In this episode of Translating ADHD, Asher and Dusty discuss the crucial role of fun and joy as essential tools for managing ADHD. They explore how many people with ADHD fall into the trap of endless to-do lists and feel they must “earn” their fun, which leads to burnout, depletion, and a life spent in procrastination or the “dark playground” — a place of unproductive scrolling and disengagement. By prioritizing fun and incorporating playfulness into daily routines, individuals can create the mental capacity and motivation needed to tackle tasks more effectively. Dusty shares a personal story about transforming the mundane task of taking calcium pills into a joyful ritual, highlighting how small changes in aesthetics and mindset can make a significant difference. The hosts also introduce a framework called the "Forces of Fun," breaking down fun into four categories: create, consume, commune, and cavort. They emphasize the importance of making space for pure fun, even when it feels difficult due to executive dysfunction or burnout. Strategies such as pre-deciding activities or creating dopamine menus help overcome barriers to engaging in enjoyable activities. The episode concludes with a reminder that fun is a birthright and an essential part of self-care for people with ADHD—not a reward to be earned but a necessary part of living well.

The software sector is facing an identity crisis as investors debate whether AI enhances or threatens traditional SaaS models. Brian Glenn explains that rising expectations, especially around Nvidia (NVDA), have raised the bar for earnings and increased volatility, pushing the market back toward fundamentals like profitability and durable data moats. He points to companies such as Intuit (INTU), Salesforce (CRM), and Adobe (ADBE) as more resilient to AI disruption, while also noting continued interest in private markets and limited near-term relief from Fed policy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode, Visante CEO Amy Amick and Chairman Steve Rough join host Jim Jorgenson to spotlight three powerful forces from Visante's Top 10 Forces Shaping Pharmacy in 2026 — and why pharmacy is rapidly emerging as a strategic growth platform for health systems. This conversation is designed for both pharmacy and health system leaders who are responsible for margin, strategy, and overall enterprise performance. From elevating pharmacy from cost center to growth engine, to capturing ambulatory opportunity and reducing prescription leakage, to unlocking the next wave of untapped value, this episode challenges leaders to rethink pharmacy as a business unit with measurable impact.

« Les lignes de front se sont rallumées à l'aube, s'exclame Le Point Afrique. Depuis hier matin, les Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo (FARDC), appuyées par les milices locales Wazalendo et soutenues par des drones, ont lancé des attaques simultanées sur plusieurs positions de l'AFC/M23 dans l'est du pays. Les combats les plus intenses se concentrent dans le territoire de Masisi, à proximité immédiate de Rubaya, site minier stratégique. Cette zone produit entre 15 % et 30 % du coltan mondial, minerai indispensable à l'industrie électronique. Pour le M23, l'enjeu est autant militaire qu'économique. (…) Cette nouvelle flambée, note encore Le Point Afrique, intervient au lendemain d'un événement majeur : la mort de Willy Ngoma, porte-parole militaire du M23, tué mardi près de Rubaya lors d'une frappe de drone attribuée aux FARDC. » Les drones : nouvelle arme fatale Le conflit est en train de prendre une nouvelle dimension avec justement l'utilisation de plus en plus massive de drones. En effet, explique Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC, « depuis la résurgence du M23, fin 2021, le conflit s'est enlisé au sol pour l'armée congolaise, dont la faiblesse ne lui a jamais permis de reprendre le dessus sur les rebelles, ni de reprendre des localités significatives ». « En échec au sol, Kinshasa a (donc) décidé de déplacer les combats dans les airs, notamment avec l'usage de drones d'attaque. Le décès de Willy Ngoma montre que l'armée congolaise peut désormais mener des attaques ciblées, pointe Afrikarabia. Ses