In this episode we answer emails from Ron, Iain, an Anonymous Visitor and Mr. Data.  We discuss Ron's generosity and his variable or guardrails withdrawal strategy, some helpful British website references, what we use bonds for in these portfolio and how the TSP G fund fits into that, and small cap growth vs. small cap value stocks.  And some notes on recent market turmoil.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterPortfolio Charts Retirement Spending:  Retirement Spending – Portfolio ChartsMonevator Quilt Chart:  Asset allocation quilt – the winners and losers of the last 10 years - Monevator Just ETF (UK) Page:  ETF portfolios made simpleShannon's Demon Article:  Unexpected Returns: Shannon's Demon & the Rebalancing Bonus – Portfolio ChartsAmusing Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Market crashes reveal the true value of diversification. While Professor Jeremy Siegel called last week's events "the worst policy mistake in US economic history in the last 95 years," properly structured portfolios weathered the storm remarkably well.The recent market plunge shows exactly why risk parity strategies work—the S&P 500 dropped 13.3%, NASDAQ fell 17.2%, but our All Seasons portfolio remained flat for the year. This divergence creates powerful rebalancing opportunities that can enhance long-term returns.Looking at performance across asset classes reveals a classic recession pattern: falling stocks, rising treasury bonds, and initial panic selling followed by differentiated recoveries. Long-term Treasury bonds (VGLT) are up 7.2% for the year, demonstrating their crucial diversification role during market stress. Gold, despite some wobbles, remains up 15.7% year-to-date.The mathematical principle behind this outperformance is what Claude Shannon described as "Shannon's Demon"—when assets perform differently at different times, periodic rebalancing allows the portfolio to outperform any individual component. This explains why we maintain exposure to both growth and value styles, rather than trying to predict which will outperform next.For DIY investors, this market correction offers valuable lessons about portfolio construction. Understanding why you hold each asset—whether for stability, income, or diversification—is far more important than chasing yields. The Golden Butterfly portfolio, with its balanced approach across stocks, bonds, and gold, is only down 1.78% year-to-date while continuing to provide consistent distributions.Want to learn more about building resilient portfolios?

In this special episode, we sit down with the legendary Randy Mosher, a renowned beer expert, author, and brewing visionary. From his groundbreaking books like Tasting Beer to his latest research on how we perceive taste and aroma, Randy shares fascinating insights into the science behind beer appreciation. We talk about his journey from homebrewer to one of the most influential beer writers, how our senses of taste and smell work and why they matter, and the role of perception, memory, and language in beer tasting. We also explore how brewing traditions and creativity shape the global beer scene. During our conversation, we enjoy a smoked wheat beer from Poland, discuss different beer styles, and dive into the art and science of flavor in a way only Randy Mosher can.

He is “The Man for All Seasons”.Name the sport and Rod Black has more than likely called the game.For 40 years, the award-winning broadcaster has had a front row seat and provided a soundtrack to many of Canada's greatest sports moments.From his early days as a young reporter at CKY TV in Winnipeg to his network commitments as a host and play by play announcer with CTV and TSN, Black has done it all. From NHL hockey to the NBA, Major League Baseball to the NFL and CFL, PGA & LPGA golf, World Championship boxing, ATP and WTA tennis, international figure skating, Indy Car and Formula One auto racing, the Masters, the Kentucky Derby, World Cup Soccer, speedskating, cycling, Canadian & USA college sports and of course both the Summer and Winter Olympics where Black not only hosted prime time shows in 1992 and1994 but also called several historic gold medals in 2010 and 2012.A consummate professional who displays passion and excitement in all that he does, Black is a nine time Canadian Screen Award & Gemini nominee. In 2005, Rod received the Sports Media Canada award for Most Outstanding Broadcaster.Inducted into the media wing of the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame, Black's broadcasting abilities are not limited to the sports world. The ultra-adaptable announcer is a popular guest speaker, a voice and film actor, an author, and the former co-host of Canada AM-Canada's most-watched national morning show.Despite his chaotic work schedule Rod still has found time to lend his voice and donate his time to a great number of Canadian charities – Special Olympics, Sick Kids Hospital, Childrens Aid Foundation, Easter Seals, United Way, Right to Play, Pro Action Cops and Kids, Kids Help Phone, Canadian Cancer Society, CNIB, CAMH, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and many more.An honorary spokesperson and ambassador for Plan Canada, Rod has received the Queen's medallion and Diamond Jubilee medal for volunteerism.When asked what his favorite moment has been in his acclaimed career, Rod pauses and says, “The next one. Truly, I absolutely love every memory, but I also wake up every day knowing that there are new great memories to discover. That is what sport teaches us. To enjoy the moments and create new ones. Learn all the lessons from these games – good and bad - and hopefully adapt them into our day to day lives. Nothing can do that like sport.”#rodblack #mediapersonality #playbyplayannouncer #chrispomay #livewithcdp #barrycullenchevrolet #cebl #scarboroughshootingstarshttps://beacons.ai/chrisdpomayhttps://www.cameo.com/chrispomayhttps://www.barrycullen.com/Want to create live streams like this?

