Well Sh*t. It really is that simple - Episode 145 - "When your help is actually a hinderance" is now LIVE!Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuideIt can be challenging for us to know what we need to meet our needs at any given moment and yet we often forget this, especially when it comes to suggestions. We can be so eager to jump in and "help" that we don't realize we could not only be negatively impacting the person we're trying to support but also our relationship with them and our own needs as well. Tune into this week's episode where we will discuss how to better support those around you while supporting yourself in the process.In this episode we cover:- Compromising our needs to meet our needs- Mr. Razzle Dazzle's first on screen cameo- When wanting to help and support can have the opposite effect- Getting buried in noodles - The fundamental components to offering help- The impact suggestions can have on your relationships- What it means to throw noodles- Claire learns about the "Oooodea" for the first time- Enacting our Personal Power - Timing is everything- How options, and how their managed, can affect your relationship orbits- The importance of asking questions- The ideal number of options- Embracing the weird- Avoiding rescuer modeEpisode References:- The episode where we talk about the relationship orbits - Episode 17 - What to do when you're waiting for an apology that will never come- The episode where we talk about impact over intention - Episode 41 - Why your intention REALLY doesn't matter…- The feedback episode - 134 - What if feedback could be the ultimate gift?

Are you interested in urban food production approaches? Summary of the article titled Validating the City Region Food System Approach: Enacting inclusive, transformational City Region Food Systems from 2018, by Alison Blay-Palmer, Guido Santini, Marielle Dubbeling, Henk Renting, Makiko Taguchi, and Thierry Giordano, published in the MDPI Sustainability journal.This is a great preparation to our next panel conversation in episode 300 about urban food production with Adam Dorr, Nadun Hennayaka and Simon Burt. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we can improve urban food systems. This article presents the history and potential future of City Region Food Systems to allow cross-sector engagement and collaboration for better urban futures.Find the article through this link.Abstract: This paper offers a critical assessment of the value and utility of the evolving City Region Food Systems (CRFS) approach to improve our insights into flows of resources—food, waste, people, and knowledge—from rural to peri-urban to urban and back again, and the policies and process needed to enable sustainability. This paper reflects on (1) CRFS merits compared to other approaches; (2) the operational potential of applying the CRFS approach to existing projects through case analysis; (3) how to make the CRFS approach more robust and ways to further operationalize the approach; and (4) the potential for the CRFS approach to address complex challenges including integrated governance, territorial development, metabolic flows, and climate change. The paper begins with the rationale for CRFS as both a conceptual framework and an integrative operational approach, as it helps to build increasingly coherent transformational food systems. CRFS is differentiated from existing approaches to understand the context and gaps in theory and practice. We then explore the strength of CRFS through the conceptual building blocks of ‘food systems' and ‘city-regions' as appropriate, or not, to address pressing complex challenges. As both a multi-stakeholder, sustainability-building approach and process, CRFS provides a collective voice for food actors across scales and could provide coherence across jurisdictions, policies, and scales, including the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, the Sustainable Development Goals, the Habitat III New Urban Agenda, and the Conference of the Parties (COP) 21. CRFS responds directly to calls in the literature to provide a conceptual and practical framing for policy through wide engagement across sectors that enables the co-construction of a relevant policy frame that can be enacted through sufficiently integrated policies and programs that achieve increasingly sustainable food systems.Connecting episodes you might be interested in: No.220 - Interview with Simon Burt about the need for education about food No.222 - Interview with Adam Dorr about urban food production opportunities No.278 - Interview with Nadun Hennayaka about vertical farmingYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What wast the most interesting part for you?

