How much does Devers' position matter? Not much! He should be taking ground balls at first and mashing homers. This is what woke owner John Henry up! Was Breslow allowed in the meeting? Devers is a bad teammate and he is a great hitter. Both statements can be true. Do we think Henry gave Devers a stern talking to? This Bill and JordOn story is beginning to feel like a Steffon bit from SNL. It has erectile dysfunction, news outlets, misinformation and more! There are way too many details coming out. How on earth did JordOn not win Miss Maine? Keefe previews every summer blockbuster.

Jeff Strand Coordinator of Government and External Affairs from the Tennessee Disability Coalition will discuss the Priority Bills for Part 2/2 of the 113th Tennessee General Assembly. Here is a link to what we discussed last year (2023) on Episode 78 TDC Priority Bills for 2024 1) TennCare for Working Adults, where persons with disabilities can potentially buy into TennCare services (like HCBS) by paying a premium. Eligibility to participate in this program will exclude present income and asset thresholds, making Tennessee the 47th State that could allow for this provision. 2) Paid Family Caregiving Resolution. As Jeff explains, this resolution would urge TennCare to work with community stakeholders to develop a comprehensive statewide paid family caregiving policy and program. If TennCare is unable to provide a solution in 2024, then TDC could write a Bill and bring this before lawmakers in 2025. 3) Right to Repair, Part 2. This Bill will require payors to pay for wheelchair maintenance and make provisions for "less complex" repairs, like flat tires, to be made by independent repair persons. 4) HB 2497/SB2146 will exempt two organizations from building dormitory-style, congregate living spaces within the State and bypass the State's anti-institutionalization laws, which prohibit the residence of more than four unrelated persons with disabilities in a group home or less than 500 yards from another group home. Wins: The Tennessee Drivers Placard language was cleaned up to modernize the language of the law.

FRIDAY HR 2 RRR Trivia - 1972 This Bill was signed to create this, connected to Central Florida The Clown game in Orlando. Amber Nova
The government introduced a new Bill in the Rajya Sabha in August – the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Bill, 2023. It repeals the Election Commission (Conditions of Service of Election Commissioners and Transaction of Business) Act, 1991. This Bill was initially listed for discussion in the special session of Parliament this month, before being held back. But it has sparked a big debate about the implications of this Bill, especially the provisions that removed the Supreme Court Chief Justice from the selection panel, and altered the status of the Election Commissioner – from being equivalent to a Supreme Court judge, to that of a Cabinet Secretary.
State Member of the NSW Legislative Assembly, Adam Marshall, has introduced a Bill that would split the Hunter New England Health District in two. This Bill would result in the reincarnation of the New England Are Health Service that would focus entirely on the New England region. Adam joined Ben through our remote platform to discuss the Bill, why it is necessary, and the state of healthcare within the New England area.
In tonight's podcast, we discuss a recent Michigan hate speech bill If passed, would make violators guilty of a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of $10,000. This Bill has many conservatives and Christians alarmed that it will put a target on their back in the near future. We also discuss a pastor in North Carolina who was well known for his work with the homeless that was fined by the city $60,000 for operating a homeless shelter on property zoned for a church. We then show more "prophetic previews" of what is coming to America in the near future.
What if a law was created in Ottawa that blocks our ability to get information? What if it worked subtly and was put into terms that we may not understand until the law or act takes effect? What if I then told you it is happening while you are sitting there reading this blog post? If you read the news you may have seen headlines about how Google and Facebook are going to block Canadian News Media from their websites. Many of us think it is simply because Google and Facebook do not want to share the revenue with the Canadian News Group Facebook and Google did pull the deal off the table after Bill C-18 was introduced. In a Globe Mail article, they talk about how the deal was on the table so they could get and protect their content from poachers and misuse. The Liberal Government claimed that the legislation was need to so that the Internet Giant would be forced to pay for Canadian content. The government protects information that is valuable to Canadians so funds like an excellent idea until it becomes difficult to find who is standing for what we believe when it comes time to vote or cast a ballot for something critical to our way of life. Before C-18 the sources for information were murky at best but we had multiple sources to compare and contrast so we could decide what is accurate and make a choice based on our way of life. This is how democracy should work many sources create a clear and we have some transparency. With the new Bill, the government may have to be transparent and can hide information that we need. This legislation may not be aimed at the Internet Giants in the way it is being introduced to us. The government may be trying to create an environment where election officials control the stories and can finally control our reactions. This Bill. may not be about protecting Canadian content it may be about controlling the narrative so we won't know we can speak out and tell elected officials when we don't like what they are doing. Think about this is Bill C-18 protecting our way of democracy?https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/charter-charte/c18_1.html

The Centre is planning to amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. It proposes to make more than 60 amendments to this law through an amendment Bill, titled Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act (Amendment) Bill, 2022. This Bill, prepared by the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, is expected to be introduced in Parliament either in the ongoing Winter session or the Budget session. Among the proposed changes is the inclusion of bestiality as a crime, the recognition of ‘five freedoms' for animals, and a new category of ‘gruesome cruelty' which would carry enhanced penalties. What are the various amendments, their implications, and how effective are they?

Tian Alberts (regs- en skakelbeampte by Sakeliga) gesels met James Kemp op die Beleidsradar-insetsel (Pretoria FM). Die gesprek bekyk die nuwe wetsontwerp op betreding (onwettige toegang tot persele) wat onlangs vir kommentaar gepubliseer is. Hierdie wetsontwerp was onlangs prominent in die nuus en die sosiale media. Alberts gee meer inligting oor die wetsontwerp en weerlê 'n aantal wanopvattings. Wat egter vir Sakeliga belangrik is, is dat eiendomsreg beskerm moet word. Die wetsontwerp behou die statutêre misdryf van betreding en toon in daardie opsig niks ongewoons nie. Elemente soos die rol van die SAPD soos bepaal in die wetsontwerp, word egter bevraagteken. Die publiek word aangeraai om die wetsontwerp te ondersoek en kommentaar daarop in te dien. ____________________________________New Trespassing Bill – the need for strong ownership rights is emphasised Tian Alberts (legal and liaison officer at Sakeliga) talks to James Kemp in the Beleidsradar insert (Pretoria FM). The insert takes a look at the new Unlawful Entry on Premises Bill that was recently published for comment. This Bill has been prominent in the news and on social media. Alberts gives more information on the Bill and refutes a number of misconceptions. What is important to Sakeliga, however, is that right of ownership must be protected. The Bill retains the statutory offence of trespassing and it contains nothing unusual this regard. However, elements such as the role of the SAPS as stipulated in the Bill are being questioned. The public are advised to study the Bill and submit their comments on it.
Suicides have become the second-leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States, surpassing homicide deaths, which dropped to third on the list . The teenage suicide rate increased from 8 deaths per 100,000 in 1999 to 8.7 deaths per 100,000 in 2014, and unfortunately, that number continues to increase. On June 20, 2019, Nikolai Miller, described as "a shining light in a world that has gotten darker." died by suicide His grieving mother, Kris Miller, started On A Dragonfly's Wings as way to express her grief. It later became a leading source of education about mental health and suicide prevention. Sean talks with Kris about her journey, how she copes with the loss of a child, and what she is doing to help others understand how critical mental health is and how many people need our love and support. I have been a guest speaker at several suicide prevention trainings talking about Nikolai, his life, his struggles and ultimately, his death. As a member of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Advocacy Committee of Michigan, I continue to fight to bring new legislation to the table to support mental illness and suicide prevention. Most recently, I partnered with former Representative Andrea Schroeder on HB 5482, Save Our Students Bill. This Bill was signed into law by Governor Whitmer on October 15, 2020, and requires all public school districts that produce a student ID, to print a suicide hotline number on the back of the card.