forces spéciales, formées et soutenues par les éléments israéliens des paramilitaires de l'Américain Erik Prince, qui sont déployés à Uvira, sont désormais capables de frapper n'importe où et en toutes circonstances. Les attaques de drones sur les rebelles permettent maintenant aux milices Wazalendos, en premières lignes au sol, de pouvoir gagner du terrain et déloger certaines positions rebelles. Ce qui est désormais le cas autour de Rubaya, de Minembwe et de Kavumu. » Le poids des États-Unis « La dynamique semble, fait inhabituel, évoluer en faveur des forces congolaises », renchérit Ledjely. Et les Américains y sans doute pour quelque chose… En effet, précise le site guinéen, « ces premiers revers enregistrés par la rébellion interviennent après l'accord signé à Washington entre Félix Tshisekedi, Paul Kagame et Donald Trump. Par ailleurs, à la suite du retrait rebelle d'Uvira, des éléments liés à la société paramilitaire fondée par Erik Prince, ex-patron de Blackwater, auraient été aperçus dans la région. Fait notable également, pointe Ledjely : la zone où Willy Ngoma a trouvé la mort se situerait à proximité de l'une des plus importantes mines de coltan du pays. Exploitée par la rébellion depuis qu'elle en a pris le contrôle en 2024, cette mine avait été pourtant intégrée au volet économique de l'accord de Washington. Et dès lors que des intérêts économiques majeurs entrent ouvertement en jeu, les États-Unis pourraient difficilement tolérer toute remise en cause de leurs positions stratégiques, relève encore le site guinéen. Dans ce nouveau contexte, la rébellion de l'AFC/M23 ainsi que ses parrains rwandais pourraient bien découvrir que l'équation militaire dans l'est congolais est en train de changer ». Offensive diplomatique Pendant ce temps, Félix Tshisekedi est à l'offensive sur le plan diplomatique. Le président congolais est en visite en France. Il a été reçu mercredi 25 février à l'Élysée par Emmanuel Macron. « La France a exprimé sa solidarité avec Kinshasa, relève Afrik.com, tout en appelant à une désescalade et à une solution durable conforme au droit international. Cette prise de position a lieu à un moment où la RDC multiplie les démarches diplomatiques pour internationaliser la question sécuritaire et obtenir des soutiens explicites sur la scène mondiale. Pour Kinshasa, chaque déclaration publique de soutien constitue un levier dans le rapport de force régional. Pour Paris, l'équation est plus délicate : préserver la stabilité des Grands Lacs sans rompre les équilibres diplomatiques avec Kigali ». Et dans le même temps, relève encore Afrik.com, un bras de fer diplomatique est en train de se jouer entre la RDC et le Rwanda :  « La RDC semble déterminée à arracher au Rwanda la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la francophonie (OIF). (…) La RDC qui envisage de présenter une candidature au secrétariat général de l'organisation. Cette ambition croise celle du Rwanda qui avait déjà annoncé la reconduction de la candidature de l'actuelle secrétaire générale, Louise Mushikiwabo, pour un troisième mandat ».

Bluetooth is everywhere, right? Until recently, I would have said “Almost everywhere,” since it hadn't yet affected the industrial sector. However, according to Simon Ford, the Founder of Blecon, Bluetooth has now entered that final frontier. It's done so for obvious reasons, like power, performance, and ubiquity, and a few other reasons. Hear what Simon has to say on this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

Send a textAs loyalty programs move into 2026, brands are confronting a fundamental shift: loyalty is no longer sustained by accumulation alone. Points, miles, and introductory bonuses still matter, but they no longer guarantee relevance or emotional attachment. Instead, transparency, experiential value, and ongoing engagement are becoming the defining forces shaping how loyalty programs earn and maintain consumer trust. We recently spoke with Eileen Peacock, Senior Vice President, General Manager, at Valuedynamx U.S., who shared how shifting consumer expectations, subscription-influenced behavior, and a growing desire for real-world experiences are reshaping loyalty strategy across industries.

