26 years of career experience. Captain on Squad 18 with The Colony Fire Department in Texas. Adjunct instructor for the North Central Texas College fire academy, cadre member with Citizens First, Build Your Culture & Forge Fire & Company. Georgia Smoke Diver and assistant with Oklahoma Smoke Diver. From a young age Justyn knew he wanted to be in the service. Even though the fire service wasn't on his mind he had a friend who put him in contact with the local Junior College where he lived, took a few tests and the rest was history. I hope the listeners can tune in on the reasons why Justyn wanted to become a Company Officer and ask yourself do you have that same notion?

In de escalerende oorlog tussen Israël en Iran worden niet alleen raketten ingezet, maar is ook beeldvorming een strijdmiddel. De live uitgezonden aanslag op Iraanse staatstelevisie laat zien hoe tastbaar de oorlog in beeld wordt gebracht. NRC-ombudsman Arjen Fortuin noemt het 'een concreet, behapbaar beeld dat ook waarschuwt.' "Zonder veiligheidsmaatregelen kan er zomaar een bom op je hoofd vallen." Lia van Bekhoven, VK-correspondent, wijst op de nieuwswaarde van het live moment zelf. "Normaliter zien we de resultaten ervan en niet het moment dat het gebeurt." Opvallend is dat het Jeugdjournaal ervoor koos om te communiceren dat de beelden met name uit Israël komen en het proces hoe deze beelden bij hun terecht komen. Adjunct-hoofdredacteur van RTL Nieuws Mireille van Ark ziet daarin een trend. "Die transparantie en het uitleggen van keuzes, bronnen en waarom we iets wél of juist niet laten zien, wordt steeds belangrijker. Oók bij het 'grote mensen-nieuws'." "De context is essentieel en dat dient duidelijk gecommuniceerd te worden", stelt Van Bekhoven. Het is nogal een verschil of een ooggetuige of een correspondent aan het woord is en wat voor een politieke kleur een persoon heeft, zodat de nieuwsconsument standpunten kan begrijpen." Toch blijft vertrouwen geen automatisch gevolg van transparantie, zo stelt Fortuin. "Uit onderzoekt blijkt dat uitleggen waarom je iets doet, niet automatisch leidt tot meer vertrouwen."
On Saturday May 31st, 2025, BAOS threw their first-ever craft beer festival at Blood Brothers Brewing in Toronto to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the podcast. Cee, Nate and Tiff got together to chat about how the festival went down, the challenges of throwing events, they did a few deep dives into some of the beers and how they came out, how moving it was that so many people came out to the event and supported, the amazing merch from Zenan, our unique selling proposition for the event, stories about Deejay T-Jr. and A Cookie Called Quest, the incredible volunteers who kept the service impeccably fast, the blending process for a few of the collabs, everything that Erica did to put this thing together, and how cool Dustin and Brayden of Blood Brothers are for believing in the vision. They got into a gang of the collab beers - Tooth & Nail x BAOS BrewHead New Zealand Pilsner, Flora Hall x BAOS English Dark Mild, Royal City x BAOS Nighttime Natter Schwarzbier, All My Friends x BAOS Chemistry Terpene IPA, 5e Baron x BAOS CenTENnial West Coast IPA, Small Pony Barrel Works x BAOS Yowie Barrel-Aged Imperial Pastry Stout, Noctem Artisans Brasseurs x BAOS Moggie Double IPA, and Dominion City x BAOS Velvet Voyage Baltic Porter.

It's kinda perfect timing to have Dustin and Brayden, the blood brothers behind Blood Brothers, on the pod the week of our huge event (the GET IT IN YA!™ SpecTAPular) we're throwing in their space on May 31st. Strangely, this is the first time the brothers have graced the pod to give us their story, and they broke it all down in detail. They also chatted about the Ontario scene at the time (2015) and their homebrewing roots, their entrance into the scene and the popularity of their Guilty Remnant White Stout, the optimal packaging size for barrel-aged stouts, how they grew from a homebrew spot to their brewpub to their new facility, the price of big stouts and how adjuncts work, how the event came together, the tariff situation and their current approach to distro in the USA, and the Blood Brothers x BAOS Podcast collaboration pastry stout.

