Au Kenya, les rastafaris viennent d'essuyer un revers devant la justice. Alors qu'ils demandaient une dérogation à la loi afin de pouvoir consommer du cannabis dans le cadre de leur pratique religieuse, la Haute Cour a rejeté leur recours. Quels sont les arguments du juge pour justifier cette décision ? Pourquoi le cannabis occupe-t-il une place si importante dans les rites rastafaris ? Avec Albane Thirouard, correspondante de RFI à Nairobi.  

Most fabricators think every lead deserves a quote. I don't. In this episode, I share why learning to say "no" to the wrong jobs can reduce stress, improve close rates, and create a healthier business. In this episode: The story from a Cosentino event in San Francisco that changed the way I think about qualifying customers. Why it's okay to walk away from prospects who aren't a good fit. The importance of requiring an in-home or showroom presentation. How to identify customers who are fixated on price or square-foot pricing. A respectful way to refer those jobs to another fabricator. The one exception: when slower seasons justify a different approach.   Next Episode: We'll walk through the sales presentation itself—how to educate customers, communicate your process, explain why you charge more, and demonstrate the value that separates you from the competition.

Anxiety has a favorite move. It doesn't argue that acceptance and exposure don't work. It just convinces you they don't apply to you specifically. This thought, this sensation, this situation, is the one exception to every rule you already understand.This week we break down what fuels that exception: possibility, intensity, and importance, plus the urgency that makes an unlikely outcome feel like it's already happening. A 1 in 5,000 chance means nothing until anxiety puts your name on it. The same pattern shows up everywhere: the one OCD ritual someone insists they can't skip, the health scare that supposedly voids all the usual rules, the flight or the dentist visit where the real fear isn't the obvious one but some elaborate scenario your brain built from nothing.--Want to talk about what you're hearing today? We're hanging out in the Disordered Community space:https://disordered.fm/community--We also get into the meta version of this: I've had it longer than anyoneI have more going on than anyone elseno one is as scared as I am.It's the same doubt wearing a different story, and it isn't true. You don't want to be special here. Plus listener wins from the community: a woman who pushed through agoraphobia and fresh grief to make it to her grandmother's funeral, and another who felt a wave of panic build in a crowded arcade and chose to stay instead of running.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is available as a paperback or on Kindle⁠https://www.disordered.fm/the-disordered-guide-to-health-anxiety/⁠---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control?

While it was a mixed day overall for President Trump at the Supreme Court, the justices gave him another big win on executive power, ruling 6-3 that he had the power to fire a Democratic commissioner on the FTC. The court essentially overturned a 91-year-old decision, signaling presidents can fire heads of agencies that had been considered independent. But they made one key exception, voting 5-4 that he was wrong to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook.    Learn more about your ad choices.

In this sermon, Bishop Welly Odendo explores the concept ofbecoming a "King of Time"—someone who chooses to be an exception rather than blending into the "many" by waiting for external circumstances or validation to change. The core message emphasizes that while time can erase individuals who remain passive, those who operate in Spirit andtruth can transcend their current circumstances and redefine their future.Key Takeaways:Be the Exception, not one of the many: Drawing from thestories of the widow in the days of Elijah (14:46) and the lepers in the time of Elisha (15:12), the Bishop encourages congregants to refuse the "destiny of the many" and instead strive to be the exception that brings about change in their families and circumstances.Worship as a System: The Bishop redefines worship notas a religious activity or song, but as a system that aligns a person with God. By acting in the "Spirit and truth" discussed in John 4, a person positions themselves to be located by the Father, turning their life into a "well" of endless supply rather than waiting for external relief.Decisive Action vs. Second Validation: Using the storyof Gideon (Judges 7), the sermon critiques the tendency to wait for a "second confirmation" or validation before taking action. The Bishop teaches that because God has already delivered the victory, believers shouldact decisively without needing constant external reassurance.A "King of Time" is one who stops worshipping time(waiting for the right hour) and instead makes time obey them by activating their faith and purpose immediately. The sermon concludes with a powerful call to refuse a life of mediocrity and to take charge of 2026, positioning oneself as an agent of change rather than a victim of circumstance.

