In this deeply informative conversation, Ryan Cartlidge is joined by Dot Baisly—the Executive Director for the International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC). With an extensive background in shelter behavior, veterinary medicine, and private consulting, Dot brings a wealth of experience to the table, having previously led behavior programs at major organizations like the North East Animal Shelter and the Animal Rescue League of Boston. Dot holds a Master's Degree in Animal Behaviour from Tufts University and is a Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant, Certified Cat Behaviour Consultant, and Certified Shelter Behaviour Specialist. Together, Ryan and Dot dive into the topic of the Joint Standards of Practice (JSOP), a collaborative initiative aimed at creating a standardized, ethical framework for behavior professionals in an industry that remains largely unregulated. Dot provides much-needed clarity on the structure of the JSOP coalition—explaining the roles of the Steering Committee versus the signatory organizations—and details the massive effort involved in updating the document. She shares the story of how the JSOP recently evolved from a brief, Lima-based guideline into a comprehensive document that now incorporates the five domains of animal welfare and explicitly addresses procedure selection. The conversation highlights why these standards are essential for the future of the industry, moving beyond simple "effectiveness" to ensure that the intervention itself supports the mental and physical well-being of the animal. They discuss the importance of moving toward a recognized profession where practitioners are held accountable, and how collaboration—rather than competition—among certifying and educational bodies is the key to creating a unified, ethical voice. Ryan also announces that the Animal Training Academy has officially become a signatory of the JSOP, reflecting a shared mission to empower professionals with high standards of care. Throughout this episode, we discuss: ✅ The role of the IAABC as a global trade organization and independent certifying body ✅ Defining the Joint Standards of Practice (JSOP) and why it serves as the minimum standard of care ✅ The structure of the JSOP coalition, including the Steering Committee and signatory organizations ✅ The transition from a Lima-based framework to a more comprehensive, science-backed standard ✅ Why self-regulation is a vital step toward professional legitimacy and ethical behavior change ✅ The difference between "assent" and "consent" in supporting learner well-being ✅ How professional standards protect both the animal and the practitioner from burnout ✅ The importance of industry-wide collaboration in raising the bar for animal welfare Whether you are a seasoned consultant or a professional just starting your career, this episode provides a clear roadmap for understanding the ethical foundations of our industry and why participating in standardized, collaborative frameworks is a "no-brainer" for those committed to the highest level of animal care.

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), welcomes Pooja Babbrah, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Industry Alignment at NCPDP, and Anna Taylor, Associate Vice President of Population Health and Value-Based Care at MultiCare Health System and Steering Committee member of the HL7 Da Vinci Project, for a discussion on the relationship between standards development and policymaking.  Using the CMS “Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs” Proposed Rule (CMS-0062-P) as a backdrop, the conversation explores how standards communities, implementation accelerators, pilot programs, and industry collaboration influence healthcare interoperability long before requirements appear in federal regulations. Tony opens the discussion by asking how organizations should think about the relationship between standards development and policymaking today. Pooja and Anna explain that organizations such as the HL7 Da Vinci Project and NCPDP Standards are often viewed as technical standards bodies, when in reality they serve as collaborative forums where providers, payers, vendors, pharmacists, regulators, and other stakeholders work through real-world operational challenges. The conversation then shifts to the value of participating early. Tony asks what organizations miss when they wait for final rules before becoming involved. Anna discusses the operational, strategic, and financial advantages organizations can gain by participating in standards development activities, implementation guide development, pilots, testing events, and implementation communities. As part of that discussion, Tony and Anna touch on the growing body of production implementations supported by Da Vinci. Organizations interested in understanding how these implementation guides are being