plus proche du FLA de Bilal Ag Acherif que du Jnim de Iyad Ag Ghali ? Bien sûr, il y a une dénomination commune entre eux, c'est avoir une place au Mali, c'est exister. En tout cas, c'est lutter contre le pouvoir en place. Et cela m'amène à dire qu'il y a des possibles liens entre l'imam Mahmoud Dicko et le FLA. Et n'oublions pas aussi qu'il y a l'Algérie qui est une donnée importante. Aujourd'hui, l'imam Mahmoud Dicko est à Alger et aussi une bonne partie du FLA est en Algérie. Dans son message vidéo du mois dernier, l'imam Dicko a cette phrase : « On ne peut plus vivre dans un pays où plus personne ne peut parler. » Est-ce que c'est un point de vue partagé par beaucoup de Maliens ? Oui, c'est un point de vue majoritairement partagé par les Maliens. D'où pour moi l'importance pour la transition actuelle de changer de clapet, c'est-à-dire d'arriver à établir le contact entre la CFR et eux, pour sortir de cette situation de non-retour. Et donc vous espérez qu'un dialogue va s'instaurer entre les militaires au pouvoir et la Coalition des forces pour la République, la CFR ? C'est le vœu que moi je peux faire pour 2026. C'est-à-dire qu'il faut qu'il y ait un dialogue.

2025 felt like a year when everything became more and harder. More crises. More fear. More civic strain. More communities under pressure. And yet – more leadership, too. In this episode, Glennda connects with Darlene Nipper, President of the Rockwood Leadership Institute, for a grounded look at what leadership truly looked like in 2025. Darlene shares what she and her team witnessed across the country: communities organizing, mutual-aid volunteers pivoting to meet urgent needs, families creating rapid-response communication networks, and leaders of small organizations adapting and strategizing for the future. This wasn't leadership from the podium. It was leadership from the sidewalk, school hallway, boardroom, and living room. Together, Glennda and Darlene talk about what broke, what held, and what grew stronger this year:  How democracy became a shared responsibility, not just a political concept What “leading from the inside out” looks like in high-pressure environments Why the long view and the short view have to coexist What nonprofit leaders need to prioritize amid uncertainty And through it all, one truth kept surfacing: leadership is no longer reserved for the chosen few. It is happening everywhere, often in people who never expected to step into the role. Whether you lead a nonprofit, neighborhood group, faith community, or simply your own family, this episode offers clarity on what your leadership means right now, and what it needs next. TUNE IN TO LEARN: How 2025 redefined who counts as a leader: This year showed us that leadership doesn't just come from titles or org charts – neighbors, parents, volunteers, and everyday people stepped in where systems fell short. Why democracy became a litmus test for leadership this year: In 2025, leaders weren't just asked to run programs. They were asked to choose whether to protect democratic values or remain silent as they eroded. How easy on-ramps – rather than professional gatekeeping – brought more people into meaningful action: Grassroots movements gained momentum because people could simply show up, proving accessibility is what fuels community power. What nonprofit leaders need to prioritize amid uncertainty: From pivoting quickly to listening deeply, this episode breaks down the practices that helped organizations stay grounded and effective. How leaders are thinking ahead while addressing immediate crises: Even while navigating fires, funding losses, and political turmoil, visionary leaders shifted into long-view strategy – imagining a future they may never personally see. KEY QUOTES: “I think this notion of leadership is this far-off behavior or category of people that's not us, totally is a thing, you know, and it's like – no, actually it is all of us.” - Darlene Nipper “I do think this moment is calling a lot of people into leadership in ways that are really motivating.” - Glennda Testone “So money should not be a problem. You know? That should not even be an issue. If we believe in the work, we need to give it away is such a level that people are just not even leaders are not even thinking about where the money is going to come from.” - Darlene Nipper “Listen to your constituents, your community, your people, and come out with what you know, because your role, your place, your space is very unique to you and the work that you're doing.” - Darlene Nipper ABOUT GUEST: With over 25 years of leadership and advocacy experience, Darlene Nipper joined Rockwood as a trainer in 2012 and now serves as CEO. Darlene's knowledge of the challenges facing leaders and the practices required for effective leadership is informed by her own background at a range of organizations. She has held key leadership roles in nonprofit and social justice organizations, as well as city government and foundations.  Darlene previously served as the executive director of the BET Foundation, and as the chief operating officer at National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), during which time she founded NAMI's Multicultural and International Policy Center. She is the former director of LGBT Affairs in the Executive Office of the Mayor of D.C., and the 2024-25 Visiting Senior Fellow for Movement Infrastructure and Explorations at the Freedom Together Foundation. A native Washingtonian, Darlene is an ordained interfaith minister, and practices mindfulness meditation, deep presence, and living joy.

