Podcasts about Rif

De geschiedenis van de Rif is een geschiedenis van verzet. Maar hoe werkt dat verzet door in het Marokko van vandaag en tot ver buiten Marokko?In het tweede deel van ons tweeluik over de Rif spreken we opnieuw met onderzoeker en schrijver Yassin Akouh, auteur van De Koloniale Vloek. We beginnen bij de ballingschap van Emir Abdelkrim en maken vervolgens de sprong naar 2016, toen na de dood van visverkoper Mohsin Fikri massale protesten uitbraken. De Hirak-beweging groeide uit tot een van de grootste protestbewegingen in Marokko in jaren.Waarom gingen duizenden Riffijnen de straat op? Waarom reageerde de Marokkaanse staat zo hard? En wat is er overgebleven van de beweging na de zware veroordelingen van haar leiders?Daarna verleggen we de blik naar Nederland. De Rif kent een grote diaspora in Europa, ontstaan vanuit de arbeidsmigratie vanaf de jaren zestig. Vooral onder jongeren in Nederland leefde de Hirak sterk. Hoe belangrijk is die diaspora voor het verzet in de Rif? En wat gebeurt er met een politieke beweging wanneer een deel van haar achterban zich duizenden kilometers verderop bevindt?Ook hoor je een column van Ahlam Benali, vanuit De Rif zelf, met de titel ‘Mijn Riffijnse kinderen kunnen zichzelf zijn'.Je hoeft deel één niet gehoord te hebben om deze aflevering te kunnen volgen. Maar samen vertellen beide afleveringen het grotere verhaal: van Abdelkrim en de Rifrepubliek tot de Hirak en de Riffijnse diaspora van vandaag.Volg onze LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/africastpodcast?originalSubdomain=nlVoor mooie beelden, quizjes en 'behind the scenes', volg onze Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/africast_podcast/Link met Jos of Joeri via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jos-hummelen/ & https://www.linkedin.com/in/joerinortier/

En 1958, durante el IV Congreso de la Organización Mundial de Periodistas (OIP), llevado a cabo en Bucarest (Rumania) se estableció el 8 de septiembre como Día Internacional del Periodista en honor y conmemoración al fallecimiento de Julius Fucik, escritor y periodista checoslovaco, que fue ejecutado por los nazis en 1943. La fecha está destinada a resaltar la importancia de la profesión del periodismo en su labor de buscar la verdad y en defensa de la libertad de expresión. Es necesario recordar que, en la actualidad, los periodistas siguen siendo objeto de ataques, encarcelamientos, secuestros y asesinatos por ejercer su profesión. Por ello, la importancia de homenajearlos y reconocer el papel que tienen en la sociedad. El 8 de septiembre de 1873 en Madrid, Emilio Castelar es elegido presidente de la I República Española.

Tal día como hoy, 8 de septiembre de 1941, la Alemania nazi inició el asedio de 900 días de Leningrado (conocido como Sitio de Leningrado) por las fuerzas alemanas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los soviéticos construyeron una intrincada defensa alrededor de la ciudad, pero el asedio provocó la muerte de al menos un millón de rusos por inanición y enfermedad. Años más tarde, el 8 de septiembre de 1943, tras la destitución de Mussolini del poder en julio, el general Dwight Eisenhower anuncia públicamente la rendición de Italia a los aliados. 1966: en Estados Unidos, el canal de televisión NBC emite el primer epìsodio de la serie de ciencia ficción Star Trek (Star Trek: The Original Series), creada por Gene Roddenberry. 1972.- Se crea en España la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia. 1977.- Rafael Alberti renuncia a ser diputado por el PCE.

What if the pay gap is not just something happening to women out there in the abstract - but something happening to you, right now, in the salary band your company set before you even walked in the door? Meghan Pierce has the data. Philadelphia women are more educated than their male counterparts. They are in the workforce in strong numbers. And in some industries, they are earning less than they were before. The headline number looks like progress. The real numbers, broken down by race, by industry, by education level, tell a different story. This episode is about both: what the data actually says and what you can do about it today.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROIf you have ever wondered whether the pay gap is actually real, or whether it applies to someone as educated and accomplished as you, Meghan Pierce has been waiting to answer that question. She is the first-ever President and CEO of the Forum of Executive Women, a Philadelphia-based organization with more than 600 senior women leaders that has been doing this work since 1977. She came to the role from the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, before that from policy work at New York City Hall and some of the country's most respected law firms. Every year, the Forum publishes two reports that are the only Philadelphia-specific research of their kind: the Women in Leadership Report, tracking female representation in the C-suite and boardroom, and the Pay Equity Report, which examines the gender pay gap by industry, education level, and race. This is not headline data. These are the numbers most people never see - and Meghan is here to make sure you cannot look away.INSIDE THE EPISODEThe Pay Gap Is Getting Worse - and Not for Who You Think. The overall gap is slowly closing for white women. But for women of color, it is widening. And in specific industries across Philadelphia - and nationally - it is moving in the wrong direction entirely. Meghan breaks down what the data actually shows and why the headline number is not the number you should be looking at.More Degrees. Less Pay. Women are taking on more student debt to get higher degrees and not seeing it translate into higher income. The education fix is not fixing the pay gap. Meghan explains why - and what actually does.What Erica Saw From Inside HR. As a Chief People Officer, Erica had access to the pay data most employees never see. She shares what she actually found - the RIF lists where every name was a woman, the salary band game, the moment she realized that 'that girl only asked for 80K, let's offer 75' was happening in real time - and what it taught her about how the gap gets built in from day one.The Sponsor vs. the Mentor. A mentor gives you advice. A sponsor says your name in rooms when you are not there. Meghan breaks down the difference, why having a sponsor is one of the most powerful things you can do to close your own pay gap, and what it actually takes to get one (hint: it is not asking for one).Women Are Afraid to Use AI at Work. And They're Not Wrong. Meghan's Forum has been tracking this: women are afraid to use AI at work for fear of getting in trouble. Erica confirms the data backs them up - men are more encouraged to experiment, women are judged more harshly when they do. And if the skills gap that creates compounds over time, the AI gap and the pay gap become the same gap.Nine Women CEOs Out of 100. That was the most Philadelphia had ever had in a single year. Not double digits. Nine. Meghan explains the structural, social, and policy barriers that keep women out of the top jobs - paid family leave, caretaking responsibilities, and the boards that keep picking people who look like the people who picked them.You Have Everything You Need Right Now. Meghan's advice to her younger self. Erica's response: what is meant for you will not miss you, girl.

