Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast concludes their Christmas reading of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight with Fitt 4, exploring Gawain's restored armor, journey to the eerie Green Chapel, the three axe swings, Bertilak's revelations, Morgan le Fay's role, and the court's final response.Visit our WEBSITE for our reading schedule and more!Check out our 50 QUESTION AND ANSWER GUIDE to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.The discussion wrestles with Gawain's girdle lapse, the degree of his fault, the poem's moral realism, and its enduring vision of chivalry tempered by humility and grace.Why is this poem worth reading?This 14th-century gem subverts chivalric romance by relocating true heroism from battlefield glory to internal struggles with fear, courtesy, and faith—revealing with wit, irony, and profound humanity how even the “most faultless” knight bears imperfection. Its vivid poetry, layered symbolism (pentangle, girdle, greenness), and Christmas-liturgical depth offer a timeless meditation on pride, mortality, and divine mercy that meets flawed striving with grace—making it an ideal seasonal read for reflecting on our own hidden fears and the courage to face them.Key Discussion PointsRestored Armor & Girdle: Gawain's gleaming armor (rust scraped off) and open wearing of the girdle for self-preservation—symbolizing lingering fear beneath renewed ideal.Final Temptation: Servant's offer to lie and let Gawain flee—Gawain refuses, prioritizing truth and fortitude.Green Chapel: Described as ancient barrow/tomb in wild valley—evoking death, pagan past, nature's savagery, and satanic dread.Three Swings: First (flinch), second (feigned), third (nick)—mirroring castle days; nick as merciful penance for girdle fault.Degree of Error: Guests debate: minor (fear-driven, not malice) yet meaningful lapse in trust/providence; Tolkien downplays, Deacon sees deeper Christian failing.Morgan le Fay vs. Mary: Opposing feminine forces—malicious fae magic vs. protective providence.Gawain's Reaction: Self-reproach, brief blaming of women, then accepting girdle as lifelong humility token.Court's Response: Laughter, solidarity—adopting green baldric as fraternity badge, transforming shame into shared emblem.Old French Motto: “Honi soit qui mal y pense”—Order of the Garter motto reframing girdle as honorable.Notable QuotesBanished Kent: “The poem ends on God's grace… he survives because of that.”George: “Gawain as anti-Lancelot… and anti-Galahad—more human, more endearing.”Thank you for joining this Christmas journey through Sir Gawain.

Welcome to the latest episode of L.I.F.T.S, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this annual predictions special, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by Anthony Vennare, co-founder of Fit Insider, to review how their 2025 fitness predictions performed and to forecast what's coming in 2026. Key topics covered: Which 2025 fitness and wellness predictions actually came true. Why wearables and biometrics are becoming mainstream tools. The rise of GLP-1 drugs and their industry-wide impact. Why AI fitness apps may be heading toward a shakeout. How local, premium wellness concepts are outperforming big brands. Why strength training continues to dominate global fitness trends. The shift from aesthetics to holistic health and longevity. What 2026 holds for fitness, tech, and consumer behavior.

The Five Idiots sit down for a massive discussion to predict the state of the vintage toy collecting market in 2026!We dive deep into: why Star Wars prices are finally stabilizing (and dropping 25-30% on full collections), the need for collectors and sellers to pivot away from solely classic Star Wars figures, and which new toy lines are unexpectedly hot (Dukes of Hazzard, LJN Wrestling, and video games like F-Zero).The hosts share their personal strategies for buying and selling today, emphasizing the importance of pricing items at current market value—not outdated "COVID-era" prices—and why always learning from other collectors at toy shows and flea markets is the secret to finding the next big trend. Don't get stuck on old prices—learn where the hobby is heading next!0:00:00 - Intro & Holiday Banter (Time Zones & New Year's Eve)0:05:04 - The State of Vintage Toy Prices: COVID Highs to 2026 Plateau0:09:44 - Why Star Wars Collectors Are Selling & Rebuying at Lower Prices0:12:12 - Pivoting from Star Wars: Collecting Other Toy Lines (TMNT, GI Joe, Voltron)0:22:48 - The Secret to Selling: Current Pricing vs. Old Collector Pages0:34:44 - The Rise of New Toy Lines: Dukes of Hazzard & Vintage Video Games0:43:40 - The Value of Collector Knowledge: Learning at Flea Markets0:50:02 - Outro & Final Thoughts#vintagetoys #toycollecting #starwarscollecting #toypredictions2026 #dukesofhazzard #ljnwrestling #vintagestarwars #toyprices #toystrategy #fivetalkingtoys #actionfigures #collectinglife #podcast-----------------------

Welcome back to another episode of Wins and Wiffs! This week, the Five Idiots descend into holiday mayhem right off the bat, thanks to a thoughtful (and highly debated) gift from friend Shawn Barrell: a box full of Little Debbie Christmas snacks!

