State Laws Banning Prior Authorization For Medications For Opioid Use Disorder Increased Substantially, 2015–23 Health Affairs While medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is effective treatment, most patients with OUD don't receive it and prior authorization (PA) has been a barrier to access. Researchers looked at state policies trying to address this barrier, specifically for private health insurance, between 2015 and 2022. Some states adopted “full prohibitions” against PAs while others adopted “partial prohibitions” that allowed PA under some circumstances. Overall, the number of states with at least some prohibition increased from 2 in 2015 to 22 in 2023. In addition, 7 states adopted “full prohibitions” initially, while 15 adopted “partial prohibitions”, with 4 of those 15 transitioning to “full prohibitions” later. Additional research will be needed to assess the impact of these prohibitions, but this study elucidates the current landscape of policy.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

In this episode, Tara highlights the struggles Americans face amid systemic government dysfunction: Visa and wage impact: H-1B and H-4 visas are driving down wages and limiting career growth for Americans, particularly in fields like healthcare and pharmacy. Families of visa holders can work as well, compounding the impact on local workers. Welfare and Medicaid fraud: Millions of dollars in benefits have gone to ineligible recipients, including illegal immigrants, while American families are denied assistance. The Trump administration has removed 700,000 fraudulent SNAP recipients and is recovering Medicaid funds from six states. Human perspective: Callers share personal stories of struggling to access support for special needs children and seeing wage suppression firsthand, highlighting the tangible consequences of policy failures. Media and policy accountability: Increased transparency and free speech are leveling the playing field, exposing hoaxes and forcing policy enforcement in areas long ignored. This episode combines policy analysis with the voices of real Americans, showing how federal and state actions—or inactions—directly affect everyday lives.

We talk through how objects hold meaning, memories, and dreams for the future, and what it looks like to build a stronger sense of self without clinging to things. If you've ever felt like discarding something meant losing a part of yourself, you definitely want to listen to this one. We break down exactly why that fear happens and where to start. A plant pot associated with negative experiences. Discussion of emotional and aesthetic reasons for keeping vs. discarding. Objects “glowering" at us. Identity and Self-Concept in Hoarding Definition of identity and self-concept. Possessions and Sense of Identity The psychological process of possessions intertwining with identity. How this differs from typical sentimental attachment. Retention itself (rather than use or display) as a meaning-making act in hoarding. The difference between identity (roles, characteristics, life story) and self-concept (beliefs about self, worth, and abilities). Typical patterns seen in people with hoarding disorder: fragmented identity, externalised identity via objects. Psychological Fusion Between Identity and Possessions The concept of "identity objects" — how discarding items feels like losing part of oneself. Objects as external proof and storage for identity, memory, and meaning. Safety of objects over human relationships. The cycle of validation and shame in hoarding. Pathways to Possession-Identity Fusion Childhood experiences and boundary violations leading to control needs. Identity confusion and external markers for self-definition. Psychological ownership: objects as self-extension. Functions of retained objects—proof of past, present, and future self. Anthropomorphism and obligations to objects. Executive function challenges: objects as external memory aids. Perfectionism and fantasy identity protection. Influence of cultural materialism and marketing. The Fear of Losing Identity When Discarding Objects "Throwing away part of myself." Three psychological routes for ownership: control, intimate knowledge, and personal investment. The role of control and avoidance of uncertainty. The painful admission of poor judgment (e.g., unworn clothing) when discarding. Possessions as Identity Markers Retaining items from past roles (retired teachers, old job materials). Holding onto objects representing hopes for future identity. Objects as evidence for important life chapters, relationships, or personal history. Psychological needs these objects serve and when that becomes problematic. Books as Proof of Intellectual Identity Discussion of books held as evidence of being intellectual, regardless of actual reading. Exploration of how objects can become substitutes for action and risk. Therapeutic approach to shifting identity building from possession to action. Community and Connection in the Hoarding Journey The loneliness and isolation frequently felt by people who hoard. The importance of community, connection, and peer support, including podcast listeners and accountability sessions. Effects of increased openness and connection on identity. Identity Shifts During Dehoarding and Recovery Changes in identity during the process of recovery and letting go. Building new narratives — sometimes research or recovery itself becomes an identity. Increased connection and belonging through shared experience and vulnerability. Maintaining Identity Without Excessive Possession Strategies for building identity through actions, creativity, and lived experience. Selecting representative or truly meaningful items rather than keeping everything. Observing how "non-hoarding" individuals make decisions about sentimental items. Discomfort and growth opportunities in sharing one's journey while still in progress. The value of authenticity and vulnerability. First Steps for Listeners Fearing Loss of Self Through Discarding Acknowledging that fear is rational and understandable. Suggesting mindful observation of attachment thoughts. Testing beliefs by gentle action, e.g., creative tasks with what is already available. Finding supportive people for accountability and encouragement. Reflective work on personal values — building identity from the inside. Reassurance that identity predates possessions and is not dependent on them. Objects as scaffolding rather than the core of one's identity. Encouragement to trust oneself and to start building stability from within.