Rohit Bhargava, founder of the Non Obvious Company and IdeaPress Publishing, on augmented creativity, the human mode, and accelerated learning. Adjunct professor at Georgetown University with a background in marketing and advertising at Ogilvy and Leo Burnett, he argues the significance of live events, media literacy, and the role of the curator in the stories we tell in branding. Technology advancements and storytelling, he says are interlinked, but the future will always depend on the greatest storytellers, and in particular, those who find the non-obvious stories to tell.#Advertising #Business #Technology
Beer bars are one of the most important, and arguably underrated, elements of any thriving craft beer scene, and none have made an impact like Kitchener, ON's Arabella Park. Co-Owner Ben Metcalf joined Cee and Nate to talk about the famous big, blue wall at the bar, their approach to their menu, the value of farmhouse beers, the incredible approach True History takes with their beers, their relationship with Stillwell in Halifax, the impact of the bar in the local scene, promoting that Arabella now sells growler fills, Ben's impeccable tasting notes, the impact of opening up the country for beer sales, bar service vs table service, and an incredibly in-depth conversation about shaving and manscaping. They got into some phenomenal beers: Burdock Monday Micro Saison, True History Vienna Classic, True History Beisl Bier, Wood Brothers Elbows Up NEIPA, Bandit Fly Half NEIPA, and Counterpart Coffee Crisp Roller Oatmeal Stout.

Rev. Tricia Brennan, Adjunct Minister, preaching Worship service given May 4, 2025 Prayer by Rev. Marta Morris Flanagan, Lead Minister https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Like a cool water for the thirsty, hope fills us, sustains us and grounds us. Like water, hope is difficult to live without, and yet it can't be ordered up or assured. Sometimes we have to wait for its return, sometimes we have to carry hope for each other. Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For May 2025, Massachusetts Bail Fund will share half of the plate. Massachusetts Bail Fund (MBF) pays bail to secure freedom from pre-trial incarceration so that those who cannot afford their bail can be in their community to fight their case. Pre-trial freedom allows individuals, families, and communities to stay productive, together, and stable. Massachusetts jails are filled with people awaiting trial simply because they cannot afford bail. Sitting in jail on bail leads to longer incarceration times, lost jobs, lost housing, and devastating disruption to families. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text “fpuu” to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive. About our Lead Minister: Rev. Marta Flanagan began her ministry as our twentieth called minister at First Parish in the fall of 2009. She is a genuine and forthright preacher. In conversation she is direct and engaging. She speaks of prayer with as much ease as she laughs at human foibles. We call her “Marta.” Marta is a religious liberal, a theist, a feminist, and a lover of the woods. As a student of American history at Smith College she was captivated by the stories of social reformers who were motivated and sustained by their faith. That led her to consider the ministry and to study at Harvard Divinity School from where she was graduated in 1986. She was the first woman minister in the city of Salem, Massachusetts, serving at the First Universalist Church there (1987-1997). She served in a co-ministry at South Church (Unitarian Universalist) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, (1997-2005) from where she is minister emerita. Marta served as interim minister in Montpelier, Vermont (2008-2009). She is trained as a spiritual director. For three years she lived in the Vermont woods practicing voluntary simplicity and the spiritual life. Marta enjoys the vitality of First Parish and our strong sense of community. She celebrates the yearning for depth and the desire to make a difference in the world that she finds here.

Yeast is arguably the most important ingredient in beer, and it's usually the least recognized, so we brought in the experts to chat about it. Richard and Nate, Co-Founders of Ontario's premier yeast establishment, Escarpment Labs, joined Cee and Nate to get hyper nerdy about yeast and what it exactly is, how yeast is created and how it interacts with the other ingredients in beer, how they came up with their Pink Boots yeast strain, how yeast helps retain haze, how they create a bank of yeast, how non-alcoholic yeast works, their merger with Le Labo in Quebec and the differentiation between the two companies, how they work with Lallemand yeast, why Canadian breweries should use Canadian yeast, how to make Vegemite with yeast, and why breweries should buy professional yeast for their beers. They got into some great beers using their products - Fairweather x BAOS Podcast Purish Kiwi Common, Royal City x Escarpment Labs Luminance Double IPA, Royal City Mark It Zero Non-Alcoholic IPA, and Great Lakes Electric Spritz Hard Seltzer.

Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy 03:13 Understanding Shoulder Pain and Its Complexities 06:04 The Shift from Impingement to Rotator Cuff Related Pain 09:00 The Role of Imaging in Shoulder Pain Diagnosis 11:58 Common Mismanagement in Shoulder Pain Treatment 15:10 Loading Programs for Rotator Cuff Rehabilitation 18:04 Positional vs. Energy Storage Tendons 20:59 The Nature of Rotator Cuff Tears 24:07 The Tipping Point to Pain in Rotator Cuff Pathology 32:53 Understanding Rotator Cuff Tears 39:26 The Role of Exercise in Recovery 46:47 Pain Management and Rehabilitation Strategies 55:19 Exploring the Mechanisms of Tendon Pain 01:00:18 The Importance of Tendon Stiffness Takeaways Rotator cuff related shoulder pain accounts for 70-80% of shoulder pain presentations. Pain is complex and multifactorial, making diagnosis challenging. The traditional impingement model is being challenged in favor of a broader understanding of shoulder pain. Imaging often does not influence management decisions for rotator cuff issues. Corticosteroid injections provide only short-term relief and can have negative effects on tendon quality. Exercise-based management is crucial for effective rehabilitation of shoulder pain. The rotator cuff tendons are positional and strain less than energy storage tendons. Rotator cuff tears are common and can exist without pain or dysfunction. Age is the biggest risk factor for developing rotator cuff pathology. Understanding the tipping point to pain is essential for effective treatment. Rotator cuff tears are often associated with poor vascular supply and degeneration over time. Metabolic factors like diabetes and smoking can increase the risk of rotator cuff tears. Exercise can be as effective as surgery for massive rotator cuff tears. Expectations of recovery significantly influence rehabilitation outcomes. Education about the commonality of tendon tears can help reduce patient anxiety. Pain during exercise can be tolerated up to a certain level without adverse effects. Sleeping positions can impact shoulder pain and should be modified accordingly. Adjunct treatments like shockwave therapy and corticosteroids have limited long-term benefits. Tendon stiffness is important for efficient force transfer, but its role in pain management is still being studied. Understanding the psychological aspects of pain can enhance recovery from tendon injuries.

One of our favourite beer scenes on the planet is the glorious state of North Carolina, and this past winter, we were lucky enough to visit twice. On the way down to Florida, we swung by Raleigh, NC, and our first stop was Funguys Brewing, an innovation-driven spot that came highly recommended by friend of the show, Will Cleveland. Cee hung out with Nick and Carly to chat about the North Carolina scene, their homebrew beginnings in Pittsburgh, PA, their love for Mac Miller and their annual dedicated releases, their take on the longevity of different styles, their favourite hops, their fun approach to smoothies and seltzers, why their beers always have a story, and their upcoming seventh anniversary releases. They got into six impeccable Funguys beers - Von Brango Pilsner, Thumbs Up Hazy IPA (Mac Miller Dedication), Spring Cleaning West Coast IPA, Good News Double IPA (Mac Miller Dedication), Bussin' Cool-Ade Inspired Hard Seltzer, and It's On Like DK!

Recent research shows shockwave therapy is ineffective for tendon pain. Calcification in tendons may be an adaptive response. PRP injections do not outperform placebo treatments. Stem cell therapy lacks sufficient evidence for tendon healing. Adjunct therapies should be accessible, cheap, and safe. Heel wedges have shown significant effects in treating Achilles tendinopathy. Loading strategies must be tailored to individual patient needs. Tendon stiffness is primarily improved through heavy loading. Fluid movement within tendons is essential for adaptation. Loading the tendon heavier leads to better fluid movement. Isometrics are crucial for early rehabilitation stages. Heavy maximal eccentrics are key for long-term adaptation. Fluid movement impacts stress relaxation in tendons. Tendon stiffness increases with appropriate loading. Metabolic health is essential for tendon adaptation. Pathological tendons may require different loading strategies. Fluid movement can help reduce pain and improve function. Plyometrics may not provide sufficient strain for adaptation. Blood flow restriction can be effective for tendon rehabilitation. Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-131-tendons-with-peter-malliaras/

