Canada-China Relations and Chinese Deception Guest: Charles Burton Charles Burton, author of The Beaver and the Dragon, discussed Canada's troubled relationship with China, criticizing the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for adopting rhetoric favoring "pragmatic and constructive relations," suggesting Canada might ally with China's geostrategic goal of undermining U.S.-backed liberal democracies, with Carney's accelerated meetings with Xi Jinping possibly being attempts to secure market access or apply pressure on the U.S., while Burton noted concerns over the non-implementation of Canada's foreign agent registry despite issues like Chinese espionage and election interference. 1904

Language assessments shape who gets services, how goals are written, and how progress is measured, but there are many misconceptions about how to follow best-practices when doing an evaluation. In this three-part series, bilingual SLPs Destiny Johnson and Tiffany Shahoumian-Ruiz join me to dig into the science, the myths, and the policies that shape evaluation practices in schools.Across these conversations, we explore:Sensitivity, specificity, reference standards, and diagnostic accuracyHow test development has evolved over time and why this matters Why the same cut-off score shouldn't apply across all testsThe math behind using two norm-referenced tests, and why it may complicate rather than clarify in some casesOther reasons we test beyond diagnosis (treatment planning, severity, monitoring progress)How do we do we to “sell” the concept of dynamic assessment to administratorsCase studies that show the pitfalls of over-reliance on standardized scoresMisconceptions clinicians often hold, and what they should know about assessmentDifferences in state eligibility standards, and what this means for service decisionsThis series is part myth-busting, part practical strategies, and part advocacy playbook—perfect for clinicians who want to move beyond compliance-driven evaluations toward assessments that truly reflect students' needs.You can listen to Part 1 of the series here.Destiny Johnson, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a bilingual speech-language pathologist (English/Spanish) with a deep passion for culturally responsive assessment and treatment practices, as well as advocating for policy change.

This thought-provoking book presents a radically revised version of human prehistory. In a departure from previous works in this area, which have compiled puzzling phenomena and speculative ideas, this volume - the first in a series of four - provides a coherent and conclusive framework that offers a better understanding of our collective prehistoric history. Many events from a bygone era that are often dismissed as myth or fringe theory are investigated through the lens of mathematics and the natural sciences. The result is a compelling concept that challenges entrenched beliefs and sheds new light on distant past of humanity.Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the place of humankind in nature and the cosmos is explored. In particular, this book provides answers to the question of whether humans are solely the product of natural evolution or if genetic engineering has influenced our development. It critically reinterprets the global spread of humanity, particularly the settlement of the Americas, in light of the latest findings from field research. In addition, it examines the astonishing mathematical and scientific knowledge of ancient civilizations, which reveals how little we truly understand about prehistory. The insights presented call for a paradigm shift in how we perceive our origins and evolution. Readers seeking a deeper and more nuanced understanding of history will find this a stimulating and transformative view.Aloys Eiling was born on 2 Oct. 1952 in Reken, Germany. He graduated from Gymnasium with a focus on ancient languages and history. He later went on to study physics and astronomy. He completed his studies with a doctorate in 1981 at the University of Bochum. In his professional career, he worked for 35 years in the chemical industry. After 17 years as a laboratory and department head in Central Research, he managed global Business Units in some major chemical companies. After his retirement in 2016, he published various books using natural science to elucidate his different perspective on prehistory.https://grahamhancock.com/author/aloys-eiling/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

The Finance Minister's being urged to take urgent and decisive action on our banking sector. Ministers have accepted most of the recommendations of a select committee inquiry into the industry, including directing the Reserve Bank to focus on more competition. But banking expert Andrew Body says Nicola Willis needs to go further. He told Mike Hosking the Minister should be seeking law changes and a harmonisation of Australian and New Zealand banking rules. Body says the Minister should be ringing Treasury Secretary Ian Rennie, asking for a proposal for legislative change by 8am Monday. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's guest is Raul Monroig, People Organization Vice President for the Intercon Region at Bristol Myers Squibb. Bristol Myers Squibb manufactures prescription medicines across oncology, hematology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, and neuroscience. With a truly global footprint, the company's research, manufacturing, and commercial presence spans more than 60 countries, and with such scale, of course, comes the complexity of managing a vast workforce. Raul joins Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello to discuss how global HR teams can embrace AI to tackle critical challenges in workforce development. With AI adoption accelerating at breakneck speed, it may be that focusing on a small set of essential skills like curiosity, agility, and customer service orientation —  rather than training employees on everything all at once — may be the paradigm shift that helps drive organisational success.