Bill of Rights Synopsis Dominic Raab has set Britain on a course of travel that indulges its worst Brexit excesses. He famously said he didn't believe in social and economic rights and so it is no surprise that he sought to repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a Bill Of Rights Raab asserts that this Bill will give people more rights to free speech and limit ‘bogus' human rights claims. Not so says Liberty's Director Martha Spurrier. This Bill does nothing but limit and restricts people's access to their rights, it pits the British courts which she laments as ‘increasingly conservative' with the Strasbourg Court and deliberately sets them up for a collision course Martha gives us a historical masterclass on the vital role that the Human Rights Act has played in securing people's rights and holding public authorities and the Executive accountable A compelling listen.
Shortly before the current turmoil in Westminster, a new British Bill of Rights was introduced in Parliament. This Bill seeks to repeal and replace the 1998 Human Rights Act, which incorporated the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law. Rosalind English discusses the proposed Bill with public law expert Andrew Warnock QC.
It is no longer a slippery slope fallacy to claim that after guns, they will come for metal knives, and after the metal knives, they will come for the plastic ones. Great Britain has seen a string of knife bans, to the point that it is not even legal to carry a knife if the authorities do not think that your reason is good enough. (Story from the hstoday.us below) The Church of England is literally using language like “pointy knifes” must be banned, letter below. To further the point, they are literally attempting to ban plastic cutlery for purposes of carbon footprint reduction (How will we prepare food at this rate?), again new story below. This may seem silly, but it is actually happening to knives. Many conservatives have been laughed at for even suggesting that this is the logical end of the gun debate, that all guns will be banned and knives will be next. We see that occurring in Britain in real time. When discussing the topic of Gun Control, one can easily run into the weeds of stats and lose the war for winning the battle. We need to remember from where does this type of ideology stem, and what has it produced. Note, I am a stats guy. I believe in knowing the facts, but that is only a small percentage of the conversation if you wish to win someone on the other side of the Gun Control Debate. Last week we discussed stats and common arguments, so now let's look at the origins of gun control and what the philosophy of gun control has produced in societies that have implemented it. In America, it bears merit to look at why gun control was even considered in a society that had recognized a citizen's common law right to own a firearm since the English Bill of Rights of 1688. This Bill of Rights, by the way, reinstated the rights of all to keep and bear arms. Protestants, specifically, had been stripped of this right under persecution by James II. So why would a Protestant nation even consider gun control laws, they had just left violent persecution in Europe. Many of them fought for these very reforms. So why would some of these refugees employ similar tyrannical policies? For the same reasons those in Europe oppressed the Protestants, sin and power. Looking at American History is like looking at the tale of two Americas. One America was fighting for Christ's Liberty for all, and the other living in the same sin nature in which the rest of the world wallows. The gun control issue is one of many debates that has serious philosophical implications. Either all have the right to defend themselves, as God has declared in His Word, or Man has the right to pick and choose if man has the right to self defense. When man usurps God's authority, tragedy inevitably strikes. One of the first gun laws in America was written in Virginia in 1640 specifically against the African Slaves who had been brought to the New World: “Prohibiting negroes, slave and free, from carrying weapons including clubs." (The Los Angeles Times, "To Fight Crime, Some Blacks Attack Gun Control," January 19, 1992) Also passed in 1640 Virginia was this statute: "That all such free Mulattoes, Negroes and Indians...shall appear without arms." [7 The Statues at Large; Being a Collection of all the Laws of Virginia, from the First Session of the Legislature, in the Year 1619, p. 95 (W.W. Henning ed. 1823).] (GMU CR LJ, p. 67) Virginia continued to institute such laws and was joined by South Carolina in 1712 when the latter codified a statute banning:"An act for the better ordering and governing of Negroes and slaves." [7 Statutes at Large of South Carolina, p. 353-54 (D.J. McCord ed. 1836-1873).] (GMU CR LJ, p. 70) In 1791 the 2nd Amendment was ratified, codifying the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It is important to note that the first congress almost split over the issue of slavery during our battle for independence from Britain, which truly didn't end until January 8, 1815 in New Orleans. Benjamin Franklin after having returned from France to broker the end of the French Revolutionary War brought a petition before Congress that read as such: ““Mankind are all formed by the same Almighty Being, alike objects of his care, and equally designed for the enjoyment of happiness.” All people were entitled to the “blessings of liberty . . . without distinction of color.” It noted the contradiction of slavery and freedom in the American experiment while seeking the means “for removing this inconsistency from the character of the American people,” and it called on Congress to grant “liberty to those unhappy men who alone in this land of freedom are degraded into perpetual bondage.” It advocated not only the end of the slave trade, as the Quaker petition had the day before, but the end of slavery itself.” billofrightsinstitute.org The Abolitionist case took a back seat to survival and rested until the decadespreceding the Civil War which, however complex, was at least in part foslavery. In those decades marching up to the Civil War many states passed other egregious gun laws. In 1825 Florida enstated a law allowing local authorities to ransack Melanated homes (slave or free) for the purposes of confiscating any weapons of any sort (even a cane could be considered contraband. In 1828 Florida did in fact reverse somewhat to allow Free Melanated people to own firearms, only with a license. (Because you know you can't trust some sorts of people so we need licenses. This argument has become no less immoral with time.) In 1831 Florrida reversed again and repealed all licenses held by melanated people. (If God is not the one endowing us with our rights, and government is, then our rights are based on elections and political whimsy.) In 1857 the Dredd Scott vs Sandford case, one of the worst cases of jurisprudence ever seen in America, the court upheld the following: Fro Chief Justice Taney: “if members of the African race were "citizens" they would be exempt from the special "police regulations" applicable to them. "It would give to persons of the negro race...full liberty of speech...to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went." (Id. p. 417) U.S. Supreme Court held that descendants of Africans who were imported into this country and sold as slaves were not included nor intended to be included under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, whether emancipated or not, and remained without rights or privileges except such as those which the government might grant them, thereby upholding slavery. Also held that a slave did not become free when taken into a free state; that Congress cannot bar slavery in any territory; and that blacks could not be citizens.” After the Civil War, the reconstruction era saw the above laws “Slave Codes” become “Black Codes”. These often banned Melanated ownership of firearms without a license. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was meant to overturn these and the 14th Amendment reinforced the CRA of 1866, but states continued in their sin. “Opponents of the 14th Amendment objected to its adoption because they opposed federal enforcement of the freedoms in the bill of rights. Sen. Thomas A. Hendricks (D-Ind.) said "if this amendment be adopted we will then carry the title [of citizenship] and enjoy its advantages in common with the negroes, the coolies, and the Indians." [CONG. GLOBE, 39th Congress, 1st Session, pt. 3, 2939 (4 June 1866)]. Sen. Reverdy Johnson, counsel for the slave owner in Dred Scott, opposed the amendment because "it is quite objectionable to provide that 'no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States'." Thus, the 14th Amendment was viewed as necessary to buttress the Civil Rights Act of 1866, especially since the act "is pronounced void by the jurists and courts of the South," e.g. Florida has as "a misdemeanor for colored men to carry weapons...and the punishment...is whipping..." [CONG GLOBE, 39th Con., 1st Session, 504, pt. 4, 3210 (16 June 1866)].” The KKK was formed the same year in 1866, primarily by Democrats who felt as Thomas Hendricks did. This organization and those who held hate in their hearts towards the freed slaves wanted gun control to make their business of oppression easier. Saturday Night Special Laws were concocted and enacted to make inexpensive firearms “Saturday Night Specials'' difficult to obtain. This made it difficult to afford a firearm for all of those who the left saw as undesirable, especially the melanated individuals, but also the Appalachian and Italian, who were also connoted with “higher criminality and lower breeding”. Remember, these were the same people who were enthralled with eugenics and thought the poor and slaves were in these circumstances because of their genetics and nature. In 1911, the Sullivan Law was enacted. This law required police permission to obtain a permit to own a handgun. Again, the Southern Italian was also specifically singled out as particularly criminal in nature, as well as the more melanated African American. In 1934 the National Firearms Act was passed to prevent the ownership of firearms that were considered too dangerous to be left in the hands of the common folk. Firearms under this law were still available if you were to ask for a license and pay a tax equal to that of a used automobile. In 1941 Florida a judge admitted to the unequal administration of a gun control law: “In concurring opinion narrowly construing a Florida gun control law passed in 1893, Justice Buford stated the 1893 law "was passed when there was a great influx of negro laborers in this State....The same condition existed when the Act was amended in 1901 and the Act was passed for the purpose of disarming the negro laborers....The statute was never intended to be applied to the white population and in practice has never been so applied...". Watson v. Stone, 148 Fla. 516, 524, 4 So.2d 700, 703 (1941) (GMU CR LJ, p. 69)” After MLK was assasinated in 1968, the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed and Robert Sherril, an avowed anti-gun journalist admitted that: “that the Gun Control Act of 1968 was "passed not to control guns but to control Blacks." [R. Sherrill, The Saturday Night Special, p. 280 (1972).] (GMU CR LJ, p. 80) "The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed not to control guns but to control blacks, and inasmuch as a majority of Congress did not want to do the former but were ashamed to show that their goal was the latter, the result was they did neither. Indeed, this law, the first gun-control law passed by Congress in thirty years, was one of the grand jokes of our time. First of all, bear in mind that it was not passed in one piece but was a combination of two laws. The original 1968 Act was passed to control handguns after the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been assassinated with a rifle. Then it was repealed and repassed to include the control of rifles and shotguns after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy with a handgun.... The moralists of our federal legislature as well as sentimental editorial writers insist that the Act of 1968 was a kind of memorial to King and Robert Kennedy. If so, it was certainly a weird memorial, as can be seen not merely by the handgun/long-gun shellgame, but from the inapplicability of the law to their deaths." (The Saturday Night Special and Other Guns, Robert Sherrill, p. 280, 1972)” In 1994 Clinton introduced HR 3838 to ban firearms in government housing, people who need to be able to protect themselves more than most. All of this to say, Britain's gun and knife bans have not worked, Australia's bans have done little, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao's bans accomplished exactly what they wished. Why would we in America continue the regressive and Anti-God philosophy of Gun Control. Let us live in Liberty, but with responsibility. Those who commit heinous acts should be held to account, but we can also deter them with an armed populace.

