One of the surprising aspects of the American electoral system is that while regular gerrymandering is frowned upon, racial gerrymandering is actually required by law. Meaning that if you redraw a congressional district to benefit your political party, you might get criticized for it, but that's about all. Under certain circumstances, however, if you redraw a state's congressional districts and don't go out of your way to give more weight to minorities, then that is actually illegal. Essentially, states have to consider race when apportioning their congressional districts.At least, they have to for now—because it looks like the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to change this soon.Let's go through the details together.

In today's episode of The Daily Windup, we're talking with Brian Samvich of Anchin, a specialist in regulatory compliance and investigations, and someone deeply embedded in the real-world mechanics of government contracting. Brian breaks down how federal and state construction projects are now coming with strict participation goals—often 30%, 33%, or even 36%—for minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and HUBZone businesses. And it's not just a suggestion—it's being written directly into bonds and compliance terms. Brian shares how his team helps both large builders and government agencies meet these aggressive diversity and small business goals, and how firms can get ahead by certifying, showing up early, and building meaningful partnerships. If you're a MWBE, SDVOSB, or small business owner looking to land major public contracts, this episode is a must. You'll also learn about new changes like New York's Article 15-A, which lets certified firms bid up to 10% higher than competitors and still win. Compliance isn't just paperwork—it's a gateway to millions in opportunity. Tune in and make sure you're not missing out.
In the second of our small series on Mental Health at Work, Jenn Mason and I tackled a really challenging episode (as you can see by the title). We jumped right in by asking if resilience is being "weaponized" - used as a justification for harmful systems rather than a skill to be supported. We explore the dark side of a resilience culture, where praising people for surviving toxic, high-demand environments becomes a smokescreen for the actual problem. What is the difference between empowering people to heal versus requiring them to manage the harm inflicted upon them by broken systems? We talk about how this "grind it out" mentality is often hard-coded generationally, something Jenn and I personally experienced coming up in the Gen X workforce. We share our own stories and hope you'll enjoy them as well. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.
When state lawmakers passed their biennial budget in July, they approved a $256 million increase to the University of Wisconsin system budget — but that money came with a lot of strings attached. Professors across the UW system are expected to carry heavier teaching loads, which has raised concerns about the potential impact on research and overall academic quality. To unpack these concerns and other potential consequences, host Bianca Martin speaks with Jon Shelton, a professor at UW-Green Bay and president of the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin, and Barret Elward, president of the United Faculty & Academic Staff union at UW-Madison. ‼️We're doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners. We'd be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey — it's only 7 minutes long. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card and City Cast Madison swag!

Requirements for achieving a high level of classical piano, new ways of working, and the hypothetical hang with Paul McCartney. Chester Hansen (BADBADNOTGOOD, Fieldrow) "Like musical theatre and scripted television, jazz and hip-hop are uniquely, undeniably North American art forms. Though the latter genre was born out of funk and disco in the late 1970s, many of its landmark artists embody the ethos of jazz: loose, visceral, instinctive. Some hip-hop acts--A Tribe Called Quest, or more recently Kendrick Lamar--have successfully repurposed jazz, but the older genre has seldom made successful inroads into new generations of rap fans. And that's what makes BADBADNOTGOOD, the four-piece, Toronto-bred jazz outfit that has melded jazz and instrumental hip-hop into something elusive, something altogether their own, so unique. On their latest full-length effort, IV (due out via Innovative Leisure on July 8th), BBNG decide to expand their universe, which was already one of the most compelling, labyrinthine worlds in pop music today. Saxophonist Leland Whitty, a long-time collaborator, joins Chester Hansen, Matthew Tavares, and Alexander Sowinski on a full-time basis; for the first time, guest vocalists are welcomed into the fold. Some artists find collaboration stressful and cluttering, but BBNG simply seems freer to chase down creative rabbit holes than ever before. The effect is apparent immediately. See "Lavender," a collaboration with the Montreal-based producer Kaytranada, which pairs delicate, skittering production with a punishing low end. Or take the virtuosic closer, which underscores superb performances by Whitty and Tavares with a grand swell of strings. On "Hyssop of Love," upstart Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins moves languidly, stretching out taunts ("I heard your plug was drrrrry") before he snaps upright ("Never needed no dollars to prove worth"). The result is not just BBNG's most expansive, most dynamic effort to date, but their best. Lest anyone think the group is only concerned with blurring genre lines, the title track alone is enough to ensure the most discerning jazz purists will have to respect BBNG's technical chops. IV is a master class in mood. The opening three-song suite ("And That, Too.," "Speaking Gently," and the Sam Herring-assisted "Time Moves Slow") is a slow, slinking creep, like moving uneasily through an abandoned house. And while BBNG explores different tones on subsequent tracks, that feeling--the search, the push for the unknown--is the prevailing theme. "Chompy's Paradise" is peaceful and serene, but ends on an uncertain note, unresolved. Like most great artists before them, the quartet understands that it's more important to raise questions than to answer them."

