In the Season 6 premier, the Wyoming Business Council sent out an email asking people to attend a watch party to "mobilize." Why does a state agency need to build support for "collective action."

In this episode of Pathways to Prevention, host Dave Closson spotlights a powerful youth-led global effort: the Youth Declaration on Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery.What began as a spark at a CND side event in Vienna grew into a global core youth group, a multi-country survey, and a declaration that centers one clear message: nothing about us without us.Dave is joined by youth leaders and organizers from across the world, including Cressida (World Federation Against Drugs), Sana, Fuhaira, and Muhammad (Pakistan Youth Organization). Together, they unpack how this declaration came to life, what they learned from youth in 60+ countries, and why meaningful youth participation must be treated as a design principle—not a box to tick.---------------If you are a youth leader or work with youth-serving organizations, this episode is your invitation to:Read the Youth Declaration and its full report to see where your current work already aligns with the six recommendations.Share your story: If you're already taking action that reflects the declaration—programs, policies, campaigns, or peer-led initiatives—send your activities and outcomes to info@wfad.se for possible inclusion in an upcoming global youth declaration web magazine.Create real seats at the table: In your organization, community, or network, ask where youth are currently informed versus where they are truly involved in decision-making.Resources MentionedYouth Declaration on Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery – full text and data reportWorld Federation Against Drugs (WFAD) – declaration partners and hosts of the global youth web magazinePakistan Youth Organization – a youth-focused organization that helped conceptualize and drive the declaration

Dr. Mark McClellan has served as a Member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But his experiences before, and accomplishments following these leadership roles at the highest levels of government health policy are equally important to his perspective on the healthcare ecosystem – especially during a time of rapid policy change.Dr. McClellan always intended on pursuing a medical degree and entered a joint Harvard-MIT program that took him in a slightly different direction. He ended up studying economics and the rising cost of healthcare at MIT. He ultimately earned a medical degree from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, a Ph.D. in economics from MIT, and a master's in public administration from Harvard's Kennedy School.Dr. McClellan began his career at the Treasury Department in the Clinton Administration, and returned to public service under the George W. Bush Administration where he led the FDA and CMS. Today, Dr. McClellan is the Robert J. Margolis, M.D., Professor of Business, Medicine and Policy at Duke University and the founding Director of the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy. His work centers on improving health care through policy and research, with a focus on payment reforms, quality, value, and biomedical innovation.With his expertise in medicine, economics and public policy, Dr. McClellan talked to Keith Figlioli in this episode of Healthcare is Hard to share his perspective on adapting to rapid change in the current healthcare landscape. Topics they discussed include:Misalignment of innovation and outcomes. While advancements in digital health are coming to market faster than ever before, Dr. McClellan says there's still a lack of technology truly centered on keeping patients healthy. He says traditional payment methods make it hard to support this type of innovation. For example, advancements in AI are helping physicians gather information for prior authorization requests, and ambient scribing saves time with note taking and administration. But these technologies essentially help providers see more fee-for-service patients or bill for more profitable services. He argues that more outcome-oriented payments are needed to advance technology-embedded care models. The evolution of value-based care. After Congress passed the Medicare Modernization Act in 2003 to establish Medicare Advantage, Dr. McClellan became administrator of CMS at the President's request to lead its implementation. With unique insight from leading some of the earliest VBC programs, he shared his thoughts on the speed of adoption and why it hasn't happened faster. He discussed how early MA models needed to be based on existing fee-for-service infrastructure, his surprise that not much has changed, and his optimism that it's finally starting to.Mobilizing private capital for public health. Private investment will be essential to support the significant changes required to improve healthcare – especially with uncertainties around future levels of government funding. Dr. McClellan explained how the Duke-Margolis Capital Impact Council (CIC) was launched to guide and improve the role of private investment in healthcare. He described how members of the council are developing and sharing practices for investors and their portfolio companies to track health value return on investment alongside financial ROI.To hear Dr. McClellan and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

