In today's episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher implements her own advice to “face the brutal facts” in education. As educational leaders in both K12 and higher education face a changing landscape, Dr. Pilcher explains that it's crucial for leaders to attend to the bottom line to provide what's best for students. Listen as she encourages the practice of facing the brutal facts and responding in positive ways by using scorecards and short cycles of improvement; having open conversations with other leaders; helping people understand where they've been, where they are now, how they got to where they are now; tracking progress; engaging in problem-solving discussions; and making decisions even when they are difficult. Recommended Resources:  Drive Student Achievement with Scorecards, Get Aligned: Strategic Plans, Scorecards, and Measures that Matter Follow Host Dr. Janet Pilcher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetpilcher/ 

The father of six-year-old Monica Sathege, who died after allegedly consuming snacks bought from a local spaza shop in Naledi, Soweto, in October 2024, says he is relying on the South African Police Service to bring closure to his family. Joseph Sathege was reacting to a damning report by the Public Protector, which found that Gauteng municipalities failed to implement adequate control measures to enforce food safety and hygiene regulations at spaza shops.

A native hawk in the Wairarapa has been confirmed as the second case of bird flu in New Zealand. The animal was sent to a wildlife hospital after suffering a head injury where the disease was found upon routine testing. Minister of Biosecurity Andrew Hoggard told Heather du Plessis-Allan that they are working with farmers in the region. "From an MPI perspective, we are touching base with all, I think there's about 13, egg producers or poultry producers in the Wairarapa. So, teams getting in contact with all of them just to check, are they confident in their biosecurity measures they've got?" LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The European Commission has mandated binding antitrust measures that require Google to grant access to essential Android system features for competing AI assistants and to share its extensive search data with rival search engines.This significant ruling, implemented under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) of the European Union, seeks to create a more equitable environment and prevent Google from exploiting its dominant Android ecosystem to monopolize the swiftly advancing artificial intelligence industry.Google is obligated to provide access to 11 specific system-level features for competing artificial intelligence models, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude.Competing AI agents must be permitted to achieve the same level of system integration as Google's own Gemini, which includes enabling comprehensive voice activation and the ability to perform background tasks, such as making restaurant reservations through third-party applications.Additionally, to dismantle Google's near-monopoly on data, the company is required to start sharing anonymized search data with qualifying rival search engines by January 2027.Noncompliance with these binding directives could lead to substantial fines of up to 10% of Alphabet's global annual revenue.In the meantime, Kent Walker, Google's President of Global Affairs, has strongly criticized the ruling. He expressed that compelling the company to disclose search metrics to "unfamiliar companies" poses significant privacy risks, data protection concerns, and cybersecurity threats to European citizens.EU Competition Commissioner Teresa Ribera defended the action, emphasizing that society is experiencing a significant digital transformation that necessitates robust legal protections for fairness and consumer choice.The vigorous implementation of the Digital Markets Act continues to provoke criticism from U.S. political leaders, who contend that European regulators are unjustly targeting and undermining American technology giants.