Apparently a lot of the World Cup fans who've fallen in love with ranch dressing are trying to take bottles and bottles home with them on flights! TSA had to put out a warning yesterday and say that you can NOT carry ranch dressing onto the plane.

Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson served as the Murdaugh family's housekeeper for approximately twenty years. She observed the defendant's operational pattern across that period: the consistent use of intermediaries in financial transactions, the delegation of exposure to associates, the construction of deniability through layered relationships. Curtis Eddie Smith's documented role — cashing approximately four hundred thirty-seven checks totaling roughly two point four million dollars — is one component of a broader infrastructure Simpson observed firsthand.Simpson presents a specific theory of the crime. She posits that the defendant maintained a Plan A involving another individual's presence at Moselle the night of the killings, and when that arrangement failed, executed the plan independently and constructed a post-hoc narrative implicating the boat crash families. Her basis is the defendant's documented behavioral history of using others as instruments. Simpson directly addresses the defense's third-party suspect strategy, arguing that the defendant's established pattern of operating through intermediaries makes a solely independent act inconsistent with his behavioral record.Attorney Eric Bland provides the retrial analysis. Bland constructed the financial fraud case prosecutors relied upon for their motive theory and represented the Satterfield family. The Supreme Court's ruling directs that financial crimes evidence be substantially curtailed at any retrial. Bland identifies what evidence survives, what does not, and whether the prosecution's case can sustain the loss. He addresses the defense's assertion of new DNA evidence and third-party culprit claims, the AG's consideration of capital charges and the defense's vindictive prosecution response, and the question of whether the defendant should testify again. Bland predicts a high probability of reconviction but acknowledges a meaningful possibility of a hung jury, and identifies the juror profile most likely to produce that outcome.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What We Cover This Episode Stacking comes up constantly in rec play, and most players either resist it, misunderstand it, or simply never try it. Michael and Mircea break down why you should at minimum stack on serve, how to think about court positioning based on skill sets, and why ego is quietly costing recreational players games every single day. Key Takeaways Why players resist stacking (and why those reasons don't hold up) "My backhand is just as good as my forehand" is almost never true Common objections: too complicated, not fast enough to switch, messes up the return The cost of staying wrong-sided is almost always higher than the discomfort of learning The lefty-righty problem A lefty on the left creates two backhands in the middle, one of the most exploitable situations in doubles Middle, middle, middle. Every single ball. It's a cash register at most rec levels The fix is simple: lefties on the right, forehands in the middle The one scenario where there is no excuse not to stack On serve, stacking requires zero movement complexity. You just stand on the correct side before the point starts. There is no reason not to do this How to think about which side each player should be on Ask your partner which side they prefer before you start Match the stronger or more dynamic player to the left side so they can dictate angles and control the middle Hide weak forehands by keeping that player on the right, where their partner can cover the middle Exception: if a player's backhand is a weapon, you may want that weapon sitting in the middle instead Conor Garnett and the pro game Conor typically plays the left side, in part because at the pro level, precise dinking can avoid his backhand entirely, making it more valuable to protect from the outside His pairing with Roscoe Bellamy works because Roscoe's reach clogs the middle and takes pressure off that dynamic Mircea's partnership with Jose DeRisi Mircea plays right, Jose plays left, based on complementary strengths Mircea's defense and forehand options suit the right side; Jose's skills are better expressed from the left They adjust situationally, including half stacking when an opponent has a big serve Using stacking to break momentum Lost