Podcasts about labeling

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, peace is not mere avoidance of conflict but a state secured through strength and decisive action against threats like Iran's nuclear ambitions. No great president—Washington, Lincoln, Reagan, or Trump—would tolerate such dangers. "America First" prioritizes national security and global stability, not isolationism. It demands pragmatic, not ideological, foreign policy, assessing each threat uniquely. Labeling prudent action as "pro-war" is a misnomer; opposing nuclear-armed terrorists is pro-American.  A Kamala Harris presidency, aligning with appeasement, would weaken America and allies like Israel. Trump's leadership, grounded in common sense, rejects endless wars but never shies from necessary action. Also, Israel has a right to live in a free society. These attacks from Iran, ongoing for years and escalating since October 7th, force Israelis to live in constant fear, with frequent sirens driving families to seek shelter in protective rooms or basements multiple times a day. This relentless situation disrupts normal life, preventing children from playing in parks or attending school regularly, and could cause significant psychological strain. Later, some members of Congress, mostly Democrats and a few Republicans, are attempting to undermine the President's authority as Commander-in-Chief by citing the War Powers Act of 1973. This law is unconstitutional, as it shifts power from the President to Congress, contradicting the Constitution's design. The President, it asserts, holds sole authority over military decisions, while Congress's role is limited to declaring war and controlling funding.  Afterward, Sean Hannity calls in to discuss the Israel/Iran war.  Hannity explains that Trump's leadership is defined by common-sense principles, particularly his consistent stance since 2011 that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. He contrasts this with misguided isolationism, asserting that preventing a nuclear-armed Iran is critical to global security. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today, we're joined by Jason Corso, co-founder of Voxel51 and professor at the University of Michigan, to explore automated labeling in computer vision. Jason introduces FiftyOne, an open-source platform for visualizing datasets, analyzing models, and improving data quality. We focus on Voxel51's recent research report, “Zero-shot auto-labeling rivals human performance,” which demonstrates how zero-shot auto-labeling with foundation models can yield to significant cost and time savings compared to traditional human annotation. Jason explains how auto-labels, despite being "noisier" at lower confidence thresholds, can lead to better downstream model performance. We also cover Voxel51's "verified auto-labeling" approach, which utilizes a "stoplight" QA workflow (green, yellow, red light) to minimize human review. Finally, we discuss the challenges of handling decision boundary uncertainty and out-of-domain classes, the differences between synthetic data generation in vision and language domains, and the potential of agentic labeling.

E405 – Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine and Betsy Pepine

The central narrative of The Story of the Chinese Farmer powerfully reminds us that what may initially seem like fortune or misfortune can lead to unforeseen consequences. The farmer's unique response of "maybe" to various events illustrates the wisdom in suspending immediate judgment. By refraining from labeling experiences too quickly, we can embrace the impermanence and uncertainty of life. This episode emphasizes mindful acceptance, urging listeners to observe events with detachment from strong emotional responses. Through this practice, we can cultivate a greater sense of personal growth and resilience. Margaret encourages us to incorporate the farmer's mindset into our daily lives, fostering a broader perspective that acknowledges the duality of experiences. What appears to be a setback may ultimately pave the way for unexpected blessings, and vice versa.

Why do we keep making money decisions that go against our best interests? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Hanna Horvath, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and financial psychology expert, to unpack why our brains are literally wired to sabotage our financial goals—and what we can do to change that. Hanna shares powerful insights from her work as the creator of “Your Brain on Money,” explaining how cognitive biases like loss aversion and decision fatigue impact everything from investing to impulse spending. We also dive into why more money doesn't automatically equal more peace, how to align your financial habits with your core values, and practical strategies to work with your brain rather than against it. Plus, Hanna reveals the simple mindset shifts that can help you spend without guilt, stop financial perfectionism in its tracks, and finally break free from those unconscious money scripts that are keeping you stuck. You'll hear: Why our brains are wired to make terrible financial decisions The connection between money anxiety and identity How to set up financial guardrails that align with your values The role of decision fatigue in impulsive spending How to separate self-worth from net worth You'll walk away knowing: Our brains are hardwired to make poor money choices. Loss aversion can lead to irrational financial behaviors. Understanding the emotional aspects of money is crucial. Automating financial decisions can reduce decision fatigue. Creating guardrails helps in making better financial choices. The digital age has made spending frictionless and impulsive. Investing can feel less tangible and more emotional than spending. Self-compassion is key in financial decision-making. Recognizing the disconnect between financial reality and emotions is important. Labeling oneself as 'bad with money' can be counterproductive. Practice self-compassion in financial behavior. Financial habits are a journey, not a destination. Social media heightens financial anxiety.

