Boomer, Pinder and Rhett dive back into the Calgary Flames' draft plans as Viggo Bjork continues to be linked to the organization ahead of the NHL Draft. As draft day gets closer, Bjork's name seems to be popping up more and more in conversations surrounding Calgary's sixth overall pick, leading the guys to wonder if there might be something there. They discuss why the Flames could be interested, how Bjork stacks up against the other top prospects available, and whether concerns about his size are causing some teams to overthink a player with elite skill and upside. The conversation also explores what Calgary should prioritize with such an important pick and whether Bjork could ultimately be the best player available when the Flames are on the clock. Is there real smoke here, or are we reading too much into the rumours? Let us know if you'd take Viggo Bjork at sixth overall in the comments.Video Link: https://youtu.be/rq16Gk3lh-E#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #calgaryflames CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

Csepelről Kanadába: Szabó László, a Calgary Magyar Ház elnöke 1.rész ep. 319   Ebben az adásban Szabó Lászlóval beszélgetünk, a Calgary Magyar Ház, pontosabban a Calgary Magyar Kultúra Egyesület elnökével. A beszélgetés sajnos időhiány miatt rövidebbre sikerült, mint szerettük volna, de így is egy nagyon érdekes életútba kaptunk betekintést.   László Csepelről indult, majd 1981-ben, 18 évesen, a feleségével együtt Kanadába került. Eredetileg nem Calgaryt választották, egyszerűen oda szólt a repülőjegy. Így kezdődött egy kanadai magyar történet, amelyben benne van a disszidálás, az újrakezdés, a nyelvtanulás, a szakmai újratervezés és a közösségépítés is.     Beszélünk arról, milyen volt Magyarországról elindulni a 80-as években, hogyan fogadták őket Kanadában, miért lett Calgary végül jó választás, és hogyan működött akkoriban a bevándorlók támogatása. László mesél arról is, hogy villanyszerelő szakmával érkezett, de a kanadai papírok, vizsgák és nyelvi akadályok miatt végül más utakon kellett boldogulnia.     Szóba kerül a kanadai mentalitás is: a bizalom, az udvariasság, a mindennapi kedvesség, és az a különbség, amit egy magyar ember nagyon hamar megérez Észak-Amerikában. László szerint Kanadában sokszor előbb megbíznak benned, és csak akkor változik ez, ha rászolgálsz az ellenkezőjére. Ez éles kontraszt ahhoz képest, amit sokan Magyarországon megszoktak.     A beszélgetés egyik különleges része, amikor kiderül, hogy Lászlóék éveket éltek újra Magyarországon, és egy rajzfilmstúdiót is vezettek, amely családi kötődéssel kapcsolódott a magyar animáció világához. Innen vezetett az út vissza Kanadába, majd a handyman, vagy magyarul ezermester élet felé.     László ma egyszemélyes vállalkozásban dolgozik handymanként Calgaryban. A villanyszerelő háttér szerinte nemcsak a szakmai tudás miatt fontos, hanem azért is, mert megtanította problémát megoldani. Nem csak kicserélni valamit, hanem megérteni, miért nem működik. Ez a gondolkodás nagyon sokat számít egy olyan szakmában, ahol minden nap más problémát kell megoldani.     A végén természetesen szóba kerül a Calgary Magyar Ház is. László nagyjából 9-10 éve tölti be az elnöki szerepet, és őszintén beszél arról, hogy a magyar közösségek egyik legnagyobb kihívása az utánpótlás. A fiatalokat nehéz bevonni, kevés az önkéntes, és sokszor ugyanazokra az emberekre hárul minden feladat.     Ez most inkább egy első találkozás volt, mint teljes életútinterjú. Egy rövidebb, de nagyon tartalmas beszélgetés arról, hogyan lesz egy csepeli fiatalból kanadai magyar közösségi vezető, vállalkozó, fotós és olyan ember, akinek a történetét mindenképpen folytatni kell.   Ha érdekelnek a külföldön élő magyarok történetei, a kanadai magyar közösség, Calgary, a Magyar Házak világa, a bevándorlás, az újrakezdés és az észak-amerikai magyar élet, akkor ez az adás neked szól.   Iratkozz fel a MÓKA Podcast csatornára, és írd meg kommentben: te melyik város magyar közösségéről hallanál szívesen legközelebb?   #MOKAPodcast #SzabóLászló #CalgaryMagyarHáz #KanadaiMagyarok #MagyarokKanadában #Diaszpóra #MagyarPodcast #Calgary #HungarianCanadian #MagyarKözösség #KülföldiMagyarok #Handyman #MagyarHáz #Kanada #TorontoMagyarFesztivál Website: www.mayersharvest.com (http://www.mayersharvest.com/) Kuponkód: MOKA 20% kedvezményért Amazon Store: https://rb.gy/j1eiuy   Iratkozz fel a csatornára további magyar New York-i interjúkért és podcast epizódokért.   https://bit.ly/MOKAPodcatsSign  Kövess minket Facebookon: @mokapodcast Instagramon: @mokapodcastusa Web: mokapodcast.com Spotify  (https://bit.ly/mokapodcast) Apple Podcast  (https://bit.ly/moka2021) [Google Podcast](https://bit.ly/MokaGoogle) [Deezer](https://bit.ly/MokaDeezer) [LibSyn](https://bit.ly/MokaLibsyn) [Facebook](https://bit.ly/MokaFB)   Chapters   00:00 Bevezető, Kanada és az első benyomások 00:40 Szabó László és a Calgary Magyar Ház 01:44 Csepelről Kanadába, indulás 1981-ben 03:30 Miért pont Kanada és Calgary? 05:22 Villanyszerelő szakma, vizsgák és újrakezdés 11:16 Munka, nyelvtanulás és beilleszkedés Kanadában 16:12 Magyarországi évek, rajzfilmstúdió és visszatérés Kanadába 21:02 Handyman élet és a Calgary Magyar Ház kihívásai

