The 2025 Trafficking in Persons Report has been released by the State Department of the United States, and Marcel van der Watt (President and CEO at NCOSE) joins Haley McNamara (Executive Director and CSO at NCOSE) and Dani Pinter (CLO and Director of the NCOSE Law Center) to talk about some of the surprises in this 25th edition of the annual report. Each year, it ranked countries into tiers based on their efforts to combat trafficking, and our team dives into why some of these rankings seem to miss the mark. They also watch and react to the recent video from Joseph Gordon-Levitt about the dangers of A.I. and how we need to stand up and make sure our voices are heard at every level of government.  Learn more about NCOSE's efforts to fight Demand: https://endsexualexploitation.org/demand Read the 2025 TIP Report: https://www.state.gov/reports/2025-trafficking-in-persons-report/ Watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt's NYT video: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CSdXtNaVN/

On this episode: Several states are moving to redraw their congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms, reviving a practice that has happened before but rarely on this scale. Texas has already acted, with Republicans pushing through a new map that could net them multiple House seats. In response, Democrats in California are advancing a ballot measure that would suspend the state's independent commission and open the door to a more favorable map of their own. As a result, nearly a dozen states are engaged in redistricting efforts of their own, with huge implications not just for the balance of power in the House — but the Americans who live in the districts in question. To break down what's happening and why it matters, Erin Covey — Editor of U.S. House coverage at the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter — explains the political strategies at play and the legal uncertainties that surround them. She walks through the domino effect of Texas's decision, how California, Missouri, Ohio, and Utah fit into the bigger picture, and why deadlines in other states are quickly closing in.At the same time, a looming Supreme Court case from Louisiana could reshape the legal boundaries for redistricting nationwide.The case revisits Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and carries major implications for how states consider race when drawing districts — with potential ripple effects across the South and beyond.Read Erin Covey's analysis for The Cook Political Report: https://www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/house/redistricting/2025-2026-redistricting-tracker-how-many-seats-could-flip-0 Learn more about the latest redistricting efforts on our site: https://ballotpedia.org/Redistricting_ahead_of_the_2026_electionsComplete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

For decades, the U.S. has tried to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Those efforts, despite the deep passion among the mediators and the endless work with both sides, ultimately failed.

 Last month, Oregon became the first state in the nation to be verified for its accessibility for travelers with disabilities by the travel website Wheel the World. The company worked with Travel Oregon to assess hundreds of hotels, restaurants, tourism providers and state parks in seven regions across the state for their accessibility. That includes features like step-free entrances at museums or specialized wheelchairs available to venture onto a beach on the Oregon Coast.    But the state’s efforts to promote its accessibility doesn’t mean that barriers don’t still exist for travelers with physical or neurocognitive disabilities. Small hotel owners and tourism operators may also lack awareness about best practices to engage with these travelers or struggle with how to become more accessible online and in person.    To address these gaps, researchers at Southern Oregon University recently received a grant from Travel Oregon to develop and roll out training workshops at 12 locations across the state for travel industry professionals and other stakeholders. The training includes guidance on best practices and role-playing exercises where participants can experience, for example, what it’s like to navigate a carpeted hotel lobby in a wheelchair or to receive information during an emergency as a person who is hard of hearing.    The goal of these trainings and the education they provide is to create a statewide network of “Accessible Tourism Ambassadors,” according to Pavlina McGrady, an associate professor in the school of business at Southern Oregon University. McGrady and Rebecca Williams, an assistant professor in the school of business at SOU, join us for more details. Ulysses McCready, a junior at SOU who is blind, also shares his perspective about inclusive tourism and the assistance he provided McGrady and Williams on their project.

In this episode I talk about what led me to take a long-admired guru off his pedestal and how that simple action bolstered my sense of self-worth. Fundamental to this is how AI can be a sparring partner that sparks curiosity, but when used lazily it becomes nothing more than serving up a microwave meal and calling yourself a chef.   We introverts may be tempted to lean on it when our batteries are drained, but that is where the danger of cognitive offloading creeps in. Stop using the muscle and it will wither. Convenience is silently reshaping our intellectual architecture, but we do not have to let it.   Guard your creativity like treasure, use AI mindfully if you must, but never trade away your original thinking.   ** Key Points ** Guard creativity fiercely Cognitive offloading may be dangerous Don't trade brilliance away   #AuthenticExpression #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit this link to access Brilliant Battery Boosters https://flourishingessentials.me/  Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Preview: Colonel Grant Newsham (US Marine Corps retired) discusses the strategy of South Korean left-wing president Yoon Suk Yeol, which involves flattering Donald Trump to focus him on peace efforts.

