In this episode, Cory Connors reconnects with Lara Botta, Vice President of Bota Eco Packaging, joining from Italy. They discuss the intricacies of new sustainability regulations and the paperwork burden they place on consumers and companies alike, and how Lara's team works to make compliance as simple as possible. Lara shares how Bota Eco Packaging, founded by her grandmother in 1947, has stayed ahead of European recyclability standards for decades, and how the company's innovation practices since 2017 have positioned it as a trusted resource for finding new, more sustainable materials. They also cover Italy's economic and energy challenges, the shift from purpose-driven to regulation-driven sustainability, the difficulty of convincing procurement teams that sustainable materials can be cost-effective, and Lara's role as an ambassador at the upcoming Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, where she'll moderate a panel on the controversial "paperization" trend.Key Topics Discussed:Lara's grandmother founding Bota Eco Packaging in 1947 and selling paper packaging around Milan by tramwayThe company's evolution from corrugated cardboard into a sustainable packaging innovation leader since 2017Why Italy and Europe have led the way on recyclability and packaging regulationCurrent market conditions in Italy: energy prices, geopolitics, and slow growthThe shift from purpose-driven sustainability to regulation-driven complianceReframing "cost" conversations with procurement teams around total cost of ownershipBeing named an ambassador for the Sustainable Packaging Summit in UtrechtModerating a panel on "paperization" and why it's a trending but controversial topicConsumer decision-making, System 1 vs. System 2 thinking, and sustainable purchasing behaviorGenerational differences in sustainability expectationsAdvice for attendees heading to the Sustainable Packaging Summit in UtrechtChapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:30 The Complexity of New Sustainability Regulations and Consumer Paperwork Fatigue03:15 Lara's Grandmother and the Founding of Bota Eco Packaging in 194706:00 From Corrugated Cardboard to Sustainable Innovation Since 201709:30 Why Italy and Europe Have Led on Recyclability and Regulation12:15 Current Market Conditions in Italy: Energy, Geopolitics, and Growth15:00 Regulation vs. Purpose: How the Push for Sustainability Has Shifted18:00 Total Cost of Ownership and Changing the Conversation with Procurement21:00 Becoming an Ambassador for the Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht23:15 Moderating the "Paperization" Panel: A Trending but Controversial Topic26:00 Consumer Perception, Decision-Making, and System 1 vs. System 2 Thinking29:00 Generational Differences in Sustainability Expectations31:30 Advice for Attendees Heading to Utrecht33:00 Final Thoughts and How to ConnectResources Mentioned:Bota Eco PackagingSustainable Packaging Summit, Utrecht (10-12 November 2026)Packaging Europe (magazine referenced by Lara as a key industry resource)Contact:Listeners interested in connecting with Lara Botta can reach out via her website or LinkedIn.-Website- LinkedIn (company): Bota EcoPackagingSupport our Sponsors Learn more here:- 3M- Specright- FOREST-PKGhttps://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

Jamie is a sheep and cattle farmer in Derbyshire. He's experienced several big cat incidents, starting with seeing a black panther swat butterflies as a youngster while walking with his Grandmother. Jamie describes finding a cat's lay-up spot with prey remains, being growled at, watching eyes like car headlights through night vision, and firing a warning shot beside a cat to make it retreat. Jamie is keen to learn more and content to live with big cats if they stick to natural prey. He describes two isolated cases of sheep and lamb kills, and considers what caused a big cat to prey-switch in those cases.   As the episode was being recorded, Don (our guest from ep 84) claimed to be watching a big cat elsewhere in Derbyshire on his thermal camera. See the footprint photo on our Refs & Links webpage, taken the next day at the spot where the animal was looking over a stone wall as Don observed it from distance. Words of the week:   Code Omerta 27 September 2026

A grandmother who began using meth as a teen is now clean and inspiring others to change their lives. In the first instalment of RNZ's new series Meth Toll, Serena Solomon and Jessica Hopkins visited the Northland town of Kaikohe.

Ethan discovers his grandmother has been keeping a terrifying scary story from him, and the truth is far worse than he ever imagined. He learns his grandmother has been sharing a disturbing secret with every kid in the neighborhood, except for him. When he decides to secretly listen in, he uncovers a narrative that spans a dark road, a motel, and a house that feels all too real. Then it takes a sharp turn when his grandmother catches him eavesdropping, reacting with immediate, visceral terror.

