Podcasts about disproportionate

This week's Extra Alarm insights come to us from Linda Willing, who tackles the significance of proportional responses. Willing emphasizes how underreaction can condone inappropriate behavior, while overreaction can waste resources and damage trust. Using real-life examples, she illustrates that responses should be fair, consistent and proportional to the incidents, whether on the fireground or in organizational settings. Disproportionate responses can lead to further problems, trust issues and morale damage.

A couple of weeks ago i put up a tiktok about Ireland having a disproportionate impact on global pop culture given the size of its population. It got a pretty mad reaction so I decided to get two sound heads on to talk about it. Why is there such an affinity for Irish culture right now? Is it just the neat guinness drinking, sexy sad boy, fontaines loving conception of what it is to be irish that's palatable to huge swathes of people? Or is there something deeper going on and is a new wave of talent breaking new ground in never before seen ways?Shout out to RiRa for sponsoring this season of the podcast - https://www.ri-ra.beer/Shout out to WHIPITCONALL on making the jingle for the podcast check him out here: Instagram.com/whipitconall Follow me:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/deeeemurph/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@deeeemurphFollow Lucinda GrahamInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lucindalohan/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@cher4president?lang=enFollow Saul Duffin:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/itsaullovin/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itsaulok?lang=en Hosted on Acast.

People reap what they sow- Life is connected. There is a correlation between what you did/said in the past and what's going on in your life right now. Read Along with the message: Scripture: Galatians 6:3–5, 7, 9

“What are you going through?” This was one of the central animating questions in Simone Weil's thought that pushed her beyond philosophy into action. Weil believed that genuinely asking this question of the other, particularly the afflicted other, then truly listening and prayerfully attending, would move us toward an enactment of justice and love.Simone Weil believed that any suffering that can be ameliorated, should be.In this episode, Part 2 of our short series on How to Read Simone Weil, Cynthia Wallace (Associate Professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan), and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion and Evan Rosa discuss the risky self-giving way of Simone Weil; her incredible literary influence, particularly on late 20th century feminist writers; the possibility of redemptive suffering; the morally complicated territory of self-sacrificial care and the way that has traditionally fallen to women and minorities; what it means to make room and practicing hospitality for the afflicted other; hunger; the beauty of vulnerability; and that grounding question for Simone Weil political ethics, “What are you going through?”We're in our second episode of a short series exploring How to Read Simone Weil. She's the author of Gravity and Grace, The Need for Roots, and Waiting for God—among many other essays, letters, and notes—and a deep and lasting influence that continues today.In this series, we're exploring Simone Weil the Mystic, Simone Weil the Activist, Simone Weil the Existentialist. And what we'll see is that so much of her spiritual, political, and philosophical life, are deeply unified in her way of being and living and dying.And on that note, before we go any further, I need to issue a correction from our previous episode in which I erroneously stated that Weil died in France. And I want to thank subscriber and listener Michael for writing and correcting me.Actually she died in England in 1943, having ambivalently fled France in 1942 when it was already under Nazi occupation—first to New York, then to London to work with the Free French movement and be closer to her home.And as I went back to fix my research, I began to realize just how important her place of death was. She died in a nursing home outside London. In Kent, Ashford to be precise. She had become very sick, and in August 1943 was moved to the Grosvenor Sanitorium.The manner and location of her death matter because it's arguable that her death by heart failure was not a self-starving suicide (as the coroner reported), but rather, her inability to eat was a complication rising from tuberculosis, combined with her practice of eating no more than the meager rations her fellow Frenchmen lived on under Nazi occupation.Her biographer Richard Rees wrote: "As for her death, whatever explanation one may give of it will amount in the end to saying that she died of love.In going back over the details of her death, I found a 1977 New York Times article by Elizabeth Hardwick, and I'll quote at length, as it offers a very fitting entry into this week's episode on her life of action, solidarity, and identification with and attention to the affliction of others.“Simone Weil, one of the most brilliant, and original minds of 20th century France, died at the age of 34 in a nursing home near London. The coroner issued a verdict of suicide, due to voluntary starvation—an action undertaken at least in part out of wish not to eat more than the rations given her compatriots in France under the German occupation. The year of her death was 1943.“The willed deprivation of her last period was not new; indeed refusal seems to have been a part of her character since infancy. What sets her apart from our current ascetics with their practice of transcendental meditation, diet, vegetarianism, ashram simplicities, yoga is that with them the deprivations and rigors‐are undergone for the pay‐off—for tranquility, for thinness, for the hope of a long life—or frequently, it seems, to fill the hole of emptiness so painful to the narcissist. With Simone Well it was entirely the opposite.“It was her wish, or her need, to undergo misery, affliction and deprivation because such had been the lot of mankind throughout history. Her wish was not to feel better, but to honor the sufferings of the lowest. Thus around 1935, when she was 25 years old, this woman of transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning, already very frail and suffering from severe headaches, was determined to undertake a year of work in a factory. The factories, the assembly lines, were then the modem equivalent of “slavery,” and she survived in her own words as “forever a slave.” What she went through at the factory “marked me in so lasting a manner that still today when any human being, whoever he may be and in whatever circumstances, speaks to me without brutality, I cannot help having the impression teat there must be a mistake....”[Her contemporary] “Simone de Beauvoir tells of meeting her when they were preparing for examinations to enter a prestigious private school. ‘She intrigued me because of her great reputation for intelligence and her bizarre outfits. ... A great famine had broken out in China, and I was told that when she heard the news she had wept. . . . I envied her for having a heart that could beat round the world.'“In London her health vanished, even though the great amount of writing she did right up to the time she went to the hospital must have come from those energies of the dying we do not understand—the energies of certain chosen dying ones, that is. Her behavior in the hospital, her refusal and by now her Inability to eat, vexed and bewildered the staff. Her sense of personal accountability to the world's suffering had reached farther than sense could follow.”Last week, we heard from Eric Springsted, one of the co-founders of the American Weil Society and author of Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century.Next week, we'll explore Simone Weil the Existentialist—with philosopher Deborah Casewell, author of Monotheism & Existentialism and Co-Director of the Simone Weil Research Network in the UK.But this week we're looking at Simone Weil the Activist—her perspectives on redemptive suffering, her longing for justice, and her lasting influence on feminist writers. With me is Cynthia Wallace, associate professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan, and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion.This is unique because it's learning how to read Simone Weil from some of her closest readers and those she influenced, including poets and writers such as Adrienne Rich, Denise Levertov, and Annie Dillard.About Cynthia WallaceCynthia Wallace is Associate Professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan, and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion, as well as **Of Women Borne: A Literary Ethics of Suffering.About Simone WeilSimone Weil (1909–1943) was a French philosopher, mystic, and political activist.