Have you ever felt like if you can't do something perfectly, then what's the point in even trying? Like if you miss one workout or eat one “bad” meal, then the whole week is a wash and you might as well go all in with the cookies and call it a day? Have you ever wondered: “Am I even capable of change if I can't do it all right?” Well, what if I told you that perfection is not required to make real progress? What if you could actually mess up, skip some workouts, eat dessert—and still lose weight and feel better in your body? In today's episode, we're diving into some eye-opening research from Precision Nutrition—where they analyzed almost a million data points from real people just like you. We'll cover: How even small, inconsistent efforts lead to real weight loss and better health. Why aiming for “perfect” might actually slow you down. Simple strategies to stop falling into the all-or-nothing trap and start moving forward—imperfectly, but effectively. So if you're tired of feeling like you have to either be all in or totally off the wagon, stay tuned—because we're about to flip that belief on its head.

In a recent episode of “At Your Convenience” podcast, CSP's Abbey Lewis spoke with Kara Calderon, head of underage access prevention at Reynolds, and Stephanie Sikorski, CEO of TrueAge, about the collaborative efforts to prevent underage access to tobacco and nicotine products. The conversation highlighted how industry partnerships between manufacturers, retailers and technology providers have contributed to lower rates of underage tobacco use. Reynolds' strict marketing protocols and contractual obligations with retailers, combined with TrueAge's innovative age verification technology, have created an ecosystem that effectively prevents youth access to age-restricted products. The discussion also addressed current challenges, including the rise of illicit vape products targeting youth, and future initiatives to strengthen underage access prevention efforts.

Investigators are still examining the motives driving Thomas Jacob Sanford, who opened fire on a Mormon church in Michigan, killing four people. Yet White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt quickly link the killing to an alleged rash of anti-Christian violence. “This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians,” Leavitt insisted, amplifying a similar claim by President Trump. Yet this is backfiring: Evidence quickly emerged that the shooter may well be a Trump supporter motivated by anti-Mormon bigotry in particular. While it's of course possible for someone to be a Trump supporter and also target Christians, Leavitt was plainly trying to turn this to the political advantage of Trump and the MAGA movement, and that's gone awry. We talked to Sarah Posner, author of good books about the religious right, who explains how this all sheds light on a bigger story that we saw at play after Charlie Kirk's assassination, too. It's that Trump-MAGA relentlessly inculcate a sense of persecution among their armies of Evangelical supporters, to rally them for religious war against the Democratic, liberal, secular enemy within. Thus far, in this case, the facts aren't cooperating.  Looking for More from the DSR Network? Click Here: https://linktr.ee/deepstateradio Learn more about your ad choices.

   I had to wait a couple days to actually make sure the story of the Superintendent of the Des Moines School District is true.  It's so outrageously unbelievable that ICE picked him up and arrested him that it can only be the beginning of many, many more white collar scammers in our country getting caught.    President Trump scores another big settlement against a media giant and is creating quite a large bankroll for his presidential library.   It comes on the heels of a possible government shutdown for "non essential" agencies and employees at midnight tonight.  Count me in. I voted for ending non-essential.    The NFL appears to have an "effort" problem from several players this past weekend and its something they've never had to deal with.  They'd better get their arms around this fast or they would be risking the core reason people love the league.    The Chiefs defense continues to get zero credit as they reached another milestone streak on Sunday, the baseball playoffs start with a couple epic wild card series and our Final Final is a celebrity couple on the rocks.

It has been annus horribilis for Hezbollah.They were struck by a deadly pager attack, Israel launched a devastating air and ground campaign against the group, and their long-time leader was killed in an Israeli airstrike. The war left Hezbollah battered and broken, and now, the Lebanese government is moving in to clear up the arms, which is taking place under the shadow of continued Israeli airstrikes.At the start of September, the Lebanese army presented its plan to disarm Hezbollah once and for all to the cabinet. While welcomed by much of the cabinet, Hezbollah rejected the notion.This week on The New Arab Voice we examine the state of Hezbollah today. How are the Lebanese state disarming the group? And what is the future of the self-styled resistance movement in Lebanon?We're joined by David Wood, Senior Analyst for Lebanon at International Crisis Group (@CrisisGroup); and Paul Salem, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute (@MiddleEastInst).This podcast is written and produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge).Theme music by Omar al-Fil with additional music from Audio Network.To get in touch with the producers, follow then tweet us at @TNAPodcasts or email podcast@newarab.com Hosted on Acast.

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Right Effort, the 6th step on the Noble Eightfold Path, is not about striving or straining, it is about learning to guide the mind with wisdom and care. In this talk, we reflect on the Four Great Efforts: 1) Preventing the arising of unwholesome states, 2) Abandoning those that have already arisen, 3) Cultivating wholesome qualities, 4) Extending and nourishing wholesome states that are present. These four ways of applying effort, remembered with the acronym PACE, offer a clear and practical way to work with unwholesomeness and support wholesomeness.