It's Wednesday, September 23rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christians call for release of Syrian former mayor A persecution watchdog group is calling for the release of a Christian in Syria.  Suleiman Khalil used to be the mayor of the historic Christian town of Sadad. Syrian authorities arrested him last year. He's been in prison without charges for 19 months.  Listen to comments from Richard Ghazal with In Defense of Christians.  GHAZAL: “He was abducted from his home and thrown in prison, without access to counsel, limited access to family medical care. This event is not unique. This is happening all across Syria in many different ways, but it sends a message to Christians that you are not welcome in Syria. You are not Syrians. You are visitors, you are guests, and this is how you will be treated.” You can sign a petition to free Khalil though a link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com. Canadian officials euthanized 83-year Christian great-grandmother Law enforcement officials in Canada are now investigating the killing of a Christian great-grandmother. Eighty-three-year-old Brigitte Stegemann was euthanized on July 10. This happened against her will and against the will of her family. Her granddaughter Brigette Kranendonk said, “I truly believe that one nurse really saw us as an obstacle. We were getting in the way of her doing [euthanasia] on my grandmother. I think she really, truly believes that [euthanasia] is the best for people, and shame on me for trying to stop that.” Proverbs 12:10 says, “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Will European Union add Canada? The European Union is exploring ways to add Canada as an associate member, reports the Epoch Times.  European Union Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen told Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, “I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the European Union.” Von der Leyen continued, “Our cultural, historical, and personal links run deep in the fabric of our societies and thanks to the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement our trade and goods has grown by 75 percent in less than a decade.”  Carney responded on X, “With President von der Leyen and [European Parliament] President [Roberta] Metsola, we focused on what comes next: a closer partnership that strengthens our mutual sovereignty in order to create more opportunities and prosperity for our people.”  However, the idea has received pushback from conservatives in Canada.  Trump's Greenland deal allows America's military presence The United States is establishing a larger military presence on Greenland. President Donald Trump signed an agreement with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark on Tuesday.  The agreement does not make Greenland a territory of the U.S. But it does allow the U.S. military to use the region for its missile defense shield.  Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “We will have the complete ability to do what is necessary to defend the American continent and also Europe and other places. No U.S. adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland anymore or make sensitive investments there without our express written approval. “We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate locations. We'll be building two very major military bases.” How Christians are reaching the deaf And finally, Christian ministries are reaching the deaf and hard-of-hearing with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. RevelationMedia, in partnership with the International Mission Board, launched an animated Bible resource. It's the Gospel of Luke, word-for-word, in American Sign Language. In it, the characters themselves sign through the story. Steve Cleary, Founder of RevelationMedia, said, “In many parts of the world, deaf individuals are treated as second-class citizens. Disconnected from the hearing world, these individuals often feel forgotten and unloved. Our mission is to bring the hope and good news of the Gospel into their hands through a compelling, visual format they can understand.” In Luke 7:22, Jesus said, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

What happens when a grieving family brings home a robot grandmother? In this episode of ProfessorFrenzy, we enter The Twilight Zone to discuss "I Sing the Body Electric," Season 3, Episode 35, which originally aired on May 18, 1962. The story follows widower George Owens and his three children as they turn to a futuristic company for an unusual solution to their need for love, guidance, and companionship: an artificial grandmother. But this isn't simply a story about robots. "I Sing the Body Electric" explores grief, family, childhood, memory, artificial intelligence, and what it really means to care for someone. We'll look at the episode's story, performances, Rod Serling's writing, its fascinating vision of artificial intelligence, and the surprisingly emotional relationship between the children and their new grandmother. Is this one of The Twilight Zone's most overlooked stories? Let's step into the Zone and find out!

What if the prayers of someone you loved are still surrounding you—even after they've crossed over? In this touching psychic medium reading, Dominic from Vancouver, Canada, connects with his Italian grandmother, who comes through with her rosary beads, a beloved family dog, and a deeply personal message about the prayers she offered for him throughout his life. His grandmother also brings reassurance about Dominic's family, a strained sibling relationship, and his move from the United States to Canada. She celebrates the love he has found and reveals that the move is opening new doors for his future. Most emotional of all, she tells him that her prayers have been answered. This beautiful spirit message explores mediumship, the afterlife, signs from deceased loved ones, family healing, spiritual guidance, and the enduring connection between grandparents and grandchildren.

A woman jailed for nearly six months for a crime she says she could not have committed is now suing the city of Fargo for $10 million. The Tennessee grandmother Angela Lipps was arrested last summer after Fargo police used AI facial recognition technology to connect her to bank thefts.Her lawsuit claims a detective relied only on that AI technology, even though Lipps has never even been to North Dakota. Charges were eventually dropped after her attorney provided bank records showing she was in Tennessee at the time of those thefts. Lipps says she lost her home and car while she was in jail for something she didn't do and was denied basic care while she was behind bars.Fargo's former police chief previously acknowledged mistakes in the investigation. The department later required more AI training and changed its facial recognition rules.The city of Fargo has not responded to the lawsuit.

