Renewed fighting in Syria has ended a period of relative calm in the country after rebel groups launched a surprise offensive last week and took over the country's second biggest city, Aleppo. Syrian government forces also said they had withdrawn on Thursday from Hama, a strategic city with supply lines to loyalist coastal strongholds. Led by the militant group Hayat Tahrir Al Sham, the rebels took only about two days to seize Aleppo. Syrian government and Russian jets carried out counterstrikes soon after, bombing the rebel-held city of Idlib in the north-west of the country. Syria's civil war started in 2011 after protests against President Bashar Al Assad's rule were met with a brutal crackdown, turning into a bloody war since then. Vast areas of the country were eventually reclaimed by the government, including until last week Aleppo. Much of the north-west fell under the hold of various rebel groups, including Hayat Tahrir. In 2020 a truce was brokered by Turkey and Russia bringing the fighting to a standstill but this fragile status quo has now been broken. The timing, the scale and the speed of the offensive have sent shockwaves across the region. With so many international actors also involved in the conflict - Russia, Iran and Turkey to name a few - many questions loom over what this rebellion means and what will happen next. Host Nada AlTaher speaks to The National's Turkey-based correspondent Lizzie Porter, and to Orwa Ajjoub, Syria researcher and PhD candidate at Malmo University. They discuss how the latest events could change dynamics on the ground.

The Justice QuotientIn this episode (inspired by page 49 of my book, The Spirit of Work), I share the three essential components that must be in place to find a just solution. The solution must consider everyone's needs.Here are the three Justice Quotients:Diversity of perspectives must be included: If only one person has a voice, diverse viewpoints are missing. In situations where people are similar, actively seek other perspectives to gain different points of view. This ensures more just decisions, as relying on limited input can lead to incorrect conclusions.Consult those most affected: Those most affected by a decision must be consulted. If the individual is vulnerable and cannot make decisions on their own, their guardian or caretaker should be involved in the consultation. The person closest to the job is often the expert, so either the affected individual or their closest support should provide input.All stakeholders should be present when discussing the decision: In cases of a power imbalance, consider the rights and responsibilities of those most affected, and take into account the power dynamics. Ask those affected if the proposed resolutions would satisfy their concerns.Real-Life Examples:Example 1: A manager aimed to build his team's capacity by training a lead hand to deliver safety presentations. However, the lead hand became flustered during training as the manager assumed what help was needed without consulting him. Realizing his mistake, the manager decided to trust the lead hand to deliver the next presentation independently. This trust empowered the lead hand, who excelled and received a standing ovation from the crew. The situation highlighted a shift in power dynamics, with the manager learning to prioritize the lead hand's needs over his own methods.Example 2: A toxic manager in a different department repeatedly undermined the only female engineer responsible for safety, using misogynistic names and demeaning her input. Despite her warnings about compromised safety, no one spoke up due to fear of the bully. HR intervened after she filed a complaint, gathering evidence and perspectives. However, instead of disciplining the manager, HR held a meeting where he verbally attacked her. The power imbalance and lack of action led the female engineer and three top employees to quit, leaving the company weakened. In contrast, McDonald's handles similar situations by immediately supporting employees and addressing aggressive customers, which resets power dynamics and protects workers. Justice requires protection for all parties involved; without it, employees are left vulnerable, and toxic behaviors worsen.Example 3: Two nurses were caring for an elderly patient when a non-medical relative insisted that a catheter be removed, aggressively demanding a nurse to do so. The nurse refused, citing the need for authorization, but eventually gave in due to intimidation. The commotion drew a second nurse, who was black, and the relative turned on her, using racist slurs and threatening a complaint. The black nurse explained the risks of removing the catheter without proper evaluation, but the relative continued his aggression before leaving. He filed a complaint, which deeply affected the black nurse. Her charge nurse and union assured her of support, and an investigation revealed that no harm had occurred, and both nurses were mistreated. The complaint was dismissed, and the relative was banned from the hospital. Justice was served, and the nurses felt protected.If you carefully examine the examples above, you can clearly identify the injustices, how the justice quotient was used, and the consequences of not applying the justice quotients.Support the show