We explore the deeper parallels between global complacency around climate change and Bitcoin's own looming security budget crisis. As we draw connections between scientific foresight and the importance of building long-term solutions early, like the @natgmi token's proactive approach to reinforcing miner incentives before block rewards fully erode. We analyze why 40% of Bitcoin's total hash power now participates through @AntPoolofficial, @SpiderPool_com, and @f2pool_official, marking a critical milestone for miner alignment. The discussion expands into how market manipulation, shallow narratives, and copycat projects distort crypto's growth, contrasting these with organic innovation rooted in Bitcoin's principles. The conversation closes with the DMT protocol's vision to extend Bitcoin's data across all chains and a sharp look at @Zcash privacy resurgence as institutional influence tightens around Bitcoin.

Pennsylvania Democrats made significant gains in Tuesday's election – even in places that strongly supported Donald Trump last year. Four members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives are preparing to leave their seats after winning local races. Now that election day voting is over, the next task for election officials in Pennsylvania is to officially certify the results. PA Secretary of State Al Schmidt says that process should take about 2 weeks. Health providers and emergency rooms in Philadelphia have seen an uptick in seizures among patients who use street drugs. Fathers are often left out of maternal and child health decisions but a bill which has been passed by the state House aims to change that. And a deep dive: Health systems across Pennsylvania are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence to aid them in administrative tasks like medical documentation and in clinical settings with imaging and diagnostics. But as the technology quickly evolves, clinicians, lawmakers and patient safety experts are trying to figure out how to monitor and regulate this new area of medicine.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adopting a child? Dr. Friday shares good news about the updated adoption credit—now refundable and easier to claim starting in 2025. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. There has been some helpful easing of the adoption credit. First, I'd like to thank anyone that's ever adopted a child. I think that's an awesome thing to do, and to be able to get some financial help from your taxes—another financial wonder. So beginning in 2025, up to a $5,000 credit, adjusted for inflation, is refundable when you’re dealing with an adoption. Sometimes we didn't have that, right? Sometimes you could take off your expenses, you got reimbursed for them, it would roll over. This is pretty straightforward, and this way you get a little extra money to help put in your pockets and raise those perfect little babies. 615-367-0819.

Stephanie interviews Elise Tegegne, author of In Praise of House Flies. They discuss finding God's presence, grace, and growth in the ordinary and sometimes challenging moments of daily life. Spiritual growth is cultivated not by spectacular moments, but by surrender, humility, dependence, and wonder woven into the fabric of everyday life. As Elise's experience, book, and wisdom reveal, God meets us in the little things—if we will simply open our eyes and hearts to Him. Elise's story begins with her call to serve as a missionary teacher in Ethiopia—an experience that brought her, for the first time, into the depths of her own inadequacy. Far from home and outside her comfort zone, she quickly realized she could not succeed on her own. Failure and discomfort became a means by which she experienced true intimacy with God. When everything felt overwhelming, the only option was to get “on her knees,” literally and figuratively, praying for help. Elise discusses how being confronted with her own limits brought a new kind of freedom. Growing up as a high-performing student, she hadn't needed to rely on anyone but herself. But in Ethiopia, humility was forced upon her—and it led to spiritual liberation. Humility is the posture that opens us to God's grace. It's not natural or easy—especially for those of us wired for achievement or “Martha” types—but it's essential. Elise points out that praying for humility is scary, but necessary, and God has ways to gently answer that prayer. True humility is not self-deprecation but a realistic acknowledgment of need—opening the way for grace. God “gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5). Cultivating humility by embracing moments that challenge our sense of control, happens by asking Him for a gentle, transforming touch. Motherhood and daily life made Elise redefine prayer. No longer only reserved for a quiet hour, prayer became integrated into every moment: while nursing her baby, washing dishes, or shopping with her in-laws, who taught her to pray over even the smallest activities. Prayer can permeate our entire day. Turn every activity—however small—into a moment of connection and dependence on God. “In everything, by prayer and supplication, make your requests known to God.” The title of Elise's book, In Praise of House Flies, inspires us to look for God's presence even in the annoyances and the mundane: the “house fly” moments we'd rather swat away. Life is lived not just in the big events, but in myriad little acts of faithfulness, wonder, and surrender. Adopting a childlike wonder, Elise encourages us to practice gratitude, see the holy in the everyday, and recognize God's gifts everywhere. Resist waiting for the “next big thing.” Instead, let's train our attention on the daily opportunities God gives for transformation, gratitude, and worship. Like children, we marvel at the beauty and sacredness embedded in the ordinary. MORE ABOUT ELISE TEGEGNE AND HER BOOK, “IN PRAISE OF HOUSEFLIES” Through the lens of personal experience, Elise Tegegne reflects on the redemptive glimmers in ordinary challenges ranging from canceled flights to insomnia. In Praise of Houseflies gives readers an opportunity to listen for what their own everyday quandaries can teach and to delight in the abundant graces blossoming within them. It is an essential message of hope, joy, and redemption imparted through deep, nourishing reflection. Elise says of herself, “Living alone and young as a high school French teacher in Ethiopia, I found a world that beautifully upended mine. I found God with skin and bones. And I found the one my soul loves. After giving birth to my son, I left my teaching career to pursue the delights of motherhood and writing. Since then I've been listening for God's voice in the rhythms of everyday life, keeping my eyes open for abundant graces—and seeking to capture what I find in words. My first book In Praise of Houseflies: Meditations on the Gifts in Everyday Quandaries (Calla Press) is now available wherever books are sold. I received a BA in Creative Writing and French from Indiana University and hold an MFA from Seattle Pacific University. “ More at https://www.elisetegegne.com/  Support us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