The headliner news is that since the introduction of mod support in September 2024, fans have uploaded over 8,500 mods and hit 265 million mod downloads… of which over 248,000 were for the “Withers Big Naturals” mod, which you can search up in your own time.

NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford joins Cam to discuss the new federal lawsuit taking on the registration of suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and "any other weapons" required by the National Firearms Act.
In this episode, we're diving deep into the core principles required to build a 7-figure funding business. It's a goal many of you have, but the hard truth is that less than 5% of funding professionals ever reach that level. I've done it multiple times, but my path to success was paved with some catastrophic failures that almost ended my career before it truly began. I thought I had it all figured out in my 20s. I built a multiple 7-figure mortgage business from the ground up, only to watch it all crumble during the 2008 recession. I lost everything. Instead of fighting back, I became someone I didn't recognize: a whiner, a complainer, someone who blamed the world for my problems. I was at rock bottom for three long years, stuck in a cycle of negativity. How do you pull yourself out of a nosedive like that when you've become your own worst enemy? It all changed when I made a conscious decision to adopt one powerful, life-altering principle: to be unreasonably optimistic in the face of adversity. This isn't about naive positivity; it's a strategic weapon. I'll share the story of a client who was just moments away from quitting on his dream, needing $30,000 but ready to stop after a single decline. What I told him in that moment not only saved his business but is something you can use on your very next sales call. I'm revealing the three toxic habits I eliminated that completely transformed my results and the simple, daily practice I use to recenter myself when challenges feel overwhelming. This is the key to winning when adversity inevitably strikes. Are you ready to learn how to master it? For More Info: https://MyFundingMachine.com Email: info@7figures.com

Today's episode is powerful, Thrivesters - I'm diving into a topic most high-achieving women like you struggle with but rarely talk about: rest. Not as a luxury, but as a requirement for resilience, clarity, and confidence.For example - my friend who was too exhausted to get off her bed and go to the beach - even though that's exactly what she needed. On a Thursday. In Cape Cod.Sound familiar? We, as women have been conditioned to believe that we have to earn our rest and today, we're unpacking why that belief is holding us back and may be causing more damage than we know.We'll explore:Why women are conditioned to associate rest with laziness or selfishnessHow tying your identity to your output makes rest feel dangerousThe sneaky guilt that shows up when you try to slow downScience-backed reasons rest = resilienceThis is your reminder that rest isn't indulgent. It's intelligent. And reclaiming it might just be the boldest move you make this year.You'll learn how:Rest improves executive function, decision-making, and emotional regulationWomen experience higher rates of burnout because of our output-driven identityGuilt around rest is a symptom of conditioning - not truthResilience isn't pushing through; it's bouncing back - and this requires recovery (ie, REST).Your challenge this week: rest without the guilt and without “earning” it. Take 20 minutes just for you - no justification required.Then - go out there and thrive like you mean it!Thriving Isn't Just Doing More of What You Love - Even Joy Needs Boundaries EP156

By Adam Turteltaub If you're looking for compliance direction only from the US Department of Justice, you're missing the wider picture. There is a lot going on in Europe that companies operating in that geography need to be complying with. Dr. Tobias Kruis, Head of Corporate Compliance, Giesecke+Devrient, shares what is going on both in this podcast in his session “Dancing with the Acronyms: Jiving Through LkSG and CSDDDD in the European Compliance Ballroom” at the 2025 SCCE Annual Compliance & Ethics Institute. The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, also known under the acronym LkSG, is focused on human rights, occupational health and safety and environmental projects. It requires regular and systematic risk assessments as well as remediation and preventative measures if risks are found. Grievance procedures are also a mandate, as are annual effectiveness reports on the supplier due diligence process. Sanctions for non-compliance can be as high as 2% of annual turnover. The German regulator has already conducted over 1,000 proactive reviews since the act was adopted. The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive was adopted in 2024 and builds on some existing national laws. The aim is to ensure a level playing field for companies in Europe by requiring them to address human rights and environmental concerns in the supply chain. It has much broader reach than the German law in its requirements, including a mandate to conduct due diligence beyond the first tier of suppliers. While enforcement has not yet begun and several changes are contemplated, compliance teams can begin preparing now, taking a risk-based approach to their due diligence efforts. They should also start building cross-functional partnerships with HR, quality, management, procurement and the sustainability teams.