I think the IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing us to keep on talking about what makes retailing relevant. You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience.SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.org Today, EPISODE 82… I talk with Dina Townsend Chief Sales Officer at Mamava a company whose mission is to create a healthier society through infrastructure and support for breastfeeding. And, along with partners who share in in their purpose of celebrating and supporting breastfeeding, Mamava is moving closer to creating a future where there is a dignified lactation space anywhere a parent may go. We'll get to my discussion with Dina in a minute, first though a few thoughts…*                     *                          *                          *A few episodes back I had Claire Coder founder and CEO if Aunt Flow on the show. That was an interesting conversation since we crossed what I think were a few boundaries (at least for me) and we talked quite candidly about menstruation. Not just about the biology of women's monthly cycle but about the fact that there are many women who have faced the scenario of getting their period unexpectedly and not have pads or tampons to meet them in their moment of need.Enter the company Aunt Flow who provides free feminine hygiene products in public restrooms, schools and other public buildings and to Fortune 500 corporate headquarters - for which tens of thousands of women are eternally grateful.This conversation with Dina Townsend, I guess you could say, falls in the Aunt Flow camp of subjects. Breast feeding moms was not a subject that I had on the list of things to address on the podcast. But here we are nevertheless with a subject that piqued my curiosity because the company Dina works for, Mamava, checks most of the boxes in our Dialogues on DATA: Design, Architecture, Technology and he Arts” catch phrase.First off…I did not know there was something called the “Pump Act”. For the curious out there, a little internet searching comes up with this:“…The PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act, enacted in December 2022, expands workplace protections for nursing employees by requiring employers to provide reasonable break time and a private, non-bathroom space for pumping breast milk for up to one year after a child's birth.This law allows for legal action if employers fail to comply…”Now… Dina will contend that many employers do in fact provide such a space and also that a janitors closet with a folding chair would be in line with the requirements. Sure, a closet meets the description of a ‘private space' but it wholly underserves the needs of a nursing mother in terms of experience.I am aware that there are widely divergent views on the whole subject of breast feeding – we are not going to go there – except that I'll say that I fully line up behind my wife who breastfed our two sons.My discussion with Dina moves from the necessity to provide environments for nursing mothers to breastfeed their infants while in public places to the buying power of mothers who statistics indicate make an enormous amount of the buying decisions in households to how tying Retail Media Networks - RMNs – to Mamava pods serve a triple bottom line serving People, Planet and Profit. It's a way of shifting our thinking about business from “How much money did we make?” to: “Did we make money in a way that benefits society and the environment too?”Nielsen, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Harvard Business Review research tells us that Women drive 70–80% of consumer purchasing decisions in the U.S. and that is even for products they don't personally use.  And that their annual global consumer spending, is $20 trillionwhich, by the way, is a number projected to rise to $28 trillion. In many households, women make or heavily influence91% of new home purchases, 92% of vacation decisions, and 80% of healthcare choices says research by the Yankelovich Monitor, Marketing to Women Conference data.And Millennial and Gen Z mothers are even more influential: they control about $1 trillion in direct annual spendingand are primary decision-makers for food, home goods, education, and entertainment – says research by the Pew Research Center.So, women and moms are a force to be reconned with in terms of buying power and why Mamava pods are more than an economic discussion. The behavioral and psychographic aspects of them is important as well.Women increasingly valuebrands that support family life, caregiving, and inclusivity and so features like Mamava pods in retail locations or corporate HQs or parental-leave policies have brand-equity impact.We have known for some time that brands that are considered authentic exhibiting genuine empathic concern for their customer and employeesare major drivers in establishing brand affinity and purchase decisions. The BabyCenter “State of Modern Motherhood” report says that “ 9 in 10 mothers say they are more loyal to brands that “understand the challenges of motherhood.”And then there is mom's digital influence. Pew Internet studies explains that“80% of moms research products online before buying and that 60% follow parenting or lifestyle influencers for purchase guidance.”When you combine these factors with the emergence of Retail Media Networks, RMNs, you have a value add to placing Mamava pods in places that do not actually take up any more space on the sales floors of a store than is already being occupied with stuff that does support the brand experience or selling anything.Use to be that when digital screens came into the retail world, we had kiosks as wayfinding devices. Then a proliferation of screens emerged in the market where walls were more digital wallpaper crowding the environment with content and, in my opinion adding little to experience, arguably creating a shopping experience with more visual distraction and diminishing the overall experience. Painting the environment with the broad-brush stroke of digital media is often ineffective in capturing and retaining attention and doesn't lead to the positive results we think it does.That said, well considered application of digital media like those found on Mamava pods creates an opportunity to provide messaging to customers that could be more like a public service announcement, like ‘get your flu shot here today,' or a focused marketing piece that invites customers to consider a particular product that they may not have thought of prior to arriving at the store.So, you might ask why this matters to retail designWomen and mothers aren't just your average everyday consumers, they're key decision-makers shaping the social expectations of brands and spaces. Retailers, airports, and workplaces that provide amenities like Mamava pods, family restrooms, or flexible shopping experiences are responding directly to data-driven insights like:Increased dwell time and spending when caregivers feel accommodated.Higher brand loyalty and word-of-mouth among mothers.Positive CSR – Corporate Social Responsibility - and inclusivity signaling which is important for both consumer and employee attraction.If you have recently traveled through an airport, you may have already come upon a Mamava pod or maybe you have seen their “bench” version in a retail store. Fed up with pumping in bathrooms and borrowed spaces—Mamava's co-founders, Sascha Mayer and Christine Dodson, applied their decades of expertise in design and brand strategy to solve a problem that was largely invisible: the lack of lactation spaces in workplaces and public spaces and as a result, the Mamava pod was born.Tying together the Mamava pod, and its various incarnations, and retail media needed some savvy about how to create an effective in-store media application that wouldn't end up as just another screen in an already overwhelming environment.Enter Dina Townsend.As Chief Sales Officer at Mamava, Dina leads the Sales Organization with energy, optimism, and a genuine passion for building connections. She is rooted in the belief that strong business acumen and a meaningful mission like the Mamava brand platform can be seamlessly intertwined. After a purpose-driven career pivot from the world of Digital Signage Technology to Mamava, Dina channels her expertise into propelling sales for this mission-centric company. ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Today, we sit down with Whig-Clio student leadership to discuss Senator Joe Manchin III's public service award, cover newly passed recording policy for University events, and discuss increased flight cancellations due to the government shutdown.

