 Want a clear read on 2025 Hiring Trends from someone who's placed talent nationwide for 20+ years? Frontline Source Group CEO Bill Kasko joins Jake & Gino to unpack the real shifts behind AI, return-to-office, and why employers reclaimed leverage since late 2024.We break down how the market flipped post-September 2024 and what that means for offers, counteroffers, and retention. Bill explains why workforce participation, aging demographics, and the gig economy reshaped recruiting—and how AI is speeding up that evolution without replacing the “human touch.” You'll learn how companies are cutting costs via tech (think VOIP vs. receptionists), why average tenure keeps shrinking, and how 2025 Hiring Trends favor organizations with tight communication, culture, and training—whether remote, hybrid, or in-office.

What happens when we give students meaningful choices in their learning? In this episode, Sharona and Boz dive deep into the role of student choice, autonomy, and agency in both K–12 and higher education classrooms.They start with a simple question: if nearly every school and district mission statement includes “lifelong learners,” how do our grading practices actually support—or undermine—that goal? From there, they explore how alternative grading practices can not only give students more options but also build genuine agency that empowers learners to set goals, take action, and connect their education to their lives. Key Topics Covered:The difference between choice, autonomy, and agency—and why it matters.Real classroom examples, from multiple-choice homework sets to open-ended calculus projects.Research highlights, including a Science Advances study on how giving students control over attendance and homework increased their engagement and persistence.Why students often choose harder work (and stick with it!) when the choice is theirs.How alternative grading systems like Triple P (Preparation, Participation, Practice), contract grading, and ungrading create space for authentic student agency.The role of AI and efficient tools in helping instructors offer tailored pathways without burning out.Practical strategies for weaving agency directly into learning outcomes.Takeaway:Student choice alone isn't enough. To truly prepare learners for life beyond the classroom, we need to design systems that move from choice → autonomy → agency, and grading reform is a powerful way to get there.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

Gestion des déchets, manque d'infrastructures d'assainissement, d'accès à l'eau, inondations récurrentes, îlot de chaleur... Les villes du continent africain sont confrontées à des problèmes récurrents qui sont amenés à se multiplier alors que le rythme de l'urbanisation en Afrique est le plus rapide au monde. Selon les prévisions, le nombre d'urbains devrait doubler d'ici 2050 en Afrique pour passer à 1,4 milliard. À cette hausse de population difficile à absorber pour les villes, s'ajoutent la prise en compte des pratiques informelles, des spécificités locales, ou encore le manque de moyens. Dans ces conditions, la mise en place de projets d'infrastructures et d'aménagements pour répondre aux besoins de la population peut relever du casse-tête pour les pouvoirs publics. Les habitants ont parfois l'impression de ne pas être écoutés et considérés. Comment mettre en œuvre de nouveaux équipements qui prennent en compte les vrais besoins et les modes de vie des usagers ? Sous quelle forme intégrer les habitants aux projets de leur ville ?   Avec : • Audrey Guiral Naepels, urbaniste, responsable de la division Développement urbain, Aménagement et Logement de l'AFD (Agence Française de Développement) • Charlemagne Yankoty, maire de la commune de Porto Novo au Bénin   • Rina Andriambololomanana , cheffe de projet «pépinière urbaine» d'Antananarivo, au Gret (ONG internationale de développement social et solidaire) à Madagascar.   En fin d'émission, un reportage au Tchad de Raphaëlle Constant.

