Jury Discharged. The turn of events in the sexual assault case of five former Canada Hockey juniors. It will continue as a judge alone trial, after its jury is dismissed for the second time.And: Canada post recommendations released. If accepted they could mean an end to door-to-door postal service. All this as workers gear up for another possible strike. Also: Something to sing about. Contestants get set to belt their hearts out in the Eurovision final, as Canadians wonder whether, if, or when, our country could join the competition.Plus: How gene editing helped a desperately ill infant with a Canadian connection, the new plan to bring coal mining to the Canadian Rockies, missing kids in rural Nova Scotia, Israel intensifies attacks in Gaza and more.

Sometimes the best opportunities don't look like opportunity—they look like risk. Like driving hours into the mountains. Like renting a stranger's massage room and hoping someone shows up. But there's a strange kind of capacity that comes from following a hunch—especially the kind that seems to go against the grain.In this conversation with Irina Cividino, we explore her unconventional path as a peripatetic acupuncturist serving remote towns in the Canadian Rockies. What started as a weekend experiment became a thriving circuit of clinics in communities with little to no access to acupuncture. Irina brings both practical wisdom and a spirit of quiet boldness to the work.Listen into this discussion as we explore building a low-overhead mobile practice, using local Facebook groups for patient outreach, how geography shapes clinical presentations, and the surprising clarity that comes from being in motion.This is a story about acupuncture. But more than that, it's about trusting your instincts, listening to your patients, and crafting a life that follows your values with courage and curiosity.

We know very little about his life, but the story of Anthony Henday is an important one. The first known European to sight the Canadian Rockies, his mission to the interior was not successful for trade but monumental for exploration. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!

Canada has experienced a disruptive start to 2025, with PM Justin Trudeau stepping down as Liberal leader, prompting a leadership campaign and a prorogued parliament . With a federal election looming, Canadians, among other problems, are facing affordability issues and to top it off, US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 25-percent tariffs on a wide range of imports from Canada and 10-percent tariffs on oil and gas. Those US tariffs were set to begin Feb 4, but have been delayed by at least 30 days as the countries work together on border security and trade imbalance. However, for many Canadians, the potential for a trade war between two longtime allies continues to fuel anger, despair and confusion over what may be coming next. The speaker will try to make sense of it all, while analyzing the response from governments and political leaders including Liberal leadership contenders. Speaker: Shannon Phillips Shannon brings over two decades of experience in public policy, governance, and leadership in energy and the environment to her role as a partner at Meredith Boessenkool & Phillips. Her experience includes serving as the Minister of Environment and Parks and Minister Responsible for the Climate Change Office in Rachel Notley's government, where she was responsible for climate policy, conservation expansion, and Indigenous reconciliation efforts. She also established Alberta's first standalone Ministry for the Status of Women. From 2015-19, Shannon was the driving force behind Alberta's Climate Leadership Plan. Phillips led the coal phase-out, renewable energy expansion, and energy efficiency programs that boosted Alberta's GDP and created jobs across the province. Shannon also represented Alberta on the national and international stage, including leading delegations to UN climate conferences in Paris and Marrakech. Phillips won three elections as a progressive woman candidate in Southern Alberta – an accomplishment most would have dismissed as far-fetched just a decade ago. She is an experienced and successful campaigner, organizer and grassroots leader. She continues to focus on mentorship and training of a new generation of activists and candidates. Shannon is a strong communicator in both of Canada's official languages, a skill that serves her well in her extensive policy and advocacy work on the national and international stage. Deeply committed to her community, Shannon continues to strengthen her relationship with the Blackfoot people of southern Alberta and is a Blackfoot Headdress holder and recipient of a Blackfoot name. In addition to her work in the community, Shannon serves as an Adjunct Faculty member in the Department of Political Science at the University of Lethbridge and was recognized as a YWCA Woman of Distinction in 2017. Shannon enjoys spending time with her two sons outdoors, particularly in the Canadian Rockies.