Jens, Lise og Mikkel.En: Three siblings sat at a small round table at a cozy café: Jens, Lise, and Mikkel.Da: Deres hoveder var bøjet sammen, stemmerne var lavmælte, fyldt med både varme minder og nutidens uundgåelige uoverensstemmelser.En: Their heads were bowed together, voices low, filled with both warm memories and the inevitable disagreements of the present.Da: Det var kun en uge siden, deres elskede bedstemoder havde kravlet ud af denne verden og efterladt dem en kiste fyldt med minder i form af hendes ældgamle antikviteter.En: It was only a week since their beloved grandmother had passed from this world, leaving them a chest full of memories in the form of her ancient antiques.Da: Hendes oversvømmende tekopper, det halvkedelige, men velholdte mahogniskab, og det smukt broderede tapet, der havde hængt i deres barndomsværelse i årevis – nu alle kilder til konflikt.En: Her overflowing teacups, the somewhat dull yet well-kept mahogany cabinet, and the beautifully embroidered tapestry that had hung in their childhood room for years—now all sources of conflict.Da: Jens var den ældste.En: Jens was the eldest.Da: Med det kom ikke kun ret, men også ansvar.En: With that came not only privilege but also responsibility.Da: Han vidste, han måtte finde en retfærdig løsning for dem alle, men hvordan delte man minder?En: He knew he had to find a fair solution for them all, but how did one divide memories?Da: Han så ud over kanalen, hvor bådene skvulpede let og grin kunne høres fra de omkringliggende borde.En: He looked out over the canal where the boats bobbed gently and laughter could be heard from the surrounding tables.Da: Livet gik videre, og han ønskede, at de kunne det samme uden at ødelægge de bånd, deres bedstemor havde næret så kærligt.En: Life went on, and he wished they could do the same without breaking the bonds their grandmother had so lovingly nurtured.Da: "Jeg vil virkelig gerne have teservicet," sagde Mikkel, der krammede sin varme kop kaffe.En: "I really want the tea set," said Mikkel, hugging his warm cup of coffee.Da: "Det minder mig om da vi var små.En: "It reminds me of when we were small.Da: Bedstemor plejed at servere os te på netop de kopper."En: Grandmother used to serve us tea in those very cups."Da: Hans stemme var blød og fyldt med længsel.En: His voice was soft and filled with longing.Da: "Men jeg har altid elsket det skab," protesterede Lise, hendes fingre trommede let mod bordkanten.En: "But I've always loved the cabinet," protested Lise, her fingers tapping lightly on the edge of the table.Da: "Det er det eneste møbel, der passer hjemme hos mig."En: "It's the only piece of furniture that fits at my place."Da: Jens lyttede til sine søskende, overvejede deres ønsker, deres drømme.En: Jens listened to his siblings, considering their wishes, their dreams.Da: Hvordan kunne han tage en beslutning, der skulle være fair, men også et varigt bånd mellem dem?En: How could he make a decision that was fair but also a lasting bond between them?Da: Kaj Munk, betjeningen på caféen, bragte dem noget mere kaffe.En: Kaj Munk, the waiter at the café, brought them some more coffee.Da: Han var en ven af familien, som bedstemor havde kendt hele sit liv.En: He was a family friend who had known their grandmother all his life.Da: "I tre ligner nogen, der kunne bruge lidt visdom," bemærkede han med et venligt glimt i øjet.En: "You three look like you could use a bit of wisdom," he remarked with a friendly twinkle in his eye.Da: "Nogle gange vil minder bo i hjertet, ikke i tingene."En: "Sometimes memories live in the heart, not in things."Da: Ordene ramte Jens.En: The words struck Jens.Da: Måske var det det, han havde brug for at høre.En: Maybe that was what he needed to hear.Da: Han samlede sine tanker og vendte sig mod sine søskende.En: He gathered his thoughts and turned to his siblings.Da: "Jeg ved, det er svært.En: "I know it's hard.Da: Men måske handler det ikke kun om, hvem der får hvad," begyndte Jens, og hans stemme blev sikkerere.En: But maybe it's not just about who gets what," began Jens, and his voice grew more confident.Da: "Jeg tror, bedstemor ville ønske, at vi huskede hende og hinanden med kærlighed, ikke med skænderier.En: "I think Grandmother would want us to remember her and each other with love, not arguments.Da: Vi skal dele, både glæden og tingene, på en måde, der minder os om vores tid med hende."En: We should share, both the joy and the things, in a way that reminds us of our time with her."Da: Lise og Mikkel så på ham, overraskede over hans ord, men også rørte over den følelse, der lå bag.En: Lise and Mikkel looked at him, surprised by his words but also touched by the sentiment behind them.Da: Jens foreslog en ny plan.En: Jens proposed a new plan.Da: Hver af dem ville vælge en ting, som de dybt ønskede.En: Each of them would choose one item they deeply desired.Da: Resten skulle de dele med hinanden, skiftes til at låne og prise.En: The rest they would share with each other, taking turns to borrow and cherish.Da: På den måde kunne de stadig føle sig forbundet til hende.En: That way, they could still feel connected to her.Da: Solen gik langsomt ned bag de gamle huse som en smuk eftermiddag drejede sig mod aften.En: The sun slowly set behind the old houses as a beautiful afternoon turned into evening.Da: Konflikten var ikke væk, men en følelse af accept begyndte at flytte sig imellem dem.En: The conflict was not gone, but a sense of acceptance began to move among them.Da: Med hinandens hjælp kunne de ære de minder, der var, og bygge videre på dem uden at miste hinanden.En: With each other's help, they could honor the memories that were and build upon them without losing each other.Da: Jens så rundt på sine søskende med stolthed.En: Jens looked around at his siblings with pride.Da: Han havde måske ikke styret skibet til den perfekte løsning, men han havde fundet en kurs, der bragte dem tættere.En: He may not have steered the ship to the perfect solution, but he had found a course that brought them closer.Da: Med efterårsbladene svajende i vinden traskede de væk fra Nyhavn, enighed hvilende blidt blandt dem.En: With the autumn leaves swaying in the wind, they walked away from Nyhavn, agreement resting gently among them.

