The results of this year's Te Taunaki Public Service Census highlight that almost a third of disabled public servants felt discriminated against at work. The Human Rights Commission's disability rights commissioner Prudence Walker believes that the results highlight the need for more support towards public sector workers living with disabilities.  Producer Faith spoke to Prudence about the discriminations faced, and how we can achieve a shift in attitude, rather than just strengthening laws.

In other words, it is the fallacy of inferring a causal relationship from a temporal one.

GB2RS News Sunday, the 26th of October 2025 The news headlines: Get involved with YOTA Month and book your GB25YOTA operating slot today Photos from the VHF and HF contest trophies presentation are now on the RSGB website RSGB gives an update on the QSL Bureau Youngsters on the Air Month takes place in December, and the RSGB would love you to take part in this annual event. Special callsign GB25YOTA will be active throughout the month. Whether you are an individual, club, school, university or social group, this is a fantastic opportunity to host the callsign and get young radio amateurs active on the amateur bands. The Society would love to see Scouts, Girlguiding and Cadet groups taking part too. The RGSB has changed the procedure for booking operating slots this year, so it is easier to see availability. Visit rsgb.org/yota-month and click on the schedule to view which time slots are available. These aren't fixed and can be adjusted to suit your timings. You'll then need to email RSGB YOTA Month Coordinator Jamie, M0SDV via yota.month@rsgb.org.uk to register as a GB25YOTA host and book your slot. Jamie can also help with any questions about taking part for the first time. The Society is aiming for the callsign to be hosted every day during December to enable more youngsters to have a taste of amateur radio. Be part of this great goal and book your operating slot today. The main VHF and HF contest trophy presentations were held at the RSGB 2025 Convention on Sunday, the 12th of October. A list of the winners and photos from the presentation can now be seen on the RSGB website via rsgb.org/trophies and selecting ‘Awards photos galleries' from the menu on the right-hand side. During the presentation, the prestigious ROTAB Trophy was awarded to John Warburton, G4IRN, for outstanding and consistent DX work. The RSGB would like to congratulate John and all the winners who received a trophy. Following the well-deserved retirement of QSL Bureau Manager Richard Constantine, G3UGF, the RSGB Board is making arrangements to ensure the continued smooth operation of the QSL Bureau service. Members should continue to send outgoing QSL cards to PO Box 5, Halifax, as usual. Similarly, incoming cards will continue to be distributed by your existing sub-manager, and stamped, addressed envelopes should still be sent directly to them. The Board is currently finalising new management arrangements for the Bureau and will provide a further update once these are in place. The Board wishes to record its sincere thanks to Richard for his many years of dedicated service to the Society and to the amateur radio community. Following Ofcom's recent implementation of Phases 2 and 3 of the amateur radio licence review, it has updated its main guidance document. Please ensure you use the October 2025 edition so that you are using the latest information. Ofcom has also clarified that if you hold a Special Contest Callsign NoV and you change your individual or club callsign, the SCC NoV is still valid. This is because your Full Amateur Radio Licence reference number has not changed. If you do hold an SCC NoV and you have changed your individual or club callsign, please send an email to scc@rsgb.org.uk  stating your old callsign, your new callsign and your SCC, so the RSGB Contest Support Committee Chair can update the issued SCC list.

It looks like Earth dodged a bullet last week when a large coronal mass ejection, or CME, erupted on the far side of the Sun on Tuesday, the 21st of October. Had that CME been Earth-directed, we could have endured a strong, or possibly an extreme, geomagnetic storm with dazzling displays of aurora. The source of the eruption was possibly sunspot region 4246, which is now past the Sun's west limb. The ACE spacecraft detected high levels of protons streaming past Earth, but they remained below the minor S1 radiation storm threshold. In other news, we have had a quiet geomagnetic week, which has allowed the ionosphere to shine. The solar flux index has been modest, ranging from 130 to 150, but propagation has been aided by improved geomagnetic conditions. During the past week, the 10m band was humming with activity. Lots of stations were preparing for the CQ World Wide SSB Contest, which ends today, the 26th. 8P5A in Barbados has been romping in during the afternoon, as has HZ0YL in Saudi Arabia. Other DX worked last week, according to the CDXC Slack chat group, includes VK9DX on Norfolk Island on 12m SSB; 6O3T in Somalia on 40m CW; and PJ6Y on Saba and St Eustatius using SSB on the 12m band. This last station is a young radio amateurs' DXpedition by the Pacific Island DX Group. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will stay in the 140 to 150 range with the Kp index starting the week low but then rising. We may expect a Kp index of 5, or even 6, around the 28th to the 31st of October. Look for auroral conditions and lower maximum usable frequencies during this period. Meanwhile, make the most of the long-range propagation on the higher bands while the Kp index is low. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The period of weather up to the end of the week ending the 2nd of November looks distinctly unsettled, with the weather pattern driven by an Atlantic jet stream pointing straight at the British Isles. This will mean that further periods of stormy weather are possible with strong winds and heavy rain. This is not a time to expect much tropo for VHF or UHF, but it is a good period for the GHz bands to explore rain scatter propagation. The foF2 and foEs graphs at propquest.co.uk  have been experiencing some data supply issues recently. It's worth noting that strong jet streams and fast-moving weather systems, as we have now, can bring a chance of out-of-season Sporadic-E. A good example on the evening of Sunday, the 19th of October, can be found if you check the archive tab. This four-hour active period was possibly associated with a slowly advancing jet stream as seen on the Sporadic-E blog tab for that date. Meteor scatter operators had the Orionids, which peaked on the 22nd, to play with last week. The broad zone of activity may continue to provide weakening interest through the coming week. The Kp index has been relatively subdued recently, but the message is once again to continue to monitor for the chance openings by noting when the Kp index reaches 5 or more, or if you start to hear LF CW signals take on a fluttery note. For EME operators, the Moon's declination is at a minimum today, the 26th, so Moon window lengths and peak elevation are both low. Apogee was early on Friday the 24th, so path losses are falling again. 144MHz sky noise rises over the weekend, reaching some 3300K today, the 26th, before falling steadily to low levels the following Friday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

