Es gibt Gedenktage, die im kollektiven Gedächtnis verankert sind und pompös gefeiert werden. Der Tag der Menschenrechte gehört nicht dazu. Dabei hätte er viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient, denn die Menschenrechte sind die Grundlage unseres zivilisierten Zusammenlebens. Daher möchte die aktuelle Folge anlässlich des Internationalen Tages der Menschenrechte am 10. Dezember daran erinnern, welche Errungenschaft es war, die Menschenrechte in Konventionen und Verfassungen zu verankern. Ein Umstand, den manche Politiker und Parteien heute schon fast als Lästigkeit empfinden. Solmaz Khorsand spricht mit dem langjährigen UN-Mitarbeiter Homayoun Alizadeh über den Zustand der Menschenrechte, die Glaubwürdigkeit der Vereinten Nationen und den sich ausbreitenden Völkerrechtszynismus. Der Menschenrechtsaktivist hat Jahrzehnte für die UNO in unterschiedlichen Funktionen in vielen Weltregionen gearbeitet, unter anderem in Ruanda, Kroatien, dem Sudan und auf den Philippinen.  Auf "Ganz offen gesagt" lässt er die vergangenen Jahrzehnte Revue passieren und teilt seine Sorge über eine Welt, in der zunehmend das Recht des Stärkeren gilt.  Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.atTranskripte und Fotos zu den Folgen findest Du auf podcastradio.at

Imagine lying in hospital, heavily pregnant (stay with me, fellas...think about yourself in this situation without the pregnant bit) and you have paralysis creeping up your legs. It starts in your feet, and each hour, doctors are coming in and doing tests, and drawing new lines on your legs as the paralysis is going higher and higher up your body. And then, after your baby is born, your pelvis is so damaged, and you're in so much pain, you are told that you won't be able to walk for 3 months. And you live in a 2-story house with a 1-year-old and a baby, and your bedroom is upstairs, with the bathroom downstairs. I can't imagine how difficult this would be to face... but this is what Saskia and her family faced. You will be amazed at Saskia and her Mum, Briar's, recounting of this story and what God does. ADDITIONAL EPISODE We briefly mention an amazing miracle of Briar's husband (and Saskia's dad) Ged - here's the link to listen to that episode https://omny.fm/shows/revival-on-the-air-today/jed-is-healed-of-a-stroke-in-front-of-the-doctorsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Chaz and Schatz welcome a true RushRash first — a father-and-son Rush podcaster duo right out of the Haggis Shack: Trent and Trion Fancher, the minds behind The Digital Man and His Analog Kid podcast.From womb-level Rush exposure to diaper-drumming, from attic-found Neil promo pics to a Rush-themed studio complete with the sacred pinball machine, the Fanchers take us through a lifetime of prog devotion. Trent shares stories from touring with Wayne Brady, playing Massey Hall, and assembling his own Neil Peart-inspired fortress of chimes and cowbells. Trion talks bass wizardry, Midwest emo, band life in Birmingham, and discovering the full Rush discography the right way — chronologically and obsessively.We dive deep into:

Was heißt es eigentlich, Demokratie im Familienalltag zu leben? Wie stärken wir unsere Kinder darin, ihre Meinung zu äußern, Verantwortung zu übernehmen und dabei empathisch und kritisch zu bleiben? Und wie schaffen wir es selbst, politisch wirksam zu sein, obwohl der Alltag oft schon am Limit ist? In dieser Folge sprechen Danielle und Katja mit Natascha Sagorski, Aktivistin, Autorin und Mutter, über alltagstaugliches politisches Engagement, demokratische Rituale in der Familie, den Umgang mit Rechtsextremismus, Social Media und die Frage, warum gute Familienpolitik kein „Gedöns“ ist, sondern das Fundament unserer Demokratie. +++Shownotes:Nataschas Buch "Wie wir mit unseren Kindern die Demokratie verteidigen": https://amzn.to/4ksj2LP, Natascha bei Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natascha_sagorski, Nataschas NGO: www.familiesindalle.de und das neue Netzwerk: www.unternehmenmithaltung.de, Natascha erwähnte: das Buch "Im Dschungel wird gewählt": https://amzn.to/3TtcVMb, logo! erklärt: Was Demokratie bedeutet: https://www.logo.de/demokratie-einfach-erklaert-100.html, Löwenzahn "Demokratie - Alle machen mit!": https://www.zdf.de/video/magazine/loewenzahn-mit-fritz-fuchs-100/demokratie-alle-machen-mit-100, Social Media Schattenplatz: www.kindersache.de+++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern findet ihr hier: https://linktr.ee/Wunschkind_Podcast ++++++ Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.html +++ Wir verarbeiten im Zusammenhang mit dem Angebot unserer Podcasts Daten.

Was gibt es Schöneres, als an jedem ersten Tag der Woche daran zu denken, was die beiden Teile des Gedächtnismahls wirklich bedeuten. Sie weisen auf Christus hin.