Bodhisattva Activity is enacting vows to free all beings as well as yourself. This is an acknowledgment that you are interdependent with all beings and things, and such an aspiration can give a sense of purpose and direction to your whole life. Of course, it's impossible to fulfill this vow literally, and when you try to put it into action it is no easy matter! It requires tangible engagement with the world, including other people. If you hide out in comfort, you're unlikely to transcend self-centeredness. If you rely only on your own resources, you're likely to exhaust yourself and limit your impact. How do you even decide what Bodhisattva Activity to undertake? There is much to be learned by practicing in this Field of Zen, which inoculates you against the delusion that you can attain true peace of mind by ignoring the suffering of others.

Wrapping Up the Case.By kittybeaver, in 5 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Tina was gone, if she had ever existed in the first place. Now there was only the Tinatron, just one of the many moving parts in the Harmony machine. The parts worked together in perfect balance, creating harmony for the world. There was no machine more important than the Harmony machine. When it failed to work, the world descended into chaos. It was an enormous machine, for an enormous job. The Tinatron was only a small part, but her task was vital.Connected to the rest of the Harmony machine via a piston, the Tinatron's job was to produce the actual harmony. The piston pumped in and out of her receiving pipe, making a high pitched whistle as it moved. Inside the Tinatron, little explosions powered her gears, turning them round and round."Wheeeeeee." The piston pumped into her."Oog chuh, oog chuh." The gears spun inside her. The harmony grew, building on itself, expanding. Only when it was ready, would the Tinatron release it to the world."Wheeeeeee.""Oog chuh, oog chuh."The harmony vibrated, pulsing with each thrust from the piston."Oo gchuh, oog chuh.""Wheeeeee."The dials on the Tinatron spun. Lights flashed. The piston picked up speed."Wheeeee. Wheeeee. Wheeeee.""Oog chuh, oog chuh, oog chuh, oog chuh."The explosions were getting bigger, coming faster. The gears strained to keep up.When the big one hit, it shook the Tinatron, rattling the gears inside her. She felt the harmony rapidly expand, filling her support beams, before condensing. She opened her mouth and coughed it out, a small triangle the size and color of candy corn.Tina watched as the candy corn disappeared in front of her eyes, to be replaced by the dirty, yellow bed spread.Behind her, Dirk fell sideways, his head landing with a thud on a pillow.He looked awful, his skin pale, his hair damp with sweat. His chest heaved up and down as he tried to catch his breath. Tina didn't feel much better. The poison wasn't only affecting their minds, it was taking a toll on their bodies as well."Almost there," Fact-Tel said. "Stay strong. This will be over soon.""One way or another," Dirk murmured.Tina crawled over to him and carefully lay down, stretching her body out next to his. Her joints ached from the effort. But that didn't stop her from scooching closer to Dirk when he reached for her and laying her head on his shoulders."Don't fall asleep," Fact-Tel said. "Stay awake. Please."She tilted her head up so she could look Dirk in the eyes, his pale green eyes. She loved those eyes. "I'm sorry.""What for?" He brushed an errant strand of hair off of her face."You wouldn't be in this situation," she said, "if I hadn't recruited you for the SWSO.""What else was I going to do?" he said, his voice slow from exhaustion. "My career as a male model had hit a wall, my mother was conducting illegal experiments on me and I'm pretty sure my father was going to force me into an arranged marriage. This is better."She touched his check with the tip of her finger; she wasn't sure why. "Still, ""Shush." He smiled at her. Even sick and dying, his smile was so brilliant it could light up her heart. "This is better."Tina wasn't sure if she was the one