Should mothers work outside the home? If you want an answer more solid than groundless internet opinion or conveniently vague appeals to personal discernment, this is the podcast for you. Margaret McCarthy joins the Catholic Culture Podcast to discuss her essay on why anti-sex-discrimination law's treatment of the sexes as abstract interchangeable units hurts real women, real men, and real children (and real workplaces!). Then we dive into the neglected teachings of John Paul II and earlier popes on the objectively different relationships that men and women have to the home and to work outside the home. Margaret Harper McCarthy is associate professor of theological anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage & Family, at the Catholic University of America. She is the editor of Humanum: Issues in Family, Culture, and Science, serves on the editorial board of the English edition of Communio: International Catholic Review, is a member of the Academy of Catholic Theology, and is a consultant to the USCCB's Committee on Doctrine. 00:00 Introduction 2:30 Anti-discrimination law discriminates against real women, children, men, and workplaces 34:30 Sex difference: division of labor and customs 1:03:43 Catholic teaching on working mothers 1:33:08 Contraception and public life vs. the real feminine genius Links  Margaret H.

Class is back in session, Ladies, this time at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis!   What even is deaconess ministry, and how do deaconesses serve the church? Sarah begins her studies in the Online Deaconess Studies program at Concordia Seminary, and she's revisiting experiences from Orientation Week at the Seminary and her first class in Deaconess Ministry, including insights into personality types and theological frameworks.  Are you an eagle, parrot, dove, or owl? Sarah shares how understanding another person's tendencies in group work, stressful situations, or everyday relationships helps you walk better together. Building on this understanding of self and others, she briefly describes how we can rightly understand insights from God's First Article Gifts and discern theological wisdom to grow into better leaders and guides for those around us.  “I'm understanding more and more why they call it church worker formation. Wearing the blue, putting on my crucifix every day, being more bold about talking theology with people, it's all part of the formation. This program isn't just to learn theology and be let free in the wild. We're learning about what it means to serve people, to serve in the church, to really bring God's Word to people in a hugely wide variety of ways. It's the unexplainable feeling of growth. You are wildly conscious that you're a different person than you were a week ago because of what you've learned and experienced, and it's wonderfully scary and amazing.”   Next time, Sarah will share insights from her Introduction to Spiritual Care class.

So-called forever chemicals are both harmful to our health and are everywhere. Studies have found them in women's breast milk and even in rain falling in Tibet. A new book tells the story of how these extremely durable chemicals became so ubiquitous through the eyes of a small community that decided to fight for some measure of justice.

America Out Loud PULSE with Malcolm Out Loud and Nicolas Hulscher – Have there been any studies on the number of shots a person took and how quickly/likely they developed cancer?

Biff sought counseling for his anger and shared that his previous counselor suggested buying cheap plates to throw into the fireplace whenever he felt anger rising. Biff explained that the sound, the aim, and the shattering effect temporarily helped him vent his anger. The advice stemmed from the psychologist's belief that anger operates like a hydraulic system: pressure builds inside, and releasing it prevents an “emotional explosion.

Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. The average life expectancy for American law enforcement officers is just 57 years, a stark contrast to the general population's 78 to 79 years. Behind that number lies a sobering reality: a career spent protecting others often comes at the expense of one's own health. This special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. Heart disease, chronic stress, trauma, and the relentless demands of the badge all play a role. “Many officers only live a few years into retirement,” says John Jay Wiley, host of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “That's not just a statistic, it's a tragedy that reflects the immense pressure these men and women endure.” Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In this Special Episode, available on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Apple, Spotify, and Radio, Wiley welcomes Eric Caron, a retired U.S. Special Agent and Diplomat, to discuss the unseen toll of the job, and the urgent need to protect the mental and physical well-being of those who protect us. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The Hidden Cost of the Badge, Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. Officers face risks that go beyond the dangers of the streets. Studies show that law enforcement professionals have: A much higher rate of heart disease, with heart attacks often striking as early as age 46, compared to 65 in the general population. Elevated risks of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, conditions tied directly to chronic stress and irregular shift work. Shorter retirements, with many officers passing away just a few years after leaving the job. “It's not just the stress of one bad day,” Wiley explains. “It's the accumulation of hundreds of critical incidents over a career, what we call death by a thousand cuts.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The Psychological Battle Caron, who spent years investigating child pornography and sex crimes, describes the haunting reality of prolonged exposure to such cases. “When you're staring into that darkness every day, it leaves a mark,” he says. “You see the worst of humanity, and it takes discipline and community to not let that darkness consume you.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope. According to research, trauma in law enforcement leads to alarmingly high rates of PTSD, depression, and anxiety: PTSD rates among police officers reach as high as 35%*, compared to 6.8% in the general population. Officers are far more likely to experience emotional numbing, hyperarousal, and flashbacks from traumatic events. Many suffer from compassion fatigue**, a type of emotional burnout caused by repeated exposure to tragedy and human suffering. Caron explains that repeated exposure to graphic violence and child exploitation can cause what psychologists call traumatic layering. “It's not one event, it's hundreds,” he says. “Each one leaves a scar.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Ripple Effects The consequences of trauma ripple through every aspect of an officer's life: Emotional strain often leads to relationship issues and isolation. Negative coping mechanisms, like alcohol or substance use, are far too common. Cognitive impairment from chronic stress affects memory, judgment, and performance on duty. Physical health problems such as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular disease frequently follow. “Every case, every call, adds another layer,” Wiley says. “And too often, we lose great people not in the line of duty, but to the silent battles they fight afterward.” Protecting The Lives Of American Law Enforcement Officers: A Special Episode on Trauma, Health, and Hope.  The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Protecting Those Who Protect Us Throughout the conversation, Caron shares the methods he and his teams used to safeguard their mental health while investigating the most disturbing crimes imaginable. “We had to find ways to stay human,” he says. “Exercise, faith, humor, and having a strong support system, it all mattered.” Caron now dedicates his post-service career to helping others stay “Switched On”, the philosophy behind his bestselling book SWITCHED ON, The Heart and Mind of a Special Agent and his mindset program, Switched On Life. Through his writing, website, and podcast, Caron teaches strategies for resilience, emotional control, and self-awareness in high-stress careers.

A searing account of how the international community is trying—and failing—to address the worst effects of climate change and the differential burdens borne by rich and poor countries. Climate change is increasingly accepted as a global emergency creating irrevocable losses for the planet. Yet, each country experiences these losses differently, and reaching even inadequate political agreements is fraught with contestation. Governing the End: The Making of Climate Change Loss and Damage (U Chicago Press, 2025) untangles the complex relationship between deteriorating environmental conditions, high politics, and everyday diplomatic practices, focusing on the United Nations' agreement to address “loss and damage” and subsequent battles over implementation. Lisa Vanhala looks at the differing assumptions and strategic framings that poor and rich countries bring to bear and asks why some norms emerge and diffuse while others fail to do so. Governing the End is based on ethnographic observation of eight years of UN meetings and negotiations and more than one hundred and fifty interviews with diplomats, policymakers, UN secretariat staff, experts, and activists. It explores explicit political contestation, as well as the more clandestine politics that have stymied implementation and substantially reduced the scope of compensation to poor countries. In doing so, Governing the End elucidates the successes and failures of international climate governance, revealing the importance of how ideas are constructed and then institutionally embodied. This interview was conducted by Dr. Hannah Pool, a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies. Her research focuses on human mobilities and her new book has just been published (2025, Oxford University Press). Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's talk about the silent killer of sales, influence, and motivation: Inaction Inertia. This psychological trap is costing you deals, delaying decisions, and keeping your prospects stuck in neutral. Inaction Inertia happens when someone misses an opportunity and becomes less likely to act on similar ones later. It's not just hesitation—it's psychological sabotage. Studies show that when people pass on a good deal, they feel regret, and that regret makes them avoid future decisions to protect themselves from more disappointment. This isn't just psychology—it's persuasion fuel. When you understand Inaction Inertia, you can sell smarter. You can influence faster. You can close deals that others lose. Use it to reframe hesitation as urgency. Use it to turn regret into action.  