The Children's Commissioner is aghast that a bill effectively dismantling the role is proceeding, despite the majority of submissions opposing it. The Social Services and Community Select Committee heard hundreds of submissions on the bill - which scraps the statutory position of Children's Commissioner. A new Children and Young Person's Commission is to be established, which would be run by a board of up to six members. This Bill also sees the Children's Commissioner stripped of their power to investigate, no longer handling complaints from children and their families. Children's Commissioner Judge Frances Eivers says the vast majority of submissions opposed the changes and children in care deserve to have a monitor that is independent of Government. Kathryn speaks with Social Development Minister Carmel Sepuloni and Children's Commissioner Frances Eivers.

As the first words of this chapter say: "This Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa.

The CPK created the state of Democratic Kampuchea in 1976 and ruled the country until January 1979. The party's existence was kept secret until 1977, and no one outside the CPK knew who its leaders were (the leaders called themselves “Angkar Padevat”). While the Khmer Rouge was in power, they set up policies that disregarded human life and produced repression and massacres on a massive scale. They turned the country into a huge detention center, which later became a graveyard for nearly two million people, including their own members and even some senior leaders. http://www.reyum.org/ (Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture: ) Reyum was a non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to Cambodian arts and culture.

SUMMARY: In September, 2021, CA Bill AB1273 was passed unopposed to create opportunities for allied health and radiography students to earn a wage for clinical hours in their respective programs, despite outcries in opposition from faculty and professional organizations like JRCERT, the ARRT, the ASRT and many more (including myself). This Bill, which doesn't specify who will be paying students, will create a conflict of interest in student learning objectives, decrease the minimum standards of education and patient safety. It sets us back decades in the professional status and standards we've worked so hard to grow... And not one politician opposed it throughout the entire process! It's been tried before and shot down, so why didn't they listen to the professionals in the field this time? I couldn't remain silent on this issue, and have come out of podcasting hibernation to bring light to the issue, and to get this discussion going in hopes to make our voices heard by the politicians. There are other, less destructive methods for supporting our students. This is not the way!

Welcome back to Talking PFAS Podcast, and if you are joining me for the first time, welcome. I am a journalist and your host Kayleen Bell. You can reach me at TalkingPFAS@gmail.com. The following show notes and all information in today's episode are copyright. Permissions must be sought to reproduce. The episode (and show notes) may be shared in its original form and its entirety for others to listen to. Today's guest is Boston Attorney John Gardella a shareholder at CMBG3 Law. He is a member of the firm's PFAS team which counsels clients on PFAS related issues ranging from state violations to remediation litigation. John has been a repeat guest on Talking PFAS before and due to his experience and expertise it is always a pleasure to speak with him about PFAS and litigation in the US.In today's discussion we will be talking about several of his articles that he has written for the National Law Review. I will put a link to the articles we discuss today and his website in the show notes.There are several points of significance in today's discussion with John which I will briefly mention here but we will unpack the details in our chat.California OEHHA added PFOA to list of chemicals known to cause cancer:On February 25, 2022, another significant step was taken when the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added PFOA to the list of chemicals known to cause cancer. The listing will create new warning label requirements for any product sold in California that contains PFAS, and may also increase enforcement action targeting of PFOA-containing products.US EPA PFAS Roadmap:The US EPA is taking many actions in regards to PFAS, outlined in a 20-page document called the PFAS Roadmap. John says for the first time they put a timetable on when they intend to release enforceable regulations for two PFAS in drinking water. There are currently no enforceable drinking water limits at the Federal level in the United States. This is something that many people in the US and the world are watching very closely.John says, “So, by this fall we will know what their intent is and then they have to go through a required process where they open up their proposal to public comment and so they are opening that up for one year and they intend to have by the fall of 2023 a drinking water standard in the United States for all states, which would be enormous.”In addition, “The US EPA intends to designate at least two types of PFAS, the PFOA and the PFOS as hazardous substances under the Super Fund Law. Rob Bilott – Lead attorney in lawsuit brought by a firefighter:On March 8 2022 the Ohio Court issued an opinion in the Hardwick v 3M case in which it certified a PFAS class action lawsuit that would include over seven million people. This is in relation to a lawsuit by a firefighter who is the lead plaintiff, with Taft lead Attorney Rob Bilott. The Ohio court ruled that the class of plaintiffs that would be allowed to proceed with the lawsuit (which is seeking medical monitoring) will be the “citizens of Ohio who have 0.05 ppt of PFOA and at least 0.05 ppt of any other PFAS in their blood serum.For those who are unfamiliar with Attorney Rob Bilott's work on PFAS there is plenty online and you can watch the Dark Waters Movie to see where his decades of PFAS litigation work all began. John said Attorney Rob Bilott's team famously secured the now renowned C8 Science Panel in his PFAS litigation in West Virginia nearly two decades ago. It was the C8 Science Panel findings that significantly influenced litigation activity, regulatory and legislative activity with respect to PFAS and media attention on PFAS issues.John said what he believes will be significant is that Mr Bilott wants a new science panel convened that would include all residents of Ohio.John says, “there are 7 million people that live in Ohio, give or take a few but it is 7 million people and so just to put that in context a little bit. When he was in West Virginia about two decades ago now and he got his science panel through the litigation there, there were 70,000 citizens”Washington – PFAS Bill to regulate various consumer goods which contain PFAS & the DOE to name PFAS containing firefighting gear a priority product: Just after my discussion with John, on the 31 March Washington's Governor signed into law a Bill that we discussed in today's episode. This Bill significantly accelerates the state's initiative to develop regulations for various consumer goods that contain PFAS. This Bill also requires the Department of Ecology to name PFAS containing firefighting gear a priority product under the State's Safer Products for Washington initiative.John says, “there has been a lot of regulation and legislation in the US in many States about firefighting foam, but this is certainly one of the first examples in the United States with respect to the firefighting gear.”PFAS in cosmetics:I have talked in detail about PFAS in cosmetics with John Gardella before in the Talking PFAS podcast, in episode 29. Since that discussion, as John's team at CMBG3 Law predicted in early 2021, “the increased attention on the industry presented significant risks to the cosmetics industry and the developments made the cosmetics industry the number two target for future PFAS lawsuits.” In less than three months four industry cosmetic giants were hit with lawsuits related to their cosmetics and PFAS, which John says is significant news.LINKS:John Gardella's firm CMBG3 Law Bostonhttps://www.cmbg3.com/US EPA 20-Page PFAS Roadmaphttps://www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-strategic-roadmap-epas-commitments-action-2021-2024A selection of John's recent articles in National Law Review (many more available at his firm's website)https://www.natlawreview.com/article/cosmetics-and-pfas-lawsuit-alleges-false-marketinghttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/prop-65-lists-pfoa-carcinogenhttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/astm-pfas-standards-closer-to-adoption-epahttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/astm-standards-and-pfas-not-so-fasthttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/pfas-class-action-lawsuit-updateshttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/pfas-consumer-goods-target-washingtonhttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/pennsylvania-pfas-drinking-water-standards-commenthttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/wisconsin-pfas-standards-one-step-closer-to-realityhttps://www.natlawreview.com/article/pfas-cercla-exemptions-movement-growsThis episode is dedicated to my darling Molly cavoodle dog and best companion ever who lay dying at my feet (and we didn't know she was that sick) while I tried to edit this.