Le président vénézuélien, Nicolas Maduro, est sur le point de décréter «l'état de commotion extérieure», c'est-à-dire l'état d'urgence. Le décret entrera en vigueur si le pays «est agressé militairement par l'empire américain», a-t-il expliqué ce lundi, à la télévision publique. Les États-Unis ont déployé des navires de guerre dans les Caraïbes et ont bombardé plusieurs bateaux qui transportaient de la drogue, selon eux. Si l'état d'urgence est instauré, Nicolas Maduro aurait des pouvoirs spéciaux, ce qui suscite des inquiétudes au Venezuela. El Nacional se fait l'écho des craintes de juristes et de membres de l'opposition pour qui ce décret «pourrait servir à restreindre les libertés publiques, augmenter la censure des médias et justifier un rôle plus important de l'armée dans la vie politique et sociale.» L'état d'urgence d'une durée de 90 jours renouvelables, permet de concentrer le pouvoir entre les mains de l'exécutif et «de limiter les contre-pouvoirs institutionnels au nom de la protection de la nation», explique le journal. Au-delà des conséquences concrètes dans la vie des Vénézuéliens, ce décret aura des implications géopolitiques, analyse El Nacional. Il pourrait «augmenter les tensions avec Washington et aboutir à de nouvelles sanctions» tandis qu'il «renforcerait l'alliance entre Caracas et (...) la Russie, la Chine et l'Iran.»   Les États-Unis veulent faire tomber Nicolas Maduro C'est qu'affirme le New York Times  qui cite des responsables américains. Une «stratégie plus agressive», une «vaste campagne qui intensifierait la pression militaire pour tenter de le forcer à partir» est en préparation, affirment ces sources anonymes. «L'armée américaine a planifié des opérations militaires potentielles ciblant des suspects de trafic de drogue au Venezuela même, comme prochaine phase, bien que la Maison Blanche n'ait pas encore approuvé une telle mesure», détaille le New York Times. Le journal fait également état de discussions entre l'administration Trump et «deux figures majeures de l'opposition» qui préparent l'après-Maduro. Aux manettes de cette offensive, il y a Marco Rubio, soutenu notamment par le directeur de la CIA. Marco Rubio, fils d'immigrés cubains, «estime que le départ de Nicolas Maduro affaiblirait le gouvernement communiste de Cuba, l'un des proches alliés du Venezuela». L'ancien sénateur de Floride lorgne aussi sur les électeurs d'origine cubaine et vénézuélienne dans cet État.   Un mort dans des manifestations en Équateur En Équateur aussi, l'état d'urgence a été décrété dans 8 provinces alors que les manifestations contre la hausse du prix du diesel se poursuivent. Des manifestations qui se déroulent dans la violence. Un artisan de 46 ans, père de deux enfants, est mort dimanche (28 septembre 2025). Il a été tué par balles par l'armée à Cotacachi, à 100 km au nord de Quito, selon l'Alliance pour les droits de l'homme en Équateur. Les négociations avec le gouvernement sont au point mort. Chacun campe sur ses positions, relève La Hora. «Comment peut-on dialoguer après un assassinat ?», interroge le leader de la Confédération des nationalités indigènes d'Équateur qui voit dans le mort de cet homme de 46 ans un «crime d'État» et menace de mener un mouvement aussi dur qu'en 2019 et 2022. À l'époque, les gouvernements avaient dû faire marche arrière. Pas question, répète Daniel Noboa. «Je préfère mourir plutôt que de céder», a affirmé le président équatorien, souligne le journal. Hier, alors que le véhicule dans lequel il se rendait à Imbabura a été bloqué par des manifestants, il a redit qu'il ne lâcherait pas.   Comment sortir de la crise ? Pour La Hora, la seule solution, c'est l'intervention d'une tierce partie neutre. Dans les colonnes du journal, l'avocate Mildred Molineros, spécialiste de la gestion des conflits, estime que cela pourrait être un organisme international ou l'Église catholique. Et que cette tierce personne doit offrir ses services et ne pas attendre d'être sollicitée par le gouvernement ou les représentants des populations indigènes. À partir du moment où il y a déjà eu un mort, il y a urgence, insiste l'avocate. Un avis partagé par Ruth Hidalgo, responsable de l'ONG Corporation et Participation citoyenne qui explique à La Hora que le risque désormais, c'est «une escalade dans le conflit avec une radicalisation des [manifestants], un ralentissement de l'économie, une pénurie d'aliments et l'augmentation progressive du recours à la force» de la part des policiers et des militaires.   Haïti : un nouvelle force anti-gangs ? Le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU doit se prononcer ce mardi soir (30 septembre 2025) sur la transformation de la mission multinationale de soutien à la police haïtienne en une force anti-gangs plus robuste pour tenter de brider la violence qui ravage le pays. En Haïti, cela suscite du scepticisme dans certains secteurs de la population, explique Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse. «Certains pensent qu'il faut surtout renforcer les forces de l'ordre en leur donnant davantage d'effectifs et d'équipements. C'est la seule manière que le résultat soit durable», détaille le journaliste.   Des inondations dans la moitié du pays «Depuis jeudi, de fortes pluies provoquent des inondations dans 30 communes d'Haïti», raconte Gotson Pierre. «Plus de la moitié du pays est touchée». À certains endroits, la situation est catastrophique. Une personne est morte. Les habitants appellent au secours le gouvernement, mais «l'acheminement de l'aide va être compliqué car de nombreuses routes sont coupées par les gangs», explique le directeur d'Alterpresse.   Rencontre avec Atxu Marimã, membre du peuple Hi-Merimã Atxu Marima appartient au peuple amérindien Hi-Marimã et lui qui enfant, vivait isolé dans la forêt amazonienne, raconte son histoire dans un livre : comment il a dû s'adapter à la civilisation et comment depuis, il lutte pour la protection des peuples autochtones du Brésil qui continuent de vivre volontairement loin de tout et de tous, sans aucun contact avec le monde extérieur. Achim Lippold l'a rencontré lors de son passage à Paris.   Le journal de la 1ère L'avenir de la compagnie aérienne de Saint Martin, Air Antilles, en suspens. Sa licence d'exploitation s'arrête ce lundi et il lui manque 10 millions d'euros.