The biggest victory for a professional wrestling vampire mad scientist with no actual professional affiliation with a major sporting franchise or actual participation in said franchise's events took place this past weekend... and it somehow makes sense! How the unlikely pairing of Danhausen and the New York Knicks' 2026 playoff journey became a perfect storm and made the relatively new WWE star the talk of the sports world.  This could very well be wrestling's greatest mainstream crossover success (while the wrestler is still just a wrestler!) Also this week, an update on the Rhea Ripley injury situation, as details remain scarce about "Mami's" status going into WWE SummerSlam. Could AEW be facing a situation with a Japanese star that is all too familiar to them? Plus, YOUR feedback on the greatest mid-carders, and a preview of this coming Friday's Dungeon Wrestling event in Calgary, Alberta and more!

On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Faisal Karmali discuss why a strong retirement plan needs the right portfolio structure behind it. Then, automotive journalist Matthew Guy joins the show to talk about RV travel, summer road trips, and what retirees should consider before hitting the open road. Next, Dr. Alex Bierman, Professor of Sociology at the University of Calgary, discusses loneliness among older Alberta adults and why social connection should be part of the retirement conversation.

Calgary, Alberta lawyer Gordon Vanderleek is the Founder and Chief Strategist of VanderLeek Law (and Evelyn's wills and trusts guru!). His practice focuses on solving problems and educating in the areas of estate planning, estate administration and trust law. Gordon takes pride in being compassionate and empathetic, had making a difference in people's lives during high stress times of their lives.Ackah Law recently expanded our legal services to provide wills and estate planning for newcomers to Canada. From our experience, we see that many temporary and permanent immigrants don't understand that if they are living in Canada and unexpectedly die, if they don't have a will, the laws in the province or territory you live in will determine how your estate is divided - not necessarily the laws of their home country.Evelyn and Gordon discuss:Why estate planning is hard for many people - talking about what will happen to their assets - their things - after they are gone, and how to protect their loved ones; and why Gordion decided to practice this area of law.Why wills and estate planning is important to everyone, including immigrants.Life events and milestones that should trigger estate planning, beginning at age 18.How Canada and Alberta laws impact newcomers, and what happens when a person's wishes don't match their legal documents. How to make sure your wishes are carried out.The importance of establishing guardianship for your minor children.How Personal Directives and Power of Attorney plan for incapacitation or disabilities, which have become a more visible issue since Covid.Special trusteeships and adult guardianships that are available for adults with special needs, and how the Britney Spears conservatorship made people aware of the need to do advance planning.Are DIY wills and holographs enforceable?Estate planning for children with special needs: how to gift money and protect their financial future.

