Story at-a-glance Smoking before surgery significantly increases complications; current smokers have a 14% higher risk of post-surgical problems like infections and delayed healing Quitting smoking less than six weeks before surgery provides little benefit — patients need at least six weeks for their body to begin recovering from tobacco's damaging effects Young, otherwise healthy smokers are particularly at risk, with the highest smoking rates (26.8%) seen in patients aged 18 to 40 who often underestimate their vulnerability Smoking weakens immune defenses and promotes chronic inflammation by disrupting how immune cells function, creating an environment where infections thrive and healing slows Elective surgeries provide an ideal opportunity for smoking cessation, as the scheduled waiting period allows time for immune function and tissue oxygenation to improve

After years of advocacy from NRECA, Congress passed legislation in 2022 that allows electric co-ops to access federal tax credits for certain energy projects, including renewable power facilities, through an elective-pay option. These incentives can slash costs for co-ops to build, own and operate eligible generation and energy storage projects. Hear from NRECA's Hill Thomas as well as Doug Browne of North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives on how co-ops are reaping the benefits of these credits.

Every pregnant person deserves the information—and support—they need to make truly informed decisions about labor induction. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with Dr. Ann Peralta and Kari Radoff, CNM, co-creators of Partner to Decide, a nonprofit initiative improving decision-making in perinatal care. They discuss the creation of their free, multilingual decision aid that supports families in understanding their options around routine induction of labor—and empowers them to advocate for their values, preferences, and autonomy.   Ann shares how her own birth experience, shaped by access to education and privilege, sparked the creation of the tool. Kari offers insight into how the decision aid has changed conversations in clinical settings—bringing clarity, reducing bias, and fostering truly shared decision-making. Together, they illuminate how access to balanced information can reduce anxiety, improve trust, and shift the culture of perinatal care.   (03:02) What Is a Decision Aid and Why It Matters (07:12) Ann's Birth Story and the Origins of Partner to Decide (11:09) Gaps in Shared Decision-Making from a Provider's Perspective (14:24) Personal Values, Intuition, and Cultural Differences (18:19) Designing the Decision Aid with Equity and Accessibility (23:49) The Power of Absolute vs. Relative Risk in Birth Conversations (25:01) Surprising Patient Feedback: From Access to Empowerment (30:31) Provider Reflections and Challenging Bias (36:11) Why “Routine” Induction Language Matters (43:59) How to Respond to Pressure or Coercion Around Induction (46:16) How to Access the Free Decision Aid and Support New Tools   Resources Access the free Induction of Labor Decision Aid in seven languages: www.inductiondecisionaid.org Learn more about the nonprofit: www.partnertodecide.org For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Jure Sanguinis Update: A major "thank you" to one of our listeners for pointing out a recent decree from March 28th that affects birthright citizenship. Under the new ruling, the only people who are applicable are those with Italian parents who were born in Italy, those with Italian parents who lived in Italy for a minimum of 2 consecutive years before giving birth to you, and those with grandparents who were born in Italy. This isn't a law yet, just a decree, and the Italian government has until the end of May to pass it into a law or abolish it. We will update you all on it as it progresses! More of our mini-series "How To Live In Italy!" In this episode we talk about three of the major pathways to citizenship in Italy; the golden visa, elective residency visa (often called "the retirement visa"), and birthright citizenship (Jus Sanginis). Is the golden visa just for the uber rich? Sort of. Do I have to be of "retirement age" to apply for the elective residency visa? And finally, you've been told your whole life "we're Italian!" or maybe you just found out on an ancestry test, so how do you claim citizenship? We'll answer all of those question and more in this episode. We touched on the so called "retirement visa" in a previous episode, How To Live In Italy: Work Visa and Retirement Visa, but we wanted to mention it again because it can be a great option for people with outside income who are looking to live in Italy. And because *spoiler* there is no age restriction. For more info, you can check out Nathaniel's article "How to Move to Italy: The Ultimate Guide for Americans" on our website.

36 elective procedures were cancelled at Ennis General last year due to overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. New HSE figures show that 75% of cancellations occurred last August, when some day surgeries and outpatient appointments were deferred at Ennis, Nenagh, Croom and St. Johns due to high presentations at UHL's Emergency Department. There was only one instance in Ennis last year where a service had to be cancelled due to a lack of available bed spaces. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says improvements are needed.

