Episode 82 Oklahoma joins the list of states to enact meat labeling laws. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt last week signed into law a measure requiring manufactured protein products to be labeled differently from meat. House Bill 1126 requires food manufacturers, distributors and retailers to clearly disclose that cell-cultivated or cultured products or those that come from a lab, plants or insect proteins are not meat. Those convicted of false advertising could face a misdemeanor. The law places the burden of proof on the manufacturer and not the retailer. Oklahoma's Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry would be responsible for investigating complaints that food products are falsely advertised or misbranded as meat products. The act takes effect Nov. 1. Several U.S. states have enacted or proposed laws regulating the labeling of meat and alternative protein products, particularly focusing on plant-based and cell-cultured (lab-grown) meats. These laws aim to ensure transparency for consumers and protect traditional meat industries.AP News+7The Guardian+7National Agricultural Law Center+7 States with Enacted Meat Labeling Laws Missouri: In 2018, Missouri became the first state to pass a law prohibiting misrepresentation of products as meat if they are not derived from harvested livestock or poultry. Wikipedia Arkansas: Enacted Act 501, which restricts the use of traditional meat terms on plant-based and cell-cultured products. Wikipedia+1NYU Environmental Law Journal+1 Louisiana: Passed legislation banning the use of meat terminology on products not derived from animals. Wikipedia+1NYU Environmental Law Journal+1 Mississippi: Implemented laws requiring clear labeling of alternative meat products and, more recently, passed a bill banning the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat. Big Rapids Pioneer+4WIRED+4NYU Environmental Law Journal+4 Florida: In May 2024, Florida became the first state to ban the manufacture and sale of cell-cultured meat, defining it as any meat product produced from cultured animal cells. Penn State Agricultural Law Center+3National Agricultural Law Center+3Houston Chronicle+3 Alabama: Followed Florida by enacting similar legislation banning the production and sale of lab-grown meat. National Agricultural Law Center+7WIRED+7Big Rapids Pioneer+7 States with Proposed or Pending Legislation Michigan: Introduced bills aiming to prohibit labeling lab-grown meat substitutes as "meat" and to ban the manufacture and sale of cultivated meat derived from animal cell cultures. Big Rapids Pioneer Nebraska: Governor Jim Pillen proposed a ban on lab-grown meat, facing pushback from ranchers and farm groups who prefer clear labeling over outright bans. AP News Arizona and Tennessee: Considered legislation to ban cell-cultured meat; however, the bills did not pass in the 2024 legislative sessions. Penn State Agricultural Law Center+2National Agricultural Law Center+2Houston Chronicle+2 Federal Regulations At the federal level, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees meat labeling through the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). In March 2024, the USDA finalized a rule allowing the voluntary use of "Product of USA" or "Made in the USA" labels on meat, poultry, and egg products only when they are derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States. USDA Summary The landscape of meat labeling laws in the U.S. is evolving, with several states enacting or proposing legislation to regulate the labeling of alternative meat products. These laws vary in scope, with some focusing on prohibiting specific terminology and others imposing outright bans on certain products. The federal government also plays a role in standardizing labeling practices to ensure consumer transparency.

