A legal loophole allowed Brandon Mitchell to bring home a baby boy via surrogacy, despite the fact that he was convicted of child sex abuse in 2016. Mitchell drew public outrage after posting a disturbing video of the baby on social media, with many calling for Pennsylvania laws to be changed – the state has strict oversight on adoption but different rules for surrogacy. Reduxx reports: “While Pennsylvania's adoption law does prohibits s*x offenders from adopting or fostering children, gestational surrogacy circumvents any such laws through pre-birth parentage orders.” York County DA Tim Barker says the loophole is a critical issue and urged lawmakers to protect kids with new legislation. Mitchell's attorney, Peter Kratsa, defended his client by saying Mitchell completed his sentence, counseling, and that there is no evidence he has reoffended.

This episode kicks off with a powerful story of malicious compliance from an IT worker denied on-call pay, who made sure the company paid the price literally. We also hear from a retail worker who served a petty refund with a smile, and a group of manufacturing employees who turned a no-loitering rule into a step-counting protest. Other tales include a consulting engineer who billed hard after being denied a simple limo ride and an employee who weaponized a rigid work-from-home policy. It's a full lineup of boss battles, policy blowback, and satisfying consequences.Submit your own stories to KarmaStoriesPod@gmail.com.Karma Stories is available on all major Podcasting Platforms and on YouTube under the @KarmaStoriesPodcast handle.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
If the client complains directly to your staff member about their poor service, should you go to bat for your team member? Should you publicly apologise and deal with the errant staff member privately? Should you make a public show of solidarity with the staff member and criticise the manner in which the complaint was made? Should you aggressively argue the point with the client? Should you just ignore it and get back to other pressing matters? The answers to these real life situations will differ, depending on the culture of your society and your legal system. America is a very litigious society and there seems to be a built in reflex to not admit guilt, accountability or responsibility. The upshot of this positioning is to ignore what was said to your staff member and hope it goes away naturally, after the client has gotten their complaint off their chest. Privately, the boss can then commiserate about the “nasty” client and bond with the staff member. Loopholes are always in high demand in these tense situations. The favourite one is to complain about how the client communicated the complaint. If the client is really losing it and abusing the staff member, that is great for the boss. Now their high horse can be mounted and a full attack on the unreasonableness of the client can be commenced. It is a bit trickier when there is no name calling and no florid abuse of the staff members stupidity. A clear outline of the staff member's failings by the client is annoying, because it is hard to beat it back. An attack on the language can be made anyway and various deductions made about the “accusatory” nature of the remarks and appeals made for fair play. If the labour market is tight, the boss may be prepared to lose a client in order to retain a key staff member. How about Japan? Arguing the point with the client is unthinkable. The same applies to taking responsibility and accountability. Japanese clients expect this and if it is not forthcoming, they will keep pushing until they get it. No sweeping under the tatami is acceptable here in Japan. The concept that the client has to be moderate in their communication of their complaint is a non-starter. The client is allowed to be as obstreperous as they like and the guilty party has to accept it. So as the boss, how do you deal with your staff member? Do you hang them out to dry and bear the full force gale of invective from the client, as a good lesson in client service requirements? Do you stand up for them and defend them against the client's claims, while privately reading them the riot act? Do you decide the staff member is someone you would rather retain than the client? I have recently been in all three of these scenarios. I have been the aggrieved client, observing the American style of “shift the blame back to the complaining client” model. I stood by my team member's claim against the service provider and went hard to support the argument that the service provision wasn't good enough. When the shape shifting kicked off, I went even harder to counter that nefarious attempt to slip out of the noose. I have fired the client. A very unpleasant client began belittling one of my salespeople, when speaking about her. I did not accept that libellous affront and staunchly defended the staff member, without hesitation. I then told my salesperson to fire that client and don't deal with them ever again and to keep a note in our CRM, for when they get fired and pop up in another company. Life is short and they are not the type of person we want to spend any time with, so we should get rid of them forever. And we did. I have screwed up. I have had to go hat in hand and apologise to the client for my shortcomings. I have had to sit there and be berated by the client, at length and in great detail, for the error. I had to be not only accountable, but also sincerely remorseful and apologetic. I had to determine to give the money back, without ever being asked to do so. In principle, we should accept responsibility for our service or product provision and when it is inadequate we should accept the blame and do everything we can to fix it. No mealy mouth platitudes or counter offensives about “inappropriate language”. We should be the one to bear the client's wrath and deal with our staff members in private. Is the client always right – no. We should stand ready to fire the client too, if that is what the situation calls for. None of this is easy, but we have to determine what we mean, when we say we are in the business of serving clients. We have to set the example for everyone to follow and we have to be consistent.