Welcome back to another episode of Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I'm Marty, and today I want to talk about something a listener asked a few weeks ago. How does one choose a career, and more specifically, how do they end up in the light industrial, warehousing, and transportation fields.  One of the things I've learned over the decades is that very few people wake up at 18 years old and say, I'm going to be a forklift operator, or I'm going to build a career in a distribution center.  In my opinion most careers aren't chosen, they're found. They're shaped by our experiences, opportunities, influences, and sometimes just plain necessity.  But once people get here, once they get that first real taste of what this work is like, the stability, the opportunity, the teamwork, a lot of them stay. And that's what I'd like to talk about today.  Let's start with a simple truth: most people don't choose a career the way a high school guidance counselor might describe it. It's not a straight line.   It's often a mix of exposure, timing, skill, personality, and need.  Let me try and make that make sense. Many of us choose careers based on what we've seen growing up. If your parents, uncles, or neighbors worked in a warehouse or drove trucks, that's what you were exposed to. If your first job was unloading trucks at a retail store or working seasonal shifts for a local DC, that experience sticks with you. My father was president of a regional catalogue distribution center. From a young age I was exposed to the warehouse, all the inbound and outbound chaos and seeing all the equipment in action. I was in DECA in high school, my junior and senior years I went to school half a day and then off to work after that. Distributive Education Clubs of America was an eye opener for me and helped point me towards a work ethic I still hold today. Anyway, I digress a bit there. What was I talking about. Ok, I don't know where I was going, I think I wanted to mention my first jobs we're in a warehouse because I had an in to those distribution centers! All that's a story for another episode.    I think a lot of young people today enter this industry because a friend says, Hey, my place is hiring, or they hear that a local warehouse pays a few dollars more per hour than their retail job. That's what I mean by exposure.  You can't choose what you don't know exists.  Now, in our world, once someone takes that first general labor position or that first shift at loading trailers, something happens. They either realize it's not for them, or they say, You know what, I think I like this.  And that's often the moment their career begins, sometimes without them even realizing it.   Another major factor I mentioned earlier is need. Jobs are often chosen because someone needs a paycheck this week, not a degree three years from now. And that's one of the biggest advantages of the light industrial and warehousing world, it is accessible.  You don't need an ivy league education. You don't need months of training. A good staffing agency or warehouse can hire you, orient you, and get you earning a paycheck quickly in a week.  For someone supporting a family, or someone just starting out and needing to get on their feet, that's huge. A lot of careers begin because the industry said, we'll give you a chance right now.   People also lean into what they're naturally good at. Some people are hands-on workers. Some learn best by doing. Some have great attention to detail. Others thrive in louder, busier environments.  Warehousing fits a wide range of capabilities. If you like movement, there's selecting, loading, unloading. If you like operating equipment, there's forklift, rider pallet jacks, and PIT operation. If you're detail-oriented, there's inventory control and quality assurance. If you're a natural leader, there's a path from lead to supervisor to manager.  Many people choose this industry simply because they discover, sometimes accidentally  that the work fits who they are.  We sometimes forget that personality drives career choice as well. Some individuals do not want to sit at a desk. They don't want to be in customer service all day. They want to move, think, act, sweat, accomplish, and see their results.  Warehousing and transportation offer that. Every shift has a measurable outcome. Pallets moved. Trailers loaded. Orders filled. Goals hit or exceeded. For the right personality, that environment feels rewarding, even energizing.   And this might be the most important factor of all. A single person can completely influence someone's career path. Our mentors, even unknown mentors, have a lot more influence on us than we may realize. Maybe it was a supervisor who said, you'd be great on a forklift, let's get you trained. Maybe it was a lead who showed you how to wrap a pallet right and said, you're picking this up fast. Maybe it was a trainer who spent extra time showing you a safer way to work and said, I see potential in you, you'll be able to take my place one day. That's 3 true examples I experienced.  Those moments matter. They turn jobs into careers. They help people believe in themselves, sometimes for the first time.   And then let's be honest, sometimes people end up in a job simply because it was the easiest open door. They applied. They got hired. They started. And they stayed. And there's nothing wrong with that. Many long, successful careers begin by chance. But what matters is what happens after that first step.  So now, let's talk about why so many workers who enter this field end up staying and building entire careers here. There are a lot of reasons. Not everyone is meant for college. And not everyone wants it. Warehousing levels the playing field. You can start with a high school diploma, a GED, or just the willingness to learn. You don't need prior experience. You don't need certifications. You don't need years of training. If you show up consistently and work safely, the industry will teach you everything else. That opens doors for thousands of workers who want a real career but don't have access to college or technical schools or the time those commitments take to start earning.    One of the biggest advantages of our field is that advancement is based on performance, not the politics. A general laborer who works hard, shows up every day, and follows safety rules and procedures can move from position to position quickly. I see it all the time. General labor to Forklift operator, Forklift operator to Lead, Lead to Supervisor, Supervisor to Manager, and Manager to Operations leadership like Director or Vice president.   If you want to climb the ladder, the ladder is there, and it's real. I've seen people go from sweeping floors to running departments. I've even seen people go on to run entire facilities.  That's the beauty of this career path, you can grow as fast as your attitude and effort will carry you.  People sometimes think warehousing is just moving boxes. But as we've learned this last couple of quarters, this industry is incredibly diverse. There are roles in Equipment operation, Inventory control, Quality assurance, I should have made some notes here, what else, oh, Replenishment, Receiving, Shipping, Dispatch, Transportation, building Maintenance, and two of my favorites Safety, Training, many different Management positions, and even HR and recruiting.  The variety gives us workers options. We can grow sideways, upward, or into completely new areas, all within the same building. What other industry can give us all that!    And many entry-level associates discover quickly that general labor in a warehouse pays several dollars more per hour than retail or food service. Then they see the overtime opportunities. The shift premiums. And the potential bonuses. Suddenly, they're not just earning a paycheck, they're earning a living. I think this is one of the top reasons people stay. Warehousing and transportation reward productivity and effort. And that motivates workers to commit to the industry long-term. One of my opinions for free!   Some people need to feel accomplished. They want to look back at the end of the shift and say, everything is all wrapped up.  Warehousing gives them that. You see progress. You see results. You see the work you put in. You don't have to wonder if you made an impact, you can see it in the cases picked, pallets stacked, trailers loaded, and shift goals achieved. That sense of accomplishment always kept me coming back for the next shift.  And It's a Stable, Growing Industry Let's face it, the supply chain isn't going anywhere. Even during recessions, warehouses keep running. Even during pandemics, trucks keep moving. People always need, Food, home Products, Medications, and Supplies. And as e-commerce continues to grow, so does the demand for distribution centers, fulfillment centers, cross-docks, last-mile delivery, and transportation. Workers like stability. They like knowing their job will still be here tomorrow. Warehousing and the supply chain offers that.  And this industry teaches skills we can take anywhere, equipment operation, Safety practices, systems and RF scanners, Inventory processes, Quality checks, Time management, the importance of accuracy and Leadership and communication. These aren't just job skills, there our they're career skills. And once you have them, you're employable in almost any warehouse or distribution environment across the country.  Another thing I've always loved about the industry is how Warehouses are often 24/7 operations. That means people can choose shifts that work best for them and the family, mornings, afternoons, nights, weekends, or rotating even schedules. For young parents, students, or workers with second jobs, that flexibility can be a major advantage.  I feel, when you look at the big picture, people choose warehousing, light industrial, and transportation careers because they see opportunity. These industries offer that chance to start immediately, a chance to earn a good wage, the opportunity to grow fast and to learn valuable skills that can support our family and to build a long-term, stable career.  And the most important part? They provide it to anyone willing to work, show up, stay safe, and take pride in what they do. So, if you're new to this industry or you're just getting started, or if you're trying to find your path, know this. You don't have to have all the answers today. You don't need to have your life all figured out. You just need to start. Build skills. Learn. Ask questions. Show up. Stay safe. Take pride in your work.    As you know I could talk about operations all day, so I'll move on and say thanks for joining me today, and thanks for being part of an industry that keeps America running. Until next week, stay safe, stay focused, and keep building your career one shift at a time!