Rev. Tricia Brennan, Adjunct Minister, preaching Worship service given March 2, 2025 Prayer by David Whitford, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Joy is an intrinsic element of spiritual life that can exist side by side with all that hurts, discourages and troubles us. Joy can seem elusive and still shows up unexpectedly. The times we are in call for all the joy we can muster. Offering and Giving First For March 2025, the Giving First recipient is the Resilient Sisterhood Project. Cambridge-based Resilient Sisterhood Project's mission is to educate and empower women of African descent regarding common, yet rarely discussed, diseases of the reproductive system that disproportionately affect them. They approach these diseases and associated issues through a cultural and social justice lens since they understand that poor knowledge of reproductive health is primarily related to health, racial, and socioeconomic disparities. RSP brings an expansive definition to and understanding of the word “women” to include transgender women, cisgender women, gender queer, and gender non-conforming people who have a female reproductive system. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text “fpuu” to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive. About our Lead Minister: Rev. Marta Flanagan began her ministry as our twentieth called minister at First Parish in the fall of 2009. She is a genuine and forthright preacher. In conversation she is direct and engaging. She speaks of prayer with as much ease as she laughs at human foibles. We call her “Marta.” Marta is a religious liberal, a theist, a feminist, and a lover of the woods. As a student of American history at Smith College she was captivated by the stories of social reformers who were motivated and sustained by their faith. That led her to consider the ministry and to study at Harvard Divinity School from where she was graduated in 1986. She was the first woman minister in the city of Salem, Massachusetts, serving at the First Universalist Church there (1987-1997). She served in a co-ministry at South Church (Unitarian Universalist) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, (1997-2005) from where she is minister emerita. Marta served as interim minister in Montpelier, Vermont (2008-2009). She is trained as a spiritual director. For three years she lived in the Vermont woods practicing voluntary simplicity and the spiritual life. Marta enjoys the vitality of First Parish and our strong sense of community. She celebrates the yearning for depth and the desire to make a difference in the world that she finds here.
Kitchener, ON is a tight-knit brewing scene, and one man has been a pillar of the community for around a decade now. Rob Hern launched Short Finger Brewing in 2019 after running a successful home brew shop out of the same space, and he jumped back on the pod after two years to catch Cee and Nate up. They touched on his love for his "bastard Gueuze", why he transitioned from a home brew shop to a brewery, his connection with Bebo from Third Moon, how he curates his taproom lineup, the full story behind Pulp (his legendary collab with the now-defunct Barncat Artisan Ales) and successful launch event, his Eisbock collab with the also now-defunct Half Hours On Earth, his relationship with Arabella Park, the story behind their flagship Lando, and they also talked about the Short Finger x BAOS collab for the BAOS 10th Anniversary this spring. They got into five killer beers - Lil' Sippy mixed fermentation session saison collab with Escarpment Labs, True Believer Pale Ale, Existential Risk golden sour aged in peach brandy barrels, Fresh Hell Helles Lager, and Lando (AI) variant, their neutral oak blended barrel-aged farmhouse "bastard" Gueuze.

In this thought-provoking podcast, we dive deep into Marxism vs Capitalism, exploring how a former capitalist embraced Marxist teachings. We break down Communism explained, its real-world impact, and the history of communism in countries like China, Russia, and Nepal. What's the difference between Socialism vs Communism? Why has Marxism failed in many nations? We discuss authoritarianism vs totalitarianism, the Panchayat system in Nepal, and how political ideologies shape societies. Learn how Nepali communist parties operate and whether they truly follow leftist principles. The conversation also touches on Hinduism and communism, whether communism and religion can coexist, and how NGOs and INGOs in Nepal influence politics. From the Cambodian genocide explained to Mao's China and communism, we analyze history's biggest communist experiments. Do communists create enemies to stay in power? What is the future of Marxism? Can capitalism bridge class struggles, or is it the root of inequality? We uncover the reality of Nepali political ideology and what lies ahead.