It's Monday, February 23rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Utah teacher forces student to wash off Ash Wednesday cross A Utah elementary school faced backlash after a teacher told a Catholic student to remove an Ash Wednesday cross from his forehead, a symbol marking the beginning of Lent, reports WHSV TV. Fourth-grader William McLeod had attended church on Ash Wednesday and arrived at Valley View Elementary School in Bountiful, Utah wearing a traditional ash cross.  He said classmates initially questioned him about it, unaware that the ash cross marked the beginning of Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness before the beginning of His three-year ministry. The boy recalled his teacher asking, “What is that?” He replied, “It's Ash Wednesday. It's the first day of Lent.” She said, “No, it's inappropriate. Go take it off.” In front of his peers, she gave the child a wipe and told him to clean his forehead. McLeod said, “I felt really bad.” His grandmother said he was embarrassed and upset, saying he later went to see the school psychologist “crying.” The Davis School District issued a formal apology, saying the teacher's actions were unacceptable. A spokesman said, “No student should ever be asked or required to remove an ash cross from his or her forehead.” The teacher later apologized. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Trump tariffs On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs, striking down a central part of his economic agenda, reports The Western Journal. TRUMP: “The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing. I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what's right for our country.” The case focused on tariffs President Trump imposed under a 1977 emergency powers law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. He used that law to impose reciprocal tariffs on most countries beginning last year. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act “does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.” Associate Justice Amy Barrett and Neil Gorsuch sided with Roberts and the court's three liberals. However, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented, reports the Associated Press. President Trump imposes new tariff using different authority On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “I would like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for your strength, wisdom, and love of our country, which is right now very proud of you. “When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic, and dancing in the streets — But they won't be dancing for long!” Kavanaugh wrote, “The decision might not substantially constrain a President's ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs issued in this case. ... Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338).” TRUMP:  “Other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly rejected. Great alternatives. Could be more money. We'll take in more money.” Inspired by Judge Brett Kavanaugh's dissent, President Trump imposed a new 10% global tariff the same day of the Supreme Court decision last Friday, using Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, reports NewsNation. GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales had affair with aide who set herself on fire U.S. Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales of Texas engaged in a romantic relationship with an aide who died last year by setting herself on fire outside her Uvalde home, according to a text message and people close to the aide and her family, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Both she and Gonzales were married to other people at the time of the alleged affair. A former staffer in Gonzales' district office, who worked closely with the aide, Regina Ann Santos-Aviles, said she told him they had an affair in 2024, and that she spiraled into a depression after her husband discovered the relationship and Gonzales abruptly ended their affair. Exodus 20:14 says, “You shall not commit adultery.” He also shared with the San Antonio Express-News a screenshot of a text message from Regina in which she acknowledged having an “affair with our boss.” The staffer, who asked not to be named, citing a fear of retaliation, faulted Gonzales' office for failing to intervene, saying he warned the congressman's district director months before Regina's fiery suicide that he was concerned about her well-being. He described her as his “best friend” and said their families knew each other. Gonzales, a Republican representing Texas' 23rd Congressional District, is currently seeking re-election in a contested primary.  The San Antonio Express-News, which had initially endorsed Gonzales in the March 3rd Republican primary, recently withdrew its endorsement. In the Republican Primary for Congress in District 23, many South Texans are looking to support Francisco “Quico” Canseco during early voting or on Election Day, Tuesday, March 3rd. Texas bobsled gold medalist almost quit And finally, (audio of Olympics theme song) It was a couple of weeks before Christmas. Elana Meyers Taylor, age 41, was in Norway, prepping for a World Cup bobsled weekend. Things were going horribly. Her body was hurting, she wondered if she was doing right by her two deaf children, and the racing results were, well, bad, reports the San Antonio Express-News. So, she texted her husband. The message: I'm done.  She wrote, “This is just impossible. It's never going to work.” She was 10th in the World Cup monobob standings. Eight women won medals on the circuit this winter and she wasn't one of them. Her average finish was 10th and her result during a race on the Olympic track in November was 19th — a whopping 2.43 seconds behind the winning time. FEMALE ANNOUNCER: “She had probably her worst season of monobob in her life.” Her husband, former bobsledder Nic Taylor, is now a performance coach and works with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. When a Spurs player — the couple won't say who — learned Elana was struggling, he gifted Nic a plane ticket and told him, “Go to Norway immediately!” So, Nic flew to Norway to encourage his wife in person after those discouraging texts to talk her out of quitting.  That strengthened Elana's resolve to compete. Listen to the Olympics announcer during Elana's bobsled run. MALE ANNOUNCER: “Elana Myers Taylor has this magical moment to win another Olympic medal and potentially gold. Her husband Nick and sons, Noah and Nico, are here in the crowd. “This is a promising run for Elana Myers Taylor. Sixteen-hundredths of a second ahead of Kaillie Humphries, 12-hundredths of a second ahead. Elana Myers Taylor has never won a gold medal at the Olympics. She has now. It's gold for the United States, and that elusive gold medal for Eleanor Myers Taylor, is elusive no more. The most prolific female bobsledder in history.” At 41, she became the oldest woman to win an individual gold medal in Winter Games history. It was her sixth Olympic medal. She said, “I was determined to keep fighting, determined to just put down the best runs I could. And look what happened. There were so many moments during this entire season, during this past four years, that I thought it wasn't possible.” And now you know the rest of the story. In 1 Corinthians 9:24, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” Or, in Elana Meyers Taylor's case, slide in such a way as to get the prize.