Send us Fan MailConnect with Coach Weaver: Click here: https://theresmoreministries.com/A Note Before We BeginToday's conversation includes discussion of abortion, pregnancy loss, and the emotional and spiritual impact that can follow. If you have experienced an abortion, some of what you hear may bring up difficult emotions or memories. Please listen with care and give yourself permission to pause if you need to.If you recognize that there are places in your own story that still need healing, you do not have to process them alone. Coach Cheryl offers confidential, faith-based healing and coaching sessions for women who desire a safe place to process their experience, work through unresolved pain, and move toward healing, freedom, and restoration. Contact Coach at weaver@theresmoreministries.com.A listener note before you press play. This conversation is about abortion, grief, and healing. It is handled with care, and it is honest.Some stories are not for scrolling past. This one belongs to Coach Cheryl Weaver.She was eighteen. She was not a Christian and she was not informed. She thought she had places to go and things to do, and she believed a clinic would let her get on with her life.She says the procedure was the worst pain she has ever felt. When she screamed, the doctor told her to shut up or he would make her have the baby. She was already halfway through. Two weeks later a severe infection nearly killed her.Then came the years nobody warns you about.Her turn came after she came to faith. She says God spoke to her plainly about what had happened, and she asked forgiveness in that moment. That started a road that led her to lead post abortion healing groups for other women.In those groups she noticed something. Grandmothers were showing up. Women who had carried this for decades before they could say it out loud.She has a picture for what that does to a person. Holding a beach ball underwater. Every muscle, every thought, every part of you working to keep it down. And you are exhausted, and you do not know why.Cheryl says abortion is the hardest thing she has watched women forgive themselves for, and that God forgives it fully anyway.There is more in this conversation than that one story. She talks about the night she stood in a bathroom about to lock her heart away for good, and the plaque on the wall that stopped her. She talks about seven years of torment after she got saved, and what she learned about where to keep her focus. And she walks through her Root to Restore method, which starts with the leaves a woman brings in and works down to the root underneath them.She names Forgiven and Set Free as a study she points women toward.Her book is Unbroken Promises, available on Amazon. Her ministry is There's More Ministries, and she co hosts the mental health podcast Laughing with Lions.

Ten years ago Kim Edwards and her boyfriend, Lucas Markham, who were both 14 at the time, stabbed Kim's mother and Kim's younger sister to death.

In this episode of Resilience Unravelled with Dr Russell Thackeray, Antonio Michael Downing discusses growing up in Trinidad and Tobago with his grandmother, who taught him to read from the King James Bible and to sing Anglican hymns, before her death led to his move at age 11 to rural Northern Ontario.He describes the shock of migration, being renamed “Michael” at school, and how losing familiar culture and language prompted questions about identity, belonging, and the self, shaping a lifelong focus on fluid identity and resilience.Downing links resilience to flexibility and performance across contexts, from multiple musical personas to a corporate career at BlackBerry, and notes that those who migrate between ages 9–14 often become “a third thing” between cultures.He connects these themes to his memoir Saga Boy and novel Black Cherokee, explains his creative process as a “visitation,” and shares that Black Cherokee has an Audible audiobook, a paperback coming in August, and that he can be reached on Instagram @antoniomichaeldowning.00:00 Welcome and Introductions01:24 Growing Up in Trinidad02:22 Grandmother's Gifts04:26 Move to Canada07:01 Reinventing Identity11:17 Neither Here Nor There13:45 Two Jackets Life19:08 Resilience Through Fluidity23:13 Themes in Music and Books26:24 Toronto and Belonging28:37 Writing as Visitation33:35 Books Formats and Where to Find34:53 Final Thanks and GoodbyeYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition

Adam Wittbrodt is a personal trainer and recovery advocate. He grew up with an alcoholic father who walked out on his 12th birthday and died before Adam turned 19. Carrying grief Adam spent the next decade and a half burying under IV heroin, forged checks, and 8 felonies. One day he collapsed at the front desk where he worked after injecting what he thought was heroin. It was laced with fentanyl and cocaine. A hotel guest walked in at exactly the right moment and called 911. Three weeks into county jail after that, he heard himself tell his cellmate he was pissed that the paramedics had saved him. That was the break. He went through Midland County Recovery Court, then treatment at Harbor Hall in Petoskey. Sober June 22nd, 2016. He has 10 years, runs a personal training operation with 100+ clients, a fitness and recovery program inside the Midland County Juvenile Justice Center, and co-hosts the Level Up Life podcast.I Used To Do Heroin At Work Now I'm 10 Years Sober w/ Adam Wittbrodt | The Hopeaholics Podcast #359Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsGo to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