Send us Fan MailDoes the ERA test actually improve your chance of pregnancy with IVF—or has endometrial receptivity testing been oversold?Patients often receive completely different advice. Some fertility specialists say the Endometrial Receptivity Analysis, or ERA, can identify a personalized window of implantation. Others say research has proven the test does not work. The truth is more complicated.In this episode, Dr. Mark Amols revisits ERA in light of newer randomized trials, meta-analyses, and research on recurrent implantation failure. He also examines statements from his earlier episodes—including why he would no longer confidently tell patients that an ERA “cannot hurt.”Topics include:How ERA attempts to identify the window of implantationWhether ERA improves live-birth rates during routine IVF treatmentWhat the major randomized trial actually foundWhether that trial was adequately poweredWhy the data do not support ERA before a routine or first embryo transferThe unresolved role of ERA after recurrent implantation failureWhy results differ between untested and euploid embryo transfersWhether changing transfer timing could potentially lower successConcerns about test accuracy and cycle-to-cycle endometrial variabilityWhen ERA might still be discussed as an optional, unproven interventionThe current evidence is reasonably clear for the average IVF patient: routine ERA testing does not improve live birth. For patients with repeated implantation failure—particularly after failed euploid embryo transfers—the answer remains uncertain because the adequately powered randomized trial needed to settle the question has not yet been completed.This episode separates what ERA has been proven to do, what it has been proven not to do, and what fertility medicine still does not know.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

In this podcast, Ogletree's Military Workforce Practice Group co-chairs Jay Patton (Birmingham) and Amy Glenos (Birmingham) examine the five most common pitfalls employers face military leave issues under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA). Amy and Jay cover a variety of topics from documentation missteps and paid leave disputes to reduction in force (RIF) decisions and reemployment position determinations. Drawing on real settlement figures and controlling case law, including the Supreme Court's escalator principle from Fishgold v. Sullivan Drydock, the speakers walk through practical guidance for handling both voluntary and involuntary military leave. The episode closes with a pop quiz on USERRA's statute of limitations, a detail that catches even experienced HR professionals off guard.

Ali Hackalife is talking with Omar Radi. Radi is a journalist and human rights activist from Morocco. In the episode they discuss Mass surveillance tools and practises used against Radi by the government. Radi talks about his work and reporting about the RIF movement and his time

L'historien Alain Ruscio présente l'histoire politique et culturelle du Maroc au temps de la colonisation française, objet de son dernier livre. La mémoire collective minimise souvent la violence subie par la société marocaine pendant ce demi-siècle de "protectorat"."La France va pouvoir porter librement au Maroc la civilisation, la richesse et la paix" : telle est la légende d'un dessin paru en 1911 en première page du Petit Parisien (Supplément illustré), où l'on voit une femme coiffée du bonnet phrygien, allégorie de la nation, tenant une corne d'abondance dont s'écoule un flot de pièces d'or sur des indigènes prosternés à ses pieds. Cette image typique de l'arrogance et de la bonne conscience colonisatrices figure en couverture de l'ouvrage récemment publié par l'historien Alain Ruscio, invité de ce 62e épisode de La grande H. "Le Maroc, faux protectorat, vraie colonie : fragments d'histoire, 1904-1956" : tel est le titre de ce livre riche en aperçus saisissants, plein de vie, en prise directe avec les sources textuelles et iconographiques. Alain Ruscio, éminent spécialiste, y propose une histoire culturelle de la domination française sur une territoire dont le statut de protectorat ne préservait en rien les populations de l'oppression coloniale, lot des "indigènes" au Maroc aussi bien qu'en Algérie et ailleurs en Afrique ou en Asie. On continue pourtant aujourd'hui à minimiser la violence subie par la société marocaine pendant ce demi-siècle de "protectorat".Dans cette conversation avec Julien Théry, Alain Ruscio revient sur certains des 26 chapitres thématiques de l'ouvrage, de la conférence d'Algésiras de 1906 (où les prédateurs européens attribuèrent à la France le "protectorat" sur le Maroc) à la lutte pour l'indépendance (finalement arrachée en 1956 à un gouvernement français trop occupé par l'insurrection algérienne pour être en mesure d'ouvrir un autre front au Maghreb), en passant par la figure de Jean Jaurès, auteur d'un livre dénonçant le Guêpier marocain, la solidarité des ouvriers et de certains intellectuels français avec les colonisés pendant la Guerre du Rif, ou encore le virtuose du football Larbi Ben Marek, intégré à l'équipe de France mais objet du racisme ordinaire. 

What happens when the systems built to protect you… fail you?In this powerful episode of Wellness Wahala, we take a deep dive into Chapter 7: Standing in Truth When Systems Break You Down—a raw and unfiltered conversation about betrayal, resilience, and reclaiming your voice when everything you trusted collapses.This episode is both personal and global.After nearly two decades of service at the CDC—from fellow to consultant contractor to full-time employee—this year marks a full-circle moment. As the CDC celebrates its 80-year anniversary, I share my lived experience navigating purpose, public health, and the painful reality of being impacted by a mass federal layoff (RIF).This is more than a career story.This is a truth-telling moment about systems, service, and survival.We also unpack:✨ The emotional and spiritual lessons from Chapter 7✨ What it means to stand in truth during betrayal and breakdown✨ The paradox of serving systems that don't always protect their own✨ Frontline insights from Ebola outbreak responses✨ Ongoing domestic and global public health crises✨ How to maintain your identity, purpose, and wellness in the face of institutional failureFrom personal heartbreak to public health emergencies, this episode connects the dots between individual healing and systemic realities.If you've ever:* Felt let down by institutions you trusted* Given your all to a system that didn't give back* Had to rebuild your identity after loss, betrayal, or transitionThis conversation is for you.

AI didn't just change how we work — it raised everyone's vulnerability at the same time. In this episode, Junior and Dr. Tim Clark introduce "universal vulnerability": the reason psychological safety is surging back onto the executive agenda in 2026.Six years after The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety, organizations are coming back with a different problem statement. AI isn't a niche disruption that hits one industry at a time — it touches every role, unpredictably, all at once. And the deepest threat isn't technical, it's about identity: "Who am I now that machines can think?"Junior and Tim break down why psychological safety is the cultural precondition for AI adoption, why most organizations skip straight to workflow and miss the human impact, and how leaders can respond using the AI Readiness Hierarchy and the LIVE model. Even executive teams aren't immune — no one is.If you lead people through change, this is the conversation your AI strategy is missing.Chapters00:00 The "RIF culture" and a new wave of change00:53 Six years since The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety02:32 What "universal vulnerability" actually means03:19 Psychological safety as an individual journey03:50 How AI adds a universal layer of vulnerability04:56 Why every role gets touched — and why it's unpredictable08:26 The real threat: identity disruption, not technical disruption10:00 The AI Readiness Hierarchy (from Chapter 5)11:09 Measuring vulnerability with the PS Index12:50 Psychological safety: the cultural precondition for AI adoption13:22 The "leapfrog to workflow" mistake14:12 The LIVE model: Look, Identify, Validate, Encourage15:18 Why the sequence matters18:26 Why executive teams aren't immune either19:41 Naming the exhaustion — and giving people permission to feel it20:22 Where to go next: the book and course previewsResources