The hosts discuss the frequency and duration of sauna sessions for heat adaptation, the impact of heat on workout quality, and the potential benefits of sauna use for altitude acclimation. They also address the question of whether riding in the heat or using a sauna is more effective for heat adaptation. In terms of power meters, they discuss the accuracy and reliability of dual-sided power meters and the potential discrepancies between left and right power. They also consider the impact of different types of power meters on data analysis and coaching decisions. Keywords heat adaptation, sauna use, riding in the heat, dual-sided power meters, single-sided power meters, power balance Takeaways Riding in the heat is more effective for heat adaptation than using a sauna when not riding. For heat adaptation, it is recommended to ride during the hottest part of the day for endurance rides and use the sauna on lower intensity days. Sauna protocols for heat adaptation may involve daily sauna sessions in the first week, followed by less frequent sessions. The use of contrast therapy, such as a cold shower after a sauna session, may help reduce the effects of heat adaptation on sleep. The accuracy and reliability of power meters vary, and dual-sided power meters are generally preferred for more accurate power data. Power balance discrepancies between left and right legs may be more relevant in cases of injury or pain, and consistency in power measurement is important for accurate data analysis. Titles Sauna Protocols for Heat Adaptation The Effectiveness of Dual-Sided Power Meters Sound Bites "Embrace the heat, ride during the hottest part of the day." "The most effective way to use the sauna is immediately after the ride." "60 minutes on the trainer is 60 minutes, you didn't create more time out of nowhere."

My guest today is dear friend and colleague Michelle Reinglass - Reformed lawyer turned Mediator, International Speaker and Best-selling Author, Reiki Master, and Balance Expert. She is, in my perspective, abundantly filled with love, compassion, brilliance, and creativity, which she unconditionally gives to people as a gift. Truly she is one of the kindest, caring women I know.    Throughout her life she followed her intuition adding on one specialty at a time. Each of these experiences have led her to help people find a state of flow and balance to protect and defend themselves from overwhelm, conflict, and burnout. So much so that she built a personal brand and authored books to make an impact in the lives of women globally. And, she still works full time as a mediator.    This wasn't the path she thought she'd be on in her career and in our episode, you'll hear how Michelle has followed her intuition throughout her life. Everything works in harmony to help others give themselves grace and find their unique balance. Her own overachieving and demanding career led her to find her own balance through Reiki and teaching through her books and speaking. We discussed our society's addiction to being busy and how to break free from this. See how this resonates with your own life and how you can apply Michelle's beautiful wisdom.     Lawyer, Mediation, Balance expert.

The guys talked about how the Steelers front office will split duties heading into the off-season, according to a former NFL GM. Chris thinks the good draft picks will be credited to Andy Weidl and Omar Khan, with the bad picks being attributed to Mike Tomlin. We also listened back to some of the big answers from Cam Heyward.   Steelers special teams ace Miles Killebrew joined the show. Miles talked about his time so far in Pittsburgh and how he became a special teams captain. He talked about blocking two punts in his first season with the team. Miles talked about how he went from a mid-round pick to a leader and key contributor on special teams. Miles described himself as a blue-collar player. Miles talked about some of his biggest hits since he's been in the league, including one that resulted in a fine. Miles talked about what makes Minkah Fitzpatrick such a good player. The guys asked Miles what it's like to play under Mike Tomlin. Twitter is broken right now. Absolute catastrophe. 

The pendulum of power is shifting back towards employers as tech layoffs, a softening economy and other office workplace and hiring trends hit the world of work.

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from The Athletic joined the show. Mark gave his thoughts from the Art Rooney II press conference as he was one of the lucky Pittsburgh media members in attendance. Mark expects it to be status quo going forward because Rooney always says he wants to build the team through the draft. Mark thinks Omar Khan will have more say in this upcoming draft and free agency period than people probably expect. He said Khan was likely cleared by Mike Tomlin and if the head coach didn't want him as the GM after Kevin Colbert it probably wouldn't have happened. Mark talked about the offensive line and thinks there should be work done to the left side even if it means moving up a few spots in the draft. Mark said it isn't a slam dunk that Mitch Trubisky will be back next year even though Rooney seemed to speak highly of the backup QB.  Who will have the most say-so in the Steelers war room during the draft? Mark Kaboly made it sound like Andy Weidl will put together the draft board then get input from Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin. Who will have the most power and who will have the least? And will it be even input? Will Khan have more of a Pro Football Focus type approach as a numbers/analytics guy? What combination of minds makes you feel better going into the draft?  The guys bashed Donny for liking the band Creed.