     Slam The Gavel welcomes back Hope to the podcast. Hope was last on in August 2023, Season 4, Episode 141. Today she reflected back on the murder of her adult daughter and how she got involved in the court system and realized she had to be a voice for her daughter. Hope watched the impact of the theater of Criminal Court and the judge having the final say asking, 'where are the kids going to go?' However, he was well aware of the placement of her grandchildren. Hope then found herself in Family Court. To Reach Hope: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetrihttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

We're joined by Khamphoy Sayavong, who grew up in a family led by extraordinarily strong women where survival, sacrifice, and silence were the default setting. Together, we talk about what “strength” can mean inside immigrant and collectivist families and how generational trauma often shows up not as one dramatic event, but as a lifelong pattern of minimizing emotion, avoiding vulnerability, and pushing through at all costs. Khamphoy shares her refugee story in vivid detail: a monsoon flood in the northern hills of Thailand that washed away their hut, the terrifying moment she clung to a trunk as the water rose, the years spent moving through refugee camps, and finally arriving in the San Francisco Bay Area to start school without English. We explore the whiplash of assimilation, the pressure of cultural expectations, and how a childhood built on adaptability can quietly train you to read everyone else's needs before your own.Later, grief becomes a turning point. Khamphoy reflects on her grandmother's death, the unexpected unity it revealed among siblings, and the legacy captured in a simple letter that carried love, resilience, and intent. We also dig into her work-in-progress truth: unlearning a survival habit where happiness is only allowed to last a few minutes before the next goal takes over. That realization feeds into GLOW, Grow To Love Oneself Within, her mission to rebuild self-worth from the inside out through healing, not just achievement. If you've ever felt like your family “doesn't talk about pain,” or that you're only as safe as your next accomplishment, this conversation will meet you there.

Steve is a natural as a host. He found his passion for the radio business at the age of six, but wasn't able to fulfill that dream till a little later in life.   As you listen to the wonderful stories Steve shares,  you'll find out that he was raised by both his maternal grandmother and his mom.  "Grandmother was worthless until a crisis. Grandmother was my mother, my light. 'Mother', as he refers to his mom, was my 'dad'-the two women set up  those 'roles'," McCurdy shares. You'll hear Steve repeat over and over again how magnificent his mother was -"a powerful, independent woman with a great, great mind, yet she wanted to be wild and crazy and she never really got to do that." Plus, Margie never went to college because any money the family  had went to Margie's brother's wants and needs. Margie started working in a local bank  in Texas at 16 and because of her expertise, hard work and dedication over decades of running the Proof Department, she was able to apply for a  program through Southwest Institute Of Graduate Business Studies and SMU. Because she had never gotten and undergraduate degree, she was able to take an exam, passed the test with flying colors, got her undergraduate degree certificate based on her lifelong experience and the exam and became the first person to ever complete a Masters program at SMU without having actually attended college. There is more to this story  as it was taking place in the late 60's and the Civil Rights Movement. Steve's mother made a considerable effort to train the other female employees and not just overlook them because she knew they were intelligent and capable to do any job if trained properly. There's so much more to Steve's story. Hope you enjoy this episode of SHLTMM.     Steve.mccurdy@storymastermedia.com CrossRoadDiner@storymastermedia.com   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

A talk by Kathie Fischer. This talk was given on June 13, 2026.

Today is a good day to die.Which means it's a good day to come alive.In this reflection on Psalm 51, John Ortberg explores an old Christian word that doesn't get used much anymore: mortification.It sounds miserable.But properly understood, mortification isn't about becoming miserable.It's about becoming free.John describes two selves within us: the impulsive self, driven by whatever we happen to want right now, and the valuing self, shaped by what we most deeply believe matters: love, joy, peace, patience and generosity.The goal of the spiritual life isn't to spend every day desperately resisting everything we want.It's to increasingly become the kind of person who is no longer controlled by destructive desires.Drawing from Psalm 51, Romans 8, and Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man Is Hard to Find, John explores Jesus' strange invitation to die in order to truly live.To mortify is to liberate.And it can begin with one very small act today.In this episode: What “mortification” actually means  Jesus' paradox of dying in order to live  Samuel Johnson on how death clarifies life  Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man Is Hard to Find Psalm 51 and David's prayer of repentance  The impulsive self vs. the valuing self  Why following Jesus isn't endless miserable resistance  How destructive desires lose their power  Mortification as liberation  A simple practice for becoming more free today Scriptures: Psalm 51 • Romans 8:13 • 2 Samuel 11–12 • Matthew 16:25#Psalm51 #JohnOrtberg #Psalms #SpiritualFormation #Freedom #DyingToSelf #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Jesus #Transformation

Hour 3 (8.21) L.A. County's own report puts the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal at 4,500 film and TV jobs lost over three years — on top of the 52,000 the region has already shed since 2022. And that's if the studios stay. 8:05 PM — Attention, Angelenos.

