In episode 124 of our podcast Work Comp Talk, host Carmen Ramirez sits down with Brendean Luce, Associate Attorney at Pacific Workers, to delve into the complexities of workers' compensation and the rights and responsibilities of injured workers in California. This conversation explores the nuances of working while on workers' comp, the importance of communication with treating doctors, and the implications of temporary and permanent disability. The discussion also highlights the risks of working under the table and the potential legal consequences of not disclosing income from secondary jobs. Expert insights are shared to help injured workers navigate the system effectively.      What you will learn:  Injured workers often seek to balance recovery with economic needs.  Communication with treating doctors is crucial for injured workers.  Temporary total disability means no work at all, with benefits provided.  Insurance companies control medical care in workers' compensation cases.  Permanent disability does not preclude returning to work.  Working under the table can lead to insurance fraud allegations.  The process of workers' compensation claims can be slow and complex.      Chapters:  00:00 Understanding Workers' Compensation Basics  02:37 Navigating Work Restrictions and Employer Responsibilities  05:51 Temporary and Permanent Disability Explained  08:25 Managing Multiple Jobs During Workers' Comp Claims  11:05 The Risks of Working Under the Table  13:53 Key Takeaways for Injured Workers  16:55 Final Thoughts and Expert Insights    This episode is sponsored by Pacific Workers, The Lawyers for Injured Workers, the trusted workers' compensation law firm in Northern California.

Catherine Nzuki was joined by Ambassador Martin Kimani, PhD, the Executive Director of New York University's Center on International Cooperation. He was previously the Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations (UN).

We discuss how long Africa has been pushing for these seats (3:40); the procedure to create the two permanent seats (7:00); why the process of selecting which African state will occupy those seats could cause infighting (15:20); and two scenarios for how these seats could be distributed (19:40).

#126 Musulman•es de France : le soupçon permanent ? En mai 2025, le rapport "Frères musulmans et islamisme politique en France" fait couler beaucoup d'encre. Présenté comme la preuve d'une inquiétante gangrène mais aussi critiqué pour son manque de rigueur, il semble comme tant de commentateurs, analyser les pratiques les plus anodines de l'islam comme des signaux de proximité avec des mouvements extrémistes.Parallèlement toute personnalité publique ouvertement musulmane et critique de l'islamophobie encourt le risque d'être accusée de proximité d'un islam dit « politique » dont on a du mal à dessiner les contours. C'est un régime de suspicion qui semble assimiler une frange de plus en plus large des musulman•es à un mouvement global qui menacerait les civilisations européennes. Qu'est ce qui constitue donc ce « problème musulman » ?Rokhaya Diallo et Grace Ly reçoivent Hamza Esmili, socio-anthropologue du religieux et chercheur à l'Université libre de Bruxelles (Belgique), auteur du livre « La cité des musulmans, une piété indésirable » paru aux éditions Amsterdam.Références citées dans l'épisode :«Djihad judiciaire»: l'inquiétante stratégie d'intimidation des islamistes - Le Figaro- février 2024Audition de Hakim El Karoui par la commission des lois du Sénat mars 2021https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJzGYMKm-8A Huffington Post, octobre 2019https://www.tf1.fr/tmc/quotidien-avec-yann-barthes/videos/a-bas-le-voile-le-discours-choc-de-bruno-retailleau-lors-du-meeting-pour-la-republique-contre-lislamisme-78466039.html Bruneau Retailleau sur Quotidien, mars 2025Émission produite par Rokhaya Diallo et Grace Ly. kiffetarace@kiffetarace.comSon & réalisation : Monsieur Yao pour L'Appart StudioGraphisme : Gwenn GLMDirection artistique : @argotmagazineHabillage sonore : Baptiste MayorazKiffe ta race est disponible gratuitement sur Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music… Rejoignez nos communautés #Kiffetarace sur Youtube, Instagram, X, Facebook en vous abonnant à nos comptes.

Last month, more than 3,200 union workers at three Boeing plants in the St. Louis area went on strike. The employees, who make U.S. fighter jets and advanced weapons systems, rejected a "landmark" contract. The deal reportedly gave workers a 40% bump over the next four years as well as better medical benefits, pensions, overtime and work-life balance. But the union's members rejected that proposal.Well, it's been a month, and since Boeing's best aren't willing to budge, the company is looking for a Plan B. Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the new plan includes hiring permanent replacement workers.