to initiate the kiss or if Dirk had. It didn't really matter. They both wanted it. They both needed it. In what looked to be the last moments of their lives, the last moments of their sanity, they comforted each other.This, she thought, as her tongue gently brushed his, this is the moment I'll take to my grave. This is all I want to remember.She rolled onto her back and he followed her lead, moving with her and nestling himself between her thighs. Reaching down between them, she stroked him and guided him in.The moment they became one, everything made sense. The way he moved inside her, how he looked down at her with his pale green eyes. Dirk was everything to her. He was all she needed in her life."I love you," she said. If she was going to die, Tina wanted these to be her last words. "I love you, Dirk."He smiled down at her. "And I love cunt heaven.""Oh." She turned her head to look at all the winged vaginas flying past. "Is that where we are?" One flew particularly close, hovering over the bedspread. "What are you up to, little lady?" Tina asked.It responded by jabbing her in the neck with a hypodermic needle.Tina wrapped her hands around her mug and let the heat from the coffee warm her fingers. Her head still ached with an antidote hangover but that hadn't stopped her from getting to work on time, unlike Dirk.It wasn't that she was mad at him for being late, just worried. His accreditation exam was in an hour. Was he going to make it in time? Had he been able to study the rest of the regulations handbook? Did he know about rule 96 yet?Part of her, the selfish part, hoped he hadn't been able to get through the manual. It meant he'd fail the exam, but he could always take it again next year. They'd have that time together. Dirk would learn to be a better secret agent and Tina could introduce him slowly to Rule 96, explaining why it was necessary. He might not like it at first, but he'd come around eventually.At least that's what she hoped, but her hopes were dashed ten minutes later when Dirk walked into SWSO headquarters and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"Tina took a sip of her coffee and pretended she didn't know what he was talking about. "Tell you what?" She was such a coward."One of the rules. I can't do it. I can't follow it." He walked to her desk and dropped the manual down in front of her."Which one?" She could feel her heart sinking in her chest as she watched Dirk open the book and flip the pages to the back."This one." He pointed to a paragraph.Tina sighed with relief. Dirk didn't have a problem with Rule 96. He was pointing to Rule 94. Everything was going to be alright."Unless given special exemption, agents are required," she read, "to put on clean underwear every morning." She looked up at him. "At your age this should not be an issue.""Wrong page. Sorry." He turned the page and pointed straight at Rule 96. "We're not allowed to feel love?"She swallowed and gripped her mug tightly between her hands. "That's not true," she said. "We're allowed to feel love: love of country, love of duty and love of sacrifice.""And you're ok with that?" His eyes searched hers, as if he was trying to find the answer he wanted in her gaze. "You don't need more?"Tina took a deep breath. Yes, she'd been struggling with her feelings for Dirk the past few weeks, but she had a duty to the SWSO and to the world. She wouldn't let them down. She wouldn't give in to her weakness."It's dangerous to feel more," she explained. "If an enemy discovers you care more for one individual than everyone else is the whole world, they can use that against you.""So, that's it?" he asked. "What you said yesterday was a lie?"Tina felt the hairs stand up on the back of her neck. The memories of being under the influence of the neural toxin were vague and confusing. Except for one moment. When she closed her eyes, she could see it clearly. Dirk looking down at her while she spilled the secrets of her heart to him."You were hallucinating yesterday," she said. "I'm not sure I know what you're talking about.""Oh." He looked away from