Minni Arko Minnawi, le gouverneur du Darfour au Soudan et chef du mouvement de libération du Soudan, faction Minnawi, est le grand invité Afrique de RFI. De passage à Paris, il revient dans cet entretien sur les derniers développements de la crise au Soudan, des interventions étrangères, des possibilités de retrouver la paix. Minni Arcou Minnawi invite les Émirats arabes unis à entrer en dialogue direct avec les autorités soudanaises. RFI : Quand la guerre prendra-t-elle fin ? Minni Arko Minnawi : J'aimerais qu'elle se termine aujourd'hui, mais cela ne peut pas se faire sans certaines mesures. Quelles sont ces mesures ? En réalité, de nombreux facteurs ont contribué à cette guerre, notamment le facteur extérieur, à savoir, les Émirats arabes unis, qui doivent se retirer du conflit, qu'ils cessent de gérer la guerre. Quant au facteur interne, il nous serait alors beaucoup plus facile de nous asseoir ensemble et de mettre fin à la guerre. Les autorités soudanaises ont, à plusieurs reprises, exprimé des réserves quant à la présence des Émirats arabes unis parmi les membres du Quartet composé également des États-Unis, de l'Égypte et de l'Arabie saoudite. Rejetez-vous leur présence au sein du Quartet ? Oui, nous rejetons leur présence au sein du Quartet, car les Émirats arabes unis sont censés jouer un rôle de médiation, de facilitateur. Or, ils sont eux-mêmes partie prenante au conflit ; comment peuvent-ils donc être à la fois juge et partie ? L'armée soudanaise a fréquemment accusé des pays voisins de collaborer avec les Émirats arabes unis pour acheminer du matériel militaire au Soudan destiné aux Forces de soutien rapide. Pouvez-vous identifier ces pays ? C'est assez clair, surtout en ce qui concerne des responsables en Libye, à l'est du pays, à Benghazi, plus précisément qui est sous contrôle émirien. Il y a le Tchad. Ce sont des pays que les Émirats instrumentalisent pour faire avancer leur projet de démantèlement du Soudan. Et malheureusement, ce projet de fractionnement s'étendra à l'Afrique. À lire aussiAntonio Guterres, secrétaire général de l'ONU: «Il faut cesser les ingérences extérieures» au Soudan Vous avez mentionné le Tchad parmi les pays impliqués dans l'envoi d'aide militaire aux FSR, mais il existe des divisions au Tchad à ce sujet, même au sein du palais présidentiel... La majorité du peuple tchadien, et pas seulement les proches du président Déby, s'oppose au financement de la guerre pour servir les intérêts des Émirats arabes unis et des Forces de soutien rapide, pour déstabiliser et démanteler le Soudan. Le Darfour est en quelque sorte, une extension du Tchad, socialement parlant, et le Tchad est l'extension du Darfour... Par conséquent, la majorité de la population tchadienne, notamment les proches du président, se considère comme faisant partie d'une même communauté élargie, s'étendant jusqu'à Khartoum. De ce fait, ils rejettent tous la politique de Mahamat Idriss Déby, politique qui a conduit à la destruction de villes entières, ainsi qu'à des massacres, des combats urbains, un génocide et un nettoyage ethnique. Je crois vraiment que la majorité du peuple tchadien rejette cette politique. Quel intérêt a le président tchadien à s'impliquer dans cette guerre ? Nous ignorons quel serait son intérêt, mais peut-être qu'il s'y est impliqué par manque d'expérience. Vous avez récemment accusé l'Éthiopie de s'ingérer également dans la guerre au Soudan ? Bien entendu, ces faits sont corroborés par d'autres sources, par d'autres pays, y compris des pays dotés de technologies et de capacités avancées ; il ne s'agit pas d'une accusation soudanaise. Toutefois, il est clair que de multiples attaques ont été perpétrées depuis l'Éthiopie par les milices des Forces de soutien rapide, ainsi que par le Mouvement populaire de libération