The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States. Its mandate is to promote the effective operation of the U.S. economy. Sometimes such high-flying agencies or policy influencing organizations can feel detached from the day-to-day experiences that make up the High Country economy. However, the Federal Reserve uses a network of economists and data analysts to ensure the voice of Main Street is being heard and helping inform Federal policy and direction.On this week's Mind Your Business, we visit with Bethany Greene, Regional Economist for the Charllotte Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Bethany monitors regional economic trends through data analysis and engagements with the business community in North and South Carolina. We'll discuss the role of the Fed, and how they extract data from locations across the region in a manner that ultimately shows up in policy shaping discussions. We'll also talk about the recent transition of Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, what Western North Carolina can expect, economically speaking, as we move further away from the physical impacts of Hurricane Helene, and what's on the horizon in terms of economy shaping influences.Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Nigerian House of Representatives has officially called on the Federal Government to impose strong diplomatic measures against South Africa over a fresh wave of escalating xenophobic attacks. The legislative resolution followed the unanimous adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Rep. Yusuf Gagdi (APC, Plateau). The motion addressed the recurring violence, extrajudicial killings, and systemic persecution targeting Nigerians and other African nationals legally residing in South Africa. The House directed the Federal Government to immediately summon South Africa's High Commissioner to Nigeria. The envoy must provide a comprehensive explanation regarding the recent killings of Nigerian citizens and clarify Pretoria's official position on protecting foreign nationals.While lawmakers demanded a tough stance, the House rejected proposals to completely suspend or cut diplomatic ties with Pretoria. Lawmakers opted instead to prioritize intensive diplomatic pressure, bilateral reviews, and international legal mechanisms. The Nigerian  Parliament called for an independent, transparent, and internationally monitored investigation into the latest extrajudicial killings. Also  The House urged the government to engage the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to reinforce safety frameworks for migrants across the continent. In addition Lawmakers demanded immediate enhancements to consular services, emergency evacuation protocols, legal support, and adequate compensation for victims whose businesses and properties were looted or destroyed.The legislative uproar was triggered by the recent killings of two Nigerian nationals in South Africa, one of whom reportedly died while under South African police custody.Simultaneously, Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, expressed significant discontent regarding South Africa's indifferent reaction to the looting of Nigerian enterprises and the mistreatment of children in educational institutions.In light of the urgent threat, President Bola Tinubu has sanctioned emergency evacuation flights. The fourth Air Peace flight successfully brought back 282 Nigerians, which included 12 infants, to Lagos.

It's hoped newly planned security measures for Shannon Airport can free up Garda availability across Clare. The Clare base received €1.9m in funding earlier this year, with much of this due to go towards the construction of an Airfield Security Perimeter fence. There have been five alleged incursions by activists since March 2024 and the Airport is now also planning to install high security anti-ram barriers to prevent vehicles from entering. Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman says the incidents have affected Garda resources in the past.

What if the biggest key to better leadership is not focusing on the lagging measures, but learning how to measure what truly matters? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Dave Schmittou to talk about leadership, priority management, and the difference between lead measures and lagging measures. Dave shares practical insight from his work with schools, districts, and organizations, and explains why leaders must clarify the results they want before they can effectively guide others. Together, they explore why so many leaders get stuck managing process instead of outcomes, how overcontrolling can create dependence, and what it looks like to build independence and interdependence in staff and students. Dave also shares a powerful story about getting out of the way, the value of focusing on lead measures, and how leaders can create cultures centered on real growth and measurable progress. About Dave Schmittou: As an educator for more than two decades, Dave has earned a reputation for being a disruptor of the status quo, an innovator, and a change agent. Having served as a classroom teacher, school-based administrator, central office director, and professor of Educational Leadership, he often uses real-life stories and examples of his own life and career to describe why and how we need to confront “the way we have always done it.” He is now the Director of Leadership and Development with the Teach Better Team where he speaks, consults, and partners with districts around the country. He has written multiple books, including “It's Like Riding a Bike: How to make learning last a lifetime”, “Bold Humility”, “Making Assessment Work for Educators Who Hate Data but Love Kids”, and “Poking the Bear”.

