"There are a huge array of medical dynamics that people endure, and when they leave a lasting impact, a word that we don't use widely enough is the word 'trauma.' There's an entire category of phenomena in the medical arena that are, in fact, traumatic. One way we know that these experiences are traumatic is that we know that huge portions of people who experience things like cancer do indeed develop problems like [post-traumatic stress disorder]," James C. Jackson, PsyD, research professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about understanding medical trauma in oncology.

Highlights From This Episode "Many people have a notion about what medical trauma is, but perhaps they lack a definition. I use a definition that is deliberately broad because I think it is better to be inclusive than exclusive. A medical trauma to me is a medical experience or a medical encounter that basically leaves a mark. It leaves an emotional mark, and that mark is significant enough to disrupt your daily life." TS 2:06 "When somebody develops a life-threatening illness—let's say cancer—it's not their problem only. It's very much a family problem. It affects any manner of people. There is literature that says that family members of people with life-threatening conditions often have rates of PTSD that are every bit as high as the patients do. There's also literature that says that if we can identify this issue as a family problem—a family challenge, not just an individual challenge—then very often that patient is going to do better." TS 8:23 "We just need to make space for people to feel however they feel. And we need to emphasize, I think, that in some ways, even though there's no cancer on the scan, cancer casts a long shadow in the lives of people, which is why when patients after cancer see their primary care provider, when they come back for a checkup with oncology, we need to continue this conversation of 'How is your mental health? Are you okay? How's your anxiety? How are you managing?' … We need to be really curious and kind, and we need to query people about how they're doing, even if officially they don't have cancer." TS 16:20 "Trauma-informed care has become a bit of a buzzword in our culture. But when it is engaged correctly, I think it's really important. And I think in a nutshell, what it means is that as providers, we need to recognize that some situations and circumstances are likely to be traumatic, and we need to pivot and engage people differently now that we know that. Specific features of trauma-informed care might be we're really going to value your emotional safety. We're going to emphasize that. We are going to emphasize boundaries. We are going to ask your permission instead of telling you how to do things. We are going to be really attentive to the language we use to engage you because we're aware of there might be things about your situation that are really triggering." TS 28:15 "I think one [misconception] certainly is that it is only afflicting and affecting people who are frail or weak—not very strong. That's emphatically not true. But that's a popular misconception—that if I'm strong enough, if I'm resilient enough, this experience will not be traumatic to me. It's just not true. Medical trauma doesn't just happen in emotionally weak people. Medical trauma can impact people of all sorts." TS 33:42 "The other misconception, I think, is that there is no hope for people in the throes of medical trauma. I'm not advocating 'hopium,' It's a term that was coined, I think, during the pandemic. I don't think that living with medical trauma is all rainbows and unicorns and shiny things. But the truth is, if you get the treatment that you need, you can find a way to thrive with medical trauma even as you're impacted by medical trauma. This, this 'both-and-ness' is really true. You can both be adversely affected and you can even find some beauty in your struggle. Both can be true." TS 34:13 "I wish people understood that there is a name for this phenomenon. We're naming it here today medical trauma. Not everyone who has cancer has medical trauma—not even close—but there are many people who do. And I think many of those people, they don't quite have a name for it. And when I introduce this name for it—trauma—many of them say, 'Oh, my gosh, that makes so much sense. I didn't quite understand why I was struggling so much with this. I didn't quite understand why it casts such a long shadow in my life. I didn't really understand why I was having panic attacks every time I had to get another scan at the oncology office to see if my breast cancer had returned. Now I understand. Now I understand it's because it was trauma.'" TS 35:09

Alice Desbioles est médecin, je l'avais reçu en 2021 sur le sujet de l'anco-anxiété sur lequel elle a écrit un livre dans lequel elle documente, preuves scientifiques à l'appui, les effets de notre environnement sur notre santé physique et mentale.Je l'ai connu à travers ce livre et j'ai adoré cette conversation, pas sur les chiffres de la crise écologique comme la canicule que l'on traverse, mais sur ce qu'elle nous fait, à nous, en tant qu'êtres humains. Ce qu'elle révèle de nos contradictions. Et de notre incapacité collective à nous fixer des limites — alors que ces limites sont, littéralement, la condition de notre survie.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de l'effet rebond technologique (plus de routes, plus de voitures ; plus de 5G, plus de temps sur l'écran), du sens des limites en médecine, de la métaphore des 24 heures de la Terre, de la liberté mal posée comme argument, de l'éco-anxiété comme signe de solidité psychique, du stress aigu versus chronique, et de la manière de repeindre nos villes en vert plutôt que de les fuir. J'ai aussi questionné Alice sur ce que la science documente sur les effets des forêts sur la santé. La réponse est vertigineuse.CITATIONS MARQUANTES"On est aussi, finalement, des grands enfants. Et là, il n'y a plus personne pour nous fixer de limites. Mais pourtant, ces limites, elles sont indispensables à notre survie."— Alice Desbioles"Ô liberté, que de crimes on commet en ton nom."— Alice Desbioles"Le progrès, pour moi, c'est maximiser le bien-être. Et le bien-être, ce n'est pas que l'accumulation de technologies et de biens."— Alice Desbioles"L'éco-anxiété traduit déjà un certain courage, une certaine force de caractère, une certaine solidité qui nous permet d'avancer malgré toutes ces informations."— Alice Desbioles"Si on reprend à l'échelle des 24 heures, l'espace des 150 dernières années, c'est même pas un clignement d'œil. On a tout cramé, comme des ados."— Gregory PouyIDÉES CENTRALES (BIG IDEAS)1. L'effet rebond : la technologie ne résout jamais le problème qu'elle prétend résoudre (00:21)Plus tu rajoutes des routes, plus il y a de voitures. Plus la 5G est rapide, plus les gens passent de temps sur leur téléphone. L'innovation réplique la demande au lieu de la satisfaire. C'est une des lois les moins enseignées de notre rapport à la technique.2. Le sens des limites comme condition de survie collective (01:03)Alice le constate en réanimation : on va toujours plus loin, parfois contre la volonté des patients eux-mêmes. La même logique du "toujours plus" s'applique à la société entière. Les limites ne sont pas une contrainte : elles sont ce qui rend la vie possible. Les 9 limites planétaires existent pour cette raison.3. La métaphore des 24 heures : on a brûlé en un clin d'œil ce qui s'est construit en presque toute l'histoire de la Terre (02:53)Si l'existence de la planète = 24h, l'humain est arrivé à la dernière minute et demie. Les énergies fossiles se sont formées pendant les 23h58 où on n'était pas là. Et on les a consommées en quelques secondes à peine. Tout est là.4. La liberté comme argument mal posé (03:22)La liberté de rouler à 130 km/h sur autoroute opposée à la liberté d'un enfant de grandir sans asthme chronique. Ce n'est pas la même liberté. Et quand on ne le dit pas clairement, le débat est perdu d'avance.5. L'éco-anxiété comme signe de bonne santé mentale (07:26)C'est une question que je pose et qui mérite d'être posée : est-ce que ne pas être éco-anxieux en 2021, c'est pas un peu inquiétant ? Alice confirme : l'éco-anxiété traduit une solidité psychique, pas une fragilité. C'est le déni qui devrait inquiéter.6. Stress aigu vs. stress chronique : ce que le corps absorbe et ce qu'il ne peut pas absorber (08:20)Le stress aigu est physiologique, il sert à agir. Le stress chronique, lui, détruit. Et notre société — vitesse, notifications, bruit, pollution — est une machine à fabriquer du stress chronique.7. Repeindre les villes en vert plutôt que les fuir (12:51)La dichotomie ville-campagne est un faux débat. La vraie question, c'est comment faire entrer la nature dans les espaces urbains : cours d'école végétalisées, mobilités actives, espaces verts. L'OMS et la science le documentent. Les effets sont cardiaques, mentaux, immunitaires.QUESTIONS POSÉES DANS L'INTERVIEWEst-ce que l'innovation technologique résout vraiment les problèmes qu'elle prétend résoudre ?Comment as-tu constaté, en médecine, cette incapacité collective à se fixer des limites ?Qu'est-ce que les 9 limites planétaires nous disent de notre rapport au monde ?En quoi l'argument de la liberté est-il souvent mal posé dans les débats environnementaux ?Comment réinventer les récits collectifs pour donner envie de changer ?Est-ce que l'éco-anxiété n'est pas, finalement, un signe de bonne santé mentale ?Peux-tu nous expliquer comment fonctionne le stress, physiologiquement ?Quelle est la différence entre le stress et l'angoisse ?Est-ce que le meilleur acte écologique reste de vivre en ville ?Comment intégrer davantage de nature dans nos environnements urbains sans opposer ville et campagne ?RÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L'ÉPISODEConcepts scientifiques et institutionnelsLes 9 limites planétaires (cadre scientifique de Rockström et al.) — (01:40)Recommandations de l'OMS sur les espaces verts et la santé — (05:37)Revue scientifique sur les effets des forêts sur la santé physique et mentale (citée dans le livre d'Alice Desbioles) — (12:03)Politiques publiquesLa Convention citoyenne pour le climat (proposition de limitation de vitesse à 110 km/h sur autoroute) — (03:22)Condamnations de la France par la Commission européenne pour non-respect des seuils de pollution de l'air — (04:33)Références culturelles et linguistiquesÉtymologie de "écologie" (discours sur la maison) et "économie" (gestion de la maison) — (02:11)Citation "Ô liberté, que de crimes on commet en ton nom" — (03:22)Les écoles en forêt en Allemagne et dans les pays scandinaves — (13:33)LivreLe livre d'Alice Desbioles (non titré dans cet extrait, mais mentionné avec bibliographie) — (12:03)À venir dans l'émissionMention d'un futur épisode avec un expert du low-tech — (06:12)TIMESTAMPS CLÉS (OPTIMISÉS YOUTUBE)00:00 – Introduction du "moment" Greg présente le format : un extrait d'épisode qui a marqué les esprits. 00:21 – L'effet rebond : pourquoi la tech ne résout pas ce qu'elle promet Plus de routes = plus de voitures. Plus de 5G = plus de temps sur l'écran. L'innovation amplifie la demande au lieu de la satisfaire. 01:03 – Alice : le sens des limites, ce que la réanimation nous apprend Témoignage fort : une patiente âgée réanimée contre sa volonté fait scandale auprès du médecin. Jusqu'où va-t-on ? Les 9 limites planétaires posent la même question. 02:11 – Écologie, économie : retour à la racine des mots L'écologie, c'est le "discours sur la maison". L'économie, c'est la "gestion de la maison". Et la maison est mal gérée. 02:53 – La métaphore des 24h : on a tout brûlé en un clignement d'œil Si la vie de la Terre = 24h, l'humain arrive à 1 minute 30. Les fossiles se sont formés pendant les 23h58 où on était absents. On les a consommés en quelques secondes. 03:22 – Liberté vs. limites : le débat mal posé La liberté de rouler à 130 km/h contre la liberté d'un enfant de grandir sans asthme. Ce ne sont pas les mêmes libertés. 05:37 – Redéfinir le progrès : pas plus vite, mais mieux vivre Le vrai progrès, c'est maximiser le bien-être — espaces verts, mobilités actives, contact avec la nature. L'OMS le documente. 07:26 – L'éco-anxiété, signe de bonne santé mentale ? Être éco-anxieux en 2021, c'est regarder la réalité en face. C'est le déni qui devrait inquiéter. 08:20 – Stress aigu vs. stress chronique : ce que le corps supporte ou pas Explication claire et pédagogique : le stress aigu est physiologique et bénéfique. Le stress chronique, lui, détruit — sommeil, digestion, santé cardiovasculaire. 09:56 – Stress vs. angoisse : quelle différence ? Le stress a une cause identifiable. L'angoisse est diffuse, globale, sans objet clair. C'est souvent ça qui la rend plus difficile à traverser. 12:03 – La science des forêts : effets cardiaques, immunitaires, mentaux Des études documentent les effets positifs de la nature sur la santé. Ce n'est pas une intuition — c'est de la recherche. 12:51 – Repeindre les villes en vert plutôt que les fuir La vraie question n'est pas ville vs. campagne. C'est comment faire entrer la nature là où vivent les gens.