In America at the moment there is a lot of talk about the “K” shaped economy. Car dealers see it. If you have a good, safe job, good income and you're in the markets invested in AI (before it all pops) you are feeling good. You are the upward bit of the “K”. You're buying a flash new car with carbon add-ons. If you've been laid off, or about to be by a robot, you hate AI because you never earned enough to buy stock anyway and your SNAP payment hasn't come through because of the shutdown and you're holding onto your car, not to mention sweating on making ends meet, you are the downward bit of the “K”. It looks like we have a similar story here. Recruiters Robert Walters are already warning of the increased cost of labour in the recovery because people with the skills that are going to be in demand can charge more. Why? Because we are short of them. Why? Because the others are in Australia. In ideal times, as an economy recovers you hoover up those who have lost their jobs when times were tight. This time anyone who was marketable left and what we have, sadly, are a group of people who it would appear are not available to take part as growth returns. Yes, there are plenty of unemployed – 5.3% as of last week. Not to mention a growing number of so-called "underutilised". But as far as skills go, that's where we have an issue. Not everywhere or everyone of course. But it's becoming increasingly obvious that there are too many under-skilled, under-qualified people in this country. That is sadly what eventuates when you have system that spits kids out at 15, 16, or 17-year-old without a pathway to success. When times are good any number of people get swept up for bits and pieces-type jobs that lots of employers can afford to fork out on. But they are also the first to go. And when the rest of the talent bails, the ones without the skills aren't the ones to fill the growth areas, hence we will once again rely on imported labour, which this time around may or may not be available depending on whether they see us as a cool place to be. If they don't, that weighs on recovery and the speed at which we pick up. Robert Walters seem to suggest it's an issue. For those who stayed and have the skills though, you will be in a new car before you know it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does bedsharing have benefits for infant development or attachment? The quick answer is no. Systematic reviews (the highest form of scientific evidence) consistently show that bedsharing is associated with: 1️⃣ Longer breastfeeding duration 2️⃣ Increased risk of death 3️⃣ More frequent night waking Bedsharing might be your preference, and that's ok, but it's important to understand both the risks, and the reality - babies who sleep in cots are just as well attached to their parents, as those who share a bed with their parents.