Keep the fun going this summer with the Summertime elective Adventure! Join us on #CubChatLive as we take a closer look at this Adventure. We'll share creative tips and ideas to help you plan a memorable activity for Cub Scouts of all ages.

As we continue our Launch 25 series, this episode highlights four inspiring electives from four passionate disciple-makers. We begin with Brian, who reflects on two of Jesus' parables and what they mean for us as disciple-makers. Hannah then shares how she has seen prayer multiply in her journey with Afghans. Next, Sally introduces a creative way to engage people through Discovery Dinners. Finally, Roger introduces us to Sam who takes us to New Zealand, where groups are forming among Maori communities! Elective 1: Brian – What Would I Give Everything Up For? Brian explores what it means to be treasure hunters in the Kingdom, reflecting on Jesus' parables of the pearl of great price and the hidden treasure (Matt 13:44-46). He challenges us to consider what we are willing to give up for the sake of making disciples and reminds us that the greatest treasure is seeing lost people transformed by Jesus. “We have the opportunity to learn to love people we have never met, rather than just loving the people we've already met.” – Brian Elective 2: Hannah – Multiplying Prayer Hannah shares her journey of multiplying prayer while reaching Afghans. She encourages us in three key areas: 1. Team: Pray with others who share your heart. After joining a prayer-filled disciple-making community in Melbourne, Hannah developed a lifestyle of prayer. “If we are going to multiply prayer, we first need a lifestyle of prayer ourselves.” – Hannah 2. Prayer Partners: Have a support network backing you in prayer. Hannah built a team of intercessors to stand with her in prayer. 3. Mobilizing Prayer: Take practical steps to multiply prayer in your context. This could be prayer walking, committing to regular prayer times, or forming new prayer partnerships. Hannah's journey led her to pray on (or near) location for Afghanistan and later for the Afghan diaspora worldwide. Pray4Afghans Hannah also shares how her Pray4Afghans prayer initiative was birthed from this prayer: “What's it going to take to reach Afghans?”. God responded: “A people on their knees and an army of workers.” This initiative began with a three-day global prayer and fasting effort and has now grown into a monthly 24-hour prayer network, mobilising more people to step into intercession. Elective 3: Sally – Discovery Dinners Sally highlights to us the importance of identifying brokenness in our communities. “Address the brokenness before you address the lostness.” – Sally For her, in Sydney's Northern Beaches, it was a sense of purposelessness. She and her husband, Michael, started hosting what they call 'Discovery Dinners' —gatherings where people explore their life purpose through their own stories and the stories of Jesus. These dinners serve as a practical tool for both self-discovery and introducing people to Jesus, helping them connect their purpose with Him. Listen in to learn how Discovery Dinners work and click here to access some Discovery Dinner Resources to get you started. Elective 4: Roger & Sam – Starting Groups in the Harvest We hear firsthand stories from New Zealand, where groups are forming among Maori gangs. After a training led by Roger, Sam was stirred by a divine dissatisfaction. Inspired by a prophetic vision of a global disciple-making movement, Sam searched for a model that could scale. When he encountered Discovery Bible Study (DBS) through Roger's training, he knew he had found the answer. Sam started with his existing men's group, and soon DBS spread throughout the church, leading to multiplication. Over time, social change began to emerge—what Sam sees as an indicator of true movement. “Who is in your sphere of influence? Stay in that community and start a discovery group!” - Sam For more insights, check out Sam's website. “Plug into a wider DMM community. We thought we were alone, but of course, we weren't!” - Sam Listen in for practical wisdom and inspiring stories from these four elec...

Swimming is a fun activity for Cub Scouts of all ages. In this #CubChatLive, we'll dive into the swimming elective Adventures for every rank and show you how to plan safe and memorable activities for your pack.