Daily Dose of Hope May 13, 2025 Day 2 of Week 7 Scripture - Mark 15:21-32 Prayer: Dear Holy God, Your love is amazing. Thank you for the way you care for us. In these next few moments of silence, Lord, help us focus on you...Lord Jesus, help us set aside every distraction and take this time to lean on you. We want to hear your voice. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Happy Tuesday! Today's Scripture is powerful and we have probably all read it or heard it before. I hope you were able to slow down and really take time to read it with fresh eyes. The miracle of Scripture is that we can read it again and again and God can reveal something new to us. In today's portion of Mark 15, we read about the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It was a horrific death. He was beaten and mocked by the soldiers, betrayed by his own people, and nailed to a cross to die. I won't go into the gory details of crucifixion, as you have probably heard them before, but it was a terribly painful and humiliating way to die. There is one piece of today's text that we often gloss over, but it certainly is significant. It's about Simon of Cyrene. Simon was just passing by when he is stopped and forced him to carry Jesus' cross. Cyrene was on the tip of Africa so this man was far from home. And here he was, going about his business, and he is enlisted, or more like seized, to carry the cross of the Savior of the world. I'm guessing that Jesus' physical body was incredibly weak and bloody by this point. Simon walked by him, carrying the cross that would serve to execute Jesus but also save all humanity from their sin. We don't know what happened to Simon after the crucifixion. He isn't mentioned again in Scripture. But my guess is that his life was never the same again. Afterall, he had an encounter with Jesus. They may have exchanged a few words. Maybe they glanced at each other. I believe that Jesus could say a lot with his eyes and facial expressions. But my guess is that things changed for Simon from that point forward. After all, he met Jesus. An encounter with Jesus is always life-changing. Think about your own life. How has encountering Jesus affected your world? Try to think of tangible examples. Let's move on in the text. There was a sign above Jesus' head that read, “King of the Jews.” What did this mean? It could actually mean a number of things. First, Pilate was a bit perturbed with the Jews that they wanted him to crucify an innocent man. Labeling him as the Judean king could have been a way to get a jab in at the Jewish authorities, who totally rejected Jesus' claim of kingship. But the sign could have also been another way to mock Jesus. How could a king be crucified? How could a king experience such levels of humiliation? This very well could be a way to make fun of Jesus and his followers. We don't really know Pilate's motivation. And then there are the criminals crucified next to Jesus. The Scripture said even they reviled Jesus (in Mark's Gospel, we don't have the story about one of the robbers coming to belief in Jesus). Others were hurling insults at him, leaders and regular people. I don't know what it is about the human condition that we like to kick people when they are down. Maybe it makes weak people feel powerful. I don't know, but it is hard to read. Nobody understood who he was and why he allowed himself to be executed. And Jesus' humility and love are amazing. More tomorrow. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Episode 53 reviews the first four tools and techniques that make up the Hierarchy of Interventions (Distraction, Engaging, Verbal Redirection, Labeling) and presents the next two steps in the Hierarchy, Changing the Environment and Limit Setting. A major emphasis is placed on using these techniques to not only manage behaviors, but also to help clients develop their abilities to self-regulate. Behavior Management is a necessary component of providing Care to troubled children and youth. All kids sometimes exhibit behavior problems. However, kids in residential treatment, perhaps especially because they're surrounded by other struggling peers, will sometimes use problem-behaviors. Part of the Care of children is to maintain a safe environment, including efforts to keep kids safe from their own dysregulated behaviors and those of their peers. But behavior management is not enough. In addition to providing Care, a residential treatment program must also provide a Treatment experience. It's not enough to create an environment in which kids "behave" only to have problem-behaviors reappear after kids leave the program. For lasting change to occur, kids need to improve their abilities to self-regulate their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors (including internal physiological "behaviors"). When used skillfully, the techniques that make up the Hierarchy of Intervention can be used in way that not only manages behaviors but also encourages the brain development necessary for improved self-regulation. Changing the Environment is a very powerful way to help kids who have become overwhelmed and dysregulated to the point where they can no longer fully process language. Changing various aspects of a kids surroundings is a generally reliable way to help them to calm down to the point where they can calm down enough to make thoughtful choices. Limit Setting, when used to clarify behavioral expectations, and especially when used to clarify values, is another way to help kids learn how to better regulate their own thoughts and behaviors.