More Australians are turning towards using in-vitro fertilisations to have babies, every year. Often it's done through regulated IVF clinic, but sometimes parents - desperate for a child - search for a sperm donor on social media.

Story at-a-glance Texas Senate Bill 25 requires processed foods with banned ingredients to display a warning label stating they are “not recommended for human consumption.” It was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott on June 22, 2025 and takes effect September 1 The law targets 44 harmful ingredients already banned overseas, including artificial dyes, seed oils, bleached flour, and chemical preservatives found in everyday snacks Companies like PepsiCo, General Mills, and Walmart lobbied hard to weaken the bill, arguing it would hurt profits and create “confusion” for consumers Industry pressure already forced lawmakers to remove aspartame and high fructose corn syrup — two ingredients with known health risks — from the bill's scope Loopholes in the bill allow old packaging to remain on shelves for years, giving food companies time to keep selling toxic products without new warning labels
Is Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) the next evolution of EMS — or just a well-funded illusion? In this episode of The Black Cloud Society, we dive deep into the controversial world of community paramedicine. With promises of reduced ER visits, improved patient outcomes, and expanded roles for medics, MIH has made waves across the country. But not everyone's convinced.We sit down with voices from both sides of the aisle to ask the hard questions: Is MIH solving real problems, or just creating new ones? Is this model empowering providers — or stretching them too thin?Strap in for a brutally honest conversation about the future of EMS, the politics behind the funding, and whether MIH is truly here to stay… or just another industry pivot we didn't ask for.

What happens when a sophisticated scammer steals over half a million dollars in Bitcoin through a phone company's security failure? And more importantly, can you even take them to court?The answer is more complicated than you might think, as we explore in this eye-opening legal examination of consumer rights in the digital age. A British Columbia resident fell victim to an elaborate fraud when someone impersonated a Rogers technician, convinced a retail employee to enable screen sharing, and accessed the Rogers customer database. After extracting personal information, the scammer performed a SIM swap and drained the victim's cryptocurrency account, assets that later appreciated to a staggering one million dollars.When the victim attempted to sue Rogers, they encountered the hidden trap of arbitration clauses—those pages of legalese we all scroll through and accept without reading when setting up our services. Despite recent changes to BC consumer protection laws specifically banning these clauses, the court ruled in favor of Rogers on a fascinating technicality involving "retroactive" versus "retrospective" legislation. We break down this crucial distinction and explore how legislative language can determine whether consumers have access to justice.The episode also examines a compelling Vancouver assault case that showcases the notorious unreliability of eyewitness identification. Despite a police officer's "100% certainty" about identifying a suspect from security footage, the court wasn't convinced, particularly when the officer failed to notice the suspect's distinctive "benzo gait," a hunched walking style common among drug users in the Downtown Eastside. This case provides a powerful reminder of why confident witnesses don't necessarily make reliable ones.Whether you're concerned about protecting your digital assets or fascinated by the evolving landscape of consumer rights, this discussion offers valuable insights into how our legal system struggles to keep pace with technological change. Have you read the fine print in your service agreements? After hearing this, you might want to.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