deployed across the industry can explore the Da Vinci In-Action Implementation Tracker, which documents real-world adoption efforts and implementation progress. Pooja expands on the importance of creating opportunities for broader industry participation. She describes NCPDP Collab, an interactive forum open to both members and non-members that provides a venue for discussing workflow challenges, implementation barriers, and emerging industry needs before formal standards development begins. The discussion naturally progresses into the CMS “Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs” Proposed Rule (CMS-0062-P), which directly references standards and implementation approaches developed by both NCPDP and Da Vinci. As Tony guides the conversation toward implementation, Anna discusses how Da Vinci's collaborative testing model and initiatives such as Trebuchet help organizations evaluate interoperability workflows in real-world settings before widespread adoption. The discussion then turns to one of the central themes of CMS-0062-P: the convergence of pharmacy and medical benefit workflows. Pooja explains that while patients and providers simply want access to treatment, healthcare organizations continue to operate within separate medical and pharmacy benefit structures. She argues that future interoperability efforts must focus less on the underlying standards and more on creating workflows that deliver a seamless experience for providers and patients regardless of where coverage resides. Building on that theme, Tony asks how healthcare organizations should think differently about workflow design. Drawing on her background in human factors engineering, Anna argues that healthcare has historically allowed technology to dictate workflows rather than designing technology around how people actually work. She advocates for starting with desired outcomes and user experience, then working backward to determine how standards, automation, and technology can support those goals. The conversation then moves to trust, adoption, and data quality. Tony observes that interoperability is no longer simply about moving data but about delivering the right information at the right time and within the right workflow. Anna discusses the importance of consistency and reliability in building trust, while Pooja shares examples of how incomplete implementations can undermine provider confidence even when standards and technology are technically available. Together, they argue that adoption depends as much on usability and trust as it does on technical capability. Returning to CMS-0062-P, Tony asks where organizations should focus their feedback beyond timelines and compliance concerns. Both guests encourage stakeholders to look closely at the broader strategic questions embedded throughout the proposed rule, particularly the requests for information that may signal future policy priorities. Rather than focusing solely on implementation challenges, they encourage organizations to use the comment process as an opportunity to help shape how healthcare workflows should function in the future. The episode concludes with Tony's signature question: what should healthcare stakeholders think differently about or start doing differently tomorrow? Pooja highlights the expanding role pharmacists can play in care coordination, medication management, and prior authorization workflows, arguing that pharmacists remain an underutilized resource within the healthcare ecosystem. Anna closes with a call for broader participation across healthcare, encouraging providers, employers, patients, vendors, and other stakeholders to engage with standards communities and implementation efforts. She emphasizes that meaningful progress happens when stakeholders move beyond identifying problems and actively participate in building solutions. Throughout the discussion, Tony reinforces a central theme: the future of healthcare interoperability is not being shaped solely through regulation. It is shaped through the collaboration, testing, implementation, and problem-solving taking place every day within standards organizations, implementation accelerators, pilot programs, and stakeholder communities. Organizations that want to influence the future of healthcare should not wait for final rules to arrive. They should participate in the conversations that help create them.  

06/03/26 Lawrence Bike Plan Update Steering Committee Meeting #8 by City of Lawrence

The story of a Saskatchewan girl allegedly excluded from school because of her diabetes care needs has sparked a broader conversation about support for students with complex medical needs. What are educational assistants being asked to do, and does that match the training they're receiving? Evan is joined by Karla Sastaunik, Chair of the CUPE Saskatchewan Education Workers' Steering Committee and an education support worker.