In this episode of The VIP Voice, I sit down with the incredibly talented Oscar Torre—an actor and director whose career spans major productions like The Hangover Part III, The Haves and the Have Nots, Gaslit, and his directorial works Just a Man and a Woman and his latest creation, A Summer Night Movie.From Accidental Actor to Acclaimed TalentOscar's journey into acting wasn't planned—it was a twist of fate. What started as a last-minute elective course turned into a lifelong passion. He candidly shares how, in the beginning, he was nervous and, by his own admission, “pretty awful.” But through dedication and a deep commitment to authenticity, he transformed into a powerhouse performer.The Art of Fully Becoming the CharacterFor Oscar, acting is about total immersion. When the director calls “action,” he believes in immediate transformation—embracing the role with unwavering commitment. He also shares a key piece of wisdom: No matter your role, always act like the lead. He reflects on his experience in The Hangover Part III, where despite working alongside A-list stars like Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis, he remained focused on owning his presence on screen rather than getting caught up in starstruck moments.Stepping into Directing & Owning the VisionUnlike most first-time directors who start with short films, Oscar dove straight into a feature. Initially searching for a director, he eventually realized that no one understood the script's vision better than him—so he took the helm. This decision not only shaped the success of his films but also gave him a newfound respect for directing, teaching him how a director's leadership sets the tone for a production—either fostering peace or creating chaos.Building Strong Relationships in FilmOscar emphasizes the critical importance of relationships on set, particularly between the director and director of photography—a dynamic that can make or break a production. He shares how overcoming challenges, including nearly losing his mother during filming, shaped his perspective on resilience in the industry.The Surprising Connection Between COVID & OnlyFansOne of the most unexpected turns in our conversation? How the pandemic sparked a surge in OnlyFans content—giving people a new way to connect and financially sustain themselves. This trend became the foundation for his latest project, A Summer Night Movie, which was conceptualized during the production of Just a Man and a Woman. Golden Advice for Aspiring FilmmakersOscar leaves us with a powerful takeaway: You don't need to have it all figured out—just take action. Surround yourself with people who understand the craft, continuously refine your skills, and never wait for opportunities to be handed to you. True professionals stand out by their ability to repeat excellence—even after 15 takes.This episode is a must-listen for actors, directors, and creatives looking to break barriers in the entertainment industry!Tune in now to hear Oscar Torre's unfiltered journey into Hollywood's spotlight!#Podcast #OscarTorre #ActingTips #Hollywood #Filmmaking #MovieDirector #TheVIPVoice #BehindTheScenes #ActingJourney #FilmIndustry #CreativeMindset #IndependentFilm #HollywoodInsider #ActorLife #DirectingBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