This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged welcomes Ben Coles from The Observer to break down Wales' performance in their defeat to New Zealand, a match where, despite a 26–52 scoreline, there were genuine signs of progress under new head coach Steve Tandy. Ben explains why Wales' first 50 minutes showed far more fight and structure than many expected, from Tom Rogers' historic hat-trick to a dominant aerial battle and a clearer tactical identity. We explore whether this marks the beginning of a rebuild or simply a rare bright spell in a turbulent era. The conversation also dives deep into the chaos surrounding the WRU and the regional restructure, with ongoing uncertainty over which region will disappear as Welsh rugby moves from four teams to three. Ben gives insight into how the instability is affecting players, coaches, and the national side's ability to prepare. Looking ahead, Ged and Ben preview a daunting clash with South Africa, with Wales set to lose several players due to release regulations, and discuss what “progress” really looks like at this stage of the rebuild.

AGT, CNN, The ViewLots of Great Stuff Happening for Landau, International Travel, New Music, Family & Fatherhood! Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. first burst onto the national conscience as the Sinatra-and-Soul singing  on NBC TV's “America's Got Talent with his incredible voice, undeniable charisma and unparalleled showmanship.  And a decade later, he's still going strong.Seeing Landau in concert is a revelation; backed by the dynamic Landau Big Band, you'll always hear swinging arrangements of Great American Songbook classics from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat ‘King' Cole and many more, along with a dusting of that special Motown Magic that is sure to move your feet and make you sing along.And after the show, every show, you'll always have the opportunity to meet Landau one-on-one for photos and have the chance to talk with him about his incredible rags-to-riches story.  “It's my favorite part of the night; it's something we always do. Sometimes I'm the last one at the venue, talking to fans and friends. The janitor is waiting on me to lock up!”Landau was born into extreme poverty in the Appalachian coalfields of southern West Virginia. His parents split while he was in elementary school, and Landau was shipped off to Detroit in the middle of the night. He woke up in the Motor Cities notoriously gang and drug-riddled “7 Mile” neighborhood. Landau likes to say that he went from Almost Heaven to Little Baghdad overnight!“I loved to play basketball in Detroit, and these guys were good. Some of them went onto the NBA. But we were in the hood; it wasn't anything to see guns drawn on the court after the game, so to keep people cool and laughing, when I'd dunk on someone, I'd sing a Frank Sinatra song like “Fly Me To The Moon” and everyone would laugh and put their guns away.”At the end of his rope, Landau tied a knot and pulled himself back up by auditioning for NBC TV's “America's Got Talent” with thousands of others. After months of competition, Landau emerged the winner, scoring a million dollars, a recording contract, and America's hearts, and he's never looked back.Landau's Columbia Records debut album “That's Life” reached number one on the Billboard Jazz Charts and was followed by “Christmas Made For Two”, “Landau” and his latest “Landau Live In Las Vegas” recorded during a performance at the legendary Caesar's Palace.  Landau has made dozens of TV appearances including “The Today Show”, “The View”, CNN, “Fox and Friends”, “The Talk”, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Hollywood Christmas Parade.He's helped raise millions of dollars for charities, many in his home state of West Virginia where he serves on the Board of Directors for the Children's Home Society of West Virginia and was named “West Virginian of the Year” by the Governor's office and the state's largest newspaper.I Landau proudly released LANDAU LIVE IN LAS VEGAS a pre-pandemic recording at Caesars Palace that includes several never-before-released tracks. Enjoy Landau's unique take on the Great American Songbook as well as classic R&B, all backed by his long-time stellar musicians in LANDAU'S LITTLE BIG BAND, with guest background vocals by former Temptations and Four Tops lead singer Theo Peoples!© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23bAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Plötzlich nichts oder nicht mehr richtig riechen: Welche Konsequenzen das für unsere Gesundheit, unser Verhalten und unsere Emotionen hat, wird einem erst in dieser Situation so richtig bewusst. «Puls» besucht Betroffene und gibt Einblicke in die unterschätzte Welt der Düfte. Wie riecht Bern? Zu Besuch in der Erlebniswelt der Gerüche Welche Wirkung Gerüche auf unser Erleben haben können, erfährt «Puls»-Host Daniela Lager bei einer ganz besonderen Stadtführung durch Bern: Die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Bundeshauptstadt sind dort nicht nur zu sehen, sondern auch zu riechen. Eine HNO-Ärztin ist mit unterwegs und ordnet die Bedeutung des Geruchssinns ein. Parosmie – Riechen, aber falsch Sonia, 39, verlor durch Covid ihren Geruchssinn und entwickelte in der Folge eine Verzerrung des Geruchssinns, eine Parosmie: Seife statt Melone, Benzin statt Mandarine – ihr Duft-Alltag ist geprägt von Ekel und Isolation. Seit vier Jahren meidet sie Restaurants und soziale Anlässe. Alle Therapieversuche sind bislang gescheitert, doch die Hoffnung lebt weiter. Ansomie – Leben ohne Geruch Florian, 47, lebt seit 18 Jahren mit Anosmie, dem kompletten Verlust des Geruchssinns. Welch einschneidende Konsequenzen das für Alltag und Psyche hat, konnte er kaum jemandem begreiflich machen. Die Corona-Pandemie hat daran einiges geändert: Viele Menschen wissen nun, was nur schon ein vorübergehender Geruchsverlust bedeutet. Duft-Gedächtnis – Mehr Wohlbefinden für Alzheimer-Betroffene Düfte wie Kaffee oder Schokolade lösen bei Alzheimer-Betroffenen Emotionen und Erinnerungen aus – selbst in fortgeschrittenen Stadien. Im Pflegeheim Charmey FR wird der Geruchssinn gezielt zur Aktivierung des autobiografischen Gedächtnisses eingesetzt. Die olfaktorische Stimulation beruhigt, stärkt das Wohlbefinden und kann den Krankheitsverlauf verlangsamen. «Puls»-Chat zum Thema Geruchsstörungen Riecht plötzlich alles seltsam? Machen Sie sich Sorgen, dass der Geruchssinn nicht mehr zurückkommen könnte? Möchten Sie wissen, ab wie vielen Tagen ein Geruchsverlust bedenklich ist? Oder wie sich der Geruchssinn im Alltag trainieren lässt? Fachpersonen beantworten am Montag von 21.00 bis 23.00 Uhr Ihre Fragen – live im Chat. Fragen können vorab eingereicht werden.