The Education Department's Office of the Chief Information Officer lost more than half of its staff in early 2025 during the Trump administration's reduction-in-force campaign, leaving some suboffices completely empty, the agency's Office of the Inspector General found in a report issued Monday. The OIG used Microsoft Office and Teams to track down who was subject to the RIF during the first nearly ten weeks of President Donald Trump's second term, finding it gutted 40% or 1,579 of the agency's workers in total. The OIG said it was presented with a scope limitation for the review due to the department not providing all requested information or giving unfettered access to Department staff, which limited its ability to fully address the review objective. Specifically in the CIO's office, the OIG counted 44 remaining employees of the 92 employed in January 2025 — a 52% reduction. About 8% of all separated employees in the agency were in IT management, it found, and about $6 million in OCIO contracts were terminated as part of the Department of Government Efficiency's massive agency reorganization campaign in early 2025. Suboffices within the OCIO that are statutorily required to oversee all departmental operational enterprise IT infrastructures and software, develop IT investment performance measures and conduct security reviews mandated by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act have no remaining employees, the report said. NASA issued a long-awaited list of awardees for the latest iteration of a multibillion-dollar cross-government IT acquisition vehicle, moving the large-scale contract forward. In a brief notice on Monday, the agency said it would start processing the awards for the sixth generation of its Solutions for Enterprise‑wide Procurement contract, known as SEWP VI. It also disclosed more than 2,100 awardees across three categories: IT solutions, enterprise-wide IT services, and mission-based IT services. Among the hundreds of awardees, the list includes IBM, Leidos, KPMG, Carahsoft Technology Corp., Peraton, REI Systems, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), CACI, Cherokee Nation Government Solutions, Amivero and Guidehouse. All of the awards are indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, with a 10-year ordering period and a maximum ordering value of $20 billion. The contract period begins Nov. 1 and will run through October 2036. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

El 4 de Enero de 1921, en un discurso leído ante el parlamento, Alfonso XIII hacía referencia al problema de Marruecos. En su disertación, España se había comprometido en una misión civilizadora en este país norteafricano, valiéndose de un ejército “abnegado y heroico” dirigido por un mando cualificado combinado con “la más eficaz acción política”. Observaba que el conflicto estaba en vías de resolución; trayendo como resultado, la finalización de pérdidas humanas y económicas. En el mismo discurso abordaba la reforma del ejército: en términos de aminorar su presupuesto, reducción a dos años el periodo de servicio en filas, y conseguir mejorar la instrucción militar de sus miembros. A tenor de lo expresado por la Corona, nada hacía presagiar el descalabro que se iba a producir en el verano del mismo año, en la zona del Rif. Es más, se puede interpretar que el desenlace estaba próximo y favorable a los intereses españoles. Lo cierto era que, las expectativas estaban muy alejadas de lo que iba a ser la realidad.

  Après le match perdu contre la France la semaine dernière, les Lions de la Téranga se sont cette fois heurtés aux Norvégiens. « Une nuit cauchemardesque », titre le Soleil.  Des Lions piégés par leurs erreurs défensives, juge Dakar Actu. « Pour le Sénégal, cette défaite laisse beaucoup de regrets », estime le site, qui trouve que les Sénégalais ont montré de l'envie, surtout en seconde période, mais que leurs erreurs défensives leur ont coûté très cher. Trop d'approximations, pour Dakar Actu.  « Le Sénégal voit la qualification s'éloigner », juge Sénéplus. Mais le site Senego veut encore y croire. Il nous explique par quels moyens les Lions de la Teranga peuvent encore espérer se qualifier pour les huitièmes de finale. Car oui, malgré deux défaites et zéro point, c'est encore possible. Les huit meilleurs troisièmes des douze groupes ont une place en huitièmes, mais pour y parvenir, résume Senego, il faudra une victoire, de préférence large, contre l'Irak. Ce sera vendredi soir.  Opération assainissement à Kinshasa  Des bottes jaunes, une combinaison bleue. Une autre équipe a déferlé sur Kinshasa. Ils sont déjà 600 bâtisseurs de la Nation arrivés dans la capitale congolaise. Au total, ils seront 4 000. Leur mission : « participer au vaste chantier d'assainissement de la ville, sous la supervision du Service national », explique Radio Okapi. Une « task force » composée d'anciens Kulunas, des « bandits urbains ».  Le chef de cette task force, le lieutenant-général Jean-Pierre Kasongo Kabwik, les dit bien préparés. Il demande à chacun de les juger sur les résultats.  Le site Beto.cd souligne toutefois l'ampleur de la tâche qui attend ces bâtisseurs. « Une campagne de 90 jours, même menée par 5 000 hommes, se mesure à un gouffre. Kinshasa produit chaque jour quelque 8 400 tonnes de déchets, dont un quart seulement est collecté », explique le site, qui semble quelque peu circonspect. Il rappelle qu'il y a déjà eu un certain nombre d'opérations de nettoyage par le passé, et conclut ainsi : « L'assainissement de Kinshasa est un test qui mesure la capacité d'un État à transformer un coup d'éclat en politique publique.

El 4 de Enero de 1921, en un discurso leído ante el parlamento, Alfonso XIII hacía referencia al problema de Marruecos. En su disertación, España se había comprometido en una misión civilizadora en este país norteafricano, valiéndose de un ejército “abnegado y heroico” dirigido por un mando cualificado combinado con “la más eficaz acción política”. Observaba que el conflicto estaba en vías de resolución; trayendo como resultado, la finalización de pérdidas humanas y económicas. En el mismo discurso abordaba la reforma del ejército: en términos de aminorar su presupuesto, reducción a dos años el periodo de servicio en filas, y conseguir mejorar la instrucción militar de sus miembros. A tenor de lo expresado por la Corona, nada hacía presagiar el descalabro que se iba a producir en el verano del mismo año, en la zona del Rif. Es más, se puede interpretar que el desenlace estaba próximo y favorable a los intereses españoles. Lo cierto era que, las expectativas estaban muy alejadas de lo que iba a ser la realidad.