How Handwritten Notes Build Customer Loyalty in a Digital Age  Shep interviews Rick Elmore, founder of Simply Noted. He talks about how his company uses advanced handwriting robots and AI to create personalized handwritten notes at scale, to enhance customer relationships and stand out in today's digital world.   This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can companies send personalized handwritten notes to thousands of customers efficiently?  How do handwritten notes compare to email and direct mail in terms of open rates?  What is the impact of personalized handwritten notes on customer retention rates?  How does sending handwritten notes help businesses stand out from digital competitors?  How does sending personalized handwritten notes at scale improve employee engagement and morale?  Top Takeaways:    Getting a handwritten note (or one that looks handwritten) instantly makes the recipient feel special and appreciated. When customers receive an envelope with a handwritten address and a stamp, they are more likely top open it. When it includes a personalized message in the form of something tangible, tactile, and written with a pen, they are more likely to keep it.  Personalization builds strong customer relationships. A way that businesses can do this at scale is to use technology like robots that can mimic human handwriting and powerful AI software to create thousands of truly personalized notes.   Handwritten notes have much higher open rates than regular mail. Studies show that almost every handwritten note gets opened, while most promotional letters or emails get ignored or thrown away. When someone sees a real envelope with a stamp and handwriting, it feels personal. This makes handwritten notes a powerful tool for getting attention.  Sending handwritten notes helps businesses reduce customer churn. It is not just about showing appreciation and acknowledging customers, but it can also make them want to stay and keep buying from you. Businesses have found that thank-you notes and anniversary cards help increase loyalty. Even just a simple "thank you" can have a significant impact and keep clients engaged for years.  Authenticity matters with personal messages. In the age of social media, customers can easily take a picture of a personal handwritten note and share it online. Large language models and intelligent software allow you to generate different messages for thousands of customers, each tailored to their interests or previous experiences.

Should mothers work outside the home? If you want an answer more solid than groundless internet opinion or conveniently vague appeals to personal discernment, this is the podcast for you. Margaret McCarthy joins the Catholic Culture Podcast to discuss her essay on why anti-sex-discrimination law's treatment of the sexes as abstract interchangeable units hurts real women, real men, and real children (and real workplaces!). Then we dive into the neglected teachings of John Paul II and earlier popes on the objectively different relationships that men and women have to the home and to work outside the home. Margaret Harper McCarthy is associate professor of theological anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage & Family, at the Catholic University of America. She is the editor of Humanum: Issues in Family, Culture, and Science, serves on the editorial board of the English edition of Communio: International Catholic Review, is a member of the Academy of Catholic Theology, and is a consultant to the USCCB's Committee on Doctrine. 00:00 Introduction 2:30 Anti-discrimination law discriminates against real women, children, men, and workplaces 34:30 Sex difference: division of labor and customs 1:03:43 Catholic teaching on working mothers 1:33:08 Contraception and public life vs. the real feminine genius Links  Margaret H.

Mable struggles with the fear of man, often described as people-pleasing or codependency. Her functional theology is performance-driven, centering on earning approval from others rather than resting in Christ's finished work. This exhausting lifestyle has left her broken and ready for change. While she is a believer, her faith feels more burdensome than joyful.

Cavities are still one of America's most common diseases – despite decades of fluoride use. Xlear is calling on the FDA to recognize xylitol as an active anticaries ingredient so dental professionals and patients can finally access this powerful tool. Xylitol, a safe and natural compound, has been proven to stop cavity- causing bacteria and dramatically reduce tooth decay.The American Dental Hygienist Association (ADHA) in conjunction with Xlear, a leader in hygiene products, filed a citizen petition with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) urging the FDA to formally recognize xylitol as an approved Over-the-Counter (OTC) active ingredient in dental hygiene products, including toothpaste, rinses, gels, mouthwashes, gums, and lozenges.Xylitol addresses the root cause of tooth decay. In contrast, fluoride strengthens tooth enamel. Fluoride has almost no effect on the bacteria that causes tooth decay. Studies have shown that xylitol has a higher “protection factor” in fighting cavities than fluoride.“Dental decay is the single most common communicable, chronic disease inflicting Americans today. Moreover, dental decay is also closely associated with driving other serious health risks - ranging from heart disease to diabetes,” said Trisha O'Hehir, MS, RDH.Key Facts:·         Nearly 90% of U.S. adults have experienced tooth decay.·         Studies show xylitol can reduce cavities by up to 80%.·         Xylitol works by neutralizing acid-producing bacteria and protecting enamel at the source.·         Xylitol is safe if swallowed, a key benefit for children.·         Widely used internationally, xylitol is already found in gum and oral hygiene products. The petition requests that FDA: Amend 21 C.F.R. Part 355 to list xylitol as an approved anti-caries active ingredient. Alternatively, issue a new OTC monograph under Section 505G of the FDCA.Learn more about the Petition hereXlear is one of the nation's leaders in effective xylitol hygiene products, available inpharmacies, big box stores, natural retailers and online.XLEAR's Retailers: Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Target, Kroger, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide.XLEAR's Online Retailers: Amazon, iHerb, Lucky Vitamin, and Vitacost.comLearn more at Xlear.com or SprySmile.com