Discovery merger would cost roughly 4,500 direct film and TV jobs in the county, with more than 10,000 total job-years and billions in economic activity at risk. That's the version where the merged company stays here. David Ellison is threatening to move operations to Texas or Tennessee if Rob Bonta won't come to the table by October 1. Bonta and eleven other attorneys general are suing to block the deal, and trial isn't until March. Then a burglary suspect in a Honda Accord led LAPD for over an hour through the Valley — through a CSUN parking structure, through a gas station, T-boned by an innocent driver in Granada Hills — before pulling a U-turn on the 405 and going head-on into a CHP SUV in North Hills. He ran. He didn't get far. 8:20 PM — Leveling Out: come meet Stu Mundel at Dave & Buster's in Orange. Plus the Los Feliz water main that let go at 11 o'clock last night at Commonwealth and Avocado — a six-inch cast iron line that buckled the sidewalk and flooded a restaurant patio. Crews had it back in service by 8 a.m. LADWP says the city averages two to four of these a day, which is either reassuring or the opposite. 8:35 PM — End of week WHIP. Then the tipping point, and we mean it literally: one survey has the average American leaving about $38 a month in tips they didn't want to leave in the first place, and Toast's data across 171,000 restaurants puts the overall average tip at 18.8%, dropping to 13.7% on takeout. Nearly three-quarters of Americans say they're being asked to tip in more places than five years ago. Skip the tip? We take your calls. Plus another chase, this one out of Woodland Hills. 8:50 PM — SeaWorld San Diego turned its Bayside Amphitheater into a Y2K block party. Ying Yang Twins opened the run, Ginuwine, Bow Wow, E-40, Ashanti and Jordin Sparks followed, and Too $hort and Warren G closed it out — all included with park admission, all going viral on TikTok, all with the bay behind the stage. Grandmothers, parents and kids at the same show. How a marine park accidentally built the best throwback series in Southern California. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's storyteller reflects on her relationship with her grandmother against the backdrop of a family deeply marked by cancer. As relatives fall ill and pass away, truths are hidden and grief moves quietly through generations.This conversation explores memory, cultural silence, substitution and survival, what it means to be mistaken for someone who is gone, and how presence itself can become an act of love. It's a meditation on mortality — and on what it means to remain.More about Esther: https://www.instagram.com/estheryumiko/https://paragraphsandpixels.substack.com/More about iRise Above Foundation: https://www.iriseabovefoundation.org/https://www.instagram.com/irise_above/Buy the MBC: Paradox issue: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shop/p/digital-mbc25Shop Wildfire merch & more: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/shopBuy the Wildfire book Igniting the Fire Within: Stories of Healing, Hope & Humor, Inside Today's Young Breast Cancer Community: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJVJ629F?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860Get the free Wildfire “Hot Flashes” email newsletter: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/newsletter?rq=newsletterLearn about Wildfire writing workshops: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/workshops*Free* Get Wildfire and The Burn freebies here: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/freeMore about Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.orghttps://www.instagram.com/wildfire_bc_magazine/https://www.facebook.com/wildfirecommunityInformation on submitting your story for consideration to be published in Wildfire Journal: https://www.wildfirecommunity.org/submissions

In this episode, poet and ornithologist J. Drew Lanham shares how his grandmother's personal names for the birds helped shape his own relationships with birds. Names such as “redbirds” for Northern Cardinals, “rain crows” for Yellow-billed Cuckoos, and “cat owls” for Great Horned Owls help him feel personally connected to these species. Through developing one's own ornithology and personal names for birds, he says, anyone can strengthen their bond with birds. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

This Week on True Crime News The Podcast: After the shocking discovery of six dead bodies, police claim that a custody battle caused the deaths of four young children, along with their mother and grandmother. According to authorities, Amy Steadman and her daughter, Sarah Myers, conspired to kill Myers' four children, Harper Harmon, Hudson Harmon, and twins Gavin and Gracelynn Harmon, before taking their own lives.Imran Ansari joins host Ana Garcia.

In this episode of In the Telling (Season 5, Episode 42), we sit down with Negarra Kudumu, a healer, priestess, and cultural worker, to explore the power of family stories, memory, and firsthand knowledge. Kudumu reflects on her grandmother, Ella Christine, whose childhood was shaped by family separation during the Great Migration from Georgia to Chicago. As a child, Kudumu was captivated by her grandmother's unwavering insistence on telling what she knew to be true, a lesson that shaped her understanding of memory, storytelling, and who has the authority to tell a family's history.Kudumu offers an intimate portrait of a woman whose experiences—and ways of navigating the world—continue to shape her life. The conversation considers how the stories we inherit carry both the pain and resilience of previous generations, and how those stories become a source of knowledge and guidance. 