  Après le match perdu contre la France la semaine dernière, les Lions de la Téranga se sont cette fois heurtés aux Norvégiens. « Une nuit cauchemardesque », titre le Soleil.  Des Lions piégés par leurs erreurs défensives, juge Dakar Actu. « Pour le Sénégal, cette défaite laisse beaucoup de regrets », estime le site, qui trouve que les Sénégalais ont montré de l'envie, surtout en seconde période, mais que leurs erreurs défensives leur ont coûté très cher. Trop d'approximations, pour Dakar Actu.  « Le Sénégal voit la qualification s'éloigner », juge Sénéplus. Mais le site Senego veut encore y croire. Il nous explique par quels moyens les Lions de la Teranga peuvent encore espérer se qualifier pour les huitièmes de finale. Car oui, malgré deux défaites et zéro point, c'est encore possible. Les huit meilleurs troisièmes des douze groupes ont une place en huitièmes, mais pour y parvenir, résume Senego, il faudra une victoire, de préférence large, contre l'Irak. Ce sera vendredi soir.  Opération assainissement à Kinshasa  Des bottes jaunes, une combinaison bleue. Une autre équipe a déferlé sur Kinshasa. Ils sont déjà 600 bâtisseurs de la Nation arrivés dans la capitale congolaise. Au total, ils seront 4 000. Leur mission : « participer au vaste chantier d'assainissement de la ville, sous la supervision du Service national », explique Radio Okapi. Une « task force » composée d'anciens Kulunas, des « bandits urbains ».  Le chef de cette task force, le lieutenant-général Jean-Pierre Kasongo Kabwik, les dit bien préparés. Il demande à chacun de les juger sur les résultats.  Le site Beto.cd souligne toutefois l'ampleur de la tâche qui attend ces bâtisseurs. « Une campagne de 90 jours, même menée par 5 000 hommes, se mesure à un gouffre. Kinshasa produit chaque jour quelque 8 400 tonnes de déchets, dont un quart seulement est collecté », explique le site, qui semble quelque peu circonspect. Il rappelle qu'il y a déjà eu un certain nombre d'opérations de nettoyage par le passé, et conclut ainsi : « L'assainissement de Kinshasa est un test qui mesure la capacité d'un État à transformer un coup d'éclat en politique publique. Dans 90 jours, les caniveaux seront curés ou rebouchés. La vraie question est de savoir ce qu'il en restera au 91e jour ».

He uses one for himself and the other one is meant for his son. However, his son prefers to daven elsewhere and rarely sits in his seat. Shimon notices the empty seat and begins to sit there every week. Eventually, Reuven tells him that since he is using the seat, he should pay for it. Is Reuven correct? Answer: This would seem like a case of zeh neheneh v'zeh lo chaseir. Since Shimon is not causing Reuven a loss, it would seem that he should be patur.The Gemara says that two conditions must be met in order to make someone pay for a hana'ah that he receives. 1. The owner must be having a loss in the sense that he could rent out the property being used if the other person wasn't there. In this case, since Reuven cannot sell the other seat, he would not be able to charge for its use. 2. The person having hana'ah can only be obligated to pay for something that would otherwise pay for. In this case, that would mean that Shimon would have to be the type of person who would pay for another seat if this one wasn't available. Whereas, if he is the type of person who wouldn't pay for a seat and would just stand in the back if there was no free seat available, the Gemara implies that he could not be obligated to pay.  Going forward, if Reuven continues to pay for the seat and he wants to use it to put down his talis bag or his coat and hat, he may prevent Shimon from sitting there in the future because he needs the seat for himself. Still, because Shimon is not considered a nehene because he wouldn't pay for a seat in any case, he may not be able to charge him for sitting there.However, practically speaking, although the Gemara implies to say that one can only charge the person having hana'ah if he is the type of person who would pay for such a benefit, the Poskim rule like the opinion of the Rif that this condition does not need to be met and one can charge someone for using something that is theirs and causing them a loss even if the person would not have been willing to pay for such hana'ah. 

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, Dr. Jenna Turocy is joining me to talk about new treatment options for recurrent implantation failure. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is determined when embryos of good quality fail to implant following several in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycles. The good news is that there is treatment for this, and Dr. Turocy has been researching it. The types of treatments that Dr. Jenna has studied include:

There is a custom that some observe to read the section of the Ketoret from a piece of parchment upon which the text of the Ketoret is written in ink and in the same format as in a Sefer Torah. I was exposed to this custom for the first time when praying with Hacham Ovadia Yosef. When the time came for the recitation of the Ketoret, his assistant brought him a parchment from which the Hacham read the Ketoret. This custom is mentioned by Rav Haim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1868), both in Kaf Ha'haim and in Ru'ah Haim. It appears also earlier, in Seder Ha'yom (Rav Moshe Ben Machir, Safed, 16 th century). These works emphasize the great value and benefit of observing this custom, how it brings wealth and prosperity – just as the Kohen who offered the Ketoret in the Bet Ha'mikdash was blessed with wealth. However, this custom is subject to a great deal of controversy. The majority view among the Rishonim – a position held by both the Rambam and the Rosh – forbids writing a portion of the Torah on parchment. This is based on the Gemara's discussion in Masechet Gittin (60a), where we read that Rabba explicitly forbade writing a portion of the Torah on parchment for a child to study from. By contrast, the Rif (Rav Yishak Alfasi, Morocco, 1013-1103) ruled that it is permissible to write a portion of the Torah on parchment. Maran (author of the Shulhan Aruch), in Bet Yosef, reconciles the Rif's lenient ruling with the Gemara's discussion in Masechet Gittin by noting that other Amoraim disagreed with Rabba's ruling. They allowed writing a small portion of Torah on parchment as this became necessary to ensure the continuity of Torah, that it will not be forgotten. However, despite Maran's defense of the Rif's position in Bet Yosef, in the Shulhan Aruch he follows the stringent opinion of the Rambam and the Rosh. And, generally speaking, when we find conflicting rulings in the Bet Yosef and Shulhan Aruch, it is assumed that the ruling in the Shulhan Aruch – Maran's later work – is the more authoritative position, and should be followed. It would thus seem that one may not write the section of the Ketoret on parchment, or hire a Sofer to do so. By contrast, numerous Ashkenazic Poskim ruled leniently. The Bayit Hadash (Rav Yoel Sirkis, Poland, 1561-1640) writes that the custom is to allow writing sections of the Torah on parchment, and this is the view also of the Shach (Rav Shabtai Ha'kohen, 1621-1662), the Taz (Rav David Segal, 1586-1667), and other Ashkenazic authorities. In modern times, this view was accepted by the Hazon Ish (Rav Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, 1878-1953). The famous "Lederman Shul" in Bnei-Brak, where Rav Chaim Kanievsky (1928-2022) would pray, features on the wall a large piece of parchment with the Ketoret section, following the lenient ruling of the Hazon Ish. Accordingly, Hacham Ovadia ruled that if a Sepharadi wishes to observe this custom, he must purchase the parchment specifically from an Ashkenazic Sofer, as preparing such a parchment is allowed by Ashkenazic Poskim, but forbidden for Sepharadim because of the Shulhan Aruch's stringent ruling. A number of Sephardic Poskim disagreed with Hacham Ovadia on this point. Most notably, Rav Moshe Levi (1961-2000), in his Tefila Le'Moshe, writes that the Shulhan Aruch forbids writing a small portion of the Torah on parchment only because this is disrespectful to the Torah. However, writing the entire section of the Ketoret, which includes the Gemara's discussion elucidating the Biblical text, is not in any way disrespectful, and is thus permissible even according to the Shulhan Aruch. Others note the practice among Kabbalists to pray from texts written on parchment that included passages from the Torah – thus demonstrating that the Shulhan Aruch's stringent ruling was not accepted. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the custom to recite the Ketoret from a text written on parchment appears already in Seder Ha'yom – a work by a contemporary of Maran. Some have pointed to this source as further evidence that the Shulhan Aruch's stringent ruling was not necessarily accepted. Regardless, in light of Hacham Ovadia's ruling, it is proper for a Sepharadi who wishes to observe this custom to purchase the parchment from an Ashkenazic Sofer. If, however, a Sephardic Sofer prepared such a parchment, it may be used.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.What happens when an employee stands up against discrimination, only to find themselves facing wrongful termination? Join us as we uncover the intricate world of employment law in Montana, where the rules around termination for cause are different from most states. In this episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, Mark Carey, a seasoned employment attorney, takes you on a journey through the complexities of the Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act (WDEA). Unlike the at-will employment doctrine that dominates the landscape in the U. S. , Montana mandates that employers must have good cause for termination after the probationary period ends. Mark shines a spotlight on the compelling case of Robert Eaton v. Montana Silversmiths, a poignant example of the challenges employees face in proving wrongful discharge claims. After bravely reporting harassment and discrimination, Eaton found himself terminated during a reduction in force (RIF). This episode dives deep into the legal battles that ensued, revealing the hurdles Eaton faced against a well-structured corporate defense. We explore the implications of the WDEA, emphasizing the critical importance of proper HR procedures, meticulous documentation, and fostering a supportive workplace culture. As we navigate through Eaton's story, we discuss how the nuances of employment law can significantly impact employee rights, especially in cases involving discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environments. Mark provides invaluable insights into the importance of understanding your rights as an employee and the legal protections available to you, including how to negotiate severance packages and what to do if you find yourself facing termination for cause. This episode is not just about legal jargon; it's about empowering employees to advocate for themselves in the workplace. Whether you're dealing with workplace harassment, discrimination based on gender, race, or disability, or simply trying to understand your employment contract, this episode is packed with essential tips and strategies for navigating the often murky waters of employment law. Tune in to learn how to protect your rights, negotiate effectively, and survive the challenges of the modern work environment. Your career, your rights, and your survival matter—let's dive in!  If you enjoyed this episode of the Employee Survival Guide please like us on Facebook, X and LinkedIn.  We would really appreciate if you could leave a review of this podcast on your favorite podcast player such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Twenty-five years later, he got laid off at 48 — part of a 1,500-person RIF — with five daughters, a mortgage, and no plan B. Three months in, they pitched their first investor. He told them they were idiots and hung up. That call is the reason Optigy exists in its current form.   Steve and his co-founders rebuilt the company in 48 hours. No clients, only partners. No vendor relationships, no race to the bottom, no "send us reqs and we'll send you names." It cost them roughly $3.5M in walked-away deals in year one. It also got them in a room with one of the largest healthcare organizations in the country, where they built the first physician healthcare recruitment team in the ACO space — on a $400 website, an ATS they didn't own, and a phone they hadn't bought yet.   Year one: $1.1M off six months of real building. Year two: $3.7M. Year three, closing January 2027, on track for $19.4M. 53 partners, 84% close rate, only two partners lost in two years. A private equity deal closed December 2025 that changed what's possible from here. This episode is the operator's playbook behind that arc. Why "partners, not clients" isn't marketing — it's a P&L decision. What broke in Q1 of year two when the credit card bills came due. What Steve learned in-house at a company that saved his life five months after a heart attack he didn't see coming.

¡Saludos, estrategas! Bienvenidos al cuartel general de BELLUMARTIS. Hoy nos ponemos las espuelas para realizar una carga de honestidad radical contra uno de los mayores mitos de la historia militar: la supuesta muerte de la caballería en 1914. De la mano del historiador Ismael López, autor de "Sables al viento" (Ático de Historia), recorremos el siglo que transformó al jinete. Desde el desastre de Balaclava hasta los últimos galopes en las estepas rusas de 1945, descubrimos un arma que se negó a desaparecer y que fue vital en terrenos donde el motor simplemente fallaba. En este análisis de vanguardia exploraremos: La Evolución (1860-1914): Cómo la Guerra de Secesión y las campañas coloniales crearon al "infante montado". ️ El Sacrificio de Alcántara: La gesta heroica en el Rif que salvó un ejército. Análisis táctico del desastre de Annual. ️ La Tormenta de Acero: ¿Qué hizo la caballería en la Gran Guerra? Desmontamos el mito del alambre de espino. ⚔️ Guerra Civil y WWII: Los sables en Guadalajara, las cargas de la Caballería Roja y por qué los caballos fueron los mejores aliados de la logística alemana y soviética hasta Berlín. En Bellumartis no nos quedamos con el relato oficial. Analizamos el espíritu, la técnica y la sangre de quienes mantuvieron el sable al viento cuando el mundo ya olía a gasolina. ¡Suscríbete y defiende la historia con nosotros!