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.

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.

Do you pay attention to information printed on food labels? From eye-catching designs companies use to entice you to buy a product to nutrition facts panels to the tiny dates printed on packages. There's a lot going on to be sure. For policymakers, they hope that refining date labels on food packaging will help reduce the amount of uneaten food ending up in landfills. Food Waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The Food and Drug Administration and the Food Safety and Inspection Service recently asked for public input on food date labels. So, we decided to gather some experts together to talk about this important policy tool. Roni Neff is a professor in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Senior Advisor at the School's Center for a Livable Future. Her research looks at the intersection of food waste policy, climate change, and food system resilience. Brian Roe is a professor at the Ohio State University Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Developmental Economics. His work focuses on issues including agricultural marketing, information policy, behavioral economics, and product quality. Ruiqing Miao is an associate professor of agricultural economics and rural sociology at Auburn University's College of Agriculture. His research emphasizes sustainability, innovation, and decision making. Interview Summary Brian, let's begin with you and let's make sure everyone's on the same page. Can you talk to us a little bit about what date labels are and where they are on packaging. And what is industry required to include in terms of these date labels? Yes, so date labels, we see them anytime we pick up a food package. Most packages are going to have some type of date label on them. Oddly, federal law doesn't regulate these or really require these other than the exception of infant formula, which is the only federal requirement domain out there. But in the absence of federal regulation, states have kind of done their own thing. About 40 different states require date labels on at least some food products. And about 20 states prohibit or restrict the sale or donation of food past the label date. And even though states that require date labels, manufacturers can still choose the dates. There are no real regulations on them. So, recognizing that confusion over date labels can lead to unnecessary food waste, Government and industry actors have made, you know, some efforts to try to standardize date labeling language. But nothing terribly authoritative. Now, some states have introduced bills that seek to standardize date labels, with the motivation to try to get rid of and reduce food waste. California being perhaps the most recent of these. In 2024, they passed a bill that prohibits the use of any date label other than 'Best if Used By,' the phrase that goes along with foods where the date represents kind of a quality indicator. And then the phrase 'Use By,", if that date has some implications for product safety. The bill doesn't go into effect until July of '26, so we're going to see if this is going to create a domino effect across other states, across the food manufacturing center or even bubble up and be dealt with at the federal legislation level. Now, industries tried to do things before. Back in 2017, the Food Marketing Institute and the Grocers Manufacturers Association had a standardized date labeling suggestion that some firms bought into. FDA has given out some guidance about preferring 'Best if Used By' on certain food products to indicate quality. But again, we're all kind of waiting to see if there might be a federal legislation that kind of brings these state labels into check. Thanks, Brian. And it's really important to know about the policy landscape and the fact that there hasn't been a federal policy across all foods. And it's interesting to see the efforts of, say, in California. I think this begs the question; how do consumers actually process the information of date labels? This fascinated us too. A very clever person at Ohio State that I work with, Dr. Aishwarya Badiger, led a study I was part of. We enlisted consumers to come into the Consumer Evaluation Lab that we have here on campus and evaluate samples of milk. They were presented with the label of each milk. We gave them a little glass with a nose full of the milk that they could sniff. So, they're looking at the date label, they're given the sample they could smell, and then we kind of asked them, Hey, if this were in your fridge, would you keep it or toss it? But the entire time we actually had them fitted with special glasses that precisely track their eye movements so we could understand kind of which information they were looking at while they went through the whole process of evaluating and then making their decision. Consumers overwhelmingly looked at the date itself on the package and largely ignored the phrase or the words that go along with the date. In fact, for more than half of the evaluations, the consumer's eyes never went anywhere near the phrase. This is important. And actually, we'll talk about that a little bit more with some of our other guests. So, what are the implications of date label policies? So the eye tracking research really drove home to me that dates are much more salient than phrases. Although all the policies largely deal with the phrases. Dates give you actionable information. People can look at the date on the label, look at the calendar, and man, that's something they can do something about. They can act based upon that. The phrases are a little bit more ambiguous as Roni will talk about later. I think that people have a hard time interpreting what those phrases really mean. That doesn't mean we should not try to unify those phrases, but rather this is going to be a longer-term investment in educational infrastructure that until those phrases really become salient and actionable to consumers. And then become more of a critical component of