As a great-grandmother, Beth probably wouldn't describe herself as an influencer, but what else do you call it when videos of her go viral and prompt people to follow her?Longtime podcast listeners may remember episode 754: (Aunt) Trish Ellis and (Niece) Evelyn Wallace, part 1: Not Even Cancer Holds Her Back. We mentioned Beth, Evelyn's mom and Trish's sister. All three of them took the workshop. Beth and Evelyn also took my leadership and initiative courses that I offered to workshop alumni.Beth's initiative project was to pick up litter daily, but not just pick it up. She was inspired by an initiative she'd seen to restore pride in a community. For example, I pick up litter, but I just do it to clean where I walk. Her goal was bigger: to restore and inspire pride in where she lives, Mérida, Mexico. She planned things like a sign to invite favorable attention, what to wear, when to go out, how to talk to people.She's been picking up litter since. Then last month, at an alumni online lunch, she shared that someone secretly recorded her, posted the video, and by then the video had been seen over 1 million times. Plus, attention was leading to people joining her movement, opportunity to work with government, and more. I posted about it on my blog: Secret video of Beth picking up litter goes viral in Mexico.I invited her to share here. Listen for what happens when you persist.Beth's community page: Yo ❤ Mérida limpia. ¿Y tú?My post on her, linking to her videos and some media coverage: Secret video of Beth picking up litter goes viral in Mexico Hosted on Acast.

What happens when a journalist who hates the cold decides to spend three years immersing himself in one of the most extreme athletic subcultures on Earth? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with award-winning journalist and author Chris Ballard to explore the world behind his book The Plunge. After a hip replacement at just 42 forced Chris to rethink his identity as an athlete, cold water initially became a tool for recovery. But curiosity eventually pulled him much deeper, from cold showers and plunges to competitive ice swimming in water below 41°F and ultimately representing the United States at the Ice Swimming World Championships. Together, Darin and Chris separate cold exposure hype from reality, explore what actually happens to the body in freezing water, and reveal why the greatest benefits Chris discovered weren't necessarily physical. They dive into resilience, emotional regulation, mental health, community, our increasingly comfortable modern lives, and why voluntarily doing difficult things may provide something many of us desperately need. What You'll Learn How a hip replacement at 42 led Chris into the world of cold exposure What officially qualifies as ice swimming and why 41°F is the threshold Which popular cold plunge benefits may be overhyped Why community became the most surprising theme of Chris's research How body composition and genetics influence cold tolerance The real dangers of extreme cold and the 1-10-1 survival rule How repeated cold exposure may train emotional regulation and resilience Why cultures in Finland and Denmark treat cold exposure completely differently than Americans How cold swimming has helped some people navigate grief, depression, and isolation Why deliberately doing hard things may matter more than ever in a world built around convenience Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:24 – Introducing Chris Ballard and the world of cold water swimming 00:04:29 – The hip replacement that changed Chris's life at 42 00:05:40 – How NBA recovery techniques led him to cold exposure 00:07:34 – Going from cold plunges to competitive ice swimming 00:09:40 – Inside the extreme subculture of swimming below 41°F 00:11:01 – The challenge that convinced Chris to compete himself 00:12:17 – Ice swimming and the original spirit of the Winter Olympics 00:13:21 – How to safely begin training for cold exposure 00:15:14 – What officially qualifies as ice swimming? 00:16:20 – Separating cold plunge science from hype 00:17:15 – The most surprising benefit wasn't physical 00:18:05 – Why cold swimming creates such powerful community 00:19:29 – Cold exposure, loneliness, and human connection 00:20:45 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:22:33 – Why actually getting in the water changed Chris's reporting 00:23:47 – The surprising body type advantage in cold water 00:25:19 – Grandmothers, elite athletes, and the mental side of ice swimming 00:26:09 – When cold water becomes genuinely dangerous 00:27:02 – The 1-10-1 rule for surviving cold water 00:29:41 – Chris attempts an ice kilometer 00:30:28 – Has modern comfort made us weaker? 00:32:19 – Why Finland laughs at America's cold plunge protocols 00:33:36 – The cold plunge benefits that may be overhyped 00:35:51 – Can you train your body to generate heat? 00:36:51 – Anticipatory thermogenesis and extreme cold adaptation 00:38:12 – How three years of cold exposure changed Chris's body 00:39:44 – Training emotional regulation through voluntary discomfort 00:40:48 – Building resilience one difficult moment at a time 00:42:02 – Why modern life is starving us of accomplishment 00:44:13 – AI, shortcuts, and why difficult work still matters 00:46:30 – Why Chris believes experiential storytelling can't be replaced 00:48:55 – The extraordinary people Chris discovered while writing The Plunge 00:49:57 – Cold water, grief, and finding a reason to keep moving 00:50:52 – How cold swimming became a mental health lifeline 00:52:09 – A global community united by challenge 00:53:51 – What Chris's cold exposure routine looks like today 00:54:27 – Why swimming may be the perfect lifelong sport 00:55:05 – Making the U.S. Ice Swimming National Team 00:56:05 – Could ice swimming become an Olympic sport? 00:57:17 – Why swimming through freezing water feels completely different 00:58:01 – Cold water forces you completely into the present moment 00:58:29 – Cold swimming, men's mental health, and escaping your thoughts 00:59:13 – What's next for Chris Ballard 00:59:35 – Accomplishment versus scrolling 01:00:00 – Final thoughts and making cold exposure accessible Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.

