In this episode of the SEANC View podcast, host Jonathan Owens is joined by Suzanne Beasley, Ardis Watkins, and Sam Cline to discuss Governor Josh Stein's recent State of the State address. State employees and retirees were largely absent from the address, despite the ongoing crisis of high vacancy rates within state agencies and the resultant pressure on remaining employees. The team also touches on the legislature's oversight of public service employees, retention issues, and the economic impact on the state workforce. They highlight the importance of recognizing public employees' contributions, especially those who continue to work under challenging conditions. President Kirk Montgomery and Immediate Past President Martha Fowler also join for a conversation on celebrating black leaders and institutions in state government for Black History Month, as well as their time in SEANC leadership. We close with a discussion of the 5-year anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Rep. John Torbett joined this week's edition of the SEANC View Podcast to discuss the House Select Committee on Government Efficiency work, which he co-chairs with Rep. Keith Kidwell.

Before the interview, the SEANC team discusses this week's House Commerce and Economic Development Committee meetings concerning a bill to invest 10% of the state pension plan in Bitcoin. SEANC lobbyist Flint Benson spoke out against the bill in the committee, telling members that Bitcoin is too volatile to risk state employees' retirement security. We also discuss the State Health Plan's expected premium increase ahead of Friday's meeting.

This week's episode of the SEANC View Podcast focuses primarily on the State Treasurer's race, which is one of the most important to state employees and retirees. SEANC sponsored a debate between the candidates seeking to replace Dale Folwell — Brad Briner and EMPAC-endorsed Rep. Wesley Harris — in conjunction with the Institute of Political Leadership, which aired on Sunday on Spectrum News. In the debate, Briner, a personal investment manager, repeated a false claim that the pension system costs 16% of the overall state budget, which is more than three times what it actually costs. Executive Director Ardis Watkins points out in this episode that this inaccuracy makes it seem like our retirees are a huge burden to the state, which is untrue. Briner even said the pension system is "crowding out so many other priorities of the state." We also discuss the ongoing Hurricane Helene relief and recovery effort, highlighting the amazing work of state employees and our favorite fall traditions.
SEANC's leadership team joins the podcast this week to discuss the ongoing relief efforts following Hurricane Helene.

The episode also explores the collective efforts of state agencies, lawmakers, and the federal government to provide necessary support and resources. Join us as we emphasize the importance of mental health support and community solidarity during these challenging times. Learn how to contribute to the relief efforts and stay informed on the progress made in rebuilding and restoring the affected areas. Together, we stand mountain strong.

In episode 247 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with a man called Sean. Sean works for the PSSD Network, which is an organisation based in Australia, made up of people who suffer from a condition called Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). PSSD describes a debilitating condition which a subset of people live with and follows the use of SSRI and SNRI medication. A condition like this is an example of something called iatrogenic harm i.e. medical harm induced unintentionally by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures. Common symptoms of PSSD include, but are not limited to: genital numbness, a complete loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, anhedonia and emotional blunting. This condition is very controversial in medical circles and the mainstream mental health conversation because it goes against the established narrative that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are all universally safe. The PSSD Network's goal is to increase awareness of PSSD, expedite research and offer support to patients and their loved ones as necessary. The PSSD Network's mission is to speed up research and find treatments or a cure for PSSD. Sean himself lives with PSSD after he was prescribed two SSRIs for long-term issues he had with anxiety. The first he was prescribed was Prozac by his GP which had no side-effects on him but didn't work for him and he came off it very quickly. However, he continued to suffer from anxiety and during his university degree, he went back to his GP and was prescribed an SSRI called Citalopram. It was whilst he was on Citalopram that he had these severe side-effects which included sexual dysfunction, genital numbness, emotional blunting and lost libido. He came off the citalopram but the side-effects didn't go away and he came to the eventual conclusion that he had PSSD. After not being believed by multiple doctors, he eventually found medical professionals who believed him and has been working out how to manage it and treat it for the last two years. In this episode we discuss how the SSRI caused him to develop PSSD, his self-awareness about the condition and the community he has found in the PSSD network to help him with it. We discuss the role of the pharmaceutical industry in pushing SSRIs onto medical professionals who then prescribe them to patients and what needs to change in order for patients to be given full, informed consent before taking any of these drugs. We also debate why critics of the PSSD network accuse them of being ‘anti-medication', why they argue that they don't fall into that camp, Sean's recovery journey and the various methods he's tried to manage the PSSD or heal from it. We finish by discussing the work he does with the PSSD network, the research that still needs to be done around SSRIs and what is the right route forward to ensure people who need medication and would be helped by taking them are given them and who doesn't need them and could be harmed. As always, #itsokaytovent You can find out more about the PSSD Network here: https://www.pssdnetwork.org/ You can follow them on social media below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pssd_network/?hl=en-gb Twitter: https://x.com/pssdnetwork?lang=en Support Us: Patreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpuk GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-vent-supp…ir-mental-health Merchandise: www.redbubble.com/people/VentUK/shop Music: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvk

GR Director Suzanne Beasley, Political Director Flint Benson, and Lobbyist Chris Hailey, Jr., delve into the uphill battle retirees face for cost-of-living adjustments, high state hospital and prison system vacancy rates, and legislative lobbying efforts. The episode also underlines the invaluable role the SEANC Policy Platform Committee plays in representing public employees at the state level when making pivotal decisions on pay, retirement, and healthcare. The team also discusses Ardis' recent trip to Washington with SEANC President Kirk Montgomery and his wife, Pam, to lobby members of the North Carolina Congressional delegation and Sen. Bernie Sanders on the need for more affordable prescription drug prices. Ending on a high note, the team shares laughs over some of the most bizarre bills they've encountered in their collective years of service.
In this episode of the SEANC View podcast, we welcome an insightful conversation with Representative Donna White, a vocal advocate for state employees and a serving member of the North Carolina State House of Representatives. A former state employee and a registered nurse, Donna provides a unique perspective on the profound vacancy crisis currently befalling North Carolina.