Recovering the Original Understanding of Unalienable Rights. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz reflects on the 2019 Commission on Unalienable Rights, which sought to ground human rights in the American founding tradition. The commission aimed to counter the "proliferating industry" of rights that often serves partisan progressive ends, emphasizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' original austere framework. 131936

SCHEDULE JBS, 6-23-2026.1936Alan Greenspan's Legacy and the New Fed Chair. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. This segment reflects on the passing of Alan Greenspan and the transition to Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair. Peek highlights Warsh's goal to reform data collection and move away from forecasting, favoring real-time data over the traditional, often confusing, communication styles of his predecessors like Greenspan. 1The Resilient US Consumer and AI Infrastructure. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. Despite concerns over tariffs and wars, consumer spending remains robust, fueled by record stock market levels and rising low-end wages. Peek argues against AI alarmism, noting that massive investments in AI infrastructure are creating a surge in blue-collar job demand for skilled trades like welding and construction. 2Critiquing the Memo of Understanding with Iran. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Schanzer describes the newly established Memo of Understanding as a "dog's breakfast" that grants the Iranian regime significant sanctions relief and upfront cash. He argues the agreement appears to be an American defeat, particularly regarding the shaky nuclear inspection protocols and the uncertain status of the Strait of Hormuz. 3Hezbollah's Role and the Fog of Middle East Diplomacy. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. The discussion focuses on Hezbollah as a "wholly owned subsidiary" of Iran, with the IRGC directing its activities in Lebanon. Schanzer criticizes the administration for expecting Israel to adhere to a ceasefire while Iran continues to provoke attacks, labeling the current diplomatic strategy as improvised and potentially harmful. 4Secretary Rubio's Reassurance Mission to Gulf Allies. Guest: Mary Kissel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio travels to the Gulf to reassure the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain of U.S. security commitments following Iranian attacks. Kissel criticizes the administration for granting Iran sanctions relief and 60-day exemptions, arguing that the diplomatic effort prioritizes "hope over experience" regarding Iranian nuclear ambitions. 5The Impact of Foreign Policy on Domestic Midterms. Guest: Mary Kissel. Kissel examines whether foreign policy influences American voters, noting it is rare compared to "pocketbook" issues like inflation and interest rates. She warns that adversarial regimes like Iran and China are sophisticated observers of the U.S. electoral calendar and may attempt to influence domestic politics. 6Kevin Warsh's Reformist Vision for the Federal Reserve. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg analyzes Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting, noting a shift toward shorter policy statements and the removal of the "dot plot" forecasting tool. Warsh is initiating five task forces to reform the Fed's intellectual framework, specifically targeting productivity, data quality, and balance sheet management. 7The Turmoil of British Leadership and the Labour Party. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. This segment explores the potential replacement of Keir Starmer with Andy Burnham as UK Prime Minister. Sternberg argues that Labour's struggles go beyond charisma, involving a lack of clear economic direction and the failure to address core voter concerns like the broken NHS and illegal immigration. 8The Geopolitical Chessboard of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley discusses the power struggles within Iran and the strategic card of the Strait of Hormuz. He notes that while the strait is "more or less open," the situation remains in flux, with regional players like Turkey seeking to thwart Iranian ambitions in the Mediterranean. 9Xi Jinping's Strategic Outreach to North Korea. Guest: Gregory Copley. Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang is seen as a move to reassert Chinese influence over North Korea as Kim Jong-un shifts away from communist identity. Kim is positioning himself as an equal to Xi while strengthening his ties with Russia, creating a complex ideological shift in the region. 10British Political Fragmentation and the Immigration Crisis. Guest: Gregory Copley. Britain has seen seven prime ministers in ten years due to political fragmentation over illegal immigration and European relations. Copley suggests that the Labour Party is failing to represent the British working class, which favors traditional values and stricter border controls, leading to a rise in alternative parties. 11The Crown as a Symbol of British Identity. Guest: Gregory Copley. Amidst political instability, King Charles III is viewed as a dynamic symbol of national dignity and continuity. The segment discusses the King's role in stabilizing the United Kingdom following Prime Minister Starmer's resignation and managing sensitive royal family matters to preserve the image of the monarchy. 12Recovering the Original Understanding of Unalienable Rights. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz reflects on the 2019 Commission on Unalienable Rights, which sought to ground human rights in the American founding tradition. The commission aimed to counter the "proliferating industry" of rights that often serves partisan progressive ends, emphasizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' original austere framework. 13Unalienable Rights and the Challenge of Foreign Policy. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. This segment discusses applying founding principles to modern diplomacy, specifically condemning the Chinese Communist Party's crimes against the Uyghurs. Berkowitz argues that despite economic entanglements, the United States must maintain its dedication to universal principles and use its diplomatic toolbox to address massive human rights violations. 14The Strategic Failure of the Iran Memo of Understanding. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter analyzes the Memo of Understanding, highlighting unresolved issues like the Strait of Hormuz and the $80 billion war funding request. He argues the administration is trying to make kinetic action palatable to voters while failing to secure meaningful concessions on Iran's nuclear program or its sponsorship of terrorism. 15The Republican Fissures and Potential Third-Party Movements. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. The discussion centers on Tucker Carlson's potential departure from the Republican Party over foreign policy disagreements. McCotter suggests this reflects deeper fault lines within the MAGA base, where isolationist tendencies and dissatisfaction with the administration's relationship with allies like Israel could lead to future political discord. 16