I take you through a thought-provoking discussion on the principles of innocent until proven guilty, especially in light of the Luigi murder case. Whether you're in the legal profession or simply interested in the justice system, there are key takeaways from this episode worth reflecting on.Here are three pivotal insights:Balancing Reality with Legal Principles: I emphasize the necessity of upholding the presumption of innocence in legal practice while acknowledging the real-world instincts about a case. This dual mindset ensures that justice is not only served but perceived with fairness.The Role of Criminal Defense Lawyers: Representing seemingly guilty clients is not about agreeing with their actions but ensuring that the law is applied impartially and justly. As I note, this responsibility is crucial for maintaining a just society for all individuals.Historical and Cultural Context of Justice: I refer to historical precedents like the dialogue from A Man for All Seasons, illustrating the timeless importance of preserving legal rights, even for those we might naturally oppose.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

E109 The Fifth CourtA most amusing encounter.Hosts Peter Leonard and Mark Tottenham talk to retired judge Bernard Barton, a fabulous raconteur, about his life and times, including his career as a used car salesman!Bernard Barton is a retired Irish judge who served on the High Court from 2014 until his retirement in March 2021. During his tenure, he was known for his opposition to certain judicial reforms, notably the controversial guidelines proposed by the Judicial Council's Personal Injuries Guidelines Committee. These guidelines aimed to standardise awards in personal injury cases, a move Barton and several of his colleagues resisted. He remains actively engaged in legal discourse, particularly concerning defamation law. He has been a vocal critic of government proposals to abolish juries in High Court defamation cases, arguing that such a move would undermine the role of juries in the judicial process. Beyond this he has expressed concerns about the composition of the High Court bench, suggesting it does not adequately represent a fair cross-section of society. He has also advocated for the utilisation of retired judges to alleviate pressures within the court system, proposing that experienced former judges could be called upon to assist as needed. He recommends a number of movies, including Laurence of Arabia, Gandhi and A Man for All Seasons.His choice of book is 'A sparrow's flight : the memoirs of Lord Hailsham of St. Marylebone' Hosted on Acast.

Preach the Word: A Ministry for All Seasons; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; Bennie Tomberlin. Scripture read by Jay Stanley.