Neal Shaw joins host Ron Aaron and co-host Carol Zernial to talk about the lack of caregiving training caregivers receive and caring for the older population on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

Kevin Crandell VK4VKX went silent key on the morning of 14 May this year. He injured his head badly as a result of a fall, and never recovered. Those of you who knew Kevin know that we have lost someone special. Kevin was a member of the Darling Downs Radio Club for more than 25 years, and forged many lasting relationships since he moved to Toowoomba from Roma. Kevin contributed solidly to the success of the club. He served for nine years over two terms on the Management Committee as treasurer, and was a member of the Steering Committee for a further nine years. He was active on VHF and HF, although more recently his on-air had to be curtailed due to the requirements of the retirement community in which he was living. Kevin was known by many for his role over the last ten years as Net Controller for the Club's weekly 2m Sunday Net. He was irrepressible and highly committed, and his presence as Net Controller will be missed. The Darling Downs Radio Club extends our condolences to his wife Jean, his family, his friends, his service mates, and the community that knew him on air. Vale Kevin Crandell. A celebration of life for Kev will be held at 1200 on Monday 25 May, which will be tomorrow for most of you listening. Details are on the club's website at ddrci.org.au ( John VK4JPM President and Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio club ) Unsurprisingly, last week's 2m net on VK4RDD was very well attended. The importance of the repeater to the club is not lost on any of us, and I'm pleased to report that the club has started some facilities upgrade work. It's a little early to release details, but we've embarked on a project which will improve the amenity and accessibility of the repeater, so watch this space. We've updated the VK4RDD repeater and VK4WID club entries in QRZ.com. Check those out, and if you don't have a QRZ entry now might be a good time to create one so that on-air contacts can find you. The 52week Amateur Radio Ham Challenge is entering week 22, and the challenge of the week is labelled "Show and Tell: your manpack". And what's a "manpack" It's the collection of portable equipment that you have ready to go at a moment's notice, so that you can grab/run/be on-air very quickly. Sound perfect for POTA activations, civil emergencies, or those moments when the rain finally stops. You might already have a pack like that, with transceiver, power, backup logging, antennas, and a container. That's just described Mr POTA's permanently setup car, ready to go right now. Telling people about your stuff isn't boasting; it can be inspirational and aspirational. Important hamwords! And that's what the 52Week Challenge is about... a bit of encouragement. Check it out at hamchallenge.org, or see the club website. Coming up: I won't give all the dates this week because there's a calendar on the website at ddrci.org.au, but two important reminders. Please volunteer to assist with our fundraising Bunnings BBQ on Sunday 7 June. Just a couple of hours of your time will help build the club coffers so that we can keep membership fees down. And we're looking for licenced club members to join the roster for the 2m net. If you have a Sunday morning hour every couple of weeks we'd love to have you on the team. Both BBQ and Net offers can be sent to secretary@ddrci.org.au and we'll be in touch. The 2m VK4RDD net follows the Sunday morning broadcast at 1000, and if you're listening to this in the evening how about jumping on the callback to register your presence. Every bit helps. Until next week, I'm John VK4JPM for the Darling Downs Radio Club. 73.

The Supreme Court of India recently asked the Central government to amend the abortion law to remove the time limit on medical terminations of unwanted pregnancies in the case of minor rape victims. While this was observation was made while hearing the case of a 15-year-old rape survivor to terminate a 30-week pregnancy, it throws up broader questions of abortion access in India. While in general there is a belief is that abortion is legal and easily available, the ground reality is a little different. Abortion is legal only under certain circumstances and given certain conditions – it is not freely available to anyone who chooses to have it. Access to it is also uneven and patchy across the country. It also not permitted, unless there is severe foetal anomaly or a risk to the mother's life, beyond 24 weeks. Over the past decade or so, hundreds of cases have ended up in court seeking terminations on unwanted pregnancy. Why is this happening? Is there a case to be made to lift time limits altogether? And do we, in India, need to move from a criminal framework for a health service to a health and rights -based framework?