Is an Attack on the Heart a Requirement for Change? Is someone's choice to treat themselves with more care, by going plant based, one step on their journey of becoming vegan? Listen to today's episode written by Vegan Psychologist Clare Mann. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #vystopia #plantbasedjourney #veganism ========================== Original post: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/attack-heart-requirement-change-clare-mann-douzc Book: Vystopia The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World: https://veganpsychologist.com/step/vystopia-book-landing/ Book: Myths of Choice - Why People Won't Change and What You Can Do About It: https://veganpsychologist.com/step/myths-of-choice-details/ ========================= Clare Mann is a vegan psychologist, communications skills trainer and the author of several books, including Vystopia: The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non Vegan World. She became vegan 16 years ago, after realizing 30 years of vegetarianism was totally inadequate if I wanted to do everything possible to not use or exploit animals. The skills she acquired through a successful career as an organisational psychologist, university lecturer and speaker, are now applied to help vegans become confident, hopeful vegan conversationalists who are ushering in a kinder vegan world. Having lived with the Burden of Knowing vegans are so familiar with, she stood up to the medical world that diminishes our anguish as unnecessary. She therefore coined the phrase Vystopia and now helps vegans all over the world develop powerful ways to become vegan change makers.

This week, I sat down with Lisa R. Burchi, Of Counsel to Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. and resident expert on Proposition 65, among many other chemical laws. Lisa explains why businesses doing business in California need to know about the latest version of the so-called “short form” warning requirements that will be fully phased in by 2028. That may sound like a long way off, but it is not. We also discuss the complicated history of the short form label changes, some of the business considerations pertinent to the selection of the short form label of which stakeholders should be aware, and we cover the significant consequences of non-compliance with the warning requirements.

Episode Summary:Dave Coriale sits down with Gretchen Steenstra, Director of Project Strategy and Leadership at DelCor, and Niko Cribb, Technology Consultant at DelCor, to unpack what happened at the DelCor Bootcamp during AMS Fest. They explore the evolving challenges of AMS selection, the importance of ecosystem and context diagrams, and how associations can better prepare for system adoption. From peer-to-peer learning to the impact of private equity on vendor trust, this episode is packed with practical takeaways for association professionals navigating the complex world of association management systems. Topics & Themes:Inside the DelCor Bootcamp at AMS FestA vendor-free, candid environment where association professionals can ask real questions and get honest feedback.Bootcamp helps attendees feel more confident and prepared before engaging with vendors.Ecosystem and Context DiagramsAttendees were asked to draw their current tech ecosystem to visualize integrations and ownership.The process of creating the diagram was more valuable than the final product.Writing Better RequirementsParticipants practiced writing user story-based requirements, often for the first time.Emphasis on considering multiple perspectives: membership, finance, and member services.Understanding the Role of the Business AnalystAssociations don't need to turn staff into BAs, but must understand the BA role.Clear requirements are essential for selection, configuration, and adoption.Most AMS issues stem from poor adoption, not poor functionality.Balancing Ecosystems vs. All-in-One PlatformsDiscussion around whether to consolidate or diversify systems.Risks of over-reliance on a single platform vs. complexity of multiple systems.Private Equity and Vendor TrustMergers and acquisitions are eroding trust in vendors and direct access to decision-makers is more difficult.Associations must take ownership of training, documentation, and vendor relationships.Change Management and Adoption FearsSome staff fear change and struggle with system transitions.Bootcamp helps surface these concerns early in the process.Peer Learning and Community SupportAMS Fest's value lies in shared experiences and peer advice.One piece of advice from a peer can shift an entire selection strategy.Final Question: What's Got You Worked Up?Gretchen: Frustrated by the lack of payoff from private equity investment in platforms.Niko: Wants more associations to engage in the conversation and learn from peers.
Send us a textRemember when after-school activities were actually optional? Those days are long gone. We're diving into the modern reality of "mandatory extracurriculars" - the weekend tournaments, summer practices, and endless commitments that have hijacked family life across America.As parents, we're feeling the squeeze from all sides. The financial burden is crushing - from the $200 basketball shoes to the multiple uniforms, equipment fees, and travel expenses that have turned youth sports into a luxury many families simply can't afford. Plus, the time commitment has reached absurd levels. Two-a-day summer practices? Sunday games that conflict with church? Late night competitions on school nights? When did this become normal?The system is breaking families in subtle ways. Parents scramble to accommodate impossible schedules while kids are burned out before they even hit high school. Meanwhile, schools send mixed messages - academics matter, but we'll pull you out of class for a game without hesitation. The "not mandatory" lie particularly infuriates us - sure, practice isn't "required," but miss it and you'll run laps or sit the bench. That's mandatory with extra steps.We explore how this culture impacts everything from education quality to family dynamics, sharing our own parenting struggles and observations from years in the school system. This isn't just complaining - it's a serious conversation about reclaiming balance and sanity in a system that's spinning out of control.Share your own experiences with us! Have extracurriculars taken over your family calendar? How do you maintain boundaries while supporting your kids' interests? Rate, review, and let us know you're out there - we'd love to hear your thoughts on this modern parenting challenge.