four to six points in a row? Switch sides, even temporarily The change in look alone tends to break runs, regardless of the tactical reason Half stacking explained Stack only on serve, not on return A good entry point if full stacking feels overwhelming The returner controls whether to call off the switch, not the player at the kitchen How to start if you've never stacked Pick a preferred side. If you start there, stay. If you start on the other side, scoot over You do not need pro-level athleticism, fancy signals, or perfect execution You need: commitment, communication, and repetition Practice it in rec play before bringing it into a tournament Reference Episodes Episode 28: "Should You Stack More Than You Are in Pickleball?" covers the full mechanics, including regular stacking, half stacking, three-quarter stacking, where to return, and court movement patterns.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Read my NEW BOOK -- The Price of Becoming -  www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming Eric Ries is the author of The Lean Startup, one of the most influential business books of the past 25 years, and the founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, the first new U.S. exchange to both list and trade multiple stocks since NASDAQ launched 50 years ago. His new book is Incorruptible. Key Learnings The more successful a company becomes, the more valuable it is as a target. Companies are worth stealing and taking over. Most founders are naive about this and don't understand what's coming for them. They've been following the so-called best practices about how companies should be built, structured, and governed. Most of those best practices are value-destroying. Sol Price was a lawyer before he became an entrepreneur. He believed a lawyer had a fiduciary duty to put the client's interests before his own. So when he became a retailer, he asked: "Who's my client?" The customer. He treated the customer as the person he would rather die than betray. When competitors sold a product for less, he'd put up signs in his own store: "Don't buy this from me. You can get it cheaper somewhere else." He capped his margins at 14 percent. He paid above-market wages. It is so much easier to destroy than to create. One day, Sol came into work and couldn't get into his office because the locks had been changed. Investors had pushed him out and forced Fedmart to practice retail best practices. Within seven years, they bankrupted the company. We've built an economy that rewards people for cost-cutting without holding them accountable for the consequences to trustworthiness, brand, or culture. The origin story of Costco: Sol took two weeks off, then leased the office upstairs from Fedmart and started Price Club. One of the young guys who left with him, Jim Sinegal, had worked his way up from stock boy. Jim eventually started his own company using the Sol ethos. A few years later, their companies merged to form what we now call Costco. Wall Street routinely calls Costco the exception to every rule. Wall Street analysts say things like: "At Costco, they take money that rightfully belongs to shareholders and instead invest it in the customer experience." As if that's a criticism. Costco endures because it's protected by a governance fortress. A series of worst practices that resist outside pressure structurally. The $1.50 hot dog has been the same price since 1986. A McDonald's Big Mac was $1.60 in 1986. Today that same Big Mac in California is over $7. Costco sells more hot dogs than every Major League Baseball stadium in America combined. If they raised the combo to $7, it would be a billion dollars of extra net income. They could do it. They choose not to. "If you raise the price of the effing hot dog, I will kill you. So figure it out." Jim Sinegal said it to his COO in 2008 when costs were rising. Figure it out. Costco vertically integrated the hot dog supply chain. They own hot dog production plants in multiple cities. They worked deals with soda vendors. They did all that extra work for the privilege of not making more money on the hot dog. Harder is easier. "When you take the hard road, when you make a principled commitment, you get these almost unbelievable values. Because you're generating the most underrated and most valuable asset in all of business: trustworthiness." "Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life." Jerzy Gregorek, Olympic weightlifter. "Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder. Nobody wanna lift these heavy ass weights." Ronnie