When the main oncology hospital in Kharkiv was bombed, patients started dying — not from the bombs, but from losing access to their chemotherapy. Ross Skobronski, a Spanish-Ukrainian mathematician who had come to Kharkiv to visit family just one month before the full-scale invasion, watched and waited for someone to respond. No one did. So he did it himself.Today, Mission Kharkiv serves more than 3,200 oncology patients with full treatment courses across Ukraine, operating a cold chain logistics system out of a bunker four metres underground. Ross and his team of 62 deliver chemotherapy to hospital doors on the day of each patient's session — a level of precision and responsiveness that puts much larger organisations to shame.In this conversation, Ross talks about how he built Mission Kharkiv from scratch, why his mathematical training shaped his problem-solving more than any humanitarian manual could, and what he sees as the fundamental disconnect in how the sector talks about localization. As the chair of the NGO platform's steering committee in Ukraine, he brings a sharp outsider's perspective on the dynamics between international and national NGOs — and why he doesn't believe power will ever be shared voluntarily.In this episode:How a $40 million pharmaceutical donation launched Mission KharkivBuilding cold chain logistics in a city under siegeWhy "naivety" might be the most undervalued quality in humanitarian actionThe gap between localization rhetoric and reality on the groundWhy Ross believes power must be taken, not sharedA proposal for a localization accountability framework with measurable indicatorsWhat it would take to replicate Mission Kharkiv in other countriesGuest: Ross Skobronski, Founder and Director of Mission Kharkiv and Chair of the Steering Committee of the NGO Platform in Ukraine.

The climate crisis is not only a technological or policy challenge — it is also a crisis of worldview. In this powerful conversation, Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Osprey Orielle Lake, founder and executive director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), about how climate justice movements around the world are working to transform our relationship with nature, power, and community. Osprey's work bridges grassroots activism, Indigenous leadership, international climate negotiations, and legal innovations like the Rights of Nature movement. Drawing from her book The Story Is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis, she explores how systems like colonization, extractive economics, and patriarchy have shaped today's ecological crises — and how new stories rooted in reciprocity, justice, and stewardship can guide the path forward. This conversation explores the role of Indigenous knowledge in climate solutions, the fight against fossil fuel expansion, the growing global push for legal protections for ecosystems, and the importance of community-led restoration efforts around the world. Originally recorded in 2024, this episode remains deeply relevant today as movements for climate justice, land stewardship, and ecological restoration continue to gain momentum globally. Key Topics in This Episode Why the climate crisis is fundamentally a crisis of worldview The role of Indigenous knowledge and leadership in climate solutions The Rights of Nature movement and legal frameworks that protect ecosystems The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty initiative Climate justice and the risks faced by frontline land defenders Reforestation projects led by women restoring ecosystems and communities Why global transformation requires both systemic change and cultural shifts About Osprey Orielle Lake Osprey Orielle Lake is the Founder and Executive Director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), an international organization that works with grassroots, Indigenous, and frontline communities to advance climate justice and a just transition to renewable energy.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   In this episode, Justin interviews RIMS General Counsel Mark Prysock on RIMS Public Policy Focus in 2026.   The RIMS Public Policy Committee is focusing on several legislative issues in 2026. These include the reauthorization of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, a federal government backstop in the event of a catastrophic terrorist attack. The bipartisan legislation would reauthorize program funding through 2034.   The Public Policy Committee is tracking an association tax reform proposal to levy a 21% tax on nonprofits' net earnings. Republicans and Democrats together are interested in the potential tax revenue of this proposal. RIMS serves on the Steering Committee of an association coalition led by ASAE to try stop this new tax from moving forward.   Other legislative interests include reforming the National Flood Insurance Program, mandating disclosures around third-party litigation funding of civil lawsuits, and providing the risk management perspective on various cybersecurity and data privacy initiatives.   This year's Legislative Summit, scheduled for March 18th and 19th in Washington, DC, will allow RIMS members to meet with their members of Congress to discuss these issues. Registration for the Summit is now open. Justin and Mark discuss these topics and more in today's interview.   Finally, if you haven't already done so, please consider contributing to RISK PAC, the Society's political action committee.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast.