Increased access to fertility treatment has been brought to the forefront, with even the White House now announcing that it has conducted negotiations to bring the price of IVF down. However, there's a segment of the population that may need even more help getting the care they need, military families. We're now joined by Dr. Michael Wittenberger, a reproductive endocrinologist and Navy veteran with a lot of experience in treating veterans and military families.

Neither of us is a doctor, and you shouldn't take anecdotal evidence as proof of anything. I asked Perplexity.ai about the issue, and it said:There is evidence linking veganism and osteoporosis, though the relationship is nuanced and influenced by diet quality and nutritional adequacy.* Increased Risk with Poorly Planned Diets: Multiple extensive studies and systematic reviews have found that vegans—especially those consuming diets low in calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, protein, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids—tend to have lower bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of both osteoporosis and bone fractures compared to omnivores. This elevated risk has been observed in major cohort studies, such as the EPIC-Oxford study, which reported a significantly higher risk of fractures among vegans even after adjusting for body mass index and lifestyle factors.* Nutritional Deficiencies Matter: The increased risk is primarily attributed to common deficits in key nutrients critical for bone health, such as calcium, vitamin D, and B12, which are less prevalent in plant-based foods unless supplemented or fortified. Protein intake is also sometimes lower in vegan regimens, which can further impact bone strength.* Well-Planned Vegan Diets & Positive Outcomes: Recent research shows that a “well-planned” vegan diet—emphasizing adequate intake of calcium, vitamin D, B12, protein, and other bone-related nutrients (often through fortified foods or supplements)—does not significantly increase the risk of osteoporosis compared to omnivorous diets. Some studies have found that a healthful, plant-based diet may even reduce the risk of osteoporosis due to increased intakes of bone-protective nutrients like vitamin K, magnesium, and antioxidants, as well as because such diets tend to produce a lower acid load, which may reduce bone resorption.* Physical Activity Modifies the Risk: There is also evidence that resistance exercise (such as weightlifting or strength training) can improve bone strength in vegans, potentially offsetting some of the increased risk associated with plant-based diets.* Summary Table: Veganism and Osteoporosis RiskType of DietBone Health Risk FactorsOsteoporosis/Fracture Risk* Unbalanced vegan* Low calcium, D, B12, protein, zinc, omega-3s* Increased fracture/osteoporosis risk* Well-planned vegan* Supplemented/fortified nutrients, diverse plant foods* Similar risk as a balanced omnivorous diet or slightly reduced risk* Omnivorous* Generally, a higher intake of bone-critical nutrients* Standard baseline riskKey takeaways:* Vegans who do not carefully plan their diet are at higher risk of osteoporosis and fractures.* With mindful planning and supplementation, a vegan diet can support good bone health.* Ensuring sufficient calcium, vitamin D, B12, protein, and engaging in regular weight-bearing exercise are crucial for vegans to minimize their risk of osteoporosis.Sponsors1.