her. "Ok.""So we're good?""I guess.""Good." She smiled at him. "The exam starts in half an hour. Are you ready?""No." Dirk took the gun out from where he'd tucked it into the waistband of his jeans and laid it on her desk. Next he removed the communicator from behind his ear. "I'm not cut out to be a secret agent. I think what you do, what the SWSO does, is important, but it's not right for me.""Don't jump to anything rash." She stood up and reached for his hand, but he evaded her touch. "Take some time to think about it.""No." He rubbed the back of his hand over his mouth. "This is better, a clean break. I'm sorry."There was nothing to say after that. He turned and walked out of the office."Go after him," Fact-Tel said. Its mechanical voice was tinged with urgency. "Get him back."Tina laughed a sad, lonely laugh. "I thought you'd be happy to see him go.""Normally, yeah, except news just came over the police radio," the A.I. informed her. "Delia Villa-Allen escaped from prison.""Oh no." Tina rushed for the door. "Dirk's in danger."He was gone by the time she made it to the sidewalk. A stiff gust of wind was enough to tell her he'd used his inhuman speed to get away from her as fast as he could.Without thinking, she started to jog after him. She knew his address. If she needed to, she'd go to his apartment.Delia Villa-Allen hadn't been happy her son helped put her in prison. And she probably knew more than anyone else about Dirk's mysterious super powers. She might even know how to incapacitate him.Tina's blood ran cold at the thought. She picked up her speed and turned down an alley for a short cut.What would win out, a mother's love or a maniacal scientist's thirst for revenge?She had to find Dirk and get him back to SWSO headquarters where he'd be safe."Agent Blondell?" a voice called behind her.Tina stopped and reached for her gun, but it wasn't there.She'd been so focused on catching up with Dirk, she'd left her gun in her desk drawer. She cursed under her breath, furious at herself for making such a rookie mistake. It didn't matter. She was well trained in several forms of martial arts. Tina could defend herself."Who's asking?" She spun around to see a nondescript form."Allow me to introduce myself," the person said. "I'm General Zero."The End.Dirk took a step back, wiped the sweat from his forehead and studied the engine again. He'd been working on the car all day, trying to fix the problem with the doohickey that fed into the whatchamacallit. It was clogged or cracked or maybe even clogracked. Whatever the problem was, he wasn't going to give up. He'd fix that damn car if it took the rest of his life."Dirk?" a tentative yet seductive voice called.He looked up to see Tina Blondell in the open doorway. She stood in the shadows, but the sun streamed in behind her, silhouetting her curvy body and turning her blonde hair into a golden halo. She walked forward a couple paces until the light of the overhead lamp illuminated her.Holy Gosh, but she was beautiful with her large, brown eyes and her pert, little nose. She wore cutoff jeans and a white, flimsy halter top. Her shorts were so short, not even a centimeter of thigh was covered. Her halter top was so flimsy, Dirk knew the exact location and size of her nipples."I can't let you leave the SWSO," she said, her scarlet painted lips carefully forming each word. "Come back to me."He wanted to kiss those perfect lips and nip at them with his teeth. He wanted to run his filthy hands over her pristine skin, squeezing her soft flesh and sinking his pinky into her bellybutton. But he stood his ground. He wouldn't fall into Tina's trap."No," he said. "Not on these terms. Not with Rule 96.""Does this help?" She reached behind her neck and pulled the knot of her halter top loose. The garment fell away from her, leaving her large, gorgeous breasts exposed to the world."Yes," Dirk said. "That helps a lot. In any situation. Seriously, I can't think of a single circumstance where this" - He gestured to her breasts. - "doesn't make it better. But I'm not going to change my mind."