It is a video podcast hosted by RIMS Canada Conference Committee Chair, Aaron Lukoni, with Justin as co-host. Check it out at RIMS.org/canada. This is a monthly series, and we are stoked to share it with you! [2:57] On with the Show! Our guest today is Mark Prysock, the General Counsel and Vice President of External Affairs here at RIMS. It is always wonderful to have him on the show. [3:07] He's here to remind us of the RIMS legislative priorities of 2026 and how they will be addressed during the RIMS Legislative Summit on March 18th and 19th in Washington, D.C., and who qualifies to attend. [3:19] He will also talk about what else we can expect in the way of public policies that RIMS would like to prevent, and those we support. There are lots of links in this episode's notes. You can visit RIMS.org/advocacy, as well. [3:30] Let's learn about the policies that are changing the risk landscape. [3:34] Interview! Mark Prysock, welcome back to RIMScast! [4:15] Mark says the RIMS priorities for 2026 include third-party litigation funding, where third parties, often from other countries, invest in civil litigation. This is of great concern from a national security perspective.  [5:22] If a foreign firm wants to invest in a lawsuit against a defense manufacturer, that foreign investor will have access to everything that comes out in discovery. [5:36] There's a lot of information that can be gleaned through civil litigation. That is a national security concern. That's one of the things we are hoping Congress will address. [5:55] Justin notes that RIMS had a couple of webinars about TPLF in 2025. The webinar panelists were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about prevention. They covered ways to spot it and what to do about it. [6:21] Mark states that there is a strong link between TPLF agreements and nuclear verdicts for substantial amounts of money. [6:34] There's a real risk from a commercial insurance buyer's perspective if you are in an industry that is subject to TLPF arrangements, that the insurance for these types of lawsuits could dry up or become substantially more expensive. This could be extremely problematic. [7:15] Congress is considering reauthorizing the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA). There is bipartisan support for it. The full House will be voting on it before too long. This may get wrapped before the RIMS Legislative Summit. The reauthorization would extend through 2034. [7:40] Mark says that overall, RIMS would support a long-term reauthorization of the program. [9:25] A proposal to tax the net earnings of non-profits came up almost two years ago. Some members of Congress feel that non-profits compete with for-profit organizations but don't bear the same tax burdens. Congress is always looking for new revenue streams. [11:08] Congress is not done with budget bills and comprehensive tax bills. If there is a bill that comes forward this year, RIMS will try to make sure that there are no changes in the way that non-profits are taxed. [11:28] Justin points out that RIMS is serving on the steering committee of a broad-based association coalition led by the American Society of Association Executives. It's called the Community Impact Coalition. A substantial number of associations in the D.C. area are involved. [11:50] Being on the steering committee means that RIMS plays a very active role in settling on the legislative strategy in dealing with this issue. [12:01] Mark says it's great to be involved in working with this group. They had a great deal of success last year in making sure none of these new tax provisions were included in the budget reconciliation bill. [12:15] WMark says that we just need to make sure again, for the last half of this session of Congress, that those tax provisions don't rear their ugly heads again. [12:24] Justin states that we love ASAE at RIMS. In 2023, RIMScast won an NYSAE Award for MarCom Excellence. [12:40] Justin asks about the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is typically funded as part of the Continuing Resolution, a bill that funds the federal government in general. That bill is considered by Congress every three to nine months. [13:22] We often reach a point where the issues regarding the Continuing Resolution are hashed out at the eleventh hour. Sometimes, they're not, and the government experiences a partial shutdown, which, at the time of recording this episode, we are currently in. [13:42] At present, the NFIP is not funded. RIMS advocates for the NFIP to be reauthorized, with enhancements, for an extended time, such as two or three years. However, if it were not part of the Continuing Resolution, it would no longer be considered must-pass, and it might go away. [15:31] Mark talks about attending the RIMS Legislative Summit. You may attend