Music composer, Rayko, (“Until We Meet Again,” The Man In the High Castle) is actively involved in lobbying efforts to pass California Assembly Bill 2764. This Bill will stop all new factory farms from being built. Factory farms or industrial livestock productions maximize agribusiness profits at the expense of animals, the environment, social justice, and public health. Rayko shares philosophies, data and why it's time to replace our factory farm food system with something sustainable and humane.

Canada just passed Bill C-4 criminalizing conversion therapy. The Bill's definition of conversion therapy clearly encompasses the act of preaching the gospel to an LGBTQ individual and calling them to repentance. It also seems to be broad enough to encompass simply preaching from the pulpit what the Bible says about homosexuality, sexuality, and biblical identity. This Bill is a clear and direct attack on Christians. Pray for our Canadian brothers and sisters in Christ. Here is a link to AFCI's giving page.

Jennifer and Jacques talk about the Religous Discrimination Bill being presented to Federal Parliament. This Bill would expand the powers of religious insititutions to discriminate - not just on the basis of faith affiliation, but on aspects of identity and lifestyle deemed by the institution to be incompatible with their particular brand of faith. Jacques and Jennifer look at the particular instance of schools and their power to hire and fire on the basis of things like gender, and sexuality. They place this in the context of the inequitable funding arrangments for education in Australia, wherein private religious schools take the lions share of funding from the public purse, to the detriment of public schools. This makes the push by these private schools to be able to discriminate even more outrageous, pointing to a certain sense of elite entitlement. Refs:Stop all government funding for private schools.

As the agenda for the upcoming session of Parliament was listed, the Bill seeking to ban the private cryptocurrencies caught everyone's attention. But we know as little about its content as we knew in January when it was first proposed. The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021, was also listed for the Budget session in February also, but it never came up for discussion. The domestic crypto market went into a tizzy on Tuesday night, soon after the news on the Bill came in. Several coins fell more than 20 per cent all the while when they were trading more or less flat in overseas markets. Cryptocurrencies on Indian exchanges are still trading at a discount to their global prices as investors continue to sell in panic. If the summary of the bill as given by the government is anything to go by, it would seem like the end of cryptocurrencies is nearing us. This would dash the hopes of lakhs of investors who plunged into the space recently. The world's largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin has gone from $18,000 to $56,000 in a year. Industry estimates suggest that there are 1.5 to 2 crore crypto investors in India, with total holdings of around Rs 40,000 crore. However, the exact definition of a private cryptocurrency remains unclear at this moment. An inter-ministerial committee led by former Economic Affairs Secretary SC Garg in 2019 had defined private cryptocurrencies as anything that is not issued by the government. Whether this definition has evolved since then, will be known only when the bill is made public. The Reserve Bank of India has time and again voiced “serious concerns” about cryptocurrencies and is set to launch its own digital version. Through the cryptocurrency legislation, a facilitative framework will be created for an official digital currency. While the crypto bill is attracting the most attention, the government has for the first time listed a Bill to enable the privatisation of two public sector banks Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced the privatisation of two state-run banks while presenting the Union Budget for 2021-211. The government has not revealed the names of the banks, but media reports suggested these could be Indian Overseas Bank and Central Bank of India. The shares of the two lenders rallied up to 20 per cent in Wednesday's intra-day trade on back of heavy volumes. Indian Overseas Bank recently exited the RBI's Prompt Corrective Action framework after six years. Central Bank of India is the last remaining lender that is facing restrictions under the framework. Their privatisation is crucial for the government to meet its disinvestment target of Rs 1.75 trillion for FY22. The high-priority Farm Laws Repeal Bill, which proposes to scrap the three controversial farm laws passed by Parliament last year, is also part of the legislative agenda for the winter session. The Parliament will also take up Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2021. It proposes to de-license power distribution allowing private players to compete with state-owned power distribution companies. The move would allow consumers to choose between power distribution companies. Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced in the last Union budget that the government would bring a framework to allow consumers to choose between power distribution companies. This Bill will reduce the cross-subsidy burden on industrial and commercial consumers. It will require consumers to pay unsubsidized power rates to discoms. And the state governments would pay subsidies directly to the consumer via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The amendments have been opposed by states including Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The government will table 26 Bills in the Parliament during the winter session starting November 29. In the 20 working days, it hopes to clear all of them. This session will be crucial as several important bills seeking reform are on the table.
Election Integrity: Why we don't have it, how we lost it and what to do about it. In the election of 2020 we saw a dramatic loosening of the chain of custody of ballots. We saw an indiscriminate use of mass mail-in ballots. We saw a verification process junked and pushed aside. And as a consequence, we saw major irregularities in that election. The result: a waning confidence among voters in the integrity of our election system. The issue is critical. If we don't get our elections right, we lose our American Republic. We lose our liberty. Joining me on this episode are two of our leading players in the fight to restore election integrity - and co-authors of a seminal piece in the Yale Law Review “The Other Voting Right”. Ken Blackwell, in his role with The Center for Election Integrity of the America First Policy Institute. And Ken Klukowski, who was senior counselor in the US Department of Justice and the Trump White House. Right now, the Democrats in Congress are trying to push through a power grab to federalize election law and make perpetual the abuses we saw in 2020. The John Lewis Voting Rights Act (HR4) would essentially eliminate state's rights and the decentralization of power that the framers established by granting states the authority to set the time, manner, and place of elections. This Bill must not become law. Also, in this episode we explore what the gold standard should be to insure election integrity. In 2020, ballot harvesting was a big source of abuse and we talk about how Republicans in Virginia - where ballot harvesting is legal - could turn the tables on Democrats in this November's election. Listen in and learn from two of our top experts about how to restore the integrity of our elections.
The Reconciliation Bill, which Congress is rushing to pass in a matter of days, will push America over the brink into financial and social catastrophe. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is hellbent on this as her legacy project to turn the U.S. into a European entitlement state. No one can explain what is at stake more plainly than economist Steve Moore, my guest on this episode of The Bill Walton Show: “This Reconciliation Bill, and by the way, do not call it a $3.5 trillion spending bill, this is $5 trillion on top of the $2 trillion they spent earlier this year, on top of the $6 trillion budget that they are passing and on top of the broad $1 trillion infrastructure bill.” “You add it up, in one year, Congress is authorizing $12 trillion of spending, which is more money than the United States government spent to finance the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the moon landing, the transcontinental railroad and the interstate highway system.” “We are on the beaches (of Dunkirk), we need reinforcements. The Left is surrounding us. They have control. They own Washington right now. They have the White House, they have the Senate, they have the House. They're trying to bulldoze the most left wing agenda in the history of the United States through Congress with a one seat majority in the Senate and a five seat majority in the House of Representatives.” “This Bill is meant to transform America,” says Joe Biden. It's hard to overstate how bad this legislation is. Even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce urges its defeat. “This reconciliation bill is effectively 100 bills in one representing every big government idea that's never been able to pass in Congress. It's an existential threat to America's fragile economic recovery and future prosperity.” Listen in to learn what is at stake and what we can hope to do to stop it.
Both the House and the Senate passing the $3.5 Trillion Budget means it's time to get excited. This Bill is going to create an enormous amount of opportunities if you position yourself correctly!!