This week, our guest is the Honourable Brian Jean, Alberta's Minister of Energy and Minerals. The conversation was recorded at an ARC Financial event in Calgary on June 9. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has underscored the importance of energy security and supply diversity. This, along with more supportive federal policies, is raising expectations for growth in Alberta's oil and gas sector. On the podcast this week, Jackie asks Minister Jean about Alberta's opportunity to expand oil and gas production, including: Is the Strait of Hormuz closure and the Iran war reshaping how people view Canadian energy? What is Alberta's goal for oil production growth, and what changes, regulatory and otherwise, are supporting that goal? How does Alberta benefit from the build-out of LNG export capacity on the West Coast? The Canada–Alberta MOU outlines a plan to submit a 1 MMB/d oil pipeline to reach Asian markets to the Major Projects Office, with the aim of starting the regulatory review by early July. What is its status, and does the decision on the large oil sands CCS project affect the path forward? Are discussions underway with BC on the pipeline and with local communities, including Indigenous groups? And what are Alberta's opportunities in mineral production and, potentially, processing? Content referenced in this podcast: Canada Government, Overview of Canada's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All (June 4, 2026) Global Energy Show (June 9 to 11, 2026) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/Check us out on social media:X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research InstituteSubscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

He served in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the McCombs School of Business for over 37 years, teaching courses in Portuguese and Spanish language and linguistics. His research and publications focused on the cultural aspects of cross-cultural communication and the creative use of technology in language learning. Orlando was born in Calgary, Alberta, raised in Taylorsville, Utah, and educated at Brigham Young University and the University of California at Berkeley. He served in the São Paulo Norte Brazil mission, and his three favorite hobbies are studying foreign languages, acoustic guitar, and astrophotography and nature photography. Orlando recently published the book It's a Patriarchal Blessing!. Links It’s a Patriarchal Blessing Email Before a Patriarchal Blessing (Microsoft Word format) Email Before a Patriarchal Blessing (PDF format) Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Highlights Orlando discusses his experiences as a patriarch and the significance of patriarchal blessings. He emphasizes the importance of viewing these blessings as affirmations of identity and divine potential rather than as mere checklists or warnings. 00:02:28 – Orlando’s Calling as a Patriarch 00:03:52 – Challenges of Starting as a Patriarch 00:04:48 – Training and Preparation for Patriarchs 00:05:41 – The Pressure of Giving a Blessing 00:06:29 – Communicating First-Time Blessings 00:07:06 – Orlando’s Role as the Only Patriarch 00:07:55 – Impact on Gospel Study and Preparation 00:08:34 – Revelation and Inspiration in Preparation 00:09:40 – The Importance of Compassion 00:10:37 – Note-Taking for Blessings 00:12:00 – Reviewing and Editing Blessings 00:13:27 – The Nature of Patriarchal Blessings 00:14:35 – Preparing Candidates for Blessings 00:17:30 – Helping Candidates Feel Comfortable 00:19:06 – The Role of Patriarchs in the Church 00:20:10 – The Blessing Aspect of Patriarchal Blessings 00:21:09 – Avoiding a Checklist Mentality 00:22:32 – The Role of Personal Agency 00:23:36 – Orlando’s List of Recommended Talks 00:24:45 – Reducing Anxiety for Candidates 00:26:07 – The Experience of Giving Blessings 00:27:30 – The Importance of Seeing Potential 00:28:59 – Understanding Lineage in Blessings 00:30:33 – The Significance of Covenant and Gathering 00:31:47 – Contributions of Different Tribes 00:33:44 – The Role of Personal Revelation 00:35:58 – Flexibility in Interpreting Blessings 00:37:09 – The Lifelong Relevance of Blessings Key Insights The Nature of Patriarchal Blessings: These blessings should be viewed fundamentally as a positive source of love and divine identity. Orlando emphasizes that they are not patriarchal warnings, admonitions, or “chewing outs,” but rather tools to help individuals understand their divine worth. Preparation as a Patriarch: The process involves intense, ongoing spiritual preparation. Orlando explains that he often feels like a “faucet that cannot be turned off” in the days leading up to a blessing, as he studies scriptures and topics prompted by the Holy Ghost to prepare his mind to receive impressions. Mortal Delivery of Revelation: Patriarchs receive inspiration, but they must articulate it using their own mortal capacity, vocabulary, and understanding. Consequently, a patriarchal blessing is a collaboration between the Spirit and the patriarch’s mortal expression. The Fallacy of the “Checklist”: Recipients should avoid viewing their blessings as a list of required events (e.g., marriage, missions, children) to be checked off. Instead, they should see the blessing as a resource to be applied to all of life’s decisions, challenges, and experiences. Understanding Lineage: The declaration of lineage is not a DNA test but an invitation to participate in the Abrahamic covenant and the gathering of Israel. Each tribe's unique description provides a different “skill set” for how an individual can contribute to the Lord’s work. Leadership Applications Alleviate Anxiety: Leaders can help reduce the nervousness people feel about visiting a patriarch by fostering opportunities for the patriarch to interact with ward members (e.g., firesides, sacrament meetings, or activities) beforehand, making him a familiar figure rather than a stranger. Foster a Broad Interpretation: Bishops and leaders should encourage members to interpret their patriarchal blessings with flexibility.