A team of researchers at the University of Oregon is currently studying the relationships between soccer cleat composition and risk of injury in female versus male athletes. Female soccer players are three times more likely to suffer from major knee injuries than male soccer players, and a recent English study found that ACL injuries are 2-6 times more likely in females than males. This group of students and faculty at UO have been running tests for the past five years testing cleat stud length, traction and stability. They have created a model for a new type of cleat designed specifically for the female foot anatomy, which is in the beginning stages of development. We'll hear more from Emily Karolidis, a PhD candidate and lead researcher in this study, and Mike Hahn, professor of human physiology at UO.

Clare's MEP believes the sitting European Commission President's "disproportionate response" to the conflict in Gaza is to blame for the level of opposition towards her. The 720 members of the European Parliament will cast their votes tomorrow on who will head up the European Commission for the next five years and Ursula von der Leyen needs the backing of 361 to secure her re-election. Her own party, the European People's Party, as well the Socialists, have already pledged their support, while the Renew Group remains divided. Scariff native and Independent member of the Renew Group, Michael McNamara, says von der Leyen's advocacy for increased defence spending as well as her alignment with Israel has led to division with the European Parliament.

We all know the pandemic disrupted education — but we're still uncovering just how much it affected students here in Minnesota.Recent data showed a severe issue with absenteeism throughout the state. And those who are chronically absent in Minneapolis are disproportionately special education students.Since the start of the pandemic, the number of students with disabilities who are chronically absent from Minneapolis Public Schools has doubled or nearly doubled in more than a third of schools.Beth Hawkins is a journalist with The 74, an online education magazine. She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to explain the absenteeism crisis.

