AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category. No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades. The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pum

This is a good one! We listen to the demix/remix, by Chi166, of Led Zeppelin playing Vancouver, BC, on March 20, 1975. The sound is incredible. Almost professional sounding. The performance is great with high energy and playfulness. I play a very creative and driven Over The Hills followed by a No Quarter that is nothing short of perfect. I hope you enjoy and much as I.
Canada's WestJet and the union representing its flight attendants have reached a tentative deal. In British Columbia, 130 wildfires are burning across the province. Just south of B-C, a state of emergency has been declared across Washington state due to wildfires. Central and southern Europe are in the midst of another day of extreme heat and in Greece, that's led to the rapid spread of wildfires.

Two years disappears fast until you try to hit record again. We're back at Kona Skatepark in Jacksonville with BC in the background and a lot to catch up on: why the show went quiet, what it felt like to come back, and how we're rebuilding this thing with better gear, clearer intentions, and way more consistency.We talk through the real behind-the-scenes of a podcast relaunch, from video plans that kept breaking to the budget reality of doing it yourself. You'll hear our thinking on posting the core skateboarding conversations publicly on YouTube, then possibly putting the longer, goofier, more unfiltered cuts behind a small Patreon paywall so the show can fund itself without turning into a clout chase.From there it turns into what we love most: skateboarding community life. The Kona concrete vert ramp restoration is a huge win, and we shout out the people who put in the work to make it smooth, fast, and scary in the best way. We also get into the stuff that keeps a skatepark healthy long-term: basic respect at events, why we don't want smoking around kids and families, and how leadership matters when the crowd gets excited. Along the way we hit contest culture, sponsor drama, sobriety and role models, aging and acceptance, and BC's view of skateboarding as a tree with endless branches.If you're into skate culture, DIY spots, vert ramp talk, and honest conversations that still make you laugh, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a comeback story, and leave a review with the one part you want us to go deeper on next.

In 63 BC, Rome faced a conspiracy that threatened to tear the Roman Republic apart. At its centre stood two figures: Marcus Tullius Cicero, the grand old orator of Rome and Lucius Sergius Catilina, accused of plotting violence, rebellion and the overthrow of Rome's political order. But was the danger as great as Cicero claimed?In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Catharine Edwards to uncover the truth behind the Catiline Conspiracy. Did Cicero save the Roman Republic in his finest hour, or did he exaggerate the threat to destroy a political rival? Join us to discover the story behind one of ancient Rome's most notorious political crises.MORE:CiceroListen on AppleListen on Spotify Battle of Mutina: Cicero's Fight for the Roman RepublicListen on AppleListen on SpotifyThe Ancients is now on YouTube!

I've been here the whole time.Text 2M:Linda, have a taste of this cake and tell me what you think.W:OK. Hmm… I'm afraid it has gone bad.

Barney Shynkaruk was in Saskatoon for the Friday Edition of The SportsCage! We prepped for the Riders & Elks rematch, talked BC's blowout win over Winnipeg, our first round of "TacoTime Hot Takes", and more with Roughrider Football Analyst Luc Mullinder, Brent Barker talks Junior Hockey, Lotto Lawrence joined the show, TSN Football Insider Farhan Lalji, Edmonton Elks Voice Morley Scott, and the latest edition of Prairie Golf Gems.
Featuring: Mike Levy, Josh Ross, Lisa Charlebois, and Logan Jones-Wilkins Episode Description: We rank the fastest aero road bikes, discuss Lisa's plan to ride 700 miles in a week, and unpack how the giant Salsa Fargo actually handles in the woods of BC. We missed last week because we were all deep in the woods in British Columbia testing, among other things, a 32-inch bike. We actually recorded a podcast while together but you will have to wait for that one. For now, the team is back in our home studios to discuss some of what we found in the forest. We get rolling with news that Charlebois is riding seven centuries next week. That's right, she had a surplus of fitness after a planned event fell through, so… why not? Think you could do seven centuries in seven days? We talk to her about how she plans to motivate for it and we all go around the room to share our much lower highest-mileage weeks. Next we answer listener questions but it's primarily about the big three aero bikes. I've ridden the Factor One, the Cervelo S5, and the Colnago Y1RS, plus we throw the Specialized Tarmac SL9 into the mix. One of you out there wanted to know what I would choose to ride and why given those choices. The team graciously gave me a chance to sit in my happy place and discuss those aero bikes. Not for too long though. Pretty soon we rolled into questioning marketing vs. engineering in terms of bike design. We all have pretty strong feelings about who drives the conversation and why. Which is, of course, a perfect segue into discussing the 32-inch Salsa Fargo that we rode in Squamish. Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Intro & Introductions 00:00:50 - Lisa and 7 centuries 00:13:30 - Riding in British Columbia 00:29:55 - Listener questions and aero bikes 00:41:20 - More listener questions and marketing vs. engineering 01:00:00 - Riding the Salsa Fargo 32