In part 2 of a critical two-part series, Etienne Nichols and regulatory affairs expert Mike Drues explore the nuanced pathway of switching a medical device from prescription (Rx) to over-the-counter (OTC). This episode dives deep into what triggers a new submission, how usability testing and human factors play an expanded role for lay users, and the regulatory logic that guides these transitions. The conversation highlights the importance of aligning regulatory strategy with business goals, and offers practical insights on leveraging real-world evidence, understanding the limits of FDA databases, and optimizing pre-submission meetings.Key Timestamps02:10 – Starting from a cleared 510(k): Do you need a new submission for OTC?06:45 – Implications of removing the healthcare provider from the equation12:00 – Risk management: Expanding risk profiles when lay users are involved18:15 – When a 510(k) becomes a De Novo or PMA22:50 – Usability testing and the risk of user error in OTC devices31:20 – Clinical investigations and good clinical practices (GCPs)36:00 – Real-world evidence vs. real-world data—what's usable?41:30 – Using Pre-Subs effectively and what “quality data” really means47:10 – Labeling, cleaning, and UDI for OTC products53:40 – OTC software and digital health—when is it a regulated device?01:00:00 – Summary: Aligning regulatory logic with common sense and business strategyQuotes“With an OTC device, we are taking the healthcare professional totally, completely, and utterly out of the loop.”– Mike DruesThis quote encapsulates the core regulatory challenge in moving a device to OTC: every element, from labeling to usability, must assume zero clinical supervision.“If the clinical trial won't tell you anything you don't already know from good real-world evidence, why spend the time and money?”– Mike DruesA powerful argument for using well-documented real-world evidence over unnecessary trials—provided the data truly meets evidentiary standards.Top TakeawaysLabel Expansion ≠ Shortcut: Moving from prescription to OTC usually requires a new submission—especially when removing the healthcare provider introduces new risks.Usability Testing Is Critical: OTC usability studies must go beyond IFU comprehension to include risk of misuse, poor device selection, and user decision-making.Real-World Evidence Can Help—If It's Clean: Real-world data isn't always usable. FDA will expect reproducibility, traceability, and strong justifications.Labeling & Design Must Assume No Clinical Oversight: Cleaning procedures, warnings, and directions must all be validated for home use and layperson comprehension.Use Pre-Subs Wisely: Especially for label expansions or gray-area digital health tools, pre-subs provide critical alignment with FDA and prevent costly errors.References & ResourcesEtienne Nichols on LinkedInFDA Guidance on Real-World Evidence for Regulatory Decision-MakingGreenlight Guru Webinar: What is and Isn't a Regulated Medical Device (feat.

Over time, we take on ideas about who we are and how we are. We start to see them as our personality, our character. Maybe someone we respect has frequently referred to us as a hard worker. Maybe a friend has commented favorably on our looks. Maybe a sibling has called us stupid. Maybe a counselor has diagnosed us as anxious or depressed. Whatever "labels" have affected us become the story we believe about ourselves. Without understanding the way Thought works, we can hold ourselves back -- or exceed beyond our dreams -- depending on how seriously we take our labels and whether we recognize that we can decide what thoughts to take to heart, and we can change our minds.Support the show

What is the true legacy of Pope Francis? Michael Savage discusses the controversial topic of Pope Francis's legacy, expressing both admiration for Catholicism and criticism of the late Pope. Labeling him "Lenin's Pope" for prioritizing political agendas like socialism over his spiritual leadership. Savage contrasts Francis with past popes, arguing that his background in a South American socialist environment has skewed his economic perspectives. He critiques the Pope's involvement in U.S.-Cuba relations and his promotion of climate change initiatives. He references historical examples of past Popes who acted more like political leaders than spiritual figures. Savage urges Catholics to discern between the pope's moral teachings and his opinions on complex socio-economic issues, reinforcing that one doesn't have to align with the pope on political views to maintain one's faith.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Owen, attorney/owner of Ambiente Legal, about the significant regulatory developments regarding chemical registration in Latin America, including Latin American Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) initiatives and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). We discuss Brazil REACH, which requires by law the government to have an implementing regulation issued by May 2025, Colombia REACH, also subject to a fast-approaching May 2025 deadline, and other Latin American REACH and GHS deadlines. We also discuss the August 2025 deadline in Chile for the notification of chemicals included in professional and consumer products, and much more regarding developments in countries south of our border.