du Soudan-Nord, de Abdelaziz el Hilu, allié aux Forces de soutien rapide. À lire aussiAu Soudan, la guerre oubliée du reste du monde et dont personne ne voit la fin La prolongation de la durée de la guerre, bientôt trois ans, ne vous fait-elle pas craindre la division réelle du pays, qu'un État séparé ne soit annoncé au Darfour ? Bien sûr, les forces étrangères qui ont déclenché cette guerre et qui continuent à l'alimenter cherchaient à s'emparer de tout le Soudan. N'ayant pas atteint leurs objectifs, elles ont eu recours à la partition du pays, ou du moins, elles cherchent à conserver le Darfour et certaines régions du Kordofan. Mais cela est inacceptable pour le peuple soudanais. L'ensemble de la population soudanaise est aujourd'hui mobilisé, aux côtés des forces armées, des forces conjointes et d'autres encore. Tous sont sur le terrain pour rejeter ce projet, et c'est pourquoi il ne réussira pas. Appelez-vous les Émirats à un dialogue direct avec les autorités soudanaises ? Voilà ce qui est nécessaire : nous exigeons depuis longtemps que le rôle des Émirats arabes unis se limite à un dialogue bilatéral entre le Soudan et les Émirats, afin de discuter de réconciliation et d'un retour à des relations normales entre les deux pays. Notamment en matière d'échange de bénéfices et de partage de ressources. Nous refusons son ingérence, son soutien aux milices et aux crimes majeurs commis par les milices des Forces de soutien rapide, tels que le génocide et les crimes de guerre. Tout cela avec le soutien des Émirats arabes unis. À lire aussiSoudan: «El-Fasher est détruite, et bien que la ville ait été nettoyée, il reste des munitions au sol» Mais que cherchent les Émirats en entrant avec force dans cette guerre ? Les richesses du pays ? Je ne sais pas. Si la richesse est ce qu'ils cherchent, ils ne l'auront que par le dialogue bilatéral. Il est parfaitement naturel que nous échangions des ressources. La richesse devrait être partagée par les voies officielles : le commerce, les avantages mutuels, les investissements bilatéraux, etc.  Il n'y a aucune raison pour qu'ils s'impliquent, pour que de tels crimes soient commis, et pour qu'ils se salissent les mains de sang. Nous ignorons les raisons de tout cela. Masaad Boulos, le conseiller américain pour l'Afrique mène des efforts pour mettre fin à la guerre, comment voyez-vous le rôle américain dans cette crise ? Le rôle américain est primordial. Il doit être officiel. Masaad Boulos a rencontré des responsables soudanais à plusieurs reprises, mais hors du Soudan. Nous espérons que tout plan proposé sera acceptable pour le gouvernement et le peuple soudanais, qui souffre actuellement des Forces de soutien rapide et de l'ingérence internationale. Le pouvoir soudanais acceptera-t-il un plan de paix comme celui proposé pour l'est de la RDC, en partageant les richesses du Soudan avec les États-Unis ? J'ignore quelle proposition sera présentée. Je préfère donc ne pas traverser la rivière avant d'avoir atteint le pont. Quel point important souhaitiez-vous ajouter à cet entretien ? Les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) sont un véritable fléau. Chaque ville qu'elles ont occupée est devenue désormais une ville fantôme, désertée par ses habitants. Les FSR sont une catastrophe humaine et doivent être identifiées pour ce qu'elles sont réellement : une milice, une organisation terroriste. Les FSR continuent de tuer des civils, se procurant les armes et les drones les plus sophistiqués fournis par les Émirats arabes unis, qu'elles utilisent pour tuer des civils et détruire des villes. Par conséquent, il est de la responsabilité du gouvernement et de l'armée de mettre fin à la guerre en reprenant et en sécurisant les zones encore sous leur contrôle, afin de protéger les citoyens soudanais.

