The White House’s immigration crackdown, the protests, the mobilization of the National Guard and Marines have all reignited the personal feud between President Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom, and the White House versus California. LAUSD officials are deploying school police to create "perimeters of safety” around graduation ceremonies and campuses where federal immigration agents have been detected.  ICE is looking to spend as much as $45 billion on private prisons and related infrastructure over the next two years. Border czar Tom Homan says he wants 100,000 detention beds. Kenny Scharf has painted mischievous-looking cartoons on about 300 cars, most of them in LA. He talks about making art accessible, plus his relationships with Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol. 

Hunger stalks the Green Mountains like a silent and stealthy predator. Two out of five people in Vermont experience hunger, according to Hunger Free Vermont. And the problem may soon get much worse.The Trump administration has proposed sweeping cuts to SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, the nation's largest food assistance program. The Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill passed by the House that includes billions of dollars in cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Up to 13,000 Vermonters may have their food assistance reduced or eliminated if the measure is approved. Many legal immigrants, including refugees and asylees, will no longer be eligible for food benefits, according to Ivy Enoch of Hunger Free Vermont.To find out what this means to the people who will be directly affected by the potential cuts, I visited the largest food shelf in central Vermont, located at Capstone Community Action in Barre. The food shelf is open three days a week. When I visited, a steady stream of people of all ages came through the doors, quietly but gratefully filling grocery bags of food. Volunteers buzzed about helping.Emmanuelle Soumailhan, coordinator for Capstone's food shelf, said that the food shelf gets about 800 to 1,000 visitors per month, double the traffic it received before the Covid pandemic. The potential for federal cuts has her concerned that “we're not going to have enough food and we're going to see a surge of people … (and) we're just going to run out of money.”Stephanie Doyle came to the food shelf to get food for her family. She said that her SNAP benefits did not cover her family's food needs for the month. “You just can't afford getting fruits and vegetables and all that stuff that you need to do to be healthy, especially when you have a child that you're taking care of.”Doyle wants to ensure that her teenage daughter is “fueled really well in school so that she has a chance to thrive and get a good education just like all of the other kids who have more.”Leslie Walz, a retired school nurse from Barre, was volunteering at the food shelf. She was outraged by the prospect that SNAP funding would be slashed.“I don't know what's going to happen to these people that are dependent on the food shelf here,” she said. “Many of them don't have a place to live. They're living out of their cars. They were living in motels. It's essential. It can't be cut, not if we have a heart.”Liz Scharf, director of community economic development and food security at Capstone, insisted that philanthropy and charity can not replace lost federal funds. She is hopeful that the most draconian cuts will be avoided.“I just hope that in the end we're a country that decides to make sure our people are cared for, rather than giving money to the highest wealth individuals in this country through tax breaks,” said Scharf.Disclosure: David Goodman's wife, Sue Minter, was the executive director of Capstone Community Action from December 2018 to January 2025.

Viele Schulen und Lehrkräfte stehen vor dem Problem: Eigentlich finden sie die Idee einer inklusiven Schzule grundsätzlich sinnvoll, aber nicht leistbar – im derzeitigen Schulalltag schon gar nicht. Friedo Scharf ist Sonderpädagoge aus Berlin. Er hinterfragt nicht nur das vorherrschende Verständnis von "Inklusion", sondern er hat die App SPLINT entwickelt. Sie kann die Schulen und Lehrpersonen bei dieser Aufgabe deutlich entlasten und führt indirekt zu einer positiveren Haltung gegenüber den Schülerinnen und Schülern.

Scharf, Antonia www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Rang 1

In this episode of the Engage & Equip podcast, Dr. Greg Scharf, former chair of preaching and practical theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, discusses the mutual responsibilities between church congregations and their pastoral leadership. He explores what believers should expect from their pastors, how to properly encourage and support them, and what not to expect - emphasizing that pastors can't excel at everything or be everyone's best friend. Dr. Scharf also addresses the current challenges in pastoral leadership, recommends essential books for elder candidates, and shares wisdom on the vetting process for potential church leaders. Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.Find more episodes at highpointchurch.org/podcastMusic: HOME—We're Finally Landing, Nosebleed, If I'm Wrong (https://midwestcollective.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-night)

In dieser Folge starten wir kulinarisch mild: Jana hat Tofu-Curry mit Reis verspeist – „nicht so scharf“, aber dafür umso wohliger. Danach juckt's gewaltig – im wahrsten Sinne! Denn wir sprechen über Grasmilben. Was ist das überhaupt? Warum hat man nach dem im Gartenliegen plötzlich Pusteln? Und hilft eventuell Alkohol dagegen? Tja – hört rein, wir verraten's euch. Ramon ist im Retro-Fieber: Er hat „Britt –  der Talk“ wiederentdeckt. Wir reisen zurück in die 2000er und feiern die goldene Ära der deutschen Talkshows: Arabella, Nicole, Bärbel Schäfer (die Legende!), Ricky Harris und natürlich: „Mark mit dem Silberkoffer“ – sagt euch das noch was? Ihr werdet verwundert sein, was einem da alles aus dieser Zeit einfällt. Dazu werfen wir einen Blick auf die aktuellen ADAC-Pannenstatistiken 2024: Warum bleiben Autos liegen und wie oft muss der ADAC Pannendienst ausrücken? Und was wären eure Fragen, wenn ihr einem Star nur eine einzige Frage stellen dürftet? Also hört rein und let's talk together! Ach so, und unser absolutes Highlight: Jana meint sie hatten schon ein Auto, als das Licht noch nicht elektrisch war .... :)