Before the citations. Before the regulations. Before the arguments—there's people. In the first-ever Safe Word segment of Mining Minds, Grover sits down with longtime mentor, former MSHA inspector, and no-nonsense safety professional Jim Hoover to have the conversations most safety meetings never do. This episode strips away the myths, the fear, and the finger-pointing around mining safety and replaces them with something better: honesty, experience, and critical thinking. They break down what MSHA actually does (and doesn't do), why citations aren't cash grabs, and how perception, personality, and human judgment shape every inspection. From the difference between being compliant and being truly safe, to why asking why matters more than memorizing the 30 CFR, this episode is about understanding safety—not weaponizing it. You'll hear real stories from the pit and the inspector's side, hard lessons learned early in a career, and why building relationships—rather than hiding when inspectors show up—can make operations safer for everyone. Brass in—join the conversation and be a part of The Safe Word.   Chapters: 01:50 Why This Safety Conversation Started 02:41 Opinion, Experience, and Inviting Disagreement 07:52 Mining Safety Myths: Do Inspectors Get Paid for Citations? 10:55 The Human Element of Inspections 13:26 Understanding the 30 CFR and Asking "Why" 17:48 Real-World Example 22:34 Regional Differences and Interpretation of Standards 29:05 Inspectors as a Resource, Not the Enemy 35:32 Recognizing Good Work and Building Safety Culture

In this episode of the ASC Podcast with John Goehle we discuss the latest news, review common infection control and sanitary environment issues in ASCs and in our focus segment, discuss Navigating the Complexities of ASC Billing and Coding with Bob Lathrop from SIS.   This episode is sponsored by Surgical Information Systems,    Notes and Resources from this Episode: Cost pressures that battered ASCs in 2025: https://www.beckersasc.com/asc-transactions-and-valuation-issues/the-cost-pressures-that-battered-ascs-in-2025/?origin=ASCE&utm_source=ASCE&utm_medium=email&utm_content=newsletter&oly_enc_id=5567B4088734C3Z Focus on Sanitary Environment and Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) in ASC Surveys Sanitary environment and IPC issues consistently rank among the top deficiencies in ambulatory surgery center (ASC) accreditation and certification surveys, making this a critical "hot issue" for 2025 and beyond. These citations directly impact patient safety by increasing risks of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and they appear frequently across major accreditors like CMS, AAAHC, and ACHC. For context: In AAAHC's 2025 Quality Roadmap (released September 2025), IPC remains a persistent top challenge, with deficiencies cited in nearly 90% of surveys for ASCs and office-based surgery settings. ACHC's November 2025 survey data highlights sanitary environment lapses (e.g., sanitation issues, incomplete policies) as a leading deficiency, often tied to inconsistent implementation of hand hygiene, glove techniques, and environmental cleaning. Historical CMS data shows patterns holding into recent years, with "Sanitary Environment" and "Infection Control Program" among the most cited, stemming from failures in basic practices like cleaning, sterilization, and safe injection protocols. These issues often arise from documentation gaps, staff inconsistencies, or overlooked details during busy operations, even in high-performing centers. Key Regulatory Requirements The foundation for sanitary environment and IPC in ASCs is CMS Conditions for Coverage (CfC) at 42 CFR § 416.51, which applies to Medicare-certified ASCs and influences other accreditors (deemed status via AAAHC, ACHC, etc.). Standard: Sanitary Environment (§ 416.51(a)): The ASC must provide a functional and sanitary environment for surgical services, avoiding sources and transmission of infections by adhering to professionally accepted standards (e.g., CDC, AORN, APIC guidelines). Standard: Infection Control Program (§ 416.51(b)): Maintain an ongoing, coordinated program to prevent, control, and investigate infections/communicable diseases. This includes: Designation of a qualified professional (e.g., infection preventionist) to oversee the program. Annual risk assessment to identify infection risks. Integration of nationally recognized guidelines (CDC core practices are mandatory if no other evidence-based standards apply). Policies for hand hygiene, environmental cleaning, sterilization/high-level disinfection (HLD), safe injection practices, and point-of-care devices.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/NCUA has launched a new Deregulation and Simplification Project, signaling a shift toward clearer, more flexible rules—without weakening safety and soundness.In this episode of With Flying Colors, Mark Treichel breaks down the four proposed regulatory changes released by NCUA and explains what they mean in practice for credit unions, boards, and exam preparation.Rather than a wholesale rewrite, this package focuses on clarity, structure, and regulatory housekeeping—especially around audits, corporate credit union governance, and cybersecurity guidance.Key topics covered:Updates to Supervisory Committee audit rules (Part 715)Technical and governance clarifications for corporate credit unionsWhy cybersecurity guidance is moving out of regulation and into Letters to Credit UnionsWhat's not changing—despite the headlinesHow this project fits into broader NCUA budget and structural discussionsMark also shares perspective on why moving guidance out of the CFR matters—and what credit unions should (and shouldn't) do next.More regulatory developments are coming fast, including NCUA's upcoming board meeting and budget discussions. Stay tuned.