Im Hafenkonzert-Podcast geht es dieses Mal um ein Thema, das in jeder Küche steckt – und das seit Jahrhunderten eng mit Hamburg verbunden ist: Gewürze. Von Pfeffer, Curry und Kardamom über Safran und Vanille bis zu Zimt – sie alle haben spannende Geschichten, weltumspannende Handelswege und oft auch bittere koloniale Wurzeln. Wir besuchen das Spicy's Gewürzmuseum in der Speicherstadt, wo einst die berühmten „Pfeffersäcke“ ihre Kolonialwaren lagerten. Wir sprechen mit Historikerinnen, Linguistinnen und Kaufleuten darüber, wie Gewürze früher veredelt wurden, wie ihr Handel funktionierte – und warum so viele Redensarten rund um Pfeffer, Schärfe und Reichtum entstanden sind. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf die Kontrollen der Hafenbehörde, hören von unvergesslichen Gerüchen, reisen gedanklich bis nach Sansibar – und bekommen zum Schluss noch einen Buchtipp für alle, die tiefer in die Welt der Gewürze eintauchen möchten. ⸻ Die Themen im Einzelnen:

Heute begehen wir mit der Kirche einen interessanten Tag. Er heißt "Unsere Liebe Frau in Jerusalem" und hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte: In einem apokryphen, also nicht anerkannten Jakobusevangelium wird erzählt, dass Joachim und Anna ihre Tochter Maria zum Tempel nach Jerusalem bringen, damit sie dort aufwächst und erzogen wird. Später feiert man an dem Tag die Einweihung der Marienkirche in Jerusalem im Jahr 543. Im 8. Jahrhundert in Konstantinopel gefeiert, dauert es bis ins 15. Jahrhundert, bis dieser Tag für die ganze katholische Kirche vorgeschriebener Feiertag wird.Was mich an diesem Tag fasziniert, ist, dass dieses Gedächtnis in ganz vielen Kirchen begangen wird: in der orthodoxen Kirche und der armenischen, in der koptischen Kirche sogar als Fest, in der syrisch-orthodoxen und der maronitischen Kirche. In einem wundervollen alten Hymnus heißt es:"Du große Herrin, schönste Frau, hoch über Sternen steht dein Thron.Du trugst den Schöpfer, der dich schuf, und nährtest ihn an deiner Brust.Was Eva einst verloren sah, gibst du im Sohne reich zurück.Der Himmel öffnet sich in dir; zur Heimkehr steht der Weg uns frei.Du Pforte für den Königssohn, des neuen Lichtes helles Tor,in dir grüßt jauchzend alle Welt das Leben, das du ihr geschenkt.Herr Jesus, dir sei Ruhm und Preis, Gott, den die Jungfrau uns gebar,Lob auch dem Vater und dem Geist durch alle Zeit und Ewigkeit. Amen."Und in diesem Lied wird die Liebe der Menschen zur Mutter Maria deutlich, aber eben auch, dass es um ihren Sohn geht, den sie in die Welt gebracht hat und für den sie ihre Lebenspläne aufgegeben und sich Gott zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Als fromme Powerfrau, die sehr wohl um ihren Platz in der Geschichte Gottes mit den Menschen gewusst hat.