A new report claims that real estate agents only outperform AI on a handful of tasks during a home sale and that many commissions are overpriced. The problem isn't whether the report is right. The problem is that your next seller may have already read it. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris break down the most talked-about AI report in real estate and explain why agents should not panic. You'll learn why technology often increases demand for professionals, how to handle seller objections about AI and commissions, and why consumers still need human expertise when making major financial decisions. You'll discover how to position AI as a tool that improves your service, why focusing on outcomes matters more than focusing on tasks, and how top-performing agents can use this moment to strengthen their value proposition. If you're concerned about AI, listing presentations, seller objections, or the future of your real estate career, this episode will give you a practical framework you can immediately apply.

It's Wednesday, June 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Attacks on French Christians up by 70 percent Attacks on Christians in France surged over 70 percent last year. The data comes from a recent report by the government.  General anti-religious attacks more than doubled since 2010. Anti-Christian violence followed the trend, nearly doubling over the same period. The European Center for Law & Justice notes that the actual number of anti-Christian acts may be two to three times higher than the official figures. The group also reported that France lacks any dedicated institutional framework to combat anti-Christian hatred. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned The United Kingdom's head of government announced his resignation on June 22nd. The country is set to have its sixth prime minister in just seven years. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepped down after his Labor Party experienced major election losses in May.  STARMER: “The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party, and I accept that answer with good grace. Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first. “That is why I will resign as leader of the Labor Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King [Charles III] this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labor Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the ninth of July.” Keir Starmer, an avowed atheist, was known for his support for abortion and assisted suicide.  Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” British study: Marriage brings more stability New research from the United Kingdom confirms that marriage is a major factor in relationship stability.  The report from the Marriage Foundation found that unmarried couples were nearly twice as likely to separate as married couples. Dr. Harry Benson is the Research Director at the Marriage Foundation. He noted, “This groundbreaking study categorically demonstrates the benefits of marrying, and blows apart decades of government policy that has consistently downgraded marriage to just another form of relationship like cohabitating.” Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” U.S. abortions down slightly In the United States, the reported number of babies murdered in the womb decreased slightly last year. The Society of Family Planning, a pro-abortion group, estimates there were 1.13 million abortions in 2025. That's down from 1.14 million in 2024. The data shows in-person abortions are decreasing while so-called “telehealth” abortions are increasing. Nearly a third of abortions are now done outside of physical locations by swallowing the Abortion Kill Pill which mothers order by mail. Texas judge allowed recusal from officiating homosexual faux weddings A Texas judge won her religious freedom case last week against the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. The Commission had issued Judge Dianne Hensley a public warning, sanctioning her for Christian beliefs. She had simply recused herself from performing weddings for couples living in unnatural relations.  The recent settlement awarded Hensley $10,000 and required the Commission to pay her attorney's fees of $630,000.  Economist Alan Greenspan died at 100 Economist Alan Greenspan died at the age of 100 on Monday from complications of Parkinson's Disease. He served as the chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. He has been credited as the orchestrator of U.S. economic growth in the 1990s. However, his easy-money policies were also blamed for the 2008 financial crisis.  Greenspan was often known as the second most powerful person in the country after the president.  47 percent of Protestant pastors oppose celebrating America's 250th birthday A new survey from Lifeway Research asked pastors about celebrating America's 250th birthday.  Fifty-percent of U.S. Protestant pastors agree that their church should do something special to commemorate the event. Forty-seven percent disagree.  Also, 45 percent of pastors support patriotic elements in worship services during the week of July Fourth. That's down from 61 percent in 2016. Meanwhile, 30 percent of pastors say their congregation's love for America sometimes seems great than their love for God. That's down from 53 percent.   U.S. soccer players glorify God And finally, the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team is advancing in the World Cup. The team has achieved back-to-back victories for the first time since 1930. Members of the team are also making headlines for their faith in Jesus Christ.  Last week, star player Christian Pulisic posted a picture of teammates praying on the field after their game against Australia. One of his teammates, Mark Mackenzie, commented on the photo with a reference to Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. The passage says, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” Listen to Mackenzie comment on his faith in Christ. MACKENZIE: “The salvation that I have is nothing that I earned; it's a gift. There's nothing else to it. Every day that goes by is a day where I have to look up and say, ‘Thank you, Lord, for seeing me through this.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, June 24th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Bishop Robert Barron has long defended religious freedom as a universal human right. As part of his ongoing advocacy—which includes a new book on how to confront persecution against Christians—he has recently completed serving on a presidential religious liberty commission charged with ensuring that people of all faiths can participate fully in society without fear of violence or unjust discrimination. One of the few Catholic ecclesial voices on the commission, his work addressed multiple abiding and practical questions. For example, at the conceptual level, what is religious freedom, and what role should the government play in protecting it? How can we define religious freedom in a way that prevents one religion's exercise of their freedom from infringing upon the freedom of other religions, or on those who claim no religion at all?