Andrew Robinson is not one of those writers. The transplanted New Englander has built a remarkably diverse career spanning children's books, time travel fantasy, screenplays, and television—with projects produced everywhere from Central Florida to Poland to Turkey.Andrew is currently focused on his time travel fantasy series that began with Worst Date, Greatest Adventure, published by Champagne Book Group. Similar to the popular Outlander series, the book and its sequel Worst Date, Greatest Challenge blend romance, history, and fantasy. He's now working on the third installment.Andrew's also making waves in the vampire genre with Vampire Academia—and he's quick to clarify it's nothing like Twilight. The book resonated enough that Champagne Book Group requested a sequel, proving there's appetite for fresh takes on supernatural themes.Beyond novels, Robinson's screenwriting credits span continents. His work has been produced by companies in the U.S., Poland, Iran, and Turkey. His rom-com A Vagabond's Chaotic Life and Cannabis Queen: The Elvy Musikka Story were both presented by All the Line Studio in Orlando.Andrew's dedication extends beyond his own writing. He now leads the Orlando/Maitland Chapter of the Florida Writers' Association, supporting other writers in their journeys. His focus on strong female protagonists comes from a personal place—his daughter inspires many of his determined heroines.To learn more about the topics discussed, or to contact Andrew directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur les moyens militaires européens face à la Russie, le redécoupage électoral au Texas et la question des avoirs russes gelés. Mali : une coalition clandestine peut-elle ébranler la junte ?   Exilé depuis 2023 en Algérie, l'imam Mahmoud Dicko a pris la tête d'une plateforme d'opposition clandestine. Décrite comme non violente, la Coalition des forces pour la République (CFR) est destinée à contester la junte malienne. Quelle est sa feuille de route ? L'imam Dicko est-il encore en capacité de mobiliser ? Comment peut-il piloter à distance ce nouveau mouvement ? Avec Serge Daniel, correspondant régional de RFI sur le Sahel.     Défense : en cas de guerre, l'Europe a-t-elle les moyens de se défendre face à la Russie ?   Dans un rapport publié par l'Institut français des relations internationales, les experts dressent un panorama des moyens militaires européens et russes. Il en ressort qu'en cas de confrontation, l'Europe bénéficie d'une nette supériorité dans les airs et sur les mers. Sur quels éléments s'appuie cette étude ? Si les pays européens ont vraiment un avantage militaire, pourquoi donc insistent-ils pour se réarmer ? Avec Franck Alexandre, journaliste spécialiste des questions de défense à RFI.     États-Unis : le redécoupage électoral permettra-t-il à Trump de remporter les élections de l'année prochaine ?  La Cour suprême des États-Unis a autorisé le Texas à reconfigurer la carte électorale. Cette manœuvre devrait permettre aux Républicains de reprendre cinq sièges aux Démocrates à la Chambre des représentants lors des élections de mi-mandat, en novembre 2026. Cette décision peut-elle influencer les résultats à l'échelle du pays ? D'autres États vont-ils, à leur tour, envisager un découpage électoral partisan ? Avec Ludivine Gilli, directrice de l'Observatoire de l'Amérique du Nord de la Fondation Jean Jaurès.     Guerre en Ukraine : pourquoi la France hésite à utiliser les avoirs russes gelés ?   On savait la Belgique opposée mais, selon une enquête du journal économique britannique Financial Times, la France est également réticente à utiliser les 18 milliards d'euros actifs russes gelés dans ses banques commerciales pour aider l'Ukraine. Comment expliquer cette hésitation ? Avec Ulrich Bounat, analyste géopolitique, chercheur-associé chez Euro Créative.