All the colours of the rainbow, plus oneResearchers have fired lasers directly into the eye to stimulate photoreceptors, and produce the perception of a colour that does not exist in nature. They describe it as a “supersaturated teal,” and hope the technique will allow them to better understand colour vision and perhaps lead to treatments for vision problems. Austin Roorda has been developing this technology using mirrors, lasers and optical devices. He is a professor of Optometry and Vision Science at University of California, Berkeley. The study was published in the journal Science Advances.Following in the footsteps of an ancient ankylosaurPaleontologists have found fossil footprints of an armoured dinosaur in the Canadian Rockies that fill in a critical gap in the fossil record. The footprints belonged to a club-tailed ankylosaur about five to six metres long, and are the first evidence of this type of dinosaur living in North America in a period known as the middle Cretaceous. The research was led by Victoria Arbour, curator of paleontology at the Royal B.C. Museum, and published in the journal Vertebrate Paleontology.Did the Neanderthals die from sunburn?Neanderthals disappeared 40,000 years ago, and new research suggests this corresponds to a period of weakness in the Earth's magnetic field that allowed an increase in the solar radiation reaching the surface. Researchers think they have evidence that modern humans were able to protect themselves from the sun better than Neanderthals could, and this might have contributed to the Neanderthal extinction. Raven Garvey is an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. Her team's research was published in the journal Science. Cloudy with a chance of ammonia mushballsNew observations and models of activity within Jupiter's stormy atmosphere is giving a weather report for the giant planet, and it's pretty extreme. Most interestingly, researchers predict conditions that could lead to violent lightning storms producing softball sized frozen ammonia “mushballs” that would rain through the upper atmosphere. The research was led by Chris Moeckel, a planetary scientist and aerospace engineer at the University of California-Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory, and was published in the journal Science Advances.Shattering heat records: climate change is turning out to be worse than expectedIn the last few years, we've seen global temperatures rising faster, with more extreme localized heatwaves, than climate models predicted. Climate scientists are trying to understand this by investigating the underlying factors behind these heating trends. Richard Allan, from the University of Reading in the U.K., was expecting a larger than normal rise in global temperatures due to natural fluctuations, but global temperatures in 2023 and 2024 were much higher than expected. Their recent study in the journal Environmental Research Letters found a growing imbalance in the earth's heat system, with increasingly more heat coming in than leaving, in large part due to changes we've seen in global cloud cover.This global heating is not happening evenly around the world. Kai Kornhuber, from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria and Columbia Climate School in New York, found regional hotspots that are experiencing unexpected extreme heat, likely due to a combination of factors. That study is in the journal PNAS.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast. In this episode, we're welcoming KC Hawrylyshen into the Property Entrepreneur Hall of Fame as one of our most inspiring Advanced Members.   Originally from Canada and now living in the UK, KC's journey is a remarkable story of going from chaos to clarity—professionally, financially, and personally.   Three years ago, KC was managing a chaotic property portfolio, navigating a complex refurbishment gone sideways, and homeschooling her two children. She was balancing motherhood, business pressures, and cross-continental property challenges—all while feeling stuck and overwhelmed.   After joining Property Entrepreneur, KC found the support, clarity, and strategic insight she needed. She sold her Canadian portfolio, resolved tax complications, and simplified her business. This opened the door to a new income stream of nearly £50,000 per year through catering, private mortgages, and renting out space in her home.   With a clear financial plan and renewed confidence, KC made the bold decision to take a year off to travel across the Canadian Rockies with her husband and children. Through detailed due diligence and a shift in mindset, she realised she had already achieved her financial goals—and didn't need to chase arbitrary figures.   KC is a shining example of what it means to live a Life By Design—on her own terms, with purpose and passion.   I hope you enjoy this episode and are inspired by KC's journey of courage, clarity, and creating a life that truly works.   Success and failure are both very predictable.