This week, Pastor Nic is joined by Dr. Greg Scharf, former chair of preaching and homiletics at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, as they discuss the biblical nature of pastoral ministry. Dr. Scharf unpacks the interchangeable New Testament terms of elder, overseer, and pastor, explaining how these roles overlap in Scripture despite later church traditions creating hierarchical distinctions. They go into the practical duties of church elders (feeding the flock through teaching, prayer, discipleship, and visitation), qualifications for eldership, how churches should develop and train potential leaders, and the relationship between congregational authority and external accountability structures. Dr. Scharf shares wisdom from his decades of pastoral experience, including a successful two-year elder training program he developed, recommended resources for spiritual development, and insights on current challenges facing pastors in today's divisive cultural climate. This episode offers valuable biblical and practical guidance for church leaders and members seeking to understand and support healthy church governance. Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.Find more episodes at highpointchurch.org/podcastMusic: HOME—We're Finally Landing, Nosebleed, If I'm Wrong (https://midwestcollective.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-night)

They called it the Lover's Chair—a windswept ledge perched high above the Hudson River. Locals said it was a place for connection, for reflection. For romance. But one September night in 1992, it became something else entirely. A man walked away from that cliffside claiming his wife had fallen. No one saw it happen. No one heard her scream. And for years, no one asked the right questions. But when they finally did, a very different story began to unfold.Please listen, for free,  to this episode of Twisted Travel and True Crime on your favorite podcast app or use one of the links provided below.Links to listen:Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/twisted-travel-and-true-crime/id1540997008?i=1000499228231Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3xTxVbRfNIDA2UC7XD1bhIhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domestic_violence_hotlines

This episode looks at On the Waterfront, the celebrated 1954 American film directed by Elia Kazan and written by Budd Schulberg. The film stars Marlon Brando as the ex-prize fighter turned New Jersey longshoreman Terry Malloy. Malloy struggles to stand up to mob-affiliated union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) after Malloy is lured into setting up a fellow dockworker whom Friendly has murdered to prevent him from testifying before the Waterfront Crime Commission about violence and corruption at the docks. The pressure on Malloy rises as he falls in love with Edie Doyle (Eva Marie Saint), the murdered dockworker's sister, and as Edie, along with local priest Father Pete Barry (Karl Malden), urge Malloy to do the right thing. Malloy ultimately testifies against Friendly and challenges Friendly's leadership at great personal risk. While the film is about a courageous fight against a corrupt power structure and injustice, it is also influenced by director Elia Kazan's own controversial decision to act as an informant against fellow directors, writers, and actors during the McCarthy-era Red Scare.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction2:20      Corruption on the docks9:18       Boxing: I could have been a contender17:07     The priest on the waterfront23:44    Testifying before waterfront crime commission32:10     Informants34:48    Elia Kazan and the House Un-American Activities Committee47:04    The film's relevance today48:39    Some people who stood up to HUAC50:40   Separating the art and the artistFurther reading:Demeri, Michelle J., “The ‘Watchdog' Agency: Fighting Organized Crime on the Waterfront in New York and New Jersey,” 38 New Eng.

Warane im Park, Hotpot mit neurologischer Wirkung und sehr viele freundlich, lächelnde Menschen – Bangkok kann was! In dieser Folge erzählen wir von Streetfood, das wir lieber fotografiert als gegessen haben, von Smog, Verkehr und der Kunst, trotzdem Ruhe zu finden. In Tempeln mit Gärten erfahren wir Achtsamkeit und Stille. Im 15.000-Stände-Markt, kommen wir an unsere Grenzen. Bangkok ist wie ein explodiertes Gewürzregal – nichts für schwache Nerven. Wer's aber bunt, würzig und warm mag, wird es lieben! Ein Streifzug durch Smog, Spiritualität und Sinnesrausch – und ein bisschen Schweiß. Warum Essen ein emotionales Abenteuer sein kann, warum Städte schlecht für die seelische Gesundheit sind, kleine Ruhe-Inseln aber helfen, warum man nicht jede Frucht probieren sollte und was der absolute Trend der Bangkokianer ist...