Krysta Jones, founder of The High Country Girls and leader of The Highly Connected, shares the real-world playbook for building cannabis brands that endure. From her organic start in Colorado to expanding across the U.S., Krysta explains how authentic community and a sharp focus on niche can beat broad, hype-driven marketing. Learn how to cultivate a tribe of rabid fans, leverage events and grassroots strategies, and build a personal brand that delivers a consistent customer experience. The conversation covers participation over pursuit, running events with intentional follow-through, and measuring success through data, CRM, and post-event engagement. Krysta breaks down the unit economics of events, budgeting guidance (a starting point of five to ten thousand dollars monthly in marketing), and how to scale without diluting impact. She also explains how she collaborates with mom-and-pop brands, public companies, and investors, and how The Highly Connected helps pair the right partners for long-term value. If you're a cannabis brand, retailer, or marketer aiming to grow sustainably, this episode offers a practical framework for community-building, profitable partnerships, and lasting growth.Thanks to your support, we've been nominated for the Emjays for Content Creator of the Year!

Competition may sound like it sharpens us, but in practice it creates waste, weakens innovation, and leaves most of us struggling while a tiny fraction benefits. Cooperation, on the other hand, unlocks speed, quality, and respect for people. In this episode, Jason shares: A powerful example of how rivalry once stopped firefighters from saving lives. Why Asian manufacturers thrive on total participation while U.S. industries stall. How CPM schedules and competitive contracts reinforce the wrong behaviors. The overlooked “ninth waste” in construction: competition itself. Personal stories of being punished for helping others and why that mindset is broken.

Democracy thrives when citizens participate, yet America faces a troubling reality: even in presidential elections, only 65% of eligible voters cast ballots, with participation plummeting in local and primary elections. This democratic deficit has serious consequences, especially for women and historically marginalized communities who continue to face systemic barriers to political participation.At the heart of this problem lies a structural issue: closed primary systems that restrict voting to registered party members. These closed primaries shrink the voter pool, fuel polarization, and produce candidates who cater to partisan extremes rather than representing the broader population. The result? Elected officials less willing to compromise and increasingly dysfunctional governance.In this compelling conversation, Margaret Kobos, founder of Oklahoma United, and political consultant Sarah Blaney explore how open primaries could transform our democratic landscape. They make a powerful case for State Question 836, which would implement an open primary system in Oklahoma where all candidates appear on a single ballot accessible to every voter. The top two finishers would advance to the general election, ensuring meaningful choice in November.The statistics are striking: Oklahoma has ranked last in voter turnout nationally, with only 51% of voters registered as Republican despite complete Republican control of state government. With 80-90% of election decisions effectively made during primary elections, the current system silences independent voters and moderates from both parties. This directly correlates with Oklahoma's poor rankings in education, women's quality of life, and other critical metrics.What makes this reform particularly powerful is its simplicity and familiarity, it mirrors the system already used successfully in Oklahoma's municipal elections. By expanding this model to all elections, voters would gain real choice while elected officials would become accountable to the entire electorate, not just partisan extremes.Ready to support democratic reform?