President Donald Trump wasted no time in enacting his conservative “America First” agenda upon returning to the White House on Monday. He signed dozens of executive orders that will impact many aspects of life in America, from transgender rights to immigration and from energy policy to federal employment. Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords and the World Health Organization, though many believe the U.S.' absence in these organizations will be advantageous to America's rivals, like China. Plus, a look at what we know about the president's immigration policy following the declaration of a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the U.S.

On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Donald Trump has begun overturning the entire Biden legacy one executive order at a time. After four long years, America is back on track! Trump calls out California Governor Gavin Newsom directly by stepping in and helping California without him. A female bishop takes the opportunity during service to preach directly to Donald Trump in an attempt to grandstand. The Left is now attacking Elon Musk by taking his actions completely out of context. Let's show the Democrats how easy it is to take images out of context. Donald Trump has already begun cleaning up D.C. by firing over a thousand White House employees left behind by the Biden administration. Donald Trump praises his son Barron for helping him secure the youth vote in the 2024 election. Sara is joined today by BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden and founder of Rippaverse Comics Eric July.

On this episode: When the Congressional Review Act was signed into law in 1996 by Bill Clinton, it gave Congress a way to hit pause on federal agency rules they believe have gone too far or otherwise aren't achieving the desired effect. Here's how it works: Congress gets a window of time to review any new rule, where both chambers have a chance to pass what's called a ‘joint resolution of disapproval.' Then—if the president signs off—that rule is overturned. And maybe the most interesting part of the process is that the agency whose rule has been overturned can't issue a similar rule again in the future. The tool's only been used to repeal 20 rules in its nearly 30 year history, most of which in the last few years — and most heavily by Donald Trump during his first term. The incoming administration sees it as a key to advancing their agenda and rolling back regulations, so we figured now would be a great time to talk a little more about its history, original intention, and the big role it might play over the next few months.  Check out our CRA page for an overview: https://ballotpedia.org/Congressional_Review_Act  Explore Biden's use of the CRA: https://ballotpedia.org/Uses_of_the_Congressional_Review_Act_during_the_Biden_administration  How Trump used it his 1st term: https://ballotpedia.org/Uses_of_the_Congressional_Review_Act_during_the_Trump_administration  Federal changes following the CRA in ‘96: https://ballotpedia.org/Federal_agency_rules_repealed_under_the_Congressional_Review_Act Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

An analysis of the game engine Unreal through feminist, race, and queer theories of technology and media, as well as a critique of the platform studies framework itself. In this first scholarly book on the Unreal game engine, James Malazita explores one of the major contemporary game development platforms through feminist, race, and queer theories of technology and media, revealing how Unreal produces, and is produced by, broader intersections of power. Enacting Platforms: Feminist Technoscience and the Unreal Engine (MIT Press, 2024) takes a novel critical platform studies approach, raising deeper questions: what are the material and cultural limits of platforms themselves? What is the relationship between the analyst and the platform of study, and how does that relationship in part determine what “counts” as the platform itself? Malazita also offers a forward-looking critique of the platform studies framework itself. The Unreal platform serves as a kind of technical and political archive of the games industry, highlighting how the techniques and concerns of games have shifted and accreted over the past 30 years. Today, Unreal is also used in contexts far beyond games, including in public communication, biomedical research, civil engineering, and military simulation and training. The author's depth of technical analysis, combined with new archival findings, contributes to discussions of topics rarely covered in games studies (such as the politics of graphical rendering algorithms), as well as new readings of previously “closed” case studies (such as the engine's entanglement with the US military and American masculinity in America's Army). Culture, Malazita writes, is not “built into” software but emerges through human practices with code. Rudolf Inderst is a professor of Game Design with a focus on Digital Game Studies at the IU International University of Applied Science, department lead for Games at Swiss culture magazine Titel kulturmagazin, editor of “DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist”, a weekly messenger newsletter about Game Culture and curator of @gamestudies at tiktok.

In this episode we are taking on the last of the High Leverage Teaching Practices, Providing Oral Corrective Feedback to Improve Learner Performance. My personal graduate thesis was on feedback in the language classroom and what has been shown to be most effective.  I'll share a little about my personal findings along with concrete strategies for providing oral corrective feedback to improve learner performance. Topics in this Episode:High Leverage Teaching Practices from Enacting the Work of Language Instruction by Eileen Glisan and Richard DonatoEpisode 160: Create a Classroom Where Students Use the Target Language ConfidentlyEpisode 162: Facilitating Target Language ComprehensibilityEpisode 164: Teach Grammar in a Communicative ContextEpisode 167: Guiding Learners to Interpret and Discuss Authentic TextsEpisode 171: Focusing on Cultural Products, Practices, and PerspectivesOral corrective feedback is the immediate response provided by teachers to learners' spoken errors during language practice. It helps students notice and correct their mistakes, leading to improved language accuracy and proficiency.Effective oral corrective feedback supports language development by guiding students towards correct language use, helping them internalize language rules, and improving their confidence in speaking."From my thesis Feedback in the Second Language Classroom: The Impact of Explicit and Implicit Negative Feedback on the Interlanguage System: “The unaided learner may eventually learn on his own, but feedback will help him to do this more quickly and efficiently. The research helps to further narrow down the most productive forms of feedback, mainly feedback in the form of negotiation. When the learner is provided with scaffolding that leads him into producing the correct form on his own, he is much more likely to restructure his interlanguage system. This type of communicative feedback will not only provide the most naturalistic communication in the classroom, but will also be the most efficient means of moving the learner toward language that more closely resembles the L2.”Strategies:Differentiate Types of FeedbackConsider Timing and Frequency of FeedbackCreate a Supportive EnvironmentFocus on Error PatternsProvide Constructive and Specific Feedback**Be sure to download the The CI Toolbox. 15 Comprehensible Input (CI) activities for your language classroom to support comprehension and authentic engagement.