A @Christadelphians Video: # The Good News #2 'In the Empire' - YouTube Summary**[Actual, provable Bible Truth]**: The word "gospel" (euangelion) did not enter a vacuum—it was already a political term used throughout the Roman Empire to announce royal births, military victories, and the ascension of new rulers. Caesar Augustus himself was proclaimed as "son of God," "saviour," and "bringer of peace" decades before Christ's birth. This historical reality makes the New Testament's claims about Jesus profoundly counter-cultural and powerfully subversive.Welcome back to our thought-provoking series on The Good News. In this outstanding expositional presentation, Brother David Fraser reveals the astonishing historical context that makes the Gospel message even more wonderful and revealing than we might have imagined.The Roman world was saturated with another "gospel"—the imperial gospel of Caesar Augustus. When Jesus was born, Caesar was already proclaimed as "son of God," "saviour," and "bringer of peace to the world." The very words we associate with Christ were carved in stone for Caesar!This insightful study explores:- How Caesar Augustus manipulated the Roman Republic into an Empire- The use of "euangelion" (good news) for Caesar's achievements- The imperial cult that demanded allegiance to Caesar as Lord- The counterfeit gospel that Christians bravely resisted- How God sovereignly manipulated Rome's decrees to fulfil prophecyThe contrast is truly wonderful: Caesar grasped at greatness through oppression and violence, while Christ emptied Himself through obedience and was exalted by God. One gospel demanded a pinch of incense; the other demands our whole hearts.

It's unusal for any major media franchise from outside of this country to frequently and specifically reference Canada, but Mobile Suit Gundam is fairly well known for it. I don't know why Amuro's birthplace was established as Prince Rupert, BC in Gundam Movie 1, why there's a military fortress in Fort Severn, Ontario in Gundam X or why the insidious Earth Federation training academy from Ecole du Ciel was set up in Montreal, but I'm more than happy to interpret it as a compliment. Gundam super fan Yazy returns to the show to discuss.

In this episode, Elton dives into the number zero—the only digit that can both balance your checkbook and give a medieval bishop a panic attack. We explore how "nothing" went from being a terrifying demonic void to the "personal computing" revolution of the 13th century and, eventually, the literal foundation of our universe.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book SellerBECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:Elton Reads A Book A Week PatreonBuy Me A Coffee!SOCIAL MEDIA!

When it comes to the Gordie Howe Bridge, a Conservative MP says Prime Minister Mark Carney has gone too far — and conceded too much to Donald Trump. The manager of a Florida restaurant is forced to suspend some of his Haitian employees, after their work permits aren't extended. He says that's left them, and him, in a troubled state of limbo. A fisherman finds a message in a bottle in a New Jersey wetland — and then finds the woman who wrote it more than 50 years ago, and learns the story behind it. For 28 years, the late Michael Coyle spent his spare time working on a search-and-rescue team in BC; a fellow volunteer says he was exactly who you'd want with you in the mountains. We'll pay tribute to the late Irish musician and actor Glen Hansard — who starred in the movie "The Commitments," and approached his music with a singular commitment. A one-star online review said a Massachusetts whaling museum had the, quote, "worst aquarium ever." Now, the museum has gone viral — for putting that insult on its merchandise. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that has seen lousy aquariums — and tanks, but no thanks.