In this mini episode, we're talking about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs it may be time to slow down. Not because you're failing. Not because you're falling behind. But because your body, your energy, and your spirit are asking for it. We'll explore how to listen to your body before it forces you to stop, release the fear of “letting people down,” and reframe rest as part of the work — not a reward for exhaustion. If you've been pushing through, overriding your needs, or telling yourself you'll rest “after this week,” this conversation is your gentle reminder: slowing down is not weakness — it's wisdom.

Quatrième et dernier volet de notre série de reportages en Centrafrique dans la ville de Baboua qui se relève. Située à seulement 50 kilomètres de la frontière camerounaise, cette ville diamantifère a été profondément marquée par la crise de 2013 à 2016. Longtemps laissée à elle-même, livrée à l'insécurité et au manque d'infrastructures, Baboua semblait condamnée à l'abandon. Mais aujourd'hui, un vent de renouveau souffle sur la ville. Les jeunes, en coordination avec les chefs de villages et les forces de sécurité, s'organisent pour lutter contre les bandits armés et protéger leur communauté. Grâce à leur engagement citoyen, les routes entre Baboua et la frontière sont plus sûres et les habitants peuvent reprendre leurs activités agricoles et économiques en toute sérénité. De notre correspondant de retour de Baboua, Le ciel est noyé dans le brouillard, l'air est frais. Florentin pédale en direction de la falaise de Garga-Mbongo. Sur son dos, un sac contenant un bidon d'eau et quelques vivres. Entre ses mains, un téléphone relié à un fil métallique, improvisé pour capter le réseau. « Nous sommes simplement des habitants de la ville. Nous faisons de notre mieux pour parcourir les secteurs périphériques, les champs et les zones isolées », explique-t-il. Ce matin, il a choisi de parcourir une dizaine de kilomètres au nord de la ville pour recueillir des informations. « Dans nos activités quotidiennes, nous essayons d'être curieux et de poser des questions. Nous cherchons à repérer les inconnus, à vérifier si des hommes armés ne sont pas dans le secteur et à identifier des comportements inhabituels. » Depuis le désarmement, en octobre dernier, des rebelles des 3R, conformément à l'accord de paix de Ndjamena, il n'y a plus d'attaques dans la ville de Baboua et sa périphérie. Mais certains hommes armés ont changé de stratégie et agissent désormais comme des coupeurs de route. À lire aussiCentrafrique: les chefs rebelles de l'UPC et des 3R de retour à Bangui « La population vit dans un climat de peur » « La plupart des hommes armés sont autour des chantiers miniers. Ils font des braquages et la population vit dans un climat de peur, confie Privât, un habitant de Baboua. Nous sommes là pour lutter contre le grand banditisme, les assassinats, les enlèvements et le phénomène des coupeurs de route, chacun à notre manière. » Mais l'activité de ces jeunes n'est pas sans conséquences. Anselme, un agriculteur, s'inquiète pour son fils, qui reçoit régulièrement des menaces de mort : « Mon fils continue d'aller à l'école. Un jour, il a reçu des menaces de la part de ces bandits. Certains d'entre eux sont de jeunes habitants du village. J'ai peur pour la vie de mon fils, s'alarme Anselme, mais il est déterminé. Nous avons trop souffert. Ces actes de banditisme doivent cesser. » Les autorités locales travaillent en étroite collaboration avec ces jeunes afin de rétablir l'ordre et la sécurité dans la localité. « Ce ne sont pas des groupes rebelles, indique Jean Michel Bouaka, sous-préfet de Bouar. Ces gens utilisent pour la plupart des armes artisanales pour braquer des gens qui vaquent à leurs occupations. Ces jeunes en profitent pour les braquer, pour prendre leurs biens. Mais ce ne sont pas des groupes armés en tant que tels. Nous avons nos forces. Nous avons les Facas, la gendarmerie, la police, la Minusca et les alliés russes qui sont là pour nous prêter main-forte. » La plupart de ces jeunes volontaires ont l'ambition d'intégrer le rang des Forces armées centrafricaines pour défendre leur pays contre les rebelles et les bandits.  