Coleman, eight-time Mr. Olympia. Everyone wants the outcome. Nobody wants to do the actual thing. Culture and mission can be cultivated, not commanded. Most leaders get this wrong. They say "I'm in charge of my team." But can you command your team to have integrity? Can you command it to have a particular culture? You have to make consistent, responsible choices, just like cultivating health in your body. Get reps. Eric gave practice talks at a Hobee's restaurant at 7 AM to six people just to get the reps. Caring and trying to do a good job is so unbelievably rare. That alone is a competitive advantage. Feedback tells you something about the person giving it, not about yourself. If someone reads Eric's manuscript and says, "This book sucks," he hasn't learned anything about the book. He's learned this person doesn't like this kind of book. When he stopped arguing with negative customer reviews and started studying who they came from, he noticed patterns. People 16 and younger loved the product. People 16 and older hated it. He learned who his product was for. Separate qualitative from quantitative feedback. Qualitative is for hypothesis generation. Quantitative is for hypothesis validation. When test readers told him a chapter wasn't working, that was qualitative. When the platform data showed nobody was getting past that chapter, that was quantitative. You need both to know what to fix. It is always too early until it's too late. Eric tells the story of a multibillion-dollar founder he warned before his IPO. The founder talked to his bankers, lawyers, and CFO. They told him Eric was a downer. The founder went public anyway with conventional governance. Five months later, his stock dropped 90 percent, and he was ousted. The best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago. The second-best time is today. Eric's checklist for building an incorruptible company: Encode your mission into the corporate charter. Most founders have never read their charter. If your mission statement says one thing but your legal charter says another, you're lying. The easiest fix: file a public benefit corp filing (PBC). Two pages. 44 states. Your lawyer can do it tomorrow. Identify your fiduciary commitments. Who would you rather die than betray? Is it your customers? Your employees? Product quality? You decide. If your answer is nobody, you're a sociopath. The whole book is for the people who actually want to accomplish something. Align your employees to that mission. Make sure everybody on the team is committed to the same fiduciary priority. Create a director's oath. Like the Hippocratic Oath for doctors, but for your board. They must pledge to commit to the company's mission. Board betrayal and investor pressure are leading causes of death of companies in the modern world. Make the directors accountable to somebody. Power without accountability is corrosive to the human spirit. Novo Nordisk is governed by a nonprofit foundation. Patagonia is governed by a perpetual purpose trust. John Lewis Partnership in the UK is governed by an employee ownership trust. IKEA, Vanguard, and REI all have these structures. The data shows these companies are dramatically more stable and higher performing than conventional structures. You are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic. People love to blame the system. But you're not just a passenger. You're part of what creates the system. Where you work. What you buy. What you give your attention to. Every one of those choices is fueling somebody's company, somebody's algorithm, somebody's bonus. The richest people in the world spend billions on PR because they know your individual choices matter. Use that power. Eric's champagne moment a year from now: a grassroots movement around Incorruptible. This book won't get wall-to-wall media coverage. It's antagonistic to people in power. So Eric hopes readers will hand it to their founders, their bosses, their friends. If consumers and employees start demanding, "I want to work in an incorruptible company," that's the toast. Reflection Questions What is your equivalent of Costco's hot dog? The one commitment you'd defend even when it's financially painful, even when the easy move would be to abandon it? Have you ever read your corporate charter, or the foundational document of your team or department? Does what's actually written match what you say you stand for? Where in your work or life would the harder short-term path build something more durable in the long run? Are you willing to lift the heavy weights?