Clinical research is critical to the development of life saving treatments. And ACCC has long supported equitable access to clinical trials, including efforts to ensure that these trials reflect the diversity of the populations they serve. ACCC has made the Just ASK™ Training Program and Site Self-Assessment available free-of-charge to help research sites address barriers to participation in cancer clinical trials among racial and ethnic populations. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ facilities a candid conversation with Glyniss Redman, who received treatment at Gibbs Cancer Center and Research Institute for multiple myeloma, and 2 members of her cancer treatment team: clinical research coordinator Audrianna Carrington and oncologist hematologist Dr. Tondre Buck, about overcoming barriers, ensuring shared decision-making, and improving the inclusion of historically underrepresented groups in clinical trials.   “If you look at cancers in general, treatments have gotten better over the years in almost every category, and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for clinical trials.” – Tondre Buck, MD   “We're playing the long game here. Some of the information or this research may not be about me. This is about our future generation…so this is a legacy game for me…This is what I'm doing with my [one] wild and precious life. I want to be here as long as I possibly can, but I also want my offspring: my children, my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren to be here as well and [to] have a better experience as far as health care and cancer.” – Glyniss Redman   “We do have to talk about past unethical experimentation and research in order for us to better prepare how we're going to go forward…[transportation] is one barrier that we are tackling. You know, we don't want to put that stress on the patients who have to choose between gas, their physician visit, their food, or their medicine for the day. So that is a huge barrier, and you really want that population to be represented on the trial, because rural populations tend to have higher cancer rates.” – Audrianna Carrington   Tondre Buck, MD Oncologist Hematologist Gibbs Cancer Center and Research Institute Spartanburg, SC   Audrianna Carrington Clinical Research Coordinator Gibbs Cancer Center and Research Institute Spartanburg, SC   Glyniss Redman Poet and Patient with Multiple Myeloma   Resources:   The Just ASK™ Training Program, Site Self-Assessment, and Training Facilitation Guide   ACORI Call to Action Summit   Clinical Research Terms Glossary   Increasing Clinical Trial Accrual Through the Implementation of a Clinical Trials Navigator   Gibbs Cancer Center and Research Institute   Cancer Moonshot Biobank   National Estimates of the Participation of Patients With Cancer in Clinical Research Studies Based on Commission on Cancer Accreditation Data   TalkAboutTrials.com