Welcome back!! What if self-care isn't something you do later - but the foundation your entire life is built on? In this episode of The Awakening Her Podcast, I'm sharing a powerful realization I had after taking an entire day just for myself. A day spent in nature, slowing down, nourishing myself, and reconnecting with what truly makes me feel alive. It reminded me that taking care of ourselves isn't selfish, indulgent, or something we do when everything else is finished. It's essential. When we deeply care for ourselves, we become more patient, creative, resilient, intuitive, and present. We remember who we are. In this episode, we're exploring what it really means to fill your own cup and why your next level begins with the way you care for yourself. Relfection Prompts What truly fills my cup? When do I feel most like myself? What have I been needing that I've been putting off? How can I care for myself more deeply this week? What is one small act of self-care I can choose today? If this episode resonated with you, take a moment to share it with someone who could use this reminder today. And if you're on Vancouver Island, stay tuned for Return To Self—my upcoming evening meditation experiences designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and remember who you are. Thank you for being here. Mentioned in This Episode... Instagram: @taliajoymanifestation In Person Meditation Circles on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada - TBA!

It's Marvel Monday and we're meeting the Eternals! ABOUT ETERNALS The saga of the Eternals, a race of immortal beings who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ETERNALS November 5, 2021 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF ETERNALS Director: Chloé Zhao Writers: Chloé Zhao, Patrick Burleigh, Ryan Firpo Cast: Gemma Chan as Sersi Richard Madden as Ikaris Angelina Jolie as Thena Salma Hayek as Ajak Kit Harington as Dane Whitman Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo Lia McHugh as Sprite Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos Lauren Ridloff as Makkari Barry Keoghan as Druig Ma Dong-seok as Gilgamesh Harish Patel as Karun Bill Skarsgård as Kro Harry Styles as Eros BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS This movie starts off with too many words. But no fun music like Star Wars, so I didn't read it. Cut to a triangle flying close to something that looks like the sun. Inside, these folks in funny robes stand back against a wall when a voice says it is time. This gold stuff turns into their suits. Apparently they don't know each other. It's 5000 BC in Mesopotamia and a crazy sea monster eats this kid's dad. Suddenly, this superhero flies in and takes that monster down. We see the other heroes take down other monsters. We got a group of 10 superheroes on our hands. They stand in V formation and wait for the people to thank them. One of the heroes leans down and hands a kid a knife. Here's who we have: Ikaris: basically Superman Sersi: can like mess with matter Thena: creates a weapon out of pure cosmic energy Kingo: laser fingers Phastos: creates advanced weapons and technology Makkari: basically the Flash Druig: mind control Gilgamesh: Hulk but not green Sprite: can change the appearance of things and appears as a child Ajak: the spiritual leader and healer who serves as the primary communicator with their Celestial creator Cut to present day and that knife is in a museum as an artifact that shaped history. The Eternals are still alive, cuz they're eternal. Sersi and Sprite live together in London. Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier. She's moved on and is now in a relationship with human Dane. When the trio is attacked by a monster like in the beginning. They're called Deviants. Ikaris arrives just in time to save the day. The Eternals were under the assumption there were no more Deviants. Which is why the Eternals haven't been in action for the past 500 years. We see a flashback of when Sersi and Ikaris got together…and I mean got together. #NotMyMarvel. They end up getting married. Back in the present, the 3 Eternals make it to South Dakota expecting to meet up with Ajak, only to find her dead. So it's time to get the band back together to figure out what to do next. Sersi is the new leader and meets with Arishem - the Celestial that sent the Eternals to Earth. Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the Emergence of a new Celestial. See, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the apex predators of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but the Deviants evolved and started eating said intelligent life.

John Batchelor introduces Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium, to discuss the transition from the death of Julius Caesar to the rise of Augustus. Strauss identifies Plutarch and Cassius Dio as the primary historical sources, noting they had access to earlier, now-lost records. The discussion focuses on three main figures: Mark Antony, Octavian, and Cleopatra. At Caesar's death, Mark Antony was a consul and Caesar's lieutenant, hailing from the high Roman nobility. In contrast, Octavian (later Augustus) came from an equestrian family but gained status as Caesar's great-nephew and adopted heir. While Antony was a seasoned warrior, Octavian focused on political acumen. The Second Triumvirate, consisting of Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus, was formed to punish Caesar's assassins, leading to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC, where Antony emerged as the hero while Octavian struggled.