Doug Weill, founder and co-managing partner at Hodes Weill and Associates, joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss findings from the 2025 Institutional Real Estate Allocations Monitor. Weill noted that institutions decreased target allocations by 10 basis points this year, although allocations are expected to increase by about the same amount in the coming 12 months. The survey showed market conviction “tick up a bit,” he added. “That to us indicates that institutions are increasingly ready to deploy capital and are viewing the next couple of years as potentially good vintages, which is what we hear over and over from institutions.”Weill also highlighted that about one in three institutions are actively allocating to REITs. “When we ask them about what it is about REITs that is most appealing, the two main or top objectives are liquidity and a proxy for core,” he noted.Larger institutions are more actively allocating to REITs, according to Weill, using dedicated in-house teams.

Our world is changing dramatically before our eyes.Increased average global temperatures have wreaked havoc on ecosystems, economies, and people's lives. Fires rage. Flood waters rise. Storms and heat waves are occurring out-of-season and are becoming increasingly more dangerous and more frequent.Neighborhoods are being destroyed. People are losing their lives and livelihoods. Still, some politicians, some pundits, and some corporate oligarchs continue to deny reality and refuse to take responsibility and necessary action to mitigate this existential crisis.Those who did the least to cause this crisis will suffer the most from its consequences.In On Fire and Under Water, the new crime fiction anthology from Rock and a Hard Place Press, we explore the intersection of climate change and crime, through the lens of fifteen short stories from some of today's best crime fiction writers. Edited by Anthony Award-winning author Curtis Ippolito and the editorial team at RHP Press, the stories contained within this anthology peel back the curtain on the ways in which climate change impacts real people in their most desperate hour.Some say the world will end in fire. Some say flood. In On Fire and Under Water, you get both.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Host: Bob Furniss (without co-host Amos) Guest: Daniel Thomas, Informa Location: ICMI Conference Expo Floor Guest Background Daniel Thomas approaches contact center industry from a research background Surveys audiences and writes research reports Has "front row seat" to industry transformation Conducts the annual State of the Contact Center survey About the State of the Contact Center Report Comprehensive benchmark study surveying contact center professionals Covers multiple verticals including: Training and skills Compensation and salary Technology use Leadership perceptions Strategy Tracks year-over-year progress Recent additions include AI and workforce training questions Key Surprising Findings 1. Contact Centers as Strategic Intelligence Hubs Major shift: Contact centers increasingly viewed as "strategic customer intelligence hubs" rather than cost centers Described as "customer intelligence and nervous system" No other department has closer customer proximity or more customer data C-suite now acknowledges value with direct data funnels informing executive decisions 2. AI Perceptions and Impact 72% believe AI will transform roles, not replace them Only ~25% think AI will lead to workforce reductions AI expected to handle "level one, rote, monotonous, repetitive work" Agents will focus on: Complex needs and edge cases Soft skills: empathy, communication, problem solving, critical thinking 90% of surveyed leaders believe humans necessary as AI overseers Gartner prediction: 40% of agentic AI projects will fail by 2027 (often due to neglecting human oversight) Agent Evolution Agents increasingly viewed as: Consultants Solutions architects Higher-tier problem solvers "White glove service" providers Rising expectations due to AI support Agents becoming intelligence providers to C-suite More analytical roles: identifying trends, patterns, creating intelligent summaries Top AI Implementation Concerns Customer resistance (top concern) Data accuracy Data privacy and security Lack of proper AI governance Workforce and Quality Management Insights Workforce Models (Nearly Equal Three-Way Split) In-office full time Hybrid Fully remote Models remain transitional and subject to change Increased scheduling flexibility critical for retention Quality Focus Shift Traditional metrics: CSAT, utilization, average handle time New priority: Agent experience rising in importance Recognition that internal customer experience drives external customer experience Customer Satisfaction Challenges Current CSAT surveys often lack nuance Can't distinguish between: Poor agent performance vs. poor company policy Single bad experience vs. overall satisfaction Need for more qualitative feedback mechanisms "Watermelon effect": High metrics but poor actual experience Channel Evolution Significant jump from multi-channel to omni-channel implementation Growth in non-traditional channels: Social media SMS/text Video Technology enabling unified customer history across channels Key Takeaways Successful organizations treat contact centers as "valuable strategic sources of intelligence" Organizations not recognizing this value are "dropping the ball" and will "see the consequences" Contact centers serve as the "hub" and "nervous system" reaching everywhere in the organization When no one knows the answer, they turn to the contact center Notable Quotes "If your agents aren't excited about AI, then you actually haven't communicated to them how enriching and transforming it could be" "Agents are increasingly going to play a role where they are the eyes and the ears... providing the intelligence back to the C-suite" Contact centers as "the strongest data... the hub... the nervous system that reaches in everywhere else"