It's been a minute since our last episode, and as we step into a new year, it's clear that for many of us, things haven't quite gone as planned. In particular, I'm referring to friends and family in Los Angeles, who are grappling with the aftermath and the ongoing devastating fires, and to those facing social, environmental, and political challenges. I've recently returned from attending the 11th Annual Podfest Expo in Orlando, FL, and as a first time attendee, I am reinvigorated and more committed than ever to bringing you authentic, inspiring, and hope-filled stories. A heartfelt thank you to Chris Krimitsos, the visionary and founder behind Podfest, for creating an event built on education, collaboration, and community. It's a place where, as he says, "Your Voice Matters," reminding us all to use our words and energy wisely. It's no small coincidence then, that my first guest of 2025, has built her business and personal mission on teaching both children and adults, the fundamentals of kindness and collaboration.   Attributes that appear to be in short supply these days and yet as my experience at Podfest just proved, these qualities can exist given the right leadership, nurturing and creativity. And speaking of nurturing and creativity, my guest Sandra Beckwith, is all of the embodiment of these qualities and so much more. She's the author of numerous e-books, 10 and counting, and is a passionate advocate for civility, with her ‘Master Keys for Kids,' a collection aiming to instill kindness, respect, gratitude, and compassion in our youth. These fundamental values, though seemingly very scarce today, are essential for nurturing a more respectful and empathetic society. Its companion series of character tales,  ‘A Manner for All Seasons' is the second release of what's soon to be a trilogy of living into your life purpose, and serves as a tool for families, classrooms and faith communities. Sandra's program, ‘Return to Civility,' uses theatre skills to teach empathy and emotional intelligence, encouraging kids to engage in meaningful interactions. Beyond her work with children, Sandra is the creator of ‘Your Life as a Masterpiece,' a process aimed at helping individuals discern their life purpose and set personal goals. Soon to be available in e-book form, this course invites us to reflect on the art of living intentionally. I had the great opportunity to be one of Sandra's first students years ago when we were both living in Los Angeles. Join us as we explore Sandra's insights and learn how we can all contribute to a kinder, more respectful world. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or simply someone who cares about the next generation, I trust there's something valuable you can take away from this conversation. Contact Sandra Beckwith via the following: Business email:  sandra@masterkeysforkids.com   Website:  www.MasterKeysforKids.com   YouTube: @AMomentforManners: releasing the first season, all episodes 3 minutes or under. Watch with the kids you love.  Watch the show, practice the skill!   Great for weekend activities Wonderful experience:  Master Keys is meant to offer a wide array of almost 50 topics that address civility, manners and building character for families and classrooms.  The program helps guide conversations, teach critical thinking, build empathy, and focus on kid's emotional development.  I use humor, stories that teach, and a unique series host, Madama and her pet, Peeves, to talk about how treating others with kindness and respect make a much better quality of life for all concerned.   Master Keys offers two ebook series: SET I   Master Keys for Kids themed ebooks where you can use the actual guides in a classroom setting or to guide conversations over chores, car rides, or table talk.

Abby highlights how the changing seasons influence our emotional connection to movies, how certain films reflect the rhythms of life in profound and unexpected ways and how Christians can engage thoughtfully with film. Abby Olcese is a writer on film, popular culture, and faith. Her work has appeared at Think Christian, Sojourners, Paste, RogerEbert.com, and /Film. She is also the film editor for The Pitch, a website and magazine serving the greater Kansas City, Missouri, area. She lives in Kansas City. https://www.ryleyheppner.com https://www.instagram.com/ryleyheppner/ For all collaboration requests (speaking, advertising, etc.) go to: https://www.ryleyheppner.com/collaboration

Sunday Sermon | November 24, 2024: Thanks in All Seasons by Harrisburg BIC Church

In the mid-1980s, when Nava Atlas released her first cookbook, Vegetariana, there were only about a dozen vegetarian cookbook authors in mainstream publishing. At the time, vegetarianism was considered unconventional, and veganism was virtually unknown to the general public. Nava was one of the pioneers pushing plant-based cuisine forward when it was still a niche, almost radical, lifestyle choice. Today, with the plant-based movement firmly in the mainstream, Nava's influence has grown alongside it. Veganism is now ubiquitous in bestselling cookbooks, food blogs, social media, and stores. A Personal Journey from Vegetarianism to Veganism Nava's personal journey from vegetarianism to veganism reflects this cultural shift. She initially turned away from meat in her teens, driven by instinct rather than access to much information about animal welfare. As she became more aware of the ethical and environmental consequences of animal agriculture, she and her family transitioned to a fully vegan lifestyle. A visit to a dairy farm, where she learned about the realities of dairy production, was a key turning point, reinforcing her decision to align her lifestyle with her values. Her family embraced the change, and her two children remain committed vegans today. Blending Art and Cuisine As a lifelong artist, Nava combines her creativity with cooking. Her early cookbooks were a blend of hand-drawn illustrations and food lore, creating a unique artistic approach to plant-based cuisine. Over the years, her cookbooks have evolved into visually stunning collections, with professional photography showcasing the beauty of plant-based dishes. Titles like Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons highlight Nava's ability to make plant-based eating approachable, with simple, delicious recipes that emphasize ease and flavor. The Role of Family in Embracing Compassionate Living Family has played a significant role in Nava's plant-based journey. From raising her children as vegetarians to fully embracing veganism as a family, she has always prioritized compassion and ethics in her lifestyle. Her children, who have never eaten meat, are now adults and remain dedicated vegans, reflecting the deep impact of her teachings. Full post at www.HealthScience.org/107-Nava-Atlas