A major clinical trial in The Lancet Psychiatry found that boosting dopamine with pramipexole improved symptoms in treatment-resistant depression. This challenges the long-dominant serotonin deficiency theory Supporting those findings, another study showed that agomelatine, a serotonin-blocking drug, consistently reduced anxiety and depression in multiple placebo-controlled trials Research shows polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats (PUFs and MUFs) directly trigger platelet aggregation and serotonin release, while saturated fats do not, linking modern diets to serotonin excess Studies confirm that combinations of unsaturated fats amplify serotonin release even at sub-threshold levels, making everyday dietary choices especially relevant to serotonin-driven health risks and mood instability Increasing GABA helps your body break down serotonin, restoring calm, better sleep, and mood stability without SSRI side effects, making it a safer alternative for addressing depression and anxiety

Ce sera le 6è scrutin depuis la chute de Saddam Hussein en 2003 : les Irakiens s'apprêtent à voter, ce mardi 11 novembre 2025, aux élections législatives pour désigner, parmi plus de 7 000 candidats, les 329 députés du Conseil des représentants. L'issue du scrutin ouvrira la voie à des négociations pour désigner le Premier ministre, poste actuellement occupé, depuis 2022, par Mohammed Chia al-Soudani, candidat à un nouveau mandat. Ces élections interviennent peu de temps après le cessez-le-feu entre Israël et le Hamas à Gaza, l'affaiblissement du Hezbollah au Liban, la chute de Bachar el-Assad en Syrie. Autant d'événements qui font de Bagdad un carrefour stratégique au Moyen-Orient. Le voisin iranien l'a bien compris et espère conserver son influence en Irak, tout comme les États-Unis, justement soucieux de limiter le rayonnement de Téhéran. Et entre ces deux alliés opposés, beaucoup d'Irakiens souhaiteraient, eux, que leur pays trace sa propre route… Reste à savoir si la classe politique partage réellement cette volonté.    Invités - Myriam Benraad, politologue, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 11-06-2025:>/p> Dr. Dawn interviews Cindy Jackonette and Dr. Michael Alexander about a fundraiser for pancreatic cancer awareness on November 15th at Bargetto Winery from 2-5pm, supporting the Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group. Dr. Alexander explains pancreatic cancer has only 10-15% five-year survival rates and is difficult to screen for. Screening involves complex endoscopy procedures examining pancreatic ducts, CT scans and biomarker scans. The disease represents 3% of cancer cases but 8% of deaths. Immune checkpoint inhibitors show limited success except in Lynch syndrome patients with DNA repair defects. The Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group donates annually to local cancer organizations and is all volunteer-run with minimal overhead. An emailer asks when her 56-year-old half-African American son should get colon cancer screening given his father and uncle both had the disease. Dr. Dawn explains African Americans have increased risk and recommends immediate colonoscopy despite the ideal screening window being 10 years ago. She emphasizes identifying whether he produces polyps, which would require surveillance every 3-5 years. Unlike pancreatic cancer, colon cancer is highly curable when detected early, with death rates dropping 30-40% since colonoscopies became standard in the mid-1990s. She recommends preventive measures including daily 200mg ibuprofen (if no ulcer history) and a high-fiber diet rich in colorful vegetables containing antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and DNA damage from free radicals. An emailer from Israel asks about supporting his 38-year-old son's rectal adenocarcinoma treatment. Dr. Dawn recommends nutritional strategies including juicing 10 different fruits and vegetables daily, 20mg melatonin for synergy with chemotherapy, vitamin D supplementation, and L-glutamine as primary food for bowel healing and lymphocyte function. She suggests DHA fish oil to enhance chemotherapy effectiveness, green tea for oncogene inhibition, astragalus herb to increase phagocytic activity and natural killer cells, and rotating water-extracted mushroom formulas with beta-glucans, particularly maitake and shitake. Glutamine also protects mucous membranes from radiation burns. Dr. Dawn discusses alarming cancer rate increases among young adults in Corn Belt states including Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kansas. Since 2015, these states show 5% higher cancer rates for ages 15-49 compared to national averages, with particularly elevated kidney and skin cancer rates. Young women face 66% higher skin cancer risk than peers in other states. . Governor Kim Reynolds invested $1 million for research while Bayer's attempt to shield Roundup from lawsuits failed. Dr. Dawn notes Roundup now contains diquat after removing glyphosate. It has taken decades to accumulate evidence of glyphosates harms, She warns that absence of evidence of Diquats being harmful isn't evidence of safety and that Ames testing suggests high mutation potential. An emailer shares a JAMA article on lithium for Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Dawn explains that calcium dysregulation through NMDA receptors plays an upstream role in Alzheimer's pathology. Lithium, a bipolar disorder treatment, can reset deranged calcium gates, inhibiting mitochondrial damage and tau protein production. She emphasizes tau protein as the true culprit in Alzheimer's while amyloid beta is more symptomatic. Correcting calcium homeostasis allows neuronal autophagy systems to clear waste more efficiently rather than being overwhelmed. She reports dramatic peanut allergy declines following 2017 pediatric recommendations for introducing peanuts at 4-6 months based on the LEAP study showing 81% reduction. Between 2017-2020, peanut allergies dropped from 0.79% to 0.45% of all children under 3, with overall food allergies declining 36%. Studies also show pregnant mothers eating peanuts reduces offspring allergy risk by promoting immune tolerance. We conclude with breakthrough wireless retinal implants for macular degeneration, where cameras on glasses convert images to near-infrared signals to retinal implants which stimulate surviving retinal neurons. The prototype allowed patients to improve by two lines on eye charts and perceive facial expressions and read smaller print.