#171How do your students engage with culture in your classroom? One way to approach cultural topics is to look specifically at Cultural Products, Practices and Perspectives. Focusing on these cultural aspects helps students develop intercultural competence, which will then make language learning more meaningful and relevant to them. It also allows students to see beyond language and understand the people who speak it. In this episode I share practical strategies to engage students in understanding Cultural Products Practices and Perspectives.Topics in this Episode:High Leverage Teaching Practices from Enacting the Work of Language Instruction by Eileen Glisan and Richard DonatoEpisode 160: Create a Classroom Where Students Use the Target Language ConfidentlyEpisode 162: Facilitating Target Language ComprehensibilityEpisode 164: Teach Grammar in a Communicative ContextEpisode 167: Guiding Learners to Interpret and Discuss Authentic TextsCultural Products: Tangible and intangible items created by a culture, such as art, literature, music, food and traditions.Cultural Practices: The patterns of behavior accepted by a society, including customs, rituals, and routines.Cultural Perspectives: The underlying values, beliefs, and attitudes that shape how a culture views the world.Cultural Value Dimensions5 Strategies for engaging students in Cultural Products, Practices and PerspectivesSelecting Authentic Cultural MaterialsContextualizing Cultural PracticesFacilitating Communicative Interactions around Cultural Products, Practices and PerspectivesReflecting on Cultural Perspectives Integrating Cultural Learning with Language Skills**Be sure to download the The CI Toolbox. 15 Comprehensible Input (CI) activities for your language classroom to support comprehension and authentic engagement.

To make sure that we are all on the same page with the concept, the simple definition is materials created by and for native speakers not for the purpose of language learning.

The UK Government has established emergency measures to ease prison overcrowding as more rioters are being sentenced for their role in the recent unrest. The system, known as Operation Early Dawn, means defendants waiting for a court appearance will be kept in police cells until prison space is available. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says hundreds of people have been arrested over the last few weeks - which puts additional strain on the system.

We have released several episodes in recent months in which we have discussed federal and state legislative efforts on 340B. But what does it take to get 340B protections through a state legislature and to the governor's desk? In this episode, we speak with Ryan Cross, vice president of governmental affairs with Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, based in Baton Rouge, La. This system operates 10 hospitals in Louisiana and Mississippi. Both states recently enacted contract pharmacy protection laws. Ryan says there were three factors involved with getting these state protections over the legislative finish line:Relationships — Ryan says the relationships 340B advocates formed with other hospitals, lawmakers, and public policy staff contributed to their successes at the state level. The first time to discuss 340B with these individuals cannot be when a bill is going up for consideration, much less when stakeholders are on defense and trying to explain the importance of 340B in the wake of legislation that would harm covered entities.Messaging — Ryan explains how the messaging that resonated in the states during the 340B contract pharmacy debate focused on how big pharma is trying to take money away from not-for-profit hospitals and drive it to out-of-state shareholders. By emphasizing the variety of patient programs and support that are possible because of 340B without making it a referendum on the federal program at large, that case mostly sells itself.Grassroots — Ryan notes that there are roughly 18,000 members of his health system across Louisiana and Mississippi. These are physicians, nurses, pharmacy techs, and other health care professionals with representatives that they can contact. Knowing when to deploy these grassroots supporters to make phone calls and send emails is important, because that can get attention and results when timed well.Resources:Missouri Becomes Eighth State To Enact Contract Pharmacy Protections