Chelsea Follett joins Infinite Loops to explain why the "good old days" were far darker than most people imagine — and why progress should never be taken for granted. Chelsea is the managing editor of Human Progress and author of Centers of Progress and the forthcoming The Grim Old Days. We discuss why humans are so drawn to nostalgia, what life was really like in the preindustrial past, why doomsday predictions keep failing, and how freedom, innovation, and open inquiry helped create the modern world.

In this latest episode of Salt Lake Dirt, I was so happy to welcome filmmaker Michelle Bossy back to the show. Michelle is someone who stays incredibly busy—she's actually directed 20+ short films and two features at this point—so it's always a treat to catch up with her and see what she's been working on. This time around, we took a deep dive into two of her latest short films, "We Regret to Inform You" and "Exception(al)," both of which have been making some serious noise on the festival circuit. We started things off talking about "We Regret to Inform You," which was written by and stars Michelle's long-time friend, Zina Wilde. It's a 13-minute film that manages to be both funny and deeply moving, using a bit of magical realism to explore the universal pain of a bad breakup. Xena's script likens heartbreak to a terminal heart condition, where a bumbling health insurance operator, played wonderfully by Kai Lennox, calls to tell her it's her last day of life. It's a beautiful, textured piece of storytelling that really packs an emotional punch in a short amount of time. Then we went on to talk about "Exception(al)," which was written by and stars another massive talent, Molly Powers. This one was filmed right on the campus of Brooklyn College during the summer. Molly drew from her own personal experiences in film school to dramatize the feeling of being an outsider, often as the only woman or Asian American person in the room. It explores complex themes of representation and microaggressions in academia without ever feeling pitying. Michelle even shared a great behind-the-scenes story about having to scale a campus fence after the crew got locked in on the final day of shooting! Beyond the films, Michelle also gave us a look at her extensive work in theater. She's currently involved with a play about Bill Cosby written by Janine Nabers that's heading to Los Angeles this fall, and she's been touring the world with a production called "A Poem and a Mistake." If you want to keep up with what she's doing, you can find her on Instagram at @michellebossydirects or check out her feature film "Nobody's Home" on Apple.

In this episode, Brian Nelson is back to cut through the noise surrounding broker liability and the critical importance of a rock-solid carrier selection policy! We delve into the potential fallout of recent legal arguments, discussing how the Supreme Court's perspective on safety data—or the lack thereof from the FMCSA—could fundamentally shift the responsibility of vetting onto the shoulders of brokers and shippers. From the tactics of plaintiffs' attorneys to the logistical nightmare of requesting driver qualification files for every load, Brian gives it to us straight on why size doesn't always equal safety and how the industry might be heading toward a massive shift in capacity. Tune in because this is a frank wake-up call to tighten your SOPs, embrace transparency, and prepare for the ripple effect a single Supreme Court decision could have on your brokerage's liability and daily operations!   About Bryan Nelson Bryan J.

The White House wants to revamp federal contracting practices by making cost-reimbursement structures the exception, not the rule, per an executive order signed Thursday. President Donald Trump's order calls on the federal government to view fixed-price contracts with performance-based considerations as “the default and preferred method of procurement.” Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins told lawmakers Thursday that the VA's beleaguered electronic health record modernization efforts have turned a corner with the successful rollout of the system this month at four Michigan facilities. Collins said the April 11 deployment of the EHR at hospitals in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Battle Creek and Saginaw “has been phenomenal, even by industry standard.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In the second hour, DVD discusses Steve Smith saying Vols WRs don't translate to the NFL and whether Chris Brazzell II can be the exception. They discuss how execs feel about the Titans' draft class, and NBA/ Stanley Cup playoff reactions

Molinari confronts the common objection that security is somehow different from other goods and must be exempted from market provision. He systematically challenges the reasoning behind treating defense as a unique case requiring government monopoly.

In celebration of his son's first birthday, influencer Jon Root shared a post showcasing the “Masters”-themed party. However, Jason took issue with Root's assertion that the party was for his son. Instead, he urged Root to be honest and admit that the party was more for himself and the adults.

This week, we break one of our own rules… and it was absolutely worth it.We sit down with Del Munro of Davidson River Outfitters. Del is a true student of the river. While he may not be a dad, his knowledge of smallmouth bass fishing earns him a seat at the table.We dive into Del's journey in the fly fishing world, what makes smallmouth so addicting, and how chasing bronze backs is a completely different game than the trout most of us cut our teeth on. From reading water to dialing in flies and approach, Del shares practical, hard-earned wisdom you won't find in a textbook.If you've ever thought about making the jump from trout streams to smallmouth rivers (or just want to become a better angler overall,) this one's packed with insight.Plus, we swap a few stories, talk local waters, and get a glimpse into what makes Western North Carolina such a special place to fish.