The families of people with developmental disabilities are especially worried about their future now that Republicans have shut down access to key government services and are making health insurance less affordable. Knowing that around 80% of women with some form of intellectual disability have been sexually assaulted, access to contraception and other affordable care is especially important. We'll talk to one mother about the real-life impact of the GOP's political games.

As of Tuesday 21st October, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's new Cabinet appointed Kenichiro Ueno as health, labor and welfare minister and Hitoshi Kikawada as minister for children and population issues, but did not include a minister specifically in charge of elderly or disabled affairs, leaving those areas under the health ministry's broader welfare framework.

Today, we're focusing on the topic of style with content creator and disability advocate April Lockhart. She began her career in fashion and beauty, working for companies including Victoria's Secret, Tarte, and Caudalie. While working a 9-to-5, she also created content on the side, and in 2022, she gained traction for her series Normalizing Disabled Fashion Girlies. When she realized she was earning five times her salary from her side hustle and maxing out her PTO, she decided to leave her role as director of influencer and partnerships at Ilia Beauty to pursue content creation full-time. In addition to her work as a creator, Lockhart is also a disability advocate. This year, she founded Disabled&, a community for creatives with disabilities. In this episode, she gets into what it's like to go to fashion week as an influencer, the state of disability representation in fashion, and why inclusive design is so important.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson gave her argument during the Voting Rights hearing in which she compared black citizen voters to disabled people. No, seriously, she made that argument! Take a listen to how the Conservative Circus covers this comment.

AOC and Bernie Sanders took part in a CNN Town Hall, and it got very interesting, entertaining, and sad all rolled into one. The Supreme Court had a hearing to decide the future of gerrymandering as it refers to the Voting Rights Act. Are the Dems in trouble? Well, if they have Justice KJB continuing to defend gerrymandering by comparing black voters to disabled America, they sure are. Plus, Pelosi loses it, Katie Hobbs is like unsure to um like debate next year, Mamdani goes on Fox News and comes off smooth but still doesn't answer questions directly, Turning Point Super Bowl, football, and American Revival. Take a listen.

So SCOTUS judge KBJ said that black people are like disabled people... and Jeff takes a moment to call out that nonsense!

SCOTUS is hearing a redistricting case in Louisiana and Kentanji Brown Jackson says Black people don't have equal access to the voting system because they are disabled.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