Toni und Felix haben sich das CL-Viertelfinal-Hinspiel Arsenal vs. Real angesehen. Und was sollen wir sagen? Nichts hätte sich Toni sehnlicher gewünscht, als positiv über seinen alten Verein und dessen gewohnten magischen Realismus in CL-Finalrunden zu sprechen. Aber da muss er sich heute strecken… Denn die Gunners haben die Königlichen mit 3:0 besiegt und damit ganz schön unter Zugzwang gesetzt fürs Rückspiel in acht Tagen. Laut Toni ist gestern Abend bei den Weltklasse-Freistößen von Declan Rice sogar Jessy aus dem Sofa-Sessel gegangen. Fürs Rückspiel braucht es also eine gehörige Portion Bernabeu-Magic, gerade weil eine Brechstange wie Benzema für solche Momente jetzt fehlt. Und sonst? Sport-und-Politik-Lehrer Marco hat angerufen und mit den beiden über Torhüter geplaudert, Felix hat mit Traumzeiten von seinem ersten Halbmarathon angegeben und wenn man ganz genau hinhört, hat er Toni um ein Haar dazu überredet, mit ihm im September in Berlin über die ganze Distanz zu gehen.

I'm just going to stop saying ‘ESG.' But the idea that for my basic product, I want to be water positive, I want to have a circular economy on my packaging, and I want to grow our business with less sugar—you can call it anything you like, but no one with common sense says those are bad ideas.“My business strategy is constant and clear and centered around the business and the things that consumers care about and that fix societal problems. If people want to attach labels to it, that's their issue. I'm saying this business will be great if I fix these problems, and it will be good for shareholders and be good for society.”Coca-Cola's Lead Independent Director and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee chair Maria Elena Lagomasino: maybe some of the woke messaging of Disney movies altered her conscience?Female board power at Coke: 49% influenceMATT1Ryder's $2.5M Settlement Brings 4-Year Governance Overhaul: What's Changing for Shareholders - suit alleged Ryder's management team and board artificially inflated the values of certain Ryder assets and made materially misleading statements regarding those values - suit alleged breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets.

Dmitri Stockton is BLACK and Robert Sanchez SOUNDS MEXICAN!US Steel Flags Trump DEI Order as Risk Factor for InvestorsRacist old white guys and tech bros! The order was written, ostensibly, by Stephen Miller, Trump, and Musk, the three horseman of the brownpocolypse, and US Steel is now including Trump's DEI order as a material risk to the companyThe lawyers! The company said in its annual report last year that it aims “to have an engaged and diverse workforce to promote new ideas and innovation, reflect the communities where we operate, and deliver exceptional customer service.” This year, that same sentence omitted a reference to having a “diverse” workforce. That sounds like Duane D. Holloway, chief ethics and compliance officer and general counsel, right?DEI! Duane Holloway… is BLACK! Mr. Holloway serves on the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Gilman School. He also serves as Executive Sponsor of U. S. Steel's SteelPARENTS Employee Resource Group. That all sounds exceedingly woke and DEIish.The board! US Steel managed to find 8 white males for their 12 person board, 3 white woman, and 1 black woman… so people of color have a whopping 6% influence on the board. It DOES feel risky to talk about them though, right?Walgreens stock plunges. Its dividend payout changes are to blameRoz Brewer! She was a DEI hire after all, right?

Send us a textEpisode 43 takes us to the beautiful Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture to speak with guest, Lauren Scharf. Lauren and her husband live in a 117 year old ‘kominka' (farmhouse / folkhouse), a home they have restored themselves and as such, they are part of an enthusiastic community of ‘minka' owners across Japan. In support of that community, Lauren is also on the board of the Minka Preservation Society, an organisation dedicated to the conservation of Japan's wonderful heritage and historic homes, backed by a passionate community of like-minded owners. Extending 100km into the Sea of Japan, Noto Peninsula is known for its rugged coastline, overall beauty, traditional craft, abundant seafood and slower pace of life. In the first part of the interview, Lauren and I discuss life on Noto Peninsula, how she and her husband came to acquire their home and the renovations they have done. Conversation then moves onto the Minka Preservation Society before discussing the major earthquake that struck Noto on New Years Day 2024, and the ongoing impact of that event.If this episode is of interest to you, you might also like to listen to earlier episodes including 2, 22 and 31 in which I also spoke with kominka owners about their experience purchasing, renovating and living in their homes.

Bullying is a real problem in the legal profession impacting recruitment, retention, and even driving lawyers out of the field. Guests Stephanie Scharf and Bobbi Liebenberg, through The Red Bee Group consulting firm, co-authored a report commissioned by the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism titled “Bullying in the Legal Profession: A Study of Illinois Lawyers' Experiences and Recommendations for Change.” We've heard anecdotes about bullying in the legal profession, but while anecdotes get some attention or raise eyebrows, they don't drive change. That takes data. The study produced by Liebenberg and Scharf produced a mountain of compelling data through a survey of more than 6,000 Illinois attorneys. The shocking result: One in four lawyers surveyed reporting bullying. Numbers don't lie, bullying in the legal profession happens. A lot. Bullying is more than incivility and rudeness. It involves power imbalances, intimidation, humiliation, and control. Sometimes it's even physical. The study delivers a deep dive into a problem that has received little to no formal examination. Bullying impacts every field and lawyer in the profession, but it's especially problematic for younger lawyers, women, people with disabilities, and people of color. It's not “just hazing” and it can no longer be tolerated. This episode will have people talking.