In dieser Folge ist Sean David zu Gast, der für seine Liebe zu Retro bekannt ist und damit einen besonderen Blick auf das Thema Nostalgie mitbringt. Gemeinsam gehen wir der Frage nach, ob Filme früher wirklich besser waren oder ob unser Gedächtnis die Vergangenheit verklärt. Dabei sprechen wir über persönliche Erinnerungen, den Wert von Retro-Kultur und darüber, wie sehr Nostalgie unsere Wahrnehmung prägt. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick auf aktuelle Neustarts wie Eddington, SISU 2, Keeper, Wicked 2 und sprechen über besondere Szenen, Filmlängen, Musik sowie die Herausforderung, mit wenig Budget einen Film zu realisieren. 00:00:00 Start 00:40:15 Being Eddie 00:48:03 Neustarts der Woche 00:55:34 Eddington 01:10:45 Sisu: Road to Revenge 01:17:43 Keeper Sean und seine 80er findet ihr hier: https://www.youtube.com/@RealSeanDavidTV Alle Pech und Schwafel Links auf einen Blick: beacons.ai/zweiwiepechundschwafel Alle Werbepartner, Promoaktionen und weiterführende Infos findest du hier: https://linktr.ee/zweiwiepechundschwafel

Schach gilt als Spiel der Könige – und als echter Intelligenztest. Doch woran liegt es, dass einige scheinbar mühelos Figuren ziehen, während andere immer wieder scheitern?

We trace James's journey from premature birth and the loss of his twin to years of school struggles, bullying, hidden shame, and a relentless search for identity that finally lands in secure sonship and freedom in Christ.

This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by writer and rugby storyteller Luke Upton to break down a huge few days for Welsh rugby. Wales finally claimed their first home victory in two years, but they had to do it the hard way, leaving it until Jarrod Evans' last-kick winner against Japan. Ged and Luke discuss the performance, the positives and concerns, and what this dramatic finish tells us about where Wales are heading under Steve Tandy. With the dust still settling, attention turns to the announcement of Wales' plans for the new Nations Championship, how the structure will impact Tier 1 and Tier 2 competition, and what it means for long-term Welsh development and competitiveness. Then it's back to Welsh rugby politics: the latest twist in the WRU vs regions dispute, including reports that Dragons representatives walked out just 10 minutes into a meeting with the union. What does this say about trust, communication, and the direction of the professional game? Finally, the boys look ahead to the Wales v All Blacks clash, selection questions, tactical tweaks, and whether Wales can build on the Japan win or risk being overwhelmed.

Gwen Allen would live one of the most traumatizing experiences of her life as she witnessed her best friend participating in her high school pre-graduation preparations while she sat at home with a new born child. This moment would forever define the course of her life as she made a promise to her mother that she would never give up until she got her high school diploma. That promised would be aggressively tested but Gwen would learn to bend but not break. Through faith in Jesus Christ, prayer and hard work, she would soon become a beacon of hope for anyone that came in contact with her. She would not only get her GED, bachelors degree, nursing license and Masters degree but she would also go on to be the second African American director of surgery at Saint Anthony's hospital for seven years before retiring. She wants her testimony to inspire anyone who feels like the world has given up on them. Her belief is that anyone can make a come back from bad choices or situations if you believe!   The Movement with Mongo proudly presents an episode that we call - If Gwen can then you can! My mama's comeback story!

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageHeadlines can heat the blood; evidence steadies the mind. We step back from election drama to explore Thomas Sowell's lifetime of clear thinking on prices, incentives, culture, and the hard truth that there are no solutions—only trade-offs. From a hardscrabble childhood and a GED to Harvard, Chicago, and the Hoover Institution, Sowell's journey shapes a method: test claims against outcomes, not intentions. That approach leads us into the politics of “affordable” promises, why price signals matter, and how well-meaning policies can shrink the very prosperity they aim to expand.We dig into Sowell's early work at the Department of Labor and his influential findings on minimum wage effects for low-skilled workers, especially black teenagers. We read from The Thomas Sowell Reader to unpack the affordability fallacy and trace the historical costs of price controls that produced shortages and hunger. Then we widen the lens: the welfare state's incentive problem, the constrained versus unconstrained visions from A Conflict of Visions, and what Hayek's knowledge problem tells us about why markets outperform central planning by discovering information rather than pretending to possess it.Culture, too, plays a pivotal role. We discuss patterns highlighted in Black Rednecks and White Liberals, the portability of skills across migrant communities, and the controversy and clarity around affirmative action mismatch and outcomes after California's Prop 209. Through it all, we keep returning to Sowell's style: relentlessly empirical, comparative across countries and centuries, and immune to flattery or faction. If you're ready to think harder, start with Basic Economics, then move to A Conflict of Visions, and let the data change your mind where it should.If this conversation sharpened your thinking, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves big ideas, and leave a review so more curious listeners can find us.Key Points from the Episode:• Sowell's early life, military service, and academic rise  • Lessons from labor economics and minimum wage data  • The “affordable” fallacy and the role of price signals  • Historical failures of price controls and shortages  • Trade-offs versus intentions in welfare policy  • Constrained and unconstrained visions of human nature  • Culture, skills, and group outcomes across countries  • Affirmative action mismatch and graduation rates  • Hayekian knowledge, markets, and adaptation  • Recommended books and a reading path for newcomersOther resources: Want to leave a review?

In der Nacht vom 13. November 2015 richteten Attentäter in Paris 130 Menschen hin. Die meisten davon - rund 90 Menschen - starben in der Konzerthalle Bataclan. Es war eine Terrornacht, die sich ins internationale Gedächtnis brannte, besonders aber ins Französische, wo diese Tage den Opfern gedacht wird.Auch bei Maximilien Catu kommen viele Emotionen hoch. Er ging damals spontan mit Freunden zum Konzert der Eagles of Death Metal ins Bataclan - und erlebte hautnah, wie die Attentäter plötzlich das Feuer eröffneten. Er überlebt – und findet in dieser Nacht für sich eine zweite Familie.Wie erinnert sich Catu an diese Nacht? Was hat er genau erlebt? Und was bleibt in Paris und in Frankreich davon?