Satellite Tracking Reveals Increased Global Population Exposure to Floods (2000–2018). Professor Beth Tellman (Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Cloud to Street; Professor at the University of Arizona geography) discusses her peer-reviewed study, published in Nature magazine, using satellite imaging from NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites, equipped with the MODIS optical sensor, to track global flood events. This systematic mapping provides hard data of actual events, augmenting the global flood database, covering 913 observed flood events between 2000 and 2018. Her research identified an increase of up to 24% in the proportion of the population exposed to floods, indicating people are moving faster into flood plains than the general population growth rate. Limitations of the data include satellites being blocked by cloud cover and difficulty tracking sudden events like dam breaks or pluvial events. A significant concern is the underreporting bias of damaging floods in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. 1913 DAYTON

A Spiral Into Darkness, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. The trauma of that moment compounded years of emotional strain from both law enforcement and military service. His marriage began to crumble, and the burden of grief became unbearable. “I didn't know how to cope,” he admitted. “I started self-medicating with alcohol and other destructive behaviors. It felt like there was no way out.” As the darkness grew, suicidal thoughts began to take hold. One day, he reached the breaking point and attempted to end his life. “The only reason I'm still here is because my handgun jammed,” he said. “That failure turned out to be the reason I got a second chance.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Finding Hope Through Horses That second chance came through an unexpected source, horses. Introduced to equine care by a new girlfriend, he discovered that working with horses provided a peace he hadn't felt in years. “At first, I didn't understand it,” he said. “But horses don't judge.