if you are a RIMS member working for a company that does business in the United States. [15:37] Mark says we are looking for RIMS members who represent companies that are constituents of Members of Congress, so you can go in, talk to a Member, say I am here on behalf of RIMS, and I work for a company that has X number of employees in your district. [15:59] Say that these are some risk management issues that my company is facing right now. I'd like to talk to you about those, if I could. [16:08] Quick Break! The RIMS CRO Certificate Program in Advanced Enterprise Risk Management is RIMS' live virtual program, led by James Lam. Great News! A brand new cohort has been announced. Registration closes on April 6th. [16:29] Beginning on April 14th, bi-weekly workshops will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time through June 23rd. Register now! A link is also in this episode's show notes. [16:42] February is Insurance Careers Month! That coincides nicely with the Spencer Educational Foundation's 7th Annual Spencer Day, which will be February 23rd. [16:54] Spencer's CEO, Megan Miller, was recently a guest on RIMScast, and we were discussing how everyone can join in this virtual celebration. Spencer is seeking $47 donations in honor of its 47th year. [17:11] The goal on Spencer Day is to raise $7,500 to support an additional scholarship, which will be awarded in the Spring. A link to Spencer Day information is in this episode's show notes. Visit Spencered.org/spencer-day. [17:27] Let's Return to Our Interview with RIMS General Counsel and Vice President of External Affairs, Mark Prysock! [17:58] Mark says the RIMS Legislative Summit will take place in Washington, D.C., on March 18th and 19th. March 18th is Education Day, held at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Building in D.C. There will be training on the various advocacy issues. [18:28] There will be panel discussions around third-party litigation funding, reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program, and association tax reform. They bring together many people from the D.C. community to talk about these issues. [18:45] This includes lobbyists, people from the administration, Congressional staffers, and people who are going to bring different perspectives to provide RIMS attendees with a well-rounded understanding of each of these issues. [19:04] After that, there will be a basic presentation on how to lobby Members of Congress, with all the dos and don'ts. By that time, RIMS members will be ready to go. There will be one-page leave-behinds that outline an issue in depth and have a specific ask for Members of Congress. [19:27] Mark says we'll make sure that those one-pagers are transmitted to all the Congressional offices we'll be visiting, before our meetings, and also have printed leave-behinds for our members to take with them when they go to the Hill. [19:41] Thursday, March 19th, will be a full day. We release the hounds! Everybody hits the Hill, talks to Congressional staff members, and maybe Members of Congress, about our legislative priorities. [20:11] Mark says the pitch in 2025 was solid. One issue, the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act, liberalized the use of 529 College Savings Accounts for credentials, certifications, and things that might advance their careers in other ways. [21:06] There was very strong bipartisan support in the House and the Senate. Mark says RIMS participated in a very effective lobbying campaign on this. That legislation was passed into law using the exact language that our lobbying campaign recommended. [21:28] For Mark, that was a high point from last year's RIMS Legislative Summit. Another high point was the attendance numbers. There were about 100 Congressional visits in total. RIMS was very well-represented last year, and Mark hopes we outdo ourselves this year. [21:52] A Final Break! RISKWORLD 2026 will be held from May 3rd through the 6th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. RISKWORLD attracts more than 10,000 risk professionals from across the globe. It's time to Connect, Cultivate, and Collaborate with them. [22:12] General registration is open, and you can lock in the Advance Rates through February 28th. Marketplace and Hospitality Badges will be available starting March 3rd. Links are in the show notes. Check RIMS.org for more information. [22:29] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS General Counsel and Vice President of External Affairs, Mark Prysock. [22:48] Beyond the Legislative Summit, the RIMS Public Policy Committee wants to work very closely with the RISK PAC Trustees to raise awareness around RISK PAC and the important role that it plays in supporting our legislative program. [23:05] RISK PAC is the RIMS political action committee. It's a