En este episodio de El Café de la Lluvia, conversamos con el historiador Roberto Muñoz Bolaños sobre su obra Alhucemas: el desembarco que decidió la guerra de Marruecos, un estudio fundamental para comprender uno de los episodios más decisivos del siglo XX español. A lo largo de la entrevista, exploramos los intereses históricos de España en Marruecos desde el siglo XIX, el conflicto entre políticos y militares, y el profundo rechazo social que generó la guerra, marcado por el sistema de cuotas y las desigualdades en el servicio militar. Analizamos también la figura de Abdel Krim, su proyecto de República del Rif y su papel en el contexto de los movimientos anticoloniales. El episodio se detiene en el desembarco de Desembarco de Alhucemas, una operación que cambió el rumbo del conflicto gracias a innovaciones técnicas, decisiones estratégicas y factores imprevistos que resultaron clave para su éxito. Por último, reflexionamos sobre los llamados africanistas, su papel en la historia militar española y las razones por las que este episodio apenas se conmemora hoy en día. ☕ Hazte socio/a de El Café de la Lluvia y forma parte de nuestra comunidad: https://elcafedelalluvia.com/hazte-socio-a-de-el-cafe-de-la-lluvia/ Escúchanos y léenos en nuestra web: https://elcafedelalluvia.com/ ▶️ Suscríbete a nuestro canal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ElCafédelaLluvia Recibe nuestros contenidos en tu correo: https://elcafedelalluvia.com/suscripcion-newsletter/ Síguenos en redes sociales: Twitter: https://twitter.com/cafelluvia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elcafedelalluvia/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Cafedelalluvia Tu apoyo nos ayuda a seguir dando voz a la cultura, la literatura y el pensamiento crítico.

Miguel is joined by returning guest Adnan Husain, professor of Medieval Studies and Chair of Religious Studies at Queens College and host of The Adnan Husain Show and co-host of Guerilla History, to discuss the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran. Miguel and Adnan cover the strikes on oil infrastructure, Iran's responses targeting U.S. assets in Gulf states, and broader consequences for global energy prices and the petrodollar. Adnan argues the Trump administration expected a quick decapitation and social collapse, but Iran's society unified around defense amid expanding attacks on civilian infrastructure and assassinations of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani. Additionally, Miguel and Adnan link the war to sport, focusing on Iran's uncertain participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by the US, Mexico, and Canada. Iran, whose group matches will be in the US, contemplated boycotting the World Cup due to safety concerns and social media threats from President Trump. Lastly, Miguel and Adnan discuss the controversy over Australia offering asylum to Iran's women's football team, which later returned home. Note: This was recorded almost 3 weeks into the war. Links:* The Adnan Husain Show - Iran vs the Epstein Empire 11w/RIF and Bikrum Gill* Guerrilla History - The War on Iran w/ Nina Farnia & Navid Farnia * Iran urges FIFA to strip US of World Cup hosting by Al Mayadeen English * Iran sets Lebanon ceasefire as key condition in US talks by Al Mayadeen English * FIFA's Infantino: Iran Will Play World Cup In US by Margaret Fleming/Front Office Sports * Donate to the Comrade Brotha Amp Da Truth Miguel Garcia and Comrade E produced this episode.

Several weeks into the DHS shutdown, front‑line employees from TSA to the Coast Guard are working without pay as airport delays mount and families feel the strain. At the same time, the administration is accelerating major personnel changes, from Schedule Policy/Career conversions to new RIF rules that could redefine job security for tens of thousands of federal workers. We'll connect all of those threads now with John Hatton, Staff Vice President for Policy and Programs at NARFE.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oui, il est théoriquement possible de fabriquer du savon à partir de graisse humaine — mais cette réalité relève presque exclusivement de contextes criminels, historiques ou mythifiés, et non d'un usage courant ou acceptable. La chimie l'explique, l'histoire l'illustre, mais l'éthique et le droit l'interdisent formellement.Sur le plan strictement scientifique, le savon résulte d'une réaction appelée saponification : une graisse, quelle qu'elle soit, réagit avec une base alcaline pour produire du savon et de la glycérine. D'un point de vue chimique, la graisse humaine n'est pas fondamentalement différente de la graisse animale. Elle contient des triglycérides comparables à ceux du porc ou du bœuf. En laboratoire, la transformation est donc possible. Mais cette possibilité technique ne dit rien de sa réalité historique ou de sa fréquence.Le cas le plus célèbre est celui de Manuel Blanco Romasanta, surnommé le loup d'Allariz. Au milieu du XIXᵉ siècle, en Galice, cet homme est accusé d'avoir assassiné plusieurs personnes et d'avoir vendu leur graisse. Selon les témoignages de l'époque, il affirmait fabriquer des onguents et parfois du savon à partir de cette graisse, qu'il commercialisait comme produits médicinaux. Lors de son procès, ces accusations participent à sa réputation monstrueuse, entre crime réel et folklore macabre. Toutefois, aucune preuve matérielle formelle n'a permis de confirmer la fabrication effective de savon.Un autre exemple souvent évoqué concerne la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avec la rumeur persistante selon laquelle les nazis auraient fabriqué du savon à partir de corps humains dans les camps de concentration. Cette idée s'est largement répandue après-guerre. Les recherches historiques ont montré qu'il y eut des expérimentations limitées, notamment à l'institut anatomique de Dantzig, mais pas de production industrielle systématique. Le savon marqué « RIF » ne contenait pas de graisse humaine, contrairement à une croyance longtemps entretenue. Ici, le mythe est devenu un symbole de déshumanisation plus qu'un fait généralisé.On retrouve aussi des récits plus anciens, liés aux supplices judiciaires ou à la médecine pré-moderne, où la graisse humaine — souvent prélevée sur des corps exécutés — était utilisée pour fabriquer des baumes censés soigner douleurs ou rhumatismes. Là encore, le savon apparaît davantage dans les récits que dans les pratiques avérées.En résumé, oui, c'est chimiquement possible, et oui, des cas célèbres évoquent cette pratique, mais ils relèvent presque toujours de la marginalité criminelle, de l'expérimentation ponctuelle ou du mythe. La fabrication de savon à partir de graisse humaine n'a jamais été une pratique courante, et elle est aujourd'hui strictement interdite. Ce sujet fascine parce qu'il touche à une frontière troublante : celle où une connaissance banale devient insoutenable dès qu'elle s'applique au corps humain. Hébergé par Acast.