This "Meet the Guru" episode introduces Alex Naber, a seasoned medical device consultant at Greenlight Guru, offering listeners a deep dive into his background and expertise. Alex shares his journey, beginning in bioengineering and progressing through roles in complaints, field action, design quality, and post-market quality management at a major orthopedic company (Zimmer Biomet). His experience highlights the crucial need for expert guidance in navigating complex MedTech regulations and quality management system (QMS) pathways.Alex and host Etienne Nichols discuss the immense value of having a diverse internal team of consultants to draw from—a collective knowledge base that helps solve complex problems for clients. They emphasize that quality professionals don't need to know "everything" but rather must have the right resources and a "beginner's mindset" to guide companies effectively. The conversation also explores how modern software, like Greenlight Guru's QMS and EDC solutions, eliminates common industry pain points, such as fragmented, error-prone spreadsheet-based design controls by building true, linked traceability directly into the eQMS.Finally, the discussion touches on the philosophical "why" of the medical device industry: the patient. Alex shares a personal story about how orthopedics improved his grandfather's quality of life, underscoring the importance of maintaining a patient-first ethos. They conclude by discussing the upcoming QMSR transition, reassuring listeners that compliance is manageable, especially for those already adhering to ISO 13485.Key Timestamps[01:50] Alex Naber's MedTech Career Path: From Bioengineering to Design Quality and Post-Market Management.[04:30] The Power of Pooled Expertise: Why Greenlight Guru's Consultant Team is a "Sherpa up the mountain."[07:35] The Problem with Spreadsheets: Comparing traditional Design Control methods to modern eQMS traceability.[11:00] Accelerating Compliance: How Greenlight Guru's QMS Templates dramatically cut implementation time.[13:30] The Bloated QMS: Why adopting procedures from large corporations may hinder small-to-midsize companies.[16:00] Design Quality Explained: Marrying R&D/Product Development with QMS compliance.[21:30] The MedTech Ethos: Focusing on the patient and improving quality of life.[27:00] CAPA Management Insights: The critical distinction between Correction and Corrective Action.[30:25] Navigating the QMSR Transition: Reassurance that compliance isn't "that deep" if you are already ISO 13485 compliant.Quotes"It's a rewarding thing to just understand that you don't need to know everything. I think that's a thing that... people should realize and they should reach out to other people that are smarter or more experienced in realms that they don't understand." - Alex Naber"I think what got me into MedTech was more of the ethos behind it... We're creating products to make patients' lives better, to impact our world, our society in a positive manner, to give a better quality of life to individuals." - Alex NaberTakeawaysSeek a Unified Quality Solution: Fragmented quality processes (e.g., design controls in spreadsheets separate from the QMS) introduce significant regulatory risk.