Drawing on their extensive experience in education, Charle Peck and Joshua Stamper challenge outdated disciplinary practices and offer a clear, trauma-informed framework that empowers educators to interpret student behavior as a form of communication. Through three core tenets—Consider the Environment, Explore the Root Causes of Behavior, and Respond with Intentionality—this book equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster positive behavior, build stronger relationships, and cultivate a more supportive school climate. Packed with real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and insights into the lasting effects of childhood trauma, The Language of Behavior provides school leaders with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change. It offers a roadmap to reduce behavior issues, re-engage students and staff, and establish a culture of accountability and empathy. This book is not just a reference—it's a call to lead with vision and transform how we approach discipline, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Melanye “Dr. Mac.” Maclin joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the serious health risks associated with hair relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic braids—particularly among Black women. Drawing from over 25 years of research and patient experience, she explains how chemicals used in these products absorb through the scalp, disrupt hormones, and significantly increase the risks of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, early puberty, fibroids, and infertility. The conversation also highlights systemic resistance from the beauty industry, government agencies, and even consumers themselves—primarily due to financial incentives and lack of awareness. Dr. Mac advocates for safer hair practices, increased education, and protective measures to reduce exposure. She also discusses her pioneering internal hair‑health supplements, Bella Nutri, for women (2004) and men (2008), and how she helped introduce the U.S. market to nutritional hair support long before it was mainstream. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: 1. Educate listeners about the hidden health dangers …of chemical hair treatments including relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic hair containing benzene. 2. Advocate for informed hair‑care decisions Dr. Mac wants women—especially Black women—to understand how beauty practices impact long‑term health. 3. Encourage the beauty industry to adopt safety protocols Such as scalp protection, warning labels, and honest communication about risks. 4. Highlight Dr. Mac’s work and products Including her Bella Nutri supplements and educational platforms (Ask Dr. Mac). 5. Empower parents to protect children By avoiding chemical treatments on young girls whose bodies are especially vulnerable. Key Takeaways 1. Chemical relaxers and permanent hair dyes are strongly linked to increased cancer risks. Permanent dyes raise the risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Black women exhibit a 45% increased risk of breast cancer when using permanent dyes. Combining dyes with relaxers significantly compounds the danger. 2. The danger comes from chemical absorption into the scalp. Relaxer chemicals include sodium, calcium, guanine, and lithium hydroxide. These chemicals burn through the scalp, entering the bloodstream and disrupting hormones, leading to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, and cancer. 3. Synthetic braiding hair contains benzene—a carcinogen. Benzene exposure affects both the stylist and the client. Risks include lung cancer and leukemia. 4. The beauty industry resists change because of profit. Salons rarely display warnings because “it affects business.” The relaxer–damage→hair‑loss→extensions cycle creates a lucrative revenue loop. 5. Children are especially vulnerable to chemical exposure. Relaxers on children under 10 can cause: early puberty fibroids infertility early hysterectomies increased cancer risk Dr. Mac advises never relaxing a child’s hair, but if done, the product must stay on no more than 5–10 minutes with complete scalp protection. 6. Scalp protection is essential for anyone still using relaxers. Use petroleum jelly over the entire scalp, not just the hairline. This reduces chemical absorption during both application and rinsing. 7. Dr. Mac pioneered the U.S. hair‑supplement industry. Developed Bella Nutri after research with a Finnish company (Scalp). Initially dismissed as a “witch doctor,” but now the hair‑supplement market is mainstream. 8. She refuses to participate in relaxer‑related lawsuits. Because she has warned people for 20+ years, she cannot ethically testify for those who ignored repeated warnings. Notable Quotes On the impact of chemicals: “The chemicals burn through the scalp… getting into the main bloodstream and causing hormone disruption.” On the increased cancer risk: “African‑Americans have a more than 45% increased risk when we use permanent hair dyes.” On synthetic braids: “As long as that synthetic hair is on her head, she is breathing in benzene.” On industry pushback: “People are about the green‑eyed devil called money.” On relaxing children’s hair: “Hopefully a mother doesn’t take her child to get a relaxer.” “Hair chemicals can lead to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, even hysterectomies before age 40.” On the vicious cycle of damage and profit: “It’s a 360‑degree money‑making cycle.” On caring more than her patients: “I feel like I’m caring more about someone’s health than they are caring about their own.” On pioneering supplements: “Hair and skin are internal organs—they manifest externally.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets explains our differentiated view of a potential benign outlook for inflation, despite the recent acceleration.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley.Today, why is everything still so expensive?It's Thursday, June 11th at 2pm in London.The Federal Reserve has a so-called dual mandate, tasked with keeping the labor market healthy and prices stable. It is currently having much more success with the former than the latter.Let's start with that good news.Last Friday saw solid data from the U.S. jobs market, reducing some of the fears from earlier this year that artificial intelligence and other factors would lead companies to make do with fewer workers. The U.S. unemployment rate sits at just 4.3 percent, a historically low level. Measures like initial jobless claims indicate no large uptick in firings.Yet the success within the U.S. labor market is mirrored by struggles with inflation. The Fed tries to keep inflation, the annual increase in a broad set of prices, to about 2 percent per year. Their preferred measure of these prices, so-called PCE inflation, well, it's been materially above this target over the last three months, six months, twelve months, and indeed, the last five years.As for another key measure of inflation that was reported yesterday, CPI, overall prices increased more than 4 percent. While that was close to expectations, it still represents prices that are rising much faster than the Fed would prefer.This leads to a dilemma. One diagnosis of what's going on is that elevated inflation is a sign that conditions are simply too loose and too accommodative at these levels of interest rates. Corporate capital expenditure and merger activity is surging, regulation is being eased, and the U.S. government is spending a lot more than it's taking in. All of these are consistent with a hot economic cycle, which in the past would've warranted higher interest rates to bring the economy back down to a more sustainable speed.But it might not be that simple.The surging spend that we're seeing on AI data centers feels pretty unique and almost insensitive to other dynamics. Indeed, we've seen a 700 percent increase in the price of memory over the last year. Yet it's done little to slow demand for this construction as the large, well-capitalized companies behind the AI buildout see it as so essential to their future success.U.S. consumers are also still spending, boosted perhaps by record levels of household wealth. As just one example of this, my colleagues in Equity Research note that the price of airline tickets has gone up 25 percent over the last year, yet there's been no sign of people flying less.Now, the positive story would be that while there are some high-profile categories like computer memory or airfare that are seeing these large price increases, the broader inflation picture is actually set to get better as the year goes on, and costs for things like housing and tariff-impacted goods moderate. That is our view at Morgan Stanley, where our economists think that inflation will ultimately be lower over the next twelve months – and lower than many in the market expect.But there's definitely uncertainty.This month, June, is one where central banks may appear to have a renewed commitment towards inflationary pressures; with the ECB hiking rates today and our expectation that the Bank of Japan will hike rates next week, while the Fed will remove their easing bias. And our more benign economic base case for inflation does assume that oil will start flowing through the Strait of Hormuz pretty soon. It may not, and that could also lead to more sustained inflationary pressure.The big story on inflation has not gone away. Our assumption that pressures could ease in the second half of the year is a key and differentiated input to our forecast for lower bond yields and higher stock prices in 12 months' time. But it does rely on a change of the status quo.As of now, inflation is still too high.Thank you, as always, for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen. And also, tell a friend or colleague about us today.