A Bill stating marriages and civil unions should be allowed to be dissolved immediately in domestic violence situations has been submitted by a Labour list MP.Angie Warren-Clark said Labour was committed to protecting survivors of domestic violence and submitted her Family Proceedings (Dissolution for Family Violence) Amendment Bill to the members' bill ballot."The current law requires a couple to be separated for two years before a divorce can occur. This means people must remain married to the person that is abusing or has abused them, even if a protection order is in place," Warren-Clark said."This Bill allows a person to apply for an order dissolving a marriage or civil union if they have been the victim of family violence inflicted by the other party in the relationship."Many people are surprised that survivors of domestic violence are required to stay married to their abuser for two years before being able to finalise their divorce. This change is overdue and I'm calling on my parliamentary colleagues to sign on to support this Bill."This Bill builds on the Government's work to protect survivors of family and sexual violence, including the biggest-ever investment in family violence and sexual violence support services, the introduction of domestic violence leave and new offences, like strangulation, to better reflect the severity of family and sexual violence." Warren-Clark said."I worked in the family and sexual violence sector for 15 years before coming to Parliament and I'm proud to be able to progress this change on behalf of the many women who have raised it with me."The Bill was lodged in the members' bill ballot this morning. If the Bill receives the support of 61 non-executive members of Parliament, it will be introduced on the next sitting day.- Bay of Plenty Times

Kara Goldin is the Founder and CEO of Hint Water, author, podcaster, wife and mom of 4. She refers to herself as an accidental entrepreneur because after having a career at Time Inc, CNN, and AOL, Kara found herself focusing on her health as a mom and that’s when Hint Water was created. Kara hosts the podcast “The Kara Goldin Show” (previously Unstoppable), where she converses with Founders, Disruptors, and other notable people she refers to as Unstoppable Guests. Today, Kara’s book Undaunted: Overcoming Doubt and Doubters,launches and I was fortunate enough to read it prior to our conversation. In her book, she takes us along the journey of how she got to today while daring to be undaunted. It’s definitely a must-read and unlike any kind of entrepreneurial book I’ve read! Grab a bottle of Hint and join us as Kara shares a hint of her history. You will love how relatable her story is and her friendly conversational style as she shares her journey with us. Let's discover how Kara followed her passion and purpose to become an entrepreneur! What we're talking about Kara’s Journey From Corporate To Entrepreneur The Launch Of Hint Water Kara’s Entrepreneurial Journey Kara’s Journey From Corporate To Entrepreneur Before her entrepreneurial journey started, Kara worked in media for TIME and CNN. She mentions that she was inspired by Steve Jobs’ ideas of making shopping easier for people. She decided to pick up the phone and call the CEO of 2Market, the e-commerce CD-ROM company that was behind the beginning of online shopping for AOL because she wanted to learn more. Kara ended up ultimately working at AOL running their e-commerce and shopping partnerships. Luckily for us, Kara played a significant role in pioneering the online shopping movement. Kara refers to herself as an accidental entrepreneur. She bundled all of her career experiences with her health issues, weight gain, developing adult acne, and raising young kids to create a business that ultimately is her purpose and passion...a water that is changing the lives and health of others. The Launch Of Hint Water After leaving AOL, Kara was feeling the desire to focus on getting healthy. She had been reading the labels of the food she consumed, but she hadn’t paid attention to the beverage labels. Drinking numerous cans of diet soda every day, Kara was shocked to see that “diet” didn’t mean healthy. She started drinking water but became bored with the flavor, so she started adding fruit to it. After seeing the changes in her body and having friends gush over how delicious her fruit water was, she started looking for this type of product in stores, but couldn’t find it anywhere. Kara decided it was time to bring her flavored water to the world. During her 4th pregnancy, she spent the time developing and learning in order to get the company off the ground. On the day that Kara gave birth to her fourth child, she stopped at Whole Foods on the way and landed Hint Water on the shelves! From Day One, they were getting emails from satisfied customers praising the product and how it changed their lives. This feedback was incredibly powerful and continues as they have evolved and created new products like deodorant and sunscreen. Kara’s Entrepreneurial Journey Growing up, Kara was exposed to several entrepreneurial influences in her life. Her dad created Healthy Choice dinners while employed at Armco Foods (now ConAgra). When Kara’s mom decided to follow her love of fashion and retail, Kara’s dad became responsible for feeding her and her siblings dinner. He quickly realized that the TV dinners from the frozen section were pretty bland and he knew he had to create something healthy, tasty and that his company could do it. Kara’s dad worked with famed chef, Julia Child to create Healthy Choices! Kara's older brother was constantly looking for ways to make money to pay for school while earning his law degree and would fix cars and paint houses. She describes her childhood self as being curious and that trait is still apparent today. Kara believed that she should be learning from all different people along the way and to not rely on just one person to give you information. Through building her business, Kara has managed to learn a ton about water. She is on a mission to improve drinking water standards nationwide. She is currently working with Congresswoman Jackie Speier from California to get a Bill in front of Congress to clean up our water supply. This Bill will put pressure on every State and the EPA to classify PFAS as a dangerous substance. Doing so will force the States to measure the levels in the water. Kara mentions that as a child athlete, she picked up a lot of life lessons. She has been able to apply those skills in tackling significant challenging issues that she’s encountered on her journey. Kara shows us that you can change your future by doing whatever you put your mind to. You have the power to follow whatever brings you purpose or are passionate about in your life.