We challenge contemporary perceptions of Yemen as a "backwater" by revealing the pivotal role of its port city, Mocha, in the making of our modern world. Historian Nancy Um delves into the fascinating history of coffee, from its origins in 15th-century Yemen to its global spread and the economic transformations it spurred. She explores the rich maritime trade routes of the Indian Ocean, highlighting Yemen's centrality as a crossroads for goods, ideas, and people long before European influence. Um discusses the Ottoman Empire's cultivation of coffee in Yemen, the rise and decline of Mocha as a trade hub, and the unique cultural adaptations of coffee consumption within Yemen itself, such as the popular Qishr drink. We also touch upon the broader impact of hot beverages and porcelain on global social and consumption patterns, revealing how these everyday items were once revolutionary technologies. Um shares insights into the ongoing efforts to revive Yemen's coffee industry and offers recommendations for further reading on Yemen's vibrant history. 0:00 Mocha: A Bustling 17th-18th Century Trade Center0:50 Yemen's Monopoly on Coffee2:46 Nancy Um's Interest in Maritime Trade and Yemen3:40 Yemen's Historical Significance Beyond Recent Decades5:51 What Made Mocha a Prime Trade Hub?7:58 Mocha's Rival: Aden8:11 The History of Coffee as a Drink10:01 Debunking Coffee Origin Myths: The Story of Kaldi and the Goats12:20 Coffee as a Hot Brewed Beverage from Yemen12:32 The Evolution of Coffee as a Commodity and Social Habit13:21 Early Suspicion and Prohibitions Against Coffee14:41 The Global Journey of the Coffee Plant15:57 The Dutch and Coffee Cultivation in Java17:22 Yemen's Shifting Coffee Fortunes18:14 The Ottomans and Yemen's Coffee Cultivation19:06 Ottoman Control of the Red Sea Trade20:37 Diversification of Trade Beyond Coffee21:37 European Influence on Mocha's Popularity22:21 Qishr: Yemen's Unique Coffee Husk Drink (aka Cascara)24:19 Efforts to Rebuild Yemen's Coffee Industry26:01 The Red Sea Trade Route's Enduring Importance29:02 The Indian Ocean: A Space of Exchange and Imagination30:51 Reconsidering Land-Based vs. Water-Based Cultural Identities33:20 Nationalizing Watery Metaphors and Icons35:10 Historical Naming Conventions and Cultural Continuities37:39 Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate: Technologies Reshaping Society40:30 The Coffee House and the Enlightenment42:07 The Decline of Mocha as an Economic Hub43:10 Beneficiaries of Mocha's Decline44:58 Challenge of Contradictory Stories in Historical Narratives47:20 Disproving Coffee Plant Smuggling Myths50:27 Misunderstandings About Yemen's History51:34 Book Recommendations on Yemen53:56 Access to Local Historical Documents in Yemen Nancy Um is Associate Director for Research and Knowledge Creation at the Getty Research Institute.

  As with virtually all natural disasters, public funds and programs are at the heart of the ongoing recovery effort from Hurricane Helene.

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Right Effort, the 6th step on the Noble Eightfold Path, is not about striving or straining, it is about learning to guide the mind with wisdom and care. In this talk, we reflect on the Four Great Efforts: 1) Preventing the arising of unwholesome states, 2) Abandoning those that have already arisen, 3) Cultivating wholesome qualities, 4) Extending and nourishing wholesome states that are present. These four ways of applying effort, remembered with the acronym PACE.

Listen alongs as we continue through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 15:22-41 2 Timothy 2:22  “Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer  Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone. - Dallas Willard “They dwell in their own countries, but simply as sojourners. As citizens, they share in all things with others, and yet endure all things as if foreigners. Every foreign land is to them as their native country, and every land of their birth as a land of strangers. They marry, as do all; they beget children; but they do not destroy their offspring. They have a common table, but not a common bed. They are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws by their lives. They love all men, and are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned; they are put to death, and restored to life. They are poor, yet make many rich; they are in lack of all things, and yet abound in all; they are dishonored, and yet in their very dishonor are glorified” Epistle to Diognetus (2nd Century) Matthew 23:1-12 The early church understood well the powers at work in the Roman Empire. There were many gods who ruled and oppressed its citizens. Among them were Aphrodite (goddess of sex), Hephaetus (god of technology), Mars (god of war), Ploutos (god of wealth), and Bacchus (god of pleasure). At the top of the ladder, and unifying them all, was political power, deified in the Caesar, and nourished by the Imperial theology and religious practice. The powers and gods were the forces that most determined and shaped their lives. The church understood the oppressive and intrusive influence of evil. They understood the comprehensive scope and spiritual power of these cosmic powers to tyrannize their lives. Perhaps we shake our heads at the primitive and childish worldview that could ever conceive of a world populated by powers. After all, science has liberated us from such nonsense. Yet when we see millions addicted to pornography, it seems the goddess of sex is not dead. When we see millions of lives trivialized and emptied of significance by addiction to technology, we observe that the god of technology still wields power. When we experience the seductive power of a consumer society that inflames us with a desire for the senseless consumption of goods and experiences, we must grant that the gods of wealth and pleasure are alive and well. And the billions of dollars spent annually on arms betray our enslavement to the gods of war and national security. Economic forces, political powers, sexual addiction, technological seduction: it seems we are helpless before these powers. All scientific attempts to control them have failed. - Mike Goheen “God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.” Augustine