Just a few short years ago a bunch of elite athletes started wearing silicone wristbands with shiny bits of holographic plastic on them (yes, like on a Pokemon card). Why? They claimed the shiny plastic bangles made them faster & stronger & even helped improve their sense of balance. How did they work? Nobody seemed to know… but that didn't seem to matter. Millions of people around the world were willing to buy a Power Balance Band to see what it could do to enhance their own performance. David Beckham and Shaquille O'Neill were on board, and the rest of the world didn't want to miss out.  Our guest Josh Garlepp serves us the gist of how the Power Balance Band craze kicked off, how it peaked, and of course how it crashed when people realised that silicone bracelets with holographic insets don't actually *do* anything much.  Skip straight to the story: approx 10:50 Josh Garlepp shares the story with Jacob Follow Josh on Instagram and TikTok @joshgarlepp Listen to Josh's podcast 'Full Credit' on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5eokwhUFJuZphyaspSOZdL We recommend the India prank call episode https://open.spotify.com/episode/1QG8AB7bZ1v9lkI37GlCOq  And the Thorpie's Angels episode https://open.spotify.com/episode/10jLMr0zdxeS80K3zJfoM6  We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this: Watch the Power Balance Band test video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gIMxjr3n5U Watch Shaquille O'Neal endorse the Power Balance Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcLt16Otmmc  Watch the Today Tonight story about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF7gvhj6140&t=1s  Follow us on Insta: @justthegistpodcast Send us your suGISTions for stories and guests: justthegistpodcast@gmail.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What You Need to Know is how the Senate power balance works! Arizona Sen. Kirsten Sinema has left the Democrat Party and is now an independent. Make no mistake, she's not conservative, but with Georgia's Warnock reelected to the Senate, the perceived 51-49 lead is now cut to 50-49-1. That means that Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin are squarely back in the driver's seat of the Senate. Also, the more on the Musk file dump from Twitter!  Dr. Ted Malloch, author, lecturer, businessman, and contributor to American Greatness, talks about his latest article FTX and the Root of Our Financial Crisis.

Ald. Anthony Beale (9) has been pushing since last June for members of the City Council to have their own legal counsel, separate from Chicago's Corporation Counsel charged with representing the city's interests as a whole. The addition would also bring aldermen their own parliamentarian to advocate on their behalf when there are disagreements over process during City Council meetings. But Beale's proposal has hit delay after delay as other aldermen seek to introduce their own proposals for legislative legal counsel. Beale talked to The Daily Line's ErinHegarty about his proposed ordinance, which ward map he supports and what the rest of the year holds for the 9th Ward.

The impacts of Russia's war in Ukraine isn't isolated to Europe. As the US and NATO pour weapons into a Ukrainian insurgency, the risk for confrontation between nuclear-armed power is rising. Does this mark the end of unipolarity and the beginning of a multipolar world? If so, what does that mean? How will support for a Ukrainian insurgency feed into the rise of the global far right? What will be the impact of the war and sanctions on Russia, which are already causing wheat, fertilizer and gas prices to skyrocket? And what should be the anti-imperialist left's position on these major developments?To help us frame these events in a global context, Vijay Prashad, Executive Director of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and author of “Washington Bullets: A History of the CIA, Coups, and Assassinations,” joins Dispatches with Rania Khalek. Listen to every episode of Dispatches anywhere you get podcasts.Apple: https://apple.co/3zeYpeW Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3za9DRK

Tina and Hillary cover former Hamilton County judge Tracie Hunter and former US Congressman from Oregon, David Wu.

BUT when evidence surfaces that she used her position to help her brother, jurors sit in judgment of her actions. Hillary's Story Democrat David Wu earned his first congressional seat in 1998 and he supported science backed policies and advocated for human rights.