It's Monday, January 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 20 Pakistani Christians remain imprisoned for blasphemy against Mohammad An International Christian Concern analysis of data from the United States Commission on Religious Freedom found that 20 Christians have remained behind bars in Pakistan for a total of 134 years for the crime of blasphemy against the false prophet Muhammad. Between 2002 and 2023, the Christians were detained or imprisoned in separate cases for alleged crimes, including “insulting the Prophet Muhammad,” a crime punishable by death under Pakistani law, “desecrating the Quran,” and “intending to outrage religious feelings.” All 20 remain incarcerated to this day.  One of the Christians, Asif Pervaiz, reportedly sent a text message to his manager at a factory that was deemed insulting to the false prophet Muhammad. Pervaiz was detained in 2013 and sentenced in 2020. The court order in Pervaiz's case, viewed by Reuters, stated that the Christian “shall be hanged by his neck till his death” for “misusing” his phone.  In another case, friends Adil Babar and Simon Nadeem, both teenagers at the time of their arrest in 2023, were detained for allegedly calling a dog “Muhammad Ali.” Judge gives Trump 'unconditional discharge' to respect presidency On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump in his historic hush money case to an unconditional discharge -- allowing Trump to avoid prison, fines or probation, but cementing his status as a convicted felon just 10 days before he takes the oath of office for his second term, reports ABC News. During a brief virtual hearing, New York prosecutors blasted Trump for engaging in a "direct attack on the rule of law" and making efforts to "undermine its legitimacy" by attacking the judge and others involved in the case. Trump's defense team, which vowed to appeal, said the case should never have been brought and called it a "sad day for this country." The President-elect was sentenced on Friday after a New York jury convicted him in May on 34 felony counts of “falsifying business records” to conceal a payment to a former adult film star. Trump has repeatedly maintained his innocence throughout the trial, characterizing the case as a “weaponization of our justice system.” Judge Merchan said the unconditional discharge was the "only lawful sentence" to protect "the office of the president ... not the occupant of the office." 2,500 pro-life doctors challenge Biden's pro-abortion mandate Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a federal lawsuit on Friday against the Biden administration for trying to force emergency room doctors to perform abortions under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, reports LifeNews.com. In the case, ADF attorneys representing the Catholic Medical Association, a national network of 2,500 pro-life physicians and health care providers, argued that the mandate violates members' conscience rights and oversteps executive authority. After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and gave health care decision-making power back to the states in the Dobbs decision, the Biden administration announced its intention to force doctors to perform abortions under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. Shortly after the announcement, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a memorandum stating that it grants the administration authority to override state pro-life laws, even though the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act does not mention abortion. ADF Senior Counsel Matt Bowman said, “Doctors—especially in emergency rooms—are tasked with preserving life.  Federal bureaucrats have no business compelling doctors or hospitals to end unborn lives, especially when the law they are citing grants them no such authority. Emergency room physicians can and do treat life-threatening conditions such as ectopic pregnancies. And every state allows doctors to do whatever is necessary to preserve the life of a mother.” Bowman concluded, “Elective abortion is not life-saving care—it ends the life of the unborn child—and the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act does not grant the government authority to force doctors to perform these dangerous procedures. Rather, it requires doctors to treat a pregnant woman and her ‘unborn child.'” Psalm 127:3 says, “Truly, children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward.” While Los Angeles burns, CA House Speaker invests $25 million to fight Trump Los Angeles is engulfed in flames, 16 people have died. and more than 10,000 structures have burned to the ground because of dry hydrants thanks to Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, yet California's Democrat lawmakers will allocate $25 million to California's Justice Department to fight the incoming Trump administration, reports the Gateway Pundit. Ashley Zavala, the KRCA News California Capitol Correspondent, was incredulous. She confronted California's Democratic State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. ZAVALA:  “Is now the right time to have a special legislative session on allocating money to fight Trump in a way that you could already do without a special legislative session?” Rivas was reduced to a stuttering mess as he tried to justify his actions. RIVAS: “So I'm, you know, I'm here to address this, this, you know, these, these, these, these wildfires. This is a historic, historic wildfire. (crosstalk) This is, this is a historic, this is historic event. These wildfires, as I mentioned, are going to be quite possibly, be some of the worst wildfires and disasters in the State and national history.” ZAVALA:  “But minutes ago, while this wildfire is happening, and while people are trying to understand what's going on and are worried about disaster relief, worried about the ability to get homeowners insurance, your chamber gaveled into a special legislative session to prepare for Donald Trump in a way that you are already able to do without a special legislative session. So again, is now the right time for that?” RIVAS: “So, certainly our focus right now as speaker, Ashley, at this moment, my colleagues and I, we are acting with great urgency, great urgency, to ensure that we're providing much-needed relief, um, to Angelinos to ensure that that that, that we, you know, understand what it's going to take for that, for for for this region to recover.” Samaritan's Purse ready to help fire victims And finally, as deadly wildfires tragically consume some of California's metropolitan areas, Samaritan's Purse is prayerfully standing by to offer help in Jesus' Name. Once local officials give the word that it is safe to enter the affected areas, they will mobilize teams of volunteers to aid hurting homeowners.

You're not demanding it. You're not saying it's dogma, but you're having a conversation so the patient understands. Because what happens if you don't is you do your work, you're doing it in best faith. Patient winds up in pain, and they become very angry. Teaser:They become agitated, and they want to blame the dentist. And without a conversation, without a dialogue, they're clueless, and all of a sudden, they just think you did something wrong. You are a human, and you are the doctor. Speak to yourself. Let the words flow out so that you can explain all the different possibilities in a way that the patient feels heard, understood, but also nurtured, and at the same time you realize this is biology. We are not in control. Jaz's Introduction:In a world where we want to do everything to preserve pulp vitality, is it ever appropriate to carry out elective endodontics? Another terminology that our guest today, Dr. Brett Gilbert shared with me is preemptive endodontics. For example, you have a tooth with dubious pulpal prognosis. And you know that by prepping it for a crown or by removing the caries, this tooth may need root canal treatment. Is it okay to just go ahead and do the root canal so it doesn't bite you in the behind in the future? You see, I was always taught to do everything possible to preserve pulp vitality.