On the heals of Studer Education's 2026 Destination High Performance Higher Education Conference, Dr. Janet Pilcher reflects on the event and her takeaways. She calls out an idea shared by Dr. Brendan Kelly, President of Eastern Michigan University: the idea that education institutions serve and support students best when they align "what they do" with what students want and need --  not what the institution wants and needs. Listen as Dr. Pilcher shares a way to identify what students want and need and how education institutions can align what they do to student wants and needs with the intention of enhancing the student experience.Recommended Resources:   Drive Student Achievement with Scorecards, Get Aligned: Strategic Plans, Scorecards, and Measures that Matter Follow Host Dr. Janet Pilcher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetpilcher/ 

Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom First, residents of North Seattle along Aurora Avenue are on edge, after a recent surge of gun violence in a neighborhood that has been a longtime hotspot for human trafficking. City officials say they’re working urgently to close streets and assign police patrols Next, the latest from the paper mill disaster in Longview, where earlier this week, the names were released of the 11 people who died. The scope of the tragedy has sparked concerns about the lasting impact on this Southwest Washington town. Next, students and families in Bothell have been pushing back against a decision to not renew the contract of a popular school resource officer. And finally, typically when you spot a great blue heron in western Washington, you see one flying or fishing alone. In Redmond a huge group of herons have picked a place to nest - in an unusual spot.