the policies. But right now, policies are generally silent on dates. And dates seem to be the real action mover. Yeah. So why don't we just get rid of all of this? What would be the implications? Yes. We did this experiment too. Same kind of setup. Had people come in, they had the jug of the milk in front of them. They had a glass of milk that they could sniff. Same thing. And we had a bunch of different milks. We had some that were only like 15 days post pasteurization. Some that went out to like 40 days past pasteurization. So, the youngest or the freshest had about three days, quote unquote, left on its date label. The 40-day old milk was like two or three weeks past the date. And we did two things. We had them evaluate the milk with the dates on the jugs, and then we had ones where we took the dates and the labels off the milk. Not surprisingly, when they did not have the dates on the milk, they were much more likely to say that they would keep the milk. Even that 40-day old milk, about half of them said, yeah, I'd drink this. I'd keep this if it were in my fridge. But it wasn't a slam dunk. So, our youngest and freshest milk had an odd flavor note. You know, sometimes as the seasons change, feed sources change for cattle, you get an odd flavor note. It's not spoilage, it's just a slightly different note. And when people have the date label, they were much more willing to give that milk a second chance and say that they would keep it. But if the date label wasn't on there, they took that odd flavor note and said, I'm going to toss this milk. So, it's really kind of a nuanced thing. And if you would take those off, I think you're going to get some consumers who are going to kind of freak out without any guidance. And they might have kind of an itchy trigger finger when it comes to throwing away that milk or other products. So, it's compelling. We've seen England, the UK, do this; take dates off of certain products. But I would probably want to see a little more example of how consumers are responding to that before I fully endorse that as kind of a policy movement forward. Brian, thank you for that. And I have got to say, I was not expecting to have a conversation about the bouquet of a glass of milk. But this is really an interesting finding, and it does help us understand some other things that we're going to talk about. Roni, I want to turn our attention to you. And I know you are someone who's been involved in understanding date labels for a while. And I really appreciate it and I've said it before, but you're the reason I got into this work. I want to understand a little bit more about what are important things to understand about the misconceptions that consumers may have about food date labels? And why does it matter for policymakers? Well, I'll start with just saying that conceptions are what we know rationally. And it's not the whole picture because as Brian was alluding to a lot of our decision making is going on in our emotions. And like I can tell my son all day long the fact that that milk is okay, he's going to toss it because he doesn't trust it. There's a lot more going on than conceptions. But I want to talk about two misconceptions. The first one is that despite what Brian just said about the fact that these date labels other than infant formula aren't federally regulated, about two in five people think that they are. We just did a national consumer survey in January 2025, and this is one of the findings. And I did that along with Emily Broad Lieb from the Harvard Food Law and Policy Project and Akif Khan also from there, and then Dana Gunders from ReFED. And in addition to this idea that they're federally regulated, I'll say that these kinds of beliefs were most common among those who were 18 to 34, parents with children under age 18, and black and Hispanic consumers. Our earlier work also found that those who think that food date labels are federally regulated are more likely to discard food based on them. All this speaks to a real challenge. And, you know, it kind of makes sense, like if you see something and you trust it, that it's from the federal government. And of course, we all trust the federal government these days. If you trust it, then you're going to respond to it. So that's an implication for food policy. And then the next thing we did also is that we tested understanding of five different food date label phrases: a date with no text, and then two of those phrases accompanied by icon images. And since none of these actually have a federally recognized meaning the correct answer for all of them in terms of the meaning is like other. But we also accepted answers that were aligned with that voluntary industry standard, just to kind of see how people were perceiving it. And, across all of these labels, only an average of 53% of people answered correctly about what these labels meant. Now, consumers were pretty good at identifying 'Best if Used By' as a quality label. But the real challenge comes in with 'Use By' which under the voluntary industry standards should be a safety label. And more people thought it was a quality label than thought it was a safety label; 44% versus 49%. And so, we need to clear up these misconceptions in support of food safety, in support of food waste prevention. But in order to do that, we need to be able to tell people clearly what the labels mean. And we can't really do that if there's no standardized meaning of what they mean. So, we really need a national standard, and that is the policy implication. Thank you for that. And I know Ruiqing and I have done some work in this space and in part learning from what you all have done. I'm interested because you mentioned the 2025 survey, but of course you also mentioned the 2016 survey. Are there any big shifts or anything that you want to tell us about changes that you see from those two different surveys? We asked a number of the same or almost identical questions in those two surveys. And since that time, we've adopted a voluntary industry standard and there's been a lot of education and