Far too many software projects crash not because of poor coding, but because of poor planning. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore why requirements matter more than ever. They dive deep into the foundational role that clearly defined, testable, and outcome-focused requirements play in delivering successful software projects. With insights drawn from hands-on experience and AI-generated discussion points, the episode uncovers how misaligned expectations and incomplete planning can derail even the most promising initiatives. Whether you're a developer, product manager, or founder, this conversation reminds us that getting it right starts well before a line of code is written. Why Requirements Matter in Software Development Rob and Michael begin by revisiting a powerful truth: software requirements are the blueprint for everything that follows. Vague requests and incomplete specifications are the root cause of missed deadlines, blown budgets, and frustrated clients. Callout CEO: 70% of software project failures are tied to poor requirements, not bad developers. When everyone understands what's being built—and more importantly, why—teams align better, and projects succeed more often. Requirements Matter More Than Perfect Code Even flawless code can't rescue a project built on the wrong foundation. Rob highlights three common causes of failure: Misunderstood business goals Disconnects between stakeholders and developers Expanding scope from unclear requirements If the team can't agree on what success looks like, no amount of elegant code will save the effort. For more on aligning teams and expectations, check out our episode on Bridging Methodologies. Requirements Matter: Start with the Why Michael emphasizes starting with the business objective. Before diving into specs or wireframes, ask: Why does this solution need to exist? What problem is it solving? Many clients envision modern systems based on outdated workflows. Developers must educate while extracting needs—balancing modernization with functionality that still matters. Requirements Matter When Writing User Stories Rob and Michael advocate for user stories—clear, testable statements of what the system must do. A well-written story includes: A specific actor (e.g., user, admin) A goal (e.g., schedule an appointment) An expected result (e.g., receive confirmation) Michael puts it plainly: If a developer doesn't know when a requirement is “done,” it's not a requirement—it's a guess. Learn more about effective story writing with this Agile user story guide. Requirements Matter in Managing Scope and Budget Requirements aren't just lists—they're guardrails. Michael warns that unchecked feature creep can quietly drain resources and sink projects. A disciplined list of must-haves versus nice-to-haves keeps everything on track. Start with the core. A “calendar app” doesn't need AI-scheduling in version one. Build the basics first, validate them, and then iterate with purpose. Requirements Matter in Prototypes and Demos Rob is a strong advocate for visual requirements. Tools like Figma, PowerPoint, and internal “kitchen sink” demos help bring vague ideas into sharp focus. Stakeholders often struggle to articulate what they want—until they see it. Clickable mockups bridge the communication gap and reduce costly rework. As Rob puts it, “the more real it feels, the better the feedback you'll get.” Balancing Detail: When Requirements Matter and When They Don't Finding the balance between too little and too much detail is key. Rob favors lightweight specs for creative flexibility, while Michael leans on testable, bulletproof requirements. Their advice? Define what the system must do, but avoid locking in how it must be done—especially too early. The goal is clarity of intent, not rigidity in implementation. Make Requirements Matter on Your Team Before wrapping up, Rob and Michael pose a practical challenge to all teams: Can every requirement in your backlog be tested and tied to a business goal? If not, it may be time to revise or remove it. Unclear requirements aren't just annoying—they're expensive. By committing to clarity, your team reduces ambiguity, limits rework, and speeds up delivery. Every stakeholder benefits when expectations are grounded in reality. Final Thoughts From stakeholder interviews to wireframes and test-driven development, requirements matter at every stage of the software development lifecycle. Each assumption should be questioned. Each “nice to have” should be weighed carefully. Every essential feature must be validated. So the next time you're tempted to “just start coding,” take a step back and ask: Do we really understand what we're building—and why? Because when requirements matter, your software delivers.

Washington County is revising how it implements diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in order to comply with new federal grant requirements tied to executive orders from President Trump. Local officials say the move is necessary to protect access to $135 million in federal funding that supports housing, infrastructure, and critical services for thousands of low-income residents in the county. While the move has drawn criticism from community members who worry it signals a retreat from equity commitments, those involved say the change is necessary to avoid potential civil and criminal liability under the federal False Claims Act. The county commission is scheduled to take a final vote to affirm the policy changes Tuesday, July 22. Washington County Board Chair Kathryn Harrington joins us to talk more about the changes that come amid broader questions about how local governments navigate new federal policies.