It's Tuesday, August 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Canada euthanized Christian grandmother against her will The nation of Canada continues down the dark path of euthanasia. This time, comes this shocking story, where the state euthanized Brigitte Stegemann, an 83-year-old Christian grandmother, against her will and the will of her family. On the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition blog, her granddaughter said,  “One of our greatest ethical concerns is that GG had explicitly declined [Medical Assistance in Dying], stating it violated her Christian faith. Once a vulnerable patient explicitly declines this path, the facility should never have targeted her for re-evaluation behind closed doors while her primary advocate was away.” More than 5% of all deaths in Canada are attributed to Medical Assistance in Dying. It is the fifth leading cause of death there. Psalm 94:4 and 6 cries out: “How long shall they utter and speak hard things and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? … They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.” Severe drought in Europe and blazing hot July in America God has brought a severe drought on Europe. Since 1836, the month of July was the driest for England and Wales in recorded history, reports Reuters. Similarly, the United States experienced the hottest July since 1895.  Also, March 2026 was the hottest March ever — 9.4° above the 20th-century average. Ukraine drone attack killed 13 Russians, injured 75 Ukraine's drone attack on Russia's oil hub killed 13 citizens and wounded another 75 over the weekend, reports PBS.  Russia says they shut down 450 drones. In addition, Russia killed 21 people in Kyiv in this ongoing drone-based tit-for-tat warfare. The changing military alliances overseas Internationally, nations are lining up in allied positions. Just last week, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia signed a pact, in which all three nations agreed that an attack on any of the three nations would be taken as an attack on all. Pakistan's relationship with China has also warmed up considerably.   China supplies Pakistan's military weaponry and Pakistan strongly supports Beijing on Taiwan, Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, and the South China Sea. If we include China's growing relationship with Russia, this axis of powers now holds 6,100 nuclear warheads in total, almost exactly the same number held by the allied powers of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, India, and Israel.  Keep in mind: God is over all the armies of the Earth. Isaiah 13:4–5 states that “The LORD of hosts musters the army for battle. They come from a far country, from the end of Heaven, the LORD and His weapons of indignation, to destroy the whole land.” Columbia hit by major earthquake Another devastating earthquake hit Colombia yesterday morning, killing 111 people, reports the Associated Press. It was 7.4 on the Richter scale. This follows another 7.5 earthquake in Venezuela a few weeks ago, that killed 5,000 people. Colombia produces 80% of the world's cocaine.  However, Friday marked the first day in office for Colombia's new president —  Abelardo de la Espriella. He is an admirer of President Donald Trump and had promised an "all-out war" on the drug cartels. South America has swung to the right over the last few years. Now eight countries are led by presidents who would align more with President Donald Trump. Only three South American nations are led by presidents that bend towards the left including Brazil, Bolivia and Venezuela. Two-thirds of Americans support the death penalty Pew Research has found that Americans favor the use of the death penalty for murder convictions, in line with Genesis 9:6.   A full two-thirds of Americans say they favor the death penalty, and only 32% oppose it.  The numbers have remained about the same for the last seven years. Yet, in the first half of 2026, capital juries chose not to execute the murderer at least 19 times, more often than to execute. Murders in America average 15,000 per year, yet on average, only 23 murderers are put to death.  That's one-tenth of one percent!  And this year, only 19 murderers have received the death penalty.  Genesis 9:6 says, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image.” Network for Hope shut down for its immoral organ donor system The Department of Health and Human Services has decertified Network for Hope, an organ transplant organization that was exposed for unsafe and immoral practices. Heidi Klessig of Life Site News explained, “Removing Network for Hope's certification was absolutely necessary, but will not address the most pressing problem underlying our current organ donation system: organ donors must be biologically alive in order to donate viable organs.” Attorney General Todd Blanche eager to end mail-order abortions And finally, newly appointed Attorney General Todd Blanche has pledged to work towards solidifying pro-life gains across the country, as well as to end mail-order abortions. Not surprisingly, all Democrats voted against Blanche's nomination.   According to Americans United for Life, “Through his statements and actions as Acting Attorney General, Mr. Blanche has shown himself to be a sincere advocate for human life and a faithful servant of President Trump's pro-life agenda.”  And Blanche himself has stated, “If states have said, ‘We are going to protect the unborn and we're going to protect every life from the moment of conception,' we're putting practices and policies in place so that other states and other organizations can't attack that. They can't do things like they're doing with mailing in mail-order drugs.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, August 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Print story United States exits United Nations Livestock group The United States government is pulling out of the United Nations' Global Plan of Action for Sustainable Livestock Transformation, The New American reported.  The decision, announced by the Officer for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Paul Welcher, comes because the declaration promotes climate change, so-called equality, and other radical policies.  Per Politico, “The plan, which is completely voluntary, was finally adopted by delegates on Friday [July 17]. It advises countries to address issues such as biodiversity, animal welfare, emissions and how to prevent the spread of disease.”

In Part 2 of this 2023 episode, criminals are running the grandparent scam all over the San Diego area. Often crimes like this go unsolved, but FBI agent Brady Finta and his law enforcement partners believe this situation is unique. There is a video and an eyewitness. Arresting the messenger who took Susan's $9,000 might just bring down an entire criminal operation. But investigators must proceed carefully.