communication about wasted food. And yet in our survey we actually found that things were going in the wrong direction. Consumer misunderstandings of date labels increased. Those who quote always or usually discard food based on the label: in 2016, that was 37%, and this year it was 43%. And then in terms of belief that these are federally regulated: in 2016 it was 36% and now it's 44%. We're going in the wrong direction despite all these activities, and I don't know why. I think for those who are looking for future research questions, this would be a really interesting one. This is really disturbing because all of the information that's come out about date labels. I thought people would understand this. And that this is where we would be in a different place. So, this work is really important. So, how did people's response to date labels vary by food item? Did you see any differences? Because this is something that comes up often that people may be more responsive to some food products versus others? Yeah, indeed. We asked about five different foods, and we showed a bunch of different labels for each food. And the responses did vary both based on the item and based on what label was on it. And I'll start with where caution is needed. Deli meats are one example of where we really want people to pay attention to that label. And while there's no federal standard that label's the best piece of information people has, so they should use it. And we found that only 65% would throw out the deli meat before, on, or just after the 'Use By' label. And the number of people that would respond to it reduced with other labels that were used, and older adults were most likely to disregard those labels. And they may be particularly vulnerable in terms of foodborne illness. So that's when lack of caution leads to risk. On the other hand, when caution leads to waste, we looked at raw chicken, pasteurized milk, lettuce, and breakfast cereal. And for all of those there, like the label is really only telling you about quality, and consumers should use their senses to decide, and knowledge of how that was, stored to decide whether to eat it. And so, the most common out of all five foods, including the deli, the one that they responded the strongest to was raw chicken. And that chicken can be contaminated as we know, but if you cook it, you're killing those bacteria, so it's okay. And averaging across all those different date labels, we found 54% would discard these four foods based on the date. And the piece that was most striking to me was that for breakfast cereal, 43% said they were discarded based on the date. So, we've got some education to do. Yeah. In the earlier paper I did with colleagues at Cornell, we used breakfast cereal and we were surprised to see how much people willing to throw away breakfast cereal if it were passed to date. There is confirmation and we see this happen in many other products. And we'll definitely talk about some of those product differences with Ruiqing. The last question I'd like to ask you is you found that many consumers thought they knew the meanings of the various food date labels, but they were incorrect. And in some of the work that you've done in the past, you found that many people answered incorrectly even after viewing information about the labels. So even when you educated folks or gave people information, they still made incorrect choices. Why do you think this is, and what should we do about it? And some people's responses do improve when you show them the information, but it was striking in that study that seconds after having read the definition, according to the voluntary industry standard, people were giving the wrong answer. Even though they had previously said that they thought they understood it. So, to me, this suggests that they already think they know the answer and so they're not tuning in. And this speaks to a real challenge that we're going to have when we do standardize these date labels. How are we going to reach people and capture their attention. Like, if we just change the policy, that does nothing. We've got to reach people and we've got to do it in a sophisticated and well-planned way. And I think the education should also emphasize that misunderstandings are common because that might be something that would help wake people up. But beyond that, we've got to capture their attention. So, you know, dancing clowns, whatever it is that wakes people up. I have a fear of clowns, so I'm not sure if I want that as a policy recommendation. However... For the deli meats we want you to be afraid, so it's okay. Yes, I agree. I agree. One of the things that this conversation has helped us see is that there's some real concerns around whether or not people are paying attention to the label. Or there may be paying more attention to the dates. And even when people are taught or encouraged to think about the dates, there seems to be a mismatch. And Ruiqing, I want to now turn to you because one of the things in the study that we were a part of, there's some questions about differences among people. So, in the paper that we recently published on the relationship between date labels and anticipated food waste, and people's individual orientation to risk and loss, can you tell us a little bit about what some of the key findings of that paper are? Right. So, the paper is published recently in Applied Economics Perspective Policy. It's one of the official journals of Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). Norbert is the leading author. So, this paper built on the framework of prospect theory and is based on the data from a series of experiments we conducted in Alabama and also the state of New York. We find that consumers do adjust their anticipated food waste by date labels and by how much they tolerate risk and losses. In the experiment, we particularly measured their tolerance to risk and losses. We found that the 'Use By' date labels tend to lead to more anticipated food waste than 'Best Buy'. Maybe this echo what Roni has said. So, people may tend