BY his own admission Chris Mackie took his playing career for granted. The Fauldhouse boss was a man of many clubs when he had the boots on. Chris told us about his hopes and aspirations for The Hoose in the first part of interview in episode 58. But this time we hear some frank talking as he tells us about the massive regrets he has. There was the Christmas night fight which got him a move from Shotts and being motivated by a bottle of Moet. Chris looks back on his best day in football, when he scored in the Scottish Junior Cup final for Clydebank. He tells us how he was convinced to play again after talks at a burger van and why he went from hero to a villain with no name at St Anthony's. Plus there's why Chris believes his experiences can help him help others not to go down the same path. And there's also news of a new club song in the West of Scotland League as Maybole release a new track written by David Anderson.

CHRIS MACKIE took over at Fauldhouse a year ago – but has only managed two games in that time. A squad transformed by the man of many clubs as a player returned to training last week. They're gearing up for their first season in the East of Scotland League after quitting the juniors at the end of the latest campaign. But if Chris had had his way they'd be playing in the west. The former Clydebank and St Anthony's striker felt it would have made sense. Especially when, three miles down the road, it's exactly where Harthill will line up Instead though geography will force The Hoose to head in the opposite direction. Chris joins us this week and tells us why he doesn't agree with that – but why any move was better than staying where they were. We'll also hear about the changes he's implemented at Park View – and where he wants to take the club. It's a great listen – but it's not all either. We'll have a second part looking back at Chris' eventful playing career in the coming weeks. It's all here as we go Down The Divisions.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Health Canada is recommending the provinces and territories suspend use of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine for people under 55. It's to allow time to analyze new reports of patients in Europe developing blood clots. The move follows updated guidance from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization. Why does AstraZeneca vaccine guidance keep changing? GUEST: Dr. Bradly G. Wouters, Executive Vice President of Science and Research at University Health Network - The Middlesex-London Health Unit moved to the red-control level from the orange-restrict level of the province’s COVID-19 response framework. Medical officer of health Dr. Chris Mackie says this is the region’s last chance to avoid “a significant lockdown.” GUEST: Jonathan Sher, Health Journalist and Investigative Reporter, - Conversations are beginning about Generation C, the COVID-19 kids. While exactly which ages should be included in this generational label is under debate, what’s clear to researchers of child development is that COVID-19 has led to global shutdowns that have rattled economies, communities and families, and will affect children for years to come. UNICEF reports the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of children and their families around the world, and that across virtually every key measure of childhood, progress has gone backward. The number of children who are hungry, isolated, abused, anxious and living in poverty has increased. Children’s access to learning environments, socialization, essential services, health, nutrition and protection has decreased. More and more, we will see the impact of social isolation, the loss social skill development and trauma on young children. Some children will bear the scars of the pandemic for years to come. Addressing those scars, especially for our more vulnerable and at-risk children, is an urgent priority. Access to high-quality early childhood education and kindergarten is not the singular solution to these problems, but is a cornerstone. GUEST: Dr. David Philpott, Retired Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Research Associate with the Atkinson Center on society and child development at University of Toronto - Ontario offers $200 Million in support programs in the hopes of revitalizing the province’s tourism and hospitality industry that was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first is the $100-million tourism and hospitality small business support grant program that would allow businesses one-time payments of up to $20,000, which includes supports for thousands of hotels, motels, travel agencies, water parks, and overnight summer camps.

It was shocking news to learn just one week ago of the first reported case of illness linked to vaping products in Canada. In a gripping news conference, which we covered here on RegWatch, officials from the Middlesex-London Health Unit in Ontario released details, albeit limited of an Ontario teenager who was put on life-support after using a vaping device. Dr. Chris Mackie, the region's medical officer and CEO of health for the Middlesex-London Health Unit didn't pull any punches regarding his assessment of the cause of the illness, which he says is simply vaping. He makes no distinction between traditional nicotine vaping and the vaping of illicit THC products which have been identified as the likely cause of the outbreak of illness and death in the United States. During Wednesday's news conference, Dr. Mackie was asked if he could identify the substance in question that was vaped and while acknowledging that he knew the answer he refused to make that information public. He also indicated that he knew the brand of the product, but Mackie again refused to release that information. In this edition of RegWatch Live industry insiders Maria Papaioannoy-Duic and Jonathan Marshall discuss the controversy and their concerns over the lack of information being provided, and the incessant campaign to demonize vaping.

Claudius is famous as the survivor of the Julio-Claudian family – an unlikely emperor according to both ancient historians and Robert Graves alike. His apparent devotion to his wives led Tacitus and Suetonius to ridicule him, and may he may have been murdered by his fourth wife, Agrippina, the mother of Nero. Nero, in turn, is Rome's most infamous emperor: accused of incest, matricide, sexual deviance and arson. This lecture investigates the reasons why both emperors are represented in such outrageous terms. It also considers the perils faced by those in the imperial court, as well as Nero's interest in Greek culture, and the path which led to his violent death.

When Augustus died in 14 CE, he had successfully established a dynastic form of monarchy which was confirmed by the continuation of the principate. This is despite the loss of all of the male heirs related to him by blood, as his successor was his stepson, Tiberius, seen as gloomy and paranoid in ancient sources. He was in turn succeeded by Caligula - a short-lived emperor who nevertheless made his mark as one of Rome's most notoriously cruel and deviant rulers.

Augustus continued the late Republican trend of utilising public building as a propagandist tool, to promote himself and his regime. However, Augustan monuments are also notable for their elevation of the emperor's dynasty and their portrayal of women and children – a first in Roman public art. These buildings are therefore useful tools for popularising Augustus' regime and preparing the way for his succession, as well as further cementing his family values in ahighly public way.

Augustan Love: Propertius and Ovid

The Roman World

Love poetry during the Augustan period is notable for the elegiac genre, a short-lived but significant body of poetry which represents the poet as enslaved and entirely dominated by his mistress. This lectures examines the love poetry of Propertius and Ovid, and also looks at Ovid's controversial poem, The Art of Love, which trivialised the family values being promoted by Augustus, and was probably responsible for the harsh punishment imposed by the emperor: the poet's exile to the Black Sea.

War is the central theme of Aeneid 7-12, as Aeneas faces opposition to his settlement in Italy, primarily from the Rutulian prince, Turnus. This lecture concentrates on books 7, 10 and 12, showing how Juno, via Allecto manipulates Turnus and other characters to create conflict and bloodshed in Italy. Throughout, Virgil reminds us of the sorrow and loss involved in warfare, concentrating particularly on the father-son relationship. However, unlike Homer's Iliad, Vergil gives no reconciliation at the end of his epic, leaving this poem open to multiple interpretations. Copyright 2013 La Trobe University, all rights reserved.