George Werbacher, Head of Security Operations at Live Oak Bank, reviews the practical realities of implementing AI agents in security operations, sharing his journey from exploring tools like Cursor and Claude Code to building custom agents in-house. He also reflects on the challenges of moving from local development to production-ready systems with proper durability and retry logic. The conversation explores how AI is changing the security analyst role from alert analysis to deeper investigation work, why SOAR platforms face significant disruption, and how MCP servers enable natural language interactions across security tools. George offers pragmatic advice on cutting through AI hype, emphasizing that agents augment rather than replace human expertise while dramatically lowering barriers to automation and query language mastery. Through technical insights and leadership perspective, George illuminates how security teams can embrace AI to improve operational efficiency and mean time to detect without inflating budgets, while maintaining the critical human judgment that effective security demands. Topics discussed: Understanding AI's role in augmenting security analysts rather than replacing them, shifting roles toward investigation and threat hunting. Building custom AI agents using Python and exploring frameworks like LangChain to solve specific SecOps use cases. Managing moving agents from local development to production, including retry logic, failbacks, and durability requirements. Implementing MCP servers to enable natural language interactions with security tools, eliminating the need to learn multiple query languages. Navigating AI hype by focusing on solving specific problems and understanding what agents can realistically accomplish. Predicting SOAR platform disruption as agents take over enrichment, orchestration, and response with simpler automation approaches. Removing platform barriers by enabling analysts to use natural language rather than mastering specific tools or query languages. Exploring context management, prompt engineering, and conversation history techniques essential for building effective agentic systems. Adopting tools like Cursor and Claude Code to empower technical security professionals without deep coding backgrounds.  Listen to more episodes:  Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

In today's fast-paced world, leadership is undergoing a transformative journey. The old paradigm of leading through control and authority is being replaced by a conscious, heart-centered approach that values authenticity, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence.In this new episode, Sophie Vo Vo and Marko Kecmann, business partner in games for 11 years, explore the essence of this evolution, uncovering key insights and practical steps leaders can take to embark on their own inner work journey.Leadership Coaching WisdomThe Power of Letting GoA recurring theme in leadership evolution is recognizing the need to let go of control. Leaders often try to micromanage and dictate every aspect of their team's operations. However, true leadership lies in empowering others and trusting them to bring their skills to fruition.Instead of dictating terms, embrace the idea that leadership means guiding, influencing, and inspiring others to achieve common goals.Active ListeningOne of the most undervalued yet crucial skills in leadership is active listening. It involves listening not to respond, but to truly understand and empathize with others' perspectives. Practicing active listening opens up channels for deeper communication, enabling leaders to connect with their teams on a more authentic level.Be a Life StudentLeadership is not about having all the answers, but about constantly learning and growing. Adopting a mindset of continual education and curiosity allows leaders to remain adaptable and open to new ideas.As Sophie mentioned, even at the age of 50 or 60, remain a student to effectively lead evolving teams.3 Signs You Have Shadows in Your Leadership#1 Defensiveness to FeedbackIf you find yourself defending every critique instead of embracing it, it might signal underlying shadows. Such reactions often stem from insecurity or an inflated ego, masking deeper issues that require attention.#2 A Constant Need for ControlOver-managing and a reluctance to delegate can be indicators of internal shadows driven by fear of failure or losing authority. Observe if this need springs from an authentic place or is clouded by past experiences and perceptions.#3 Avoidance of VulnerabilityAn unwillingness to show vulnerability can prevent authentic connections with your team. Shadows often manifest in maintaining a façade of perfection or invulnerability, hindering growth and mutual trust.Where Can You Start To Practice Self-Awareness?Journaling and ReflectionSet aside time for regular journaling to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Writing can illuminate patterns and provide clarity on personal challenges and areas for growth.Seek Feedback and CoachingInvite feedback from peers and consider engaging with a coach to gain external perspectives and guidance. A coach can help identify blind spots and support you in navigating personal and professional challenges.Mindfulness and Somatic PracticesEngage in mindfulness exercises and somatic practices to become attuned to your inner experiences. Techniques such as meditation, breathwork, or guided visualization can aid in reducing stress and promoting emotional regulation.Join Leadership Circles or RetreatsParticipating in leadership-focused workshops or retreats offers a supportive environment to explore self-awareness. Engaging with others who are on a similar journey fosters learning and peer support.ConclusionLeadership is no longer about wielding power over others; it is about fostering a space where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best. Embracing inner work through self-awareness, vulnerability, and continuous learning is vital for modern leaders.By acknowledging and releasing the shadows that hinder our potential, we pave the way for a more compassionate and connected leadership landscape.Join Sophie and Marko in embracing this revolution in leadership—a journey that starts from within