Dezember 2023: Seit Wochen regnet es. Die Flüsse im Land sind randvoll, Wiesen und Äcker können keinen Regen mehr aufnehmen. Doch es hört nicht auf. An Weihnachten spitzt sich die Lage zu. In mehreren Bundesländern treten Flüsse über die Ufer, eigentlich kleine Bäche verwandeln sich in Ströme. Von oben betrachtet gleichen Nordrhein-Westfalen und Niedersachsen einer Seenlandschaft. Zehntausende Feuerwehrleute und andere Hilfskräfte sind über die Feiertage im Dauereinsatz, um Menschen und Tiere zu schützen, um mobile Deiche zu erreichten und bestehende mit Sandsäcken zu verstärken. Denn durch die Kraft des Wasser weichen sie nach und nach auf. Auch Patrick Vosgröne aus Enger in Ostwestfalen rückt in den Tagen mit seinen Kameraden immer wieder aus, stapelt stundenlang in der Kälte Sandsäcke - statt in Ruhe die Weihnachtszeit zu genießen. Die neuesten Folgen des NDR Feuerwehr-Podcasts gibt es immer zuerst in der ARD Audiothek. https://1.ard.de/meineinsatz10 Im Podcast "Mein Einsatz" sprechen Freiwillige Feuerwehrleute mit NDR Reporter Torben Hildebrandt und Feuerwehrfrau Theresa Balzer über Einsätze, die sich ins Gedächtnis eingebrannt haben.

This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by rugby writer Iestyn Thomas to react to a challenging start to Steve Tandy's reign as Wales head coach, as his side are brushed aside by Argentina in his first match in charge. Was it all bad news, or were there some signs of progress amid the defeat? Ged and Iestyn break down the performance, from defensive structure and discipline to the new coaching approach, and ask whether Tandy's ideas are beginning to take shape. They also discuss the devastating injury to Jac Morgan, what his absence means for leadership and selection, and who might step up ahead of the Japan game. From tactics and team identity to player development and pathways, this episode takes a balanced look at where Welsh rugby stands after Week One of the Steve Tandy era and what needs to happen next.

Zweiräder mit Elektroantrieb werden immer beliebter und bewegen Jung und Alt still und schnell durch Stadt und Land. Die Kehrseite des Booms: immer mehr Unfälle mit schweren Verletzungen. «Puls» nennt die Gründe und zeigt, was es braucht, damit die Schweizer Strassen wieder sicherer werden. E-Bike-Unfälle – Wenn Geschwindigkeit zur Gefahr wird Die Zahl schwerer Verletzungen nach E-Bike- und E-Trottinett-Unfällen steigt rasant. Fachleute schlagen deshalb Alarm: Schädel-Hirn-Traumata sind häufig und ähneln jenen nach Motorradunfällen. «Puls» zeigt, wie hohes Tempo und mangelnde Erfahrung zur lebensbedrohlichen Kombination werden. Ein Sturz mit Folgen – Christians Leben nach dem E-Bike-Unfall Was als entspannte Fahrt im Wald beginnt, endet für Christian in einer Katastrophe: Eine schwere Kopfverletzung verändert sein Leben schlagartig. «Puls» zeigt, wie er seit dem Schädel-Hirn-Trauma mit Gedächtnisverlust, Konzentrationsproblemen und ständiger Müdigkeit kämpft. Mit Schwung ins Spital – Samuels fatale Fahrt auf dem E-Trottinett In der Schweiz hat sich auch die Zahl der gemeldeten E-Trottinett-Unfälle in fünf Jahren von 100 auf 3500 vervielfacht. Besonders betroffen sind junge Menschen, die häufig ohne Helm und unter Alkoholeinfluss unterwegs sind. Der tragische Fall von Samuel zeigt, wie lebensverändernd ein Sturz sein kann: Erst nach wochenlangem künstlichem Koma und Monaten der Rehabilitation findet er langsam wieder zurück ins Leben. Mehr Sicherheit – Zeit für ein Umdenken Die Folgen der schweren Unfälle belasten nicht nur die Betroffenen, sondern auch die Gesellschaft. Expertinnen und Experten fordern deshalb ein Umdenken in der Verkehrsplanung. «Puls» zeigt, wie bessere Infrastruktur und mehr Bewegung nicht nur Leben retten, sondern auch Milliarden sparen können.

„Wir leben nicht in einer Zivilisation, sondern in einer Zuvielisation – von allem zu viel. Und das überfordert unser Gehirn.“ – Professor Dr. Volker Busch ist Neurologe, Psychiater, Bestsellerautor, Podcaster und einer der renommiertesten Experten für mentale Gesundheit, Fokus und Schlaf. Er erklärt, warum unser Gehirn mit der permanenten Reizflut des modernen Lebens schlicht überfordert ist und wie wir lernen können, wieder klarer zu denken und unseren Fokus zurückzugewinnen. In dieser Folge BUNTE VIP GLOSS spricht Podcast-Host Jennifer Knäble mit dem Experten über mentale Hygiene, Denkpausen und die Kunst, loszulassen. Er zeigt, wie wir unser Gehirn pflegen, statt es ständig zu überfordern: Multitasking ist ein Irrtum, Pausen sind notwendig und Aufmerksamkeit muss trainiert werden wie ein Muskel. Gezielte Routinen helfen, das Gehirn langfristig gesund zu halten: Bewusste Atmung – vier Sekunden ein, acht Sekunden aus – aktiviert den Parasympathikus und senkt den Stresspegel messbar. Bewegung und der Kontakt mit der Natur fördern emotionale Stabilität und kognitive Leistungsfähigkeit. Schlaf regeneriert Nervenzellen und stärkt das Gedächtnis. Und Ernährung ist dabei weit mehr als Energiezufuhr: Wasser, Omega-3-Fettsäuren, Vitamin D und B-Vitamine gelten als echte Brain Foods für Konzentration, Stimmung und mentale Stärke. Die wichtigsten Aussagen von Prof. Dr. Volker Busch: „Die meisten Gedächtnisprobleme sind keine Demenz, sondern Aufmerksamkeitsprobleme durch Ablenkung.“ „Natur erdet – sie verkleinert das Ego und beruhigt den Kopf.“ „Atmung ist Neurobiologie zum Anfassen: Vier Sekunden ein, acht Sekunden aus – und der Stresspegel fährt runter.“ „KI spart Denkarbeit – aber wer Denken ständig auslagert, trainiert es nicht.“ „Weniger To-dos, mehr Fokus: Loslassen schafft Zufriedenheit.“ „Der stabilste Frieden entsteht in uns – durch Zuversicht und gute Gedanken vor dem Schlaf.“ Ein Gespräch über geistige Klarheit und das Wiedererlangen der Fähigkeit, im richtigen Moment abzuschalten.