The Five Idiots are back with a Holiday MAYHEM special!

It's time for Wins and Wiffs of the Week! Brandon checks in from Hawaii, but can't find any toy shops. Chris and John show off some hot collectibles, including an awesome GI Joe lunchbox and the new Marvel Legends X-Men '97 Cable figure.The conversation quickly heats up as the Idiots notice a huge drop-off in YouTube comments and try to figure out what the audience really wants to talk about (Spoiler: It's all about vintage toys and grading!). John also dives into why the new X-Men '97 figures are already tanking in value and unleashes a hilarious rant about a trip to GameStop after 27 years.Don't forget to stick around for the end where Charles issues a public challenge to any viewer who wants to screw up his workflow!0:00:00 - FITT Intro0:01:06 - Aloha from Hawaii: Brandon's Win (No Toy Shops!)0:06:33 - Lego Star Wars: Collecting All 1600 Minifigures0:08:49 - Vintage Lunch Box Win: GI Joe with Thermos0:10:48 - Why Our YouTube Comments Vanished (Despite High Views)0:12:08 - John's Marvel Legends X-Men '97 Cable0:13:06 - Why Are X-Men '97 Figures Tanking in Value?0:14:00 - Our Wild GameStop Employee Rant0:16:56 - Wiff of the Week: Charles's Still Missing Accessories0:17:33 - The Comment Challenge: Charles Needs Your Hate!#XMen97 #MarvelLegends #LegoStarWars #GIJoe #XMen #PodcastRant #GameStop #ToyCollecting #WinsAndWiffs #ToyHunting #FITT #Marvel #actionfigures -----------------------

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, we are discussing Fitt 1 of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight with Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Justin Jackson of Hillsdale College, Chivalry Guild, and Banished Kent.Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Check out our WRITTEN GUIDE to Sir Gawain and the Greek Knight (posted soon!).Episode SummaryThe panel dives into the 14th-century Middle English masterpiece Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, exploring its mysterious single-manuscript survival, alliterative brilliance, and rich layers of meaning in Fit 1. From the Troy-to-Britain prologue to the shocking arrival of the Green Knight and the beheading game, the discussion uncovers dualities, temptations, and the clash between chivalric courtesy and Christian virtue that make this Christmas tale profoundly relevant.Why Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Is Worth ReadingThis poem stands as one of the greatest works of English literature because it masterfully blends adventure, humor, moral depth, and spiritual insight. As Dr. Jackson notes, it survived by miracle in a single tiny manuscript, yet offers the “greatest chivalric romance” alongside exquisite theological literacy. It probes timeless questions—how do pride, fear, courtesy, and faith collide in a fallen world?—without easy answers, forcing readers to wrestle with their own choices. Tolkien saw it as a meditation on seductive worldly culture versus Christian ethos; the guests highlight its realistic portrayal of human imperfection amid high ideals. Beautifully crafted (alliteration, bob-and-wheel, vivid imagery), often funny, and profoundly Christian, it humanizes the heroic while elevating humility and grace—perfect for Christmas reflection on mortality, temptation, and redemption.Key Discussion PointsManuscript & Poet: A unique survival with Pearl, Cleanness, and Patience; anonymous poet of astounding skill in alliterative revival.Historical Frame: Begins with Troy's fall and Aeneas (traitor in medieval legend) leading to Brutus and Britain—history as “bliss and blunder.”Arthur's Court: Young, vital Arthur is admirable yet “somewhat childish,” craving marvels or “life for life” combat.Guinevere's Gray Eyes: Symbol of wisdom/clarity, yet ambiguous; benchmark of beauty later challenged.Green Knight's Duality: Terrifying green giant vs. courtly noble—tempting fear/violence vs. courtesy/mercy.The Game: Explicitly “stroke for stroke,” not beheading; court's violent interpretation reveals failures.Tolkien's Lens: Tension between seductive chivalric/courtly culture and higher Christian virtue.Gawain's Intervention: Praised as humble, loyal self-sacrifice to shield Arthur.Notable QuotesDr. Jackson: “The poem is giving you two readings throughout, and then it wants to see which one are you going to appropriate.”Deacon Garlick: “This text captures my imagination… knowledge is an antecedent to love.”George (via Tolkien): “Gawain… as a matter of duty and humility and self-sacrifice.”Resources & RecommendationsTolkien's translation and scholarly editionJames Winny's facing-page translationDr. Jackson's Hillsdale online course lecture (watch after finishing the poem to avoid spoilers)Next episode: Fits 2–3 with Dr. Tiffany Schubert.