Send us Fan MailIn this Episode, Pastor Dom challenges us to live like Jesus!Ephesians 6:1717 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;Colossians 3:12-1712 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, Do not lie to one another, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.Ephesians 5:1-21 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.Psalm 103:2-32 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,1 Peter 2:2424 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.1 Corinthians 11:23-2523 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 19 juin 2026.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.MARC BLOCHC'est en 2006, il y a donc 20 ans qu'une tribune d'historiens publiée par Le Figaro réclama l'entrée au panthéon de Marc Bloch. Elle aura donc lieu avec son épouse, Simonne Vidal, 20 ans plus tard. On peut regretter cette attente. Etienne Bloch fils aîné Marc et son interlocuteur privilégié, lui-même résistant à Lyon avant de s'engager dans les FFI puis de rejoindre la 2ème Division Blindée était encore de ce monde qu'il n'a quitté que trois ans plus tard.Résistant, historien, rationaliste républicain, critique des mythologies nationales et profondément patriote : Marc Bloch échappe aux catégories trop simples. Grand médiéviste, auteur des Rois thaumaturges (1924), des Caractères originaux de l'histoire rurale (1931), de La Société féodale (1939) et aussi d'une réflexion posthume sur son « métier d'historien », Apologie pour l'histoire, Marc Bloch a ouvert l'histoire aux apports de la sociologie et de l'ethnologie dans une démarche interdisciplinaire novatrice. En 1920, il noue amitié avec son collègue historien Lucien Febvre. Leur complicité intellectuelle les conduit à fonder ensemble les Annales d'histoire économique et sociale, dont le premier numéro paraît en janvier 1929. La revue exercera une influence considérable sur plusieurs générations d'historiens.Républicain convaincu il partageait les idéaux socialistes : il adhéra à la SFIO, sans pour autant se signaler ni par son militantisme ni par ses prises de position publiques. En 1934, il signe avec Lucien Febvre le manifeste du Comité de vigilance des intellectuels antifascistes, mais juge le texte indigent. En 1936, il soutient le Front populaire contre la bourgeoisie d'argent, mais critique Blum et les syndicats, et n'aime pas les communistes. Homme d'action et de responsabilité, Marc Bloch s'est battu en 1914 et s'est réengagé en 1939. En 1940, à chaud, il écrit Témoignage, qui deviendra L'Étrange Défaite. Une analyse au scalpel du désastre de 1940 où il montre que le pays a été battu parce qu'il s'était déjà défait à l'intérieur. L'ouvrage paraîtra à titre posthume en 1946. Ce « procès-verbal » implacable se décompose en trois chapitres : « Présentation du témoin », « La déposition d'un vaincu » et « Examen de conscience d'un Français ». Dans cet ouvrage, l'historien de 53 ans ausculte la société de l'entre-deux-guerres, sa course vers l'abîme, et en appelle à une responsabilité autant individuelle que collective. Il y fustige des stratèges dépassés qui, comme en 1914, lorsqu'ils se référaient aux guerres napoléoniennes, n'ont rien compris à la guerre de mouvement en 1939. Il assemble les pièces d'un puzzle, en historien du contemporain, et procède à la mise en perspective des événements. Pointant notamment la bureaucratie, il n'épargnait personne, ni l'armée, ni les civils, ni la droite, ni la gauche, ni la bourgeoisie, ni ses contempteurs marxistes : « Les défaillances du syndicalisme ouvrier n'ont pas été, dans cette guerre-ci, plus niables que celles des états-majors », affirmait-il, déplorant le fait qu'« on n'a pas assez travaillé, dans les fabrications de guerre ». Il relevait aussi les failles de l'éducation, de l'instruction, de l'esprit de curiosité en général.Après avoir écrit L'Étrange Défaite, persécuté parce que juif, insoumis parce que patriote, le vieux Sorbonnard est entré en 1943 dans la Résistance. Arrêté en mars 1944 par la Gestapo, torturé à la prison Montluc à Lyon, il a été fusillé le 16 juin 1944, à l'âge de 57 ans.LA RÉPUBLIQUEAlors qu'il était entré dans la clandestinité en 1943, Marc Bloch écrivit dans « Pourquoi je suis républicain » : « La République est le régime du peuple ». Cette forme de gouvernement conçu dans l'antiquité connait des interprétations variées. Alors qu'il était admis jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle que la République puisse être aussi bien monarchique, aristocratique ou démocratique, pourvu que soit pris en compte le bien commun, la vision française après Rousseau considère qu'une République bien comprise ne peut être qu'une démocratie. C'est ce que deux historiens du droit, Jacques de Saint-Victor, et Thomas Branthôme, dans leur Histoire de la République en France nomment l'« exclusivisme républicain » français. Les auteurs observent qu'à rebours de ce projet, on voit, depuis quelques années, sous l'influence du modèle anglo-saxon, s'installer des conceptions communautaristes de la démocratie. Dans cette évolution, l'idée laïque, par exemple, qui marque si profondément la tradition républicaine française, est subvertie. Il ne s'agit plus, selon eux, de protéger l'État contre les religions mais, à l'inverse de protéger les religions contre l'État.Formalisée en 1790, la devise de la République française « Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité » évolua également. Le ternaire s'effaça sous le Consulat et le Premier Empire, dont la devise officielle fut « Liberté, Ordre public ». Le maréchal de Mac‑Mahon, en 1879, instaura brièvement l'« Ordre moral ». En 1940, Philippe Pétain lui substitua la devise « Travail, Famille, Patrie ». Si 83 % des Français, en 2023 se déclarèrent attachés à la devise, 54 % d'entre eux donnaient la priorité à la Liberté, devant l'Égalité (29 %) et la Fraternité (17 %). Mais nombre d'entre eux jugèrent sa mise en œuvre défaillante : la Liberté n'existerait pleinement que pour 54 % d'entre eux, la Fraternité pour 35 % et l'Égalité pour 31 %.Tandis que, depuis le 16 juin, le projet de loi constitutionnelle pour une Corse autonome est examiné à l'Assemblée, le juriste Benjamin Morel et le politologue Patrick Weil demandent à ce qu'il soit retiré au nom des valeurs historiques de la France. Ce projet de loi propose de reconnaître des droits particuliers en raison d'une « communauté historique, linguistique, culturelle, ayant développé un lien singulier à sa terre ». Il crée ainsi, font valoir le juriste et le politologue une hiérarchie entre Français : ceux qui se rattacheront à une communauté corse reconnue, privilégiée, et les autres. Ce serait en rupture radicale et fondamentale avec « les grands principes universalistes qui fondent la République, tout particulièrement le principe d'égalité de tous les citoyens devant la loi sans distinction d'origine, de race ou de religion énoncé à l'article Ier de la Constitution ». Hiérarchiser les citoyens au regard d'une appartenance culturelle et y attacher des droits différenciés, c'est la définition juridique du racisme, font-ils valoir. La République encore et toujours à l'épreuve de l'histoire.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Can a past marked by failure, regret, or even opposition to God be redeemed for His purposes? The story of Saul answers with a resounding yes. After his dramatic encounter with Jesus on the Damascus Road, Saul discovers that salvation is not the finish line. It's the starting line. God didn't simply save him from something. God saved him for something. In this powerful message from Acts 9:19-31, we'll explore the unmistakable marks of a changed life and discover how God transforms ordinary people into instruments of extraordinary purpose. You'll see how a new faith produces a new message, how God's calling often attracts resistance, and why none of us are meant to walk our spiritual journey alone. Whether you're questioning your purpose, struggling to overcome your past, or wondering how God can use your life, this message offers hope, encouragement, and direction. The same grace that transformed Saul is still transforming lives today!

Troisième et dernier épisode de notre série autour du parc de la Comoé, dans le nord de la Côte d'Ivoire. Avec cette question : les activités économiques des communautés locales sont-elles assez conséquentes pour leur éviter de basculer dans des activités illicites ? De notre correspondante de retour de Doropo, Ama Ouattara est pêcheur. Depuis la reprise en main du parc de la Comoé, ce vieil homme mène ses activités dans un barrage. Problème : sur ce nouveau site, les frais pour pêcher sont élevés. Et surtout, les ressources halieutiques sont moins abondantes : « Ici, il n'y a pas de poisson. Si ce n'est pas de la carpe, il n'y a aucun autre poisson ici. Alors que dans la zone du parc, il y a beaucoup de poissons dedans. » Selon les données de la Banque mondiale, le Bounkani est l'une des régions les plus vulnérables de la Côte d'Ivoire, avec un taux de chômage qui dépasse les 40% chez les jeunes. Ces derniers délaissent l'agriculture, jugée trop pénible et peu rentable, au profit d'activités plus lucratives à l'image de l'orpaillage. Car dans leur esprit, la réussite sociale suit des critères bien visibles. Comme l'explique Mamadi Sidibé, le président du Conseil national des jeunes de Doropo : « Quand on dit que quelqu'un a réussi, c'est à travers une maison pour lui-même, et ensuite, on voit prospérer ses activités à travers un magasin et à travers le fait d'avoir une moto ou une voiture. » À lire aussiCôte d'Ivoire: le parc national de la Comoé préservé grâce à des méthodes modernes de surveillance [1/3] Les jeunes se tournent vers l'orpaillage Un gisement aurifère de plus de 100 tonnes a récemment été découvert : il sera exploité par une société étrangère. Dans cette zone, l'or suscite à la fois espoir et frustration de la part des jeunes. Pour la plupart, ils se replient sur des entreprises locales, récemment reconnues par l'État. La question de l'orpaillage est un sujet tabou : peu de jeunes osent l'évoquer ouvertement. Mamadi Sidibé, se présente comme un menuisier : « Actuellement dans la région, il y a 15 personnes qui sont légalement constituées en ce qui concerne l'orpaillage. Je suis menuisier de fonction. Quand quelqu'un va sur le site, qu'il gagne de l'argent, c'est moi qui fait la charpenterie, donc de façon indirecte, je participe aussi. » Ces activités suffisent-elles à satisfaire les besoins de ces habitants ? Pour détecter assez tôt de potentiels risques, plusieurs organisations planchent sur un indice pour mesurer le degré de fragilité économique et sociale de ces populations. Le docteur Nourredine Oréyolé, coordinateur technique de la Commission nationale des frontières, explique : « L'indice, c'est surtout la fragilité économique, sociale – les problèmes de cohésion sociales – mais aussi la fragilité sécuritaire. Avec les collectes de données que nous avons, on peut savoir, à un instant T, si cette communauté locale est vraiment résiliente ou pas. C'est un outil de décision, qui permet de lutter contre l'extrémisme. » Parmi les questions les plus sensibles, figurent la gestion des conflits entre éleveurs et agriculteurs, ou encore la criminalité transfrontalière.