La campagne pour le référendum constitutionnel en Guinée s'achève jeudi 18 septembre, à 23h59. « À partir de cette date, relève Ledjely à Conakry, toute activité de propagande est strictement interdite sur l'ensemble du territoire national : meetings, caravanes, affichages, communications audiovisuelles ou numériques, ainsi que tout signe extérieur de soutien ou d'opposition au projet de Constitution. (…) La Direction générale des élections (DGE), réaffirme son engagement à organiser un scrutin "transparent, inclusif et crédible", et appelle l'ensemble des acteurs et citoyens guinéens à contribuer à la réussite de ce rendez-vous électoral historique. » Appel au boycott Le principal opposant Cellou Dalein Diallo, dit « non » : « Depuis son exil, rapporte Afrik.com, l'ancien Premier ministre estime que ce scrutin n'est rien d'autre qu'un "paravent constitutionnel" destiné à prolonger le règne du général Mamadi Doumbouya. (…) Le leader de l'Union des Forces démocratiques de Guinée demande donc à ses militants et sympathisants de rester chez eux dimanche. "Même si vous votez non, votre vote sera compté comme un oui", martèle-t-il, dénonçant une "mascarade" et un "parjure" politique. Son mot d'ordre : ne pas cautionner par la participation un scrutin qu'il juge illégitime. » Pour sa part, rapporte encore Afrik.com, « face aux critiques, le gouvernement reste droit dans ses bottes. Son porte-parole, Ousmane Gaoual Diallo, assure que le référendum ouvre la voie au retour à la normalité constitutionnelle. À ses yeux, l'opposant n'apporte aucune alternative crédible au peuple guinéen. Le bras de fer reste donc entier, pointe le site panafricain. Entre un pouvoir déterminé à valider sa nouvelle constitution et un opposant qui mise sur le boycott pour délégitimer le scrutin, les électeurs guinéens devront trancher dimanche… en choisissant d'aller voter ou de rester chez eux. » « Désert démocratique » Alors quel impact aura cet appel au boycott ? Quelle participation dimanche à ce référendum constitutionnel ? Aujourd'hui, au Burkina Faso voisin, s'interroge : « la voix de l'opposant qui retentit dans le silence ambiant des anti-nouvelle constitution, a le mérite d'être constante, déterminée, mais sera-t-elle entendue et surtout efficace ? Ne revient-on pas au même résultat, sauf peut-être à épargner aux uns et aux autres de se fatiguer pour se rendre dans les bureaux de vote ? (…) Si le "oui" l'emporte, ce qui devrait être le cas quoi qu'on dise, ce sera déjà le premier marchepied vers une élection du général-président Mamadi Doumbouya dont la candidature, à moins d'un cataclysme politique, ne fait plus de doute. » « Quand Cellou Dalein Diallo pêche dans un désert démocratique », s'exclame L'Observateur Paalga, toujours à Ouagadougou. En effet, « une chose est sûre, pointe le journal, quel que soit le taux de participation au scrutin à venir, la nouvelle Constitution passera comme une lettre à la poste, ouvrant ainsi un boulevard au "colosse de Conakry", pour légitimer plus tard son pouvoir. » D'autant, insiste L'Observateur Paalga, « quand on connaît la chape de plomb à laquelle sont confrontés les Guinéens actuellement : musellement des médias, enlèvement d'activistes de la société civile, répression d'opposants et suppression de partis politiques. C'est dans ce climat de terreur que se déroule la campagne où les partisans du oui sont les seuls visibles sur le terrain. » Une image écornée à l'international Sur place, en Guinée, les médias marchent sur des œufs. Pas de commentaires défavorables au projet de nouvelle constitution. À noter cependant cet article à lire sur le site Guinée 360, plutôt critique envers le pouvoir en place. Son titre : « trafic, corruption, cybercriminalité, libertés en recul : l'image de la Guinée écornée à l'international » : « alors que les autorités de transition se félicitent des performances économiques et d'un "retour de la confiance", plusieurs rapports publiés en cette année 2025 dressent un tableau beaucoup moins flatteur de la Guinée sur la scène internationale (…). Le pays figure parmi les moins bien classés dans la plupart des évaluations. » Et Guinée 360 de citer, à chaque fois avec des sources précises, les libertés publiques en recul, le problème du trafic de cocaïne, la cybercriminalité, l'opacité de la dette, la corruption persistante ou encore la mauvaise régulation du secteur de l'électricité. « Une exception positive », toutefois, pointe Guinée 360 : « le rapport Africa's Pulse de la Banque mondiale prévoit pour la Guinée une croissance exceptionnelle de 11,3 % cette année, l'une des plus fortes d'Afrique subsaharienne. Le pays devrait maintenir cette dynamique à moyen terme, soutenue par l'exploitation minière et la relative stabilité budgétaire. »