Bienvenue dans ce supplément du Grand reportage consacré aux peintures rupestres et au cannabis. À l'autre bout du continent, en Afrique australe, sa préhistoire. Encore bien cachées dans la nature, des grottes et des pierres portent les souvenirs des chasseurs cueilleurs. Il s'agit de gravures de peintures rupestres, la datation est imprécise mais on parle de milliers d'années. En 2è partie: le cannabis avec sa culture légale au Maroc, alternative à la production d'herbe, avec Matthias Raynal. Afrique australe : percer les secrets des peintures rupestres  En Afrique australe, cachée au cœur de la nature d'aujourd'hui, se trouve la mémoire des chasseurs cueilleurs d'hier. Les plus anciens habitants connus de la région ont laissé derrière eux une multitude de peintures rupestres sur les parois des grottes et les rochers. Des milliers de sites renferment ce patrimoine archéologique : au Zimbabwe, au Botswana, au Lesotho, ou encore en Afrique du Sud. Et on s'interroge sur l'âge, la signification de ces témoignages, et sur le mode de vie de ces sociétés anciennes. Un Grand reportage de Claire Bargelès qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Au royaume du cannabis, la révolution du chanvre légal  Le Maroc est réputé à travers le monde entier pour la qualité de sa résine de cannabis. C'est le plus gros producteur de la planète. Problème, jusque-là, seuls les narcotrafiquants en profitaient réellement, exploitant un terroir unique dans le nord du pays. À flanc de montagnes, dans le Rif, les champs de marijuana s'étendent à perte de vue. Il y a quelques années, l'idée a germé dans l'esprit des autorités : extirper cette économie de l'illicite et de l'informel, pour en faire une culture légale. Agriculteurs, coopératives de transformation, exportateurs, une nouvelle filière se déploie. Un Grand reportage de Matthias Raynal qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

En este episodio nos adentramos en la fascinante y contradictoria biografía de una de las figuras más determinantes del siglo XX español. Desde sus raíces en la aristocracia jerezana hasta su solitario final en un hotel de París, recorremos la vida de un militar que cambió el sable por el decreto para intentar "curar" a una nación en crisis. Analizamos cómo el trauma del Desastre de Annual y la corrupción del sistema de la Restauración abrieron la puerta a un "paréntesis curativo" que duró siete años. Un periodo marcado por el asfalto, los grandes monopolios y el brillo de las Exposiciones de 1929, pero también por la represión, la "Ley de Fugas" y el silencio de las libertades. En este capítulo descubrirás: La Herida de África: Cómo la tragedia de 10.000 soldados en el Rif forjó la mentalidad del futuro dictador.

Tchad : les derniers secrets du Sahara Le sud du Sahara : il abrite l'un des plus importants potentiels archéologiques d'Afrique. Dans le massif de l'Ennedi tout au nord du Tchad. Le paysage est époustouflant : cathédrales rocheuses, steppes de cailloutis et dunes... Mais au-dessous des cavités, foisonnent des peintures rupestres. Elles racontent l'histoire d'un Sahara Vert et humide, doté d'une belle population animale. C'était il y a entre 5 et 10 000 ans avant notre ère. L'intérêt pour cette époque est ravivé par l'actuel changement climatique et les questions sur la capacité de l'homme à s'adapter.