Episode 185 In this podcast, New York Times bestselling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all. The astrology of the week of July 1st, 2024, encourages us to dream big and dive deep. On Tuesday, Neptune (the planet of dreams) stations retrograde in Pisces, pulling focus toward our visions for the future. Later, Mercury (the planet of communication) trines Neptune, urging us to discuss our fantasies regardless of how “out there” they may seem, and then enters Leo, upping the drama of our anecdotes and appreciations. Also on Tuesday, the Sun squares the lunar nodes, marking the halfway point between eclipse seasons and compelling us to take stock of what is and isn't working as we strive toward our goals. Then Venus (the planet of beauty) trines Saturn, helping us to solidify the details of our upcoming pleasure pursuits. On Wednesday, Mercury opposes Pluto (the planet of underworld journeys), submerging us in conversations and investigations regarding the realities of everyday life. On Friday, Mars (the planet of action) sextiles Saturn, infusing our protective instincts with determination and stamina. Lastly the New Moon in Cancer occurs and ushers in a potent opportunity to nurture new hobbies, relationships, or personal projects and nourish both ourselves and the world at large. Overall, this week calls us to reflect on all the beauty we've created and all the joy we have yet to experience. This episode was recorded on 05/27/2024.

ELIZABETH STELLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE! ELIZABETH JOINS TO SHARE SOME PERSPECTIVE ON TAX CUTS AND THE IMPACT ON FAMILIES IN THE KEYSTONE STATE...  Pa. Senate's Proposed Tax Cuts Would Save Families $900 Per YearSB 269 would reduce the Personal Income Tax and eliminate the Gross Receipts Tax on electricity. Harrisburg, Pa., May 29, 2024 — Senate Bill (SB) 269 would slash taxes across Pennsylvania and save the average family of four $400 in fiscal year (FY) 2024–25 and $900 in FY 2025–26, according to the Commonwealth Foundation's latest analysis. The legislation would cut the Personal Income Tax (PIT) rate from 3.07 percent to 2.8 percent beginning in January 2025 and eliminate the Gross Receipts Tax on electricity. According to the Independent Fiscal Office (IFO), Pennsylvania's working-age population will decline by 4.3 percent by 2030. Fewer working adults will support a growing number of seniors, resulting in lower tax revenues and higher costs for long-term care programs. “Pennsylvania is facing a demographic crisis with a shrinking workforce that will severely strain the state's finances in the coming years,” said Elizabeth Stelle, director of policy analysis at the Commonwealth Foundation. “Enacting responsible tax cuts now is crucial to attracting and retaining jobs, empowering working families, and boosting economic growth.” SB 269's proposed 9 percent reduction to the PIT rate would improve Pennsylvania's ranking to the 10th lowest individual income tax rate in the nation. Eliminating the 59-mill Gross Receipts Tax on electricity sales would provide additional savings for families by removing a surcharge currently passed on to consumers. “While Governor Shapiro's proposed budget increases spending, raises energy costs, and creates a structural deficit of more than $6 billion, the Senate Republican tax cut plan offers targeted tax relief to make Pennsylvania more attractive for workers and small businesses,” Stelle said. “Along with spending restraint, these tax cuts are vital first steps toward confronting our economic and demographic headwinds.” The Commonwealth Foundation's analysis also determined that Pennsylvania can further improve its economic standing by eliminating the startup penalty on small businesses. Enacting net operating loss reforms would encourage more business startups throughout the state. Stelle continued: “For too long, Pennsylvania has been losing residents and jobs to other states with more favorable tax climates. SB 269 moves us in the right direction by letting working families keep more of their hard-earned money. The General Assembly should make these tax cuts a priority.”