The United States government spends more than $600 billion on goods and services sourced from third-party suppliers. As the largest consumer in the world, the U.S government issues thousands of contracts to companies. With that opportunity comes the responsibility to distribute contract dollars equitably, across a wide range of business classifications and avoid providing an advantage to one type of business. Supplier diversity involves the policies, procedures, and programs that support equitable inclusion of small and/or diverse organizations in access and receipt of vendor contracts. In this episode, the host of the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast sit down with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategist Jaime Coleman to advise small business on how to bid for a government contract and to examine how governments are performing on their equity in procurement/supplier diversity goals. Jaime Coleman most recently served as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategist for a midsize city in North Carolina. As a one-person department, Jaime ideated and led all internal DEI learning & development and its corresponding compliance, reviewed and revised policies, engaged with stakeholders to establish trust with the municipality, represented the organization at various community and cultural events, and facilitated relationships between internal departments and historically underutilized businesses (HUB).Jaime's career started in Higher Education. Priding herself on being well-read and well-researched, Jaime believes that knowledge, open-mindedness, and understanding are essential tools to address many social ills. With years of experience as an Adjunct, she uses her facilitation skills to deliver interactive workshops that create openness, and equip and inspire the audience to take meaningful action. Jaime is a passionate advocate for people. She understands the importance of internal culture and its impact on external constituents.Personally, Jaime cherishes time with her husband and children. Jaime is an avid reader, a certified trauma-informed yoga instructor, and a seasoned traveler. Jaime earned her MBA from Georgetown University, holds a Master's from NYU, and her Bachelor's is from Rutgers University. Jaime appreciates invitations to contribute and promises to deliver.Share these insights from this episode: The United States federal government has procurement targets for each business classification for every department. The local chamber of commerce, economic development department, small business resource center, and community college are excellent resources for small businesses. Jaime Coleman shares a five-step process for small businesses to earn contracts with local, state, and federal governments.

China has approved the construction of what will become the world's largest hydropower dam in Tibet. Located in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo river, it could generate three times more energy than the Three Gorges Dam – also built by China - and currently the worlds' biggest. This Inquiry examines how important hydropower is for China's economy, whether it will meet its climate goals and whether this new dam is a “safe project that prioritises ecological protection” as China claims. We look at how it'll be built, and why some in neighbouring countries have concerns.

Oregon has forever been renowned as one of the greatest craft beer scenes in North America, perhaps the world, and it's a travesty that we hadn't had a brewery from the state on the pod until now. Ben Edmunds, Co-Founder and Brewmaster at Breakside Brewery, joined Cee to chat about their esteemed 15-year history, how Oregon craft beer hadn't fallen to the trends, how they took the brewery from one location to six across the state, their approach to hospitality, how they drop around 10 fresh hop beers every year, what it's like being 20 minutes from the best hop farms in the world, their barrel program, their flagship beers and his take on Ontario craft beer from his time at the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference in 2024. They got into seven impeccable Breakside beers - White Tea Lager, Tropical Pale, Pilsner, Wanderlust West Coast IPA, West Coast, Best Coast IPA collab with Grains of Wrath, Somebody New In The Old West (2024) Barrel-Aged Stout, and Don't Worry About That Fireplace (2024) Barrel-Aged Stout.

Editor's Summary by Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS, Editor in Chief, and Preeti Malani, MD, MSJ, Deputy Editor of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for articles published from January 11-17, 2025.
We say this every time, but this annual episode is easily our favourite to consider and to film. Reflecting on the past year in craft beer in Ontario is always rewarding as we recall some of our favourite podcasts, brewery visits, beers and moments, and 2024 was a truly phenomenal year. While we had some closures, overall the level of quality and competition was the hottest to date, and putting together our collective Top 10 Ontario breweries was incredibly difficult. As with the Top 10 Quebec Breweries episode, we implemented a new point system where we actually put them in order from 1-10 and allocated 10 points for #1, 9 points for #2 and so on. As always, no spoilers allowed here - grab some of your fave Ontario craft beer and drink along with us! Cheers to a fantastic year, and we're excited to see what 2025 brings.

Each skill is signed off on completion, creating a log of skills/actions performed by the student. Their article provides additional details about their bingo game.
With the invasion of Ukraine nearing the 1000-day mark, there are questions about where Ukraine's defenders find themselves. Russia has been making a strong push to stake out more ground, and in Russian-occupied territory there a reports of its soldiers hunting civilians. Despite an offensive into Russia earlier this year, the situation seems to be dire.And when America votes today on its next president, few countries will have as much at stake as Ukraine, which faces the possibility of being all but abandoned by America with a Trump victory. Meanwhile, would a Harris victory do anything more for Ukraine than the status quo? And is the presence of North Korean troops in Russia an indication this war is about to become more than a "regional" conflict?GUEST: Dr. Balkan Devlen, Director of the Transatlantic Program and Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Adjunct professor at Carleton University, expert forecaster for Good Judgment Inc.