While true crime has gained traction as a genre in the literary world, it's not often we see it applied to procurement. Yet, a fascinating and unsettling procurement fraud case has recently come to light within Intel Israel's operations. Every criminal investigation seeks to uncover means, motive, and opportunity, and this case checks all three boxes, with implications that go far beyond one company. Just a few weeks ago, a story broke that uncovered an alleged scheme in which a now-former employee, Natalia Avtsin, and a component supplier, Yefim Tsibolevsky from Energy Electronics 2000, teamed up to steal roughly 3 million Israeli shekels (NIS), or about $842,000 USD. Although the case is still ongoing and has yet to see its day in court, it poses a lot of questions for procurement teams across the globe. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers: How Avtsin and Tsibolevsky pulled off this alleged fraud The process loopholes and absent oversight that allowed them to get away with it for so long The many lessons procurement can take from this case regarding checks and balances, pattern detection, and technology use Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Tuesday Headlines: Iran's targeting the US largest military base in the middle east in Qatar, a Queensland mother accused of torturing her one-year-old for social media fame has had her case delayed, Aussies are spending big on 'extravagant and unnecessary medical procedures', Australia’s eSafety commissioner is urging the government to include YouTube in our world-first social media ban, and the final season of Netflix’s most successful series ever set to launch this week. Deep Dive: Deep in the middle of Australia sits the so-called “jewel in the crown” of our military alliance with the US: Pine Gap. The top secret joint defence facility is well positioned for powerful spying on the Middle East. But our Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will not say if it was used by the US in its “Operation Midnight Hammer” strikes on nuclear sites in Iran at the weekend - nor whether Australian authorities were given advance notice of the attack. In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling speaks with Greens Senator David Shoebridge about whether we're being dragged into a war and why Pine Gap is so valuable to the US but kept secret from the Australian public.

Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says, "I don't want to tell you what you can and cannot eat. I just want you to know what you're eating." Today's episode is about providing solutions to help you cut out the middleman and take control so you KNOW what you're feeding your family - and can support local, small family farms along the way. In this information-packed episode of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes Alexia Kulwiec, Executive Director of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, for a solution-focused conversation on how to legally source raw milk, pasture-raised meat, and nutrient-dense whole foods directly from local farmers. We're not just talking about what not to eat—this is your real-world roadmap to clean food access in a system that often seems stacked against us and our access to nutrient-dense foods from local farmers. From raw cheese loopholes and herdshares to custom meat processing, cottage food laws, and buying club tips, we explore how families can cut through red tape and bring real, nutrient-dense, ethically raised, and legally protected food to the table. Whether you've been making “egg deals in gas station parking lots” or just trying to figure out how to find a trustworthy source for raw milk, this episode is both empowering and practical. Alexia explains: Why it's so hard to legally access raw dairy and clean meat in many states How federal and state food laws are designed to favor industrial agriculture over local farms What legal loopholes consumers and small farms are using (herdshares, custom exempt meat, cottage food laws) The truth about organic certification (and why it's not the gold standard) What you need to know about raw cheese, pastured poultry, and produce exemptions Where to start if you're ready to vote with your dollar and support regenerative food systems You'll also hear actionable tips on: Navigating state-specific food laws Understanding the difference between “grass-fed” and “pasture-raised” How to talk to your farmer—and what questions to ask How to legally join or form a food buying club, private membership association, or herdshare This episode is packed with legal insight, food freedom advocacy, and practical strategies for any parent, health-seeker, or food rebel looking to build a better grocery cart—one local farm at a time.

Jay-Z, facing a lawsuit alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards after-party, is seeking dismissal based on timing and location discrepancies. His attorney, Alex Spiro, argues that the statute under which the accuser, identified as Jane Doe, is suing became effective in December 2000, three months after the alleged incident. Additionally, Spiro contends that the described location of the assault does not correspond to any venue within New York City, suggesting a geographical inconsistency that could undermine the lawsuit's validityThese defense strategies follow earlier legal maneuvers, including attempts to reveal the accuser's identity, which were criticized by Judge Analisa Torres as inappropriate and a waste of judicial resources. Both Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs, also named in the lawsuit, have denied the allegations. The case continues to unfold, with the court evaluating the merits of the defense's arguments concerning the statute's enactment date and the alleged assault's location.(commercial at 8:56)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jay-Z Tries To Get Rape Of Minor Case Dismissed Based On Two Key Factors