Septembra beigās Latvijā risinājās sociālā akcija cilvēku ar invaliditāti atbalstam „Dažādo kurpju diena”. Par akcijas mērķiem un vai tos izdevies sasniegt, spriežam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot.  Interesējamies, kādas ir darba iespējas cilvēkiem ar kādiem autiskā spektra traucējumiem, kāds ir valsts sniegtais atbalsts, cik ļoti pašmāju uzņēmumi ir iekļaujoši un kas būtu uzlabojams?  Sarunājas invalīdu un viņu draugu apvienības "Apeirons" valdes priekšsēdētājs Ivars Balodis, "Reitan Conveniece Latvia" personāla departamenta direktore Ineta Vēze un SEB Bankas personāldaļas vadītāja Anita Segliņa. Pieredzē dalās Santa Beitāne. Viņa izveidojusi sociālo uzņēmumu "Mobilizing", kurā gan māca nedzirdīgus cilvēkus braukt ar automašīnu, gan cilvēkiem ar invaliditāti organizē ekskursijas. Viņa savu darbu raksturo īsi - tas ir mans sirdsdarbs. "Dažādo kurpju diena ir aicinājums ikvienam pievērst uzmanību cilvēku invaliditāti izaicinājumiem dzīvē un uzvilkt savādākas kurpes, iekāpt otra kurpēs, pastaigāties un mēģināt saprast, kā tas ir - būt savādākam, redzēt savādāk, sajust to, kā tas ir, kad uz tevi skatās," atklāj Ivars Balodis. "Droši vien slepenais mērķis ir tāds, ka mēs ne tikai mēģinām tās kurpes uzvilkt, bet mēģinām arī saprast kaut ko, izmainīt kaut ko un ar savu attieksmi parādīt to, ja mēs ļoti daudzus procesus nevaram izmainīt un ietekmēt, tad savu attieksmi mēs varam mainīt. Pamainot savu attieksmi, mēs varam izdarīt tā, lai cilvēki ar invaliditāti Latvijā justos labāk, piedāvāt kādas darba iespējas, piedāvāt viņiem būt kopā ar mums un pašiem būt neatkarīgiem, patstāvīgiem, brīviem." Viņš arī atzīst, ka šogad Dažādo kurpju dienā gājis interesanti un bijuši dažādi vērojumi. Jā, cilvēki bijuši atsaucīgi, apāvuši dažādas kurpes un publicējuši bildes sociālajos medijos, bet uz ielas cilvēki dažādās kurpēs nebija īpaši redzami.  "Mani kolēģi kolēģi devās ielās un ar šādām kurpēm brauca vilcienos, tramvajos un saņēma ļoti daudz nosodošu skatienu," atklāt Ivars Balodis. Tajā pašā laikā viņš uzteic kādu ēdināšanas uzņēmumu, kura reklāmu pamanījis, kas piedāvājis atlaidi tieši 27. septembrī, ja apmeklētājs būs dažādās kurpēs. "Latvijā ļoti pietrūkst pozitīvas kampaņas, kur mēs stāstām par cilvēkiem savādākā griezumā, savādākā skatījumā. Mums ir brīnišķīgas kampaņas, kur mēs vācam naudu pirms Ziemassvētkiem, Lieldienām, bet tās nevar būt vienīgās. Ja tās ir vienīgās, tad pamazām nosēžas zemapziņā, ka ģimenes ir bēdīgas, nabadzīgas, nevar nopirkt neko. Jābūt arī kampaņām, kur mēs redzam, ka cilvēki dzīvo brīnišķīgu dzīvi - viņi lasa, viņi priecājas, viņi dzer kafiju, viņi iet uz banku un tērē naudu kaut kur, viņi pērk drēbes, viņi ir sabiedrībā. Ja mēs pamainām savu domāšanu, arī ar saviem darbiem pastiprinām to visu, tad mēs tos cilvēkus ieraugām. Cik dažāda, krāsaina dzīve paliek!" analizē Ivars Balodis.

SummaryIn this episode of the Text Driven Podcast, Timothy Pigg and Carter Jurkovich discuss the importance of being a text-driven church that prioritizes personal evangelism over programmatic approaches. They explore the challenges faced by churches that focus too heavily on programs, emphasizing the need for a people-centered ministry that fosters genuine relationships and discipleship. The conversation highlights the significance of training church members to share the gospel personally, rather than relying solely on inviting others to church. Ultimately, the episode calls for a return to the biblical model of evangelism and a focus on serving people in the community.TakeawaysText Driven Ministries aims to bring doctrinally faithful resources to churches.The church should prioritize people over programs.Program fatigue is a real issue in modern churches.The essence of the church is its people, not its programs.Personal evangelism is crucial for church growth.Inviting someone to church is not the same as sharing the gospel.Training church members to share the gospel is essential.Programs should support, not replace, personal relationships.The goal of the church should be to serve people, not just run programs.Following Jesus' example means prioritizing personal connections in ministry.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Text Driven Ministries02:28 The Challenge of Program-Driven Churches06:48 People Over Programs: A New Approach10:36 The Importance of Personal Evangelism14:42 Mobilizing the Church for Gospel Sharing

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) normally reside in the bone marrow niche but can traffic across the bone marrow endothelium into the bloodstream to populate different niches. This process of HSC mobilization from the bone marrow to the blood, is an increasingly favored procedure to obtain HSCs for hematopoietic cell transplantation therapy. Though mobilization is robust in many donors due to years of refined protocols and drug combinations, the process remains difficult or contraindicated among substantial patient subgroups. Using the current standard of care, up to 30% of patients fail to mobilize HSCs and some patients cannot tolerate the current mobilization procedures. Today's guests will discuss their research using vascular endothelial growth factor, known as VEGF, as an alternative method of mobilization, the mechanisms underlying it, and the implications for improving patient outcomes.GuestsStephanie Smith-Berdan, MS, Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells, Department of Biomolecular, Engineering, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA. Camilla Forsberg, PhD, Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells, Department of Biomolecular Engineering, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA. HostJanet Rossant, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Reports and The Gairdner FoundationSupporting ContentPaper link: Vascular endothelial growth factor-induced vascular permeability results in drastic and reversible hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, Stem Cell ReportsAbout Stem Cell ReportsStem Cell Reports is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.