vehicle to raise personal funds from RIMS members and use those dollars to support the reelection campaigns of Members of Congress who RIMS believes already support our issues or are in a position of influence. [23:38] Mark says we have some fairly exciting new things happening with RISK PAC this year. The first is a fundraising reception at RISKWORLD on Sunday afternoon, just before the opening general reception. [24:29] Any RIMS member who is a U.S. citizen can support the RISK PAC. Make a contribution to the PAC in order to attend. [24:58] RISK PAC will have a fundraiser at the Florida RIMS Conference in July. They are planning on more exposure at other regional conferences this year, as well. [25:36] Mark expects a lot of good things to happen for the RISK PAC this year, and hopes to raise a good amount of money to support our legislative initiatives. [26:14] Mark says TRIA is becoming a new, very relevant issue to the risk management community. It's all about extending an existing program. [26:39] Last week's RIMScast guest was RIMS's 70th President, Manny Padilla. Mark says Manny has been a long-time supporter of the Public Policy Program and Committee. He's a financial supporter of RISK PAC. He's a regular attendee at the RIMS Legislative Summit. [27:41] Having someone in the President's role who is enthusiastic and supportive of our Public Policy Program is great for us. [27:50] Mark says that Manny Padilla has been great for connecting the Public Policy Committee with other people working on similar issues. [28:10] Justin and Mark look forward to speaking more, later in the year, about what is accomplished on these issues. [28:33] If you have any questions before the RIMS Legislative Summit, you can visit RIMS.org/advocacy or reach out to Mark Prysock directly. He'd love to hear from you.

A wave of lawsuits in the Unites States is targeting tech firms for their product design decisions. Lawyer Carrie Goldberg has played a role in establishing the product liability theory that underlies them. As the founder of C.A. Goldberg, PLLC, in 2017, her firm brought a lawsuit that sought to apply product liability theory to a tech platform — Herrick v. Grindr — arguing that a dangerous app design, not just user behavior, was the source of harm. In 2022, Goldberg was appointed to the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee in the federal social media multidistrict litigation. She's led cases against Amazon, Meta, and Omegle, has testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on child safety issues, and is the author of Nobody's Victim: Fighting Psychos, Stalkers, Pervs, and Trolls. Justin Hendrix spoke to her from her offices in Brooklyn about what she's learned over the last decade, and about some ongoing litigation that remains in dispute.

Send us a textBeyond the Language of the Israel-Palestine 'Conflict' and the Unconscious Grammar of Genocidal Consent with Alex McDonaldOn this episode of Understanding Israel Palestine, a Beyond the Walls edition, we move beyond the kinetic warfare on the ground to examine the cognitive warfare in our own minds. We investigate the "deep structural politics" of language—the specific mechanisms used to manufacture consent and maintain an information blockade here in the West.Our guest suggests that we aren't just "misinformed"; we have been acculturated into a specific foreign policy dialect designed to obscure the structural realities of what we have been taught to call the Israel-Palestine "conflict." Jeremy Rothe-Kushel speaks with Alex McDonald, a researcher, co-founder of the Texas Coalition for Human Rights, and an educator working to correct the historical record in U.S. instructional materials. Alex brings the dual perspective of an analyst and a witness, having served on the Steering Committee of Voices From the Holy Land and as a volunteer on the Freedom Flotilla. He is the author of How I Learned to Speak Israel: An American's Guide to a Foreign Policy Language and When They Speak Israel: A Guide to Clarity in Conversations about Israel.This conversation serves as a primer and invitation for a vital upcoming event. On February 15th, Alex will lead the Voices From the Holy Land (VFHL) Online Film Salon, a workshop dedicated to decoding and dismantling this disinformation architecture.Links:Register for the VFHL Salon: Tinyurl.com/VFHL-February2026Alex McDonald's Work & Books: SpeakIsrael.infoUnderstanding Israel Palestine: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2016486Beyond the Walls: https://beyondthewalls.substack.com/Keywords: Israel-Palestine, Cognitive Warfare, Manufacturing Consent, Alex McDonald, Voices From the Holy Land, Gaza Genocide, Foreign Policy Language, Disinformation, Deep Politics, Freedom Flotilla, Educational Bias, How I Learned to Speak Israel.