Barry Strauss introduces Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt and member of the Ptolemaic dynasty founded by one of Alexander the Great's generals. Strauss describes Alexandria as the Mediterranean's greatest metropolis and a wealthy cultural hub. Cleopatra is depicted as a "tough player" who survived deadly family intrigues to rule Egypt. When she meets Antony in 41 BC at Tarsus, she dazzles him with a spectacular, perfumed arrival on a barge. Antony views Cleopatra not just as a lover, but as a vital financial resource for his Eastern ambitions. A key point of contention is Caesarion, Cleopatra's son, whom many believed was the child of Julius Caesar. Octavian's later propaganda painted the East as "effeminate" compared to Roman manliness. To demonstrate her immense wealth, Cleopatra famously dissolved a priceless pearl in vinegar during an extravagant dinner. (2)
Barry Strauss traces the fracturing of the Second Triumvirate as Octavian utilizes his sister, Octavia, who marries Antony to seal a peace treaty in 40 BC. While depicted as a devoted housewife, Strauss suggests she remained loyal to Octavian, potentially providing intelligence. In Rome, Octavian builds power by marrying into the high nobility and cultivating talent, specifically his "secret weapon," Marcus Agrippa. Agrippa, a brilliant military strategist, builds a new navy to defeat Sextus Pompey, a naval threat based in Sicily. Meanwhile, Antony's reputation suffers after a failed campaign against the Parthian Empire, resulting in the loss of 25% of his army. By 33 BC, the triumvirate expires, and Octavian launches an information war. He portrays Antony as an "unmanned" traitor enslaved by Cleopatra, mocking his adoption of Eastern luxuries like mosquito nets. (3)
Barry Strauss examines Mark Antony's critical "unforced error" of 33 BC: divorcing Octavia, Octavian's sister. This move provides Octavian with a massive propaganda victory, allowing him to frame Antony as having betrayed Rome for an Egyptian queen. Strauss explains the divorce was a "credible commitment" by Antony to show his Eastern supporters he was fully committed to the coming conflict. Despite advice from his experienced admiral, Ahenobarbus, to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony refuses because she controls the treasury and the Egyptian navy. While Antony may have preferred a campaign against Parthia, Octavian forces his hand by declaring war. Antony's decision to bring Cleopatra into the war effort is anathema to Romans, who view her as a foreign invader. This sets the stage for confrontation, with Octavian relying on the tactical genius of Marcus Agrippa. (4)
Barry Strauss narrates the naval Battle of Actium, which begins on September 2, 31 BC. Antony and Cleopatracommand approximately 230 ships against Octavian and Agrippa's fleet of nearly 400. Facing starvation due to Agrippa's blockade, Antony and Cleopatra decide on a breakout battle to escape by sea with their treasury. During the battle, Cleopatra's flagship, flying a purple sail, breaks through a gap in the Roman line. Antony follows her in a smaller ship, abandoning his fleet and army in a move that Strauss describes as a devastating blow to his Roman honor. Despite their leaders' flight, Antony's men continue to fight until Octavian uses fire arrows to destroy their remaining ships. The lovers escape south toward Alexandria, but Antony is left in a state of deep melancholy after deserting his troops. (6)
Barry Strauss follows Octavian's advance on Egypt after Actium, securing the loyalty of Eastern kings. Cleopatraattempts to build a new fleet in the Red Sea to escape to India, but her plans are thwarted. In Alexandria, a complex negotiation unfolds as Antony and Cleopatra separately communicate with Octavian, often lying to each other. Antony, increasingly desperate, challenges Octavian to single combat, which is ignored. On August 1, 30 BC, after his troops defect, Antony commits suicide upon hearing a false report of Cleopatra's death. Days later, Cleopatra also commits suicide to avoid being paraded in Octavian's triumph, potentially using a cobra. Octavian immediately secures his power by killing Caesarion, Caesar's young heir, asserting himself as the "one and only son" of Julius Caesar. (7)
Merneptah started his reign aggressively, striking a belligerent tone in his royal names and launching an expedition to Canaan in the first few years. In the process, his troops captured Ashkelon, Gezer, and Yenoam, and dealt with a tribe called "Israel." Simultaneously, Merneptah achieved a great diplomatic coup when we brought Ugarit back into the Egyptian sphere. Music by Keith Zizza & Luke Chaos.