This episode is the second in a three-episode arc that presents the Hierarchy of Interventions. This grouping of 10 interventions forms a core curriculum of counseling skills used by residential staff to encourage the development of kids' self-regulation abilities. Last episode focused on using Distraction, Engaging, and Verbal Redirection to interrupt and prevent kids from going down an off-track path toward increased emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dysregulation. This episode introduces the Aspect Compass model of the human mind. Understanding this metaphor for how the mind works, makes it easier for direct-care counseling staff to move beyond the behavior-management level of intervention and instead help kids development their self-regulation abilities. This episode revisits those three interventions from the perspective of the Aspect Compass Model and then goes on to present the labeling intervention. Different variations on the Labeling intervention are used to increase clients' self-monitoring of their own behaviors, their own bodies, their own feelings, and their own developing social skills. One variation on Labeling is also used in place of giving directions and setting limits. Those interventions are intended to encourage compliance, where labeling encourages kids to chose cooperation.
In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, speak with Perry Knoppert, founder of The Octopus Movement, joining us from the Netherlands. We explore everything from octopus facts (like how they once had bones and decided to ditch them—wild, right?) to neurodivergence, non-linear thinking, the alien-like nature of both octopuses and AI, and how the future of education might finally reflect the chaos and creativity of human intelligence. Perry drops insight bombs on ADHD, dyslexia, chaos as a superpower, and even shares a wild idea about how frustration—not just ideas—can shape the world. You can connect with him and explore more at theoctopusmovement.org, and check out his playful venting app at tellTom.ink.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:31 Fascinating Facts About Octopi02:03 The Octopus Movement: Origins and Symbolism05:55 Exploring Neurodivergence and AI20:15 The Future of Education with AI29:48 Challenges in the Dutch Education System30:59 Educational Pathways in the US31:50 Exploring Neurodiversity32:34 The Origin of Neurodiversity34:34 Nomadic DNA and ADHD36:02 Personal Nomadic Experiences37:20 Cultural Insights from China41:59 Trust in Different Cultures44:20 The Foreigner Experience52:21 Artificial and Natural Intelligence55:11 The Octopus Movement and Tell Tom AppKey InsightsNeurodivergence isn't a superpower—it's a different lens on reality. Perry challenges the popular narrative that conditions like ADHD or dyslexia are inherently "superpowers." Instead, he sees them as part of a broader, complex human experience—often painful, often misunderstood, but rich with potential once liberated from linear systems that define what's "normal."AI is the beautiful product of linear thought—and it's freeing us from it. Perry reframes artificial intelligence not as a threat, but as the ultimate tool born from centuries of structured, logical thinking. With AI handling the systems and organization, humans are finally free to return to creativity, chaos, and nonlinear, intuitive modes of intelligence that machines can't touch.Octopuses are the ultimate symbol of curious misfits. The octopus—alien, adaptable, emotion-rich—becomes a metaphor for people who don't fit the mold. With three hearts, nine brains, and a decentralized nervous system, octopuses reflect the kind of intelligence and distributed awareness Perry celebrates in neurodivergent thinkers.Frustration is more generative than ideas. In one of the episode's most unexpected insights, Perry argues that frustration is a more powerful starting point for change than intellectual ideation. Ideas are often inert without action, while frustration is raw, emotional, and deeply human—fuel for meaningful transformation.Education needs to shift from repetition to creation. The current model of education—memorization, repetition, testing—serves linearity, not creativity. With AI taking over traditional knowledge tasks, Perry envisions classrooms where kids learn how their minds work, engage with the world directly, and practice making meaning instead of memorizing facts.Being a foreigner is a portal to freedom. Living in unfamiliar cultures (like Perry did in China or Stewart in Argentina) reveals the absurdities of our own norms and invites new ways of being. Foreignness becomes a superpower in itself—a space of lowered expectations, fewer assumptions, and greater possibility.Labels like “neurodivergent” are both helpful and illusory. While diagnostic labels can offer relief and clarity, Perry warns against attaching too tightly to them. These constructs are inventions of linear thought, useful for navigating systems but ultimately limiting when it comes to embracing the full, messy, nonlinear reality of being human.