With the Covid-19 Bill finally tabled, what effect might it have on homeowners and house-buyers moving forward? This Bill and the eventual Act may alleviate some of the contractual disputes and other issues that arose from the pandemic and MCO as it states that it will have retrospective effect from March onwards. But is it too little, too late? Datuk Chang of the National House Buyers Association gives us his take. Image Credit: CEphoto, Uwe Aranas
Asking Travis Barlock to Retract Rodhocetus Claim: Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart asked University of Denver biology graduate Travis Barlock to retract a specific claim he made about evidence for evolution during Barlock's debate with Bill Jack. On today's program, courtesy of filmmaker Dr. Carl Werner, hear the Rodhocetus discoverer Phil Gingerich admit that the fossil never showed evidence of whale flippers nor of a fluked tail. And now that they have recovered its front legs, Gingerich admits that Rodhocetus did not have flippers, and that therefore, the whale's tale that he imagined was not valid. In a discussion with Enyart after the debate, which you can see in the brief YouTube video below), Barlock said that if he could confirm this information, he would stop using this claim. Bob Enyart Live is now calling on Travis to make good on that commitment. And hear the audio from that post-debate discussion on today's program for questions raised about Barlock's other evolution claims. * Inviting DU Evolutionists to Enjoy:RSR's List of Scholars Doubting Darwin List of Genomes that Just Don't Fit * See More of Travis' Favorite Transitional Whale Fossils Debunked: On the show page for the Real Science Radio interview of filmmaker Dr. Carl Werner, rsr.org/whale-fossils-faked, see more video clips of the other now falsified alleged whale transitional fossils. In addition to Rodhocetus, consider also Werner's interview with the discoverer of Ambulocetus, which reveals to the general public what only few insiders knew. Dr. Hans Thewissen is Philip Gingerich's student who, astonishingly, has been celebrated for also (allegedly) discovering a whale transitional form. Following his mentor into fame, and then into shame, Thewissen has now admitted on film that he fabricated the blowhole that he claimed was on the creature's snout. Yet public television nature programs and natural history museums worldwide, demonstrating their notoriously low standard for evidence, have long accepted that imaginary blowhole so that millions of people, like Travis Barlock, believe that fantasized claim to be among the best evidence for evolution. * Inviting DU Evolutionists to Enjoy RSR's: List of Carbon 14 Everywhere it Shouldn't Be List of Dinosaur Soft Tissue Journal Papers List of Not So Old Things * DU Students Say Whale Transitions are Travis' Favorite Examples: University of Denver students in the audience told Bob Enyart that the (alleged) transitional whale fossils were among Travis Barlock's favorite evidence for evolution. This is reminiscent of the millions of evolutionists who justify their belief in evolution by citing the content in Richard Dawkins' books, even as the author himself knew and has now admitted that his books contained no evidence and only assumed evolution to be true (see video below). This Bill vs. Barlock debate also reminds RSR of when Bob Enyart asked the famed evolutionist Dr. Eugenie Scott for her best evidence, and she answered "junk DNA", which very term today has been identified as a science stopper and severely hindered the growth of genomic research as a generation of geneticists were heavily deterred by strong-armed neo-Darwinists from even looking at the non-coding regions of our DNA, vast swaths of which have now been confirmed to have function. As the scientific evidence for our Creator God continues to grow, the big Darwinists claims are shrinking. * Expecting Barlock to Keep His Word: So as this DU evolutionist agreed that if evidence is shown to be invalid, that he would no longer use it, we are hoping and expecting that Travis Barlock will retract his often repeated claim that Rodhoectus is a good example of the evolutionary transition from land animal to whale. * Today’s Resource: Get the greatest cell biology video ever made on DVD: - helps you to share it with others - helps keep Real Science Radio on the air, and - gets you Dr. Don Johnson's book as a bonus!

Contact tracing is a BILL ripe for abuses. It violates a person's right to privacy. Under this new Bill health officials can enter your home and remove individuals to other locations if they are suspected of being COVID 19 contaminated. This Bill was proposed on May 1, 2020 to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID–19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences, and for other purposes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vincent-rhodes4/message

A Bill to prevent schools from using their religious ethos to avoid teaching fact-based and responsible sex relationships education to their pupils, is currently at the second stage of debating before the Dáil. The Provision of Objective Sex Education Bill is designed to prevent denominational schools teaching sex education based on their own views of sexuality and intimacy. This Bill was developed to ensure that all students regardless of their religious backgrounds are provided with an understanding about consent, contraception, abortion, sexuality and gender issues in a non-bias, objective manner. If successful, this Bill will further sever the grip the church once held over family life in Ireland.Practice what you PreachOne does not have to look too hard to see that while the catholic church where preaching the virtues of chastity, abstinence and celibacy, they themselves, where in large numbers following a different set of rules. Not only have we seen several priests in relationships with members of their congregation, ignoring their own promise of celibacy, but more alarming is the large percentage of priests engaging in the rape and sexual abuse of countless numbers of innocent children.When I was young the catholic church had a lot of power over our daily lives. Irish people trusted the church completely and considered them above reproach. We respected priests and believed they acted as god’s representatives here on earth. For most Irish families it was considered an honour to have a priest in the family. Whatever the priest advised us to do, was done without question. They owned our hospitals and schools, giving them control over our medical care and our education. This provided the church with the power to rule over every aspect of the general populations lives.Sex is a SinThe church intruded self-righteously into every aspect of Irish citizens development with special attention to their sex lives. They preached that sex was only for procreation, even if married, it was not intended to be enjoyed. They taught that masturbation was sinful and that your body was something to be ashamed of.The scars from this form of thinking are still being felt today. They managed to destroy so many lives through their teachings around sexuality. They made us believe that God apparently didn’t mind us having sex, but we certainly shouldn’t want or enjoy it.We believed and trusted them. They set us up. We couldn’t win. We were destined to live a guilt-ridden existence for feeling something we are hardwired to feel. It is a perfectly normal human reaction to feel sexual desire. Even animals have that. It ensures that life goes on and we don’t become extinct.ExposedIn recent years, so many sexual abuse crimes committed by members of the church have come to light. It seems that every week there is yet another priest or bishop in the media accused of either committing or covering up sexual abuse against a child. It is incredible to me that it is taking us so long as a nation to break free of the churches misleading guidance and utter brainwashing around our sexuality but most importantly our children’s sexuality.ConditioningThere are many well-meaning parents out there who are still under the church’s influence, conditioned to believe that early sex education for our children is not a good thing. The belief is held that teaching children about their bodies and sex will destroy their innocence. That the child’s happiness will somehow be compromised. Can they not see that the people who initiated this opinion had their own agenda and did not love our children as we do?I was groomed from birth leading up to full penetrative sexual intercourse at age four. I am not unusual in terms of the age the grooming process can begin. For me there was huge confusion surrounding my abuse because I did not know what sex was and I was never told that no one should touch my private parts. Sex was not something that was ever openly discussed either at home or in school. I had no opportunity to understand what was happening to me. Because I didn’t know what sex was, I hadn’t the language or understanding to describe even to myself what was happening. This is what we need to consider when we talk about teaching sex education in schools. Everyone thinks it will never happen to their children, because they would know, they would spot an abuser and stop them getting near their child. Everyone thinks that, but that’s not the way it works.Things could have been differentIf I had been told in school, through the media or at home that sexual abuse happens, and that if anyone touches your privates or makes you do anything you don’t want to do, it is wrong and that I could tell someone who would help it stop. If I had been told that if this happens to you, you did nothing wrong and it is not ok, no matter who it is abusing you, my life could have been so different. There is nothing wrong with age appropriate sex education. It doesn’t damage the child, it protects them. Ignorance does not equal innocence.Change is NeededWe have a job ahead of us to attempt to undo the damage to our own sexuality and body shaming which was imposed on us by the catholic church’s teachings so the sooner we get started the better. We need to do this for several reasons, (1) you cannot give what you do not have, and we won’t be able to help the next generation develop a healthy approach to their sexuality if we don’t heal our own wounds first. (2) We need to act now because the church has lost control and the younger generation need some guidance in this area of their lives. We need to replace the lessons we learned with promoting a positive body image and healthy self-esteem. We also need to teach a guiltfree approach to accepting themselves for being sexual beings. Can you imagine?As the numbers of young suicides continue to grow, it is important that we do not leave our young turning to the internet for answers. They will be no better off than we were if their education takes place alone in front of a screen. With such easy access to porn we can be sure using this option can only lead to further confusion, self-hatred and pain. We need to build up our children. Provide them with the tools they need to navigate this new world we find ourselves in. Times are changing, and we need to educate ourselves before we do any more damage to our children.We need to encourage emotional wellbeing in our sons and daughters. Teach them how to communicate, talk about their feelings. These life skills will help them work through their issues. Introduce meditation and yoga in the early stages of school, promoting good mental health and a healthy body image. We need to recognise the gaps that are occurring in our children’s lives and address them.We will all pay the price of not taking the appropriate actions. We already are.June Kavanagh -14th June 2018
At the stroke of midnight, the Lok Sabha passed the controversial Citizen Amendment Bill. Yes, it took almost 12 long hours of debating in the lower house of the parliament, where the BJP has a majority on its own. The bill surpassed its initial hurdle, like it did on January 8, earlier this year. However this time it was passed with 311 votes in favour and 80 against it. So, here are a few things you need to know before forming an opinion: The Proposed legislation seeks to fast-track citizenship for persecuted minority groups from nowhere but in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The six minority groups that have been specifically identified are Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and Parsis. However, the Act doesn’t have a provision for Muslim sects like Shias and Ahmedis who also face persecution in Pakistan. How did the Union home minister Amit Shah justified the intentions of the bill? In his reply to over six-hour-long debate on the Bill, Shah insisted that the proposed law does not discriminate against Indian Muslims but aimed at protecting continued persecution of minorities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. He also said that the Bill was a result of the failure of the 1950 Nehru-Liaquat pact. And there is a distinction between illegal immigrants and refugees. What’s more, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday night took Twitter to express his delight over the passage of the Bill in the Lok Sabha, "Delighted that the Lok Sabha has passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 after a rich and extensive debate. I thank the various MPs and parties that supported the Bill. This Bill is in line with India's centuries old ethos of assimilation and belief in humanitarian values," he tweeted. He said he would like to specially applaud Home Minister Amit Shah for lucidly explaining all aspects of the measure. "He also gave elaborate answers to the various points raised by respective MPs during the discussion in the Lok Sabha," Modi said. Well, in case you have missed, according to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019, members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities, who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, till December 31 2014, facing religious persecution there, will not be treated as illegal immigrants but given Indian citizenship. Presently, the Constitution of India provides for citizenship by naturalisation – for people who have lived in India for the past 12 months and for 11 of the past 14 years. It also provides for people whose parents or grandparents were born in India to become Indian citizens. Who are illegal immigrants from India's perspective? To know more, listen to this podcast...
This show is pretty random. The guys review their weekend. Kemp, Wes, Bob, and our friend John drove down to Alabama to support our Berean Media Network brothers in Proposal 16. The guys met up with the Reformed Outlook in Birmingham to help present this Bill to the governor of Alabama. This Bill, if signed in Alabama would make abortion illegal. The idea is that the state can override the federal law like some states did with marijuana. The federal government never stepped in with those states, why would they do so when Alabama makes abortion illegal? Please go and check out the site at www.proposal16.com.