"We typically think of the disease progressing for our higher-risk patients because many of them already start with increased blasts or a lot of dysplasia. And they have these chromosomal variants that make them prone to evolving into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). With them, we can anticipate that they are going to progress to AML. And that's what we're trying to prevent. It's kind of like a biologic evolution and not a switch," ONS member Sara Tinsley-Vance, PhD, APRN, AOCN®, nurse practitioner and quality-of-life researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about long-term myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) considerations for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "When our higher-risk patients have disease-related progression, their [malignancy] can transform to AML. And we know this occurs in about one-third of our patients and is one of the most serious late effects. Even in lower-risk disease, we have this worsening marrow failure with or without increasing blast, where [patients] may have just started out with anemia, then they also develop neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. And as those counts worsen, we usually know that their disease is progressing." TS 2:47 "The golden rule is looking at the blood count but also looking at the patient and how they're doing over time. The backbone of MDS monitoring is the complete blood cell count with the differential. What you're looking for is trends over time. How many units of blood are they receiving, what threshold are you going to transfuse them at, and how many units of blood are they getting at a time? ... And then paying attention to the absolute neutrophil count for infection risk. [Another] really important piece of when you look at the differential with patients is seeing if they have any abnormal cell counts. Do they have circulating blasts? Are those monocytes going up? If you start to see blasts circulating or increasing monocytes, then their disease could be changing, even if they have low-risk disease." TS 15:58 "For lower-risk disease, we're paying more attention to their quality of life, how the patient's tolerating therapy, trying to help them stay safe over the long haul, and starting them on iron chelation if it matches that patient and they can have access to those drugs. ... For higher-risk disease, if the patient's goal is to be cured and not to progress to AML, you want to get them to transplant if that's [also] one of their goals. If they do evolve into AML, try and see what treatment matches best for them." TS 22:28 "You want to start early for patients who have febrile neutropenia—that's really important when a patient is an hour or two away from a center where they can get started on antibiotics. So, you have to think outside the box. What can we do to keep them safe? ... I know this group in Alaska that's in our advisory meetings and they try to facilitate transportation to Seattle. That's the closest academic center to them. Collaborating with telemedicine appointments, starting earlier, developing that strong relationship with patients, and contacting them between visits [can help patients living in rural areas]." TS 25:22 "I think the biggest [psychosocial challenge] I see is a lot of unmet anxiety and depression counseling. A lot of times, [patients are] losing their place in their family because they're the ones that need all the help now. Also, the uncertainty that goes along with the diagnosis. There is communication skills counseling, and End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) has a lot of training for communication skills and how to really talk to patients. Not that we take the place of a psychologist, but just being able to talk to somebody can go a long way. And if we can get training for that, we can help more patients." TS 31:15

Les restrictions de visas pour les supporters de football ivoiriens et africains qui veulent aller aux États-Unis sont « regrettables », a déclaré Mamadou Touré, le ministre porte-parole adjoint du gouvernement de Côte d'Ivoire sur RFI. Le ministre, qui est aussi en charge de la Promotion de la jeunesse, de l'Insertion professionnelle et du Service civique, s'exprime également sur le calendrier de la mise en place d'une nouvelle commission électorale, après la dissolution de la précédente le mois dernier. RFI : Vous êtes à Paris pour participer au salon Vivatech. Quelles sont les ambitions numériques de la Côte d'Ivoire ? Mamadou Touré : La Côte d'Ivoire entend être un hub numérique dans la sous-région ouest africaine. La Côte d'Ivoire compte se positionner au niveau africain, au niveau donc du numérique. D'ailleurs, Vivatech nous offre l'opportunité de mettre en évidence tous ces talents jeunes puisque nous avons avec nous à ce salon une trentaine de jeunes start-up PME qui viennent à la conquête du monde et qui apportent des solutions très concrètes dans différents domaines, que ce soit l'agriculture, le climat ou la Fintech. Il y a quelques jours, le ministre ivoirien de la Défense, Téné Birahima Ouattara, qui est vice Premier ministre, qui est aussi le frère du chef de l'Etat, a déclaré que la Côte d'Ivoire était prête à reprendre une coopération sécuritaire avec ses voisins du Sahel, notamment le Burkina Faso. Est-ce à dire que des opérations communes entre Ivoiriens et Burkinabés pourraient reprendre contre les groupes jihadistes ? La Côte d'Ivoire a toujours été dans cette posture. C'est ce que le vice Premier ministre a voulu rappeler. Rappelez-vous que, par le passé, nous avons eu d'excellentes relations avec ce pays dans le cadre de la coopération militaire et dans le cadre de la lutte contre le terrorisme. Malheureusement, ces relations se sont estompées, pas du fait de la Côte d'Ivoire. Et donc, ce que le vice Premier ministre exprime, c'est cette prédisposition permanente de la Côte d'Ivoire à œuvrer dans le sens d'un dialogue qui aurait pour effet de mutualiser les efforts en vue de traiter ce problème qui est un problème sérieux pour toute la sous-région. Le mois dernier, le gouvernement ivoirien a annoncé la dissolution de la CEI, la Commission électorale indépendante, qui est très décriée par l'opposition. À quoi ressemblera la nouvelle structure électorale ? Vous savez que, depuis plusieurs années, nous avons eu une commission électorale indépendante qui a été modifiée plusieurs fois et qui, en dépit donc de ces améliorations, n'a pas réussi à rassurer tous les acteurs en dépit de toutes les avancées obtenues. En dépit de cela, il y a une crise de confiance des acteurs. Tirant donc conséquence de cela, le gouvernement a décidé donc de dissoudre la commission électorale indépendante et va proposer une nouvelle architecture dans le but de mieux rassurer donc les différents acteurs. Alors pour cette nouvelle architecture, d'après certaines informations, le modèle sénégalais pourrait servir de base, à savoir une double structure où l'organisation matérielle des élections serait confiée à l'administration publique et le contrôle à une autorité indépendante composée de magistrats et de hauts fonctionnaires à la retraite ? Alors tout ce qui s'est dit aujourd'hui est de la spéculation et c'est normal. Mais il faut attendre quelques jours que le gouvernement propose officiellement l'ossature. Mais cette double structure, c'est une piste ? Écoutez, dans quelques jours, vous aurez l'architecture proposée par le gouvernement. Ce n'est pas impossible ? Attendez quelques jours. Les principaux partis d'opposition, notamment le PDCI, se félicitent de la disparition de la CEI, mais demandent une table ronde avec le pouvoir avant d'examiner une proposition à l'Assemblée nationale ? Écoutez, nous considérons que la Côte d'Ivoire n'est pas un Etat failli. La Côte d'Ivoire est un Etat avec des institutions depuis plusieurs années qui fonctionnent normalement. Et tout ce processus se fera donc dans le cadre normal du fonctionnement normal de l'Etat et de ses institutions. Pour le calendrier, donc, c'est le gouvernement qui l'annoncera. Mais quelle que soit la proposition du gouvernement, elle passera devant l'Assemblée nationale, elle sera discutée par les députés, l'opposition y est représentée. Donc dans le cadre du fonctionnement normal des institutions, la réforme se fera. Et quand est-ce que ça passera devant l'Assemblée nationale ? Mais il faut attendre déjà que la proposition soit adoptée par le gouvernement. En Conseil des ministres… Analysée en conseil de gouvernement et adoptée en Conseil des ministres, avant donc de passer à l'Assemblée nationale. Mais tout ce calendrier sera clairement défini et public au moment opportun. D'ici la fin du mois de juillet ? Je ne peux rien vous dire là-dessus. Mais pas de table ronde avant l'examen d'une proposition du gouvernement ? Je ne sais pas quelle sera la méthodologie choisie par le Premier ministre, qui est en charge d'initier la proposition au gouvernement et il revient au Premier ministre de définir l'approche. Mais ce que je dis, c'est que, quelle que soit l'architecture qui sera arrêtée, nous avons un pays qui fonctionne normalement, des institutions qui fonctionnent normalement, et différentes lois comme ça l'est pour des lois qui ont été déjà adoptées, donc, il y a un processus qui est défini, et je pense que ce processus sera respecté. Au Mondial de football, la Côte d'Ivoire a battu l'Équateur 1-0 lundi dernier. Félicitations ! Mais que pensez-vous du refus des Américains de laisser rentrer les supporteurs des Eléphants ? Il est clair que de milliers de supporters, qu'ils soient Ivoiriens ou Africains, auraient voulu partir aux Etats-Unis pour accompagner nos équipes africaines. Malheureusement, du fait des restrictions des visas, ces supporters ne peuvent pas y aller. Et on peut comprendre donc la douleur, la tristesse de ces supporters qui n'arrivent pas à y aller du fait donc de mesures administratives au niveau du gouvernement américain. Donc, on ne peut que regretter, cela est regrettable. Est-ce que cette politique de restriction des visas, vous la jugez discriminatoire à l'égard de certains pays ? Je ne ferai pas de commentaire.