David Lee Windecher is a trailblazing criminal defense attorney, author, and activist in the social justice movement to end mass incarceration, reduce recidivism and redress racial inequity in the criminal justice system. In his autobiography The American Dream / HiSstory in the Making, David shares the harsh realities of growing up as an impoverished immigrant on the streets of Miami-Dade County. He was arrested 13 times and spent over 7 months incarcerated as a juvenile. He dropped out of high school and joined a gang for protection. His street name was Red. David endured the brutal climate of the lawlessness on the streets by both criminals and the police. All the while he dreamed of becoming a lawyer and fighting for those who don't have the resources to pay for justice. David began his path to self-rehabilitation when he earned his GED in March of 1998 and took his first academic steps toward his childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from American Intercontinental University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2005 and earned his Juris Doctorate degree from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, Georgia in 2012. David was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 2012 and the Florida Bar in 2014. David is a member of the Georgia and Florida Court of Appeals, the Georgia and Florida Supreme Court, the Northern District of Georgia United States District Court and the American Bar Association. David specializes in criminal defense, juvenile law, and expungement procedures.

Jennifer Stanford Vogt is an established professional in the human services sector, with a career deeply influenced by serendipity and her belief in divine intervention. A graduate of Keuka College in 2008, Jennifer began her journey as a job readiness and GED instructor, eventually transitioning into the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Her roles have included direct support professional (DSP) and staff development trainer, and her insights are further informed by her personal experience as a parent of a child with multiple diagnoses, including autism and epilepsy. Currently, Jennifer serves as the Associate Director of Education and Training at eVero Corporation, leading teams in creating impactful learning programs and fostering innovation in the sector.Episode Summary:In this engaging episode of DSP Talk, host Asheley Blaise welcomes Jennifer Stanford Vogt, whose path through the realms of human service and parenthood brings an invaluable perspective on the interplay between direct support professionals (DSPs) and families. Jennifer shares how her dual experiences as both a parent and a DSP have shaped her understanding of these roles as a partnership built on empathy and effective communication. Her narrative underscores the mutual effort needed for individuals with disabilities to flourish, spotlighting how these interactions can foster personal growth, skill development, and emotional well-being.Jennifer dismantles common misconceptions about DSPs, emphasizing the skills, critical thinking, and emotional resilience required in their role. Her insights pave the way for families and DSPs to foster mutual respect and build healthy partnerships. By acknowledging the emotions and needs of both sides, Jennifer suggests concrete ways to strengthen these relationships, like regular check-ins, active listening, and transparent communication. Overall, the episode provides a compelling view into the complexities of caregiving, offering a call to action for both families and professionals to work cohesively towards enriching the lives of those they support.Key Takeaways:Beyond 'Babysitting': The role of DSPs is often misunderstood; it involves advocacy, problem-solving, and much more than supervision.Building Trust and Respect: Regular communication and small gestures of acknowledgment help to build trust between families and DSPs.The Human Aspect: Acknowledging the emotional journey of both DSPs and families leads to better support structures and cooperation.Partnership over Isolation: Success relies on treating the family-DSP relationship as a collaborative effort instead of two opposing sides.Notable Quotes:"It truly takes a real partnership, some empathy, and communication to make it happen.""DSPs are constantly problem-solving, teaching, advocating, and adapting in the moment.""At the end of the day, we're all just really here for the same reason: to help the person that we're both engaged with grow, develop, and thrive.""Assume always that there are good intentions and really listen to each other."Resources:eVero CorporationFor a deeper dive into this enlightening discussion, listen to the full episode.

Traditionally, a college degree has been seen as a ticket to a secure future.But not today. Thanks to soaring tuition costs and weighty student loans, many people are questioning the value of college. A 2025 Pew Research poll found that only one in four U.S. adults says it's “extremely or very important to have a four-year college degree” to get a well-paying job. And many young Americans — including Black, Latino and Indigenous students — contend they can build solid careers without seeking further education. In a 2025 survey by New America, a majority of young Americans agreed “there are lots of well-paying, stable jobs that people can find with only a high school diploma or GED.”So is college still worth it — especially when it comes to low-income or first-generation students? Is college still worth it? MPR News' North Star Journey Live project teamed up with Sahan Journal Community Conversations in October to host a panel discussing the pros and cons of higher education.

Wie heißt mein Enkel noch mal? Wo habe ich den Schlüssel hingelegt? In Deutschland leben etwa 1,8 Millionen Menschen mit einer Demenzerkrankung.

This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by top Welsh rugby writer Seimon Williams to break down the end of the WRU's consultation period and the headline decision that one of Wales's professional regions will be cut. Is it really a shootout between the Scarlets and the Ospreys, or is there more going on behind the scenes? Ged and Seimon dig into what the decision means for the regional game, the national team, and the long-term sustainability of Welsh rugby. They also explore the development pathway crisis: will a centralised national academy nurture elite talent and bridge the gap between school, semi-pro, and regional rugby? With funding pressures mounting and squads thinning, can the WRU find a model that actually develops players rather than losing them abroad? From the future of West Wales rugby to the wider vision for player development in Wales, this episode asks whether cutting a region will really fix anything — or just make the challenges even greater.