Ralph welcomes Professor Roddey Reid to break down his book “Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying: A Handbook for the Trump Era and Beyond.” Then, we are joined by the original Nader's Raider, Professor Robert Fellmeth, who enlightens us on how online anonymity and Artificial Intelligence are harming children.Roddey Reid is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego where he taught classes on modern cultures and societies in the US, France, and Japan. Since 2008 he has researched and published on trauma, daily life, and political intimidation in the US and Europe. He is a member of Indivisible.org San Francisco, and he hosts the blog UnSafe Thoughts on the fluidity of politics in dangerous times. He is also the author of Confronting Political Intimidation and Public Bullying: A Handbook for the Trump Era and Beyond.I think we still have trouble acknowledging what's actually happening. Particularly our established institutions that are supposed to protect us and safeguard us—many of their leaders are struggling with the sheer verbal and physical violence that's been unfurling in front of our very eyes. Many people are exhausted by it all. And it's transformed our daily life to the point that I think one of the goals is (quite clearly) to disenfranchise people such that they don't want to go out and participate in civic life.Roddey ReidWhat's broken down is…a collective response, organized group response. Now, in the absence of that, this is where No King's Day and other activities come to the fore. They're trying to restore collective action. They're trying to restore the public realm as a place for politics, dignity, safety, and shared purpose. And that's been lost. And so this is where the activists and civically engaged citizens and residents come in. They're having to supplement or even replace what these institutions traditionally have been understood to do. It's exhilarating, but it's also a sad moment.Roddey ReidRobert Fellmeth worked as a Nader's Raider from 1968 to 1973 in the early days of the consumer movement. He went on to become the Price Professor of Public Interest Law at the University of San Diego (where he taught for 47 years until his retirement early this year) and he founded their Children's Advocacy Institute in 1983. Since then, the Institute has sponsored 100 statutes and 35 appellate cases involving child rights, and today it has offices in Sacramento and DC. He is also the co-author of the leading law textbook Child Rights and Remedies.I think an easy remedy—it doesn't solve the problem totally—but simply require the AI to identify itself when it's being used. I mean, to me, that's something that should always be the case. You have a right to know. Again, free speech extends not only to the speaker, but also to the audience. The audience has a right to look at the information, to look at the speech, and to judge something about it, to be able to evaluate it. That's part of free speech.Robert FellmethNews 10/17/25* In Gaza, the Trump administration claims to have brokered a ceasefire. However, this peace – predicated on an exchange of prisoners – is extremely fragile. On Tuesday, Palestinians attempting to return to their homes were fired upon by Israeli soldiers. Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed those shot were “terrorists” whose attempts to “approach and cross [the Yellow Line] were thwarted.” Al Jazeera quotes Lorenzo Kamel, a professor of international history at Italy's University of Turin, who calls the ceasefire a “facade” and that the “structural violence will remain there precisely as it was – and perhaps even worse.” We can only hope that peace prevails and the Palestinians in Gaza are able to return to their land. Whatever is left of it.* Despite this ceasefire, Trump was denied in his bid for a Nobel Peace Prize. The prize instead went to right-wing Venezuelan dissident María Corina Machado. Democracy Now! reports Machado ran against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in 2023, but was “barred from running after the government accused her of corruption and cited her support for U.S. sanctions against Venezuela.” If elected Machado has promised to privatize Venezuela's state oil industry and move Venezuela's Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and in 2020, her party, Vente Venezuela, “signed a pact formalizing strategic ties with Israel's Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.” Machado has also showered praise on right-wing Latin American leaders like Javier Milei of Argentina and following her victory, praised Trump's “decisive support,” even telling Fox News that Trump “deserves” the prize for his anti-Maduro campaign, per the Nation.* Machado's prize comes within the context of Trump's escalating attacks on Venezuela. In addition to a fifth deadly strike on a Venezuelan boat, which killed six, the New York Times reports Trump has ordered his envoy to the country Richard Grenell to cease all diplomatic outreach to Venezuela, including talks with President Maduro. According to this report, “Trump has grown frustrated with…Maduro's failure to accede to American demands to give up power voluntarily and the continued insistence by Venezuelan officials that they have no part in drug trafficking.” Grenell had been trying to strike a deal with the Bolivarian Republic to “avoid a larger conflict and give American companies access to Venezuelan oil,” but these efforts were obviously undercut by the attacks on the boats – which Democrats contend are illegal under U.S. and international law – as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling Maduro a “fugitive from American justice,” and placing a $50 million bounty on his head. With this situation escalating rapidly, many now fear direct U.S. military deployment into Venezuela.* Meanwhile, Trump has already deployed National Guard troops to terrorize immigrants in Chicago. The Chicago Sun-Times reports Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope and a Chicago native, met with Chicago union leaders in Rome last week and urged them to take action to protect immigrants in the city. Defending poor immigrants is rapidly becoming a top priority for the Catholic Church. Pope Leo has urged American bishops to “speak with one voice” on the issue and this story related that “El Paso bishop Mark Seitz brought Leo letters from desperate immigrant families.” Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, also at the meeting with Leo and the union leaders, said that the Pope “wants us to make sure, as bishops, that we speak out on behalf of the undocumented or anybody who's vulnerable to preserve their dignity…We all have to remember that we all share a common dignity as human beings.”* David Ellison, the newly-minted CEO of Paramount, is ploughing ahead with a planned expansion of his media empire. His next target: Warner Bros. Discovery. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ellison already pitched a deal to WB CEO David Zaslav, but the $20 per share offer was rejected. However, Ellison is likely to offer a new deal “possibly…backed by his father Larry Ellison or a third party like Apollo [Global Management].” There is also talk that he could go directly to the WBD shareholders if the corporate leadership proves unresponsive. If Ellison is intent on this acquisition, he will need to move fast. Zaslav is planning to split the company into a “studios and HBO business,” and a Discovery business, which would include CNN. Ellison is clearly interested in acquiring CNN to help shape newsroom perspectives, as his recent appointment of Bari Weiss as “editor-in-chief” of CBS News demonstrates, so this split would make an acquisition far less of an attractive prospect. We will be watching this space.* In another Ellison-related media story, Newsweek reports Barron Trump, President Trump's 19-year-old son, is being eyed for a board seat at the newly reorganized Tik-Tok. According to this story, “Trump's former social media manager Jack Advent proposed the role at the social media giant, as it comes into U.S. ownership, arguing that the younger Trump's appointment could broaden TikTok's appeal among young users.” Barron is currently enrolled in New York University's Stern School of Business and serves as an “ambassador” for World Liberty Financial, the “Trump family's crypto venture.” TikTok U.S., formerly owned and operated by the Chinese company ByteDance, is being taken over by a “consortium of American investors [including Larry Ellison's] Oracle and investment firm Silver Lake Partners,” among others.* As the government shutdown drags on, the Trump administration is taking the opportunity to further gut the federal government, seeming to specifically target the offices protecting the most vulnerable. According to NPR, “all staff in the [Department of Education] Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), with the exception of a handful of top officials and support staff, were cut,” in a reduction-in-force or RIF order issued Friday. One employee is quoted saying “This is decimating the office responsible for safeguarding the rights of infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.” Per this report, OSERS is “responsible for roughly $15 billion in special education funding and for making sure states provide special education services to the nation's 7.5 million children with disabilities.” Just why exactly the administration is seeking to undercut federal support for disabled children is unclear. Over at the Department of Health and Human Services, headed by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., HHS sent out an RIF to “approximately 1,760 employees last Friday — instead of the intended 982,” as a “result of data discrepancies and processing errors,” NOTUS reports. The agency admitted the error in a court filing in response to a suit brought by the employees' unions. Even still, the cuts are staggering and include 596 employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and 125 at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, to name just a few. This report notes that other agencies, including the Departments of Justice, Treasury and Homeland Security all sent out inaccurately high RIFs as well.* The Lever reports Boeing, the troubled airline manufacturer, is fighting a new Federal Aviation Administration rule demanding additional inspections for older 737 series planes after regulators discovered cracks in their fuselages. The rule “would revise the inspection standards…through a regulatory action called an ‘airworthiness directive.'...akin to a product recall if inspectors find a defective piece of equipment on the plane…in [this case] cracks along the body of the plane's main cabin.” The lobbying group Airlines for America is seeking to weaken the rule by arguing that the maintenance checks would be too “costly” for the airline industry, who would ultimately have to bear the financial brunt of these inspections. Boeing is fighting them too because such a rule would make airlines less likely to buy Boeing's decaying airplanes. As this report notes, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy – who oversees the FAA – “previously worked as an airline lobbyist…[and] Airlines for America recently selected the former Republican Governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu to be their chief executive officer.”* In more consumer-related news, Consumer Reports has been conducting a series of studies on lead levels in various consumer products. Most recently, a survey of protein powders and shakes found “troubling levels of toxic heavy metals,” in many of the most popular brands. They write, “For more than two-thirds of the products we analyzed, a single serving contained more lead than CR's food safety experts say is safe to consume in a day—some by more than 10 times.” Some of these products have massively increased in heavy metal content just over the last several years. CR reports “Naked Nutrition's Vegan Mass Gainer powder, the product with the highest lead levels, had nearly twice as much lead per serving as the worst product we analyzed in 2010.” The experts quoted in this piece advise against daily use of these products, instead limiting them to just once per week.* Finally, in a new piece in Rolling Stone, David Sirota and Jared Jacang Maher lay out how conservatives are waging new legal campaigns to strip away the last remaining fig leaves of campaign finance regulation – and what states are doing to fight back. One angle of attack is a lawsuit targeting the restrictions on coordination between parties and individual campaigns, with House Republicans arguing that, “because parties pool money from many contributors, that ‘significantly dilutes the potential for any particular donor to exercise a corrupting influence over any particular candidate' who ultimately benefits from their cash.” Another angle is a lawsuit brought by P.G. Sittenfeld, the former Democratic mayor of Cincinnati – who has already been pardoned by Trump for accepting bribes – but is seeking to establish that “pay-to-play culture is now so pervasive that it should no longer be considered prosecutable.” However, the authors do throw out one ray of hope from an unlikely source: Montana. The authors write, “Thirteen years after the Supreme Court gutted the state's century-old anti-corruption law, Montana luminaries of both parties are now spearheading a ballot initiative circumventing Citizens United jurisprudence and instead focusing on changing state incorporation laws that the high court rarely meddles with.The measure's proponents note that Citizens United is predicated on state laws giving corporations the same powers as actual human beings, including the power to spend on politics. But they point out that in past eras, state laws granted corporations more limited powers — and states never relinquished their authority to redefine what corporations can and cannot do. The Montana initiative proposes to simply use that authority to change the law — in this case, to no longer grant corporations the power to spend on elections.” Who knows if this initiative will move forward in Montana, but it does provide states a blueprint for combatting the pernicious influence of Citizens United. States should and must act on it.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