A mother-daughter trip is an incredible way to bond in ways that you can't recreate in your home environment. This week, Kim and Tamara share their tips for mother-daughter trips and provide ideas for some of their favorite mother-daughter trip destinations (these can also be used for mother-son or father-daughter/son trips too.) Episode Highlights When kids are younger, it is fun to find a theme to base the trip around or pick a destination that is tied to their interests Get your kids involved in the planning or allow them to choose a destination. At a minimum, let them choose activities. Plan to do a side-by-side activity like a cooking class, surfing lesson, rock climbing, white water rafting, etc. When you learn something new or get out of your comfort zone, they see how you handle the situation. Group travel can actually be a great solution for a mother-daughter trip because you can interact with others but then your alone time is even more precious. Talk about your highs and lows for each day or part of the trip while traveling. Recognize your kids as individuals and cater to their travel styles and don't try to push your preferences or travel style on them. Also, think about taking a mother-daughter trip with your mom. These trips help kids learn how to be a traveler, how to navigate, and how to make travel decisions. Plan a hotel or two that offers room service when you are on a long road trip. Some of our favorite mother-daughter trip destinations have been: Peru, Canadian Rockies, Ireland, Iceland, Chicago, NYC, cruising, road tripping through the South, and a spa trip.

Episode 356: In this episode, we explore two enduring Canadian legends that have captivated imaginations for generations. Our journey begins with the Lost Lemon Mine, a tale from the Canadian Rockies dating back to 1870. Two prospectors, Frank Lemon and "Blackjack," allegedly discovered gold, but their expedition descended into a dark saga of murder, madness, and an alleged curse that has kept the mine's location hidden for over 150 years. We then venture to the frigid wilderness of Nunavut, where the mystery of the vanishing village at Angikuni Lake unfolds. In November 1930, fur trapper Joe Labelle reportedly discovered an abandoned Inuit settlement, sparking an investigation and endless speculation about the disappearance of an entire Inuit village. Join us as we delve into these fascinating Canadian mysteries, examining the evidence, historical context, and their lasting impact on the nation's folklore.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I sit down with Cheryl Ong Seng, Vice President of Retail at Circana, to explore the latest trends shaping the Canadian retail landscape. From consumer confidence and value-seeking behaviours to the challenges of personalization and pricing strategies, they cover the key insights retailers need to know.Cheryl shares her journey from Mauritius and Australia to leading Circana's retail insights based in Canmore, Alberta, providing a unique perspective on the data and analytics that drive decision-making in the industry. She explains how Circana collects and interprets consumer trends across multiple sectors, helping retailers and brands stay ahead in an evolving market. One of the key themes of the conversation is how consumer behaviour continues to shift in response to economic pressures. Cheryl and Michael discuss how Canadian shoppers seek more value through private-label products, reward programs, or trading down to budget-friendly options. They explore the “little treat culture paradox,” where consumers splurge on premium items like coffee or gourmet groceries rather than traditional dining experiences.The episode also examines the role of AI and technology in retail, particularly in enabling better personalization and targeted marketing. Despite years of discussion around personalization, many retailers still struggle to deliver relevant promotions to their customers. Cheryl shares insights on how AI-driven data analytics can unlock new opportunities for more effective engagement.Pricing strategy is another hot topic, as retailers weigh the benefits of everyday low pricing (EDLP) versus high-low promotional models. Cheryl highlights the importance of understanding consumer psychology—while EDLP offers stability, shoppers often respond more enthusiastically to promotions and perceived discounts.Finally, the discussion touches on key industry trends, including the rise of buy-now-pay-later options, the growing consumer preference for Canadian-made products, and the balance between sustainability and affordability in purchasing decisions.Whether you're a retailer, brand leader, or industry analyst, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of retail in Canada. Tune in for expert perspectives on the data-driven decisions shaping the industry today. About CherylAs Vice President of Retail Canada, Cheryl Ong Seng is responsible for leading retail commercial teams in Canada.