The heartbeat bill is one that many states are passing. This Bill is one that states abortion cannot be performed after a heartbeat is detected. We navigate through all things pro-life, fetal heartbeat bills, and women's rights. Information on the children in the foster system in Georgia: https://www.circleranchinc.org/the-need I also had the opportunity to interview a man who has a strong stance of a woman's right to choose as he was a product of his mother's rape. If you feel strongly about children one way or the other take a few seconds and a couple dollars of your spare change to care about a living child suffering from cancer. A few months ago a man stole $40,000 worth of medications off his porch. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6695713/Nevada-porch-pirate-steals-14-year-old-cancer-patients-life-saving-chemotherapy-medicine.html Here is an excerpt from his account: " We went to see the Dr in Salt Lake and a doctor at the City of Hope I’m LA. They told us that he was not strong enough for a bone marrow transplant but there is a particular type of chemo that will help him due to him having the adult form of the disease. The problem we ran into is that it’s not FDA approved for anyone under 18 years old. They are asking me to pay $48,000 a month for a year to hopefully cure him. I’m devastated. It’s so hard to see him suffer. I don’t normally ask for help, but if you know me, you know my boys mean everything to me. I am grateful to be on this journey. It has truly made me appreciate life. Thank you for any help. Love you all.

On 13 December 2018, the Supreme Court delivered its judgment on the 'Scottish Continuity Bill' (https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2018-0080.html). This Bill was enacted by the Scottish Parliament in order to provide its own version of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, providing for the continued application of EU law in Scotland from exit day onwards. The legislation was enacted against the backdrop of Scotland’s refusal to agree to a legislative consent motion for the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill 2018, which then came into force without Scotland’s consent in breach of the Sewel convention. It also marked the first time that Scottish legislation had been challenged at the pre-legislative stage, using the provisions of section 33 of the Scotland Act 1998. In this video produced by the Cambridge Centre for Public Law, Professor Mark Elliott, Professor Alison Young, and Dr Paul Daly each discuss the constitutional implications of the case, chaired by Dr Shona Wilson Stark. The talk should be of interest for undergraduate students in Constitutional law, Administrative law and European Union law, in addition to postgraduate students working in these areas.