06/18/26 Historic Resources Commission by City of Lawrence

Patrick Gaspard has worn an array of political hats — from U.S. Ambassador to South Africa to President Barack Obama's political director to special assistant to New York City Mayor David Dinkins. An adviser to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Gaspard was recently appointed the chairman of the Mamdani administration's Commission on Government Efficiency, also known as COGE, which began holding public hearings across the five boroughs last week. The newly formed Charter Revision Commission is made up of more than a dozen close allies of Mamdani. Gaspard joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the commission, but their conversation also covered national politics, including why Gaspard expects Democrats to have a strong showing in the midterm elections this fall. He also argued that Democrats must launch an affirmative economic agenda and address perceived weaknesses on inflation, immigration and foreign policy.

The massive data centers that AI needs require huge amounts of electricity and water. And they're popping up all over the state. Those data centers are likely to impact the electrical grid, electricity prices and the state's water infrastructure and supplies. Assemblymembers Rick Chavez-Zbur and Diane Papan are working to prevent those impacts from hurting Californians.     AB 2383 Ensures Large Energy Users Pay Their Fair Share and Strengthens Grid Reliability SACRAMENTO, CA - Democratic Caucus Chair and Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur's (D-Hollywood) AB 2383, legislation protecting California ratepayers from bearing the rising energy costs associated with large energy use facilities such as data centers, has passed the California State Assembly with bipartisan support and now heads to the Senate. Strongly supported by the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) and the Little Hoover Commission, this bill requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to establish a new electricity customer classification for large energy users to ensure the costs of serving these facilities are not shifted onto residential and small business ratepayers. "As California continues leading the world in innovation and artificial intelligence, we must make sure working families and small businesses are not left footing the bill for the enormous energy demands of large-scale data centers," said Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur. "AB 2383 ensures these facilities pay their fair share, protects ratepayers from cost shifts, and helps California plan responsibly for the future of our electrical grid." California is home to a rapidly expanding technology and artificial intelligence sector, driving increased demand for data centers that power cloud computing, AI systems, and digital infrastructure used worldwide. The California Energy Commission projects statewide peak electricity demand could exceed 66 gigawatts by 2040, with data centers accounting for approximately 6.7 gigawatts of new demand — roughly equivalent to the electricity use of more than 4 million households. As utilities receive increasing requests from large-load facilities seeking transmission-level service, regulators have identified significant gaps in how these customers are classified and charged for service. While the CPUC recently approved interim rules for large-load customers within Pacific Gas & Electric's territory, statewide long-term planning and ratepayer protections remain unresolved. AB 2383 requires the CPUC to establish a new classification for large energy use customers by 2028 designed to appropriately assign costs, avoid shifting infrastructure expenses onto other ratepayers, support grid reliability, and promote equitable contributions to state energy programs. The bill also requires utilities serving these facilities to enter into long-term service agreements with large energy users to help avoid stranded infrastructure costs and ensure financial responsibility remains with the facilities driving the demand. "Californians are one step closer to being protected from paying extra for energy-hogging data centers," said Victoria Rome, director of California government affairs at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council.) "Requiring data centers to pay for their energy usage makes sense for all ratepayers and helps keep electricity affordable across the board." "This bill is an important step toward protecting California ratepayers while enabling responsible economic growth," said Ethan Rarick, executive director of the Little Hoover Commission. "By requiring the creation of a separate rate classification for large energy use facilities, AB 2383 helps ensure that costs are appropriately allocated, and reflects our Commission's core finding that ratepayer protection must be the state's foremost priority in addressing large-load growth."

This episode is part of a nine-part series on commissions. How to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and, crucially, how to stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today, episode four of nine. And this is where the series shifts gears. For the last three episodes, we have been doing the preparation work. The mindset. The five signatures of under-pricing. The commission ecosystem. Today, an enquiry has arrived. This is the moment most artists get wrong because this is the moment their nervous system takes over. When an enquiry lands in your inbox. And before you've finished reading it, your stomach has tightened, your brain is already drafting a reply, and somewhere in the next three sentences you're going to offer availability, ideas, enthusiasm, and a half-committed yes – all before you know you are a good fit. And the principle is this. Before you reply with anything, you filter. How, is what today´s episode is about. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ceri´s short enquiry form is a low-friction sieve: it quietly filters out tire-kickers, and a serious client will fill it in within 10 minutes. The right questions reveal what they actually want, how committed they are, whether they really get your work, and whether their budget and timeline are realistic. After the enquiry form, you move into a chemistry call – 30 minutes - to ask important questions and spot red flags. Then, produce an alignment document to further test understanding. If the client confirms the alignment document, you move forward; if they come back with big changes, it's a sign you weren't fully aligned on the call – it's far better to catch that now than 3 months into making. BEST MOMENTS “Stage one of responding to any inquiry is the initial filter, low friction, high signal, a sieve, not a conversation.” “If those signals are weak, you slow things down, you don't ghost them, but you don't rescue them, you reply politely with more questions,” “The alignment document - a short-written document that confirms in writing what you heard, not a proposal, not a quote, an alignment document.” For a text version of today's teaching, plus new practical guidance every week, you can subscribe to Beat the Block at http://cerihand.com/subscribe EPISODE RESOURCES First episode of this 9-part series - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/designing-the-way-you-want-to-work-the-mindset/id1709105337?i=1000769915059 HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

The barbarians are inside the gates and throwing a toxic masculinity pageant on the front lawn. While the United States should be preparing to honor the 250th anniversary of our democratic republic by working toward a more perfect union, Donald Trump has hijacked the historic milestone to throw corrupt, all-caps "TRUMP RALLIES" and UFC cage matches to distract from his economic warfare on the American people as he and his family rake in billions. This week, Mother Jones investigative reporter Dan Friedman joins Gaslit Nation to expose the blatant kleptocracy behind "Freedom 250," a shadowy, dark-money shell company created by the White House to bypass congressional oversight and strip taxpayer funds from the bipartisan America 250 Commission. This corporate-sponsored slush fund allows the administration to openly sell White House access to elite corporate donors and tech oligarchs seeking to build monopolies approved by Trump's DOJ and rake in tax breaks. Even more alarming: the contractor hired to run these "patriotic" events is Event Strategies, the exact same group that profited from organizing Trump's violent January 6th coup attempt. We refuse to normalize corruption. If we look away now, the floodgates will swing wide open for future autocrats to follow.

What does it look like for the Church to faithfully live in the world without becoming shaped by it?In this episode, Daniel Williams sits down with Phil Metzger, Lead Pastor of Calvary San Diego and featured speaker at the CGN International Ministry Conference, to discuss mission, culture, church planting, and the role of the Church in today's world.Drawing from over twenty years of missionary service in Eastern Europe, Phil shares how God has shaped his understanding of ministry, the importance of listening across cultural differences, and why the Church must remain sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every generation.Phil also offers a preview of his upcoming conference message, exploring what it means for the Church to engage the world missionally, methodologically, and as a movement—while remaining distinct from the values of the world around us. 