This episode is essential listening for anyone who's inherited an IRA, especially in light of the game-changing SECURE Act. If you've inherited a retirement account from a non-spouse since 2020, this episode is packed with details you need to know to avoid unexpected tax bills and penalties. I explain the new rules for inherited IRAs, explaining the requirements and options for non-designated, non-eligible, and eligible designated beneficiaries. Whether you're figuring out minimum distributions or seeking smart tax-planning strategies, you'll get clear guidance on how these updates affect you, plus tips to steer clear of common mistakes in 2025 and beyond. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Inherited IRAs: key details explained. [02:36] SECURE Act and rule changes. [04:18] Retirement account beneficiary guidance. [07:13] IRA inheritance withdrawal rules. [10:31] IRA distribution rules explained. [13:36] Get in touch for more inherited IRA guidance & support. Inherited IRAs After the SECURE Act: What You Need to Know Before 2020, inherited IRAs were relatively simple: most non-spouse beneficiaries could "stretch" required minimum distributions (RMDs) over their lifetime, potentially lowering annual tax bills. The SECURE Act changed that. If you inherited an IRA from someone who passed away on or after January 1, 2020, new distribution rules likely apply to you, and ignorance could cost you in penalties. The law categorizes beneficiaries into three groups, and the rules differ based on which kind you are. 1. Non-Designated Beneficiaries Non-designated beneficiaries are not people; think estates, certain trusts (non-qualifying), or charities. Naming your estate as the beneficiary might not be the best move if you want your family to get the most options. Here's why: If the original owner died before their required beginning date (generally April 1 of the year they turned 73), the account must be fully distributed within five years. If they died after that date, the estate can take distributions using the deceased owner's single life expectancy, but this is still less flexible than for individual beneficiaries. 2. Non-Eligible Designated Beneficiaries This is the category most adult children, grandchildren, and some trusts fall into. For these individuals, the rules are as follows: If the owner died before their required beginning date (age 73), you must drain the IRA within ten years, but there's no mandate on interim distributions until year 10. Be careful, though, a massive, one-year withdrawal could push you into a higher tax bracket. If the owner died after their required beginning date, Annual RMDs start the year after death using the single life expectancy table, and the account must be completely emptied by the end of the tenth year. 3. Eligible Designated Beneficiaries This privileged group gets more flexibility, including: Surviving spouses (who can treat the IRA as their own or as inherited). Minor children (of the deceased owner, but only until age 21). Disabled and chronically ill individuals. Individuals no more than ten years younger than the deceased. They're allowed to take stretch distributions based on their own life expectancy, often leading to much smaller annual withdrawals and lower taxes. Planning Opportunities and Tax Pitfalls The IRS wants its share, and waiting until year 10 to take out all the funds could mean a significant tax hit. Instead, you might consider spreading withdrawals over several years, especially if you know you'll retire before year 10, lowering your tax rate in some of those years. Beneficiaries must also remember critical deadlines. Because the IRS allowed a moratorium on required distributions from 2021 to 2024 due to pandemic-related confusion, many will need to start withdrawing in 2025. Missing a required distribution can cost you 25% of the amount you should have taken, ouch! Practical Steps for Beneficiaries Review the decedent's date of death: This will determine which rules apply. Identify what type of beneficiary you are. Plan withdrawals smartly: Don't let inertia trigger a tax bomb in your tenth year. Consult a financial advisor: The rules are complex, and the stakes are high; personalized advice can help prevent costly mistakes. Don't name your estate or a non-qualifying trust as your beneficiary if you want your heirs to have better options. Inherited IRAs under the SECURE Act require more attention than ever before. Get proactive: determine your beneficiary type, mark your calendar for required distributions, and develop a tax strategy that fits your situation.

From Sick, Disabled, and on Multiple Meds to Thriving on a Plant-Based Diet “I had to use crutches and canes and had leg braces to keep my legs from buckling. I had trouble getting out of chairs, walking, and driving. The more I hurt, the more I medicated, and the more I medicated, the more I hurt. It was a vicious cycle that sucked all the joy out of life. I was committing a slow, drawn-out suicide.” Listen to Tim Kaufman's success story at Forks Over Knives. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #wfpb #elhersdanlos #hypertension #obesity ========================== Original post:  https://www.forksoverknives.com/success-stories/sick-and-disabled-to-healthy-on-a-plant-based-diet/  ========================== Use search feature at https://www.plantbasedbriefing.com/episodes-search   ========================= Forks Over Knives Documentary: https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/  =========================== Forks Over Knives was founded following the release of the world-famous documentary Forks Over Knives in 2011, showing people how to regain control of their health and their lives with a plant-based diet.

Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions.

We're joined by two passionate disability inclusion coordinators from Milwaukee's Jewish Community Center who share their mission of creating meaningful opportunities for adults with disabilities. With over 150 programs annually, they're focused on what truly matters: combating isolation and ensuring people with disabilities have authentic life experiences and community connections.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when we explore the hierarchy of accessibility needs. Should there be an "extreme handicap" designation for those with severe mobility limitations? While acknowledging the frustration of seeing accessibility features misused, our guests remind us about the danger of making assumptions when "we don't know everybody's story." This tension between advocating for those with significant needs while respecting invisible disabilities highlights the complexity of creating truly inclusive spaces.We also explore Milwaukee's accessibility landscape, from retrofitted historic buildings to the new downtown tram called "the Hop" that's revolutionizing mobility. What emerges is a powerful reminder that disability advocacy isn't just about physical access—it's about belonging. As someone paralyzed from the neck down and breathing through a machine, I've learned that breaking through walls means refusing to let obstacles define your path. Whether you're part of the disability community or an ally, this episode will challenge you to see accessibility in a new light.Subscribe now and join our growing community of listeners who believe in living life to the max, regardless of the barriers we face.