Taiwan's voters have chosen pro-sovereignty candidate William Lai as their next president, a result which has angered China. It means Mr Lai's party has secured an unprecedented third consecutive presidential term at a time when the Taiwanese people are debating how best to deal with Beijing. China has claimed sovereignty over Taiwan since the end of the civil war in 1949, when the defeated Nationalist government fled to the island as the Communists under Mao Zedong swept to power. So, what do the election results reveal about how the Taiwanese people view themselves in relation to their much larger neighbour? And do they make a conflict between China, Taiwan and its allies more or less likely? Shaun Ley is joined by a panel of expert guests:Amanda Hsiao - Senior Analyst with the International Crisis Group, based in Taiwan Hsin-I Sydney Yueh - Associate Teaching Professor, Director of Online Education and Internships at the University of Missouri Vickie Wang - Taiwanese writer, interpreter and stand-up comedianAlso in the programme:Sean C.S.

For the week of Aug. 14, 2023, News & Observer Capitol bureau chief and podcast host Dawn Vaughan talks with Suzanne Beasley, the government relations director for the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC). She's been through delayed budgets before, which means a delay in raises for tens of thousands of state employees. But it's not just about the wait on raises, according to Beasley, it's about what the amount will be.

In 1991, Steve Rifkind founded LOUD RECORDS. In the decade that followed, LOUD would cultivate one of the most iconic rosters in hip-hop history, including Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, 3 6 Mafia, Dead Prez, and Tha Alkaholiks. But the label's success was a product of more than just one man's effort. LOUD was the confluence of Rifkind's vision and network, childhood friend and partner Rich Issacson's iron-fisted governance, and the impeccable taste, tone, and tireless efforts of an ensemble cast of hip-hop obsessed young staffers. Not to mention the timeless art of some of the most talented rappers and producers to pick up a mic or tap on a beat machine. On this week's episode of Idea Generation's All Angles, we talked to founders Rifkind and Issacson, A&Rs Matty C, Schott Free, and Sean C, Radio VP MoeJoe, as well as Havoc from Mobb Deep, to hear the full story of how LOUD RECORDS grew from a one room office on Melrose Ave to one of the most successful record labels of the ‘90s. And how the inspired chaos that fueled their rise ultimately contributed to the legendary label's undoing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

N.C. House and Senate budget writers are negotiating how much state workers will get in raises — at a time when nearly a quarter of positions in state government are vacant. The House has proposed a 4.25% raise starting in July, while the Senate prefers 2.5%. The State Employees Association of North Carolina is lobbying for a larger amount. SEANC executive director Ardis Watkins and Labor Commissioner Josh Dobson join WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Colin Campbell to talk about raise proposals and the impact of staffing shortages on government services. Dobson also discusses how the shortage at his agency could impact workplace safety, and he explains his decision not to seek a second term next year.
Among the many vexing challenges facing state government agencies in North Carolina these days is this: finding and keeping qualified workers. Across the state, job vacancies and turnover are extremely high. Even when agencies find good people, keeping them from departing for better paying jobs in the private sector is often impossible. Fortunately, the causes […] The post SEANC director Ardis Watkins on NC's chronic public employee shortage and pending state budget appeared first on NC Newsline.
On this episode for the week of May 29, 2023, state Capitol bureau chief Dawn Vaughan interviews Ardis Watkins, executive director of the State Employees Association of North Carolina.

Stay tuned to the end for their picks for Headliner of the Week, both about remembering those who have gone before us.

That'swhen he learned there was a new treatment available that was just approved by theF-D-A, thanks to a clinical trial.● It's a radio-pharmaceutical, which means it is a nuclear medicine. It's a drug that isinjected and targets the radiation precisely to the tumor.● Paul was the first patient at Dana-Farber to undergo this cutting-edge treatment,going to the Chestnut Hill location to receive it.● Paul and his wife say when they learned about this new treatment option, they felthope and were thankful that Dana-Farber can offer it and appreciative of the scienceand research that made this treatment possible.● In his spare time, in addition to staying active, he loves to travel. Prostate cancer facts● Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men (after skin cancer).● The American Cancer Society's estimates for prostate cancer in the United States for2022 are about 268,490 new cases of prostate cancer.● About 1 man in 8 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.● Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control.The prostate is a gland found only in males.● Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas. These cancers develop from thegland cells (the cells that make the prostate fluid that is added to the semen).● Most prostate cancers are found early, through screening. Early prostate cancerusually causes no symptoms. Symptoms can include problems urinating, blood inurine or semen, pain in the hips, back, or chest, and weakness or numbness in thelegs or feed.● New research on gene changes linked to prostate cancer is helping scientists betterunderstand how prostate cancer develops.

Humphrey Bogart is one of the most recognizable stars of the golden age of Hollywood. The final line of the film, delivered in Bogart's signature style not only is one of the greatest movie lines of all time, but also a perfect summation of The Maltese Falcon as a film. A blend of mystery, suspense, and of course one of the earliest examples of film noir. It is without a doubt the uh, stuff that dreams are made of.

Bette Davis is back! Here at Once Upon a Time at the Oscars we are always thrilled to talk about the legend herself, and this week is no exception. With a wonderfully villainous performance from Davis and exceptional work from the rest of the cast, we get a dark story about greed above family. Not to mention one of our new favorite final lines in a film. Enjoy!