This episode continues to present a model for how to structure a supervision meeting. Last episode focused on how a Unit Supervisor sometimes functions primarily as a Counselor. In that sub-role, the Supervisor is most concerned with the emotional well-being of their Supervisees. Although that can fill the entire supervision meeting, generally, after five to ten minutes the meeting agenda will usually move on to the Supervisor sub-role of functioning primarily as a Teacher. Being an effective Teacher means having an organized curriculuum that typically draws from your agency's policies and procedures manual. The Supervisor is tasked with making sure that each staff person has the necessary knowledge to properly implement the program. Some of that can be addressed in staff meetings, however, becuase new staff are hired throughout the year, the supervision meeting serves as a place to individually make sure that every staff has the necessary familiarity with the program's and the residential unit's policies, procedures, practices, and philosophy of care and treatment. However, the bulk of the supervision meeting time is typically best spent with the Supervisor in the sub-role of a Coach. As a Coach, the Supervisor focuses on the skills that each staff person needs to excel at their job. The fundamentals of residential care and treatment can be divided up into three categories: Executive Skills, Engagement Skills, and Teamwork Skills. Work on these skills, especially for newer staff is the foundation for their professional development as caregivers. These fundamental skills are different than specific counseling skills that will be the focus of a future podcast episode. Those counselor skills, such as Verbal Redirection, Labeling, Change of Environment, Limit Setting, Forced Choice, Weighted Choice, and Centering Breaks are treatment skills that will also need coaching to learn and master. However, the use of fundamental skills (Executive Skills, Engagement Skills, and Teamwork Skills) are a great place for a Unit Supervisor to start with coaching since their use will create a therapeutic environment on the residential unit.
What will be the true legacy of Pope Francis? Michael Savage discusses the controversial topic of Pope Francis's legacy, expressing both admiration for Catholicism and criticism of the current Pope. Labeling him "Lenin's Pope" for prioritizing political agendas like socialism over his spiritual leadership. Savage contrasts Francis with past popes, arguing that his background in a South American socialist environment has skewed his economic perspectives. He critiques the Pope's involvement in U.S.-Cuba relations and his promotion of climate change initiatives. He references historical examples of past Popes who acted more like political leaders than spiritual figures. Savage urges Catholics to discern between the pope's moral teachings and his opinions on complex socio-economic issues, reinforcing that one doesn't have to align with the pope on political views to maintain one's faith. He also expresses the importance of prayer and spiritual support for the Pope as he faces medical issues.

The latest episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast series features guest host Senior National Security Fellow Todd Bensman in conversation with Jaeson Jones, a leading expert on Mexican cartels and a border correspondent.This timely discussion highlights the recent designation of six Mexican drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) by the Trump administration and the multifaceted approach by all levels of government that this permits, allowing the U.S. to combat the cartels in sync with the Mexican government.Key topics covered include:Evolution of Mexican Cartels: Exploration of how Mexican cartels, now in 65 countries around the world, have transitioned from organized crime syndicates to parallel governments in Mexico, exhibiting extreme violence and governmental infiltration.Advocacy for FTO Designation: Discussion on Jones' rationale for advocating for the FTO designation, emphasizing the need for enhanced legal frameworks to effectively combat the rapid and violent operations of cartels.Strategic Framework Post-Designation: Analysis of the comprehensive approach required to dismantle cartel networks, underscoring the necessity for coordinated efforts across all branches of government.Implications of FTO Status: Examination of the potential outcomes of the FTO designation, including:Revocation of visas for individuals associated with designated cartels.Inclusion of cartel affiliates on no-fly lists.Enhanced capabilities to target and seize financial assets linked to cartel operations.Addressing Fentanyl Trafficking: Strategies to combat the smuggling of fentanyl, focusing on disrupting supply chains originating from countries such as China, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, and addressing the corruption within Mexico