How can we help others when they are experiencing distress? We have all been in situations with friends, family or clients who are experiencing distress due to adversity. These challenging moments can come when people have suffered an injury, illness, or are working through physical or mental discomfort.When we find ourselves in these situations, knowing what to say, what to avoid saying, or how to act can be difficult regardless of how well intentioned we are.In this episode we are joined again by Jill Wheatley who is going to walk us through some strategies that we can use to help people through distress and adversity.Jill Wheatley is no stranger to experiencing distress herself. Jill experienced a freak accident while on a teaching assignment that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. This resulted in her losing 70% of her vision as well as a life-threatening eating disorder.More recently, Jill's resiliency has been tested once again when a fall ice climbing last winter led to multiple breaks in her leg and ankle.Jill reflects on the lessons learned on climbing expeditions in the Himalayas and recovering from injury on how we can help others when they are suffering.This is the second episode with Jill, and she continues to be candid and remarkable.Key TakeawaysHow can we help people through distress whether it be from injury, illness, discomfort or challenge:Be empathetic: This means putting yourself on their position and trying to see the situation through their eyesRecognizing Empathy Versus Sympathy: Empathy is understanding what someone might be going through while sympathy is feeling sorry or pitying them. Leading with empathy is a far more effective strategy to help people than sympathy.Listening can be a Very Powerful Tool: We can often want to try to solve people's problems when simply listening to what people have to say would be far more beneficial. Sometimes people just want to share their pain, stress and discomfort and be heard.Acknowledge Reality: Acknowledging that people are suffering can also be beneficial. As Jill pointed out, when we are in a weakened state, we don't necessarily want to hear that we are fragile, or under-performing. We also don't want to hear that everything is fine.Everyone is Different: When it comes to dealing with people, there is really no one size fits all strategy.Guest BioFollowing a traumatic brain injury that resulted in life threatening complications and 70% vision loss which required 26 months spent between 7 different health care facilities in 3 countries, Canadian Jill Wheatley was dropped at Denver International Airport with no direction. The only sign she could see pointed to mountains. Despite such compromised eyesight, Jill chose to spend one year alone with Mother Nature in an attempt to find light on life's trail. Her search led through 13 different massifs and upon running in the Annapurnas in Nepal, she knew that she wanted to spend more time among Himalayan giants. Essentially she has gone from being bedridden, to a wheelchair, then on to walking, navigating hospital parking lots to hiking, trail running, mountain running and skiing before climbing 5, 6, and then seven 8000 m peaks and spending the past 5 years based in Nepal. In a story made for movies, Jill's trail has recently connected to another type of climb when she had a lead fall ice climbing in February 2024 not long after shifting home from the Himalayas to the comforts of Canmore in the Canadian Rockies. With multiple breaks in her leg and ankle, she is committed to a full recovery and getting back to breaking down the stigma associated with brain injury, vision loss and eating disorders while encouraging and helping others get out to do wild things in wild places.

Within the rugged valley of the Crowsnest Pass, 1920, a daring robbery had sent shockwaves throughout the Canadian Rockies and her many communities. Three bandits held up a locomotive bound for the town of Crowsnest, their unknown motives as much a mystery as the men themselves. What would follow, would amount to one of the Province's largest manhunts ever recorded, and one of the most costly in terms of dead lawmen...   Craving more episodes?

Rick Accomazzo came of age in the climbing world as part of the Stonemasters—a name adopted by a group of friends largely climbing in Yosemite, Tahquitz and Suicide Rocks in the 1970s. To become a Stonemaster, you had to send a 5.11 called Valhalla. Tobin Sorenson was a Stonemaster too. He was also, Accomazzo believes, the best all-around climber in the world at the time.  Throughout the 70s, the Stonemasters branched out from rock to ice, and from California to the Canadian Rockies and Europe. Sorenson, Accomazzo recalled, took to alpine climbing just as well as he had to rock. It was an age of joy, fun and great physical challenges. But in 1980, Sorenson died in an accident on Mt. Alberta when he was twenty-five years old. The Stonemasters were deeply affected by the loss. They climbed on, but it was never the same.  Accomazzo shares the story of his friend in his new book, “Tobin, The Stonemasters, And Me: Remembering Tobin Sorenson, The Best Climber In The World.” Accomazzo shares his personal experiences climbing with Sorenson and reflects on the ability, character and accomplishments that made him so singular in the climbing universe.  Support for this episode of the Alpinist Podcast comes from Patagonia. Following our conversation with Rick Accomazzo, you can listen to Patagonia Ambassador Colin Haley chat with host Abbey Collins about his passion for innovation and product development, and in particular his role in developing the new M10 Storm pants.

Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by legend Krissy Scurfield for #RugbyHive Episode 35. Scurfield is a Canadian rugby sensation who played a pivotal role in securing a Silver Medal for Rugby Canada at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Known for her electric speed and unmatched resilience, Krissy's rise to the top of international rugby has been nothing short of extraordinary. Originally from the picturesque town of Canmore, Alberta, nestled in the Canadian Rockies, Krissy's early years were defined by a love for sports, particularly ice hockey. She grew up playing on the ice, embodying the quintessential Canadian spirit, before making a transformative switch to rugby. This transition wasn't just about changing sports; it was about embracing new challenges and opportunities on the global stage. After her debut on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, Krissy quickly became a standout player, and in 2022, she earned a spot on the Vancouver Sevens Dream Team. During the 2023/2024 Series, Scurfield scored 20 tries in 37 matches. Scurfield's road to the Paris Olympics was a tough one, marked by both triumphs and setbacks. Despite an injury during the Games, Krissy showed incredible grit and determination, helping Canada secure a historic Silver Medal. In this episode, we talk about her journey to Paris, the devastating injury she picked up on day one of competition, and the overwhelming support from her family and teammates. After the Olympics, Krissy continued her career with the Loughborough Lightning in the UK, where she embraced a new challenge playing in the Premiership Women's Rugby competition. We discuss her transition to the UK, a memorable coast-to-coast try she scored, and how her sevens experience has helped her thrive in the 15s format, with the goal of playing in the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England! Off the field, Krissy is making a mark as the founder of Scurfield Athletics, a personal training business where she helps others unlock their athletic potential. She shares the rewards and challenges of coaching and mentoring young athletes, offering invaluable insights into what it takes to succeed both on and off the field.

Operating Manual for Enlightenment: Recreating Your Mind by Lincoln Stoller Amazon.com This Operating Manual is not offering enlightenment, it's describing it. The enlightened mind unites intellect and emotion despite their separation being built into the structure of our brains. This split appears in the mythic division between our lower and higher natures, and the separation of mind and body. Intellect and emotion function in concert. As color and shape are to vision, one complements the other. When fully integrated, they cannot be taken apart. The topics in the book's first half lean toward the intellectual. The second half looks at the division from the emotional side. What we are separating with one hand, we are putting together with the other. Struggle We naturally consider our problems as different from ourselves. We see them in our environment, and rely on our skills and insights to resolve them. Our intellectual solutions address one aspect of these problems, while our emotions address another. Are these problems to be solved, or processes to be understood? What should we do if our problems are inside us? Mind Your state determines your readiness, arousal, and self-reflection. Your state of mind orients your thinking, how you can feel about yourself, and who you're able to be. Equally important are thoughts you're not likely to have, or cannot have at all. This book is about the states of mind that support focus, awareness, thoughts, and feelings. It's is not a guide to solving problems, it's an explanation of how you see. State With our state of mind, we gather our thoughts and focus our attention. Focus without a state is like a telescope with no one to look through it. In order to focus, first take full responsibility for all you think and feel. The properties of your state determine what you're capable of. One state of mind is not enough because you cannot understand the world from one point of view. Your future is determined by your range of states of mind. Wisdom Alternate states of mind support understandings we don't have. They may be logical, emotional, spiritual, or evanescent. They could involve knowledge spread across generations so that no one generation has the complete picture. We might call them prophetic, inspired, psychedelic, or delusional. Larger states of mind develop with experience, but they're not defined by the facts they hold. One needs a state of mind that can accommodate contradictions without generating conflict. Instantaneous Enlightenment Change does not happen instantly, but epiphanies feel instantaneous. The reason is simple: a new state is a whole rearrangement of one's previous conception. There are no halfway states to total rearrangement. Many pieces need to fall into place before we can make ourselves into something new. We are at a watershed moment in our understanding of the mind, after which psychology will change. Instead of focusing on thoughts and behavior, we are coming to understand that what's important is what you can think and how you can behave. The Operating Manual is an intellectual, emotional, and neurological road map to the integration you don't yet have. About the author Lincoln Stoller grew up around and was mentored by artists, engineers, scientists, athletes, and educators recognized as some of the greatest of the 20th century. He has published in the academic and the popular press as an astronomer, physicist, software architect, neurologist, anthropologist, psychotherapist, and explorer. As a teenager, he fell 1,000 feet off the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, swam to rescue on an island in the arctic sea, crashed his airplane, collapsed his horse, stepped in quicksand, survived frostbite, starved, poisoned himself, survived a major earthquake, was buried in an avalanche, and became a cultural ambassador to families in Central America, Mongolia, and the Caribbean.