The Scripture readings are Isaiah 29:17-24; 2 Corinthians 3:4-11; and Mark 7:31-37.The Holy Spirit abides in and is with you. He accompanies you and makes you worthy to be a worker in His kingdom. Anyone who questions that worthiness insults Him directly and isn't worth listening to. God Himself has made you sufficient and enough.

Judge Rassp walks us through the foundation of the system, from medical treatment to temporary and permanent disability benefits, and explains how these core protections are designed to support injured employees while balancing employer responsibilities.The conversation also explores how utilization review, independent medical review, and evolving case law influence the delivery of these benefits. Judge Rassp emphasizes the importance of fairness, education, and due process in ensuring that both injured employees and employers understand the system and can navigate it effectively.According to Rassp: “Temporary disability keeps food on the table during recovery. Permanent disability recognizes when someone's life has been permanently changed by an injury.”Please join us for this informative episode with one of our industry's most experienced and esteemed educators.

Snacks, Ghosts, and Shardblades: How to Play Stormlight Archive RPG (Part I)” Because nothing says “epic fantasy” like kettle chips, Cajun cuisine, and the looming threat of narrative-driven permanent injuries. Want to dive deeper into tabletop roleplaying games? Whether you're a first-time player or a veteran rules lawyer, visit RPGBOT.net for guides, advice, and resources to make your games smarter, funnier, and way more effective. In this first installment of How to Play the Stormlight Archive RPG, the hosts take listeners on a whirlwind ride from snack aisle recommendations to Southern Gothic ghost stories before plunging headfirst into the mechanics of the Stormlight RPG. The episode opens with food talk—everything from dill pickle kettle chips and Louisiana's famous Zapp's Voodoo chips to gas station fried chicken and boudin blanc. With a dash of humor and cultural flavor, the conversation eases into spooky tales of Savannah and New Orleans before pivoting into the main course: the Stormlight RPG's unique mechanics. Listeners get an in-depth look at how the game emphasizes both strategic combat and narrative storytelling. From the mysterious plot die to heartbeat-linked Shardblade summoning, the mechanics elevate roleplay by weaving tension and consequence into every roll. Combat in Stormlight plays out with distinctive pacing—10-second rounds, strategic positioning, and careful maneuvering—creating a rhythm that rewards tactical play. The hosts also break down status effects, the permanence of injuries, and the recovery mechanics that keep characters on the razor's edge of risk and survival. The balance between crunch and narrative immersion is front and center, showing how this RPG captures the scope and stakes of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere setting. Key Takeaways Snack wisdom: Dill pickle kettle chips and Zapp's Voodoo chips are peak gaming fuel; Chick-fil-A fries are their only redeeming quality. Food detour: Louisiana and New Orleans offer unforgettable culinary experiences—from gas station chicken to boudin blanc. Spooky vibes: Savannah earns the title of America's most haunted city, grounding the episode's Southern Gothic interlude. Plot die: A signature mechanic that introduces unexpected twists and narrative complications. Combat pacing: Unlike D&D's 6-second rounds, Stormlight's 10-second rounds encourage more complex decisions.