(AURN News) — Black congregations in the United States have borne a disproportionate financial and mental burden from the COVID-19 pandemic compared to white and multiracial congregations, according to a report released in January. The Understanding the Pandemic Impact on Black and Multiracial Congregations report was funded by the Lilly Endowment and led by researchers at the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. It found stark disparities in how the pandemic affected churches of different racial makeups. One of the key findings of the report underscores the financial strain experienced by Black churches. Between the summer and fall of 2021, majority-Black congregations witnessed a significant downturn in their financial stability compared to their white and multiracial counterparts. The disparity persisted even in the post-pandemic period, with 34% of majority-Black churches reporting worsened financial health from 2018 to 2023, as opposed to 28% for multiracial churches and 29% for white majority churches. The report unveils a concerning trend in the optimism levels within Black and multiracial congregations. Over the course of two years, spanning from spring 2021 to spring 2023, there was a noticeable decline in optimism among these two groups, indicating the major challenges they continue to face in navigating the aftermath of the pandemic. So, what about the mental well-being of Black clergy members? By spring 2023, Black clergy reported a decrease in their overall mental health, in stark contrast to their white counterparts who experienced an actual increase. The data utilized in the report draws from the Faith Communities Today (FACT) and the Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations (EPIC) surveys. Learn more about your ad choices.

Could the strategic placement of abortion clinics in predominantly black neighborhoods be more than a mere coincidence? Prepare to confront a startling reality as we delve into the disproportionate impact of abortion on black communities. With a pro-life lens, this episode unravels a narrative that's been largely ignored, one where black women—constituting just 14% of the childbearing population—account for a staggering 36% of reported abortions. Amidst a backdrop of silence in mainstream discourse, particularly among voices championing equality and inclusion, we challenge the status quo by shining a light on these unsettling statistics and their profound implications for the African American community.As we peel back layers of complexity in the abortion debate, this episode does not shy away from asking tough questions about the historical and societal factors at play. With a critical eye, we examine the alarming accessibility of abortion services to African American and Hispanic populations and provoke thought on potential underlying intentions. Acknowledging the spectrum of health considerations that lead to abortions, our conversation seeks to inspire a deeper reflection on the broader societal ramifications and historical context of these high rates within black communities—a narrative set to unfold further in the continuing series. Join us for a thought-provoking journey into an issue that demands our attention and a more robust dialogue in the quest for understanding and change.Support the show

In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry initiates a crucial dialogue on the topic of black male achievement within the K-12 education system. Joined by experienced educator and author, Andrew McGee, they dive deep into the historical context of racial discrimination and its far-reaching impact on the educational success of black male students. Through an insightful exploration, they shed light on the systemic barriers, unequal access, and detrimental stereotypes that have shaped the realities faced by these students.Key Takeaways:Racial discrimination has deeply shaped black male achievement in K-12 education, leading to unequal access, underfunding, and a lack of cultural relevance.The presence of positive black male role models in schools is essential to combat negative stereotypes and offer relatable guidance to students.Incorporating a variety of voices, authors, and perspectives in the curriculum can empower black male students by reflecting their cultural contributions and experiences.Strategies such as challenging stereotypes, providing diverse role models, and creating inclusive learning environments are vital to counter implicit biases in education.Disproportionate suspensions and expulsions negatively impact black male academic performance, leading to loss of instruction, disengagement, and increased dropout rates.Implementing Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS), mentoring programs, after-school activities, family engagement, and advocating for policy change can create a more equitable education system.Dr. Almitra Berry and Andrew McGee shed light on the educational disparities faced by black male students, they present a roadmap for change. By championing diversity, fostering inclusivity, and providing the necessary support, we can rewrite the narrative and empower these students to achieve their fullest potential.

MSP Growth Exaggerated? Canalys is doing some great work in analyzing managed services. Long overdue. Disproportionate # of MSPs actually producing revenue. Hardware/software influence (more on this in the next segment)   Do MSPs Impact Hardware Sales? I recently saw someone promoting a webinar on the topic of MSPs increasing hardware sales, and it caught my eye. It's not a typical subject we see discussed these days, but it is still a relevant one. Legacy role of MSPs and hardware Modern day MSP and hardware Defensive (prevent encroachment by other MSPs) HaaS MSPs as hardware/software influencers   Co-Managed IT: Is it Possible? I see a lot of websites promote co-managed services offerings. Given the sheer number of these offerings I assume that co-managed services is enjoying some measure of success these days. However, questions must be presented (and answered) before any MSP ought to proceed with a co-managed services offering. Maturity of the client Customer IT capabilitiesTechnical Controls Participation of client management What does the agreement say?

This week Bryan sits down with a law enforcement officer who rose to fame in Lower Alabama last year for speaking an uncomfortable truth after a young black girl was gunned down by a black man. The truth that he spoke which caused the buzz is that there is a subculture of gun violence with young black men in Alabama cities. This is a controversial subject and John Young does not shy away from hitting all the truths we all know but have been prevented from speaking for fear of being labeled racist. Buckle up, this episode is no holds barred. Behind The Scenes: John talks more about problems that plague the black community and what can be done about it.