As a drinkers, it's hard not to get excited when you hear brewers talking about ingredients. The passion, the exploration, the flavor. There is so much the main ingredients in beer bring to the glass.  This week it's a trio of brewers talking about how they approach ingredients, from hop selection, to heirloom corn in lagers. It was recorded in front of an audience of brewers at the annual Schilling Oktoberfest in New Hampshire, and the panel includes:  Maggie Pinto left a successful job in home infusion pharmaceuticals to pursue her dream of brewing beer.

In this episode of the HappyCast, we go traverse the Canadian Rockies with Rachel Bambrick in one of the hardest “new” 200 milers in the country: The Divide 200 by Sinister Sports. Rachel talks about preparing for this race, having done Cocodona 250 previously and setting out to do more unsupported efforts. She talks about the difficulty of the now infamous first 50k, and how Mother Nature came in to throw a few wrenches in everyone's plans. She proclaims it the hardest race she's ever done, but can't overstate just how beautiful it truly is out there. She is also leading a movement with creating Women In Ultrarunning, which was created to make trail running more accessible to women across the country. Primarily in Pennsylvania, the movement is slowly taking hold across the country. So strap in and let's traverse the raw and rugged Rockies together in this exciting episode of the HappyCast!Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan sits down with Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound's in-house photographer. Garrett is a relatively new member of the team, joining full time the very week of this year's San Francisco Windup Watch Fair. But he had contributed a number of gear and EDC focused pieces before that, so he's likely not completely unfamiliar to regular readers. In this conversation, Garrett talks about how he got into watches through the EDC world and his longtime interest in photography. Zach and Garrett also have an in depth discussion diving into Garrett's recent experience with Citizen in the Canadian Rockies, which he wrote about recently in a fantastic “Out of Office” feature.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Nestled within the Canadian Rockies in southwest Alberta is Crowsnest Pass. The name is a translation of Native American words that meant "the nest of the crow." Crowsnest Pass is an area of stunning scenery, but also a place of tragedy, rum running, coal mining and was the home of the last woman to hang in Alberta. There are many interesting stories about this location and several of them seem to have ghosts connected to them. Join us for the history and hauntings of Alberta's Crowsnest Pass! The Moment in Oddity features Gates of Hell Hacienda Heights and This Month in History features the Great Fire of London.

Jason "Puck" Puckett, former KJR host  and John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com, discuss Puck's recent vacation in the Canadian Rockies and the kindness of Canadians. They then delve into the future of the Oregon State and Washington State football teams, specifically regarding their scheduling agreement with the Mountain West Conference. They explore the possibility of the two schools forming an agreement with the ACC and discuss the challenges of scheduling independent games. They also touch on the recent telecast of the Oregon State and Washington State football games on the CW network and the issues with game overflows. Finally, they address the ongoing dispute between the Big Ten Network and Xfinity. The conversation discusses the ongoing dispute between the Big Ten Network and Comcast over distribution rights. It explains how the Big Ten Network is owned by Fox and is included in the basic cable package for local cable providers in Big Ten markets, while it is considered an outer tier channel for the rest of the country. The dispute arose when Comcast started charging an additional fee for the Big Ten Network in the Pacific Northwest, where there are no Big Ten teams. The conversation also touches on alternative streaming options for viewers.Rundown00:00 Kindness and Cleanliness in the Canadian Rockies03:31 The Future of Oregon State and Washington State Football07:11 Exploring Scheduling Agreements with the ACC12:02 Challenges of Telecasting Games on the CW Network17:22 Dispute Between Big Ten Network and Xfinity18:41 The Big Ten Network and Comcast Distribution Dispute19:40 Understanding the Inner Market vs. Outer Market Debate20:39 Comcast's Markup and the Staring Contest21:35 The Bigger Negotiation at Play22:34 The Impact on Viewers and Alternative Streaming Options