to link 'Use By' with quality and food safety. We also found that the consumers with low tolerance to losses and are associated with higher anticipated foot waste regardless of date labels and the products. So, we can see a heterogeneity of the responses of different consumers to date labels and food items based on their tolerance to losses and risks. Thank you for that. And I think this is a really important aspect of looking at this set of studies because we see that people are different. They respond differently. And they have different ideas about how they handle losses. This idea that it can be worse to lose a hundred dollars versus to gain a hundred dollars. Or the way we understand how we'll negatively respond versus how positively we respond. Using this economic framework of prospect theory, something that is drawn from actually the psychology literature to better understand how people react to food labels while shopping. What are some key features of this approach to explaining people's behaviors and why do you think it's a good choice? Why do you think it's important to do this? One of the key features of prospect theory is it divides the possible outcomes of a risky event into two domains. One is a gain domain and one is a loss domain. So, in terms of the food consumption, probably the most likely status quo is do not eat the food items. So, the gain domain might be gaining nutrition from the food item. The loss domain might be the loss of health if the food item is bad. So, I think this framework fits particularly well to describe the consumer's trade off in their mind when they face a food item with a date label that is maybe one day or two days past the expiration date. So, one possibility is you consume this food. If it is good, you get nutrition and if it is bad, you potentially get lost health or lose one day of work or so on. So, I think this model can capture the trade off or the decision-making procedure in a consumer's mind pretty well. And experiments data support the theoretical prediction that loss aversion may affect people's food waste decisions. Thank you for that. And I think what's one of the sort of take home messages that I've learned out of this process is this heterogeneity, the fact that people are different and may respond differently to these date labels, really does put the onus upon policymakers to think critically what date labels, if we were to use them, or if we think they have an effect, which are the right ones. And so I actually want to open up the question to all of you. In your view, what next steps make sense for date labels to help address the food waste challenges that we see in this country? Let's start with you, Brian. Ooh, yeah. So, to me a compelling issue that needs to be addressed is how do we get 'Use By' to really translate to be people to be about safety? Is it a different color? I know we don't want to mess with the phrases, but do we just call this safety date and put it in red or put a clown by it if that scares you. Something along those lines to make that stand out. And then on the relevance side, I think it might be out of policy, but perhaps, industry collaboration to really push printed dates to the end of that quality horizon. So that everybody has confidence that they're not going to get undercut by somebody else having an earlier date printed for cereals or for canned goods or something like that. To have a kind of a truce among commercial interests to say, okay, typically canned beans, has this type of 180 days or 360 days. Let's push it to the end of that acceptable horizon so that we don't have unwarranted waste happening as often. Those are two ideas that I've kind of chewed on a lot and think could be positive steps forward. But I'm fascinated to hear what others think. Thank you, Brian and I really don't like the idea of putting clowns anywhere near this. I want to go to you, Roni. All right, well first, I'll a thousand percent echo everything that Brian just said. And I'll note also in terms of the 'Use By' date, the label that was most commonly associated with food safety was 'Expires On' by consumers. But that isn't part of what has been under [policy] discussion. But anyway, in addition to echoing that, I'll just say we do need a standardized policy and it has to be accompanied by a well-designed education campaign. And this policy change, it's just a no-brainer. It's not controversial. It's fairly minimal cost. And given the high food prices and the struggles that consumers are having right now, they need every tool that they can to save money and food, and this is one of them. Great. Thank you, Roni. I'll give the last word to you, Ruiqing. Yeah. I will echo what Brian and Roni said. So, a well-designed policy and public education campaign. Particularly for the education campaign. I think regardless of if there is a policy change or not, I think it is time to do a public education campaign. Norbert, we have done the research on food waste for almost nine years, right? So, I learned a little bit about the date label's meaning. But still, I cannot change my wife's opinion. When she sees sell by yesterday for the milk, she would suggest we throw it away. But I said this is not for us, this is for sellers. But she wouldn't believe so because I cannot persuade her. But maybe an education campaign from more authoritative institutional federal government can change people's mind as a researcher or like even husband cannot change. Roni - And can I just add to that, just please. I think that the economics and psychology expertise that all of you have can really contribute to that. Because I think that's a really important point that you're making. And it's not just factual, it's emotional too. And so how do we, you know, get in there and change what people do beyond their knowledge? Bios Roni Neff is a Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Department of Environmental Health & Engineering and the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, an academic center focused on food systems and public health.