In today's podcast Paul has a conversation with Gavin Willis of the Washington Red Raspberry Commission. Most of the frozen raspberries grown in the US comes from Whatcom County in Washington state due to the unique soil conditions and weather. These growers are facing issues related to labor and foreign competition but are very resilient. It can cost upwards of $50,000 to put in an acre of raspberries and mother nature does not always cooperate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode. Pastor Dom teaches about Godly living. Colossians 3:1-111 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. 5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. 8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.Matthew 6:1919 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.Deuteronomy 8:1818 But you are to remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth,…2 Corinthians 5:1717 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.Romans 7:1515 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. Romans 6:1414 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.Matthew 12:3434 …For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.Romans 12:22 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.2 Corinthians 5:2121 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Ils s'appellent Ozempic ou encore Mounjaro : ces médicaments injectables vendus pour perdre du poids rapidement font fureur dans de nombreux pays, notamment aux États-Unis, mais aussi au Brésil. Destinés normalement aux cas d'obésité ou de diabète, un grand nombre de Brésiliens en prend aujourd'hui, parfois sans prescription médicale. 5 000 euros pour perdre 22 kilos. C'est ce qu'a annoncé un endocrinologue très populaire sur les réseaux sociaux à Clara Varandas. À 31 ans, cette architecte a finalement perdu 12 kilos en quatre mois. Elle prenait une version « sur mesure » de la tirzépatide. Mais en même temps qu'elle maigrissait, elle sentait son corps s'affaiblir. « J'ai été très malade, des problèmes affreux que je n'avais jamais eus auparavant. Par exemple, j'ai eu une infection bactérienne de la peau, sur le visage. J'ai eu un côté du visage très gonflé à cause d'une simple piqûre de moustique », explique-t-elle. Chaque semaine, elle se rendait dans ce cabinet d'un quartier chic de Sao Paulo. Très chers, ces médicaments font aussi l'objet de contrebande au Brésil, raconte la correspondante de RFI, Sarah Cozzolino. Ce qui multiplie les risques d'effets secondaires indésirables, et parfois graves. Un mois d'injections de Mounjaro, acheté en pharmacie, vaut entre 200 et 350 euros. C'est plus que le salaire minimum au Brésil. À Rio de Janeiro, dans la favela de Maré, un équivalent paraguayen du médicament circule. Ce vendredi soir, Matheus Euzébio et une de ses amies s'appliquent eux-mêmes la dose, achetée dans une clinique clandestine. « Au début, ce n'était que pour les riches, témoigne-t-il dans le reportage de Sarah Cozzolino, mais maintenant on peut s'en procurer facilement pour pas cher ».    Le secrétaire général de l'ONU en visite en Haïti Antonio Guterres se rend pour la seconde fois en Haïti. Il doit se rendre notamment dans un camp de déplacés à Port-au-Prince et « constater l'aggravation de la situation sécuritaire », précise Gotson Pierre, de l'agence Alterpresse. De son côté, « la Commission pastorale pour la justice et les droits humains lance un appel à une prise de conscience nationale sur la situation des enfants », particulièrement exposés à la violence et la précarité dans le pays, ajoute-t-il. Enfin, Alterpresse évoque l'inquiétude des partis signataires de l'accord du Montana : le décret électoral publié le 2 juin 2026 n'est pas conforme à la Constitution, estiment-ils, remettant en cause également la légitimité légale du maintien au pouvoir du Premier ministre de transition Alix Didier Fils-Aimé.   Les États-Unis assurent avoir livré 300 « criminels » au Mexique 313 personnes ont été livrées par Washington à la justice mexicaine depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche, a assuré ce lundi 15 juin 2026, l'ambassadeur des États-Unis au Mexique, dans un message publié sur les réseaux sociaux. Est-ce un pas vers Mexico, alors que la question des extraditions est devenue, ces dernières semaines, un sujet de fortes tensions diplomatiques entre les deux pays ? Explications avec Justine Fontaine.   Dans le journal de La 1ère... Six Amérindiens (des peuples Kali'na et Arawak) de Guyane décédés à la fin du XIXème siècle à Paris seront bientôt de retour sur leurs terres, explique Benoît Ferrand, d'Outre-mer La 1ère. 

President Trump is working fast to remake the nation's capital in his image.His major construction projects include demolishing the East Wing of the White House for his proposed ballroom and a planned 250-foot arch that would dwarf the Lincoln Memorial.As part of the mission to renovate D.C., the White House has bypassed many of the checks put in place for any president seeking major transformations in the city — like firing all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts and installing deputies who align with his policies.But as the president moves to transform D.C., what does the lack of oversight say about how transparent the administration is being with its plans? And where is the money from these projects coming from?Find more of our programs online.

Listen to the full episode Influential right-wing pundit turned celebrity conspiracy-peddler, Candace Owens, just visited Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. While at “Russia's Davos” she marvelled at the cleanliness and beauty of Moscow, explained that Americans were never given any real reason why Putin invading Ukraine was bad, and deflected questions about her potential presidential run. She's not alone. MAGA has increasingly found a warm place in its heart for Vladimir Putin and other strongman dictator-types (like Viktor Orban). Owens rubbed shoulders with accused sex traffickers, the Tate Brothers, fake martial artist and aging film star, Steven Segall, Trump's head of the Commission of Fine Arts, and representatives of the Taliban, North Korea, Iran, and China. In this reimagining of Russia—the same “evil empire” of GOP patron saint, Ronald Reagan—the post-Soviet dictatorship is poo-pooed as a danger to European democracies by a growing cadre on the right. Figures like Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Tim Pool, Nick Fuentes, and Marjorie Taylor Green all oppose US support for Ukraine and involvement in the war in Iran. In another interesting turn, they now also all oppose US support for Israel—which makes for some strange diagonalist bedfellows with certain figures on the left, like Hasan Piker.  Julian unpacks this story. Stay tuned for claims that Carlson and Green have been less harmful to Gaza than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as for erstwhile left-wing pundit Ana Kasparian's come-to-Jesus moment on Owens' show.

C dans l'air du 15 juin 2026 - Trump : un anniversaire... et un accord de paix !Les États-Unis et l'Iran ont annoncé dimanche 14 juin avoir trouvé le cadre d'un accord pour mettre fin à la guerre sur tous les fronts au Moyen-Orient, avec une cérémonie de signature prévue vendredi prochain à Genève, avant des pourparlers de 60 jours plus précis et techniques sur les sujets qui fâchent.Pour le moment, le document sur lequel se sont entendus Washington et Téhéran n'a pas été rendu public. Donald Trump a néanmoins promis sur son réseau Truth Social la réouverture du détroit d'Ormuz dès vendredi.« J'autorise pleinement la réouverture du détroit d'Ormuz sans droits de passage et, parallèlement, la levée immédiate du blocus naval américain. Navires du monde entier, mettez vos moteurs en marche ! Que le pétrole coule à flots ! », a écrit le président des États-Unis, ajoutant que cette ouverture interviendra « dès la signature de l'accord vendredi afin de permettre le déminage ».En fin de matinée, ce lundi, l'agence iranienne Fars a néanmoins indiqué que l'Iran a ajouté au dernier moment des négociations une clause prévoyant l'imposition de redevances pour les services maritimes dans le détroit d'Ormuz.Alors, que contient cet accord-cadre ? Ce passage stratégique, par où transite d'ordinaire un cinquième du pétrole brut mondial, va-t-il réellement rouvrir ? Dans quelles conditions ? Y aura-t-il un péage ?Si les conditions précises de ce protocole d'accord ne sont pas encore connues, l'éventualité d'une possible reprise du transit dans le détroit a entraîné une chute des cours de l'or noir et une avalanche de réactions. La vice-présidente de la Commission européenne et haute représentante de l'Union européenne pour les Affaires étrangères, Kaja Kallas, a salué prudemment une « avancée potentielle ».Depuis Évian-les-Bains, où s'ouvre ce lundi le sommet du G7, Emmanuel Macron a de son côté affirmé « qu'il faut tout faire pour mettre en œuvre cet accord ». La mission maritime internationale mise en place par la France et le Royaume-Uni est « prête à accompagner » sa réouverture. Si cela se confirme, le Charles-de-Gaulle ne mettrait que « deux ou trois jours » à se rendre à Ormuz, a assuré le président.Le président de la République a aussi dit vouloir « une discussion respectueuse mais ferme » avec Donald Trump, qui, ces dernières heures, a de nouveau menacé d'imposer des droits de douane de 100 % sur le vin français si Paris ne supprime pas sa taxe sur les services numériques.Parallèlement, l'administration américaine a décidé d'interdire l'utilisation des deux modèles d'IA les plus récents d'Anthropic à « tout ressortissant étranger », provoquant un coup de tonnerre sur les deux rives de l'Atlantique.Le chef de l'État va s'entretenir avec son homologue américain ce lundi. Un président des États-Unis qui devrait apparaître revigoré par cet accord avec l'Iran, annoncé au soir de sa fête d'anniversaire.Pour ses 80 ans, Donald Trump a transformé dimanche la pelouse de la Maison Blanche en arène pour des athlètes de MMA. Le spectacle s'est déroulé devant 4 000 invités triés sur le volet, installés autour de la cage, dont l'incontournable Mark Zuckerberg, PDG de Meta, ou David Ellison, patron de Paramount.Quelque 100 000 spectateurs s'étaient par ailleurs massés dans un parc adjacent pour suivre les combats sur écran géant et écouter les hommages au président rendus par certains vainqueurs, gladiateurs des temps modernes.