He emphasizes how modern environments, especially the prevalence of addictive substances and social media, exacerbate these genetic predispositions, leading to increased struggles for individuals with these conditions.TakeawaysThere is a significant genetic and epigenetic component to ADHD, dyslexia, and autism.Many individuals are predisposed to various neurodiverse conditions.Modern environments contribute to the expression of genetic predispositions.Addictive substances and dopamine abusers are more prevalent today.Social media usage, like scrolling on TikTok, can exacerbate genetic struggles.The current environment is revealing more about our genetic codes.The interaction between genetics and environment is crucial in understanding neurodiversity.Increased screen time may lead to heightened challenges for neurodiverse individuals.Understanding neurodiversity requires a holistic view of genetics and environment.Awareness of these factors can lead to better support for those with neurodiverse conditions.ADHD, dyslexia, autism, epigenetics, genetics, neurodiversity, dopamine, social media, environment,  adults with dyslexia, support for adults.Join the clubrightbrainresetters.comGet 20% off your first orderhttps://addednutrition.comIf you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On Monday, the Trump administration announced that it will partially restore funding for the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program, but only at half the amount recipients of the food aid program would normally get this month. In separate rulings on Friday, two federal judges had ordered the Trump administration to tap billions of dollars in emergency reserves to continue to fund the program which 42 million Americans rely on, including 1 in 6 households in Oregon. .   SNAP recipients will likely still face delays, which could last weeks, as state agencies scramble to account for the reduced November benefits. Oregon and Washington were part of a coalition of 25 states and the District of Columbia that had sued to prevent the loss of monthly SNAP benefits beginning Nov. 1 after the Trump administration said it would halt funding for the program during the federal government shutdown. Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson and Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek last week authorized millions of dollars in state funds to support food banks in their respective states.   Roughly 930,000 people are enrolled in SNAP in Washington state. Sixty thousand of them reside in Clark County, according to Emily Straw, president of the Clark County Food Bank. She says there has been increased demand from clients in the past week or so at the two pantries the food bank operates in Vancouver.     Straw joins us to share how her organization has mobilized to help vulnerable Clark County residents facing hunger.  

Despite tariff concerns and low grain prices, Nebraska ag producers are on track for a good year overall. Net farm income in the state is projected to reach around 8.4 billion dollars, up from just under 6 billion dollars last year. Increased livestock receipts and government payments represent the bulk of the additional income, which were enough to offset lower crop receipts and production expenses.

States With Substantial Increases In Buprenorphine Uptake Did So With Increased Medicaid Prescribing, 2018–24 Health Affairs Multiple federal policy changes since 2018 intended to increase buprenorphine prescribing in response to a persistent treatment gap for opioid use disorder (OUD) in the US. Anticipated national increases did not occur, but highly variable state-level trends provide important insights. This study used IQVIA data to examine all-payer and per payer prescribing across states during the period 2018–24.  Researchers found that highly disparate state-level changes suggest that federal policy impacts were mediated by state-specific factors. Medicaid's key role in driving overall prescribing highlights the public health urgency of maintaining expansions and sustaining enrollment for the single adult population.    Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm currently in level 1 IHP certification program right now and loving everything so far. I'm even going to try the 14 day detox soon. Anyways my question pertains to myself that I've been struggling with for a bit. I'm a 24 year old female who lives a pretty healthy lifestyle but the one things I can't seem to figure out is why my face turns bright red and I get a hot flashes when I speak to people about 60% of the time. It happens at random times and with random convos. Is this something happening internally that could be causing this? Any recommendations??                                          Matt: Hey Dr. C! I have pretty good oral health. I use a tongue scraper, floss, FYGG toothpaste and I brush 2x a day. I also use their oral breath mints. However, my wife still tells me that my breath smells bad. Obviously, I don't want this. Lol. I don't want to use conventional toothpaste/mouthwash since there's a lot of chemicals in there. Would love to hear your take on this.

Chewy and Eugene share 10 ideas on why you should master defense and escapes in BJJ. Here are the ideas we discussed: 1. To escape effectively, you will have less fear and worries on the mat. 2. When you become skilled defensively, you can become more aggressive with your offense. 3. Increased efficiency on the mats. 4. When you avoid training escapes then you turn into a grappler with a "glass jaw." 5. When you develop a strong defensive game, your submissions improve dramatically. 6. You get injured less when you have a good understanding of defense. 7. You can tire out your opponent more easily. 8. You will be able to weather the storm against younger and more athletic grapplers. 9. Grappling becomes more fun. 10. If you're a competitor, it gets more difficult to get scored on.