College tuition has increased 1184% since 1980 while the value of that education has plummeted... The system that worked for our parents' generation has become a debt trap that produces functionally illiterate graduates who can't read, can't write, and are trained to rely on AI for everything. Sixty Illinois schools have zero students reading or doing math at grade level. University professors report students who can't comprehend basic assignments, expect unlimited resubmissions, and ask if reading exams are open book. The goal of college is ideological indoctrination, not education. AI has decimated the value proposition further by replacing the exact jobs that required degrees - law firms aren't hiring junior associates because AI does case research instantly, and doctors are being outperformed by diagnostic AI that's 400% more accurate. Meanwhile, trades are booming with massive worker shortages, allowing skilled tradespeople to command premium prices and own their businesses. If your child has a specific passion requiring a degree - nursing, military officer, certain specialized fields - and a plan to pay for it without federal loans, maybe. But the default assumption that kids should go to college from 18-22 needs to die. Take a gap year, start a business, learn a trade, do an apprenticeship, or get your GED at 16 and start community college early. Stop enriching a broken system that leaves your children $40,000 in debt and unemployable.Chapters:00:30 - Opening segment04:30 - The trades are booming while college graduates work at coffee shops06:10 - Bell curve distribution: Why the statistics lie08:15 - Public school assessment failure11:30 - AI has made students functionally illiterate15:25 - The $1.7 trillion student loan debt crisis20:00 - 50% of graduates never work in their field of study28:25 - Educate your children outside the system33:25 - College degree now a liability when hiring34:45 - Charlie Kirk built $100M business with community college degree36:40 - California homeschool charter system under attack by teachers' unions42:00 - Start a business, learn taxes, understand the real world first43:00 - Get your GED at 16 and start community college early46:00 - High school diploma is worthless - challenge the assumption49:20 - When college might make sense50:10 - IBC as a tool to fund education without federal loans51:10 - Internships don't require college enrollment52:05 - Closing segmentKey Takeaways:College tuition has increased 1184% since 1980 The value of a college education has gone down dramatically as costs skyrocketedAverage federal student loan debt per borrower is nearly $40,000, totaling $1.7 trillion nationallyFor white males specifically, average income is now LOWER with a college degree than withoutAI has made the college degree nearly obsolete by replacing the exact jobs that required them50% of college graduates never work in their field of studyHigh school diploma is worthless - nobody ever asks for itUse IBC to fund education without federal loans if you must goInternships don't require college enrollment - 18-year-olds can approach businesses directlyGot Questions?

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 17th Publish Date:  October 17th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, October 17th and Happy Birthday to Alan Jackson I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb County Sheriff's Office welcomes newest GED graduates ACT scores increase in Cobb, dip in Marietta KSU student arrested after protesting Charlie Kirk memorial Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on grass fed beef All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Cobb County Sheriff's Office welcomes newest GED graduates The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office hosted its third GED graduation of the year on Oct. 8, right inside the Adult Detention Center. Seven detainees walked away with diplomas in hand—proof that change is possible, even behind bars. Since the program launched in March 2024, over 30 detainees have earned their GEDs. The ceremony was heartfelt, with speeches from Chief Deputy Rhonda Anderson, Col. Michael Williams, and Dr. Kim Kranzlin of Cobb Adult Education. The program isn’t easy—four subjects, a minimum score of 145, and 40+ hours of study. But for these seven, it’s a step toward something better. STORY 2: ACT scores increase in Cobb, dip in Marietta  ACT scores are in, and Cobb County is celebrating its highest average in four years, while Marietta High saw a slight dip. Cobb’s average jumped to 23.7 (up 0.9 points), while Marietta landed at 22.2 (down 0.5). Both still outpaced state (21.4) and national (19.4) averages. Wheeler High led Cobb with a stellar 28.5 average, even climbing 2.5 points from last year. Meanwhile, Marietta students continued to outperform state and national peers in every subject, despite the slight drop. “Success takes time,” said Marietta Superintendent Grant Rivera. “Hard work and curiosity drive our students forward.” Georgia students, for the ninth year, beat the national average. STORY 3: KSU student arrested after protesting Charlie Kirk memorial  A protest at Kennesaw State University’s memorial for conservative activist Charlie Kirk ended in chaos Tuesday night, with one student, Luca Compiani, 18, arrested on charges of battery and obstruction. According to police, Compiani “intentionally” bumped into KSU Police Capt. Timothy Murphy in a “provoking manner” and fled when confronted. Protesters, however, claim the situation was escalated unnecessarily, calling the arrest “a gross abuse of authority.” The memorial, hosted by Young Americans for Liberty, drew both supporters and protesters. Some shouted chants, others threw ketchup at a flag. Despite the tension, organizers said the event achieved its goal: promoting free speech—even amid dissent. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 4: 1,100+ voters cast ballots on Day 1 of early voting  Nearly 1,200 Cobb County voters turned out Monday for the first day of early voting, with Marietta leading the charge. Of the 1,193 ballots cast, 481 came from the Cobb Elections Main Office, while Mableton saw 221 voters at the South Cobb Community Center. Michael D’Itri, acting director of Cobb Elections, said turnout usually starts strong, dips mid-period, then surges in the final days. For Marietta voter Chris Danos, 28, the mayoral race is top of mind. “We need better transportation options,” he said. Meanwhile, Dan and Vicki Rupnow, who moved from Atlanta, love Marietta’s walkability and lighter traffic. “It’s perfect for us,” they said. STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — Oct. 17 - 19 Marietta HarvestFest Marietta Square is the place to be this Saturday for HarvestFest—think scarecrows, costumes, games, and all the fall vibes.