Pour respecter l'accord de Paris de 2015 sur le climat, les pays de l'Union européenne devraient l'abandonner avant 2030. Beaucoup s'y sont engagés. Mais après l'invasion à grande échelle de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022, et la hausse des prix de l'énergie, certains ont repoussé l'échéance ou revu leur calendrier. La Roumanie en fait partie. Le pays touche des aides de Bruxelles pour sortir du charbon, mais a obtenu en octobre 2025 un délai supplémentaire de la part de la Commission européenne, pour reporter la fermeture de plusieurs de ses mines et centrales, malgré les conséquences pour l'environnement.

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

"Until immunomodulators, patients [with myeloma] did not have a great overall survival rate. But when we introduced lenalidomide, we started seeing our patients have life expectancies between five and seven years—which was unheard of prior to these immunomodulators going forward. I think it's promising and allows patients to have quality of life versus therapy of life," ONS member Daniel Verina, DNP, RN, ACNP-BC, nurse practitioner for the multiple myeloma program at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, NY, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, BMTCN®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about immunomodulators.

Highlights From This Episode "We definitely want the diagnosis of multiple myeloma before initiating these drugs. We're going to look at serum protein electrophoresis. We want to make sure that we know the patient has serum free light chains and myeloma proteins to really confirm their disease. Plus, a bone marrow biopsy." TS 7:21 "Each immunomodulator has slightly different side effects. Thalidomide's biggest side effects are constipation, weakness, fatigue, somnolence, peripheral neuropathy, mood swings, hand tremors, and depression. With each generation, less of the side effects actually occurred. Most of lenalidomide's side effects, not discounting the deep vein thrombosis, are pancytopenia—the neutropenia, the anemia, and the thrombocytopenia. [The side effects] are very similar in pomalidomide." TS 15:40 "The REMS program is critical for oral immunomodulator therapies—thalidomide, pomalidomide, and lenalidomide. It was developed due to the risk of developing embryofetal toxicities. ... It is mandatory testing and counseling, so all females of reproductive potential must have two negative pregnancy tests prior to starting the therapy and then monthly pregnancy tests while on the therapy alone. Again, they must use two forms of effective contraceptives or abstain from heterosexual sex four weeks prior, during, and after. And the same thing for men. I focus on that because males may say, 'I have a vasectomy.' These therapies tend to bind to the semen. So, males must still use a latex or synthetic condom during any sexual contact with a female of reproductive potential, even if they did have a vasectomy." TS 18:31 "The capsule itself cannot be chewed, crushed, or opened. I bring that up because as healthcare professionals, we have educated our patients. If it's difficult to swallow capsules or tablets, we've always said to them, 'Oh, don't worry, just crush it into applesauce or open it up and sprinkle it on your mashed potatoes.' But because of this embryofetal toxicity, I advise my patients not to open the capsule. If they can't swallow it for any reason, they have a sore throat or they're just unable to, then [we tell them] to hold the therapy and then call us." TS 22:49 "We spoke about three generations already, but there's actually a fourth generation [of immunomodulators]. They're called cereblon E3 ligase modulators(CELMoDs). They're still in clinical trials but really showing promise in the therapy of myeloma. They're showing very good affinity to cereblons, just like the immunomodulators do. I think, in all cancer therapies, as newer generations come out or newer therapies move forward, some of the older generations might move aside, but they get integrated later on. So I don't think [immunomodulators] will disappear totally, but they will probably be modified." TS 36:39

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with client strategist Amadeus Huff to cover a wide range of topics that wind their way from the nuts and bolts of recruiting and payment models to the rapidly shifting landscape of AI adoption in business. The two dig into how AI tools are reshaping client success roles, the murky territory of recording laws and privacy in a globalized world, the geopolitical implications of oil supply chains, sanctions, and the rise of domestic tech ecosystems in countries like Russia and Argentina, and what all of this means for the future of human connection and the nation-state. Amadeus closes on an optimistic note, arguing that as AI takes over bureaucratic busywork and erodes trust online, people will increasingly hunger for genuine human relationships and third spaces. You can connect with Amadeus Huff on LinkedIn.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Amadeus Huff, diving into recruiting as building connections between job seekers and employers with minimal variance.05:00 - Amadeus discusses AI adoption pitfalls, comparing aggressive growth strategies to Amazon's early model, questioning whether tools deliver promised results.10:00 - Conversation shifts to AI notetaking versus human perception, exploring probabilistic interpretation differences between humans and machines.15:00 - Recording consent laws debated across states, touching on Waymo surveillance, Uber data collection, and public versus private space definitions.20:00 - Global privacy landscape examined, covering Swiss banking secrecy erosion, ProtonMail's departure, and RISC-V semiconductor development escaping US jurisdiction.25:00 - Sanctions creating domestic innovation ecosystems discussed through Russia's example, paralleling Argentina's emerging commerce evolution.29:00 - Closing reflections on AI replacing bureaucracy while preserving human purpose, optimism about meaningful work and deeper personal connections emerging.Key Insights1. Recruiting is fundamentally about reducing variance between what job seekers want and what employers offer. The most ethical payment models in recruiting are tied to proven success, such as waiting three months to confirm a hire is working out, rather than collecting fees the moment a contract is signed.2. Business thinking has shifted from shareholder value to stakeholder value, meaning companies now consider the wellbeing of employees, families, and communities, not just stock price. This shift is accelerating due to AI overpromising and underdelivering, making value-based measurement more important.3. AI is most useful when it handles administrative tasks that provide no direct value to customers, such as transcribing meetings and populating CRM systems. This frees up workers to focus on meaningful relationship-building and intellectual work rather than bureaucratic busywork.4. There is an important distinction between recorded and unrecorded conversation in professional settings. Building trust through informal off-the-record dialogue before switching on a transcription tool creates clearer boundaries and stronger relationships with clients.5. Sanctions tend to follow a bell curve of effectiveness. Over time they force sanctioned countries to build domestic alternatives, which gain adoption and loyalty, ultimately reducing the influence of the original foreign companies once sanctions lift.6. AI is degrading trust in online information to the point where people will increasingly crave authentic human connection, physical gathering spaces, live experiences, and real relationships rather than algorithmically generated content.7. AI is quietly improving intergenerational relationships by removing codependency. When elderly parents learn to use AI for technical help, their calls to family members shift from problem-solving to genuine connection, which strengthens the relationship.

On this, our 329th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we continue to discuss the West. We begin with readings of glorious California—from Stegner to Chandler to Didion—and reminisce about our own time growing up in LA. Then: the elections in California seem rigged, and if your elections are rigged, you don't have a democracy. Paper polls worked; in-person voting worked; exit polls provided information. Why did our elections change? The system as it stands is an invitation to fraud. A democratic republic is the only viable alternative, and Democrats are destroying the goose that lays the golden eggs, which makes the marvelous life of most people—including the men singing about not taking it anymore--possible. Meanwhile in the state of Washington: the newest Executive Order demonstrates just how spineless, powerless, and in need of replacement, our leaders are. EO 26-01 purports to address menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms; instead, it is a pandering, bureaucratic, gameable, woke, anti-scientific mess.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