Retrouvez les premiers épisodes de notre série sur l'Ouest centrafricain : L'Ouest centrafricain, une décennie après la crise: l'émotion des réfugiés de retour au pays [1/4] L'Ouest centrafricain, une décennie après la crise: l'hôpital de Bouar renaît [2/4] L'Ouest centrafricain, une décennie après la crise: le problème persistant des viols à Baboua [3/4]        

In the new book “A Driving Anger: The Psychology of Road Rage” Anne O'Dwyer investigates the psychological forces that make driving such fertile ground for anger. She explains how the illusion of anonymity, cognitive distortions, and the stressors of modern life can converge on the roadway turning minor inconveniences into outsized reactions.

Hier mardi, « les universités sénégalaises étaient paralysées par une grève » qui devrait se poursuivre ce mercredi et demain, relève Afrik.com. Un mouvement qui intervient « après la mort de l'étudiant Abdoulaye Ba. » C'était il y a 10 jours sur le campus. Ce décès tragique « a transformé des revendications au départ sociales en une mobilisation nationale pour la vérité et la justice », pointe le site panafricain. De plus, poursuit-il, « l'arrestation de plusieurs leaders étudiants alimente la colère sur les campus. Entre tensions sécuritaires et retards de bourses, la crise universitaire atteint un niveau inédit ». « Chute mortelle » Hier, rebondissement dans l'enquête sur la mort de l'étudiant, relate notamment Walf Quotidien : « Après le point de presse conjoint des ministres (Intérieur, Justice, Enseignement supérieur et Forces armées), le procureur de la République du tribunal de grande instance de Dakar a pris le relais. Face à la presse, Ibrahima Ndoye a écarté la thèse de la torture subie par Abdoulaye Ba, soutenue par ses camarades étudiants : "Abdoulaye Ba n'a pas été battu. Il n'y a pas eu de contact physique entre lui et les forces de défense et de sécurité. Sa mort résulte d'une chute du quatrième étage", a-t-il expliqué ». « Confronté aux flammes et aux fumées qui commençaient à l'asphyxier, précise le site Senego, Abdoulaye Ba aurait pris la décision dramatique de sauter, "atterrissant sur son côté gauche". Et c'est ce qui explique, selon le procureur, les résultats dommageables constatés par le médecin légiste sur le corps du défunt. L'enquête judiciaire confié par la sûreté urbaine et la division des investigations criminelles se poursuit afin d'établir toutes les responsabilités sur cette mort. Certains de ses camarades de chambre ont été auditionnés afin de confirmer les circonstances de l'accident ». « La chute mortelle », titre sobrement Le Soleil, qui rapporte également les conclusions du procureur. Négociations… Cette version des faits va-t-elle calmer la colère estudiantine ? Ce qui est sûr, c'est que les autorités jouent l'apaisement. « À la suite des tensions enregistrées ces derniers jours, l'Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar a engagé des concertations avec les parties prenantes, note Walf Quotidien, "en vue de trouver une issue durable" à la crise qui secoue le campus. Ces discussions, initiées par le rectorat, réunissent les partenaires sociaux et les autorités universitaires. L'objectif est d'apaiser le climat social, de rétablir la sérénité au sein de l'institution et de garantir la continuité des enseignements ». Walf qui relève également les exigences de l'UNSAS, l'Union nationale des syndicats autonomes du Sénégal, et de la CSA, la Confédération des syndicats autonomes : « Que toute