that facilitates these operations.Game Changer: Prediction by Jones – With the FTO designation, the number of lives we can now save is unprecedented.In his closing commentary, Bensman highlights the recent agreement between Mexico and the United States, in which Mexico will deploy 10,000 additional troops to the border, and the United States will assist in intercepting American guns that end up in cartel hands. However, Bensman notes a lack of reliable evidence supporting the claim that most of the cartels' firearms come from U.S. gun stores. The cartels have, for years, equipped themselves with military-grade weapons from Mexico's own corrupt military and from the armories of corrupt officials in Central American and South American nations.HostTodd Bensman is a National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestJaeson Jones is an expert on Mexican cartels and a border correspondent.RelatedJaeson Jones WebsiteJaeson Jones on XAmerican Guns Are Not to Blame for Mexico's Cartel ProblemIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle a tough but important issue: the erosion of trust and privacy in first responder marriages (Amazon Affiliate). A police wife recently shared a post about her husband's squad chat, where an officer complained about his wife's jealousy and even shared their private messages with his colleagues. While camaraderie among officers is essential, sharing private conversations with coworkers can be a serious breach of trust that damages relationships. It can leave spouses feeling disrespected, insecure, and unsure of how to handle natural concerns about workplace dynamics. In this episode, we'll unpack five major issues within this scenario and five solutions for building a relationship rooted in trust, respect, and healthy communication. Five Issues This Situation Highlights: Breach of Privacy Private conversations between spouses should remain private. When messages are shared with coworkers, it damages trust and makes the spouse feel vulnerable and disrespected. Downplaying Concerns as ‘Crazy' or ‘Irrational' Labeling a spouse's feelings as irrational instead of addressing them with empathy creates division instead of resolution in the relationship. The ‘Locker Room Culture' in Law Enforcement Some squads encourage an unhealthy culture where officers vent about their spouses in group chats, fostering negativity instead of accountability. Unclear Boundaries About Opposite-Sex Coworkers The wife in this post clearly has concerns about female officers, but the husband doesn't seem to be addressing them proactively, leading to suspicion and insecurity. Failure to Reassure and Strengthen the Marriage Instead of using open communication to validate his wife's feelings, the husband brushes off her concerns, likely making them worse. Five Solutions to Strengthen Trust and Communication: Respect Privacy and Keep Personal Conversations Between Partners If an issue needs outside perspective, seek trusted counsel (a mentor, chaplain, or therapist), not the squad chat. Solution: Agree as a couple that private texts stay private and discuss concerns with each other first. Acknowledge and Validate Concerns, Even If You Don't Agree A spouse's concerns are not ‘crazy' just because they are different from your perspective. Solution: Instead of dismissing her feelings, the officer could say: "I understand why you feel this way. Let's talk about what makes you uncomfortable and how I can reassure you." Encourage Healthy Conversations About Workplace Friendships Many first responder spouses aren't concerned about workplace friendships—just the secrecy around them. Solution: Have proactive discussions about workplace dynamics before concerns arise so there is clarity about what's appropriate and what isn't. Shift the Squad Culture from Gossip to Growth Officers should hold each other accountable for respecting their marriages, not encouraging toxic venting. Solution: Encourage peer support that strengthens relationships rather than breaking them down. Prioritize Reassurance and Transparency If the wife in this situation is feeling insecure, the husband has an opportunity to reassure her rather than dismiss her. Solution: Create openness by sharing information before it becomes a problem. Example: "Hey, we have a new female officer starting next week. Just wanted you to know upfront in case you hear me mention her." Why This Matters: First responder marriages face unique stressors, and trust is the foundation that holds everything together. When personal conversations become squad room jokes, it weakens the bond between spouses and damages communication. By setting clear boundaries, respecting each other's concerns, and shifting workplace culture, first responders can strengthen both their relationships and their professional integrity. Listen now to learn how to build a marriage that thrives in the face of challenges—without squad drama getting in the way!