Ian Hunter has spent four decades building miniatures, supervising visual effects and thinking like a filmmaker on some of the most demanding productions in Hollywood. In this episode, he traces a career that began in a garden shed with a punched-up piece of German black velvet and ended up — via James Cameron, Tim Burton, the Coen Brothers, and Christopher Nolan — on some of the most iconic screens in the world.Ian grew up surrounded by art. His father painted oils and acrylics, played music and did pastel portraits, and encouraged his three sons to make things — even when those things destroyed the materials he'd given them. The moment that really clicked, Ian recalls, was being handed a model kit as a kid and taking to it immediately. That creative instinct only grew stronger. In high school, he and his brothers were making Super 8 films, scratching laser effects onto the film with a pin and blowing up overloaded resistors for explosions. One of those films required them to fake-rob a local bank — and the encounter that followed, with the surprisingly enthusiastic vice president of the Monrovia Wells Fargo, led to a meeting with the mother of Rick Baker, whose work Ian had recently encountered in a traveling special effects exhibition and been completely floored by.After drifting away from an aerospace course at Cal Poly Pomona and working in an acid bath plastics factory, Ian answered a classified ad looking for model makers — and on the strength of a modest portfolio, was hired the same day. His first feature was The Abyss. He and fellow model maker Jim McGee built the flooded engine room of the Montana submarine with almost no direction beyond James Cameron's bare-bones description, and shipped it to South Carolina having never seen a frame of the live action. The production was not without its disasters — Ian found himself entangled in the notorious wax crane fiasco, and talks about the valuable early lesson of knowing when to call something out before it goes wrong.From there, a friend pointed him toward Boss Film, Richard Edlund's company in Marina del Rey, where a chance encounter with departing model supervisor Mark Stetson changed everything. What was supposed to be a one-week favour on a music video turned into six years. Working with Stetson took Ian from being a junior model maker building things in isolation to visiting sets, talking directly with directors, and understanding that miniature work only succeeds when it becomes invisible — just more shots in a movie, telling the story rather than showing off the technique.Among the projects from that period, Ian talks at length about Total Recall — including the behind-the-scenes chaos of a scale miscommunication on the final day of shooting, a scene involving a little person that nobody had accounted for, and the moment he glued a Coke can to a model building because they were running out of time. That Coke can, dressed up and shot from the front, made it into the finished film. So did one in Waterworld. And Inception. And Interstellar. And, after the story apparently got around, director Fede Álvarez greeted Ian on Alien: Romulus by asking exactly where he was planning to hide it.Ian built the suburb for Edward Scissorhands — deliberately making it more bland and mundane than real life — and talks about one of his proudest in-camera shots: the final view through the bedroom window and out over the snow-dusted neighbourhood, achieved with a 1:24 scale model and real snow shakers on the night. On Batman Returns he built the Penguin's zoo, and describes receiving one of his all-time favourite compliments from Tim Burton — who, after watching a pyrotechnics test, asked simply: "Where did you shoot this?" Not realising he was looking at a miniature. The zoo also gave Ian one of his best examples of a happy accident: a polar bear sculpture that was supposed to explode but instead toppled slowly sideways with flames coming out of its feet. Tim Burton loved it. The entire subsequent engineering challenge was figuring out how to recreate the mistake.On the X-Files movie, Ian and his partner Matthew Gratzner built a collapsing federal building on a tight budget, referencing Oklahoma City bombing photographs for the detail of damaged concrete and exposed floors. The late Roger Ebert reviewed the finished film and said the sequence should have been cut — because it was too reminiscent of real tragedy. Ian reflects on that as a marker: they'd gotten past the technique and into the emotion.The conversation turns to Christopher Nolan, with whom Ian has worked across multiple films. Ian describes Nolan as collaborative but definitive, someone who discusses a shot in depth and then tells you exactly what he wants. He talks about the liberation Nolan offered on Interstellar when he told the crew to stop following the previs — pre-vis is just a guy at a computer on a Friday trying to get the shot out the door, Nolan told them; if you can see a better angle, do that instead. The result was that the miniature crew started shooting faster, and a number of shots that had been planned as digital moved across to the physical side. Ian also describes the meticulous sun-angle calculation that went into matching the Inception hospital sequence — setting up models in a parking lot at a precisely calculated skewed angle to hit the exact quality of light that had been captured in Calgary on a specific date.On First Man with Damien Chazelle, Ian had drawn storyboards before the first meeting proposing a documentary approach — cameras attached to the spacecraft, nothing sweeping or cinematic, everything either very close or very wide as if shot from another ship. Chazelle walked in and described exactly the same idea. They spent twenty minutes together going through the sequence, working to an animatic cut to music, and Ian went off and shot it. That shorthand — that moment of being in sync before the conversation has really started — is something Ian describes as central to how he has survived in an industry where so many practical effects houses have not. He's a model maker, yes. But more than that, he's a filmmaker.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