Dr. Yuan Li, Director of Medical Business at DQS and a former medical device auditor with deep expertise across orthopaedic manufacturing and regulatory systems.In this episode, we discuss the sweeping regulatory transition coming to the U.S. with the introduction of the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), which formally aligns 21 CFR Part 820 with ISO 13485. Yuan unpacks what this shift means for U.S.-based manufacturers, why FDA is phasing out the QSR audit model and why contract manufacturers and software-based device firms are particularly vulnerable if they delay planning.We also explore the growing use of AI in QMS platforms, the pitfalls of template-driven compliance, and why “regulatory fatigue” is no excuse when patients' lives are at stake. From post-market surveillance strategies to paperless QMS migrations and the validation grey zone, Yuan offers pragmatic, deeply informed advice for those navigating FDA audits, ISO certification and international expansionTimestamps[00:02:36] Why QMSR is a Big Deal for U.S. Manufacturers[00:04:09] Key Differences Between 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485[00:05:09] Why Companies Wait Too Long to Comply[00:07:19] Impact on Contract Manufacturers and Supply Chains[00:08:36] Do You Really Need ISO 13485 Certification?[00:10:18] AI-Generated QMS Systems: Useful or Risky?[00:11:52] Most Memorable Audit Story: Iterative Design Gone Wrong[00:14:46] How to Spot Proactive vs Reactive Post-Market Surveillance[00:17:03] Why Software Companies Struggle with The Regulatory Mindset[00:20:57] What Validation Really Means Under ISO 13485Connect with Yuan - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuan-li-phd-3bb14013/Learn more about DQS - ⁠https://www.dqsglobal.com/en/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast

La Coalition des forces pour la République – le CFR – avec à sa tête  l'Imam Mahmoud Dicko, ancien président du Haut Conseil islamique espère un retour à l'ordre constitutionnel.

Send us a textHeadlines say the VA system is broken and rife with abuse. Our conversation with Marine veteran Clayton Sims tells a different story—one grounded in lived experience, policy fluency, and a community-first approach to getting claims right without fear or costly consultants.Clayton shares how a rough transition and a hurried VSO visit pushed him to learn the language of 38 CFR and the evidence behind service connection. We unpack the realities of infantry life—miles in boots under load, daily wear that wrecks feet, ankles, and backs—and why conditions like flat feet and sleep apnea aren't punchlines, they're predictable outcomes. We also go deeper than combat. MST, toxic command climates, uneven medical boards, and administrative limbo can all drive mental health injuries that are real and compensable when documented properly.We cut through the noise about “rampant fraud” with data: far fewer veterans file than most assume, and only a portion reach 100 percent. The bigger problem is confusion. Clayton maps the routes that actually win—direct, secondary, aggravation, presumptive, MUCMI—and the kinds of evidence that matter: deployment health assessments, awards narratives, buddy statements, specialty opinions, and clear medical links. He explains how CivDiv helps veterans self-advocate or meet VSOs prepared, flipping the script on an industry that profits from complexity.If you've felt overwhelmed by forms and jargon, you'll walk away with a clearer path and a stronger mindset. And beyond claims, Clayton leaves a vital reminder: don't isolate. Find your circle—online, at a VFW, through church, or with a few trusted friends—because community can save time, money, and lives.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a veteran who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest question about VA claims.