Biff, a 32-year-old aspiring pastor, has anchored his identity in ministry rather than in Christ. His parents have perpetuated this mindset with a two-tier Christian belief system that elevates ministry work above other vocations. This perspective has driven Biff's pursuit of pastoral leadership, even though his marriage with Mable is fraught with unresolved challenges.

Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews Etinosa Agbonlahor, CEO of Decision Alpha, about how behavioral economics can transform pricing strategies for small businesses. Etinosa explains how confident pricing decisions not only increase revenue but also strengthen customer retention and long-term growth. She shares insights into using psychology to frame prices effectively and highlights the importance of reviewing pricing regularly. The conversation also touches on overcoming the fear of raising prices and building confidence as a business owner. Etinosa's Behavioral Pricing Playbook explains how to create pricing that scales, sticks, and prevents revenue leaks. Around 80% of businesses undervalue their offerings—and it shows. Most pricing decisions are reactive, based on gut feelings, competitor comparisons, or fear of losing clients. Many business owners postpone pricing optimization until much later, missing out on the powerful compounding effect it could have early on. Studies reveal that improving pricing delivers 2–4 times greater revenue impact than focusing solely on customer acquisition. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Review Your Pricing Regularly – Treat pricing as a business feature, not a one-time task. Revisit it quarterly to ensure it reflects your current value and market position. Confidence is Key – Most pricing problems come from mindset, not the market. Believe in the value you provide before setting or adjusting prices. Use Psychology in Pricing – How you frame your prices matters as much as the numbers themselves. Smart positioning can make your offers more appealing. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Simplify the Customer's Choice – Structure pricing tiers so customers naturally choose your ideal package. Most buyers lean toward the middle option when presented clearly. Reduce the "Pain of Paying" – For low-cost products, consider annual payments over monthly ones to lessen customer resistance and reduce churn. Retain Before You Acquire – Focus on keeping existing customers happy and increasing their spending rather than constantly chasing new ones. One action small business owners can take: According to Etinosa Agbonlahor, one action small business owners can take is to review their pricing strategy regularly—analyzing whether it truly reflects the value they offer and aligns with customer perception. By treating pricing as an ongoing process rather than a one-time setup, business owners can boost profitability, strengthen confidence, and ensure sustainable growth.

Amanda and Ash interview Charlie Kao. Charlie shares how growing up as “free labor” on his dad's properties eventually led him back into commercial real estate, where he's now best known for self-storage. He explains why he's cautious on self-storage at a national level, how overbuilding and new alternatives are changing demand, and why he's leaning into highly localized markets where he has an unfair advantage. Charlie also walks through innovative ways he's turning basic storage into a true service business, from accepting and placing medical shipments to offering boat/RV add-ons, all while using feasibility studies and data-driven pricing to stay ahead of the competition.