Centuries of systematically racist American policy has pushed Black communities into enduring the worst impacts of fossil fuel pollution and climate change. In her new book, Before the Streetlights Come On: Black America's Urgent Call for Climate Solutions, Heather McTeer Toney outlines how Black Americans experience these injustices - from extreme heat to petrochemical toxins and many more. But as we confront the long history of environmental racism, how do we empower the most impacted communities to lead on climate solutions? In this conversation, McTeer Toney puts forth a plan and an understanding of why we need to attack these injustices with the greatest sense of urgency.  Heather McTeer is the Executive Director of Bloomberg's Beyond Petrochemicals Campaign. She has also served as the mayor of Greenville, Mississippi and Southeast Regional EPA Administrator.  Read Before the Streetlights Come On Learn more about the Beyond Petrochemicals Campaign Subscribe to our Substack newsletter "The Climate Weekly" As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

Extreme heat kills more people per year than any other climate disaster. It preys on the poor, exacerbates racial inequalities, and there is a growing body of evidence that shows women and girls are increasingly susceptible to heat-health effects. Globally, women and girls represent 80% of climate refugees. They are more likely to be displaced, suffer violence and die in natural disasters. As temperatures rise, children's test scores decrease, gender violence increases, and miscarriage rates go up. But preventing heat deaths is possible. From Europe to Africa, Chief Heat Officers throughout the world are implementing projects to make cities more climate-adaptive.  Guests: Kathy Baughman McLeod, Director, Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center; Senior VP, Atlantic Council  Eleni Myrivili, Global Chief Heat Officer, UN Habitat Eugenia Kargbo, Chief Heat Officer, Freetown, Sierra Leone  Freelance piece from Hellen Kabahukya on mud wattle construction in Uganda For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been a fun assignment over the years to speak for some professional football chapels, especially my old hometown team, the New York Giants. Of course it's pretty funny seeing me in a room with them. "Here's the New York Giants with special guest, "the little guy." But on several occasions I have been able to go to the game that same day with the team chaplain. In one game he leaned over to me and he said, "Now I want you to see one of the most powerful men in this stadium." There were 70,000 people there and I knew how powerful some of the men on the field were. And I wondered maybe if it was an owner or an executive. Nope! The chaplain pointed to this little man with a big bright orange glove on one hand. "Him?" "Yeah." He said, "Just watch." And after a play, that man stepped out on the field, put his orange-gloved hand on his chest and the game totally stopped. Now that is power! Who is that man? He represents the TV producers who are broadcasting this game all over the country. And when it's time to stop everything for the next commercial, He just steps out and shows his magic glove. Nothing resumes until he puts down that glove and steps back off the field. One guy - power over lots of big people! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Disproportionate Power for Your Disproportionate Challenge." That's what you have to call this kind of match up, or the kind talked about in our word for today from the Word of God. Joshua 23:10 - exciting words: "One of you routs a thousand because the Lord your God fights for you" just as He promised. Let's say you're a battlefield reporter. On one side you have a force of 1,000 people. On the other side, one little guy. Who's going to win this? Well, if the Lord God is fighting for that one guy, you will see the thousand running for their lives. That is disproportionate power. A biblical principle that opens up otherwise unthinkable possibilities for you, your family, your ministry, your church. The numbers are only slightly less lopsided when God says in Leviticus 26:8, "Five of you will chase a hundred and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand and your enemies will fall by the sword before you." When we were launching much of this ministry that our team is involved with today, we looked at the incredible work God has given us and then the comparatively small size of our team and we said, "How?" Then God gave us this verse. To this day it's still like five of us chasing a hundred because of the difference that a mighty God can make when He's fully trusted. In the unforgettable words of the invincible Apostle Paul in Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us." Right now you may be facing some overwhelming odds, or obstacles, or needs. They look very big and honestly you look very small beside them. But, that's where God's miracle math comes in. You plus God equals a majority, but if you try to anticipate the outcome based on earth math, you'll probably hold back, you'll probably miss the amazing thing God wants to do. His ancient people looked at the walls and the giants in the Promised Land and they said, "We feel like grasshoppers" (Numbers 13:33) so they gave up. But, two spies out of all those spies, Joshua and Caleb, looked at those same walls and giants and compared them to the size of their God rather than the size of themselves, and they were ready to go for it. But because earth math and earth odds prevailed, people who could have been living in the Promised Land ended up just surviving in the wilderness for forty years. Remember this disproportionate power and you'll be more likely to make God's will choices. Because the less there's going to be of you, and the more there's going to be of God, you know what that means. The greater the victory is going to be.