You're about the toe the line for your spring goal race, or you're mid-season for your sport and it's getting intense. Let's have a pep talk! We're sharing this one because we are fully in the swing of the Spring sport season, and that might mean that you're bumping up against some internal resistance to do the things that you know would be helpful, but would also require changing some old habits. You could be fueling more carb loading, or just eating enough in general. You could be focusing on getting your period back. You could be tapering or taking more consistent rest days. But if you're not doing those things right now and you know there's some change required to get from point A to point B with your health, you might be resisting some of those changes. There is often some grief involved, grieving and old self. A body change, a sport change an identity shift. Whatever it may be, this resistance to change may present as some bargaining you may think. I know those things are healthy for some people, but I don't need to do them, or I don't need to change that much.  This episode is a reminder: You are unique, but you are NOT the exception to the known best practices for sports fueling, rest, and overall health. The work works.  If you are looking for support from a dietitian, therapist, sports medicine provider or PT, go to Lane9project.org/directory and connect with one of our clinicians!

This episode shifts from investing to the growing threat of scams—especially targeting older adults—breaking down how common fraud tactics work, from fake virus alerts and spoofed calls to AI-driven voice cloning and recovery scams. Don and Tom emphasize a simple but powerful rule: if you didn't initiate the contact, assume it's a scam, and never act under pressure. The conversation then pivots to listener questions, covering how to construct a globally diversified portfolio with proper U.S./international balance, how to structure fixed income for retirement income needs, and why investors should resist the urge to “take winnings” after gains—focusing instead on long-term discipline and occasional rebalancing.0:05 Scams targeting older adults and why susceptibility increases1:21 AARP article and life in The Villages as a scam hotspot backdrop3:05 Fake virus alerts and tech support scams (iPad example, $25K loss)6:10 Scale of scam losses (older Americans, underreporting, $5B+ impact)6:48 Common scam types: fake purchases, investment fraud, and urgency tactics7:23 Caller ID spoofing and law enforcement impersonation scams8:25 AI voice cloning and evolving scam sophistication8:39 Call screening tools and reducing scam exposure9:53 Bank impersonation scams using stolen personal data11:14 IRS scams—what the IRS actually does (mail only)11:57 Key defense rule: urgency = scam12:47 “Recovery scams” targeting prior victims13:27 Core principle: assume unsolicited contact is fraudulent14:44 Transition to listener Q&A intro and contact methods16:07 Portfolio construction: balancing U.S. vs international exposure using ETFs18:00 Fixed income strategy: BND vs CDs, money markets, income buckets19:26 Listener question: should you “take profits” after gains?20:03 Why long-term investing ≠ gambling (stay invested vs timing)21:39 Exception: rebalancing vs profit-taking22:38 Historical perspective on long-term economic growthQuestions?

Donald Trump is a huge fan of Nayib Bukele, the current president of El Salvador. Last April, Bukele visited the White House and offered to help with a campaign of domestic repression in the United States. In El Salvador, which relies on US support, Bukele's government has detained tens of thousands of people in mass arrests. Hundreds have died inside their notorious prison system. Our guest today for a conversation about El Salvador under Bukele is Hilary Goodfriend. Hilary is a postdoctoral researcher at UNAM in Mexico City and she writes about Salvadorean politics for Jacobin. Read Hilary's article “An Infinite State of Exception in Nayib Bukele's El Salvador” here: https://jacobin.com/2026/01/el-salvador-us-bukele-trump-authoritarianism Long Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine's writers.

MIT economist Christian Catalini joins Ryan and David to unpack his new paper, "Some Simple Economics of AGI," which argues that the scarce resource in the AI economy is no longer intelligence but verification: the human capacity to check, judge, and certify that AI output is correct. Christian walks through the two cost curves reshaping every industry (cost to automate vs. cost to verify), explains why entry-level jobs are collapsing first through what he calls the "missing junior loop," why even top experts are unknowingly training their replacements (the "codifier's curse"), and maps out the three roles that survive the transition: Directors, Meaning Makers, and Liability Underwriters. ---