During the First World War, over 300,000 Italian emigrants returned to Italy from around the world to perform their conscripted military service, a mass mobilisation which was a uniquely Italian phenomenon. But what happened to these men following their arrival and once the war had ended? In Emigrant Soldiers: Mobilising Italians Abroad in the First World War (Cambridge UP, 2025) Dr. Selena Daly reconstructs the lives of these emigrant soldiers before, during and after the First World War, considering their motivations, combat experiences, demobilisation, and lives under Fascism and in the Second World War. Adopting a micro-historical approach, Emigrant Soldiers explores the diverse fates of four men who returned from the United States, Brazil, France, and Britain, interwoven with accounts of other emigrants from across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Australia. Through letters, diaries, memoirs, oral histories, newspapers, and diplomatic reports, Dr. Daly focuses on the experiences and voices of the emigrant soldiers, providing a new global account of Italians during the First World War. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

TGIF! Father Anthony with Tony, and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish.  Today Father opens the show with much needed prayer. After prayer Father reads from an article that he came across titled “Adopting a Medieval Peasant Mindset” a view on how to disconnect and live in the present.  As they discuss this, they agree that they are rambling, getting through life and they hope you are able to follow the message as you listen.  St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On the episode IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon welcomes guest and Purple Patch Athlete Marina Gelman. In 2000, at the age of 40, Marina Gelman lost her college-aged daughter in a tragic car accident. At the time, Gelman was a new fitness enthusiast and avid runner. Overcome by grief after the accident, however, she holed herself up for almost two years and focused only on work to numb the pain. Unfortunately, during this time, she abandoned her fitness goals, started smoking again after a long hiatus, and put on weight; reaching over 200 pounds. Ironically, it was another tragedy a short time later, the death of her Father from a heart attack, that inspired her to start training again. As it turns out, training non-stop turned out to be a blessing and a curse. Yes, she lost weight and found relief from her stress and heartache, but she was also overtraining…severely. Marina eventually succumbed to the devastating effects of chronic fatigue. Even the simple act of walking up a flight of stairs became unbearable.  In 2012, after hearing about Matt Dixon and Purple Patch from her running club, she reached out. At the time, she was 240 pounds, her heaviest. She explained to Matt that she had only two small goals: Recover from her chronic fatigue Run three miles again. That's it. Matt set her sights higher. Not only did he give her hope, but he also gave her a long-term structured plan and a wonderful community of support. Today, Marina Gelman is a Half-Ironman finisher, with her hopes set on finishing a full Ironman in the near future. She has also lost 105 pounds and trains daily, fully recovered from chronic fatigue.   This is a story of hope and promise. Adopting an athletic mindset, regardless of where you find yourself, just may be the one spark to save your life. “Losing a child is something unimaginable to go through,” says Marina. “Sport, in a way, and running saved me from sadness for the rest of my life.” If you have any questions about the Purple Patch program, feel free to reach out at info@purplepatchfitness.com Purple Patch and Episode Resources Check out our world-class coaching and training options: Book a complementary needs assessment coaching call: https://calendly.com/coaches-purplepatch/offseason-assessment-call Tri Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/squad 1:1 Coaching: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/11-coached Run Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness/com/run-squad Strength Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/strength-1 Live & On-Demand Bike Sessions: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/bike Explore our training options in detail: https://bit.ly/3XBo1Pi  Live in San Francisco?

Sometimes the path to parenthood looks nothing like we planned.For Kristen, years of infertility led to adoption... and ten days after bringing her daughter home from the NICU, a cystic fibrosis diagnosis turned her world upside down again. In this episode, she shares what it's been like to navigate open adoption alongside the realities of raising a medically complex child: the intertwined joy of becoming a parent and the heartbreak of another family's separation, the shock of adiagnosis, the fog of early grief, the gaps in family medical history, and the delicate balance of honoring her daughter's birth family while advocating for her care.If you've ever wondered what it's really like to navigate disability and adoption at the same time, this conversation pulls back the curtain. Links:Join The Rare Life newsletter and never miss an update!Fill out our contact form to join upcoming discussion groups!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Connect with Kristen on Instagram @deep_delightful_life!Donate to the podcast or Contact me about sponsoring an episode.Follow the Facebook page.

When Kelsey and Frankie Dame couldn't conceive naturally, they were offered IVF as the obvious solution. But as believers, they didn't want to assume that they should pursue IVF just because they could. Instead, they asked, “What does the Christian worldview say about this?” Their journey through infertility is thought-provoking and redemptive. It helps us think well about navigating conversations about IVF in a culture where our ethics haven't caught up to our technology.    Show Notes  Nightlight Christian adoptions  National Embryonic Donation Center in Tennessee  Katie Faust  Truth Rising  Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion by Abigail Favale  Well Read Mom  The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo __________ The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.