How can nonprofit organizations navigate leadership transitions with steadiness and clarity? In episode 137 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, Carol Hamilton talks with Erin Stratford Owens, a seasoned interim executive director to answer this question. Carol and Erin talk about: what makes interim leadership distinct from simply "holding down the fort" — it's a time for honest reflection, system assessment, and preparing the path for what's next. how boards and staff can make the most of an interim period,  the common mistakes to avoid, and why slowing down to plan for sustainability — rather than reacting in urgency — is essential for long-term impact.  The conversation offers nonprofit leaders a grounded perspective on turning moments of uncertainty into opportunities for renewal and learning.   Episode highlights: [00:08:26] What Interim Leadership Really Is [00:11:56] Misconceptions About Interims [00:15:21] Avoiding Common Mistakes [00:18:46] Setting the Stage for the Next Leader [00:20:26] The Board's Crucial Role [00:22:41] Building Staff Trust [00:25:36] Addressing Systems and Structure [00:29:26] What Makes an Interim Successful [00:30:56] From Urgency to Sustainability Guest Bio: Erin Stratford Owens is the founder and CEO of ESO Nonprofit Consulting, specializing in Interim Executive Leadership and coaching for nonprofits and nonprofit leaders in transition.

In this discussion we primarily discuss her piece, Zionism, Imperialism, and the Struggle Against Global Fascism: Palestine as the ‘Hornet's Nest' of US Empire from the Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective blog The Pen Is My Machete  And a little bit on her piece The ‘War on Terror' as Primitive Accumulation in Tunisia: US-Led Imperialism and the Post-2010-2011 Revolt/Security Conjuncture from Middle East Critique  Also I say more about this in the episode, but Dr. Mullin was fired from CUNY as a result of her stance and organizing with respect to Palestine. We will include a statement from AISC on this and a Statement in Solidarity with CUNY Faculty and Students Facing McCarthyite Retaliation for Palestine Solidarity which we have signed.  There are also a number of other calls to action for faculty and students at CUNY that we will include in the show description. Corinna talks about those at the end of the episode and we strongly encourage folks to support those calls to action it only takes a minute of your time. In this discussion Dr. Mullin talks a little bit about Dr. Ali Kadri's The Accumulation of Waste: A Political Economy of Systemic Destruction and it just so happens that we have a study group on that exact book starting on October 1st, it's available to everyone who supports the show, whether through patreon, BuyMeACoffee or as a YouTube member of the show. Details on that study group and how to join it are linked in the show description. But just to note that there are only about 40 spots left in the group as we publish this, so if you want to join us, make sure you do so ASAP to reserve your space. Calls to Action:  "Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik is being made an example of for the sake of setting the tone across the nation at public universities, as they seek further control over the student movement for Palestine. City College President Vincent Boudreau has already denied her appeal for a drop to the charges, without even an acknowledgement to the 2,000+ calls and emails from the community that demanded her reinstatement. Now, it is time to escalate both our tactics against CUNY and whom we pressure— Take it to the Board of Trustees. Your rage is needed to make it loud and clear that CUNY's repression will not go uninterrupted.  CALL CUNY STUDENT AFFAIRS: 646-664-8800 EMAIL THE BOT: https://tinyurl.com/Defendhadeeqaarzoo" Free Tarek Bazrouk! Tarek is a 20-year-old Palestinian from NYC, unjustly convicted of federal charges stemming from his participation in protests against the genocide in Gaza. "Demand Immediate Reinstatement of Terminated Adjunct Faculty and Defend Academic Freedom Send a letter to Brooklyn College President Michelle Anderson, CUNY Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez, and CUNY Board Chairperson William Thompson urging them to reinstate the fired adjunct faculty and protect the rights of CUNY students and workers who stand in solidarity with Palestine. The targeting of these individuals is part of a broader assault on higher education and academic freedom. Their fight is our fight—silencing them is an attack on us all.