Indonesia is the world's second largest cigarette market: two out of three men smoke, and clove-laced tobacco cigarettes called kretek make up 95 percent of the market. To account for the staggering success of this lethal industry, Kretek Capitalism: Making, Marketing, and Consuming Clove Cigarettes in Indonesia (University of California Press, 2024) moves beyond a focus on the addictive hold of nicotine to examine how kretek manufacturers have adopted global tobacco technologies and enlisted Indonesians to labor on their behalf in fields and factories, at retail outlets and social gatherings, and online. The book charts how Sampoerna, a Philip Morris International subsidiary, uses contracts, competitions, and gender, class, and age hierarchies to extract overtime, shift, seasonal, gig, and unpaid labor from workers, influencers, artists, students, retailers, and consumers. Critically engaging nationalist claims about the commodity's cultural heritage and the jobs it supports, Marina Welker shows how global capitalism has transformed both kretek and the labor required to make and promote it.  Marina Welker is Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University and author of Enacting the Corporation: An American Mining Firm in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia.  Reighan Gillam is an Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College.

Critically engaging nationalist claims about the commodity's cultural heritage and the jobs it supports, Marina Welker shows how global capitalism has transformed both kretek and the labor required to make and promote it.  Marina Welker is Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University and author of Enacting the Corporation: An American Mining Firm in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia.  Reighan Gillam is an Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation.

The OneHaas alumni podcast is thrilled to welcome Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda – a social impact entrepreneur, globally-recognized human rights expert, and a leading scholar on inclusive and accessible smart cities. After immigrating to the U.S. at seven years old and navigating life with a disability, Dr. Pineda graduated from the Haas School of Business in 2002 and has since gone on to advise Fortune 500 companies, negotiate international sustainability agreements, founded and run the foundation World ENABLED, and is an adjunct professor at UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Sciences. Dr. Pineda chats with host Sean Li about moving to the U.S. from Venezuela, the different opportunities that gave him, his work to enact social change in the world, and why building inclusive environments benefits everyone. *OneHaas Alumni Podcast is a production of Haas School of Business and is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The impact that moving from Venezuela to the U.S. had on Dr. Pineda“My mother was told that I would not be able to be educated, that I would not be able to have a job, I would not be able to form a family. And all of those ended up being not true, because it wasn't my physical limitations that constrained me but the lack of public policies, the lack of institutions, programs, and laws that allowed somebody like me to thrive. That all changed when I came to California.”How Dr. Pineda is enacting worldwide social change with his work“We're not going to fix these challenges by only pointing out what's wrong with the world, but rather what's investing in what's right with the world. So what we've invested in, in a partnership with the city of Amsterdam, was a three-year project on leveraging AI to map access barriers. Now that's important for disaster risk management and for emergency preparedness, as well as for infrastructure upgrading and climate adaptations.”How listeners can make an impact and support Dr. Pineda's mission“We can each become advocates for more inclusive innovation, no matter what sphere we work in. I think sharing my research around AI, this playbook on inclusive cities, the autism-friendly design guidelines, as well as some of the work we're doing to build a global advisory council on inclusive innovation becomes ways that the very talented Haas community could connect with real systems change.”Dr. Pineda's thoughts on ensuring AI is used as a force for good in the future “I think we need to open up our hearts. I think we need to be grounded with who we are as individuals, what we value, and really create a more intentional approach to how we direct our attention. Because what you appreciate, appreciates, right? If we're in a fear economy, we're feeding fear. For an economy that's investing in more integrated, holistic approaches, we're building those.”Show Links:LinkedIn ProfileThe Victor Pineda FoundationWorld EnabledMy Disability Justice Youtube seriesVictor Santiago Pineda's book: Building the Inclusive City: Governance, Access, and the Urban Transformation of Dubai Other recommended reads in this episode: Mismatch: How Inclusion Shapes Design (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life) by Kat Holmes Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel KahnemanThe Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/onehaas/donations