Download Key Takeaways Bluebird Botanicals is leading the industry in third-party testing and Lab results, green initiatives and a stand on hemp policy. CBD helps cushion the psychoactive impact of THC on CB1 receptors, making for a less intense ‘high’. Lex has a lot of hope for the 2018 Farm Bill, and believes hemp has widespread uses that will open many market opportunities in the future. Intro Joe interviews Lex Pelger, Science Director of Bluebird Botanicals, a Colorado-based company. They talk about CBD and the issues with the FDA talking about health benefits. The use cases of hemp and drug war are discussed. Who is Lex Pelger? He is a Science Director of Bluebird Botanicals. Lex moves from New York to Colorado. He did a psychedelic storytelling open mic tour (Blue Dot tour) across the USA and it culminated at the MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference. Moved from the hustle of New York to Colorado to have his baby. The Cannabinoid Lex gets excited the more he learns about how intricate the endocannabinoid system is to humans and all mammals Bluebird Botanicals doesn't make any medical claims CDB supports health and homeostasis The cannabinoid system was discovered in the body only 25 years ago Opium and Cannabis were the two oldest plants used in the body There isn't anyone connection for cannabis, because there are so many receptors in the human body There is a ton of research happening on cannabinoids Lex thinks the research ban on phytocannabinoids is unfortunate Cannabis and cannabinoids are the most studied drugs in the US CBD functions as a homeostasis molecule Anandamide was the first endogenous cannabinoid discovered in the human brain in 1991 by a team led by Raphael Mechoulam in Israel Raphael Mechoulam discovered the final structure of THC in 1963 CB1 Receptor in the brain was discovered in 1991 also CB1 Receptor If the CB1 receptors are blocked in a human or animal, they won't get ‘high’ on weed The presence of CBD doesn't allow THC to fully bind to the CB1 receptor, so when CBD is present in THC, you won't get quite as high Lex thinks it's unfortunate that because weed has been in prohibition, it has been bred so hard to only have THC He thinks all weed should have a little bit of CBD to cushion the psychoactive nature of THC The Endocannabinoid System Joe says there is no profile to test the endocannabinoid system to know if a person is deficient or not, that he knows of Lex says if you get your genetic results from a company like 23 and me, it will tell you about your cannabinoid alleles A bad trip to a young brain can damage it forever The activists that annoy Lex are ones that refuse the obvious negatives Weed should not be given to all children The ‘Right to Fly’ Jonathan Thompson - Psychedelic Parenting Blog and Podcast How to create a community on psychedelics Noah Potter - Psychedelic Law Blog An open-source thought experiment in psychedelic law and policy “This plant is tied down by so many regulations” - Lex In the state of Colorado, you can't make new genetics Lousy laws made it hard to diversify the cannabis plant Lex believes Aldous Huxley’s book The Island is the best blueprint for what a sane integration of psychedelics and psychoactive might look like. Lex says people taking mushrooms in the woods together is so special, simply because a group of people is spending 6-8 hours with nature and with each other. Bluebird Botanicals Many different products - isolates, oils, vape juice, and topicals will be back soon Independent Lab Verification Leading the industry with third-party lab results Transparent about ingredients, NO pesticides used! Paired with Eurofins - world’s biggest testing lab Bluebird partners with the farmers, packaging partners, etc to be green and more eco-friendly always CEO Brandon hears about a new point of quality to be added, he goes for it Passed 99% inspection quality, CGMP Lex thinks its so nice to work for a company that focuses on giving back to the customers, focusing on employees, quality, the planet, and just giving back CBD Drug Law Changes in California The regulations restrict being able to add CBD to food, which goes is against the 2014 Federal Farm Bill Bluebird is on the board for the US Hemp Roundtable - Hemp Policy Jonathan Miller - Lawyer of the group and writer to address misinterpretation of the law “It's foolish to have the 1950’s 1960’s mindset of cannabis” - Joe Marijuana vs Hemp Both are cannabis plants Cannabis is the species, THC is more than .3% THC, Hemp is less than .3% THC “If a state inspector comes in and tests 6 samples and the results come up as .4% or .5%, they make you burn it. They don't burn it for you, you have to burn it yourself while you watch.” - Lex Cannabis is tricky to grow for commercial use It takes 3 generations for the plant to get used to the environment “Thank you, farmers, for being farmers” - Joe 2018 Farm Bill Mitch McConnell majority leader of the Senate, is pushing this because he comes from Kentucky, the Hemp state. The Senate version of the Farm Bill is correct, the House version has none of the correct language in it. McConnell and the pro-hemp committee will hash out the differences between the two bills. This Bill expands on all of the rights so it makes it look more enticing and safe for big businesses like Whole Foods and Banks. This bill is going to open up many markets. Hemp as an Industrial Product “What’s really cool about hemp is how widespread the uses are” - Lex The Hemperor, Jack Herer discovered all of the uses for the hemp plant Oil and plastic did win, hemp did not win as a top 10 commodity It’s a hard plant to work within the processing stage Thomas Jefferson stopped growing hemp because the retting stage was too hard on his slaves Hemp is not going to change all the markets it's been said it will transform Lex says hempcrete is fascinating. Using hemp as lubricants, bath bombs, and just the seeds are fascinating uses The Russians and the English fought in a war over access to hemp Hemp is a rope that doesn't get destroyed by saltwater, fueled the world’s Navy Fiber is so important, and hemp as a fiber was widespread Hemp seeds are a perfect mix of essential fatty acids Hemp seed made pigeons breed more Joe says there was a huge tradition of people eating pigeons Agriculture is so bad for topsoil, hemp can help repair our lands for us to keep surviving Hemp is a holy material in Korea Joseph Needham layed out all of China’s inventions and explained that the founders of Daoism had a cannabis-induced ‘dream’ and envisioned the first Daoist school where Yin and Yang came from Lex’s job as a Science Director for Bluebird Lex does a lot of education around CBD, Cannabinoid science conferences His passion for cannabis stems from his grandma’s medical condition He wanted to find a way to describe the cannabinoid system for elders to understand Lex is thankful for groups like Erowid, who sit down and interview our elders Lex tells a story about a man who took LSD in the woods, and fell to the ground and felt one with the trees, felt himself rooting down, and felt complete. He never forgot that feeling Lex thinks that a person should be stable before embarking on a psychedelic journey “Huxley says that therapists are attracted to psychedelics because of their own dark icebergs” - Lex. He thinks that therapists should be A gatekeeper, not THE gatekeeper Joe has been trying to get in touch with Dana Beal who popularized ibogaine “Dana Beal was an old-time, cowboy pot smuggler to fund yippie political activism, outreach, and political activism, so he could make the way that he made money, illegal” - Lex He used the system against itself Cannabis can cause catalepsy in people - which makes one ‘blackout’ 90% of cointel pros were against the Black Panthers Hoover feared them because they were black and he was racist They were extremely effective Lex explains that the war on cannabis has a racist framework, Nixon said “Because black people use cocaine and hippies use cannabis, we can use it against them” Lex goes on to talk about the history of the CIA, which puts its money into drug trade because it's untraceable, they protect the drug lords to use it for their own financial benefit He says the CIA and DEA are inefficient bureaucracies “Our belief at Bluebird, is we have to end the war on drugs. It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on people. The war on drugs is incredibly effective at doing what it was designed to do, and that was to hold, certain people groups down” Joe comments saying that there are babies being born and being brought into this world.

Tobacco advertising and smoking in federal buildings slapped with severe restrictions. Canadians’ addiction to cigarettes has been well documented for generations. However, tobacco companies’ money, influence and smarts always enabled them to entice minors to smoke, and thwart government officials who supported non-smoking workplaces. As more and more people began calling the situation a human rights issue, Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservative government made a move. With Health Minister Jake Epp, it passed the Tobacco Products Control Act, which specified a future date – January 1, 1989 – by which no tobacco advertising could appear in or on television, radio, magazines and newspapers. The act also paved the way to phase out billboard ads and severely restrict tobacco sponsorships of cultural and sporting events. The same day, the House of Commons passed the Nonsmoker’s Health Act. This Bill, introduced by the New Democratic Party’s MP Lynn McDonald, severely restricted smoking in workplaces under federal jurisdiction, and created smoke-free locations for passengers on planes, trains, buses and ships. Although the government succeeded in eliminating smoking in workplaces, in 1995 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled five to four that advertising restrictions violated the constitution’s freedom of expression provisions. It would be many years before the government managed to bring in the advertising and sponsorship restrictions first envisioned in 1988. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

My guest today is David Peter Stroh, author of System Thinking for Social Change from Chelsea Green Publishing. During the conversation we talk about the importance of using systems thinking to reach long-term goals that transform ourselves and society. To accomplish this end we need to create a series of small successes, rather than quick fixes, that are in line with and build towards our larger vision. Along with this we look at the impact that we can have on positive outcomes by taking personal responsibility for ourselves and understand our individual role as part of the problem. We close with David sharing five ways in which human systems differ from natural systems which we should consider as permaculture practitioners. If you work with any kind of system involving people, yourself included, this is an episode to kick your feet up, take notes from, and then give me a call so we can talk about it. There's a technical, heady, yet accessible conversation ahead. You can find out more about David and his work at appliedsystemsthinking.com. You can find out more about his book there, or at the site for the publisher, Chelsea Green. You'll find those and other links in the resource section for this episode at https://thepermaculturepodcast.com After speaking with David there were a lot of pieces that struck a chord with me, but two in particular that I keep turning back to are regard governing versus espoused values, and the need for personal responsibility. Our governing and espoused values have the space between them, something Ethan Hughes refers to as the integrity gap, and this exists for individuals and organizations as well as systems. On reflection this shouldn't seem surprising, but how often do we think about that gap? Do you ever consider the impact that that space between desires expressed and actual activity has on your life and the choices you make? For a long time, I didn't. Doing so involves concentrated effort. Thinking this way, seeing the big pictures, requires serious intent initially, until it become a habit. Once normalized into our daily practice it turns from ongoing moment to moment consideration to require periodic re-evaluation to insure that we don't fallen into a lull once the pressure stops, as Peter mentioned, or allow old habits to creep back in. We become the guard at the gate of our thinking, taking responsibility for how those thoughts lead to action. Responsibility is something that Bill Mollison implores us to have in The Designers' Manual, where he writes: "The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children. Make it now." (Emphsasis in original) This Bill calls The Prime Directive of Permaculture. Though it speaks to ethical actions, it is on page 1 of the big black book of permaculture, coming before the ethics that we commonly think of, before discussing any principles. This is what one of the founders of permaculture opens his seminal work with. That we must make this decision now is in bold, and speaks not to just this moment, but also the future. Our children. Though we might fall to individualistic perspectives, I also read this as a collective call to action. To take responsibility for our own existence, but that that our and own reaches out to our community, of our genetic or adopted descendants, but also of those who live in our neighborhoods. The future generations that call a place home with us, in the homes down the street or across town that connect us. There is plenty of talk about the other ethical entreatments, such as Earth care, or people care, and debate of what exactly the third ethic is in the current era, but I don't hear this prime directive in discussion very often. Let's talk about it more. In thinking about responsibility and what taking hold of it for our existence and that of our children would look like, I don't have an answer for any life but my own. If we start talking about what this looks like for ourselves, we can start to find more answers and more solutions. So, what does personal responsibility mean for you? Have you recognized how you are a part of the problem? What works? What doesn't? Let me know, I'd love to hear from you. Give me a call: .