la lumière soit faite sur les circonstance de la mort d'Abdoulaye Ba » et que « le pouvoir actuel fasse des réformes dans l'enseignement supérieur ». Les réseaux africains de Jeffrey Epstein À lire également ce matin dans la presse, cette enquête du Monde Afrique sur les réseaux africains de Jeffrey Epstein… « Du Sénégal à la Côte d'Ivoire en passant par le Maroc ou encore le Rwanda, l'ombre du criminel sexuel s'est étendue en Afrique, pointe le journal. Les trois millions de documents rendus publics par la justice américaine montrent que le criminel sexuel et homme d'affaires américain, mort en 2019, a appliqué sur le continent la même recette qu'ailleurs dans le monde pour étancher sa soif de pouvoir. Un écosystème où s'entremêlaient relations avec les puissants, affaires parfois troubles et prédation sexuelle ». Et Le Monde Afrique de citer plusieurs personnalités : Karim Wade, qui aurait servi d'intermédiaire pour faciliter les affaires d'Epstein ; l'Emirati Sultan Ahmed Ben Soulayem, à la tête du géant portuaire DP World, très influent en Afrique, et qui a organisé à plusieurs reprises des séjours de Jeffrey Epstein sur le continent ; ou encore, Nina Keita, mannequin, ex-conseillère ministérielle et nièce du président ivoirien Alassane Ouattara. « Partout où il est passé, le multimillionnaire a tenté de faire des affaires, relève encore Le Monde Afrique. Comme en juin 2015 au Zimbabwe, où il a cherché, en vain, à profiter du marasme financier du pays pour "mettre en place un nouveau système financier" ; ou encore, en Libye, où à l'aube de la chute de Kadhafi, l'homme d'affaires a lorgné sur les quelque 80 milliards de dollars de fonds du régime gelés à l'étranger. Son objectif : restituer ces fonds gelés au nouveau pouvoir libyen moyennant commission. Un échec ».

In this Thinking Talmudist episode on Ta'anit 22b, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the Talmudic teachings on rain as a divine blessing (geshem), its timing, and spiritual lessons from stories of Choni HaMe'agel (Choni the Circle-Maker), the greatest rain-maker in Jewish history.Key points:Rain in its proper time — Rains fall moderately (not oversaturating or leaving earth thirsty) on Wednesday and Friday nights (eves of Thursday/Shabbos) when people are home and inconvenienced minimally (demons are out, Shabbos restrictions limit travel).Excessive rain = curse — Too much rain causes mud and ruins crops; sin turns blessings away (Jeremiah 5:25). In Shimon ben Shetach's days, rains fell only on those nights until wheat kernels grew kidney-sized, barley olive-sized, lentils gold-dinar-sized—saved as examples of how sin causes ruin.Choni HaMe'agel's circle — When no rain fell until Adar, Sanhedrin sent for Choni. He drew a circle, stood in it, and swore by God's great Name he wouldn't leave until rain fell. He prayed for moderate rain (not the light sprinkle or torrents that followed); God responded to his merit. He criticized the generation's inability to handle abundance or scarcity, then prayed for rain to stop—wind blew, clouds dispersed, sun shone.Sanhedrin's praise — They likened Choni to Habakkuk (“I will stand at my post”), saying he uplifted a darkened generation through prayer, saved an “innocent” generation, and brought light to their paths.Lessons — Rain is a direct divine gift; balance is key (too much or too little = curse). Choni's oath was risky (could desecrate God's Name if unfulfilled, like Elijah's drought oath). Truthful, pure prayer brings results; merit can override a generation's sins. We must recognize rain as Hashem's hand—not coincidence.The rabbi reflects on modern disconnect from nature (food from fridge/delivery, not fields) and urges gratitude, balance, and prayer for rain as a reminder of Hashem's constant provision._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses.