What if stepping into a voting booth is less about freedom and more about forcing your will on your neighbor? Craig sits down with writer Jeb Smith to wrestle with a question many Christians and libertarians rarely stop to ask: Is voting consistent with the values we claim to hold? Jeb, author of Is Libertarianism Consistent with Voting?, argues that casting a ballot contradicts the very heart of libertarian “live and let live” principles. And for Christians, the stakes are even higher. Jesus never told us to hand power over our neighbors to Caesar. He called us to serve, not to rule. The conversation digs into how politics twists even kind and gentle people into something unrecognizable, why voting legitimizes a corrupt system built on coercion, and how stepping away from political participation might actually free us to love our neighbors better. As Jeb puts it, “Since I stopped voting, I get along with people much better, even those with completely different political opinions.” This isn't just another debate about left vs. right. It's a challenge to reimagine what it means to follow Christ in a world obsessed with power. Tune in, and ask yourself honestly: are you serving Christ when you pull that lever, or are you just baptizing Caesar's game with Christian language?  

The Catechism has shown us how the common good begins with the good of the individual. It further shows us that each individual can participate in the pursuit of the common good for all—and that this participation is not optional, but an obligation. Fr. Mike explains the nature of this obligation in quite simple terms: “see a need, fill a need.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1913-1927. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

[This is one of the finalists in the 2025 review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] If you've been following this blog for long, you probably know at least a bit about pharmaceutical research. You might know a bit about the sort of subtle measures pharmaceutical companies take to influence doctors' prescribing habits, or how it takes billions of dollars on average to bring a new medication to market, or something about the perverse incentives which determine the FDA's standards for accepting or rejecting a new drug. You might have some idea what kinds of hoops a company has to jump through to conduct actual research which meets legal guidelines for patient safety and autonomy. You may be less familiar though, with how the sausage is actually made. How do pharmaceutical companies actually go through the process of testing a drug on human participants? I'm going to be focusing here on a research subject's view of what are known as Phase I clinical trials, the stage in which prospective drugs are tested for safety and tolerability. This is where researchers aim to answer questions like “Does this drug have any dangerous side effects?” “Through what pathways is it removed from a patient's body?” and “Can we actually give people enough of this drug that it's useful for anything?” This comes before the stage where researchers test how good a drug is at actually treating any sort of disease, when patients who're suffering from the target ailments are given the option receive it as an experimental treatment. In Phase I clinical trials, the participants are healthy volunteers who're participating in research for money. There are almost no cases in which volunteer participation is driven by motivations other than money, because the attitudes between research participants and clinicians overwhelmingly tend to be characterized by mutual guarded distrust. This distrust is baked into the process, both on a cultural level among the participants, and by the clinics' own incentives. All of what follows is drawn from my own experiences, and experiences that other participants in clinical pharmaceutical research have shared with me, because for reasons which should become clear over the course of this review, research which systematically explores the behaviors and motives of clinical research participants is generally not feasible to conduct. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-review-participation-in-phase

In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Keely Henninger, and Hillary Allen dive into one of the biggest weeks in trail running, the 2025 UTMB Finals. From brutal weather and historically high dropout rates to some of the closest top-10 finishes ever, the crew breaks down all the drama across OCC, CCC, and UTMB. They highlight standout wins from Jim Walmsley, Ruth Croft, and Francesco Puppi, celebrate trailblazing performances from athletes representing countries new to the UTMB stage, and reflect on the growing but still uneven women's participation numbers. Beyond the race results, they explore what it means for athletes to double between UTMB, Hardrock, and upcoming World Championships, and touch on the ever-buzzing brand scene in Chamonix. Beyond the race, the crew highlights systemic challenges in sport: Strava and For All Mothers+ awarded $2,000 grants to 50 athlete-mothers to cover childcare costs and training expenses, directly addressing the “motherhood penalty” that prevents so many women from competing at the highest level. Tune in for a mix of insights, stories from the ground, and the unique perspective only this crew can bring.

Discipleship is really about two simple things: showing up and paying attention. When we participate with purpose and presence, we learn to trust, belong, and join God's work in the world. When we reflect on our experiences, we create space to see how love received becomes love expressed. Jesus modeled this perfectly—he took his disciples into real situations and then helped them process what they'd seen. In this rhythm of engaging and reflecting, we gradually become the kind of people for whom life with God feels less like work and more like a natural flow, where transformation happens not through striving but through grace.