Jo welcomes activist and Siren Network co-founder Sam Schwartz for a conversation about what real political influence looks like in the new media landscape. They dig into how creators are moving audiences from passive news consumption to active organizing, why legacy outlets have lost their edge, and what it takes to build an independent platform that actually shapes discourse. Alongside the challenges of building new media power, Sam shares hard-won insight from years of fighting for common-sense gun reform—explaining why political will, not public consensus, is the biggest roadblock to change.

Every September, a wave of orange (this year) shirts sweep across the Northern Shenandoah Valley, signaling a day when the community comes together for a singular purpose: to give back. This is Day of Caring, an annual event organized by the United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley, and it's more than just a day of volunteerism—it's a celebration of community spirit, corporate partnership, and the power of collective action. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael sat down with Andy Gail, CEO of United Way NSV, and Beth Falu, Assistant Vice President of Fraud Operations at Navy Federal Credit Union and chair of Day of Caring, to discuss the origins, evolution, and impact of this remarkable event. Mobilizing a Movement Day of Caring is not just a local phenomenon; it's part of a global United Way tradition that mobilizes thousands of volunteers to support their communities. As Andy explains, the event's power lies in its scale: “It's great if you can volunteer two hours here, three hours there, but think about if you could get a thousand people in one day to volunteer—what that impact would be.” In the Northern Shenandoah Valley, that impact is visible across Winchester, Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Shenandoah, and Page counties, where nearly a thousand volunteers fan out to tackle projects for nonprofits, schools, and community organizations. Evolving Opportunities While Day of Caring has long been associated with hands-on projects like painting, landscaping, and building ramps, this year marks a significant evolution. Under Beth's leadership, the event has expanded to include administrative and professional services. “Our volunteers have so many skills,” Beth notes. “We want to evolve our volunteer opportunities to cater to all of our volunteer skill sets.” Now, teams can help with marketing, office organization, and even Excel spreadsheets, ensuring that every volunteer can contribute in a meaningful way. Corporate Champions and Community Partners The event's success is fueled by a diverse array of sponsors, from large corporations like First Bank and Navy Federal to local businesses and mom-and-pop shops. “There was every size business imaginable on that list,” Janet observes, highlighting the region's unique spirit of collaboration. These sponsors don't just write checks—they send teams of employees into the field, fostering camaraderie and a sense of purpose among staff. Beth shares stories of volunteers who travel from as far as Northern Virginia to participate, and Andy recalls his own experience as a nonprofit leader benefiting from Day of Caring before joining United Way. The event, he says, is a lifeline for organizations that lack the resources to complete essential projects. A Day of Celebration and Connection Day of Caring is as much about celebration as it is about service. The day begins with a lively kickoff event at Shenandoah University, complete with coffee, breakfast, music, and motivational words from community leaders. After a day of hard work, volunteers and their families gather at West Oaks Farm Market for an after-party, enjoying food, networking, and even sparklers to “spark change.” The event also coincides with the conclusion of the Community Baby Shower, a collaborative effort to collect supplies for new mothers in need. Donations are gathered at local First Bank branches and Marlow dealerships, then assembled into kits for distribution by Healthy Families, further amplifying the day's impact. Lasting Impact and Growing Momentum The ripple effects of Day of Caring extend far beyond a single day. Volunteers return to work energized and inspired, often bringing their families and colleagues into the fold for future events. Nonprofits receive much-needed support, and the community as a whole is strengthened by the connections forged through shared service. As Beth reflects, “It's so contagious… people just had such a great day. It was very impactful for them and they're just sharing the news.” Andy encourages nonprofits to continue submitting projects and invites anyone interested to visit the newly refreshed United Way NSV website for more information. In a world where it's easy to feel disconnected, Day of Caring stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together. Whether you're wielding a paintbrush, crunching numbers, or simply sharing a meal, every act of caring adds up to something extraordinary.

What if the biggest threat to Christian values in America isn't hostile politicians—but Christians who refuse to vote? Bunni Pounds drops a bombshell statistic that will shake you: Christians are registering and voting at exactly the same rates as the general population. That means roughly half of Bible-believing Americans are voluntarily sitting out the very process that determines who governs their communities. While faithful Christians stay home on election day, secular activists are showing up in droves to elect school board members who push gender ideology, city council members who restrict religious freedom, and county officials who shut down churches. We're literally handing over our nation to people whose worldview is diametrically opposed to Scripture—and then wondering why our culture is falling apart. Bunni's journey from homeschool mom to political consultant to mobilizing nearly a million Christians reveals the stunning power of engaged believers and the devastating consequences of Christian apathy.   Resources: https://www.bunnipounds.com/   https://christiansengaged.org/   https://www.americareadsthebible.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by Grand Canyon University and Classical Conversations Plus Undergraduate Program: Is your homeschooler ready for what's next?