Dr. Rick Doblin (founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science) returns to Mayim Bialik's Breakdown for one of the most controversial and eye-opening conversations on psychedelics we've had yet.From the shocking experiment where scientists gave MDMA to an octopus, to why ibogaine may be the most powerful AND dangerous psychedelic ever studied, this episode explores the future of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, addiction recovery, policy reform, and human consciousness itself.We break down Trump's new executive order accelerating psychedelic research and what it could mean for the future legalization of psychedelic-assisted therapy in America. Dr. Doblin explains why veterans suffering from PTSD and disabilities have become central to bipartisan support for psychedelics, and why this issue is now reshaping politics on both sides of the aisle.We also dive deep into ibogaine: its mysterious origins, its ability to help reset opioid addiction, its connection to ancestral memory and intergenerational trauma, why it carries serious risks, and why Dr. Doblin still believes its benefits may outweigh the dangers. He also shares his own profound ibogaine experience that helped him confront perfectionism and his fear of death.Dr. Doblin discusses:- How psychedelics help people integrate trauma- Why psychedelics are generally considered non-addictive- Difference between recreational vs therapeutic psychedelic use- Why psychedelic treatment should be customized to each patient- Importance of integration, peer support, and paying attention to dreams after treatment- Measures of success in MDMA-assisted couples therapy- Origins of the opioid epidemic- "Psychedelic churches": How organizations are openly operating under the umbrella of religion- Capitalism vs democratizing the benefits of psychedelic medicine- How a better psychedelic therapy model could be built- Why transparency is critical for science-backed drug policy reform- When psychedelics may realistically enter the open market- Dr. Doblin's long-term vision for a psychedelic-informed publicAs psychedelic research rapidly expands worldwide, this conversation explores the science, politics, risks, ethics, and revolutionary potential behind one of the fastest-growing movements in mental health and medicine!DISCLAIMER: MBB is not providing medical or legal advice. Listeners should speak to their doctor before engaging in any course of psychedelic protocols.

Do I, intrinsically matter? Do you? Based on...what? There is almost a saturation of information and ideas on what purpose is and having purpose in your life. But if you dig down, I find purpose to primarily be a pursuit to...matter. Do we matter just because we exist? Many religions say so, but I generally find the religious scrambling to prove they matter in the same ways everyone else is. So does that testify that we have to do something to matter? This is the episode. I sat down with renowned philosopher and intellectual, Rebecca Goldstein. Rebecca is an award-winning philosopher and writer. She is the author of ten books of acclaimed fiction and non-fiction. She holds a Ph.D. in philosophy of science from Princeton University and has taught at Yale, Columbia, NYU, Dartmouth, and Harvard. In 2015, she was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Obama. In many ways however, from all of Rebecca's philosophical pursuits, the concept of mattering is her culmination of wisdom. Her new book is called, The Mattering Instinct: How Our Deepest Longing Drives Us and Divides Us. In this conversation we dive straight into how we perceive mattering, what we generally do to matter, and what actually results in feelings of mattering. We discuss the cultural and relational conflicts we have around what and who we think matters most. Rebecca then identifies four psychological types based on how people pursue mattering, which in itself begs the question: We generally pursue proving that we matter. Belying we think mattering is earned. I found the conversation very revealing and bringing me to consider my core motives for my life.

Evan Ellis reports that Bolivia faces nationwide protests and blockades over austerity measures and fuel shortages. President Rodrigo Paz attempts reconciliation, but former President Evo Morales is accused of destabilizing the government to avoid child trafficking prosecution. While La Paz faces resource shortages, the eastern lowlands remain calm, highlighting a deep regional and political divide. (5/16)1950