In this episode of Adventures in Advising, Ryan heads north for a lively conversation with Canadian advising leaders Aysha Haq, Elizabeth Venton-Parnell, Jing Yao, and Shoshana Kalfon. Together, they explore what makes academic advising in Canada distinct, from provincial policies and immigration changes to holistic student support, institutional pressures, and the magic of those “light bulb” student moments.The panel also digs into the evolving role of the Canada Advising Community, the NACADA restructure, place-based advising, and why connection across institutions matters more than ever. Whether you advise in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, California, or somewhere in the academic wilderness beyond, this episode is a thoughtful, funny, and practical reminder that advising may look different across borders, but the heart of the work travels well.

In Acts 13, the spotlight shifts from Jerusalem to Antioch—a diverse, unexpected community where the Holy Spirit is doing something entirely new. From former outsiders and unlikely leaders to the commissioning of Paul and Barnabas, this chapter reveals a church that chooses mission over comfort, creativity over control, and expansion over preservation.In this message, we explore how God's grace continually pushes the church beyond its assumptions, why the most transformative movements often emerge from the margins, and what it means to trust the Spirit enough to send our best into the unknown.Whether you're navigating change, wrestling with tradition, or discerning what's next, Acts 13 reminds us that the future of God's kingdom has always belonged to communities willing to follow where the Spirit leads. ★ Support this podcast ★

Book of Acts - Acts 5:12-16: What happens when the holiness of God purifies His people? In Acts 5:12–16, the early church experiences an explosion of power, healing and growth after a moment of deep refinement. Signs and wonders break out in the public square, ordinary people encounter the living God and even Peter's shadow becomes associated with healing. This passage pushes us to wrestle honestly with the supernatural, the holiness of God and our expectations for what Jesus still wants to do today. As we begin this next chapter in Acts, we'll discover that God's power was never meant to point to spectacle - but to the saving beauty of the Gospel.Join us in person and online at 9 or 11am - and come expectant.

There's a story about of our past that you know well. It goes like this: At some point earlier in human evolution, we started to hunt. Men in particular—perhaps channeling some deep-seated aggressive impulses—began to seek out big game. This new food source, this bonanza of calories, was what allowed our brains to expand. It changed our bodies and our societies and sent our species off on a whole new track. In short, Man the Hunter made us human. This story—told in different versions, with different points of emphasis—has circulated for decades. It's been debunked and revived, rejected and reimagined. What is the history behind the Man the Hunter idea? How does it square with our current understandings of evolution? Is it, in fact, pure fiction? My guest today is Dr. Vivek Venkataraman. Vivek is an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Calgary, and an editor-in-chief of the journal Hunter Gatherer Research. He and his collaborators recently published an article on the different layers and meanings of the Man the Hunter idea. Here, Vivek and I lay out those meanings. We talk about how the phrase refers, first, to that popular myth about our evolution, but also to a landmark scientific conference in the 1960s, and to a major finding of research on contemporary hunter-gatherer groups—namely, that men generally do do most of the hunting. We do a little crash-course on the field of hunter-gatherer research, including the kinds of questions it asks and frameworks it uses. We dig into some of the key ingredients of the Man the Hunter myth: the idea that we have aggressive tendencies, the idea that only men hunt, and the idea that hunting played a transformative role in our evolution. We walk through three recent, high-profile studies challenging Man the Hunter ideas in various ways. And we talk about the ever-present danger of projecting our current norms and ideals back in time. Along the way, Vivek and I touch on 2001: A Space Odyssey; reasons why contemporary hunter-gatherers may differ from the hunter-gatherers of long ago; giant sloths; extractive foraging; the case of the Agta, a society in which women do engage in big-game hunting; the forest people and the fierce people; risk and cooperation in sexual divisions of labor; persistence hunting and endurance activities; caregiving and cognition; and honey. Alright friends, I think you'll enjoy this one.