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.

Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.Labeling Your Partner - Narcissist!In Episode 263 of The 'NEW' Marriage, we dive into the danger of labeling your partner a narcissist. While real narcissistic behavior exists, mislabeling out of anger, hurt, or misunderstanding can destroy trust and intimacy. We explore when labeling becomes toxic, how to recognize true patterns, and how to focus on healing and honest communication instead of blame.

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.

In this episode of Passion for Dance, host Dr. Chelsea explores the phrase "leave it at the door" in the dance industry and its relevance in 2025. Joined by guest expert Dr. Audrey Schnell, a psychologist and coach with over 40 years of experience, they discuss handling emotions, building resilience, self-sabotage, and the fine line between pushing oneself and taking necessary breaks.  Together, they offer valuable insights on teaching dancers to manage negative emotions without letting them interfere with performance and the importance of labeling and processing feelings. They also highlight the dual role of dance as both a source of joy and potential pain, emphasizing the need for self-love and guided encouragement in the pursuit of success.   Episode Resources: https://passionfordancepodcast.com/203 Connect with Dr Audrey: https://audreyschnell.com Episode Breakdown: 00:38 Meet Dr. Audrey Schnell: Expert in Personal Development 04:38 Handling Emotions in Dance 11:15 The Importance of Resilience 21:43 Overcoming Failure and Building Resilience 22:33 Understanding Adolescent Emotions 23:39 Self-Sabotage and Emotional Management 25:10 The Impact of Change and Fear of the Unknown 29:19 Labeling and Understanding Emotions 33:15 Perfectionism in Dancers 36:41 The Healing Power of Movement 41:20 Final Thoughts and Advice

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.