Un fragore improvviso ha squarciato la quiete della tarda mattinata lungo la Sp248, trasformando un normale transito in una scena da emergenza. Attorno alle 11.30 di oggi, giovedì 11 dicembre, un autocarro Fiat Ducato bianco, diretto dal centro di Sandrigo verso Ancignano, ha improvvisamente perso la traiettoria all'altezza del civico 8, nei pressi della ditta “Fitt”, finendo ribaltato nell'adiacente pista ciclabile.

Tonight, we're diving deep into a topic that has every collector's wallet sweating: TOY REISSUES! Are they a blessing for new collectors looking to fill holes in their display, or are they killing the secondary market for long-time fans?The guys break down how companies like #Hasbro are constantly re-releasing figures—sometimes even on the exact same card—and what that does to the value of rare figures (RIP those $2,000 Ahsoka figures).In this episode, we talk about:• The #MarvelLegends Retro line re-release of #Kingpin, #Rhino, and #CaptainAmerica.• The true meaning of a "reissue" vs. a "re-imagining" (looking at you, #JurassicPark Hammond Collection).• Why big toy companies are leaning on nostalgia and re-molds instead of making new lines for modern movies.• The future of the toy world, including the rise of K-pop, #Labubu, and the unstoppable, eternal power of #HotWheels.• The painful truth that kids don't really play with action figures anymore.• We want to know what YOU think!

What if the most powerful antidepressant isn't in a pill, but in your sneakers? In this episode, I speak with Dr. Nicholas Fabiano about the science behind why movement can be as effective as antidepressants. We also explore the social and psychological benefits of staying active and how even small steps can spark powerful change. You'll also hear fascinating insights about creatine, brain energy, and how lifestyle prescriptions may soon reshape the future of psychiatry. Dr. Nicholas Fabiano is a psychiatry resident and researcher at the University of Ottawa with a passion for the mind-body connection. Originally from Thunder Bay, he turned a broken arm from an arm-wrestling match into a fascination with how exercise, nutrition, and sleep can transform mental health. Today, his work in lifestyle psychiatry explores how simple daily habits can powerfully impact depression and overall well-being. What you'll learn: (02:57) How Dr. Fabiano's own injury sparked his passion for exercise and mental health. (05:42) Why exercise benefits the brain beyond mood. (07:48) The real science behind exercise and depression, including serotonin, inflammation, and brain growth factors. (09:11) How the social and psychological aspects of movement can be just as healing as the biological ones. (11:40) Simple, practical ways to motivate someone struggling with depression to get moving again. (14:17) Why the best type of exercise is the one you'll actually do—and how adherence matters more than modality. (18:45) How Dr. Fabiano “prescribes” exercise using the FITT framework (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type). (29:25) The surprising connection between creatine supplementation, brain energy, and depression recovery. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

The explosion of AI-generated applications isn't just breaking traditional recruiting - it's creating an unprecedented opportunity by making sophisticated assessment tools accessible for early-stage screening. There is now the opportunity to filter thousands of applicants based on actual predictive data. However, the vendor landscape here can be confusing, and some offerings lack the transparency that employers need. So how can organizations identify tools that leverage AI's efficiency while respecting established peer-reviewed assessment science? My guest this week is Djurre Holtrop, Assistant Professor at Tilburg University.