Snacks, Ghosts, and Shardblades: How to Play Stormlight Archive RPG (Part I)” Because nothing says “epic fantasy” like kettle chips, Cajun cuisine, and the looming threat of narrative-driven permanent injuries. Want to dive deeper into tabletop roleplaying games? Whether you're a first-time player or a veteran rules lawyer, visit RPGBOT.net for guides, advice, and resources to make your games smarter, funnier, and way more effective. In this first installment of How to Play the Stormlight Archive RPG, the hosts take listeners on a whirlwind ride from snack aisle recommendations to Southern Gothic ghost stories before plunging headfirst into the mechanics of the Stormlight RPG. The episode opens with food talk—everything from dill pickle kettle chips and Louisiana's famous Zapp's Voodoo chips to gas station fried chicken and boudin blanc. With a dash of humor and cultural flavor, the conversation eases into spooky tales of Savannah and New Orleans before pivoting into the main course: the Stormlight RPG's unique mechanics. Listeners get an in-depth look at how the game emphasizes both strategic combat and narrative storytelling. From the mysterious plot die to heartbeat-linked Shardblade summoning, the mechanics elevate roleplay by weaving tension and consequence into every roll. Combat in Stormlight plays out with distinctive pacing—10-second rounds, strategic positioning, and careful maneuvering—creating a rhythm that rewards tactical play. The hosts also break down status effects, the permanence of injuries, and the recovery mechanics that keep characters on the razor's edge of risk and survival. The balance between crunch and narrative immersion is front and center, showing how this RPG captures the scope and stakes of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere setting. Key Takeaways Snack wisdom: Dill pickle kettle chips and Zapp's Voodoo chips are peak gaming fuel; Chick-fil-A fries are their only redeeming quality. Food detour: Louisiana and New Orleans offer unforgettable culinary experiences—from gas station chicken to boudin blanc. Spooky vibes: Savannah earns the title of America's most haunted city, grounding the episode's Southern Gothic interlude. Plot die: A signature mechanic that introduces unexpected twists and narrative complications. Combat pacing: Unlike D&D's 6-second rounds, Stormlight's 10-second rounds encourage more complex decisions. Shardblades: Summoning is tied to the rhythm of heartbeats, adding tension to critical combat moments. Tactical movement: 25-foot standard speed, with penalties for firing ranged attacks up close. Status conditions: Meaningful and potentially crippling, shaping the flow of battle. Injury and death: Permanent injury or character death can raise narrative stakes dramatically. Rest and recovery: Players can restore health and focus through both solo recovery and tending to allies, creating teamwork-driven downtime.

Aujourd'hui, Antoine Diers, Emmanuel de Villiers et Bruno Poncet débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall.

In this episode, Don and Tom confront the emotionally charged—and often financially tragic—decision to claim Social Security early. They debunk three common justifications: fear of system insolvency, false break-even math, and “I just want my money.” Don shares his own benefit numbers as a real-world example of the value of waiting, especially for married couples. They also address why many can't wait and explore whether alternatives like balanced portfolios or annuities make sense. Later, they roast misleading “hybrid pension” annuity schemes from KCIS, field smart ETF questions about AVGE and AVNM, and talk target-date funds, including why some belong only in tax-deferred accounts. The show ends on a lighter note with a detour into the surprising origin stories of Cocoa Beach, Florida—and a well-earned nod to Don's daughter for her killer disclaimer voiceover. 0:04 Tom's Goldilocks routine: too hot, too cold, never just right 1:05 Why early Social Security claims can be financially tragic 2:11 Top emotional excuses people use to claim early 3:19 The 2033 funding deadline and how Congress will likely delay action 4:16 Misconceptions about break-even math and spousal survivor benefits 5:01 Real example: Don's $49K vs. $58K annual benefit if he waits 6:55 The “just want my money” crowd: emotional logic at its worst 8:13 Average claiming age has improved, but still too early for most 9:38 Can you bridge the income gap to delay claiming?

In Episode 432 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Vincent Deluard, Director of Global Macro Strategy at StoneX Group, where he advises large institutional investors on asset allocation, economic forecasting, and quantitative modeling informed by historical patterns and structural economic analysis. Vincent Deluard and Demetri spend the first hour of their conversation exploring Deluard's macroeconomic framework and the key structural forces that he believes are shaping the emergence of a new macro regime of fiscal dominance, including shifting demographics, politically driven inflation, geopolitical fragmentation, and the decline of institutional trust. The two discuss his provocative thesis that recessions have been "canceled," examining the structural and technological forces that Vincent believes are reducing economic cyclicality and reshaping the role of monetary and fiscal policy. In the second hour, Vincent Deluard delves much deeper into his specific investment theses, including his call for an Asia "reverse currency crisis," his long-term outlook for the U.S. dollar, and an Asian-driven oil demand shock that could rile markets and challenge the ability of monetary authorities to balance their mandates of maintaining price stability while also supporting economic growth and maximum employment. Vincent also shares his suggestions on how to construct a "fiscal dominance" portfolio, including which asset classes he believes will outperform under the new macroeconomic conditions that they discuss in their conversation and how investors can best manage risk and reward in this new paradigm.
